[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattisekholm:
Hey people. Thanks for all info, been reading about the defy here for some time. Got one now and I love it. I had a few smartphones before and this is by far the one I would stick to forever if I had to.

So, my question is: Are there any good head phones (in-ear plugs, with mic and maybe even music controlers) avaliable, and that I can be certain to be compatible with the Defy? Or could I just buy any that works fine with other Android or Motorola devices? Motorola is not sold in Sweden where I live, so it's not like I can check out any stores IRL here...

With my Xperia x20 mini, exacly what I described came along with the phone. Too bad that you just got these normal plugs with the defy. Cos there is just no way I would use those. As of now I stick to my old head phones but I'd love the mic function with my In-ear plugs.

Thanks for any help!

Ekholm

Ok, so I found this site:

thinkmotoroladefy.com/wiredheadsets.html

and it's all looking good, except for the part that they are a bit low-priced. I'm looking for high quality ones. I.e my current head phones was about 90 USD.

For information, iphone handsfree works fine ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattisekholm:
Thanks!

By chance, does anyone know if "Klipsch Image S4i" would work? they seams to be perfect! Volume, track fwd bwd and play...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathJester:
I got one of these a few months ago, works fine with my HTC Desire. Not the best headphones in the world, but more than capable of handling a bus ride. You can unplug the headphones, clip on a small plastic hook and use it as an in-ear Bluetooth headset too. Two birds with one stone :D

I can get around 10 hours out of them between charges.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattisekholm:
Thanks, it seams to be mono, right? Mono doesnt sound too thrilling...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishbowlhead:
If you use power amp you can set it up to use the controls on headphones to start and stop music, instead of calling the last number you called. It will work on the lock screen too.

This was the only way of getting it to work i found for the defy and i tried about 10 different headphones with in-line controls. Bluetooth stereo sets like the one above with controls seem to work fine for music however, ive got a sony bluetooth set and the controls worked right away on the standard media player.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin.flory:
Really? i got philips iphone headset with remote and there is a constant background noise, probably caused by the remote. which headset are you using?

the one that came with my phone has no remote!

I use Razer Moray+™ they have no remote function so you have to answer the call on the phone. But you have a mic and the work good for musik and phone calls.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hulkanator:
anyone got an update for this, still looking for ear buds with a mic.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erra:
Klipsch Pro Media set(based on the S4i but a bit better build for traveling etc).

Awesome set up with defy. The S5i rugged set is also great as they are moisture proof and very overbuilt.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bether:
Thx,

Yeah, exactly as you wrote.

I remade cheap handset with remote (from eg. www.ebay.com).

It works with any headphones :-)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-segers:
I used my original headset on a iphone before. So I assume that every headset that works on the iphone should also work on the defy.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krusadr:
I wonder if Sony Ericsson's headsets work. These seem pretty good:

goo.gl/TquJQ

goo.gl/eQc9W

Would be good if they work.

BTW, I tried Samsung Galaxy SL's Stereo In ear handsfree and the sound quality was just awesome! Might get myself one of those!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senergy:
I've tried the iPhone standard headphones and sound works but Mic and controls don't. There is a pair of sennheiser mm50 Nokia. Which will work fine. Ordering one shortly.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiristiba:
Hi

I can confirm that at least not all iphone headset work the defy, even if the pinout is identical. I tried the Sennheiser MM70i and they don't work!

I soldered the mic of the standard Headset to the MM70 and now im happy,

but definitely nothing i can recommend ;)

greetings
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaidenis:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
Hello, i rooted my htc desire and flashed a ROM on it...now i need to flash another ROM onto my phone. Just need to know, can i directly flash another ROM or do i need to reroot my phone before that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
yes, you will keep root until you use a RUU, so just flash
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
Ok, so i dont understand..u mean to say i dont need to reroot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
Once you root a phone, you're rooted for life until you decide to unroot.

So, you can change roms without having the need to reroot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
Ok everyone...thanks for the info
[Nexus S General] AndroidMilos:
How long will the Nexus S warrantee last when I buy it outright? Hopefully greater than 30days from Google?
[Nexus S General] ma2k5:
Was 1 year for Nexus One.
[Nexus S General] AndroidMilos:
Thank you. I think then the new Nexus S will have the same warantee.
[Nexus S General] neok44:
yeah 1 year basic warranty, you can also buy best buy's protection plan on it, which i don't know how they work for the phones, but i've bought them on game controllers and the plans are amazing.

I've had 2 rock band guitars break, and both times i just walked into best buy, said hey it broke, and walked out with a brand new guitar 15 minutes later. Same for a regular xbox controller and a bluetooth headset.

Can't say it'll be 100% the same with the phones but should be similar, it also helps that i'm a premier silver reward zone member lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Integrating BLN in the latest firmwares requires the XXJPU source.

Please send your request for the XXJPU sources to: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=inquiryView

It will not take more than 2 minutes. Consider that XXJPU is 2.2.1 - a major firmware update and without the source WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO FURTHER MODS, OPTIMIZATIONS AND TWEAKS!

Please guys request what is rightfully yours from Samsung but in a nice and polite way ;)

THANK YOU!

PS:

Please take a look at how eg Linux or Mozilla run things.

Source is available at all times for any build be it alpha beta or even the smallest update.

Please don't come with stupid arguments like "ohhh but it's not released yet".

Thanks again.
​
[Galaxy S I9000 General] corgar:
Done
[Galaxy S I9000 General] supercurio:
Absolutely, it's really needed also for most Voodoo developments.

Voodoo color and sound are impossible without updated sources now.

Samsung developers are aware of the dev. effort by us even if they are quiet in forums.

Before each release, sources come through a validation process and the people who do that have obviously a lot of work.

But any gentle inquiry sent to them can only demonstrate the crucial aspect of the source releases.

They must release sources, however if you want it to be efficient, be sure your request is nice ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
Im not a developer, but even I know that samsung releases sources only for final fw. So why wasre time? when it is on kies samsung (as they showed severeal times) will release sources very quickly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] titooo7:
If I'm not wrong XXJPU isnt an official firmware yet. Would be really possible to get the sources already???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] corgar:
We can write standard text to send. Just copy paste. Like a petition!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] friedi100:
Done.

Hopefully Samsung listens to our requests.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
We got JPA and JPO a few weeks before they started rolling out as official. I'm quite sure that hosting 100 more MB win't overload their servers.

As for Samsung posting the firmwares "quick enough", that's not true.

Open source is best handled in an open repository where components are updated regularly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] friedi100:
Samsung has also not released the source code from JPP!!!! They have only released the sources from jpm!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] supercurio:
JPU is an incompatible update, this is why new sources are required.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spyrale:
done :) hope they'll release soon...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] supercurio:
This wasn't the case for many Eclair Kies release. This is why it's important tho show continuously our interest for sources.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xandl12:
Also did the request.

Come on Samsung!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mathieumeuh:
Just did it and don't forget to say Best Regards at the end !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
Request sent!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
The fastest they send the sources, the fastest high quality features are added, the more likely Samsung will cooperate with us in the future.

They obviously don't care _that_ much right now, but things like better sound driver, sharpness etc "for free" are a good argument for releasing sources frequently.

(Beside all the GPL obligations that is)

I for one, would be glad to see some of these fixes go into their official release for example. (sharpness!! lol)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
Request sent. I hope it will help. I really want BLN, and Samsung is obliged to supply sources. strange, that they haven't done yet so.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Thanks guys, what we do here is also very important for Sammy to know that we aren't some brain-dead sheep; the more they realize the users are ignorant the more likely they will lessen their efforts to provide quality support.

This type of communication is very important as they don't have a repository where devs can register to access the latest sources.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scimitar:
done :) Let's see how long it lasts ....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] allotrios:
Request politely and they will release them. Maybe not tomorrow but surely within a few weeks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BlockbusterF:
Request sent by me too. Hope something happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
AFAIK, they only have to provide the source to anyone who the compiled version (JPM) was distributed to. Since it was leaked to us, they don't have to give the code to us until whichever version they officially give us.

However, whoever leaked JPM is supposed to be able to the code from Samsung, so the compiled JPM leaker could also leak the code.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Please keep us updated on their response. Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reaper1412:
Already sent the request.

Recieved an email from samsung just now.

I think it is just an autoreply.

Will keep updating.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
Up

Done too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheNikkoMan:
Done.

I wish they'd start interacting with the community. Who knows what we could make from it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gllu:
I'd give credit to Samsung for leaking their Kernels till now, so let's wait patiently a few more day.

Question to developers : as far as I know, HTC are not giving their Kernels for free. So how come HTC phones get so good community support?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
firmwares..., not kernels. People know what your talking about.

Probably because samsung finally made one good phone, while htc have been doing it for 3 or so years?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Well my take on this is that XDA largely consists out of HTC fanboys that had no chance but to leave winmo.

Then, there's the Nexus one that was a HTC and was always getting the latest stuff directly from google.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
HTC has been running android into the ground for the past... since it was officially launched.

Why? because HTC is cheap. There's no SAMOLED, no decent video acceleration and the Snapdragon CPUs are crap, if you don't mind me saying. There simply is a reason why Nokia and Apple have never used them. They always advertise 10K ghz (remember TG01) and fail to deliver.

HTC is "good" because they used to get vanilla software from google via the nexus one contract, just drag and drop sense.

I mean seriously, Nexus one doesn't even have multitouch... + I have a lot of friends that are 100% convinced android sucks, all ex-HTC owners...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reaper1412:
Still no reply from samsung?

Anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
I'd imagine the people who could prepare and deliver the code probably don't usually work on the weekend.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
+1

Our timing wasn't the best one indeed...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
I'd imagine they wont release source code for a firmware that hasn't actually been released. When they release an official update I'm sure they will release the source.

For now it's a leak and I don't expect them to support it. But hopefully they don't take long to get a new official update out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
Yep. But whoever leaked it should have the source as per the GPL.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Look at how eg linux or mozilla run things. Source is available at all times for any build be it alpha beta oe even the slightest update.

Please don't come with stupid arguments like "ohhh but it's not released yet".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
Are we talking about ideal-world scenarios?

Sure, it would be great if Samsung had a public Git repository where we could see their progress every hour/minute/git push. But that ain't goinna happen.

There are very, very few companies that sell hardware that uses OSS that would do this. One thing that pops to my head initially is that their competitors would see the features long before they were released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reaper1412:
But, they could have sent us a reply.

Imagine what are they doing?

They seems so busy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
I predict this might be the last android 2.2.1. Sighz.......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
Working at the speed of bureaucracy. Perhaps they don't think it's high priority, and only have 1 person working to answer a huge backlog of emails, and their reply has to be vetted by a superior, who then has to submit a request to an engineering team who can inspect, clean up and deliver the code, which takes time, time they'd otherwise be spending developing more features and fixing more bugs.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to have the code so we can get better versions of Voodoo and Hardcore's kernel and an easier time porting CyanogenMod and the like.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
That is not a stupid argument, this is:

How Mozilla or Linux run things is of no relevance to Samsung.

You can't expect a company to support software that they didn't actually release.

Nothing wrong with asking, but acting as if you have a right to the source code is childish

When the firmware is released, then we can expect it because the license says they must release the source code with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
Recieved today:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reaper1412:
Same as mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Where do you send the petition and what do you write?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reaper1412:
I sent it to the URL in the first post.

I simply request the source code of the 2.2.1 Kernel.

I forgot the detail of my mail though.

Anybody else got the reply from samsung?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
Yeah, I got the same reply. Seems like they'll release the source code along with an update via Kies sometime this month :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Will it be possible to make this BLN as an app?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Got the same reply... annoying corporations...

No it's not possible to make BLN into an app, it has to be coded into the kernel.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
There seems to be no way to listen to music or the soundtrack of a video via Bluetooth a2dp ...

Tried with both the music player and vplayer but each time the sound only comes from the phone speaker and not the Bluetooth device.

Anyone managed this?
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
It works with the stock rom but I haven't seen any custom roms with it fully operational for media, just for calls.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Thanks, it seems there are a couple of widgets in the market that add the functionality. At least it's not a hardware limitation.
[Desire HD General] pwraggcan:
What apps are those? I want to try them please.
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
I have no problem with the stock ROM but i do use this...

A2DP Volume, you can get it on the market, it's Free. :)
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
The one I tried was called bluetooth audio widget, free trial. Will try a2dp volume though as the one I tried seemed to interfere with dsp manager so I installed.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Just tried a2dp volume and it doesn't work for me. That's with leedroid v1.2. Maybe this only works on stock?
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Got a2dp volume to work. Seems to do the job well for audio only but has anyone tried watching a video using Bluetooth a2dp for sound? Everything is completely out of sync. I don't there is anyway round this but thought I'd put it out there?

Same with stock player and vplayer.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Just tried Bluetooth audio widget again from the market and this keeps the audio in sync nicely, the only problem being that the quality is pathetic.

Anyone know of a better alternative that keeps audio and video sync?

I have seen lots of guides on rooting with custom ROMs. I also see lots of guides in the Wiki for rooting but none seem to answer my question.

Does anyone have a guide or steps to root a phone on the existing ROM (not a custom one)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hercules rockefeller:
Just root and flash a rooted stock rom. It's the same as flashing to any other Rom. I think there's a link to rooted stock roms in the wiki.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
If you're currently using a Stock device, using Unrevoked3 to root your phone will work. Then you'll want to do Unrevoked Forever (to get S-OFF). Lastly, if you don't want one of the "custom" ROM's, then there does in fact exist a Stock ROOTED (superuser, busybox, etc) ROM in the Wiki section.

For last 4 days I am using ZSJPE with Speedmod K10I

This is after having used JPO, DDJPA with all sorts of combinations.

Just as I was expecting that this is going to be a hit JPU hijacked the scene.

But ZSJPE vs JPU

ZSJPE is stock while JPU is leaked and still buggy

ZSJPE has everything fixed just like JPU

ZSJPE is completely bug free, and simply flys, JPU is having few bugs being reported

Kies connects, and no problem seeing internal and external storage on PC mac

Issues fixed in ZSJPE

GPS

Battery Life

Second Capital in Swype

Missing alphabets in contacts

Lag (nearly gone), quadrant without lagfix was over 1000.

As I researched, The XML files on apps from /data/data/<appname>/shared_prefs/ to /dbdata/databases/<appname>/shared_prefs/

According to Kalpik in post in thread JPU post 688 this could be the reason for the faster ROM.

Installation for trouble free and possibly best performance.

Backup apps through apps like titanium/mybackup

factory reset or full wipe.

go into download mode and flash using Odin, only PDA single file, NO PIT, no repartition required.

allow full boot and let full initialization, you will have to keep pressing next in setup wizard because it is in east asian language,

go to setttings>>location (from Square icon with A)>>Select 1st option>>select english.

shutdown

boot into download mode

flash speedmod kernel K10i

reboot

reboot into recovery

flash "simple root" installs super user and busybox.

flash 2e recovery

reboot

boot into recovery

apply lagfix (optional, as even without lagfix this rom flies), apply tweaks the top 4

reboot completely>>shutdown>>charge till full>>boot into recovery>>advanced CWM>>Clear battery stats

reboot and enjoy the NEW improved SGS experiance.

Do not expect quadrant scores over 1400-1600, but absolutely amazing phone.

Hope you will be able to find the ZSJPE and Speedmod Kernel in the forum.

Go Get It...

ZSJPE is as fast and smooth as XXJPU. ZSJPE has not given me single bug over last 5 days of rigorous use (rather misuse) to my surprise. ZSJPE is official HongKong ROM available through kies as well.

XXJPU is leaked ROM and various bugs are being reported. Worst of them is the poorly optimized browser, which is being reported to show checkerboard pattern while zooming in or out.

Hope I have clarified the point.
