[Defy General] andyfletcher:
Hi,

I actually have both the HTC Desire (for work) and the Motorola Defy (for home). Both devices are superb.

In all honesty i would say that my HTC Desire which is running a custom lightweight Oxygen 1.03 rom does feel slight quicker in flicking through screens and menus. But the Moto Defy running the zeam launcher is great it benchmarked faster than a stock Desire and Samsung Galaxy S on quadrant too, so it certainly is no slouch.

I also think the Defy (all black version) is better looking device than the Desire, down to personal preference, but the Desire does look a little dated somehow these days. The Defy has the same size screen as the Desire but without the extra chunk of plastic where the buttons are and feels much more pocketable.

For the price the Defy is a little cracker.

I have configured a number of Wildfires for friends and family as well as the odd one at work, it is a nicer looking phone than the desire but the screen is nowhere near as good as either the amoled or slcd desire or the defy. Also if you root the wildfire you have the annoying problem about removing the battery after charging it each time.

Hope this helps.

Andy

[Streak 5 General] slekkas:
When first updated to 2.2 a few weeks ago i just had to disable 3g and GPS and my battery lasted all day with heavy usage.

Last night i update to version 318. Today with the gps and 3g disabled my battery didn't last more than 8:00pm.

Can anyone point out the cause of this? What magic trick do we have to do again to get this phone working as it should????
[Streak 5 General] ipguy:
Sell it and buy a HTC
[Streak 5 General] irtehun:
Wow. That really helps the problem don't it.
[Streak 5 General] Godo_PPL:
LOL

You should check your battery usage statistic. Maybe something is using more data (wifi) than your last test.

I guess that even if 3g data or wifi is not enabled, something set to sync every 30 minutes (or less) will still use some battery (in form of cpu processing) to check if data connection is available.

I always love finding new things to add to my phone from these threads. I seem to be redoing my entire layout every 3 days, but here are my current screens. I only have 3 home screens.

The Rom is Fission 2.3 with some tweaks and stuff. I've been thinking about trying to port over Avalon for Fission, but Fission keeps changing so fast that it seems like as soon as I can change one version its become obsolete! As soon as finals are over though I might sit down and give it another go. I'd like to have a decent white theme on the D2.

Figured I'd use my first post to show what a total newbie to rooting, ROMs, etc. can accomplish just by doing extensive reading of this forum. Thanks to all you helpful people! Running Fission 2.3.1 with tgwaste's Third Eye Black Theme.

What power widget is that? I have one called extended controls, but mine doesn't have a.dot feature like your widget. Like with your WiFi and Bluetooth things.

Thanks for the help.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] phrozen87:
Extended controls can do the dots. Its under indicator style i think, might be on the second tab in the new 5.0.3 gui. Just look through the options for the indicators cuz I have had mine run as dots before.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] droid void:
Yeah I know what you mean by the indicator thing. But to me it displays and weird square kind of thing. Maybe its my setting on launcher pro I have it set to 5 item homescreen thing.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
so this is an annoying little problem i've noticed but i have a feeling there's really not much i can do about it, but i figured i'd ask...

whenever i'm at home and connected to wifi, and wifi calling is on, and i'm on a call and walk out the door, get in my car and start to back out of the driveway, as soon as i'm outside of the wifi signal range, my phone drops the call. i'm guessing the technology isn't there to switch the call back to a regular connection midcall. of course when this happens i turn off the wifi, my 3g signal comes back, and then i call the person back. it's not the biggest deal in the world, but it is kind of a pain and i always forget about it when i'm on a call and about to leave the house.

so is this normal behavior like i'm guessing, or is there a way around this?

thanks

Dave

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yanir99:
I searched for over a year to unlock my Samsung I600 and there is no detailed howto or even a real way to unlcok it.

Well I finally did it and wanted to share.

First of all there are 2 types of locking, there is "SIM Lock" and "Network Lock". for the first one there are a couple of threads around the internet, but for the "Network Lock" you need a code generated specialy for your phone using your IMEI. The "Network Lock" is something that is saved in the NV RAM and so kept through ROM updates.

In order to check what is your phone locked to type the following *7465625*638*#

You will be presented with the lock status of your device.

Now I haven't tried it for the SIM Lock but it should work for all types of locks.

Type this code *#0011#

You'll get into a test menu, click "Back" and "Back" again until you get to the menu where you have the "Common" options (usually 9). select that option and in that menu you have "NV Rebuild" choose that option.

And now simply select the option "NV Rebuild no RF Backup"

It will simply rebuild the NV RAM and erase all locks stored in it.

Tested on I600 and I780 mostly likely to run on I900 and more Samsung models.

And that's how you unlock I600 Network Lock.

Hope it will help someone.

Hi thanks for the info. I tried this on my Samsung i600, and when I chose the rebuild option it said 'Rebuild will be done. Please reboot phone' (or similar). When I rebooted it still has the lock on.

When I tried the *7465625*638*# code I got two fields displayed listed as:

Network Lock

MCC / MNC

When I turn the phone on with a SIM in it asks for 'Phone PIN', with a message about having to be used with a specific SIM.

Anyone offer any advice on unlocking this please?

Unlocking with unique code

Almost every phone can be unlocked with a unique code. If someone buys 1 code, it works on all phone's from that model. So, your providers ask $100 for it, a company can unlock it for $30, and if you team up together, someone can buy it and share the bill, than give it to you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuffthumbz:
so i just found out about "rooting" my phone. i was a really into customizing my jailbroker iphone.

Im having trouble finding a good tutorial on youtube or a root for dummies post.

Basically i used unrevoked and got the special permission thing. Now im lost. i want it mainly for customization. i dont quite get the whole rom thing. i installed rom manager clockwork. I got a theme from here called fresh and it worked after i fallowed the directions on a video. I had to go back to my backup i made because i was not happy with the theme and how it limited my youtube options.

what im asking is, is this really as hard as it seems? i feel like im breaking my phone or this is really risky.

i really wish i could get a better grasp here.

so is rom manager only for themes off this site?

can i install themes without my computer?

very confused.

please be gentle im a complete noob

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bizdady:
Start off by changing your launcher, I recommend launcher pro. Itll let you customize the dock and screens and just go from there.

not sure if i trust giving my credit card info to something i know nothing about.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roscoe08:
Launcher pro is free. Launcher pro plus cost I think 1.99 but in my opinion it is well worth it. Also if you want to tether your computer you can't download wifi tether its free in the market.
[Epic 4G General] vince06:
Back in September I took my phone both to Best Buy and Sprint a week after I got it asking them to take a look at my loose screen. Both places said it's just how it is and didn't even bother taking a look at it.

Flash forward to today I decided to take it in again because of the screen as well as constant GPS, battery, and screen orientation issues. Went to one Sprint store and they said nothing other than that I would have to pay $35. I said no so I went to another Sprint store. At first the second store said they couldnt even touch my phone because I didnt have any insurance. Then a minute later they took it to someone else in the back and they came to the decision that I had software issues and, get this, I had physical damage from opening the screen too hard resulting in it being loose. So after explaining that I was told by them back in September during my 30 days that the screen was supposed to be like that they of course said to go to Best Buy. I knew BB wouldnt do anything but I went anyways and was told I should have got the Black Tie Protection. Went back to the second Sprint store and asked to talk to a manager and the two guys working there said that the manager wasnt there (how convenient). Then I asked what time he would be there today and they replied he wasnt gonna be there today at all (yea ok). So I asked what time he would be there tomorrow or any time this week and one guy just blurted out 10am which seemed like a lie.

Now I know I didnt purchase any insurance from Sprint or BB so them not helping isnt really too surprising but for them to tell me I opened the screen too hard resulting in the screen being loose pissed me off. I'm gonna just try going through the Samsung warranty once I can get my hands on a cheap Sprint phone so I'm not left without anything. Hopefully they can send me a replacement.
[Epic 4G General] LucJoe:
Pretty sure all Sprint phones have a 1 year warranty. As far as I know, you get in store service but not the Asurion portion of TEP. Also for some instore stuff they charge $35.

This is what I remember from when I looked into it about a year ago and it seems to fit with your story. I would definitely go after the sprint stores for this one. Make sure you're going to places authorized as repair

http://sprintstorelocator.com/search.aspx Check "Repair centers near me" and search

In the end, they will most likely swap out the phone, and you might have to pay $35. It's worth it. Going through Samsung will likely be impossible and on the odd chance that they will honor a warranty you will have to send it in and wait for a turn around (no phone for 2 weeks).

Good luck!
[Epic 4G General] chrisj_0:
I'd call support. phone support is generally much better than the idiots in the sprint stores. I never go to a sprint store it's easier and faster to call.
[Epic 4G General] hdnet1:
Sprint changed the policy about service on phones that are in warranty but not on a account with the service and repair insurance. They charge you 35 bucks, regardless if you're in warranty or not to fix hardware issues, excluding water damage or board level damage. The 35 includes new screens or a new phone if that's what it takes. If you pay the 4 dollars a month for the service option, you're not charged the 35 dollars.

About the only way you could fix a Epics loose screen would be to just take your board out and put it in another Epic that they have harvested for parts, or just order you a refurbed phone.
[Epic 4G General] rockethot:
The loose screen has to be a design flaw. I had that same issue and got it replaced 2 times because of it. After those two replacements i gave up since every phone was loose like that. Then a few weeks ago my screen began to turn red so I got it replaced under warranty. The phone they gave me didn't have the loose screen. Maybe that issue only applies to the earlier Epics.
[Epic 4G General] vince06:
I understand paying the 35 bucks but the thing is they are now blaming me for the loose screen that I originally brought up to them. Ill most likey just pay it sometime after christmas they said it would take 3 days

edit: and yea i'm hoping that the newer phones no longer have the problem
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Something I tell my patients families: The squeaky gear gets the grease.

What that means is you need to be the squeaky gear. Best time to go to sprint is when they have a lot of prospective customers in the store and make a lot of noise about non-existent support, poor support, you get the idea, right?

The squeaky gear never has a problem getting what they want to be done....
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
So I was thinking to root my phone but then i read that official froyo is coming soon so i might wait but will sometime update to gingerbread when a good rom comes out. So i was wonderign is overclocking dangerous and can it brick ur phone? ALso do the roms have finnish language? And wtf does nandroid back up mean and sd card back up and titanium backup? And can I unroot easily and use official rom on a rooted phone? I know i probably could have found all this stuff somewhere but really cant understand any of that **** so if sum1 could explain it to me :) So to sum up Should i root? ty :)
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Well you can wait for official froyo and update, or you can install roms now when there are plenty of good froyo roms already, which become updated on the release of official froyo.

Overclocking can't brick your phone, don't set it to max as it becomes unstable. I duno about language, ask the devs. Nandroid = take a backup of your entire rom (phone memory), sd card back up is obvious, titanium backup = taking a backup of all your apps and settings and storing it on your sd card so you can restore it back.

Yes you can unroot by dling any RUU from www.shipped-roms/shipped/Buzz -> Connect phone to computer with usb debugging on and run the RUU which is an .exe file. Then root with unrevoked.
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
How do I know which RUU to pick? And wtf is clockwork mod? And radio?

And going to recovery? Anyway so would u guys recommend rooting?
[Wildfire General] dannystppls:
RUU picking is very simple just look for the version number 2.1.x eclair 2.2.x froyo

and pick the one u want.

Clockwork mod is a utility for installing the roms and make back-ups of ur current rom with all you settings and files and everything.

I would definitely recommend rooting your phone cuz it allows u to take the most out of ur phone overclocking, live wallpapers (depends on ROM) and lots of other stuff :P

Good luck deciding ;)
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
Yeah but how do I know which RUU I had? And how do U get to this clockwork think and wtf is kernel? :D Also does rooting decrease ur battery life?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Oops i accidentally clicked the thanks button for you. LOL :D

Check which software version is. Usually in Menu -> About phone (or something similar). If the RUU of your version is not there, i would recommend dling a similar one to yours, or a WWE one. To go to clockworkmod (recovery menu). Hold down trackpad and press power button to turn on phone. This is where you can flash new roms, kernels etc (by going to Install zip from sd card). Kernels are ... special thingies for your phone that make it awesome, like Jacob's overclock kernel.

No rooting does not decrease your battery life, i wonder where you got that from :|
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
Lol I clicked ur thanks button coz u've actually helped me :D So does it matter where on the sd i install roms etc? U need kernell to overclock? So does overclocking boost the performance of the phone?
