Hi,

I'm a proud owner of the Motorola Defys and was happy until yesterday :-(

I have already read much in the forum and everything about the Defy.

My problem has already tried a post by someone :

1. Jan. 2011 ... As always, I close with my laptop to Defy the load on - but nothing happened. Only a white LED is on permanently.

Its similar in my case:

- Defy flashed with RSD (UK U3 2.1)

- RSD showed: Finished,

...but the

- Defy is not booting anymore

- LED light is white

- RSD does not recognize my Defy

- Charge the battery: Defy did not respond

- :-(

:mad: I'm desperate .. and hope to find some answears here...

Best Regards
[Defy General] somerlock:
ditto except mine actually goes through the boot pic and then loops. If I try to boot to USB cable restore (Volume up+boot) =white light. : (
[Defy General] andyfletcher:
hi there,

I had this after upgrading to the UK 2.5.1 and then wanting to run a 2.34 build.

If you plug the usb cable into the phone while rsdlite is active, the table below should say connected. Simply reflash the full version of 2.5.1 again and it works fine. There is then a method on the forum about gaining root access on 2.5.1. This worked fine for me and i am now running the clean 2.34 blurless rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894650 and this is superb and highly recommended.

As long as you get connected in rsdlite, dont worry your phone isnt bricked and you should have it up and running in no time at all!.

If you get really stuck, i can quite easily get mine into the "state" yours is and do a little video or document the steps for you if that helps.

Andy
[Defy General] BadRandolph:
ja, that means you have less voltage then you need to boot.

send it back or reload the battery, no chance of getting it up with no bootloader

*edit* me post is not related to andy fletcher, but to you two.

if ye connect the cable to load the battery, does there appear a sign of a batt with a questionmark in it?
[Defy General] Sorensiim:
First of all: Unplug the phone and power it off. Now hold the [Volume up] button while powering on the phone. Now you get to the bootloader. If it says battery ok, connect the USB cable and go nuts, RSD Lite will detect the phone when it's in the bootloader.

If it says "Battery Low, Cannot program", you can either send it in, hoping they'll just replace it without figuring out you have been rooting and flashing the phone. Or you can do what I did here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10264115 - Just take your time and pay attention to what your'e doing and you'll be fine :)
[Defy General] dirkdiggler17:
RSD cann not connect the Defy

hi Guys ...thank you for your answears...

no I can not start in bootloader ... defy is probably elsewhere ... No Booting No Recovery .. no boot loader ... only the white LED on USB

The Defy ich fully charged...and i tried to turn off take of tthe battery ...hard reset

nothings works :-(

I think i have to send it to Motorola :-(

[Defy General] Sorensiim:
Have you tried the USB jumpercable solution?
[Defy General] dirkdiggler17:
USB jumpercable :confused:

Hi..

I never heard about this...cann u tell me more..

Battery

Hi...okay thanks very much...this will be the last option for me...if u think the battery is low..then i'll try to start the bootLoader with a different Defy Battery...till then thanks again...

I ll report tomorrow....what happenend :-)
[Defy General] Sorensiim:
Mine acted like the battery had collapsed, reporting "Battery Low, cannot program" after 12 straight hours of charging, but after the usb jumplead trick, the battery has been just fine. I suspect that the problem was in the phone the whole time and being force-fed 5 volts snapped it out of it. Be sure to post what happens when using another battery!
[Defy General] dirkdiggler17:
Many thanks to Sorensiim!! wow it worked! I have used the battery of my friend who is also a Defy owner ....

the problem was the black screen ..

I could not see that the Defy was hanging and my battery was too low indeed... .... I had to continue to work with screen black and start the boot loader (Volume up and power on) and then the RSD has also finally recognized my Defy.... I'm going to flash the CleanJitDeodexd2.34CE and keep you informed. .. hopefully l finally also my market will work ......

thanks to all the nice guys discussed with me my problem... i am proud to be a member here ...thanks guys!!!
[Defy General] Sorensiim:
Glad it worked for you, keep us posted :)
[Defy General] astearon:
I got mine stuck on white led also, this was because of a mid rom flash interrupt (the cable got pulled out, dont ask who did it cuz i dunno)

Nothing i do makes the phone work, RSD did recognise my phone the first 2 times with white led and i tried to flash a rom but after it said "pass" the result was the same .. no image no bootloader just white led when phone is connected to pc.
[Defy General] cbfflo:
Hi everybody. I also have the same problem like astearon. I tried the jumper cable solution but no result: rsd lite don't recognize my defy, i can flash it but it don't reboot after flash, just black screen.

Thanks to people which will help me!

(sorry for my english!)
[Defy General] hmdknight:
try some other versions, preferably downgradable, try your original one

I had the same problem after flashing a higher version then noticed it is not supposed to be flashed on the original version my defy was on.
[Defy General] your_login:
so how come you can flash your phone with RSD Lite, if it doesn't recognize your phone ??
[Defy General] defy_rohit:
Hi All,

I am also having the same problem i.e., white led and RSD lite is able to recognize my defy. Tried to flash Defy_2_2_CN.sbf rom. Not sure what to do.

Appreciate if any one can suggest me something.

Thanks
[Defy General] WIIstpM:
Listen everybody!!

You DO NOT have to use the jumpercable method thingy..

You just have to buy an AC power supply and charge your defy...

It will light up after some minutes!!!

Sometimes when the battery is COMPLETELY low (empty) you cannot charge by plugging your phone to the PC over PC, only the white LED lights up..

But if you charge it by the AC power supply IT WILL CHARGE!!

From my own experience.
[Defy General] h9s:
AC power supply what you mean by that?

is it the wall charger that come with the box (charger+usb cable) ?? or like a built in wall charger like the normal one??

(*try charing with charger come with defy, finger cross) !!!!

Original wall charger not working ~~~

But Mcguyver Hack Works!!!!
[Defy General] WIIstpM:
USB cable+ charger..

It always work for me..

[Defy General] XRandomManX:
alright i think im having the same problems. i messed up on a cm7 rom and was giong to do it again but messed up on that now my phone just boot loops on the blue google image. i can take it to system recovery and bootloader but when i attach to my laptop in bootloader mode rsd lite doesnt recognize my defy. when i press ok to program on the phone it just goes to black screen with the white led on. hopefully you guys will tell me its just a bad battery. but any little bit helps.
[Defy General] law81:
I have the same problem here.

When plug to PC rsdlite not recognize the phone and white led is on, if i try to enter bootloader or recovery mode, windows recognize only for a second but later error. I try two differents batteries and i bought a battery charger but nothing.
[Defy General] aribis:
hi guys

i am facing the same issue after a flash episode...

now only have the white light lit up when connected to PC through USB and no light and black screen when connected to charger...scarry situation...

suppose someone can please suggest a way out...

thnx in advance...

PS: i would not like to loose my defy...please help.
[Defy General] dilfatx:
I was doing rsdlite and when it asked me to turn on my device manually i noticed the screen was off and had white light..i went to press the power button and nothing..

now i have this same issue.. only usb to pc will give me black screen and white light and ac to phone doesn't give me the white light..

I have also noticed that rsdlite doesn't recognize that the phone is plugged on anymore.
[Defy General] aribis:
Guys

I got my Defy up by using the McGyver hack as mentioned on these forums. Just make sure if the root cause is low battery or not. If battery is ok then try to flash a proper full stock sbf of your region. According to most nordic froyo is the best bet. I used the India froyo release...now am on jboogie3 blurry ginger 2.
[Defy General] rodolfo7171:
Same thing happened to me what did you end up doing. You can't flash original firmware as neither the computer not rds detects it no matter what you do
[Defy General] adirockyou:
problem solved

symtoms: just white led light while flashing connecting your motorola defy to computer or laptop and phone not getting switch on .

cause : very low battery

solution: connect your usb cable with the ac adapter supplied with your motorola defy, then press power button , your phone will start recharging ...:)
[Defy General] asawal:
defy stuck on white LED :(

my defy is stucked on whit LED when i connect it with usb.... nothing works...no bootloader....i have tried all the possible solutions i read on da forum...my battery is fully charged...but theres no indication of any hope...pls help :'(
[Defy General] wizwin:
Just check your battery on another Defy or at the service center.

Not to dis-hearten you but my Defy's motherboard had to be replaced after I faced this issue.

I gave away my old board and got the new board for a discounted rate.
[Defy General] dinesh07:
how much u paid for this ??:(
[Defy General] jonny_mcbravo:
i got the same problem

I got the same problem... Can you please help me to get out of it?
[Defy General] Elwyn M3100:
I've just had a problem with my usual charging method. A flat battery with several restart attempts meant the white LED was stuck on and not charging.

I changed the 'sync' cable to a 'charge' cable that was plugged into charge the phone and an hour later left alone it was on 60 percent charge, enough to restart to let me access the phone again.

I think I'll be using this charge cable more often now here overnight rather than the sync cable if it's that good ;)

Hello XDA people.

I have seen a nice application for a i-phone called BOV2 Turbo Boost Gauge

This application display a Boost gauge on your screen and check your G-Sensor.

If you ride a car and you give some throttle there is be a Turbo sound, end if you let your throttle release the application give a Turbo Blow Off Valve sound

Is this application available for a HTC HD2?

Look's fun for us.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] russpattaya:
No Not seen one, but send an email to them to see if they are going to make one for the WM platform.

Worth a try and nothing to loose.

Just buy a turbocharged vehicle ;)

I have one so no need for the app :p

[Nook Color Accessories] :
I'd love to find a stylus to use with the sketchpad app. Works really well but hard to paint with my finger on this :P anyone know of there is one that works on the NC?

I see the targus one for iPad but I don't know if that works for this or not.
[Nook Color Accessories] ColdH33t:
The iPad is a capacitive screen meaning that it responds to objects that are electrically conductive as change in voltage that the screen can detect the location of. The Nook Color has the same type of screen, so any stylus or pen mod that works for an iPad should work for a Nook Color.

No guarantees of course since this is just off the top of my head but good luck and report back with your findings :)
[Nook Color Accessories] :
I ordered a box wave stylus (as it has good reviews and was on sale for $10). I will report if it works well or not for the sketching app :)
[Nook Color Accessories] duloz:
I've had the boxwave for a few months for my ipad. I am not having much luck with it on the nook, but that could be due to having the anti-glare screen protector on.

Good luck!
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
I tried using my wife's Pogo stylus, but when trying to draw with it, its like the stylus will draw a dashed line in 1-2cm increments -- completely unusable. I ordered the Dagi P005 stylus in hope that its larger flat tip will provide usable results. I'll post up my impressions when it finally comes in.

[Nook Color Accessories] :
Follow up

So the boxwave stylus (I don't have a screen protector) worked pretty well. No real complaints. It isn't as easy as sketching with a pencil but I am overall decently happy with it.

However, I traded with a coworker and gained a Griffin GC16040 Stylus because he doesn't like it for his iPad. That draws pretty nice with the Autodesk app. I can get smooth lines (no hopping) and don't have to press super hard to get a result. I would definitely say that is the winner of the two. He said he got it off buy.com for $13 new with shipping.

I am going to snag a second.
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
Excellent! I'm glad to know I have options. I was going to be pretty disappointed if I couldn't find one that worked.

I think Wacom has some good ones, they focus on drawing pads for artwork and such so I imagine they are pretty good at it.

[Nook Color Accessories] duloz:
Don't think wacom pens will work that way. Pretty sure they use a proprietary technology. Please let me know if I am wrong.
[Nook Color Accessories] MrOtsKrad:
Ive been really curious about this as well.

Im interested in the amount of pressure that must be applied at the width of the mark it makes.

Anyway you can do some line tests and upload?

I wonder what inside makes one stylus better than another, it would be like one finger being better than the other.
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
Just received my Dagi stylus.... works splendidly. They sent both the P005B and a free P101 stylus - both of which work well. No stuttering. No dashed lines. No other nonsense. The Dagi has a nice 12mm transparent tip so you can see exactly where you're writing. I love it.

Also, while I cannot comment on every Wacom stylus, I can say my wife's did not work with the Nook. (As expected). Do they even make a capacitive stylus?

[Nook Color Accessories] blamejake:
Tim - Thanks for the feedback on the Dagi. Do you use a screen protector on your NC?
[Nook Color Accessories] :
I can do pressure tests and get them uploaded this weekend. If I remember right from playing around it wasn't I just adjusted the pencil tips in the app. Which worked fine for me.

As for wacom no capacitive styluses.
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
I currently use one. I tried the Pogo stylus with and without one and only used the Dagi with one.

[Nook Color Accessories] Farnk:
I bought a targus ipad stylus which from what i can tell is the same as the griffin but does not draw consistently at all. Has anyone else tried one? Also in general the touch screen seems to not work very well at the edges of the screen, is this a common problem?
[Nook Color Accessories] techboydino:
The new EEE Slate comes with a Wacom Stylus, the screen is indeed capacitive. Not sure what model or if can be purchased separately.
[Nook Color Accessories] ictguy78:
I appreciate the feedback on the Dagi stylus. Where did you order yours from?
[Nook Color Accessories] :
Thank you for that info. I couldn't find one on their site but now am on the hunt for that stylus to see if works on nook. I think toughbooks use that too which incase we have one at work I can test with.

★found it but it says only suitable for bamboo tablets. Not sure what that applies to. Looks just like Asus one★
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
Got it on eBay from an Australian seller, but it seems to have come straight from Dagi. It showed up in about a week in spite of coming from Taiwan.
[Nook Color Accessories] x-ravin:
I've got a BoxWave and a Dagi on the way. I will be using them for class notes. I'll let you know how they work out for me.
[Nook Color Accessories] hi im simon:
what app are you guys planning to use with the stylus?

i'm looking for an app that takes notes and if possible change what i type into text. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Simon
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
I use my stylus for Sketchbook Mobile. As for note-taking apps, I came across Palm's Grafiti app, but it didn't perform well on my G1. I haven't tried it on my NC yet. It installs like a keyboard and can then be used in any notetaking app.

Sent from my NookColor via the XDA app.
[Nook Color Accessories] :
I use it for Sketchbook also.

For notes I unfortunately have no idea as I never looked for one :(
[Nook Color Accessories] Sunrisemix:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/genial-writing/com.zenpie.genialwriting

This is the best thing for notes that I've found. It doesn't turn your writing into text but instead seems to make a picture of it and the whole thing ends up looking like you actually wrote it.

I'm still looking for something that will do writing to text relatively well.
[Nook Color Accessories] duloz:
I would imagine it works much like the wacom bamboo, which has capacitive touch and a stylus, but the stylus is not capacitive. I have one of the bamboos, so i can verify that this is the case.
[Nook Color Accessories] blackderbyhat:
I think it just has the wacom digitizer in addition to it's touch screen.
[Nook Color Accessories] x-ravin:
BoxWave is a no-go for notes, way too much pressure needed and it seems pretty inconsistent to where it actually writes. I have high hopes for the Dagi, so I hope it gets here soon!
[Nook Color Accessories] tjupille:
I just got the Griffin. It's marginal. Works OK to select, but inconsistent for drawing or trying to write.
[Nook Color Accessories] ictguy78:
I placed my order directly with Dagi. Excellent customer service. I ordered the P005B and they threw in a W201. I'll post back my results when I get them.
[Nook Color Accessories] mslug:
I've tried the targus stylus and it didn't work well at all. Can't consistently draw straight lines or curves not matter how hard i press.

I used the anti-glare one from B&N, but I don't think it affects touch sensitivity. I can barely brush my screen with my finger and it registers touch easily. It looks like I might have to try to get a Dagi
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
Have you guys tried evernote for note taking? I used this on my older tablet PC with resistive screen and it worked pretty well with OCR, sorting notes and allowing good drawings (could straighten lines and make proper curves). If the Dagi stylus works well, I could see getting rid of my notebooks and using evernote.
[Nook Color Accessories] x-ravin:
Ok the Dagi 501 is awesome! Perfect for notes! Doesn't really need any pressure and you can see exactly where it will write. The smaller 101, which they seem to be giving away as a promo, is a no go. Mine at least leaves holes in drawings and writing. Must not have enough capacitance to actuate the screen. Maybe if I have time I'll do a video demo.

Tl;Dr: Dagi 501 is perfect for note taking and drawing on the Nook.
[Nook Color Accessories] gedster314:
You guys ordering direct from Dagi or some where else?
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
I got mine from eBay, but it seemed to have come directly from Dagi in Taiwan. Others have ordered directly from the Dagi's website.
[Nook Color Accessories] hahyun6:
My dagi... doesen't work --_--
[Nook Color Accessories] Farnk:
Would someone who has the Dagi 501 be willing to get "Touch Test" from the market and test the line drawing with the stylus vs using a finger? Most of the comments have been good on this forum, but I'm curious how the raw data looks.
[Nook Color Accessories] Kohr-Ah:
I'd be interested in seeing that too
[Nook Color Accessories] nootered:
I purchased a few off of eBay to use with my iPhone4 and they work great on the NC as well. I received 3 for about $8 with shipping.

They are fairly sturdy and work great for the SketchPad from AD.

Do you remember which ones they were?
[Nook Color Accessories] nootered:
I can't find the exact seller, it is older than 60 days, but they look identical to these:

Also, if you don't mind spend the money, a Pogo Stylus are supposed to be the best.
[Nook Color Accessories] Kohr-Ah:
They have like a hard rubber tip to them? I read on other forums that pogo doesn't work well. Griffin is ok but I gotta press a little hard
[Nook Color Accessories] gedster314:
Ok, you guys convinced me on the Dagi P501. I hate the price so if it doesn't work reasonably well, expect me to b*tch and put a voodoo curse on all you Dagi lovers.:D
[Nook Color Accessories] mediabear:
Thanks. I might look into these. I still have to test this Griffin out a little more.
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
Be sure not to clean the tip, from what i have read the conductive coating can rub off causing it to no longer work.
[Nook Color Accessories] t140568:
I bought a pogo for my wife's iPad and it works perfectly on it. Using it on my NC is a completely different story. Usually, drawing with a Pogo results in VERY choppy/dashed lines instead of the desired straight/smooth lines.

For those wanting TouchTest images, I took a couple screenshots on my NC. I used my Dagi P501 on the right and my left index finger on the left. I tried drawing the lines with the same speed. While it's not perfect, I hope this is what you were looking for. If you need something different, let me know as I've never really used TouchTest before. I used TouchTest v1.4 for this.
[Nook Color Accessories] Farnk:
Thanks! That was exactly what I wanted to see before I bought one.

I got the targus one and using touch test you can clearly see how poorly it works, but from those screenshots it looks like the dagi is working as well as your finger, so I'll probably order one today.
