ok, turn it on without the simcard, go to settings/about phone, what is the baseband and build number?
[Streak 5 General] yarco89:
baseband: GAUSB1A131800

build: 12821

i have other question..

if i install on my Dell Streak, a Custom ROM, the phone is still lock again?
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
You say it asks for an unlock code, does Android boot up so you can see the home screen? if not maybe the phone has a screen lock that stops you loading android until you enter a code. If not it could could be asking for the 4 digit pin number for the sim.
[Streak 5 General] yarco89:
if i "turn on" my Dell with a my Italian Sim, it ask to me a unlock code.. then he is unlocked, but i don't understend who lock it..
[Defy General] kastraverde:
Hello guys,

I currently have my good, old, HTC Hero but I think it's time for a change. Is the Motorola Defy worth buying?

I am interested in the following:

1. is it easy to have custom roms?

2. any chance to have a working Gingerbread ROM?

3. are those 512 Mb of RAM enough for these days?

4. should I consider buying Defy or should I just look for another phone?

What's the best Quadrant score you know for Motorola Defy? My record is 428.

Thanks!
[Defy General] BodenM:
If you can wait, I suggest getting the Motorola ATRIX when it comes out at the end of February.

[Defy General] kastraverde:
I can wait, my Hero is pretty decent at this time. Hummm, but what if the ATRIX will cost 3x or even 4x more than Defy ( I could get a Defy for 240 Euro / 333 AUD )? What's the price that ATRIX is supposed to have at launch?
[Defy General] BodenM:
Supposedly $599 off contract with AT&T, but it won't be outdated for quite a while yet

[Defy General] kastraverde:
Hummm. I hope it will be available worldwide. When I bought my Hero I did so just because my desired phone at that moment, Motorola Droid, was not available in Europe. Right after I bought my Hero, Motorola launched Milestone. I kinda regret not buying the Milestone.

Anyway, my first 4 questions at the first post are still still waiting for some answers, guys. Thanks!
[Defy General] Brumble:
Think the ram would be enough for a while, I've seen people posting quadrant scores 1100-1590, the other plus side is the price and the ruggedness of the phone, I'm considering one myself.
[Defy General] balinger16:
This phone has done nothing but surprise me. i have a samsung epic that is mine personally and the defy is actually owned by my work. This phone easily went head to head with the epic in performance (until the epic got ext 4 hack), and in some cases has actually performed better (ex dungeon defender refused to install on the epic for a long time but have been playing on the defy since it was released).

The only down side is the locked bootloader that makes custom roms (including a GB rom) almost impossible, however there is a great group on here that is willing to help you customize the phone.
[Defy General] Step666:
1. Not really, due to the encrypted bootloader - it is possible but it makes things much more difficult than on other handsets.

2. Almost certainly not until the bootloader can be decrypted in some way or Motorola release it themselves.

3. Yeah, plenty.

4. You're the only person who can answer that.
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
I'm using Mini Info, and my RAM is at a constant 50MB (sometimes less) out of an available 476MB. This phone really knows how to handle stuff. Get it!
[Defy General] GandalfderWeise:
512 mb ram is enough to run every application

Standart Quadrant Score is 800 ~ 1000

I see a Guy with a Sense Rom, JIT and OC to 1200 mhz he get 2000+
[Defy General] crazyVII:
Hell yeah :-)
[Defy General] JamesDax:
Yes. Very nice device.
[Defy General] wilbur-force:
i have an HTC Desire but we got the kids Defys .... must say im very impressed with the defy ... go for it ;)
[Defy General] shorticus:
I got my Defy a couple of weeks ago having spent many hours flashing and re-flashing my Hero with the fantastic roms and kernels built by erasmux, elelinux, radu, Cronos and the others. I have to say I was initially a bit disappointed that I couldn't do the same with my Defy. I did root it and started to tweak it a bit, but to be honest it's such a brilliant phone that there isn't the same imperative as there was with the Hero. For the money you can't get better, and I'm amazed that it's not more widely known. If you read the reviews it's been universally admired, and I've not been disappointed. The screen is outstanding, it's as tough as old boots and it flies, even with Motoblur on it. And if you don't like Motoblur, just remove the widgets and you'll hardly know it's there. It's also a good size - more manageable than some of those 'high-end' phones (Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S etc) and just as capable.

Can't recommend it highly enough.
[Defy General] Brumble:
Give it some time and the development of roms will pick up because its such a great phone.
[Defy General] Step666:
There'll still be the bootloader issue though.

Until Motorola follow through on their promise to find an alternative solution to encrypting the bootloader that's more hacker-friendly, if indeed they ever bother to do so, we'll be stuck with custom ROMs that are based on the same version of Android as the official ROMs.
[Defy General] Brumble:
Yeah but like i said give it time, nothing is going to happen in an instant.
[Defy General] watt9493:
I just got a quadrant score of 897 running at 1ghz. Nothing major. I could get 1500s easy if my gf didn't install so many games O.o anyway, the phone is worth buying and is waterproof as it claims to be :)
[Defy General] kastraverde:
How does Defy handles Flash?
[Defy General] syl0n:
I would say no, if you can wait then wait a bit!

Encrypted boot-loader means you have to hope Motorola release updates. Wait and see of Motorola change their policies about bootloader, they *may* do it after that youtube comment went wild all over the internet and they responded, but they may not either.

I will never ever buy a phone that is locked out this way. Right now all new phones released by Sony Ericcson and Motorola have locked bootloader. So if I were you I'd stick to HTC or Samsung.

I mean look at something like HTC HD2 or HTC Desire, these phones are now pretty old but have multiple gingerbread ROMs, cause they are fully hackable. of course anything that is a Nexus is also hackable and the Galaxy S range from Samsung is good also.

If I needed a phone right now, I'd be looking at the following:

- Google Nexus S

- Samsung Galaxy S

- HTC Desire HD

- HTC Desire Z

They are all known to be hackable and recent models and will perform better than a Hero.
[Defy General] SemperEgo:
Those are nice, but very expensive options you give there...

The only thing comparable in the same price class, but still significantly more expensive is the normal Desire.

(This is the situation in my country).
[Defy General] [UT] X-RAY:
just to add me 2 cents:

+ hardware is great. dead earpieces were a problem but the new production units should be free of that faulty part.

+ software is actually good. needs a bit tweaking tho. rooting or deleting apps is not really required to get max. performance!

- motorola's encrypted bootloader. custom roms are simply not possible without using a signed rom from motorola. there are some workarounds but it isn't the real thing.

- motorola's strange behavior as a USB device. you have to install drivers to be able to charge your phone on a PC's USB port. retarded? yes!

all in all, I like my DEFY. afterall it is a mid-range phone with a friendly price tag and I primarily bought it to see how android works for me. I can recommend it to the average joe. my next phone will be the NEXUS S tho.
[Defy General] slipknotfn:
For me I love my Defy. It is my first Android phone. I had a few Win Mo phones and felt it was time for a change. I looked at the HD7 but felt it was too big. I looked at a few other Android phones too but this one is water resistant. So if you happen to drop it in the sink, or the toilet, or the kid's pool while grilling you aren't out any money. It is shock resistant too. So dropping it won't scramble its eggs. Scratching the screen is a little harder too. It had too many 'life proofing' options to pass up. For me it has the added padding I needed for work. It has a plenty fast processor (that can be overclocked if you are familiar with it as I was from my first modding with my Dash), it has a very nice and bright touch screen, and the memory is alright. Throw in a 16gb micro sd card and you are good. Only draw back is you can't run apps from the sd (without FroYo update or apps2sd mod). All in all phone is wonderful. Glad I got it. Just wish I had 3G anywhere near my hick town. :eek:
[Defy General] syl0n:
Perhaps wait for the Huawei X5 IDEOS then? I was considering the Defy myself but found that its encrypted and I won't touch it with a barge pole because of that. Will not make that mistake again.

I ended up buying a second hand Nexus One for similar price as brand new Defy and am happy with it!
[Defy General] thomorph:
Hello,

I just buy a Defy few minutes ago, it will be my first android phone.

I read lot of thread on different forum and it seems not be a bad phoene for the price, even if he have some problems or bugs.

I have the choise of an HTC Desire (78€) and a defy (48€). Defy have some sometimes advantages on the desire end sometime not.

I will hope i have got make the good choice.

Hope you will find your phone

(sorry for the english I'm french)
[Defy General] kastraverde:
Can Defy handle Flash?
[Defy General] scrannel:
Money was not an issue when I went shopping for a new phone, and looked at about everything, including the Nokia N8. In fact I was about to do a pre-order on the N8 when I came across the Defy. It's screen size to overall size, ruggedness, light weight sold me. Love the phone. Also, in the USA on T-Mo, it's got wifi calling which is a huge plus for me. So far it's been perfect. And if you go on the G2 forums etc., you'll see those phones have plenty of bugs.
[Defy General] pceasar:
Sorry everyone keeps ignoring your question. Full Flash is Froyo 2.2, from what I know of my mothers Defy I just bought her, it's Android 2.1 instead, I just wonder if there are any plans by moto to update to 2.2 or .3
[Defy General] paulle:
i'll never more will buy a motorola device if they stay with the locked bootloaders.

because it's like buying a pc with good hardware but running win2000 and without the possibility to update the (if motorala is generous they give you an update to win xp).

my next phone will be one, which i can update.
[Defy General] SemperEgo:
It does have flash lite, but yeah full support is for the froyo update.
[Defy General] slashvanyoung:
Oh man, I really like this phone! Got it for 40 € from a contract extension a few days ago. And I'm so glad that I didn't get the Desire for 70 €.

Pluses for me:

+ really rugged, I already dropped mine in a bowl of water... on purpose ;)

+ pretty good battery life @ 1500 mAh

+ nice screen with great resolution, touch sensitivity and view at daylight (unlike AMOLED)

+ good balance between screen size and portability

+ good call quality

+ nice design (arguable)

+ plenty of RAM and internal storage

+ decent GPU (I just played a round of Quake 3 @ max. details, fluently - try that with the Adreno 200 of the Desire...)

+ easily rootable (one click)

Minuses:

- the camera could be nicer, but I've seen way worse. well-lit shots turn out quite nice

- the software doesn't allow for 720p recording, even though the hardware does (remaining some hope for a hack)

Not really issues:

- Motoblur is worse than AIDS, BUT it's pretty easy to flash a ROM with no/minimal Blur

- Motorola is slow at updates, but the community has delivered fully-working and customized Froyo ROMs

The locked bootloader is way less of an issue to me than I thought it would be (especially coming from a HTC phone). I got a nicely themed, fully-working "deblured" Froyo on my phone. Overclocked @ 1,2 GHz, I get 1500+ points easily with Quadrant? What more could I want? I can wait for Gingerbread, it's not that substantial of an update IMHO.

For its price, you'll hardly find a better Android handset IMO.
[Defy General] peetr_:
I have this phone for 3 days and i feel it definitely the same way.

Needs some modding, but after that its awesome device.
[Defy General] :
Considered the X5 but it was delayed in my area and due to some other reasons got the Defy at last (with a good discount which put it more bargain that the X5).

But yes the Defy is in the same league of X5 (X5 got 4GB internal memory to Defy's 2GB, and possibly an unlocked bootloader, certainly stock Android experience).
[Defy General] zhubonan:
I think custom roms are a bit limited.

The hardware is completely worth for the price but just be careful about that so-called earpiece problem.
[Defy General] edition-:
Got 2020, first run without OC in the Sense ROM :)
[Defy General] kastraverde:
Wow! 2020 at 800Mhz? What kind of score would you get with some overclocking, then? I just can't believe that score. Does that ROM have Flash or Flash mini?
[Defy General] puventhar:
a nexus one is also a good phone to use
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
I was to buy Desire and I'm glad that I changed my mind when Defy came to my attention. Really happy with the purchase. :)
[Defy General] Agge_:
This is the first (in my opinion) proper judgement I've read of this phone. A lot of people doesn't quite understand what makes this phone stand out, and recommends phones like nexus one, htc desire, LG Optimus X2, SE Arc and others, which without a doubt also are really good phones (most of them faster CPU and better camera etc.). However that is like comparing apples to pears, isn't it? Why people start looking into the Defy would most probably be its weather resistance and secondly its low prize. A third very important factor for me is Defy's small size (but still keeping a big screen) and fourth a good battery life. These things are pretty much unique with Defy, especially its weather resistance. Drop any other phone in a puddle and it's almost guaranteed broken, the same with dropping it on the street.

The small size is perfect for me, I don't have very big hands but even for people with bigger hands, a smaller phone has better grip in the hand and doesn't take up too much space in your pocket. And without having to sacrifice any valuable screen size, its a win-win situation.

When it comes to CPU, obviously it's not the fastest one out there, not even the second fastest one, but I haven't heard anyone who after removing blur (or using another launcher) finds it laggy or slow in any way. And today's super easy ways of over clocking an Android phone, it's definitely not a problem for an average to even heavy user.

If anyone really wants these features I'm talking about, there are actually no other options on today's mobile market.

The camera is basically the only thing I see could be better. Not saying it is bad in any way judging by the photos I've seen. It is good enough for taking the kind of photos most of the people normally take with their mobile phones ie. "fun photos" and things to remember, that will mostly just be seen on the mobile screen anyway. Not artistic photos for print.

The software Defy is shipped with, Android 2.1 is not the newest but as you all know the (early?) sources of froyo is already leaked and cooked to fully functional ROMs. So the nerds can their piece of the cake. And with a growing community it will probably be a lot of new ROMs in the future as well.

The locked boot loader issue is indeed a problem for some of the nerdier (nothing negtive) users, however just as said earlier in the thread, the custom ROMs for Defy so far offers customized themes, over clock/under volting, rooting, deblurred and as much as 2000+ in Quadrant. That is more than what I could dream of from a "locked boot loader", and probably enough "custom" for most of the people. And hopefully Motorola will find a way to make the Devs happier as they've hinted on their facebook page.

This was just some of my thoughts that popped up when reading people's "reviews" of the phone. Especially the apple-pear comparison. If one wants one of Defy's stand-out-features, there's no alternatives :)
[Defy General] slashvanyoung:
Fully agreed! :)
[Defy General] TwistedRat:
Wonderful phone for its price tag

I'm really happy with this phone, with standard Froyo and Motoblur it's not in my taste though. Only thing I feel that would be nice is HDMI so that I can play media from my Plex Mediaserver over 3G on a TV when I'm visiting my friends, but you can't get everything on such a cheap phone. ;)

This is what I did to my Defy and that I can recommend all to do:

Root with SuperOneClick

Install 2nd Init Boot from Android Market

Install CyanogenMod 7 RC1

Install the launcher you prefer, GO Launcher is the default in CyanogenMod 7. (I'm using GO Launcher EX)

Install SetVsel from Android Market and OC to 1000 MHz (mine is stable with VSel1 28@300, VSel2 43@600 & VSel3 68@1000 but what levels that is stable varies from phone to phone)

A good guide to install CyanogenMod 7 can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054447

With mine OC to 1000 MHz I get 2087 in Quadrant, I have tons of appz installed (about 200). Games do flow allot better than on stock Froyo and battery time is allot better as well.

Just a word of caution though regarding flashing, make sure your phone is fully charged! Having to do a McGyver hack to get it working again is not fun or easy...

Good luck Defy owners :D

Hi.

I searched much but it came with no result, it's hard to find phase there, because there is many similar threads.

I search for an application which will allow me to use my phone as wireless controller for games <- it's important because most keyhacks won't work with d3d because of cheating-prevention.

I got hardware keyboard and touch panel so I would use keyboard as keyboard and touch like touchpad.

None of wireless image is needed.

Is there anything like this?
