[Defy General] naruttebayo:
Hi, I'm a noob to undervolting here (just rooted and flashed Vanilla Froyo to my Defy a week ago, and I'm hoping to squeeze out as much battery life as I can); just some quick questions about undervolting that I haven't found answers to in other threads:

1) What exactly is "vsel" and how does it relate to the actual battery voltage? For example, even though I've changed the maximum voltage in setvsel and Milestone Overclock (down to about 45 vsel at 800 Mhz so far, haven't tried lower), the battery voltage reported by Spare Parts is still reading between 3800 mV and 4000 mV. Does this mean that setvsel/milestone aren't working or does a ~30% decrease in vsel *not* equal a 30% decrease in battery voltage?

2) If anyone else has undervolted their Defy, can they testify as to what kind of battery life improvements they've gotten? I've heard that custom ROMs are already fairly undervolted
[Defy General] naenee:
If laptops are anything to go by.. laptops can be undervolted to make them run less hot, thereby extending their life. Though battery life is increased too, this increase is virtually negligible.

Since the limits of undervolting (and over/underclocking), are done on a per-cpu/gpu basis for computers, because they are not all exactly the same and may not work with the same non-default values, I think it's a bad idea to assume that phones will run without problems when using values only tested by people with a phone that is not yours.

If you want to undervolt/over- or underclock, test your device, find out the lowest/highest values and then inrease or decrease that value, to have a safety margin, do not copy someone elses' settings.
[Defy General] shad0wboss:
A common issue with undervolting on 2.1 (at least with me on 2.1) is that if the minimum clock speed is below 300 mhz, it takes around 3-5 sec to actually respond to incomming call on your defy when defy is on stand-by mode.
[Defy General] unrafa:
Undervolting + Ondemand made my battery work at 23ºC vs +29ºC

I did not wrote down numbers, but battery life increased AT LEAST in 8 hours.

My values

vsel 1; 18 -300

vsel 2; 33 - 600

vsel 3; 43 - 800

(-15 points each value VS factory values)

Removing bloatware, root apps, autostart at boot apps, widgets (they autostart too) etc. or freezing them with "antitek app manager"

Decreased phone memory ussage from 140Mib to 80Mib; Also decreased cpu ussage from 10%-15% average idle to just 1%-5%

Apps / Widgets / Many System preinstalled apps, are autoloaded when phone is turned on, and they run 24/7. waste of resources and app auto killers just aren't good enough, coz apps reload themselves, you have to remove them or freeze them.

fortunely modders are realeasing their custom roms with most of this optimizations

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] orellius:
Hello!

I have scoured the internets as much as I can but am having some issues finding a way to update my phone. It was given to me free from a friend.

HTC Magic

Android 2.1

32A

Radio 6.35.x

Rogers Canada

I have unlocked it and have a Bell Canada sim card. I do not have any data plan, as I only use it on WiFi for any data.

I wish to update to the official 2.2 Android, basically just the update Rogers customers would have received back in December when it went live with over-the-air. I tried to hit "check for updates" and got nothing, so I assume it is because I am not on Rogers, and Bell doesnt know my device?

So I Googled hard but found no info on doing a manual/forced update. Started looking around on this forum and found a bunch of useful info, but no solid answer.

Can I do a manual update that Rogers clients would receive? I wish to keep it stock with the HTC Sense like it has now.

If not, what do you suggest? I have looked at the Wiki for the device, looked into rooting, etc. I have all the links and am ready to go about it...

I found this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=659403, and see the ROM's listed. But which one am I looking for?

05) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 2.17.631.2 Rogers Canada WWE

28) [xda-ftp] [4shared] 3.05.631.7 Rogers Canada WWE

I just don't know the meaning of WWE, or the version numbers.

Thanks much!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
If you don't have a data enabled SIM, you can't do this. Well you can, but you'll never be able to sign into your Google Account and hence never be able to use your phone. Can you get a data SIM from a friend or get a one day data pass from Bell?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] orellius:
But I have wifi, I can log into my Google account, download, apps, etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
No, the first login screen you get to will not allow you to enable wifi so you have to login over your carrier's data.

So, if you do a factory reset or flash a new ROM, the first screen you'll get to will be the activation screen mentioned above. This is true for any stock ROM's for the myTouch/Magic. Most custom ROM's (about every one I've seen) will allow you to enable wifi at that screen or will let you skip the activation to get to the home screen, where you can enable wifi and then sign in.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] orellius:
I see what you are saying, maybe I'll see if one of the IT guys here can lend me their Rogers SIM card for a day. Do you think, if I was on Rogers, I could get the update fast, or do I need to wait potentially days or weeks for it to let me update. Could I hit "check for updates" and it will find it? I understand you probably don't know this, I'm just putting out feelers to where to go next.

If I really have to I will get data package for a month.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] orellius:
Nevermind I guess, I just tried a Rogers card and we could not get an update. After talking to IT and digging around, we found that Rogers has not even released 2.2, it only came out for Vodafone UK. I can't find any info that says it did come out for Rogers, so I assume it did not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You could always just root.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Sleeepy2:
Rogers does not have OTA (over the air) updates.

You need to go the the HTC website and download the RUU updated exe.

Oh and Rogers doesn't have an official 2.2 they only got the 2.1, so I am not sure what your trying to update to.

[HD2 General] mally2:
GUYS I need to know if its possible to replace the TMOUS HD2's LCD only as its cracked .. the digitizer is perfect:D

mally
[HD2 General] datas0ft:
YES, it possible. I did it on my phone and firend bought one broken too on which i replaced lcd (not digitizer).

You have two ways. First is easy way.

Buy complected digitizer with lcd and you have done on hour.

Second way is buy only lcd and replace it. But there you must very very gently remove digitizer at lcd. This is littlebit tricky. You must use oven. Place oven to 50 °C and place your, attached digitizer and lcd, to oven. 10 minutes is enought. Now you can more easly detach old lcd at digitizer. Be very very careful and gently. You can scratch paint on digitizer on lcd side and also lcd itself. Attaching lcd to digitizer are used sticker adeshive tape. You need buy it too. I dont want advertize one ebay seller but you can use same dealer if you want. I had with that dealer many actions and all time all is correct. And he have most items OEM. Ebay seller name is kr-net.

I recommend first way if you do it first time or not opened any phone before.

Bestest way is give your phone to repair.
[HD2 General] mally2:
Thanks a lot for your inputs mate, the phone's DIGITIZER is perfect , the LCD is cracked, should i still be gentle , since LCD is already broke,,,,
[HD2 General] datas0ft:
As i writed before:

Your digitizer is painted on bottom side on edges. If you scratch this paint you get scratched look later.

If you go change it itself, i anyway reccomend buy mounted lcd with digitizer. This work not easy deal.

And more. I readed over forum that someone have later digitizer sensity problems with no compatibility different lcd and digitizer. I cant confirm it. This what i changed works perfectly.

One hint is that HD2 and HD2 T-mobile have different lcd and digitizers. HD2 have soldered version and T-mobile not. You can see it on this ebay seller page, if you get one or another item detail look on seller shop page.
[HD2 General] addicus:
You can always contact www.ppctechs.com to fix it also.
[HD2 General] mally2:
Thanks a lot for your inputs guys,

By the way its not MY HD2 thats damaged, its a friend of mine, so this was all very helpul,

It's pretty limited, but there is a filebrowser.

First dial ##634# to enter the diagnosismenu on your Samsung. In the diagnosis menu enter 5**6244*3 and choose the option "shortcuts". That opens the filebrowser. You can press "options" and check option "show all files". You will be in the "windows" folder. Press "up" to go to the root. The is no copy/paste/launch, just browsing.

This is the only filebrowser that works for now. I'm working on something better, but it might take a while. Bear with me...

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baldmartyr:
Current Situation:

When I say bricked, I mean BRICKED in all caps. The phone is completely unresponsive. If I try to turn it on – no good. If I try to put it in bootloader mode – no response. If I hold the volume button down and depress the power – no menu displays. I get no ‘M’. I get nothing. Except…

If I fire up RSD Lite 4.9 and plug in the phone, it does recognize something. Under model it displays “S Flash OMAP3630”. If I load up an sbf file (I’ve been following Higgsy’s incomparable “How To” guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853674 and using the generic UK sbf file he recommends) and depress “Start” within RSD Lite, the phone will display “SW Update In progress…” in white blocky text. RSD Lite says it’s executing and, after several minutes will display a Status of “Finished” and a Result of “PASS”. On the phone, the screen goes dark but a white notification light displays. While the phone is still plugged in, I can depress the power button on and off and RSD Lite will recognize it’s there (if it’s on) or not recognize the phone is there (if the power is toggled off).

Note that the battery is fully charged.

I’ll give you a little background info:

Background:

I purchased Defy phones for my wife and me for Christmas. Her’s is working fine, is unrooted, and has only a few apps beyond stock (Angry Birds of course!). But of course I had to play with mine. All went well until I (stupidly) installed the latest T-Mobile update which removed my root access. This was not acceptable to me as I had overclocked my phone for performance purposes. I had a really hard time getting root access back until I at last found a version of SuperOneClick that did the trick.

By this time I had reset the phone back to factory settings. So I thought “Well, I might as well flash some cool ROM”, so I flashed a Gingerbread themed Froyo cooked up for the Defy. Unfortunately, it didn’t work (for whatever reason). I was stuck at the dreaded ‘M’.

Next I started following Higgsy’s guide (as mentioned above) but I guess I screwed something up because now the phone is totally unresponsive except as detailed above.

So where do I go from here? Some possibilities:

Flash T-Mobile 2.2 test sbf?

Link?

Flash Original SBF?

Link?

I’ve still got my wife’s phone which is working perfectly fine. Is there a way to copy files from her phone to my dead phone and get some life?

Do you guys have some other steps you’d recommend?

I’d really like to get my phone working again and would much appreciate the help. Many thanks in advance.

(Note that I’m a Noob so please don’t assume I know anything!)

(Yet another note: I'm in the USA.)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadStu:
Which .sbf's and in which order did you install them?

The same happened to me after I'd flashed the 3.4.2 sbf, then tried to downgrade back to 2.34. it went blank and I had to reflash 3.4.2 again.

If you've flashed 2.51 or 3.42 then you can't downgrade from them. So the fix would be to flash the same rom again.

Motorola Defy bricked

hi

i have a question about my defy. The white led is still shining but there is no connection to the pc. I connected via USB-cable.:confused:

pls HELP!!!!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simeoncheung:
I have a similar issue as the OP..

I originally rooted the phone using simpleoneclick... then I overclocked it using setvsel...

it was running fine for an hour or so, and then I ran quadrant (several times over the course of the hour) and the final time, it rebooted during the middle of a test, and then it would just keep looping the bootup moto logo and "android" screens.

at that point I could still enter the bootloader and recovery screens. I tried wiping data and resetting to factory defaults with no avail.

Finally I followed a thread on flashing a new rom to the phone with RDSLite and the uk rom. After getting it to finish flashing and it showing a 'Finished' and 'PASS' status as the OP mentioned, te phone now no longer responds. Power button does not trigger the screen to go on, regardless of if I try to press the volume buttons with it or not.

The only response I get from it is when it is connected to the computer, the white led turns on, and the computer (and rdslite) recognizes it. I can still flash it with rdslite and the screen turns on displaying the SW update In progress message...

but that's about all I can get it to do.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated

edit: I should also mention that after the uk 2.21 rom I've also tried the china 2.2.1 roms.... Should I also try flashing the 2.51 uk version as well?

If your phone is detected by RSD Lite, then you have an easy fix in just flashing a new sbf. If it's not detected and you can't charge your battery, you're going to have to use the MacGyver method.

white led solution

hope for defy with only white led light turning on. This assumes that you have already have mototola drivers and RSD lite installed.

Background : I only had defy one day when I decided to flash it with miui. I bricked on the first time with bootloops. Did research and got drivers and rsd lite. managed to find three stock t mobile roms and flashed to stock Tom, then flashed miui, since then I've been switching between miui and cm7.

Problem : After a few months of use, I decided to flash stock rom to see how the battery life would be like. Bricked it the first time with bootloops. I thought I had flashed it with wrong rom because the first time I flashed back to original rom I did not delete the roms that I thought were the original roms. So after first failure I tried to flashed with the other roms I had. after the third rom it would not go into bootloader, only white led would turn on. Tried macguiver, did not work so save your usb cable, don't mess with it ain't gonna work.

Two part solution: I realized that when I plugged phone with usb I would hear the usb tone on win 7. When to device manager and saw the other device or something like that was appearing and disappearing when I would connect and disconnect phone. I clicked it and it said Motorola device or something like that, it was sensing my defy! defy drivers were wipe out due to bad flash. I had mototola drivers so I clicked on update and searched for mototola drivers on hard drive. I had rsd lite on and it recognized the defy after driver update, even though the bootloader screen was not on and just the white led was on.

decided to flash rom that have me bootloop and it flashed it but still gave me a bootloop., by the way, the update part of bootloader showed up after a while.

Second part of solution: googled problem and found out that the phone has a stock recovery. its the robot with the triangle exclamation mark. when you get to it you have to touch the extreme lower right hand corner of the screen to get to where you can wipe data and cache. when you start wiping data / cache you have to press on ok?? on lower left hand of the screen repeatedly until wipe is complete. then reboot and tada it boots up to stock tmo USA defy.

this is the stock rom I used : JORDN_U3_6.36.0

F Y I

if you ever try to flash a rom and it just bootloops, just go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache and you should be able to boot into android.

Hi All,

As I can see many confusions and as stranger9 said its because you flashed incorrect SBFs!! In case of sixiweb (code group XX(XX=32/33/39/40 etc.) checksums.) yes that is the case. So get the correct SBF. And for the rest did you do this after or before flashing SBF:

1.) Vol Down + power button (Stock recovery menu).

2.) Wipe data and cache.

Do this either before you do a SBF flash or right after it(before booting). Let me know the results.
