It was meant to fix GPS problems for the first batch of Galaxy S devices in which the GPS was "utterly broken" and "non-functioning".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justanotherguyfolks:
Perhaps it is used for finding the device when lost?

Just an educated guess really, but i'm guessing it's one of the apps used when you ping your phone remotely. Perhaps it's always running in the background and can't be turned off for security purposes? Hence the term "Angry" GPS. Couldn't say for sure though. Again, just an educated guess. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] <html>:
I tried all the tools in this forum for making a custom rom for my ZT-180 (v1) tablet. The device does not like my system.img, even if I just unpack and pack it again without modifying anything inside!

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I have complied my own unyaffs and also used a pre-combiled one. All with the same result, the device just hangs when it tries to boot.

This issue is driving me nut. I can pay $100 for anyone who can help me out.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yulittle:
Hello,

I'm new to this as my post counter suggest. I just bought a used Telus HTC Desire, I'm new to using Android device as well. I was wondering if I need to root the Desire to obtain 3G from Rogers. I tried using the APN from this thread but it still never showed up on the top notification bar. I'm not entirely sure what to do.

Thank you very much for reading this, I hope to have a reply soon.

Sincerely,

I have a rooted Evo running CM7 and i wanted to know if anyone had the HTC Evo Keyboard with the nav keys? Also i have the swype.apk from OTA 3.70 but it crashes does anyone know how to fix that? I tried using the swype keyboard from the latest beta but it does not work whenever i swype i hear that stupid tone but no text appears (i even tried to swype "as") but if i type "a" "s" then it works bt swyping does not. Does anyone else have that issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbazaldua:
I don't know about AOSP ROMs, but I know that in most Sense ROMs you can download the stock keyboard with the navigation arrows. My spouse and I both run myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (RLS5). However, she wanted the stock keyboard and I downloaded it from myn's thread. Check to see if the thread for your ROM has this optional download.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianoplayer:
I go to China quite often and have a GSM phone for use there (not willing to go into poverty so I can use my incredible there :p). Simply put it sucks. What would you recommend I get for use there to replace the one I currently have? I don't want anything too expensive. Based on my experience with my incredible, and what I've heard from my friend who has a D2, I really want something HTC and not Moto but anything else could be fine if it's outstanding. What would you recommend? What have you tried and what have you hated?

From the research I've done, I might consider:

HD2

Desire GSM

N1

G2 (Desire Z)

Not gonna consider:

Moto Phones

Blackberries (eew)
[Defy General] hah2110:
Anyone come from other android devices and have opinions on performance, usability, signal, battery life, etc? I'm considering jumping ship from a nexus s. Primarily for the size and battery life, if it is as good as I hear.

Anyone comment on pros/cons vs other android devices you have owned?
[Defy General] hah2110:
Bump.........
[Defy General] phynix5800:
Well, I just had 1 smartphone before the Defy, which was a Samsung Galaxy Spica - an Android device as well. It was a piece of ****, often crashing multiple times a day at random, problems with WiFi switching (sometimes causing a system crash) and mobile connectivity (no INet axx occasionally) as well as numerous other issues. These occured using the original firmware. Because of the instability it was basically unusable.

I'm really happy I switched to the Defy, because its a reliable phone, fast and you can actually play some games on it - another thing that was barely possible on the Spica.
[Defy General] sgtmedeiros:
Ill totally trade my defy for your nexus s xD
[Defy General] hah2110:
Doesnt help me until you tell me why
[Defy General] sgtmedeiros:
Defy has incredible battery life, sound, touch accuracy. Invincible exterior and nice contour design.

Good rom support and great signal.
[Defy General] iamnik:
Motorola has a locked bootloader. About the only thing bad about this phone.

Compared to the nexus S, slower processor and inferior graphics. I got it because it was incredibly cheap for the performance.
[Defy General] Step666:
That seems a pretty fair summary.

Though I'd add that whilst the CPU/GPU does sit beneath the Nexus S's performance-wise, it's certainly not an under-powered handset.

The battery is really impressive - I get anywhere between 2 and 4 days, depending on how heavily I use it.
[Defy General] pjcons:
I came from an XT701 moto phone. The specs much lower on that phone and u notice the improved performance with the DEFY. one thing the XT701 was better was camera... very nice xenon!

But the DEFY is much better... much more internal memory, much faster, screen doesn't scratch, have dropped it numerous times... not a single scratch, I scratched up my old phone in 6 months.

I've also done the water testing at the pub and it wasfully submerged in a jug of water... and survived, many in the crowd VERY IMPRESSED! :)
[Defy General] hah2110:
Anyone have any lag?
[Defy General] sgtmedeiros:
Never lol
[Defy General] iamnik:
The Motoblur launcher seems a little laggy. Switched to GoLauncher EX, and it's smooth as. LauncherPro is even smoother, but I prefer Go.

I literally JUST rooted and overclocked it to 1GHz. Pretty easy procedure and runs smoother. It's a really good phone, especially for the price point. Add in the fact that its waterproof and pretty much indestructible makes it awesome.
[Defy General] coxykidd:
I am looking at getting this phone on my next contract upgrade, its either the defy or htc desire can anyone point me in the right direction ?
[Defy General] hah2110:
when overclocking, do you lose any battery life? Don't you lose the blur widgets on another launcher? What do the variety of roms out there provide?
[Defy General] iamnik:
I'm still on the standard ROM (2.1), just rooted with SuperOneClick, and using SetVsel to overclock. It's scaleable, and I've noticed better battery life when the phone is on standby (SetVsel settings are force 300MHz when screen off), but it does seem to drain more when used (vsel at 1.1GHz I have as the same as it was at stock 800MHz). Haven't noticed any instability.

I havn't played around with any ROMs yet, I just don't want to waste any more time :p

This is a good phone, but I'd go for the desire. The reason I got this is because I bought it sim-free, and the desire was about £350, whilst this was £270.
[Defy General] spruceyb:
My first Android phone was the G1, then followed by Moto Cliq, HTC Hero, Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro and most recently Samsung Galaxy S.

I'm really glad I switched from the Samsung Galaxy S, even though the processor + graphics aren't as good I feel the Defy still performs much better. Maybe that's because the Defy has more RAM?

I've experienced very little lag, during times when you'd expect very heavy multi-tasking.

The downside is the locked bootloader and lack of firmware updates that Moto displays.

As for battery life, I've had decent results. Most older handsets I used to worry about switching down to 2G to extend the battery life.

Using Setvsel I usually have it clocked at 600mhz and undervolted and everything still runs really smooth.
[Defy General] spruceyb:
They're both nice and in performance I think they're roughly equal except the Defy graphics are better and has better battery life.

The Desire will serve you better for Custom ROMs and firmware updates if that's you're main priority. Don't expect the Defy to get anything past FroYo.

As it looks like you're on T-mobile, I'd aim to go through retentions when it comes to upgrade time and back yourself a good deal.
[Defy General] Step666:
Bearing in mind that you're posting in the Motorola Defy section, you're probably not going to get particularly unbiased advice...

Maybe, if it were true.

Both have 512MB of RAM.
[Defy General] coxykidd:
I posted here so i know what people who actually have the phonr think, not just people that judge it by its specs.
[Defy General] Phut:
I haven't really reached a limit for the defy's utility yet at 1.1GHz oc, but what I can say for certain is that the LCD's is pretty midrange and it seems that screen on really chews down the battery life as well.

I've seen worse screens (cheaper nokia phones) and better screens (AMOLED, apple iphone and ipod touch screens). It's not really a problem unless you have two or three people trying to see what's going on though.
[Defy General] willbeh:
Wanted nexus s initially but settle on defy for the price.coming from windows 6, quite impress with defy. Smooth, quite fast. Love the tough phone. Just video my son at the pool and under water.
[Defy General] Peglezn:
I was choosing between this two phones aswell

I decided for defy because of its size and toughness... (performance wise they are preety much the same, or defy is even better - specially when overclocked)

I dont regret the decision, and I would choose the same, if I had to choose again

the only minus for the defy is the locked bootloader, nothing else. its a great phone
[Defy General] spruceyb:
I have 475mb of useable RAM on the Defy. 348mb was the most ever available on SGS.

There's something about the Samsung Galaxy S and Nexus S that results in much less RAM being available.

Based on the Teardown from here:

http://news.danawa.com/News_List_View.php?nModeC=4&nSeq=1742568

It does have a total of 512 MB of "RAM", just that 384 MB is DDR RAM, and the last 128 MB is OneNAND memory. Plus an extra 512 MB of non-storage NAND.
[Defy General] :
some phones report the ram used by radio and 3d graphics also as "available", some report only the truly really utterly usable ram as "available".

the defy is one neat phone, small size relatively to its screen size, the toughness is a plus while not screaming out loud like most other toughness phones.

the locked bootloader and lack of 720p are the major turnaways.
[Defy General] coxykidd:
What does locked bootloader mean ?
[Defy General] spruceyb:

[Defy General] shad0wboss:
Nexus s with bad battery life? try undervolting lol...

I love my defy although it had been giving me some problems recently such as hearing speaker problem and multi touch problem due to a software bug but it's at repair centre and will be repaired soon.

If you have money, i would totally advice you to buy a Samsung galaxy s instead of defy, Samsung galaxy s is the only phone i consider as and upgrade to defy....not even desire HD can do this...

Defy > HTC desire (htc 1ghz processor is no good because GPU just sucks)

Defy = HTC desire HD (defy on 2.2 and deblur rom)

Defy < Samsung galaxy s > Nexus s (battery life and stuff like that)

DEFY > Samsung galaxy s or HTC or NEXUS S (when compared by price and battery life + stability)
