[Defy General] technome:
The fix-it-yourself thread is here. It's easily done if you are even mildly practical. I have sourced 2 SE K850i earpieces as a hedge against the future, once I'm out of warranty.

However, I am currently in warranty, so I sent an email regarding my Defy to Motorola as soon as my earpiece started acting-up. I tried to demand a replacement on the grounds that they were offering for sale devices that they knew were defective. Unfortunately, they were adamant that a repair was my only option so I sent my phone to their centre. I followed their advice, backing up, removing SIM and SD card, performing factory wipe from within Settings/Location & Security, and only sending the phone.

My phone had a custom ROM with the "android" text boot-loader so it was obviously not stock but there have been no complaints from them and I'm able to track my phone through their system. It's been repaired and is in "final testing". I'm expecting it back early next week.

Given the perceived "openness" of android, it would be a PR disaster for Motorola to void the hardware warranty on the grounds of software modification.
[Defy General] xdaid:
mmm, i have something to say ... i flashed lots of different roms, two weeks ago i went back to China 0.26, still one of the best in terms of performance BUT, i had some trouble with the earpiece.

The first time it happened i thought "ok my earpiece has gone", it was just silent, people could hear me and i could hear nothing. Surprisingly after a reboot the earpiece was working, then silence again the day after... so on for 3 - 4 times.

Then i flashed the 3.4.2-155 and the problem disapperead. No failure, no silence, after 10 days it still works.

So, could it be the problem was related to that specific rom or software i used?

Btw, did you try to flash back to your previous rom?
[Defy General] MisterWB:
I got same issue last week, and my mobile operator change my phone by a new one.

It's a know pb with first MB525 products.

After flashing did-you remove back door and battery to power off/power on you phone ?

I think when we do that, we push on the back of phone and so increase earpiece failure risk.
[Defy General] Step666:
Thanks, I'd seen that thread before but I'm still well inside my warranty and have no urge to risk voiding it any more than I potentially already have.

I have no qualms about having to send the phone back to Motorola, I just want to be sure it'll be fixed when I do is all.

It's a shame that Motorola don't allow third-parties to fix the handsets - I know an engineer that works for one of the UK high street mobile phone retailers and he says that any earpiece issues, they have to send the phones back to Motorola themselves, they can't even source the necessary parts.

If they could fix it, I wouldn't think twice about the ROM as I know he couldn't care less, he'd get it sorted for me.

Also, since the issue is known to be purely hardware and there are plenty of cases of it afflicting handsets that are entirely stock, they would leave themselves in a very shaky legal situation.

Personally, I think I'd prefer to have my current handset repaired instead of replaced as it seems to be a little gem in terms of battery life.

As for the warranty, I doubt I'll have this phone for more than a year or so.

Part of the reason I chose it was the excellent deal on the T-Mobile contract I'm on meaning that if I get the urge to 'upgrade' early, I won't feel bad about buying a second phone out of my own pocket.

No I haven't.

I only discovered the problem at work this afternoon and started this thread as soon as I got home.

I might give it a go over the weekend but part of me can't really be bothered, I might just send it away.

edit:

UK law only gives a customer a limited period after purchasing during which they can demand a replacement, after that a retailer is entitled to try and repair a faulty item if it is reasonable to do so.

Only if repairing the phone is in some way unsuccessful would the customer then be entitled to a replacement.
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Sorry to hear that.

Let us know if Moto honor the warranty. It's very unreasonable to void hardware warranty just because of software modification.
[Defy General] Blasterke:
My defy earpiece failed after 4 weeks. I had the orange 2.2 on the phone. Sent it to solidvision (they do warranty repair for motorola phones in belgium and netherlands). 3 weeks later they sent me a new phone, under warranty. On other sites I read that motorola doenst make a problem about earpiece issue even when you flashed other firmware.
[Defy General] Step666:
So I handed my handset in to be sent away for repair on the 21st of March.

On the 18th of April I contacted CPW's repairs department to query where my handset was at 28 days had elapsed. The guy I spoke to raised a £10 voucher on their systems and put some sort of trace on it for me.

And on the 21st I was contacted by the store I'd handed my phone into to say it was back.

When I say 'it was back', it's not the same handset I sent away - it's a 'clearance' replacement handset. Thankfully my mate who works for CPW checked the handset's history on their systems and it's not a refurb, it was sat in a store for a month without being sold, then recalled to the warehouse so they had one to send to me.

I just hope this 'new' handset has as good a battery life as the one they kept...
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
Ok, I don't know if anyone else experiences this. And am not talking about the sensor that makes the screen blank when you bring the phone closer to your ear.

This usually occurs if the person does not answer the call and it goes to the person's voicemail and until the voicemail recording hangs up. Only then will the screen resume.

Sometimes the screen automatically blanks once you touch "call mobile"

Anybody know what am talking about?
[EVO 4G General] rivlocs83:
Does anybody know of a good facebook friend stream I can use, I like the stock friend stream u get on sense if possible I'd like the same one but I can't since cm7 doesn't offer a friendstream widget.......get at me if you have an idea. THANKS
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Try the one that comes with Launcher Pro. Its just about the same as the one on sense.

[Epic 4G General] :
Ok.... So I have a 32gb Class 4 SD Card. When I went from the stock 16 class 6 card I noticed a speed difference... And well.. It has finally got to me... I am looking at going class 10 but I am wondering if anyone has done an upgrade like this and has any input.

I understand the class number is directly related to the speed in mbps but I guess what I am really curious about is will the epic write/read the card at faster speeds (than 6 [which is stock]) reducing my lag spikes in applications, pictures (taking and viewing), and in gallery 3d(While creating thumbnails [I have noticed this has slowed down the MOST])

For anyone who is interested I am looking at getting this SD card (Please note that I have nothing to do with this seller on amazon and am purely asking for opinions)...

amazon /Patriot-Signature-MicroSDHC-Memory-PSF32GMCSDHC10/dp/B004H8FTCU <----- Insert .com

Again I do know the pure fact that a class 10 offers more speed than class 6 and 4 but is the epic capable of using that speed?

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I don't know if our hardware will push the speeds of a class 10, that's not saying you cant use it, just saying you likely won't get those speeds out of it. Most of the time you can't get that much out of one even if the hardware will support it. I'd be willing to be 60% of cards out there are over classed or numbers are inflated from actual production chips.
[Epic 4G General] crzyrider250:
"Stock card" was a Class 6? My launch day Epic came with a Class 2...:confused:
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
My 3 month old Epic also came with a Class 2. LOL - popping it out with the phone running caused my Phone to reboot (Bonsai).
[Epic 4G General] Omniren:
Yes. Our hardware can. I have done tests transferring files from my computer to the USB card via my phone and it is extremely fast. Camra speed has also dramatically increased if you are taking HD photos. Camcorder speed also increased. But I was going from a stock class 2 16gb that came with the phone to a class 10... So coming from a Class 6, I dunno how much of an increase that would be.

Is destroyer rom just cm7
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aikeru:
The short answer is "yes". Essentially it is CM7. I like how one poster describes it in page 6 as a "UI overhaul ROM". That being said, I'm sure the OP put considerable effort into it.

One thing to consider is that if/when CM7 gets updated, you will need to depend on "Destroyer" to keep up, unless that isn't a concern for you. :)

Just my 0.02c.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It is a heavily themed CM7, maybe some optimized apps, but it's basis is CM7.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriswelsh23:
My X10i no longer asks me to mount SD card when connected via USB, this has meant I can no longer flash new basebands for my phone.

I am running TripNRaver MIUI 2.4 on baseband .55

Can anyone advise me as to how I can get my computer to recognise the phone and the phone to recognise the computer, neither is working.

I use Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 neither of them show the phone when connected. I have tried a different cable and different computers...don't know what else to do?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsabaki:
See posts in this section for more info, xrecovery can manually mount the sd card or you can use a micro sd card adapter and connect your sd card straight to your computer, or possibly the app " multi mount " in the market...

Best regards,

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriswelsh23:
multimount doesn't work and externally mounting the SD card defies the purpose as I need to flash a new baseband and the phone isn't picked up by the USB at all on any computer.

[Nook Color General] BlizzofOZ:
I'm coming from a iPhone jailbroken background... I got the NC because of rooting and a cheap tablet. I understand most of the techie stuff and the potentials.

What I'm trying to grasp is what are advantages/disadvantages of each of the major ROMs out there.

Can someone give a run down and/or direct me to something that might exist with this info?

Much appreciated!
[Nook Color General] ADude:
Advantages of :

- Just root the Nook Color:

* The only option that uses a ROM that was professionally designed for the hardware, so is more stable.

* Hardware Video Acceleration

* No Flash

* Keep B&N built-in reader apps (read for an hour free at B&N, etc.)

* Some people like the B&N launcher

- Nookie Froyo Android 2.2

* Flash

* A little more stable and smoother than CM7 or Honeycomb

* Android 2.2 enhancements

- CM7 Android 2.3

* Hardware Video Acceleration breaks audio sync (being worked on)

* Flash

* Bluetooth (very short range - about as far as you can reach - since no antenna)

* Android 2.3 enhancements

- Honeycomb Android 3.0

* Designed specific for Tablets

* Does not require hardware buttons, so softkeys unnecessary

* Final source code not yet here - should be literally any minute

* No Flash or Video Acceleration until a ROM is made with Final source code

* Some apps do not yet have a version that supports Android 3.0

- Widely Rumored B&N Android 2.2 Update within the next 2 weeks:

* Flash

* B&N App Market

* Hardware Video Acceleration

* B&N reader apps

* B&N launcher

- Other possibilities:

* Run CM7, Froyo or Honeycomb from your uSD card (see threads in NC Development Forum), which leaves your Nook stock.
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
Wait, CM7 does support Flash? So... hard to keep up.... Great rundown, ADude.
[Nook Color General] pmilford:
HI,

Just to get you started:

There are several different branches of Android ROMs for the Nook Color:

Barns and Noble current releases are based on Android 2.1, 'Eclair'

There are rooted versions of the 1.01 and 1.1 B&N releases. Have the advantage

the NC versions of the Nook eBook software working, rather than the Android

market version of Nook eBook software. There are rumors of an official Android 2.2,

Froyo release coming.

There are versions of Android 2.2, 'Froyo' that run from either an external SDcard

or on the internal flash Memory 'emmc'. See for example Nookie Froyo 6.8 in the

developer section.

Android 2.3 'Gingerbread'. This is the version of Android that is shipping on some

newer phones. A group of developers release versions of Android for

phones and other devices called 'CyanogenMOD', the Gingerbread version of this

is called 'CyanogenMOD7', on some devices it is 'almost done', release candidate 2

is available. One the Nook Color, there have been many nightly builds, but no

release candidate. It is quite stable though and runs well. One known problem

at the time of this writing (3/18) is a problem with slow video playback, sounds like

it is close to being solved. If you want to use NC for Youtube etc. CM7 is not the

best choice yet.

There are several builds based on the CM7 builds, including Phiremod 5.1 and also

a SDcard runnable version.

Android 3.0 "Honeycomb", there are some very early builds of Honeycomb available

on the NC. Honeycomb is designed for tablets, should be interesting, sounds like

this version is very preliminary and may not be suitable for everyday use. I tried

it only briefly, so can't comment. I expect when there is a "CM8" I will switch to

it!

I enjoy playing with my NC and reading eBooks. I pretty much skipped using the

stock ROMs and went straight to Froyo based SDcard install first, I used this for a

while, then tried early HoneyComb build then moved to internal emmc Froyo 6.6/6.8,

tried Phiremod, which I liked, but decided that CyanogenMOD was the best choice

for me. I update from nightly builds every few days or when there have been

important changes.

If you are just looking for a stable ROM to use to do just a little more than

you can with stock, perhaps a rooted stock 1.1 is a good choice.

If you want to spend more time playing, perhaps start with a SDcard version(s) of

several of the ROMs to get used to flashing/booting etc. Good to have plenty of

uSD cards available to do this! Then switch to whatever has the stability or

features that you enjoy.

I haven't used the newest Phiremod, but I expect it would also be an excellent

choice, it is based off recent CM7 builds.

Hope this helps!

- Widely Rumored B&N Android 2.2 Update within the next 2 weeks:

* Flash

* B&N App Market

* Hardware Video Acceleration

* B&N reader apps

* B&N launcher

Just to update what I have seen over in the B&N forums is that hopefully in the next two weeks, B&N are going to launch their marketplace with like 25 developers. which is going to add flash support, and then it has been floated around that the froyo update won't hit till June. whether or not this is accurate. I am not sure. therefore this might color your decision to stay stock or jump to a custom.

I agree with everyone that starting with a uSD ROM is the way to go in the beginning.

dan
[Nook Color General] BlizzofOZ:
Thanks everyone for the awesome info! Well appreciated...

IF B&N comes out with Android 2.2 update, what does that mean to these rooted ROMS? Most likely people will go back to stock and those are left are the ones who like to "tinker"?

I've been noting things that need to be done once you root... such as installing the device drivers for ADB.

Do the ROMs already have this stuff... installed/done?

I see a Theme/wallpaper section... to do this, does this require any special ROM? Or can you do that the plain jane 1.1 root?
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
Most people who have gone to 2.2, 2.3, or 3.0 will most likely NOT return to unrooted because it will still offer more, such as full market support and the LOOk of a true tablet. The only main reason to unroot/return to stock 2.2 would be if you like the interface more.

Depending on what you're doing, you don't need to do anything special after installing a custom rom. ADB is a way of using your computer to hook upto your nook and gain full access (to allow modifying files, adding files, etc.) and is not needed except for fixes and advanced users. The NOOK itself is setup to accept ADB, but you'd need to set up your computer for it, too. As for anything else that needs to be done (maybe you're referring to kernals, fixes, and other stuff like that) they are not so much needed as helpful and can usually be done easily, with some ROM's coming pre-installed (for example CM7 Nightly's comes with a Kernal that is overclocked to 925)

Not really sure what you mean by themes and wallpapers. Even unrooted NOOK can use wall papers. If you mean launchers and such (which are required for themes off the market place, which is what I think you're talking about) then I THINK any rooted NOOK can use them (even stock rooted). If you're talking about more advanced themes, they can be ROM specific, but not always.

[Defy General] zakoo2:
Hey guys, I have a MotoDefy with the original 'blurred' 2.1-update1 android on it (rooted, and I use launcherpro, but I don't think either one matters), and I just can't set my facebook account on it. If I try to add an account, and click on facebook, nothing happens. The facebook widget works, so I really have no idea what's going on. Help, please, any ideas?
[Defy General] daniel_loft:
Yeah, mine did the same. First time I clicked Facebook it took me to a Facebook page, I logged in, the app works but the Facebook account doesn't work. From the second attempt on, nothing happens when I try to add a Facebook account. I think you have the same greek Defy that you can find in Romania too and, from what I know, these are not actually "blurred", they lack the motoblur account functionality.

Sorry...
[Defy General] zakoo2:
i definitely have a blurred firmware, all other blur functions work, and i see a process in the task manager called 'motoblur services'. you sure yours is 'deblurred'? btw i'm from hungary so it's possible that we have the very same firmware, and this thing with the facebook account is a bug. looking forward to the 2.2 update, hope they fix this :)
[Defy General] obscurant1st:
this happens for me also. I have an indian version of defy. I think this problem is there for all android 2.1 facebook syncing. Lets wait till 2.2 comes.

And btw indian version doesnt have blur i guess!
[Defy General] zakoo2:
but if every defy with 2.1 on it, why didn't i find anybody complaining about it? and how do you know yours is not blurred?
[Defy General] sam-segers:
There is an app T-mobile social buzz that can synchronise facebook and other contacts. First you have to download market enabler and fake your on t-mobile.
[Defy General] mihik:
May be you can try to remove the facebook app and install it from the market.

What is your firmware version?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
I can't uninstall the facebook app, looks like it's built into the software. (and I checked in the market, it's up to date, so i doubt that it's the source of the whole thing). My software version is 2.34.1, should I update? Could that solve my problem?
[Defy General] mihik:
Fist of all 2.34.1 is not a blurred fw, there some blur services but you can not create blur account and you can not syncronize Facebook with contacts.

Blur missing from all CEE versions.

But Facebook app should work. You can remove it with Titanium Backup, or you can try to upgrade your fw to 2.51.1.
