i am looking for the motorola soundpilot s705 actually. will match nicely with the defy

Sanosizo,

How did you found out people who bought it from Clove suffer from the speaker problem? mind sharing?

I am not a lucky guy but not so bad luck either, good luck to both of our Defy I guess.


Yesterday my speaker sounded a little weird, maybe it was too loud so I turn the volume down and so far it is still fine after a few time testing it. Hope nothing happens. So far have not been using the audio jack, used once only, having too much fun learning the android OS and playing Angry Birds !

I am also pondering the idea of a bluetooth headphone, but with so much wireless wave around us and close to the ears I am not sure if it is a good idea for the long run, maybe don't use it too often.

But then again, if using the audio jack do create this problem a bluetooth headset is a great idea, and we can avoid the hassle of closing and opening the plastic flap all the time.

If the problem do arise and Motorola Malaysia does cover the repair for Defy bought outside of Malaysia it will be great news. If not I will just send back to Clove and claim warranty.

where selling ? how much is this gonna cost ?

currently the support manager in motorola support forum is getting some information from all defy owners around the world and there are a few who bought from clove uk. im not sure if its a hardware or software issues because there are cases that the audio jack has never been used before but still experienced the speaker issue. im waiting for motorola to come out with an official statement about this.

Quite worrying considering we do not know whether our phones are plagued by this problem or not and any day it could happen or it may not.

I browsed through the forum again and yes I saw one guy who bought from Clove got the issue.

Well I should not have brought this matter up, now we all have to worry.

Cant wait to get malaysia sbf, I'm not a big fan of motoblur.

hmmm heard news that Maxis will launch Desire Z and a few android models... duno whether got this or not...
too bad i'm in the middle of the contract... cannot extend if not sure i'll consider this with Desire Z...
my wildfire is doing a good job but a lot of games or apps it does not support...

What is SBF?

desire z?

jiangchen: sbf is the firmware flash file that consist of all the software required for the phone to run. if your phone is not working or cant be turn on, by reinstalling back this file will revive back the phone as long as there is no issue with phone hardware. its like reformatting and reinstalling your windows machine.

To those want to buy phone wait till this friday , got good news from maxis !

Sanosizo,

Thanks for the explanation. Heard you mention flashing your Defy before last time you brick it. Where do you acquire the SBF file anyway?

I think this might interest you if something does happen to our Defy,

It is the US version phone but I hope it is software issue.

got it from here - http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy

now need to wait for malaysia and singapore (probably asia pacific) version.

Seems weird Malaysia's Defy no Motoblur. I have tried launcher pro but the plus version have to pay. Have to set up a Paypal account and get my house's wifi running first.

Thanks for the link Sanosizo.

the free version is good enough actually. or u can try the adw launcher as well, see which one suits you the most.

Sanosizo,

Is rooting then deleting some Motorola bloat ware considered voiding the warranty?

yes it will void the warranty. but u cannot remove motoblur stuff because they are interconnected to each other, it might actually break some important apps in the phone.

defy is equipped with 2gb of internal storage so there is no need to remove any motoblur stuff, and it is quite snappy as well. but without motoblur (if we can flash our phone to AP sbf) we can free more memory thus increase the responsiveness of the phone when it is running many apps in the background.

so far, even without root u can do a lot of things with it. any other reason to root other than removing bloated apps?

Is your phone still considered under warranty then?

Actually I want to terminate some service that runs in the background like news, weather, feed and all that. I have close their app but they seem to be running in the background each time I restart my phone.

And 3G and so on will kinda immediately download some data if I enable them.

So far I have disable all mobile data, I just want to make sure next time if I do enable some form of GPRS and so on they won't download data without me knowing.

Fren my wildfire I did not use any task killer and it does not lag a lot...
Further more lesser memory also, I still keep ky phone unroot and it works fine... so to root it or not it depends on individual....
don get the idea must root... root it u can do more things like set CPU speed, install some back up apps which is very useful sometime... and some others custimization stuff too...

Phone is still under warranty, if there is a need to send for claim, we can unroot it back. If you have deleted some of the blur apps for example, you can flash it back & return it to factory settings.

Deleting system apps is not recommended, I would advise to wait for the asia pacific sbf to be available first, which comes without motoblur.
