Hi Irenic,

ur camera problem is on 2.1 or 2.2?

i guess it shouldnt be a prob to root 2.1 also..

but u still need to use the other method to have custom recovery, as v2.5.1 cant flash rom or .sbf directly..

noted, tq.
don't try 1st then hahaha. now still busying with my final year project

Guys.. would like to ask.. hows the 5MP camera performance? is it comparable to HTC Desire's or any other good 5MP Cameraphones?

Would want to know too, any defy user can tell us?

HTC I don't know but totally can't compare with my Moto ZN5 loh.

it just like my wife's Samsung SGH-900 Omnia 1.

The video quite ok, even it is not HD but quite smooth and clear

If its comparable with ZN5 then its one of the best already bro.. so its like Omnia 1 eh? you sure? then its below my expectation lerr.. dun really care much on videos.. its the photo quality that i matter..

for anyone with froyo, use this to fix the camera issue..

flash confirm fully working.
here you are. quadrant score with 2.2 cn froyo. defy is at default.

Nice. Interested with this device. May I know is the package come with any memory card? How is the battery life?

mine only comes with 2GB and I believe by standard they all come with 2gb memory card.. for me it doesnt matter as I have my own 16gb memory card.

battery life is way better than my desire HD.. i believe this device can last 1 and half day with heavy usage.

irenic, do you recommended this device over dhd? Apart from 2.2, any more pro and con?want to consider it since it is cheaper and I got tab.

hmm it's not fair to compare defy against dhd as they are in different price range.. well let just i list down the advantages dhd over defy and vice versa.. imho...


DHD pros:
- bigger screen, better for web surfing, vids playback
- htc sense & htc social network integration
- integrated effects setting in camera mode
- overall, it feels smoother
- usb port at bottom >> car dock friendly
- lots of developers, best 3rd party support

Defy pros:
- i believe gaming is better on defy (based on my experience with my fav android game, asphalt5)
- low profile frame > looks small eventhough has 3.7" screen
- usb port at the side >> desk dock friendly
- sharp text
- smooth
- rugged look and water proof
- fits pocket easily during outdoor / recreational activities.
- better battery life
- cheaper.


dhd cons:
- poor screen
- the thickness. for 4.3" screen size, it should be thinner. somehow i feel my 5" dell streak is easier to carry than this one.


defy cons:
- bootloader locked!!!!
- doesnt support real custom recovery yet.
- usb port at the side makes it hard for left handed like me to type text with one hand



both are good devices. if u always carry ur tab around, maybe u dont need another big screen device.. or maybe u need one smaller, low profile device with great features and specs. but i am not going to recommend one over another~

just to share defy capability at 1Ghz..

i am so interesting to tis question also......
have sample photo for it?

soli i am new here.......
chart so defy performance better than other?

wow 1ghz performance is great, tempted to root my defy lolz....by the way any noticeable toll on the battery depletion?

You can use this phone as 'surfing' indoor or outdoor at the beach

synthetic benchmark cant really indicates how good the device handles day-to-day operations. because it calculates mainly based on hardware and driver instructions.. while in fact, both hardware optimizations and software implementation are crucial in daily usage.

but at least we know how good Defy hardware is

not sure. need more time to test it out..
