Too bad that this phone cant take underwater photos. It doesn't have physical camera shutter button and capacitive touchsreen wont work underwater. But there is a camera app that allows you to make the volume rocker buttons as a shutter button, who knows maybe its possible. Or just use a ziplock bag instead smile.gif

Not to potong stim but here's what I read:

Motorola’s life-proof phone, the Defy, is set to get the Android 2.2 Froyo update sometime in Q2 of 2011. We’ve seen Moto delay updates more than once before, but at least they are giving themselves an ample amount of time to get Froyo out the door.

paid gbp284 for it.

Some nice things about this phone...

- notification LED like the original milestone
- built in 3g mobile hotspot app, no need to have root to do wifi tether
- omap 3610 with sgx 530 gpu
- small and light
- 3.7 inch gorilla glass screen
- got built-in battery manager, something like juice defender i think
- got data manager, monitor and control data connection
- camera auto focus very fast even in low light area

not so nice things...

- it has motoblur, somehow crippled the performance of the phone a bit. straight away replaced with launcher pro for smoother user interface
- camera quality not so good, can refer to youtube
- no fm radio

Maybe better to ask maxis guys instead, but I do believe a lot of people will be interested on this phone. Size just nice, quite high end spec and most important, rugged.

Added on December 10, 2010, 2:55 amI don't think this is 3610, because it won't be able to produce that results, when running at 1ghz it actually almost the same as the droid x running on android 2.2. Theres something special with this cpu, I'm looking forward to froyo benchmark next year biggrin.gif

Added on December 10, 2010, 2:55 amI don't think this is 3610, because it won't be able to produce that results, when running  at 1ghz it actually almost the same as the droid x running on android 2.2. Theres something special with this cpu, I'm looking forward to froyo benchmark next year biggrin.gif

Clove UK.

Package just arrived.

Ordered on Sunday but have to give them an authorisation code for the transaction since first time buying. Hong Leong have no idea how to help me out hence the delay.

I gave them ID confirmation instead.

Overall took 2 business day once they post my order.

A recommended UK store.

Amazon UK won't ship the Defy to Malaysia, so once I saw Sanosizo bought it already I just have to ask him.

Now need to unpack.

RM 1466 without tax, pass through custom without any charge. I bought it with the defy car dock so the price for the handset only should be around RM 1342.

Since you bought it from uk, you need to send back to uk fo warranty claim. You are lucky because the price has gone down from the time I bought it.

Be patient guys, singapore will have defy in 2 weeks time, I think ap set will be available in no time.

Phone is a bit laggy with motoblur on, once we replace it with other launcher everything will be smooth and silky tanpa kesan helmet biggrin.gif

The online shop will help you out if you failed to get it resolved here. Well it is a procedure I already knew since I have bought stuff online while I was in UK.

Should have a niche group of people wanting this, other smart phones will still dominate the market in my opinion.


Added on December 10, 2010, 3:21 pmYeah, lucky to get the price drop but I did not win the contest for the Defy ! not lucky enough.

UK is quite reasonable in their pricing because they do drop down prices very often. DVD movies, games drop down in price in just a month or so and the price drop is significant.

BTW, your android knowledge seems to be good, I too wish to replace motoblur but this is my first android phone.

stock speed running at 800MHz, motorola said it is TI OMAP 3610.

but rsd lite and windows reported the phone having 3630 instead. but judging from the benchmark, it can match the droid x on the same 1ghz speed even tho its running on android 2.1, so I prefer to call it 3630 instead.

to change the home launcher, just go to the android market and download launcher pro. once its installed, just press the home button then select launcher pro from the list. you should feel the difference in menu response after that but you'll lose all the widgets that u have with motoblur. some of it u can add back within launcher pro but some u cant.

if we look at the spec sheet for omap 3610 from TI, there is no powervr sgx gpu inside 3610. i dont know if motorola managed to custom built the chip and added the gpu inside, is that even possible?

no need to root to use launcher pro. just remember to turn off Data Saver in Data Manager to be able to download stuff from the adroid market.

Sanosizo, I myself am worried as well, have to send back to UK if any problem arises.


Sorry if I am a bother, if we are not connected using wifi, any activity like connecting to email and so on will be using HSPDA, 3G and we will be charge?

I think I got too exited the first few times using the phone and I think I use those feature quite a few times, shit, will be charge ...

Motorola’s Defy was to be the first “life-proofed” Android handset. Having taken a spin of it for ourself to test their claims and seeing countless crazy videos displaying the toughness of this thing, we believed them. But no one ever said anything about it breaking due to problems with engineering. Loads of users – after having extensively used the device for weeks since its launch – have experienced a horrible issue with their phones: the earpiece doesn’t work.
It makes the phone practically useless if you actually want to talk on it and not use headphones, a headset, or the speaker phone. Those familiar with the device say it’s because the headphone jack is so close to the earpiece. Repeated use of the jack may either contribute to a shortening of the component’s circuitry or it may be dislodging the entire thing from the circuit board altogether.
There’s no way to tell unless one of these brave souls open their devices, but we hear that’s about as hard to do as getting Motorola to release Android 2.1 for some of their more “uninspiring” devices. (Hehe.)
But they’re aware of the issue and are investigating it, thankfully. If you’ve fallen victim to these issues, I’m sure Motorola will have no problem fixing or replacing your device. And should they give you any crap, here’s a nice link to a support forum you can give them to prove it’s their issue and not a fault of your own

defy problem

hopefully sanosizo n jiangchen did not get this faulty unit...
juz dont use ur headphone jack too often to avoid this problem in the mean time wink.gif

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

quite expensive considering you still tied to a contract. for 24 months it should have been free.

kodak perfect touch software is just for picture enhancement, not much settings can be done, or its just that i havent explore everything in the phone yet.

Are you using Papago X5?

I am using the trial right now, not bad, just that the suggested route seems weird once in a while, like there is a fly over built mainly for the road below to ease traffic but the Papago will direct you to the road below instead.

Very bad & sad news indeed... My Defy earpiece has stopped working now sad.gif

Turns out it is a manufacturing defect, confirmed by mobile-review.com. And most probably affects all Defy, just a matter of time for it to happen. Currently waiting an answer from Clove...

Is the toughness of the phone worth it? hmm.gif

And that earpiece thing worries me. unsure.gif

Hi Sanosizo,

Did you inquire as to whether they have the ability to fix the defy?

If the repair is somewhere around postage cost to UK it is still good enough.

service charge would be rm20. defy is already launched here so they should have the ability to fix it now.

the concern now is how to convince the technical people to replace the defective earpiece ONLY.

I think if everything (service charge + parts) can fall around RM 150 - 200 it will save me some time.

Sanosizo,

Have you tried fiddling with the voice quality setting the one with the balanced, bright and extra bright ?

Added on December 21, 2010, 1:29 pmaccording to motorola website, yes the phone is under warranty. but under the malaysia terms n conditions, only phones bought within malaysia can use the warranty.

Before I bought the Defy I briefly checked whether there are any problems.

The speaker problem only started after I have the phone for a few days.

I guess this is life, we will never know what is in store for us in the future.

I have no regrets buying this phone, just have to fix the issue.

I guess when they send it back here Clove will charge us for the postage back here?

I think if I were to send it back I am looking at about RM 300 postage fee. If repairing here is cheaper I guess it is a much better option.

I have searched for the address for any Motorola Service center but so far I think they are outdated.

Yes it can. My defy just got scratched. The scratches are quite substantial, can feel a bit of the depth with the finger nail.

So defy is not scratch proof, just scratch resistant.

Stratos,

I also did try it with the keys, no problem, I even stab it with a pen no problem.

But today when I remove the battery from the phone and the phone was face down on my table. Apparently some small dust speck, a bit like one or two sand like speck was on the table. While removing the battery I heard some scratching sound and to my surprise the screen was scratched !

Try some sand, or ceramic stuff, maybe it will scratch, since all of us only use metal to try the screen out.

If you have the website I sent you, I won't be going so extreme as I can actually live with the scratches, mine is a lot more minor than his, I will just try some minor stuff to see if it works, if it does not I will live with it.

BTW check to see whether the solution I just posted works or not.

This time around I ask them to send to my office. They are better when sending to office, if to house or apartment most courier will fail or are lazy to deliver.

For goggle map you need to use brut mod. Uninstall original google map apk in system folder using root explorer. Reboot the phone then uninstall the app in applications. Then can only install brut mod hehe

btw, defy can now use clockwork recovery and nandroid backup. we now have motoblur and non-motoblur service flash so if u like or dont like motoblur u can change anytime u like by flashing those sbf.

my set is Singapore set. ( cheaper than local here )

Can't see any moto blur icon, but can see moto blur service when running kill task manager.

non-motoblur defy is much snappier because the social networking apps and other blur-ish feeds which reside in the background are no longer there.

btw, nice 2 see u again, e398 friend smile.gif

Sanosizo,

Are you referring to the Central Europe sbf?

Someone in XDA forum actually said that some of the Blur stuff is still there somehow, but less so compare to our UK sbf.

unfortunately 2.51 is the latest and moto has put something in it that make all current root method unsuccessful and u cannot flash to other firmware lower than that so u have to stay on it at the moment. good news is, the work on rooting 2.51 already in progress by the hackers. btw, i'm currently on 2.34.

Hi Sanosizo,

Does your screen have any dead pixel?

Mine has one near the middle and it is quite obvious on white or lighter background.

I wonder can claim warranty or not.

there is one time my phone speaker out of sound .. even i adjust the volume to max. this happened on day 3 i got it.

but then i notice this happened after i use the kill task a few times continuese, so i restart my phone and it become normal until today ( day 5 )

for my case, i didn't set any auto kill task during phone start up. i suspect the kill task action might cause some software issue.

just for information sharing smile.gif

now.. really happy with my phone. with RM player, map navigator, documents viewer, live wallpaper, name card scanner ... still looking more good stuff for it wink.gif

The phone is great, it is a shame it is plagued by the earpiece issue. I think Defy bought next year(if you can be sure it was manufactured during January) should be safe.

If you buy now the chance of getting the earpiece problem is high if you bought it elsewhere (UK or Europe), not sure about the Malaysia or Asia version though.

Mine is two weeks old and I fear the earpiece problem will happen to my Defy, I hope Motorola Malaysia will soon be able to fix the Defy here.

How come Motorola selling DEFY at RM1599 in Malaysia while Singapore is selling at SGD528? It's like only RM1257 at current exchange rate of SGD1=MYR2.38. That's a RM300 premium on the same stuff.

Wonder should I get it from Singapore or here? Problem is, got problem, can claim it in Motorola Malaysia?

the earpiece issue normally occured between 2-4 weeks but thats what happened to early batch of uk sets and i'm one of the unfortunate owners sad.gif

i believe singapore & malaysia sets are newer batches so the problem may have been solved but like i said, to be on the safe side, wait for a month first.

seems like u took the same route as me, but from e398 i go from e2 to e6 then a1200.

defy is a great phone, the size is just nice for the palm, not too bulky and quite light. its just that damn earpiece issue that can drag it down. anyway, i probably have to pay rm60 for the earpiece repair sad.gif

i asked the motorola service center. rm60 is normally for speaker repair, so i hope the cost for smaller earpiece repair is lower. unfortunately my set came from uk sad.gif

Hi Sanosizo,

Mine is close to a month, I am not sure when this thing is going to die on me.

BTW, it is January already, can they fix your phone now?

jiang, i hope yours is a newer batch of phone so no worries. yes the moto service center now can repair it but they need to check the phone first. i havent send the phone yet because i just got back from vacation and need some time to do backup as well.

brightstar @ local original set will be covered by warranty if anything happens.

What is Brightstar?

@Sanosizo, yesterday when calling my dad suddenly I can't hear him clearly, freaks me out. I turned on the speakerphone and it is the same so in the end it is my Dad's side that has the problem.

Thanks for the info though about Moto able to fix the phone now.

Not sure whether it is a newer batch or not, maybe after they sold the first batch then the second batch they do the price drop, if it is so I hope the second batch does not have the earpiece problem.

been looking for an Android phone that is not too big (SGS, DHD too big) and this one certainly fits the bill. screen big enough, but not too big, and specs is not bad. i dont need top of the line

Hi

Anyone here use any other charger besides the Ori unit? i intend to have another unit put in the office to charge my phone. the problem is those 3rd party are either rated at 500/550mA (which will not charge the phone) or 1A (which will charge the phone for awhile before my defy keep on beeping, i think it is overvoltage perhaps?)

As for using it during shower, nope. Never tried. But during berak session always bring in.

you dont need to set the usb into debugging mode, start the phone in bootloader mode is enough. btw, your phone is uk set similar like mine right?

no need to wipe the system, just flash with the right sbf file (code jordan) and thats it.

It worked after I use another computer to do it all over again.

Maybe it is the USB drivers. The first time I did not get the Motodev version.

I have just completed the flashing process and a lot of the other useless app(at least to me) is gone.

Thanks for the help !!

-- very loud indeed. clear? clear enough for me, alarm always wake me up, but sometimes i wake up earlier than the alarm.

2. issit fast for the GPS to lock signal from satellites?
-- must be under clear sky then it will lock quite fast

3. is the screen responsive enough especially for fast-typing sms
-- very responsive as other moto android phones. with multitouch keyboard fast typing is quite good and accurate. or u can swype the words.

4. is the screen viewable under hot sunlight
-- currently im using the lowest brightness, under hot sun screen barely viewable, need to crank the brightness up. not an issue.

5. the camera, in scale of 5 (1 very poor, 3 moderate, 5 very nice for a phone), which one u will give.
-- i give 3 only. it focus and snap very fast but image quality is so so only. picture can be enhance with kodak photo touch built in.

thanks a lot in advance!!

hi guys,

i have this weird problem, i created some folders on the home screen to organize some icons. i renamed the folder accordingly. however after turning off the phone and on back, whatever that i renamed will revert back to "folder"

anyone of you experience this as well?

Ok, I tried to do this three times already, I put my games icon all in a folder and rename the folder. Restart 3 times. The name did not change.

The thing is, I just change to 2.34 sbf this morning so my test could not be accurate.

I don't think you should have the mindset that Defy can survive drops from short heights, it really depends on the surface you dropped it on.

Yeap the keyboard is nice. The 3.7" screen size is just nice for landscape qwerty keyboard. In portrait format i'd prefer to use swype though. So much more convenient to type 1 hand with Swype xD

and usually i connect some lanyard accessory to make pulling the phone out of my jeans easier laugh.gif

Like what Sanosizo has said, the screen can be scratched and my defy is a good example.

The stabbing youtube video is impressive, I personally have tried it already. The thing is it gives you a false idea of it being invincible while a few speck of sand will scratch it deep if ample force is applied intentionally or unintentional.

Maybe try stabbing it with a ceramic blade and see if it scratches since mostly people use metal or steel stuff to do the test.

Hi, I am very interested in Defy and the thing stopping me to buy immediately is the ear piece issue that I read about on Internet. Anyone here have that issue yet? Someone advice to wait for 1 month first. My current phone have similar issue so I don't want to change to a phone that may have ear piece issue.

Besides that, any of you guys benchmark your Defy with Quadrant?

Sanosizo, that is a good example that you have found there !

Anyway, have you fix your phone?

@Willbeth, you should probably ask Sanosizo, I think he benchmark it with the Quadrant already and his Defy sadly is affected by the earpiece issue, UK set though.

Yeah, I use Z4root 1.3 to root. Very easy and Z4root gives you the option to temporary or permanently root your phone. Even if you choose permanent root they still provide you the option to unroot.

I would like to know the benchmark for Defy out of the box? From XDA, it seems like there's some discussion going on what CPU it is using. Maybe the newer gen will be getting as stated CPU, where the current users there, they suspect theirs of higher end. A user from CN is getting much lower results than some base Defy user.

So wondering that is the benchmark for the default Defy out of the box for Maxis.

Actually 3g mobile hotspot is a feature available only with froyo, it is also known as wifi tethering.

Thanks sanosizo for the explanation.

hmmm today my fren told me, if use tethering or accessing broadband with device other than that of the phone, i.e sharing it or using it with a laptop might be subjected to additional charges outside of the data plan subscribed. he said last time he checked maxis got charged one.

i m on celcom, i just checked and they say no charge =) yeah

by the way, found that HTC charger can charge defy without any problem =)

Cool thing about wifi tethering is your phone acts like a wifi access point where up to 5 wifi capable devices can use the internet coming from your phone. And you can still make and receive call at the same time.

It is safe to run the phone at 1ghz because that's the original speed. But to save some battery power, I keep it running at 800 and slow it down to 300 when the screen is off.

You can only remove it by flashing to non-singapore firmware but then you will void the warranty.

Hi guys,

I took some videos with Defy but can't access them. Can't view the videos from the "file manager on PC" but they are in the phone's gallery.

Another problem I have is my address book is showing all my Gmail contacts. I tried to put some of them in a different folder but it doesn't work. Did you guys import your SIM or something?

Please help and thanks!

Sanosizo, what app are you using to set the speed when your screen is off?

screen capture you need to root first then install shoot me

the 0 contacts in your sim might be due to the contacts being stored in your previous phone and not sim

Hi Greenday,


The driver that you say we have to install to access video file, is it this one?

Motorola 4.8.0 Driver with MotoConnect*

from this site: http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index....0008806b00aRCRD


OR the developer driver from this site: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/US...set_USB_Driver/

hi cybergal,

its the one the first one,

http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index....0008806b00aRCRD

i noticed that without installing the driver, just plug the phone to the pc thru the usb cable, you can transfer file just fine but the phone will not charge thru the usb connection, after installing the driver the phone will charge and transfer file =)

Not so good news to those who intend to root the malaysian set which comes with build number JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0

all the following method will not work:

Z4 mod
Superoneclick
Droid2method

no one click job here, need to flash the sbf file, hmmm abit risky if anything goes wrong. anyone rooted their malaysia set? what method u use?


Added on January 9, 2011, 9:44 pmhmm anyone got papago running? which is the latest version for android ah? confusing here, got X5, X2, M7???? whats the difference???

Greenday, my phone does charge via USB. I can see my photos using the File Manage window on PC but I cannot see my videos.

The built-in GPS is also highly inaccurate. I took photos of the places and they are tagged with GPS co-ordinates. I checked on the PC but they are all in the wrong spots!

Also, I check my open apps through Advance Task Killer, and many apps like YouTube, MySpace, Voice Dialer, etc. automatically open, how come?

The default browser, I cannot organise bookmarks into folders.

I hope you can help me. I still have so many questions!!

Not sure about the picture with GPS tagging but GPS is quite accurate everytime I use it. You need to make sure there is a GPS lock on first though.

The GPS icon must not be flashing when you take the picture.

All those apps are open in the background. Unless you delete the app(need root) or configure the task killer to close them each time you turn off your screen.

I think you can try to get different browser for a change, opera, firefox and quite a few have mobile browser.

u install the driver first, then go to:
MB525 => Removable storage => DCIM => camera (the video should be there) mine is

the open apps maybe due to widgets u place on your homescreen, or maybe they are autorun during startup in the background, you can disable it with Startup cleaner pro, you can get it free in the market

the default browser does not have folders function to organize bookmark if i am not mistaken. get dolphin browser HD from market it is free and have folder function for bookmark

By default all programs are loaded into the memory every time after the phone starts, this is standard in all android phones, making sure that the programs are ready to be run instantly when we hit the program icons. Android has its own memory manager but if somehow you wanna free more memory for let say a 3d game, then the third party task manager will be needed.

Greenday, I have installed the drivers already.

Do you access photos and videos through "Moto Phone Portal"? I can only see the recent PHOTOS. The "View All" link doesn't work for me.

The new driver also has no improvement.
