With Motoblur it is laggy, change it to Launcher Pro and things get smoother.

issit laggy to the extend it spoils your overall experience with the phone?

Hey guys, i'm currently loaning my friend's defy just to test it out before i buy it tongue.gif

the multitouch keyboard is super awesome and the predictive text is damn accurate man! laugh.gif

I noticed something though, i can't seem to find a lanyard hole anywhere on the phone rclxub.gif
*
nice to hear that the keyboard is nice. because the girl that i'll be giving the defy to never use touchscreen device before.. kinda worry that she will have a hard time typing sms..

and i dont think u need lanyard on a phone that doesnt mind to be dropped. no? tongue.gif

Not getting froyo now is not a problem for me actually since I am new to android.

i dun cant think a reason why a new user of android doesnt need a froyo tongue.gif

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Jan 6 2011, 08:45 PM)
Froyo is already available as an unofficial build if not mistaken. And motorola said Froyo will be available in Q2 2011 lol.

that's what happens to samsung galaxy S last time. full of promises. then keep on delay.. suddenly tadaa, new phone is announced and it's gonna be sentenced to death sad.gif

Internet tethering = usb and bluetooth only
3g mobile hotspot = wifi

Actually 3g mobile hotspot is a feature available only with froyo, it is also known as wifi tethering.
*
yups. but does it features in defy 2.1?

it's possible if manufacturer decides to put that features. like what samsung did to Galaxy S android 2.1

i just got myself a Defy!

few questions though :

1) why under account (settings) there is facebook but when i click on it, nothing happens

2) how to sync google contact with fb contact? last time my nexus one with android 2.1 easily sync google contact with fb contact if they are using the same name

3) what is motoBlur neway? i cant see anything special.. i thought motoBlur needs to sign in first when we set up the phone for first time? mine just standard android set up together with swype tutorial.

QUOTE(sanosizo @ Jan 10 2011, 02:16 PM)

1. phone battery cover have motoblur logo
2. when boot, after moto logo, next boot animation is motoblur logo
3. when first time use the phone, it will ask u to sign in to motoblur account

hi irenic

1) why under account (settings) there is facebook but when i click on it, nothing happens

yeah it is like dat one i think its buggy, you cannot log in one unless u log out from facebook from browser or the facebook app, then it will show the log in screen but the account won't register under the "account" section

1 more thing i notice which is buggy, is if you create folder on your homescreen to organize those icon, the name will revert back to default "folder" once you reboot your machine. better use "folder organizer" apps to organize
2) how to sync google contact with fb contact? last time my nexus one with android 2.1 easily sync google contact with fb contact if they are using the same name

this one i yet to explore
3) what is motoBlur neway? i cant see anything special.. i thought motoBlur needs to sign in first when we set up the phone for first time? mine just standard android set up together with swype tutorial.

motoblur is the skin, the interface or GUI by motorola. if you have malaysia set you have motoblur without the need for motoblur account.

thanks a lot! smile.gif

QUOTE(quikstep @ Jan 10 2011, 05:29 PM)
this is how i rooted my local set:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889133 (first post)

i then overclocked to 1000Mhz/58vsel using milestone overclock. ater loading the menu and selecting load on boot, remember to poweroff/on your defy to make the settings work!

enjoy  rclxm9.gif

yeah just finished downloading the files from the same thread. good to know it works with local set.
