thnx for the reply...i heard there is earpiece problem on dis fon...does it effect new batch fon...? how about the thickness..is it bothering u..? is it hard to type sms coz i'm use to type a lot..sory for the noob question rclxub.gif ...not ready yet to use android sweat.gif ...been using e72 for more than a year..

I have using Defy for 2 weeks already but still can't get used with QWERTY keypad tongue.gif

Btw, just ROOTed my Defy. Can I just change my Eclair to Froyo?

And.. If i reset it to factory default (setting>Priv. Settings>Factory data reset), will everything goes back? Mean.. Froyo to Eclair, ROOT to UNROOT, Overclock to de-overclock?

I was worrying for the earpiece problem too,but too bad can't resist it,still die die went to get myself a defy 2 weeks ago. In android,we don't type,we SWYPE  brows.gif
Yes,you can upgrade to leaked Froyo following the instructions in 1st page,for the factory data reset,you can't downgrade from Froyo to Eclair,for root/unroot,I not sure but you can always unroot your defy with apps easily. For the overclock,yes I think the cpu frequency would be reset to original state  biggrin.gif

Thanks. I hope this thread is extra extra extra active tongue.gif

*upgrading 2.1 to 2.2 version*

go to application>market>clear data and then you can access market....about wireless, shouldnt be a problem...what else did you really do besides rooting?? you're at 2.1 or Froyo??
*
Haven't change anything. I just follow da instruction from page 1. ROOT and from Eclair to Froyo.

Market done. But sometime this error appear..

"A network error has occurred. Retry or cancel and return to the previous screen"

Btw, how to import contact from SIM? Still cannot.

Edit:

Import contact settle after setup Motoblur account. Do we need this Motoblur? I think original Froyo homescreen is better than Motoblur.

network error is due to sometimes no data no wifi connection. as for import contacts, why dont you sync with gmail account? that way, you will forever have the contacts info whenever you flash new ROM or whatever....
*
Seriously i dono anything about this.. So do we need this Motoblur? And what is CM7? Is it Android latest version? After Gingerbread? Or? Is it possible to upgrade my defy to CM7? Currently Froyo 2.2

CM7 is a custom ROM that is running 2.3. It's short for cyanogenmod version 7. you can try to google for it to understand it more. read the first post on how to install CM7 on your Defy

I want last longer battery, and less lag environment. Which version is better?

well, as long as it works, anything goes...you'll be amazed with how good CM7 is. for me, i resisted a long time not rooting and not flashing to froyo, so i used eclair for like 1.5months, and when i rooted and flashed to liquidarc, it's a huge step in terms of smoothness and speed, and used it probably a month before going to CM7 beta 2.

i can easily say, CM7, despite all the problems and issues, is good enough for me, cos it's fast, great battery life and great 3d support.

so, i say to those new users of DEFY, use the damn eclair for a month, then upgrade to CM7...then after all the bitter, comes the sweet, and the sweet becomes sweeter!!


Added on May 15, 2011, 3:34 pmbtw, drop a couple of bucks to Quarx if you can afford it. USD1-5 aint a lot, and you can give even more if you can afford it. CM7 is seriously worth more than that, considering the amount of battery you save. it easily trumps a 1ghz phone running froyo, and with the speed motorola releasing the official updates, ice cream sandwich could have come and gone before we even get official gingerbread on our defy
*
Ahh shootttt. Im doing exactly as page 1 show. But now my phone is blackkkk.


Added on May 15, 2011, 3:49 pmOkey. Take out battery and normal boot. It's back to Froyo ;(

do you have 2ndinit installed now?? once you download it, you must open the app, and install it. once you've done that, reboot your phone, and see if you have the blue led light during the red M...if yes, press vol DOWN, and install CM7 from the custom recovery

I've installed 2ndinit. Yes i've reboot my Defy. Yes there's blue led. BUT there's no red M sad.gif

dont worry, red M if you have a custom ROM, so dont bother if you dont have red M, white M also good. as long got blue led, you're ok. press volume down and install CM7, then reboot 2ndinit

Shud we full flash 1st? Bcoz after i reboot 2ndinit, it doesn't show anything sad.gif


Added on May 15, 2011, 4:23 pmAfter see blue led, den need press Volume Down? How if we never press? I've press but same only.
