i regularly wash my phone with soap....so that's probably a one in a million case....that said...it's still your choice...no other phones can do this at the moment...even without the 'lifeproof' thingy that Motorola is selling....this phone is still a solid phone with good price/features

Lol with soap ftw

hi all..
long time no replying in this awesome tered biggrin.gif
kinda bz and m phone gib me lots of headache these 2 weeks.
its all happen after i change to DNA 16GB class 10 SD.
lots of data corruption. phone hangs and need to pull out battery.
opening gallery also delay like s***.copying file from PC sometime end up with super slow speed  or fast 17MBs copying half finish then hang.
then see forumers @xda also have this same problem.
with different brand of sdcard also but all is 16GB Class 10.
so anyone thats thinking to upgrade sdcard should noted this problem.

mybe TS can put this reminder @ front page also.

yeah.. now change back to my old Kinston 8GB class 6..
no problem at all.
open gallery also no lag+hang  like with that class 10 card


Added on July 6, 2011, 11:34 am

suggest we stay away from class 10 card for now.
since there repeatable result across many brand that have problem with it


Added on July 6, 2011, 11:37 am

setvsel supposedly got this option rite..?
btw, thanks for suggestion.
wil try it tonite.
wanna clean format that card and install fresh formated phone.

i'll wait a little longer and see what ppl complain before installing it, but then again, dont really need to install a new version. 1.7.1 is pretty solid on its own anyway.

I got sidekick application force close on 1.7.1 and restart often.. on the way to 1.7.8!!

seem like this is the bug for 1.7.8 -
Cannot take picture in any scene mode other than automatic.
Jerky video recording.
Flashlight on lockscreen requires slide in opposite direction to unlock first before working.
No vibrate on android keyboard regardless of settings.
WPS WIFI may cause reboots.

yup, although i must admit, it's still a lot of 'copying' work rather than original works and concepts like CM7. it's after the iPhone concept, just sort of 'port' it to the Android world.

LOL yeah they still outsmart the stock android rom somehow..

btw 1.7.8 is stable or beta? same as 2.3.4a??

using 1.7.8 now, seem cool and fine, no FC and restart for now..

bro, the video recording & photo taking bug as reported... is it true? since you are runing 1.7.8 now, thought might just as well ask you to try and see if the reported bug is true or not.

True sia.. can only take photo in auto mode...

HELP!

Guys. Referring to the front page for: CM7 2.3 Custom ROM - Beta 6 NOW! 15thMay2011

I downloaded all the files except for Google Apps 2.3.4(market, gtalk, etc.) because the link is dead. Anyhow I tried to find the file from the internet based on the keyword. I did managed to get some files. I tried a few after that with no success to instal it after booting.

Anyone has the file?

Cheers.


Added on July 10, 2011, 2:06 am..Oh no and now My wifi keeps logging off... arrrgh! What did I do wrong.
..and I managed to get some Google Apps installed. Wifi is OK now but I can't seem to establish a Google account to my Google account and where is the Android market App?

yup, last time ppl keep saying, (even Quarx) that Defy is limited to 2 point multi-touch due to hardware, but now someone already did a 10 point multi-touch.

well, after all, the fella already did a flashable zip with CWM, thus making it easier to install rather than the earlier paste paste crap. those with time and nothing to do, download and install through custom recovery
