GB2.3 Miui Rom can play it smoothly brows.gif

I think it's caused by the sdcard transfer speed limit,try find the sdcard cache ahead speedfix,set to 2048 should help (I think so tongue.gif )

how long? first boot should be abit longer. But I thought to flash cm7/miui you have to set 2init boot to default?

doesn't say anything about it lah...just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's good! SGS2 don't have a good camera, and LG Revolution...well, frankly speaking, nothing great. the write up in anandtech still dont give the iphone camera a fight.

the hallmark of a good camera is taking photo in low light environment without a flash, and yet can take a sharp pic and still get enough details, and not much noise. probably the camera gurus can tell you this as well. all cameras can probably take a good picture in a brightly lit area, no matter how lousy. flashing makes the whole picture washed out
*
I disagree,I went jogoya with friends,using iphone4,the photos came out were as noisy as my Nokia N79 without flash hmm.gif So,you want good camera,get digicam/dslr thumbup.gif

Ya,I said I can't see much difference when comparing the photo quality of ip4 with my old N79 smile.gif

My Defy s'pore set has been sent for warranty(earpiece defect) for nearly 1 month,and this is what I get:

"We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. Please be advised that the phone repair is still in process. For your reference, I have provided the repair case number below:
Repair Case Number: 1-369079070"

I am very disappointed with Motorola mad.gif

Why is that they need 1 month(or more?) to get the stupid defected earpiece fixed!!! vmad.gif

We are facing the same fate sweat.gif But it's really too long for repairing the earpiece,I heard someone here in forum sent the Defy to Sunway Mentari service center,paying RM100 for changing the broken earpiece (out of warranty),sent in today got it tomorrow vmad.gif

blink.gif i see....

btw, if i get new sg set now still got earpiece problem...? icon_question.gif
kinda worrying me now...
i read around forum and foudn that it becuz of frequent using 3.5mm jack and spoil the earpiece?
tell me its not the truth  rclxub.gif

Hmm..I had never plug in the 3.5mm jack even once,but the earpiece still broken,new batch I don't know,but I check my Defy was manufacturer on February 2011 hmm.gif

My Defy is back in action,loaded with CM7 RC1,directly from SEA18,no need to go from Nordic,no problem at all and Quadrant score of 2.3k

Edit:GPS fix in 17s,Market working,Camera/V.Recorder working,up till now I found nothing wrong except lack of the 720p recording as mentioned by Quarx

i m having a problem here can someone help me out regarding this .???? i was actually on 2.3.4 shadow rom .. then i thought of switching back to eclair... so i flashed with 2.59 full sbf eclair from rsdlite ....

now the problem is in clockworkmod boot menu its not mounting the sdcard .. i tried to take the backup of nanodroid but its saying

cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 or (/dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)

i tried to format the sdcard from windows to fat32 and then again went back to clockworkmod boot menu .... but it results the same .. the error is still persisting.
can someone tell me whats the problem with this ? and why is it happening ? a little off topic but i m new here ... and pretty much widout clue why is all this happening ..

can someone help me out of this situation ?
*
If you mean you can't restore the nandroid,then this might be the problem:
Different version of CWM reads different directories,try
1)sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
2)sdcard/goapkrev/backup
I once faced the same problem with you hmm.gif

QUOTE(prozai @ Jun 26 2011, 09:54 PM)
hei guys...
i search around google and found that apps to SD only available for 2.2
where can i find for 2.1 cuz its like quite impossible???
i want to dl hd games sad.gif
*
Now official 2.2 already out,just upgrade it & leave 2.1 alone,big improvement from 2.1 to 2.2,you shouldn't miss it biggrin.gif btw,apps2sd function on for 2.2,so it's impossible for 2.1 biggrin.gif

QUOTE(blackwhitechipsKL @ Jun 26 2011, 10:35 PM)
the new phone batteries now all no need charge 8 hours lah....old battery tech yes, new battery, as long full, no problem liao. just make sure if you store long and not using, charge full before storing. avoid full cycle charges, meaning charge full, use until very very last drop, then charger full again. one a month do that ok, to sort of 'calibrate' the battery, but if not, you're better off with short cycle charges

sorry for disturbing  sweat.gif

No,you should not,cause you can just upgrade the 2.1 rom directly through motorola software update,much easier that way cause the official update already out. (I heard the SEA15 update been pulled back,anybody confirm that? still able to update to 2.2 through MSU?).I am using s'pore AP set so not affected since s'pore using SEA18 firmware.

I am new too & Defy is my 1st android phone too,don't worry in rooting/flashing cause virtually Defy is impossible to be bricked completely due to the locked bootloader icon_rolleyes.gif

hm...so i use motrola updater now tp upgrade to 2.2???
but seems like 2.2 is not downgradable???
argh so blur  rclxub.gif
*
why should you downgrade it since it is the official 2.2 stock rom? if you wanna downgrade it,then just use the method "nandroid restore + fixed sbf"

Procedure
1.Download nandroid of your choices,be it Nordic(most popular cause used by CM7/Miui) or just like me using the SEA version.

2.Download fixed sbf of Nordic/SEA (Both nandroid/sbf must be the same=Nordic nandroid+nordic fixed sbf OR SEA nandroid+SEA fixed sbf)

3.Copy the nandroid to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

4.Download & install RSD lite 4.9 to your COMPUTER (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537)

5.Download & install superoneclick to your COMPUTER to root your phone. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913709)
(Run the superoneclick in admin mode if you are using WIN7)

6.Download & install 2ndinit to your PHONE,use the version 1.4_2 cause it's the most stable version. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212)

7.bootup the phone after installing the 2ndinit,you will directly enter the 2ndinit mode,go to recovery>custom recovery> THEN wipe cache & wipe data.

8.Still in recovery mode,go recovery>custom recovery>restore to restore the nandroid you downloaded to sdcard.

9.Reboot system.

10.IMPORTANT: hold down POWER+VOL UP button immediately once you reboot the phone then you will enter bootloader mode (black screen + white font written: Bootloader 9.10)

11.Run the RSDlite4.9 in admin mode (right click>run as admin),your phone should be detectable in the RSDlite window.

12.Choose the fixed *.sbf file then click START. Then phone will reboot itself when flashing finished.

Above steps based on my experience,any mistakes do correct me.
I do not hold any responsibility if you ever brick your phone following my steps.

IMPORTANT: MUST wipe data/cache before flashing the sbf with RSDlite!!!
