well, i had intermittent line issue when i was in Philippines last week, but after rebooting a few times, problem went away. still on liquidarc.

i guess the first thing you should do is to set your APN settings. that could be the problem in getting a stable network. see the first post on how to do it

tyenfei, i guess we can add the current ROMS instead of 'older' ROM, but will need you to keep updating it probably every month

link not working?

if you mess it up, you can't even boot into the normal screen, just the bootloader. you'll have to reflash with a FULL SBF, not fixed sbf to recover your phone.

yeah, once you know how to reflash a full sbf, you can flash almost everyday if you want to have a NEW rom everyday

the thing i dont like it the restoring of apps and their data everytime i flash a new ROM

Yup, flashing will be the only way. Might as well flash a 2.51/2.59 FULL sbf, but then again, might as well just get a new sbf, and flash to 3.4.3!!

i understand the feeling of getting the official 2.2, but at the end of the day, you're missing out on a lot of the Android's possibility. Once the official 2.2 comes out, there are gonna be more ROMs in the market, and then what?

well, i also need a stable firmware, and which is why i always let the ROM be used for 2 weeks first before flashing it, cos by then, the bugs will be already be cleaned up and re-released clean

well, i'm using LiquidArc, and i can say in terms of stability, should be like the stock SEA rom. Unless you like Blur stuffs, i guess this is as good as it gets.

Another one that i will try would be Barebones, but you will have to 'customise' it more yourself, but since i malas wanna backup and restore apps, i decide to skip it. well, actually i can do a nandroid backup of my current ROM, and then do Barebones and if i dont like it, i can always restore my LiquidArc

lol, that's bad for you bro. why not try the Barebones ROM? or Pays?

i've flashed a lot of SBF when i first tried to move to 2.2, and had a few screw up, so i guess that shouldnt be the case. i was prepared to have my DEFY turn into a RM1k+ paperweight!

luckily Sifu Lingch helped me and finally found a full SBF to flash, although i lose direct downgradability.

did you set APN settings?

no lah, i mean i do a nandroid backup of my current LiquidArc, and then flash Barebones. If i dont like Barebones, i can always re-flash back to LiquidArc with my apps together

finland ROM??

take the plunge dude, and see how much difference custom ROMs are!!

i know i did!! just dont screw up if you want downgradability...and flash on a full battery. i didn't, and i screw up, and i was left with battery low warning, unable to program. had to do some major USB wiring thingamagick to revive the battery before i can flash

it's Android after all. if you dont like customising it, get an iphone!!

what's that you said? i didnt hear you

that's why i sold off my E66. solidly built, sad software. my first and last Nokia!

well, i only bought like 3-4 phones in my life. started with some Ericsson that my mum gave to me when i went to Uni. started working, phone koyak so bought another Ericsson T something something, the one with a flip cover. used that very long time (2 years+) until battery konk and cannot even charge liao. so bought the first SE phone, but that one really stupid build and threw it away after a year, and bought SE K series (forgot again lah) and used it for 2years plus, before biting the bullet and move to Nokia E66. used it for 2 years + also, but really, besides the build and having Garmin Mobile XT on it, nothing really stands out. just a reliable phone to use, but too much of a business phone. nothing to do during my car/taxi/train/airplane rides to customer places.

so a tough phone like DEFY really appeals to me cos i also do a lot of outdoor stuffs, and scuba diving as well.

lol, unless kena Android Ice Cream Sandwich poison, hopefully at least 2 years or more la. that's how often i change my phone, unless the phone cannot last. actually, i can still use my Nokia E66 for easily another 2 years plus even

is using Whatsapp as well, and Frings for a moment. I would say Whatsapp is useful due to the number of friends using it, but Frings is mainly a MSN + other IM client, but not many ppl really on Frings, so not so good. Also, keeps running on the background too much for my taste.

changed to using other IM clients, but all still keep running on background, so uninstalled all, except whatsapp

lol, installed but still understand all these technical mumbo jumbo....still waiting for a sifu to lead the way!!

if that's your wifey picture, nice ass! if not...then who?? LOL...
