I dont think scratches come under warranty
if they do well then i would be very happy as screen of my defy has got a lot of scratches!!!!!!!!

having some issues with defy..

#My dialer kept freezing occassionally on cm7. (was annoying while making important calls).

So installed WajkIUI. Here, scrolling between the home screens lagged heavily.
I tried almost all launchers but no use. Even scrolling apps in appdrawer lagged. Settings menu, conversation list in messaging app, contacts etc . everything lagged..
But the Quadrant score remained around 2000 @ 1GHz. But whats the use ?
...
After an hour of frustration, I installed CMIUIv2.4 and the case is same .. Every little thing lags..
How come it is good for rest of you people ?
Does my defy has any peculiar problem ?
and i'm not ready to settle with stock rom.
Pls help guys..

did you wipe cache before installation?
maybe you need to change sbf before installation.

[giprabu]

^^ for miui roms there is no need of changing the sbf.
You just got to be in froyo before you install them (for optimum performance).
and yes i wiped cache..

just change sbf and flash miui then check if it works right.
just check it. it might do the trick.
or post about it in xda forum.

Thats strange really... :O
I just installed this week's WIUI, and after a few hiccups which occur dring a new rom installation for me...(stuck in boot loop, continuous force closes, etc), i have it full up and running done battery calibration, everything's fine... no lags waht so ever. Using default launcher.. of WIUI.
did u wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before and after the installation? moved everything to sd card through titanium back up... and restarted in between 2-3 times?

*wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before install and cache and dalvik after install

[giprabu]

^^yes i did them..
nothing helped.
...
Tried LiquidArc rom... It is so so good. No lag in any of the above specified places.
Quadrant score 2085 @ 800Mhz..
No freezing of dialer.(so far).
Battery life - 20hrs at moderate usage. (its ok i can adjust )
...
No rom handles Live wallpapers.. It was one of the thing i was dreaming about while getting defy.. Very much disappointed. The cheap galaxy Y handles live wallpaper like breeze.. :-/

Its true, LiquidArc is the best ROM for Defy that I found...you can increase the battery life by switching to Smartass CPU profile. I tried Live wallpapers in the new CM7.1, it was working quite well...

Thats by JBoogie rite? Its not been updated since a looong time . But since it claims to be lighter than CM7, it should be the faster than anything else. How long does the battery last in this ROM?

Its not updated for a long time, but I keep coming back to this from other roms, as this one is more smooth and stable than others. The battery life is also better - I get 1.5 to 2 days easily.

[Sparky19]

Any Defy owners using Gps navigation like MMI on Defy ? How is accuracy ? Does it work smoothly ? Any issues ? How about battery life while using it for navigation.

Note : I am asking about gps not A-gps with data plans.

after that i entered into recovery mod and cleared the system cache and data
after this i got stuck at google logo,(still able to enter into default recovery mod, but i cannot enter into bootloader)

I think to be safe you can factory reset and flash the stock sbf again. And then try from scratch.

[kamal_saran]

[arjundg]

@kamal_saran & chris, pls check the sticky threads for mobile price....and it is definitely much better than xcd35

[napster007]

@chris: You may get the defy for 13k at local shops if u drive a good bargain, again they should be having the stocks left as the defy + is now flooding the market..

[arjundg]

Anyone tried the new "AOSP/CM9" Experimental Builds for the Defy in XDA?

[lll_aritra_lll]

installed liquidearc ginger over stock rom (not nordic one) everything ok, but getting heavy issues on gallery only, it keeps hanging, force closing, laggy.. trying the inbuilt SE launcher, but i guess I will revert back to ADW launcher Ex soon

[red dragon]

^^Clean cache and dalvic cache.

[arjundg]

clean cache, and in the first time load of the gallery, keep it open for some time, let it generate the thumbnails!

Better get rid of the gallery completely and install quickpic.
