Thank you for working so hard on this device. Living in China as a non-Chinese it is really hard to get a credit card. I will be moving in about a week and have a much better job. Hope I can get a build device together and help you out. Again, thanks for all your work.

I've made this thread since other phones has one too and I've wanted to reply to your post, but I couldn't reply in that thread since we've already went off topic there .
So, you're moving to China? That sounds great. I would like to at least visit China/Japan, but I don't know when that'll happen or if it'll happen.
I'd like to know more about China and I'd like to see pics too. So, if you mind, I'd like you to keep me/us in touch with your journey .
PS: is anybody watching animes?

Visit China is almost a must for me, because I practice kung fu/wushu (north shaolin style).
Yep, I like anime (in fact, I like manga more than anime) but I rarely watch current season, most of the times I watch it later. Exceptions to that was Onepunch-man, Ushio to Tora (first cour), Overlord, My Hero Academia (first cour)... Can't remember others. Do you read manga too? I see you like FT i read it until the end

I never read manga and probably i wont since i prefer watching over reading . I havent heard about the animes youve mentioned.
Those are the animes which ive watched:
1) Yuu Yuu Hakusho - ive watched it when i was kid and it was the first anime.
2) InuYasha - ive watched it when i was kid too, but unfortunately i couldnt watch it always nor ep by ep because it was quite late at TV (i mean the time). However, im planing to watch it (probably after i finish Fairy Tail) since ive enjoyed it so much when i was kid.
3) Sword Art Online 1 & 2 - there were so moments where ive cried, especially in the ending eps.
4) Kuroko no Basket 1, 2 & 3
5) Hunter x Hunter (2011).
6) Naruto and Shippuden - ive cried at this one too (probably ive cried the most at the arc with Zabuza and Haku). Ive watched all the fillers of Naruto, but skipped some of Shippuden ones as i couldnt bear them anymore That time ive said that ill watch them someday, but i havent watched them till now and i doubt that i will.
Ive also watched Naruto Shippuuden: Sunny Side Battle (one ep) in which Itachi is cooking eggs for Sasuke and he is using Mangekyō Sharingan during cooking. It is funny af .
7) Fairy Tail - finished first season and im currently watching second season. I have that XDA avatar and signature with characters from FT because im currently watching it and of course, i like it I havent watched it for some time though and last time ive watched only 1-2 episodes because im at fillers. I dont wanna skip fillers but i also dont feel like i wanna watch them lol.
You can see my anime list by clicking on the gif from my signature and it will redirect you to my MAL list.
I have lived in China for 9 years + at this point. I am married here and have a son. Chinese language was my major at university, hence the move. I am a very white person from the US. Got bored of studying political science so decided to study a language also. Neither is very practical for a career, but it got me here.

Nicee. I don't have a MAL account, as I wouldn't update it lol
SAO and KnB I didn't read or watch. The others I did read or watch or both YYH wasn't my first anime but it was one of them. Braziilian dub was awesome, it is hard to forget it. Hunter x Hunter (2011) is probably one of the best animes I have ever seen and one the best stories I have ever read. Togashi is really a great author.
Naruto I didn't watch all the episodes, but it was the gateway to the manga, which I read entirely. Jiraya death was really sad and, for me, one the best things the author did.
I really like inuyasha and I need to finish reading it hahaha I postponed too much.
My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academi) is a very good shonen. I really recommend it to you, seen that you like good battle shonen. And Onepunch-man is a shonen super hero parody, really funny
About the video, I don't. I have only video which I do Chinese Lion Dance, but I need to find it xD
Yesterday, my Nova fall from hand on the street... I've took it off from my pocket to check the weather and it fall. I don't really know/remember how it fall because it happened so fast lol, but I guess it slipped since it's back is slippery (it fall many times in house because it's slippery, but it can't get damaged in house).
The screen got scratched, maybe not that bad though, but still... The screen is working fine, I mean I didn't have any issues, but when I touch on the scratch it looks like it's flickering in that place (dunno if "flickering" it's the right word though).
It's the first phone I've ever dropped on street... I'm not gonna repair it because I don't know what they'll replace and whether it's original or not (most likely not). Also, I'm not gonna buy a new phone since I don't even have the money for that.
So, be careful with your Nova and never drop it.
Shattered part of my screen after a night out once, results sound similar. Luckily, it is really cheap to get fixed here in China, even at the official Huawei shop. I went with a cheap shop, sure it is not original, but no cracks and works fine
I had the same =/
3 months ago, a friend of mine bachelor party and I put it out of my pocket and a second later was on the floor. It shattered in the bottom right of the screen and is working too. I have to import a screen but as it is working yet, no need to rush.

Some of you have a EMUI 5 backup to share? I'm using bluesmoothie EMUI 4.1 backup after I tried LOS and RR but I want some nougat again. I don't remember why I didn't make a backup and I the file needed to restore my original version
(so I could update from it) isn't available anymore at firmware finder.
Managed to completely brick the device, wont boot at all, nothing, no reaction. Plug into charger, no LED. My advice, do not use dd commands to over write modem partition Will see what the Huawei service center has to say. Was trying to solve an issue of my new SIM being detected, but not connecting to the network.

Did you try to use dd to write modem.img? [emoji33]
Enviado de meu HUAWEI CAN usando Tapatalk
That is exactly what I did, and now it wont boot. Huawei service center said no warranty since I had my screen replaced and that I needed a new motherboard, which with their quoted price is about as much as a brand new device
Luckily, there are many other repair shops around and they say they can try to fix it and it is much cheaper. They also mentioned that Huawei service center always just swaps the motherboard and never tries to repair it.
Other choice if that fails is to buy a cheap second hand one (like screen broken) and swap the motherboard.

Once, I bricked my moto x 2014 because I was testing some things with stock and other roms but I forgot that isn't a good thing to take an OTA after updating/downgrading again, because motorola didn't put flags to secure the process. In the end, my bootloader messed up and I had to buy a second hand MB and replace it, because as you said, official repair shop don't try to fix things, they just replace the MB. To sum up, I payed less than the half of the price to put a original one.

Well, it is bricked. Nothing can make it wake up. Got a deal with the shop of 500 CNY, less than 100 USD, to swap motherboard. Remind me not to dd partitions on this phone. I may have also shorted it out by using a needle to open the sim tray.
To be honest, I mostly use my phone for tinkering with it, not many people call/message/other media message to me. I just moved, bricked my phone, and my motherboard is dead on pc as well. I am in a rut with the tech at the moment. I am adventurous, sometimes it is good sometimes not.
One thing, could @#Henkate build a kernel for CAZ models? I ask, if you can't no worries, because my phone was not picking up China Telecom networks, which it should. I messed with apn, well, and modem. It might be kernel or might not be. SIM card is fine in my wife's Vivo phone and China Mobile worked fine in mine. My guess is the kernel is going for CAN and my phone is not that.
Will start again troubleshooting when my phone and new motherboard arrive.
Will now happily add that I fixed my PC. Had to strip it down and rebuild it and now it is fine.
What's up?
I've been busy with studying theory for driving exam (had it on 22 August) and I've failed... I'll try it again though.
Yesterday, my Nova got broken... I've murdered it with my own hands. I've got mad for a reason and then I was playing Naruto game (chinese game). I was losing in row and then I've got pissed off (there's lag because the game server is located in China or something). Then I've put the phone under sofa's corner and I've got on the sofa on legs and jumped once and it got scratched like in the pics attached to this post. I still don't understand how I could do such a stupid thing. There were moments in which I was more mad, but I haven't done anything.
You know, I think the fact that I've broke nova on my own is bothering me more than the fact that I don't have a smartphone.
Right now I'm typing from an Galaxy S3 Neo which is mother's phone, but I can't take it and also it has a crap screen on time (about 3h, maybe battery needs to be replaced) and auto rotation isn't working properly (there's an a workaround though).
I've seen that a new display for Nova costs about 55 euros, but it's prolly fake one and not original. But if phone is working fine with it, then I guess it's okay/acceptable... Also bringing it to a service should cost more (replacement cost or something).
Unfortunately, I don't have the money to repair it right now and prolly it won't happen that soon. I'm not even sure how much it takes to repair it, but I might ask at some services. What's sure is that I won't buy another phone. I mean, I can't even afford to repair Nova right now .
The development is stopped since I can't use the phone anymore. I know that's possible to work without it, but considering that even good devs with good knowledge avoid working on a phone which they don't own and that i have low knowledge, I don't even wanna try that.

Hi man!
This is a sad story. Some times I blame myself too, for not holding my phone right and having now a shattered screen :/ but mine isn't unusable, it is just ugly and not fine.
I bought a new display at vopsmart.com (and two tempered glass screen protector). The sum was 66 dollars, so although you don't have the money right now, I suggest you to take a look. I bought 2 weeks ago and it is already in Brazil waiting for delivery (my neighborhood have a delivery restriction - but I think that I'll receive it this week yet).
I'm sorry about the drive exam. I already took mine, 7 years ago. A lot of friends of mine didn't passed at first. Take your time, you will do it
I'm quitting physics and next year I want to begin study computer science or engineer. So I'm studying to pass the exam and I'm also learning how to program Android apps. So learning how to build rom will take a bit more time.

If you add a paypal account link in your Lineage thread I am sure people would be willing to help out. I know you have a link in your name, but maybe just edit OP of Lineage thread to say, development stopped as phone is broken, please donate to help me fix it.
I have managed to smash my screen and destroy my motherboard. I have replaced both now and the phone is working great on your latest build of LOS. Waiting until my first payday and I will be trying to put together a new PC. At that point I can have a dedicated build machine, but being paid more means more work for me now. That means my time is a little more limited.
Oh, I just found out that magisk works for devices
Magisk works? Tell me the version.

So yeah, I did it again, I've lost my phone. Please flame me.
The other day I was at concert in Turin (Dropkick Murphys, wohoo), and probably due to the fact that I was right in front of the stage, drunk like hell and dancing like a fool for a couple hours I've lost my phone in the middle of the crazy-jumping-punching crowd. No chance, I couldn't find it anywhere after the show, and looking for it while it was still going would have been like looking for a quick but painful death, it must have been totally destroyed after a few seconds anyway. So when I got home I called my carrier and blocked my number, then (smart as hell) I tried tracking/blocking my phone on windowsphone.com, but that didn't work. Yesterday I went to the police station so that I was able to report the fact in order to be able to get a new sim-card with my old number from my carrier. That's it, now I'm still pissed but I can handle it.
Anyway, here are some (probably pretty lame) questions. Now I got my phone blocked via IMEI and I have my number, so that's quite fine, but what about the data I had on my phone? In particular, what about the apps I bought and stuff like that? In the coming weeks I'm getting paid for a random work I did so I'll be definitely getting another WP7 device, but I still don't know much about this platform so I don't know how this works. On Android when I switched phone I had all my apps, contacts and stuff linked to my Google account and I've never lost a thing, how does that work here exactly?
Sorry for the dumb questions...

If you go to my phone on windowsphone.com - and your account you will have the list of apps you installed. It might look a little painful process as not all apps and settings are going to restored by a single click. Settings - manually. Apps - one by one. Also if you had any unlocks they are gone! So all those side loading apps, won't be there. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! But see the positive - it looks like you had a good night

Thanks for the tips, I feel better already. Too bad for sideloaded apps, but that was something I expected. I only had the basic windowbreak unlock so that's not too bad. The only thing that really bothers me is that I wasn't in the mood for an upgrade at all right now, the phone worked fine and the day I've lost it I had just received my brand new case...I was already saving money for some superphone releasing in Q4. Oh well, I guess this is what you get for being a reckless fool...you're right tho, that was some real fun

I would recommend since it's your temporary replacement, probably get some second-hand Samsung phone on which Windowsbreak works. That way you can be sideloading in no time and have some money for the super Apollo!

I'd second that, also the LG Optimus 7 costs about 140€ here right now, that's pretty cheap for a new phone, but it has that fugly LCD...anyway a friend of mine rocking a brand new Lumia 800 (Cyan) is teasing me like hell. Maan, that phone is overpriced...I have to...resist...ugh!
I'm using my old Nokia N70 now, it owns!

Nice thing about LG is that it has a registry editor built in, so it is easy to dev unlock yourself.
Plus you can do any other tweaks, such as real instant resume and fix the blue tooth audio for video issue.
Real instant resume keeps the app in actual memory, so when you go back to it, it does not need to rehydrate. Negative of course, is that you need to make sure to back out of apps that you don't want consuming your memory.

Not to mention the bad impact it has on battery life.
Hi, before I get anywhere else in this thread I must first say thank you. Thank you to all the developers and testers, all the time you spent trying to perfect such a tiny little device meant so much, especially towards the beginning when dealing with MotoBlur was a hassle on its own. You all are very great at what you do, especially in comparison to my own knowledge on android development, which is nothing. :laugh:
Secondly, I wasn't sure where to put this thread, I just set it somewhere where I knew it would have the best chance at being seen. I apologize in advance if I put it in the wrong subforum.
Anywho, the whole reason I made this thread is simple: I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, and am no longer in need of my Bravo.
I know I could use it as a backup phone, but to be honest I have an old Samsung Epix that I like to use off and on. Back to Bravo point, I feel like getting rid of it.
It's in fair shape, with no cracks or dead pixels, but with 2 years worth of scratches when using it without a screen protector. It even has a new battery I put in last month. I know it's not perfect, but I imagine someone on here has one in way worse shape, or needs a spare for development purposes.
So, my offer is this: anyone who is interested in this phone needs only to send me a PM with a very brief explanation as to why they'd like it. I'm not some dean of a university requiring a 12 point essay as to why you deserve it more, I'd just like to know what you'd benefit from it.
In return, whoever ends up getting it, I ship it to you, minus the usb cable and SD card. For free. In other words past the PM sent, I would require nothing more.
Is it wrong of me to set this up here? I dunno. I've just seen people discussing their phones in the past as having major cracks and such, or needing to buy another one, and decided giving it away was better than letting it sit and gather dust.
But anyway, if you stuck it out and read the whole thing, and you're interested, thanks for reading.

He was open to PM's on it for a week. I was the only one who replied so I was supposed to get it. He said I'd get in in a week or two -- that was almost 3 months ago and he hasn't logged onto XDA since August 16th. Hopefully nothing bad happened to him, but I'd have liked an "I'm sorry I can't send it PM" versus waiting on it for a month and a half and nothing.
//With his name being Hippyman, he could have easily been pulled over with a bag of "oregano". A buddy of mine got 3 months in county, 2 years probation, and drivers license revoked for 2 years because a state trooper in Arizona found a single weed seed on the floorboard (felony charge).
/csb time -- well, sort of
A few years back, I got an overnight job a Wal-Mart so I picked up my buddy and we went out driving all night (I was getting my body adjusted to overnight hours before the job started). I was stone cold sober, but my buddy had taken 2 xanax bars, a percocet, and a fifth of vodka (I despise pills and will never take them). A (county) cop pulled me over for going 55 in a 35 (I sped up to 55 because I SAW the speed limit sign that said 55 -- I ended up pulling over 3 ft from that sign). While he was searching my car (probable cause because my eyes were red from exhaustion) he found some tobacco on my floorboard from a cigar that was stepped on and I hadn't bothered to clean up (It was my first car and trashed to hell by this time so crap on the floor didn't matter to me by then; got a Mazda Miata a few weeks later).
The cop tried to give me a dui ticket for tobacco on the floor and having red eyes -- but it pissed him off that I could easily pass the sobriety tests - easily passed because I was SOBER.
The cop ended up giving me a speeding ticket cause he couldn't prove I was high (which I wasn't) and made my friend drive us out of that county -- remember that list of crap he had taken above, well, combine that with the fact that my friend didn't have a drivers license. He was totally f***ed up and nowhere in the state of mind to drive a car. I steered the car until we hit the county line a few miles later. Ended up having to pay $250 because I accelerated 100ft too soon.
If you ever go to Arkansas, stay away from Arkadelphia cause the cops their are complete morons. Also, if you ever do get pulled over, have a bag of "oregano", and get searched -- hide it in your damn left hand. I've been searched 3 times now with between a half ounce and two ounces and they have yet to find any of it......I have no idea how they missed the 2 oz in my hand, but they did....

He was open to PM's on it for a week. I was the only one who replied so I was supposed to get it. He said I'd get in in a week or two -- that was almost 3 months ago and he hasn't logged onto XDA since August 16th. Hopefully nothing bad happened to him, but I'd have liked an "I'm sorry I can't send it PM" versus waiting on it for a month and a half and nothing.
//With his name being Hippyman, he could have easily been pulled over with a bag of "oregano". A buddy of mine got 3 months in county, 2 years probation, and drivers license revoked for 2 years because a state trooper in Arizona found a single weed seed on the floorboard (felony charge).
/csb time -- well, sort of

Wow that is ridiculous. Won't have to worry about that though after getting caught in my bathroom lighting it up for the second time

Luckily, I've never been caught, except by my Dad when I was 17 (not smoking, just came home REALLLLLLY high). He ended up taking my stash, then 3 days later after he went through it, he came to me to get him some since it was way better than what he was getting at the time. When I told him it was only 25 a q, he was pissed cause he was having to pay 50 a q for the same. I was loling since connections were better than his.
The closest to actually being caught were the 2 times I was pulled over with quantity that I palmed in my left hand, and this time at school -- I was accused of drinking on campus that day; it was bs, I was drunk the previous day. Anyways, I had 2 packs of smokes and 2 separate halves on me -- one was regular, one was killer -- and on the way up to the office to get searched for the bottle I didn't have, I walked two steps behind the dean and started tossing my stash on top of lockers we went down the hall. Got searched, they found nothing, left the office, recovered everything, and went on with my day as usual. FYI, the one and only day I ever drunk at school was a free day at the end of the third quarter and all my tests were done -- the only thing on the agenda that day was watching movies or sleeping in class -- me and my buddy opted to get drunk. We'd have skipped that day, but if either of us would have one more day we'd be denied credit for the quarter. You could only miss 4 days every 18 weeks....
So there's actual rom crap here.....I flashed Quarx's CM10 Custom Kernel rom for the Defy Plus earlier (unmodified). Runs smooth and great, but the capactive buttons are way off and need to be fixed for normal use, camera didn't work (I expected that), capactive buttons also stay at 100% brightness. I think with a little bit of tweaking it could run great on the Bravo.

Good news on the rom!! and great story for a lazy sunday!
Haha great story. They never took my stash because I said it was all gone but I still haven't smoked it because the drug test me. Anyways, so does the Defy kernel make it a lot smoother than before or does it seem smoother or what?

it's smoother and snappier for a host of reasons - the main one being optimization of the interactive governor with power hal. using any other governor with these builds may cause problems. q is working on 3.0 kernel now

+1 to that. JB with custom kernel runs about as smooth as CM7 ports from back before Quarx supported the Bravo. The only real issue is the capacitive buttons. So far all I've done is grazed over the keylayout files, but they seemed to be the same as CM7 Defy keylayout. Enabling the virtual keys helps, but I'd like to figure out a real fix.
For the fun of it, I attempted to boot CM7 with the custom kernel, didn't work.
Have a working Defy CM7 1104 port (yesterday), bare bones works just fine, but one of PmR's tweaks killed the wifi . Having issues rebuilding framework-res.apk for the animations and some ICS theme elements. Still want to add in PDroid. I'll upload the bare bones rom later today if its wanted.
//Stash was taken cause I fell over the ottoman and it came out of my pocket. Only ever been tested for work; I've passed all but one, they called me for an interview WHILE I was smoking. Did every trick I knew and failed it. If I knew I wasn't going to be watched (first test at that place) I'd have brought clean pee with me. Medicinal MMJ on the ballot tomorrow, hopefully it'll pass since all my smoking anymore is for medicinal reasons -- a single bowl during the day (keeps me from being mean -- being an ass is a family trait of mine) and a bowl or two at night before bed to help me sleep -- once I turned 13 I started to get sleep issues to the point to where I would stay awake for 2-3 days at a time (insomnia sucks). I could take some happy pills and sleeping pills, but pills suck (most pill overdoses are from the chemical that holds the pill together, not the chemical that gets you high or whatever -- read about it, pills are evil). I didn't even take my pain pills from my last 2 breaks (left hand bone below pinky and tailbone) since they didn't even help.
i came back to see how my old phone's forum was doing and how much i miss that close relationship with the devs...and somewhere in that journey...
a **** arkansas!

Interactive gov works great, but it does have one bug -- its hard-coded with a max rate of 1Ghz. If you set vsel4 higher than 1Ghz it will bootloop. Switching to boosted allowed me to boot with 300\600\900\1200. Not sure if Quarx knows or not...not many of us OC over 1Ghz. Interactive needs either some tweak settings in the bootmenu or a script that will take the max vsel rate and apply that to interactive's max rate settings....but I just finished syncing with the repos so its time to start a Bravo build .
Huh that's weird. I've been running 1.1 ghz at vsel4 with all the 2nd boot builds.

That is weird, gonna set it to interactive real quick --- booted up and working just fine....I OC'd to 3\6\9\12 and bootlooped 3 times in a row, set to 3\6\9\10 and booted, set to 3/6/9/12 and bootlooped, changed to boosted and booted just fine, just now changed back to interactive and it boots....sigh.
Hi, I had to create this topic outta utter frustration and annoyance. Well my device was having a charging problem (it was taking long time to charge) and I submitted it to the nearest service center here (Divine Electro Solution, Calcutta, India) on 14th this month. Next day they called me and said the charger is the culprit (but they wasn't sure about that!) and they'll replace it. So I went to take my phone on last Saturday and they handed me the device with the new charging adapter (they didn't change the cable). As soon as I looked at the phone I was . The main screen had at least 6 or 7 very prominent scratches, kind of things which could be only done by keys, or razors, that if you scratch them pretty badly on the screen. I said what have you guys done to the screen? They said, they don't know! They sent the phone to head office and they might have done that. They were pretty sure that I would take the phone, but I wasn't gonna, why would I accept a scratched device while I gave them an almost brand new and shiny one? Anyway, they said I will get it back on Monday, with the front LCD replaced (or the glass maybe), so today I called them and they said there is no spare parts available and they don't know how long would it take. This annoyed me. Well it's not that I've given them a scratched one and they could take all the time on earth, it's their damn responsibility. Anyway, I asked how long could it take and said to do it asap, but they said, they can't tell me any time frame and I could take my device back as it is now and come back when the LCD/glass is available to replace it. Well I am not doing that, because I know as soon as they give me the device they will not hold any sort of interest for any further process. So I didn't take it.
I emailed this incident to the complaint section of Samsung, sent the same copy to Executive board too, and got a reply also, saying,
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your concern and also to inform that the same has been highlighted to the Executive Escalation Team( CEO's Desk).

Well I don't know if they will do anything or not, I sent the mail on Saturday and till today they didn't contact my local SC or HO that's for sure. There isn't a helpline number in their website where I could reach them and tell my issue.
Anyway, what you guys think I should do? Should I just wait more or do something? It's been a week now they are holding the device, and don't know for how long more they have intended to!
Thanks in advance.
PS: Forgot to say how stupid these SC guys are, they told me on Sat after giving me the new charger that this phone should take 5 hours if not more to charge completely, as it has a bigger battery. I, just to make sure they were complete stupids and brainless asked, how big is the battery? They said, it has 2500 mAh battery and a 2A charger should charge it in 5 hours :laugh:
I never had a pathetic experience like this with any brand previously, be it Nokia, hTC or Apple.
Thats cos samsung are noobs stick t0 google.or.htc in my opinion although the note 2 is best on market

I can understand your frustration. There will be an officer for every city to check whether the service centre guys or behaving properly or not. Better get hold of that guy. Anyway you have contacted the executive section right, tell them you will accept the phone only if they provide brand new or replace the screen including glass. Otherwise you can sue them in consumer court and claim more damages more than 1 lakh. Better wait for the new piece.

Well Android is NOT my cup of tea, and I dislike those Nexus phones very much, I just can't stand the Stock Android feel. That's why I purchased the Note 2, but if I had known the after sales service is this terrible, then I would never buy it.

Well I am talking with 'that' guy from day 1 and what amuses me that a section manager knows nothing about Note 2! He keeps saying it's a new device, no one knows much about it! I mean in what earth a more than 7-8 weeks old device is 'new' device. His and his total groups lack of knowledge amaze me.
Update: At 10 am today I got a call from Samsung HO and they made a conference call and connected me with that guy with whom I was talking from very first. Same crap he said again, unknown period of time due to lack of parts availability. Nonsense.
So this is their solution, I think they just found a new feature in phones, and that is conference calling.
I am so ashamed. Ashamed on myself, that I purchased this phone.

You should be asking for a replacement phone, not for repairs. It takes the whole 'we dont have parts available' issue out of the argument. This is their error, not yours. Insist on a new device.
Tell them if you don't have the parts, replace the phone.

I would DEMAND a new phone!
only iphone has a total replacement policy n thus the price:
well i had a camera issue with note 1 on the very first week,i hd rooted the phone but helpfully(xda) there was unroot,n i gave the phone to the service centre it took them 7 days to replace my front camera,but all was well,and yes availability of parts for a newly released device is hard.the person who inspected my device said front camera is only for video chatting that was the noobest reply i got,have a patient i hv a gult feeling ur problem will be solved.and as far as htc n google are concerned there have very small bussiness foot print in india,so samsung is a good choice for indians
I had huge bubbles under the gorilla glass so i gave it to sabsonic service center ( kolkata ).it was a 1 week old set with 0 scratches.they replaced the display and added more or less 5 scratches to screen and 15-20 scratches on back cover ( yeah back is ruined ) and few dents to the metal lining on sides.i asked them for an explanation,they said they dunno about it. if your issue is resolved,kindly update here.
I second you telling them to give you a new device. Either they fix it now, or they give you a new phone and you'll give back the parts. It's unacceptable that THEY mess up your phone and give it back, and then don't have the parts to change it... Fine... It's a new device, no new parts yet, but then give you a new phone to replace the busted up one!
You went in for a new CHARGER
and now you have to walk out with a NEW PHONE because THEY messed up!

I called them yesterday and they said come and see, we have changed the 'Gorilla Glass' (the pronunciation made me laugh hard), see if you are satisfied. I went and checked the screen thoroughly and there was NO scratch and they indeed changed the front glass. But yea, there were two or three small dents at the metallic border, and the back cover is scratched as well, but this isn't my iP5, so I didn't give a damn at that plastic.
But for the issue I submitted the device, that was long charging problem, it is NOT resolved. Device is still taking same time like before. Now I am gonna try with a different charger or cable, and if it's not good I will ask them to replace the device.
One thing I did learn, these service center guys should go back to school and learn ABCD first, but I doubt that, because I don't think they have any better IQ than Forrest Gump.
i talked with them regarding exchange, they said " sorry we don't do that, we only replace faulty parts "
So, this is one of the post where a "user" rants!
Well, I am a software engineer, bought a defy this august thinking that it will be a cool experience after samsung galaxy ace got messed in rain.
I needed something robust. Well, then i invested in defy.
Phone went fine till september when it started giving issue with data cable, never detected my PC. 22nd October i gave it to service center.
Amazingly they give it to me after 2 months on 13 december, Well, better late than never as they say. I happily went back with my phone. Next day in office phone starts rebooting at random and my 3g signal just looks like barely coming in. Tested sim card on a galaxy and network was good. After a lot of research turns out that hardware is faulty, though earlier my phone used to be amazing at 3g.
While checking hardware turns out to be IMEI is different than what i gave and i was not even notified when receiving. Great move. Never mind, called back customer care again and they ask for minimum 20+ days time. Which is again great.
Thought of selling it to shop for atleast 60 USD or roughly 3000 INR. Bought it for 13000 INR. The shopkeeper says that box and bill has a different IMEI and he cant buy it for me, unless its free.
Just dropped motorola a mail
"So, here is my introduction.
I am a customer who buys a defy in august. A month later the usb starts giving an issue, in october i give it to service center, and in december first week i get it back. 2 months? really? and when i take it back to home, turns out that IMEI is different, and my phone just randomly reboots now. Alright, you guys gonna fix.. but well guess what, Service says 20+ days expected time... really? After all this i really wanted to go for a consumer court case, but i really pity how the things are being handled. You want my IMEI.. but which IMEI? thanks to you guys i have TWO IMEIs .. Point of my mail is not to get a solution, coz after all these months i know motorola wont have a solution for me. But Just saying that stay this way and whatever is left of in India .. of present or the future.. none willl ever trust motorola. Know the worst thing? I cant even sell my phone as my box and bill has a different IMEI. Thanks a lot motorola."
I have all valid ground to sue them, but dont want to. Rather i cant. I dont have time to get into this, as i start at morning 8 for office and its usually late when im back. Instead of getting 13000 Rs handset refunded, while loosing thousands a day by not being involved in office doesnt sound fair. Rather taking it as an "accident" that i stumbled across motorola.
Purpose of mail : NOTHING...
Just felt like ranting a bit. Nothing more, am right now sitting in my room with a sony xperia J. Nice display and good battery (though not amazing hardware but am an adventurer, not a power user, I need battery). For performance i use my laptop
While the time i was here in defy community it was good. Enjoyed a lot of custom roms. Quarx's and walter79's work always amazed me.
Anyways, time to switch to xperia community now.
Seems unbelievable that you got two faulty devices in a row... Me and my brother have both got DEFY+'s and both are working perfectly fine (never had battery drops on any ROM, come alone some bigger failure). So... I don't know, I'm just sorry that you had such a bad experience when Moto's are one of the most endurable phones (not talking just about the DEFY's now). In my experience and knowledge they are at least.
Oh, nevermind, I don't want to turn this into a Moto-fans vs others thread, just saying
I'm glad that you've enjoyed our community!
yeah, quite unlucky of me, but more bad was the service they gave to me. Got defy plus after a lot of research and reviews from actual owners. But seriously, motorola needs to learn. If the thing doesn't get sold, i can use it as a navigator (doesnt reboot when data is off) and fix it on my motorcycle.
It's so unlucky man. Because Defy is such a 'slave' mobile phone that you can put it to hell and can see it's still working. I'm using Defy for more than 1 year now and you don't know how roughly I'm using it. I'm from the southern part of India and you can guess the lifestyle here. This mobile has survived the dusty climate of Tamil Nadu, the pouring monsoon of Kerala and my software experiments with this poor soul, oh my god if not Defy, it would have screamed! I have tested every custom ROMs available for Defy here and it hasn't shown any rejection to any of them whatsoever. No problems with any of the hardware including speakers, display etc. In fact I'm going to try another ROM just after posting this. :cyclops: It is such a reliable machine and what happened to you may be one in a million.
well, all I want to say I would to love to take up your case against the company
I'll take up this one for free just for you all you need to do is sit back and give me the details i'll handle rest of it
P.S: I'll take 40% of of the compensation awarded
This thread goes to nowhere.
Closed.
Hey anyone still using this bad boy? My screens got some cracks. Anywhere in Australia can get it fixed? Awesome tablet.
I still have it but do not use it too often, just keeping it updated and sometimes play some retro games on it.
Still use it everyday. Bought a Brand New Google Keyboard Cover on eBay a few months ago for real cheap (like $45 lol) and now it's even better. Typing this message on it now.
Thinking of doing a factor reset and starting fresh, but not sure what that would gain me.
I just picked one up used with a keyboard so I will be using it for the foreseeable future. What's the best ROM and kernel?
Use it every day, all day. It's my main Android device. Love it and don't see anything else I'd rather have.
I use it every day. Sometimes a lot. As it ages I have become annoyed that my system decided my battery is ruined and so it throttles the SOC pretty badly below ~80% charge and replacement parts are not really available but other than that it's been pretty good to me. I went through 2 magnetic keyboards and both had terrible key repeating problems but I happened to find the folio keyboard at a thrift store and it's been solid ever since. Wish it had GPS, haptics, better touch screen, and exposed more of its hardware to the /sys folder so I could tweak more things with root but that's the ChromeOS blood showing.
Next time I'll go for max storage though. 32gig was a mistake.

Hey I have the same problem. Been using it for 2-3 years and screen cracks have appeared - don't know how actually. Not found anywhere you can find to repair, regrettably. :crying:
i used mine mostly daily for basic stuff. I have a pixel slate and honestly prefer this. I personally have out I dislike ChromeOS and prefer android. I think its way more versatile.
Use mine all the time. Almost don't use my laptop anymore. Even do word processing on it, Microsoft Word for Android, great program. Very lightweight, comfortable to put on lap, and easily transportable. Not an expert, but as far as I can tell best device that I've noticed even today. Not sure what I'll do when these get too old. Still getting updates from Google. Don't understand how this device didn't get popular. The Google colored line probably should have been in the shape of a G. Hard to tell what brand it is so losing advertising at coffee shops. Search key on keyboard not necessary. Should have been another key, like caps lock. Delete button would have been nice. Has some problems, but overall very nice device and should have been developed. No demand for it I guess for whatever reasons.
I also use mine all the time. Most of the time for basic things like Netflix, reading/annotating pdfs, reading ect. But sometimes also for multitasking, like code reviews and stuff. The best tablet I ever used!
Of course. Nearly every day.
I still use it, bought it as soon as released.

Mine is around 70% ... Nothing to do to avoid that ?

So far as I know a new battery is the only way out of this problem.* Apparently they are out there on the internet to buy. But it looks like the repair is pretty challenging to pull off without breaking the screen.
*Maybe a root solution could be cooked up but the Pixel C does not conform to most other Android systems so pre existing solutions don't often work well.
