motorola defy

Please help me to unlock the bootloader on my DEFY, so I can install CM 7.1, or another ROM. When I try and flash the ROM, I get the android symbol and an exclamatiom mark underneath it. I assume it is because I have a locked bootloader. Thanks, HalfAnAndroid

I update all my contacts on my Defy & then once in the blue moon sync them to Google Contacts. I never had a problem 'til a recent attempt. On connecting the Droid to my pc with a USB cable, I then opened up Google Contacts. I then went to "Accounts" & marked agree tick/check against "Sync...

Hi Searched and didn't find an answer. My Motorola Defy occasionally reboots itself, maybe one a week that I know of. Only noticed when off the charger, never when I'm using it. Any ideas? Thanks

Is there any way I can use my SD card as extra RAM, because 512 MB isn't enough, much like Readyboost on Windblows.

Hi, Just got the Defy+ after my HTC Desire died. I read about MotorBlur's horribleness and I don't use any social networking (no friends) so I cancelled the setup. Now I have a perfectly fine phone, quite happy with it. I might in future want a firmware update, it says I can't get that without...

About to buy a Defy, I want to know how the locked bootloader affects its modding capabilities for now and in future. I see CM7.1 supports it, and though the rooting and flashing takes a few more steps than unlocked phones, it is very much doable. But what about CM9 and beyond? Will we not...

Hey. Is there any way I can get rid of Blur? I have nothing against blur, I just want to try out a Vanila ROM. I am unable to root my phone, I have tried SuperOneClick, ADB, Z4root, etc. but still no luck. HalfAnAndroid

I recently updated my phone to FroYo, and whenever I take a photo it comes out blank. I know the camera actually works, because I can video fine. I just want to know if anyone else has this problem, so I know if it is a hardware or software fault. Other than that, my phone works fine. Not...

I'm wondering if there's a way to change the settings on the alarm clock to lock the touch screen after touching it to "snooze". I'm paranoid that I'm going to end up dialing someone at 3:30 AM, since most people don't like being called at 3:30 AM!

I am sorry if this question has already been answered. I have tried to root my phone in many ways. I have tried Z4root, Superoneclick and Universal Androot. Adb can't see my phone when I plug it in either - with or without USB debugging. I really want to root my phone to overclock it, remove...

Hi, I have a Motorola DEFY with Android 2.2.1 My call log tells me I made a call "3 hours ago" or "yesterday" or received call from Stan "3 days ago." WTF!! I want to know the damn time and date the call was made or received! I've searched the net and the market and see no easy solution. I...

Just recently my Defy keeps connecting to random BT-FON networks rather than the house WiFi. Any ideas why this is and how I can prevent it. In case it's relevant, I have Wi-Fi Finder and WiFi Manager apps.

I have had the "Advanced Task Killer" installed on my Motorola Defy since I first got it about 6 months ago. The other day I installed "Mobo Task Killer" which seems pretty good but I wondered if I have to keep both Apps running or should I remove one or the other ? Any advice out there...

I have searched the net far and wide, done all the suggested things to accomodate for the Defy, but it just keeps on messing up my 3com router. I have an android tablet which does not mess it up, so it is specifically the Defy settings which make the router crash. Any suggestions to make the...
