Once the charger is disconnected, a part of the battery is used, hence it has to go down to 99%. It stays at 100 only when it is charging.
Old news!!! There's nothing new that the Defy+ offers -- it runs at 1Ghz, the standard defy is underclocked to 800 Mhz, although with a CM7 Gingerbread 2.3.4 custom rom, it runs at 1ghz. The Defy+ comes with a stock gingerbread 2.3.3 rom and that too in september. Many people who own the defy here have been using gingerbread for over 3 months now.
I am going to flash my defy with CM7 RC1. But had a few queries.
1) Does GPS/google map work after the update?
2) Any Improvement on camera?

In my captivate running CM7 nightly, the 100% battery shows for a few minutes before reducing to 99. Sometimes it stays in 100% for a 15 minutes and reduces to 98. But never reduces immediately after removing the charger.
Sorry if it is wrong to post this as this is Defy only thread.

Do a calibration. In my opinion, logically it cannot stay at 100 if it is not charging.
I want the default Motorola theme that came with the phone by default. I am using the default theme with CM7 rc1 v2. Can anyone link me to it?
Hey, got a few doubts..
1) Will I be able to flash Nordic from by current build of SEA froyo, as the build no is lower from mine.
2) Also, if I install clockworkmod, and take a Nand backup of the current state of the phone for backup, wont it be rooted? How does one claim warranty then? Flash a full Sbf and not a fixed one + Nandroid?
3) What would be the best nightly (cm7) to flash to? Looking for good battery and wifi.. Camera not to important although my device has the Bayer module.
Thanks
It depends on your luck.. The older devices would come with the green lens.. Some people have got red lens ones in the Jan manufactured batch, while some have got the green lens one from the April batch..
Btw, what maters more than the lens colour, is the module.. SOC or Bayer.. Red lens doesn't necessarily = Bayer module.. and vice-versa..

Cool!!! ""Detected Bayer Device"" :hap2::clap: . Thanks for the heads up mate!!!
To answer your questions,
1. I have done it. Flashed Indian Froyo, Flashed Nordic, Gone back to Indian so on..... I had the same initial doubts looking at the build no. But all seems to be fine, i am sure there are others here in TE who have done it too.
2. Just flash the full sbf. You dont need to do the Nandroid stuff. Please dont flash any of the 2.3.4 full SBF "ever" (i:e the leaked ones). You cant downgrade.
3. Flash the July 29 Boot179 nightly first and upgrade to a more recent version later on. I used July 29 Boot179 + July 31 Nightly for a couple of days and DAMN it was fast :clap:. Now in MIUI
, I cant stay in a same ROM for more than a week. NIGHTLY

Awesome!
Okay, Silly questions time.
Boot 179 or Boot SEA? From what I understand, 179 loads a CEE kernel or a Nordic one, while the SEA loads the SEA one? Any difference?
Procedure to flash is the same as in the FAQ? (First time ever!)
Root(SOC 2.1), 2ndInit Recovery Installer 1.4_2, then flash?
Gapps and then baseband switch?
its been close to 3 months of love with motorola. Now, I realise I need to upgrade my memory card fom puny 2 GB to 16 Gigs atleast. I have two questions
- What is the class of memory card I need to buy
- I already have the data on the memory card, will copying the data into the new card and swapping the same in the phone will work?
Thanks in anticipation of answers
