Motorola Defy :: Gorilla Glass Is VERY Fragile
Jun 28, 2011
First time the phone dropped out of my pocket, while sitting in a chair. The glass cracked! It was about a 2 ft fall onto laminate flooring!I bought this phone for all of it's high durability ratings - first test (and a minor one) and the phone failed! Spoke with some chat representative through the website who said any physical damage was not covered - she even said it SHOULD have withstood a minor impact like that but was unwilling to help in anyway.The only bright side is the crack is close to the corner, so it doesn't impact the touch screen much - but it will be a long 2 year contract like this...

I mistakenly assumed the E7 having Gorilla glass also after the big N8 promo. Do not use the handset without a screen protector. Even a soft object will ruin the screen surface.

I just want to know if iPhone 4S has Corning Gorilla Glass with Oleophobic coating?I am sure about the oleophobic coating that it has but if it does have the corning gorilla glass as some website mention.I am using 4S and I like to know if my phone needs a case or it can handle slight bumps and falls?

Is anybody noticing that the ZAGG invisibleshield film material doesn't stick worth a damn to the Gorilla Glass on the front and back of the new iP4? The edges peel and the corners lift up and eventually peel back.I've ordered my warranty replacement set from ZAGG already, but the customer service lady tipped me that I am not nearly the first person to call in with the same complaints. Obviously it's either the glass "slickness" or the coating on the said glass that's the culprit.

My phone has multiple resets ad the direction of Motorola, and has been in for a circuit board replacement.Now the screen still freezes and the reception is hopeless.I am sure this handset is a lemon.It is still under warranty, 11 months old.

setting up auto-fetching applies to all email accounts. I swear on my 2.1 Spice XT300, the auto-retrieval was by email address (and also the smallest interval between fetches was 5 minutes, not 15 like on the Defy). I have never used 2.1 on the Defy; mine was original 2.2.1.

I updated to Froyo via Motorola website but it hasn't worked. My phone still shows firmware 2.1.1. Tried to update again via Motorola website but it now tells me that there are no updates for my phone.....I presume that it somehow detects that my phone previously downloaded froyo update.

My Defy is denied application on the market with no reason that I understand.Some apps are not visible from the phone, and are said "non compatible" from the market website. Sometime the website talks of country restriction while they should not be.

I have had my defy now for a few months, and I have been pretty happy with it (babyproof smartphone!)Unfortunately, its becoming more and more unreliable, and am having to reboot it regularly.This weekend is the worst. Here are some of the things it is doing:
all apps keep freezing and crashing (no fancy apps, mostly use it for twitter, facebook etc).phone keeps freezing and being unresponsible on the home screen keep getting an 'emergency calls only' notification, which then clears straight away when i go into notifications.mms photos - both sent and received take up to 5 days to be visible. until then they are just flagged as 'downloading'. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't take 5 days to download a 27kb file.After rebooting, I did have a gmail widget require a forced close immediately. I was never using that widget anyway, and couldn't see it, so I uninstalled it. Now on rebooting I have to force close Google Services Framework. I have decided that looks reasonably important and useful and have declined to uninstall that so far.

Well I already know that the left corner of my iPhone is fragile and I hate cases so I've gotten used to not touching that corner ^_^ doesn't seem big of a deal just annoyed me first couple days or so. Here's an example of me when let's say I take a pic I don't touch that corner at all, anyone used to not holding it wrong anymore?

I'd purchased a Motorola Xoom FE in BestBuy last november but it comes with a little black spot. At first I'd tried to clean it wiping the surface with a smooth cloth but then I'd realized that the dirt is located under the glass. I mean: between the glass and the surface of the LCD screen. It's not a big spot but it surely could be a little annoying, once that my eyes can't avoid to notice it.

I just replaced a glass screen on my father's Motorola Xoom with the 4G LTE upgrade. Total cost was $101 and about two hours of time. The Xoom was dropped on a tile floor and had multiple cracks in the glass, but was still functional. Just want all you fellow Xoom owners to know it can be done yourself if you have at least a bit of skills (and a hair dryer).

I have a Droid Bionic and recently broke the camera glass cover. An online site is selling the Atrix 2 cover for $9 versus $35 for the whole Bionic assembly. What I don't know is the size of the atrix camera covering. The Bbionic looks to be about 7/16" square with slightly rounded corners.

Does anyone know how to replace the touch screen glass? I bout a replacement, but am not getting any support from the company I bought it from. Most of the phone is apart. I just can't get the phone itself and screen seperated at the rotary hinge.

I have had my 9700. I just noticed today that the sliver pieces that separate each row of keys are fragile. I have one piece that is totally broken on both sides under the Talk and End button, another broken one under the Q and the lower left one below the Z key. On all of them but bottom one, they were originally hard to see. Not sure how I found them but upon closer inspection, more and more were broken. The bottom one actually sticks up some.
My only concern is that they are going to get worse and totally break off and then free for all on dust and dirt in actual keyboard. These silver strips look real cheap. Anyone else have broken ones in their keyboard? How have you solved the issue? Can they easliy replace just the keyboard at the tech center? I have seen OEM keyboards for sale too but not sure I want to try that myself. I am going to call At&t but not sure if they will do a warranty swap for this. My wife has the same phone and hers are all fine and intact. I think parts of this phone were made on a budget. Bad design with the keyboard.

I've just about given up trying to update my Defy which I've owned as a sim free unit since Jan 2011. I am running it with a UK o2 pay as you go. Is the 2.2 update coming out?

that my Defy is downlading data only over 3G though I have the WLAN connected. It starts its download with WLAN, and after 30 seconds, when the screen is off, it starts or continues the download over 3G and is eating my Data Package.
If I keep the Screen ON, from the Display settings, it uses the WLAN, but as soon as the screen is off it uses the 3G.

I cant seem to figure out how to update to 2.2. I have an unlocked Defy in the U.S. with AT&T. When I do system update it sais it is current. If I try to update through motorola it directs me to the t-mobile update. How do I get a stand alone download file to update my Defy to android 2.2?

My Defy+ only lasts for 2 days, even without actually using it (only standby and 2G network). The screen is always off. This is nowhere near the 384h as advertised. probably need to take it back to the shop but I wanted to ask if it can be fixed easily.

I just have three quick questions I hope you can direct me to links or previous posts on: How do you back up your defy phone completely ahead of upgrading the o.s. software? Where is the information/instructions/download for upgrading from Android 2.1 to 2.2? How do you root the Defy and what exactly does the process do and involve as well as solve? Stability Issues? Crashes? Software glitches and hangs?

I have a problem with my Motorola Defy. is almost new, and the battery is charging only 84%. On the forum I read that I need to flash new firmware. My version is 4.5.1_128 (UK). Where can I download the official software for my phone to flash by RSD Lite?

I bought a car dock (TrailBlazer Advanced Pro Universal Car Charger and Holder [URL] for my Defy that goes into the cigarette lighter socket and the Defy sits in it and you can connect it to the power.Unfortunately the Defy doesn't charge when connected, and it often says to even unplug it! It makes no difference whether I have it connected or not because it eventually runs out of power and the battery is flat.Is there something I am doing wrong? I am also unsure how I did it but apparently there is a car dock mode for the Defy? I'm being a bit lazy and haven't read the manual on this but how exactly do you put it into car dock mode and will it charge when in this mode?
I am going to try and troubleshoot whether this is an issue with the Defy or Car Dock. I know it can't be the socket because I have a separate small 80w inverter and that will charge the Defy when connected to that with its main plug. Unfortunately I can't use the dock and the small inverter at the same time.I have also tried using both the small tip connector and the usb connector when plugging it into the Trailblazer holder/charger but it makes no difference it still runs out of ju ju. I think there has only been a couple of times out of ten or twenty attempts when I have managed to get it charging from the trailblazer - I'm not sure how I did it but that was after it had run out of juice and I still had no indication that it was charging or anything.

I want to know why there are no plans to update the DEFY from 2.2 to 2.3
Obviously the phone can handle it, and it will most likely be better then the buggy OS that 2.2 is already. Does anyone else agree that they should have their DEFY updated??

My new Motorola Defy is great. However: When I send or receive text messages it converts all capital B's in the text to an emoticon. Quite annoying!
