Motorola Defy :: No Twitter Profile Image Update With It And Motoblur
Sep 20, 2011
It seems every time a contact on my twitter account changes its profile picture, Motoblur simply do not show it anymore neither on the widget or the Motoblur app that the widget calls. In place of the precedent picture I then get the gray generic anonymous shadow. I'm not sure it is froyo related, but it sure started after the upgrade. I can imagine the issue coming from the Blur service on the servers and not from the phone itself.
I have an MB526 Defy+ UK retail version, branded by JCB.
It has system version 45.0.82.MB526.Retail.en.GB, Android version 2.3.4 If I go to UK support, I can see an updated version 45.0.125, Android version 2.3.5

However, on the phone, if I 'check for system updates', it reports the software is up to date.
Since I have an issue with the software, I'd like to update it to check for a fix. I could probably use the USB updater, but is there some reason why the phone won't do it itself ?
My CLIQ is ready to go I think. I have had tons of issues, but this is the final straw. Now my facebook and twitter accounts don't appear on the phone anymore. I have added and removed the apps several times. I reinstalled the CLIQ software twice. But I can't fix the issue.
When I go to accounts, facebook and twitter are not listed. So I click on add an account, and the next screen tells me that both programs are already connected associated with my phone.
The status and happenings widgets don't recognize the accounts. I can't remove them. I can't add them. They are just in CLIQ limbo!
I thought I'd start a thread so that we'd have something else to discuss as well besides the Froyo upgrade.What do you think Motorola should do to improve Motoblur on the phone? Or if you don't use Motoblur, which home replacement do you use instead and why? I don't use MB. I use Go Launcher instead. I don't think MB is bad. It's just a matter of personal preference really, mainly because I prefer to have 5 icons in the dockbar and an drawer that scrolls horizontally page by page (how do you find what you want quickly vertically?). The other customisation options - 4x5 homescreens, 5x5 app drawer that can be rearranged, transitions and skins - are also great too.
I purchased motorola defy plus few days back and since that day i'm not able to create an account with "motoblur",I've an active data pack in my phone still no solution everytime i try to create one my phone says"An error Ocurred please try later",I'm currently in bangalore (India),my operator is vodafone.
I've had my Defy for a little more than a year...but I'm "stranger in a strange land" here in the forum, mostly because I'm neither techie nor anything close to a power user. But I do not use any of the Motoblur junk...and don't even want it on the phone. The only time I'm aware of it is when I check the list of running apps and see how many of them are Motoblur related. I'd love to be able to delete them, if only to get rid of the power drain they represent. Yet I suspect that Motorola has them all pretty much "hard wired" into the phone. Or is there some sort of less obvious, less intuitive way to get rid of the Motoblur news, weather and other crap?
My Motorola Defy w/o blur is not connecting to internet via USB to my PC. What could I do ? LAN and Modem settings are OK. Then why it is showing error 692 as "MODEM hardware error". Pls show me a solutio
I had recently purchased my first Android device, a Moto Defy+. This is not a carrier locked phone.
I use my gmail contacts as the default address book and when i signed up for Moto blur account, it somehow made a backup of all my gmail contacts on motoblur. Now, i can see the same contact details twice for every address book entry. During the backup process, motoblur deleted the leading zeros from all phone numbers. Even though gmail is my default address book, the phone picks up motoblur stored info while making calls - due to which I am now unable to make long distance calls from my phone unless i manually go and edit/delete the phone numbers from the motoblur section on the address book. needless to say, this is very irritating as i have over a 1000 contacts.
How do i delete all my contacts from the motoblur section? i do not really use the motoblur account for anything and if deleting the motoblur account is a solution, i'll be happy to do that. however, i do not want to do a factory setting restore.
I've had my DEFY for about three weeks now. Overall I've been very happy with the phone.The Social Networking app just stops updating at random. Rebooting the phone will get everything to update. But then a few hours later it will stop and I'll have to reboot the phone again.I understand that rebooting the phone every so often is a good thing to do. But, I don't want to reboot it several times a day just to update this app.
Everytime I try and add my LinkedIn account in MotoBlur, I get an error message "Error, An error has occured. Please try again." I can login just fine online. Anyone know what may be causing this?
Just want to know if there could be any other way in linking the contacts with my facebook account because there's no motoblur feature for defy here. Do i need to install a third party app to be able to link it?
My email was compromised and now I am drafting everything from that google mail account and moving to another. How can I change my motoblur login google email to another one?
Last week i had my Defy running UK T-Mobile Froyo suddenly stop being able to use Facebook or Twitter, despite other applications (HotUkDeals, Browser, Tesco ) all being able to connect to the net - it happened at the same time.I have since cleared the cache on both, uninstalled, re-installed, and all i keep getting when trying to login to FB is: "An error occurred during sign in" and on Twitter: "An error occured when signing in. Please try again later".
Is there a setting buried somewhere that might be causing this? Is it something like an SSL Cert becoming expired? Really annoyed by it as it means no FB messaging during the day.
My defy (Im in Australia) has just suddenly stopped taking photos. It goes through the motions and the flash still works and everything but when you goto the photo in the gallery its just a plain black image, there is no photo!
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.
I have a Motorola Admiral. I read on another forum that a profile update and PRL update could help with the data connectivity issues I've been having (3G does not work). I have tried both updates on numerous occasions and they have failed each time. The screen displays: "The PRL (or Profile) update failed. ErrorCode is NETWORK_ERROR".
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?
I just bought a defy+ a few days ago and am really happy with it.But my problem is i bougth it in germany with an german retail version of the motoblur (45.0.2310.MB526.Retail.en.DE), I live in denmark and want to change it to the scandinavian version.hen ever I try to download the scandinavian version to the device it tells me it already is up to date and their is no update available. How do i get around this problem and force it update to the scandinavian version.
I've had the phone for a few months now, and it has been somewhat unreliable since day one: random reboots among the many and various problems I've had come and go sporadically. Never got 'round to contacting any kind of support 'till now. I haven't rooted the device, installed any custom ROM etc. It's a retail model FWIW.
I've just used the msu utility to update to 2.2 and after finishing the update the phone won't boot. I see an M logo with an ominous red background, followed by Bootloader
09.10 Err:A5,69,35,00,2F Battery OK OK to Program Connect to USB Data Cable
I've tried holding the volume / power buttons at startup and it doesn't seem to make any difference.
After I was offered and updated to 2.3.6 I can not use data connection anymore. Also APN settings are not being saved and disappear. The customer support is silent on the subject for several days already. The Internet seems to be full of complaints from Germany users
I seem to be having the hardest time updating my defy from 2.1 to 2.2. Whenever I install the 2.2 update I see the android guy with a ! inside a triangle. I tried to upgdate my phone over 5 times and the same thing happens. Last night I decided to restore my phone to the factory settings and try to download and install the update again and no luck, same problem.
My phone is a Retail.De and after update (20-12-2011)I've done a factory reset to try to solve the APN problem. After that also the market is not working any more (server problem), I also tried a new reset and the last market build (3.4.4). So new update means APN and Market are not working.
After the update to 2.2.2 and after a hard reset, the phone takes a long time syncing my Google accounts e-mails. Is there a setting that i have missed ? I am on a 3G data plan. Before when a new e-mail was received in the Gmail inbox i instantly received a notification on my phone.
i am having lag after the update to froyo in 3d games .... over all other performance is gud but ...while playing the games it have glithches/ lag / run
I have just upgraded my defy with the latest software package, now my phone is completely black with only the notification bar working, I have tried a full factory default but this did not work.
the phone was fine and then I heard a noise and notived there was a black square with insatll now or later. I installed now and it showed a bar where the progress was.I did not touch the phone and I heard another noise and went to look at the phone.It was black and when i tried to give the pin, it said Sim card locked emergency calls only. The pin is correct.I turned it off and took the battery out and in again then turned it on, but it is still the same.The battery is at 60% so it is not that.Why would this be please? Did I install a virus? It looked just like the normal official updates.
