Have decided to hold on for a month or so. Hoping Samsung and others roll out androids with ICS soon for around 18k. | |

With a budget of around 18k, don't want to consider Defy+ which is virtually the same as Defy. | |

| ![]() Aren't you facing any problems with custom roms ? I am not able to recall from where, but i read that it compromises on a few features and stuff. It freezes, less battery life and so on and so forth. Above all loss of warranty. Last edited by karty_83 : 12th December 2011 at 18:31. |

The custom rom is much more stable and offers more features infact. Unfortunately there is too much content out there to read and understand. This makes the whole thing so overwhelming for the less technically inclined like us. All, in all, you won't lose anything (you can reload your stock ROM and reclaim your warranty if need be) by switching to custom roms. | |

| ![]() Hi all i am looking to buy a android phone and i am a nokia user from 2000.i dont have any idea on which phone is good in the market,but i know which brand is doing good. please suggest a phone for me,my priorities are GOOD battery life and easy to use interface I went to few shops and reviewed gsmarena but couldn come to a conclusion. some say htc wildfire/desire is best,some xperia arc and some say samsung galaxys/s2/plus and one said LG Optimus 2x has best battery backup. Am totally confused but i am clear that i will not buy LG. i do lots of calls , sms'es ,browse (including wifi)and need twitter and FB applications (guess they are available by default?) to give an idea in 2.5 years my 5800 has been used for 700 hours. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() guys I have bad news sgs2 users, there is a know issue where the phone goes into flight mode in the middle of the call, this is not a hardware issue and some online forums say it will be fixed by a firmware upgrade. This issue is very intermittent and cannot be replicated in front of the samsung techs, this started recently after i used the flight mode once for some time. the samsung techs are saying they will first flash the rom then will replace the main board if things are still bad. So i suggest you guys wait till the ICS 4.0 comes out, hope these bugs are sorted out. Pramod |

There are two things - a. stable custom ROMs b. nightly (test) builds. If you use the latter, then occasionally you may have issues. with CM7 defy there was rarely such an issue (only wifi was unstable in some builds). if u install the stable builds, there's no such issue. if u read what everyone's said - reinstalling OEM software = 10min job. Bang - there's your warranty. Quote:
plus this whole gen1/2 business is scary. thankfully defy has it rather simple ![]() | ||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Anyone tried their hands on removing a network lock? I have an Xperia X8 with me which is locked to some network in the UK. Any recommended methods, tools? |
