![]() Like phamilyman said, it may be a one off case. I did not want to go through the service hassle again so bid goodbye to moto once and for all. Hope your experience is enjoyable with the brand. Of course, the build quality of the Defy+ is fantastic and thats what i loved in the phone and bought it within a week of seeing it. Sadly it wasn't meant to be :( Last edited by n_aditya : 27th April 2012 at 11:36. | |

Chill. No Apologies needed. You did what anyone would do who has been through that. There was no mis guidance here. I went ahead and got my Defy+ today morning. Fone seems perfect. getting used to it. Setup was easy. I have decided not to perform any rooting / custom roms on it. Use it as it is. Will keep posting my doubts / queries / experiences here time to time. Thanks to phamilyman, offroad_maniac, Samurai & all others for their valuable feedbacks. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I don't know whether this was discussed before, but Intel has its foot in the door. Guess what, the first meidfield phone is launched in India, by Lava 22K and it beats the Galaxy S2 in many benchmarks. I expect some teething troubles, but later when motorola and others come out with phone based on x86 arcitechture, things will be much better Here is the anandtech review AnandTech - Lava Xolo X900 Review - The First Intel Medfield Phone |

| ![]() I just upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Ace firmware to GINGERBREAD.DDKQ8, Android version : 2.3.6. But now, Samsung Kies isn't working. I read on some forum that Kies will not work on 2.3.6. So, how do I transfer data?! |

I tried navigation and google maps on my Galaxy Ace+ but it says Google Maps Navigation not available for this location (Blore) and suggests i use directions which are not voice guided. Experts, any pointers please? | |

There used to be a call end bug in the windows phone series but i faced it initially. After the update evrything seems pretty fine. In case you do opt for 710 then go for the recently manufactured one with all the latest updates. Personally i feel Metro UI is far ahead on looks and function department in comparison to Samsungs TouchWiz UI. If only I had it on my note ![]() Pros for lumia 710: Metro UI, Live tiles, easy facebook photo tag and upload, easy contacts transfer from previous nokia phones, 1.4ghz Qualcomm processor with 512mb ram v/s Ace's 800mhz and 256mb ram. Plus Nokia drive with turn by turn voice navigation Cons for lumia 710: lack of bluetooth file transfer, songs can only be downloaded using extra apps such as easy ringtone. Better to stick to download on pc and then transfer to phone via zune. Only 8gb memory and non expandable Pros for any android phone: expandable memory, bluetooth file transfer, lots of apps(but now even windoes phone has most of those apps) Phones you can look into within your price range:- Galaxy Ace+, Htc wildfire S, sony ericson neoV, samsung omnia W(superAMOLED screen vs lumia 710s Lcd) and if you could increase till 18k, id suggest you look no further than Htc One V. Flipkart is currently also giving 16gb memory card free with it. Try to avoid blackberry if you can even though their service centers are very good. Samsung wave 3 is also a good contender even though its not android. Nokia symbian phones will be out of date pretty soon with Nokia trying to kill that OS. Windowsphone and Android is the way to go these days P.s another member Shankar.balan sir also has the lumia 710. You may ask him about his experience with the phone.

Alternatively,If samsung Kies with pc isnt working, try using the kies air application in case youve a wifi router at home. Kies will then connect to your pc via wifi and you can transfer files easily. I am using this method ever since i discovered it ![]() | |

When I connect the phone and start Kies, it shows a connection error. When I uncheck USB Debugging in Development under Applications menu, Kies tries to search for manner. And then immediately, the USB Debugging is automatically checked. I have no business with Kies actually; just need to restore the contacts :P Also, for some reason I can't see my phone in my computer. Last edited by libranof1987 : 27th April 2012 at 18:10. | |

I did the following: 1. Went to device manager in My computer properties 2. Deleted the Usb device that corresponded to my Galaxy Note. It showed up as USB mass storage device. 3. Uninstalled Kies. 4. Restarted my computer 5. Connected my phone and checked if it was getting detected. Showed up on My computer as a pendrive. Was able to transfer files. 6. Reinstalled Kies and rebooted laptop. 7. Now restarted Kies. There was an option to connect device. Selected that and Kies attempted to connect to my phone. 8. Connection successful. BTW have you updated Kies on your pc too? If not then please get the latest version as along with the update for phones a newer kies for pc was also released. 9. Discovered Kies Air. Fell in love with it. Bye bye to Kies for the pc. Hope this helps. Or else email the contacts file that you backed up on your pc to the email account you have synced on your phone. P.s try to resolve the connection issues from the kies on pc. It has a separate tool that says " Solve connection issues" whenever you get connection error it shows that option in the same dialog box.
