[Q] 720p encoding

Has anybody yet hacked the DEFY to expose this supported capability ?

Sorry but allegedly, it is not supported.
Hardware limitations.

Wouldent it be limited just by the CPU support? If its the 3630, then it would support 720p
focus.ti. com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12836&contentId=52606
delete the space between ti. and com for the url to work. Cause im new I cant post URLs :\

Isn't 100% sure... can be a 3630 or 3610 ( with GPU )
In my opinion, motorola created a massive production 3630 is cheaper than make 1m 3610 ( with gpu ) and 1m more 3630...
And declarated as an 3610 processor to sell more Droid2/X.
It's a simply market strategy.
If a developer knows if defy have a 3630 processor and can record 720P ( if no camera limitations ), can be good as droid2/x and of course the price as much better.
the defy processor overclocks the same a DROID 2/X with the same Vsel, and the Scores are the same too...
Please gutting the phone once to clarify this...
PD: excuse my ****ing bad english.

Looking at some public motorola source code, it does support 720p. It just seems to be commented all over the place.
Also early DEFY testers got roms with 720p support ...

I think defy with 720P will be great! the defy camera quality it's amazing on android 2.1, and with froyo i supose will be AHhh!!!!!

Doesn't seem to be a huge amount of support for the phone in this forum. Not the worst mind you. Amazing phone I wish more hackers and chefs would give it a try.

Not sure about the defy camera. It's nowhere near as good as XT701 camera. Meant to be 5mp but average quality as soon as light drops.

That can be the driver, or Eclair version? THe defy's camera it's better than a loot of phones, incluiding, htc hd2, nexus one, desire, wave...etc
Maybe in low light conditions, it's bad, and with Android 2.1... i supose need an improvement

Defy's camera is bad, very bad. Nokia N95 and N97 are the two better mobile cameras I have seen. Omnia cam (my last phone) is too better than Defy's one. Luckily I don't use the mobile to take photos... because I bought a reflex looking for quality.

I do own a DSLR (Pentax K20 with an awesome 50-135mm lens). I do own a Camcorder (Samsung HMX-H204). I do own (well my wife and kiddos) various types of P&S cameras. I am a picture/image/video quality freak (by profession).
However if I want to take a quick snap while I'm out there an Skiing, then NOTHING beats the DEFY's camera. It's conveniant (as you have it with you to listen to music anyway). You take a quick clip, or snap a few pictures, and send it over to facebook right away from the slopes, so that the suckers at home can see it right away. Yes, I can get better shots with my DSLR, but that is carrying 2kg extra with me, and yes, I can get better video with the Camcorder, but that is not IP67 rated.
So conveniance wins. The only 2 nagging points for me are that the DEFY could do 720p, but it's not enabled, and that there is no way to set the JPEG quality in the camera app.

Yes, all true, but comparing defy's cam with other phones... no win xD

No' that's not 100% true, if can improve the camera compression, the quality will be 10 times better.
If i compare Samsung wave camera VS Defy = Defy Wins in good light conditions.

But compared with the three other phones I had, Defy loose.

You might want to try out "Camera 360" then, which allows you to adjust the compression. However for some reason it sucks up a huge amount of power.

If you are taking picture in whiteout conditions while snowing, the DEFY wins. If you are out there and biking and it's raining cats and dogs, the DEFY wins.

Before I forget. 640x480 on the DEFY can get up to 3 mbit/sec (2.5 as I've seen in streams). The source implies that 1280x720 would be limited to 3 mbit/sec as well. That would probably impact the 720p quality substatially (or the frame-rate, as the "Droid X" only does 720p with 24 fps. So not sure whether it's desireable to have 720p ...

When it's raining, I don't go bike... Have you tried N95 or N97 camera?

HTC prepare a new Windows phone with a 16MPX !!

if that's real that bumps the specs to dual core...
8x60
dual core!
if that is really an htc commercial it looks rather fake but if it sports 16 mp that is a snapdragon 8x60 I think if it has a keyboard I may be sold

The first comment said it best on the YouTube page for that video: we don't need more mp, what we need are better lenses. Although I don't think with our current tech we can fit good enough ones into cell phones.

[Q] Confused between Motorola Defy and LG Optimus Black P970

Hi seniors,
I'm new to this forum. Just joined! I was a silent visitor to this forum since a long time. I didn't want to wait anymore. So, here I am!!
Guys, I badly need your suggestion to buy an Android smartphone. I love Motorola defy a lot, it falls under my budget and has a very good practical usability. However, I'm impressed with the LG Optimus Black P970 as well! I like the screen size, design and brightness of LG. Both devices have more or less same specs under the hood. I can overclock the defy to get 1GHz on par with LG.
So, what do I expect?
1. Budget under 20K (Indian Rupees)
2. Large screen
3. Decent hardware for fluid android experience
4. Nice cam for taking snaps and recording videos (720p preferred)
5. Good call quality and sound quality for music listening
6. Nice build for durability
7. Software update
8. Web browsing, navigation, emailing, document reading/editing, mobile presentation, and ip cams surveillance
9. Want to keep this phone for at least 3 years! (because I'm poor! )
10. Decent battery life
I'm a web application developer based in Bangalore, India. I'm planning to develop enterprise mobile applications for my customers. So, I need a good device to test and demo the applications to customers.
Please don't suggest me Samsung Galaxies or Waves or Aces. I don't know why but I hate them. May be the design I think.
The choice is between Defy and LG Optimus Black.
Please give your unbiased suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Defy Vs Lg optimus black
i think u better to go with lg optimus black

optimus black looks nice..specs are almost same..op black has 4 inch screen, 720p,official 2.3 and it looks nice also..rest all specs are same..but dere is 4k difference btw defy and optimus black..think!!

1. Budget under 20K (Indian Rupees)
Defy is cheaper
2. Large screen
Screen larger and brighter on LG (but the phone is bigger than Defy)
3. Decent hardware for fluid android experience
No much differences
4. Nice cam for taking snaps and recording videos (720p preferred)
LG can record 720p, Defy cannot
5. Good call quality and sound quality for music listening
Defy has better sound quality
6. Nice build for durability
No doubts, Defy wins here
7. Software update
Ouch, Motorola is a snail, LG is better
8. Web browsing, navigation, emailing, document reading/editing, mobile presentation, and ip cams surveillance
Nice for both devices
9. Want to keep this phone for at least 3 years! (because I'm poor! )
Absolutely Defy, it should be something like life-proof
10. Decent battery life
Defy should be slighty better
Personally, i like my Defy because it is a compact device with a big screen, no space wasted on the front side! Then it's dust/water resistant, performaces are not bad.
However, the hardware counterpart in the LG Optimus Black should be a bit better and, of course, the NOVA display too. Another thing you may want to consider (unlike the Defy) the LG has a frontal camera, 2mp (wow).
Now, i can't tell you what's the best for you, let us know what is your choice

I would also keep in mind the bad quality control issues on the defy, I know someone who bought 4 for his business about 3 months ago...all have to go in for the earpiece fault. Mine has been in for it, though I got mine before the production line issue was discovered.
Everyone I know with one has bad battery life on the stock Telstra Australian rom.
I got scratches on my screen in 3 days.
I get reboots quite often no matter what rom I have - I think it is q loose battery, I have jammed some paper in the case which seems to be working.
I have cracks on the bolts from dropping it numerous times- it is quite durable, but not as much as they make out.
I live the design and many aspects of the phone compared to my HTC desire , but I wouldn't buy or recommend a Motorola again.
Still, don't know if I would trust LG build quality either....

4k difference... that's what made me confused. Is it worth paying the extra 4k just for nova display, 4 inch screen, 2mp front cam, 720p recording out of the box and guaranteed official upgrade to gingerbread?

4. Nice cam for taking snaps and recording videos (720p preferred)
LG can record 720p, Defy cannot
Correction Defy can record 720p if you are lucky to get a red lense (Bayer). Check it with the retailer where you (if you go for the Defy) buy one. It does
not record 720p out of the box thats true you must do some tweaks by yourself if you are up for it. I can record 720p at 24fps on my red (bayer) lensed defy very well, allso on the stock camera app thx to walter ;-P.
2nd i would go for the optimus better support/upgrades then Moto will ever give you. But to pay allot more for the support.....
P.S. because of the price and durability and allready done experience with modding a motorola phone i chose the Defy.

Here in Bangalore, we get defy with red lens only (June manufactured) I'm too not scared to tweak the phone to bring out the full potential of the phone. What did you do to get 720p on defy? Do I need to flash custom roms to get that?
Please point me to the relevant post so that I can learn myself.

I am in Bombay and I got Defy with Green lens. It was manufactured in July 2011.

I'm not sure about July manufactured devices... When I last checked, it had red lens so that I thought we would get defy manufactured post June with red lens ... Sad, it seems that I have to be lucky to get one with red lens, if I want to go for defy...

Just used the Catlog method to find out about my lens .... woopie its Bayer!!!
so green+Bayer means I can use 720p recording on the ginger leaked rom right?
its just been around 5 days since I got it. Am already feelign the urge to root and install Wiui or CM7. Also for some reason.... after installing a few apps.. my phone has become slow....

well 18.5k is not much.i bought my defy for 17.2k two months ago..anyways optimus black looks fine..nice specs...although defy has its own advantages..
if u dont want to install any patch or something then optimus black is good..it has 720p recording..front cam and LG updates dere android mobiles regularly..even 2.3 update is available..
i think u should go for lg optimus black..
hmm...or defy ..
i like my defy..looks awesome and also very good support in this forum..one of the most active forum(moto defy) in xda..

With a 5k price difference, I would definitely go for a Defy.

If it is bayer and you want 720p video recording do not install CM7 as i have read in the CM7 forums it does not support 720p. Then i would suggest to install a nandroid and fixed sbf for a 2.3.4 original ROM.
(I myself recommend do not flash a full SBF but use a nandroid and a fixed SBF maybe others have a different opinion)

Ok, I am also interested in the Motoginger 2.3.4 ROm which is based on the leaked defy+ rom....
and I am going to do it the Nandroid + SBF way
one question: I am on stock 2.2.2 Froyo from Moto. MY phone came pre installed with the bug free SEA version. Got it a few days ago.
My question is to install a custom rom like 2.3.4, do I still have to do a Nandroid + fixed SBF flash or just fixed SBF? since Ialready have 2.2.2 installed.
that si my only doubt before I get started. Want to keep my downgradablillty.

yes..optimus black price will come down within a month according to a LG sales manager..but again..bottom line is u have to wait for a month or maybe 2!!
and within a month or 2 many more models will launch and again u will get confused.. new xperia series will be out this weekend..new mini pro, neo and all..so u may again get confused..so decide now only.

Lol can't agree more with you xD
Samsung's many 'features' are just a piece of bloatware,which more take space than Sony...for eg. My Xperia ion have default 16gb,with Sony's modification and partitions,I got 11.23gb for internal storage and 1.9gb for phone's memory...but for Samsung 16gb type,their internal storage that are available to use is only around 8gb due to bloatware

HTC cameras have better quality than the Xperia S'.. I did a comparison with an HTC one and my Xperia S..
I agree the Galaxy S3 cam is not as good as Sony's, but the main reason i want a port of it is for the real-time colour filters..
Any way i can get a replacement app with those features??

Well I hope the new phones are better than the lumia 920. Got rid of that phone after 1 day. The camera was awful. Photos look like paintings and the white balance is out to lunch. Sure it picked up alot of light in low light, zoom in to check the detail and its disgusting.
The N8 was and still is wicked good. The purview 808 is honestly not much better than the HTC One ultrapixel camera. I have hopes Nokia will soon get it right and ill easily jump to windows phone to have it.
Im not a fanboy of any company, as you can see in my sig ive owned htc, samsung, sony, lg, ive owned nokia and iphones as well.
I get phones, I test cameras and compare so I dont have to go online and do it. Thats where you will strongly be meeting fanboyism.
Right now, HTC One and iPhone 5 are killers. But Nokias new lumia is coming, ill be testing that.

Hi, I receive this phone couple days ago from now.

Tried to connect APPLE and XIAOMI earphones but not working correctly, only some buzzing sound with silent music somewhere far away... LCD screen has some vibration issues of lighting then looked with naked eye in white background.
Is it normal for all M9 smartphones? Or even this is normal for all other not known cheap CHINA brands? :/ Please explain and advise...
thank you...

Hello,
I am from Mauritius, I also bought same but it is been held by the custom since i should produce a Type Approval Certificate (TAC) from my local authority (ICTA).
Please can you help me, the ICTA guys is asking for the Type Allocation Code (also name TAC). this is obtained from the IMEI number, it is the first 8 digit. Don't worry its totally risk free and legal. The TAC is the identification of the phone, this will enable me to get the certificate from my local authority.
You may read on TAC on : type Allocation Code Wikipedia
ICTA application where it ask for TAC: ICTA website
Please help,
Thank you

were you able to make whatsapp to work on it, i bought the phone, seems great i installed everything else, everything works, i have a good wifi , 3g and 2g signals, everything working perfectly, and i cant get whatsapp to accept my number and work.
I wrote a letter to their support and they said other users got the same problem. Do you?

Toughened/Tempered Glass Protector
I could not find a toughened/tempered glass screen protector for this device, the MLAIS M9, so I searched for alternatives. The glass screen protector is really much better than the plastic PET ones available because it is smoother and more sensitive to the touch and provides better clarity.
So if like me you would like to attach a glass screen protector to this device, you have a choice to use the "LEAGOO Elite 4 Transparent Anti-scratch Toughened Glass Guard Protector". This particular glass protector covers the front camera but it does not affect the camera quality and the front camera is perfectly usable. It is really the best solution available at the moment.
I dont have sufficient posts to include an image. You can remove all spaces in the link below to see the photo.

FWIW, I bought mine from Everbuying.net. Delivery time is really long but I'm satisfied with their service.

Whatsapp is working with my mlais m9. Make sure you can receive sms with it, otherways you would have to let whatsapp call you for the securitynumber. Imei number can also be a problem, but then you wouldn't be able to call with it.

Broke LCD - no source for it anywhere
Mlais doesn't answer to mails and there's no place I could buy parts for this M9 model.
Soooo, nice and slim paper weight though, looks great on a pile of garbage.
Thanks MLAIS!
