At random time the volume will be stuck at full blast even if I push the volume down button or go to the sounds settings page and turn it down there. It either mute or full blast. Ill be trying a factory restore later tonight after I back some game saves up and my pictures. Just wondering if anyone else has had this bug.
And I never unlocked or rooted so not sure what's up with this thing.
I have only had mine for a few hours and have had that happen to me too.. let me know if you figure it out

Reboot......
This was touched on in another post as well. Reboot fixed it for me and it has not returned since. Others in that thread had similar results.

I have rebooted and it still happens. I uninstalled all apps that wanted hardware control. Im hoping it was a bug with extended control. Ill keep test to figure it out. The last thing i want to do is return this thing.
I had this happen to me too. Havent' tried it this morning yet.
Same problem here. Had it happen minutes after booting for the first time. Rebooting "fixed" it temporarily but the problem returned. I can't pinpoint why it happens. It'll happens either when I play a movie, game or music. I hope this gets fixed fast! Very unacceptable!
Mine did it but after doing a simple restart i haven't had the problem since.
i uninstalled a few apps. it seemed at the time it was extended controls but last night it happened again. Stuck at full till i reboot.
I've seen it on an app by app basis and sporadically related to reboot events...
If it were a hardware issue, it wouldn't be varying from app to app... my money is on a software patch in the next few weeks/months.

Hey guys,
I randomly experienced this problem as well. Rebooting provided only a momentary fix.
The solution: factory reset.
Then problem has not presented itself since.

factory resets suck. Guess its time to back everything up and do it before I get to far into this. I noticed it only happens after i play videos. Its random and happens so rare. Idk if it worth losing all my game data over.
Happened to me one time, and i rebooted.
I have factory reset so many times after changing kernels (before the stock wifi and kernel files where out).
Has not happed since.
I had this problem on a regular basis in the first 2 weeks or so after buying. However, I havent seen it a single time in the last week or so... not once, in any app (which seemed to make a difference for me before).
I dont know if it had anything to do with the 3.0.1 update, app udates or a combination of everything, but mine seems to have resolved its issue on its own.
While the idea of app updates may not seem terribly impactful, a lot of them do run in the background to some degree and it’s my theory that one (or more) of them were calling upon, using or referencing the 3.0 hooks into the audio hardware, causing it to misbehave.
If that is true, then the following list of apps and updates should provide a testable, reproducible way to get rid of the volume issue... or at least it may be a shot for anyone trying to troubleshoot the problem. Obviously, Im not suggesting that anyone run out and download apps that they don’t have, but I would recommend uninstalling (at least for the duration of the test) apps that aren’t listed below (and removing widgets that aren’t used in this config).
Again, just my theory… for anyone frustrated enough to merit such a test…

i read back near the 1.0 release notes that gapps was added. so i just flashed my first flash of royalginger 1.6 [mild applause!!] and found that i didnt have gmail anywhere. i downloaded it from the market and it works. my questions are:
1) if gapps was included (since RG 1.0 ?) why did i have to dl gmail?
2) why does gmail not respond to pinches to zoom in and out? it just pans, no zoom.
thanks
PS: super duper rom. thanks to teamroyal. posting this here instead of RG thread since i dont have enough posts yet...
The Gapps package nowadays only includes apps that can't be downloaded from the market. This is mainly the Google signin backend, the "News and Weather" app, and the Market itself.
Anything that can be downloaded from the market is intentionally left out - Gmail, Maps, etc. Otherwise, when a new update came out, you'd end with two copies, one in your /system and one in /data, which would take up space unnecessarily. Also, some people don't use Gmail, etc. so these apps would be bloat for them.
anyone know why i cant use multitouch on royalginger 1.6 to zoom in and out of gmail? (browser app and other work fine in zooming)
Apps have to support multitouch. Google never got around to adding this to the Gmail app.
well that makes sense, and i never thought that google would have left that out... i could have sworn my stock mytouch from t-mobile had pinch on gmail... would t-mobile have "sensified" the app to add pinching? i have to check my wife's stock, but i'll take your word for it. thanks.
I only noticed this evening and have not seen it mentioned here (I may have missed it) but Samsung Market has just updated to 2.0.5. There are a few nice new apps there as well inc. a dragon riding game.
Updated mine to 2.5.034 about a week ago.
Why does it have a different build number in settings/applications to the one in the about screen of the app itself? Mine is as yours. 2.5.034
Did anyone lose his or her credit card information for google checkout after the new version change?
Regards.

Comment Print For Android 1.6 and higher, the Android Market application automatically updates itself when new versions become available. This is a silent update which means you will not see a notification and will not be prompted to update. Perform the following to ensure the latest version of Android Market is updated properly:
Android 1.6 - 2.3
1.Launch Android Market
2.Switch to the Home screen
3.Wait 5-10 minutes for Market to self-update
4.Re-launch Market
Android 3.0
1.Launch Android Market
2.Touch My apps in the top right corner
3.Switch to the Home screen
4.Wait 5-10 minutes for MyApps to self-update
5.Re-launch Market
To check the version of Android Market:
1.Press Home, press Menu, and touch Settings
2.Touch Applications
3.Touch Manage applications
4.Touch the All tab (Android 2.2 or higher), or press Menu, touch Filter, and touch All (Android 2.1 or lower)
5.Scroll down and select Market
The version number appears below the Market title.
To check the version of MyApps:
Repeat the steps above, but select MyApps instead of Market. The version number appears below the MyApps title.
To update market, clear data for it and relaunch market, easy and works!
My Samsung Market just updated itself to 2.5.039 which sounds even newer!
I don't see the game you mentioned though.
I also had a question... A few months back, I'm sure there was a photo editor app on the Samsung Market, but I don't see it anymore. I'm sure I tried installing it, and it failed, and now it is gone. I did successfully get the video editor at the same time, and still have it installed and working, but that is also missing from the Samsung Market list now. Am I right, was there ever a photo editor in there? Does anyone else still see it? Had anyone got it installed on their device? Is it any good?
The other Samsung Market oddity I have is that, the Samsung Market icon tells me there is 1 new update (as does the text in the list inside the app), yet there is no updates listed when you get in there. There used to be two listed in both those places, but only 1 update there, which I installed... leaving me with a mysterious invisible update supposedly available. I wonder if all of these problems (including the game you have that I don't don't see) are regional ones caused by my move from uk to nz and therefore changing sim card. I used to be on uk voda, and now on payg 2deg in nz.
I might try my uk sim card to see if it offers me anything different.
Any thoughts?
Mike

If you have CWM try clearing dalvik cache from advanced and regular cache.
Your device thinks you have that photoeditor, which offers update, which you can't see in the samsung apps as it failed at installing, this is just my thought which came first in my mind.
Also sim card shouldn't be affected to what your samsung apps offers, only the CSC should.

Still don't work for me :-( Tried to clear cache just say accept terms and conditions and I click accept and still on version 2.3.6
Any implications from clearing dalvik? Any chance of data loss or problems afterwards? Never done it before, so want to check before jumping in.
Thanks

Actually any problems afterwards is smaller chance to come if you clear dalvik cache twice in a month and when flashing a theme or any other cwm package. Only thing is longer first boot, since it will rebuild dalvik cache from scratch with your new settings and apps. And there is no chance to lose data.

I'm curious if anyone has a list of removable apps for the stock Defy as well as lists for Quarx's CM10 roms etc. I've found a few but were either very old or sem-related roms and releases.
From what I gathered most of the bloat is gone in Roms like Quarx's CM10. Of course not all of the included services and apps will be used by the user, for example, I don't use bluetooth, nor do I use the FM Radio etc. Most of these basic apps with layman-like labeling I've uninstalled but some are a little more like: "Download Manager" or "DRM Protected Content Storage."
I'm curious to hear if anyone has a more conclusive list than my clusterf-- of pieces.
Cheers.
I am also interested in this, I would uninstall stock messages, and browser, music player, video player... but will the phone stay completely functional?

If I can retrace some of my searches I can offer a few of the old lists. Unfortunately I never made a comprehensive one for myself and the Defy. I only just started to label my apps in Titanium Backup when I realized
For example much of the general stock apps I know can be uninstalled, naturally if you want music to play but don't have a music player, you may want to stick with stock until you find an music app which you like (I run Subsonic and have been checking up on XenoAmp's development... I just love the ideas behind it).
I've found it never hurts to back up and do a test run of the app frozen before you remove it. Here's some of the stock Apps I've removed/Frozen(Titanium Backup) without a hitch:

Haha, nice. That's is one of the lists I read a while back. Would you happen to know of a list for the Defy? Not to mention the list clearly isn't exactly replicable for us. ie "Home Screen Tips - Desktop tip widget. Will make phone FC after factory reset"
Cheers.

Yes I know that is not entirely applicable to Defy but if you read between rows is very useful. I use it and I've make some space on system ( ~75MB free).

Oh, absolutely. I'd just love to hear what else I can squeeze out. I don't use a lot of basic apps and services even on the debloated CM ROMs. Since it's so easy to overload the Defy with too many things running I'd rather keep everything minimal.
Since no one has a defy-specific list maybe I'll update this one in a day or two.
