[Q] Motorola Defy+ Android 2.3.6 (Xenius) rebooting while calling - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I bought new defy+ on ebay and have a problem with it - it reboots when I making or recieving calls. Аbout one of two or three calls ends this way on 2G and about every - on 3G. I tried switching diapasons with no effect. Now I think it could probably be a power issue with the radio module and connection with mobile network. Is there a way to somehow test/tune it on defy? Or probably someone here has other ideas? I would be very grateful for any help. And please excuse me my bad English.
Thanks

[Q] Help Needed!!!! not able to receive call when using network to stream large Data

Hi Guys,
I am in love with my phone ever since i ported Android into......
But there one issue that i am facing........
I am not able to receive calls on my HTC HD2 while i am buffering some video or dowloading huge data on an EDGE network.
DO any of you also have faced the same issue, Can you guys suggest me if there are any work around for this????
My Rom details are as below
Rom: TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.4[2.3.4][A2SD][tytung r10]
Radio:2.15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When using gprs/edge, the phone is effectively in use, so calls can't get through.
Think about the days of dialup modems,,, when the modem is connected the phone line is engaged.

there isnt one, 2g cannot have an active data connection and use voice calls
to do this you need to be on 3g
But when I contacted my service provider(Vodafone India) They mentioned that there is no such problem reported from my location.
They inturn told me that it could be some wrong settings done in the mobile....
I guess they are wrong then .... right????
If not is there any setting that i can tinker with to get this done....
PS: I have tried the rom with various radios as well but that was not much help....
radios will not help because whaty ou want cannot be done!!!! you cannot have a 2g connection downloading data and use voice at the same time, this can only be done on a 3g connection
your providing are not telling you the truth
Thanks for the reply guys.....
well I guess then its time to switch to 3G

GSM Voice abroad

Hi!
I have two Droid pro phones from Verizon.
They are both unlocked to use abroad and have latest system update - 4.6.8.XT610.Verizon.en.US.
Baseband version: N_01.81.00R.
I am using phones on KCell (Kazakhstan local telecom provider) which operates on 900/2100 frequencies.
So I see very strange behaviour with this phones:
While the phone on GSM frequency I can't hear anything - absolute silence during a call while on GSM, or I can hear for a first few seconds (1-3) and then again - nothing.
I can hear only signals from numbers on Dialpad when I press it.
At the same time, if the phone on UMTS band (I see that because 3G icon is shown) I can talk easily, no problem at all.
Tested on both phones - same situation.
Tested on other providers (Beeline) - same.
Can anyone can tell, what all this mean and how can I solve this?
Does anyone experienced similar problem?
Thank you!
I use a Motorola Droid pro 4.6.8.XT610.Verizon.en.US with MTS Samara (Russia), no such problem, but there is a problem with the quality of the signal, the signal is weak, even in the GSM mode.

I have the same problem in Italy with some cells... I have seen this issue only in a few zones/cells, with only TIM (my ex operator), with other operator i don't have any issue.... I think that is issue between your/my operator with old cells and our phones...
And it is impossible to correct....
But You can send/recive sms and use internet...
Thank's a lot for the answers!
Do you know is Cyanogen ROM or baseband switch can help me?

No... I'm sorry...
Probably your providers are not using some voice codecs, that Droid supports. Call to the call center and escalate issue - tell them to escalate to the technical team to check codec compatibility in the network.
Try the Baseband Switcher for Defy.
Then select the baseband for your country your are in.,
Probably the baseband in your country is not match with Verizon's
My network provider in Hong Kong is CSL, and when I received this Verizon,
voice calls on 3G can be dialed out but no voice.
Once i tried this lit thing for Defy, calls were fine.

Did you installed baseband switcher on Droid Pro?
I just installed it and it crashes at start.
Can you give some guidance on install process? may be need something special ...
Thank you!
Hello,
I have a similar experience: in Slovenia, on Simobil, voice works reliably only on GSM. On 3G, there is no voice on outgoing calls. Data works on GSM and 3G.
I also have Baseband version: N_01.81.00R.
And Defy Baseband Switcher also crashes on start :b

i really don't know... but if you try to put Argentinian's sbf, wait 48 hours without battery, it's possible that you can start your phone in a really gsm phone...
seeing other posts you can find another user that was able to do this procedure from european to american's sbf...
maybe?
Hey,
I also use the phone in Kazakhstan under ACTIV network and have the similar problem. There was no such problem just before a month now. Maybe our provider changed the frequencies or smth. It really bugs me out((.Have you tried to use the phone under Pathword network? lets try to solve this problem since we both are using the phone under same provider.

Yes I have it installed on my DP,
if it crashes, it means the baseband selected is not suitable.
Remove Sim to boot up, change basband back to default, and reinsert Sim to boot and retry.
however, the improvement which I observed on my phone,
Im not sure if that was brought by the baseband switcher or just a random network issue, since I have no technical background. Just the phone vendor who sold me this 2nd hand handset told me to try, and a coincidence it worked after the installation.
* sorry for the late reply

[Q] defy signal problem

Hi all i got a defy green lense and having signal problems.
I have been using cm7 and now cm7.2 since using non stock roms my signal has been playing up majorly.
Sometimes cant get a signal other times i'll get a signal but only hold for a while
Most annoying the signal "unlocks" when the screen locks and then takes ages to lock back in again.
3g problems too.
I have tried all the basebands and different sim cards and networks but still the same (ok when i put into another phone).
I have checked inside the phone (had to replace ear piece again) and nothing is broken or dirty.
i did read somewhere that it could be the radio files on the phone but i thought baseband swithcer did this?
Any help would be great as its getting annoying now also i noticed wifi locks out sometimes too when screen in locked?

I was facing a network issue too. I had to switch my baseband to "China MEE 810/2100" as i use VODAFONE IN
see with your network provider if you have set the correct baseband for your area
I've done all that and it has the same problem on any network and Sim.

WOW this prob just hit my phone this morning.
i went to sleep last night and everything was fine
woke up this morning and had no data and my defy says Emergencies calls only.
i tried putting my Sim into a g2 and works perfect. tried resetting the defy and changing the base band and nothing... only one that lets me make calls and gives me 2g is Australia base band. i even flashed a fresh sbf and im still having the same issues.
if anyone out there knows how to fix this issue please let me know i really need my 3g back.

HELP! SOS!
I'm not too worried about the 3g it's more the annoyance of the signal cutting in and out.
Is there a way can change the radio files on the phone without using Baseband switcher so I know it's actually changed then and not looking at lots of files?

Tried the baseband already, put stock rom on and the signal is better nopt switching on and off so why does this happen on cm7 etc?
Just an update on this...
Flashed phone to cee deblur stock rom and signal was OK so worked out it must be a software rather than hardware issue.
So using the PC method I flashed the phone 3 times and wiped all the data each time.
After that the signal was still OK so I install 2ndinst and loaded cm9 cm9 kernel and gapps. Wiped data and the phone has been fine apart from 2 lock ups. I'm getting 3g and the signal is not being lost. After installing cm9 I also installed rom updater ,after 1st reboot it updated Android and now my camera green lenses works too not 100% quality but that's what my dslr is for! So for people getting the signal being lost abd no 3g problem try a stock rom a few times and wiping phone then custom rom worked for me!

Hello,
i have the same Problem with Defy+.
I have T-Mobile Germany.
I have tried all basebands, but when i lost the signal, then i dont get it the next one hour.
What ca i do?
Czech republic signal issue
Hi,
I have signal problems too - Vodafone CZ user. When I have no signal uderground - when I go down by escalator signal just disappears. Its verry annoying in case of using mobil tickets.
Im using WajkIUI™ ROM based on MiuiAndroid 2.3.7 (GB) on Defy+.
Have you any sollution for this?
Thank you
I have the same problem. There is no signal in underground or even in elevator! I checked it with cm7 and whiterabbit. I think it doesn't depend on rom. But I believe it's software problem.
Problem in Base Bands
I have problems when I switch to 850-1900 frequencies, the ones that works in America, Argentina.
I tried everything, differents roms, stock roms for Arg carrries. APN are correct, Baseband selector for Defy is correct, set to Americas, argentina,
I bough this phone from ebay, it seems to have been designed for UK Ireland according to motorola support, I haven't reached the UK support because they're currently closed.
When I am in 900-2100 Bands the phone works perfect EXCEPT for 3G, H Connections that don't work at all.
Is it possible that this phone has a different hardware ? I read that it may can be solved with a new Base Band for America but how do I go with this?
Thanks

Weird problem: CM10 0828 defy+, No calls possible after a while – location dependent.

Hi,
I have a weird problem on my Defy+ (Quarkx 0828, kernel 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e). Provider KPN (Netherlands)
This build is working fine except for one thing.
When I am at my office location I loose the ability to receive phone calls and make phone calls after about an hour.
On the home screen it looks like there is still coverage but no calls possible.
I'm pretty sure that it has to do something with the indoor GSM transmitters we have in the building. They are GSM/GPRS only and not really new. Of course many other Android users are using these indoor GSM transmitters without a problem for years.
On other locations I do not have this behavior.
When I was at stock Android 2.3.6 on the Defy+ there was no problem at this location.
The indoor transmitters are managed by my provider (KPN) to provide a better coverage in this building. Don't know brand/type of the indoor equipment but do know they are GSM/GPRS only (dated equipment).
The circumvention I use is to set my Defy+ to 2G only and the problem is not there anymore (I gain battery life :good: but need to switch to 3g manually when away from the building to get the speed back).
I'm using baseband Central europe 3.4.2-145.
I tried a few others but got the same results:
3.4.x does not work at all for me
2.5.1 Same result, after a while no phone calls
2.3.4 Same result, after a while no phone calls
France 3.4.1-164-5 Same result, after a while no phone calls
France 3.4.2-164- after restart the phone goes to flight mode. After a while no phone calls.
What can I do to get more information about what is happening to pinpoint this problem?
Is there specific logging which I can turn on?
Is there a specific baseband which can handle frequent switches between 2G/3G better?
Other suggestions?
Thanks!
Hade you tried basebandswitcher, try an older baseband like 2.34. 2g/3g works ok for me now.

Thanks Meares.
Unfortunately this baseband does not solve it.
I will test the other basebands (takes a while, can only do it at work where the indoor antenna's are at non-busy hours).
Will install the latest Quarks rom when it is not at the experimental level. Need my phone for work.
Installed Quarx 0912 CM10 and the behavior is different from CM10 0828.
At work with the 2G indoor GSM coverage with my Defy+ set to 3G the phone reboots after a while (instead of just stopping to receive calls or able to make calls). After reboot a have to re-enter my sim pin code (in the past I had reboots which skipped entering the pin-code) so there are different kinds of reboots.
With 0912 CM10 set to 2G there are no reboots and everything is stable with CM10 0912.
The behavior is different from CM10 0828 but did not find anything related to 2G/3G communication in the change log.
I understand this is an exotic problem and 'document' it here in case someone else has similar experience. Do not really expect a solution as you need the be at this specific location to experience it.
Two fellow workers with a Defy+ but with stock firmware never have 3G problems (they are waiting for me to solve it first before the want CM10....)
Today also a spontaneous reboot while driving in the car while using Sygic 12.1.2. Phone was set to 2G/3G.
Thanks

Hi, It looks like the problem I have and which is location dependent but for me 2G works better than 3G. It seems that the Defy or CM10 is not working good in circumstances were it switches from one network technique to another. Reboots I have:
Reboot after switching automatically Wifi on with Easy Profiles. Effectively it then shuts down 2G/3G because Wifi is switched on.
At my work where we have indoor coverage with 2G antenna's. Much less reboots there if I put the phone on 2G only.
Some reboots I can't explain
I log my reboots with reboot logger from the play store. Pictures in Play store are not English but app is in English. Handy app!
I did play with several basebands but in the end the default baseband for my location worked best (3.4.2-145 Central Europe). More frequent reboots with others or the went info flightmode spontaneous.
No solution but you could play with the following settings:
Settings - In Wireless & Networks: More - Mobile neworks:
National data roaming
GSM//UMTS Network preference
Use only 2G networks
I did not find a combination which ends rebooting once in a while (a little less than one time a day on average).

[Q] DefyPlus Root successful(?) 2g-GPRS messed up-Please Help
@Mods: If this thread is not placed appropriately kind move/merge as appropriate. I did try to search for this peculiar problem but was not successful. Thank you.
Hello everyone,
Today I pulled the trigger and rooted my Defy Plus inspite of all the misgivings I had about my ability to carry it off successfully. And in hindsight my misgivings seem to be very justified.
The details of my device are:
Build # 4.5.1-134_DFP-231 & Android ver 2.3.6
SBF : 45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03
The rooting guide I followed was as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
Recommended SBF's were downloaded and the method outlined followed
The long and short of it is:
*Most likely the rooting has been successful - How do I know? Well I installed a screenshot application from Google which needs a rooted device and it said my device is rooted and it worked successfully.
* The problem? The problem is, my primary objective to root the phone was to enable some call recording app or the other to work and if that did not work go for WIUI GB or ICS custom ROM which if I understand correctly is configured to allow call recording. My data usage is minimal at best restricted to some emails , work related browsing when I am away from my office. For this I use a 2g connection and that suffices. However after the rooting if the network is set for 2g the device does not list my service provider, even if I do a manual search for service provider. The very same phone works flawlessly if I opt for automatic network selection and it defaults to 3g which I do not want due to cost implications.
Now is there a way to resolve this issue without rooting a custom rom? Or do I need to flash a custom Rom that to extricate myself from this mess? Or do I need to go back to factory settings using SBF the device is shipped with?
Thanks in advance for any help
Success - Baseband reset for India
I was facing the same issue , after rooting my phone as indicated in my earlier post.
Subsequent to that I installed WIUI Rom - the stable version - from here, and used the inbuilt Baseband utility to reset baseband for India. Issue resolved.
