Comparison battery usage 2G and 3G (quarkx 09-11)
My general settings:
Bluetooth always on
Wifi switches off from 23:00 to 06:00 using EasyProfiles.
EasyProfiles is always running to check for BT connection with carkit so it can start a Cardock or music player when it detects my BT headset.
Push e-mail for Gmail on.
Push e-mail for Lotus Notes Traveler (work e-mail) on during the day.
Advanced Wifi setting: Keep Wifi on during sleep: Never
Network notification open networks: off
Processor CPU govenor: boosted (don't know anymore if this is the default, I intend to use the default)
HWA off for all applications except Android system
Zram: disabled
No apps installed (I believe) that need constant network connectivity
Attachment Defy+, 3G on
The first part is 3G when in the car and at home
About 3 percent battery decrease during the night
I started that day with baseband SE Asia, 3.4.3-331 as I read a tip that it might help for my 3g problems at work. It didn't as the phone rebooted (red bar on mobile signal). Switched back to the default for my location Central Europe 3.4.x.
I hardly used my phone that day but the battery usage was high.
The GPS time is when Mytracks was running during my bicycle ride of 23 km to/from work, about an hour.
There is a big difference in battery drop with 3G between home and at work. Usage did not differ that much.
Attachment Defy+, 2G only (12 hours extra with more usage)
5 percent battery decrease during the night
With the phone set to 2G only battery usage is much less. On both days I had more phone calls than on the 3G day.
Again the GPS time is running Mytracks for about an hour going to and from work.
Very good battery usage!! I keep my Defy at 2G and switch to 3G when I need the extra speed.
Of course: Your milage will vary!

I would like to figure out which SBF version was originally installed on my phone, because it seems to be safe to have it on a piece of paper in case one of these 2ndboot builds messes up things.
I came from stock to 7.2 quarx, then cm10 quarx's 2nd boot 4.1.2 roms.
I've never flased and sbf so far, is there a way to tell what was its original stock version?

No
But most important is to know your BL version to find proper sbf for you
Check OP of this thread for the app checking BL version.
Other, not elegant
way to do it is flashing sbfs from lower to higher version and finding which one will not give you bootloader error and boot up successfully.Also in some cases it can be found out with good probability from the owner info:
- what was your stock system? Froyo or GB
- defy red, green or plus?
- what country are you from?
- was your stock ROM branded by any provider? if so then which one?

Won't boot
Just installed 11.17 2ndboot defy(+) build.
Installed fine, but now the phone is booting and it won't get past the red Motorola logo.
The phone isn't even getting to the blue LED, so I can't even access the bootmenu.
I'm just going to leave the phone for 10 minutes, see if anything changes.
Anyone else getting a problem like this?

Flash rom, reboot.
No data or cache wipe whatsoever.
It has worked every time so far with Quarx's 2ndboot builds.
Wipe cache / dalvik is heavily recomended as it removes all possible bugs.
Please wipe cache and dalvik and post again the result

I will, thanks.
However I can't even get to that stage.
You may notice when the Defy boots, you get a bright red Motorola logo, followed by a dimming of the screen then the blue LED.
The phone won't even reach that stage. Do I have to use ADB in some way?
I installed the Motorola drivers
I installed RSD Lite
I plugged phone into PC, turned off.
Phone automatically turned on.
I opened RSD, found downloaded SBF file.
Unzipped
Opened file in RSD Lite
My phone isn't showing up.
I've tried turning it off, back on, unplugging, plugging back in...
What should I do?
Thanks for everything so far by the way, it's really appreciated.
Probably idiot question, but have you turned it on in bootloader mode?
It's not an idiot question, I feel like the idiot.
Do you mean the phone in bootloader mode? I can't get access to the bootloader in the phone.
If you mean the RSD application, I don't know how you do that.
Sorry...
Turn the phone off.
Then hold down the power button+ vol+ button
Bootloader mode

Thank you so much!
It showed up in RSD
Now it's doing its thing.
Thank you so much!
I'll post when its done.
This. It's better to start with the phone not connected (you'll see the message "connect USB data cable" or something like that), then plug it on the computer (the phone will show something like "usb connected"). RSDLite shall recognize it now. If it still doesn't (even with the phone saying it's connected), check device manager on windows (start menu > devices and printers > right click > device manager - "devices and printers" can be acessed through classical control panel if you're running win8) to see if the device started correctly (it'll show a exclamation mark next to the device icon if it doesn't start properly). If it didn't start, unplug and plug it back until it starts, its some driver-related problem, the device doesn't always start as it should.
M using defy green lens.. And I m on 17/11 build.. Do I have to wipe data to get on to 18/11 build?? Or can I just wipe cache nd dalvik. And can anyone tell me what is ext 3 and ext4.??
Thanks in advance.
