I am almost finished with my 2 year agreement and I am now on my 3rd Defy. For a basic phone and limited apps, it's okay, but still overheats and stalls. Great camera, great speaker system, but using either kills the battery quickly. Oh, and the 2nd replacement phone only lasted 4 months.

Sboy, 12 Feb 2013Hi, i would like to know how is the battery of this fone?? ... moreHi, Battery life is really good when campared to all other android phones.I saw many of my colleagues carrying charger/cable along with their Samsung mobile always, I never used to do so as My Motorolla gives better battery life.(Ofcourse it will get drained if we use GPS , Playing videos continually)

My Defy is runing like mad on Cyanogenmod 7 (Android 2.3.7). It is 4 times faster than on stock Android 2.1 or 2.2. Here are short but sweet instructions: Root your defy with SuperOneClick (https://www.box.com/s/y3cc0q8nxasgi5jeu6jo). Then download latest STABLE version of cyanogenmod 7 from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=jordan (cm-7.2.0-jordan.zip, do not download UNOFFICIAL or NIGHTLY builds because they are in testing phase still). Than download and install Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (They have extensive guide for installing and setting up). And lastly follow this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jordan (You have already gained root access, so skip first step!). ENJOY your new DEFY! :) Oh, install ADW LAUNCHER EX, it will speed up transitions even more. :)

Remember that you are responsible for your device, that the warranty of the device will no longer be valid and that you know what you are doing.
It is strongly advised to back up all info on your phone before proceeding.
This ROM is in BETA but should be stable enough as a daily driver as you read in the comments.

I have been using this phone from the last 1.5 years.
Besides it is a battlefield phone with the rubber body, and minor almost unperceptive screen scratches who has survived a lot of drops, it is a very unstable phone.
With a lot of lags, freezes, the battery drops without reason, sometimes I need to take off the battery in order to reset the phone.
The root and the Android 4.0 kinda improve it, but stills freezing, you cannot leave the 3G on, because will drop the battery in a matter of hours.
I really don't recommend this phone to anyone, I think I will keep this phone like 6 more months.

It is virtually impossible to break this device by rooting/installing custom roms as the bootloader is still locked. Great phone. It still supports and runs Jelly Bean perfectly fine.
