Devo 7E not binding with V636 and Syma X5C-1

I connected the module to the devo based on this tutorial: www.hacksmods.com/2013/05/nrf24l01-devo7e-pinout/
I tried it with the Deviation 4.0.1 release. It connected to the V636, but it was laggy like hell. When i pushed the throttle, after 1-2 seconds it started the engines, and if i lowered, was still in the air, and crashed few times.
After i tried with nightly builds.
Since then the v636 not binding, only the leds are starting to blink faster.
With the nightly build, i can connect my syma x5c-1 to the controller. It starting the engine, but one of them is slower than the others. It causing the copter is going round.
I used modell files what i downloaded from the forums, but the problem was the same.
With the stock transmitters both work properly.
Here is the video from V636:
Here is the video from X5C-1:
May i soldered it wrong (I checked it several times, with multimeter, and it seems good), or some problems with the settings?

Now, come on with the lags.
Did you connect CE signal to VCC (3.3v) in your nRF module?

The true is that first time i soldered CE Signal to wrong place beside VDD on transmitter. Then it doesnt even worked. When i tried to bind something, the transmitter just restarted itself. Then i started to think, and i saw the problem. Since then CE is connected to VDD but not in the nRF module but on the transmitter. Maybe that causing the problem?
I can try to solder CE to VCC on the module, then use one wire to the transmitter? You think that can help?

My only concern is when you say " first time i soldered CE Signal to wrong place beside VDD on transmitter".
Where do you solder (wrong) first time the CE signal?
If i'm not wrong the nRF is 5V tolerant at supply, but not on signals.
Perhaps you damaged your nRF module when connected wrong the CE signal?

Can i check somehow that the module is damaged or no? (On that day i ordered another nrf module, so soon i will get that, and i can try with that)
btw, i like your videos on youtube, i saw there devo 7e first, and that's why i bought it (i ordered the same antennas too on ebay)

The best test you can do with your module, is test a new one
Thanks about the videos

The WlToys transmitters module should be better, because most times they use a module with power amplifier.

But the syma does not even connect. I think this module is not an nrf240l1+ it is just a nrf240l.

The SymaX protocol is working 250kbps datarate, only supported by the nRF24L01+ and Beken 2423/25
Very probably your V636 module is using an nRF24L01 or Beken 2421 (I bet Beken ).
