motorola photon 4g

Don't currently own one, just want to make sure about a few things. Searched through the Dev forum but still I am not 100% sure and that's why I am asking here, just to confirm. 1. Is the bootloader unlocked for all firmware so I can flash custom ROMs or do I need to check something to...

My Photon is rooted. I was shocked to find an official Motorola update available the other day (after checking under Menu > About phone > System updates > Update Motorola software). I can't remember what version the update was, and right now I have no reliable way to check. In any case, I made...

I just want to know , Is it possible (definitely it would be) for us to install the compatible ROM on our phones. I mean to say, like when we assemble a PC we have everything RAW and EMPTY. Similarly when a phone is made it is just a piece of hardware, no software's. I want to know , how an...

My wife and I both had the E4GT but her's got stolen two days ago. I was thinking of getting the photon originally but they were out of stock. I am going to replace her phone but was wondering if i should give her my E4GT and buy a photon or just keep mine and get her something else. She doesn't...

I would like to root my Photon in order to get rid of the Sprint bloat ware. I am on version 2.3.5. Have followed the video using Torpedo with no success. Updated drivers. Get msg " adb is not recognized as an internal or external command...." when program tries to send torpedo to the...

For all you rooters! I may finally give this a shot, once I use my last 1 year upgrade and the Photon isn't my dedicated Sprint phone. How to upgrade the Photon 4G MB855 to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean

I have the Atrix lapdock and Photon 4g. When I use an app from my phone and make it full screen it seems to be zoomed in. Is there a way to zoom out?

My Photons battery usually lasts up to 3 hours uncharged, and it's becoming a pain to keep having to worry about constanlty charging the phone. But I have checked the other threads, and none had really helped at all. Is their something I can do? I've downloaded battery saver apps, turn off my...

Motorola to Cut Jobs, Close Offices, Focus on Fewer Phones (Phone Scoop) seems they are cutting back.... and with sprints lack of commitment to them.... not looking good there

Well fellow MoPho fans, I finally managed to shatter my screen. It's usable but there are cracks running like a spider web from the center all the way to the edge of the screen. I had to put plastic wrap on the screen as a cheap screen protector to make sure that the bits and pieces of the...

Curious if anyone else has had an issue like mine and if you were able to resolve it. Some of the music I have uploaded displays differently on my phone than it does on my PCs and tablet (Asus Transformer Pad TF300T, Android 4.0.3). As an example, my PCs and tablet show 16 albums and 102...

Hi, I need help. I rooted with Photon Torpedo a while back, and everything was fine. I want to update (despite the lockdown warnings) from 45.3.6 to 45.4.13 but the update fails every time, even after a factory reset of the device. Pressing both volume buttons when I see the "!" Android gives...

So, a few weeks ago, my Photon wouldn't load YouTube videos on the YouTube app. I cleared the cache, tried again, and it still didn't work. I came to realize that videos from other websites wouldn't work either. I just get a continuous spinning wheel, and the occasional "This video cannot be...

Is there any way to have my MoPho connect to a bluetooth headset or car stereo automatically? Kind of a pain to have to manually connect whenever I get in the car...

I had been wondering why my contacts never synced after I updated them on the Google Contacts site. I went into menu > Settings > Accounts > Google, and found that the contacts had not synced since 4/30/2012. I noticed this on 8/8/2012, meaning over 3 months had passed! When I tapped "Sync...

Switching some things around with my phones, and looks like I am going to pick up the GSIII... I will be giving my phone to my daughter, so i will poke in from time to time... but that samsung phone just has WAYYY to many positive things.. its been a good time over here and i have...

Hey guys, sorry if this is a repeat, bit i cant find anyone else with this problem. a while back i tried to root my phone a few different ways. I tried the torpedo, one click and some other way. I think i got a partial root some how cause i have access to all my root files through file manager...

Any time my phone starts up from a powered off state, any app groups that I have created become corrupt. Basically, in any particular custom app group, the majority (and in some cases all) of the apps I added no longer show up plus some apps that I never added to the group will be listed...

Is there a setting which will cause the phone to be silent when a bluetooth device is handling the communication? For example, I am using a Motorola Roadster 2 for hands free phone use in my car. When a call or text arrives, the Roadster announces the call, etc. but at the same time that the...

This is Android Module Kernel Driver info is for the Photon 4g, but the info could easily be modded to fit your individual needs 1) Format an sdcard to ext3 2) copy the phones kernel stuff to sdcard see:[Guide] Quick start compiling guides-cm9-kernels - xda-developers pre-setup Okay first of...

According to my records the Photon was released a year ago today. :birthday: I don't feel like it's that out of date, but I guess rooting and overclocking probably has something to do with that. Anyone else?

This is on my fathers phone. He keeps getting an error which states that: "The following error has prevented a successful connection: Incorrect username or password. Visit settings to correct." I have checked and double checked the settings, and they are all correct. The thing that makes this...

So I woke up at 3 am and checked my phone only to see my screen had gone to what I can best equate to snowy static like on older tvs. It feels as if the screen itself it still functional but the display is not. A reboot and a battery pull did not solve the problem. Anyone experience this...

I bought this motorola photon and it's locked to sprint. What is a trusted site to get an unlock code for like 8 bucks? And will my tmobile sim card work for it?
