motorola photon q 4g lte

...my loudspeaker didn't work. I took it apart again and found my problem, Motorola didn't wire the loudspeaker (the one on the back of the phone used for speakerphone and the ringer), there are 2 spring loaded contacts on the motherboard that connect the loudspeaker. I broke both contacts and...

I've been using Facebook Messenger on my Android Motorola Photon Q ever since the Messenger app was introduced. It worked fine for me for years. A couple years ago it started crashing almost every time I send a message. It was not updated recently. It is up to date. Facebook is up to date...

I have had my Photon Q since February and it does not turn off unless it is dead. If I try to turn it off it just turns right back on a moment later and it is kind of annoying. Is this common to all of them or is mine just being stupid. I saw people post about when charging but this is an all...

So I've started doing a lot more video. For years I had a 16 gig SD card, it came stock with a Samsung I had several phones ago. I've carried it with me to every subsequent phone, and it worked fine with my Photon Q. It just wasnt big enough for all the video I've been doing lately. So I...

I want to put iGO GPS* on my Photon Q but I have to know the actual usable dimensions of the screen, which due to the annoyingly ever present button bar is not really 540x960, it's 540x960-button bar height. Ah, finally found it. Real usable screen space is 540x888. Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE...

I am unable to mount system, data, pds, and modem. Rom installs fail. I've tried every version of TWRP for asanti_c on TWRP's website. I've tried with CWM 6.0.1.3 Same results. Some of the TWRP versions allowed internal storage to mount but data still would not. I've tried RSD 5.7 with the...

Hello, I'm very new to this. I have a Photon Q that I'd like to get my hands dirty with rooting. Can anybody recommend a good, stable ROM to put on my phone? I've done some research and found some good walk-throughs of how the process is done. However, if anybody has some useful tips for...

Just wondering if any one is still out there on the forum. Quiet forum isn't the word for it. I've played around with Themer , EverythingMe and Nova Launcher . Working up to separate opinions about each of them compared to home. Anyone else tried something they liked? For the heck of it , I...

I was using my Android yesterday to transfer photos and videos from the SD card to my laptop. My USB cable was flaky and I planned to replace it, however I was trying to finish a project that night. It cut out a couple times during the transfers and I had to start over. Today I got a new...

Hey, I went through the airport yesterday on my way home, so my cell had to go through the x-ray machine. As soon as I got it back, the screen stopped showing anything. It only comes up with the pixelated black-and-white (like a TV when it can't load any channels; only it doesn't have that...

Either the MoPhoQ is the greatest smartphone of all time, or the one least used by people who realize that there are forums to discuss issues. ;)

If anybody else is having the missing mic issue in texting and google search, chances are you did what I did and deleted the google search bar from the home screen. A quick trip to the Play store (search for "google search" and choose "restore" or "update") and a restart will fix you up!

Th other day, I started the software update for my phone. After waiting on my phone to finish, I noticed I was unable to get calls or text messages. I cannot send either of them as well. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

My wife and I spent the weekend in a pretty decent 4G (LTE) area, and while my LTEvo was rockin' it the whole time my wife's Photon Q would completely lose its connection. I had to either toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone to get it to find a signal again. Even if we left the area and fell...

I did a software update on my phone and after it was done when I plug my phone into the computer. It does not recognize it. It wont charge or see it as a drive to transfer files. Has anyone had this issue and if there is a fix? Thanks.

Hey all. New to the Photon Q here. I was wondering, is there a setting that will allow me to change what apps are available on the lockscreen, or do I have to root/use Widgetlocker?

I do not yet have this phone. In fact I was going to buy it today, but then read that the battery cannot be removed. On my Epic4G, I like the fact that I can remove the battery for several reasons: If there is a glitch/hang and the phone becomes unresponsive, I just have to pull the battery...
