[Motorola Photon 4G] levman:
Vodafone requires that a new Access Point Name (APN) be set up for the SIM. The problem is that the Photon won't let me me create and save a new APN. What I've discovered is that, if I set the MCC and MNC in the APN to Sprint's values (310 and 120), then I can save the newly created APN, but the data connection won't work. If I set them to the appropriate values for Vodafone (505 and 03) then press save, the newly created APN disappears.

I spoke with Sprint today, and after 40 minutes of getting bounced around, finally got to someone who told me that this was by design. So if true, it appears that the SIM is unlocked for voice but locked for data (at least, if the carrier requires specific APN settings, as Vodafone does).

I also tried using APN Manager from the Android app store to create and select a different APN - no dice there, either.

Any suggestions, or am I out of luck?

The good news is that I brought my trusty old Touch Pro2 with me, just in case, and it is working fine ... but going back to the TP2 after a blissful week of using the Photon is really, really hard.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LordLugard:
Doesn't make sense to me that it would only be unlocked for voice and not data. Did you try contacting Motorola directly? I'll rather hear it from the horse's mouth.
[Motorola Photon 4G] levman:
It's hard to tell who's really the horse in these situations ... nonetheless that is a great suggestion, and I've just submitted the question to Motorola's support site.
[Motorola Photon 4G] yungwunn911:
Im sorry...im very confused by this. Ill be traveling to lebanon tomorrow and specifically got this phone to be able to pop a sim in and use data and voice....your saying i wont be able to uze data?
[Motorola Photon 4G] levman:
I am saying that I can't use data ... your experience may be different. I suspect that this may work for some carriers but not for others, depending on what settings they require for data. If they require you to create a new Access Point Name profile, then it most likely won't work, given my experience.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rotoread:
I'm able to use data on a foreign sim. I was able to save the apn also. This is with Telcel and Movistar in Mexico. Setup the same as my Samsung Captivate.
[Motorola Photon 4G] unsane:
So is there any possibility that this thing would ever be unlocked for US gsm networks like the Touch Pro 2 was? That would make this unit epic....
[Motorola Photon 4G] levman:
Which carrier did you purchase the phone from - was it Sprint?
[Motorola Photon 4G] levman:
So here is the latest, for anyone who's interested.

I emailed Motorola asking about why I couldn't save the APN, and was told

Motorola does not have any access to the Access Point Name (APN).​

The APN can only be access or generated from the service provider.​

I then contacted Sprint again, and got a hold of someone who took my request more seriously then the previous Sprint people. After several days, however, this person came back with

I contacted Motorola and was told that the data will not work with the Motorola photon gprs data​

I have no idea what the truth really is, but the bottom line is that I could not get the phone to work with data using a Vodafone Australia SIM. I even had Vodafone replace the SIM with their most current SIM - didn't help.

My Touch Pro2, on the other hand, had no problem getting the SIM to work for both data and voice, and I ended up turning my TP2 into a wireless router so I could indirectly use my Photon while out and about.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rotoread:
I bought directly from the respective carriers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Outer Marker:
It's been a while since I was in Australia, but if I'm not mistaken, Vodaphone operates data on UMTS 2100 down under. The photon is tri-band, not quad-band, so you're not going to get data with a Vodaphone AUS sim. Virgin Mobile in AUS operates their 3G network on 2100 AND 900 MHz, so that would be an option. Another one would be Telstra. A SIM from either of those providers should work, giving you access to the APN settings. They remain grayed out until the SIM can register with a UMTS data circuit on the required radio band.

You can read more here: http://wiki.apnchanger.org/Australia

Hope this was helpful.
[Motorola Photon 4G] myphone12345:
It depends on where he is in Australia. In most areas Vodaphone's network operates on UMTS2100 which the Photon does support. In some smaller areas it's UMTS900 which the Photon doesn't support.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sporklover:
Is it possible that the SIM card is supposed to "provision" your data similar to when you activate the phone on the Sprint network initially?

Or is the creating of an APN always a manual program effort by the user?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Outer Marker:
This is a good point. It's entirely possible he's in a UMTS900 zone...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jorjitoc:
This is from Motorola's site:

NETWORKS4

Worldphone - WiMAX 2500, CDMA 800/1900, WCDMA 850/1900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900

I believe WCDMA 2100 is the UMTS band being referred to. I am fairly certain the Photon is a Quad-band true world phone. http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...Mobile-Phones/ci.MOTOROLA-PHOTON-4G-US-EN.alt

EDIT: I see now you meant UMTS on 900 MHz rather than GSM at 900.
[Motorola Photon 4G] myphone12345:
It sounds like the guy is having APN issues, not reception issues. Otherwise he would have at least been able to get EDGE/GPRS connections - but those too require the APN.
[Motorola Photon 4G] levman:
FYI, I was in Sydney for most of the trip, with a few days in Canberra.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sporklover:
I started two threads on the official Sprint Support forums. One in the normal Moto Photon, and one in the Premier area. Wonder if Sprint will respond.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Outer Marker:
Yes, it's ridiculous that Data and voice are so segmented, but these are smartphones! Gone are the days that you just had to worry about the GSM voice frequency. Now you have to make sure the data frequency and radio band are supported by your phone.

For what it's worth, I've had little luck with Vodaphone sim cards overseas. I typically use Tmobile or Orange sim cards in the UK, and TIM or Wind in Italy. For points in between, I just roam on the UK Tmobile sim. Next trip won't be for a bit, so I'm eager to see what the photon is like...
[Motorola Photon 4G] ranova:
did you try rooting and manually editing the apn database with SQLite?

This was taken from the atrix APN editing thread:

2) Enable Airplane Mode
(hold power button for three seconds, select Airplane Mode)

3) Open Root Explorer

4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)

6) Select "carriers"

7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers. Edit/add what you want

8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.

9) Disable Airplane Mode

So Just add the APN with the sprint MCC and MNC, then manually edit the APN's MCC and MNC and see if that works
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbang3r:
Another possibility: the phone can't do GPRS or EDGE at all.

How this could happen: take a chipset designed for CDMA2000 with fallback to IS95. If you do nothing besides add enough capabilities for the phone to ALSO do WCDMA on the frequencies it already supports (850 and 1900MHz), and tack on support for 2100MHz since it's required for UMTS roaming in 90% of the world, you'll end up with a chipset that costs only a little bit more than one designed for CDMA only, and works fine in foreign places that are at least as urban as the parts of America where Sprint has good coverage.

The catch is that such a chipset won't be able to handle legacy GSM at all. You can tack on another chip that implements the bare minimum capabilities necessary for GSM voice, but THEN you have to add 900MHz and 1800MHz to the phone as well. More likely than not, support for legacy GSM voice (if present) would be tacked on as an epoxy-blob module that does 900+1800MHz GSM voice, SMS, and nothing more. That epoxy-blob module almost certainly has a bigger brother that can do GPRS for twice the price, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were ignored in favor of the cheaper voice/SMS-only module.

Electronically, you'd end up with a mainboard module that does everything CDMA and UMTS-related at 850/1900/2100MHz, and a tacked-on daughterboard to limp along and make legacy GSM voice calls (with SMS as a freebie bonus) on international frequencies.
[Motorola Photon 4G] myphone12345:
I think the recent generation of mobile chipsets actually do CDMA, GSM, and UMTS all on one chip and I believe that's how it is implemented in the Photon. IIRC the only thing that is a separate module on this puppy is WiMax (and that's one of the reasons 4G on it is such a battery killer).
[Motorola Photon 4G] rtresh:
I am in China and data is working. Everything is blue and using China Mobile. The only issue I have is when I try to send or recieve MMS and sometimes some applications it says Data Disabled, so it will not send or recieve. I can surf the web, down load apps from the store, but can not use the MMS functions. I have correct APN settings and still no success. Not sure what to do or try next.
[Motorola Photon 4G] chrisngrod:
Can someone use APN Backup and Restore, backup the current settings and post those here?

I've done a lot of work with APNs due to flashing devices over to Cricket. I might even get one of these today. If you make a shortcut using http://www.mycricketforum.com/flash...reates-direct-shortcut-apns-mraabhimself.html, can you edit the original Sprint APN or is it grayed out?

With the Droid 2 and Droid X Gingerbread versions, these were grayed out, however if you backed up the APNs with APN Backup and Restore, and then restored them, you could edit these.

APN information on Android devices is also stored /system/etc/apns-conf.xml and sometimes in the telephony.db in addition to this.

[General Questions and Answers] Hattrickredeyes:
I suspect it's a software problem and not related to the hardware models. We have htc inspires though.

Wife and I have identical phones. She came home from work and told me hers crashed; she said she charged it on her way in to work and when she reached to use it saw the root/boot/recovery/whatever screen. (She described it and then when it came up when I looked at it, confirmed that was the screen she'd seen.)

We've got android 2.2.1, if that helps.

Anyway, the phone crashed and won't restart. I pulled the battery out, waited, and popped it back in, and nothing happened. Pulled it out, waited, popped it in, tried the method described here *edit: apparently too new to post links. it was at the htc community.* of trying to bring up the recovery menu. Looks like we have fastboot enabled, which a mod describes as being a known thing. I do the keystroke method as described here, and it brings the menu with the 4 options - reboot, recover, factory reset, and something else, but it doesn't let me navigate with the volume key the way the site and the bootscreen on the phone tell me I should be able to.

So - what went wrong, how can I fix it? I'd rather not have to schlep out to an AT&T store if I don't have to, especially if we can figure it out here. I'd rather not have to do a factory reset, as probably nothing is backed up or saved to the sim, but at this point, I'm worried that's not even an option I can select.

Cliffs:

1. Android phone crashed and won't reboot.

2. Can't make selections in the boot menu using the volume key as I'm supposed to

3. Phone runs through fastboot and fails to start up - I tried the thing I'm supposed to do in response to that as described here *edit: apparently too new to post links. it was at the htc community.*

4. This should be an easy fix / probably something someone here has encountered before.

edit: Don't know if this means anything diagnostically, but while the phone should be fully charged right now, it reads as at 0% when I plugged it in. I figured the utility that measures that probably isn't available at this level in the start-up?

edit2: She mentioned just now that it looked normal when she got up for work. Was at work and tried to use it but it was in airplane mode and she hadn't put in airplane mode herself. She clicked the airplane mode icon to switch out of it and the icon animation just sort of hung. She put it back on her belt like that, it sounds like. When she picked it up again it was in that root menu.

We're not rooted, and these should be vanilla installations.

hi all :D

i want to change my TF ROm into prime 1.7 but they say i must install clockworkmod recovery , i have install room manager and when i want to verify my tablet

there is'nt asus transformer in the list :(

any one have a solution with that ?

tq :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
Sounds like you have not rooted your TF yet. Check the Dev forum for the method that feels best for you and have at it. Then install the custom CWM posted in there also.

That'll get you rolling.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squad99:
i 've root my TF

and i still dont see TF on the list ==
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
That's odd. When I rooted CWM was installed along side.

Have you tried to reboot into Recovery? (Reboot holding down the Power button and pressing Down on the Volume button. Then when the Recovery message pops on in the upper right corner....quickly press Volume up). You must be quick with that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squad99:
or i think because i root it with nvflash ?

because now i use prime 1.4

ok i'll try it :D

===================================

sloved !!!!

but why now i can't mount my sd card ?

they say "Error mounting /sdcard "
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
You need to make sure your uSD is formatted correctly. This error is not uncommon. Windows and CWM often cannot format correctly (uSD).

Use this: https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
ROM Manager is NOT compatible with the Transformer.

Depending of your method of root, a version of CWM usually get install with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Take your micro sd card out, put it in a card reader and plug into your PC via usb port. Run the sd formatter program to format your micro sd card (save anything you don't want to lose first).

im unable to sideload apps using wp7 deploy :(
[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] taruian:
what deployer you are using to sideload the apps?
[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] taruian:
K, done. Everything working fine. Sideloaded all the apps back.

Does anybody notice the Zune doesn't show the song info while playing the music?

Also live games that are side loaded can't be played. As soon as u open the game black screen comes up n it will goes back to Xbox live sreen. Any fix for this? Facing tis prob with angrybirds, few games work fine thou.

Thx for Dft. Will post feedback if I encounter any errors.
[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] superaca:
everything works just fine!

zune

xbox

sideload apps (there is an issue on tom xap deployer, its shows that installing was failed but actually the apps install just fine, multixap deployer works fine)

a bit problem my windows libe contact wont showed up on the first time after sync, i need to import contact from sim first and then everything just fine, windows live contact are there (i only have 4 carrier contact on my sim card).

so the conclusion is AWESOME!!!

[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] Andy.WP7:
Having just recently moved from Android to WP7 I am still new to flashing a Windows phone and so I am a little confused by the installation process:

Installing the HSPL was no problem at all; it now shows HSPL1.32.33350.1

I am trying to do it as stated in the readme.doc that comes with the download. If I just connect my phone in "normal operation" mode, ROMupdateUtility.exe does not recognize the phone at all. If I put the phone into the "tri color screen" (hold "volume -" while powering up), first, it is recognized. Do I have to do that? The instructions do not say so.

The instructions say that I should establish an ActiveSync connection first; AFAIK the ActiveSyns tool is for Windows XP, so I installed the Windows Mobile Device Center instead, which does not recognize the phone in any state. Aren't both ActiveSync and The Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows Mobile devices? Do I still need it, even if ROMupdateUtility.exe does find the phone?

As stated above, ROMupdateUtility.exe finds the phone, but it does not show me the firmware version that is currently installed. It does still offer to update to version 1.32.111.01.

In this scenario, can I run the update to get Mango 7713 installed on my phone?

Please excuse my possibly noob-like questions. I appreciate your help.
