Yes, you are correct about the takeover, it will be ran as a separate company, as I have read, I will edit my post.

I wouln't say a slow death of blur, for our Photons, but that is quite possible for newer Motorola Android devices, but at the same time, Motorola may work with Google's android developers to make a better blur-esque UI. Who knows?

Remember, if all goes as reportedly planned, then Google has the Blur patent...
[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
I dunno about you guys, but the new blur is not so bad for me. I came from a Cliq and this ghost blur or interface is a major improvement.

[Motorola Photon 4G] djshifted:
That would all depend on the cable provider as well, however most (if not all) cable companies offer just a cable card that I'm sure future Motorola cable boxes will accept, if you purchase the box from an official retailer. Though you'll of course at least have to have the tv service through satellite/cable provider.
[Motorola Photon 4G] djshifted:
The acquisition, though, makes me wonder if I should get the Photon, or keep using my X10 Mini Pro for a while to see what comes next
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I agree. I like this blur, a lot. It's not bad at all. Good job Motorola!
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
The ultimate decision is entirely up to you, but I personally think the photon is a great choice for all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Well Agreed.

Thanks Alot

[Galaxy S I9000 General] masterslacker:
I used the manual method of editing the nv_data.bin file as described here:

The SGS Unlock Pro app mentioned before is also in that thread, and does the same thing, but it is a paid app.

Good luck!

Just wanting to let you know that there is more than likely a Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) firmware update for your phone.

thx Guys ,,

i tried SGS unlock from market but it shows unlock code as : null !!!

also i tried manually search and edit nv_data.bin but i ddnt find it and find bml3.bak

(as other methods says) also tried to search it for SSNV but no success!!

whats is the guranteed methid even if it possible to get back to 2.1 !!

please help me

note: (phone doesnt ask for code when i insert another SIM !!)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dlockhart:
Buy the SGS Unlocker from market author Degantboy or something like that.. the paid version 100% works on my phone.... it use to show me unlock code on 2.1 but not 2.2+ but still unlocks my phone.

Run the unlock procedure, reboot phone, shut phone off, place in new sim card, power up phone, if the phone isn't unlocked re-run app with new SIM card and reboot, voila should fix your problem.

Your phone needs to be rooted. and the free versions don't work for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigfoots1:
you can always just buy the unlock code to unlock the sim restriction.

http://unlockcellphonecode.com/code-for-unlocking-samsung-cell-phone

worked for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
While we're on this topic, I used one of the free apps back when I had 2.1 to get the unlock code.

I've never used it, but I have the code saved. Now that I have updated to 2.2 and then 2.3, would the code still work?

Hmm another factor is that I must have done that before I had the phone repaired (as the repaired one came back with 2.2). I wonder if whatever board they replaced will have a different unlock code? I guess it might be based on the IMEI? Not sure if that changed or not...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phzi:
Nv data hex edit. Change a 1 to 0, and permanent unlock. search for instructions, they are on this forum and search really isn't that hard to use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yokocar:
Guys, once the Bell SGS is unlocked, which networks can it run on? I'm specifically interested in Wind. Can it run on AWS/1700?

Sorry for the slight hi-jack but I can't find accurate info anywhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] urself25:
You must get confused by the T-mobile Vibrant when searching for information. The Bell SGS does not have band 1700, as such, it will not work on Wind. The T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant includes 1700 but does not have band 850/1900.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CASz:
I used superoneclick to root then purchased SGS Unlock Pro. When I upgraded to GB via Kies, the unlock remained. I had used the app that got the unlock code but when I re-locked my device, the code stopped working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SaxGuyTy:
found that the free version of SGS Unlocker

(Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool DaGentooBoy)

and Galaxy S Unlock (by Helroz) don't unlock the i9000m running android 2.3.3

(superoneclick was used for rooting)

sorry couldn't post links
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ordio:
I have used Galaxy S Unlock by Helroz, however in order for it to work, you may have to install/upgrade busybox.

I found the easiest way to do this was to superoneclick, then install titanium backup and make sure it has root access. Then upgrade busybox from within. Then you can use the Galaxy S Unlock to unlock.

i did this on my newer phone, and also on my family member's Galaxy S2 from Bell.

I have tried to run the unlock code generator by feeding it the nv_data.bin, but my GPU is not supported, and I'm not exactly keen on messing up my EFS files.

I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for me?

Perhaps I could have you guys run the tool with the attached nv_data.bin?

If you open the music player and click "now playing" at the bottom, it will be removed from your notification.

Edit: Actually, you have to pause the song with the music app open. Then when you close the app, the notification will be gone.

[General Questions and Answers] squarephase:
I have an HTC Evo 4G (Sprint) and it is stuck in a continuous reboot; it gets to the music then the 4G logo and then reboots.

I got my phone originally with Android 2.1 but updated to 2.3

I have restarted it several times, taken the battery out for awhile. Let the unit cool down. I have connected it to my charger and it still didnt work. I plugged it in to my computer but it would never recognize it.

I have been into the reset menu, and have tried the recovery option, but I recieved the Phone logo with a red triangle with a red exclamation mark. I kind of know what the other options are but dont know enough to actually use them or if they can help.

I have been searching the internet and this site looking for any options other than a hard reset.

So I have really two questions:

Is there a way to pull my contacts off?

And if I take it to Sprint do they have any machines to pull of the contacts or will they just do a hard reset too?

Hey -

I want to upgrade to a 32gb card, what is the best brand? I know that some are faster or slower than others - how do you choose an SD card?

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loki154:
By class speed then the storage
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I don't think I would ever see a difference in the speeds available in "classes" on my phone unless it was a defective card. I picked up this card on amazon and have been very happy.

Sure, I'd love a class 10 card but I don't think the DInc2 can even do anything with that. Nor can my bank account take it :rolleyes:

I'm a little surprised the prices haven't come down further.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The only way you will benefit from a class 10 card is if you do photography in raw format with a requirement for rapid snapshots or 1080p video recording in a higher quality. You'd be better off saving the money by getting a good quality class 6, or even a class 4.

I'm using a Kingston Class 4 32gb card without many issues. I did have a weird issue with the 720p recording at one time, but I haven't tested with CM yet to see if it was possibly a software glitch.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] klm22:
Your phone will perform poorly with a class 10. Higher classes have faster sequential access times at the expense of random access lag, and the vast majority of what your phone will be doing is random access.

The only things that benefit from class 10 is things like cameras, that write huge files (sequentially) all day.

The short answer is get a class 4 or 6, Sandisk tends to have good random access stats.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
Just for reference, the DINC2 comes with a a SanDisk class 4.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Roscoe2008:
The day after I traded my Evo 3D for a Photon I started having to powercycle the phone to be able to make or receive calls. Out of my 30 days. Stuck with phone. Dont want a refurb. Anybody heard of any resolutions to this? Further research has shown I am not the only one to have this problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Some of the phones have this issue, but very few, give Sprint a call, and see what they can do, but first, check and make sure your settings are all set and that you are all activated properly...

Did this only happen once, or more???

If once, don't sweat it, we all have a few glitches, am I right?

If not, stay posted, as I myself would like to hear the insite of other posters, as myself.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Roscoe2008:

[Motorola Photon 4G] eibbojtir:
Same here. Only a couple of times, but I probably only make 10 calls a month.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
Rumor has it if you remove the sim card it will fix the problem. It eas the first thing i did when i got mine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rmcvey:
Could Be the Sim??..??

I had this problem when I first got the phone, and I had to reset at least once to twice a day to make Phone Calls, it would make and connect the call, but I could hear nothing and neither could the person I connected with.

While just trying an At&t sim in it, to see if it would work on their towers, I changed out the sim, and once i changed back to the sprint sim, I have not had this problem since, So while I can't say that's what fixed it, it can't hurt to try it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Roscoe2008:
May be stupid question but leaving the card out wont cause in any problems? ......think I just figured out the answer to that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
Mine doesnt seem to have any ill effects.

Thank you DSD I'll give it a try.

I've only had my MoPho for about a week now, but have had to power cycle my phone multiple times due to this same issue. Tried the sim card theory..it still did it today.

[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
Install cache cleaner from the market and set it to clear cache every hour.... It takes care of this silent call issue :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Roscoe2008:
Which cache cleaner?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
Can be any cache cleaner but i use app cache cleaner by infolife llc and never had the silent call issue since :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] LouieGrandie:
Very few? Some Best Buys are reporting that EVERY Photon they have sold have come back with the no audio on calls issue. On EVERY board dealing with cell phones, Android, Sprint or Motorola there are long threads of users dealing with the no audio on calls issue and trying to find fixes. IMHO this is a serious issue with the phone and Motorola and Sprint have yet to issue a statement or give any time table for a MR.

Here are some of the suggested fixes, none of which have worked for me.

1. Install MR5 found in the developers section

2. Set the Network to Sprint Only.

3. Install APP Cache Cleaner.

4. Install Juice Defender.

5. Power Off Power On the phone every morning.

But when is that update coming? I'm growing a little impatient and with the SGSII right around the corner I'm tempted to return the Photon and wait out it's release. I really like the design of this phone but do need it to work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jeff_in_LA:
I pulled my SIM card, weird it seems to have zero effect. Maybe it's only for international.

I also pulled my Micro SD. I hope this helps. I will post my findings in a day or two.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Roscoe2008:
The device solutions portal at work has this as a known issue now and pulling the battery is said to be the only fix at this time. I tried the cache cleaner and that did not work trying the phone with the sim out. I should know if this is going to work by early evening. My phone is pretty consistant at screwing up. Let you know what happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Roscoe2008:
So far so good calls are going thru

We will see in the morning
[Motorola Photon 4G] stu5797:
just installed the cache cleaner because calls were not working. Cleared cache and then tried another call and it still did not work. Reboot
[Motorola Photon 4G] air2k57:
Same here, really annoying to have to pull the battery pretty much every time I have a call come in, or I need to make one. I literature have this issue about 80% of the time I have a call. And with MOTOBLUR being slow and taking ages to boot..... yea, doesn't really help. Seems like a major issue, how could they overlook it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfenton57:
Personally, I think they knew of the issue and sent it out anyway.

If they didn't catch it, they are pathetic at Beta testing or they simply rely on the consumer to do it for them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nerorising:
Alright time for my update. So, I installed app cache cleaner as was suggested--settings on one hour, still had the silent calls issue. Haven't put the SIM back in since I read that the removal of which would help. Still had the issue. I can't for the life of me figure this out. I"m only in my second week of ownership of this device but if it continues to progress like it has, I"m going to just return it and wait it out for the SGSII. I've always had good luck with Samsung products (and after reading the way the Moto people treated Yay4Jugs) I'm not so certain making the jump to Moto now was the best idea. I'll wait till Google gets them lined out proper. Sorry..back on topic...The only thing that's resolved my silent calls issue is power cycling my phone first thing in the morning as I leave for work. No problems throughout the day after that. I appreciate all the suggestions, good to have a friendly forum around for a change.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Roscoe2008:
Well the cache cleaner didn't work and neither did taking the sim out. Lets just hope the update that is suppose to come out in a few days helps the issue. If not I may have to get another line to go back to an HTC. Really disappointing Motorola.

Update failed?

I had updated the PRL: 51081 without problems

I also had updated the Profile as well..

Build: 4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_MR-1

I went through the Update again and it failed...I tried updated the PRL again and it gave me the COMMS_NON_FATAL error

Not sure, but is it possible that freezing/uninstalling stuff on Titanium BU is screwing with this? I haven't tried wifi yet, but if it doesn't work, I'll give it a go. Thanks for your help!

--- BTW, when I go to update, the phone powers off, and boots up. After the motorola splash screen (which I have yet to change), I get the android with the triangle caution symbol and the status bar which goes up to about 20% and then the phone reboots...is this what other people are experiencing? ---
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mogupyogu:
I was having the voice issues with my phone as well. I did the update yesterday and it seems to have resolved the problem. It hasn't happened again since but I did have to re-root the phone. If your update is failing maybe try removing your root access and doing it again? You can re-root once the update is complete. I would also try unfreezing everything you've frozen with TBU. I ran into very similar problems updating my EVO and when I thawed the apps I had frozen in TBU I could update no problem....just a thought.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LouieGrandie:
I am not saying this will work for everyone but yesterday I received a no audio call. I remembered that Sprint/Motorola had referred to it as Mute by Default so although the Mute button was not active I pressed it. Guess what, I could hear the call. I hit the Mute button again to deactivate and guess what, no audio. Ok that's weird.

If anyone else receives a no audio call could you please hit the mute button and see what happens. Thanks
