[HTC Sensation] neozengar:
I don't know if this is my phone's fault. I just sent me sensation to htc for a screen replacement; however, when I receive the phone back, I realize there was problem(?) and I am not sure if that is a software problem or hardware problem. Apparently, when I get a new sms, I will only hear the sound and notification light but the screen won't turn on. Is this normal? I am under the default setting. Thanks for your help!
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
I don't ever recall my phone's screen turning on when I receive anything other than a phone call (on any Android phone). Were you using a 3rd part app by chance?
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Yeah the screen does not turn on, if it's in sleep, when you receive a text message or any kind of notification.

The only way the phone screen turns on while it's in sleep is if you receive a phone call.

Hope this helps!
[HTC Sensation] neozengar:
Ok! Maybe I confused my htc inspire with the sensation since I haven't used it for 2 weeks. I actually prefer that so that it will save battery.
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
No screen lighting up is normal download sms pop up etc in the market.

I was thinking getting a Samsung fascinate, but not sure it will still be available on Sept 15. I might just wait till Droid incredible 2 drops in price.
[Droid Eris General] PillClinton:
If you're set on the DInc2, keep an eye on Wirefly & LetsTalk. They have both had the phone for free at different times w/ a new contract &/or upgrade.

[HTC EVO 3D] oscarq:
Ok sorry if this has been discussed before but this is the first time I Rooted a phone. Last night I followed the Guide and sucessfullly Rooted My EVO 3D. I have S-OFF and Titanium Backup shows super user access.

I seleceted "NO" to clockwork recovery during the rooting process because the guide said that it could crash and I wanted to make the process as seamless as possible. Now I want to install a custom ROM and want to know how to install Clockwork Recovery manually on my phone.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
Use twrp...nuff said
[HTC EVO 3D] raymond4:
You can download ROM manager and get clockwork that way
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
Yrs twrp. The best
[HTC EVO 3D] will survive:
+1. I'm used to using clockworkmod even though TWRP has more features. Use Rom Manager app to flash clockworkmod 4.0.1.5
[HTC EVO 3D] oscarq:
Sweet, Thanks. I am Backing up my ROM now before installing another. Any recommendations on which ROM(s) I should try?
[HTC EVO 3D] digitalcrash:
im running xron rc1 with nets v 1.0 kernal
[HTC EVO 3D] raymond4:
I recommend supra ROM it is good I'm using it right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Viper all the way.
[HTC EVO 3D] MrTrackZed:
I used Unrevoked, everything went smooth. I currently have TeamWin's recovery, but can I also install ClockworkRecovery? I have no idea if they would interfere with one another, or if having both is even possible?
[HTC EVO 3D] mexiking713:
If you use the revolution tool again its gonna tell you that you already have s off but it asks you if you want to download and install clockwork recovery. Y and enter and you got clockwork :D Found this by accident when I tried rooting a friends phone but didn't know he had s off already.

[HTC EVO 3D] DirtyMildew:
Nice Dood. This did it for me, even though i already had S-Off for like 8 days, I was lost. Does what it says, asks to download CWM since ur already S-off'd... AWESOME:D
[LG Revolution] Pinesal:
So, it seems that apps see the the internal SD card as it's default storage... So when I moved my SD card from my old phone to the LG Revolution, app can't find their data because they are looking for it in the internal SD card instead of the one I inserted into the phone.

Is there any solution for this?
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Do you have root? If so you can use root explorer to move them from external to internal
[LG Revolution] Pinesal:
Yeah, I was able to root.

Well see, my external SD card is 32GB and that's where I want all my podcasts and photos to go but apps want to put everything on the internal SD.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
I'm not sure I'm getting what you want to do with root explorer you should be able to move whatever you want between the two
[LG Revolution] Pinesal:
I don't want to have to move stuff over. I have all my podcasts on my external SD card but my podcast player doesn't see them because the podcast player is looking for them in the internal SD card.

I was hoping there was a way to make the external SD card the default storage for the phone.

I am not sure what the point of using an external SD card if apps aren't programmed to use it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] b-reezy:
Haha I'm waiting for the link too. I'm going to knock some themes out this weekend. Hopefully development picks up for the MoPho.

Bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked to flash does it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
Try this yet? ScreenGrab App

Can't wait Kenneth! Saw your work over in Atrix forums...looks great man!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Almost all of the screenshots were taken using the Android SDK tools. But, one or two were taken with "Screenshot It."

Yeah, it's got to be unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Download links are online. Beta test at your own risk!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
DLing now....
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
Make sure to give feedback and read the FAQ "Help" section on the front page. :) Thanks for testing!
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:
whats the bloatware file for?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennethpenn:
I took out a number of applications from the ROM. The bloatware zip allows users to bring back the deleted applications.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dschachm:
I also have the alien rom installed. I am not unlocked bur yeah my percentage. Is in 10's.
[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
I notice that theres not been an update since the release. Is this ROM dead? I dont wanna flash with the issues that Im reading if no fix is up and coming? Just curious...love the overall "look" of the ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] halorin:
I'm as eager for progress as the next guy but I think it could be considered a little rude to show such impatience. Source came out this week. Quality can take time.

An update would be nice but there ate better approaches than this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rhyme187:
i agree with this bro and we all make mistakes lol but think about it this way this rom is like WINE the longer it takes for us to get more wine the finer the taste ya digg
[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
All I was inquiring about was whether or not Kenneth was developing anymore on this ROM? I wasnt being rude in any way. Plus 2 weeks and no post of any kind from the dev would more than likely lead anyone to believe that a different project is in the works or something!

MY BAD!! :o
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
What are you basing that on? Ive found performance to be excellent here in So Cal on my Photon it kicks butt including a friends Verzion thunderbolt on LTE

Ive migrated two small fixed site customer (three PC's each sites) off really bad DSL (Verzion again) to Clear Wimax for Internet service and it has been a major improvement... and this is in an area Clear states they had bad to no coverage...just had to do a site survey to find best place for best siginal on the modem

Seeing 10 meg down, 1.5 meg up
[Motorola Photon 4G] air2k57:
In Atlanta and denver 4g blows. Always losing signal, very spotty and low. You drain more battery with 4g on as you always need to reconnect, it's crazy. And even on it you always time out and rarely get more than 2mbps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
Is the Photon your first Sprint 4G Phone? because I would check to see if your phone may have a problem...one thing Ive see is after I get my ip address the Wimax will have no data to send and was giving the impresstion it dropped but it just no TX or RX actitvy...so at first I was toggling 4G thinking I was droped... but soon found out I was still linked and on network
[Motorola Photon 4G] air2k57:
Nope, photon, epic, nexus, evo, evo 3d. Everyone I know has same issues here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I completely agree, if you even ask one thing about an upcoming build/patch anything to find out if a ROM is alive or dead, here come the 'it's rude police'. I have noticed it so much lately its ridiculous. We have a right to know if a ROM is still in development or not, it isn't being rude. Too many police in these forums. If you all want to put a dead ROM on your phone then so be it, but he is right, there has been no post from the Dev in a long while, with no updates and no talk of any update. Most of us have been posting things that are wrong, bugs that are happening, without any dev response. If anyone is working on anything besides seanz (star wars rom), that is news to me. Awfully quiet in these parts. (meaning the dev forum). Besides the source release post, there hasn't been any new threads to speak of anything in Development or anything even going on. Crickets

On the other hand, demanding something be fixed or an update be released is definitely uncalled for. But he clearly wasn't doing that.

[Motorola Photon 4G] HondaCop:
There is the problem. You don't have a right to anything. The ROM is provided free of charge and AS-IS. You guys should be smart enough to figure out on your own if a certain ROM has been stalling on updates and whether it should be safe or not to flash it. The sense of entitlement and the "I have a right" mentality around here is what is driving away many great devs from even trying to put stuff out in the first place.

here's an idea u learn to compile a ROM with all the tutorials available or wait PATIENTLY for a FREE RoM to be made with the PRECIOUS TIME of another PERSON
[Motorola Photon 4G] nickespi:
HEY!!! NOT DIRECTING ONLY AT U!! BUT yes He can ask what ever He or Anyone feels, We and They do have a Right!! Its just a simple question!! This is why XDA is one of the most arrogant and unproductive forums when it comes to People needing help.. IT REALLY IS A MESS compared to other sources and everybody here is a "KNOW IT ALL"

I personally would LIKE TO KNOW!!! BECAUSE I JUST MAYBE WANT TO RETURN IT AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT DEVICE..It a simple question that can be answered with no feeling attached, E tards.. I rarely talk a bunch of crap but lame posts that are as unproductive as "THIS""MEANING MY POST HERE" happen when lil chumps act like they're helping BUT AREnt PROVIDING **** themselves..

If the project isn't going on anymore some people may want to return there device if they're in there 30 day window..there is more to the questions being asked then to Simply BUG the DEV, or being eager, sometimes it helps to be reassured, this is ALMOST THE WHOLE REASON THIS FORUM EXISTS...

[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
Im about 40 mins out of chicago. If u aren't in the city, 4g becomes more of a battery drain than anything else. Downtown I can get 8-10mbps but where I live I get 3-4 and the battery drain is too significant for those speeds. Plus, not being downtown means it'll jump in n out of 4g n 3g alot. My buddy with the thunderbolt rocks 17mbps in my town, prolly over 20 downtown. vzw definitely has out mapped sprint already when it comes to 4g in major metropolitan areas and surrounding suburbs. But I still can't justify paying so much more for speeds I don't really have a need for currently on a mobile device. If I had an obsession with downloading torrented music and videos to my phone instead of my computer at home, im sure id feel differently.

True 4th Generation mobile data networks are supposed to be 75mpbs at the least. Thus, current "4G" is a joke and just a marketing campaign. Clearwires advanced LTE will be one of the first truly 4g networks topping speeds they claim of 125mbps.

Auto-rotate not working

Hi guys, thanks for all your help! I just wanted to point out that I was finally able to get the unlock, Alien ROM/THEME up and running!

2 things I noticed:

1) I thought the battery mod should have shown 1% increments instead of 10%...am I incorrect?

2) The auto-rotate function (when turning the phone on it's side) does seem to work either. *** UPDATE: I AM AN IDIOT - I had checked the auto-rotate option, and didn't do it for the launcher *sigh* sucks being a noob ***

Does anyone have this problem as well? Just curious if there was a fix for this?

Thanks again to the dev team!
[Motorola Photon 4G] smoothone:
I would like to know if their will be any more development on this rom? Simple yes or no. I don't care if anyone likes it or not! If their isn't then thanks for taking the time to make this one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] M@XLOL:
it should be in 1% increments.

he hasn't updated the rom in the Atrix section since the fourteenth. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186537.
[Motorola Photon 4G] smoothone:
Well thanks for the info. I know people have a lot of things on their plate sometimes but it would still be nice to know if the dev still has any interest on this at all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] htcSlide:
Wannabe 4G? Maybe where u r.. But my sexy MoPho pulls up to 12Mbps around here!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] itsallsubliminal:
yes wannabe... cuz its not real 4G, its just 12Mbps lol. Maybe in comparison to what we are used to with 3G, it is faster. but I don't have need for it at the moment, so i don't use it and prefer saving battery. I understand it has benefits for some users, but Using 3G only, my battery drains about 20% every 6-7 hours, and i actually use my phone during the day. Based on my usage, i benefit from not using it.

anyways, as with practically every opinion on this forum, "to each their own" :cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Hey M@XLOL..It seems that after wiping cache/dalvik/battery stats and reflashing the theme, I'm still getting the 10% increments. Should I reflash the ROM? I'd hate to have to reinstall everything...damn that would be such a pain...either that I better just deal with it..LOL!
[Motorola Photon 4G] gpgorbosjr:
Anyone know what happened to briefmobile.com?
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
what happened to kenneth..
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I had the same issue, so I went to the market and downloaded something called Battery Circle. Shows in 1% increments. So that's one option I guess?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay, so I flashed the Alien ROM, and after the first time charging I wind up with a check mark where the number or percent of battery life was? Not a big deal, just wondering if that's common or a fixable issue. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mustangmatt1966:
That means the battery is fully charged, it will change once the battery level drops.
[Motorola Photon 4G] zgroten:
Just flashed, looks great!

However, Outbound text messages fail to send. I've reflashed 3 times, wiping data and cache each time. Inbound works. Outbound calls work. Just outbound texts not working.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
does anyone EVER get signal bars to show on this rom

mines always nothing but it works..

it could be cause im using 'global' or GSM , but on stock id have 4 bars, so i think its a rom issue
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
battery reporting and life are terrible, back to stock i go
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I was readin' in the star wars ROM thread someone said there is a 1.2 of the Alien ROM, is this true? Or did I just read it wrong.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
Did a quick search and were you referring to this?

That poster was referring to SW 1.2.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yes I was. And roger that. Thanks. Got confused.
[Motorola Photon 4G] zgroten:
:confused:

I am having the same exact problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Since flashing this ROM I am not having any problems with outbound or inbound texts/calls. Data is working fine. So maybe it is a service issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] zgroten:
Upon further review it's only happening with Facebook contacts. A work around is to manually dial their number and it goes through.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Yeah...I used battery circle..its a good app, but if the mod works, then theres no need. I wanted less widgets on the screen too to lessen battery drain. Thanks though!

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

Any word on when this rom will be updated?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dingo502:
How do i do that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] 2JZ GZE:
See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270517

basically edit your build prop file in your system files and then boot into recovery and clear your cache and reboot. you will get an error when you reboot, but then after that you will never need to update again. i used a program called root explorer to edit the file

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Sprint doesn't sell the Photon. It just an android phone that they have in stock that nobody wants because it's not as good as the Evo, Nexus, 3D, GSII, iPhone, Shift, Epic or Optimus. About the only smart phone it outsells is the Arrive. The way Sprint has treated the Photon has been a disservice to customers, moto and Sprint themselves. It's no wonder that it's one of the worst selling Android phones Sprint carries.

With that being said, only one or two devs here actually went with the Photon. shabby, for example, started work on the Photon because he noticed that NOBODY gave, what is the best of webtop phones, a second glance.
[Motorola Photon 4G] iLLa:
