Posted a short while ago from Mark, the forum manager on Motorolas own owners forums......

"No such thing as MR3 or MR5 at this point. We've not even done a first MR on this phone."

I don't know how that's possible given that all 3 I went through had an MR1 installed on them unless that's the base build.

Assuming that Mark is trully someone official, this is not good news folks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tx_dbs_tx:
He sounds clueless. If he knew ANYTHING about the software versions he would have instead said that MR1 was the original release and no future versions were available right now. Or else there was a miscommunication between you two.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
So the 2 releases i leaked that many have already flashed dont exist? So if they dont exist or arent officially from motorola then how were we all able to flash them? This mark doesnt know his ass from a hole in the ground and only spews scripture as directed by motorola...
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
sorry, had to hahahaha

/off topic
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
I wouldn't trust anything Mark says. Not to be mean, but he is not a developer. He is a glorified customer service representative. Any information he gives about the Photon is second hand. In theory the development team is still "preparing" the Photon's source code for public release. Well I hope they don't prepare it too much, i want them to release the actual source code that was used in compiling the kernel in my device.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Oh I get it. See if you did that for unlocking boot loaders, I wouldn't have to ask so many dumb questions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
Are there official release notes available for these updates?
[Motorola Photon 4G] neduzak999:
Just got off the phone with one of sprints level 2 Motorola techs and the update to fix the silent call issue will be released friday the 26th!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] neduzak999:
So stick it out MoPho owners. Just a few more days
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
I work for sprint the release is supposed to come out friday the 26th to fox silk the launch issues in the mean time if you put your phone on performance mode then pull the battery and reboot it seems to help the call muting issue I guess the other modes had something to do with the problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Do you know if said release is going to be the one we already have? MR5? I doubt you would know, but I thought it would be worth a shot. Thanks for the other info nonetheless. That rocks

[Motorola Photon 4G] JCSands1109:
I removed my SIM card Friday afternoon and didn't have the silent call issue after that. I flashed the MR5 update Sunday afternoon and still no silent call issue. I can't say for sure what fixed it for me, but I am a very happy camper.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nrotschafer:
I can confirm it will be out Friday and fixes launch day issues. I can also confirm it is the MR-5 version we already have :) So no reason to wait just update now and be happy!
[Motorola Photon 4G] cwachs:
MR-5 does not fix "death sleep"

I have a brand new Photon that came out of the box with MR-1 (but the new "padded" back cover to keep the battery in). It would either shut off or go into the death sleep every 10 minutes or so. It does it so often, I have to keep the back of my phone off since I pull the battery so frequently.

I factory reset the phone and installed MR-5. Install went fine and the build is now 4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5 It was reported that this build fixes this shutdown / sleep problem in addition to other issues. I've only experienced the random shut down / sleep of death problem.

After upgrading, I updated the PRL and did a second factory reset to be safe. I entered my Google credentials and stopped customizing at that point.

It still shuts off just as frequently as it ever did. No change. I can't tell if it is a full shut down or a sleep that it can't wake up from. The phone does get hot so I am guessing it is/was doing something that crashed everything.

If the phone is on the charger, it never dies. As soon as I take it off charger and put it in my pocket, moments later, I can't wake it up and have to remove the battery - again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] b-reezy:
I work for sprint also. Ive updated multiple photons to MR3 and some have received ota updates to MR5 immediately after today and some haven't. O.o
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
My first photon did that to. I took mine back, the new one has been fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jonni Nitro:
@Cwachs- I took mine if for the exact same reason. It was doing it for about 4 days and I decided to update and root. No luck. Took it back to sprint while the green notification light was blinking but phone was unresponsive. They pulled the battery and rebooted it. Once it booted they poked at it like it was an alien from another planet, took it in the back for 20min, came back and said they had done a wipe/update/recovered all my contacts. The funny thing my phone was untouched and still rooted with the MR5 update I installed on it. They asked me to see if it worked. 15min later I was back in the store and they replaced it. This one seems to be working great.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
Are you guys having silent call issues and wake problems have the lockscreen on?
[Motorola Photon 4G] themoose615:
Padded back? What do you mean?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Very thin bits of foam inside the battery cover. Mine are gray.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jjday7:
The silent bug still exists in MR-5. Thats the problem. I updated and still had the exact same issue. I really hope that it wasn't to official, official because the lag and call issue was still there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
Try disabling lock screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] ghodzilla5150:
I updated via:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202666&page=26

And the silent bug on phone calls went AWAY:D:D:D I was getting sick and tired of rebooting 3-4x a day. Here is my story and call to Sprint:

I spoke with Moto today and of course they played Stupid (as usual). Then I called Sprint and they ended up transferring me to a Manager who guess what, HAD A MOTO PHOTON. We got disconnected and he tried to call me back AND GOT THE SAME ISSUE (Dead Silence) He gave me Credit since last week. He said that it's not a known issue from Moto's side (memos they get) but it happened to him personally, that's just Gold.

I told him about XDA and he knew about XDA. I sent him here and page 26 and he told me, Well I Guess You Will Have to do it the XDA way as we don't have a fix yet (No OTA Estimation of when one will come out) and the XDA way seems to work. I could not believe my Ears, a Sprint Manager telling me to use XDA's fix

I did and it works GREAT. Took about 20 minutes all together and I did not have to Register my phone as it did it by itself. I put Root back on in about 3 minutes and it works just fine.

Thanks for this fix, you are DA MAN. I was getting tired of Rebooting 3-4 x a day JUST TO TALK ON MY PHONE. My AirWave works like it's supposed to now, and my phone will pick up my WiFi A LOT quicker when I come home and out of lock screen. I even get a better WiFi signal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JarkMackson:
I called Sprint to exchange my Photon because of this issue, they said they weren't taking it back because a software update was coming out on Friday.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Disable lock screen?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
Maybe I rephrased it wrong, I meant installing an application like 'no lock'to prevent it from going to the lock screen when screen goes off. I personally use switchpro widget to do this. I dunno... It's been working great for me that's why I mentioned it. No harm trying though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
the update!!!! is here!!!!!!! it happened automatically for me, unlocked my phone and it was doing the countdown, i almost did a backflip!!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
Got to be kidding me.. I just used rsdlight to flash to mr5... I guess this update is the same right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
yep, just more "official" lol, phone is rebooting as we speak!!!!! hope it kept the root....oh no!!!!! i hope they didn't patch it :eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
Can you post a screenshot of your about screen after it boots back up?
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
sorry for the blur but i'm sure you guys can see what's going on
[Motorola Photon 4G] Chitowncraig:
I randomly checked this morning for a update, then went on the forums tonight and figured I would check my phone again and bam UPDATE to MR5 from MR1. The install only took about 5 minutes. Time to re root now. Lets see if this fixes the silent calls and proximity sensor for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
hopefully....i have to re-root :(...hope they didn't patch it:(:(
[Motorola Photon 4G] kritzell:
Thanks guys and gals. I'm updating ota as we speak :)

This is what your phone should look like.

Just scroll thru and you will see what the update does to your phone. Did the ecact to my phone. From MR-3 to CM-5. Works Great:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] cwachs:
Sleep problem continues after MR5

I am running the MR5 update. The problem continued (sleep of death) exactly the same as before. However, I think I may be on to a possible cause. I've factory reset the device to start fresh. It seems to work fine UNTIL I turn on GPS. As soon as the GPS radio is activated, the next time the phone powers down the display, it won't wake back up again and it gets very hot.

This is with no 3rd party apps installed and no customization of the phone. I've now started adding my apps back one by one to see if any of them trigger the sleep of death as well but so far, it seems to be GPS radio related. If I fire up an application that uses GPS, problem comes back (Maps for example, or the local feature in the browser).

Anyone else out there with the sleep of death problem, try turning off the GPS radio and don't use any apps that access GPS and see if the problem goes away.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
Return your phone for a new one. My first one had sleep of death and reboot issues, my new one is perfect. I use the gps all the time. Only radios I don't use is bluetooth and fm.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
I tried doing a MR-5 OTA update from stock sprint (no previous modifications / rooting) and it says :

Check for update not available at this time. please check again later - prl / profile updates did work/apply ,

I am connected to the 3g network as displayed next to clock with full signal bars... tried powering down and restarting phone - still no luck (as of 08/25 ~02:00 Eastern Standard Time Zone)
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Update just worked after switching photon 4g to wifi mode and connecting to my wifi network. Strange why it didn't register via 3g....

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
OK I dropped my Nexus-S in the sink doing dishes this morning :( I grabbed it lightning quick out of the sunk which was not filled up. It did get the phone wet but inky fir one second. I took it apart to sit dry for an hour.

So I turn it on and it actually worked. But the headphone icon is in the notification bar. I never used headphones on this phone.

And watched a uTube video and there was no sound probably because headphone icon on ?

Any tips for phones that fell in the drink ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
I would dismantle the device, put it in rice, let it rest there for like 3 days to a week w/o powering it on.

If your unlucky contacts on the headphone jack (or worse parts) are corroded, have to exchange them then or try plugging in/out a headphone several times.

Hi,

I am currently working on a trivia game platform for Android. There will be several versions released in the coming months. The first of which, 80's music, will be out in September. The app will be free and ad supported.

The questions will be multiple choice with 4 options to choose from. Points are awarded for correct answers with no penalty for wrong answers.

My question is this. If the sky was the limit, what features would you like to see in a trivia app? Also what would you not like to see in an app that has bugged you in other apps?

Here's the current list of features with more to come.

High Score List (With Name)

Select Number of Questions (10, 20, 30, 50 Unlimited)

Sound Toggle

Question Suggestion Submission (Sent via web)

Restart Game

I am also looking for anyone who would like an advance copy to help test. As a thank you for helping to test the app, you will get an ad free release copy. Development copies will have ads for testing only.

Thanks,

George
[General Questions and Answers] One_Two:
I would think that with ad supported you would want it as clean as possible. Maybe something flashy for a right answer. I wouldn't mind getting an advance copy and testing for you.
[General Questions and Answers] Gbaker123:
Thanks for the feedback. It seems great minds do think alike. :) I do have a nice splash page and music when you get the right answer.

Shoot me a PM with your info and I'll put you on the list. Hope to maybe have it ready for serious testing in about a week.

Thanks,

George

given the amount of work the APQ8060 does - it seems that getting android with graphics support shouldn't be the hardest. Graphics is built into the cpu, what else? battery charging might be tricky, usb port, wifi?

The more the core CPU (APQ806) does - less driver work to get a similar device working. there's a good bit of devices that use the same SOC cpu . it would be cool if someone did a teardown to show the insides to see compare to phones/tablets and see what looks the most similar. I'd bet the touchpad is pretty reference design - to get it constructed so quickly they probably stuck to qualcomm's reference design

Here's what I posted on Reddit (context: "it should be doable"):

* The dual-core Qualcomm CPU, obviously

* Wifi: atheros 6003x (potentially same as Galaxy 5)

* Gyroscope: Invensense, who released a library for Android

* Sound: wm89583; hopefully close enough to wm8994 (Galaxy S)

* Bluetooth: Blucore 63T22. Ouch this one might be a problem.

[WebOS Software Development] anghelyi:
Just to clear things a bit: this is not "Android kernel", it's linux kernel, that's what android was built on. There's no such thing as Android kernel. And Samsung's Bada was not built on top of it (unfortunately - it would be much easier to port android), it's built on Nucleus...

Hi all,

i have updated my android market some time ago to v3.0.27, but when i load it, it goes straight to apps section, and i cant get to the homescreen where you have the different categories, i.e. apps, games, books, movies?? any ideas??

im running cool sensation v6a if that helps.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dknox1:
Unfortunately if you are in the UK then the new market only lets you buy and download apps, books and movies don't work :(

You can however download MarketEnabler from the market which lets your phone simulate different sim cards from different countries and you can choose a US one.

When I tried it it still only let me use books...

I'm using the original market because its slower and i don't want to buy books. The only thing I live is the YouTube video previews.
