[Motorola Photon 4G] Becoming:
Except that it doesn't have a worse camera or less storage. A quick Google search will prove that statement is absurd (hint, it's built into your phone - try it).

I just got my wife a Photon about a week or so ago, and it's a terrific phone. It's everything I was hoping the Evo 3d would be, but wasn't. Great signal, fast, good battery life, kickstand and great volume. The screen is just fine also.

Go play with one and you'll see for yourself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pukemon:
Im not on sprint but being that the atrix and photon are similarly specced aside from both having Qhd screens but the photon screen is 4.3 inches. The photon should get excellent reception, gps, be fast overall, has good wifi reception and speed, super bright led backlit screen which should be turned down by the way to save battery, and I don't know what size battery it has but it should get great battery life still. Tegra games and heavy 3g downloading can and will suck juice fast so try to be plugged in for that. Is the speaker loud and clear also? It is by far the best mono speaker I have ever hears on the ATRIX. Nokia wins on stereo speakers though.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Motorola Photon 4G] acjohnson55:
The Photon is fast as hell, but no frills. Don't expect a whole lot of extra options; it just works well and works very quickly. Build quality is very good, although the back cover is awkward to detach. Battery life is also phenomenal, partially due to its RGBW screen.

Some people don't like the screen though, because the subpixel pattern is visible, especially at high brightness--to me images on the phone look halftoned, i.e. they look like newspaper images. I don't find that distracting, and I actually think it's kind of cool but some people can't stand it.

If you're a power user and you want to get the most out of this phone, you're going to need 3rd party apps. Fortunately, I already own a bunch from my previous Android phones. If you use a home screen replacement, one nice thing about MotoBlur is that its widgets are normal Android widgets, so they're compatible with most home screen replacements. The Photon is also super easy to root.

So overall, I recommend the Photon. However, I, myself, will probably be exchanging it for the Epic 4G Touch on Sept. 9, just because I think that phone still sounds like the best of the new pack.

I'm loving my photon coming from Evo 4G. The only way I'd dump it is Sprint getting the iphone 5.

I'm neutral when it comes to ios vs android. I like the customization of android,but the apps and the UI is of much lower quality compared to ios,and the whole update thing is a crapshoot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Just wanted to point out to junk mail sucks that:

1) AMOLED is nice agreed but the colors are over saturated and until the amoled plus they had the same pentile display minus the white pixels. Not discrediting your opinion just interjecting so facts.

2) the kick stand, in the manual it says you can turn the phone over, but some apps and even menus do not follow. However the complaint about carrying extra hardware is mute... since very few other phones have a kickstand. Was impossible to watch movies on my nexus s. Just saying.

Other than that i feel you were spot on and again, not trying to detract from your opinion just trying clear the smoke and add some facts.

I can uninstall the 15 system apps I never use from CM7.0.3 using Titanium BU but they re-appear after reboot (in system/app).

[General Questions and Answers] mikedavis120:
Open the zip file containg your ROM update. Search for the data/apps and delete the ones u don't want then reflash the update. Uninstall the apps right before booting into recovery. That should do it lemme know if it works.

Flashed the modified zip. Success.

Booting hung at the white screen with "htc" in green.

I guess I should try S-OFF instead.

[General Questions and Answers] dvfk:
S-OFF did the trick :) uninstalled apps stay gone now!

I used the AlphaRev 1.8 linux boot CD, though, so my radio still has the security bit set but the new HBOOT ignores it.

Perhaps I should try to remove the security bit too in the radio but I don't know how.
[General Questions and Answers] mikedavis120:
Wtf? If u have s off functionabliity why take away any chance that the tech inspection your phone for a warranty can start to bootloader see a big ol s on and just grant your return? First thing they look for is a way outta spending money. The word off after that s gives them a damn good one.

[General Questions and Answers] dvfk:
Ah you mean removing the actual S/secure bit would void the warranty. Well I guess if I can remove it I can set it again back to normal.

I can easily overwrite the new hboot with the original again so I shouldn't have to worry about voiding the warranty. The S-OFF hboot shows VERY clearly as it has a new title, S-OFF written and the boot-screen is the face of the Joker from batman with a card saying S-OFF :) - htc no longer appears.

Hey all,

I have a series of disasters this week starting from my car and now (hopefully ENDING) with my HTC Desire being stuck at the splash screen after Battery went dead 00% ....

Now, after the battery went to 00% it didn't actually say "Shutting down" it just turned off... so i charged it and tried to turn on the device but it's stuck on the SPLASH SCREEN... i REALLY need fast help as i need my phone in a couple of hours from now...

Technical details:

ROM: LeeDrOiD V3.3.3-Port-R5

Android: 2.3.3

Wiping Dalvik

Wiping Battery stats

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigoshere:
1. Make sure that your phone is off.

2. Plug charger (not from PC).

3. Wait ~30 minutes.

4. Try boot.

5. If failed, try wipe battery stats.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
Could be a problem with the data on SD-ext ... (Caused by the loss of power) or even the partition itself. Could be, that you have to restore a Nandroid. If that doesn't help, I would make the partitions on SD new (i recommend gparted) . Don't forget to safe your files from the fat32 partition. Then restore the Nandroid again...

If you need more help with this, write back...

Just a quick update for whoever faces the problem in the future and present (after reading some Q&As there are people with a similar problem to mine)

Try reflashing the ROM, you'll lose any UOT theme, extra zips that you've flashed but you'll be up n running in no time :)

Umm... I'm not sure I get it. I want to help, but... not sure what I read just now.

A locked lock and an unlocked lock on opening screen? It means that the lockscreen is either password protected or is open and without a password protection. Set up a password of some sort if you want a locked lock I guess, maybe... I'm lost...

I could fixed by taking the card out, soft reset and starting the phone, then after the initial configuration I went to Settings->About, did a Factory Reset, and while restarting I put the card back in. And it worked again. But then (again) after changing the language and restarting it does not recognize the card anymore.

latest CWM is the orange 4.0.1.4 version... if you're having problems rooting just flash a superuser.zip, search the dev section for it as myself and others have posted it recently

OK I tried to reflash cwm with odin with more times with different usb ports and a stock cable.

All I really want is pb and j to kill bloatware if the new update is coming soon now that Steve kondik is with samsung I will just wait!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
ok well this should do it:

1. power off phone and take out battery

2. open odin on your pc

3. hold volume down button and connect to pc, should show download mode and should show up in odin, let go of volume down

4. put battery back in, uncheck 'auto reboot' and put the CWM file in PDA

5. push start and let odin flash the file, should only take a few seconds

6. unplug phone from pc, then remove battery

7. put battery back in

8. hold volume up, home button and power button until you see 'Samsung' then let go of power button

that should get you into CWM and you can work from there, since you don't have a custom kernel to make CWM 'stick' on your phone do not let the phone boot up or you will need to odin CWM again... you basically get one try with it
[Verizon Droid Charge] cookemandan:
That must be my problem i will try

I am flashing the kernal via cwm should I still flash the SU file or will PBJ keep root access?

ive done so many benchmarks on htc sensation nd gs2..but i still find the gs2 win by a huge margin...but on the other hand..the anandtech benchmark on 1.5ghz msm 8660 showed that it beats all the other gpu's such as mali 400 with its adreno 220...but still y cant it cant beat up the gs2? what is the main reason for this?? and is the msm 8660 on cdma evo 3d is jus d same as 8260 except for cdma connectivity? or it has its differences?? will there b a better benchmark on msm8260 anywhere soon?? even the latest smartbench 2011 which supports dual cores also lists the 8260 at lower benchmark!!! sum1 plz explain,,,...and y msm 8660 is way powerfull than exynos though it shows low benchmarks??
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
The Exynos is IMO an overall better processor than any Qualcomms. The Exynos is a ARM Cortex-A9 processor while the Sensation's is from what I understand similar to ARM Cortex-A8 architecture. The only advantages the Sensation's processor has over the GS2's are on paper: the Adreno 220 GPU is supposedly better, and the Sensation has asynchronous cores, which the GS2 doesn't have. Otherwise, I don't really know what makes the Exynos better, and I also don't know what the difference is between the Sensation and Evo 3D units.
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
the 8660 is the CDMA version of the 8260
[HTC Sensation] knickscity:
I don't put alot of stock into benchmarks, and very few are accurate because they can't truly read dual cores.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
To the two noobs in post 1 and post 2

The Sensation processor really isnt inferior compared to the SGS2

Why do i say that, because your sensation at this moment in your time in your hand is probably ONLY using one core. the 2nd core will be in an idle state and only activate when you need it.

THE SGS2 no matter what u do, both cores will work together, even when your just looking at touchwiz you are using two cores, even with the screen off in your pocket your using two cores, there is no way to turn one off, thus consumes a little more battery.

With the sensation the 2nd core kicks in when you need the power. they do not work together. Currently if you are looking at the dev thread in the development section you will see the progress.

SImpler term

think of a turbocharger

SGS2 uses two turbos continuously,

Sensation uses one turbo but when it needs more power the 2nd turbo kicks in
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
I'm well aware that no one has really been able to push the Sensation's processor to what it's capable of. That said, I have done my research on the SGS2 and Sensation processors and still believe that the Exynos is superior to the Qualcomm. I am excited to see what the Sensation can do when we can explore its power, but I still think that it will fall a little short of the Exynos because of the similar to A8 vs. A9 architecture. My prediction is that once proper dual-core support comes for us, we will easily be able to get better performance than the SGS2 has stock, but when it comes to fully modded out Sensation vs. fully modded out SGS2, the SGS2 will still be faster.

To use another car analogy, it's like saying "my car isn't inferior" just because if you throw on some bolt-ons you will be able to get marginally better performance than a stock competitor. But, if both cars were to be fully modded (bolt-ons, FI'd, proper custom engine management, better rubber, etc.), the other car would pull ahead. Essentially, I think that the ultimate the SGS2 can achieve is greater than the ultimate that the Sensation can achieve (but it won't be by much once proper support comes out).
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Exynos's A9 has shorter pipelines and is fully out of order and the Sensation's Adreno, despite being faster, has to render at a higher resolution.

Sure, the Qualcomm may win some synthetic benchmarks, but the A9 is still faster due to a better architecture. Same way how K8 was better than Netburst despite the latter having higher clocks, cache, etc, but its deep pipeline was ultimately one of its bigger flaws.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
The A9 will always have a 20-25% performance benefit over the A8 if they are running at the same clock speed. The Scorpion architecture is based off of the A8, but it also has some A9 elements because there's so such thing as a dual-core A8 processor. The performance of the Scorpion is somewhere in between an A8 and an A9 because of this. The Exynos at its current state inside of the GSII is clocked at the same speed as the MSM8x60 inside of the Sensation and EVO 3D which is why it has a performance advantage. If it were clocked at 1.5 GHz, then the MSM8x60 would probably have the same type of performance, if not better.

Hope that helped.
