I don't seem to be having any problems with the Photon and Airave at all. I have one of the older models that's voice only, I wish I had the one that's data as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ORam78:
I have the new airave and my photon connects just fine. I also don't have that issue anymore either where my evo would send the same message a million times to the same person...lol...not one blip with the mopho and airave!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jeffrey_L:
I have the newer airave, and the Photon connects just fine. I do have problems with the airave fairly often. Probably once or twice a week I have to reboot the airave because it loses its internet connection, or stops putting calls through. The issue is always the airave, though, not the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bigjim1488:
I guess I will have to see if sprint will send me a newer one. I have had this one for two years now and I really can't live without it. The reception in my house is terrible and if sprint didn't send me one of these for free I would have dropped my service........no point in having a carrier that you can only use outside your house
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
My parents have one of the new airraves and my photon connects but all I get is weird alien like sounds sounds like a scrambled code or something it is really weird and annoying if anyone knows of a fix please let me know
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
I have airave airvana and i get silent calls all the time. Had to unplug airave.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ghodzilla5150:
OK Guys here's the issue. I spoke with Airwave support and he had me do a test:

http://voiptest.packet8.net/

Click the Start Test Button. When it's finished the thing you are looking for the most is Jitter Rate( you will have 5 different catagories). If your Jitter Rate is High (mine was 65ms) you WILL NOT be able to maintain a VOIP call thru the Airwave (it has to be no higher than 5ms). The Sprint Rep told me to call my ISP (TWC) and have them Clean and Flush my line, I did, and my Jitter Rate went down to 1.1ms and my Airwave works GREAT. Have your lines Cleaned and Flushed and rerun the test and you WILL see a difference.
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
So I figured out my problem I forgot I had set my voice codac to 4GV and the air rave doesn't support that. switched it back to evrc-b and all is well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
I have this same issue - where 50% of my incoming calls never reach me and go straight to voicemail. Other times, I would not be able to call out and other times it would go without doing anything... same goes for incoming.

Spent hours back and forth with sprint tech, with battery pulls, profile updates, power cycling of airvana and phone and reseting airvana and photon - tried switching to "sprint only" / "any cdma" / "automatic" - nothing particularly gave better results.

After the voip test, everything was in range except for the jitter - mine was between 70-300ms and average in between that which you are right about VOIP not being optimal.

I tried explaining this to comcast (my isp) and they had no idea, saving signal, upstream/downstream is good..

*** How or what do you need to do to have them [the isp] "clean / flush" the line? Is there a better technical term to convey to them?

Is this something they do over the phone from their network side? I have a comcast tech coming in, and from what a sprint tech told me - there's a possibility that the cable lines to my apartment may have not been shielded well creating RF/radio frequency interference, which results in high jitter - so it, according to him is a physical issue - not sure.

I have an old samsung voice only airave - and this works perfect without changing anything...

Would love to get the 3g data back on the airvana and have this work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ptfdmedic:
This is a legit problem. Been dealing with it for about 4 months now. Started out where the everything works great after a power cycle. Then at some point the Nexus S 4G I had would stop working with the Airvana (the new Airave). All my calls in and out were blocked and other times my calls were incorrectly routed.

I was really weird because at times the Airvana would completely kill the radio on the Nexus. I would just have the signal bars with the little x over top. Other times I would roam on Verizon and no one was able to force me back to the Sprint Network.

I actually lost a some business due to my phone not receiving the calls.

However, as soon as I unplugged the Airvan everything went right back to normal.

My wife's Epic worked just fine as did the Hero, Evo and Evo 3D. Thats actually how I got the photon for free. I had just bought the Nexus outright and was not able to return it. My problems were so well documented that a manager called me one day and offered me an Evo 3D as a way of addressing the problem.

After 2 bad Evo 3D's they sent me the Photon. Everything worked well until last weekend. I had to kill the Airvana once again. My calls were getting blocked.

Apparently what has happened is that Sprint pushed an update to the Airvana and some customers will need to have the device reset on Sprints end. I tried resting it on my end and it's a no go. I just have had to much on my plate to call them again and deal with the scripted support.

Honestly, the radio in the Photon is way better then either of the Samsungs and even the Evo 3D. So it hasn't been a huge rush.

Hope this helps. Also thanks for writing this because I thought I was going crazy as Sprint claims to have never seen these problems before.

I even had a Sprint rep tell me he was going to "boost" the signal to my phone so I got better reception in my area.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
It's definitely as I agree an airvana issue - as yourself - as soon as I turn off the airvana... everything works fine... or of out of the airvana network.

What was worse is that the trroubleshooting timing - when calling/testing with tech, it works... best was that they thought everything was great when they called to test incoming, A few minutes to wrap up, I asked if they could dial it once more... straight to voicemail :) I really wish it did get corrected

The 1st gen samsung hasn't given me any problems thus far which makes me wonder what the issue really is... I was given a replacement 2nd gen airvana because we thought the other airvana was going bad or malfunctioned somehow.

The airvana apparently has an "access menu" which I haven't looked at : the ip they gave me : 192.168.17.2 username : admin / password : admin (or blank). They said there weren't many things to change (I can't confirm this) from there ... i,e time zone/date

This ISP clean/flush looks interesting, but I don't know what that entails or how to convey the message to them to do it.

I lost a lot of calls which should have went through - I know that feeling. It's quite a bit of time to reconvey the issues over and over going through the same steps over and over (regardless of previous call log notes) - just hoping, that this time it will work....

Is it maybe a high jitter issue??
[Motorola Photon 4G] ghodzilla5150:
If your Jitter Rate is too high, it will NOT keep a constant VOIP call (that's what we are using with the Airwave, VOIP). I just tell TWC to Clean/FLush my line and they know what to do. You can also tell them to Reset your Modem. This all happens on Their end. The can Reset your Modem over their line.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
same Issue

I had the same issue, i upgraded from the epic to the motorola photon, when i got home all my calls were blocked and i had no air rave coverage.*99 didnt go through. I went through the settings and did a manuel update to the latest motorola software to address the silent call issue. Then i logged into my sprint account online, and reconfigured the settings to my air rave(its the new air rave airvanna) After i restricted my airvanna air rave to only my cell phone number and my wifes, i turned off my phone and turned it on, and all my problems were solved. If anyone needs help finding the settings for your air rave, let me know, it took me some time to find it, i could help you locate it. It appears we all have indifferent issues with this phone. My problems been fixed since the 23rd of august. Still no issues today.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Right thanks - I had them "reset" and send a "refresh" signal to my modem - but that didn't do anything to the jitter unfortunately... still in the ~70ms range jitter. Is that what you mean then by "clean / flush" ?

Regarding the mention of restricting the your phone number on the website, yes this was a bit tricky to get to - I initially did use this, but removed my #.

I think my apartment complex has so many airvanas around because wherever I walk around to the outside, I am at times connected when I know it shouldn't...

Apparently - if anyone else comes to your residence that has a sprint connection, their sprint phones don't work - the old airave samsung was able to add multiple phone numbers in that situation. I forgot how long it took for the sprint network to accept the guests' phone #'s - but how much can we ask for? :)

I am not sure if you could add more "sprint" lines to the account if guests arrived with sprint phones to have it work...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Just got my Airave last night the thing is just disgusting! I love ti and couldn't ask for better. Got my own tower in my house. Still connected down the street too. Frickin sweet. No silent calls here, will respond with more use too.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Tenhi:
I was just wondering if that is possible. Previously I had HTC Desire, and all my contacts that have been linked to facebook profile got HTCData tag which is a link to that persons facebook profile. HTC was using that tag to automatically link that person's contact info with his/her Facebook profile

That tag looks like this: <HTCData><Facebook>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxx<|id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxx</Facebook></HTCData>

How hard would that be? To use it for profile picture fetching, or for profile with contact linking?

Does this require stronger Facebook integration, like on Sense roms? Or there is some other way to use this tag and facebook info to link my contacts again with corresponding facebook profiles :)?

Thanks ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] adrockr:
Maybe someone point me in the right direction? I am having trouble finding a relevant thread (I have searched). I have the newer T-mobile G2x the ships with Gingerbread 2.3.4 installed and I need to root it so I can install a 2.3.4 based ROM that allows for Skype video capabilities. Neither Gingerbreak nor One Click work. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Haven't searched hard enough, there is no oneclick, no gingerbreak, simply go to dev section look for "nvflash cwm recovery" after you have recovery flashed you can install any rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Don't worry dude this phone is actually really easy to hack.

All you need to do is flash the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, and then flash a rom.

Follow the steps in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054492

Flash the latest one 4.0.1.5

That will get you CWM, then all you need to do is flash a rom such as Weapon 2.4 or CM7 nightly and voila! You have root.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
BTW, the G2X GB rom is 2.3.3, not 2.3.4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] adrockr:
Lame.

I was under the impression (wish I could link) that Skype video was working on the G2x with Android 2.3.4. Are you saying that you all have 2.3.4 (or some variant of it) and Skype video does NOT work?

What about gTalk video with the front camera?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
We don't have 2.3.4. The LG update was 2.3.3 for some reason.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adrockr:
That's why I want to root - to flash 2.3.4. If I can't do Skype video I might not bother.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
follow these instructions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

yes you can install a rom with internal memory only choose internal when you flash the recovery. if you look at the picture on the link i gave you youll see it has external(sdcard) internal(phone memory) where it will let you install a rom from.

good luck
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
After you install CWM via the link right above this post, you will be able to flash roms and other goodies.

First flash the latest CM7 nightly... but be sure to wipe /data, /cache and /system first:

1) -wipe data/factory reset

2) -mounts and storage

-format /system

Then flash the nightly:

-Install zip from SD card

-choose zip from sd card

(If you don't have an sd card install the "internal" version of CWM and place the nightly on ur internal SD)

Then flash the latest gapps: (same flashing procedure as above)

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Lastly flash the zip in the link I provided earlier.

Let me know if u need this in any further detail.

[XPERIA X10 General] Frosty666:
1.6? Wow!

I think you should just head straight up to 2.3.3 using flashtool. In the flashtool thread there is some ftf firmware files you can download. Choose the global generic 2.3.3, and use that. If you dont know how to use flashtool there is a sticky in the q&a section which explains it all. Its not really that hard after all.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdisthewordfella:
Okay, here is the deal. I was trying to change around some stuff on my phone, the IMEI number to match the one on my prepaid tracphone. So far, before I changed the IMEI, i had it rooted and everything was slamming. But it would disconnect me after about a half hour. I am changing the IMEI to see if it fixes this, but after all this I had to revert back to a total stock flash of 2.2.1 HTC rom, it updated everything, one of those PBxx.img ones you do during the bootloader.

So now I've rooted it with visionary, and it hardly works, won't permaroot, but I get regular root. So I did another method on a wiki and have permaroot now. Updated SU, clockwork mod, ETC and everything works (well it installs and prompts me to give super user access then doesnt complain.)

HERE IS THE PROBLEM: I CANT CHANGE RECOVERY OR BOOTLOADER TO S-OFF

I have used gfree (multiple versions) to turn s off, and turn off all locks and to change the bootloader the nb0 one. BUT NOTHING gives.

>Clockworkmod from the rooted main screen, when i open the app, it won't install the clockwork mod recovery.

>When booting to recovery, the phone goes to stock recovery with the red triangle and phone. Upon where you have to push VOL UP + PWR button to see any options, and they are just the stock ones, (reboot, apply update:sdcard, etc)

I was wondering if someone had a signed image that they could link to me or send or whatever that has the s-off in a format that I can use with the BOOTLOADER; i.e.: Just put it on SD-CARD, hold "VOL UP+PWR" then it will do the update. U know, like radios are flashed.

If you can help me please, help me. I was so excited with this phone and moving along and now this.... ARG! lol. Thanks guys any and all input is appreciated no matter how irrelevant!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You don't have perm-root.

Gfree can't work without root. Since you don't have perm-root without Gfree, you need temp-root.

While not S-OFF, you can't have perm-root. Period. End of story. Temp-root and execute Gfree.

Execute the rooting guide in Wiki properly, and you'll have S-OFF.

Of course, having no perm-root makes it impossible to flash recovery, or flash anything at all.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I guess I wasn't clear enough in my response above, and wrote "perm-root" where just "root" was in order. Edited.

In any case, when was the last time you've read the Wiki? I suggest you look at it again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdisthewordfella:
I don't know if I am explaining correctly.

I applied the root method using visionary r14 because thats the latest from the site, it temp roots, but does not perma root.

I did a su, and got root, but I have to SU before i get root, it asks for SU permissions and I allow and I have root. (all this is done in a shell). So I know I have root, i can open up the system to read write and even delete some stock .apk and other files that aren't supposed to be deleted. So its all good. I can chmod 777, i know whats up there.

I did all this madness, SU updates to the most current binary, clockwordmod both an older and the newest version open, ask for and allow SU permission, and all that appears to work fine. EVEN with the friggen flash clockworkmod recovery, it says current recovery: clockworkmod x.x.x.x (meaning whatever the version is, tried a bunch).

BUT WHEN I BOOT TO RECOVERY OR BOOTLOADER, S-ON and friggen stock recovery for me. WHAT THE heck. its like its ignoring what I do to flash the bootloader.

Does anyone have a PBxx.IMG they can send, hopefully signed, that I can just use to update? or link to one? also, and update.zip for the stock recovery would work too.

HERE's the thing, its a T-mobile phone, and my TRACPHONE Prepaid sim works on it, but that *MIGHT* just be because TRACFONE = AT&T also T-Mobile=AT&T now also.

But I think the sim is unlocked, I'm waiting on other sim to come in the mail before I can verify for sure.

MAIN thing i need is a signed (or I'll even play with an unsigned) PBXX.img file for either the bootloader or recovery, or an update.zip one. At this point, if you have a lower version of 2.2.1 that has the whole entire shebang, (the radio, bootloader, os, recovery, etc) then I'll appreciate that too.

I just can't find it on here after days of searching and I am needing a push in the right direction. And google's overloaded with the SAME article just in different spam blog formats. Thx guyz
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You CAN'T.

Everything you do when you're temp-rooted, DOESN'T GO TO THE eMMC! It stays in memory (eMMC cache), and the next time you reboot - everything is GONE. All your file deletions, chmods, etc - they're NOT REALLY EXECUTED. Reboot and see for yourself.

The only thing that will make it stay - is running gfree and gaining S-OFF.

The link, as everything else you're looking for, is in Wiki. Look in the Downgrade guide, there's a link for 2.2.1 RUU for MT4G. But it won't help you - you're just being stubborn and unwilling to read. YOU DIDN'T EXECUTE PERMAROOT PROPERLY, AND UNTIL YOU DO - YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FLASH A DAMN THING.

The Wiki links to a Gfree method guide. Read it and execute it STEP BY STEP.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdisthewordfella:
Okay, i did it

Here is what I did. I went in manually and copied the .nb0 to the file several times in a row.

Visionary does not work, the only way I can root this thing, without some type of temproot visionary app that messes up, is this way:

http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/HTC_myTouch_4G

Also, I am hoping I am correct, but this is how its laid out in the /dev block...

mmcblk0p18: HBOOT DATA (bits) And....

mmcblk0p21: RECOVERY DATA (bits) data or bits, whatever you want to call it. (its not a file)

Okay. So with that being said;

/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 = hboot 'file' and this is what i did.

Using 'dd' which is a unix command that just does low level convert and copy, will take the input file if=hboot_hacked_file.nb0 and then put it to the output device converting it and whatnot, the output file of=/dev/block/device

so it looks like this in example:

# dd if=/directory/filename.xxx of=/dev/block/output_device_or_file
