[Motorola Photon 4G] brownrob73:
Photon 4G HANDS DOWN!

First off, let me preface this by stating I am a die-hard EVO 4G backer! That phone has been the best phone (so far) I have ever owned! Hands down! Now, I am a business owner and require a sturdy, reliable, functional phone to conduct my daily business.

I have owned a Samsung Nexus S, Photon 4G, and an EVO 3D. They all have their issues. But in terms of signal strength, call quality, loudness, speed, battery life, and overall functionality, FOR ME... hands down...the Photon 4G performed the best.

The EVO 3D is fast and pretty but for what I need it to do, it sucks! I have had random reboots, weak signal strength, call drops, the speaker quality sounds like crap compared to the photon, BATTERY LIFE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!, and to top it off, I use square to collect payments from clients and when I connect it, the 3D thinks it is headphones and starts to play my music player! Let's just say some clients aren't really big Tupac fans as I am! Then when i am finished with the transactions and unplug the square device, I can ONLY talk to people using the speaker phone UNTIL I reboot the phone.

I love HTC from a development standpoint, but rooting and dealing with the 3D doesn't take on the same amount of ease as the OG 4G did. I love trying out different ROMs but from a business standpoint, I need functionality and dependability. I know some of you may say 'maybe you just had a lemon'. Let's just say that after the third 3D from different lots, I would say 'nyet'!

The Photon is not without its issues but for my requirements, Motorola Photon is my choice. Launcher pro took care of the motoblur issue. I will say this...the moment there is a AOSP ROM out for the photon, I will be getting it!

I loved the Samsung Nexus S for its smoothness. Didn't have major issues although the signal strength was a little weak and the loudness (ear piece, ringers, and speaker) sucked. Looking forward the the Epic 4G touch (SGS2)!

Regards,

Robert

This is the Photon forums so yea.....get a Photon. :D

As for the 4g, source code has only been out for a day. It is being worked on and for sure will soon have custom kernels and unlocked bootloader w/everything working. Peeps just need to have a little patience. This phone got root almost right out of the gate not to mention we already have custom recovery. From my perspective, developement of the Photon is moving ahead rapidly. Phone has only been out for little over a month.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
Amen to that statement.

Yeah, they do have a beautiful screen but considering the number of times that Samsung's dropped the ball in supporting their products after its released with timely fixes and maintenance releases, endless delays for upgrading to the latest Android platform, not to mention being notorious for having a lousy GPS function, I'm a bit surprised that anyone is considering one of their phones as a viable option.

As G W Bush would say, "There's an old saying in Tennessee that we also have in Texas. Fool me once, shame on you.... Fool me, can't get fooled again." ;)

No thanks Samsung. Your beautiful screens are great on televisions. But I don't care to have one on my phone if you can't support them after making them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Turn the phone over. The kickstand supports the phone in either orientation.

Used to be, logging into utorrent remote would wake my mac from sleep no matter what. Now it doesn't wake anymore. I have it set in power management to wake on lan, but it doesn't seem to help. Settings in utorrent (Both desktop and remote) are pretty scarce, so any ideas on how to fix that? I just can't figure out what's changed

Today I got home and found out my phone wont charge anymore I don't know how but I guess something inside the USB port died Idk.. but I love this phone I'm writing this with my last bit of battery I finally got it how I wanted it I just got the sense like miui rom ugh :'(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 10507:
My condolences:( But you could just replace the USB port. You can find one very cheap on ebay.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iainbp:
This has happened to me . The usb in the phone has come loose and won't charge.

I thought of fixing it myself but didn't want to **** my phone up. So I found some mains battery chargers from eBay and they are working really well . Charges my batterys well and had no problems in a month now .

The chargers were only 4 pound . So not to bad and you can get a battery with them too but pay a little more .
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] relldroid:
Thank u, im using this horrible sidekick 4g now, if its possible I will get it replaced by a profession I love that phone leos are perfect

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
no i themed the battery png's he had in the rom. when you flash my theme it will look like in my screenshots.

if your referring to my shot of the calculator that has the blue circle battery that is from an older theme, the calculator is the same though. the rest of the photos reflect the current theme i made.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
The first image you posted has a blue circle battery meter and then the rest have a silver stock looking battery meter. Which one comes with this theme? The theme looks great though!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
read my post above yours, its the silver battery. although if i get enough requests for it i could make one with the blue circle %.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tu3218:
Oh wow, completely missed that lol Does 3G also have the glow effect?

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] egeorgia:
This theme is awesome. Just the right touches of silver/Grey. No funky colors. Love the lockscreen ring to. Just a classic theme. Well done. Thank you.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] GreginNH:
I DL Blue % theme and my battery now shows a % within a circle battery but its not blue, its gray?

I tried yesterday and had some funky stuff so I DL again and then flashed wiped cache/davlik. Is it blue to a certain percentage and then turn gray or should i be seeing a blue circle?

Not a big deal, just wsondering if something else is going on here with my phone.

Thanks!
[Android Development on Bada] rashmi07:
hello DEV.

can install BADA on Galaxy ACE

please help.....:D:D:D:D
[Android Development on Bada] wilmervanheerde:
wrong section!!
[Android Development on Bada] sarmoodi:
wave owners want android and galaxy owners want bada on their devices ,, let's solve it simply , let's just exchage phones :D
[Android Development on Bada] ispanecaaaa:
i change my wave (s8500) for galaxy s or s II! any ?
[Android Development on Bada] NHS2008:
I would trade it for SII but for S? No way!!
[Android Development on Bada] 73nokian:
i change my s8500 for galaxy s.
[Android Development on Bada] Rebellos:
For ACE?

No. It has got Qualcomm MSM7227 as AP, what almost excludes ability to port Bada in there, at least for me.

It's pretty "easy" (by this I mean less than 100 hours of work) achievable for SGS series.
[Android Development on Bada] -creez-:
Wave M?

I think the hardware of the Ace is verry similar to the new Wave M.. Just try it to port when the Wave M has been released.. The Wave M will be the middle class of the Waves, like the Ace of the Galaxy-series. (like the differences between s8500 and i9000)
[Android Development on Bada] Sly90:
Thats why I traded my old Wave for a LG Optimus Black. Maybe it has a bit powerless hardware, but it runs a full stable Android and it works like a charm.

So goodbye Bada, I moved into Android.
[Android Development on Bada] larioteo:
i like this

people get what they want, this is future, doesnt matter if with bada or not, by sly i remember your posts ;)
[Android Development on Bada] 73nokian:
well done :D
[Android Development on Bada] Sly90:
I moved because I'll move all my entire devices to Android if its possible. I have an Eken M009s tablet (which I use in the university for downloading ebooks and PDFs) and a pair of Android phones, a ZTE Blade (I recommend it if you want to get a cheap and good Aphone, with its Adreno200 and 512 RAM) and my Optimus Black.

After having an Iphone 2G, a few Symbian's Nokia and a LG KS20 with Windows Mobile, I can't doubt it: Android is the best phone for a technogeek like me :D
[Android Development on Bada] larioteo:
Android isnt a phone its an OS ;) very important for people that dont know that and read this.

We like here to use the right declarations of such things, this would either confuse users that dont know it right.
[Android Development on Bada] bong4316:
Wont you need the BADA source code?

The reason why android can be ported (if not completely because there are chip driver issues like modems not working etc) is because its open source...

To port BADA to any device wont you need the source code to work with?

Samsung is holding bada's source code and i dont think they will open source it at all even if it uses some opensource code.

They did pay for the right to use opensource code into a proprietory system.
[Android Development on Bada] gilkzxc:
WOW like i said befor bada os it's an awsome os and bada 2.0 even more awsome then all oses togeter only thing that it is missing is devlepers and apps and APPS

and then the all world will be using bada os and not symbain (yack!!!!!!!!!) or Ios(realy stupid OS and to complacte togeter that it's making it usless) or Android (i like android to but there isn't something special in it)

or windows phone 7 (what the F#$# is that why we need it )

so i thanking you for add support to show samsung that it had to foucse on bada os from the start and not go to other oses

bada os ruls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in the future will be bada os for tablets and PC because it actuly have a linux core
[Android Development on Bada] zsman24:
I think he is the only one man in the world, who wants badaOS on his ace :) So don't make big conclusions.
[Android Development on Bada] larioteo:
so now it is over, this is more than only offtopic, leave the guy when he is unhappy with android you all should imagine that he can decide which os he will, and why you all always so putting him down.

i cannot get you all, its near a kindergarden what you make here, ok? we shuld now let this thing behind, otherwize i will make here directly an anti android campagne to show the users what is bad about to use it.

when all are fair i will also stay fair, when this thing goes on wrong direction than we all only can be opponents.

i am trying now to finish this childisch diskussion.

--------------------

in the bada section one person discuess about posting ... between dev topics, and you all here are putting unaccassary thinking which nobody is here interested and so disturbing the devs.
[Android Development on Bada] gurpreet122:
ya u are right why would people want bada .!!:)

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

ya bada isnt open source so we cant port it ...also no one would be ready to work for this port as they are already busy in porting android on wave .
[Android Development on Bada] webzy:
larioteo if ur gunna post in threads that are wrote in english ffs at least make sure it makes sense or just dont bother wtf is the point wasting peoples time writing stuff that makes no sense at all just like anyone who would rather have a ****ty out of date boring BADA fone than a bad boi all singing all dancing wow factor open sorce developers dream machiene android one get a brain cell n use it to learn english or at least to make sure u no wot ur talkin about b4 u post it coz u obviously havnt got a clue if u prefer BADA to android !!!!!!!
[Android Development on Bada] Tigrouzen:
The problem its not porting but the complexe off boot and 2 level Os or 3 maybe make's bada verry verry complexe to dissasemble and also to porting we realy need open source then works maybe 6month for realy works, verry verry complexe !!!

Bada like's Iphone Os !!!

I've heard word of "the best" battery life. Can anyone attest to this? I can't believe that from Samsung's track record....
[Captivate Android Development] miketucky350:
Great work!! Flashing after post. Far as battery life. Every phone and phone user is different. So life varies. Me I crank brightness up use wifi, and GPS always. Like tonight buying a car 260 mile round trip used GPS to get there started with 100% and was. On 26% whenever I got there. Just appreciate that you have a device that makes your life easy and fun! I always turn wifi off and do my best to conserve battery. The captivate is truely a bad ass device. My brother was over last night. And we were playing with phones.

Here is a heimdall package for stock kh3 with the cwm kernel3 built in. Link It will wipe your phone! Make A backup as necessary. Hopefully it can help people go from stock to a custom rom in fewer steps. Let me know if you find an issue with it. It only contains factory.rfs, dbdata.rfs, chache.rfs, and the cwm_kernel zImage.

Will test the backup/restore today. hopefully it won't make it screw up. What exactly is the problem? Restoring or backing up?

[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Well, I don't suggest using nandroid at all. Use titanium backup. The restore part of nandroid will not work.
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:


I was going to check if the CWM3 version nandroid worked, heimdall doesnt really comply with my computer though. Have you tested the CWM3 version to see if the nandroid restore works?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
I pulled 3.0.0.5 from eXistZ's git, and put it in for a test, and it also failed. I'm not sure if we are just looking at an overall difference in gingerbread (or at least samsung's gingerbread) that might take a better coder to look at.

Everything that just worked on froyo seems to be broken on gb, or needs something different done.

Then I need to learn how to mod the source lol

[Captivate Android Development] gredberd:
Hey guys, what other methods are there to make full backups like nandroid if nandroid isn't available?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Funny you should mention that, was just talking with johnsondr80 about it.

There is titanium backup that you can backup your apps and settings.

Then, there is dd. you can make a backup of partitions with dd, then restore them with odin or heimdall.

something like this should work (I suggest from command line on computer):

adb shell
su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096"
su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/dbdata.rfs bs=4096"
su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/data.rfs bs=4096"
su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096"

you should be able to tar those files up and flash with the pda slot in odin, or in their appropriate spots in heimdall. Some of the steps can take some time, and before each command with su you need to have the screen on so su can pop up and you can hit allow.
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
And actually if anyone would like to learn more about dd, there is a great tutorial here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/

It can apply to anything with linux, or even anything with dd available.

And I got my commands from my previous post from this thread http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/

it is from the galaxy tab, but the theory is the same. I didn't check all of the partitions he uses to make sure they match, so use the others with caution, and do more homework.

I may try to get a script set up that will automate the process, just might take a little trial and error.
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Here is a way to only have to click "allow" one time for su, and run a backup command.

Open cmd or terminal, type "adb shell" then this:

su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/Boog/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096 && dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/Boog/dbdata.rfs bs=4096 && dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/Boog/data.rfs bs=4096 && dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/Boog/cache.rfs bs=4096"

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
^IKR? but what ever I hopping GB comes out soon after US SGSII release.
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
Actually, I don't have a clue at what is wrong with backups right now. And got frustrated enough at it that I got distracted with the above method.

Everything that seemed to be an obstacle to getting nandroid working turned out to just be an obstacle in front of another issue.

Thanks, but so far, I feel what I have done seems simple compared to what the guys with source can do. It will be another challenge to play with source and make a decent kernel.
