[Motorola Photon 4G] maderf:
Hello,

I just got my wife the Photon 4g for her upgrade (she came from a blackberry curve). Since purchasing just under a week ago we've noticed problems. Sometimes the touch screen will not respond to touch inputs, or it is very laggy to respond. A quick screen on/off using the power button (not a phone restart) toggle usually fixes the problem, and then its quick and snappy like you'd expect from a 1GHz dual core. It is also pretty intermittent though very frustrating for her. I've been searching around but haven't found anybody having a similar issue.

What I want to know is if this is a normal glitch and if there is a fix for it. Or, if it is something with the phone and we should replace it. I personally am getting the Epic 4G Touch on Monday, and based on its reviews, I'm tempted to just get her the same phone too.

The photon has been proving to have some other odd things going on as well. We've also been having some pretty bad battery life. I did a system restore and put on juice defender which seemed to help a lot. But, nothing has fixed the screen glitch/stutter problem.

Oh, one other thing I've noticed with the Photon, using Pandora the audio seems to stutter as well when moving between windows. I've done some searching on this and found it to be a pretty common problem. I don't understand how this phone has had so many great reviews with such obvious flaws. Seems very unpolished IMHO. My wife loved her BB, it was simple, stable, and had awesome battery life. Granted, not as fun, and no cool apps like Android. I just want her Android experience to be as good as possible.

Any input/advice?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Kinda sounds like bad hardware. After completing the startup process my Photon is never laggy, at least nothing that can't be attributed to specific apps. My battery life is easily a full day, even with regular use.

Pandora just sucks performance-wise; try another media streamer and see what happens.

I'd say hard reset, do all the OTA updates and see what that does. If not improved maybe swap it out. It should be better than that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Try changing you vm heap higher to get rid if the stutter
[Motorola Photon 4G] maderf:
Well we are going to go to the store tomorrow and see about a E4GT SGII for her tomorrow, or at the very least trade in for another Photon.

On a side note, does anybody know why they put the usb on the side which renders the kickstand unusable? Seems kinda dumb to me, if you want to use the kickstand and charge at the same time you are SOL. (sorry for the rant LOL) a bit of an oversight I think.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

VM heap? How do I go about that? Are you referring to the touch screen stutter or audio stutter?
[Motorola Photon 4G] 21productionz:
The kickstand is meant to be used both ways.

Hey gang does anyone have the stock transition animations for the photon? I thought they were in the animation mod app but there not.

Awaiting Assimilation
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Any idea where they are or what they may be called?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kratos313:
I'm trying to find out where they might be on the EVO 3D hopefully they will be in the the same place

Awaiting Assimilation
[Motorola Photon 4G] smoothone:
They are in the framework-res.apk. Change it to a zip file and then look in res, anim. The animations are in anim folder.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kratos313:
Ok thanks ill look into it

Does anyone have just the framework they can post so I don't have to grab a full rom?

Awaiting Assimilation
[Motorola Photon 4G] smoothone:
Here is my framework-res.apk with some custom animations that I added in. Anyone is welcome to push this to their /system/framework or copy it there with root explorer (don't forget to change permissions) and have a few extra custom animations (zoom menus, slide window transitions). My attached framework is from Alien rom so beware some of your status bar icons will change if you use this with non alien theme.
[Motorola Photon 4G] smoothone:
Kratos this is the stock photon framework-res. This one does not have the custom animations I added. You can grab the stock photon transitions from this anim folder!

Thought I would dig up an old thread but I was able to fix my problems by editing my build prop. I modified several lines and I'm not sure which one made order/Chaos work for Hypersensation CM7 but here is my post with a copy of my build prop and list of items I changed.

I see all these custom ROM's out there for the Epic 4g. What software do these people use to create there own ROM's. The best I can do with some one else ROM is the ability to change the boot animation and shutdown animation using 7zip. I'm kind of a noob to this stuff, but I can figure just about anything out.

I have seen ROM Kitchen but i would like something i can use without web access. So if there is any software out there that i can use please let me know. Also a URL link would be nice to. Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help.

[Wildfire General] WhiteSites:
I am looking to get a backup phone, and I feel the wildfire might be a good choice as a really cheap backup phone. but I have question. All my other phones had aluminum frames / battery covers ( HD2, Sensation ) What is the back cover of the Wildfire made of? Is it metal or just plastic?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Just plastic. No metal frames anywhere on the outer body. Its most apparent when you try removing the back cover. There will be a terrible plastic-grating-plastic noise.

It should hold up pretty well though, provided its not subject to too much abuse.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThomasAstor:
Hi

I tried ADW Red theme, did not like it therefore removed it. In fact it refuses to go.

So now, I cannot change theme on my ADW EX, not even go back to the original one. I get a reddish background from the Red theme.

The most annoying is the fact that it has removed all my widgets, and is disturbing others applications.

I uninstalled it via Market, but it is still there on the screen and icons.

What can I do to rectify this? I am really peeved.

Thanks

T.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Did you go into the ADW. Settings to change your icons, etc? Next I would suggest that you should delete data and cache from the app. (but you said you uninstalled it). Last I would recommend that you do a factory reset from within your settings menu, which will wipe all of your data and settings but will also let you start over. I'm assuming that you're unrooted stock,

thanks, if you can set your phone to USB debugging, Settings->Applications->Development

Then do this on adb:

adb pull /proc/config.gz

You can download adb here:

http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/sdk/adb.zip

and you need samsung kies installed:

then post the config.gz here, thanks, my phone is bricked until then!

I can't locate that file anywhere on the device. Would it be called anything else on this device for whatever reason?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Right, see if you can find a file with defconfig in it.

or maybe something like c1_rev05_na_spr_defconfig

Just a hunch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
There's a /system/bin/ifconfig

Edit: nm thats network configuration

Screenshot of list of files with "config" in the name
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
config.gz is an optional addition to the kernel build looks like samsung left it out.

Check arch/arm/configs in the kernel source theres probably a defconfig in there

Sent from my sprint galaxy s2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Well I have the defconfig, just not booting when I compile the kernel for some reason, thinking the one off a phone might be different from sources (and maybe make it work?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timdorr:
Well the model number on mine is definitely SPH-D710, so unless someone at Samsung uploaded the wrong files, that should be it.

What's the high-level overview of what you're doing to build it? Following the instructions in the source download to build the kernel and then uploading it with odin to the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Yes, exactly, I've done exactly as samsung source files said, not working, I think something wrong with the released files otherwise i would have a working kernel by now, might be the config file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaybizza:
He's BAAACK!!!

Nice ...Good to see your back at it!!! I take it u got ur NJew Phone already!!!??:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
there is no config file, as i said you need the initramfs, samsung doesnt use boot.img kernels
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
The config to build the kernel would be in the root directory of the kernel source, but it's a hidden file. There might also be something in /arch/arm/configs. But no, as others have said, it's not on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Initramfs is enabled on the kernel I compiled, but ends up in bootloop, i m sure every dev is going through this right now, frustrating that samsung released open source code that doesn't work although I will keep trying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
initramfs needs to be enabled yes, but for samsung kernels you need to have the ramdisk local and edit your defconfig to point to it. hence why none of the kernels will boot and the size is so much smaller then it should be
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
How do I do that? Show me a some code plz!

Anyone has same issue ? Have just updated to 3.2 (actually 3.1 is same - Use Stock Rom), i use Nemo(Acer Music Player) and Music in system also, try to play a song and wait for shuffle after turnoff the screen, it doesn't work. After turn on the screen, song will next.

Think it should be a bug since 3.1 update version. Please help me out >
[Acer Iconia A500] x-SoulEater:
Sad Face

I have the same/similar problem, after updating to HC 3.2 OTA any music app I've tried has stopped after I've either pressed the lock screen button or it has timed out. The only difference between music apps is the amount of time it takes before it stops.

Stock Android music usually lasts until the end of the first or second song.

Hive Player lasts about 5 seconds.

Nemo (Acer) works about the same as the stock Android one.

It may have done this while on HC 3.1, I don't recall.

All other forum posts seem to relate to automatic task killers terminating the process to save power.

Also tried factory reseting, still no good

Suggestions anyone?

[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Step 1. Go to the developer section

Step 2. Read the stickies

Step 3. Select a ROM that suits your needs

Step 4. Follow the instructions found in the stickies for rooting, installing CWM, and flashing a custom ROM carefully

Finally. Do not install the 3.2 FOTA update if you want to root. You will not be able to root or install a custom ROM if you do.

i replaced my GT 10.1 (wifi version) with a new one, since the old one had that rainbow screen problem.

anyway, i'm trying to root the new one, following this guide

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eAQzxwEVjY

and i _CANNOT_ boot into recovery. period. the android symbol DOES NOT pop up at all.

i installed the samsung usb drivers supplied with the video, and tried booting into recovery with usb debugging enabled AND disabled, same problem both times!

even tried rebooting with the usb cable disconnected, as if that would help

in every case, i hold volume down and the power button, the tablet begins booting, is displays the "galaxy tab 10.1" boot image. Normally the android recovery logo would flash by for a split second after doing this, but nope, goes straight to black

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Half Decaf:
Yes, that happened to me. Continue to hold down the vol - and the power button, even after the recovery screen flashes by. The GTab will reboot again and the recovery screen will flash by again, but this time after you release the buttons, the recovery mode will display. At least, it did on my GTab. Give it a try...

Hold VOL- and Power until the Tab powers up, but let go of Power just after you see the logo.
