[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Ok...before I am trying to complaint with the business bureau..I would like to get some feedback or opinion from everyone:

1. Currently I am not with Sprint anymore due to the fact that I am getting tired of slow data on their network and has been filing complaint for the past 6 mos.

2. I did pay the ETF to fulfilled the contract agreement.

3. The question is since Motorola Photon is capable of both GSM quad band and CDMA. Should Sprint unlock the radio band for US user to be able to use on the US GSM network?

This is really struck me hard with their level of technically expertise:

4. I called Sprint tech support today and here is the answers:

a) Your phone can't use the SIM card (this is the answered from the Tech Support Supervisor)... After I told him to look at the only Sprint World phone release last year.. he finally accepting the fact that it is capable on GSM.

b) Then he went on explained to me that even the phone is support GSM it can't support the frequency of T-Mobile or ATT network. What the hell?

c) So just for fun, I asked him what is the frequencies for T-mobile and ATT?

he did gave me the right answers on both network so I asked him are those matching the specification of the Photon. he re-plied "YES".

d) I went on and asking him that if I fulfilled my contract with Sprint. Should I (the owner of the phone) have the right to use any carriers if my phone support it? He said "YES".

e) He then tell me that it's still does not accept SIM card with T-Mobile and ATT because the phone does not support it. I ask him why? he said because the SIM card is different (What??????????), Even after I explained to him that I have been travel to Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand I have no trouble using their SIM card.

Man .. at that point after holding on for almost 1 hour, I know the conversation getting no where. I felt like I am talking to and "idi****t".

So now, just for the fun of it I am gonna see if I get them to unlock the Radio Band for US GSM through the "Law" in US.

Any opinions would appreciated.

Thanks....It was frustrated with Sprint tech support during the call, but it's something that make me laugh real hard afterward.
[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:
you would be a hero if you were able to get it unlocked for carriers within the US. That being said, I suspect your real issue (and litigant) would be Motorola who sells the photon GSM locked for the US.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
you bought a world phone, im sure there is some tiny print somewhere at some point that says its locked for some reason
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
It could be...but I found there are nothing in the 2 years agreement that I signed up for mentioned anything about it.

Secondly, It's not that I cancelled the contract and failed to pay their ETF.

I did paid my ETF as agreed in the contract.

This does mean I owned that particular phone.

T-Mobile or ATT always unlocked you phone after contract is over (for ATT is if you are with them for 6 mos.. call in and they will provide the unlock code).
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Yes, I can see that this is going to motorola ... but they gonna passing the buckets around.

I will attempt to contact Motorola later to see what their answer is gonna be.
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
I say if the companies won't provide it for us directly, then we should make complaints to the BBB as mentioned above along with the FCC.

- Promoting competition, innovation, and investment in broadband services and facilities;

Does allowing Sprint to lock the GSM on a phone being sold in the US from not working with US GSM Carriers truly accomplish this?

- Supporting the nation’s economy by ensuring an appropriate competitive framework for the unfolding of the communications revolution;

I don't believe that allowing our purchased handset to not be usable on other carriers while its' technically possible for it to do so supports this either. It's actually an anti-competitive framework that encourages lock-in and tries to block consumers from having choice at the technical level.

It'd be understandable if the Photon was a CDMA only phone, but it's capable of GSM at frequencies that other carriers can use. Sprint/Motorola chose to stop us from being able to switch carriers due to price deterrence by having to purchase a new telephone.

- Encouraging the highest and best use of spectrum domestically and internationally;

My phone can't use any spectrum deigned for GSM use in the US. Encourage Sprint/Motorola to fix this please.

- Revising media regulations so that new technologies flourish alongside diversity and localism;

Does that mean that you no longer care for the life old technologies that you help enable to flourish?

- Providing leadership in strengthening the defense of the nation’s communications infrastructure.

I don't think that me selling my Photon to a shady character to cover the cost of a new purchase contributes towards that security that hope to foster. In Octavia Butler's "Parable" series, it's common for people to use disposable phones as a means to not be tracked easily and to quickly stay secure personally. Why encourage me to offer someone a high-end disposable phone with all types of awesome abilities when I can keep this phone or be encouraged to give it to a trusted friend once I'm done using it?

F-C-C please set us free!

Photon: Let me be me on ATT!

(Honestly, I would jump to T-Mobile instead of them, I can't do so because my phone has been interfered with.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
You should have asked to speak to a manager while you had the rep on the phone. Btw was the rep you spoke with American or foreign to america in accent? No offence to foreign call centers but they are way to close to their sprint handbook. I have dealt with sprint several times and every time I called except twice I got an American who was extremely helpful and have even done things for me without question. The two times I got a foreign call center, I was placed on hold several times, spoke to several different people about my issue and then finally after nearly a 30 minute call they finally told me if I could pay ahead on a zero balance for future billing. Called back a few days later just to verify my answer and got an American first try and without hesitation new the answer and even said I could set up autopay to exceed the next months bill and whatever remaining balance I had would count as a credit towards the month after that. As with any device or technical question I have american call centers have always given a more straight forward answer without all the bull****.

I used to work for an ATT call center and we had to go to 3 months of training before we could start taking calls and then another 3 months of assisted training once on the phone. We had to learn every device they sold and had to know the entire book or they would not accept us on the floor. It payed very well for a call center so I understand why they would spend so much time making sure we knew what the hell we were talking about. Sometimes you have slackers that someone get through training but I can verify that foreign call centers only have to go through ONE day of training before taking calls and only have ONE superviser per 40+ reps as to American call centers have around 10 supervisors to every 40 reps plus supers have to going to more intense training to better assist customers. They can even provide us with an ATT or T-Mobile unlock code even if the phone is not active.

[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Previous call did get to a supervisor and manager with Sprint. No help at all. Second call was 3 ways call with Motorola, Sprint and me. And I am kinda surprised at the second call where the Sprint CSR did not even call a Manager or Supervisor... and she has the nerve tell me go ahead with the complaint to BBB and FCC. Wow, I guessed she did not care. So the Motorola Rep decided to say goodbye to the Sprint CSR so he can get on with my issue. I think he is also frustrated at the Sprint CSR too. Let wait and see how this play out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Ive complained to the FCC and BBB twice in the past year about Sprint and both times Sprint's reply has pretty much been "f**k you".
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Sprint in general doesn't care about FCC or BBB complaints.

CSRs definitely do not - since those complaints are not tied back to the CSR and never impact their metrics.

Also, I've never had a CSR volunteer to get a supervisor involved - I've always had to ask. And whenever I hear a canned phrase for the second time, I do ask to speak with a supervisor.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
I dont think Sprint cares about much except whether or not your bill is late.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Quite true.
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
I thought the photon was locked in the radio software to ignore the gsm signals from att and t mobile in the usa. The Sim unlock wouldn't really do anything because the software on the phone would still ignore the Sim card because it isn't setup to use the Sim card in the usa. I think you are kinda **** out of luck. There are numerous posts about this issue already and from what i understand it will not work here in the usa with gsm
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
I know it doesn't work with GSM band here in the US. My argument is that I am off contract and fully paid for the phone, therefore I should get those GSM US band unlock. It's not a sprint phone... It's my phone and I paid for it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
I agree with you but the gsm is not locked to sprint..its blocked in rom from the us gsm network...this requires an update to the the radio rom firmware....real world it can be done...but sprint and motorolla will fight it every step of the way...make bet the moto rep that backed you will get an ass chewing from moto managment if they here about it...

It this case they look at a firmware update to turn on hardware parts of the phone as a hardware upgrade..

But again real work kdd japans photon is the same hardware as a sprint photon...replace the sprint firmware with kdd firmware (really just the radio firmware)..and your phone would work with us gsm..may not work with sprint but would work us gsm..

But for that you need to know how to upgrade the rom and have the right rom and sprint and moto are not going to tell you
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Have you heard back from Motorola yet?

Sent from my Photon Q using ultramegaextremeXDA
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Motorola give me the feedback, but it's not good. Generally, I think he got chewed by his higher up. He said he understood that I am gone through, and the only way to get unlock is to have Sprint approval. He explained to me that the lock is in the lower level programming and it is needed to get approved by Motorola. He said really sorry that he could not help more. He have asked me to pursue whatever course it takes to get Sprint authorized.

I felt that this is the first time he step on something like this. Poor guy, he doesn't sound enthusiastic as he did when he first spoke with me.

In any case, I will file the complaint through BBB and see how Sprint response. Heck I don't even need the phone now, and about to list and sell on Ebay.

I just got my Galaxy Note (huge phone) with AT&T and I like it. I think in the past of couple of years , Samsung finally improve their product.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Do you like it over the Photon?
[Motorola Photon 4G] neudof:
I am looking for a cheap one for my wife. What do you want for it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Well, i like it because of the bigger screen and better AT&T network where i live.

In term of performance, Photon is still a good phone in term of hardware design. But did not serve me well with Sprint Network.

I have travel oversea 3 times this year with Photon and it performs well.

If I know before hand last year that Sprint planning to switch from Wimax to LTE. I would have not getting the Photon. Because of the LTE switching they decide not to expand Wimax in my area. And then the d*amn Iphone that they sell suck all the bandwidth out of 3g. That's when I switched to AT&T where I could get discount of 23% on my plan / mo. Who cares about unlimited data from Sprint? It's so damn slow that I can not even get above 2GB of usage where I live.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Check for PM Box. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
Hmm, this really sucks. Even if you were to somehow get a lot of public attention nothing may happen. I'd like to think telling the Consumerist that Sprint blocks an interoperable phone from working, even after paying for it in full would get a good rise. We need to get that bounty official to try to attract someone that can get us a fix for this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Gotta try to complaint ... that's what government agencies are there for. I paid my tax for those guys. Now it's time to see if they are helpful or not :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kurtbird:
This really ticks me off. I may file BBB complaints as well. In the past I was a T-mobile customer and the support reps were always happy to provide me with unlock codes.

Sprint will not provide an unlock code or even worse there is no unlock code. I purchased this phone from Sprint because of the sim card and planned to unlock it and give it to my wife so she could use it with her pre-paid sim cards.

I will never purchase another Sprint phone ever again and I'll be switching back to T-mobile for sure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbang3r:
I'm guessing that there IS NO unlock code for this that they could give out that would work ONLY on your specific phone. It's probably enforced by the radio modem itself, and has no way of being selectively unlocked for individual users. The net result is that they'll never give it to you, because if they did, anybody else who got a hold of the firmware they gave you could use it to unlock their own phone. The best they could hope for would be to somehow watermark the file with something that uniquely tied it back to you, so they could try suing you if they ever found it out in the wild.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
Well there a bigger issue then Sprint and Moto i forgot to add in my previous post...The FCC!...for the US Photon to work in the US on GSM..it has to be certified ...if not the FCC requires Moto to block it on the phone....your not going to get GSM unblocked for the US without it being FCC approved...
[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:
i'm just hoping the technique that was used for the droid bionic will be useful for the photon.

It gives us hope.
[Motorola Photon 4G] roadster92:
Corrected!! It has to be a low level programming. That's what the Motorola Rep told me (more likely = radio). Completely understand their position, they can't do it for a single user and have radio leak into the world. Like I said .. for the heck of it.. i filed the complaint to BBB about Sprint.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
The thing is the radio IS the already out there...the non US model Photon should have a gsm radio rom that is not block to the US GSM carriers ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
You beat me to it! :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfie359:
I need to get some more range out of my epic for when I'm on the road. I travel all over the US and Canada and there are a lot of dead spots and low signal areas with Sprint and just hoping to fill in some of those areas.

Anyone know of a good antenna to use? I would rather it be an active antenna instead of a passive if there is a port on the Epic 4g, but I'm not sure.

I really want to update to the official ICS from kies but I can't figure out how. I don't want to brick it like so many others have as this is my only phone and since I'm in the US I don't have a warranty (I bought it off Amazon a month ago). How can I update it?:confused:

Fourth Bar Theming

So maybe you actually like Sense but still want it to look awesome like Aosp Ics. Well I now present, Fourth Bar Theming for Sense 3.6. This is the same theme that is seen in the Fourth Bar Nexus rom in the dev section. It is not finished yet and when using with Sense 3.6 there will be some oddities (Odd off blue colors and some green here and there). These may eventually get corrected but as I'm developing this Theme for a Senseless Rom I won't be paying incredible attention to the way that this looks with Sense.

Downloads

Fourth Bar Theming Beta 1.1​

Before I let people go crazy downloading and installing I need 1 person to test and make sure it flashes successfully. First person in the thread that asks will get to test it. I need feedback on whether it works asap so I can put up the download link.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] h1a8:
I'm looking for a VERY STABLE rom compatible with streamline kernel (I want great battery life).

It must have stock icons or close to stock in looks. Data performance isn't a must as long as it's not worst than stock. So in order of preference :

1. Stable (no voice echo or other issues) with streamline kernel.

2. stock like icons or isc icons or something close (don't like slikmod 3.6 icons).

I tried beastmod 5 and like it. But I heard it leaks ram (don't know what that means or how to check it).

I tried slikmod 3.4 but battery life isn't great.

I tried slicmod 3.6 but I hate the icons and the theme.

I tried DW 2.5.1 but I got voice echo when calling another S2. I can always try again though.

I want to try DW 2.7 but read about the problems it has. Will streamline kernel fix those problems?

I tried bluray Tuesday but didn't really like the theme.

I'm on slikmod 3.4 now and like it except the battery life. But thinking of

going back to beastmod because of the better battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] theking_13:
You can always add the Beats mod, which isn't that good anyways. Voodoo sound is by far better.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
I could have sworn voodoo sound didn't work on our phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] techfanatic9:
Try out Megamix. It's close to stock, removes bloatware, fast, great battery life, and it's ICS!!

The only downside to this rom that it doesn't have the sound stuff that you wanted.

Check it out if your interested!

Hoped I helped you out! Enjoy!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
If you want a gingerbread ROM, then I suggest either MR x's stock CIQ free ROM ( excellent battery life ), or Juggernaut 5.0.. both have been outstanding for me..

if you like ICS then I suggest darkside.. there are probably other good ones but it works for me so I stuck with it ( plus it has terrific AOSP themes and mods )
