[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gTen:
Ok let start with the deal,

rewardzonemobile.com

it is owned by best buy and has the photon 4g for 100$ to upgrade. Then they have a promotion for 100$ worth of rewardzone points. Making the device virtually free. You can also chose instore pickup then stack it with other stuff as well.

Now that the deal is out of the way, how is the phone doing in general? Is it getting some development? how is stock software/hardware?

I am thinking of getting one on this deal so want to decide :/, I am looking for the goods and bads. Right now I have an Epic 4g.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] PythonFanTN:
Hey gTen, good to cya over here. I'm still with the Epic as well, and from everything I've read, at least for me the one negative holding me back is that Roam Control reportedly from another thread isn't working with it yet, which is a dealbreaker for me until that's resolved due to yo-yo signal issues in my building. Everything else I've read of it thus far, at least for me, I'm sold on. The only other real outstanding negative I've seen/read from reviews both professional and real world users on the forums here & elsewhere would be the camera quality if you're a big camera user...even at 8mp pictures aren't all that great with the P-Q.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gTen:
While I don't generally use the camera much, how bad are we talking about? Like not as good compared to cameras of the GS3 and EVO LTE or as bad as the original Evo 4g camera?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] PythonFanTN:
Its not that its outright 'bad' I don't think, just not particularly 'good' either. Here's a couple of reviews you can read the camera-specific sections on for a little more indepth detail:

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tetrabyt:
I have read the reviews. I an I for one prefer this camera to my photon and that POS epic. I like the auto-focus. The only time I've noticed this thing can't focus is when you're about 2-4 inches from what you're trying to focus on. And even then you can see it trying to focus. The picture quality is very good too. Processes very quickly.

Took thus pic at Daytona Beach, Florida, last weekend.. Awesome!!!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gTen:
umm..that image is way too compressed to tell anything...

---

That said I just bought it...It was cheap enough to warrant the price...I mean you can't beat free...sure its not perfect but I don't think there will be any other keyboard phones for at least another year.

In worst case I have 5 more lines to play with lol
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] shabbypenguin:
moto makes a subpar camera sensor, my photon did ok in daylight but absolutely horrid in dark spots with noise through the roof. my galaxy nexus does more than acceptable job
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wintrxtrem:
I'd jump on this phone is someone started working on CM for it. Seems like there's very little development for the Photon Q, though, at least for now.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
Did we work together at some point on the viewsonic g-tab? Anyway.. here are some photos from the camera

I bought the tablet some weeks ago, I've already have root and cwn but I want to know how I can put 4.0.4 in my tab our what ROM to use and if I can overclock it

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] wd5gnr:
Your experience may differ, but I have been very pleased with the CM10 Jelly bean along with the MAXOC kernel (but not the superfast one; haven't tried it).

This offers everything including better battery life. The only downsides I have found is that some apps crash if you hide the status bar (with something like GMD Gesture control) and the fonts in the notification area don't look very good.

I have had a very rare case where something has caused a reboot, but very rarely with heavy use.

I do think since it is a "daily" build, you might have to try a few. You might start with the latest, and if that doesn't suit you, go back a day a time until you find something stable. Yesterday's seems ok. The one I had before was from about a week ago and it was rock solid other than what I noted earlier.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] General_Wolf:
And how do I flash the cm10 and how do I change the kernel?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djcasao:
My friend got a Galaxy nexus he brought from amazon and asked me to root, unlock and install jelly bean on it because he cant wait. He is though, just a fan of stock and has no idea of rooting or any development, so i flashed on his phone the ota (bigxie_maguro_JRN84D_v2-signed.zip) then a radio (CWM-RADIO-i9250-JB.zip)... it went okay for a few weeks then he noticed a problem where his signal turned on and off very rapidly... especially in 3g, but when shifted into 2g, his signal seems to be fine.. i asked him what he did but he said he did nothing in particular that could have affected the signal.. he doesnt use his root access though so i believe him. i tried flashing different radio, and it didnt work. so can any of you guys can help us? thanks a bunch

When I was having issues with my signal (my RIL and baseband did not match) I found this app mentioned in the modem thread https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril and it seems to have helped resolve the issue for me. Hopefully it'll be of some use for your friend if he is experiencing the same issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
Well made this thread to ask the question haha

Would you suggest this rom or erikk's one? both are alpha
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
It looks like Eriks is a full Sony port and this is only a modified aokp with some Sony apps
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VillaCastana321:
Mhm...okay. I was just actually about to test it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I wanted something easy :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
Has anybody gotten it to flash? I just tried, and I get a recovery loop. Fortunately, was able to power cycle back into recovery and get miui flashed. I was afraid at first I was going to have to one click back and start over.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
I'll look into it, and a question for experienced porters or devs. When I compile it (yes I am a zip noob) do I have to select no compression, or it doesn't matter?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
I didn't mean to make it sound like that's a bad thing. Some people will prefer your rom because of the aokp features and some will prefer eriks for stock sony.

Either way, thank you for contributing your rom to the sgs4g development. It's very much appreciated :D

"flashing failed" in TWRP.

I'll try a new DL and let you know what happens.

2nd DL, "Checking state of BML/MTD..." and then recovery loops.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chedy2009:
Im stuck on the loading screen and can't get in download mode after being stuck in bootloop
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chedy2009:
Bricked

Phone stuck on load up screen and won't go into recovery or download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
First what model of phone do you have? Second if it is indeed the t959v you're not bricked. To get into recovery hold BOTH volume buttons and power. Once the boot screen gets brighter let go of power only.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chedy2009:
I do have t959v but i tried what youre saying but the screen doesnt get brighter it just says dim
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
OK. Try this. same button combo. As soon as you see the splash screen count to two then let go of POWER. If that doesn't work do it by counting to three.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chedy2009:
Tried that to but still nothing idk how flashing a rom could cause this
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
What ROM were you on before you flashed? And flashing a ROM shouldn't cause this. You said you can't enter DL mode either?? Have you used Odin or Heimdall before??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
to go to stock follow hechoen's saying, but on TEAM ACID logo, wait for a LIGHT CHANGE and let go of the buttons. That is how I goto recovery every single time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chedy2009:
I trying to put the Xperia rom that we just got in the t959v forum but it was a bad link that just puts your phone into a bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
Comment removed. Never a good idea to comment before my first mug of coffee.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Or the 6th beer. lol Greg did you flash this yesterday?? And if you did did it break recovery for you? or DL mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
It's impossible for a ROM to break download mode (from what I know), there's like at least 2-3 download modes. Plus from re-coding the ROM, I didn't see anything that would touch the recovery partition. Try following lumins guide, if your phone can still boot then your phone can still boot into download mode. If not then your doing something wrong.

When entering download mode, pull the battery out, press the power button for 5 seconds, put the battery back on, put back the cover, hold both the up and down buttons, while holding ONLY the up and down button plug in your USB cable, your phone should enter download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
Yes, I tried to flash, but it caused a recovery loop. It did not break recovery or dl mode. I was able to boot back into recovery and flash another rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Thanks. Just wanted to confirm before I blamed user error.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chedy2009:
Got lucky mine won't let me enter any mode
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
It should enter both. I flashed it to my phone and I can access DL and recovery. Have you tried a jib to force DL mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
It should, if not you are doing something wrong. It is incredibly hard to hard brick this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
Question for you though.....were you on a mtd rom before you tried to flash this? If you weren't that may be part of your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Already thought of that so a flashed it from a BML ROM. It still just bootlooped recovery. Battery pull and was able to enter recovery and DL.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gregcapps:
OK. It was a thought. I did that once, same result...recovery loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chedy2009:
Yes it was. I know these phones are hard to brick and idk how I did it by just getting caught in a boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
So you haven't found a fix yet? Have you entered recovery with the button combo in the past? And what ROM where you on. One of the GB leaks changed the recovery combo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] armyms25:
I'd really love to true this if it gets fixed. Thanks so much for all you're hard work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
No promises but I'm trying to fix it but school is getting in the way :/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Johnmonkey0:
I had the same problem. It flashed fine for me but would get stuck at the boot screen.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] 5aq1b:
Hey - not sure if this is the right place to put this as I had the same issues with the Swiftkey app on my Galaxy s2. The problem I have is intermittent.

If i go into my messaging, or email app or WhatsApp - the keyboard appears as normal however when typing on it - nothing appears at all in the text field. I have to quit to homescreen 2 or 3 times and then go back into messaging and start typing for anything to appear.

Also sometimes what happens is that the keyboard will appear and will type as normal however the top line above the keyboard which contains the predictive words won;t appear - again the resolution is to quit the messaging app that i'm in and return to it. Really frustrating at times - esp when I can't type a message!

Does anyone else have this problem? I've updated to the latest swiftkey.

I'm running stock ROM however i've rooted the handset but the problem was happening before rooting too.

Any suggestions would be welcome - apart from that i'm loving the handset.

waiting...

2.i read that the current fxp release has only fm radio bug.is it true? rest things are working fine?

3.is this build good for everyday use ?

4.please tell me the fastboot method of flasing firmware on xperia sola i have an .ftf file..

i m a newbie... plz dont bully me. :o
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
I use it as a daily ROM, for me its sweet and stable enough.

FM and notification led doesnt work. Rest is working.

You need unlocked bootloader, you need to have flash tool.

You need to extract boot.img from FXP zip file.

You need to put this boot.img in \flashtool\x10flasher_lib directory

Put FXP pepper version in your internal memory.

Then do this:

if you use windows xp or vista/7 you have in accesorries CMD program. Run it and type:

cd \

cd flashtool

cd x10flasher_lib

NOW connect phone when you hold Vol UP and type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Switch on your phone, when you see FXP logo click vol+ many times until you go into CWM, then wipe system, cashe and dalvick cashe, install ROM, wipe again and reboot.

Enjoy

Before that put FXP pepper version in your internal memory.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] starterz:
Thank you for all information here concerning unlocking, rooting and flashing. I was able to flash my phone after some good reading.

Been using FXP213 on Xperia U for a few days, I am amazed how good the phone performs. Speed and overall functionality is very smooth. I am planning to update to FXP214 today.

One thing I noticed is that mobile internet (3G) sometimes goes down. For example - I am using WiFi, and when I switch off WiFi 3G does not become active. I have tried to switch on/off 2G/3G from the notification bar, this helped once. Otherwise, I have to reboot the phone. Is this something that has been experienced by other users?

Another thing, what is the best way to sync high-res contact pics from Facebook, LinkedIn etc?

Thanks for all replies. All best.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

I can confirm this too, GPS works just fine with CM 9.1 (FXP213). I understand any GPS device locks faster if you stand still for a minute while locking position.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nightcrawlerbr:
The only missing feature is NFC (tag reading), its not implemented yet.

That and a small reception problem (but I couldn't flash back to stock to test where I was, so, it can be just the hardware acting up).

The rest, everything, works, its my daily driver. GPS, Camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, GSM, Data, everything working, including notification LED.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] starterz:
I see a bug, while using Instagram in CM 9.1 the camera works on 1/3 of the screen, the other two thirds are black. The only way is to take a photo with native CM camera, than apply filters in Instagram while choosing photo from gallery.

Has this been reported before?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] starterz:
I have to mention this again.

Thing I noticed is that mobile internet (3G) sometimes goes down. For example - I am using WiFi, and when I switch off WiFi 3G does not become active again. It works just fine when using only 3G, it happens only when switching from WiFi and I have to reboot the phone for the 3G profile to become active again (H/E letter in the status bar). Is this something that has been experienced by other users? It happens daily for me and I cannot find the culprit.
