Flashed ktoonsez kernel and it worked and gapps , only thing not working is 3g so far that I can tell.

never mind messed with the data settings and did a reboot and 3g is now working

[Motorola Photon 4G] kikloo:
Hi,

Is it possible to run Windows Mobile 7.5 or 8 (Coming soon) on Photon ? I mean so many roms etc. are coming out everyday for photon and so much development is going on, so just wanted to ask out of curiosity if Windows can be run on Photon ?

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Nope, I'm afraid not. Our hardware doesn't have drivers for WP. The only way we could produce something like that is with support from microsoft which we do not have.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kikloo:
Hi,

Thanks for the response. I hope someday some company launches a device in which a user could change/install any OS on the fly.

Thanks.

Not sure if it's just me, but every/any time I try to open up the USA Today app, my phone reboots.

I've tried clearing data, clearing cache, uninstalling/reinstalling and the same thing - click the icon, splash screen, droid animation...

Anybody else?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRF-Inferno:
LOL yep, USA Today reboots the phone. Whats going on Motorola?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
Ok, glad it's not just me!

Absolutely love this phone, but was beginning to think I might've gotten a lemon. Guess will just have to wait for the JB update :fingers-crossed:
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olm3ca:
Weird - it doesn't happen to me.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
And the plot thickens lol
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herbbowlman:
I installed the app just to see, and it reboots my phone after the splash screen as well. (on wifi)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
No problems here - that "do you want alerts?" notification pops up immediately after the splash screen... maybe a coincidence, but worth mentioning... I guess.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xatt:
doesnt happen to me either. I said "no" to alerts -- if it's rebooting, did you say "yes" to alerts?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
Never even got to that point.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xatt:
Is this freshly downloaded or being restored from a previous account? I wonder if you have the right one for ICS. Mine is v. 1.9.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
Fresh installed. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling from the Play Store.

Wonder what the difference is!?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xatt:
I'm wondering if it's some conflict between two apps.

Update: took a quick look at the reviews and see one person reporting it -- are you dmitry? :)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper74656:
I've got the same problem here. Weirdly, it also occurs when I try and use the AP Mobile app. Happens if I'm on wifi or mobile data.

Maybe part of Moto's plan to deny us access to quality news apps? :p
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dodolom:
I came to the boards to see if this random rebooting was just my problem but seems like it is not. My phone has been rebooting for the last 3 nights in a row around the same time, 10pm eastern time. No clue what is causing it.

Also tried the USA Today app and yes it does reboot the phone.

Very strange...

Another issue I have is....my phone screen kinda flickers and starts getting brighter from dimmed screen.

Anyone else gets this?

UPDATE: I just saw this in the general section - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919581

and I also installed Nova Launcher recently and I feel like that might be the culprit...This is really really strange.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apourv:
Android OS is free. It means any phone manufacturer does not need to pay to google to make an android based phone. But when a manufacturer wants to make a WP device, it needs to pay licence fee to microsoft, to use WP os on its phone.:good::good:

So my question is will WP8 users get FREE upgrade to WP9 ( or whatever ), or they need to pay license charges for WP9???:confused:

Microsoft guarantees 18 month support. But if WP9 is launched after 18 months, will microsoft say that consumers need to pay license fee for WP9???:confused:

Just like PC, where upgrading WP7 to WP8 requires purchasing fee for PC, will microsoft give same treatment to Windows Phone users???:confused::confused::confused:
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Fees

Google needs to pay Microsoft some patents to use in Android. Don't ask me what they are called, I just know they exist.

The cost of those patents is found in every Android phone.

You will get your updates for Windows Phone free. This has always been the case. It is pretty similar to what you have on Windows Desktop through windows update right now.

You pay once and forget about that. Unless the OS changes so much that it needs new hardware, which is what happens now (windows phone 7.5 can't be upgraded to wp8). However, such a leap in highly unlikely in the near future.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apourv:
UPDATES (updates for WP8) will be free just like updates for Windows 7 Desktop are free. But what about UPGRADES, like WP8 to WP9. Upgrades for desktop are not free. For upgrading to Windows 8 from Windows 7, consumer will be required to pay.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
You won't pay on phones. For desktops there is a completely different matter. The operating systems on desktops are usually written from scratch (xp, vista and 7 were, 8 is based on 7, which is why the upgrade costs very little)

I just gave the example of the windows UPDATE to show how the UPGRADE might come.

However, there is little to be known about windows phone 9. It is too early to even consider its existence.

The whole mess with WP8 and WP 7.8 is caused by the change in operating system kernel. They changed it in such ways that it requires new hardware, as the architecture of the old phones is no longer compatible with the new OS core. You do get the 7.8 update which brings as much WP8 functionality as it can to WP7.5.

A huge change in kernels is not likely to happen any time soon(the next 2 to 3 years). Windows Phone 9 will probably be a bigger update than usual.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apourv:
I'll buy WP8 then. I was in a dilemma coz. on android, if you have good hardware, you can "Almost" upgrade from ICS to JB to Android 5.0, 6.0 (till the end of alphabets, lol ) FOR FREE.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
The upgrade costs have little to do with the work involved (indeed, because software can be easily replicated, there is almost no restriction to what they can decide to charge), but rather how much they can get away with.

W8 is a gigantic change from anything that came before it, while they already have trouble getting users to update from xp. The price had to be low in order to encourage adoption. If they could charge more, they would have. Microsoft is out to make the greatest profit possible, not to look out for your interests.

This same reasoning can pretty much apply to WP. I would wager that the largest factor in whether or not Microsoft starts charging is how successful WP becomes.

If WP is vastly successful, then they can get away with anything; time to make some money off the users. W9 (or some similar scheme; maybe even "upgrades after 18 months") will almost certainly cost money then.

If WP continues to struggle, then they can't risk alienating the users, and upgrades will continue to be free. Ironically, a struggling (but not in immediate danger) ecosystem is best for the consumer, in that MS would be forced to continue to push features to attract more users and can't just pull an IE6.

Anything between the two is hard to predict: if depends on MS' estimates of how much profit they can pull verses the damage it would do to their ecosystem.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justice Strike:
Microsoft requires you to get a upgrade license which is half the price of a normal retail version. So unless you are going to install wp9 on a galaxy s3 or a note you best stick with the upgrade and save half the money you pay on licensing.

normal wp8 license is around 300 euro so i'm guessing wp9 upgrade to be around 150 euro. Not bad considering a new phone would set you back more than that. However please note you cannot transfer a upgrade license to a different device. So if you plan to buy a galaxy s4 or note 3 and want to install using a wp9 upgrade, this is not possible.

Also, you need to check if the drivers for your wphone are whql certified, otherwise you will run in some problems down the line.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Where is this coming from?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circleofomega:
I had the exact same question, I even have a thread about here..I was told that the current devices will at least get WP9...but beyond that is anyone's guess. But then again..where do people keep their phones so long..I am tired of Android in 6 months...18 months that way Is a veeryyyyy long time...dontcha think?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Current devices aren't even going to get WP8.

The truth is, no one really knows about WP9, we can only make educated guesses like I did above.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Sorry but your educated guess is based on nothing:)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
You honestly think that, if MS got 90% marketshare tomorrow, with all businesses and most users/devs successfully locked-in, they wouldn't take the opportunity to charge at least for "major updates"?

(Indeed, given what happened with ie6, one can argue that there wouldn't even be a major upgrade unless it was paid for! There's just no business incentive to innovate for free, once you have a sufficiently tight lock-in.)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Yeh well the chance of them getting 90% of the marketshare is slim.

Besides, I for one wouldn't mind paying for the license. Their operating system is pretty damn good and you have to agree with that. In fact it is miles ahead of Android (the awesome open source everyone brags about) and slightly better than iOS. SO you can't really say that the money goes nowhere.

And despite the awesomeness, I believe WP8 will still be the underdog in the smartphone battle.

Anyway, it is too soon to even consider WP9. This will probably not come in the next 2 years or so.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Agreed.

You've just gone completely off track from the question.

Pretty much agreed as well. We were both guessing with no real data. That's all we can do at this point.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpaywk:
OMG, the reason current handsets don't get wp8 is because they have changed kernel and it would require a hell of a lot of work just getting drivers etc to work esp when you wont see much upgrade due to hardware requirement.

You wont have to pay for upgrades unless you upgrade the hardware. You can think of it more like buying a service contract rather then the os. In this case you get at least 18 months service. You can do this with pc's as well. For instance when we bought our last office licenses we got 3 year contract meaning when office 2013 is released we will be able to upgrade to that for free. In the pc world you find you normally get 3 or 5 years as that is the life cycle of desktop hardware. Phone lifecycles are 2 years and that is what MS are aiming for but guarantee 18 to cover themselves. If they bring out 9 in that time, though I suspect from now on they will tie in with there desktop so more like 3 year, then you will get it. If it will run on the hardware as 90% chances it will then they will also push it out. There wont be a change like this again for many many years we are talking here of a mammoth change not like when android swaps its kernals but more a complete and utter change not a revamp or slight upgrade but completely diff.

To put it simply you buy a phone that's what you buy as in you cant buy that phone without the os etc. You cant go to the shops and buy all the parts and build your own like a pc or upgrade parts like a pc. They will make there cash from hardware sales and don't need to sell the os as a separate license.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Let's look at Microsoft's history with software upgrades:

- Windows Mobile - starting with I believe WM5.0 they changed the licensing agreement to provide new versions to the OEMs without an extra charge so they could provide OS upgrades to their customers. This happened to discourage Custom ROMs. The OEMs mainly just ignored that but WM5.0 to WM6.0 and WM6.0 to 6.1/6.5 would all have been free upgrades.

- Desktop Windows: if you buy a machine with Windows 7 in the months before Windows 8 launches you can get an upgrad für ~15$ (shipping of the upgrade medium and management fee)

- Microsoft Office: the same as with Desktop Windows

- Windows Phone 7: no upgrade due to hardware requirements

- Windows Phone 8: if the upgrade arrives during the guaranteed upgrade period you are likely to receive it, otherwise it will be pretty much up to the OEM wether they want to provide the upgrade or not - we have seen how that worked out previously
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpaywk:
MS are pushing out the updates from Windows phone 8 themselves bypassing carriers and OEM's
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talderon:
Updates for WP8 (9,10,11,and on) will all be pushed via the Windows Update platform. There is a reason the platforms have all been unified (Desktop/Phone/Tablet).

UPDATES will be free, forever and always.

UPGRADES: There has been no talks on that roadmap from what I have heard. There are MANY reasons why the WP7.x devices are not going to be upgraded to WP8 (Dual Core Proc requirement, TPM Chip Requirement and so on).

IF there are new requirements like those above specific to WP9, then you will need to buy a new device, however, if not, then the update should be free. Mobile OS/Platform falls under a completely different pricing model than Desktop/Server OS's. The R&D costs are not recouped in end user license fees but rather in Manufacture license fees and Development Fees (market place). There is Ad Revenue and other streams where the OS will make Microsoft money.

Charging for an OS Update would be pointless. It would be like Apple charging for IOS when upgrading to major versions.

Hope this helps some.

[Galaxy S III General] heartnet89:
Hi,

I am new to Android as I just switched from iOS. Does getting an android phone with higher internal memory make the phone perform faster since the phone get slow when you install too many apps in the phone's internal memory? Would you guys recommend me to save everything in micro sd card? Is there a setting where I can set to directly install apps into micro sd card rather than internal memory? Please advise thanks so much =).

This is not a windows pc.. So your phone will not slow down.. However you may see battery drains.. You can use directory bind for installing application data on the external sdcard card..

I don't have the game, but I've played shooter games that don't have gamepad support. If your character isn't fully rotating, try setting your aiming stick to 'relative touch' mode.

Hope that helps, it did for me in the past.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sambouwer:
I figured out why it didn't work:

You hace to press Start in the sixaxis controller app first. Then wait for the app to get superuser acces (I get a little notification) and then press the sony-logo on the controller. This way my controller is recognised as a supported controller (the lights on the controller stop flashing, and the P1 light stays on).

I added my profiles of Modern Combat 3 and COD:BOZ for the Asus Transformer Prime (but they may work on your Nexus 7 too...)

put the .map files in data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/profiles/ and select the profile in the sixaxis app as active profile;)

So when i got CM10 nightly builds they had the emoji like the iphones have, now with the new cm10 builds they have the android emojis and its very difficult to tell what the other person sent. is there a way i can use the emojis from the old mms.apk on the new nightlys. ive tried replacing the files in the new mms.apk but i cant find a way to export it to an .apk it would be so appreciated if someone can help me with this. i have been trying to get this to work for a while now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheFiveDots:
You should be able to do this without any decompiling/recompiling. Open up the old and new APKs with WinRAR - don't extract them, just browse inside of them. Find the files in the both, delete them from the new APK, copy them over from the old APK.

Install the new APK back to the phone using a root explorer (or flashable zip) and reboot.

Done this before and it works. I also have absolutely no idea what is going on whenever I get one of the Android emoticons or smilies. Can't stand them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
This might seem stupid but did ya look in settings within the messaging app and make sure emoji support was checked? Sometimes its set by default and sometimes not!

That's not what he's asking. He wants to know how to replace the rather confusing green Android emoji with the default iPhone-esque set.

Don't put the modified APK in the ROM zip. Find an empty flashable and put the MMS.apk in the /system/app and flash just that.
