Google bought Motorola for its patent portfolio. Otherwise, Motorola operates as a separate entity.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxReApErxX:
Haha nice idea but that's going too far, saying the truth about their really bad update policy and how they didn't fulfill their word about the ICS update, their blocked bootloader and how we feel about it will be enough. I'll do it.

Oh and we should get this issue to be covered by azrienoch or however his name is in the XDA TV Show.

Yes, because what we paid for the NEW PHOTON 4G doesn't matter.

I don't agree with you. I was excited when this phone came out and now they are ****ting on their owners?

I love the granola you've been smoking but are you KIDDING?

Thete are so many plans in the atrix general forum... u guy should see em and also take part i in them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Yes and? Doesn't mean that google can just step in and completely change things in minutes. It'll take years most likely before they take true control over the company. So google is not to blame at this point.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I don't think we can make that assumption. It's entirely possible that google, after the acquisition, has squeezed Moto so hard financially that Moto doesn't have the budget to honor their promises. Have seen it happen in other acquisitions over the years.
[Motorola Photon 4G] GPhoenix:
Anyone want to try to file a formal request?

Not to say this will make it a reality for us to receive an official unlocked boot loader but check out Motorola Mobility's External Idea Submission page here http://eis.motorola.com/ and let us be heard formally. According to the site, "EIS is the only method by which Motorola Mobility will receive and/or review any unsolicited external idea. Any external idea submitted to Motorola Mobility, Inc. by any other means will not be reviewed and will be promptly returned to the submitter, if physical, or automatically deleted, if electronic."

We can only hope and let's keep this going guys. At least at the moment, unofficially via the Motorola Forums, a Motorola Employee and forum moderator has responded to my questions in reference to our recent response to Soni's announcement and request for an unlocked boot loader and additional drivers necessary to support the devices on our own. This at least shows us in one avenue they are hearing us outside of the social sites.

So let's file our requests formally to get it into their ticketing system as another avenue of hope. Or maybe I am just too optimistic and delirious at this point. :silly:

Cheers,

GP

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musaddict:
So I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant SGH-T959, I carefully researched and read how to safely upgrade to a custom OS, so I installed CM10 (I may switch to Helly Bean). Upon booting up my phone for the first time I was greeted with the screen to sync my Google account, but first I needed to choose a network. Only problem, it only gave Wifi as an option, and it didn't automatically connect to my data plan.

Upon digging through the settings, I found a list of network operators, so I selected T-Mobile. I then realized that was for text/calls, so I looked at my list of APN's, which was empty.

Like an idiot, I didn't back up any info, let alone my network settings, before I flashed CM10. Is there a way that I can regain access to my mobile internet? Or is this a hardware compatibility issue?

My experience with flashing / editing / general jailbreaking type actions is... in its infancy, so if you would be so kind as to spell it out for me, or to point me to a link that explains it for newcomers, that'd be great!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Well all you have to do is enter the proper APN for T-Mobile. Try this: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1976

If there are further issues you can ODIN back to stock.

I have cm10 installed on my Vibrant sgh-t959, and I am trying to install all my apps synced with my google account, but it doesn't want to work on my data connection. I can browse the internet and use online services just fine, but it doesn't want to download in the play store? Works on wifi.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2LoT:
Hi,

I would like to purchase some apps to my daughter. But I don't want to configure Google Wallet in her cell phone. Can you please advise a way to purchase an app for someone else's phone?

Thanks for any advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Google gift cards. I haven't seen any in the wild yet, but I haven't really looked either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Or buy a prepaid visa or amex.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Yeah, gift cards or prepaid credit cards are probably the least unwieldy solutions.

Another option: temporarily attach your CC to her Google account, buy the apps, and then remove the CC from her account. This way she should be able to get updates in the future but won't be able to initiate in-app purchases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2LoT:
Q1. Which prepaid credit card do you advice? That's a good idea, I'll give her this for xMas. Is there any expiry in this system? (Must spend all funds before X days?)

Q2. In the mean time, I would like to take advantage of the 75% discount of the 25 billions campaign in Google Market which is running currently. Can you describe how to attach my CC to her Google account? Did you mean my existing Google Wallet or should I sign up her own Google Wallet but using my CC card? Afterward, how to remove?

EDIT: Please forget. I just tried to buy with her Google account, the Google Wallet form pops up, I signed up with my CC. I see in Google Wallet that it is possible to delete the CC info any time. So I think Q2 is now fully answered.

Sorry for all these silly questions. Hope you don't mind to explain a little bit more. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Just noticed you're in Canada. We have a more limited selection of prepaid credit cards here - most come with extra fees.

Another thought - now that VISA debit is available in Canada, you may be able to attach a debit card of her own to her Google Wallet. Then it's her responsibility to not overspend her own money :) Just be wary of overdraft fees.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberpyr8:
You can also put a pin on the credit card info so that you can prevent anyone from using it without permission. I have done that on all of my kid's phones without issue.

Play Store/Settings/Set or change PIN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
AHA, I knew there was a setting something like that but I'd forgotten where.

Nonetheless, I think if you attach your CC to her Google account, it still means that she can use her password to spend money with your card on the web Play Store in a browser. So that is not a perfect option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
You can attach a card to the play store, then secure it with a pin. This is what I do with my son. If he wants to get a game or purchase any add ons for his games he has to come to me and or mom in order to proceed. It works great. I also get and email notification for any purchases he makes so I'm always in the loop.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Yabbut the PIN is on-device, not attached to the account globally. If you put your card on his Google account I'm pretty sure he can still log into play.google.com and make purchases without your PIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewmungus:
Radio shack has them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ragnar:
No any purchases in that play store account requires the use of the pin, if child doesn't have pin child can't purchase. If child finds work around and a way to crack it then parent has bigger problem than child buying apps.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Just tried it. I assigned a Play Store PIN to my GNex and checked that it must be used for purchases. Then I logged in from my laptop in the web browser, and purchased a 25 cent app to be sent to the same GNex. The purchase went through.

It would seem they need to implement PINs on the *server* end of the Play Store, not client.

Heck I went into settings and cleared Play Store data and that removed the purchase PIN too. This is clearly an honour system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wayners:
Pay for an app for someone as a gift. Or kids devices

You get two choices when you accept to buy an app on the device you want to install app on. You can pay or there is an option to send URL for payment to whoever via email. So send URL to yourself or whoever is going to pay via email which will auto pop up when you select... Send URL... .. I send to my Gmail account then click link on pc or phone and follow instructions to pay . Easy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Sorry if this has been brought up before but with Googles latest revision 6, would it be worth getting a nexus over an epic touch 4g? I have been offered a trade of a nexus for my et4g and thought I would check with everyone to see if it would be worth it with the new revision. If the phone is much better now really the only thing that would prolly bother me is that 4g lte will not be in my area for a few months so I would have to stick with sprints crap 3g unless it is better on the nexus. Horrible 3g on my epic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sader2202:
A trade by who?? Sprint?? I would say the nexus, you can never go wrong with a nexus, latest software, latest hardware what more can you ask for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
Latest software? Nope. Ask verizon and nexus nexus owners about how that latest software is going. Latest hardware? Nope. When it was released, it was a mid end device hardware wise.

Biggest l deal breaker should be the network. It seems like you already have wimax 4g. Always use a phone for its network and not network for phone. Even if lte is going to start launching in your market, it's going to be a few towers here or there with random coverage that slowly increases as more sites come online. Sprint lte market launches with 30-40% or even less towers completed.

Ask yourself if you're really willing to wait 6-9 months for lte in most places around you.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Well I am in Austin Texas and apparently we are supposed to be getting it by the end of October or November. The wimax 4g is definitely better than 3g but was just checking if the update makes it much better than the et4g and if 3g was better. On the paranoid thread it said that the update males the nexus pretty much kill every phone out in terms of snappiness and speed so I did not know if anyone had any experience with it. No microsd support but it is 32gb storage so that helps. Better screen so.. just seeing if it was worth it or not for a straight up trade and then I would purchase a quad core when they come out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
Indeed it is a active network vision market but iirc most upgrades are in the Waco region. Don't know if Austin itself is upgraded yet. If nv hasn't reached your city... Speedy nexus or not : you will hate it for slow data speeds.

Ur choice but my warning to you is watch the data speeds especially 3g. Austin market projected completion is the end or q1 2013...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Well one of my techs recently just traded his E4GT for a nexus, and he couldn't be happier. Even with the slightly inferior processor, that thing runs like an entirely different animal with jelly bean on it. It blows our device out of the water in terms of just general UI awesomeness.

Consider this: the nexus 7 posts similar benchmarks to the iPhone 5, and that's with the much hyped but still underwhelming tegra 3. Not to mention being underclocked. Jelly Bean really does make that much of a difference.

Now would I do it? No. But that's just because I'm attached to my devices as if they were my children lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
I actually have both devices at the moment. A Galaxy Nexus and an Epic Touch, if I had the option to I would trade in for a second galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ebuks97:
does sprint let you switch between devices of the same price?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
No but I wish they did. Someone on craigslist wants to trade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Think I am going to go to the sprint store near my house and see if I can live with the 3g speeds on the nexus. While it might perform better, I use the internet a lot and I think that would be my bottom line.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
You could just turn off 4G on the E4GT................ to see how it is
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Apparently the 3g is supposedly a little quicker than the et4g. Dunno if that is true..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Well went and checked out the nexus.. despite the lte that is not out yet, the nexus is no match for a rooted epic touch. Sticking with the et4g.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skodazek:
Is the physical damage effecting the functionality of the device? IE. The camera not working or flash etc.

I doubt there is much that can be done At this point to restore physical esthetics. If the phone functions as intended I would recommend not letting it bother you.

If it is really bothering you there is a product called 'NOVUS' available that is designed to remove scratches and blemishes from the material your phone back is made out of. You should be able to find it at any department store and most certainly online.

Hope this helps and let us know the results if you give that product a try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidspd:
Why don't you just replace the back cover as previously mentioned? If you don't want to do that just hide it by using a case/skin. From what I see, the camera/flash is not that badly damaged.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbieandroid:
I have a few questions targeted to those that currently own a Galaxy Note 10.1, first question does Hulu application work? I currently have a HP Touchpad and the application doesn't work on it. There is a work around but sometimes the browser force closes or no display shows up. The Hulu application was working fine on my HTC One S before I unlocked the bootloader. Hulu may lose a customer :( Besides that with the Jelly Bean leak when using split screen is there still a delay before an application responds to your touch? Last question I noticed in the Jelly Bean leak a web browser icon on the application list in the middle of the toolbar that can be windowed. Can the web browser be in a tiny window and moved around like the calculator and music player? Thank you.

[HTC Rezound] Superm@π:
Anyone else out there getting callers telling you that they hear an echo when talking to you on any of these AOSP ROM's while connected to AUX port while driving (happened with viper rez too)? Upgraded my cable to monster and it made no difference. Maybe there's a setting I'm overlooking?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
It might have a bit to do with AOSP, but to me it sounds like something you can't avoid when you use the your car stereo to make calls. The other persons voice pumping through your stereo, and thus back into your microphone. Just something you can't avoid.
[HTC Rezound] Superm@π:
Damn! I just don't understand why it used to work! Uuuugh! Thanks for the reply though wolf!
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
AOSP does have some funky things going on with calling, but whenever you put someone on speaker phone, it is obvious to that person.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
open the phone app, hit the menu button and then hit settings. Make sure you select "enable noise suppression" and "enable voice privacy" and see if that helps the problem.

I have those setting enabled and I do not notice any echo or weirdness while using speakerphone or headphones.

I haven't attempted to call myself on another phone to hear what it sounds like to the other person when they're on speaker, but so far nobody has asked me "hey, do you have me on speakerphone?" when I'm using it...

Oh also, are you using the aux port to connect to speakers only, or do you have an external microphone also?
[HTC Rezound] Superm@π:
Honestly, I don't know. I don't see a mic anywhere. I'm plugging the rezound directly into the aux port using monster aux cable. Its a 2007 328i and I think I may see what could be a mic under the stereo but I'm not sure. Btw, yes, suppression and voice privacy are both checked! Thanks for the response!
