[Motorola Photon 4G] QuimaxW:
So, based on my lurking here, I'm going to be in a small minority on this one. I own the Electrify, have it unlocked and after running jokersax's cm10 for a while, I returned to the stock cm7 build (cybix, I believe...) cause I like the 15 hour battery life I get from it. Anyways, not the point...

My next phone will still be a Motorola. There, I said it. Why? Cause I like buying a phone from a company that's literally right next door. I know they are all made in China, but Moto's headquarters are basically 6 hours from where I live.

I've owned 3 Motorola phones now. They've all had really good radios and been stable and reliable. Granted the Electrify is my 1st smart phone. I've been in places where 3 people around me with Samsung or HTC phones have little or no signal, and my Moto is fine. It's also a good size for my hands, it fits in my palm, it fits in the car's cupholder, it's not garmungus like a lot of the new phones are becoming, but it's not iPhone small.

I like the phone, I dislike that Moto made a (sucky, yes) decision to not release any ICS/JB goodness for it, but that's how business works. They make more money by selling the masses a new phone rather than supporting the old ones. I'm not up for replacement until July of next year, but I probably won't replace my Electrify then either so long as it's still working. The specs are still pretty top-end and I suspect they still will be through 2013.

Thanks for letting me add a (hopefully) positive review on the Photon/Electrify board. It's great being able to lurk around here and learn stuff. :highfive:
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
I guess I'm in the minority also. This has been the best phone I've ever had, I'm unlocked, and can run whatever I want. I recommended this phone to everyone I know on sprint. It just works

[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Nothing wrong with that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mark112089:
Is there actual proof that the radio or antenna is actually better? If it truely does get better signal across the board. I'm on board. But I need hard evidence
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Based on my own use I think it's better than most. I get a strong signal everywhere, including the marginal-coverage areas.
[Motorola Photon 4G] boredmug:
I liked my photon while i had it, but was VERY frustrated with the lack of support. First Android phone i've ever owned that didn't get updated to a new version of android. I can confirm the signal is a little better as my g/f now rocks my photon and i'm pimpin' a S3 I picked up off contract, but it's marginal really. Photon still has pretty good specs, but i can attest, the S3 is FAST and the big hd screen is pretty nice. Also, the thickness of the phone is shocking compared to my photon. Oh, and one of the best things about it is the unlocked bootloader out of the box. Had CWM installed and rocking a custom ROM within an hour of buying the phone. Based on the raw deal Motorola stuck us with, i most likely will not own anymore of their products. This is coming from a home with a photon and two Motorola Xoom's. Build quality is fantastic, support sucks a fat one except for the Xoom's ofcourse..
[Motorola Photon 4G] schale01:
From my experience in selling the phone it does have one of the best radios out there. At least better than the GS2 and the most HTC devices that were comparable spec. I can't really say much for the newer devices as sprint network issues have worsened since the photon went End of life.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SirHoover2010:
I just moved to Moto from iPhone (i know Im a shame to the android community), before that i had samsung and htc.

At&t has spotty service where i live, but the atrix gets service better than the other phones. Im so happy with the service i get with this phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
the electrify is a great phone and all. only when unlocked really. but it's done the job. i wouldn't say moto gets the best signal. my htc desire actually gets an equal to slightly better signal. so htc makes good phones to :) i'm testing out samsung tomorrow with the note ii. i hope it's as good as moto and htc.

i will never own another moto though. not after the update fiasco and locked bootloader situations. if i can't touch my own phone. then i don't want it. mainly why i'm moving to the note ii. so much freedom!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Moto build quality and signal quality are the stuff of legend. I don't know that hard evidence exists to prove it, though.

I live way out in the middle of nowhere in North Carolina. Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T don't provide service here. Their service is known to be spotty in the cities like Greenville, New Bern, Jacksonville, etc. Between them, if you have signal at home, generally you have US Cellular. Even with US Cellular, I have signal issues. With a Samsung or HTC, the phone has to be in the window. For the most part, so does the Motorola Electrify, but it can get service (1 bar) at the computer, in bed, or in an extreme case, the bathroom (typically a Faraday cage). So it is a little stronger. And Apple uses Samsung parts, so for the sake of argument I can say Apple=Samsung WRT signal.

Another fun anecdote (since that's all we've got). 2007. Went to visit my mother in California. A state that doesn't even know what US Cellular is. My wife and I have Kyocera KX-5 Slider Remix dumbphones. My mother says "your carrier is who now?". Anyway, we get into town, we have some Round Table (hands down the best pizza I've had), the next morning she wants to take us into the mountains to go visit my nephew. Long story. Anyway, we're out of town. East of San Francisco. There's a city after you're well out of the San Francisco metropolitan area, starts with a C, I think. We stop there for burgers and fries. Another hour, we're in the mountains, middle of nowhere. My mother decides she needs to call somebody. (Probably call ahead.) Takes out her LG flip phone, on Verizon. No Signal. My wife and I check our phones -- we both have 5 bars. She borrows my phone, the call connects, she gets great call quality, no drop, no static. To this day she thinks we have satellite phones like in that one Jurassic Park movie, that get service in the jungle. It's pretty funny. A friend of mine who has worked for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint tells me that what US Cellular lacks in phone selection, they more than make up for in signal coverage, usually due to roaming agreements with other CDMA carriers. Since US Cellular does not carry the iPhone, I can safely say that Android goes places that iPhone cannot. :)

OP, you're okay with me. My wife is staying with Motorola as well, and can't understand why I hate 'em now, especially as I got my phone unlocked and running the OS I want. She only upgraded because her last phone was a bona fide piece of sh!t (Samsung Acclaim... 160MB RAM). She will probably use the Electrify until it breaks. 8 months later she has only changed the wallpaper. Unrooted, locked, running Blur Home as the launcher. I put Holo Launcher up there and she didn't like it, made me put it back, haha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
You buy from a company cause its, 6 hours away? They still don't care about updating your phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
There's nothing wrong with staying with Motorola if that's what you like. I'm on my fifth Photon. I had the random reboot issue. Not updating our phones was the final straw with me. Going to Verizon for the galaxy note 2 when it drops.
[Motorola Photon 4G] portman:
On GSM signal strength, my Sony Ericsson Naite is much better than Photon. Call drops are frequent on Photon. On 100$ Naite you can even make GSM video calls where all Androids and Iphones fails.

you made that up, there is no such thing as good pizza west of Chicago
[Motorola Photon 4G] badgett:
My unlocked Electrify has been a wonderful phone for me and I will keep it for a long while. That doesn't mean I will buy another Motorola though. Me and Motorola are over forever. I had the Desire (upgraded to 2.2) and the Mesmerize (upgraded to 2.2 then 2.3) before and I should have stuck with Samsung. I now use the Electrify and the Galaxy S3. My S3 has already received 2 updates and Jellybean is coming. Samsung for life.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
I believe management of Motorola Mobility was screwed up since the takeover; probably lack of leadership and no clarity whatsoever from anyone at the top..

The recent transfer of Soni from Google shows that Google has decided to get serious about MM.

In terms of devices, they have started by cleaning house. EOL most phones, free up labor to concentrate on current & newer devices and creating the BL unlock program.

MM is trying to get back on track.

But for me, its useless; too little, too late.

Next device will definitely not be from Motorola.

Most likely the Note II (not that Samsung is friendly to developers either); but its just a beast of a phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
I hope you love the logo branding on the home button (:
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Yeah, go on telling yourself that. Northern California can keep its pizza secret.

I'm actually a big fan of both Chicago deep dish and Brooklyn wide slices. Round Table is nothing like either of them. On one hand they're just a fancy Pizza Hut or Dominoes, but on the other, they use top quality ingredients and have great recipes that justify them costing 2-3 times more than them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] badgett:
Motorola will steal your pizza money. :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] QuimaxW:
I'm hoping they have their house in order by the time I decide to update. If they don't by then, perhaps I'll start looking elsewhere.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerxes8933a:
Hello there,

has anyone else on the Three network in the UK upgraded to Jelly Bean through Kies...

If so, could you confirm if the Remote Control options to use Samsung Dive in the Security Settings is still available. On my phone the options are there but the green toggle button to activate/deactivate the feature is greyed out.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance...

Xerxes
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0wkey:
good afternoon

I had what I think to be the exact same problem

NOTE: I'm not recommending you take the same steps as I took to resolve the issue but sharing the steps taken for visibility and perhaps confirmation

I got the green toggle button/switch working again by removing my Samsung account from the phone and adding it again

when I returned to the Remote controls screen I was able to enable the controls

Regards,

z
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerxes8933a:
SOLVED!!!

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to reply...

I followed your suggestion and I can now enable the 'Remote Control' settings, more importantly I can now track the phone and communicate from it via Samsung DIVE.

(also saved me having to do a Factory Reset which is what Three Technical Support suggested ;) )

thanks again...

So yeah, i just finished flashing latest resurrection remix to my i9100, but i want to keep the stock launcher (trebuchet), is there anyway to delete xperia home launcher (its not listed on my apps list so i can not uninstall it the normal way) and just leave the trebuchet stock launcher ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Li4m79:
you can use this to delete system progs and move trebuchet over to the system

or you can just install Trebuchet and use this to ensure it is used as the default
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Install a file Manager with Root access and then go to system/app and then search for the xperia home launcher and delete it.

You can also just install the Apex launcher or the Holo launcher HD, they are practically the same as the trebuchet launcher, but with more functions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
So deleting the apk from the system folder will uninstall the whole launcher ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Li4m79:
upon reboot YES!!

(my personal favourite is Nova Launcher)

In addition to what they've said, I've read the RR 3.1.0 Changelog and they said that they've included the Trebuchet Launcher from CM 10. I can't confirm it for now though because I'm currently using CM10 Nightlies, but currently downloading the ROM right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
Hello, long time lurker here. Thinking about finally making the plunge to a custom rom.

I have a lot of apps with my saved data, high scores, etc.

Wondering if it's possible to unlock, root, install custom rom and retain my apps and their data.

Will Titanium Backup do this, or should I suck it up and reinstall everything?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Titanium is perfect for such things. But TB requires root. If you are on the 2.20 firmware, I'm not sure whether the new temp root exploit will allow you to run TB or not. If not, your data will be wiped out when you unlock the bootloader (before permanent root is achieved).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kancherlapraneeth:
unlock --> root --> backup all apps including app data using tit backup batch mode --> flash custom ROM --> restore apps including app data using tit backup batch restore.. jsut ensure that you are not trying to backup & restore /system apps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
Telus version, so don't need to exploit, but I know unlocking the bootloader will factory reset my device, trying to see if there's a way to do this before I unlock
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That won't work. Unlocking the bootloader wipes data.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kancherlapraneeth:
thanks for correcting :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Oh wait, forgot about this little gem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671746

Follow that procedure, unlock the bootloader, restore data.

Now the trick is, on your version to get root you need to flash a rooted ROM (if I understand correctly). If you flash a stock rooted ROM, you may be able to do so without wiping data (which is normally recommended). Then you can run Titanium, and backup your app data.

Wiping data (factory reset) is normally advised when flashing ROMs. But if you flash a stock rooted ROM, it might be similar enough that it won't cause any serious bugs. Enough to get Titanium running. Then wipe, and flash a ROM of your choice.

That's just my thought anyway. Not 100% on any of that, since I didn't have to do it this way, personally.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
Thanks! That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.

Does it matter which stock rooted rom I use?

Such as: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1920424

So I would unlock, install recovery, install this rom. run titanium backup. install custom rom, restore with titanium backup?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Techno-Viper:
I guess not a nandroid data backup. Since it requires twrp or cwm but u can use apps for backup that dont require root. Such as share cloud backup. Backup all apps and transfer them to pc the do what u have 2 do and then use apk manager app to batch install the apk files. But this backs up apps only not data not files.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DioTGT:
You should be good to go. I switched from the Evo LTE with Sprint to the SG3 with AT&T last week. I actually bricked my phone on the first hour of having it because i flashed a GSM version of a ROM on my phone. I had to go back and get a new phone all within the same day. I was new to having diff versions because with sprint, I never had to deal with that. So just be careful when flashing incompatible versions of a ROM as that will DEFINITELY brick your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Chromium:
lol k, thanks. So rooting theres no chance to brick, but if you flash a custom rom you can ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquethys:
you can brick with everything...

The way you can brick with Odin - unplug while updating

While flashing ROMS - flash a ROM for wrong carrier

Just make sure you read up before doing anything. Flash only ROMs made for your model.

Hi Guys, I am android newbie :victory: . I recommend you to try the following a2sdx script by amarulz. It is awesome... :good:

Original thread => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310309

It is an alternative to a2sd, link2sd, S2E, or etc. But it uses a different method than link2sd or darktremor a2sd, resulting in faster performance

Internal memory is shown as 959 MB in screenshot below.

Preparation :

1.You must have /system/etc/init.d

2.You must have sd-ext partition

3.You should not have any a2sd or any other such script like darktremor or link2sd installed.You must uninstall them or delete them from /system/etc/init.d folder

Installation :

1.Extract the zip.Copy 40ad2sdx into /system/etc/init.d

2.Change permissions to rwxrwxrwx inroot explorer(or adb chmod 777)

3.Reboot

4.Be patient...it may take 5 minutes or more to boot for the first time after copying the script as the script copies and symlinks the apps between sdext and /data.

5.That's it. No apps or terminal required!
