Have You Replaced for Silent Call Issues and Gotten Better Results? - Motorola Photon 4G

Just curious if anyone has seen an improvement with a replaced phone.
I know of only one personally who has had his replaced and after two days the issue arose once again.

hey buddy, just had this happen to me right now, is it a software ? Or hardware? I restarted the phone, and it worked again... Weird!
Thanks.

You guys are aware it's a software issue that's already been fixed by Maintenance Release 3 available in the Development section, right ?
I'll never understand why so many people just jump the gun on getting devices replaced when 90% at least of issues are software in nature.

Crud I hope the Maintenance Release 3 is not the final one if the audio problem still exists. I hope Motorola is taking their time to find all the problems reported and fix them before officially releasing a maintenance release.

Probably because they want to. It was their money don't worry about it. I dont know why some jump the gun to run their mouth about stuff that isnt any of their business.

I was asking as the OP on this thread because I actually use my phone as a phone for communicating and not just playing games on it.
Kinda negates having a specific phone of it locks up and or has silent calls....so if it made sense to exchange it I would....so that I could actually use the tool I bought....ya know?

I initially had the same issue. Turned out I still had my old phone powered up. Once I turned it off and rebooted all was fine.... Maybe this works for you...

I replaced m y phone today at Best Buy and so far so good.
Strange thing is, while this is a MR1 software package, there sure are some things which are different.
The email setup for one to manually configure was completely different than my first phone.
The rear speaker is way louder than the first unit and I thought that one was loud.
The really weird part is, as soon as I opened the browser the first time and then went to load bookmarks, all of my previous bookmarks were already there. Is Google or Sprint storing this information in a cloud somewhere?
I was so taken back by this that I checked all of the various serial #'s and such to make sure they gave me the new phone, even though I watched them with it the entire time.
BTW....setting the battery to PERFORMANCE really speeds this up on this phone.

Download APP Cache Cleaner. It fixed my issue without reboot or MR5. Hope that helps and "thanks" please

Just picked up the Photon yesterday and I think I had my first silent call this morning. Phone rang, answered and neither party could hear the other. Has sprint acknowledged this as a known issue?

Only had that issue before I flashed the latest sbf

After going through 3 from 2 different sources, I gave up and went back to another phone till something reliable as a phone comes out.

I have the latest software build and I still have the same problem

New ota. Beware.

Some have been saying that it was safe to take the ota... But there is another new one. I am betting it closes the hole. So be careful.

From what they've said, it's not recommended to take future OTAs, so a new one probably won't be safe... but I doubt it closes the hole as I would bet that they don't know what it is yet.
Just because someone discovered it, doesn't necessarily mean that HTC already knows where to find it.
I won't be taking anymore updates, because I don't want to lose the opportunity for root, but I bet this one wouldn't close the hole.
But, thanks for the heads-up about the new one. I haven't noticed it yet. Too busy tearing my phone apart lol.

Nothing new sense the Launch Day Updates
That's odd because I certainly got a new OTA prompt. And it is the first time that when I decided... The prompt went away.

What was the original one? Because I think this one that prompted me was 1.13.651.7
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I don't think that this a new OTA you are getting. There were 2 that were pushed so far, and that is all Sprint lists on their website.
Something even more interesting though, and looked for the Evo3D Support section and it doesn't exist... I know that it was there about a week ago, just seems odd that there isn't any support section and they don't even show a link for the Evo3D to select as a phone in the support section..
Don't jump to conclusions on the phone not being there, but I would guess that it isn't there for a reason.. Hopefully something good!
OP: The one you were prompted for was the 2nd one.
no new ota atm
No new update for me either.
Is there a way to see the change log for HTC updates?

I think the closest you will get is on Sprint's website. Like I said a few posts back HTC doesn't have the EVO 3D listed anymore on there support section. That is where they used to show you what was in it, a little more detailed than Sprint..
Whats going on there... We can only wonder.

Nope, I just installed the OTA (1.13.651.7 from the 24th.)

No new OTA here. Last time the 3vo had an OTA was the day of public release.

lag issues? i'm not familiar with blade buddy or that touch screen app for galaxy.
i haven't done anything *too* intensive on the phone but i have rarely experience any type of lag on this device. the lack of lagging has been very impressive to me.
if you are on the stock ROM and kernel and still experiecing lag, based on my personal experience, you might want to look into taking it back for an exchange as it could be a hardware issue.
if you don't experience the lag on a stock ROM and kernel, it might be whatever custom ROM or kernel you're using has an issue or bug. if you're on a custom ROM/kernel, also good to check in those specific threads to see if anybody else has reported a similar issue so the dev knows to look into it and resolve.
hope that helps!
Yea when I first got the phone the xda east major laggy and that's before I rooted so I guess I need to take it back then cuz this sucks...since I rooted its been flawless but couple days later the lag would come back and now my screen is becoming unresponsive at time for like 2-3 secs!!!

yea. as a last resort test, i'd flash everything back to stock and run it for a day. see if its still laggy. if it is still laggy, find good examples of when it lags so when you take it back, you can show the person how laggy it is through the examples.
hopefully you can swap out for a device w/no issues!

lol yea, given the unknown area rooting a device currently sits from a legal standpoint, i'd avoid anything related to rooting the device as a prime example.
ideally, if you're experiencing lag on the device, it will occur frequently in common tasks like making/ending a phone call or moving between text messages or moving between menus in the settings screen, etc. it makes the best case for having an issue when you're able to demonstrate it lags during normal routine operations.
hope that helps!

hah yea. working on mainly two small apps on the market, root check and flashimagegui. pondering publishing the completely stock ROM with root, busybox and some developer tools i use on my personal device (as I did publish this on the evo and it was decently popular - might be where you saw my name). also, trying to help out (give back) in the q&a boards when i can!
if you find some good common tasks which cause the device to lag, post them back here as people with the same or similar issues might find this thread through searching and it'll give them some rough benchmark to compare against.
i've yet to see this device lag through any common tasks i run. previous android phones ive had would experience lag so this device has definitely impressed me!

[Q] CM7 and 911 Calls

I've been reading that CM7 doesn't allow 911 calls on the vibrant. I haven't tested mine (Running nightly 81, Bali 1.2, GPS Fix).
Is this true? Are the developers aware of this?
If this is true, this should be a huge red flag in any rom that has this problem. Does this problem exist on other roms?
I posted this question to issues as well:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4222
By the way, if you do want to test this, I've seen in other threads a suggestion that you call the non-911 number for your 911 dispatch center and schedule a test call. That way you wont end up with a swat team at your door.
See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209517

This needs to be addressed. I was dialing 911 two Tuesday evenings ago since I was in a car accident. It is beyond reason why someone would leave such a critical bug on any kind of cellular phone OS. Is 911 linked to the GPS perhaps?

Beyond reason? Perhaps devs don't call 911 often. Can't say I've ever tested it.
Its not tied to the GPS. Its more RIL crap to deal with. Blame Samsung for that.

I don't see how we can blame SAMSUNG at this...
On a Samsung ROM, 911 works perfectly. So how exactly is it THEIR fault?
You people need to get better things to do then blame TMO/Samsung at everything.
Oh no! a CUSTOM ROM's 911 doesn't work! Why don't we blame the big companies because its their branded phone instead of asking how we can help the devs fix it!

Jt is saying that if you don't like it, go back to stock. No one made you flash. Android is supposed to be open source but because of all proprietary crap it's hard to get everything working as well as a developer (and user) would prefer.
These guys work for free so quit your *****ing or make your own damn rom.
Now going back to my fascinate forum which I now realize to be slightly more mature.

if that was the case with.. lets say.. a feature/theme then yeah i'd agree, quit *****ing and get on another rom.
but its CALLING 911.
That has to be one of the MUST have "features" on a phone, no?
Anyways I'll drop it here, Your putting words in my mouth and trying to make me sound like I'm against our devs or something.

It's not you dude. Ive noticed the last couple of months that CM7 brings out all kinds of "characters". I'll just leave it at that.
I am confused if you were upset at me realizing this bug? I know the evidence does fall upon Samsung or T-Mobile for using a custom rom. I am well aware that this Rom is experimental for my phone. Have I known about this flaw earlier, I would of used a different ron.

I remember I had to call 911 on a Samsung rom and it didn't work. Does it have to do with anything?
I called 911 "by accident" for the hell of it, and it worked fine. It must depend on the carrier/area.
Sent from my T959 using XDA Premium App
This post contains the technical details of why 911 calling generally does not work on the Vibrant (and maybe other SGS phones) on CM7. Long story short, it's not necessarily Samsung's fault, they just implemented emergency dialing different than is done in the AOSP. That difference is enormous however because the Samsung implementation involves stuff on a low-level (i.e., radio implementation).

ICS updated but want Ginerbread back i think

I waited and waited. Thought about rooting and using a ROM before the official ICS update came from AT&T but just decided to wait. Finally got the update via Kies, excited like a school girl. Initially it was a cool new bit of scenery, and as the OS settled in with me, i found myself disappointed and wanting my gingy back. I've been upgrade for a couple months now i think, and had plenty of time to try to get used to it.
I am finding lots of things that just plain suck.
1 - Text message notification audible alert discontinues after awhile (unknown amount of time), only resolution I've found is to reboot the phone. This sucks because just out of nowhere my text notification tone stops. Everything else like ringtone etc is fine. This is a dealbreaker for me almost. This worked fine on Ginerbread.
2 - new Swype software gives me problems when the word suggestion feature stops working completely. Swype is hard to do without word suggestions at times. Only solution i've found is again, reboot the phone. This sucks. I know, don't use swype, but i WANT to use it. It worked perfectly on Gingerbread.
3 - the widget for Google Voice is super tiny now, and i don't see a way of making it bigger. It's approximately the size of 4 icons, whereas before on Gingerbread it was huge and you could easily read/see your voicemails. Maybe i'm missing something on how to change the widget size, but i see no way of doing it.
4 - my News and Weather widget, which i used for weather and news all the time, since my original Galaxy S, does not display any weather information anymore. Just says "No Weather Information". this worked fine on Gingerbread. I guess different phone OS makes widgets work differently. I just want mine to work as expected. News still comes through fine though.
5 - Unlocking the screen seems more difficult now, usually takes me a couple tries, whereas it seemed really smooth and awesome before the update
6 - Power Saving widget is huge now, takes up half of one screen, whereas before it was just 1 row and you could scroll across. Why make it bigger and take up more room with no additional functionality?
After listing all this out, i'm trying to think of the things i LIKE about ICS update, and i can only think of one, which is the data monitoring/limiting which is kind of a cool feature. I doesn't seem any faster really than before. So overall, i honestly was happier with Gingerbread. 6 things that i find that suck versus one thing i like.
Maybe this is me being picky, but as excited as I was to get ICS, i'm equally disappointed in the upgrade. My wife uses a Galaxy Note and it is available for her phone now, and I told her don't bother with the upgrade.
Anyone have any advice??? experience the same problems? I know i could root, install a custom rom etc, but i really like the touchwiz stuff from samsung and i was really happy with just the stock gingerbread OS, even with all the bloatware, i just disregard all that junk.
I'm having the same problem with text notification I just notice that I get a text it would sound but just about an hour ago it just stopped I would get a text and nothing ringtones works and everyrhing but I think is a ics bug maybe it would get fixed in the new update 4.0.4

at&t sucks. bottom line.
Advice, if you want to stick with touchjizz, run a custom one, there are plenty that *should* have those issues taken care of.
But the widget size issue, thats just looks, with a different launcher can change size of widgets.
Lol I called this one. A bunch of people upgrade to stock ICS. Then they complain and want to switch back, mess it up, and start new threads. Hopefully they all learned their lesson about carrier upgrades . I mean even I tried it, just to see what it looked like and how it functioned. Then again I knew how to get back to a custom Rom Before I did it. It's actually not too bad, but there were just too many bugs and battery life was too bad for my taste.

It isn't 100% on all phones it seems to be random but instead of posting something VERY VERY risky for people not so inclined to troll the forums and find out about the risks of certain actions why not shut up or post what you think will work then link them to a topic showing what bad could happen. You just seem like you want people to brick and make more topics about how they tried to reset and bricked. You also need to think of Google searches that link to this topic and they read it and see you said reset and they do it. It isn't just xda its anyone with the internet don't lead people to a possible brick

The only way to go "back" to Gingerbread is to flash UCKH7 straight stock or one of the Gingerbread stock plus root packages in Entropy512's thread. So yes, use that, or one of my guides.

Shostock2 loss of signal

I have been having an issue where my phone loses signal for the past few versions not sure what version it started on but I am currently running 5.4. I have been following the Shostock2 thread and I know others have been experiencing this issue as well I just can't post there yet and I wanted to share a couple of things I noticed last night.
When my phone lost signal is tried to access the wireless and network settings - more... and I received a notification that I needed to install a sim card and then I checked the phone status and the baseband was listed as unknown. I don't know if this will help troubleshoot the problem but I thought I would share. Also this issue seems to happen more often when I travel through areas where there is no phone service.

I was getting the same occasional loss of signal on 5.4. The good news is I have not had the issue on 6.0

Alternatively, you could maybe... post in the thread for the ROM you are running? Or better yet, read that thread, then post I'd you still have questions.

I haven't had that experience yet but I strongly suggest you run the update (v6.0) and see if the issue persists. Devs tend to NOT support their old version of ROMs.
Good point.
As was suggested, run the latest version of any ROM. The support is there for the latest release due to the issues most likely being fixed from older releases.

I have read the entire Shostock2 thread, and so far there have not been any solutions. The latest update has only been out for a few days and I generally wait a week or so before I update to a new base to make sure the update doesn't cause more issues than it fixes. I only posted because I have not seen any posts list the errors I saw and I thought it might be beneficial to troubleshooting the problem.
I may go ahead and update early to see if 6.0 resolves the problem, I had thought it was fixed on 5.4 as I had no reoccurrence since the update was released until this weekend and now it has done it twice.

I had similar problems on 5.2 forward. Hasn't happened on 6.0 yet, but its only been a couple of days.
Mine seemed to happen when I was switching from one tower to another. No one else I know locally on ATT and with same, but stock, phone or any other phones seem to be having the problem. And like me, they are constantly driving in an area where they switch between several towers in an fairly short time. I tried several different modems and none seemed to help. Hopefully 6.0 will fix it if it was even a rom problem.

I also keep up with the shostock thread and have seen plenty of people with the loss of signal issue. I have never had the issue until i updated to 6.0 now my phone locks up with no signal, i reboot, when it boots up the signal returns but battery may drop from 75% down to 14%. No clue.
If you plug it in before you reboot it will prevent the battery drop you are seeing.

I went ahead and updated two days ago and woke up this morning to no signal again. I checked baseband again and it was normal, but it still asked me to insert a sim card when I tried to access the mobile network settings. This leads me to believe that this is either a hardware or software issue on my phone, and with the number of people that have been experiencing this problem I am leaning towards software.

Try cleaning your connection on your SIM card and the contacts on the phone with a pencil eraser.
