Motorola Looking for Testers for Photon - Motorola Photon 4G

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/58901?tstart=0
I've already registered.

Interesting. I wonder if they are going to push out the updates for testing that Yay already has posted in our development section, or if it might be something much more interesting - like ICS. Could be fun!

You don't say... who knows? Google might want to launch several devices with ICS at the same time.

Just signed up for it. If I get it and anything promising comes up I'll see what I can do about getting it to the rest of the community

Thanks for the heads up

That shows sprint and Motorola see the potential in the photon and want to continue making it better. Get us the DROID 3 blur and i'll be a happy camper.

I like the os that came with this phone. It doesn't really feel that bloated. Honestly it feels a lot like the vanilla gb rom I ram on my shift, just without the full customization

No audio calls problem!!!

So I just ditched my EVO the other day and picked up this bad boy
I have the latest everything prl profile...
I believe I have the latest software from moto ....it ends with MR1
Correct me if Im wrong
Problem. Is when I make or receive phone calls I get no audio what so ever....only fix I have found is rebooting the phone
I have read a little round here. Sounds like im not the only one....I also have another photon as well. From a different store...my girl and I both have one.....hers does the same thing
Sprint told me this was a known issue and the problem is with Motorola software and are waiting for a update
I read somewhere bout a oem software upgrade that u could manually dl and install ...and further read that they already started implementing in a OTA ....my phone says its up to date...am I tight. Do I have the newest software? ??
If I do I have the newest software ....well the problem still happens....a few times a day....super frustrating
Let me know

If you're not familiar with the "lather/rinse/repeat" line....I cannot help you, you are beyond my abilities to provide assistance.
Thank you, drive thru please.

You've been here longer than most of us LOL, you should know that answer is "NEVER"!
If ur on a custom ROM it'll likely fail out as it checks a bunch of app files to see if they have been messed with. Follow the thread in the dev section I created as virus and joey r n there discussing it some.

Wondering if there will be a WTop update attached to this or at least a current WTop source release. The funny thing is my service manager saw THIS and cursed Samsung all day. ICS MoPho will be one more thing I can pick on him about.
I hope they keep webtop, but with ics using the 3.0 kernel I see 11.10 in our future officially. Thats going to be one sweet update.

..... Wait does this means ICS for the photon? *whispering*
no way we are getting that. I filled the blank in for him. I am the Moto guy that lurks on these forums. It dispenses money but only twice every 2 weeks and you get about 200 bucks per withdraw
Well Moto guy, could you maybe pass along some nvflash tools?
Or wrong kind of moto guy?

Absolutely nothing. Just a bunch of bored dudes starting threads obviously. I'm sure the photon will see ics. Just not anytime within the next month or 2 is my guess. I think we'll see an official build by Feb (maybe) hopefully no later than march. Again, this is me guessing lol
Actually I have an inside source that says the engineers for the photon began ics work. But you know that doesn't mean much.

New MotoBlur UI

Engaget posted a look to the new Moto UI for ICS.
Lots of screenshots and it does look great (in my opinion, of course)

Stock Android still looks better.
its nice, been using it a while now and like it alot.
New motoblur is a step in the right direction with the modest amount of theming involved. They seem to have basically made their blur apps themed to blend well with stock ics which is nice. Icons are still ugly as hell though, and they changed the black statusbar? Personally, you wont find me runnin the new blueblur. For every blur app out there, there will be a better alternative in the play store.

so when do we get ICS? Its Q3, Moto.
Delayed till Q4 - Try Again Later.

I am definitely excited about trying the Official ICS from Motorola. I was on the stock Rom with my Photon for quite sometime before I rooted it and then started to flash custom Roms on it. In my own opinion, an small improvement with MotoBlur is a huge improvement for me.
i think ics with motoblur will be better than cm9

ICS update could be soon?

I know this is getting a little old to see on here but I thought I would just pass on the news. One of casual members over at atrix 2 forum found an ics leak using cheesecake for the att version of the phone just a few days ago yesterday Jim posted how to properly flash the new update(leak) of ICS.
Here's why I know we will get the update. The atrix 2 was one of the most currently under appreciated android device to come from Motorola in awhile. No advertisement. Just simply came out. The photon may have been out a few months longer but its resell value is still higher than the atrix 2 and has sold far more than the atrix 2. Please don't doubt Motorola on the ics updates. It will come out and it feels like only a matter of weeks or month before someone here finds a leak using cheesecake or some other method. Keep your chins up
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Even if Motorola released ICS for the Photon today it'd probably take them another 60 days to release the source code and drivers.
Actually I just checked and it seems they released the latest source code about 3 weeks before the OTA went live so maybe we'll get lucky.
Atrix*2* will have the update sooner, because it's OMAP device, like razor, bionic, droid4... It's easy to make it, if you have it already for one of them. ;-)

You are borderline trollin right now lex. Just let it go, don't be 'that' guy. And xda is supposed to be a source of information, hence it is closely related to a classroom. Every post that isn't at least somewhat informative is considered spam. "Motorola sucks" falls in that category and you should have known you were about to get flamed for sayin it.
I wouldn't write it better, even in my mother language.

Man, you started, if you look at the sequence of posts. Please, let it be...
So far for this being the first leak for the att atrix 2 its running flawlessly. The bug report thread for the build has not reported any major bug so far. So for just a leak Motorola did a great job with ics this ics. And did one of you say earlier that source was released? Were you talking about the tegra2?

Why are you so negative? If you hate Motorola so much and have such low standards for them then please leave the thread or provide useful information. If you have information about source being released in 8 months then post it rather than making assumptions based on your distaste for Motorola
