Decided to start a thread detailing problems users have been experiencing. My main problem right is my phone will not emit any sound out of the speaker at random times and I have no clue how to fix it.

You have owned the 3d and the photon right? Is the reception difference really that great? And does that include 4g?

Reception difference when speaking on the phone is without question better. If we are talking data speeds I seem to get more bars but my speeds are still the same, really crappy.

I bought the Photon yesterday afternoon. While I was in Best Buy I had my Evo 4G and the Photon side by side and the Photon had 4 bars while the Evo had 2. Same with 4G. This morning while driving I had full reception (bars are so small I can't tell if there are 5 or 6) and my Evo had two. So by that guage the Photon does better. However, here in Indianapolis where there are three Clear towers but no official 4G yet, I could pick up a weak 4G signal in my bedroom and no where else with my Evo. I couldn't pick it up with my Photon.
Now - as for problems - I thought the phone was great until this morning when I couldn't hear anything on three separate calls. I restarted the phone and then could hear and be heard. Later on today it did the same thing until I restarted the phone. Also twice the phone was locked up - wouldn't wake up and I had to pull the battery and reboot. I'm probably going to return the phone to Best Buy. I don't know if I'll get another one or wait a few weeks to see if they get the bugs out (I've read about the locking problem on another forum so I don't think it's isolated).

I've only had two things happen consistently that have made me scratch my head.
One is that if a long enough time has passed that my phone locks with the security PIN, when I unlock it by entering in my PIN and hitting ok there is sometimes a lag before the phone opens up coupled with the dim screen from the lock screen staying dim for a bit. We're talking a few moments at most but noticeable on a phone that flies, otherwise.
Second problem I'm still trying to figure out - manifests when I'm using Glympse (location sharing app that shows your location/speed LIVE to someone else). I've been using this app since it came out - a long time ago. If you're not familiar with this app (it's AWESOME), when you're transmitting, your location arrow is green. If you're not, it's gray. If there's a problem with the transmitting of your signal or location, it's yellow/orange. I'm consistently finding that after initially sending and transmitting ok, if I check the phone 5 - 10 minutes later the arrow is orange and I cannot get it to transmit again. I'm putting this here as a bug because I believe it's a data handoff problem as the times I've seen this happen I had 4G on. I'll experiment more and report. Maybe using Pandora as I drive home this evening.
I'm having an issue with the camera. Even with manually adjusting the focus, have you noticed that this camera is particularly bad at taking close-up photos? My Nexus One never had a blurry or out-of-focus photo, but for some reason the camera on my new Photon takes crap pictures. I've even tried the macro mode and it still looks terrible. This is at about 4 inches away from the object being photographed. I tried in various different light settings too! No luck... I went back to the Sprint store and took some pictures with the demo units -- both of them exhibited the same issue.

I've had the Evo, Evo 3d and no the Photon and the Photon by far has the best reception hands-down. Not just the bars, but the actual signal readouts as well in opensignal or something similar. 3g data is much more solid/stable/quicker on this phone as well. The 3g radio on the 3d seemed to take a "nap" fairly often and just drag along in general.
Can't comment on the 4g though...I rarely ever use it.
It's really bizarre and irritating how if you have a screen lock set, the Photon will display both the regular lock screen with slide to unlock, and then the screen pattern lock.
Every other Android device I've ever played with, the screen pattern lock replaces the regular lock screen.
Have you tried holding the button til its focused? It auto focuses then doesnt snap the pic til you release the button. My camera takes awesome pics.
*just noticed the on screen button snaps the photo when you release the button. The physical snaps the photo after a second or so.

I need someone to help me with trouble shooting a REALLY weird issue.
download this wallpaper (http://euphoricarythmia.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5551&d=1308386199) and set your brightness to high then auto. Does the left side of the image loose it's detail?
Also, if you use the stock launcher and remove a shortcut does the icon look really crappy?

I am having the same exact problems. Didn't start happening until Day 3 of ownership. I can call, but lose all sound. The only way to fix was to turn it off and on, then its fine. I thought it might have been connection problems with the Air Rave in my home office, but had the same problem with it disconnected.
Sounds like with so many having the same issues these might be caused by 2.3.4 and not the phone hardware. I haven't seen an official bug list for this GB version.
Anyone confirm this? If so, then maybe an upgrade from Moto to 2.3.5 or whatever will be an easy fix if indeed there is one from Google.
The not being heard bug is the most discerning to me. Rest I can live with for now.

Exact same happened to me, but I can add that i think it does it after roaming, but I may be wrong. It's rather irritating; if it keeps happening I might go talk to Sprint.
i received 2 calls today, right in a row and couldn't hear anything on the other end.
rebooted my phone, and its working great again.
only thing other than that minor blip that i've noticed is streaming audio on my mlb at bad app. it sounds like the audio is on fast forward - skipping all over the place.
anybody else experienced anything like this with streaming audio? i used tunein this morning and noticed it very slightly as well.
I'm having the same phone audio issue as everyone else. My wife, who has the Photon, experienced it this afternoon. Hopefully someone finds the cause or a fix soon. Other than that, I love the phone!

Now you guys are worrying me. I'm not someone who uses the actual phone part of the phone a lot. I might use the phone to speak to someone maybe 2-3 times a day for a minute each, if that. In fact, I can go entire days without using the phone to make a call so if I've got these problems I likely won't see them manifest. Still, I don't want to experience them at all when I do.
Speaking of which, do any of you find the vibrate options for receiving calls odd? Under SETTINGS > SOUND > VIBRATE PATTERNS, there are four choices. "Dot vibe" is the only one that feels like that. It goes "buz buz buz space buz buz buz".
The "dash vibe" is like "buuuzzz buz buz buz buz"
The "Fast vibe" is almost worthless, going "bzbzbz"
And the "Long vibe" is anything but! It's seriously "buz bzbz bzbz".
I can barely feel any of these when the phone's in my pocket. Do you guys see the same types of patterns I tried to describe with my buz and bz's or is my phone vibrate jacked? I mean, I can't see how the "long vibe" can even be that - I expected the long steady vibrate at the very least.
I've been waiting for an excuse to try Sprint (from Verizon) and with the bad battery life of the 3DO and mediocre reviews I finally made the jump once people started raving about the Photon.
Here's what happened to me:
First picked up the phone, booted it up, went through the set-up questions, got to the "add accounts" set-up for email and social networking links and the phone froze - this is before I even got to the main screen. Had to take the battery out to reset.
I downloaded some apps, including the amazon apps, which it didn't like, and the phone froze two or three more times throughout the day. I also had spotty coverage, particularly at home in NYC. I did a data factory reset and the problems persisted. The next morning I went back to Sprint and tried to get a new phone figuring I might have gotten a dud. They didn't give me a new phone but the manager said it should've been turned on to accept Sprint only coverage and that was the problem. He fiddled with a couple other settings and now the reception problems are better. It still has crashed a number of times and I get FCs a lot.
I'm coming from an old BB Curve so this is my first true smart phone though I do have a CM7 Nook, which seems to be less buggy. I'm pretty disappointed with the bugginess but the phone still seems pretty cool otherwise. It seems to respond quicker than my Nook - which it should. I don't know what to think about 4G. Here in NYC it's pretty spotty for everyone that I know who uses Sprint so it makes me think that at this point 4G might be a waste. I also don't notice the Photon having any more bars than the people around me who have an Evo 4g and an Epic 4g. I can't help but wonder if I should've just stayed with Verizon and gotten a Droid X2 or something.
That's all I got for now.
** update - a couple of days later and Go Launcher installed. I'm very impressed. I love this phone. It seems to be stable at this point. I compared it's reception again, measuring its bars vs the Epic, HTC shift and Evo 4g and it was consistently better than those phones.

Ah, that does help the camera take its time to focus! Good job pointing that out - I probably would have never noticed it.
I still have artifacty/grainy images in lower light settings, but I guess that's the best I can expect from a cellphone's CCD. Here's to hoping one day my phone will take as good a photo as a point'n'shoot.

Wow, you are right. It's pictures come out much sharper now! Thanks!
I have got Amaze last week, but there are two main problems with this device.
First, the "power off" button doesn't work sometimes, no responses when I long press the button.
Second, after installing some apps(about 60), wifi has some problem---when the
screen off and I open again, the wifi is automatically cut off. Even though there is a wifi "label" on top of the screen, I can't browse internet. Then I manually cut off the wifi and connect again, it works. But everytime the screen closes( u know, it is unwise to keep the screen always on), the wifi will be cut off automatically. I don't know the reason. I have changed a new one this week but same problems arise!!! I am driven crazy!!! Could sb nice to help me????
besides, I have tried "factory reset", and problems will go. but when I install apps again, problem rises again...
I'm having the same issue with the power off. It was working earlier but it looks like it stopped after I applied the htc update. I've been working all day and that's the only change
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
htc maybe do the same error like nexus one :/
I have issue even before update!! then how do u deal with the problem now???
what is the problem with nexus one???
to solve the wifi problem....
go to settings, then click on wireless and networks,
scroll down to wifi setting and click
On the wifi settings page touch the second capacitive button on the phone, then click on advanced settings..
On advanced settings page, change the wifi sleep policy to never..
This should solve your problem
same problem happened to me today, data reset the phone power off button problem will be resolved.
I'm having this problem now...and the wifi fix didn't work.
Any other ideas?

Our power buttons were notorious for just not working one day.
I am noticing quite a bit of light bleed onto the screen from the soft key LEDs ... Does anyone else notice this, or is it the nature of the beast? I am used to amoled screens, but this screen is beautiful.

Does anyone have a solution to the power-button issue? It will shut off the screen, but wont prompt anything if you long press the power button.
---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------
Found this surfing:
"Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with not being able to power off your device Amaze device. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device and I will gladly assist you with this today. You have security credentials checked, a password set,and Fastboot off. You must either turn off security credentials or enable Fastboot. For the Fast Boot option to work you will need to re-enable the Storage Credentials(under security settings) and enter the password once more. Then, enable Fast-Boot and you should be able to safely power cycle."
That last one worked for me. Not sure *which* - I turned on fastboot *and* turned on security credentials.
* edit *
But after the test reboot, it stopped working again...check settings, and security credentials is off - but fastboot is still on.
Turn on security credentials again, and the power button starts working.
I'm not going to re-re-reboot it, though...yet.
i was thinking of getting the HTC Amaze.... like, next week, currently have the MyTouch 4g and was going to give it to my brother, but have been reading issues with the power button, over heating, BT loss, no wifi calling..... anyone having these issues as well?

I just picked up my Amaze today. I had gotten a new SIM card just two weeks ago, but the TMO folks said I had to use the one that came with the Amaze because it supported the high speed downloads; older cards would not be as fast.

I have spotty 4G coverage here. My old phone was the HD2, which is 3g. Just today I happened to get into a 4G solid area and I loaded Google Maps - nearly instant load of terrain and satellite. Those would have taken several seconds on my HD2, or my wife's Exhibit II. So I think it is indeed faster if one lives in the right area.
I can't say what difference there is in SIM cards, because I have only had the new one that came with the Amaze in the device.
Alright, so as a techie, I understand that software can be buggy. I understand that updates fix and improve things over time, but sometimes do the opposite. I understand that I should put up with the occasional reboot. However, I DO NOT understand why the hell I cannot use my phone. I am tired, I am pissed, and I have exhausted the thought of how much I regret trading in my evo 3D. Yes, the LTE Evo has a lot of RAW power, but what good is that if I cannot freaking use it?
So, *ahem*, after my angry rant, here is what has been going on with my phone (and getting increasingly worse) for the last month:
4G my a$$ - I live in Houston, one of the the first markets that was supposed to get 4G. The Wimax network, which was aleady spotty, is still a lot more present in Houston than the so called Sprint LTE deployment. Look, I am a patient guy, but when my 3g speeds cannot go past DIAL UP then we have a big problem. Am I seriously paying 230 dollars a month so that four smartphones have DIAL UP speeds? Cmon, Sprint!!
People (HTC stock app) - it does not work. every once in a while, it will start working, but for the past month, I can only dial numbers on my call history. The problem? When I open the app and search through contacts, everything is dandy. But when I click on a contact, I get a black screen. It is a screen where the top notification bar still shows, and the latter still responds, but right below it is just dark. If i click home button, it does go back to home. However, clearing the cache, rebooting, etc, does nothing to get the app working. That's right. Reboot does not work.
Google Play - It ALSO does not work. So you can kinda search through it up until the point I click on an app. At that point, the whole thing freezes and my only choice is to exit out by pressing the home button. Moreover, reboot also does NOT work.
Gmail app. - Please see the last two points. Exact same problem. Except this time, when you click it to open the app, it simply takes me to a white screen. And that's it. Reboot also does NOT work, nor does clearing cache, etc.
:
So, am I alone in this? I do not know what to think. Since around 2008-9ish, when I first got an Android phone, I have never hated a device so much in my life. The worst part is, it used to work. And then it used to heat up a lot. And then right after a meaningful vacation with my wife, it had a sudden death (the screen literally went off when I was using it, never to turn on again. And according to my forum research, I was not the only one who suffered this "sudden death syndrome") losing all my pictures. And then Best buy black tie's thingie got me a new one, which is the one I have now...with a gazillion problems. Thoughts, or recommendations?

I never stick with stock roms. I always unlock/root my phones so I can get the best experience. Haven't had ANY of the problems you listed except LTE, but you can't do much about that until the towers are updated/upgraded.
I am alright with 2,3 and 4 and not worried.
I totally agree with you on # 1 ! Man, I just hate my new phone right now. I can get LTE speed here, BUT .. it does not hang onto the signal. Even when I am a few blocks of the tower ! Sprint or HTC have to adjust the treshole.
I was so happy with my 3D. I was able to Skpye w my relatives even when I was inside a room bc the 4G (not LTE) was great!
I do understand about paying $280 for 4 lines at dial up speed!
Right now I am frustrated of Sprint lying to us. 5 cities are ready for LTE, yet the deployment is only 20% complete !!!
The issues you list could all be related to network vision upgrades....
Have you tried switching the phone from lte/cdma to cdma only?
There are areas in Dallas that I have to do that in. Speeds went from horrible to avg .8 mb down and .6 up
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I think its time for a replacement ..only issue I have is the multitasking
All of those problems seem fixable by clearing data and the likes. the only real issue is the LTE.
Im in KC. At my house on the eastern side of the city I get solid LTE service as of sometime last week or so. Haven't run a speedtest under 8mbps down. Look at the phone, LTE is always there.
Then I drive to work. Not 2 miles from sprint headquarters. 3g is abysmal. I can get 4g if i stand in the right spot outside. Nothing inside though. And when I see that LTE I don't pull more then 1.5mbps down. All part of the upgrade process.
Once you get it the phone becomes a whole new beast. And first run cities are supposed to be totally completed by what? December.. At least in KC.
So the reason your signal is such crap just means that your LTE is coming. Once it does, it's worth it.
Don't have any of your probs except the gmail prob. Seems to happen when its downloading mail and switches from 3g to 4g. Clearing gmail ussually solves it, once I had to login into gmail on my pc and delete the last email, everything worked after that. Not sure what it was about that email...

Alright so it seems most of you do not have the problem that I have with the apps having white screen of death, so I keeo being told it is a multitasking problem.. i have already cleared cache and all that, killing apps with task killer, rebooting, etc, but that did not do anything. In which other ways I can solve the mukltitasking issue?

By the time Sprint finish deploying their 5 cities in December to 100%, in another few months after that, another new model of LTE is OUT!
So what do you get out of these LTE phones that are out now ??????????????????????????
Can you see this ?
Mine has been doing this too, a reboot and wiping your dalvik-cache should fix it for awhile.
As for the network speed though, that you'll just need to call and yell at sprint about.
I'm bummed about the speeds so far (in Chicago). I seemed to have better speeds with my Evo 4G (3g service mind you, obviously WiMax will be better than the LTE)
I rooted and lazy pandy s-off immediately. However I just loaded a custom rom after 3 weeks of use (was happy for the most part with stock). Loaded Meanrom ICS and I'm very happy with it. Small bug here and there but definitely glad I did. No major issues plus you get quick settings and a working google wallet plus other things.
Try a different custom rom, it may solve your os/ui-related woes

Small bug here and there but definitely glad I did. No major issues plus you get quick settings and a working google wallet plus other things.
Try a different custom rom, it may solve your os/ui-related woes

Meanrom its one of the best IMO but the latest Cynogen Mod 10 its very nice and fast it has more bugs though

Hello,
I just got the HTC One X+ from ATT. On my old Atrix I used it to listen to the radio through TuneIn or iHeartRadio all day at work.
Since I got the One X, it seems to lose its data connection a couple of minutes after the phone goes into lock, especially if I get an email notification. I've turned off the power saver setting and even unchecked the power saver options.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix? Do any of the custom ROMs fix this? I've rooted it using the AIOTK, but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Simon

This happens on all AT&T devices that I know of. My personal opinion is it's the quality (or lack there of) in AT&T SIM cards.

Hmm...
It didn't happen on my Atrix running CM9, so I thought that it may have been a setting somewhere. Every time I unlock the phone the streaming picks up automatically.

It started and seemingly has remained to AT&Ts micro SIMs. I have had it happen on my iPhone 4 One X and One X+ all of which use micro sims
Have you heard about it happening on other networks?
Check if you have disabled Power Save mode, it turns all data off while in standby (screen off).

Hi Wlk,
Yep, that was the first thing I tried.

Interestingly my phone dropped to edge for some unknown reason and I wasn't having any problems. I rebooted to get back to 4G and suddenly the problems started occurring again. This is my first true 4G phone, the Atrix was HSPDA+ (or whatever). Maybe its a network issue?

I'm pretty sure it is NOT a micro sim issue. Probably has to to with HTC/ATT wanting to save as much battery as possible. Same reason they changed the multitasking, saves battery. Have you called support about it? That is a genuine complaint, it shouldnt happen.

Not yet, I thought I'd post here where I might actually get help.
I have this issue as well, and I'm pretty sure it's not an ATT specific issue since I never had the issue on my HTC Inspire 4G (DHD). Not when it had stock gingerbread, not on ICS, and not on JB. first time I've ever had the issue was on this device. I suppose it could be something specific to LTE, but that'd strike me as odd since bandwidth doesn't appear to be an issue on it, and streaming music doesn't take much. Like, 192kbps music stream out of the 45mbps I typically get in my area.

I stream music in my car over LTE to my BT radio and I don't have any problems for hours. Do you have an android market task killer or battery optimizer installed?

Me too. I didn't have any issues with my previous phone, but it didn't have LTE. It's hard to narrow down exactly whats happening.

No, I don't now and I didn't before I rooted it either. I will probably take it into an ATT store tomorrow and see what they say.

Lol, they won't be any help. Since you're already rooted, I would try another ROM to see if it happens.

Perhaps this is an HSPA connectivity issue. OP, are you on LTE or HSPA when this typically happens?
I noticed that this happens with the WiFi signal as well.
Has anyone had trouble with Ingress on the HTC One? I keep getting nothing but a blank map. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app and resyncing several times, all to no avail. Apparently it's a "known issue":
Some agents have reported seeing a blank or black map on their Scanners. We're currently investigating a fix for this issue. In the meantime, some agents have reported that disabling Wi-Fi and forcing your device into 3G or data-only mode resolves this problem. Please refer to your mobile phone's manual for the exact instructions on doing this for your device. Note that you may incur extra data charges for doing this since you'll no longer using a Wi-Fi connection.

I managed to get the map to show up once, but since then, no luck. It's a damn shame, because the game runs quite well on the One.

I am not having any trouble -- the game runs substantially faster and better than on every other device I've owned.

Hello fellow agent. Have same problem it has to do with LTE. If you launch the game the initial scan doesn't always work when on LTE. If I go into Network settings and turn off LTE by choosing WCDMA and go back to Ingress it will load fine. Then I can go back and use LTE as long as app stays running. It's flaky but this has worked every time.
I'd like to report this to Niantic. Do you have a thread going on this or is it on G+?

Yeah, I reported it in a Google Group.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a shot.
EDIT:
Yup, I just checked, and AT&T LTE is the culprit. Seems to work fine when it's disabled. I really hope Niantic gets this resolved - I'll add this information to the post I made.

Can you give me the link? I'd like to post I'm having the same issue. What's odd is it's only the initial scan. When the app is running and you're on LTE it appears to work fine. Hope they fix it soon too. My guess is when the app starts it doesn't detect the LTE connection properly or something.
