I am getting the Photon today [from Epic] - Motorola Photon 4G

But only to hold me over until the SGS2 comes from Sprint.
I need a new toy to play with and the Epic on any software bothers me with its problems.
Is this MoPho noticeably quicker than the Epic? I played with store demo for a bit
but still not enough time and thorough to make this judgement for myself =]

Well, I came from the Epic. I thought it was a great phone, but I really love the photon! Blur can be a little laggy going from screen to screen. Use launcher pro and it flies. Mine is unlocked, rooted, and has Alien rom on it, and it's just stupid fast and smooth. Once source is released and we have custom kernels, it will be even better. Battery life has been great for me. Some people have had problems as with any new phone, a fix is to be released soon. I however have not had any of these problems. I also have the dock which is like having another computer. All in all it comes down to personal choice. What works for one does not work for all.

ok cool thanks for the reply. The one at the store was lagging a lil from side scrolling the screens.
ALSO being very new at the phone, In 5 mins of touching the phone I figured out how to page jump by swiping up on the launcher pulls up the seven screens like pinching in does on the epic and htc. Whereas reviews claimed there was no way to bring up the screens in any way.
only thing that bothers me is the screen. i dont think I could get used to that.
there was similar effect going to epic from evo, seeing the pixels. But the Photon is way noticeable on pretty much anything. But then again its just a temporary toy

I came from a Vibrant which is the Tmo galaxy S.
(well, ok, so I had a evo 4g and a evo 3d between....but the Vibrant made those BOTH look like a POS)
I had custom kernel (overstock) and a very nice ROM on the Vibrant (don't recall which).
It was very fast, stupid fast. This Photon keeps up with it and I have had no real problems that I can really think of.
I honestly do not see the MoPhos screen as being lesser than the super AMOled....I seriously do not see any noticable difference.
I also got tired of waiting for the SGS2.

I am getting the photon today as well, actually its already at my house in a box waiting for me to get off work and play with it.
I'm coming from an EVO - i'm overdue for an upgrade

Agree... that's why mine's being shipped here at Work. However, mine isn't arriving until Monday.
Although I like living in CA because of the weather, it also means I have to wait a few days more every time I order a new phone from Sprint.

If you really miss Sense, check out some of the other launchers on the Market like ADW, Launcher Pro, or Go Launcher EX <- my favorite. Many of them have widgets that are very similar to HTC's Sense. If the Sense clock is the thing that does it for you, there are also tons of widgets that replicate that too.

just got a photon and i need to tether free without doc is it possible yet? im not positive im keeping it and tethering is deal breaker but i got photon free as exchange for one of my broke epics.

That is cool they give you that as replacement. What are you talking about tethering? I use the hotspot all the time on my Epic. Are you saying on the Photon you need some sort of dock?

When you decide to move on from your Aria

What would you do with your Aria once you decide to get the next big one! (since your 2yr renewal is up)
I personally think someone should develope a Game ROM for the Aria, you know make it into a Sega Genesis or SNES port of some kind!
.
I'll give it to my sis, she inherits all my old (and not so old) technology
And could be soon, right now I have the SGS2 on my sight...
Debating that very question myself right now. Just got my Thrill today. Probably turn the Aria into a dedicated mp3 player/wifi device...that or sell it.

it'll be my backup phone in case something happens to my new phone.

Yeah not much going on for it yet. A couple of slightly tweaked/themed stock roms. I hope kernel.org comes back up soon so some real development can get going. A good thing is no locked bootloaders or anything to discourage development.

Bronze it and put it over the fireplace.
No clue. I still have another year on my contract. Definitely something with a bit bigger screen though.
1. Backpack GPS route recording (while bicycling)
2. WiFi packet whoring
I've moved on from my beloved Aria long ago, but she still still puts in work occasionally as a dedicated audio player and back up phone for my girl mostly since she's extremely bad with phones.
Someone stole her iP3G so I bought her an iP4. Someone stole her iP4 so I gave her the Aria. She broke the digitizer, so I gave her My Pre+. She dropped the Pre+ into a glass of wine (don't ask...) so I gave her back the fixed Aria. She destroyed the Digi yet again, so for the time being she's using an Xperia X10a I got her. Lets see how long this one will last........
So far so good. She wants to use her upgrade on the iP5 when it eventually comes out. x_X
Here's hoping I can can get the X10 back in one piece...

Evo4G+TP2=Photon4G ????right?????

I have had an EVO for over a year now ,but allways kept my touch pro 2 for job international travel.
Now ofcoarse I'm aware of photons gsm roaming with sim.
I'm trying to decide will I miss my flashing ROM addiction on my EVO .I am running energy on my tp2 and MikG on my EVO.
I have navigated through the photon forums and its definitely not as lively as EVO forums.
It could possibly reduce me to a single device ...
Should I or Shouldn't I that is the question?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
well, i'll give you this to ponder, was in the same boat as you, had my evo for a year, year and a half, photon came out, was the only phone that made me upgrade, if i didn't would still have my evo to this day
GSM
I gave my Evo to my daughter when upgrading to the Photon. Used it in the Dominican Republic last week with an Orange GSM card withdrawing no problems. Was nice to switch between networks without having to carry two phones. I also used Skype when on WiFi and the quality was excellent.
I miss being able to mod the phone like I could the Evo but there is a lot more activity on this forumn than a month ago. The Photon is a little better phone than the Evo in my opinion lighter and the screen a little better
Well you won't have a thousand ROM's to flash, but......are those thousand ROM's on the Evo REALLY any different? Or are they just slight differences on the same base?
I used to be addicted to flashing ROMs on my EVO too but honestly haven't missed doing that since I got my photon. The reason I flashed ROMs and kernels on my EVO was to make the battery (and overall performance) better. With this phone, that's not necessary since the battery is amazing!!
If you wanna change the look of your screens then there's always different launchers with themes to choose from.

+1 to this. Went from the WinMo HTC Diamond years ago, to the flagship Sprint Android Hero, to the EVO Shift to the MoPho (just got it yesterday). Becoming a Flashaholic was a way of life, and...as semi-exciting as it was anytime a new base or kernel would drop, flashing 1-2 ROMS a week or so became tedious and distracting.
I rooted the MoPho this morning simply to be able to access the build.prop so I could set the LCD Density where I wanted it (200), adjust the VM Heap (64m) and run a few scripts, along w/ convenience apps like reboot, screen off and button remapping. At this point, I'm more than happy to sit back and let the experienced devs do their thing as this phone comes into its own, and it just feels good to not HAVE to tweak the hell out of the phone just to get it to behave like a phone.
That's what I needed to hear...
A little positive reinforcement.
Thanks guys ...Nov.1st is my day..to get the photon.
But I'm keepeing my EVO .) To play with.

So what you think of the Photon?

So what do you guys think of the photon you happy with it? Been thinking at some point about tryin the phone out in the near future.. I know the layout isn't like sense like the Evo or Evo 3D.. Always been curious about the photon.. I noticed the dev support isn't poppin like the other bunch of phones that are out.
Would be nice to see more roms out for it
I'm more than happy with it. It's an awesome phone. We may not have as many roms as some phones, but the ones we do have are quality, and our devs are awesome. I had an evo and a nexus s before this and have used my husband's galaxy s2, and the photon is hands down my favorite.

Was a long time evo user and now a evo 3d user ... Been building themes for the evo 3d and started some rom builds for it
I have seen a few root methods out for the photon and some recoverys. Good to hear some things about the Photon..
The Evo 3D is a great phone I like it just been wanting to try something different ... The 3D also has plenty of roms out for it. Dev support and full root now.. The photon just looks like something fun to play with and fresh just haven't heard much about it once it came out.. Always looked like a excellent phone...

Coming from my old Hero, this thing is amazing in every way, and I still feel like with all the patchwork ICS roms that we're just scratching the surface.
My only complaint is the size of the phone. Don't get me wrong, having this big of a display is more than a fair trade off, but I'm a big guy with hands big enough to palm a basketball, and it takes a lot of effort on my part to go from the bottom right corner to the top left corner with my thumb without readjusting my grip on the phone.

My personal experience has been less than satisfying.
It's a horrible phone to root and unlock. When i first tried to root and unlock it (coming from a HTC Arrive running Mango, and a CM7 EVO 4G before that) it was such an undertaking.
Ended up breaking the radio.
Just flashed my phone again today, and the radio's are dead. As a 17 year old male, my connection to the news, friends, and internet is now dead. Bring on the withdrawls..
two different phone, the same problem...
Well the best thing about having a father thats regional manager for Sprint is free phones...

I made it blue the rest of the rom is themed just didn't throw all the pics in lol.
The statusbar is colored blue with a background I added to it..
I can make it transparent but didn't want to at the time... Same for the rosie at the bottom it's semi trans parent..
Statusbar looks great clear just the problem is some backgrounds can make the text hard to see unless you change the text color..
I always liked the look of the photon layout . Is the stock rom always white at the bottom or can you change that look on it? Never seen anyone ask that before..
One thing I can do for everyone is make custom wallpaper
Easily the best device I've owned.

Redhead3D stepchild.

Well it seems like no-one what's to deal with E3D anymore... Only a few dev still on top of it. Maybe its time for s new perchase of the lte. So the e3d will rest peacefully in my dresser drawer.

You don't know what you're talking about. There are still plenty of devs working away at it. We have 4 Sense 4.0 ROMs in active development, countless 3.6 ROMs, and Agrabren and Co. are almost there on camera for AOSP. Toast is working on Wimax.

Well it seems like no-one what's to deal with E3D anymore... Only a few dev still on top of it. Maybe its time for s new perchase of the lte. So the e3d will rest peacefully in my dresser drawer.

If you decide to go to the Evo Lte, you won't be sorry. Thats all i can say.

Viper and vin still have their 3D and will continue to make ics roms for it.
You guys still have team nocturnal and team 420 both put out awesome roms in my opinion
But yeah, you won't be sorry if you got an evolte

You don't know what you're talking about. There are still plenty of devs working away at it. We have 4 Sense 4.0 ROMs in active development, countless 3.6 ROMs, and Agrabren and Co. are almost there on camera for AOSP. Toast is working on Wimax.
Plenty of development.

basically this was my opinion comparing it to the past few months.
Well if there were a better way to S-OFF than to brick it would be soooooo much better.

It'll honestly don't know.
They describe the evo 4g lte as though it were a "god", when in reality it just is a little faster than the 3d and has a slightly bigger screen.
I consider it a waste of money.

You will be happy - until a newer, shinier, more powerful toy comes along. That's the nature of the beast. Then there will be the "why didn't I wait" threads popping up on the LTE site.
I'm probably going to wait until htc's next sprint flagship.
We already all know what qualcomm has in store, so I already know why I'm going to wait.
Also, I use my 4g, and don't see lte in my town too soon
3,its really not a huge upgrade... lets be honest. Internal hardware is more of a refresh than a upgrade, and yes I know how fast the s4 is.

actually I'll be happy for another year when they come with their next offering...just like I was happy for the year I had the 3d except the development for the lte will be much better because there won't be any proprietary drivers withheld that keeps roms from being complete ala cm9 a year later and still no camera. Cm9 is further along on the lte and its only been out a few weeks.

No idea, I was really looking forward to it and excited for it till I went to a sprint store and tried it out for myself. I swear it felt cheap.. like If I could just crush it with my bare hands. had it side by side Nexus and felt as if the Nexus had a better screen quality than it. The only thing I liked was how they integrated the Music apps into one.

OK u may not want the phone but come on....be honest. Even the biggest fanboy can at least be honest. If u believe anything you just posted then I don't know what u r smoking. Nexus better screen? Felt cheap? Lol
There is absolutely no comparison. Don't have to get the phone to at least be honest about it.

LOL, now that's funny. The E4GT & EVO LTE have better quality screens.
An unnecessary bash.
But anyway, the the development for the EVO 3D is great. I don't see why people get up in arms about it, Hell you have ICS roms out now.
Few doesn't = poor development, you still have quality developers here.

Well if I go to the 3D pictures and video directory and find that all of my pictures and video only show in 2D on the Lte then I would be sorry...

Farewell fellow 4g lte users. 2nd phone broke...going GS3

Its been nice knowing you guys. I was very excited for this phone. I was one of the many who cursed apple for delaying my pre-order and checking these forums constantly for any rumor of the awaited release. I had to return my first one after a week due to a few issues but have been very happy with my evo since. Aside from some LTE connection issues, the power button on my phone decided to crap out. Thankfully since i am running mean rom, the camera button does wake the phone so i am able to use it for the time being. Because of the 4g lte issues and the fact that i would like to take out my battery at will, i am going to request that I get a GS3 as a replacement. Its been nice knowing you all.
good bye and have fun.
were gonna miss you
you contributed sooo much
Have a good time.

Fine go ahead and leave we don't want you here *runs away in tears*
Really though my sister has the gs3 and while I don't like all that plastic its a solid phone. Think you'll be happy with it
When i seen my 64 year old mother with the GS3 i just had to rule it out as ever being an option.
