Do you actually use it as a phone or just as a multi media device?
I had two out of two with big problems and had to go back to my ancient BB and a friend in NH is now on his third and that one has now exhibited the issues on day 2.
I have hearing issues and even with hearing aids my hearing sucks.....so I would love to find that there is a Photon somewhere that works right because I found the earpiece and rear speaker to be wonderful for my hearing issues.
Seriously...has anyone not had the phone freeze up and shut off, lock up when attempting to answer a call, have calls not come through and simply go to voice mail and not had the silent call issues???
I really need it to be able to be used for voice communications for my personal and professional buisnesses.
Maybe I just need to get one some place other than Best Buy?
Yes, I have never had a problem with calls. I have never had freeze ups when answering a call. I didn't have it very long before putting mr3 on it. But the only freeze ups I've had, were when I was plugged in with Wifi on, and tried to turn on usb mode.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
I use my phone for multiple operations and phone calls have never glitched out on me either. Everything seems to be working properly and I use it all day every day.
Also there is supposed to be an ota update very soon addressing these problems.
Loving this Mopho!
I use ghe MoPho for phone calls as well as Internet browsing. I have not had any problems with phone calls, although I have had some problems connecting to 4G sometimes.
So, yes, as a phone it works perfectly for me.

I also use my phone for everything and haven't had any issue! for me this phone is by far the best i have used both speed and battery life! there are tickets open with sprint and the Motorola and there addressing the issue. so your not alone!
I have to reboot my phone every morning in order to not have the silent call issue. I just flashed the mr3, hopefully it fixes it.
i had a lot of issues with the "silent" calls at first but they seem less frequent now. I look forward to a full fix
Morning kcsheets. Nice to see you here, anyways, I too also use my device for calls (I have an army of kids and a wife that call me often), Sprint is aware of the issue, and no telling when, but it is software related that would need a patch.
Just waiting for that now.
I use my device for everything as I have a demanding job as a technician, but I currently haven't had this issue at all.
I've also never had any problems with the phone freezing or whatever on calls. So far the only time it has froze up on me was yesterday, the phone crashed and rebooted.
I have never had any issues like these. Works perfect for me. Best phone that actually has awesome call quality and awesome speaker quality of any Sprint smartphone. I hate to hear some people are having issues like the OP stated. Sort of hard to believe actually because I've had 0 issues since I've had mine.
I've had one reboot, that's it. No other issues with 2 different Photons. I returned my first one (power button was offset and jiggly, I'm rather picky)...the 2nd Photon is solid in every way. Got both from Sprint.

I haven't had any silent call issues, phone freezes, or random shut offs. My MoPho works great and this is the best phone I've had so far!!
No phone problems here.....actually no problems thus far

I'm coming from a Blackberry curve (an old one) and the MoPho phone itself is waaaaay better as a phone. The speaker is much clearer and people on the other end say they hear me better.
However, I switched to Sprint from Verizon and the reception is not as good so there's that. Not the phone's fault though.
No problems with calls - yet, but I've had the phone for less than a week and not made many calls. I have had to reboot after installing some apps but I guess that's to be expected.

Mine came from a Sprint store and yes, I've had all but the phone shut off happen to me. I've gotten into the habit of powering completely down once a day to clear out the bugs.
Overall, the phone is exceptional so this quirk/glitch isn't compelling for me to return the phone and hopefully a fix is eminent.
I have had calls that when answered I could not hear the person on the other line, nor could I make calls and hear anything even when it showed a connection. I had to reboot to clear this issue.
So I went into my local Sprint store today and I asked if Sprint was aware of certain issues with the Photon. I know most of the techs there and they checked their internal report list. From what I read on their computer there are known issues that are currently being resolved by Motorola and Sprint. They expect to have an update to correct several issues, the major issue being the silent phone call bug. I asked when the update would be released and they said it was within the month.
At least they are working on issues!
hello, I am running the current public release at the time of this post(v1.1). I have a Jabra SP700 bluetooth FM speaker for my car. I am uncertain if this is a fault of the rom or the hardware of my bluetooth speaker. I am leaning more towards the bluetooth but I figured I would ask the community.
I play music through this to my car stereo. Frequently the bluetooth drops the audio connection at random times. The phone and speaker say the X2 is connected, but the audio ceases. Within a minute the sound will play through the phone speaker not the bluetooth. Then the bluetooth will say "disconnected" and begin searching to reconnect. My X2 will state the bluetooth is still connected. In order for me to get the phone connected, I need to power off the bluetooth then disable and reenable bluetooth on the X2.
I believe this has happened with previous versions, ive been using eclipse since it started. Although I cannot remember if it works correctly with the bluetooth bone stock.
I am leaning towards the bluetooth since the bluetooth is about 2 years old now...but I was wondering if anybody used a similar bluetooth piece and experienced similar issues. Thanks!!
Ok guys. Let's try this thread over.
Anyone want to help this gentleman? We're not going to argue or derail. If you can't help this guy, don't respond.
OP, search while you wait for an answer.
There is a known issue with the bluetooth function on 1.1
I had heard people saying that with the newest ((1.2rc3)) that the issue had been fixed.
I don't use bluetooth do I cannot confirm but that might be the issue
I didn't think that older BTdevices would become "obsolete" . I thought any newer phones that support bluetooth would encompass all older BTdevices not exclude them. I can see an older phone not connecting to newer bluetooth but not older bluetooth not connect to newer phone.
Nitro tweeted that the new eclipse final should be out tomorrow. Hr has known about the bluetooth bug for a while so I am sure it was a priority fix.
It is possible tho that there is something faulty with your bluetooth device. Have you tried contacting the manufacturers of it to see if that is a known problem with that device? They may be able to help troubleshoot it also.
Thanks ash. As usual you are helpful and nice the speaker is way out of warranty. Ive owned it for 2 years. The battery os startong to go too. I never doubted the compatibility of the speaker...just the performance. It has acted odd in the past. I did not notice an issue initially with the X2. Since it started acting up i was pretty sure it was the bluetooth just showing its age and starting to malfunction. Well at least i do not have to buy anothee speaker just yet

Even if it is out pf warranty they may be the type of company who is willing to repair or help with problems just to keep your loyalty to their products. Who knows you may be able to talk them into a rebate on new product or a coupon or something . Might be worth a shot. Just be site you tell them you promote the product to people you know and in forums you post in. I have been looking for either a wired or bluetooth speaker for my x2 and not sure what to go with. . I saw one in the VZW store I
that looked nice but $199 is a bit steep for a speaker for me lol
And it seems like any other speaker I find (wired or bluetooth) is labeled do I ipod /iphone etc... im thinking the wired would work okay((headphones jack type)) but am not willing to shell out the 50$ that ill only get back in store credit for opened electronic in a store I barely shop at lol. Im sure ill find something sometime and ur post introduced me to a different one to look into. Curious if new eclipse final will fix your problems. Good luck.
Its odd that it will work for a while and then cut off. Wonder if it may be the "receiver " in the device not working correctly. Maybe something wiggled loose. Might be worth taking it apart((if possible) and checking where things connect to each other it giving it a wipe down and clean it up. Maybe dirt is interfering with something inside due to its age.
Or IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU USED IT TO MUCH FOR WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR AND IT IS DEAD NOW ...lol j/k...im sure something can be done to fix it if it isn't eclipse that is causing the problem. ..its just a matter of is it worth the time to fix or buy a new one..
It is all my fault!!!! Haha. Well that is an idea....maybe i will try. If i can make a suggestion, the droid roadster is pretty cool. Works well and is user friendly! I tested it for a while and liked it.

I have a bluetooth earpiece that I use with my old Razr and it works fine with my DX2 so I don't think age has much to do with compatibility. Wear and tear probably plays more of a factor.
I do pair my DX2 with my Touchpad (WebOS, not when booted in CM7) and I can make calls great on the TP but because the default bluetooth.dun is missing from Eclipse I can send sms with my TP. Not an issue but something to consider if you are shopping and comparing specs to see if you nifty new devices will work with your phone. The devs pull out the blur and bloat because that is what we want but it can change how devices talk to each other.
I have a set of moto rokr hd headphones that I use all the time and I have had this exact same issue with eclipse. The phone still says it has a connection but no audio is playing through my headphones. The only way to correct the issue is to turn off the headphones and turn off bluetooth on the phone and restart them both. It will happen completely at random times. Sometimes I will use them for a couple hours before it hours, but sometimes only 15 min. Its def eclipse, I don't think moto headphones have a compatability issue with a moto phone
I haven't seen anyone post this yet, and I'm hoping I won't draw the usual search you fool comments. I am trying to connect to an IOGEAR GBHFK231 handsfree car device which I know usues a passcode to connect. It pairs without prompting me for the passcode, and when it tries to connect i get a message bluetooth device has disconnected, and the BT no longer shows up in the list.
I am currently using Scotts Cleanrom 1.6.5 without any mods installed, but I have had this problem with stock before unlocking, Nils ICS, Scott's Cleanrom ICS, and a few others ICS and GB.
I have also contacted IOGEAR who says they have not received any reports of issues, and will get back with me if they get any information. I'm holding my breath. Notice the blue color.
Any ideas from this renowned collection of geniuses?
This is a cheapo device by the way, and relaceing it isn't a problem. Just looking for answers.
Thanks,
Matt
Wow no responses yet.. I had it connect one time and was able to make a call using voice dial, but after it was disconnected it went back to paired but not connected, then disappeared when attempting to connect. I'm planning to upgrad my car stereo with a bluetooth calling built in model. Am I likely to have similar problems?
Thanks again.
Am I the only one to experience this problem? anyone using a Bluetooth hands free car device and can verify it working? I'm a little hesitant to buy another and have the same problem.

No comments about searching. See? :-D
You might try Amazon reviews to see if there are any reasonable complaints there.
Not sure where Berlin is but, if you live in the south, the bluetooth device itself may overheat on your dash, and that may cause the issue you describe.
Also, not familiar with BT pairing for your device, but you should be prompted for a pin / code. Make sure you're in BT wireless settings on your Rezound when you are trying to pair. It might be good to "forget" your BT device and start with a fresh pairing attempt.

If you've had the device previously paired to the phone, the phone I'd has changed according to the device. Clear your pair list and re-pair or pair, delete the pair, re-pair.

BT is flaky at best right now with the ICS rom. Mine works most of the time when it wants to. Occasionally I will have to reboot my phone to get it work right.
I have the turtle beach px500 headphones and my phone hooks up to them over Bluetooth just fine. Can make calls, listen to music.

htc uses its own BT stack. Unfortunately, BT still has too many variables which is why I have never bought the BT peripheral for my pioneer system. Not worth 150 bucks to have it not pair with a phone down the line.
Thanks for all the replies. I've been through stack problems in the past with some car audio bt devices never won one yet. This issue started before I ever unlocked my phone, and I have used both GB and ICS roms with no luck so I'm going to rule that out for now. I've started getting error messages that say I am using the wrong pin to pair, but have never been given the box to enter a pin. So far as heat etc this was working fine on my Dinc, and hasn't been in the car since I switched to the Rezound. I have also connected it to other phones while trying to fix it without a problem. Does anyone have a method to force the box to open to enter the pin, or is there possible a security setting that I need to remove?
Well I figure it out. I changed the bt device to a setting to use 2 phones, then reset it to factory default and it's working now. I don't know why the other resets didn't do the same thing, but it's working.
Alright, so I recently decided to upgrade my AT&T HTC ONE X+'s firmware to the latest 1.19.502.1 update. Ever since I got this phone, I've never really been 100% happy with it, so as soon as I saw an official update being rolled out I jumped at the chance! I re-flashed the original recovery, re-locked the bootloader and ran the HTC RUU pc executable, effectively putting my phone in a 100% stock state and fully updated.
So far I can say that the phone experiences less general app crashes than before. The Bluetooth Call audio quality issue is 100% fixed. It would also seem like the Google contacts syncing issue is gone too. AT&T Address Book app now works (I don't like it, I don't actively use it, but at least now it's a functioning app). And Power management & Battery life seemed to have improved ever so slightly.
On the other hand, the phone does seem a bit slower (apps take longer to load, some phone functions take a little bit longer to react, stuff like that). The distorted streaming via Bluetooth (A2DP) bug (not the same issue as the call audio) is still un-addressed. I've always experienced random Bluetooth connection interruptions, and with the update this hasn't changed. Another thing I was hopeful they would fix with the update and they didn't is the Automatic Time Zone option in the Date & Time settings menu (It will often not recognize my time zone - GMT -4:00 - forcing me to set it manually... no big deal, but still a bug none the less). There were no GUI/UI changes or improvements whatsoever. Also, I like to use Nova Launcher Prime, and for whatever reason I've found myself pressing the "back" button to exit some apps and it would return me to the Sense home instead of the Nova Launcher home (which is set as my default launcher). That last one is no big deal, but thought I should mention it just in case.
What about you guys? What has been your experience with it? Did you update OTA or through the RUU? Share your experiences here!
the only thing i needed from the update was fixing BT A2DP audio. Like you said, it is still broken. Highly disappointed. Hopefully a ROM will fix it soon.
The update broke a bunch of apps for me. Chrome, Google Search, and Google Drive no longer work, they crash on startup.
Other people have similar complaints, here: forums.att.com/t5/Android-Discussion-and-Support/HTC-One-X-update/td-p/3469653
This is a stock phone. So far the phone is pretty unusable without those apps.
Really annoying. AT&T hasn't said anything about it yet. Maybe I should contact HTC directly?

You can try to contact HTC directly, but from what I've read around in the forums, they aren't much help. Allow me to suggest you try running the RUU on your phone (you can download it from http://www.htc.com/us/support/news.aspx?p_id=529&p_name=htc-one-x-plus-att ). It'll fully wipe it, so make a backup of all your important stuff (contacts if they aren't cloud synced, pictures, Angry Birds scores, etc) and then run the RUU. After the initial setup, re-download/install all your main apps and see how that goes. If you do get to do this, please post here if there was a difference in your phone's behavior. (Hope that helps)
I really honestly haven't had any issues with my phone since the OTA update... I still lag on playing a simple 2D game Drag Racing" but runs butter smooth when playing 3D games.. WTH?.. Really annoying to me... but then again, it lags even when I'm using my Nexus 7, yet runs lag-free and smooth on my Pantech Burst? Explain that one.. lol..
But all in all I've noticed a lot of small enhancements with the update. Now if they can just fix the game play of Drag Racing app.. lol..
I haven't noticed anything significant either way. If I didn't do the update myself, I don't think I would know there had been one. I do have to say that I never experienced problems playing music over BT, and I use it in my car, at home, and with BT earbuds. Maybe it's because I'm using PowerAmp.

The problem is still there with poweramp. It is a bitpool setting for connection between the phone and BT speaker devices. Some people just don't hear it even though it is there. I have a few friends who are now on JB thanks to recent updates and they have the same issues but they don't seem to hear it. I can hear it plainly though. One of them I could get to hear it but he doesn't care and thinks it sounds good enough for him.

Disappointing feedback. I work from home and have a Plantronics Savi 700 series headset. My HOX+ is connected to the Savi via Bluetooth, and if I make/receive a call on my HOX+ the call skips/distorts for the first 5 seconds or so before stabilising. Is that a known issue?
EDIT: to clarify, I am not using the headset when making/receiving the call in my example.. it's merely just connected via Bluetooth at the time I use my cell phone.

That hasn't been my experience receiving calls (although making them, the first ring does sound louder and coarser than the rest) but there have been some posts here on the forum from people describing a similar issue (since way before the update). Apparently it's either an inconsistent issue, a bug that only affected a few handsets, or an accessory hardware specific issue (eg. compatibility issue with specific bluetooth devices).

When u say BT audio A2DP that to ke means audio controls over BT. Well this has always worked from the start for me on stock and now custom roms. Now if I use a "wired" headset then no, audio controls do not work. All I can do is deal with phone calls and play/pause music. Cannot turn volume up or down or change tracks while using a wired headset. This from my understanding is a "hardware" issue. Now as far as actual BT is concerned, every aspect has worked perfect for me since Steve007 has fixed it for us. Also it has been claimed the new ATT update fixes this BT audio quality issue to an even higher degree than what Steve did so ultimate BT fix now on new ATT update.
So what is the BT audio problem now still not working?

What you're referring to are Media and Call control over bluetooth (First part of your statement) and Bluetooth Call Audio specifically (second part of your statement. This is what Steve007's fix addresses and the new update fixes). The bug badtlc and I mentioned is specifically when streaming Music or Video Audio through bluetooth (basically any type or audio that isn't phone call related). The audio streams just fine, but with a nasty distortion in the high frequencies. Many people just don't seem to mind the distorted sound because they just don't seem to identify it. If you compare the Bluetooth audio quality vs the direct audio quality (like with an Aux cable) you will hear a noticeable difference.
bluetooth volume level issue after upgrade
I've been having the issue of too low volume on bluetooth calls in my car since the upgrade to 1.19.502.1 I used the RUU from HTC site to do the upgrade and reinstalled everything. I have to literally turn up the bluetooth volume all the way up in my car and the people on the other end complain that I'm not loud enough. Did anyone else notice anything like this?
The first time I did the OTA on a stock, locked, not rooted HOX+ I noticed some improvments, I'm not really sure might have been placebo effect, but it did break my Wi-Fi. It would stay stuck on "Turning on Wi-Fi" the slider would be slid to the on side, but say off and be grey and unaccessable. Well I had to get it replaced under warranty, the headset speaker was dead too but that happened before the update, and it came with 1.15 and I want to know how common of a problem my experience was I know of at least a couple people who have had the same thing and I'm not sure I want to try the update again on this one and have to go through replacing it again.

The official updates from HTC never wipe anything from the device. They just UpDate the OS. There might brake an app and very rarely, but that's just when changing the SW version, due to app incompatibility with the new OS vers. That's just my experience with HTC over the last few years and the last few devices.
Best of luck.

After doing a little troubleshooting, I've narrowed it down to just the radio in my truck..every other Bluetooth radio I have works fine. I'll wait till we get a final OTA I guess..

You Know i am also wondering if the issue may be coming from what version of bluetooth those other devices use i know that my alpine in my car uses v3.0 of bluetooth and it has the issue but the i home speaker i have no skips at all.
I have the same problem with my Pioneer AVH 4500Bt in my MDX. What is funny is when my wife and I were in NYC yesterday, I had her sync her IPhone 6 to my radio and the problem continued. I played my phone with a pair of Bluetooth headphones today with no skips. This problem is weird.

Finding this post has finally convinced me to sign up and participate. Long time lurker...
I have the same problem and have been working on hunting this down.
I have a pioneer deh-80ors receiver with the vs985.
On 12b and previous bluetooth works great but everything after that introduces the problem.
The audio plays normally for 15-45 seconds regardless of the app used, then drops for a second, plays for a second in a hurried mess and repeats until the receiver is restarted or bluetooth is disabled on the phone and reconnected.
I have tried a handful of roms for lollipop without success (I do like skydragon though - nice and lean with the termal mod).
If I flash back to OEM 12b using kdz everything works great. If I load an old rom like jasmine 4 it works great. I have tried enabling and disabling all settings from the hidden menu for bt_test with no results other than it occasionally not working at all.
I have read reports of people turning off the call audio from the bluetooth pairing with mixed results, using an app from the manufacturer of the deck (which doesn't work here since pioneer connect was released like two years ago), disabling driving mode (for the S2 and S3), and all kinds of other snake oil. Based on the fact it works fine with the OEM revision up to the one before lollipop leads me to believe it's some problem with lollipop directly. I'm confident it's not the bluetooth drivers or firmware as flashing between major releases resulted in the modem being broken (intermittent LTE) but the same bluetooth issues. That is, unless the BT drivers are built into the release and are specific to each one in which case replacing the new drivers in a more modern ROM with the old ones may work.
The worst part is that most decks don't work with droid devices nearly as well as apple anyway, if we could just plug them in over usb I would be ok with that. Unfortunately the receiver doesn't even see the thing and no manner of apps or settings changes I could do ever got that working either. If anyone has gotten a usb audio connection working (preferably without USB Audio Pro App which is the one that most people like) I would love some input.
