Why Photon Is Not popular??? - Motorola Photon 4G

As we all know that photon is the one of best device like other devices the photon is not popular. i can not understand it is any one know the reason???

Just to enjoy it,haha

its all about marketing yeah? when did you ever see an ad about the photon? compared to the frequency of the Iphones, Droids etc, it is practically non-existent.

The locked bootloader or unlocked with borked 4g might have something to do with it....

That probably hurts our developer support, but it doesn't really explain why so few non-developers buy it. I think it's marketing. Sprint mostly pushes the EVO line, and Motorola mostly advertises their Verizon phones. I'm very happy with this phone, and talking with people with other phones, it seems to be an excellent choice right now. But no one has heard of it.

here is the ICS rom made for Old nexus S ... then y not for the photon which have better hardware than old nexus .......

I think it is because it's ugly
The flattened corners on this phone are a real turn off for MANY people.
I agree is is a great phone. But development is just about dead :-(

oh hell, you are still here? i dont think ive seen a post by you that wasnt whining about this phone.

I couldn't disagree with you more. that was one of the things I like about this phone. the look takes it away from the usual design. but I agree, it's all about marketing. I didn't even know this phone exsisted until I got to the store. I had an epic 4g before and was tired of the galaxy S line. so I chose the photon over the epic 4g touch and Have never regretted it.

+1 brotha!

Development is far from dead. Myself along with a handful of people are learning. Nothing happens over night. Everything takes time. Rather then complain maybe we should focus on what this site is about. IMHO this site is about development and learning how to do it. Myself is starting with theming then move into ROM development. Honestly I am happy with the ROMS we have. Yes we are missing cm and miui but like I said things take time. So like it was said in a thread I started about getting into theming, if you don't see it make it.

Lost dev support...

seems to be the biggest thing people use when justifying turning in their phones if it isn't S-off by the thirty days. Please let's not discuss that part here there are like 3 threads dedicated to this already. My question is have any developers come out and said this or are people just talking out of their anuses? I would love any developer to chime in.

It's the American fashion to want it now now now... But get real. Everyone knew HTC wasn't unlocking it before release and now you expect a billion dollar corporation to drop everything for a small community of users who actually know what a s-off is and want it...and in 30 days or less... I mean its just not gonna happen even if all 15-30 people crying about it return the phone... HTC don't give a flying fack

This will be a better question to pose 30 days from now... right now we are still in the 30-day window for launch-day purchasers. There is still a frantic effort to unlock this beast and HTC is dealing with the mass of bureaucracy that large companies with partnerships and contracts must deal with.
Obviously the sooner the unlock the better...but the 30-day window is a freebie.

Don't get me wrong had the first evo and the shift and personally I think Samsung makes better hardware. Is that a problem for me to say I rather have the sgs2 and its supposed to be out at the end of the month for what my phone guy told me that works a corporate so idk rumor whatever but so mean for an opinion and yes I guess I will just have to man up till then or get another phone so yea

I cant remember if its in the Q&A or General, but someone asked a similar question directly to the devs, and if theyll actually get it perm rooted/s-off.
and i think 3 or more replied with a positive answer, of unlocking this machine

Did everyone move to another phone?

The last few days have been very slow in this forum. I hope people are just satisfied with the phone and are not posting. I guess I'm just spoiled by the Evo 4g forum where you always had something new to read.
Starting to worry.

For me - I love the phone. Only thing I'd change would be placement of the USB port relative to the kickstand.
I've rooted it to remove bloatware, but don't know that there's anything that I want it do to that requires a custom ROM. Customizations, yes - but launchers, widgets and apps can do what I want.
I was in the same place with my EVO 3D. Stock was fine.
ROMs were necessary in the WinMo days (and perhaps the early Android days, though I missed those). I spent a LOT of time cooking kitchens for my WinMo phones.
There will always be people who like to cook ROMs as a hobby, but I knew that the Moto Photon would NOT be one of the target platform for them - will be mostly HTC phones, I imagine.
Well unlike my evo shift I'm happy with the phone the way it is. The evo shift was boring unless rooted and running a custom rom.
I love this phone and i'm satisfied with just root. Best phone I've ever owned. It just seems like there were a lot more people in this forum last month.

It was brand new then
The inferior Samsung is the new shiny.
I also spent more time here and AC a month ago, but really don't have much more to say, or problems that need solved. I'm spending my time now customizing it and try out new apps.
Enjoy it!
Love this phone but its too complicated to unlock boot loader and such so people lost interest in the forums, not the phone in my opinion. I came from the Nexus S 4G and don't see a reason to lose 4g for a rom its great as it is running launcher pro. Just my 2 cents.

Photon was a great phone, its great with root alone. I now got the sgs2 and gave the MoPho to my gf. She loves it coming from an HTC Aria. I was too nervous to unlock the bootloader, I tried but it looked too risky. I was pretty much satisfied with stock and my own build prop tweaks, there was no need to unlock. I do recommend to phone to people who aren't as tech savvy for just being a good dependable fast phone.
The sgs2 is no way inferior to the photon, every day use they run about the same, the photon does have better battery life and video recording, the sgs2 has a bigger screen and an unlocked bootloader.

CPU is only one component in comparing phones, and IMHO not in the top 3 criteria. Screen, battery, radio signal, construction quality, vendor support all more important than minor (in the real world) CPU differences.
I won't get into any more bashing - will just say glad you like your phone; enjoy it!
I think my Photon is the best Android phone i've ever owned and I've had a few over the past couple of months, including the SGSII. The SGSII is a great phone but just too thin for me, so when on a flat surface my manley fingers couldn't quite grasp it right and i ended up dropping it. The Photon just feels perfect, build quality is great, just ticks all the boxes for me and I'm gonna stick with it for a while

I know it may seem to be kinda hard, but unlocking the bootloader is actually fairly easy if you follow the steps on breifmobile. I have a link I think if someone is looking to unlock the bootloader.

Phone is great out of the box, not much to complain about on forums nor are people in a rush to slap a ROM on it like they would need to so their Samsung works correctly.
I came from the tmobile vibrant. At one point I had a choice of 65 custom roms and 11 kernels. I wanted unlimited data and more minutes and sprint was the only choice. I got the epic but took it back the day this phone dropped on the market. I like htc but 3d had some drawbacks. Mainly signal quality. I would like more roms, but mainly overclock kernels. I am learning to make my own themes and that will probably satisfy me. I hope development picks up, but if it doesn't I won't be upset. This is a wonderful phone and works right out of the box. I don't get 4g on my end of town and probably never will, and I could really care less.
It's good to see people are still here and they are satisfied with their phones. This is probably the best phone Sprint has to offer right now. It sucks that it was released sandwiched between the 3vo and sgsII.

Be patient. It's not easy to out-smart HTC. We can get temp root. That's easy! But the thing keeps rooting itself when we reboot. It's not permaroot but it's a start. Just coming from a Vibrant, I'm glad that I made the switch to HTC! Even without root this phone is much better to use in my opinion.
It took over two months to get S-Off for the Sensation.

As others have said, be patient.
Recently, HTC has made their devices hard nuts to crack, but every one of them has been cracked.
I had a Vibrant and seriously considered getting the SGS2, even after I swore I would never buy another Samsung phone, because of the GPS and update debacles. I went into the T-Mobile store to play with both, first I grabbed the SGS2 and played with it for a while. The first thing that I thought was, "Ok, this is a bigger, faster Vibrant. I don't really want another Vibrant".
Then I picked up the Amaze, and the first thing I thought was, "Holy crap! This thing is beautiful!". After going back and forth between the 2 for about 10 minutes, it was clear to me, that the Amaze was just a higher quality device. It is going on a week of me having it and I have absolutely no regrets.
Sure I'm disappointed that wifi calling isn't supported yet, and that they are starting to play games with wireless tether, but those things are software, which means they can be changed/fixed. What cannot be changed is hardware. The aluminum case of the Amaze feels and looks wonderful. I know there are a lot people gripping about aspects of the screen, but I think it is excellent. Anyone that is surprised that the AMOLED display is a little better than the SLCD, hasn't been paying attention over the last year or so. Just because it's a little better, doesn't mean the SLCD is bad. Because it is bigger than the Amaze screen but has the same resolution, the pros and cons of it pretty much cancel each other out, in my opinion.
Root and S-OFF will come.

Feels Good, Looks Good, Great screen and Fast, no lag
I will root and S-Off simply to remove bloat and be able to install some root apps. This is one Fast, Smooth device.
S-Off comes when it comes, the bloat has no effect, just have no use for all that stuff, and want the icons outta here

qHD = resolution (960x540)

What worries me is the development section looks quite scarce compared to the Evo 3D or even the sgs2. It's hard to have faith in the developers when there are so very few that have come out and said they have an Amaze.

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.

*rant*Evo lte why don't you have

After only owning this phone I hated it, I'm on it too much .I use over 1.3gb on 3g and I cant stop looking at YouTube videos, want to know more and more about it by Googling ... For real tho I'm happy with this phone and is the best decision I made since the OG evo... Gs3 is about to come out and even tho I don't have it I don't feel like I need too , a lot people is trying to return their phone cause another is coming out... I been there before and sometimes we don't think it thru. I'm happy with my phone ans some of us don't realize how great it is .no phone is perfect.
Watch this evo owners

I'm trying to see how many people can actually realize we have an a amazing phone and deceploment is looking *slow*
But what they don't realize is that no phone is perfect nerve will, if you feel like the phone is not good enough then why get it in the first place , we all have 2 weeks to try it out and not fill up the xda board with complaints and complaints , I believe thus is a keeper for me

I'm going to have to agree with the OP. I have the same problem. I can't put the thing down. The screen is very nice and vibrant. I even put Fast Five on it the other day and have watched it about 3 times with the beautiful 720p screen and Beats audio using my Skullcandy 50/50s. There are people out there who are truly disappointed in the phone, and that can be their opinion. This should be the EVO 4G LTE lover's thread.
I too can't put the thing down. Screen is beautiful.
ok I agree totally. I mean I was glued to my old Epic but the screen on this thing is so sharp I actually started to read books on it.
my buddy is waiting for the gs3 but I think the screen on this phone is the top selling point.
I'm typing this while watching the video from Conan. Doesn't get much better for me. I agree 100%. We always want more, so the issue is accepting what we have and not getting upset at what we don't. I'm making a stand against my ego and accepting this device as what I need and adjusting to it. This thing is awesome as is and any shortcomings are way better than the razor I had just a few years ago. And the support from this community will only unlock more of its potential for us.

I absolutely love this phone and can't put it down.... The only thing that would make me happier is if the new Sync Manager actually worked.

I agree with the rest of you, this phone is hard to put down, coming from an OG Evo to Evo3D to Photon I finally feel like I have a phone that meets my needs since the OG Evo. I would like to see how much data I have used after 30 days.

Something I want to add:
I am extremely anal about dead pixels. Not because I expect a display to be 'perfect' but because of my personal ocd issues. They bug the hell out of me. I had one on my Evo3D and it annoyed me EVERY time I turned it on.
On this phone I have a dead on at the top and then two stuck ones. I don't notice them. Unless I get half an inch away from the screen I don't even know they're there. That's how awesome the screen is. You simply can't tell pixels apart from your normal viewing distance. Hell I could probably have more dead pixels and not know it. You even might. The thing is, the only way you'll know is if you get extremely upclose, turn the brightness all the way up and search pixel by pixel.
That's the only "con" I have against this device and as you can see it isn't even a con. Hands down the best piece of hardware I've ever owned.

Yes serious. Radio in this is a joke. My og epic's data is way faster on 3g in the same areas as where I'm using this and sense really sucks. Non removable battery, you have to download programs just to access the internal storage what a joke. If your not tech savvy then yeah this phone is for you but a die hard Samsung is the only the way.
