Either you are the most unlukiest guy around or you have screwed something up!
Are you rooted? Unlocked bootloader? Have you removed or frozen an app?

i'v done 4 things :
1) update the phone
2) rooted the phone
3) kick the **** of the SprintOmaDm service with Titanium Backup.
4) change in the Build.Prop :
smoother scrolling
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
Well id say number 3 is your problem.
We told you how to disable sprint activation in the Disable Sprint Activation The Easy Way thread!
The way you've done it through Titanium may be the cause of your lock screen issues, sure I've read in another thread of this issue. Try searching, you will be surprised

Unsure regarding the screen as I play games on the Photon without any issues
If you regret it that much then consider getting rid of it and get something else.
Me personally love this phone and when I tell you i've had around 7 different handsets this year alone, this is the only one I want to keep. I've had the SGSII, HTC Sensation, LG 2X, Desire HD, Atrix etc, etc but this phone is stunning right out the box, speedy, not too much **** on it, has so much potential its unreal.
The days of the Photon are just beginning.

Well the LG 2X has half the available RAM as the Photon, 8GB of storage compared to the Photon.
The SGSII is a great device, very fast, **** loads of ROM's but far too thin for my liking, feels very cheap in the hand, when you go to pick it up off a flat surface I've forgotten how many times I dropped it.
But you need to be happy and the Photon ticks everything for me

Bloody hell man its a frigging phone, use it as one or get a cheap nasty Nokia
Also you keep opening threads on this that and the other and then in your last post here you say you still have the sprint film on your screen and wonder if it is affecting your screen, can you actually see anything through the text on the film?
Man I feel whatever device you get we will be seeing more of you in different XDA forums, opening pointless threads!

Wow, is this a fun, beautiful phone.
Curious to who I know around here. Any x2/bionic peeps around? Curious to all of your thoughts on this phone and if any of you here are cheesecaking.
I must admit, I think I like this better than the Nex. Additionally, Moto made some very nice improvements to their interface (*blur*) on a lot of different levels.
Anyways, just saying hello to all of you. Let's keep this forum alive.
Cheers.

Hey 'Wolfe. Glad to see you here. I made the jump from the x2 (wife needed a working phone & I needed a new toy) the day this came out. So far, it's been a great experience & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Glad you're on board.

I don't use hotspots so I haven't experienced this, but I do know I don't lose apps after a reboot
So far mobile connection seems far superior, as does performance. Also, huge fan of the screen, although I do get kind of a greenish tint at times where I feel it should be white - market hang screen for example.

It is great mobile. Am coming from nexus s after i broker the glass :'(.. So o designed to take this mobile over samsung s2
I really like it except the the larg body
BUT i noticed the wifi range is weak!! And there is no video calls option

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand the trade-off bit...apologies...but when I saw it once, I was looking for a faaaaar brighter screen, considering the fact that its a sAMOLED...but I found it a little dark...but was told in some forum its because of some ambient setting...will make sure to check it next time properly...
But am surely buying it for sure...in a while... Congrats on your phone BTW.

Hope to see you here soon, this really has been an impressive improvement on Motorola's part. As far as the screen goes there's an additional option to allow the os to manage auto brightness to conserve battery. Net effect: it's about 25% dimmer at times than just "normal" auto brightness.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I believe the dimmer look is attributed to the AMOLED screen. What I was saying as far as a "trade-off" is that I'll take a slightly dimmer screen to get a less pentile effect. This screen looks much nicer than the Bionic in my opinion...
I just "upgraded " from the nexus to the razr and I am absolutely loving it. The nexus' radio was awful. This phone is just so much more solid overall.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Got this phone a week back! Totally loving it. My old Xperia X8 was almost driving me nuts! Already rooted and safestrapped!
So how's your RAZR experience?
I'm do for a upgrade. I have a Droid incredible now but i have been looking at the razr and the nexus. Only thing that concerns me is the internal battery for the razr. I love everything about the razr better than the prime but the internal battery. Of something goes wrong during rooting or flashing roms and the razr freezes how do u go about getting it to unfreeze if you can't pull the battery. Thanks. maybe question will help me make up my mind.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
If anything drastic happens, then you can remove the battery.. it is not a BIG activity.. the Kevlar back is held by 2 clips at the bottom and some sticky "something" at the top. Just lift from the bottom and you can open the back by fingernails itself..... inside it is the same battery....
But 99.9% of the times you would not be required to open it...(I opened due to my curiosity)...The phone doesn't freezes...it simply restarts ....

How are you liking the razr. And thanks for the quick reply.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
You can't go wrong, I love my Razr and have had zero issues with it so far. I like the external SD slot,USB mass storage,build quality is superior,love how thin and light it is , and it's Android 4.0 upgradeable(should be coming sometime in Q1 of 2012).
It's a great device.
it is quite brilliant....head-turner most of the times....
Pros:
1. Looks
2. More Looks
3. Build quality(far far superior than any Android till date....)
4. Music quality, again top notch, but to discover them truly, need to get some really good pair....not that good with the stock headphones.... I am using it with AudioTechnica ANC-23
5. Extremism in terms of eye candy....no animation is gaudy enough and no transition can be more superfluous...
Cons:
1. Partially Android Gingerbread is letting it down. Dual core support is not really going though, but with ICS coming next year it can be fixed.
2. Random reboot problem. The phone simply reboots itself, whenever it thinks that you have done something awful, or it has done something wrong.... NOTE: It never freezes, it just reboots.... but got a new update this evening, did not have a reboot till now.....hopefully it is fixed...

That's good. Is yours rooted. Cause I will be definitely be rooting it if I get one. And I was comparing it to the nexus. And I see the nexus looses alot of signal. And personally I think the razr looks way better then the nexus. But the nexus will have a lil more development I suppose.

Never owned a Motorola, always HTC and the Nexus brand. The lack of sd card and the overall build quality of the recent Nexus just turns me off. The Razr is just one knock out piece of hardware and the specs aren't too shabby either. I thnk the Razr wth ICS is going to give it wings. I am picking up a Razr at full price. Coming from the rooted Thunderbolt will be a big change. The Dev support for the Thunderbolt has been unbelievable, will still keep my Thunderbolt but I want the Razr and all the accessories to go with it. The accessories are just fantastic. Calling Verizon and putting in my order.
Agree. I am still on the Droid incredible and i love it still. I also have never used a Motorola phone. So let me knw how u like it. :-D

C`mon man...we`re not interested in selling or throwing your phone to garbage!
we all know about the xperia s problems.we do not need you to remind us of them.
unless u have to say something usefull( e.g how to get rid of those annoyng bugs from ics or how to repair the yellow tint...or how to improve the battery life) please leave us and buy a ugly Samsung...or HTC or whatever you like! you will find that all the phones have their problems
at least....xperia s with all his problems is a f#^#n` sexy phone...the rest are just...phones
fake HD Pentile display vs Sony's bravia engine HD display.
No thanks.
If not because of the yellow tint issue that was killing me, i would keep it until the 2013 line realeased.
Xperia S is hell a of a sexy phone.
100% agree but cause I need a phone that works and could not face another 5weeks with out it been repaired had no choice. Now I am no fan of Sammy far from it but when I will have an average of 40 calls a day on my mobile (busy upto 65) needed something that would work.
I still much prefer the xperia S but how it looks is not that important or how it feels if that was the case might have chosen the lumia.
Now I have no preconceptions that Sammy make a better phone this actually feels so plasticly you would not believe but when it comes to making and receiving a call its working. I do not have to worry now (at the moment) about people complaining they can't here me with all the beeps cause proximity is bust, and nore do I have to strain cause yellow tint was getting worse and worse, or the endless FC just using the contacts looking up a number (after re flashing bringing back to stock etc.)
Yes my robot who built my xperia was on the oil too much but when they could not issue a replacement why should I stay.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I never had any problems on the S with force closes and such (system apps anyways). I would much rather have a yellow screen (that can be repaired) than a blue screened plastic fantastic device to be honest. You can't fix the cheap body and a blue screen.
Everyone has their opinions and such so it doesn't matter. I find this thread in general a bit unnecessary but whatev

Hi has anyone had a problem with the screen on there RAZR where in a dark black room and you watch a video for example and you get to a black screen there are black spots all over the display and screen leakage on top of where the capacitive buttons are.
I have had two razrs because of this in a week I can't stand it and I just called verizon today and they said that there is nothing wrong with the phone like they don't believe me but I don't think they went into a dark room to really test this issue.
Just want to see if anybody has had this issue and what can be done to possibly show verizon proof that I am not lying about the screen on the phones they have given me.
Thanks

To me it is unacceptable I got a new phone worth a defect would you buy a laptop with screen issues I wouldn't so this isn't good to me at all.
So I went into Verizon told them about my issue talked to someone on the phone found out I was in my 14 days still and Gabe it back can't have this problem but one good thing came from it I now game a RAZR M and it is beautiful without the screen issue also thanks for everybody helping and enjoy your RAZR it is a good phone but not for me with the screen issue on two different new phones.
By the easy RAZR M is a great step up in my opinion same size screen better quality screen though (even though technically it is the same) and fast.

You will probably have the same.issues with the RAZR M. It's not a defect per say, it's just something that happens with this type of screen, which the RAZR M also uses.

I don't think the M or the HD's will have this issue. They are using different screens.
I really am surprised Motorola released the RAZR with this issue.
