[Q] Anybody get wierd lines on pics? - Motorola Photon 4G

I keep loosing pics on my Photon. When I takes pictures it looks fine and then maybe a day or so later I see that I have a half or part of a pic grayed out. might get yellow red or blue lines whether I used flash or not. Its getting annoying cuz I got pics of my infant son doing things and they get ruined.
Anybody else experience this? If so is there a fix.

sounds like data corruption. I'd back up everything on that card to a hard drive and try not to keep important stuff on it( read: things you don't want damaged).

[Q] Issue: light seeping through touch button

Hi guys
On my SGS2 when the touch buttons are lite part of the light seeps through the gap of the hard button. Does anyone else have this?
I can only see it when it's pretty dark but its very annoying.
I don't have this :s

Yeah, I have it too, but it's not too bad and only visible from certain angles and in a dark room.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I sometimes have itbut almost rarely, and like the other guy said only from certain angles when I'm looking for it. I put pressure on the button in that direction and it disappears usually

Ive got this very slightly on the right hand side. I also notice when im reading a web page with a black background the very bottom left has a white spot/pixel, it goes away when you start scrolling. Anyone else got the same problem?

Glad im not the only one who has this. Worth returning over?

Personally It doesn't bother me, its hard to notice and even when I can see it, its really tiny. So to me not a problem

Im guessing you have Optus stock as well?
When you look at the touch button straight on can you see the light?
Mine has the same issue but i dont care.
I can only see it when I'm using the phone when it's completely dark
My wife has a mole but shes still beautiful, can we not get a little obsessed with perfection with our phones? It is after all the slimmest, lightest, dual core power house smart phone out there....forgive its quirks?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
My phone did this at first but it went away after a couple weeks as the home button got better seated through use. Definitely not worth returning over.
same here, right hand side!
this was the reason for me to switch off the button lights in settings. looks better anyway
It has to be pretty dark...
didnt realise you could turn the light off

send it back, complain to samsung, demand they redesign the handset!
erm...
This will make it heavier and bulkier!!!
Happens to mine and there is NO PROBLEM with it. Be happy!

And more expensive. All these perfectly good handsets getting returned for new ones have to be paid for somehow.
I switched mine off looks so much better, per sonly I wish it was all black like the nexus s, i think that looks so sexy
Have it too, but dont matter !! I am a perfectionist too ( 620 euros it is for a phone !! ) but i think... i mean ... returning it for this????
If it is same as anyone elses in here its BARELY visible and you should try to find it again.. enjoy your phone. ( there are great chances of getting a same unit back, cause its a design thing i think )
Hey,
have it as well. But I don't really mind.

Memory card content erased

This happened to me last night. I lost a lot of videos, pics and music randomly. A lot of pics have an error and all the pics I lost say it is a file of 64kb. But when I try to open I get a file error. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be the phone or the memory card? I had this card on my OG EVO with no problems.
See if you can view the files on another memory card. If so, then the memory card has gone bad.
Wait the file size went down to 64kb? Yea the memory card may be corrupt.

damn man... that sucks
i was having issues with my SD in the evo4G so i started backing it up to my computer weekly just in case.
Sorry to hear about your loss of media
If the card has gone bad will reformatting it possibly fix it or do I need a new one?
Used to happen constantly on my hero! Wipe your SD card and it should be good. Back when I had my hero it would happen when my phone would die but once I wiped it a couple of times, took it out and put it into my computer and made sure everything was off and it was good. Hope it works for you.

Doesn't hurt to try that and see if it works... If the files work on other cards or even on your comp, it is safe to say it has gone bad. But like I said, it doesn't hurt to try it.

Super long data nandroid times

My system partition and data partition are roughly the same size, but when I do a nandroid backup from TWRP 1.0.3 the data partition takes upwards of 15-20 min when the system takes less than 3.
It gets to one spot where it hangs forever, and it's something about contacts. (I don't remember exactly what it says but it's something like com.providers. blah blah blah, I can get it exactly if you need me to.
My phone shows I have 668 contacts on my Google account (how the hell that is, I have no idea... I don't even know that many people!) is that just too many?
Thanks in advance.

i have about 800 contacts
and nandroiding never took this long on the evo 4G
i noticed that off the break

Are you saying you have the same problem? Or no?
From day 1, TWRP has taken me 15-20. Hasn't failed me yet, so I just lay it down and let it do it's thing. What cracks me up is after like 10 mins, it'll say "backup took 191 secs" or something way off like that. But like I said, it hasn't failed me yet.

Those contacts could be email only contacts. I had to sort my gmail acct out.

I just slimmed down my Google contacts down to 200ish and it still took 2240 seconds which is 37 minutes. I took pics that ill upload tomorrow.
Just looking at my recovery log and I've got thousands of this over and over, /data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/thu.
What's that?

I thought it took longer because it compresses it? And shouldn't this be posted in the thread for twrp?

As long as its doing its job I'm ok with it. Just make sure you have the battery to do it.

how large are you guys' nandroid files? Mine come to almost 3gbs... I dont remember them ever being this large with my OG evo.

Just gotta give this screen SOME credit!

Everyone, well most people love this phone except the screen! While its still a great screen it just has some weird things goin on with it that you notice immediately cause your not use to it, though i dont notice it at all anymore.
I wanted to give this phone some credit for the fact that i keep the brightness OFF and can still easily see even in the sunlight! That's a very first for me! And i LOVE it for battery reasons.

Low isnt really low, there are apps that can drop it much lower

The screen definitely isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Coming from an EVO 4G, the screen is definitely an improvement.
Although some would argue the Epic Touch 4G screen is superior, and it is in some ways, the over saturated colors on it are more off-putting to me than the Photon's.
i dont mind/care about pentile so thats a non-issue.. however i miss the bright vibrant colors of a samoled.. its one of the reason why the razr is possibly my fav phone on the market
p.s. to anyone who thinks we have nothing going on.. go check them out.. they dont have a stock sbf, no unlock, no roms, no kernels, no cwm, no way to restore back to anything.... oh and they have a leaked ota that has now locked a lot of people onto it which means without a way to write crap they CANNOT get future otas....
lol imagine you were so eager for the first bug fix ota that due to rushing/leaks it prevented you from being able to get the ics ota
I dont mind about the pentile either, i beARLy ever notice it, i mean i did at first but even then i was like.. still very good screen for a phone and never bothered me

It is for this reason that my first mission was to figure out why RSD lite wasn't working on my computer, and had to find aa way to get back to stock before doing anything else

I personally like the Pentile - accurate colors, bright and good outdoors. I've tried really hard, but my eyes just do not see the screen door effect on (at least) my particular device.
And - I was very prepared to hate it when I first walked in the store, after reading reviews
The Sammy screens get lots of mention because they have overly-saturated colors (similar to the effect you get when you turn a digital camera to its "Vivid" setting). And lots of people like artifical over-saturation..... As an amateur photog, I prefer accurate color rendition.

Exactly! Ive even read some reviews saying its slightly better than the amoled screen and i got a widget that would actually turn the brightness all the way down (cause stock doesnt as joker mentioned) and i can still see it perfectly with the sunlight facing it! I like the pentile screen all around, on hd games/movies it performs flawlessly. As you said, almost perfect colors.

So my SD card broke in the phone

I was swapping out batteries and wasn't paying that close attention and something snapped. The freaking SD card broke in the phone. I have half an SD card in the phone that I am unable to bring out. And the phone doesn't recognize the card anymore either.
Any ideas on what to do now? This sucks balls. Anybody have any experience getting at the card area?
Someone mentioned in another thread to try to use a safety pin to slide the card out.

I tried to search to find something anything but nothing came up.
Maybe superglue a toothpick to the remaining piece of the sd card if you can? then pull it out?

No worries. I wasn't calling you out or anything. I was just remembering this thread and the similarities.

i just did that and now I get no SIM card inserted, **** don't know what I played with
yeah i noticed too how far the sd card sticks out.
yeah so opening up the phone was a snap, pretty easy, but in the process of dislodging the card from the behind, I probably messed up the connection so now the phone won't recognize the card.
Not a big deal, I feel like I have a Galaxy Nexus now.
so instead of 16 gb you only got 8 gb left???
So randomly this morning I'm using the phone and all of a sudden I see a mounting SD card. So it works now.
Keep the hope alive.
