ByeBye, my close friends!!!
I will miss you soo much, and I will still be active in the Photon forums, but I leaving to switch to the SII... Most of you tell me that I'll find myself running back to the Photon, but due to my complications...I doubt that........ I don't wanna leave a good community and a great Motorola Device with the best call quality and radios out.... But, this is goodbye, for now at least....
Special shoutouts to Shabbypenguin, Lokifish Marz, Bandage, Yay 4 Juggs, QBKing77, KTT16, kennypow3rs, dsims7_2000, and all of those that started this community!!!
Good thanks to by buddy who has disappeared --- xTMFxOffshore...
My Very close friends are xTMFxOffshore & kennypow3rs. I will miss you both.
The names in bold are the people that started this community and ran the fourms, they have been here from day one, some of which have left us...
Adios, Amigos!!!
Will Miss You All!!!
And KTT16 --- We planned to work on a theme together this summer, but I don't think that will pan out.
Sad to see you go. The GSII is a good entertainment phone (I have one) and has a pretty big dev community. There also a number of big names on that device as well. I personally choose the MoPho over the GSII but can't harp on anybody that goes with it.
Wish you good luck!

Personally, I think you (We) should have waited until Samsung Note but, I'm sure I will see you again my friend. Good Luck and you know where to find me!
EDIT: I take that back, Your SII is gay!!! that weak a** phone is for loosers and people that cannot make it in the real world. I would not even let my daughter get that punk a** phone! I bet the WiFi is the lower 'a' band and it dont have GPS and if it does, its a dudes voice. Instead of ICS, it has Veggi Soup!!!! (Deedscreen I could go at this all day but I have to work!!)
The SII is garbage.. at least Sprint's version. I hope it works out for you but I bet it wont take you half a day to see how subpar the radio in that phone is.

Working with, repairing and selling both phones I see it as a wash. If someone is looking for a "in your hand" media phone, I push the Epic. It has an attractive screen and media optimizations that the MoPho doesn't have. If someone is looking for "and the kitchen sink" phone, I push the MoPho. It's screen and media playback falls short of the Epic but has amazing expansion capabilities. Granted I avoid iPhones like the plague (sheeple products annoy me) but if the customer can barely understand their hero/moment then I point them towards an iPhone. If I didn't need the MoPho's feature set I would have gone with the Epic.
(Please note that the 3D abomination is not in the above paragraph. That's one POS I will not sell to anybody. Almost every 3D that comes in for service ends up getting replaced.)
I ended up going through 4 evo 3D's before switching to photon. That phone is a POS. HTC really let me down man and I got that sucker on launch day. After the Evo 3D I used a Nexus s for a month which was another plastic POS by Samsung (also garbage). Photon was my first moto android device and they won me over...for now. That said, I agree with the guy above me 100%.

Just random issues Samsung phones usually have. At home I can get a solid 9mb on 4G consistently and her ET maxes out at 4/5mb tops right next to mine. Signal isn't all that great in our home (same problem I had with the nexus s). Phone feels very cheap as compared to the photon or 3D. She likes it but then again she likes whatever phone you put in her hand. I'd say she's not the most tech savvy person out there so she wouldn't know what works etc. I know though...the small issues drive me nuts lol. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the excellent radio moto has in this thing now! Sammy's are known for weak radios just ask the original iPhone 4 owners

if having a phone that lags on its own OS, has a screen that looks like bees painted it with there asses, has very little dev support, no plans of getting ics ota update, and has a return rate of 45% (at my store)... I don't know how u would even think about calling this phone an upgrade over the galaxy s ii.
The only thing holding this phone off from being 100% crap is its radio, GSM card slot, and it being sold in stores (best buy, target, and Walmart) for only $50 to $100 bucks.

You mad bro? Lol
Motorola hasnt denied any of its latest phones only stated which ones are getting it first for sure. They made this very clear with an official statement. I believe this phone will see ICS q1 2012 same with the epic touch (which is a plastic PIECE OF **** with a nice screen). That's all Samsung phones have going is the screen. And dev support? Who says we don't have any? We have enough dev support; let me guess, you're one of those people who thinks a new rom is when someone takes a base, removes a few apps and adds a theme? (i.e the evo 4G/3D forums). This phone has webtop, kernel devs and a dedicated cm7 dev and others chip in. What else do you need?
Epic touch is a joke with a shiny screen, I can say that because I have one right next to me. Get real kid..

Three things.. which are related..
1) Lack of UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
2) LAGGG big time with the stock builds from time to time
3) Lack of developer support (see #1)
-mark
Also the built in voip sip calling is cool so i hate how the photon wants it to be wifi only on an app that will noticeably increase battery usage running on a phone with abismal battery life.
In fact thats what i hate most about the photon is that low capacity battery. I think the transform i upgraded from has more charge capacity then the t fh5x battery. It seems like moto needs to step their battery game up across the board.

Try building the kddi source or wait until i finish building it and port your photon to that and at&t should work (but not lte just 3g)

What the hell happened? I thought you were gonna wait for the Galaxy Nexus?
1) The blur widgets are UGLY
2) "black crush" really bothers me
3) "water droplet" protection...frustrates me. tegra 2 is for gaming so why teh handicap? blah
4) the fact that my wifi will not stay connected for some reason
There are others, but despite those imperfections, this is the best phone I have ever had. Most comfortable to hold as well.
The one thing I don't like about my photon is that the little silver buttons where just glued on! WTF! My power button and my camera button are now just little black nubs. Volume rocker is still holding strong though *fingers crossed*
The bootloader doesn't bother me to much since we have it unlocked minus 4G. All I can really hope is that they get the camera working on CM9 and I'll be a happy camper.......well happier camper since I'm already pretty happy. I don't regret the purchase that's for sure.
Agreed...the BEST phone I've ever purchased.
The unlocked bootloader with no 4G ):

Towers kept going down (as usual), calls not coming through etc. My area just doesn't have great sprint coverage. Ive been using an airwave I got fed up plus a rep got under my skin! Photon was the Greatest phone I've ever owned, it will be missed. I can't stick to just apple I'll get an android device and be back real soon lol. The coverage isn't horrible but it's not amazing either. I'm glad to be back on gsm I hate CDMA anyways.

Well, I've been an Evo 3D fag, but i've been having problems with it and I don't really like it. First one went completley dead, and this one has random reboots and gps is fried.
I brought my e3d to sprint last night and they gave me an option of the E3d or Photon.
I decided to try the Photon ( mistake or good choice)?
The E3d is very buggy and just isn't very good quality. I heard the Photon gets great reception and such. The 3D was garbage and bars would jump to 5 then instantly drop to 1 all the time.
Hopefully I made a good choice. Or did I?
Good choice to my evo3d back after 7 days for the photon

My son has the 3d. Great device, except that he doesn't get good reception. I love my Mopho. However don't expected as many roms here as the 3d. The ones we have are great though!

Hello,
I purchased an EVO 3D as part of the First to Buy promotion last June as a Premier Gold after having a wonderful experience with my EVO 4G.
All I can say is after literally 5 different 3D's, 2 weeks ago I finally demanded a different Android Handset and too was offered the Photon.
I truly cannot be happier and as I already had a 16gb SD Card, the amount of Storage I have is staggering. It has been hard to get used to the Home Button not being at the far left, but I have gotten used to it.
Cheers,
JJ
Thanks for the replies, i do like the storage on it. I know there isnt much going on for development, but i'm not too worried about it. It doesn't make that much of a difference with the phone its just fun and addicting.
The E3D is just so buggy, the roms and phone itself.
I just got my photon today coming from a galaxy s2 i didnt have los but at work its like a dead spot and with my epic touch 4g i would lose all bars but with my photon i get full bars plus 4g wtf.!!!! Photon ftw.!!!
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Congrats on your choice. I just unlocked about 3-4 days ago and it was very easy. From what others have told me it is a very hard phone to brick. Reception is by far the best I have had on any phone. I think you will like it!
Welcome to the club. Most will tell you the photon doesn't need a rom. I'm one of those people. I'm satisfied just being rooted on stock. It's pretty much hits the nose in terms of what I want from a rom. Enjoy!

I think you've made a very good choice. I recently just got the Photon in the last week coming from an Evo 4G. This phone has the best reception of any I've owned. Battery life is also excellent. Over all I am very pleased.
Like nyckid stated, the stock ROM is very good. I have yet to see a compelling reason to flash an alternative. Unlike with my Evo where I was flashing a new ROM or kernel every other day, lol.

To be rooted stock means you don't have to unlock the bootloader which means you keep 4g right? If so that's what I want to do.

That is correct. Root is sort of like administrative access on a computer.Lets you install cool stuff you normally couldn't and make changes to your system, if you would like to. It wont break your 4g in other words.

Just wondering what phone everybody came to the S3 from? There seems to be a lot of people from the Epic 4G.
If you came from the touch, what made you switch? I find it very similar.
OG Epic. I've never gotten a phone on release day tho, kinda weird.
Motorola Photon. It wasn't a very nice phone and had a lack of Devs and Themers. Learned how to theme because of that phone, so I have to give it some respect.
I just came from a Sanyo Katana eclipse...but that was technically a temp phone. Before I use to have an HTC Evolution Shift. Its a great transition from a small screen!

That is left feeling kinda no so much let down but kinda eyyyh about this handset. I've already promised my ET4G to my brother in-law and I think im going to regret it. I knew the GS3 wasnt that much of an upgrade going in to this but the camera seems funky and NFC well google wallets not working on the device :silly: I just feel kinda blah about it ..... and moving off files from the ET4G it seemed to fit better in my hand and I miss being able to change the saturation on the screen modes.
It'll get better with customs Roms to be honest not liking stock at all. I really hope AKOP comes out for this phone. Fingers crossed

yeah im hoping the dev's will be able to tweak it to its full potential :fingers-crossed:
Coming from the ET4G on MIUI I am feeling the same way. I could have easily waited. If you flash the new touchwiz on the SII you won't miss much. The only thing Im banking on is taking pics while you record. I'm not sure if that's a hardware perk or not. So far I'm trying to sell myself on the new device. We will see!

I only wish the TW calendar widgets were compatible with another launcher as they did a much better job on those than stock ICS. Business Calendar is a good enough replacement though.
Hmm I'm in love with this phone, maybe because I had the old, and kind of slow s3 processor in my T-Mobile s2, and a non HD screen

People are so funny! This is one of, if not the best phone out! Damn wait until the roms get going before you ungrateful f$$ks get to crying.

When AOKP and CM9 and various roms come out for this phone (which I have high hopes they will) the phone will feel rebirthed.
I enjoy it now, but I've never been a fan of TW or samsungs skins. Still though, it's a huge upgrade for me; Coming from a Nexus S.
Agree once Cm9 and others get going this phone will fly especially with the 2 GBs of ram

It's a big jump from my Nexus S 4G.

Just Flash It !!!
I had the s2 and I feel it is an upgrade. More ram, 1.5ghz, slightly larger screen, this radio has performed better than my s2, lte soon, and not that it matters much but when was the last time your s2 hit 5000 on quadrant while running stock. This phone also feels a lot smoother

I came from the Samsung Vibrant and this is a nice upgrade for me. Very excited. The first thing that went was TW. I'm running Nova launcher on mine. (it installed automatically as it got synced with my account).
The only thing that I am missing is the Ubuntu for Android. I wonder if CM team will look into implementing it with some of their builds. That would be sweet!

Whoa.....that was pretty harsh. Not very nice dude.
I'll have to disagree with the OP. I'm really liking mine so far.
