Its about Time.. - Motorola Photon 4G

Well Moto FINALLY pulled the trigger and gave us a timetable on when we are getting ICS...
2Q 2012! WTF
(sorry can't attach link apparently)
look in motorola . forums .

I guess they changed it, was Q3. I personally won't be flashing it. Good chance we could wind up like the Electrify users did. Bootloader was locked.

Yup..Im blind... its Q3

Q3

Means Quarter 3, anywhere from July to September.

And that's if Sprint and Moto agree to and it's stable enough. Bugs cluld be another story.

Now how would I get my hand on this in another country?

a lot of times even a newb can pull the update file and remove the boot loader locking factors. Than ya add in an su script, whip up a super user application, and than over clock the kernal, and BOOM ya gots yourself a rocko/joker 2.0. I can't wait for a hopefully stable version of ICS and a light icing of moto changes.

Moto has not announced a release date yet. Any dates or timelines are pure speculation.

I am pretty sure they said some time in July and maby August, but these are not hard dates and can change easily.

July has just started and August is very far
Add to that they do not even reply on twitter ..
Anyone knows about international phones/carriers? I'm from Brasil, and don't really care about ATT/Bell/etc (sorry the honesty). I guess the update comes from Moto, right? Not from the carriers. Anyone?
Sent from my awesome rooted Atrix
Well the last few updates have been at the end of the months.
Also, I do not recall moto ever saying july. I believe that was just a prediction from brief mobile. Nor have I heard any rumors regarding SOAK test.
Sounds like the droid 3 is launching very soon, and the new moto flagship LTE bionic is launching early August.
So, most likely we will see a limited release toward the very end of July and a full release sometime in August.
I Hope im wrong and that this post is irrelevant by the time I press "submit"

I believe on the Motorola Owners Forums they said they were going to begin soak testing--near the end of June.

I haven't heard rumors about soak test either. I heard fact from forum manager Mark on the Moto forums telling people they would begin selection for soak very soon, everyone should update their info if needed, and 1000 people will be picked from the total pool with priority going to people who contribute on the Moto forums. This was a week or so ago.

As Muddy Waters said: You can't lose what you ain't never had.

No audio calls problem!!!

So I just ditched my EVO the other day and picked up this bad boy
I have the latest everything prl profile...
I believe I have the latest software from moto ....it ends with MR1
Correct me if Im wrong
Problem. Is when I make or receive phone calls I get no audio what so ever....only fix I have found is rebooting the phone
I have read a little round here. Sounds like im not the only one....I also have another photon as well. From a different store...my girl and I both have one.....hers does the same thing
Sprint told me this was a known issue and the problem is with Motorola software and are waiting for a update
I read somewhere bout a oem software upgrade that u could manually dl and install ...and further read that they already started implementing in a OTA ....my phone says its up to date...am I tight. Do I have the newest software? ??
If I do I have the newest software ....well the problem still happens....a few times a day....super frustrating
Let me know

Motorola Looking for Testers for Photon

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/58901?tstart=0
I've already registered.
Interesting. I wonder if they are going to push out the updates for testing that Yay already has posted in our development section, or if it might be something much more interesting - like ICS. Could be fun!
You don't say... who knows? Google might want to launch several devices with ICS at the same time.
Just signed up for it. If I get it and anything promising comes up I'll see what I can do about getting it to the rest of the community
Thanks for the heads up

That shows sprint and Motorola see the potential in the photon and want to continue making it better. Get us the DROID 3 blur and i'll be a happy camper.
I like the os that came with this phone. It doesn't really feel that bloated. Honestly it feels a lot like the vanilla gb rom I ram on my shift, just without the full customization

Wondering if there will be a WTop update attached to this or at least a current WTop source release. The funny thing is my service manager saw THIS and cursed Samsung all day. ICS MoPho will be one more thing I can pick on him about.
I hope they keep webtop, but with ics using the 3.0 kernel I see 11.10 in our future officially. Thats going to be one sweet update.

no way we are getting that. I filled the blank in for him. I am the Moto guy that lurks on these forums. It dispenses money but only twice every 2 weeks and you get about 200 bucks per withdraw
Well Moto guy, could you maybe pass along some nvflash tools?

Absolutely nothing. Just a bunch of bored dudes starting threads obviously. I'm sure the photon will see ics. Just not anytime within the next month or 2 is my guess. I think we'll see an official build by Feb (maybe) hopefully no later than march. Again, this is me guessing lol
Actually I have an inside source that says the engineers for the photon began ics work. But you know that doesn't mean much.

ICS update could be soon?

I know this is getting a little old to see on here but I thought I would just pass on the news. One of casual members over at atrix 2 forum found an ics leak using cheesecake for the att version of the phone just a few days ago yesterday Jim posted how to properly flash the new update(leak) of ICS.
Here's why I know we will get the update. The atrix 2 was one of the most currently under appreciated android device to come from Motorola in awhile. No advertisement. Just simply came out. The photon may have been out a few months longer but its resell value is still higher than the atrix 2 and has sold far more than the atrix 2. Please don't doubt Motorola on the ics updates. It will come out and it feels like only a matter of weeks or month before someone here finds a leak using cheesecake or some other method. Keep your chins up
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Even if Motorola released ICS for the Photon today it'd probably take them another 60 days to release the source code and drivers.
Actually I just checked and it seems they released the latest source code about 3 weeks before the OTA went live so maybe we'll get lucky.
Atrix*2* will have the update sooner, because it's OMAP device, like razor, bionic, droid4... It's easy to make it, if you have it already for one of them. ;-)

You are borderline trollin right now lex. Just let it go, don't be 'that' guy. And xda is supposed to be a source of information, hence it is closely related to a classroom. Every post that isn't at least somewhat informative is considered spam. "Motorola sucks" falls in that category and you should have known you were about to get flamed for sayin it.
I wouldn't write it better, even in my mother language.

Man, you started, if you look at the sequence of posts. Please, let it be...
So far for this being the first leak for the att atrix 2 its running flawlessly. The bug report thread for the build has not reported any major bug so far. So for just a leak Motorola did a great job with ics this ics. And did one of you say earlier that source was released? Were you talking about the tegra2?

Why are you so negative? If you hate Motorola so much and have such low standards for them then please leave the thread or provide useful information. If you have information about source being released in 8 months then post it rather than making assumptions based on your distaste for Motorola
