[Q] Motorola Photon 4G volume issues - Motorola Photon 4G

Ok, so my mom has a Photon and the volume (ringtones and notifications mostly) wont work when shes had it on silent for more then 30 minutes. Ive tried everything I can think of to fix the issue and nothing has changed. Oh yea and she is on her 3rd one and they have all had the same problem. If anyone has any thoughts Id love t hear them!
Thanks.

Strange... I never heard of this. Are you on the stock ROM?

Yes its on the stock rom. She wont let me root it because shes affraid it something will go wrong.

Does the sound come back once you've rebooted the phone? I mean, taking it out of silent should be enough to unsilence it

You would think that unsilencing it would be enough but for whatever reason in this case its not but yes the phone has to be rebooted every time in order or the volume to work again but sometimes that doesnt even work.

Odd... the only thing I can think of would be to restore it back to a stock SBF, but that might not do much since you've had the issue with 4 other phones. You shouldn't hurt it though

With that many devices it would seem it could be an app problem.

Yeah I agree. I would factory reset, not install any apps, test and see if the problem appears.

Phone stuck in speaker phone mode

Somehow my phone is stuck in speaker phone mode as the default. Every time I make a call by default the speaker phone is on and I have to hit the speaker button. I cant for the life of me figure out how to change this option.

Battery pull? Wipe?
Check to make sure your kick stand is seated correctly. And that there is nothing stuck in there.

Do you have GoSMS installed? If so, update it. It was a known issue on previous version.

Looks like GoSMS was the culprit. Updated to latest version and problem resolved. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

Touchscreen not responding.

So occasionally my capacitive buttons don't respond, along with my touchscreen. When I power down the screen and turn it on it works fine. Does anybody else have this problem? Also, I understand that the vast majority of rezounds don't do this so please don't simply post "never happened to me" or something. It's not helpful and makes me jealous of you lol.

I have this occasionally and experienced it on my TBolt as well. You are not alone. Figured it was more of an app error then a phone error.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
It does it right on the Rosie screens/and the notification bar. I'll see if I can catch an app doing it though. I've had the phone for at least a few weeks before it started doing that

Recently I have unrooted my device and and used Kies to get on Stock 4.0.4...My problem is when I hold the power button down, I get no options at the power down menu..the phone just shuts off and I have to power back up to turn it on. Also, there is no lock screen on my device. Please help me. I am not looking for a temporary fix like "Download GoLauncher EX..I know that works for a lock screen, but I would like to use the one intended for the phone. Thank you ahead of time for your help!

Aosp 4.1x - 4.2.2 torch time out

Hey all, I have a question for all you out there in XDA land, rezound county. Is there a way to prevent the torch app from timing out when the screen shuts off? It is really annoying, as the toggle and app day it is solo on. I have only encountered this issue on this device. My old T-bolt and Eris before that never had the issue. Is it an ICS/JB thing or device specific?

I tried to play with the code in the android.XML once. I was obviously unsuccessful. One thing i noticed is that it uses the keep screen on command rather than android.permission.wakelock when i changed it the app would force close so i missed something somewhere relating to permissions. I haven't messed with it in awhile but i may try again when i get my new computer

I tried that and it didn't work, but what did work was I did a factory reset. So far so good, hopefully that helps your friend!

IDK what it is, but I have done a reset or two as this was the only way to fix the syncing problem, but it always comes back for me and the only thing I can think of is it's related to the damn 2.06 update because my other devices have no problem syncing.
