KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted June 8, 2012 whats the point of having an android device if you dont use data and stay connected!!! We are actually using data only when need arises and as a +ve side effect, it gives great battery life... You can keep data always ON, if you have charger+power ready and top-up frequently.... And if you want BOTH always-ON data and good battery life, get Razr-MAXX .... PEACE.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am ok with the trade off between keeping data On and loosing battery life. But yeah I dont keep background data on unless Im near a charging source!

::: VA ::: 531 Report post Posted June 17, 2012 My photon stock rom takes full hd videos 1920 x 1280 p and I use it alot. . How? "Stock" is limited 720p. What is different about your stock rom? As I said be patient and hold on cos soon all photon s will have full hd video recording and few more things. Can't say more.

Additionally it also gives battery remaining percentage numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashokb 11 Report post Posted June 18, 2012 Motorola is pushing out updates which make your boot loader unlock unsuccessful. So my suggestion is make boot loader unlocked and then install safe updates from Cheesecakes or something alike. Check root wiki and xda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

st_7 138 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 For folks with Motorola Photon 4G, there is an update is being rolled out "Version 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13" from yesterday. Below is the list of enchancements that would be brought to your phone by this update. Keep in mind that there are reports that this update may make bootloader unlocking unsuccessful. Get some information on forums like Xda before updating it if you like to have an unlocking software. More easily import contacts from SD card. Improved music playback, both streaming from Amazon Cloud or Internet Radio services and music saved to the phone - minimizes occasional skips or repeats Enhancements for WiFi hotspot in GSM/UMTS mode and adding new WiFi connections. Now supports 1080p HD video capture, and enhanced video settings for more responsive playback. Easier creating and accepting calendar meeting notices on the phone.

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 ^ ^ ^ Just updated now, it is a pretty big update at 125MB. It will bump the Photon to software version 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13. Those Photon users who haven't got the update notification, fret not, please check for it manually, you can do that by heading on into Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates > Update Motorola Software.

Check here for more details http://forum.xda-dev...php?t=1622764 Sent from my Motorola Photon 4G There is mention on xda that Photon Torpedo method will restore root access even in the new release. Not too sure though as someone has got success with Torpedo while some have reported failure, maybe also due to wrong implementation. Anyway better to wait and watch rather than hurry and end in hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashokb 11 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 Yeah and I honestly don't see any compelling reason to upgrade. I would suggest wait for cwm flashale stock build which are already rooted. Cheesecakes or fruitcakes is what it's called. Guys don't loose root as its far more valuable than anything on android.
