Motorola Photon Q AT&T HD Voice support?
I have a Motorola Photon Q unlocked and running lineage. It's a 4G LTE phone and yet I'm told that it won't work after the February 22nd 3G sunset because it "doesn't support AT&T HD Voice". This is a requirement that was never mentioned to me before. Previously, all I had been told was it had to be...
I have a Motorola Photon Q unlocked and running lineage. It's a 4G LTE phone and yet I'm told that it won't work after the February 22nd 3G sunset because it "doesn't support AT&T HD Voice". This is a requirement that was never mentioned to me before. Previously, all I had been told was it had to be 4G LTE. So, is there a way to make this phone capable of using AT&T HD Voice? Or at the very least trick it into thinking it's capable? I need this to work and I'm running out of time and options.

How to unlock a Photon Q with an MSL code?

I'm having a strange issue with a Motorola Photon Q. The Photon Q is carrier locked to Sprint but has long since been paid off. I have the IMEI and the MSL code to unlock the device to use with other carriers, but I've hit a roadblock in actually getting it unlocked. I called Sprint and the guy that answered seemed very helpful. He tried to unlock the phone. He even read through the manual to try to make this work. In the end he talked to his supervisors and informed me that because of how old the Photon Q is they can't unlock it through IMEI and that I need to go to the carrier that the phone will be used with, AT&T, and have them unlock it using the MSL code. So, I went to AT&T to talk with them about unlocking it with the MSL code and they didn't even seem to know what an MSL code was. I explained to them exactly what the Sprint guy explained to me several times but they didn't seem to understand. They wanted the IMEI, which didn't work. They kept asking me if it was an AT&T phone. Nothing I said seemed to get through and I still don't know how to unlock this phone. So, how do I unlock this phone, the Motorola Photon Q, to be used with non-Sprint carriers like AT&T?

The application Text Messaging (process com.motorola.conversations) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
Picked up the Photon 4G for my wife about a week ago, and she's been getting this notification periodically ever since. Sometimes, it won't show up for days...

Picked up the Photon 4G for my wife about a week ago, and she's been getting this notification periodically ever since. Sometimes, it won't show up for days... Other times, it'll show up whenever she opens up the messaging app, or sends a message, or receives one, or lets it idle for a bit, or looks at it funny... So far as I can tell, messages are sent and received without any trouble... Apart from this annoying notification. I have no idea where to even begin troubleshooting this. Any ideas?

How to unlock a Motorola Photon 4G for other carriers?

Not recieving messages from only one WhatsApp contact
When I first met the love of my life, he insisted that we use WhatsApp to communicate. He lives in Brasil and uses WhatsApp on his Windows Phone.

When I first met the love of my life, he insisted that we use WhatsApp to communicate. He lives in Brasil and uses WhatsApp on his Windows Phone. I'm in the United States and use WhatsApp for Android on my Motorola Photon Q. Over the past few months, our ability to communicate through this app has deteriorated. He says he receives my messages, and that he replies to them, but apparently I don't see them. This is frustrating, to say the least, and puts a lot of unneeded stress on both of us. I've worried myself sick over it. He says that I'm the only one this happens to, and that communication with his Brazilian contacts works just fine. One of my friends in the Philippines just got WhatsApp for Android and I can communicate with him perfectly. I'm really clueless. I've scoured the Internet for answers, but I can't seem to find any. I can send messages, and in the rare time that I do receive the messages from my boyfriend, it is late at night. I never receive any during the day. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app countless times, and my WiFi connection at my house is perfect. But this seems to only be getting worse. He says he sends me several messages a day, but I only get some of the messages about every other day--usually every two days. I'm not a tech by any means, but it seems like there might be something wrong with the different versions of WhatsApp. Android communicating with the Windows Phone. So if this is the case, then my question here is unneeded. I've contacted WhatsApp Inc. with my concerns and have yet to receive a reply. This sucks, to say the least. UPDATE: I have contacted one of my boyfriend's friends in Brasil. I can communicate with them perfectly. They said y boyfriend said there was an issue with his phone. But I'm not sure that's the case. I uninstalled WhatsApp and downloaded it through WhatsApp's website. I can now see when my boyfriend is online and when he types. But I do not receive the messages he sends.

Disable notification sounds for email
Is it possible to disable the **notification sound** for emails while still keeping the notification light and status bar notification? I'm interested in this setting for a Motorola Photon (Gingerbread).

Recently I ordered Motorola 4g from US.... It was with stock Sprint Sunfire OS. OS : Sunfire-2.3.5 Baseband : 4.5.1A (I am not sure about this whether its baseband or revision) Build : 1_SUN-254_4 **NOW ITS DEAD.... running in RSD Mode** So what I did, I was trying to install custom rom on that. Steps I had taken 1. Rooted phone via installing SuperUser and various rooting methods like ClickOnce, Photon -Torpedo but no one seems successful , while executing I got errors everytime. But after day or two I came to know about that my phone is rooted. As I was getting SuperUser popups on root operations. Then I installed CWM and tried to install the ROM from there but everytime I got stucked at Yellow Triangular icon (recovery mode). 2. Repeated step on rooting process and unlocking the bootloader by applying pudding.rar and fastboot commands and every time i got the error and Starting RSD Screens, but anyhow my phone recovers itself to its original boot state afetr pulling out battery and manually restrating. 3. Finally one day I use some other Recovery Tool , i am unable to recall the name. It installed and rebooted successfully in the recovery mode. I then wipe the dalvik cache, wipe factory reset and then tried to installl the custom rom that MIUI 2.68 i think . I was happy to see some designer screens on my phone and then it said rom installed successfully. 4. I then reboot my phone and found it in the Failed To Start2 , Starting RSD mode I tried various way to restore... 1. Installing pudding.rar using RSD lite but everytime I got sec_exception : sec_exception : b655, eddc,eb 2. I then tried reinstalling SBF : 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf and sunfire-2.3.5-4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_4 but while enumerating phone I got error sec_exception febe 4e 4e I have also tried nopudding4u.sbf but the same result. Please,, help me and my phone out .. as its going to be more than a week... i feel handicaaped... Please guide me through the step by step , which file and when and please do provide the links of the files to download. **Update OTA with 2.3.5 before murdering.....**
