How to wirelessly connected to their home computer? The phone sees my computer's ip addy through the Files Icon but I keeps asking for my "username" and "password". I do not have a user name or password to put in there atleast I dont think I do. I have a password for my home network but no username.

I would like to be able to set my Photon 4g so that the home screen is in landscape mode without having to open the kickstand or use a dock. Is there a simple setting or an app that will let me toggle this behavior? In my case I have a third party car dock and I want to set the home screen to landscape when I dock it and plug in the power connector.
View 10 Replies View RelatedPlugged my Photon into my PC for the first time today, using the Phone Portal app (stock). As it popped up, it looked like any other Android/smartphone in that I could "see" it as a drive on my PC....look at/add/delete/manage data and folders.No biggie.But....Up pops the Motorola Media Link app for install on the PC (assuming the file to do so was on the phone and did this once it was connected to a computer). OK, so I install it to take a peek. Install was clean....it looked for and installed an upate of the Media Link app...and I saw that it was nothing more than a sync conduit for music/photos/etc.
Not wanting to sync anything, I simply "safely removed hardware" on the PC...unplugged and went to lunch. It was then that I noticed a bunch off icons missing from the home screens. My HTC Evo used to do that whenever you'd disconnect, because you'd been using the SD card as a drive. It would then re-initialize the card and poof, your icons would reappear. Not this one! They're gone-ski!They're still in the All Apps view....and certainly still on the phone/card because I can see them in settings>apps. If I look at the SD card view, they're all there.I did some rooting (sorry....snooping) around and found a few threads about this regarding Droid X, but none of the questions had been answeredI called Moto and they don't know what it is; "oh

After the recent update was push to my phone... My Home applicaion fails to start in an endless cycle. No matter what happens the home application attempts to start and fails. The only way to stop the loop is to just let the phone sit there with error message box displayed.I have wiped and factor reset the device twice and get the same result with the excpetion that now the only way to shutdown the phone is pull the battery.I have another Photon that updated just fine. Is there any hope... Can I download the update to my computer, transfer to update to SD and update via SD card. As of right now I do not know where to get the update from.
View 5 Replies View RelatedEvery time I connect the XPRT to my computer, it performs a long drawn out process. One the phone it reads:
1. Connecting usb or mass storage
2. Preparing SD card
3. SD card safe to remove
Steps 2. and 3. are continually cycled back and forth for at least 10 minutes. During this period I cannot access any of the data on the phone via the computer. Once the cycling is complete and the notifications menu reads "SD card safe to remove," it functions normally. The entire time I have the USB connection set as "USB Mass Storage." Other than that I do not have any problems transferring data to and from the phone, however, it is frustrating that it takes so long for it to connect.
I downloaded a couple of new apps last night to help me manage my Photon a bit tighter. I downloaded Sleep Silencer (turns ringer off at night) as well as Easy Profiles (same idea - allows me to change profiles quickly so I can give my wife some rest from the notifications/ringer after 11pm). Also downloaded a new app I'd never seen before called UltimateFavs Pro Free (a nifty carousel of apps via double clicked Home button).
Well...one of these apps is now causing an issue I have no idea how to resolve. The Home/Desktop screen is black/blank. Nothing I do will get it back up again. However, everything is still working...all my notifications are coming in...but I can't read them...phone is ringing...but I cannot answer
I'm looking for a way to boot into "SAFE MODE" so I whatever process is downloading at bootup will STOP and let me get to the Home screen. Once I do that, I'll delete these apps 1 at a time until I find the one causing it.
I've looked on this thread and cannot find the steps to boot into Safe Mode. I think it's Volume Down while turning on handset, but that gets me to FastBoot and I'm not sure what that is?
I have been having problems with my home icons vanishing when connecting my Photon as a USB drive. I found a workaround that takes care of this problem.

View 8 Replies View RelatedEverytime I connect my Droid3 to the computer my Droid Pulls pictures and music FROM my PC and puts it on the phone. Sometimes it will pull All of my pictures, and sometimes it randomly selects 2 or 3 HUNDRED of them. I recently decided to add some music to my phone and as I was creating my "playlist" to sync to my droid, I noticed that something was happening. Before I even hit sync, my phone pulled ALL of the music off my computer and stored it on my phone.
I have tried to delete the pictures by going into the file on the computer and I get half way through when it locks up. I have to delete EACH picture.
I have gone to the Verizon Store, they have never heard of this happening. They did a reset, which thrilled me because I lost all of my ringtones and downloaded apps. It also erased all the personalized ringtones I had set.
Is anyone else having a problem connecting the phone to the desk dock via USB cable to the computer?When I connect a USB cable directly to the phone from the computer, the phone is charging and the computer recognizes that the phone has been connected and mounts the phone as a drive.If I connect that same USB cable to the desktop dock, then drop the phone in the dock, the phone detects that it's in the dock, but it doesn't charge, and the computer doesn't recognize that anything has been connected.If I plug a wall charger into the desktop dock, then drop the phone in the dock, the phone charges with no problem.this bundle also came with a little desktop charging station, which has just a small slot for the spare battery (also part of this bundle), and two USB ports (one male and one female). If I plug that same USB cable into the small charging station (female USB port) and drop the spare battery in, it starts charging. If at the same time, I plug the male USB port of the charging station into the phone's USB port, the computer recognizes the phone has been attached and also the phone starts charging too.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs anyone else having problems with their computer crashing when you connect your phone to the computer via USB cable? This was a pre-existing problem before but it was solved by checking USB debugging (or vice-versa). But after the software upgrade to 4.0.4, I get the blue-screen-of-death and the computer crashes every time no matter which setting I choose for the USB debugging. This makes it almost impossible to transfer files between my computer and phone.
View 6 Replies View Relatedhow do I get the photon to get "charge only" mode when connecting the photon to a pc?I have 2 operating systems, 1 tablet with windows 7 professional 32 bit tablet pc, and 1 laptop with windows xp professional 32 bit.Some other people were saying as soon as they plug in their photon to their PC, they can drop down the notification menu from where the clock, signal indicator is and see this option. I do not have this when trying to connect - all it does is "charge" but I am able to make/receive calls this way.Both OS's do not recognize the photon, and there are no errors in device manager.I also did the OTA update to MR5 from sprint over wifi.Is there a link to the application or correct drivers I need for this? Also how can I test to see if this will work?
View 6 Replies View RelatedOn my previous Motorola International smartphone, XPRT (MB612) there were FOUR options when connected to a computer:Motorola Phone PortalWindows Media SyncUSB Mass StorageCharge OnlyOn the Photon Q (XT897) only three options are shown...Mass StorageMedia Device (MTP)Camera (PTP)..and there appears to be no way to allow the PQ to be connected via USB to a computer, widescreen TV, blu-ray player, or any device other than a simple charger just to keep the battery up while in "normal" mode.For example, when connected to my Samsung LED LCD flatscreen via HDMI to show videos or pictures, it would be nice to be able to also connect via USB to keep the battery charged.
Instead, immediately on connection of the devices via USB, the PQ unmounts the SD card (where the videos and pictures are stored) and goes into the Mass Storage, Media Device, or Camera mode.Is anyone aware of any way to have the PQ connected to a computer or other device not specifically a charger without having the PQ go into some special mode and demount the SD card?
When I start Motocast on my RazrMaxx, I just noticed that Itues also starts on my computer.
1- Is this normal?
2- If so why?
My Photon automatically defaults to the dial screen when I press the call button from the home screen. It used to display the last tab used or recent calls if I had missed one. I have scanned through all of the options and can't seem to find an option to change this.
