Motorola Photon 4G :: Freezing, Restarting Itself, Delaying Texts?
Jan 26, 2012
I've had my Photon for about six months, and lately it has been acting possessed. It will freeze on the Motorola logo, as though it has restarted itself. Sometimes it will restart itself completely. Sometimes it will turn itself off a few minutes after I unplug it in the morning. I've been getting 24 hour delays with incoming text messages* (yet I can still make calls and send texts, browse the web, etc). If I pop out the battery and put it back in again, it will work fine for a few days and then the problems start all over again.Yes, I have power-cycled it. That is the first thing I did. And second. And fifth.

Is text messaging. If I try to send an outgoing text at the same time that one is incoming it will not send the outgoing message. It will struggle for about 30 seconds to 1 minute (or even more) and eventually time out with a 'text was not sent' error message. For someone like me who sends thousands of texts a month it's the most annoying thing ever! Other phones do not have this problem.
Also the time stamp for texts does not work if the phone is powered off. For example: I turn my phone off at midnight and someone sends me a text at 1:00 AM. I turn my phone back on at 8AM. The text arrives but does not have the correct time stamp as being sent at 1:00 AM. It will be shown as 8AM. So I have no idea what time the message was actually sent. Once again other phones I have used did not have this problem.

Is anyone else having issues with MapQuest? It will determine directions and say the first step of directions but will freeze after that. Doesn't show that I've moved or anything. I've had issues with the Google Nav where it looks for a GPS signal for several minutes, sometimes indefinitely, when there is nothing blocking the signal (buildings, car, etc) so I was wondering if there might be an issue with my particular phone. The Google issue doesn't happen all the time however the Mapquest issue happens every time. I emailed Mapquest and they said there might be an issue with their software and the GPS but since I've had problems with Google Nav as well, I thought I would ask here.

I have had my droid for a while now and love it. Last night it all of a sudden started freezing up during texting. The only way to get out of it is to pull the battery. It has done this a bunch of times now...It seems like everything else wors when I use it. It just keeps locking up when I am texting.

1st major one is occasionally I cannot hear the callers but they can hear me, second the web browser has heavy delays when loading a page. For example the page will load 25-50%(according to the status bar) and then freeze and then fully load in one burst. I am updated to the latest software 45.2.7. MB855.Sprint.en.US I also remove my battery almost daily and restart my phone daily.

Its been a whole day not sure whats goin on i didnt acually realize it was happening untill a friend came over.I was sending texts out to family and friends but never getting any back which i though was weird but didn't think much of it maybe everone i sent one to was busy...unlikely.So my buddy came by and said he has been texting me back all day several times and i never awnsered just kept sayin whats up or you gettin my text lol.
I thought trying to update might solve the problem so i went to update my profile and prl and as soon as i hit update profile they all started coming in at once had tons of them. but now they dont come when people send them they all come together 15 or 20 minutes after they have wrote me back whats the deal.

I know that in the camera there is a setting to save your pictures and videos to either the internal memory or the SD card, how can you save other things to the card instead of the phone or is there even a way to do so? like pictures you save from texts, Zedge, and music files etc...

Yesterday I realized that my phone was not receiving incoming texts or phone calls. I power cycled my phone and several texts from the last 1 1/2 days came through. My phone also started to work again. Has this happened to anyone else? Again this phone has a problem with its most basic function.

Had this phone a little over a month now and notice that sometimes when someone sends me a text that comes in 2 parts because of the length of it, I will receive the 2nd part of the message first (out of order). Now this isn't so bad as long as the first part comes in so I can read the whole message. However I have had at least 3 situations where I only received the 2nd part of the message and never received the first part. So I had to ask the senders to resend the message over again. Now this could be a network issue and nothing to do with the phone but I don't recall this ever happening on any other phone I have used.

When I am typing messages and the phone goes into landscape mode because I tilted it a bit, it shows the list of texts from the top even though the newest texts are at the bottom. Is there some way to prevent this?

I updated my brother phone to ics from 2 weeks ago and since then the phone got so laggy and slow the phone got 5-6 sec to open and it restart on its own alot. So I did a master rest and deleted everything on the phone or sd card. The phone got better and faster but again it did restart on its own even without doing heavy function on it. So I moved on and did a software repair from the pc companion .. but still the phone restart and just freeze on its own.

here are reports of N8 getting stuck, crashing, freezing during a simple voice call or using Ovi Maps / GPS or doing simple operations in some applications.There are reports N8 auto-restarts, reboots by itself.There are reports N8 is bricked, dead. t cannot start anymore.1. Is this freezing a problem only with N8 or does it happen ith C7, C6 or other Symbian^3 phones?. . . . (like E7 for the guys who got earlier a review unit)2. Does the freezing of the OS occurs with Symbian s60v5 as well -ike N97, Nokia 5800, 5230?

my bold 9780 on telus has been freezing, and shutting down and everytime it starts back up it does the same thing and shuts down, and sometimes it doesn't even restart, the red LED light blinks 5 times on the black screen. I seriously love this phone but i hate how much trouble its been giving me. And when it is on it either says sim card error, SOS or searching for networks randomly.

I just have made my phone alive after a long try. I have put it Charging. But It continually freeze & getting overheat, required a soft reboot (volume down + power button) to run it again. Even after Rebooting, the phone doesn't always act in the desired behavior. Sometimes it's Restarting Automatically. What can I do now ?

I have a N8 well kept, always updated, never flashed, properly soft formatted before updating to belle. I thought that belle would have been fantastic. It really is not.Consider that as I type this text from my n8, the browser has freezed twice, the phone has rebooted once. And I only have apps compatible with belle on my phone.It took 2 minutes to switch from Italian language to English!

What do I have to do to send my phone to the Sony Ericsson repair shop because I just bought it and it's seriously messed up. Lagging, freezing, restarting. Buttons work whenever they decide to and a signal problem but I'm not sure if that's the phone or where I live.

using Photon 4G with Airtel prepaid sim with system version 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en, Whenever I run short codes (USSD codes) like *123# to check my prepaid GSM balance or interact with service provider by *121# it takes long time showing USSD code running.. and after few mins either shows MMI successfully complete or MMI failed but doesnt actually show the text which is shown in my other GSM phones; to query balance or activate some service. Tried forums but no concrete solution.

Any use the Motorola Date and Time Widget? Mine seems to hang at night (seemingly about 20min after I plug it in for charging) and stays on yesterdays date and time until somehow it corrects itself the next day. There is no way to "activate it" or make it correct itself. All other clocks and calendars are correct.

I have a Sprint Motorola Photon 4G and I am using it in Brazil with a Claro SIM Card. The phone reboots itself sometimes when I try to make or receive a phone call (2 or 3 times a day). I know this is happening to other Photon owners and I already tried the factory reset twice. My build # is 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6. Does anyone know a fix for that?

That's basically it. I don't want to keep getting e-mail (at my gmail account) that I have no events on a given day. How do I stop the Photon calender app from doing this?

Has anybody else noticed that the Razr Maxx wont separate the texts into multiple texts if you go over 160? I didnt notice it until I did it the other night, and got a sending error. I could have sworn in the past there was an option for this.

I have a major issue with my corporate exchange calendar. If I accept an invitation to a meeting, the phone makes me the organizer of the meeting. This syncs back to my corporate calendar. This is obviously completely wrong. If I delete the meeting on my phone, or on my computer, it sends out a message to everyone that was on the meeting saying that it was cancelled. If I need to adjust the meeting only on my calendar, it sends out an update to everyone. It has caused a lot of confusion for me and my work colleagues.

Has anyone seen / experienced this? When I have my photon in the car dock and using the GPS, I am unable to receive incoming calls. My girlfriend has called me for the past three days and she says my phone rings and rings and goes to voicemail. I have Sprint Service. I am not using TeleNav or any other navagation, I am just using the GPS mode and Bluetooth is also running. I dont have any other issues with not receiving incoming calls unless its in the dock.

I noticed that whenever I am making/receiving calls, the screen flashes every few seconds. I wonder why it is doing that. I have never seen this on any other phone before. At first I thought it was related only to the silent call issue that the screen flashes every few seconds but even when I am able to make a regular call it still does this.

I have just moved from a windows phone and got this photon phone. I listen to music from the web, like 181.fm/mobile. These stations require a windows media player to work. The windows media player is not on my photon phone or in the android market place.
