Motorola Photon 4G :: My Mapquest App Freezing
Sep 23, 2011
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.

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.

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.

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?

i bought a photon at best buy today, carried it around for a while, installed the netflix app, brought it home, plugged it in, and after i tell it to install the system update, it downloads, i click install, and it shuts down immediately, starts itself back up, and then as soon as everything comes back up, i get a message that says update has failed. this has happened 3 times now, downloaded on wi-fi

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?

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.

If I have 5 or more all-day events on one day, the calendar doesn't display the text of the events, which also makes the lines very skinny and difficult to select.

I have a Photon that is at best qurky. I did a full factory reset about a month ago. the last couple of days the phone has been freezing with the alarm. the alarm will go off and I might get one or two snoozes out of it then the display freezes and is unresponsive. O can push the power button to get the power off menu but the screen will not respond to allow a power off, I must remove the battery to reset the phone.and as anyone who has a Photon knows how much fun putting the back on is. Any ideas.again this is a pretty fresh reboot and I do not have near as many apps running as before the reboot

So now I still cannot use MMS or carrier internet and the latest software update will not run, it can be downloaded but after running it 12 times it indicates update was unsuccessful. Is there anyway of reflashing the whole phone to start from scratch.

Anyone used or using Drive First?I installed it, was using it, but just too much for me, I already use a car dock, motospeak and bluetooth.(Yes, trying to be safe).It just does not intrgrate well with Google Voice.Anyway, it seemed to install an app when I signed up for it, the app is called Smart Device Manager.After cancelling Drive First it continues to lock my screen when the car moves.I figured out which app is is, but the only available option is "uninstall updates" and it keeps wanting to re-update the app after I uninstalled updates. I have uninstalled updates and reinstalled a few times, but it seems that app is dug in there, and won't leave.Because Sprint customer service has NO CLUE (after 4 reps) how the app works, or how to get rid of it?

My D2G has started locking up for long periods even when just unlocking the phone after waking it up. Rebooting does not help. I know of one other D2G owner who is experiencing this as well?

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.

This morning is the second time that my Motorola Xoom has frozen up on me since I received it back from Motorola after the 4G LTE upgrade. I never had any problems whatsoever with this tablet prior to the upgrade. Each time required me to perform a reset via the power and volume up buttons and could be related to either the hardware upgrade, Android 3.2.2 OS upgrade that they added or even to various applications that might not be playing well with the OS upgrade.

My Motorola Atrix 2, already OTA'ed to 2.3.6, sometimes doesn't turn on after I have put it in sleep (normal screen-off sleep). I push the power button and the screen goes off, then next time I need it, it's apparently dead. Actually it's not dead, because after I pull and reinsert the battery, it turns on, so the battery has still some juice in it. As of now, it happened only with the phone in airplane mode (hence, with me sleeping in the bed), so this may be a clue. Also my battery settings are set to maximum savings. Also, a couple times, it happened after I had just sleeped the phone, for I tried to turn it on after a few seconds and it was already frozen.

My Motorola Spice freezes quite often. I'll be using an App, or trying to dial someone, browsing my phone, etc and a lot of times the phone will just freeze. Buttons cannot be pressed or anything. All you can do is sit there and annoyingly wait for 3 minutes for the phone to automatically restart and load itself back up. Why does it do this? Is there any way to fix this problem? It's really annoying and frustrating. I can't even check for system updates (currently have Android 2.1) because it keeps saying "Cannot be checked at this time" and Mobilicity isn't even listed as a carrier to check the software update on the site. My phone also lags a lot. I noticed I have to wait for the phone to "catch up with me" (i.e. texting or loading). Is there any way I can increase or better my phone's performance? I don't know what's the problem and if I should get it sent in to Motorola to get it fixed.

Tablet keeps freezing up every time you use it? I've contacted Motorola support and sent it back, but all I keep getting is that shouldn't be happening.

Anyone ever see this? My contacts constantly freeze, sometimes to the point where it takes 5 minutes to work through the kill all apps, force close, wait, etc to get to the dialpad or contact names and make a call. Not farmiliar enough with Android to figure this out.One of the reoccuring messages is - Activity Dialer (in application Contacts Storage) is not responding - Force Closed/ WaitI believe it has something to do with the contacts because I have also loaded the app Tikl, and when it asks for my contacts there is 20 or so of the same contact and it then freezes when I try to scroll through them...I have deleted a few apps that appeared to run without being loaded. I use Battery Dr. to kill the apps.

Not sure why but in the last week or so my Razr has been freezing completely whenever I try to use the camera. I can get the phone to power down but that is all.

I've upgraded my RAZR MAXX HD to Jelly Bean. It seemed fine at first, and still does while in use, but will freeze and reboot randomly when not in use. It will get to a point where the screen goes dark and the phone will not respond to button presses or bluetooth connections, nor indicate new messages, etc; the phone must be restarted with PWR + VOL UP/DOWN. Oh, and the phone doesn't get hot either. I've tried an FDR (X6), installed only the Google Voice app, and it hasn't helped. I had not a single problem with ICS. I've googled and asked VZW tech support, but no one else seems to be having this problem with the OTA JB update. I grabbed some logs with logcat, but don't see anything. Is there some sleep mode event that occurs after some time or a way to monitor for a memory leak?

I have a Droid X and I recently decided to upgrade my sd card to a PNY 16gb card. For some reason, every time I add music to the card I attempt to play the music and it might work fine but after a few songs, the phone slows down and freezes. I've added music to the card a few different ways and I keep getting the same results. For instance, I initially put the card in the phone and formatted it and connected it to my pc with the usb cord and transferred songs that way had issues. Then I used a card reader and formatted the card on the pc, loaded up songs then installed the card into the phone had issues. The only time I had a little 'success' was when I added songs via usb to the card little by little. I added 2 album and used it for a little bit and it seemed fine. Then I added 2 more albums and it seemed ok. By the time I hit about 10-12 albums it got bogged down and the phone froze up on me. I don't know if this matters but in each case I'm just creating a folder called 'Music' and I put all the songs into it.
I'm not sure if the 16gb card is too 'big' or if maybe the type of card I have is wrong. I've also read some stuff about 'media scans'. Does the phone automatically scan new files that are on the sd card and by adding too many at a time the phone just slows down to a crawl?
