Motorola Photon 4G :: Why No Native SIP Support In It
May 17, 2012
I purchased the Photon recently because it stated that it supported SIP connectivity. Well it appears it doesn, but only over WIFI, unless you use Google talk.It appears that Sprint is attempting to keep users from using SIP over their data network, as everything that I have found indicated it is not possible as the feature in Android is disabled. I've seen where people have rooted other versions of Motorola Android devices to get around this, but have not seen if this is possible on the Photon.
It seems very near sited for this feature to be turned off.I get the minutes of use perspective for Spring, but fail to see how it supports the data network service they claim is entirely open - as obviously it is not. As companies chose to deploy Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) more and monre in Corporate America, it will only ensure they can't us Sprint, as the ability for their employes to support their open SIP network while off site will be limited to only when they are on a wifi network. And, as video become a bigger part of their business, having support on the data plan will become a bigger part of their business.

Can anyone provide details or know anything about the tasks app (as in "to do list") that comes with the XYBoard 8.2? In playing around, I actually thinks a really well done app. Simple and clean. I have one screen on my XYBoard with just that widget and have been asking tasks, checking this off, and getting things done. my life is more than just the tablet. I'd like to be able to access to the list from the web and my Bionic. I know there are plenty of task/to do apps out there. I just can't seem to find out what this specific one is and wanted to know if someone could clue me in.Is it native as of Honeycomb 3.2? Was if provided by Moto or Verizon? Or is this one of their hand-picked apps for productivity that came preinstalled.

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?

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.

After installing the Gingerbread upgrade, I don't see a Settings > Call Settings > Accounts option like in this video. Is the native Gingerbread SIP client not part of the 1.3.232 upgrade? Or have I just not found it on my device?

I have just activated my new Triumph. I have not installed any apps besides what came with it. Upon startup, everything works. If I leave the phone sit for awhile, maybe 15 minutes, I will start to get force close messages for almost every app.Messaging (process com.android.mms)Market (process com.android.vending)Facebook (process com.facebook.katana)Google Services Framework (processom.google.process.gapps)The browser crashes so fast, I don't get a chance to push "Force Close"If I restart the phone, I get a trouble free experience for another 10-15 minutes. Strangely, the phone works with no issue.This is very frustrating to me as I had heard all of the wonderful things about Android and mine crashes constantly.

I know how to remove ONE bookmark at a time. But, I have over 50 bookmarks instead of removing them one by one. Is there a feature I can wipe out all them at one step?

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

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?

The Verizon Sales assistant assured me that I'd be able to Sync my Outlook with my Droid Razr as easily as I synced it with my old Blackberry Tour. Now, after several days' worth of set-up, google searches, forum searches and FAQ's, I'm come to the conclusion that Motorola did NOT build this function into the Droid Razr, and I have to pay a hefty fee for a decent 3rd-party app to do what my Blackberry did for free. Have I missed something?

considering that i've seen these support videos on Internet, it is silly that they don't work in the support app. should be a trivial thing for se to fix.

A question for Motorola Management, why is there no SD card Support? eg. a fully functional SD card as per every other sd card slot in devices.And don't go side-lining this as a duplication, this is a straight question requiring a straight answer.

I love my new Atrix 2. But as I've seen in many other phones, what gives with no .flac support? .flac is rapidly growing into the next format of choice; it would explode if someone would support it. I've archived my entire music collection in this format. I would hope the inclusion of this codec wouldn't be of much trouble. I would love to see it in a near-future update. Until then, I'll have to convert my .flac's into .mp3 format (ugh). Luckily I created .cue files.

My 4g goes in and out on my Photon. I just "upgraded" from the Evo 4g a few weeks ago, so I know its not my network. Anyone have any suggestions. I'm thinking about taking it back. I use it as a hotspot for my ipad, and now that sucks now too!!

I'm about to trade my Milestone for a brand new Xperia X10a because I'm going to be travelling later this year and I need that 2100MHz band.Can anyone confirm that this phone has the 2100MHz 3G band? Every website I've been to says that it only has 850/1900MHz but others on this board say otherwise.
