Motorola Photon 4G :: Get App2SD To Use MicroSD?
Mar 6, 2012
I have a Motorola Photon 4G (MB855) and some how the Media Area (Storage) is full and is causing me all kinds of headaches. I have a 32GB Class 10 MicroSD Card in my phone but none of my Apps can see it. Under "Managing Applications" I can only move between Application Storage and Media Area; not to the actual MicroSD Card!If I put videos or music on thr MicroSD CArd, I have launch them through the File Manager and none of the cover art or anything loads because the Music And Video Apps are confused as to where the media is coming from and it has caused other problems during playback!Is there anyway to consolidate (un-partition) the internal NAND Flash Memory? Or at least configure the phone to use the MicroSD Card instead of the Media Area?

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.

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?

I just read on PCWorld that the Droid 3 comes with 16GB of internal memory, and that's it. No microSD card slot, and no 32GB version of the Droid 3. What's up with that? I currently am using 20GB on my Droid, and I can't upgrade to a phone that only allows me 16GB. The iPhone even has a 32GB version. Is PCWorld correct? I can't verify this on Verizon Wireless' site or even Motorola's, as Motorola doesn't have the phone listed in their store yet! url...

I just bought a Motorola VE 440. I downloaded some music to my micro SD card, put it in my phone and if I go to Settings --> Storage Device-->Memory Card-->Ringtones & Sounds--> and open the Music forlder where I saved the music to I can see it. However, when I go to Music Player, I get a message that says "MicroSD does not contain supported music files." What do I need to do in order to make them supported so that I can listen to the music?

I regularly lose song files on the 32GB MicroSDHC card (Class 10) in my Atrix 2. They disappear without a trace, and without notice of any kind. I've been checking my music directory regularly with a file explorer app, and I've noticed that they tend to disappear whenever minor changes are made to the SD card (mounting/unmounting the card, connecting to my PC, adding new files to the card, revising existing files, etc.). I've tried using different SD cards, different PC connection methods (MotoHelper and USB Mass Storage), but nothing seems to work.
Is Android 2.3.5 not reading the card properly? I don't see the point of using an SD card with this phone if I can't guarantee that the files will stay accessible.

Why are none of the Applications installed via Market using the MicroSD as storage instead of the Internal Memory. I bought a 32GB MicroSD card, so that I wouldn't have to worry about storage issues, but that turned out to be a negative. All the applications I've installed; Evernote, GoogleDoc, Dropbox, etc (Which I use EVERY App Daily for work) are storing downloaded/cached files to the internal phone memory instead of the MicroSD. I ever tried moving the Applications to the MicroSD, but they still continue to use the Internal Memory.

I would like to expand the storage in my Razr HD (Australia - using Telstra 4G Network).I am looking to buy a Sandisk 32Gb class 10 microSD card - just wondering if this is known to work with these phones? If not, which make/models do work? Does the speed of the microSD card make much difference when used with the Razr HD's? I see Sandisk also have a 16Gb 95Mbps microSD card which is quite a bit more expensive, but is it worth it?

I have a 32gb class 4 ScanDisk MicroSD card for my Droid Razr M. Everything was fine until sometime yesterday (I think).I noticed this morning that my morning wake-up alarm was not what I had set it to, but was a generic sound. I checked the settings and all my "custom" ringtones were missing. I then went to the files app & saw that the SD card read "0.00 GB available." Clicked on it and it says "SD card not found. Please check that SD card is properly inserted and mounted." Funny, seeing as I haven't removed the card since I got the phone & it was working just fine up to this point. I've tried using a card reader to plug into my desktop & the computer doesn't even recognize that there is a card in the reader. I'd hate to do it but it looks like I might need to reformat the card thereby losing all of my pictures & music. The problem is that neither my phone nor my computer see the card.

Yesterday, saw message that Verizon had OTA ICS on my phone...said upgrade would talk 15 minutes and reboot.45 minutes later, all I see is emergency dialer. time to power down and reboot...still just emergency dialer. Called verizon support...after a couple more reboots, tech says do factory reset. This works (although after downloading all my apps during the day, the phone, when rebooted to try to fix the microSD issue, went back into Emergency Dial only mode and I did yet another factory reset...ugggghhh!.)o after perusing the forums, I find that the encryption key is genereated using the MEID (by default, I don't remember which I used when I set the encryption, not that it matters). and is stored on that nice internal storage that gets wiped during the factory reset. So now, the ICS Razr will not mount the microSD card (I am sure, based on the other forums I have visited, that my data is in a better, unusable, place).

I just bought my wife the Razr Maxx HD phone. She had an HTC Thunderbolt with a 32gb microSD card containing music and photos. So, when we got her new phone, I put that microSD card into it. The phone found the music instantly, but it did not find any of the photos on the microSD card. I was able to find the photos on the card through the file explorer app on the phone located in a DCIM folder, but I cannot figure out how to get the phone to "see" and upload them to the phone's library.

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 am able to use PPTP VPN over 4G without problems. However if I disconnect. Then turn off 4G. Wait a minute or two or even overnight. Then try to connect the PPTP VPN over 3G it fails. So, does PPTP VPN work over Sprint 3G?Initial research: I have read on some old posts that VPN over Sprint 3G is not supported from smart phones, only wireless modems. Some of the VPN problems were also caused by earlier versions of the android linux. Is it possible to use VPN over Sprint 3G from a Photon? If not does PPTP VPN work on other Sprint phones?

I am going to buy the unlocked Photon 4G to be used outside US, but a lot of reviews tell that some OTA updates came out recently which fixed minor issues added some functionalities, the question is "Can the unlocked Photon 4G be updated outside US?"Will i be able to update my Photon here in Asia?

When I take my phone out of the car dock, the car app won't close.
I couldn't find a car app in the app manager, so I tried to manually close anything that might be the car app. Still no good. home button on the phone automatically goes the car app when the app is active.

I have had a Motorola Photon for a few months now and I love it........until now.I plugged my phone in last night before I went to bed and the screen turned on, which told me the phone was charging. I woke up this morning and found that my phone was at 20% battery life and hadn't charged all night. I walked downstairs and tested the phone on another wall charger I have and it did not work either. I then plugged it into my computer and viola, my phone starts charging. On the way to work, I plugged the phone into my car charger and the phone would still not receive a charge but the screen would turn on. I got to work, where I just happen to sell phones, and tested a different Photon battery from a demo phone to see if that was the issue. To no avail, my phone still didn't charge. When I plug my phone in with an A/C charger, the screen turns on but the phone does not accept a chargeWhen I plug the phone into a USB cable connected to my Macbook Pro, the phone charges with no problems.
