Motorola Photon 4G :: Indicator Light Doesn't Work
Dec 9, 2011
Since I bought my Photon earlier this week, I immediately noticed that the indicator light didn't, well, indicate. Anything, ever, at all. It didn't even light up when charging. I know this is not a burned-out LED because I've installed an app which fixes most of the problems, the app is called Light Flow. Its only limitations on the Photon are that it can't light the indicator for battery charge events/status, and it may not be able to show all the colors, but I do have it working for missed call/text, email, bluetooth on, etc. The issue is, I shouldn't need an app to do this and I want the indicator LED to show battery charge status.
This is a stock, non-rooted phone.

I have tried to transfer my music from my computer to my phone (Motorola Photon Q) and it tells me that it cannot play them. They are a MP3 format. I've tried with both my internal storage and my sd card. If MP3 format doesn't work, then what format does the music need to be for me to be able to play it on my phone?

My touchscreen frequently doesn't register my input in either swype or normal modes. This seems to happen primarily when searching contacts. Swype may show the word suggestion but it never appears in the search window. The only solution seems to be shutting down and removing the battery. Just restarting doesn't work. Neither does switching input methods.

My girlfriend has a problem with her blackberry torch. Last night her phone felled out of her bed (20cm.). Well, there wasn't any weird behavior. WASN'T! Because after a few hours her phone displayed "Your battery is low and your phone will turn off", but the indicator in the right corner said it was charged for 60%, After rebooting and a factory reset nothing changed. Sometimes it works for a few minutes, and then it shut down again.

You unplug your phone after charging it but the indicator still shows as though the phone is still connected to the charger. The only way to get this back to normal again is to power cycle the phone. Plugging it back in and unplugging it again will not make it go away once this has happened.

Own 2 Photons, both show roaming indicator and comparable numbers of bars (in a given spot) while in a Verizon (CDMA) area. One phone can make/receive calls and has 3G service and the other one can't 99.9% of the time. All relevent phone settings (domestic roaming/ data enabled, PRL/profile updates, etc.) are identical on both phones. In all other respects, both phones operate the same and without problems. Is this a Sprint network issue or a Moto phone issue?

I've had a problem, and hoped the update would fix it, but it didn't.Not a major thing, but I subscribe to the $30 Sprint wireless hotspot service.It seems to be okay when in 4g. But, it seems like when I'm in 3g, and I end the hotspot (uncheck the box), the notification of it being active stays in the notification bar.It's uncertain if the hotspot is still running. The only way to clear it from the notification bar is to power off/on the phone.

The feature i miss the most from my droid 2 days is the little indicator light to know that the phone is charging... I realize that light was left off this phone and moved to the caps lock key. But wondering if there was a way of turning in the indicator light when the phone is charging like when i get a notification that i have a text message. My Wifes incredible 2 indiciator light turns red when it is charging and i beleive turns white when it is finished. Its just a lot easier for me to look at my phone and see it is charging vs having to unlock my phone to see if it is charging or see it on the lock screen. Sometimes my charges becomes unplugged and i was always quick to know with the droid 2 that it had happend. vs waking up the next morning with my droid 4 thinking it was charging and nothing all along. Is there a feature i'm missing or is it possible to have this in an upcoming update?

When I plug in my Xoom tablet for charging, the unit will blink the indicator light if it's powered down, or the "Charging (xx%)" and lightning bolt on the battery icon will blink when powered on. It also takes a longer time then normal to charge.

I have a lapdock 100 with a Motorola Photon phone. It was working good for a while and today, it just won't turn on. It won't even charge the phone. The battery indicator light/button won't even blink or anything. I tried switching outlets and it won't charge the lapdock.

When I plugged in my blackberry to the wall charger to charge, the indicator light will light up red for a few seconds then shut off, then it will light up again then shut off, keeps doing this, does this mean it is charging? I left it charging over night and tried to turn it on in the morning but it was still completely dead. Sometimes the charger has problems making a connection, and usually I can see when that is happening from the lightening bolt sign when the phone is on So I'm wondering if it was just because it wasn't making a connection before that it didn't charge and if the red light on and off indicates that it is charging or not?

i'm having is that although the light sensor seems to be functioning according to various sensor tests, brightness isn't automatically adjusting and the "in-pocket protection" thing isn't turning the phone off when I stick it in my pocket.

On firmware v22.014. The Keyboard light doesn't work on power saver mode (or low brightness settings). I tried to use 'Brightness Control' app.. It doesn't work to my satisfaction. But its better than nothing.

The compass on my phone does not work, No matter which direction the phone is facing, it indicates that direction is north. This is true in every app tried so far (Compass, Google maps, Google sky map). The x,y,z values for magnetic field vary in the AndroSensor app as I move the phone around leaving open the possibility that it is a software rather than a device issue. If it is software, I'd think it would be a common problem. The fact that there is no discussion indicates maybe it is just my device.So, my question to this Forum is: Do others have this problem, ie is it common and software related?I prefer to avoid the hassle of setting up a new replacement device (love the Photon), but if it is just my device,

I've noticed that the voice input feature for text messaging (which I REALLY like!) sometimes appears to disable or something, all on its own, and when you attempt to utilize it again, it won't engage. Is there a toggle switch for this somewhere?

Droid Turbo (Android Version 5.1) - WIFI works fine at home and seems to work other places. I have been using it for months at work. Recently I cannot connect. Other people can still connect. I had the connection saved...but even tried deleting it and researching, but it won't locate the server.

I have my search function configured to show apps, but when I do a search apps don't actually show up (most of the time) unless I hit the button in the search dialog and then select Apps. Other search types (e.g., contacts) seem to work fine.

When ever I leave my house and go out of Wi/Fi range my phone does not access the internet. Even when I have full bars it doesnt work. Its not a sprint thing either because my parents phones and my frinds phones that are Sprint work just fine.

I am trying to find a way to disable the red indicator light for calls. I use a call block app but each time a call is blocked the red indicator light flashes. The light continues to flash until I do a hard reset.
Is there anyway to disable the indicator light completely?
I have changed LED indicator settings in all the profiles to off.
