Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster haha!
Well recently I don't know what happened but for some reason my photon (stock rom + root) is not supporting hdmi anymore. Before I could plug it into my appradio or flat screen with a micro hdmi cable and the display would be mirrored. Now, when I plug it in, the screen will rotate horizontally, but that's it, no mirror display, or even a signal on the other displays. I checked the cable by plugging in my tablet and it showed up just fine.
Anyone have any thoughts on a possible fix for this?

So no new app installs? Anything else change on the phone?
Can you do a backup and hard reset, just to rule it out?
I'm not too sure as to how to do that with this phone. I did the one click root method to get my SU fix. Number one use of hdmi is my main source of entertainment from my appradio

So after you rooted it stopped working...?
I'm confused. Please provide more detail.
Either way, I would be curious if a hard reset fixes it.
I've been rooted for a few months now, just earlier this week I plugged the phone in and nothing happenned. So I tried it on my big screen ans same thing, the screen just rotates horizontally and doesn't send video out. However I plugged in my tablet on both the radio and the head unit with that same hdmi cable and everything showed up clear. Seems strange that this happens all of a sudden. I use a air blower at 50 psi to blow out the port and the plug to see if it was just dirty, but nope.

What was the result of a hard reset? That would rule out any software issues.
That's my issue, I don't know how to do a hard reset on the photon :/

So i figured it out, did a hard reset and nothing. Just noticed now that for some reason my bluetooth headset wont stream the phone call? Wierd.

Well, in TWRP it's really stupid simple...
I assume you don't have TWRP, so I guess FXZ is your only option to hard reset? Maybe there's some way to do it with the stock recovery, but I have no clue how.
Are you sure you hard reset it? The phone was wiped, started fresh like it was day 1 with none of your info on it?
Maybe you should just take the device to your provider's store and see if there is something actually wrong with it... since I can't see the device or what you're doing to it, all I can do is speculate.
I took it to my local radioshack and they gave me a pamphlet with a number to call :/

Since when is Radio Shack your provider?
(For example) If you have insurance through Sprint, take it to a Sprint store - which is a repair store - look on their site to find one. Not all stores are repair facilities.
Well you see.......long story short, I used to be an assistant manager for one back in january, that's when I got my photon q and their insurance for free. I've gone to all the corporate sprint stores and all of them want a $35 down payment since I don't have sprints insurance.

They offer their own insurance...? I guess it's not very useful tho? That's unfortunate, but I guess that's why it's free....
Its $10 a month for customers but for employees we got it free with phone activation

Went to the corporate store and they were nice enough to just swap out the device since they had a large inventory of it. Brought it home, did the ota update, unlocked it, and installed twrp recovery and super user. Plus got my hdmi back! I asked about the jb 4.2 update and the rep just said he hadn't heard of anything......so now I'm just looking around for a good stable rom

With other phones I had, there were scripts to wipe the eds/radio/GPS partitions in between roms and it made sure that you would not have data problems and it kept everything fast. Has anyone or could anyone make us one?

OMG go figure. Literally hours after posting this my data is now busted. Wifi works mobile only works intermittently. With other phones this was almost ALWAYS fixed by wiping the aforementioned partitions. Is everyone just ignoring me or do we have so little dev left that no one in the know has seen the OP?

ROMs for this device don't flash the radio. If you zeroed out the radio you F'd up your phone something good. Nobody has figured out how to reflash the radio on this device. Also, we never touch EFS. That is a big no-no and another way to F'up your phone. Sounds like you nuked it something good.

I have the same thing, where it is not showing my phone number in the about phone. I also have to reset the radio at-least once a day to get data back. (Go to airplane mode and back) The cell works fine though... Weird, never had this problem with original GB rom. There must be another cache partition that needs clearing?
that, I have no idea but my girl had data problem for 2wks now and no rep seemed to know the answer.. I had 3 replacement phones for her and nothing, 2 new sim cards nothing.. My last option of my own was to change number, and guess what.. It works now. By the way, problem was data would stop, browser would redirect me to web2go and say I have no data plan and 1.99 charge to continue. just a reboot would fix it but its a hassle. Well, changing numbers helped.. Something deffinetly went wrong with that other line or something.

So this morning I go to use my phone and there's no network, no SMS or any phone calls working at all. Wifi and the phone itself work great. Rebooted numurous times, factory reset, even flashed the fxz, so at that point i took it to AT&T thinking it might be a bad sim but its fine. AT&T guy had no clue what was wrong. I'm looking for help here, and sorry if this had been posted elsewhere I can't find it, I just don't wanna up with a refurbished phone.

It sounds like a hardware issue to me. Flashing the fxz would've fixed any software issues.

Did you make sure data was enabled? I dunno...just a quick thought...
Sounds like refurbished phone time. Here's two questions. I'm under my one year which covers the refurbished warranty through AT&T, but I pay for best buy insurance. If I use AT&T will that void my best buy warrenty because the IMEI number won't match my best buy receipt? So its either AT&T and get a refurbished device or best buy and I could possibly wait a month to get my phone back??

In response to the OP, you might try to bring the adapter up or reset it. It's a long shot, but I've seen it bring up a seemly dead adapter.
Code:
adb shell
ifconfig
See if it shows your wireless adapter (tiwlan0), if it does, try to bring the adapter down then back up again.
Code:
ifconfig tiwlan0 down
ifconfig tiwlan0 up
Toggle airplane mode or reboot, and hopefully your adapter is back to normal.

Got my new phone finally. Came with 2.3.6 pre-installed. I ended up losing my smsc #. Everything worked but text. Had to get the smsc from AT&T now everything's great other then the phone is acting somewhat weird at times. FC's and a little freezing here and there. It booted directly up. I didn't have to wait for it to install the OS. I'm thinking flashing the fxz might fix whatever is going on. I cleared the dalvik cache, data and cache but no luck. Any input would be appreciated. Thanx

Now the stupid thing won't send or recieve MMS. it just hangs and eventually tells me to re-try. Anybody know a fix for this?
MMS is most likely an APN issue, double check your apns or have your provider give you the proper settings. Could be an issue with the mms.apk, but I wouldn't consider it until I was certain my apns were correct. I know MMS won't send over wifi, so everything points to apn. I hope that helps.
What can I do? Am I stuck with my current Rom for good? I like to switch back and forth to roms but now I only have 2 more left wth. Are you worried about your limit now?

I just deleted 6 about a week ago. I would be amazed if google, what with previously being fairly public about wanting manufacturers to leave their roms unlocked, would impose a limit per year unless they made a way for those new roms to be detected as the same device...
IMEI? or is there some range of privacy concerns or technical issues related to this?
I heard this news yesterday and tried it out myself, I was able to deactivate 6 devices no problem, so either they switched it back or they haven't changed my account's limit yet, but try to deactivate them now, there's no downside. Either they haven't changed your account yet, or they have and you are using up your four now, as opposed to when you need to.

hopefully either they will abandon this strategy (and not make it go the way of google movies) or they'll come up with a very clever way of getting around it.
I personally re-downloaded my entire collection and am back to storing them on my microSD card - less data to use, and no more worrying about activating/deactivating too many devices.

I've had a problem with my skyrocket for quite some time now. No matter which radio, ROM, or kernel I use the data will be hit and miss and so won't phone calls and messaging. I've already had one skyrocket replaced because of this issue and even got a replacement SIM card to no avail. I get full bars of H+ service. I've tried adding different APNs as well. The AT&T store is obviously stumped (they are basically worthless) and phone support is no better. I was wondering if anyone knew of this problem and what caused it or a way to fix it.

I will take it to them and try to get a replacement or a different phone. I got my first one within the 30 day return period but I have had my current phone for about two months. I also forgot to mention that if I throw it against the wall or smack it against my hand, the message will usually go through. Now, I don't usually go throwing my electronics around haha. I only did this after it started happening and that always seemed to make it work.

Ok, so I have tried about everything I can think of so far. All of a sudden I have no data service on Sprint in multiple markets. I sometimes get 1x, but it only lasts for a minute or so. At times when I have 1x for a little bit, I have updated my profile/prl. Still nothing. I've done 2 factory resets now, and have flashed the factory images twice as well.
Here are some pics from #*#*DATA

If there is anything you can think of, let me know. The Sprint store has hours that don't work for me tomorrow. But will take it in there on Monday.
I do have my MSL so I can change things if need be.
Thanks!

That's weird. Try playing with your APNs. I had to reset mine. Also have you tried LTE only or a new SIM?

Sounds like the provisioning didn't take. Try using the dialer code: ## 72786# or *#*#72786#*#* to reprovision the handset.
Will try that now. Also went to the sprint store and dropped it off. They couldn't get it, and ordered me a replacement. I'm sure it's a refurbished, seeing as how I bought mine thru sprint. Hopefully its not crap. But this will give me something to mess around with for the time being. Thanks so much!
