    SSH connection via USB?

    No, but I have managed to make do. I have the "Wifi Tether" app, and connect to the phone with my iPad, which is more portable, and also doesn't require me to connect through the corporate network at lunch. It gives me a larger-than-phone-screen sized display area, and, of course, the iPad...

    Photon 4g Extended Batteries?

    I just received mine this week. Charged it up for the first time overnight, and am still over 70% after three days of moderate use - email, gReader, Usenet, daily alarm and a little browser use, plus turning the phone off at night. It was a bit pricey at USD $99, but so far I like it. Mark...

    Anybody try the 3500mah battery for the Photon yet?

    I just bought the 3600 from a company in Hong Kong called Mugen Power, for USD $99. Installed and charged up overnight for the first time, and I'm still above 70% going into the third day, with only moderate use - email, Usenet, gReader+, daily alarm and the occasional use of the browser, and...

    SSH connection via USB?

    Thanks for the response. I don't really NEED SSH to my Photon, but am experimenting and seeing if I can do this. What I really want is to access it via a terminal on my PC, via USB - I suppose I can use adb shell and/or photon-torpedo shell for this. I'm not really sure whether I need to go...

    SSH connection via USB?

    Got a new Photon 4G. Rooted it. Added SSHDroid Pro and SuperUser. After I start SSHDroid, I connect to the PC with a USB cable, and start up PuTTY or Tunelier on the PC. With PuTTY, all I get is a command window with a green cursor. No prompt for login or anything. When I use Tunnelier, I get...

    nook color on Photon 4G mobile hotspot?

    What are the steps to get a Nook Color to have internet access via the Mobile Hotspot? I have tried starting Mobile Hotspot with and without Wifi activated, with and without 4G activated, and have tried changing channels. I have set up the Nook as a recognized device on the Photon. In the...

    Have Photon Questions? Ask 'em here

    Re: WHERE is the micro SD card slot? - RESOLVED RESOLVED! Yes, the little chrome rectangle IS the microSD receptacle. Stopped by the Sprint store tonight, and the clerk slipped it right in for me. Thank you for your patience with me on this question. Over the past 30+ years, I have never had...

    Have Photon Questions? Ask 'em here

    Re: WHERE is the micro SD card slot? Hmmm. Well, it's not under the battery like a previous (EVO?) phone had.All I can think of is that maybe the little chrome rectangle is somehow the microSD receptacle on the upper right in this image...

    Have Photon Questions? Ask 'em here

    Re: WHERE is the micro SD card slot? When I try that, a thin piece of black plastic comes loose, which appears to be have been glued on over another chrome object. Are you SURE of this? I suppose I should just stop by the Sprint store and let THEM break things instead of doing it myself...

    Have Photon Questions? Ask 'em here

    WHERE is the micro SD card slot? Okay, this may be a stupid question, but I cannot find a slot either externally or internally for a micro SD card on my Sprint Photon. The PDF at http://support.sprint.com/global/pdf/user_guides/motorola/motorola_photon/photon_by_motorola_ug.pdf, on page 60...

    Motorola Photon 4G default sdcard folder

    Where IS the micro SD slot location for the Sprint Photon? I've got the battery cover off, and don't see it, and there certainly doesn't appear to be one one externally. Thanks, Mark Edwards
