I does take 3-5 minutes for every reboot. But you do not do this often, do you? If you ignore the display, it`s on par with SGS2.

There are two files that if you rename using rootexplorer the Sprint activation/search would stop. I think Farookh has posted that in one of his earlier posts. I did and my both Photons lock to GSM network pretty quickly.
first you need to root
rename these 2 files from system/app folder using rootexplorer
SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk
SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex

does TATA INDICOM cdma prepaid sim works on photon????

i loved the phone and appreciate the work motorola ppl have done
Thought of sharing the trouble i went through, with my photon and almost gave me a shock when i couldn't turn on my wifi.
After i updated my photon whenever i turned on wifi it showed error under the wifi tab in settings.
tried lot of aftershock methods of rebooting the phone many a times.removed the battery and it worked for some time but it returned to the same state again.screwed my fingernails removing the battery 4-5 times.as i think photon users know how hard it is removing the back cover of the phone.
Wifi worked only in flight mode
finally went through a number of pages of a thread on the motorola support site and finally found the solution.It seems many ppl had the same issue.
Have an error with WiFi after update

some crap sprintOaDm process was blocking the wifi.as if sprint never wanted ppl to use the phone outside their network.
So without rooting the phone, to remove the sprint processes, the other way to slove the problem is:
Put the phone on flight mode and reboot the phone.
turn on the wifi.
and using some task manager or any other app kill or stop the sprintOaDm process
Wifi now works fine.
However whenever i reboot the phone the process starts again and back to same problem
Bought the phone three weeks backs so don't want to root the phone so soon.So finding an app to kill or auto end the process on reboot.
Moral of the story:update the phone at your risk.

Guys,
Today I bought one box pack photon for 345$.
Its for dad.I know its way too powerful phone for him.
Where do I order case and scratch guard for it?
I went through sprint site.but found all overpriced stuff not like AT&T where you can find deals.
Which one to pick?

I have some scratch guards that I'll put up for sell. For cases you'll have to buy it from ebay.com only. The one available in India are too costly.

Hi,
I will like to post few steps to use RUIM sims (CDMA) on Motorola Photon 4G.
Requirements-
1. QPST
2.Motorola Drivers
3.Photon MSL
Install Drivers- Shutdown Phone-Press Vol Down+Pwer button- select BP Tools-Connect USB cable- Open QPST Configuration -Add Diag Port- Start Client -Service Programming- Select Read from Phone-Enter MSL- Go To - 1x/HDR -Select Lock Mode = Never R-UIM Config = R-UIM Only.Then Goto M.IP - Select Mobile IP Behavoiur = simple IP Only.And Finally Write to Phone.Wait till the phone reboots
Hope these help Photon users to who want to use CDMA sim cards..
Thanks to Farookh,Pratikb and mgdelhi.I have gathered inputs from what they have contributed
