How to charge the Photon 4G while using the kickstand

1. Wowwww I feel dum but good tip

2. Use at your own risk!! I had to do a recovery because it bricked my phone! Ha! Just kidding! It's common sense guys, I've been doing this since I've had the phone. Very poor design Motorola. I think they were too hyped up on the idea of the Docking Station than just simple charging. Sounds to me like that's their idea of profiting more from their customers.

3. @cretemonsta LOL right? "good job guys!"

4. lmao!!! :O Asome/!!!! jajaj

5. @ICQueen713 its possible for more HD Dock sales but only they'll know…

6. ABSOLUTELY GENIUS!!! lmao

7. It should be on the bottom of the phone like the EVO

8. Come on Motorola Engineering 101… Do a simple 3 week DFMEA (Design Failure Mode Error Analysis). Or even if you want to be real lazy give the phone to a few college kids for a month and let them text you what they found. Come on…

9. Booyah!!!!!!!!

10. LoL, well that worked out. But another reason I like my EVO 4G… all the ports and kickstand placed appropriately.

11. You're standing it wrong.

12. @washnmcr the photon is a very great durable quality bulid its actually better then EVO 3d I took my 3e back Its a ugly phone og EVO looks better .but I will have this or galaxy s II

13. @mak450 Good point. I hadn't thought of that. I think you are right. It's a subtle way to drive people to their docking options.

14. Friggin awesome! Lol. I have this and was disappointed about not charging with the stand out. Thanx

15. For those that don't believe it's in the manual, you can read for yourself. Just search for photon user guide manual.
    Quote directly form the manual:
    "If you need to plug an HDMI or micro USB cable into
    your phone while it is resting on the kickstand, you can
    also rotate the phone and rest it with the micro USB
    and HDMI connectors on the top."

    Looks like someone needs to follow standard forum guidlines and RTFM!…hahahaha

16. Motorola says this can be done CLEARLY in their manual!…LOL..You can even stand the phone up vertically!…That's not a fix from the forums, it was Motorola!

17. Hey there everybody, Phil here from Androidcentraldotcom

18. @ecrouch77 Seems to me like it's one of two things, and eitherway a deliberate decision: They made it this way and didn't care knowing it would help make a case for their docks, or the arrived somehow at the conclusion that people just wouldn't care and would just lay it flat. Then again they put those ports there on everything they make, so maybe it was just a lack of foresight in the early design stages.

19. That's a nice work around for the time being but the hinge will quickly lose the rigidity required to maintain the weight of the phone and the power cord. What do you all think? Can Motorola make a simple hardware change to fix this or do we just deal with it?

20. Luls. I will be grabbing this or the GS2 I care more about processor then 3D which is a waste

21. Maybe that's really how the kickstand is supposed to be used 😛

22. Lol.

23. Lol
