[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simanole:
thank you! i thought that the paragraph right under the change log meant that that kernel was included.

i assume if i have 2.9.2v, all i need to do is flash the kernel zip from sd using CWM without having to change anything else because the new kernel is voodoo and the old kernel supplied with the 2.9.2v kernel is voodoo?

sorry about what seems like a rather simplified response. it's hard to learn the correct information with so much of it out there.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
Just a quick wipe of the "cache partition" for good measure and flash away. And get "voodoo control" and "blinky' or "bln" from the market and play with the new goods. I myself prefer bln pro fwiw.

good day.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simanole:
thanks. you the man!
[Atrix 4G General] TheBouch:
I am trying to update to version 4.1.57 but it fails checking for PerformanceManager.apk in /system/app. I uninstalled this app and lost the backup for it. Would any one be kind enough posting this file?. I need the apk for version 4.1.26. Thank you.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
see if the dump release by designgears is still online. if not, you will need to flash the sbf file to get it unless someone posts the apk
[Atrix 4G General] TheBouch:
I found the dump by designgears. The update went fine after I copied the files (apk and odex) to /system/app using Root Explorer. Thanks for the info! :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey3002:
Apparently my wife decided to unsync her phone from google contacts. I flashed her phone tonight and upped the baseband/pri etc.. so no restoring I am assuming?

Anyway, when I brought her up on Miui, I looked at her contacts and nothing was there.. for some dumb reason she decided to unsync them and now she has nothing.

The question is, I did a nandroid prior, but I updated all the baseband/wimax/pri etc.. Can I view the data.img file somehow to just view/print and then she can type them all in again?

thanks a ton in advance on this stupid one
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
So resync them. They should still be saved to her Gmail. With MIUI you have to manually add your gmail account by going to menu > settings > personal > accounts and sync and then hit add account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey3002:
thats what I am saying, she didnt have them synced, just on her phone which was a different rom prior to miui.

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
There was a thread around here, on how to tear into a nanrdoid backup, and access the data.img. Figures that search is down right now, and i 'should try again in 20-30 minutes'. I think the easiest thing for you to do at this point, would be to just restore the nandroid, re-sync to google, then reinstall the rom you want. Then the contacts should be synced to gmail contacts, and you should be good to go to re sync them to the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
^Implies they were synced at some point. If they were then they should still be in her Gmail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey3002:
They have a restore feature that goes back 30 days but she must have deleted the stuff beyond that.. I am doing a nandroid and updating the myn rom to latest build (due to wimax/bb/pri)

Once I get them backed up and synced... then i will just restore to miui

will post update
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
After you restore your nandroid, export your contacts to SD to have a backup copy of them just in case something like this happens again. That way you can just import them and call it a day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey3002:
or the wife could just stop playing in settings :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey3002:
ok, got the contacts exported.. she has 50+ saved on phone only.. is there an easy way to convert them to google under her account?

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joey3002:
issue resolved.. exported the phone contacts to a vcf file, then inported into her account. I am restoring miui now... I am sure the sync will just push to the phone once its done restoring.

thanks guys
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I think you can upload the exported file as a .CSV to gmail. And then sync the phone with Gmail and they should all be there saved as google contacts.

edit: glad you got it figured out.

Here's 2 alternative browser I like and use...

Miren taken from another forum run great on the gtab (will update once installed)

UC is a great browser as well.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Radon_22:
+1,000 on Miren. It's my browser of choice for Android devices. You can change the settings to allow you to use every inch of your screens real-estate, plus it's fast and intuitive.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bso44:
Curious to know what advantages it has on Dolphin HD.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Mikeg1969:
Is the Miren browser compatible with Flash 10.2?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cu_ninja:
I tried Miren for about an hour but it ran really slow for me. I do like the features and how it renders compared to Dolphin HD. For now speed is my main issue so I'll have to check back on this browser after a few updates and see if it gets better.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] memyselfii:
I really like Skyfire 3.0. Though I haven't figured out how to close individual tabs yet.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rover442:
Can someone tell me how to set MIUI for desktop view? All the sites are coming up mobile.

EDIT: Switched to the Miren Browser and took care of the problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] legosBR:
Hi all, this is my first tread here, i am glad i found this forum.

I am from Brazil and i just got a Unlocked AT&T samsung focus.

The phone is unlocked, all i had to do is insert the sim card and star using it.

I am using a carrier called TIM.

When i go to setting> about it says that the carrier is AT&T

Version: 7.0.7004.0

So my question is: Since i am not using a AT&T simcard but my phone shows that my carrier is AT&T, will i get the updates by the schedule of ATT?

I see on the table "Where's my phone update?" and it says that focous is still testing the updates, so i am guessing that i will be reciving it by the ATT schedule, is this correct?

I did not recived any updates yet, not even the first one, is that normal?

by the way, i dont want to unbrand this phone, unless you guys say that i wont get the updates if i dont.

Thanks alot!
[Windows Phone 7 General] kamikaze_decoy:
That is correct, you will not get updates until AT&T approves them since the device is branded by AT&T.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] _Dennis_:
Ok so I was asked to update this post. Some of the information found throughout the thread is below:

The battery cover can be found at: cnn.cn

(thank you NoNameAtAll from this post)

The cnn.cn part is just the case, no retail packaging (ie. no media dock adapter.)

jjwatmyself in post says that you remove the insert in the car dock and it will fit the atrix with the battery cover.

digital.aaron in post has some pictures with the cover on the phone.

jjwatmyself has some pictures here.

digital.aaron says in this post: it's very different from Otterbox's rubber. It hasn't picked up any fuzz from my pocket, and I've got on fleece sweatpants. Used to be a nightmare for my 'Box'd iPhone.

Some problems people were are having, the sides are flimsy (you get used to this) and the different colors seem to have different textures.

=============OLD POST===========================

I bought the atrix from AT&T and I ordered a ruggedized battery cover from some website for $30 w/ shipping. My question is as I have neither yet, does anyone have the cover and is it good? Does it feel like it will protect the phone a bit and help hold the phone in the hand?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] goscrewsir:
I'd be interested in this too. Asked a while back and it seemed no one has tried them, because there were no responses. I don't want to spend $30 on one if it feels cheap or doesn't fit right
[Atrix 4G Accessories] _Dennis_:
Well, if no one else has tried I already ordered it so when I get both phone and cover in I will update this thread. It might be a while as I am stationed in Japan so my mom will be sending me the phone Tuesday or Wednesday and it may take a week or two to get here.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] _Dennis_:
oh by the way I ordered mine from After market Cellular. Anyone have any dealings with them, are they honest?

This is the specific one I bought:

http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/89490N.html
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phaijai:
I've been looking at one of these batter covers but several sites that I have checked show an estimated ship date or out of stock. Have you received a shipping confirmation for the battery cover yet?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] a320ca:
These are rubberized battery covers and thus replace the stock plastic cover. They are from Motorola and are rumored to be out about April 15th. This is why several places show "out of stock", because they aren't out yet.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] _Dennis_:
I have not recieved a shipping confermation, but the store was not showing them as out of stock r estimated shipping date. Now that a320ca said they are nto supposed to be out until the 15th I am worried that the store is a sham because it never told me that.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phaijai:
FYI, I just called them and they said they are out of stock of the Blue one. She asked if I wanted her to check stock on the Green one but I already knew what the answer would be. Store doesn't appear to be a sham but then again, you might want to look into your order if are expecting it sooner than later.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] noxlord:
I hope there will be pictures of the cover when people get them. I an intensely eyeballing the green one. :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
I've also ordered one, from 123cellsupply.com.

I don't have a shipping confirmation yet, either. I've put in several emails to find out the status, but no response yet.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] GoodFoot:
Does the ruggedized battery cover wrap around the front at all, to provide a small protective lip around the screen?

Has anyone actually seen one of these in person?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bimmerboii:
These are in stock in my local bell store for 29.95. I might consider getting one of these
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
Can you take some photos of them?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] maledyris:
Really? Where's your local Bell? In the GVA by any chance? I ordered one from Bell online, because it didn't seem like there were any in stock in the Bell stores here in Vancouver... Admittedly, I didn't try very hard to find them.

But my order is still pending, turns out they're out of stock online...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Deleted member 2488575:
Can someone show me a link?

I have googled and not found nothing related to what I think you guys are talking about.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
Here's a link. Just found this on Amazon today:

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-8949..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1302157537&sr=1-4
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
Anyone manage to get one of these yet?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
Yes it wraps around the entire phone
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
They do look nice.... but to be honest, if it's actually silicon.... i dunno if i'd want it. That's basically my issue with the Otterbox cases. That outside cover attracts dust from alternate dimensions of your pocket. I can't imagine what the rugged battery cover might look like if it's the same material.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] vin791:
i want!! thats simply awesome. i wish amazon had green dangit
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Myeeek:
I ordered one from Amazon, but there's about a 1-2month delay. Then I ordered one from cnn.cn and was shipped recently. I love the protection that my otterbox defender case provides, but I hate the bulk.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
amazon orders wont be shipping, no orders except cnn,cn will be shipping
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
After having owned this back cover for a few days, Im fine with it. The "furry leaf" feel on the blue was a little weird, so I switched to the green case, which was more of a soft touch feel.

Yes, the sides are a little annoying, but its not *that* bad.

Yes, it doesnt snap in, but this case is not going to be falling off the phone anytime soon.

Yes, its annoying that we dont have replacement plates for the docks, and its a little harder to place the phone in the dock without one, but its not *that* bad.

All in all, I like the protection the case gives, and I can understand why motorola decided to ditch this.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
Hey fury leaf guy, your right, its not that bad, galaxy 2 coming out in few months
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Myeeek:
Oh wow I had high hopes since it's supposely a genuine case. I guess I'll really see if I like it when it get delievered.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
This case was my idea of the perfect case, now I must accept fact that the Atrix will never have it.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
it is a "genuine" motorola case. The reason why it doesnt have the packaging and/or the dock plates is because cnn.cn probably struck a deal to buy a ****-ton from some chinese manufacturer that made these before the box and plates were finalized.

Trust me, the quality is 100x better than any **** chinese case youve bought on ebay before.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Mine will be here today. I've been using the best case available (Seidio, not dock friendly) for over a week now. Except for the dock situation, it is perfect. Whatever deficiencies the elusive M one has, will SCREAM OUT at me. If the M is a failure, dock construction for the Seidio begins this weekend.....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
Eager to see how this goes. :)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Funny how after all the hype that a rash of disappointment is making its rounds now.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
probly why motorola didnt want it to see the light of day and only a factory full of chinese have it, they probly selling 1/2 and eating the rest
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
anyone that got the case have the official car dock?

Im thinking about buying one, but only if it fits with the rugged case without the plate on the dock
[Atrix 4G Accessories] gigafast:
I just got mine today. I am pleased with the blue cover and overall quality. I really need the HD dock insert. I removed the insert for the HD dock but the phone feels flimsy only being supported by the ports.

The case fits into the laptop dock after removing the insert.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
That's the only reason I bought one. As I've said before, LOVE my Seidio case. Mine should be sitting in it's car dock in a few hours....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
oh ok, cool, let us know!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Just got mine, it's "ok". I'll try it for a few days. I can easily see M not wanting these on their "Baby"....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
does it fit in the car dock?!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
It fits fine. There was a picture of this earlier in the thread, gone now? For $11, not bad. For a "manufacturers" $600 phone official accessory, = NOT going to market. I can post some pictures and +- later. I'll have at least 8 on Ebay by tomorrow night....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] digital.aaron:
I have the official car dock and the case fits fine after the insert is removed. I had included pics earlier in the thread.

EDIT: Check page 11
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
Everyone who owns the ruggedized battery cover, if you had to give it a rating out of 10, what would you give it?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
8 for idea, 2 for execution = 5
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Phone like this without a case? That's on you. TPU cases can be had for $3 (China), $6 domestically. In time your score will drift closer to mine (5). Did you notice that the phone just kinda "sits" in the case, rather than attaching to?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
That's why my review is titled "First Impressions Review". ;)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
I'll be working on a dock for my Seidio case this weekend. As the silicone stretches (at all) this case will go down hill FAST. As is, if you grab the phone in a certain way, the case starts to come off. My score of 5 was 8 for the idea, and 2 for the execution. We liked the idea, but will have to live with the execution.

M made the right decision with this, but should have done the multiple inserts with the car dock. It's the only dock I have. I hear mention of thick/thin inserts with the other docks. This would have made our lives easier. Even the #$% TPU cases are far better than these cases.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
is there any way to harden the rubber using chemicals (legal or illegal)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Hardening this stuff would lead to it cracking (being SO thin). I'm going to work on my new dock in parallel with using the current set up. We'll see how fast the badness happens with it. Pockets tend to be the enemy of silicone case. The in and out accelerate the stretching. As you can tell, I really don't like the silicone cases of any configuration.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
UPDATE: TPU cases on Ebay $3 US less than $2 off shore. That's with shipping.

JJW, you should order now before the "stretching" gets ya....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
my initial impression was a 6 because my case literally felt like fuzzy mold/furry leaf. But I tried the green one and it felt like it should, soft touch rubber. My score went from a 6 to a 7 or 8 and so far, I've had no problems with fitting, and the sides.

Like one user suggested, get the thin, double-sided tape and put it around the sides of the phone. The sides havent been that much of a bother to me to do that yet.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Let us know in a week or two. You'll see why M abandoned these.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:

[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:

[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Dude!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
Love how you had to mention Furry Leaf guy.... and also how you had to pick up the blue one off the floor just so you could throw it onto the floor again. haha
[Atrix 4G Accessories] badnokia:
It doesn't seem to snap in place either. I had expected it to snap in place more like the stock battery cover.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] dezzo77:
I didn't realize until watching shanghei's video that the top cover of the Standard/Multimedia HD Dock came off to allow a little extra room for the phone when wearing a case. Though Im not going to fully unpack my dock until I get it replaced, because for some reason it arrived smelling very strongly of mildew or something. Horrible.

I've been using a TPU case on my Atrix, and love it.

The one I got is from www tpu-cases . com

(I'm too new to post links apparently)

It's a nice glossy black and it fits very snugly and the material definitely seems stiffer than silicone based cases I've seen. The glossy black matches the phone beautifully. It looks like it's a genuine part of the phone. It does collect fingerprints like the rest of the phone, but they wipe off easily.

It also doesn't collect lint or stick to your pocket.

I know there are lots of TPU cases out there on eBay from China and whatnot, but I don't know how they compare to the one I bought from the link above in quality or appearance. But I'm loving this one so far, and it really makes the phone a lot easier to hold as opposed to the original greased bar of soap feel that it had. No idea for certain how it works with the docks, but it's still a damn nice case regardless.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
TPU is TPU. Don't think you can really screw up that badly with the case. And if it were possible, you'd probably hear about it. I have an eBay TPU case... and i recently bought a Pure Gear snap-on case.... but might be going back to the TPU. The only issue is that after taking the TPU case off my phone... it seems that somehow the argyle printing on the inside rubbed off onto my phone or something.... so now my battery cover has a very faint argyle-print.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Get A TPU for cheap, Seidio for real. No case = BADNESS, just ask JJW.....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
the front sides, and docking
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jjwatmyself:
Are there any products that would brush or spray on to add a stiffer layer of material at the front edge?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
Yeah, it's called "re-design"....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] badnokia:
Redesign is right; or a different vendor who can do a better job with production. I love the concept, I love how the back feels in my hand, but I cannot stand how the edges if the case won't stay up around the screen properly. I'm going to go back to my stock cover & Incipio Feather. Kind of a bummer.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] TimmyJo:
FINALLY, someone with common sense. Tape, glue, staples, etc., are not our responsibility. This case will only get worse over time, but the concept is great. I'm using mine until it gives up first. Last night I got an idea how to make a car dock for my PERFECT Seidio case. I'll try to get on that asap, but I'm swamped with work right now.

Has anyone noticed a slow (maybe nonexistent) charging while in the car dock?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
Yep, there's a couple threads here about the car dock and charging issues. I have found that it comes down to heat/sunlight on the phone without a case, and heavy GPS usage combined.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
yeah, theres a thread about the slow/crappy charging of the car dock in the accessories forum.

Basically, when it gets to a certain temp, it will stop charging to cool down - problem is that it probably wont cool down enough if youre using GPS, music, etc and when its mounted on the window. If you plugged in the charger directly, I dont believe you have this problem. This also happens in the multimedia dock after a certain extended time of browsing.

I bought a car vent Garmin mount which *should* work with the moto car dock for like $5 on ebay. Ill let you know if it works. Whats nice with my car vent is when auto climate control is on, when AC is on, it blows through the vent the dock is mounted on, but when the heater is on, it doesnt go through that vent.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] shanghei:
I bought the same mount, mounting to window is so dumb with sunlight right on it, hopefully I get before this guy so I can tell you whether it works or not
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ranova:
I wish I could punch you through the monitor
