[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legion21:
To start off, i'm running gingerblur and i use the alarm on my phone almost every night. I also leave my phone on vibrate most of the time. The problem i am having is that i will go to bed with my phone in vibrate mode but when i take it off the charger in the morning (after the alarm goes off) it turns my ringer back on. Granted its usually at the lowest volume but still i would like for it to stay in vibrate mode. Is there a way to do this?

Also is there a way to go completely into silent mode by pressing the volume keys? It would be nice if i could just press volume down once in vibrate mode and it would change to silent mode.

Thanks in advance.

Few days ago my i dropped n broke touchscreen but it works, lcd is in good shape

so i ordered touchscreen n opened mobile till lcd n i found out my hd 2 is European version and touch screen which i bought was t-mobile version,

now i want to buy lcd+touchscreen already assembled coz not want to mesh with welding touchscreen with lcd

so guys i need your help is it possible to buy t -mobile version of lct+ touchscreen assembly, coz if i will break touchscreen again it will be easier to change touchscreen in t mobile version

guys help me
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry but not really sure of what you are asking here. are you wanting to buy a LCD screen and digitizer already connected? If this is what you are wanting then yes you can buy them in a combo where they are already together. The only deference between the European combo and the T-Mobile combo is the European combo has to be soldered to the main board and the T-Mobile combo does not. If you do a search in this forum you might find several threads that are very informative on this, I have one that come to mind but it is probably way back in the pages of this forum.
[Atrix 4G General] photobillyli:
In order to be more focusing on this display problem of Atrix, I started this new post. And I hope every user who encounters this problem can leave a reply here.

Summary of the problem:

Wherever you touch on the screen, if you touch on the exact same spot for more than around 20 seconds, the touching signal will be lost. You have to retouch onto the screen to have the response back. You can identify the problem through some apps called "multitouch test" as they can visualize your touch but this problem is not related to multitouch.

On daily use, this is not a problem because you can hardly keep touching on the same position for more than 20 seconds. However, it is very annoying while you are playing games with atrix. For example, minisquadron, gun bros and Guerrilla Bob. These games require you keep touching the same position so as to "FIRE" a gun. You will notice your gun stop firing after sometime even though you are still holding the fire button.

For fixing the problem, I have sent a few emails to motorola and made a call with motorola. Finally I just received an aceptable reply:

I hope they really working on fixing the problem. However, if you do have the same problem, I really hope that you can also send Motorola a email reporting having this bug so as to give pressure on Motorola.

Thank you for your attention.

[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
so this thread is just for people that have the bug to post? if so then I have it with my Bell atrix
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
This explains a problem I'm been having when browsing. I always use landscape mode and when reading lengthy pages apparently i'm exceeding 20 seconds at which point the touch screen loses my touch and i'm unable to scroll until I remove my finger for a few seconds and re-apply it.

I've confirmed that use case and your 'multi-touch test' app as well. I'm currently using OS version 1.57.
[Atrix 4G General] gachiennuocmam:
My Atrix ATT also has this problem. I am not sure if this is an issue. Many people report the same. MAD!!!
[Atrix 4G General] tom2517:
+1 here. Hope it's only a driver issue and can be corrected with an update.
[Atrix 4G General] photobillyli:
YES!!!

I BELIEVE this is only a matter of firmware. It can be fixed by update but the first thing is to make MOTOROLA realize the problem and treat the problem seriously.
[Atrix 4G General] aywen89:
agree,this bug was made by them intentionally, its normalize your screen every 20-30 secs to prevents error touch like droplets water...lame implementation!!!

The problem now is to make MOTOROLA realize how serious is this problem and take immediate actions!!!!I ady posted few discussion on moto forum.
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
Gosh, I know this is unrelated, but when I scroll on this phone, it ALWAYS clicks on something I don't want it to (for example, the settings menu).

It really pisses me off.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
YES YES YES!! THIS IS ALL TRUE!!! Although I feel like it just looses all response input at random. Maybe it is timed. Whatever it is, it's making my games almost unplayable (spider-man in particular).

That and the frikin touch screen accuracy sucks donkey balls. I CLEARLY tap a link and it selects another random link on the screen. Also, typing sucks (not nearly up to par as the iPhones) due to the crappy accuracy.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
Unfortunately Moto announced today that Atrix/Xoom sales have been very crappy. This makes it sound like we're never getting another update due to low revenue.

When will these stupid companies learn that they'll do better if they just didn't touch the damn OS? They'll never make Android their own so they should be putting that effort into the hardware.
[Atrix 4G General] EclipseX:
here is that information? about the probleme I have this probleme too :S
[Atrix 4G General] aywen89:
just lodge the complain using the online support chat.hope they will get it fix soon
[Atrix 4G General] ryaske:
i dont want to test to see if I have this problem (cant handle much more disappointment).

However I will say .. I had my Atrix for 2 days now. The third app i downloaded was Draw(er), just a simple free touch sketching program. Drew some things, then decided to test the touch screen.

DO/DOES YOUR PHONE(s) DO THIS ALSO:

I was not able to draw in that far left/far right area of the screen (with phone held in portrait mode). I guess its not a big deal in normal usage, but that bugs me. Some apps/games have controls in that area that one would need to grab. On Atrix it would be impossible to do so accurately, if at all.

Thankfully I'm still within my 30 day return period. 95% chance this thing is going back before the time is up. IF only to help remind Motorola YOU CANNOT TAKE AN OPEN-SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM, LOCK IT DOWN, AND CALL IT YOUR OWN. (I'm soured by Motorola's locked bootloader, as I've come from a long/enjoyable history of HTC phones running WinMo)
[Atrix 4G General] photobillyli:

[Atrix 4G General] photobillyli:
He is moving a lot on the scree so that the problem takes longer time to come out.

It takes much shorter time to recognize the problem it touching without moving.
[Galaxy Tab General] larcen007:
this screen has been up for 20 mins. Whats going on. who else has this issue. I may have lost signal during this time. What are my options
[Galaxy Tab General] papi92:
Just turn it off and on you hit volume down
[Galaxy Tab General] steckums:
You entered download mode. Just hold the power button for a few seconds. Make sure you dont hold any vopume buttons down when you turn it on in the future.
[Galaxy Tab General] btyork:
Assuming you where not trying to flash anything, it seems you entered the download mode by accident.

Most devices have button sequences that can be used at startup to enter various parts of the bootloader. You entered the one that is used to flash new kernals and roms to the tab (Power + Vol Down). Nothing has happened or will happen to your tab in this screen unless you are connected to a computer and using software to flash.

The second screen comes when you turn on the device and hold the vol up key. This is known as recovery and can be used to do backups of your device as well as flash new roms (with custom recoveries.) However, you can totally bork (to take a word from Ganj) your tab from this screen, so be weary if you ever enter this mode by accident.

Hope this is helpful!

Dude, this is the development forum for posting dev projects, not for n00b support. That is what the search button is for aswell as the Q&A subforum.

Also if you expect people to help you need to be more clear about what you have done and what you are trying to do and not just simply stick a oversized image in your topic.

Your problem is that you have powered the phone into download mode (used for flashing roms), You ahve done this by holding Volume down and power key at same time. Just hold power button until it powers down device.

Hi guys - rooted my Bell Atrix with aRoot v2... worked great.

Just got a Motorola Xoom (wifi) today - official launch date in Canada - and need to tether via my Atrix to go online when I have no access to Wifi.

Tried Barnacle and Wireless Tether apps from the app market... not much success. Tried the Tethering & Mobile Hotspots app that came with the phone and that one works perfectly.

My question is - I am going to run into additional charges with Bell? Or are we allowed to tether? And 2 - I have SQLite and Root Explorer and tried the tethering hack for the AT&T but it doesn't work for Bell, different values and everything.

Any Bell users out there who've had success Tethering with the built-in app?

Much appreciated!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
used my bell atrix to tether to an ipod touch and an ipad just for kicks. as for the billing question. I don't think so, but Im on rogers which for me 6gb is 6gb whatever you use it on the device for.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Roze-:
Bell DID put a stock tethering app on its Atrix models so I would think it's OK. If you want to be sure, you can always call them and ask. With Rogers, you can tether if you have more than 1GB. I'd think I read a member said that Bell (or was it Telus) doesn't have that requirement, lol.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dascope:
Just found the following on the Bell website-

Smartphone plans:

All plans include:

-Unlimited local nights (9 p.m. - 7 a.m.) and weekends (9 p.m. Fri - 7 a.m. Mon)

-Tethering (excluding BlackBerry only plan)

-Unlimited social networking (excluding BlackBerry and Palm)

-Call Waiting and Conference Calling

-Unlimited Wi-Fi at Bell hotspots, including Starbucks® (excluding BlackBerry only plans)

I believe this means as long as you don't go over your bandwidth limit - tether or not - you should be OK... <Joy!!!> But don't quote me on that, I'll confirm when I receive my next bill lol
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
is there any way to keep a ROM flash from changing my mac address?

i've flashed 3 times since i've had teh tab and each time i get a new address. it wouldn't be a problem if i didn't have mac filters on my router.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
never noticed that and dont know if you could stop it, but you could use busybox to set your mac to whatever you want.

then you could run a boot script to do it every time you reboot.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
thanks for the tip. seems that's the route i'm going to have to take. just flashing a modem and i've got another new mac address.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarLog:
not sure if this would work, but if you were to put the original file back in the directory, then it might be set.

In efs/imei/.nvmac.info

The hidden file .nvmac.info is your mac address.

The file bt.txt is the blue toothe mac address.

I was trying to flash Ginger Yoshi rom but I think I flashed the wrong SPL and now is stuck at fastboot screen not able to get to recovery mode. I flashed a few roms before but is really a newbie. I read another posting with similar problem and saw that someone suggested flashing recovery img again but I don't know how to do that. Please HELP!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Ah, very easy to fix. You need to get fastboot installed on your computer and verify that it can see the phone (plug the USB cable in after booting into fastboot) by issuing the following command from the folder with fastboot in it:

fastboot devices

Let me know when you get there and what the results are.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
After you issue the fastboot devices command, you should get your phone's serial number back indicating that your computer and phone are talking. Then you need to download this recovery and this hboot. Copy both those files over to the folder that has "fastboot.exe". Back at the command prompt issue the following commands:

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

That should reboot the phone back into the bootloader and you should now have the 1.33.0013d SPL. You can then boot the phone into recovery mode and flash Yoshi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Julie2010:
I installed fastboot and was able to see my device.

HT96XLV04762 fastboot

But was unable to flash the 2 files.

error: cannot load 'hboot-1.33.0013d.img'

error: cannot load 'recevery.img'

After playing around a bit i was able to get to recovery mode by pressing power+home. I did a nandroid restore but still could not get passed the green screen...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
That's because your nandroid probably isn't cool with the SPL. Did you copy the files to the same folder fastboot is in?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Julie2010:
Yes fastboot is in C:\android and the files are in the same directory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Did you rename the files?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Julie2010:
That was just a typo on my previous posting. Am I supposed to rename them though?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
No. Download them and put them in the folder again. If you have the newest version of SDK the folder should be \AndroidSDK\tools.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Julie2010:
It worked. I download a new version and was able to replace the SPL file. Thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Julie2010:
I was able to flash ginger yoshi but now only has H connection instead of 3G?

There were these errors when flashing in recovery mode:

E: Missing bitmap progress_empty (Code-1)

E: Missing bitmap progress_fill (Code-1)

choice: error fixed, please ignore

Does these errors have anything to do with why I no longer have 3G?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] basscheck12:
H stands for HSDPA which is enhanced 3g. Ginger Yoshi ditinguishes between regular 3g and HSDPA. So it's a good thing you have H instead of 3g. For more detais you could google HSDPA.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Julie2010:
I was just reading out that on Google. Thanks for the quick reply. Do I need to worry about the missing bitmap error?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] basscheck12:
Nope because "choice: error fixed, please ignore"
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
This is not a hate on Android thread, that's not the purpose of my post.

I'm just honestly very curious and confused as to how they could still have that slight bit of lag with a dual core 1ghz processor running.

Is that the fault of the "no hardware acceleration" thing? Or is it just not a very well-optimized OS?

How is my wp7 smooooooth as silk, and their powerful "super" phone is the same?

Competition breeds better products for us the consumers, so in all honesty, I was disappointed last night when I picked it up. I had thought going in; "ok this will be pretty cool to play around with".
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
It is hardware accelerated.

You forgot to add its bloated with crap, and overlaid with BS software. On the brighter side its doing a ton more than your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
The UI isn't hardware accelerated, the OS is poorly coded from borrowed code, the OS is never optimized for the hardware except in the cases of the Nexus devices, I could go on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
Several reasons lead to this:

1. Android is low in efficiency. Doubled spec won't save it.

2. the Blur launcher sucks, unlike some other skins I found nothing helpful in Blur.

3. Tegra2 isn't performing well on 2D acceleration. It got a lower score in 2D part in Quadrant than Hummingbird and QSD8X55. With LauncherPro it's pretty obvious the open drawer animation is not fluid.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The Atrix shipped with FroYo and is getting an update to Ginger later IIRC.

The UI is not hardware accellerated in FroYo.

Sorry... And way to troll, BTW...

Some analysts are calling the Atrix and Xoom "duds."

Android's performance, battery life, and UI issues are getting tiresome. It's as if Google put these things so low on the priority scale that they don't get any attention. There are also tons of inconsistencies that make matters worse - like apps (including stock apps) that do not exit via the back button, take up tons of RAM, and continue running in the background. So when the phone starts switching stuff around to get RAM (or when RAM is almost full period) performance dips.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
You guys don't get it. If it wasn't hardware accelerated, the device wouldn't be useable. Get your facts right. The word you guys are clearly missing is GPU accelerated, even then its there, just not fully implemented.

Funny thing is, you're using a device with internet access, search first.

Dont know what the hate campaign is about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
For someone who doesn't own a WP7 device you sure spend a lot of time here. You do know that there is a seperate WM6.5 subforum don't you?
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
That's frustration, not hate.

Just like someone get frustrated with Microsoft slow at adding features to WP7, some others frastrated with Google not effectively improving the responsiveness and overall efficiency of Android.

Not really sure about the hardware acceleration.

My understanding is, originally the launcher uses 2D acceleration of the GPU.

Now they are moving to use 3D acceleration which performs better?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
Not sure if serious
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
main reason why android sucks with this

software acceleration

software acceleration on android sucks because it uses CPU not GPU. So things will chug on dual core processors, and single core processors too. That is androids second biggest failure (besides well you know, FRAGMENTATION)

Android is great for sending a quick sms and some programs (skyscape is to die for imho) but otherwise...definitely behind the curve unless the philosophy is not changed
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
When we're talking about Hardware Accelleration in the GUI, it's commonly accepted that we're talking about the GPU Graphics Accelleration.

And the ATRIX doesn't have that, at all. Maybe moto built some bits for a special purpose, but the Android FroYo User Interface is not GPU Accellerated like iOS and WP7.

And seriously, don't make yourself look dumb. You've been troll-baiting people in this forum for months. Put up, or shut up.

ClockworkMod recovery for LG P500.

Avalaible via Rom manager now.

How to flash:

1. Install ROM Manager from market

2. Get root in some way.

3. Flash recovery via ROM Manager

Zip package with amonra recovery attached (if anyone want to back to amonra).

Why ClockworkMod?

+ it is nicer :)

+ it is clockworkmod :)

+ format partitions

+ normal support for backup/restore

- don't support for Amend scripts

- don't support Link2SD

Ext partition fs: ext4.

Don't compatible with backups created in AmonRa.

About Amend scripts:

To give you back history, there are currently two ways to create "update.zip" scripts. The first one is "update-script", also known as Amend. It was the first version of the scripting language created by Google, and was used in Android 1.0 and Cupcake (1.5). However, Amend has two serious design flaws:

Function arguments can not span more than 1 word.

The scripting language is compiled into the recovery causing image bloat and inflexibility.

Because of this reason Google REMOVED Amend support in Donut (Android 1.6) and beyond, and instead switched to update-binary and updater-script, which is also known as Edify.

This means that you can't falsh some zips. If you like this recovery ask zip authors to update his packages.

Modders: Please switch to using Edify.

Screenshot is from google because I have no idea how to take screen from framebuffer :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] d3s3rt_eagle:
