[Atrix 4G General] speeman2049:
Friend M-furries. the "Iranian Warlord", will be going onto his 4th Atrix!!!

-First issue with his Atrix #1, he was experiencing call connection problems and dropped calls if i remember correctly. Also he told me that it would turn on by itself sometimes.

Solution: Exchanged the Atrix for a new one.

-Issue on Attrix #2, he had rooted the phone and enable 3rd party programs within settings, phone was functioning fine and was rebooted many times without issue.

He then decided to download "Talking Carl.ipa" which is a iphone app lol, why, god knows, but he tried it and when he did it didn't work as expected and gave him a force close, he forced closed and when he did, the phone rebooted.

Only thing was that know it wasn't booting up at all! It remained on the pulsing moto bootup logo and did not boot, even after many attempts nothing.

He went into recovery mode and did factory reset, what happened after that?

His phone booted up except that the resolution of the screen was as if it was really high as everything including the main menu, taskbar icons, text, everything was supper small and very hard to see!!! Furthermore he tried the phone dialer and nothing, it would try to open then instantly close! So no more phone except if it was a incoming call :( . He then looked for a stock rom for the Atrix but didn't find any so he tried to install gingerblur rom and still no good, everything was super small and phone dialer still closed when launched! We downloaded all drivers, moto agent and motorola sync and could you believe that there is no emergency firmware recovery within motorola sync!!! No recovery or option to upload a firmware, wtf!!! The samsung galaxy S had that option through Samsung Kies, as does the iPhone from iTunes, what the hell motorola!!! Called there tech support and it was useless, they tried a ota update lol!

Solution: Exchanged the Atrix for a new one.

-Attrix #3, he had it for a couple of weeks and now he is getting an issue with the screen "Flickering", it appears to be "Flickering" on the top status bar!!!

Solution: "Iranian Warlord" will be sending this unit in to get another one!!! He will be on his 4th Atrix!!! lol! All his Atrix's were also from Bell and running 2.2
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
Mods, can we make this a stickey?
[Atrix 4G General] Santiago:
Tell us more..
[Atrix 4G General] speeman2049:
Well hopefully he will have a good unit when he gets his 4th Atrix, i hope! I'll let you guys know as soon as he gets it.
[Atrix 4G General] speeman2049:
Update: Actually my friend with the "Attrix #3, he had it for a couple of weeks and now he is getting an issue with the screen "Flickering", it appears to be "Flickering" on the top status bar!!!"

After further investigation, It's actually the whole screen that was flickering, furthermore it only appeared when the battery was around 20%, however it disappeared as the battery further discharge towards the 5% battery level, strange indeed. Perhaps somethings up with the power management.

We also found out that there is a Bell update for 2.2 that fixes a couple of bugs, so we'll try that out on his phone and after testing it for a while I'll post here any updates from it! Hope that it works because these are awesome superphones!

We are going to try this update first before getting the 4th atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
Sorry to say but your friend is an IDIOT there! Like really? What was he thinking loading an iPhone app. It's OBVIOUS that it WON'T work. I mean if it was THAT easy, we'd have ALL of the iPhone apps running alongside with our android ones! :rolleyes: Second this is in no means a fault on the Atrix. This is purely HIS fault. Your friend took the chance too root. He should have done his research and had he, he would have read in basically every ROM/root thread here that THE BELL ATRIX does NOT have a SBF to fall back.

I'm just surprise that Bell would let you exchange the phone because once you root, you lose your warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] spacev:
fairly happy with 2nd one BUT !!! .....

My 2nd Atrix works OK so far. The first had the voice quality issue.

I still have 2 big problems:

1. WiFi crashing router. After some time (sometimes many hours) my router will crash (needs full restart/unplug). I put the Atrix on its own router so it does not affect the rest of my home network.

This happens with my Actiontec (FIOS), D-Link Dir655 and Linksys WRT54GP2 (super old but thats what the Atrix is currently on)

My DIR655 is running pretty old Firmware but I just dread redoing all my setup/config if I go to the latest 1.3x.

Does anyone here use the Atrix on a DIR655 N router without problems?

I turned Wifi sleep of on the phone etc, etc but still!

Pretty annoying but I can live with it. My first Atrix did exactly the same.

2. VOIP mic problems! Skype, sipdroid etc... Its supposedly a problem with the MOTO implementation of the AudioSource Object. Its very limited and does not allow commonly used settings. I read that you can also only use the back mic.

I wonder what MOTOs official statement on that is?
[Atrix 4G General] speeman2049:
Its true and I told him that he was retarded for even trying that lol! Luckily he was able to change it! However he is still having issues with this atrix, he's waiting for the bell ota update to fix a bunch of bugs on 2.2
[Atrix 4G General] speeman2049:
My 2 friend's haven't had any wifi problems though, perhaps its the router your on? Wifi has always worked on all they're atrix's that they had so far!
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
Issues:

1. The LED (one of them would flicker and then go off).

2. The voice quality on the phone. Everyone would tell me I sounded muffled.

3. I have a problem with network error on the Market app.

4. If I leave my finger relatively still on the screen for longer than 15 secs, the will stop responding for a few secs and go crazy. (This happens with all units. It's a "feature" on the phone). Kind of makes it hard to play games.

5. I can't lay down the phone on any surface that is not flat, as the LCD will not work (ie. bed)

6. I get randomly disconnected from the AT&T network.

7. I get a few reboots per week. Sometimes in the middle of a call.

That's all. Besides those things, the phone...is still horrible.
[Atrix 4G General] maledyris:
I'm actually using a DIR655 and I don't have any problems. Then again, I'm using firmware 1.33NA. That's bizarre though, I've never heard of a device crashing the router. I'd recommend that you bite the bullet and upgrade your firmware. You do know that you can save your current configuration, right? It's under:

Tools > System > Save to local harddrive
[Atrix 4G General] creativedevil:
Love this phone so far. Luckily I haven't noticed any of the mentioned problems. Except 1, with VOIP, it doesn't seem to be working properly. Yesterday I tried Skype, tried speakerphone, tried headset, tried BT, nothing worked, I can hear the caller, but they can't hear me at all. Now today I tried again, I can still hear them, and there is a weird progress, they can hear me, not with BT, but with headset and speaker both, but my voice as they say was very broken, noisy, too much disturbance etc...

Besides this issue, (M)Atrix rocks!!!
[Atrix 4G General] CrazyMcCool:
Atrix just wont connect to mobile data, it will tease you with showing you there is an H+ connection available, but it wont let you axx it..

And it worked fine for one day x.x
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
no issue here on that...not sure what to suggest :/

hmm...I remember reading that people that had this issue, when they lowered the noise cancelation feature, they didn't sound muffle anymore. Maybe you can try this out? I don't have this issue, so not sure if that will help.

Are you still getting this on WIFI? I know sometimes the Market acts up on its own, though I haven't heard of it happening recently.

hmm...got to try this to see if I have this issue.

I've noticed the opposite accutally...if the phone is ON a flat surface, it doesn't respond properly. Like multiple times I am required to click on an icon shortcut on the homescreen.

I think you should exchange it for a different phone :/ I know the reboot issue is fixed with the 1.5.something update for AT&T.

Have you forced trottle your network to only be 3G? Are you in a known weak 3G area when that happens?
[Nook Color General] DozeBeatS:
I just got my class 10 micro SD in the mail today and want to swap out my old one. Is the process as easy as copying everything over to the new card, or is there something else I need to do? Also, when I plug my Nook into my pc, I get two drives. One is a removeable disk, the other is mynookcolor. So yeah, now Im really confused. My rom is installed on the internal memory.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
If your running off of EMMC then it's pretty simple if the Old card is just 1 big fat32 partition with normal Android data files and other things. I reccomend using a seperate card reader however. Now just Plug the Old card into your PC and copy all of the files to a Folder on said PC. Now plugin New card in and copy the files to the New Card. Enjoy.

[Nook Color General] DozeBeatS:
Done. What was throwing me off was the partition the system automatically creates. I wasnt sure if I needed to copy that as well. Once I popped the new card in it automatically created those files. Everything is good. Time to test speeds.

Thanks!

1080p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmQiPWnLVIc
[LG Optimus 3D] wouwout:
not impressive, to be honest. 1080p is wobbly, 720p still a bit wobbly. not much detail. Continuously compensating for light changes. this is not what HD video recording should be, even on a smartphone.
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
Wobbly because most hands wobble more than tripods do :)

Maybe it is youtube that does the re-compression to an even lower bitrate that lowers the quality?
[LG Optimus 3D] joeyrushlow:
On my original post about the quadrant and linpack scores I noted that these videos I took are not on the final software and also yes, my hands were wobbly as hell lol. I also uploaded the original files to my dropbox, the links are on my post.
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
The 1080p is a 8Mbps and the 720p at 6Mbps, sound was really low bitrate.

Maybee it will be better in the final production version.

Are there 3rd party camera apps that may work?
[LG Optimus 3D] Renegade_Rulez:
The LG Optimus 2x films better than this, so I am sure it will be better in the final version.
[LG Optimus 3D] wouwout:
I'n not a native English speaker. My 'wobbly' doesn't refer to your hands :) but to the typical smartphone effect you get when recording in HD and moving around. Not everything moves at the same pace creating a wobble effect.

However some phone don't have this issue as much as others, due to better hardware and/or software.
[XPERIA X8 General] shadowkahn:
hi all is developing for android easy. i know prior experience would be great but as a first language would it be easy to pickup.
[XPERIA X8 General] DerEineDa:
Do you mean to develop apps for android? If yes, then it is fairly easy, because apps can be written with the Java programming language.

Of course, if you never did any programming before, it will be hard at first. But I think Java is one of the best languages for a beginner to learn.
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/

No need to learn a programming language. Although it helps.

No, C# is better. Like java but it looks nicer.
[XPERIA X8 General] Boshe:
With Qt Creator it's more simple... :)
[XPERIA X8 General] LFSPovo:
It's possible to use it for Android? :eek:
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
Basicaly , I think that making an app is not hard , but making a good up and keep developing and update it in order to make it even better, is very tiring, and difficult.

And after a point, code is realy complex for unexpiriened programmers.
[XPERIA X8 General] shadowkahn:
Thanx for replies. I've picked up Java and android application development for dummies book.always wanted to program its difficult to start because of choosing a language.

I think Java is a good start as u come across Java in PC's and phones.

Is xhtml a big part of android programs. Is that another language to learn.

and last question about the android sdk is there a tutorial on installing it on 64 bit windows seven.I remember coming across compatibility problems with eclipse
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage0:
hey, I saw CM7 has been published...I also want to update to the CM7 to get the function of location by wifi~ but I saw the official list~there is only harmony....no gtablet...

so I wonder What is "harmony" indeed! Is it special for Gtablet?

or harmony=Gtablet? sorry for my naive question...for I just got my Gtablet for one week~

Now I am using the VEGAn 5.1.1 ~

So I want to know two other questions:

1.if I refresh the CM7 rom, do I need to format the internal storage in gtablet?

2.if need, how to backup my app, just backup by Titanium backup and then copy the backup files to SDcard??

Sorry for my so much naive question! Hope you can help me!

Search for Odin clone. Its an Odin file and Odin clone is for Mac.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rand4ll:
Make sure u get phone into download mode before starting heimdall. Also, when flashing the modem I extract the modem.bin file out of the tar and flash it directly...this is how I do it on archlinux and it always works...did it three times in 5 minutes last night...i see no need for odin clone and have actually never had to use odin...but I have no windows computer either so probably why...heimdall is great

Also, like dalev is saying, maybe the tar is made for odin, but the extracted modem.bin works perfect in heimdall...i installed just the EC01 modem with my voodoo'd sc2.9.2 with jt 4/08 kernel...works great
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaleV:
Absolutely correct, .tar files are for odin and odin clone, but they can be extracted and the .bin are used in heimdall. I don't have much experience with Mac so i was hesitant to say anything other than I know odin clone is for Mac. Thanks for teaching me something new tonite, I had no idea heimdall was Mac compatible.

Heimdall Frontend has a bunch of simple features built in to stop users doing things that will damage their phone. One example of which is attempting to flash a tar file to your device. Please follow the instructions in the README that came with Heimdall when you downloaded it. They indicate that you must extract the contents of the .tar file and then flash the contents themselves.

I did that but now it's displaying "failed to detect compatible device". I followed the instructions presented in the readme

i took a quick look... it appears that it would not be an easy & quick fix / rebuild i dont think, the entire program is written to use and be depended on <uses-library android:name="com.htc.device" />... before taking on this project id wait out as skype said that att was suppose to get releases of its video call first so id think we cant be to far behind

For anyone interested, here is the deodexed apk decoded and built with apk-tool.

Note: This cannot be installed yet.

http://dev.gitbrew.org/~dasmoover/android/apk/dev/com.skypevideodeodex.apk
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
it doesn't work because it was not made for this phone. even if it did install, it wouldn't work with our camera because moto uses its own camera driver since froyo doesn't have one (gingerbread will). htc uses its own FFC driver as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ytwytw:
So sounds like it works on all HTC phone?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] b15love:
?? so how does yahoo video chat, fring, and other video call apks work on several devices? obviously it wasnt made for the phone, thats why the thread was posted] to modify it and get it to work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zerocool79346:
Because they contain drivers for all the phones they know of with FFCs I would bet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eatkabab:
Could it be that because att doesn't have 4g yet, Skype is holding out?

I apologize If I posted this in the wrong forum. It seemed logical for me to put it here...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eval-:
Probably right. Here is Motorola's API:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] photobillyli:
It is so frustrating that using the same system (android) and also having a front camera but we cannot use the same app (skype with video).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] y2whisper:
yup but that was specifically develpoed for the thunderbolt, I assume if it does get officially launched with it, it will be a matter of time before that spreads to being on other devices (much like when they launched skype in the first place on android) the key question is will they fix the sound issues that moto's config gives these voip programs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
I'm guessing no, but for reasons other than the camera driver.

as I learned in the (otherwise useless) motorola atrix dev conference, the FFC driver for the atrix is written BY motorola. Android 2.2 does NOT have a standard FFC driver and so every phone that has an FFC and is running 2.1 or 2.2 is using their own FFC driver. That is why Tango and Qik did not work for the Atrix immediately when it was released, and Qik had to release an Atrix-only version of the app.

When gingerbread comes across all devices, it will have a standard FFC driver. But until then, every company running 2.2 uses their own and that is why these aren't compatible apps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] r34p3rex:
More than likely, it's because AT&T didn't want Skype to release it yet.. the carriers have a surprising amount of influence on app developers. Think of how the Inspire and Atrix still don't have HSUPA enabled whereas the iPhone 4 has had it since its release. My guess is they don't want to overload their already fragile network :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ChongoDroid:
I know and people like me who have a bell atrix thats not even on bell have to suffer.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bisis:
I read a lot of threads around wifi issues and all seems to round up on dhcp settings.

What I see is that dhcp settings are not involved in the problem but I see that if I try to connect to a WPA2 protected network I have problems.

If I change the network settings to WEP or free, the tablet get authenticated in a second!

Does anyone else encountered the same problem?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psklenar:
I've got four WPA2 networks defined and the Tab connects to all four w/o any issue. What sort of difficulty are you seeing?

pat----
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bisis:
Not with all WPA2 network I can't get the tab connected.

In my home dlink wireless I have problems. Sometimes tab gets connected in one second but for the major number of attempts I have tab trying to connects without success... all what I see is "connecting". I think it's not a dhcp issue because I don't see "obtaining IP address" in those cases so I think it's in loop on authentication stage.

Also, I tried to change encryption method to WEP on dlink network and the tablet gets connected every time in one second, not more...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pohket:
Hey -

I've been having a problem and wondering where I should go from here...

It seems that I can use gfree to SuperCID and even SIM Unlock my device. The problem I have is when I try to set s-off. There is no problem with s-on.

If the secu_flag is set to 0, the problem that I'm seeing (regardless of ROM used):

The first call that I let timeout and go to voicemail after booting up

causes the rild to crash and relaunch. After rild relaunches, there are no additional problems...

Steps that cause error:

1) Reboot phone

2) Place phone on lock screen

3) From another phone, dial your cell phone

4) Let the call go to voicemail

5) RILD Crashes:

* When the 'missed call' notification appears in the bar, and

device returns to the lock screen, the upper right text showing the

network changes from 'T-Mobile' to '(No Service)' then back to

'T-Mobile' all within about 5-10 seconds...

* The antenna indicator in the notification bar will have an 'x'

in it, then return to it's previous bar state. In addition, any cell

data icon (E,3G,H) will disappear and re-appear. (in that 5-10 second

window mentioned above).

I've been asking on IRC. Guhl and I have been looking into this, but aren't sure what the problem is.

Am I the only one experiencing the problem? Anyone have any ideas on how to fix or where to look?
