[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Call your provider and ask for them to push the network settings. They'll have you check the APN settings and likely do a battery pull.

I don't know exactly what it is that they do, but it's some sort of re-provisioning by the sound of it. I've had to call in and have this done and it's worked like a charm. It's worth a shot.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
seems like signal problem try again with your apn and make sure its right. and use "default" instead "Default" sometimes some keyboards capitalize the first letter.

re check APN its right i guess its the problem.

did you freeze any service? or do something weird??? try a backup with thenfar recovery and flash again SBF and check if works, maybe you delete or freeze a service, after that if still not working try replace SIM card to see if this solve the problem.
[Atrix 4G General] h8rift:
Try these apn settings:

apn: pps

> port = 8080

> mmsc = 176.0.0.21

> mms proxy = not set

> mcc = 419

> mnc = 02

> authentication type = not set

> apn type = default
[Atrix 4G General] Q8Doctor:
thanks for the reply, these are old settings, i am using the updated one above
[Atrix 4G General] Q8Doctor:
- signal bar is full

- apn is correct default in small letters

- have rechecked apn many times!

- did factory reset, rooted device and now on 1.5.7

- will try to change sim and see

(if thats works I will donate the 50$ to you!)
[Atrix 4G General] Q8Doctor:
thanks for the reply, i will try that and see, will call them now
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Good luck. Don't worry about the reward though, I just hope this works because I always have a third party device and know how much of a nuisance this can be!
[Atrix 4G General] Q8Doctor:
Checked w provider

Apn settn has to be entered manually they don't push it
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
They don't push the APN but they can usually reset the network connection from their end. It's industry jargon my old provider had used. Not sure what it alludes to but it definitely helps.

Sorry I don't have the appropriate term.
[Atrix 4G General] darklipslide:
Did you go to "Data Manager"

then choose "Data Delivery"

make sure "Data Roaming" is turned on.

Without it, my Atrix will not connect to the internet either.

This is the solution, I think.
[Atrix 4G General] fowldogs:
I realize you are half-way around the world from me, but I thought I would share with you what I am experiencing right now in northern Michigan.

I got my Atrix about 2 weeks ago and had absolutely no problems with it until last Friday, when I suddenly would get only Edge connectivity. My HSPA+ was gone. This lasted all Friday night. I had placed Gingerblur on my phone at roughly the same time this began to happen, so I thought this might be the issue. But after talking to some folks on he, I was informed that Gingerblur didn't change the radios. So, I flashed back to SBF 1.2.6 and reloaded my Atrix to 1.5.7, but I still got only Edge service.

On Saturday, I did see HSPA+ for a while, but speeds were slooooow. My buddy has a iPhone 3GS and an iPad 3G. Both of those were connecting at 3G and were pulling good speeds. My phone would only get Edge. (BTW, where I am at, we have only 3G, not officially HSPA+).

Yesterday, I spent an hour on the phone with AT&T tech support and got no-where, so I drove the 20-miles to my AT&T store. When I got there, I found that the in-store Atrix as well as the Inspire 4G were both only connecting at Edge service. So, the issue is not my phone, it is something going on with AT&T in my area.

I was back at the AT&T store today and they have no information to help me, but are talking to engineering to see what is going on. The 4G in-store phones again showed only an Edge connection when I was there today. All of the 3G phones were working great.

I don't know if this is related to your issue, but I thought it was similar enough to say something.

[Atrix 4G General] Q8Doctor:
I have tried both, nothing worked

I have brought the donation up to 100$
[Atrix 4G General] Q8Doctor:
It is really annoying problem tha you are having, mine is more! because there is no net at all!

thanks for sharing your problems with us:)
[Atrix 4G General] DarkRyoushii:
I could really use that $100 :/ when you bought the phone did you activate it for the first time in the USA? In the IRC chat, a guy named shadowfalx has the exact same problem and the only difference between his phone running on the softbank JP network (with broken data) and mine running on Vodafone Australia (with working H+) is that he activated his phone for the first time in the USA with an AT&T SIM card, while I used a vodafone SIM in Austraila. I'm not sure about the technics but he thinks it has something to do with the SID being screwed over. I would get in contact with the person/place that sold you the phone and ask for a replacement and when/if you do get a replacement, ask specifically for it not to be turned on ever before, as you will have to turn it on for the first time with your ZAIN KW SIM card inserted.

Hope this helps, shadowfalx will have his replacement in a few days, we'll know for sure if thats the problem when he gets his new one and activates it in Japan not in the US

- DarkRyoushii
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Out of curiosity, have you tried another SIM?
[Atrix 4G General] HBEAR:
I fired off an email to a buddy in KW and had him compare his setting to the settings listed on their website. The only difference was

APN Type = default,spul

where you listed

APN Type= default

He is using a Nexus one not an Atrix but it is an Android.
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
try this do a factory reset to make sure all your setting are correct and the previous owner didnt uninstall something he shouldnt have, heres how. With the phone off, hold the Volume Down button while pressing Power. A Fastboot screen should appear. Press Volume Down to navigate to the Android Recovery selection. Press Volume Up. A yellow triangle and Android logo will appear. Tap the bottom-right corner of the screen until a menu appears. Tap wipe data/factory reset then tap OK. Tap Yes then OK. it will take a minute or so for the factory reset then hit ok when done. then during the motoblur sign in press settings button and then select APN to enter a new one. try these and good luck

APN: pps

Username: annyway

Password: online

MMSC: 176.0.0.21

[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
the apn type should be: default,dun,agps,tether,fota,supl. After putting the apn, you actually need to CLICK it to enable it (a dot will appear inside the circle).

You wouldn't believe how much time i wasted before figuring this out
[Atrix 4G General] pat2jzgte:
Any news or already fixed

How u solved the problem.
[Atrix 4G General] jysue:
Hi, i posted a while ago in another thread - if you have username & password for your APN it will not work on atrix.

You need to manually put the user and pass into the correct file, see link below and PM me if you need any assistance.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbbzilla:
I was running Vegan 5.1 fine and decided to check out the new Vegan GE RC-1 so I went into CWM .8 and cleared the cache, dvork(spelling) and did a wipe and factory restore. Then I put the vegan file and renamed it update on my tablets sd card.

After all the cleaning I rebooted and tried to install. It did install from the sd card but when I booted for the firt time it would not get past the Viewsonic boot screen. I waited 5 minutes, then 15 minutes then almost a half hour and nothing?? I then formatted the sd card and system data and tried the process again and still stuck on the boot screen.

I do not know what I am doing wrong the sd card is partitioned 2gb-and 0 just like I have read. There is no data on the device except for the update file.

I read about nvflash but I do not understand the istructions. I have windows 7 laptop and the directions I am just lost with. Can someone please help me figure out what to do next??

If I need to run nv flash is there a set of instructions for windows 7 that are step by step. I really want to put Vegan GE but this is getting a little out of my comfort and knowledge(not that I have much knowledge). I am willing to learn and tried the flash but got lost in the steps.

Please help!!

Thanks in advance.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzzy786:
I notice if you unpack the zipped ROM file you get a load of folders including one containing all the APKs in the ROM. If for instance I didn't need certain APKs like Twitter.APK can I just delete that APK and rezip the ROM and flash it?

Similarly if I wanted to use the Skyfire browser instead of the one provided in the ROM could I just delete the browser.apk and replace it with skyfire.apk?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonio1475:
Don't unpack it. Just open it and delete the Twitter.apk with WinRar or 7zip, then flash it.

System apps like browser are not recommended to be deleted (errors will come). Just install Skyfire then and it will popup for you to choose which browser you want to use for any thing.

:)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
I could be wrong, but don't you have to sign your "new" ROM before you can flash it? Even if you have signature check disabled in CWrecovery?

And if not, what is the meaning of signing a ROM?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themapleboy:
Has anyone been successfull? i have tried every OC kernel and as soon as i overclock it just reboots my phone to a freeze (only way out is to either pull the battery or adb reboot). That being said the UV kernel runs fine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Not sure if it has to do with the I9020A series.

But overall, each NS phone can tolerate its own OC levels. Some phones can tolerate only up to 1.2 GHz, some may be able to achieve 1.4GHz (or beyond). And for some of the unfortunate, some aren't able to OC at all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themapleboy:
Thus this post. I hope my phone is'nt the issue. it would be nice to push a little bit more out of it if i needed it down the line.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KryPTiCk0d3:
I over clocked mine to 1.4 and it was fine, I leave it at 1.0 tho, this friggin thing is quick enough for now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themapleboy:
hmm how do you check your radio. I'm gonna try that as a last resort. And i can set mine as 1.4 but as soon as i run a resource heavy task (n64) my phone locks up and reboot freezes.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Not sure why a radio would affect your ability to OC but...

Menu -> Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband Version

the last 3 are what you want to look at "JK8/KB1/KB3"

List all the kernels you've tried. The best in my opinion is Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel using SetCPU

Try intervals of 1.2 GHz too. My phone can only go up to 1.2 GHz
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themapleboy:
Yeah actually i had tried all of the bfs kernels. I just succeeded in getting Netarchy's 1.3.0.3-CFS kernel. And i can run up to 1.4 :). Maybe the brain fk scheduler does not play nice with 9020a's
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
awesome. I just prefer CFS because with BFS the boot animation doesn't show, and it bothers me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixxy:
i flashed the BFS first, and lost my boot animation. Then i switched to the CFS, and the boot animation still didnt appear.

Any ideas as to how i can get it back?

Also, is there anyway to recover the stock kernel? I'd like to have it handy to be able to go back to it.

thnks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Wipe dalvik and cache. Flash a rom that flashes stock. Like cm7 but netarchys is so much better than stock

You can also get ogdobbers which is stock + ext4 + voodoo.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTECJ:
Hey everyone,

This is an off topic question but does anyone know what happened to the 1.6 OC support for Netarchy? I loved to see the absurdly high quadrant scores and instantaneous screen transitions.

Thanks,

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
you're better off asking that in the netarchy kernel thread in dev forums.

netarchy could answer that... not a lot of phones can tolerate 1.6 GHz Oc

[Android Apps and Games] gubiguy:
Hey,

You've all seen the lockscreen types:

-You have seen the actual lockscreens that can be chosen from the main phone settings. They come stock with the phone, and custom ones in ZIP files. Usually, the custom ones need to be flashed via CWM. They are immediately present when the unlock button is hit - a standalone app doesn't need to open/use up memory while the phone is locked. They're usually relatively simple.

-Then there are the standalone application lockscreens found on the market. They usually are adorned with a variety of nice gadgets/gizmos, and are very well polished. Some examples of these are: "GOTO Lockscreen", "Simply Lockscreen", and "Widget Locker". The downside? These applications need to open when you hit your unlock button, meaning sometimes you'll actually be seeing your homescreen first, and then your lockscreen once it's all loaded up.

My request is this: can we please get some more REAL lockscreens (the ones flashed via CWM) that are as decorated as the ones available as standalone applications?

Doing this would ensure our phones can have beautiful lockscreens without the shoddy startup of the standard application lockscreens.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] that.dude:
It would be great to have some custom lockscreens for AOSP Roms like Redux or Oxygen, too.
[Android Apps and Games] gubiguy:
Personally, I'd want the lockscreens to be universal to 2.2+ phones, but if that's impossible based on all the different ROMs, then some fancy ROM specific lockscreens can't hurt, right?

Installed CM7 on my N1. No 3G. The icon is there, as soon as I use something data-related, kicks over to H.

Just went back into Clockwork recovery, reset all (system wipe, dalvik, cache, etc), rebooted and even in the welcome to android screen, I can see the H.

Tried setting the GSM radio to USA Bands, does not affect it. Played with APN settings (deleted all except internet.com), does not affect it.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
this is really interesting because on ATT my nexus one stays showing H all the time, whether data is transmitting or not. HOWEVER, i can get it to do what you are seeing when i push a certain lib file to system/lib, then reboot. after that reboot, the icon switches back and forth from 3G to H over and over, as data turns on and off. and its very annoying. but then, when i reboot one more time, it goes back to normal.

the point is, what you are seeing may be normal if that network is set up like that. but really it should stay showing H no matter what.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgemv:
This happens with Nokia Siemens Networks WCDMA e-nodeBs. Don't worry about it. 'H' is faster than '3G' anyways.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i can believe that. but how is it that i am able to make this issue disappear with a reboot?

also, to support your claim, i HAVE seen this issue appear in certain locations and cities, then when i drive out of that city, it returns to a constant H. i assume that particular area just had the network configured differently, or with different hardware.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enkoopa:
Is there any reason with stock ROM it would only show 3G?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
Some stock ROMs are designed to only show the 3G icon regardless of whether the device is connected to 3G or HSPA.

[Droid X General] Javiggan69:
I am running .588 and I restored my data after coming from the original gb (.573) leak. I loose my 3g connection at least once a day. Sometime when I toggle the airplane mode it works and I connect back to 3g, but i that does not work I just reboot the phone. Anyone else having this issue? We need feedback to see if its a hardware or software issue in gb. The reason I cannot confirm if it is s/w or h/w issue I received a replacement phone when the .588 came out. I cannot compare both builds with same device. I am going to revert to .573 to see if it continues. I will post back with outcome.

Thanks in advance

[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
I have had this issue also. The toggling of airplane mode usually works for me too. Although yesterday it didn't and I had to reboot the phone.
[Droid X General] Javiggan69:
The airplane mode does not work for me. Someone recommended to use an app called signal refresh. My main concern is if its a s/w of h/w.

Javiggan69
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
I have this problem, as well. I used the Monster SBF to get to .340, installed GB, and restored only user apps with Titatium Backup. Airplane mode works for me sometimes. Every now and then my phone will go into airplane mode and lock up, forcing me to do a battery pull...
[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
I was on the old gb leak and restored data in clockwork after moving to the new gb. I haven't had the problem yet today. (Knock on wood)
[Droid X General] lbp102:
Same

I'm seeing the 3G drop as well. Of course i only notice it since i'm tethering my wifi xoom to the droid (method irrelevant). Airplane mode works for me.
[Droid X General] JinxtPhoto:
Mine drops out and stays out all the damn time. Sometimes airplane toggling is enough, sometimes I have to re-boot the phone and then toggle airplane mode and other times just turning WiFi off works well enough. It happens on my Wife's D2 constantly as well. We've missed plenty of calls (google voice pops up letting me know I have messages from missed calls even though the phone didn't ring and we have big problems texting throughout the day).

We're both going back to Liberty right now cuz this is BS. Hopefully this will get fleshed out for the final OTA and I can see why Verizon hasn't approved either leak yet. And even more hopefully it's not the new radio, and if it is hopefully SBF-ing back to 340 will fix it. If it doesn't, do any of the older SBF's work with the 340/588 bootloaders and also contain older radio firmware?
[Droid X General] Javiggan69:
Update:

re-flashed GB. went two days with no signal problems, but this morning I lost my 3g connection. I have a feeling that it has to do with the hand-off between the wifi and 3g connection. I have tried to duplicate the issue but I cannot duplicate it. Also one thing I notice is when my 3g is not working and only shows the 4 grey bars I cannot make outgoing calls but calls do come in. Weird....
