Can't see any options for FM on the music player, even with headphones plugged in, but maybe I'm missing something obvious! ;-)
[Atrix 4G General] stevendeb25:
I am still waiting for my free work and play kit.

got one of those "sorry we missed you things" so think its here. but cheeky sods gotta pay 1.46 coz whoever sent it didnt pay full postage. lol hope its not orange
[Atrix 4G General] EclipseX:
atrix don't have fm radio =).....without bootloader unlock we can't do anything about that
[Atrix 4G General] T39andcounting:
Mine arrived today - delivered by UKMail. No extra postage to pay for me! Haven't had a chance to play yet, but will tackle that tonight.
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Happy, getting stuck in.

On french 2.1.1 and rooted for the time being.

Soon the freezing will begin, aswell as the transferring over from my desire.

Full linux webtop looks good, anyone trying it?

Swyped from 'mount' Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] stevendeb25:
no not tried it yet, will do soon tho. you would have thought on the webtop partition we might be able to boot off that instead of messing with boot loader like booting off mmc.
[Atrix 4G General] CodeMonkey:
So today I had another work & play kit show up without charge or warning lol. Yesterday I sent back the phone ordered off the web together with a SIM that showed up that morning (one that they said they couldn't send me)...

Going to try and pickup a standard dock for my bedside in store tomorrow. Then I just need to send back the first work & play kit and the first standard dock to finish cancelling the web order account.

Not the smoothest contract switch process but the end may finally be in sight lol...

Monkey see, monkey do.
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
So you ordered one phone, one web and play, and one sim.

How many did you get? And how many have you sent back?

Swyped from 'mount' Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] CodeMonkey:
Not exactly.

Sunday:

Ordered 1 phone (new contract) with SIM + Work n Play + Standard Dock from web.

Thursday:

Order delayed from Wednesday, phone arrived without SIM assigned / attached, docks delayed (order split).

Orange said that they couldn't supply a SIM for that phone so I had to return phone and wait for phone + SIM to be sent out. I disagreed, and we agreed that I'd cancel the web order and get a phone + accessories in store. So I went and got phone in store, but no accessories in stock so they said they'd send them out.

Friday:

Accessories for cancelled web order arrived (despatched after cancellation on Thursday).

Requested return bags

.....Numerous phone calls later.....

Store + some customer service staff tell me that I can use the web order accessories with my store phone and don't need to return them.

Returns tell me I must return the accessories or be deemed not to have cancelled the contract.

*Kafka-esk nightmare ensues*

My (store) account is (supposedly) credited with £80 to cover store cost of accessories pack + free dock for the hassle.

.....Time passes (mostly on the phone)....

Thursday: (week after delivery)

Return bag for web order phone arrives. SIM for web order phone arrives (despatched the Monday after I cancelled the order).

Return web order phone and SIM.

Friday:

Work and play kit shows up with different account number (neither web nor store) - I've assumed that this was despatched based on my last couple of phone calls with a troubleshooter on the Query team.

still waiting to return the web accessories - no bag shown up yet..
[Atrix 4G General] c_man:
Played with the Atrix today for the first time, in a Orange store.

Was really pleasently surprised. It confirms my suspicons that 4" is indeed the perfect size. The phone was pretty snappy too. I was pleased with the screen, despite so many reports of it's poor quality. Photos taken on the camera seemed pretty washed out / pale, not impressed at all. Back case felt really cheap, tapping with a finger really did sound cheap/plasticy :(.

If this phone had an unlocked bootloader / developer backing, it would easily be my preferred choice, above the SGSII and Sensation. Gutted.
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Now that's funny, not for you admittedly, but you'll look back and laugh. As you fall over web and play kits, and return bags.
[Atrix 4G General] ears1991:
Anyone here still on stock?

If so take a look here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/659-motorola-atrix-4g-general/562049-atrix-firmwares-superthread.html

no idea how but this guy seems to think he might be able to get hold of an sbf for us:

How to request for a firmware:

Submit the following files (using adb pull):

/system/default.prop

/system/build.prop

/system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/File_GSM

about phone > weptop version

if you can post those files to this guy maybe he could get it and then we have a way of getting back to stock, stab in the dark but worth a go i think
[Atrix 4G General] stevendeb25:
nice find m8, am on fr sbf so i cant help hopefully theres someone out there still on stock :)

what they mean all sbfs are unlocked?
[Atrix 4G General] CodeMonkey:
Well I'm past the worst of it now (I think), and I seem to be £130 up on the whole thing...

- Free work and play kit (didn't have to pay for it per store deal)

- £50 credit on store account to cover paying for work and play kit

- £30 credit for inconvenience to cover a standard dock (ordered from Amazon yesterday)..

At least the blood isn't roaring in my ears anymore :-)
[Atrix 4G General] stevendeb25:
my experience, softbricked phone using stock orange, so had to reflash using fr 2.1.1 sbf file
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Anyone able to do this, as preferred our stock rom, over fr 2.1.1?

Swyped from 'mount' Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] lonegunman:
I am still on stock, rooted tho, so will have a go during the week in pulling them files.
[Atrix 4G General] ears1991:
nice one, you might need to be rooted to pull them anyway seeing as they are in the system folder,

i assume you just need to open a command window in the adb folder, type adb shell, then su (accept request on phone), then adb pull /system/default.prop default.prop

and so on

havnt tried pulling files before but that seems to be how you do it
[Atrix 4G General] lonegunman:
No not used the adb pull as yet but have used adb for fastboot,rom flashing etc so sure it can't be too hard plus I am bound to find a guide around just incase.
[Atrix 4G General] rb_daman:
can anyone confirm if they've had any issues with unlocking? such as loss of 3G signal etc? Is there any way Orange can tell if the phone is unlocked (aside from putting in a non-orange sim card)? also, on a side note anyone manage to get their mobile hotspot to work as well?
[Atrix 4G General] lonegunman:
Unlocking does not affect anything,really dont think orange care much about unlocking as you can buy the unlock code from them,check on here you can sort out the mobile by adding tether on the last apn in the apn setting.
[Atrix 4G General] T39andcounting:
No issues for me since unlocking.

I had a lot of trouble with the mobile hotspot app... it occasionally worked, but often failed, so I rooted and installed Barnacle WiFi Tether from the marketplace, which has been great so far.
[Atrix 4G General] rb_daman:
I could honestly kiss you right now!!! You have no idea how long I have been trying to sort out my APN settings, even orange couldn't figure it out!
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
I'm having data turn off after prolong time with screen off, wether it H,3G or wifi. Orange phone unlocked running on tmobile, thought it was something I've frozen, on the fr 2.2.1 (pretty sure it is)

Already been in wifi settings and set to turn off never.

no problems here on o2-uk, using green power to control my data/wifi when screen is off, data/wifi always comes back on when screen unlocked.
[Atrix 4G General] T39andcounting:
Have you tried settings, battery manager, mode? I think the maximum battery settingsetting auto turns off data.
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Bugger, your right, had custom set it so it turned off after an hour. Forgot about battery manger *facepalm*

Unless someone from orange or motorola let's it out so to speak,I dont think we ever well,most orange roms dont work there way out in the wild.
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
How about that method mentioned earlier, if you pastebin them, or throw them in drop box, I'll see if they can find them.

Swyped from 'mount' Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] lonegunman:
I have the first 2 files the 3rd one is not on the phone,anyway I think that file (3rd one) is the radio rom which is on the web anyway,the other 2 files I guess is just inserted to a open rom file.
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
So if that's so, merging your files (if not edited with any of your personal information), with any sbf unziped files, plus radio, and orange bloat, would make our sbf? And then moto android pack it to a sfb, so it can be flashed through RSD.

Hmm I've just cracked the bootloader situation. :D

Swyped from 'mount' Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] lonegunman:
Could well be as easy as that I really dont know,one other thing to think about as well is coming soon is the 2.3 update that maybe in sbf format or may get you back to orange firmware if need be.
[Atrix 4G General] Galoot:
I had the same issue as you.. Orange sent me a phone with no Sim, the shop couldn't/wouldn't help so I had to send it back in a jiffy bag and now waiting for refund. Then had to order another from the shop which then failed the credit check because I was listed as having another contract with Orange from the other useless phone without a SIM.

Orange 's customer service is shockingly bad.. but cheap.
[Atrix 4G General] CodeMonkey:
Yeh they are a bit special.

Finally got my (2nd) returns bag today for the accessories that have to go back to the depot, and Royal Mail tracking tells me the phone got to them okay..

Once the dust settles (and I've had my holiday next week) I'll be emailing the chairman and writing to the Customer Complaints office at Orange. Going to give them a few home truths on their 'Excellent Customer Service' and see where that leads.

Unfortunately for Orange I've got no other major complaints going at the moment so they're next in the queue. My last one was Virgin Media, which wound up with me getting ~£450 in compensation..
[Atrix 4G General] lonegunman:
Thats the joy of walkng in the shop and picking it up, i know it may not be as easy for some as is others but everytime i do a upgrade its to the shop, in out with in 5 minutes, i have been with orange over 7 years and not had many problems but from what i have been hearing and from people i know who work in CS for orange and what i read on forums the orange CS is going downhill at a fast rate.......i hope you guys get it all sort as orange on a whole is not that bad.......
[Atrix 4G General] lonegunman:
Here are the 2 files if you want them. (in 7zip format)
[Atrix 4G General] daywalker04:
I'm the guy who gets the SBF files. I need more info besides the prop files.

/system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/File_GSM

about phone > weptop version

If you can't find File_GSM on your device go to M3 and ckeckout the ATRIX firmware superthread on how to extract more info.

Actually I don't. After a few minutes I already found the firmware. I will be posting links at M3 tonight after I upload the file - right now only Full version is available but no "service" version.
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
wonder if full version mean original sbf, rather than an "update" sbf.

Will grab tonight. Thank you lonegunman and daywalker, gives us a little more modding wiggle room, which is great.

Swyped from 'mount' Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] lonegunman:
Great job,glad i could help in a little way,on a side note i had a look round but could not work out how to get the file gsm, i guess i need to dump my phone and get it from that, if so how do i dump my phone?
[Atrix 4G General] ears1991:
Wow! thats awesome man will be handy if ever need to take the phone back! :D

Will probably stick with the french sbf for now as seeing as its retail it should get the gingerbread update straight away, but once its available on orange ill be straight on this and then OTA, thanks!

I dont suppose youd be able to get hold of a retail UK one aswell rather than french retail that we have atm? i doubt many people bought the phone sim free so i guess the files you need will be hard to get hold of, just a thought

also whats m3?
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
M3's page is in a link, couple of posts up.

Ps I definitely have blue led, nice!

Swyped from 'mount' Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] daywalker04:
Link for SBF for Orange UK is up at M3 in the Atrix Firmware Superthread.
[Atrix 4G General] ears1991:
thanks a lot!

OP: maybe add a link in your first post, will be handy for others im sure
[Atrix 4G General] T39andcounting:
Done! Thanks to @daywalker04 and everyone else who pulled these files. Very useful, and now I feel happier having a try with the other ROM options!
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
Sweet! Thank you all!

Edit: by the way incase you didn't know (I didn't), full sbf will wipe data, a service sbf will keep data.

Hi all, just a quick couple of questions for orange uk atrix owners: When making a phone call, whats the call quality like for you and the person on the other end? Any complaints? Can you hear them ok and can they hear you ok? (after all the complaints from the AT&T atrix users, i'm a bit worried) Also, whats it like playing non-tegra zone games from the market or other sources (i.e HD games from gameloft), does the atrix play them smoothly?

Mods - If I should have created a new thread for these questions, please accept my apologies.

Thanks

Ian
[Atrix 4G General] stevendeb25:
To be fair i dont use phone to call alot, but when i do i never had any problems.

HD games from gameloft i got 3 assissins creed, splintercell conviction and spiderman, they all run smooth, drains battery abit, and phone gets a tad hot, but its to be expected suppose.

I'm not a big game player, so can't comment on that, but call quality has been great so far. Much better than my old HTC Hero IMHO.

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right place for my question.

I've got the Atix on Orange. I've been told by Orange that as part of my data plan, I've will have use of the BT Openzone hotspots.

I've tried to use the BT Openzone Hotspots using "Easy Wifi" but with no success.

Has anyone connect to BT Openzone and what Application where you using ?
[Atrix 4G General] T39andcounting:
I don't have BT Openzone with Orange, but I've got it with my BT home broadband account. I use the BT Fon application, and I think there's also a BT Internet app. Would expect either of these to work for you.

What app to use for quadrant scores? Yes got all orange stuff back
[Atrix 4G General] nitrox1:
I use quadrant standard, but people use a couple of others for flops and comparing. It's not always a true rating of how smooth and quick a rom is, but it does allow for comparing different roms.

As for rooting, lonegunman is the only one I can definitely say is on rooted standard rom, should check his posts here, but think he used gingerbreak.

Just waiting on mine to be delivered today from Orange, can I ask which option did you use (link if possible) to root it, I'm a little dubious since its UK and most of the info is regarding US roms.

I always use ES file manager, found it used to work when rooted as well, titanium backup is also an extremely good purchase option if your rooted to ensure you have a backup and let you play with programs and remove / freeze them.

There's a video doing the rounds showing an official pre-release of 2.3.3 running on an at&t Atrix, and Motorola claimed the update would go out to Europe and the US at the same time, so fingers crossed! Also, should imagine that Orange would want to get this up to 2.3.3 as soon as possible as it's one of their flagship phones, so we shouldn't have too long to wait. One of the reasons I've stuck to stock so far as I don't want problems when 2.3.3 gets rolled out.
