[General Questions and Answers] TCfish:
Hey, I'm a developer who already has this program that does complex data entry, designed for field service reporting. The problem is it was written for Windows Mobile 5 (which is no longer supported) and runs on old HP iPAQ's (hardware that is no longer being manufactured or sold). There are only about 30 units on the field and I have enough backup units to keep the company running for a little while, but a more long term solution is in order.

I've been looking around for a new device that does what I need.

Really all that's needed is Wi-Fi capability (which applies for most everything out there anyways), built-in database (which I thought was widespread but apparently isn't included in Windows Phone 7), and a touchscreen (for signature capturing purposes). It could be a phone, tablet, pda, eda, or really anything.

Now,this seems like a forum with a bunch of veteran developers for a wide range of mobile computing products. Do you guys have any good recommendations for what device would be good/cost effective? It doesn't have to be the same programming language and porting it is no problem, I just need ideas on what devices would be good for the job.

I did read the instructions for upgrading stock to cm7.

It said that I need froyo bootloader

I can't find it, so maybe someone can link me to it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merophosis:
I believe, that they are referring to something along the lines of Clockwork mod, cuz I just flashed coming from Trigger Final to CM7 last night, using CWM and it went flawlessly =)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
I think I know what you're referring to. Flash back to stock (jfd) and them use lies mini to upgrade to kb5. This gets you gve bootloader tbeurw talking about. Then flash back to jfd and flash whatever rom you want.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
For some reason my 1st post didn't take!

Try the AT&T store. A colleague of mine dropped his new iPhone 4 last week smashing the camera lens. On the off chance he went to the AT&T store, and although the part was not there in the store, they have ordered it for him free/gratis. Never hurts to ask! I was dumbfounded when he told me this, but it happened nevertheless.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Guess my 1st post did take cos' I see you posted the same question in both General and Q&A, and I apparently responded to both.

Please don't do this again!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snake7:
It seems i've made something wrong...

yes i've posted in three forums, just because i didn't know in which one the topic fit the best :

1-Atrix 4G General

Discussion about the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (general, tips & tricks, Q&A, etc)

It is a general question (looking for spare parts) and the forum description includes Q&A.

2-Atrix 4G Q&A

For all of your questions relating to the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G

This is a question!

3-Atrix 4G Accessories

Accessories for the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (cases, screen protectors, batteries, etc)

not an accesorie but about spare part, so it is related.

I just wanted to maximize the chance to get an answer by posting in these forums.

Before posting, i've checked that in any of them there was a thread about replacement part for power button/fingerprint reader replacement part.

So please calm down, there is no need to ask for ignore/ban me. As all of you (i hope!) i'm human and we can do mistake and learn from. I did one and i won't do it again.

Back to the original topic

Thank you CaelanT for your answer but i'm in europe, so reaching a AT&T store will be difficult/very expensive for me...

(yes, i've posted in ATRIX 4 AT&T forum, but for this replacement part it doesn't matter, and this phone is not only sold in US: canada, belgium, UK, fance... and this is the only one forum about Motorola Atrix in this website),

It is easy to find replacement part for screen or other part on the net, but i've spent one full day looking for fingerprint reader and found..... nothing!

Moreover it is a pity for a phone which is so easy to open and replace/repair itself (tutorial available on ifixit)

Anyone else has any idea/suggestions/websites for replacement parts?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:

Power Button

I am having the very same issue and none of the replies here are helping. All I am seeing is persons complaining and sending people all over the place to other post which dont have the answer. I have been searching online for a solution and I am not seeing anything other than take it back to at&t which is not possible because at&t is in America.

Anyways If there is someone kind enough to (1) explain where is the actual power button located (in the finger print scanner or under the scanner) and (2) what to change to get this fix( eg a ribbon, the finger print scanner or is there a button I should buy). I am not looking for a work around what I want to do is change what ever it is that I need to change to get fix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresrivas:
Thing is, power burton is a soft button sitting below the fingerprint reader, it is completely independant. Thing is, i dont remeber if it is soldered to the motherboard or is apart. Either way, i think tou need to get it from another atrix.

Here at the forum a user posted a site that sells spare parts at low prices, perhaos they have what you need!

Have you tried ebay? There spares all over the place and if you don't find the flex itself you may as well buy an Atrix with a broken LCD and use it for parts.

Sent from my MB855
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digisylk:
Two ebay sellers told me that the flex cable dont come with the power button so I took your advise and bought one that is damage, lcd and digitizer. This will in fact work out better for me being that my digitizer is bad ( already had order one which is on its way) I broke off the wifi button on the board and not the power button got damage.

So for all the people out ther asking about the power BUTTON ITS RIGHT UNDER THE FINGERPRINT SCANNER AND IS NOT SOLD ON THE FLEX CABLE YOU HAVE TO GET IT FROM AN OLD ATRIX SAME FROM THE WIFI EITHER GET IT FROM ANOTHER ATRIX OR BUY A MOTHERBOARD .. I have no idea where to get a board from.

So today, i decided to update my camera firmware. When i clicked update, it took me to samsung apps, which needed an update. So i wait for that to get done, then have to exit samsung apps and in the camera check for update again. It loads samsung apps and downloads the camera update. So i go to the apps drawer, click on Camere Firmware to install it, and this pops up on the screen:

Lol sorry for the pic, didnt have enough time to use the ddms.bat from the sdk, let alone boot up the laptop, so i grabbed my moms lg rumor touch before it finished.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfellars77:
Is it possible to remove the phone capabilites from the captivate and turn it into a media device? I had to swith to a WP7 phone, but have so many apps that I rely on that I would love to strip out the cellular and phone components. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Yes, I know removing the sim card prevents the phone from working, but that is not what I asked. I want to remove the phone software components entirely so that the radio is completely inactive.

IT WORKS - Deleted:

Phone.apk

callsettings.apk

messaging.apk

csc

telephony.apk

anything sim related

and anything else that force closes after reboot. Emergency call no longer an option. Battery life seems very good.

If anyone is interested in a full list, I may reflash and try again, this time writing down what I deleted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtukin:
Simple. Just take out the SIM card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Gave this one a lot of thought before posting, I see.:rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xThe Enforcer:
Makes two of us, lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfellars77:
Yes, but that still leaves in the ability to make emergency calls and the like. What I really want to do is strip out all of the Phone components of the OS to ideally help improve battery life.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
With the SIM card out the phone section is not functioning. Meaning, it is no longer continually looking for a signal connection to a tower and burning up battery. The 911 function is only active when used, so it is not draining your battery. I'm guessing that the circuitry of the phone is so dependent on other components that there's no way to remove any one aspect physically and still have the rest function. You will be amazed at the battery life you get without a SIM card installed and the phone section inoperative.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfellars77:
Yeah, I get that. Although I know my toddler will figure out how to dial 911 as soon as I turn my back. :) Maybe I can remove phone.apk and that will do it.

I am attempting to root my friend's evo here at work. He has hboot 2.1. I am attempting to use unrevoked. My issue is that after the phone reboots I get the following error in unrevoked - Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again.

I see that I have s-off now. Does this mean that I have full root? When I attempt to go into recovery I get the picture of the phone with the red traingle/!.

Sorry that I have not searched, I want to get his phone up and running before we get out of work.

I do not have any programs installed that should interfere with the process (Sync, doubletwist etc)

I now know that I don't have root either
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffm922:
If you have s-off then you have root. That triengle means theres no recovery installed, there should of been one when you used unrevoked. You made sure usb debugging was on correct? Try booting up the phone and going into rom manager (should of been installed with unrevoked) If not download from the market and flash a recovery. I suggest using amon ra, its in the "flash alternate recovery" portion of rom manager.

If i remember correctly ur supposed to uninstall htc sync before using unrevoked to and install their drivers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiz0r:
I do not have root. I downloaded rsa keys checker from the market and it says I do not have root. I have no additional apps that were installed during the unrevoked process.

Yes USB debugging is turned on.

All I use on my evo is RA :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
Make sure your default connection is charge only and not something else, turn off the anti virus on your computer, make sure that in display settings your phone screen doesn't time out, or change it to 30 minutes before timeout and rerun unrevoked, when you run it right click and run as administrator
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiz0r:

Hey guys I know there are different posts for different phones regarding this but I just thought I'd post one here so I could get a clear answer.

I have a Mac Book Pro and I want to root my Atrix 4g. I'm pretty new to Android so I'm not really good with any of the programs I have to use to root my phone. I know that there are plenty of programs that I can use on a PC, but I was wondering if there was one I can use for my Mac. If there is can someone give me a quick walkthrough of it and help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

my power/screen lock button is stuck i believe, my phone is rooted and i wanted to flash back to stock but i can't enter download mode using the vol up/down method because the power button is stuck i think and it keeps taking me to the recovery/reboot screen. is there another way for me to enter download mode? i tried using the abd method but everytime i type what it says in the command prompt, it says that pathway is not recognized or something. please help me!

if someone can tell me how to do the abd method, it would be greatly appreciated

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Damn that sucks dude.

Adb is of no use now, try the button combos a few more times, if that don't get it to dl mode you will need a jig.

Better than being bricked though!!

You can still recover from this.

damn i was hoping it wouldnt come to that. do you think if i bring it to ATT device support and say i decided to mess around with my phone one day and that just happened they would give me a new phone? haha, because i mean, it is because the power button is stuck so i can't "release" the power button when it needs to be released in the process of fixing it right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Good point, I've been hopping around threads all day and forgot that was your issue ... Tell them about the power button thing and that you were using kies to update thinking it would fix the issue but something happened during the process "idk maybe the power button was still stuck" you should be ok.

[Defy General] Quetza:
First of all, Hi!

I'll try to go straight to the problem and provide the information needed to identify it!

Problem: My Defy got stuck at M logo after installing a Fixed SFB from the 2.3.3 Android. I used the Fixed SFB provided here by the "Official 2.3.3 Orange GB with MotoBlur" thread.

My phone Android: Untill now, I had a 2.2 Froyo used on Pay's Rom for Defy (last 5.1 Build) installed, with "no problems at all" (besides some annoying bugs).

My phone Hardware: Its a Defy, recently bought (4 months agos) with the green lens camera

What did I do:

(i) Installed RSD 4.9 and Drivers on the PC

(ii) cleared Cache, Memmory, etc etc etc, on the bootloader.

(iii) Installed the fixed SBF on the phone with RSD 4.9

(iv) RSD says it was succesful installed and ask to Manually Power Up the Phone. (It already had turned it on so I left as it was).

(v) After a few minutes (20+), I was still stuck!

(vi) Tried to do all steps mentioned above, with no luck.

(vii) Just restarted the phone annndddd, still stuck so far!

Question: What should I do now to fix the mess?

Thanks everyone!

Updating, I'm downloading again the SBF in case I got it corrupted.

PROBLEM SOLVED, SBF WAS CORRUPTED BEFORE AND NOW WORKED!
