[Atrix 4G Android Development] binary110:
I have the french SBF installed and greyblur/root. - I havent tried it, I doubt it will work on the french SBF. I really didn't realize how screwed we bell guys are without a factory SBF to work with. I feel like we get shafted out of all countries that got the atrix.

I just got my battery life issues sorted out, So even if i were able to try it, I wouldn't want to, But maybe there are useful fixes in it for the developers. We are getting custom roms for the ATT phones. Hopefully bell and international are soon.

I saw a post on motorola's forums from a guy who has a bell atrix that wants them to post a factory sbf for us so that we are "on par" with other countries around the world. i agree.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hburn:
Should we stay on 2.1.1 and wait to flash the modem only or is this version better than 2.1.1

I hAve a bell atrix..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zero-K:
I am/was rooted and I was able to do the update. Just a bunch of fixes in it I guess. No major changes except for the faster upload. That's nice

You will have to re-root after installing it though. Gingerbreak works fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chelseatechguy:
i installed the french sbf to get grey blur going so i'm guessing update won't work...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
I'd like to know this as well.

I'm thinking of at least flashing the new radio after work today though. People seem to say it's better than the one shipped with 2.1.1. I'll keep checking these threads though to wait for more comments.

Thanks for sharing your comments and experiences, guys. It's always very much appreciated. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] binary110:
I Didn't say it wont work for the french SBF, I just haven't tried.

I'm at work right now and can't have my phone go down at all, or i'll get fired. Which is why im not just jumping in and testing it.

Can someone confirm if it works or not with the Telstra SBF? I'm not on stock sbf, im greyblurred. If it does work, i'll re-sbf this thing to 2.1.1, and run the bell update.

I think my issue is that i'm rooted/greyblurred. So unless is flash sbf, and then try, i doubt it will work here.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sonofabit:
I tried to run this over the French SBF, but was unable to.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sservati:
Did the rooting method work on this? Can you verify if the WebTop without Dock MOD works on this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] daymz:
I took the Bell 37.23 update this morning.

My root was gone (I had originally rooted using GladRoot 4.3) and there was no longer any /osh/sbin/frozenfish.

I re-rooted my 37.23 using Gingerbreak 1.20 and it worked perfectly.

EDIT: just ran Speedtest.net mobile in downtown Montreal (great reception quality) and got 5737 kbps down and 2335 kbps up :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] maxcc:
Can I run the update even if i have froze all the bloatware? And will I have to re-freeze them after the update? ¸

I am kinda new to android but have a good experience in modding other mobile os (webos, wm5).

Thank you :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] desidre:
quick question

i have french sbf

can i restore stock bell sbf to get this update

if yes where can i get stock bell sbf
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nate_benji:
As of right now, there is no known bell sbf out there. I'm in the same boat as alot of people, stuck on the french 2.2.1.

I will flash the telstra sbf to see if the update will install onto it. But im guessing no.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zero-K:
Yes, you can still update. They should stay frozen, but if not, then just re-root and freeze them again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zero-K:
GingerBreak 1.20 works great.

Can't verify if the mod works or not as I don't have it. Hopefully someone can chime in.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dascope:
For us Bell guys on the French Telstra 2.1.1 SBF with GingerBlur/GreyBlur... I guess it is time to find out if an existing SBF that can be flashed on our phone will allow us to perform the upgrade.

I've performed a full backup using Titanium Backup and will start working on this.

Do let us know if anyone has any success!

Can't wait to have a "base" SBF for the Bell Atrix. I hope they lighten up.

**Update: I've placed the zip file I downloaded from the first post on the root of my SD card - when I go to "About Phone - System Updates", it tells me I am up-to-date and that no update is necessary at this time. I was under the impression I'd get a chance to launch the update but it would fail around 20%... am I the only one?

**Update 2: Ended up flashing the Bell radio posted by NFHimself instead... Upload speeds almost double from 1.5 to 2.6-2.8 mbps. I guess I'll wait for a Bell SBF before moving forward. Actually probably just going to wait for the July GB update :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
I think it's time to move this thread to General. Or merge it with the half dozen other threads talking about the same thing.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prince_72:
I tried to install the update but it fails whatever I do.

I format everything and actually I flash the system.img from a previous thread

just to return my phone to it's initial state.

Again nothing.

Is there another way to install the update?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SpeeDemon:
I was unable to update until I unfroze all my apps. If you get the Triangle/Exclamation mark, you can touch the very bottom right of the screen and it will show you where/why it failed. Usually its because it is trying to verify some app and cannot, thus fail.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
Use this to get back to stock Bell Firmware:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013093

All you have to do is root useing that then use Full Phone Restore you can then use the system update from there.

Credit to NFHimself for showing me how to do this :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aliafi90:
hey sorry can you explain a little bit more on how to do it,i've downloaded version 9 , am i supposed to put it on my phone or run the menu.bat on my computer?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prince_72:
SpeedDamon

Very nice tip.

Now I know why the update fails.

It fails because of the /system/app/DockService.apk

It seems the system.img that is referred above does not have the DockService.apk

Does anyone has the DockService.apk so I can install it to the /system/app
[Atrix 4G Android Development] XperiaX1a:
mine says dockprovider.apk
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Wond3r:
For those of you that have managed to do this update - is it worth doing?

I'm thinking to just wait for 2.3.4 instead of wiping now for this, and then wiping again for 2.3.4
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ks2hot4u:
This is usualy from having the webtop mod. Meaning you replaced the dockservice apk, portalapp.apk and changed the corresponding .odex files to .bak to fix you will need to return the original apk's and set there permissions easily done with root explorer also rename the .bak's back to .odex I have these files backed up to 4shared

Link. http://www.4shared.com/folder/7f2mKWki/_online.html
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
You don't need to install anything on your phone. Just make sure you root it using the menu.bat and then once that is done go to full phone restore. It will then download what you need and run it automatically. Be patient though it takes a really long time. Stayed up till 12:30 in the morning waiting. If you need more of an explantion just PM me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] prince_72:
Just a small update

I found again the DockService.apk (from bell image) and I copied to the

/syste/app

I tried the update and then it complained for the DockService.odex

I copied the odex as well but again the verification failed

Very strange.

Are these odex files device dependent?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ks2hot4u:
read my post above addressed to you...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spuzzum:
installed update and rooted

I installed the update and rooted my phone with gingerbreak. then installed CWM and did another backup. Uninstalled the hdmi mirroring apk first though. Everything seems ok.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] awryter:
I used the deox script to attempt to Restore my device

1) Menu.bat to root my device

2) Restored device to original Bell firmware (I was on French 2.1.1 with Greyblur et al)

Went through the motions, downloaded the firmware OK, wrote all the blocks correctly up to 13. Then it waited for the phone to restart but the phone didn't restart on its own. I gave it a little push, pressed the power button, and it reset and now the Motorola logo comes up and looks like it's booting, but I get a flashing red LED. It then after a few seconds resets itself and starts again.

Is there anything in this script that will allow me to save my device?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] raybond25:
if you flash the 2.1.1 sbf again, you should be able to at least get your device back to where you started
[Atrix 4G Android Development] minniecafe:
I have the same problem in the first try; press vol down and start button at the same time and get into discovery mode; keep press few more times on the vol down until you see the RSD mode; connect with USB and run RSD lite again to flash the French rom again and it will back to 2.1.1..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Already replied to via pm, but you just have to wait, 1-11 partitions are small, they get done quickly, 12 takes a while, 5 mins maybe, 13 is osh, it is 3 times larger than 12, it will take 15 mins likely, and so on until preinstall 17which is around the same as system.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ratchet556:
If it told him to wait for a restart shouldn't it be good to go? That happened to me aswell with the flashing led I just booted into android recovery and wiped data/factory reset.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
Sure thing, flashing led just means you are on a reboot countdown, it's actually in logcat, "shutting down in 59 secs..", "shutting down in 58 sec..", that kind of thing. If you are there then you must be done already.

Cheers!

I Know this is a bit off topic, but i'm trying to find out some information for a bell atrix. Do you guys have any roms you can suggest that will work on the bell atrix? every thing i see says, "Do not try on bell atrix" and i dont want to risk anything.

Will it work on this new updated version? I'm only familiar with installing custom roms on a Galaxy S, the Atrix seems to be a bit tougher to...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
What up peeps! I decided not to go with the iPad2 and wait on the galaxy tab and man am I happy. I love this device so far but unfortunately I have never worked with Android before so some things that I figured would be pretty self explanatory aren't quite that. I did some searching around this forum and havent seen the question asked so here goes. I connected my Tab to my PC and moved all of my photos into the the photos folder. However when I go to my gallery native app, my photos do not appear. I tried to go into the settings to see if I could map my gallery to the photos folder but to no avail. Where exactly am I suppose to load my gallery images to for them to show up when I launch the gallery app. Second question related to gallery, I can get to my photos folders using any one of the file explorer apps, and view my photos there but when I try to set them up as my wallpaper, they only take up a portion of the screen instead of the whole screen like the native wallpapers. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance for any help! Much appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] danielsjam:
Reboot and your photos should show in gallery. I believe the only folder that is auto scanned for changes is DCIM/camera.

The wallpaper is an android thing, it sucks. There may be an app in the market to set wallpaper, but all the ones I have seen always crop and zoom. I think I saw something in the general section of the transformer forum for setting wallpaper.

BTW the resolution on the default wallpaper is 2135x1408.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
Thanks Daniel. You are the man! I thought it auto scanned each time you opened Gallery after I saw the images i moved into the DCIM/Camera. They are all where they should be now! I have to agree about the Wallpaper. Its pretty jacked up with the always crop and zoom. I'm going to head out to the market and see if I can find a better wallpaper app. I'll look in Transformer general section to see if I can pull the name of the app! Much appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stat1124:
Wallpaper Wizardrii is the answer to all funky cropping

Daniel-

You are the man. I found this over in the Transformer general section. Works like a charm.

Finally a Fix for your Wallpaper Re-sizing/Cropping.

1.Download: Wallpaper Wizardrii - Free on Android Market

2.Preferences: HD Image Size - Change to 1600

Image Compression - Change to 100% (actually equals 0 Compression)

3. Enjoy your full image.

For Fun turn off wallpaper scrolling when you set your Image and watch your Home Screen Fly!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vansmack:
I also use a feature in an app called Gallery Excluder that allows me to force a scan of all files at my leisure.

The purpose of the app is to exclude folders from the scan, but one feature is to force the scan of all folders. It works well.

vansmack..BTW luv the handle!

I will have to try this one out too! It hasnt been 24hrs yet and Im already down to 10gbs left on my 32gb GTab! LOL Im loving every minute of it.

Now the next question is do I root it so I can tether it to my iPhone! Still searching the forums for an alternate solution but so far every app I downloaded doesnt even see my iphone as a wifi hotspot! LOL
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] anilkuj:
just try QuickPic instead of the default gallery , it has all these features inbuilt.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vansmack:
iPhone 4 or 3GS?

I don't think the 3 can create and infrastructure hot spot, only ad-hoc which takes rooting to connect to. I could be wrong about that though as I'm not an Apple guy.

If you have a 4, TetherMe is an app that should allow you to create an infrastructure hotspot and your 10.1 will connect to it.

Or you can just get a Nexus S 4G like me with infrastructure mode out of the box... ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] anilkuj:
for 3GS if you have jailbroken you can try MyWi it can create infrastucture hotspot i believe/

I think the title says it all.Btw,my phone isn't rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andejx:
even with root access I'm not aware of any way to do this without essentially factory resetting.

A quick google of "how to change primary google account on android" led to a few suggestions of wiping the data for all the google apps on the phone, but that would wipe all apps/emails/contacts with gmail/ etc. and many people are saying that it just factory resets after that anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarpathianUK:
Isn't it just doing:-

1) Settings

2) Accounts and sync

3) Click on existing Google account under "Manage accounts"

4) Click "Remove Account" button

5) Add the new one you'd rather use.

I've not done this myself as I have the one on my phone that I use but it seems like the right place. Are there issues if this route is used?

:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokertt:
that seems the best and fastest way but it wipes all your data.I saw another method of changing the primary email but it involves a so-called ,,google apps'' app found in manage applications and selecting ,,clear data'' but so far i couldn't find it and i believe this issue is general to all gingerbread phones
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardsa86:
It worked for me

nice CarpathianUK I never even knew you could do that...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
??? What do you mean? It doesn't wipe ALL of your data. It wipes your contact/calendar info... because that stuff is tied to your google account. It doesn't wipe your installed apps. CarpathianUK's suggestion does exactly what you are asking about.

If you want to keep your contact info, you'll have to either copy them to your SIM card (they may be there already), or re-enter them in your contact list of the google account you want to use as your primary. I think for calendar info, you have to export your google calendar from the account you're using now, and import it to the account you want to use.

As far as the "so-called google apps" app - that isn't an app that shows up in "manage applications", per se. The Google apps is .apk that installs the market and other proprietary Google apps, like the gmail app. It exists because some ROMs (like CyanogenMod) cannot legally distribute the Google apps as part of their ROM, so they must link to the .apk externally to allow users to install them.

How to change primary account in android without resetting

Worked for android 4.2.2

2. Delete all data for Gmail.

3. Force stop Gmail.

4. Got settings > accounts

5. Uncheck all Sync options

6. Remove that account!

7. Sign in to google with new account.

You're done!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ipawd1:
I'm currently looking in the market for an app that will let me know what's using my CPU As well as what is continuously synching. I've turned off automatic sync and background data, but it'd be nice to know what apps I could freeze so I can at least get ym emails normally...

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] StephenMilone:
spare parts' battery history function may have the info you're looking for. you can check for cpu usage, network usage, gps, partial wake..

otherwise i'd suggest watchdog lite, it monitors CPU usage and alerts you when a rogue app goes past the threshold
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ipawd1:
With Watchdog [I got the app free with Amazon app of the day]. How do I go about freezing an app through there?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yareally:
I would just turn sync back on and do a logcat in the background while it syncs. That would probably show it. Most likely unless it's the Mail app or whatever that's doing the syncing itself, it's probably a core application in the android/htc framework that you wont be able to disable without crashing/bricking your phone as well. You could modify the file in that case perhaps if you decompiled and read through the dalvik byte code. Lot of work though for something I would probably just live with.

You can't freeze with watchdog.. try bloat freezer or titanium backup
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] polstein:
Thinking about getting this tablet, but something that I've seen mentioned a couple of times but I haven't seen a solution......

Is is possible to keep your tablet/phone/desktop in synch?

The top ones I can think of off the top of my head are eBooks and Twitter.

Most of the day I'm going to be using my phone. I'm not going to carry my tablet around wherever I go - but when I'm home at night I want to pick up my book where I left off & not have to manually skip to the page I'm on. I think Kindle might have something like this, but most of my books are converts from text files (currently using iReader).

Same thing for Twitter, but not as bad. Is there any way or combination so when I load new feeds - I'll only see new ones?

Other more minor ones I can see are some games (keeping progress), podcasts (for me mostly listen in the car anyway) - probably others I'm not thinking of.

I also am using dropbox now, but as far as I know there is no 'auto-sync files in this folder' option. So one possible solution of keeping critical files stored in a folder still wouldn't auto-sync unless you manually constantly upload & download the files.

Any good ways around this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaskell:
sounds like you want the asus padfone.. no syncing required
[HTC Sensation] sentientdolphin:
So, I've been afflicted with the death grip issue at home something fierce. If I hold the phone in landscape mode as if I were to type with my thumbs, the wifi cuts out. It doesn't seem to matter how close I am to the wifi router or if I turn on Wi-Fi best performance. At home, the network is configured to use 802.11g for compatibility with some older devices.

At work, I run an 802.11n network (I'm the IT Director). While I've got much better access points and better line of sight, I have similar sorts of distances. With 802.11n the death grip issue seems less significant. The network never drops out completely (I lose maybe a bar) although network *traffic* seems to stall to a degree. This is true even if I go into other rooms where I don't have great line of sight.

I'm still doing some surreptitious testing (since I have work to do, too) but I thought I'd ask the rest of you if you're having seriously issues with the death grip, what mode is your wifi in? 802.11g or 802.11n?
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
I really haven't had this problem, when I hold it in landscape it goes down 1 bar but comes right back,I'm starting to think its device related ,just like the HD2 some of them had wi-fi issues and it was just the hardware couldn't do nothing about it but exchange the device
