If you buy the phone off ebay or something, you don't need data plan. The same sim card will work.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] diagnosisdroid:
Can anyone double check on the sidekick 4g and tzones situation. I am looking for a qwerty phone on tzones.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ylopez2007:
I am also wondering if the Sidekick 4G works with tzones or web2go data plan.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] badboi_zero:
Or if you buy off contract. Android phones don't require data plans unless you buy a phone on contract for the subsidized price that states so. I bought a mt3gs off-contract so I could always add/remove my data plan.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JewRican:
I just picked up a BMW 335i with idrive and bluetooth but I am about to go crazy trying to get the address book to sync with the car.

I have an Incredible running the HTC Gingerbread leak from a few months ago and cannot get my address book to sync with the car. My wife has an incredible non-rooted and running 2.2 and hers works like a charm. When she syncs hers it shows as a phone. mine shows as a bluetooth headset. This is on the same car and a minute apart. I have repaired over and over and over again with no success.

Anyone have any ideas? What can I do to get this to pair?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnewton3110:
As the subject states I want to know if there is any possible way to connect to another android phone from my Atrix and push files to and root other non-rooted files?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
Are you just asking how to send files between phones? If so u can use Bluetooth, wifi file explorer, swap sdcards or send an email with the file...if not then you need to be more specific.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minooch:
I would suppose it would be possible if you're using weptop & the lapdock or maybe the media dock
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnewton3110:
Yeah to be more specific in the small area I live Im about the only person who knows how to root phones and I have several people wanting me to do it for them. Currently the only method I have is via my dinosaur desktop.

Was hoping someone could direct me to a file, app, or method to use my Atrix to root other phones without involving a desktop or laptop computer.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minooch:
Z4Root from the market works on a few phones - worth a try
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Knowing which phones and the carriers would help to start also.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnewton3110:
So far most of the people needing to root are using a Samsung Captivate on AT&T.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JdgM3NT4L:
I think that what he wants to do is something like fire up a terminal window on his atrix, connect via ADB to the other phones using that terminal window, and basically eliminate the need for a pc.

That's a great question. As far as an answer goes. I ain't got no clue.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
when i had my captivate i would use superoneclick but you need a desktop. try looking for a root method that involves using system recovery to flash a zip file that way you can just carry the file in your phone and transfer to theirs. im not up to date with the captivate so i dunno if a method exist.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Alex_:
To access another phone remotely, you want to be on the same WiFi LAN and install something like SSHDroid for a SSH daemon on the other machine, so you can connect using Android Terminal Emulator over wifi instead of a usb cable and using ADB.

If this is all greek to you, start googling!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
I don't think that will work. He's trying to get root on the other phone, but SSHDroid is fairly gimped unless you already have root on the phone. Also, Android Terminal Emulator would probably be useless. You'd need to find an ssh client from the market instead.

There's a thread in the dev section for an arm version of adb. That would actually let you connect another phone to your Atrix and run adb commands off of it... If you have the lapdock. If you don't, I don't know of any way to connect two phones directly by cable.

The update.zip + bluetooth method suggested by neotekz is probably the more realistic method, since I assume you don't have the lapdock.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnewton3110:
This. This is EXACTLY what I want to do. You have been helpful. Is SSHdroid on the market?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
It's on the market, but as I said, it won't work as you're hoping. I mean, how can you use the "su" command to be able to do all the good stuff unless that other phone has already been rooted? But since the point is to try to get root, it's a chicken and egg thing.

Look into the update.zip thing. Or if you succeed with sshdroid and SSH, come back here and let us know how because I'd really be curious to know how you managed it ;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sun7eash3d:
If you're on a stock AT&T build, you should still be able to root with GingerBreak, but then again, I'm not even sure if they have sideloading enabled yet, so that may not even be an option. It's been nothing but GingerBlur and HKTW for me since they were released.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell2011:
If i have my Hero flashed from Ntelos to Metro Pcs since i wont be in Ntelos area anymore will i lose my ROM im on the 2.3.4 GB deck 5 23-2011 rom. I was told i will only have talk and txt. Will i still be able to have wifi working. Also i have google voice with sipgate thru wifi which i wont need anymore unless i dont have a signal. I just want to make sure i wont lose this rom or radio. Experts please
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fazulka:
I have never flashed a phone to a different carrier, but I think I can help.

Wifi has nothing to do with the carrier and will not be affected by the flash.

From other posts on here I have read that the ROM has nothing to do with the carrier either. Once the PRL and Radio are set up correctly you can use any of the Hero ROMs.

[Atrix 4G General] XLR88:
Just flashed france's version of froyo on my ATT US Atrix and I have to say that it much better compared to our stock ATT Froyo(OLYFR 1.8.3)

Prerequisites

AT&T Atrix 4G with and UNLOCKED bootloader

Windows OS x64/x86

Motorola drivers installed

Alright, download these two files(1, 2) and use hjsplit to merge them.

Once the .rar file is merged, go ahead and extract it to to the root of your C drive and then you should have a folder in there called moto-fastboot.

Now its time to start flashing. Follow the following steps, one at a time.

Firstly, put your device in Fastboot mode by holding the volume down button while booting then volume up

Open up a command prompt and type

cd C:\moto-fastboot

moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img

moto-fastboot flash system system.img

moto-fastboot flash webtop webtop.img

moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img

moto-fastboot -w

moto-fastboot reboot

If you followed the steps correctly you should have OLYEM 2.1.1 on your AT&T Atrix.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] Pat123:
Please post a guide to do that, would help for sure! Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
I pm'd you, hopefully it went through. Was wondering if it would be possible to use your methods to flash 1.8.3 on a Bell Atrix, and then unlock the bootloader from there.
[Atrix 4G General] lomna:
Great news. I was always wanting to flash the AT&T Atrix with the UK France firmware, but thought and was told it would brick the phone because of the different bands.
[Atrix 4G General] polaris441:
Is it just flashing sbf file using rsdlite

or

[Atrix 4G General] Rev1vaL:
flashing now

another quick ques, keep root or am i going to have to re-root? (i realize by the time you respond i'll probably already have my answer)

flashed everything ok, but my data isn't working now. maybe I need to add the att apn?

edit - flashed back to 1.8.3 since i couldn't figure it out and no one seems to be paying attention to this, lol
[Atrix 4G General] XLR88:
Run this script then use gingerbreak to root(SD card must be inserted with USB debugging turned on).

Add apn using these settings.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] Rev1vaL:
lol reflashed back to 2.1.1, and just used gb without the prep and it went through fine.

good looks, i like this version of blur. looks better.

edit - this has been such a fun night of flashing that i've popped my sim card out and put it in my iphone 4 temp. those apn settings work, but here's the issue. i'm getting data speeds that are worse than vzw 3g. i'm normally around 4-6 mbs down/ 1 up where i am, and i was getting .4 and .4 up/down. also tried to add the manual one from android central for the samsung g s II, and that didn't work at all. until that gets figured out, i'm going to leave the sim card in my iphone

[HTC EVO 3D] vulcZ:
Anyone else notice that the app drawer within ADW is EXTREMELY laggy on the EVO 3D? I've tried messing with all of the settings and none of them seem to have an effect. I've even made the app drawer as small as possible (minimum amount of vertical and horizontal apps per screen) and it's still incredibly slow and laggy.

Tried uninstalling it and no change. Haven't tried using ADW Ex because I didn't want to have to pay for it if it isn't going to fix my issue, but I will if I have to.

Anyone else experience this?
[HTC EVO 3D] vulcZ:
I went ahead and just bought EX and the lag is completely gone LOL

I'd still like to know why the free version lags though, and I'm sure if others would too if they are having the same problem. I doubt the solution is simply "buy EX" :)
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
Wish I would've caught you before you wasted your money! GO Launcher EX is far and away the best launcher out of all of them. It takes the best bits of launcher pro, adw, and miui, rolls them all into 1 flawless experience and it's free... Check it out and tell me I'm wrong please! Lol

The bottom part of the screen is "raised" a bit from the bezel. Whitch also causes light to leak through the edges...

Mostly cosmetic but over time and general wear or a good drop it can cause more problems down the road

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2leaponover1:
Hey all, new Atrix owner here coming from a MyTouch 4G. I'm completely perplexed here. I switched my launcher from the default blur launcher to adw launcher ex. Suddenly there is a black bar at the bottom and right of the screen that the wallpaper does not fill. I took off wallpaper scrolling and the wallpaper is completely centered but with a black border around it. I can't seem to get my wallpaper full size! I suspect it has an issue to do with me using Titanium Backup for a lot of my apps... maybe the launcher or something takes the phone and screen size into account when it gets installed. I've reset adw launcher to default config and that didn't work. I really would appreciate any help with this before I have to randomly uninstall and reinstall apps. I put a white wallpaper on there and removed the bottom dock so you can see the black border i'm referring too. Thanks for any help!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AragornPE:
I think it's related to Atrix unusual resolution. Maybe ADW doesn't have a fix for Atrix screen. You should email the developer and ask him if it's fixable.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2leaponover1:
Hmm, Adw is pretty popular though, can anyway else confirm this? Thanks for the response!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2leaponover1:
Confirming it is doing the same thing for launcher pro... This is so frustrating. When i started up launcher pro it was fine... i went to preferences, changed wallpaper scrolling to off, and went back and the wallpaper shrunk! Then i went back to preferences and changed it to scrolling and it didn't fix it. Changing the wallpaper didn't make a difference again. UGGH!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tykazowsky:
Did you delete then reinstall the app? I know a lot of my games especially didn't transfer over phones with titanium backup. But uninstalling then redownloading from the market worked

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2leaponover1:

Wallpaper Wizardrii

This app will allow you to set any wallpaper on your phone, and also select options such as making it scrollable, fixed, etc.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2leaponover1:
I checked this out. It rectifies the problem but I can't seem to get this app to do the wallpaper right. It always enlarges it so you can't see the whole wall. It's getting there though, some of them I could use. So thanks for this but still hoping there is a fix for what i'm going through... maybe one other lonely soul had it happen and knows what they did to fix it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] svtkobra7:
Thinking the Droid Charge supports the HID bluetooth profile, I purchased the Atrix keyboard; however, I cannot seem to pair it. I put the keyboard in pairing mode and then scan for Bluetooth devices. On the Charge I select the "Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard" from the menu and am given a message "Enter xxxxxx to pair with ...". This message disappears in less than a second and I'm given the error message "Unable to establish communication with ...". I never have the chance to enter the code on the keyboard ...

Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shortbusdriver:
I believe I read somewhere that this was supposed to support the HID profile out of the box I'm not 100% sure though. You could try one of the HID drivers from the marketplace I think one is called blueinput or something similar. Post back if you get it working cause I would really like to have a wireless mini keyboard for this phone as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddh819:
i'm not sure if this is helpful, but I paired a bluetooth mouse with my Charge, using no special drivers. I would like to know if a bluetooth keyboard would work with it though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shortbusdriver:
If you can get a mouse to work without having any special drivers/apps to support it then it at least means that the phone does support HID protocols which would mean that generic bluetooth keyboards should work. If the keyboard requires some sort of special driver that is installed after pairing it most likely won't work, though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ddh819:
I should clarify and update this - the device I have is a bluetooth presentation remote/mouse. It can switch between mouse mode and presenter mode. It works for a few minutes, but then loses connection. It works fine with a computer, so I don't think there's a problem with the remote.
[Verizon Droid Charge] proaction:
You can connect the Charge to BT keyboard and don't have to root..

Thanks to another member TylerMF you CAN probably pair the Atrix (also for Xoom) keyboard.

See his thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28133531#post28133531

He connected his BT keyboard to an Evo successfully.

I have a Samsung CHARGE and I had the same struggle, but followed his instructions and am now connected to both the Atrix/Xoom keyboard and a Logitech bluetooth mouse.

[HTC EVO 3D] plutonium7750:
When i'm in landscape mode taking photos, playing games.. i find that my palm is accidentally either launching the recent apps screen overlay (from pressing home key a few seconds) or launching the search key. I don't feel like im over doing it. I rest my palm on the bottom right corner. When i now pay attention, I try to hold the Evo 3D in landscape mode with my hands in two C formations facing one another.. so that i dont accidentally launch those quick keys.

Are any of you having this issue too? it's annoying to frame a photo.. and then the Recent Apps screen keeps coming up and I have to back up out of it. Would a case be helpful? possibly looking at one of the TPU cases when they get it back in stock. is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the keys?

i've done all the OTA's available..
[HTC EVO 3D] Kilmar:
It's normal. Happened on my EVO 4G all the frakking time. You just need to be careful not to touch the capacitive button. You don't actually need to touch the button to activate capacitive button/screens, only be a few microns away.

cool,, there is some hope.. just ordered a TPU case..im hoping the bottom edge will have enough clearance.

[Thunderbolt General] need bb:
MR2 will be coming via OTA in the next couple of days :) MR2 has been through four different revisions and will be based on the 1.70.xx code. There are a number of fixes but the most important should be fixing the reboots and improving the 4G/3G transitions.

I know everyone is waiting for GB which is MR3, but it still needs some time. The good news is that it is being worked on it is already on its fifth SW revision.
[Thunderbolt General] Headshots4life:
Awesome. I can wait for GB no problem, I just want a fix for the reboots. I'm sick of my phone rebooting 5+ times a day, happy an update is coming soon.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
OR... you could just scoot on over to the dev forum and pick yourself up a spiffy new rom built on MR2 which is quite solid and fast and will use the same or very similar radios to what will be in the OTA. I tried a couple of them. They are spartan on fancy stuff, but they are reliable if nothing else. Possibly the most functional and reliable roms over there.
[Thunderbolt General] animez:
Why does someone always have to pop intro threads like this and state the obvious. I'm sure everyone with a Thunderbolt that frequents these forums is aware that rooting and installing a custom rom is an option. Some people have their reasons for wanting to stay stock.

I for one am still stock because this is the first phone I've had in quite a while that the stock rom is quite good. I spent a long time on WinMo, so I am used to custom roms just the make the device functional. Right now custom roms on the TB are mostly just different, not necessarily a huge need to me (GB roms are debatable on this point).

Once the custom roms offer something I want that I can't get from stock (and mature a bit more), I'm sure I'll root and rom. For now I'm enjoying stock stability and a working camera. Just because someone can do something doesn't make it something they need to do.
