[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewj311:
Thanks for the suggestion, I've tried multiple drivers, but since my PC doesnt recognize my phone, both Odin or Superoneclick dont recognize my phone also.

I was able to manually unroot by copying the One Click Root Update.zip to my phone via Wifi File-sharing app. Unroot was successful, but still no connection to PC or Mac.

I'm stuck for now, It appears that any type of flashing requires a PC connection, unless there is some way to flash completely with Wifi-copied files and using the 'reinstall packages' option?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomeister15:
Well, if you have a dropbox, you could drag and drop a rom (say cognition) onto your phone's dropbox. Then you'd need to find a CWM recovery (make sure it's not 3.0) update.zip and reinstall packages. This will give you CWM recovery, from which you could install Cognition from your dropbox. No guarantees it will work, but it's worth a shot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobius911:
Can't help on the Mac and I only have a dim memory of 2.1, but what are your setting under Settings/Applications for USB settings and Development? Do you have USB debugging checked (on)? Do you have the Development settings set to something weird like Kies update?

My recommendation is to put USB debugging on (checked). In that case I think the USB settings choice is disabled and therefore ignored. Then when you connect to the computer you will get a message in the notification bar on your phone saying something like "select to copy files to/from the computer". Click that, then click the mount button. You should then be able to see the extra drives on your computer by looking under My Computer or whatever (on a PC). On mine they are F and G, no special indications that they are drives on an attached phone. I also do get an automatic pop-up for the new drives, like when you insert a USB stick, but I imagine that setting could be disabled so look for the drives manually.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.AdAbsurdum:
If you can get a com port try to do a master clear with the phone plugged in and on the entire time, then do various methods of getting into download mode if you got a com port when the phone booted up, future references I would use Odin to flash speedmod kernel to get cwm and then flash a rom or leave it as is, when I first started rooting I used the same software and got the same problem

Try installing all the drivers beforehand just to make sure
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cangzhang:
do u have the drivers installed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowake:
+1

My wife's phone has the exact same issue as OP. Suggestions like above are useless unfortunately as the phone does not recognize that it is connected to a computer. Instead it acts as though it is connected to a charger. The oddest thing is that if I plug it in to a computer while the phone is turned off, the phone will turn on! However, still no recognition that it is connected to a PC.

Initially when I connected the phone the first time, Win7 said driver failed to install. Then my working cappy would not connect to Win7. I had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and restart. My working cappy connected as it should, but my wife's phone from that point refused to recognize anything but charging.

Attempts to fix Via external SD: (1) I transferred Continuum 4.1 and reinstalled. Still not recognized. (2) Transferred my recovery images from January for stock, but just became stuck on boot screen for Continuum. I am uneasy about transferring the update-recovery.zip and download folder from original backup as I do not know whether it will screw up attempts to re-enter recovery if it does not work. (3) Attempted download mode, but only works via CWM 2 (not extended menu or three button or by inserting battery with odin up trick). Even when in DL mode odin does not recognize the COM port. (4) Attempted different orders for connecting to Odin in DL mode. By orders I mean rearranging the order I connect (i.e. open odin then connect cable then go to DL). (5) transferred andromeda3 and reinstalled, still same issue.

So, I am left thinking a hardware failure occurred at some point, so I will need to open it up and check connectors to solder it possibly.

Possible non-hardware solution is to restore to stock somehow WITHOUT Odin via CWM. Anyone know if this is possible or have a link to a flashable zip?

Thanks!

edit: I am on Win7 and always made sure USB debugging was checked. Also I tried to connect via One-Click Root for the heck of it and kies mini. No luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewj311:
flashed without a cable

Thanks for the tip jomeister 15, I was able to flash new roms dropped over wifi with CWM recovery. This got me onto 2.2 which was the main purpose of this whole adventure. I just loaded Andromeda3 and it's pretty darn impressive.

My PC and Mac still do not recognise my phone, I troubleshot extensively like Snowake and nothing is recognized. I'm convinced its a hardware issue but who cares with wireless flashing and file transfer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.AdAbsurdum:
You could try to send a ROM, kernel, and update.zip(CWM flash) and attempt to get another ROM over it. Format the system, wipe dalvik, I don't think its a hardware issue, I had the same problem first time I tried using 1 click rooting, I just waited patiently and got a com port after about two days, so that just leads me to believe some configuration file was corrupted during flash to stock, possibly flashing a ROM or reflashing the ROM you're on with a complete wipe of the system and user data and whatnot, or possibly just doing a backup up from cwm and immediately restore it, if its charging I highly doubt its hardware
[Atrix 4G General] Kenchinito:
Hello folks,

On paper, the atrix is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy s2.

I do acknowledge the GS2 is better than the atrix on most scenarios, but I don't think the GS2 should be 700+ bucks or on the other hand the atrix shouldn't be as cheap as 300+ bucks.:eek:

I've been checking on the motorola atrix pricing around ebay and I actually made a decent deal. Which brings me to the question. Why is the atrix so cheap and unpopular, when it brings real life performance similar to the GS2 and even more functionality than the GS2 (Atrix docks), all this at half the price of the GS2

What are your thoughts?:confused:
[Atrix 4G General] brdl04:
It seems that due to the radio frequency only supporting ATT 3G, and also the fact that Galaxy S has a better following than "Atrix" this would support the cheaper price.

If you look up Samsung Focus for instance, you can get one for around $100 and it has a 1ghz processor and 4"amoled screen. (no slouch) but because its WP7 and because it wasnt that popular, you can get it cheap.
[Atrix 4G General] plvaulter06:
it is called free market pricing. Prices are set at point where supply and demand meet. The SGSII is a great phone, and lots of people want it (high demand). It is also very new, and never before released in the US on a major carrier, which means that supply is very low. Both of these two factors push the price of the phone up.

The atrix is a great phone, however there is tons of supply since it has been out for quite a while. This drives the price down.

Another reason, compare the predecessors... Droid X vs Galaxy S. They are both great phones, but in my book the Galaxy S wins 95 out of 100 times. Samsung just makes very refined and desirable phones.

I have an atrix, and anticipate loving it once I get CM7x, but for the past 4 months that I have had it, it has been a lot of frustration.
[Atrix 4G General] SoberGuy:
Mostly agree (not sure about the GS processor winning 95% of the time, but OK). Just wanted to fix a glaring little error, in bold
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
Thanks foe the info I'm gonna get one now :)
[Atrix 4G General] papakilo10:
I agree that it's the supply and demand thing.

When I bought mine, almost no official retailer would sell it to me without an activation on Bell. And, it was full price (over $600). Now it's $100 on a 3-year term. I didn't want to wait so I paid the price... :)
[Atrix 4G General] Kenchinito:
uhm, I think that brings the reason why the atrix is so cheap. I'm not complaining, just wondering.

Anyways, it's better for me and any atrix potential buyer hehehe. I wanted to buy the GS2 but then i realized that the similarly specd atrix was almost half the price. so I went for the atrix, plus the hd dock and the remote control are some nice features.

Have a portable entertainment system that makes calls? that's priceless. And if you are watching a movie on your home teather and have to go, you can just pick up your phone and keep watching in the subway...
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Another unmentioned (at least on this thread) factor of the Atrix unpopularity was the fact that it came bootloader locked, which meant that no custom ROM could be installed.

But that has changed now that we have an unlocked bootloader!

Get ready to start seeing more and more custom roms for the Atrix that basically will unleash its true potential.

Stay tuned... :D

P.S.- For me, more than Atrix specs, Lapdock addon alone blows the SGS2 out of the water easily.
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
I see them selling for around $550 used here in Canada.
[Atrix 4G General] cmcnabb:
That was the selling point for me also. Otherwise I probably would have gone with an iThingy. Once you root the phone to where you can tweak the lapdock packages and add lxterminal, etc, it is a great tool. j

The lapdock/Atrix combo has pretty much replaced my much heavier laptop for everything but astrophotography - and that's only because my astro camera is a firewire CCD which I don't think is ever going to be supported on the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] JiminSD:
I am happy as hell with the Atrix (I like the fingerprint scanner) I was stuck with the captivate and it was horrible because the GPS just didn't work (which i needed). Bottom line buy the phone for the features you need and work well. If you don't need widgets get an iphone, if you don't mind crappy GPS get a Samsung.
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
with all electronics since the beginning of time new=expensive and not being subsidized by a major US carrier like at&t has a lot to do with it also. i remember back in the day when i bought the HTC Kaiser for $800 before it was release as the att tilt when this happened the price dropped quite a bit, the same will happened with the GS2 when it hits an north american carrier. european phones are generally more expensive since they are not usually subsidized by their carrier and come unlocked.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
Higher price doesn't mean if a product is better than its rivals. ip4 is still more expensive than atrix, is it better ? :)
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
For the average person? Probably. Better pictures, better screen, better battery life, very simplistic GUI. The average person will play casual games on their phone, browse the web, text, and use facebook. That's it. There's a reason why it's still the highest single selling phone on verizon and AT&T even though it's a year old and still costs $200 on contract.
[Atrix 4G General] Danthemanz:
Dont forget the LG Optimus 2x, its a fantastic phone with a fantastic screen, i liked it more than my Atrix but it doesnt support my new network (850mhz)
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2758866:
I purchased an Atrix when I finally bricked my Captivate. This is a really nice phone but I miss my Captivate. I'm going to send it off soon and probably go back to it. If you select the right ROM, there are zero GPS issues. I won't lie though, the GPS is amazing on this phone. I really just miss my AMOLED.

What Kinda Error Are you having ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmiku914:
Certain apps a opening up in a smaller resolution and not using the full screen when they used to open up in full screen. Also some apps that worked before are now force closing, this all happened after I copied the build.prop and edited it for use of a game.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenocyde:
Try to clear your dalvic cache,after checking build prop if you want I will post my whole build prop maybe there was a setting changed. I know I saw some commands about Res.

AT&T ATRIX - VERSION 2.3.4 ROOTED BL UNLOCKED :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
This is a known (but sometimes frustrating) "Atrix issue". :(

If you read some of the market app comments, the Atrix has that issue with some apps.

"TV Listings" is an app off the top of my head that worked when the Atrix launched, and then went to the 2/3rds of the screen showing it. "Weatherbug" isn't as noticeably bad, but used to be better at using the full screen.

It's weird because this happened before the first Bell Update came out too.

Unfortunately or fortunately, (depending on how you look at it) it's more of an "Atrix Issue" than anything you did wrong... :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmiku914:
that's a strange Atrix issue, one minute an app resolution is fine then the next it shrinks to the resolution of other devices.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gh123man:
hmmm could it be the high resolution screen? anyone try installing spare parts and switching off app compatibility mode? (this fixed the issue on a droid with a dpi mod and my tablet with old apps.) (if im totally off just ignore me)

Since, frx07 is coming out sooon. What are features that are coming with it or fixes ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
There will be a formal list when it drops. I will make a thorough post of what's changed when the time is right.

The big ones are RIL & BT. Audio routing won't make FRX07, so BT audio won't work, but pairing with BT devices & transferring data should.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] madplaya1:
Great , thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steveoski111:
seems silly to me to evenrelease fr0x7 without the BT and the audo routing fixes already in place at least for the rhodium users., i understand that the BT and audio routing fixes are mostly RHOD specific so why not make 2 version's of FR0x7? Those are the changes that most ppl weant they want there BT and loud speakerphone. Just curious as to why it would even be released without those things since the fixes are out, if it means having to wait to release fr0x7 than wait IMO. i donno just my 2 cents
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] helicopter88:
Audio routing isn't stable,isn't for all the devices and it's still being developed

So it's a time waste adding it now,then frx08 will have it..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Couldn't have said it better myself. Audio routing will not be implemented until it's stable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] madplaya1:
Shouldn't the dev start focusing more on gingerbread because it's newer, just wondering? Or what?

hi there every1,

i was wondering if there is gonna be a working Camera in FRX07 for us Rhod100_nl users with the wrong board??

grtzzzz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Kernel issue, not a build issue from what I can tell.

Also, from what I've gleaned - the cam works, but only in low light. See

[UPDATED 04/29][DEV - Camera ( camcorder improvement ) ] Camera tests for more information.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EMB Driver:
Bluetooth data would be great. I have an asus transformer which will not connect to an adhoc network, so WiFi tethering is out. The only solution I can find for tethering a honeycomb tablet is through pdanet tablet, which requires android on both devices and uses bluetooth. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PlacidFury:
Is there a wpa supplicant hack for the transformer? My A500 tablet has the same issue stock, but with mod or custom ROM wifi tethering to my rhodium works perfect on ad-hoc. Anyway, maybe worth looking into.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lemeiux1:
Yes there is. I'm on an adhoc posting this from my TF right now. check the TF section for the xoom supplicant file or just flash prime 1.5 as this fix is already implimented in that rom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gallahad2000:
Will it have the new MMS fixes? That's the biggest thing missing for me. People love to send pictures and I always have to boot WiMo and ask them to resend it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Yes, it will work for all carriers assuming you set your APN. Still hashing out the best way to do this, might just have to leave it up to the end-users to configure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] speckledpig:
I flashed prime on my TF last week. Works great and has the WPA supplicant fix already built in.

I can tether to my TP2 in winmo or whatever! Works GREAT.

Also, waiting for FRX07. Great work on FRX06!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bArAbAts:
@arrrghhh, tnx for your reaction, but im not an android expert, is there a way to implement the fixes mentioned there in frx07??

keep up the good work!!

tnx!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Not easily, there's many, many changes. The easiest way would be to pull from the XDAndroid repo (all of our code is available...) and build your own system image.

What!!! that's crazy, may be true, may be not. They didn't tell us, lets sue LG.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] InfiniteRisen:
Just charge it until it reaches 100%, you don't want to overcharge.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
The battery will not let you overcharge. And 24hrs is definitely crazy, it will be charged in 2-3 hours and will not charge any more after that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IamIrene:
wah charge 1day is too crazy

just charge it until full which around 2 to 3hourq
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ElGeorge:
This is an old myth that had lived on from the days where cellphone batteries where made of Ni-Mh and not Li-Ion as today, unfortunately most cellphone stores employees have kept telling everyone from generation to generation to "charge the battery for 24 hours the first time".

What's actually true about Li-Ion batteries is that they will reach their full capacity only after the 3rd or 4th full cycle charge, so what's recommended is that for those first three charges the cellphone is charge up to full capacity and then let it drain completely and repeat the process (only for those first three charges).

Afterwards then it's not recommended to let the battery die completely, as it's better for the battery's health to keep it topped whenever you have a chance, and avoid as possible to let it go below 30%. But once a month a "full cycle" charge is recommended to keep the battery calibrated (that is doing a full charge and then let it die). In the case of Android phones we have the "Wipe Battery Stats" option on custom recoveries to better calibrate our battery during this process.

That's what experts advice for Li-Ion batteries, you can find reference about this on most laptop manufacturers website, on the battery care page for iPods/iPhones at the Apple.com site and at my favorite Battery University.

It sometimes starts : unsuccesfull download.... downloading... and dissapear at all. Sometimes just downloading and bang!.
