Its a known issue, even on mg Sensation. Try Handcent SMS.. Been using it for years now on multiple devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evaradar:
So it has to do with the network I assume on Bell's end? I haven't had this problem on my Atrix or previous Bell Android devices. Ya I might as well just install handcent.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomerFZ1:
Is it possible to just "root" my gtab and then install the market app from an APK? Once to do the CMW thing, that enables root, yeah? I'm really not wanting to install a new ROM until something stable comes out Honeycomb-wise, yeah?

Thanks a bunch,
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yahnick:
Some ROMs require a separate load of GAPPS, which includes Market. And there are a couple good 3.0 ROMs already. Gtab Comb is pretty solid.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomerFZ1:
Soooo, no?

See this post http://http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/apps/forums/topics/show/5179881-how-i-added-gapps-market-to-a-stock-1-2-4349-gtab. It will let you install the google apps on 1.2.4349 stock BUT it will break Contacts (it will force close) and it's an older version of Market. If you can live with that then take a look. But, I would recommend you switch to Caukulin+Clemsyn Combo V6, it is MUCH faster than stock and very stable. You can go here to 'Good Intentions' site (gTablet for Dummies) for step by step instructions http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flusshd:
Hi folks,

Im sorry for my sily questions. But I read the BIG WARNING from here and cannot selft see what is my case.

All I have at right now is:

- A brandnew Atrix from AT&T since Feb 2011 started at 1.2.6 firmware

- Rooted it by Gladroot method

- Upgraded it to 1.5.7 and then 1.8.3 by OTA (via Wifi)

- Re-rooted (Gladroot) and I've been using my atrix from that till now

Today morning, I received an upgrade message on screen saying that a new update of GingerBread 4.5.91 (en.us) is available for download.

Well, because of the BIG Warning above, I just wonder:

1. Does my Atrix get brick after apply this OTA update?

2. Am I able to flash back to the stock 1.2.6 or 1.5.7/1.8.3 after apply this OTA update?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoNeto:
your atrix will not be bricked but if u try to sbf back to froyo (stock) you run the big risk of hardbricking your atrix there are .zips and roms that are stable and similar if not the same thing you can use if flashing back may be in the question
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amenditman:
1. No, you don't get bricked after the update.

2 . No, you cannot flash back to any of the prior stock versions after this update.

I did this update and all went well. As far as I can tell after reading a lot of threads and posts, this update prevents us from flashing back to previous versions but does not prevent us from re-rooting and unlocking the bootloader if we want.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoNeto:
lol i just said this
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djeuch:
It appears that some people have had luck. However, I had a stock ROM with only root enabled, and the OTA update bricked me. Went to do the .sbf method from here in the forums, and got an 0x1000 brick. (whee).

Basically, rooted but not Bootloaded unlocked was really bad. I had to unlock the bootloader to re-flash, and now I'm back up and running, albeit 4 hours later.

I think the best bet is to use the Motorola software that upgrades via the USB cable. Mine did come up once via that method before I tried to re-root it (because it came up un-rooted)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flusshd:
Thanks for quick replies, bros. I'm clear now. But my next issues is:

For the highest safety I prefer the flash method, but also love the stability of stock OTA update by Moto.

@TechnoNeto: Pls excuse me if my following ques is sily again: As I found on BRICK WARNING thread above, the provided 2.3.4 sbf is just a beta version (beta 4.5). Is it similar to the OTA official release? Any bug or limitation?

@amenditman: If I apply OTA update, I will get root by Fastboot Preinstall method, right?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoNeto:
kens beta 4.5 is not an sbf its a zip installed through recovery ive been running it since 4.5 was released and its stable, provides the same ui as the ota and experience and will let me rsd back if needed if you choose this method i have a guide if needed.

edit kens rom as of now has not hard bricked phones
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djeuch:
Here's what I consider the safest, although it removes root:

Motorola - Support - Software update

http ://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/motosupport/source/SoftwareUpdateSummary.asp?country=USA&language=ENS&web_page_name=SUPPORT&strCarrierId=ATT&strPhone=Motorola%20ATRIX%28TM%29%204G&strCable=Micro%20USB%20Data%20Cable&strURL=https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download5/SoftwareUpdateforATTATRIX4Gversion.4.5.91.pdf

My OTA failed more than a dozen times. This worked...

In the process of re-rooting I bricked my phone, but after unlocking the bootloader (which I really didn't want to do) I managed to flash in a working rooted copy.

Sorry for the ugly link - forum software won't let me post it as a proper URL.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flusshd:
So clear. I decide now to use ken's zip. Pls give me some brief guides, i'm grateful and big thanks to you TechnoNeto

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flusshd:
Hi folks,

I unlocked successfully my Atrix, but after unlocking it becomes un-rooted, phone was reset to the fresh state. Im following now instructions of Ken's 2.3.4 beta 4.5 Rom but as no root, I cannot do backup PDS step.

My ques is:

1. How can I re-root my phone?

2. At the step "click install zip from SDcard" as guide by Ken's, which mode I have to reboot my phone into to see this option? (I flashed CWM recovery img already)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoNeto:
follow this video guide i made you can skip if 6your already unlocked but to add in kens rom is already rooted, a benefit so that you wont have to preroot like with the ota
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flusshd:
Upgraded successfully!

Im nearly crazy with new beautiful UI and amazing performance. Moto has really heard from community to improve eveything in this release.

Thanks for you guys here, especially to TechnoNeto who helped me to choose this upgrading method! :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gujuplaya111:
Can't get into recovery/dload mode Phone boots to white At&t screen makes few sounds

I have recently messed up my Captivate when I was trying to flash a ROM. My phone goes up to the white At&t sign and then makes a few sounds and stops. It also goes to the charging screen when plugged in the cpu when off. I have tried countless ways to get it to go into dl mode or even recovery mode. Ive tried: ADB vol up and down plus power with usb plugged in/battery put in, vol down usb plugged in/battery put in, vol up usb plugged in/battery put in, just vol up and down usb plugged in/battery put in, and nothing seems to be working. WITHOUT someone tellin me to use a jig can ANYBODY please help me find a way to do this. I have even pressed menu and volume down while the phone was in off charging state with green bar loading and the cpu made a sound and cpu said unrecognized device...from there I have tried to root my phone hoping it goes into recovery mod(which ive done to fix my phone before) also from there i have tried odin but no recognizance and I also have tried adb reboot download and adb reboot recovery. NOTHING WORKS...someone please HELP ME!

thanks in advance

What rom were you trying to flash?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
why SO resistant to someone telling you to make/buy a jig?:confused: its a very easy thing to make and it will solve your no download mode issue in seconds. if nothing else will get you in download mode a jig will for sure (unless your usb port is broken) you can try and exhaust all other solutions but after you've ripped all your hair out build a jig.

its like trying to dig a ditch with a garden spade when you have access to a back hoe :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm63755:
Good point

stud u really make a goop point about it being easier to buy a jig than to pull ur hair out. Which if this kid really was pulling his hair out he shouldn't have been doing this at all. But, I am also having this same problem. I was using a CM7 build and it worked great until i tried to install the gapps. then it went crazy. It rebooted itself and went through the Cyanogen Mod first screen then would get stuck on the CM7 blue android on skateboard bootscreen. If I touched the screen at the bottom right it would vibrate for some reason. Shortly after realizing I needed a jig for it I decide to buy a new one cause at the time I didnt know if I could properly make one. So I've kept my first captivate still trying to find a non-jig method. I recently taught myself begginers adb on Windows XP OS but I am very much a noob except for rooting and flashing. Any help of yours would be great anytime. Thanks,

Matt
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james.arroyo:
Shows that youve been a member since Dec-2010 so Im assuming that you really did try everything because you have read and read and read (riiiiiiight!?) and without telling us whether you tried to flash a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM I'd sugguest that you buy a JIG. Its really the best solution and the less time consuming if you cant think of anything else to try. You can order one or make your own...literally took about 30 minutes for me to get my phone to a place where i can work with it....a trip to the radioshack and making the JIG and back home.

If you are making requests on specifically NOT to tell you to do it a certain way then you may have to accept that you might have to solve this problem on your own, especially if you said that you tried everything except the one thing that you cant do (which is what we might suggest) and probably will fix your situation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm63755:
So i re-read after making my first post to this. I've bought my 5th Cap. now and have quite a bit more knowledge than before. So my question is. If I've completely bricked my 3rd cap... No battery charge screen and all will a jig still work for me to get into download? I was tryin to come back from cm7 but something went wrong.... I really don't need the extra phone but it would be nice to have my back up
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
If the screen doesnt turn on at all and there is no charge screen or recognition at all of usb than it is more likely then not hard bricked.

Thanks xijar then i will for sure purchase a jig. Worth a try anyway.

Has anyone gotten an alternative cam app to record in other formats in HD? The 3gp format doesn't work for DLNA streaming and I tried a market app that is supposed to record in other formats like mp4 but it wouldn't function at all on the Sensation. Read elsewhere that someone got another app to record but the quality was poor.

Thx in advance for any info

I understand that it changed something in the codec 3gp format so not to support the TV

The same problem I have with the Sensation is sad you can not do streaming DLNA your favorite Video :(

Hey guys,

After updating to gingerbread, lots of my songs wont play. They're mp3's that worked just fine before.

Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?

In WiFi tether app hit menu to bring up the settings and click on access control then disable access control. Afterwards, go to settings and disable your WiFi encryption. Your probably not logging in because you have the WiFi password protected.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] droidx1978z4:
I would assume that you will be able to get future OTA updates after completing this, but I can't guarantee that. It is a US sku. As far as having a broken volume button, that could be a problem. I'm sure that it would be possible to accomplish by pushing it through abd, or using nvflash, but without a little research and testing a I couldn't tell you how to do that.

[Focus General] RGBell:
My wifes phone is messed up after pressing the Speaker button while in a call. The phone switches the sound to the speaker but the phone application then becomes unresponsive. Pressing the Speaker button a second time does not turn of the speaker and the end call button also does not immediately respond. The call sometimes eventually ends after a few minutes and then no phone sounds, either speaker or earpiece can be heard on a subsequent call. All other system sounds and music play normally. If you press the power button to turn off the phone. it reboots rather than turning off. I have to pull the battery to get the phone back to normal. It has NoDo installed. No hacks, no SD card. Any ideas how to correct this short of doing a hard reset?

I did a hard reset and reinstalled all of the apps. It still screws up when I try to use the speakerphone. Back to the ATT Store tomorrow for a replacement!

[HTC Sensation] ercliou:
Hello!

I've got my Sensation yesterday :D

Loving it, despite of the bugsss

I see that Sensation can config SRS in the default player, wanna use it with speakers

But I rarely use the default player =\ .. mostly mSpot and I'm thinking of testing Google Music, both having their "custom" players

Is it possible to take advantage of SRS with any other streaming music player?

Or make the default player see the songs downloaded by mSpot? (yea.. I wasn't able to make it do that :mad:)

That's weird, cuz it can find musics downloaded by "MP3 Music Download". And it's not the codec either, it's m4a by mSpot.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
SRS and Dolby 5.1 are only available through stock apps from my experience. To get your media to show up in the stock app use an app that causes a new media search. SDRescan is free on the market. I use Extended Controls.
[HTC Sensation] ercliou:
Thanks for your reply.

I tried the SDRescan, but it didn't work =\

I've also rebooted the phone.. it just doesn't see the mSpot folder -.-
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I'm not familiar with mSpot. You say it stores m4a files on your phone? Try to look for the directory with Astro or Estrong. I'm betting they aren't there or are in a hidden directory. Make sure you set the file manager to show hidden files. Check mSpot to see if there is a setting that allows you to hide media from the Android system. Subsonic has a setting like that.
[HTC Sensation] ercliou:
I did a test copying the mSpot file to another folder.. it was able to see the music

So I guess the file is not the problem

But still can't make it to scan mSpot folder :mad:
[HTC Sensation] ercliou:
The files are there. Didn't find any setting like that.

I think I'm just gonna try Google Music (to sync) and play them with default player :(

Thanks, though!
[HTC Sensation] ercliou:
Oh.. I found a file named ".nomedia" inside mSpot's folder

After deleted that file, it was able to scan the folder ^^

But the song's properties (song name, singer, album..) are encrypted, so they're all messed up XD can't use it!

Just gonna try Google Music..
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
Use Volume+.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
That sucks man. DRM sucks. Yeah any folder with a file .nomedia or any folder that begins with a . is hidden from a media scan. The period first in the name is how you label a file or folder hidden in Linux.
