I am now having this issue as well. Don't know what's making the screen just shut off?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] JVogler:
I'm going to wait until I install ver #4 before I go digging too deep after these problems, but I'm wondering if these are the same ones people are referring to earlier in this thread?

I've been running a few versions of GreyBlur, all versions of GingerBlur, two other Full ROM's and now Alien. I've never had any of the Wifi or battery issues that seem to plague a lot people until now.

I've run the recommended battery calib. procedure a few times now and my phone will charge to 100% and then drop slowly while still plugged in (never touched a/c adapter) about a percent every 5 minutes. I've seen it go all the way down to 92%. I have to unplug, then re-plug it back in to get it to charge all the way. Then after about 20 minutes of use it will be down around 60%. Is this the same thing everyone is seeing, or possibly I've damaged my battery with all my flashing?

Wifi always worked beautifully, not it disconnects ALL the time. It won't even stay connected long enough to transfer a backup to my computer...fails every time. I've never had it fail before. When I go into settings it says disconnected about once every minute and then fails connecting a few times before finally connecting again.

Anyways, as I said I'm going to wait until version #4 before I even worry about looking into it...just wondering if these are the same issues people are having or if I have something totally different.

Thanks for the replies.

Must be a bad install, because I dont have the issue. My timeout is set to 10 minutes, and 10 mintues it is.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gzrecoil:
Hey Ken... Coming from your last rom based on the beta leak of GB this seems much more unstable.

Compass won't calibrate, GPS won't lock, and when activating GPS using maps, trying to access latitude, etc. the phone re-boots itself. Phone also takes a while to get GPS lock if it doesn't re-boot.

Streaming audio skips or does not play, sometimes skipped when the phone is used(eg. unlocking/locking phone with fingerprint scanner or even triggering vibe to signal failed unlcok) indicating it has nothing to do with connectivity.

I got an error on first boot after install.

Phone overall is faster, but doesn't seem as stable. I'll wait for the next rev and try re-flashing to see if that helps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
If its a bad install, what's the solution? Re-download the zip, wipe, and re-flash?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ricardowec:
My friend, you have a bad install and/or did not followed the steps fully. (Wipe, Wipe, Wipe, dicharge, discharge, discharge, charge, charge, charge. I have none of the issues you mention. Came to 3 from Stock, flowed the rules and have the same bearable issues most people have reported.

The ROM is STABLE as a flat stone, no reboots whatsoever (other than my own), connectivity.. yeah.. some, but here and there, probably bad coverage or OC Kernel (Faux) (Dont think the latter has to do with it because had the same with stock kernel.. probably the rom). Got 406 apps in my gadget and nobody cries nor FC´s other than reported Swipe.. so suggest you start again.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Viamonte:
Redownloading isnt scrictly required, but it also fights the possibility of a bad download, so yeah, these are the usual best steps for a bad install.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] J-man67:
Go into the display settings and select the 15 sec, then back to home screen. Then go back into display and hit 30. Repeat the step up until you get to your desired time. Worked for me.

About battery life in the last built#3

Hi, Im using my motorola atrix 4g with a extended battery (3500mAH) so i guess the last fix for the battery jumping is calculating wrong the left battery power from my battery because It goes from 100% to 0% in 6 Hours using it moderate(always connected to 4G data and getting updates, but with no msn apps open) and that is not normal if im using that battery(3500mah) I used to get 10 to 16 hours of battery life so Im still using alien built #2 because I can reboot it and I can have 85% battery left again when I was below 10% battery left and I'm having 4-6 hours more.. so maybe there is something that make phone not to calculate exactly the battery power.. otherwise it is an excelent ROM, but i have a problem with HDMI webtop firefox i cant see any youtube video from from webtop firefox :(.

So thank you for make this awesome ROM!! maybe in built 4# you can optimized for better battery life and excellent battery power calculation :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nowforever:
I got some problem with this ROM:

1. Weak wifi signal.

2. The system hanging up some time...

3. Message app FC on yahoo and facebook functions.

Does anybody know how to fix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spitefulcheerio:
I've been running the ROM flawlessly. Haven't had any issues...flashed the ROM and since I was at 100% battery, I used battery calibration (measuring 4250mV). My battery lasts my a solid 16 hours and then some. And thats with texting all day

I was on #moto-atrix last night and heard of a build 4! Cant wait :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Build #4:

- Swype fix

- Camera fixed

- Google Android 2.3.5 application framework

- Settings > Sound > Volume text colors fix

- Corporate email, BlurEmail.apk brought back

- Proximity sensor fix (if doesn't work, turn off In Pocket setting)

- Launcher theme modified

- Optimization for boot time

- Videos application for rooted users

- Updated apps (YouTube)

- Re-optimized theme apps

Thank you to Paulyhoffman for helping me out on this build with the Email app. You can all look forward to more contributions from him in the future (I hope).

thank you so much KP!!! been waiting for this!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
Holy crackers and cannibalism! You should definitely be getting a lot more out of the battery, there are a bunch of things you can do if you haven't done them already. But yeh, I get 10-12 hours now on moderate use, more if I use it heavily. With that size battery i can't imagine what you should be getting, but it's gotta be 24+ hours of solid usage I would almost HAVE to imagine. Someone fill in the blanks here and give us a guestimate on what battery life would be on a 3500 MaH batt.

Ken,

We all thank you for your work. Not only by pressing the button but also appreaciating what you do for the community. So.. lets go-

But before, just a couple of questions:

- What is in framework 2.3.5 ?

- I will upgrade from 3 to 4.. an wipes or counter clears?

-In an upgrade would you also advise to drain the battery and recharge before applying?

Cheers !

good thing I dont use wifi! lol

about to flash the theme over!

Thanks for all the great work Kenn. This is by far my favorite ROM

edit: the only thing I'd like to see in build 5 would be a reboot option when holding the power button

edit2: theme installed, looks good!

Any chance that you could bring back the stock camera app? The D3 camera takes noticeably worse pictures and some of the settings don't stick. I have to choose 5mp manually every time.

I don't mind the D3 camera.....but I hate it when it wipes my settings each reboot

My wifi was working after I installed build 4 but I went ahead and installed the patch anyway, and now it says Error when I try to enable wifi lol. Any advice? I downloaded build 4 before you updated the briefmobile download links so I know I didn't get the updated zip with the wifi fix included.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spitefulcheerio:
if your wi-fi was working, I dont think you shouldve installed the patch

possibly try flashing the newer version of build 4?

Is anyone running ADW Launcher on top of Alien. I never liked Blur until this 'profile' idea...so I am trying to give it a try. But I can't seem to set the Blur launcher as my default launcher. No matter what my settings it goes to ADW. I have been using Home Switcher for Froyo, which doesn't help this situation. I can't make my 'home' button do anything besides go to ADW. Anyone know of a solution, short of uninstalling ADW?

I do not have Alien theme installed by the way. I can't see that it would make a difference, but would installing that help in any way?

Thanks

needed some guidance... last time i installed Alien v3 apparently when i described a few issues i had i was told my previous redpill stuff wasnt completely wiped altho i had wiped twice before flashing and twice after flashing as well... this was using tenfars recovery i believe...

iv now put on the new recovery... what was it called... errrmm... road rage or something :) ... heard that does a better job at wiping... so should that solve the trick and properly wipe or is there something else i should be doing too...??

This is how I generally do it:

Boot into recovery: Phone off -> Push power button once, and hold volume down until I see 'fastboot' appear on screen and then I release volume down button.

Press volume down 7 times (I think) and you will see the Android Recover option.

Press volume up.

Once into recovery I go to advanced menu (Using volume down key, and then power button to select.

I wipe both dalvik cache, and battery stats.

++Go Back++

I wipe cache

I wipe data / factory reset

Boot back into recovery

Install .zip from sdcard (use full wipe version)

when done wipe dalvik, wipe cache, then reboot

after fully booted into android and everything looks ok you can repeat with alien theme except this time skip the wipe data factory reset.

This is just a quick post from memory...there might be a better way, but that's how I would do it. Anyone can feel free to correct anything I'm doing wrong.
