My seemed to do this right after I rooted this phone I've notice it to on my original ATRIX I was Hoping that this issue was fixed but apparently not
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
Please give your post a little more detail:

Did you root? what method?

Is it brand new/refurbished/ebay/att/where did you get it?

If you are having connectivity issue state your carrier

Where do you install your apps?

Did you move your apps to sd and back to internal?

Touch screen issue: have you dropped your phone? sat on it? sleep with your phone?

Please put as much detail as you can because we are trying to figure out a bug/problem with our phone. We can't assume that everyone has the same setup.

Please go back to your post and edit it and don't make additional post to keep this thread short.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mathk:
unluckily I did get many of the problems mentioned in this thread with exactly the same model with same hardware.

1. wifi problem

2. sometimes it can't receive calls

3. it turns off vibration automatically sometimes

4. the class 10 SD card problem

additionally , I can't choose the cert. in wifi setting even I've imported it. (No such problem in another phone)
[Motorola Atrix 2] marcher233:
I can confirm the /sdcard problem, it accidentally mounts as read-only and any apps work with /sdcard will be mulfunctioning, such as cameras. It is really annoying. I'm eager to see if there'll be any updates for this.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
My A2 won't overclock much higher than ~1.15 GHz but that isn't exactly a problem... I haven't had any apps disappear unless they were on the SD card... the vibrating feedback seems to be fully functional for me... for wifi you just can't use the battery/data saving features and you'll be fine.

[Motorola Atrix 2] frycook15:
On the overclock I've had to slowly up it over a few days time just to get it stable at 1.2 I'm using supercharged v4 so after some heavy use at your current setting try a slightly higher setting then try get CPU load as high possible to keep breaking it in. Atleast this worked for me haven't tries to go over 1.2 yet really no need at the moment if I get bored though ill try and push it.

Atrix 2, Stock ROM, rooted, MB865

Wifi problem on my Atrix 2 - signal indicator becomes gray after a few minutes to few hours and Internet stops afterwards. Usually restarting wifi helps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Light_Soul:
My sd card is work, but sometimes apps don't have permission for write. I don't know why. How to fix there? Apps with su permission have write access

"New" bug found:

Stock Atrix 2

Black screen when trying to unlock.

Bottom keys light up, but the screen stays black.

Battery/SIM pull corrects the problem.

This has happened twice so far.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
@dk-v1

Are you using any 3rd party home screen replacement? if so what is it?

Are you using lock apps such as go locker or widgetlocker?

What apps were running before the screen locked?

Are you rooted?

What is the percentage of the battery when it happened?

Was your phone hot?

Are you running any roms?

Are you overclocked?

When did the first one happened?

When the first one happened is it on the same state as the 2nd one happened? (does the answer match the question above)?

Have you dropped your phone before?

Are you using any protective casing?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dk-v1:
As stated before, I'm on a stock ATRIX 2. No mods, roms, homescreens, etc...

Never dropped the phone. Using a defender case. Same thing happened both times. Picked the phone up to unlock it and the screen was just black.

There's no way for me to know what was running at the time it happened.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kirkgbr:
Shortly after I got my A2 in November, I had the same thing happen a 2 or 3 times. No root, no mods of any kind. Using a defender case same as you. Just seemed dead and only way to revive was a battery pull.

Since then I have rooted and froze an assortment of apps and it hasn't happened since. I don't know if those mods had anything to do with it though. Could just be coincidence.

I'm pretty sure I have seen the same thing reported on other forums.
[Motorola Atrix 2] twostep665:
Occasionally, when either downloading apps or updating apps, i get a out of space error, when I am nowhere near capacity. A battery pull fixed it one time, the other time I had to do a factory reset.

Also, the phone got extremely hot for no reason. It was just sitting in my pocket not being used while at my desk at work and I had to take the battery out for a few minutes to get it to cool down before I could turn it back on.

Other than that, this phone has been flawless for me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
Sadly, this seems to be really common on this phone. Just try is again, it should work on the 2nd or 3rd try.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
@dv

are you using your task manager? did you put any apps on the task manager to be killed after 2 minutes.

- If not try it. Put all the apps in the task manager (killed after 2 mins). Let us know if it ever happens again. Also try this for the people who gets their phone too hot when not being used. Some apps just wants to run all the time that might have caused this not saying that it is a rouge app. Take for example the Virtual Village it is program to run 24/7 unless you end the application ^_^v Good luck.

Reason for the questions is to get a solid information about your phone and what has happened to your phone. To sort out the so called bug people need to try to sort out the problem. I know questions are lengthy but the more information you give the better people will understand the situation and might give a better solution. You might be running an App that only a few people are using so we can notify the developer and the community about this certain App.

@two

Just do a quick reboot if your phone tells you that you "Error there is not enough space in your SD card".
[Motorola Atrix 2] malch99:
Brilliant post. Thank you kind sir for all of the insight.

On the WiFi connection issue... I have a couple of solutions:

1. Configuring the phone to use a static IP will likely cure the problem but is very inconvenient.

2. At home (or at other sites where you have some control of the AP) go into your router/AP setup and disable WMM. This solved the issue for me and I have since confirmed that it works for others too.

I am told the problem actually resides in some Texas Instruments WiFi drivers that are frequently used in Motorola phones.

Does anyone have any additional insight to the SD card problem? I've already seen some flakiness with the stock 2GB card. A new 32GB Class 10 is scheduled to arrive today -- big sigh. Is it even worth trying it, or shall I just try and return it for Class 6?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Light_Soul:
I`m using 8gb class 6 microsd card, and many times I see that apps didn`t have permissions to wrote. Root explorer write successfully
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sharpshooterrr:
Does the latest update fix the SD card / apps disappearing issue?
[Motorola Atrix 2] icebike:
Too soon to tell.

You usually saw this after a few market updated were installed, and there haven't been too many of those yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sharpshooterrr:
Thanks, hope you could update.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sfnd:
FWIW: Everything was fine with my MB865 until recent upgrade to 2.3.6. Now Haptic feedback seems to be completely gone, irrespective of "Haptic feedback" or "Vibrate on keypress" options. There does not seem to be any randomness to the behavior - the feature's just gone. Oh, and I'm pretty sure it's not a "stuck motor", as one previous poster suggested that could be fixed with a light tap: the phone vibrates just fine when receiving texts or incoming phone calls.

Has anyone figured out how to work around this problem?
[Motorola Atrix 2] dk-v1:
The vibrating feedback was drastically reduced with the update.

However, it still randomly cuts on/off.

(Stock ATRIX 2)
[Motorola Atrix 2] seraphielx:
I noticed that as well with the Haptic feedback.

I also noticed that it will no longer stay away if I have it plugged in. I had the screen time out set to 2 mins and it would turn off at the 2 min mark and not respect the stay awake option in development.

Google music was 3.x when the current version is 4.x so I had to resync all the music to my phone as well.

Anyone to report this junk to on the moto side? Sorry still a n00b on the ins and outs of this game.
[Motorola Atrix 2] throwawayaccount9500:
Updated to the latest update as well. Would like to confirm that it HAS NOT fixed the missing apps problem. I woke up this morning with about 15 apps missing. Usually, it happened with a reboot. This is horrendous, I don't have time to be glued to my phone all day long fixing this ****. Selling this off, and waiting for something more reliable. Never again will I buy a Moto phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] marcher233:
I use a Kingston Class6 8GB card from my old HTC phone, and it did occurred some problems too - like camera app fails, photo disappears...

And I also tested a Kingmax Class4 8GB card, it acts like this too.

Maybe SanDisk Class4/6 ones are the best for Motorola phone? I guess so...
[Motorola Atrix 2] dk-v1:
You can report it on the Moto Owners Forums. But, it won't do you any good. You'd be better off having a conversation with a wall.
[Motorola Atrix 2] seraphielx:
ah so I guess this is things that we fix our selfs...
[Motorola Atrix 2] dk-v1:
That or one of the devs here may figure it out.
[Motorola Atrix 2] seeker9:
I've had the sdcard headaches since day one and I've never seen any indication that it has anything to do w/ the launcher, until I read this thread. I've given several popular launchers a good long testing on this phone and the sd issue is always present. And while I haven't yet lost any apps that were internally installed , I did recently lose some ringtones and alarms that I'd moved into the internal media folder a couple months ago. Whenever I lose write access to the SD, I first reboot, then unmount/mount the card, and that seems be working for me thus far. Huge debilitating pain that it is...

The random feedback issue is present, but I just ignore it. Living in the country means I'm liable to miss calls no matter how good the phone is, so setting it to silent+vibrate and then not getting the call is just life in the sticks. Not that I wouldn't like it fixed...

My wifi works pretty good most of the time, as long as I manage it's on/off state manually; and I haven't tried using any certificates on wifi yet. It does occasionally take issue with some AP's, but not at work, and not at home, so no big deal for me.

I know I've had several other strange things happen on the Atrix2, but not often enough for me to be able to recall them now. Except, I've found that if reading an ebook in bed at night, with the lights off and the ereader app set to dark mode, the Pocket Detector thinks my phone is in my pocket and turns off the screen. Fix: disable Pocket Detector.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
The cure for this is to not move apps to the SD card (sometimes the phone puts them there by "default" even though you never intended them to be stored on the SD card). I have never had an app disappear that was stored on the phone as opposed to the SD card.

Obviously this is not ideal and this is not how things should work. I realize this, so I am not making an excuse for Motorola. But if you have plenty of space (I have about 80 downloaded apps on my phone and still have 3.5GB of space left) then it shouldn't be an issue to just move all apps back to the phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Is it just me, or am I the only one that hasn't had a problem what so ever with my sdcard. It's a 32gb not sure what class though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
I had the problem on a 16GB class 4 card. Just got a 32GB class 4, but now I know to not store any apps on the card, so I don't anticipate having issues.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
If you want to know what class it is, unmount the SD card (or just turn your phone off) and then take it out... it should say the class somewhere on it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Suroky:
I would add the Cell connectivity problem:

Phone keeps disconnecting from Cellular network, stay disconnected for about 30 seconds, go to Airplane mode for 2 seconds, then gets connected again.

Same happens every 4 minutes or so, depending on the Cell you are connected to. So far, it seems the problem is related to Cells broadcasting UMTS instead of HSPA.
[Motorola Atrix 2] toastthemost:
I would like to add this about the wifi connectivity:

While I used to lose connection, and it be on "Turning off..." or "Turning on..." for a long period of time before I gave up and rebooted, now this isn't the case. But, since the update, now if I switch to a different access point, with the same network, many times I will have to disconnect and reconnect without it doing that automatically. Sometimes, I will even have to delete the profile from the wifi settings and force a manual reconnect.

Anyone else with this problem?
[Motorola Atrix 2] JDtech1701:
Alright, I've got a couple different issues on two different A2's...either I've gotten two lemons or the A2 reviews I read made it sound better than it is.

Sys. Version: 55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US

Android: 2.3.6

1. Sometimes when I try to connect to WiFi, all I get is the grey symbol. Plenty of signal strength, but it never turns blue to give me connection.

2. The four haptic buttons at the bottom randomly light up and turn off. I know they're supposed to turn off after a few moments of idle, but sometimes they'll turn off and won't light up even if I touch them or use anything on the screen. The only way to get them back on is locking/unlocking the screen.

3. The keyboard has to be force-closed at least twice a week...I would think that it would be more stable than that.

4. Every now and then the lock screen freaks out, so whenever I try to draw my pattern, it'll skip around and won't fully trace. Again, I have to lock/unlock the screen to fix it.

5. It'll also lose signal for a few seconds in a spot that I know has signal. Lately I've been having to hit "Resend Message" twice for it to acquire a signal again.

6. My data connection doesn't like to work, with either WiFi or 4G. Both in Facebook and Firefox (the only two apps I use more than once every couple of days) well have the loading circle for forever...I'll have to restart those apps for them to load the page...not sure if it's an App problem or a connection problem.

So...fixable problems or call in yet another warranty?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
The reason your wifi icon turns blue is to indicate "connected to Google Services". SO even if it isn't blue you should still have a data connection.

The problem you are having with the haptic buttons isn't really a problem. The reason it turns on and off "randomly" is due to the ambient light. Say if you take it in to a dark room the lights will stay on the entire time the screen is on, but if you are in sunlight they will turn off and stay off.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Absolutely correct, as for the lights on the haptic buttons there is a light sensor directly besides the notification light, this sensor directly tells the lights when to come on or when to stay off. Take your finger and hide the sensor it in a well lit area and the lights will come on and when you remove your finger they go back off.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
the apps disappearing bug hit me.90 or so apps disappeared from my app drawer. it appears launcher related since I switched back to golauncher and all is well now.Dang! I kinda liked the stock launcher.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JDtech1701:
I'll believe that, but every time I've tried getting on Facebook or do something other that requires data, it wouldn't load til the WiFi turned blue.

Ah...wow, that's actually a pretty cool little touch. Though I would personally prefer them to remain lighted.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dk-v1:
Just move them all to the internal memory.

Btw, there's an app for that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoydeM:
1. Hardware model: MB865

2. Firmware: 2.3.6

3. Problem: generic car charger (2000mA) that used to work before the official update (while 2.3.5) is no longer working with the phone.

4. Suggested solution: none.
[Motorola Atrix 2] crubbish:
Experiment with finger works exactly as you state. However softkeys backlighting on my Atrix 2 works in absolutely random manner. They may be backlit under direct sunlight and not backlit in a very low light environment. It's a well reported Android bug which carries over from Eclair times as far as I remember. I've had it on Desire S as well. The odd thing is that within same model/firmware version some devices have this bug and some don't.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
That is quite odd... it seems like a hardware problem more than a software problem. Does it charge wile connected to an outlet? Do any other phones charge with that charger?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
How long have you had the phone? Since about 4 days after having my first A2, it suddenly stopped charging. Took it to AT&T and got a new one. It's been almost 5 months with no problems!
[Motorola Atrix 2] MrAlcoholico:
Hi everybody, I got this "bug":

*If I let my phone "on" all nigth In the morning the 4g icon dissapear and lost data conection and is no way I can make then to normal... but if I turn it off and on the 4g and data came back

Mb865 v 2.3.5 -> 2.3.6 and in Ilfaber SCv5 I got the same issue...

Im wondering if this phone have some sleep mode or somenthing but in the morning it cant connect unless I do off on.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Settings -> Battery and Data Manager -> Battery Mode

Set it to "Performance Mode" or customize your own setting.

Hi, well I

"Performance mode" its my default, I'll try Customize...

Can't Stay Awake

I can't remember when this function isn't worked.

It's strange that the phone can stay awake when I charge the phone through the USB while the AC cannot.

I need some help :

I'm currently too busy to update the information of this post.

May anyone help us to organize the new information in the format listed in #1?

Once I see that I can copy and paste and credit to your post asap. Thank you very much.
[Motorola Atrix 2] zephxiii:
So is this phone any better now after the update with the bugs?? I was interested in this phone but reading about it here has totally scared me away from it. I've already had a bad experience with the Bravo (sms app scrolling bug, abysmal cell radio).

How is it at staying connected to the cell network?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
This phone is really great. A lot of the problems posted here aren't an issue with the phone itself. Except for one time when I was around the 1 bar 2G area, connection (on AT&T) has been great and very fast.

The only other big problem I can think of is an issue with sd cards and apps. The issue appears to be fixed with the latest update but it's still kind of quirky. Also, this phone does not like many class 10 sd cards (the card it comes with is a class 2).

Battery is great, screen is good and despite what others say it is very beautiful (more so than my OG Atrix). One annoyance that's easy to get over with is that the volume, lock, and camera buttons can be kind of hard to press... however getting a case actually makes it easier to press them. Camera isn't amazing but it's definitely good enough. One downside to this phone is that it the TI CPU is underestimated... i.e. most good, graphic-intensive games don't officially support the A2. But we have ways around that ;).

Also, we're due for ICS in Q3. This means as soon as Moto starts developing it for us we can pull the update files from their servers and get CM9 up and running. :D

Hope this helps you decide.

[Motorola Atrix 2] sola fide:
Has anyone found if a Factory Reset helps with the write to SD card bug? I bought an Atrix2 with 2.3.5, rooted it, did the keep root method and upgraded to 2.3.6. None of my apps are on the SD card but this bug gets me about once or twice a week. It's absolutely annoying.

I'll be taking pictures and the post shot thumbnail will appear in the icon window however if I try to view them they don't exist. I'll also notice that any files or pictures I deleted will still exist after a reboot. After the reboot I'll delete them again and then they'll actually be gone.

I'm just hoping for some feedback before jumping into a full Factory Reset. I don't want to go through the hassle if it's not going to fix anything. Does anyone think that rooting the phone could contribute to this problem? Or is it happening on non-rooted phones as well?

Sorry so long, thanks in advance.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
No it doesnt. I had the same issue well before 2.3.6 came out, a new sdcard remedied the problem. I had a 4gb class 10 card by Patriot....same exact issues ur reporting! Replaced it with a 8gb class 4 card by Kingston....never had another problem since and this was back in October.
[Motorola Atrix 2] KEB64:

When this bug first surfaced it seemed like it was due to the class 10 cards cause everyone reporting it had one. But alot are reporting success with class 10 cards so it seems to be hit or miss.

Well crap. Since we already have reports of a PNY class 10 and the Amazon Basics card class 10 working I decided to try a different brand. I ordered a 16GB GSkill Class 10 card to test it out.

If I have problems with it I'll send it back to newegg and get a PNY card. :D I'll let you guys know what I find out.

What can be done about this black screen of death issue? If its software based, could it be moto's kernel? If its hardware should i just force the insurance company to give me a different type of phone? Its super annoying having to keep my screen on all day.

I also have the radio dropping to nothing then emergency, then coming back. Not often but it does happen, mainly when I lose service naturally(from 4g to 3g I believe).
[Motorola Atrix 2] kojitabe:
It happen on me too.

And takes a minute to register to the network.

Sometimes when i put the phone on the table,signal drop from full bar to 2 or 1 bar.

But this also happen on og atrix.

Is this software or hardware related to this issue and any way to fix this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] FluffyCow:
I had my a2 replaced via insurance again. New one was new from moto and has no issues. Might be bad old hardware issues.
