Atrix Wifi Error Experiment

My phone recently had this same problem. Same week Moto announced they wouldn't be updating the Atrix to ICS. Not too thrilled with those guys right now. Just wanted to share an experiment I tried.

For those that work with electronics, you're familiar with cold solders and the fact that shorts/opens can pronounce themselves dependent on temperature. Out of curiosity, I tossed my Atrix in the freezer for 1/2 hour. When I pulled it out, I quickly turned on the wifi and it instantly enabled, saw my router and connected.

It only lasted seconds however before the device heated up enough to fail again. What does this tell us? Not too much. It could be an open/short internal to the chip - possible 'Pad No Sticks' meaning the wire bonding to the pads on chip have failed, or it could be external to the chip - soldering to the motherboard (poor soldering).

I've read before where someone ran their device through a reflow, so I've just assumed it wasn't a cold solder issue. However, maybe we shouldn't be so quick to assume re soldering or re flowing the solder wouldn't solve the issue. Has anyone else tried re soldering their chips?

I have a very operational device - my luck, but my friend got this error recently... He didn't flash anything, didn't unlock, only root... He is on 2.3.4, never get it to 2.3.6 ! On the other side, I flashed all kinds of ROMs

As we proved here it is a hardware issue, should I be worried ? Is there only certain batch of them misbehaving like this, or all are affected ?

Mine is ATRIX4G AT&T,and so is his...

And finally - is this a WiFi chip related, or something else - bcs I would go for the Razor Maxx HD which apparently has the same WiFi chip, or I think so...

You're the best! fix for wifi error

John Aurelio, you are a genius!.

I live without use anymore the wifi, but after read your post I try to do what you say.

Unbelievable!. Work like a charm.

Detailed step to step:

1. I cut a piece of a plastic credit card, with the same length of the sim card.

2. Remove the back plastic of the phone

3. Slide the piece pushing light to the floor between the boards.

4. Put the back cover with special attention in the antenna connector.

If you can put a video or instructions can be very helpful, or create a new thread, you can find a big amount of people with this problem and everyone tell or a)is a hardware problem(and not have solution), or b)cut the internal button battery soldered. But your solution is the only who really work.

This remember me the touch panel vertical bar fail, the solution is very similar: you need to put something between the battery and the power button, and work too! :).

Again, thanks!, you are the best, I'm very happy with my phone working again!.

Has anyone tried just to fix screws tighter?

I am afraid that it would simply also fix the job.

I just observed, after following the recommended fix, that when I was removing the first couple screws in the centre of the back plate, there seemed normally fixed. When I continued removing the rest, I remember that they were much tighter and so I am afraid that, it might be just that.

I won't check it now cause I got fed off with all that reboots but it seems to logical now.

Thank you all mates, atrix is a wonderful phone and all that silly reboots made me feel awkward last month.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidrums4:
I just tried fixing those two screws tighter (the screws at the bottom of the battery compartment) and got no luck. I had never removed or even touched any screw from my phone, I even didn't let it fell to the ground.

My phone went screwed a pair of weeks ago, exactly one year after I bought my phone (like 100% people that had this issue). Planned obsolescence, thank you so much Motorola.

Will try the fix proposed by John Aurelio. If I got luck, I will send him a six pack of beers. Without wifi my phone is unusable.

If someone sees this post, can you confirm if when your phone has low battery charging percentace the thing with crappy wifi comes back? It's happening to me...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigJeff:
1. I didn't search so don't yell at me.

2. If this has been posted before, don't yell at me.

OK, so I have an extra Atrix with a busted digitizre (working on it) and bluetooth and wifi modem. So I did some digging and found a way to stop the reboots. This doesn't enable wifi / blutooth but it allows you to use the device. Use ADB to pull settings.db from /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/ And edit it with a SQL editor. There is a table called secure and #29 is what you're gonna want to edit, it tells the phone whether to start wifi on boot or not. Change it from a 1 to a 0. Delete the original or at least I did, using ./adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/ and then push the new one there and reboot. My device hasn't rebooted yet but idk how reliable that is because I can't use it. GIVE IT A TRY if you don't want to take your phone apart for the 1000th time.

P.S. credit goes to goldy1234 because he did this for some other phone and reapplied it here.

Holy S*** it really worked@!

Every time other people have luck with a solution like this it never works for me.

Putting the piece of plastic between the boards really really works. Just saved me alot of headache and keeps my data going over the 3gb limit and keeping me from getting throttled. Thx again John Aurelio

Update: worked for a few days now its giving me errors again.. I took the plastic out and put it back in and it worked again this morning.. but now its back to having problems.. I guess its hit or miss for me now but thats better than not working ever. still frustrating tho
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piffguru:
So this did cause the phone to not enable wifi on boot but it also seems to have stopped the function of the home and search soft key.. also the lockscreen is gone.. Only thing I can think that causes this problem for me is after I edit just the 1 to the 0 and save the file, then I open the new file to check if it looks the same and alot of the info is missing for some reason? could I be saving it or changing it incorrectly?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigJeff:
Here this is an old file on my computer and idk if it will work and as usual assume no responsibility for your actions. Idk if it will work but i still had what i think is the file so just unzip it and use my settings.db and if that doesn't work i will make a new one for you.

Hi everybody,

I would like to use a "drive test" apps that collect RF parameters but I noticed a lot of problems with them on my Galaxy s2. Example apps are "RF SIGNAL TRACKER" or "G-MoN for Android 2.x".

This applications display and collect with GPS coordinates a lot of parameters that permit to understand the behavior of the network by a technical point of view (RSSI signal strength, SNR, Ec/No) and it's useful for radio planning engineer activities.

The developer noticed that many Samsung devices suffer of compatibility problem but nobody is able to solve it...

Next several search into developer forum I understand the problem is related to the only MODEM part of each ROM.

After many test with custom ROM I founded one able to work but still present some issues (version "I9100XXLP1").

Anyone is able to understand which parameters have to be tracked on the Android modem???Could we find a solution patch for all the modem part bin?? I would like to work on it.

I've searched both in google and in the internal XDA search engine and found no solution to my problem. I've had it since I bought my SGS+ and happened with every music player I've had (playerpro, winamp, poweramp, doubletwist, n7, the default one...).

Every time I switch off my phone or transfer files to it (I use the safe extraction), my playlists (created with the music apps) go empty.

Maybe the music indexing service that runs on boot hasn't indexed those files?

If anyone knows the name you can tell him to try to clear it's data, reboot and leave his phone untouched for 5-7 minutes.

I'm from Norway, and I have a friend who is working in Huston, TX, USA.

Where is the best place to buy a TF300 in that area?

And do you think there will be a problem with the warranty? Will I have to ship it directly to Asus if I have a problem?

I will just buy the tf300 witouth the keyboard, and I will save around 200 USD. So its tempting.
[Transformer TF300T General] dsf3g:
He can pick one up at a Best Buy. That's where I bought mine. They've got a decent 30 day return policy, so your friend can test the tablet out and make sure it's good and return it or exchange it if there's a problem.

That's where I bought mine. First unit I got had a flaky touchscreen and I was able to exchange it with no fuss.

(Just one thing: as far as I know Best Buy is still only stocking the 16 Gb version. Office depot, however, carries the 32 Gb model and has a similar exchange policy.)

You can only get the 16gb at best buy but office depot has the 32gb version.

I am a bit sceptical, since some people are having problems with it. I think it will be a pain in the a$$ if I get a problem and have to send it back to the store in Huston or directly to asus. But then 200 USD is a lot of money..

[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
If your friend knows enough about tablets, you could have him try it out before he sends it to you. You won't quite get the freshly-opened experience, but you'll know that your tablet won't have to be returned.

I've installed nAa's MiniCM9, and managed it to be superfast. I've decided to collect the tips and tricks that you can use to increase the speed of your phone. It will run like hell, but i can't say the same about the battery :P So if you want a (relatively) longer battery life, im afraid this thread isn't for you.

1. After you installed the rom, supercharge it with V6 SuperCharger by zeppelinrox

howto: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276

i've chosen 256+ HP super unledded

2. Use swapper

howto: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445543

a 128 MB swap file in my case

3. At the performance settings use the following options:

CPU: 748 Mhz with smartassV2 governor (this is the most stable for me, but you can experiment with higher CPU clock), and set on boot of course

RAM: zRAM 18%, and turn on purging of assets and KSM

Turn off Surface dithering, and use 16bit transparency

4. Use Apex launcher instead of Trebuchet (or ADW/LauncherPro if you don't persist the ICS experience).

note that if you change the launcher, you have to run the SuperCharger script again to make the new launcher also die-hard

5. With a root exprorer (e.g. ES file explorer) delete the unused apps from system/apps directory. Stay away from apps like Facebook, whose eating a lot from your precious RAM in the background

Enjoy your good old X8 running ICS, reaching 1800+ points at AnTuTu benchmark and running real fast and smooth :P I hope i helped. Have fun!

Hey all,

Hoping there are peeps that can help with some suggestions.

I was on .42, rooted with bloatware removed. I used Link2SD with 2 partitions (done in linux) for all my apps to be on the SD.

I did have a 16GB class 10, all was fine. I switched about roms etc (tried ICS and Jokerwild) but decided to come back to stock .42 until the official ICS comes out. I've got same as above now but with DoomKernel 3013

But its sluggish as hell.
