[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwskipro:
Hi All,

I just recently got a Samsung Focus Flash after my old Focus died. I unlocked it and everything, got it all setup and whatnot back to where my Focus was. The only issue I'm experiencing is that when I go to delete an email in the thread view, unread, it either lags (the email stays on the screen in the list of emails, highlighted as if unread) or it doesn't delete and I have to try deleting it at least once, maybe two more times before it finally disappears... Thoughts?

On my original Focus, when I deleted an email it would disappear from the list immediately. I want this back!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trey.mcd:
Hey team,

Wondering if you had seen this problem on your notes? Every once in a while after a screen wake, my note's screen flips the hell out. The best way to describe it is like when you plugged your NES into the cable and it was set on channel 3, but your tv was on channel 4 and it was spanning Mario over the screen like 10 times in a second.

I've had this happen on every ROM I've been on, and it is solved by putting the phone to sleep via power. Just wondering if anyone else has ever seen this?

Thanks team

I'm on stock LPY [OTA Update] IIRC it's been happening sporadically to me since Gingerbread. Seems to be a hardware issue. [Also I believe the phone had been hotter than usual whenever it happened]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trey.mcd:
Did you ever notice it on Gingerbread? I think any flavors of ICS I've tried have done this to me

As you can see, not much has really changed for us Atrix 2 owners... :/

This is Motorola we're talking about here - you'd be asking for a miracle. :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Just for satisfaction I spent 5 straight hours arguing with them over our bootloader being locked. 5 emails and 2 chat sessions at the same time, multiple times.

It did no good. they assured me they would forward my input to somewhere that would read it.

one person connected me to level 2 support, then they yelled at me for wasting their time by not needing to be upgraded.

EDIT: I am doing it again now, because I am bored, so feel free to join me in being a pain in the ass.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
You get a cookie for "wasting their time."

I would give you an ice cream sandwich, but....
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
That was my plan. I know it does no good, but it is amusing to watch them use the same generated message over and over again. I got one person who actually seemed to be a developer take my side and say he has tried to convince them from the inside. that did no good either. The funny thing was that he said we was helping us with checking cheesecake. LOL!!!

LOL NICE,

this is my current conversation. look at the person's name!

I understand the risks and would be more than willing to dump my warrenty for full access. I own this phone and you have no write to limit how I use it

Jingky: I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that I will be doing my best to help you with your concern.

Jingky: Let me check this in our system. One moment, please.

Luke Krasner: companies like HTC have found the solution by allowing users to unlock but kill their warranty in the proccess

Luke Krasner: your system won't find anything but the same message you guys send every time I do this

Jingky: Let me check this in our system. One moment, please.

Luke Krasner: a bunch of BS about you wanting to protect against malware and have better security for the average user

Luke Krasner: well let me tell you something. I AM NOT AN AVERAGE USER, SO STOP CONTROLLING WHAT I DO WITH MY DEVICE

Jingky: I understand sir, let me check. Okay?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I do this ALL the time with them... last time I was Elmer Fudd, and today I was Mr. sly... I never give them any real information and I am transferred to a ton of people and I get them all flustered, I even told a dev he was a stupid moron, since he did not understand why I needed to unlock my bootloader. He said and I quote "Custom ROMs are not good for the phone, and shorten its lifespan, and that they are so unstable that no should have to fight with them." "That is why we lock the bootloaders, it is for your safety."

Laugh Out freakin Loud!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
I'm surprised you're even really wasting this much time with tech support personnel - often times those jobs are outsourced to a foreign country where the person won't have the slightest clue on up to date information.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
Translation: "We're too lazy to actually listen to our customers, so just take our word for it."
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I really can't believe that Moto would be so freakin' anal about something like this. I remember with the 1st Atrix I had, before trading it out for the A2, when I accidentally powered on while holding the volume up button, and getting some crazy A$$ed menu screen pop up that I had no idea what to do with. If they're so concerned with the "safety" of their devices in the consumers hands, they should never let them out of their own.

I always thought that Moto was a decently reputable company, one that wouldn't try to dictate through locked 'this or thats' what the end user can or cannot do with their device. It's really put me off with them, but hearing some of the rants with dealing with Moto service it's really no different than calling the service line of ANY major company -everything is outsourced and the person on the other end is dumber than a sack of smashed a$$holes. :mad:
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
wow, nice. Elmer fud, that is just fantastic. today one guy said "you should not be trying to put a bootloader on the phone, that can harm it and break it." I just laughed and ended the conversation.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
These people really don't even know what they are talking about, huh? Who trains these bonobos?

lol @ "...trying to put a bootloader on the phone..."
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
Sounds a lot like an auto manufacturer installing a device that will steer your car for you and telling you it is for your protection. Out Freaking Standing!!! And they probably sit up at night wondering why HTC and Samsung are kicking their ass. We pay good money for these devices and many of us are loyal customers, if we want to wreck our devices they should let us. The publicity that unlocked devices receive in the community increases sales alone, but they will never understand that. Oh well, you can't expect stupid people to listen to logic
[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
:eek:

This isn't running with scissors, guys. My phone is not that emo, it's not going to cut me. Apparently if it's a Motorola its going to whine at me for exceeding the speed limit by 5 mph. It's like having a particularly know-it-all toddler in the back seat.

[Motorola Atrix 2] :
I am truly amazed you spent 5 hours doing this. I can't stand being on the phone with att customer service for over 10 minutes. I have a uverse bundle and always have to call about my bill. The customer service reps just annoy me so i could imagine calling moto about the bootloader. I don't have the patience.:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
I have AT&T for U-Verse service as well (all 3 bundled). Thankfully I never have to call them though because everything works perfectly as it should. :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Washburned:

[Motorola Atrix 2] big ach:
I kinda feel bad for them when I go on Motorola's facebook page and they have a nice picture saying something like "What do you use the Droid Razr for when you are stuck at the airport?"

And then in the comments section every other post you see....

"Unlock bootloader!!!!"

"WHERE IS ICE CREAM SANDWICH"

"GETTING A NEXUS... MOTOROLA SUCKS"

"WHY HAVEN'T YOU UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER"

"BOOTLOADER *****ES!!!"

"Why don't I have Ice Cream Sandwich yet???"

"I listen to music on my Droid Razr"

"BOOTLOADERRRRRR!!!!"

lol :-) its still funny... but I still feel bad for the Moto customer support rep that has to do the facebook posts lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
Don't feel bad for them at all. That is what they get paid for. If they don't like their job they can quit.

Since jellybean is official and the 4.1 sdk is out the source shouldn't be too far behind.looks like jellybean and cm 10 will be on nexus and bl unlocked devices before we get ics.Motorola thank you for making sure I never buy any of your products again.

Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah but I heard the Nexus this year WILL be a Moto device.

LOL

I won't get it even if it is the Nexus, I have not had a nexus yet, I always wait for the more refined version that gets released several months later.... look at the SGS 3, it is last years nexus with some more good stuff... I am hoping that AT&T gets off their rear, and gets the nexus phones this year though, but I doubt it, I am guessing it will be another verizon droid that is unlocked and ready to play.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Yeah I'm to the point that even if the next nexus is an octacore with 16gb of memory if its made by moto it's a nogo. As far as AT&T getting a new nexus this year, they've become the last guy to the party. You know the one who shows up already drunk and shouldn't even bothered.

Motorola lied and I'm still locked mb865
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I'm right there with ya, mtlion. Moto can have the reputation among the people who are like you, me, and everyone else who wants "more" from their device -people that paid good money for, and which is further their personal property after point of sale is finished- that they (Moto) want nothing more than to be a 'force to be reckoned with', or should I say, just a pain in the A$$! ;)

I guess all we can do is keep checking cheesecake. I've been checking everyday. For those who have found leaks via cheesecake in the past, is there any rhyme or reason as to which servers we all should be focusing on? Also I find it comical that they name some of their servers after the Simpsons
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
You know the only way this would happen is with google force feeding it down AT&T's throat and saying take this.

But we all would have to admit it would be bittersweet!! AT&T with a nexus device, it being unlocked and a moto.......

[Motorola Atrix 2] X-jo:
nowadays ppl just want ICS/ JB and what not... you have a phone here, which on stock gives you 24hrs backup on a fullcharge and it a damn superb phone. still ppl are cribbing about how moto doesnt do this and that.. ppl want just updates and not a REAL phone... i just moved to A2 from my LG OP1 and i find GB itself to be so awesome.. well can't blame those who just wants more and more...

I am fine with waiting for A2's ICS to come in 3 months or even not. And I am no way related to Moto, heq the moto service centers here itself are getting shut down at some places still i got this and i don't regret it. stock ROM rocks ..

cheers A2
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Check in QA and STAGING.. they are most likely to have updates.. the asia retail were available on the first server of qa and 3rd of staging for atleast half a month.. they recently removed them..
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
Well, even if the update comes out and you don't want it, you don't have to update your phone. So either way, this doesn't affect you. But what about the rest of us who want the updates? :rolleyes:
[Motorola Atrix 2] X-jo:
I don't mind waiting for the updates... but those cribbing for updates just sounds ridiculous. Moto never mentioned in the box that if you buy A2 you will be getting ICS for sure. So all we can do is wait when it comes. Thats what i am telling. Here we have an awesome phone (I have seen new phones in the same cost range and it sucks, they crib about the phone only and not about ICS).

Our xda developers and friends are trying to do the best to get us faster ROMs and CM9 ones. So lets just help them here is what I would say. If Moto has determined to give ICS update to A2 by say Sept, then even if we have a 1000 posts' thread demanding for ICS now, we won't get it. As simple as that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athani:
Well, if someone gets satisfaction from letting out the steam here, why not? :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
Actually IF You read the Statement Google made basically Telling manufacturers that they HAVE to have ICS Rolled out on devices made after so and so date it would make a little more sense why people are jumping up and down wanting it. Though the deadline I think for roll out was sometime in late Q3 for the devices. Regardless though the Only reason I am looking forward to ICS Update is for Hopefully (Not likely though) Unlocked bootloader and fixes of some of the stupid bugs these things have because of their shotty dev team at motorola.
[Motorola Atrix 2] X-jo:
Yes its late Q3, but the deadline aint over. So lets jump abt it IFF we dont get the update by late Q3. Is what I'm telling. Cheers
[Motorola Atrix 2] X-jo:
Could you lemme know these bugs(or a link to any thread explaining the same, as of now I haven't faced any issue on my stock A2) . Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
Most of the bugs I am talking about have to do with Micro SD card issues. The phone tends to have issues with anything above a class 6 although I suppose that could possibly be due to hardware but it seems more like a software issue because a reboot usually fixes any issues it is experiencing temporarily. I am not sure on actual links to this because I just more or less gave up on fixing it by just rebooting.
[Motorola Atrix 2] X-jo:
luckily for me i am using a class 4 , 8GB Micro SD card. Class 6 SD card is just 2mbps more than the class 4 acc to what I know. That doesn't seem that much of a difference. Do you know any other good reason to move to a class 6 card ? Else class 4 is more than enough.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MagicXB:
The Motorola Android Software Upgrade Chart has been updated, as of July 2.
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
... and just for the record, it's been updated again. I know it's pretty much useless.. just saying.

Good thing for the Asian region is Atrix is next in chart, *hopefully* next to get ICS :XtremelyOptimistic: :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] negroxor:
Sorry guys but why is everyone saying that moto nexus is gonna suck? Google bought Motorola so (I guess) the phone is gonna have full updates and everything unlocked because of Google, probably not even blur:). Moto hardware + Google developers. Just my humble opinion.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nephillim:
Look at Moto's past on "unlocked"..... 'nuff said.

To that matter... ask an OG Atrix if their Bootloader is still unlocked after recent updates.... LOL
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
A MOTO Nexux would be the only way MOTO ships a phone developer friendly and unlocked and even then I'd have to see it to believe it ;)

Hi,

Im thinking of using my S2 as a media streamer now I have the S3. Initial tests have been mixed, with the best performance coming from BubbleUPnP and MX Player, Does anyone have any hints and tips that might improve things. Also is there a good, Android to Android remote app? As would be nice to be able to control it remotely.

Any hints or tips would be great.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Well, you're asking how to best pound a square peg into a round hole... but anyways; if you want it to perform its best as a "media streamer", I'd say factory reset/full wipe it, debloat it as much as you can, only install the bare minimum of what you want on it.

As far as remote controlling: http://www.google.com/search?q=control+another+android+device
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broomfundel:
Thanks for the advice. I know Ill probably end up copying large mkv files rather than streaming them. The mhl cable wont work with the S3 and rather than bin them Im hoping my square peg can fit a hole like this.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Why won't the mhl cable work with the s3? Isn't the s3 an mhl device?

Edit: ah, I see the s3 has its own special mhl adapter that isn't compatible with other mhl devices. Bravo, Samsung. WTF.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Milothicus:
I've used Rehearsal Assistant on my old phone to record performances during rehearsal, but they were always distorted because the mic is overloaded.

i bought the Razr because the sound quality on audio recordings on youtube seemed much clearer and useful for me to rehears with.

i can choose the 'concert' audio setting when i'm using the stock camcorder app, but it seems like other apps don't have access to this setting, and my Rehearsal Assistant is still getting overloaded.

are there Apps that can take advantage of these sound settings? or is there a way to default to the 'concert' setting?

any info would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
An overloaded microphone can't be fixed with settings. That's a mechanical failure. These mics are very small and work well at volumes below around 96db.

The settings will adjust themselves using software AGC. The distortion you're hearing is due to the mic diaphragm slamming into the magnet.

Best bet: try to find some mylar sheet plastic, cut it into 2cm x 1cm rectangles. Tape them in layers over the microphone hole until the mic is no longer overloaded. Try two sheets: my son did that at a concert and the quality was what I'd expect for a cheap microphone, but not distorted. That was an iPhone. I have no idea what the SPL rating on the two mics is, or which is "better".

You can use other materials, but mylar seems to be stiff enough to preserve the hi-hat/cymbals while cutting the pressure of the sound waves hitting the mic transducer.

First off he's asking about ICS India which doesn't have the same ETA as USA/Canada. Second, I don't go on the motorola forums ever but how exactly do you know that the "servbotx" user works at moto?
