[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
["Somebody's" CM10 & "That" rom] Bug/fix reports & newest info (26-Oct-2012)

Firstly, I would like to give a big Thanks to "somebody" as well as the dev team at the behind of these roms for their efforts to bring ISC & JB as great things to our device.

Recently, I've tried both the ICSROM (known as the tune of leaked Rom under CWM flashable zip - Let's click Thanks for Upndwn4par) and "somebody's" CM10 (let's click Thanks for ticiano_arraes) and saw that they both have identical issues as reported by people such as the battery life, the deep sleep, the camera flash... including working fixes. But the fixes spread over the pages of threads caused inconveniences for us to track or update info. So I would like to open new thread just for purpose of collecting bug reports and the fixes from and for both users and our devs to get latest info on these roms quickly.

Admins please feel free to delete if this thread is already opened or if it's just not neccessary.

Belows are lists of great things of ICS/JB given by these roms that you can taste right now, and also the list of bugs/issues along with the best possible solutions that you can try for workaraound while waiting for the perfect release. The lists will be updated upon report from you guys. So please provide any thing from your experiences on these roms.

* Great things:

** For both roms:

+ Touch sensitivity is a big improvement in speed and accuracy (this might be inherited from Butter Project)

+ HDMI mirror works fine.

+ Others (pls share your experiences...)

** Individually for each rom:

ICSROM:

+ Webtop 3.0: work like a charm!

+ New Camera/Camcoder by Motorola with various valued upgrades such as Auto continuous (live) focus mode even for camcoder, full HD capture...

+ FingerPrint scanner @first steps of working (worked but not yet supported by original ICS/JB).

+ New valued apps added, such as Smart Actions (similar to Tasker, Locale but more intuitive/friendly/efficient), MotoPrint (valued add not only for business man but even for home usage), Battery Tracer (for battery monitoring with rich info)...

"Sombody" CM10::

+ All great things from CM10 as you experienced with such as Epinter's rom...

+ Camera/camcoder: worked.

+ 2D hardware accelerator: worked.

+ Data/GPS/Wifi/Bluetooth...: worked fine.

* Bugs/issues and workarounds (Newest update info are sized in big text, this helps you guys to track info more quickly):

1. Camera flash doesn't work properly: (Fixing is in progress...)

- Temporary solution: Turn on the torch while capturing in dark (shouldn't keep the flash on continuously over 5 min for safety of the LED flash light)

2. Deep sleep problem (which causes your phone cannot wake up upon power key pressing): CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device

If this problem still persists on your Atrix, try one of solutions belows:

- Solution 1 (confirmed): Remove the external SD card.

- Solution 2 (Edited: seems not worked): Turn off any screen unlocker (Choose None in Screen Unlock Options)

- Solution 3 (needs more confirmation): Just reboot your phone once or serveral times after rom installation :)

- Solution 4 (provided by Pont91-unconfirmed):

+put all media files on internal SD;

+deleted all files created by any app on the external SD;

+set internal storage as main one for all the apps data (downloads, photo, rec, backups, etc.).

- Solution 5 (worked with many users): Set Never for Screen Timeout in Settings/Display, remember to press Power button to turn off the screen instead

3. Randomly reboot issue: (the phone suddenly reboots for unknown reason):

- Solution 1: (need more confirmations): Remove the SD card.

- Solution 2 ("Somebody's" CM10) : (need more confirmations): Turn off Wifi :cyclops: There are two guys who provided that:

+ Either turning off Wifi

+ Or set Wifi to NEVER SLEEP (Always on) by: Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wifi Settings/Advanced/Wifi sleep policy

can help stopping reboots. Not only for this problem, but even the issues of heat and deep sleep can also be improved. From their reports, it seems that there is some problem related to the Wifi driver with "those libs". So, try this solution at your own case and help our devs by confirming this way again. Tks.

4. The heat issue (the phone seems to keep hot all the time): The issue seems to walk along with the deep sleep problem, so the issue may be cleared when the fix for deep sleep is applied.

5. The battery life: So bad :(

Both ICSROM (known as the leaked ICS) and CM10 with "those libs" have an identical problem of battery life. As shown on my phone, the battery drains from 100% downto 50% just after a couple of hours in usual use, even if your phone is in idle state.

No fix yet for this issue :( But you can apply some of following improvements:

- Lock (freeze) unnecessary AT&T apps and services (ICSROM only)

- Turn off Auto Syn (Manually mode instead)

- Turn off or lock all tracking/reporting sevices you doubt

- Use static wallpaper instead of live one

6. Ram low or several other suggestions only for ICSROM: clike here

7. The I/O performance is a characteristic weakness of both roms which are using "those" libs. You can see this on the results report of Quadrant. Essentially, you can see that the data processing speed is significantly slower than the CM7.2 by using, for e.g, Call Log Backup & Restore, etc...

No yet improvement for this disadvantage of both roms :(

8. Blackscreen issue after a lock/unlock: CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is now still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device

9. Black incoming call screen and blackscreen issue after a call: CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is now still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device

...Other issues (please share and provide your own solution...)

Thanks for continuous reports from you guys!
