[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyNameIsMitch:
Hey guys!

The other day, I picked up an Atrix, mainly to use as an mp3 player so my S3's battery wouldn't drain as much during the day.

So, I took the steps any good android-user would go through. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and had Clockworkmod all set up.

This is within 30 minutes of having the phone. During the first while of tinkering with it, I noticed some strange things. There's really too many to list, but I'll try.

The phone at times is completely unresponsive. At seemingly random intervals, the Atrix would freeze, and randomly start selecting things.

For example, whilst using the keyboard, it would stream out random lines of text, like yyyyzzyyzyyzyyzyyyxyyxyyzy. Thinking that it was just a fluke with the rom , I carried on.

Often, the only time I can accurately and reliably select something is immediately after turning the screen off and back on again. And sometimes, that doesn't work either.

Also, there seems to be a 4-5 second latency from pressing the screen, to the device registering it.

Again, at random intervals, the image displayed on the screen begins to shake, and becomes unresponsive. I really wish I could record it happening.

There's also a host of other problems. The wifi hasn't ever worked, and the phone flat out refuses to flash some gapps packages.

So, my Atrix is basically a non-functioning, shivering, nightmare of a phone to work with. None of these issues have been caused by flashing different roms, and I have never touched any of the sbf files.

No matter what I try, it is just unusable. Every thing I have tried has failed, and this phone is out of warranty, so replacement is out of the question. So, is there anything I can do to fix this issue? I really, really need help.

Thanks in advance guys!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbleeto:
I think we need to know what ROM (ROMS?) you are using. Is the bug recurrent? Have you thoroughly wiped cache, dalvik and did a factory reset before flashing? Are you sure you are flashing the proper Google apps for the ROM you are trying to use? And finally, are you sure your bootloader is unlocked? Does it say unlocked when booting and can you get to clockwork mod?

Those problems might be hardware, but I've experienced some of them myself from bad flashes, or corrupt pds partition, so software is far more likely. Give a little more info and I'll try to help.

Also, does Bluetooth work?

And what do you mean " refuses to flash"? What happens?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyNameIsMitch:
Hey! Well, I started on the stock ota 2.3.6

Yes, the bootloader is unlocked, cwm is the recovery, and I can get into it. Before flashing, I did wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset.

The roms I've installed are in this order:

Stock ota 2.3.6, Cyanogenmod 7 2013/1/1 nightly, TopSmart's final release 1.3 rom, and AOKP 4.1.2 from October 17.

The roms flash just fine,and I always use the correct gapps. The problems have persisted through everything I have tried.

Bluetooth does not work, and neither does anything that requires a radio. (Data, calls, wifi, etc)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affiatic:
Is this a new or used atrix. if it was bought used perhaps has a hardware problem that the seller neglected to tell you about
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyNameIsMitch:
I got it used, but it was still in the box, and even had the plastic screen that says "Don't text and drive" on it. The phone had literally never been booted up.

I think I figured out the problem, and will try to post a video of it.

The touchscreen just freaks out when being used. I found this out through the pointer location in the dev tools in Cyanogenmod 7
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eZdubzitmk4:
I'm on cm10 and random touches happen to me. I just lock and unlock the screen to fix. Only happens to me on cyanogen roms.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangebubs:
Could it be a foreign phone? that would explain the radio not working. The screen breaking and ghost touches sound like the leaked rom/kernel, was it happening with all the roms you installed?

[Micromax A110] ==vj==:
Hi.. This is my first post and i am new to android.

I own a Alps Micromax A110 with build version S9081_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.09_flasher_user. Whether this is a V1 or V2?

As i had heard that V2 would be MMX_0.16_flasher_user. But my MMX_0.09_flasher_user has got 1.48GB of Internal Storage and 1.05GB of Internal SD and option to set Preferred location to External SD.

Confused whether my version MMX_0.09_flasher_user is V1 or V2..???

Also i am not able to play HD games :( like Asphalt 7, NFS Most wanted whilst other users are able to. They crash at start screen.

The games am currently able to play smoothly are : Angry birds (All versions), Subway surfers, Temple run, Trial Xtreme, Rail rush, WorldCupCricket.
[Micromax A110] suhas.holla:
Looking at the internal storage its V2 rom i gues...

When did u buy the phone?..I think its a new version which is out of the box
[Micromax A110] ==vj==:
Hi Suhas, i bought this in early January. And it was packed, manufactured dated Dec 12.
[Micromax A110] ==vj==:
Hurray...!!! I upgraded my Micromax A110 from 0.09_flasher_user to the latest version of V2 i.e 0.16_flasher_user

And my problem with NFS most wanted and Asphalt 7 disappeared. Now the game wont crash and its running buttery smooth :D
[Nokia Lumia 920] civilization:
I need to install app with xap extension from pc to Lumai 920. How can I do that?
[Nokia Lumia 920] enyaj:
I think you can only do that with WP8 that has an actual SD card.
[Nokia Lumia 920] hfcas:
with a developer's account, you can side-load apps from your pc with sdk 8.0
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
I've tried a couple of different screen protectors, and three different cases, and I have the same problem every time.

The edges of the case tend to push at the edges of the screen protector, and start to pull it up. You can "fix" it a few times but eventually dust gets in there and then you just have a few bubbles at the side, which are unsightly.

I need cases and screen protectors that agree with eachother... where do I go?
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
I had the realook on my last phone, which is more like a "glass" material than rubber/flexible, it might fix your issue since it will be less likely to bend and fold.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_electronics?_encoding=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=realook&node=172282
[LG Optimus G (International)] vpetkar:
OK here's a revolutionary idea: scissors.

Cut the screen protector 3mm and stick it on. Don't complicate things!
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
Has this worked for you or are you just assuming? I find it very unlikely that scissors wouldn't warp the edge slightly, stopping it from going on cleanly.

A razor blade MIGHT do it, but I doubt that too. The problem is (and it applies to scissors too) is that you're cutting three layers including the two that you pull off just prior to application. It's impossible to perfectly cut through all that with household items.

It's easier without those layers, sure, but try cutting it after taking those layers off. You'll get dust or a fingerprint or some other imperfection on the sticky side, leading to a bubble underneath that you'll never get rid of. It is hard enough to avoid errant dust even when applying it 5 seconds after taking the protective layer off. 1-2 bubbles is par for the course.

So no, I wouldn't say this is very revolutionary.
[LG Optimus G (International)] gabby131:
Hi!

I understand your need for extra protection but I do have a few options for you:

- Otter box (if available, and it should be) always include a screen protector on their cases. Yes it is bulky, but you have so much armor.

- Full protection Zagg shield. This is a screen film that is fully flexible, and robust to the extent that it's almost indestructible! Zagg offers these kind of films on screen, back, and sides (Max protection option). So it's like applying a plastic cover all over the phone.

Hope this gives you a hint.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
IMHO, zagg shield is realy "rubbery", not a pleasant feel at all...
[LG Optimus G (International)] gabby131:
Yes, that's the word I was looking for to describe it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] gsrrr:
I have the Realook on my E970 and the diztronic case and it pushes up on the corners of the screen protector.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tokyopoliceclub:
I use the OEM Flip folio case with a Zagg Invisible Shield HD and have had no problems.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ryocho:
really tight cases (TPU, polycarbonate) tend to cause screen protector to lift on the edges, one way to get around that is to get a silicone or silicone/polycarbonate hybrid (think otterbox) case.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FeelLikeThis:
I like to use Apex launcher. Has a lot of options to play around with. Nova is good as well. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fbcalidude:
Thanks will definitely try it out. :)

NPS bro. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
I loved touchwiz, but trying nova and apex since last night. Both seem good, I can't decide which one I like better. Touchwiz is great if you don't care to customize the looks imo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
most of the comparisons I've seen apex vs nova is apex has all the stuff for free that nova has in prime (the paid version). I use nova myself as I purhcased it when it was on sale for 0.25 cents and haven't gone back. I used to use go launcher on my droid eris back in the day and my wife uses it on her droid charge (can't wait till her upgrade...hate that phone). My personal experience is while go launcher is nice..it seems to be more geared for older phones. Another launcher you may want to try as I hear its been upgraded is adw. All the launchers will be rather similar with small differences (unless you shell out 15 bucks for the 3d one that I can't remember the name of).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ForeverSupra:
Nova all the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ticojpunk:
On my previous phone I tried and liked all of the big three ICS/JB variants... Holo, Apex, and Nova. I used Holo the most because I got the paid version on sale. But since using the GS3 I've loved how the latest Touchwiz looks and feels. I like the way it looks, it's smooth, I get folders, app drawer folders, hidden apps, etc. And I love the calendar widget on Touchwiz.

The only thing I missed is gestures. I used to have two finger swipes setup to launch specific shortcuts/apps when I used Holo Launcher.

If I ever get sick of Touchwiz I'll definitely move on to Holo or Nova.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
I really like Nova. For me it seems to be a little smoother than Apex. I'm using the paid version and think it is worth the cost.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AegonTheDragon:
Nova, Nova, Nova and Nova.

Did I forget to mention? Nova.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TXI Kaze:
If money is of no issue then TSF. Just offers way more customization but it's pricey.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mbowe:
Nova for me. Apex and nova are what I narrowed down to a couple months back, both are very good, very smooth and very similar. Differences I remember when investigating were apex having separate up and down swipe options on dock icons (very cool) and nova having folders in the app menu. Everything else seemed comparable.

But, with the number of apps I have installed... folders in the app menu won out so I use nova.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] VittoCornelius:
Best launcher to have is one that includes all the options you need to achieve the look and feel you want ;) For me it is Nova.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sipock97:
I use Apex, but I have to admit after watching this Ubuntu Theme video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgxzbvuHwi0 I might be getting TSF. Looks cool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JEZZEJAMEZ:
Agreed tsf launcher is number one in my list, only downfall is there is no auto landscape. Next i would say sbp shell fully customizable as well. Then i would say nova prime, tied is holo, adw, nova, go launcher, touchwiz. If you have any extra loot try the tsf.

I've tried the following launchers:

Nova

Apex

Zeam

QQ Launcher

Launcher Pro

ADW

Go Launcher

Holo

Espier

360

Regina 3D

Atom

MX Home

MiHome

SPB Shell

Hi Launcher

Lightning Launcher

Probably a few more I can't remember...

Out of all of these launchers I keep coming back to Nova. It's simply the best for customization and speed. 360 and QQ Launcher are kind of fun as well but in the end nothing beats Nova.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cruiserdude:
It's all a matter of personal preference, but I find the best results and performance with Nova. It's easy enough to try all the free launchers, spend a few minutes setting one up then use it for a day or so. Some are quite unique and offer exclusive features that you may enjoy. Personally, I tend to prefer something fairly close to stock Android in looks and feel, and Nova is the best of the launchers that deliver that experience, while offering features that enhance that experience.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EcclestonC_13:
Nova or Apex

I would try either Nova or Apex as both are very good options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luv2increase:
Nova FTW!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
As you can see, most people who try many launchers prefer Nova. It's the clear winner.

I only recently switched to Nova from Apex, and I'll never go back. Nova is a beast.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HeadlessPonch:
Same here. Maybe if I'd purchased Nova back when it was $.25, but I'm not paying full price just to be able to hide apps in the drawer, which Apex does at no charge. I haven't really seen any differences between the two otherwise. I also have Apex set to 1 screen with 3 drawers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rick2179:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] undarated:
I usually take the minimalist approach. While i have paid for Nova and its a nice launcher along with a few others, I keep finding myself running the stock aosp launcher from the nexus 4 along with its apps and widgets. Before this it was stock ics launcher from the gnex and stock gb launcher from the nexus s. Nothing fancy but like i said I prefer the minimalist approach. Less is more!! LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
Nova. Got prime on sale and it does everything I want. Nice customizations and gestures work well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xcezzz:
stock launcher

I have tried many other launchers and always end up just going back to the stock touchwiz launcher. Most other launchers also seemed to be more laggy/unstable then the stock one.

Maybe I just haven't played with them enough. I flash/wipe a lot and the stock launcher is perfect exactly how it is

I guess if I wanted to get real fancy with skin/theme/customization I would try a different one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I think the launcher only directly affects app drawer and home screen. But since Nova is very lean, it indirectly may cause other things to quicken up by using less resources (RAM and such).
