Thanks I will give it a try.

One more question, the link you gave me, which one should I use being there is multiple links.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2005blkgto:
Tried to do the recovery and same issue I can not get into clockworks so I am basically stuck, If I goto recovery it will just get stuck at the white splash screen.

I am really lost at what to do now :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Can you boot into your ROM at all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2005blkgto:
^^^^^

No not at all.

If I power down than press volume down and power it will take me to the screen where I can goto to recovery but when I select it and try to go to recovery it will reboot and show the white splash screen that says EVO 4G and thats it, it will just stay there.

If I try to download a ROM or do a Backup and when it reboots to the same white splash screen it will just stay stuck there.

It looks to me the phone is partially rooted cause wireless tether, superusers, rom manager works but when I tried to download titanium so I can do the unroot and wipe the data clean titanium won't work.

At this point I have read a-lot of other posts and tried many other things but they all require me to go into clockworks which I can't. I even tried another method I seen on Youtube but I can't find unrevoked on my EVO anywhere.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I mean can you boot your phone up normally, and from the looks of it you can. You just need to reflash your recovery. Boot your phone up, go into ROM Manager and hit flash clockwork. After doing that, choose the flash alternate recovery option to flash Amon Ra and then do all your ROM flashing through recovery and not through ROM manager from here on out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2005blkgto:
I will try this tonight.

[Focus General] melted_focus:
Earlier this week, my less than 90 day old Samsung Focus suffered an apparently self-induced meltdown (pics below).

The problem started when the phone started repeatedly making the sound that you make when you plug it in to charge or sync it. The phone was not plugged in at the time.

First I unlocked the phone and found that it seemed to be fully functional, but the repeated tone continued - almost as if there was some type of internal short which caused the phone to think it was being plugging and unplugged over and over. I rebooted the phone, thinking that might resolve the issue. After a few seconds up returning to the lock screen, the repeating tone started again.

I unlocked the phone again and noticed that the battery indicator icon was sort of flickering each time the tone sounded. Hmmm, maybe plugging the phone into the Samsung wall charger will help. Plugging the phone in did stop the repeating tones, but after ~30 seconds I smelled a strong smell that smelled like burning electronics.

I picked up the phone, realized that was where the smell was coming from, and quickly unplugged it. After doing so, I noticed that the USB/charge port in the phone was melted, as was the male end of the Samsung USB cable.

I took the phone to my local AT&T corporate store - they had not seen or were aware of a related issue. Since I've had the phone more than 30 days, I was not eligible for an in-store exchange.

The AT&T rep that I was working with gave me paperwork for the AT&T Device Service Center (DSC) in town, and told me that they'd likely be able to take care of my phone under warranty.

I went to the AT&T DSC and relayed the above story to them. After speaking with a technician, supervisor, and manager I was told that they had no record or service bulletins related to the issue. As a result, they could not warranty my phone. The manager told me that my phone fell into the "damaged phone" category, which is not covered by the warranty.

I argued that the damage which occurred to the phone was not due to my negligence (i.e., dropped it in a toilet, ran over it with my truck, etc) , but because I simply plugged it in. To no avail - my Focus was a "damaged phone which was not eligible for warrantly repair or replacement".

The manager said that I had two options - contact the AT&T warranty department who could "assist" me with a replacement phone, but would charge my account the full, no-contract price or submit an insurance claim with AT&T, pay the deductible, and get a "like-new" replacement phone.

I am currently awaiting a phone call from a supervisor with the AT&T warranty department, who is to contact me within 24-48 hours.

This sucks...
[Focus General] JamesAllen:
Run Around

Contact your state consumer affairs office or the attorney generals office. This phone failed, it was not damaged IMHO. I contacted the warranty center as well for the same problem, but no damage yet. The female Technical Support person I spoke to told me the following:

. This is a known problem and she had MANY complaints about it.

. In a Technical Support meeting, they were told this was a known issue with Microsoft and an upcoming release contains a fix for it.

. They suspect it is caused by a virus invading the phone via internet browsing.

. They won't do a warranty exchange if there is a virus in the phone.

The virus part is absolute garbage. Since, as users, we don't control internet security, they are still responsible IMHO. I contacted my ATT store manager and he assured me they will get me a replacement under warranty, even though mine is 60 days old. I have the extended warranty. Mine only happens occasionally now and the frequency is getting longer between issues.

AT&T has turned into a garbage company since I worked for them nearly 10 years ago. At one time they were the Walmart of cell phone companies, if anything was wrong they would make it right. Now, they avoid satisfying the customer at all costs if it means they have to spend some money.
[Focus General] BradM32751:
This is a scary situation b/c I can easily see ATT and Samsung both tryin to sidestep this problem. I haven't seen this problem stated on many other forums but even so, they should try to resolve the issue and not automatically blame it on you. The usual "User error" bs... I try not to keep mine plugged into the wall charger for too long b/c it charges quickly and does get a bit hot if left charging (personal experience). I forgot and had it running an app that could stay in background through the lock while plugged in and that made it get very hot to the touch. Won't do that again. But this issue needs to be addressed b/c it isn't some minor flaw, but something that leaves your new phone useless.
[Focus General] wildbilll:
This sounds like a story told many times over the years. You are outside of warranty. You are hosed.

Then, when it gets out in the media that more than one user is having the same issue, magically there is warranty coverage, even for phones that are past the cut off date for a normal warranty.

XBOX 360 Red Ring of Death - warranty period extended.

Cars - it happens all the time.

Some laptops catching on fire

Anyone else think of some more examples?
[Focus General] SuperSport:
I've also been concerned about the USB port. On my phone, this is the hardest to use USB port I've owned, and I've owned MANY! You have to fuss with it a LOT to get the cord to insert properly. I am afraid that over time, a pin will get bent due to being tough to insert. I wonder if that is what might have happened here?
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
unless they can prove your negligence, aka liquid damage or something you purposely did to make this happen, they have to warranty this... i would warranty it, and i used to work for both companies and thats the kind of decision they paid me to make... stand up and dont give in...demand a new unit...its your right...

I can't get the print scanner to work with widget locker. Am I missing something??
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bigjimsax:
I tried using the fingerprint scanner also with widgetlocker and I believe it didn't work because the default lockscreen is associated with the scanner program. When I first set up the scanner after installing widget locker the default lockscreen popped up inorder to swipe. I am assuming the scanner and widgetlocker cannot be used at the same time.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] beazie0885:
I'm having no problem with mine, I use widget locker to unlock to fingerprint scanner, sometimes it takes a second for fingerprint scanner to initialize tho.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CC Lemon:
^ I assume they're trying to use the fingerprint scanner with widgetlocker how it reacts with the stock lock screen. That is to say: Use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the widgetlocker screen and not have to use the stock lock screen at all.

I would also be very interested in finding a way to do this as I really like using the fingerprint scanner but ended up choosing the ability to customize my lock screen as more important. Using both is just a pain...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] WiredPirate:
I confirm Widget Locker is not fingerprint enabled. Anybody send the dev an email? Looks like it is becoming a requested feature.. :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] kevin@TeslaCoil:
(dev)

I was already planning on adding this as I realized it was possible and it'd be cool, but I am surprised how many people are interested in this. Motorola clearly did something right with this fingerprint scanner.

WL 2.0.1 will support being unlocked with the fingerprint scanner. Configure the scanner like normal for security, turn on your screen and see WL, you won't see the prompts for swipe now or swipe too fast, but you can still feel the vibration feedback. Swipe successfully and both WL and the moto security lockscreen go away.

If you swipe WL's unlock slider you'll be taken just to the moto slider, not directly to the pin. I can't bypass that yet.

You can try it now if you're interested:

http://teslacoilsw.com/tmp/WL_2.0.1beta2.apk (Requires market license)

Note, you may see a red square for a moment at the bottom of the screen, this is just some visual debugging I'm doing and will go away in 2.0.1final. If the red square gets stuck (and everything stops working) then let me know.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] CC Lemon:
Good news! Looking forward to the full release. Definitely going to be using that to unlock again.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bfinch:
Works great. Thanks. I like that if someine tries to unlovl my phone with the slider, it takes them to the moto lockscreen.

And I have no red X on my screen. Just fyi
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] sponge_worthy:
Sweet. I was hoping this would be supported. Love widget locker.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jug6ernaut:
Awesome! ive been waiting for this xD(proud owner for a while now :D)

Seriously tho...this just made my day.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ririal:
That's pretty awesome. I appreciate how quickly you're working on getting this feature added. It's kinda annoying to have to unlock my screen twice right now, so when this update goes live I'll be very happy to use WL again. :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jug6ernaut:
I find the fingerprint reading on the beta version listed here to be very sporadic. Sometimes it works most of the time nothing. Just usrt feedback.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] olieebur:
Works great for me. My lockscreen:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
downloading now .. D: I bought this app and all.. but with that apk.. can't other people just download it now o_o
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ririal:
Nope.

Been using for a few days, works great. :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] davewuvswaffles:
Any chance you can share whatever you did to make it look like that?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jug6ernaut:
No if u read devs post u have to have bought it for it to work...ie license check
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
mm.. I'm not sure.. but I might have had a slow down because of widgetLocker.. disabled and rebooted.. and it's back to it's speedyness.

Maybe it was just the reboot that did it.. I'll try to enable it again later and see if I get the same results..

(not rooted) on stock, (used home helper)

Dude please link me to that wallpaper.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
love it, thanks!

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
how do i hide/disable/remove the Long-press To Drag/Drop text/label on the lockscreen?

i've looked through all the settings, but i guess i'm missing something. :(
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
That only shows on the tool mode.. I believe ... When you actually lock your phone it shouldn't say that
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] olieebur:
Used se xperia arc clock from the leak. Downloaded simple text widget in market to have it say the fingerprint message
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] itsonlym3:
hmmm...in Lock Mode and i still see it. honestly, it's not that big of a deal. maybe it's part of using the "Beta".
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
Lol you cann always just delete that slider and make a new one that doesn't have it
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jkurl:
Great work. I love it that I can use the finger printer scanner now w/ widgetlocker. awesome job.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bearsfan172:
What's the notification bar though?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jefesaurus:
Hmm, I like it, but I have a slight issue. When using the finger print scanner and WL, launching applications, such as the camera, straight from the lock screen requires reverification with the original moto lockscreen... So like, it works fine with just unlocking, but if I try to use a camera slider, it brings me to the moto screen for verfication, instead of directly to the camera. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ririal:
Another possible bug I've noticed: The WL screen timeout is set for 15 seconds and changing the settings doesn't work. It was fine for a few days (I had it set to use the default system screen timeout), but sometime overnight last night it's set itself to 15 seconds and won't change. It's just WL that's turning off the screen, since I can just hit the back button and WL will close without having to unlock the phone.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] live4nyy:
I believe they haven't found a way to bypass this except for the HTC Sense version of Android.

Have you reported bugs to Tesla as to speed the development of the beta?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dhatch93:
The beta isn't working for me to use the fingerprint reader to unlock - hopefully the final release will work. Yes - I have the paid version of the app, but everytime my screen comes on it doesn't do anything when i swipe my finger. I have to use the slider on the screen then it just shows the pattern unlock (what I was using before enabling fingerprint)...:(
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
alright follow these steps see if it works..

enable widgetlocker

go to settings

disable lockscreen security

press power to lock it

then unlock

go back to settings and enable fingerprint security

then you'll be asked to enter the # code.. and swipe etc.

after you're done setting up

widgetlocker should work with it :T

(I know i had probably unnecessary steps there buh.. just to be sure)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dhatch93:
getting it to work with the beta

Thanks - this worked. I thought I had tried every combo of disabling security, disabling widgetlocker, enabling wl, enabling security but i guess not...:o
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Ririal:
Got my issue resolved, was another app doing it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] beazie0885:
^ what app was it?? i just tried the steps above and its still not working. getting frustrated messing with settings!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] beazie0885:
How did you get the little lock picture on there?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
The lock icon is the unlock icon for the theme "Moto"

the text regarding the fingerprint is a widget called "Minimalistic Text"
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
I dunno if Tesla is still looking at this thread but :x

Sometimes.. when i get a text message.. my LED doesn't blink.. and sometimes when my screen turns on and i turn it back on immediately .. WidgetLocker has already locked it and I can't unlock it with my finger because the default lockscreen didn't lock during that time.. :x
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] abe1990:
i was trying to download this apk. but it seems the link is broken? and what does it mean by 'requires market license' ???

i have the paid version. but would love to try out this beta.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] olieebur:
I recently found out the one in the market has been updated to this version so you can just get it there.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] live4nyy:
I wonder if that has anything to do with the "5 Second Rule"
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
The 5 second rule should only apply when pressing the home button..
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jug6ernaut:
The 5 second rule deals with when the home button is pressed no service being able to launch an activity until 5 seconds passed.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
and ... how does that relate to my issue of the screen timing out... then pressing power to turn it back on.. having widgetLocker welcome me but not being able to fingerprint unlock because the default lockscreen didn't lock? :o
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] thetechman123:
Does widget locker hav gingerbread themed sliders?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Tennis11:
It might have been solved but here's my problem.

I enabled WL and disabled stock screen.

Then went and configured prints.

Then tried it: stock screen shows for 3 secs, then WL shows, but the prints don't register. Not getting any vibrations or anything.

What to do?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] MaluNoPeleke:
I hope that the developer can fix the second (Motorola) unlock screen if you don't use the print scanner with WL.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
i bought it... but its pretty buggy. fingerprint has only worked once or twice.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] davewuvswaffles:
There are tons of themes to choose from. Im sure I've seen some gingerbread themes when I was browsing through.

And how much different is that from the stock fingerprint unlocking on the atrix lol?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
Mine always works on the stock locker. What i'm referring to is that it doesn't activate the fingerprint reader at all, and I am forced to use the screen unlock.

Also noticed that if you get the unlock code wrong, it takes you straight to the stock Lock screen. should I be disabling the stock lock screen? if I do, will that disable the scanner as well?

It's a good app and I like it for the customization, but it's too buggy on my phone as of now so I've disabled it until I can figure out either what I'm doing wrong or if it's a software issue.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
have you tried following my directions above D: .. worked fine for me X_x..
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Tennis11:
Just did this exactly how you wrote it. Didn't work... Still doesn't register while on WL screen.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
yep, tried it, didnt work :(
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Tennis11:
OK I figured it out. First set up prints like normal without WL enabled. Then just go in and enable it. This worked for me, and mine's looking really nice.

note: If you make any changes to WL screen, toggle WL enabled checkbox.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mpalatsi:
The beta link doesn't work for me... I'm a paying customer. Is there another way to get it?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
the latest in market has fingerprint scanner
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mpalatsi:
I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand how to set it up... Can you give me a few pointers?

Edit - Nevermind, I got it working.

Thank you
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bleuiko:
Is there anyway to get WL to trigger the unlock instead of wake when you press the power button? Now I have to press the power button to wake the phone, then hit back button to bring up unlock, then scan my finger...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lsxrx7:
how does this app work with the finger print thingy

i cannot figure it out

am i suppose to slide to unlock, then i get another lock screen tell me i need to swipe my finger ?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Tennis11:
Just scroll up...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Best01:
Has anyone had issues with not being able to pull down the notification bar while using finger print scan unlock mode
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mywax:
Yes I'm having the same issue. Have you reported to dev?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] kevin@TeslaCoil:
With Android 2.2, the notification bar is disabled (non-expandable), system wide, when lock screen security is active and not unlocked. This is true even if something like WidgetLocker is active.

To confuse matters a bit, there is a bug in Motorola's implementation of the pattern that causes the notification bar to be expandable in some cases when using pattern security. But the same isn't true for fingerprint or pin/password.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] trunkzz:
great little program, worth the purchase!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] fRenZy-_-:
Does this work better with the new ota update(beta)?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
still having tons of issues.

the print scanner works occasionally. I can't pinpoint what stops it from activating, but I can set it up and it will work fine for a few manual-off (by button) and on again. if i let the screen timeout, sometimes it will work. but if i come back to it a few hours later, it will no longer work.

also, if i use the pattern unlock and get the code wrong, WL closes and goes right back to the stock lock screen. i found that a little odd.

in all, i really really like the functionality and customizability of the app but if i can't get the fingerprint reader working 100% consistently, i just can't use it. is anyone else having the same problem with it?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] spineforu82:
Is anyone having issues were after some time you unlock the phone with widget locker (this is fingerprint, slide to unlock, and easy wake) any of that combo or just one of the other. That after the unlock toast notifications don't work and you cant do any typing in text, email, browser or even dialer?

I've had this happen numerous times to were i cant use widgetlocker. Without using it i have not had this happen once so it's definitely something WL is doing, just wondering if it has happened to anyone else?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bleuiko:
Anyone having issue with easy wake after the update? Mine works half the time and I can't really pinpoint the reason.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] BicolXpress:
How do i enable the fingerprint scanner in widget locker?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
am i the only one whose fingerprint locker only works like 1/8 of the time?? what gives?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] alex_herrero:
I installed today, a couple of hours ago. Removed all sliders, placed many widgets, and it's working 100%, wake with volume, scan finger, and that's it. I didn't even edited my previous security settings.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] kchasse:
I have the latest Atrix build 4.1.83, non rooted and I have the following issue:

It seems the new build does not initialize the reader until after WL is unlocked, so I have to unlock WL and then get to the Motorola lock screen. I see it saying Initializing scanner for a second and then it says to scan and then it works. I can never scan my finger from WL like I could in 4.1.57.

Is there a setting I can toggle or is this a code change or do I need to talk to Motorola (good luck to me on winning that argument).

Thanks in advance -- I love WidgetLocker!!!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] givver:
I am having the same problem. I have to slide the WL unlock slider or press the back button to bring up the Mororola lock screen before I can use the fingerprint scanner. If I try to scan my print on the WL screen then nothing happens.
