Need some input please.
Bought 2 Vibrant phones - wife's is HW locked.
I installed (flashed) the Camera and GPS roms on her phone. Its rooted and I removed the OCLF.
I dont trust the OTA update with her phone. My thought was to flash the new Bionix rom.
This should keep her phone from receiving the OTA update correct?
also
Compared to the other (camera / GPS) roms Ive flashed how dangerous do you think the Bionix rom would be? Last thing I need is a soft brick.
btw - I flashed the GPS / Camera before I learned of the HW lock
There is a hw lock fix available, I'd do that if I were you first.

I, unfortately, didn't know of the HW Lock fix either and now have a really expensive paper weight while I wait for a replacement to ship.

(Video of my Vibrant's boot screen)
Help? It's just a bit annoying, does anbody know how to get rid of it? It'd be greatly appreciated thanks!
Long story short, I used the Odin program for the captivate on accdident, but I found the Odin program for the Vibrant and got it back to stock. But I still have the AT&T Start Screen.
I unfortunately did the same thing some time back. Everything works fine it's just annoying. Would love to find out how to fix this...

bump in hopes for answers.
I had something similar to this when I flashed Eugene's Vibrantfroyo R3 and instead of the AT&T one I had the GT-I9000.. but when I downgraded back to FranklinTwiz.. it went back to normal.
You could try flashing a variation of Froyo that doesn't brick and see if that helps?

Note: Be sure to have a 2.1 KERNEL on your sd card, flash the 2.1 kernel before downgrading back to 2.1 otherwise a brick will possibly occur.
the OTA update solves the issue!! I'm back to normal after my update!!

That sounds promising! Will have to give it a try. *Hope it works*
FYI, The method above about installing the Froyo build did not work for me. It did chage how the startup screen looked, but not the initial boot screens. Back to the drawing board...

Thanks! Was driving me nuts!
So, recently, my touch screen has been pretty wonky. Sometimes it doesnt work at all and even pulling the battery and booting it back up doesn't fix it. Sometimes when it locks The screen isn't responsive afterwards to unlock but then locking and waking the screen again fixes it. Just wondering if there is a fix for this or if anyone else has had these same problems. I've trued full CWM wipes and Fastboot wipes and also tried different ROMs. Any help would be cool but if not I may just have to ditch the MAtrix for a different phone until my upgrade.
What is your phone currently running at the moment?

I got the same issue, when charging my Atrix, touchscreen won't work.
I'm running CM9 alpha6 by Jokersax
For those having issues while charging, make sure you are using a motorola charger. Please give results back.

So, I've been using the Wet Dream blur ROM for the past week and it's acting about the same way. I haven't had to go to the extreme of wiping it yet while on Wet but unresponsiveness is still a problem here and there.
EDIT: I haven't had touch capability since the 10th. I've tried flashing a couple other ROMs to no avail and don't really know what to do at this point.
Is a warranty claim even possible or would it just be a futile effort?
EDIT II: Sent it in on a warranty claim. We will see what happens I suppose. If not, I'm going GSII
EDIT The Third: Well, after fruitcake back to stock I sent it in and they fixed it all up and sent it back to me. So, that's that for what it's worth. Like the sig says my MAtrix got stolen so I'm on to the GSII forums but I'm definitely going to keep up with what's going on with Atrix.
Hi guys,
After the getting the latest update ( 4.5.141) from at&t installed my phones wifi restarts by itself for every 10 minutes. I am pretty much worried about this, it was not there before, it annoying when it shutsdown and starts again by itself.

When I got that update back in February, my issue was that it would "cycle" both WiFi and cellular data connections every 5-10 minutes whenever WiFi was enabled - whether connected to an AP or not.
I tried to get help from AT&T and Motorola but they were both useless.
My solution was to unlock the bootloader and install CM7. I haven't looked back since!

As pre4speed already said, yes and yes. I'll just add that those were 2 of my concerns before making the move. But I've been tickled with the new rom.
Now I'm just pondering when I should start trying out CM9.

I've been playing with the different variants of cm9 and the biggest thing holding me back has been the video camera recording and finger unlock. Well I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580449 last night and it has a video recorder you can choose in aroma! All without the use of official moto drivers. Our developers are so awesome, we may just have the finer unlock before official release. Its worth trying to see which flavor ics you like.

I install MIUI 2.5.25 and there is wifi bug it doesn't want turn on
Hello,
I'm going nuts trying to figure out how to fix my Atrix 4G (AT&T).
I Rooted > Unlocked my Atrix and installed the Touch version of CWM and flashed CM9 and it all seemed perfect.
However it seems all the WiFi drivers are gone.
Trying to turn on WiFi simply makes my Atrix reboot. Trying to use some WiFi tethering tools give back a 'no Wpa supplicant' error.
The phone works perfectly except for the fact it has zero WiFi capability now.
I flashed other ROMs like MIUI, and AOKP to no avail, same issue, no wifi.
I flashed the Stock ATT ROM via a fruitcake thinking it will 'reinstall' my wifi drivers but i was mistaken.
Anyone have any ideas how to get WiFi drivers installed again? Why wouldnt the ROMs have that already?
Bit confused and would appreciate any help.

Bluetooth also doesnt work and causes a reboot too if I attempt to turn it on.
In that case, your wifi/bt chip is likely burnt. Sorry.
There's no fix, this is a hardware problem.

Another moderator? When were you appointed? Next time just 'report' and move on.
Please can anyone tell me what to do? this is my second LG optimus g and they both stutter randomly when bringing them out of sleep mode and them sometimes flat out power down while in my pocket. I have deleted all programs I could think of and have both rebooted, reset To factory on both units and it still happens like once every 7 Or so times I wake the phone from sleep. What do I do please?
Is the phone on stock untouched? Rooted? Custom ROM? N4 conversion? Details would help us solve your problem.

Completely untouched. Stock straight from the box
Did you perform the OTA? I'm not exactly sure but I heard that it fixes the sleep of death.
Sent from my LG Optimus G
first thing first, get a battery monitor app like betterbatterystat so you know the type of process that is causing the drain - app, kernel etc...once you have that information, drill down from there.

Sleep of death...that's the name. Thanks I couldn't remember what they called it. Yes guys the sleep of death is what I hhave.
Now let me get this right. This is not happening to none of your phones (non rooted)?
Second, not that I'm not grateful and all but why would a OTA work when this is my second phone in a row brand new from stock that all of sudden starts to do the same thing out of the blue? Also my phones says I have the latest version. E97010o
And as far as apps it not a app memory issue. I eliminated all possible apps I have downloaded. It never happens in use only When I try to bring it out of sleep.

Latest software version is E97011c. You should root and go with a custom ROM. You'll get better battery life and less issues with Slick ROM or SnowJB.

You should still root and go custom. You'll have much more control over your phone. This means you can remove all the AT&T bloat and install tools that help you configure settings that help you control/monitor performance.

Ok I'm game. But I don't know how or What Rom to install. I want to use my phone just like it is without the sod and maybe jelly bean. But I hear Roms aren't stable and there are bugs and things that they don't due that were there before (use of WiFi,NFC,compasitive buttons use) . What software do I use (I tried one that didn't work. .got the drivers and loaded root soft from admin and it still didn't work). What is the perfect Rom? What is the easiest why to do this?

Flash Snow JB. Do a full wipe INCLUDING internal storage before flashing, though. I've had absolutely no issues on Snow JB.
