Hello all, I am not sure if any one has mantioned this or not. I looked thru the whole Atrix forum and could not find anything. I just got the Atrix about a week ago. I noticed that after using the data for couple of hours (Streaming music) it disconnects and I dont have access to data till I power off for a while and power on again. it is the same story every time I use data for 1 or 2 hours. replaced the phone once already including the SIM card and still the same thing. Any one having the same problem? Please reply. Thanks.
Am I in the right forum? If not, please forgive me, let me know and point me to the right direction? Thanks.
So you lose data completely? No h, e, 3g? Just bars? I had a similar issue on my captivate if I drove around listening to Pandora sometimes it would randomly stop playing till I went to the next song.

Well, I see the H+, but the little arrows (TX/RX) right underneath it disappear and I have no data connection and all this is happening while I'm in the same spot (In my room or at work at my desk). Also a window pops out saying Network Error. Also, I never see E or 3g. It is always H+ even when there is only 1 bar. Is that normal? Here is a picture of it. It just did it to me. Now i have no data connection unless I power down for a while. Here is another Pic. If you notice, there are no Arrows under H+.

It happens to me on data only without wifi on or off. I was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else. I guess no one used the data long enough to see this problem. It looks like this is a Motorola problem and I will have to return the device. Don't want to but don't want to keep a defective device.

Check your Battery Manager -> Battery mode setting. I think by default it's set to Nighttime sleep, which (in theory) shouldn't affect any music streaming or sync apps until night time, but it's possible that the profile is wonky. Try using the performance option or the custom (even though custom warns you of this very same issue).
This issue finally happened to me today.
I think it had to do with Extended Controls widget not correctly enabling/disabling the data apn.
In settings everything was right but I could not get the network even though it was showing the H+.

Hello.
Thanks for replying. I tried the battery manager, I changed to performance and that didn't help. Within 5 minutes I was disconnected.

Hi. If you keep using the data nonstop, you will see that it will happen to you more often. I read some where in a forum that Motorola is having some kind of a power management problem on these devices (Atrix4G & Bionic) where it over heats and effects the RF radio and Motorola is denying it. I am not sure how much of it is true. I can not find that article.
Here. I fond it. Every one, read this.
http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...-suffering-unfixable-power-problems-20110126/
Hey all, Guess what I just found out. After talking to few AT&T tech support about the problem I am having with the device, they transferred me to Motorola tech support. Guess what they told me. The Motorola Atrix 4G is not a 3G device. It is only strictly 4G device. WOW. That sucks. I thought this was E, H & H+ device. That is not what I was told in the AT&T corp. store when I went to purchase it. I was told that it is a 3g/4G device and if there is no 4G network it will drop down to 3G. But I don't think that is the problem. The device is defective. Just now I power off and power back on and it is working fine so far and I don't think we have 4G network in my area.
Update: 03/11/2011 02:13PM PST PDT
Hello all. I am just doing an update. I went and replaced the device one more time (3rd device, 4th SIM card) and it is still the same. It keeps disconnecting from Data every 1 hour or so. I finally called Motorola tech support. The first level tech support could not help me, so he transferred me to second level tech support. The second level tech support told me that they are going to try it on their own devices that they have and call me back the next day. So they did. She called me back the next day and told me that they could not duplicate the problem (of course). So she said she is not going to let it go, she is going to sent it to the engineers to see if they can find out what the problem is and she is going to call me back on Monday 03/14/2011. If they still have no solution for this, I’m going to return the device and reverse my upgrade. It is just a shame that Motorola (being the first in communications) has to get beaten by other Competitors.
any update on the issue? im starting to have the same problem with my atrix.
Unfortunately, this seems to be happening to quite a few people. There's a longer thread on it here:

Nope. Even Motorola Level 2 & 3 Tech support could not resolve the problem. They wanted me to sent the device to them for more trouble shooting. I finally returned the device and reverse my upgrade. I suggest you do the same if haven't past the 30 days.

It also depends on the availability of wireless networks in your area. Try enabling your wifi as well. Google has a database of WiFi AP MAC addresses and the corresponding location. Kinda awesome, kinda freaky. Here in South Africa the list isn't too spot on, but it will atleast get you into the correct suburb (must say, I have only tested this in a very small town). Worth a try

I can't think of anything else. I have very good 3G coverage and 500MB data plan. Maybe there is a problem with your network coverage, but that's strange because what ever the coverage quality is phone just needs a couple of KBs for a fix.
Maybe this will help!
You can look at this thread...

First of all, Android is an operating system and Nokia is a brand. Second, On Android you can set the phone not to use network data for GPS which will greatly increase the time needed for GPS fix. Nokia works exactly the same way, if A-GPS is turned on you get a quick fix, if it's off you don't. My Ace works perfectly and gets a quick fix. Oh, and I almost forgot, Nokia is crap. .I.
first of all.. .thx for the reply so much...
fyi, i didnt turn on network data for gps, i am only using gps alone to get my position, although it do get locked after few minutes... but the tftt is too long..
my frd using nokia 5800, he was able to get lock within 10secs w/o network..
thats the reason i am wondering how can i get faster lock..
may i ask how can i turn on the A-gps? i update it quite frequently using gps status..
is that means i have ady turn it on?
thx!
Well I've noticed when I make a phone call my phone switches to 2g, and takes forever to switch back to 3g, I didn't have this problem till I updated to the latest Motorola photon software. Sun 154_6. But when I was on sun 154_5, I didn't have this issue. Also I restored the phone twice already and tried to avoid the update, but i became tired of seeing the install update screen and I gave in, any ideas?

when you make a phone call over cdma you dont have data. not 2g or 3g. the only way to is using a seperate radio (wifi/wimax)

ive noticed with the data saver and battery saver on, my data seems to do some funky things, but when they are both off/set to performance I dont have any issues.
Ok so I've had the Nokia Lumia for 2 weeks now and I've just had a text from my network saying that I have almost used all of my 500mb data allowance already, stunned I rang Talkmobile up to find out that the phone has been using 3mb of data every second nearly!
I've now turned off the mobile internet in the settings to prevent a huge bill!
I don't understand this as its my work phone, so only use if for incoming emails really,and I'm always connected via WIFI at work and at home, so it seems to me that when the phone locks the WIFI automatically switches off and then runs on mobile data.
There are no settings to rectify this either.
Please check your allowances as this has used 487mb in 12 days!!!!!!
P.S After looking online it appears that either there is a bug or it's just the phone, but it disconnects the Wifi to save battery, meaning that it will run off mobile data occurring huge data consumption!!
Any one else noticed this, as some of my colleagues have this phone and the are on Orange and haven't noticed massive allowances.
It's a known problem...There isn't priority when wifi is on...So 3g collection is on top at the same time..

Sorry for typo !!!
I never use Wifi and have a 1GB dataplan... I'm updating my apps, listen to mp3 streams, 3 email accounts, sometimes watching youtube videos, surfing the web, using live tiles... in short words i have a heavy data usage...
But never used more than 600-700Mb in 30 days...
There was/is a bug with specific mail accounts (think it was yahoo), I'm not sure if it is fixed... But 500Mb in 12 days seems to high to me...
BTW i like the fact that it's disconnects WiFi when locking the screen, else it would eat up my batteries in 4 hours...
Maybe MS should provide a option for active WiFi under the lock screen... but I
personally wouldn't use it...

THis is getting annoying..
I use a lot an app called whatsapp and i discovered that when i put the lockscreen the wifi go in standby too (also if the is no 3g where i live) and i dont recive any notification from whatsapp.
Once i reeneter the phone then i get all messages also back from 2 hours.
I cannot stay there every 5 minutes to check if a message arrives and with all my preovious android phone this wasnt a problem cause wifi was never off with lockscreen so i could still be in the world.
If this is a big issue i think this wp wont live much in my hands. 2 days i liked a lot but cant live with this ms decision..sort of nonsense, at least they should have putted an option where WE decide.

It appears the wifi remains connected when the power adaptor is plugged in and the phone is charging. Does anyone know whether it’s possible to trick the phone into thinking the power adaptor is still plugged in?

I found out that WiFi stays connected if you disable "data connection"...
I disabled data connection to save battery over night but had wifi enabled (with knowing it would disable automatically as soon as the phone locks) - but in the morging i had 6 new emails and an emtpy battery so wifi must have been on all night...
with the new ICS coming just around the corner, I have tried to do so research on it, but still do not know a couple of things, is it smoother, and there seem to be a wifi issue, sometimes I have to keep manually connecting to the wifi after unlocking the screen, will that still be an issue. I think for me that was one of the big issues sothey must have fixed it with the ICS update.
Wifi has not been resolved. I am fine when not hibernating but even with it set to stay on it always disconnects when the screen goes off or in the cradle. Sucks but nothing I lose sleep over.

The wifi issue is easily solved by downloading "Advanced Wifi Lock" from the market. Just install that and it's instantly fixed!

Issue hasn't been resolved YET. ICS has not been released and as far as I am aware 3.2.1r2 was the last update issued anywhere and the WiFi issue was only just starting to become apparent when that was pushed out. Give Sony a chance to work it out.
I was watching qvc this morning and they are selling a coby tablet that has ICS on it. Lol
I wish we can get it already.
The tablet s I bought here has no issue with the wifi problem mentioned.
Most of the times, I don't have that problem, but I think it's just the reconnection that is fast enough to not bother me.

Which firmware version are you on then?? Mine is THMAS0032400.
Here I am again, and mine also have the "never disconnect wifi" option selected and works ok. I put a big file copying from my lan, then the tab entered in the standby mode, and after a while I checked again and the file was copied, so no connection dropped in my case. And I also remembered that even in standby I hear the new emails notification and the green light starts blinking also, so no drops here.
Mine has THMAS0112400, 3.2.1 r2, kernel 2.6.36.3, Portuguese edition.
