Am I the only one having problems with the Proximity Sensor on the Atrix? I can't seem to get it to kick in when on a call. I have already dial-toned a couple of people when talking on the phone. I have tried covering up the sensor by placing the palm of my hand over the to 1/2 of the phone and it never kicks in.
Can someone verify for me that it does work and not some software bug.
Thanks,
Ed
Did you ever find the problem? My proximity sensor has stopped working also.
i am having an issue with mine too. at first i thought it was an issue with the screen not coming back on, but now i realize that the proximity sensor is not turning off the screen at all and my screen is just turning off when the screen timeout value is reached.
my phone is rooted, i have used titanium backup to freeze some of the apps associated with blur, and i have installed the hack to use webtop mode. can others that have this issue confirm if they are running stock or modified software?

Any of you guys ever find a fix for this? I just noticed that mine is not working anymore either. It's rooted using aRoot but it was working for a while and now it doesn't anymore. I have another couple of days to exchange in store if I want to if it's a phone issue.
Crap, I'm having the same issue now too -- was working fine since I had it, but this occured just today, Day-2 of using 1.5.7 .... wonder if it's related ...

Reboot seems to fix this -- but annoying >_<
Is anyone that is having these issues using bluetooth? I have isolated mine to bluetooth and sent an issue report to Motorola.
same problem here but not using bluetooth
My wife's Atrix does the same thing. "dials or hangs up while in a call". She does not own a bluetooth headset and I have only connected a Motorola 305 one time to it. Reboot fixes the problem. Reboot seems to take forever when compared to my Dell Streak.

Hi I believe I traced the problem with the proximity sensor not working to Handcent SMS. On two separate Atrixes, as soon as I uninstalled Handcent and rebooted the phone the problem went away and stayed away. I have since installed GoSMS and now it happens just sometimes (usually after I install a new app) but a reboot after installing an app ususlly fixes it.
My Phone has a standard Telstra (Australia ROM) and is not unlocked or modified in any way.

If you are using unlocked bootloader or if u have unlocked the dim using a code then u will have to disable the In Pocket detection and then try sounds crazy but worked for me.

Similar issue
Just installed latest stable build onto my Atrix 4G, everything seemed fine last night, although I was using phone with bluetooth, this morning get a call, answer, screen goes dark, red proximity light comes on, and I can hear no sound, [later on the caller said he could hear me fine].
Phone would not wake up right off, and when it did it I still could not hear caller.
Been screwing around with settings all morning to no avail, discovered that the phone will only work with bluetooth device connected. without bluetooth the device goes dark, cannot wake up, have to hard reboot, with bluetooth and volume button awaken enabled, it performs normally, so possible connection to issues in post with proximity but with a bluetooth twist...

Hello everyone!
I just got a Evo View this week. I love this thing. I rooted it, but other than that it's pretty much stock. For some reason the Dock Mode app quits after a few seconds of working just dandy. Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks
A while ago I flashed Wolfbreak's 2.3.3 rom on my X10 and all seemed to work absolutely great. That is until I let the power on my phone run out. When I plugged it in and booted it up all the widgets and shortcuts on my homescreen (LauncherPro) were gone and replaced with 3 default ones. It has happened twice so far and suffice to say that it's a tad annoying. This doesn't seem to happen when I reboot the phone or if I turn it off myself.
Was just wondering if anyone ever experienced something like this and what you did to fix it? The apps in question aren't being saved to the SD card as far as I can tell, so that can't be it. Hope someone is able to help me out
So I'm running the leaked ICS rom on my Atrix 4G, it's working fine for me, but the Webtop isn't working. I plug the phone in the lap dock, and then screen will turn on and the phone will realized that its in a dock, but the screen will glitch. It will show the 'Welcome to Webtop 3.0' but the screen is glitches up. It'll zoom up very close, and the pictures will over lap each other. Is there a way to fix this? I like the rom very much, but the Webtop isn't working. Need help.
use Search... you can't use webtop with lapdock...

9hrs in here... Here's how I got it to work (Had 100% black screen also).
Downloaded to tablet, backed up app via Titan, uploaded backup to drop box, restored app from drop box via Titan to phone, presto, Works great.

Damn! I dont have a tablet or any other android device
I fixed it. Looks like the issue was because of Xposed. If you disable Xposed Framework, it works
