Is your Atrix doing this too? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since I flashed the lastest update 1.8.3 I've had these problems ..first of all I like my phone as stock as possible I do however have root and sideload enable with a HDMI mod enable there are the problems I have.
-finger print scanner locks up to were I have to turn the phone off and on again
-vibration of all the buttons and keyboard suddenly stops working then back again
-I get more dropped calls while connected or not then any other smartphone I had (I had Motorola's in the past like the Q9h and phone quality was outstanding)
Is there anything I can do to fix these problems?

The fingerprint scanner is a pretty common problem..it's very finnicky for everybody.
I can't imagine why your vibe disappears..as long as the vibe hardware is still functional, i'd expect that problem to go away when we get gingerbread.
Unfortunately, I haven't had any problems with dropped calles, either. Call an ATT rep if it's a serious problem.
All in all, your problems are a variant of the software and this phone is about to receive a big software update, so I'd expect your experience to become smoother very soon.

I've had my atrix for almost a month now and only experienced the fingerprint scanner issue two or three times. Nothing else though. Try flashing the stock rom over again. Or just pull your battery one time.

Bluetooth Issue

I know there was a thread about this but i cant find it. My Bluetooth randomly disconnects while in a call or while streaming audio. I have 3 different headsets so i don't think it's specific to a headset. Any solution for this yet?

Must do better!
I had/have the same/other problems with BT. I experienced reboots when my Jawbone Icon or Prime dies or is disconnects. Also voicemail plays thru BT 2 out of 10 times. An incoming call is often lost when the same occurs while in another app. At least one reboot is necessary to get BT to play voicemail or switch headsets. I also have calls drop while on BT.

Build# 4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_6
Rooted the phone with shabby's OCR (thanks).
I took the phone to Sprint to exchange it. Hoping to determine if the handset was defective or the problem is system software. Long story short they offered to test it & order me a new phone if they could duplicate the problem. Thirty minutes later tech comes out & tells me BT worked fine for him. I insisted he call me, leave VM & play the same on his BT which happened to be a Jawbone ERA. It played for him once and not on subsequent attempts. He tried un/repairing, turning BT off etc. Then conceded to giving me a new Photon from stock rather than making me wait for one to be mailed. We successfully duplicated the VM issue on the new phone.
Twenty-four (24) hours later the new Photon has not had a BT related unexpected reboot. We'll see how long that lasts. However the dropped calls & VM issues are present.
There are threads regarding the issue on Motorola's forum & I have emailed support regarding the issue. I suggest you do to. They can't ignore numerous complaints. Their respone has been slow (3days) & less than stellar. Basically alot of bolier plate BS but they're "ready to help". I might have given the new Samsung Galaxy a try if not for that bogus 30 day guarantee.

RAZR bluetooth music issue

Hi,
I have the following problem with my Razr:
When i play the music over bluetooth it seems like i was using a old cd player without antiskip and hit him, is just a little jump but only happen on bluetooth, on headphones or speaker works great
Any idea of this issue? should i go a ask for warranty?
thanks
I get the same thing but it really seems to happen when I click something on the screen and the phone places the sound for clicking on an app or widget or something. Occasionally it'll happen randomly. Probably something that needs to get updated by Moto, I don't think it's anything wrong with your individual phone. Of course I have the Verizon Droid Razr but I'd imagine it's similar.

Yes i already went to my Cellphone dealer and that's what they told me, i'll wait until some fix get out.
A temporary solve for this issue is move all the music to the internal storage
Thanks for the help
I made more testing and it does not mater if you put the music on the internal or external memory the problem is the same we will need to wait for an update or custom rom without the problem
Thanks

same on my mw600.... I am experiencing dropouts during the playback... Its very annoying...
Same issues with my maxx on the latest update.
Haven't tried the wifi "off" option yet.
I use a satechi bluetooth fm transmitter.... the older one with the slide down front face and red digit display. Every other phone works great, even my bionic and SGN, and even slightly older phones.
Oddly I want to report the opposite, the Bluetooth on this works much better and has better range than my previous phone (Droid Incredible). Of course I've only tested it with a Samsung HM3700.
It fails with wifi off, does the every few second stop playing music, then start, then stop.... grrrrr

That's what I have.
droid razr bluetooth skip work around
I picked up a droid razr in feb 2012, and I the same skipping issue right out of the box. It only happend while playing through bluetooth. I found that mine skipped every time the data, 3g or 4g lte, sent or received. This happens randomly based on activity on the phone. I used an app called tasker to turn off my mobile data automatically, only when I was connected to bluetooth and my music app was running. This keeps it from skipping, but it prevents my from using pandora or streaming through google music. I've had many smart phones over the years and I have occasionally had this same issue with wifi, but never with 3g before. This leads me to believe that it's an issue with either with the hardware or software of this particular phone. Hopefully motorola fixes it. Hope this helps anyone out there with the same issue.

I need data on, hence the term streaming music
Can't remember if I flogged it here, but I opened 2 tickets with moto, they were closed with no reason, ugh.
Protocols match between devices, and one is even a Moto T505. I just hard wire in the car now.

Logitech bluetooth keyboard

this thing has so many problems that it's completely unusable! It times out its connection to my tablet after a few seconds. when I wake it back up it force closes whatever app I happen to be in. half the time it wont even wake up at all. It randomly repeats a typed letter, ad nauseum, during the brief intervals of "functionality."
I'm starting to get very skeptical about android. This is as bad as gtalk failing to send messages, which is another widespread fatal flaw that has gone completely unaddressed by Google.
The bluetooth implementation in android is BROKEN. SHATTERED. Extremely disappointing.
I've done a million searches seeking solutions to this problem and the internet is stone dumb on this issue. I want a workaround and I want it yesterday.
I'm using a Transformer tablet, but the same crappy issues are being had by my Xoom as well.
Unacceptable. Period.

I'm sorry to hear that, I've used bluetooth mice, keyboards and stereo headsets from the TF101 (not sure about other androids) and they work a treat! They pair like a dream and allow you to rename them (which is great as my headsets name is KC302).
If you want a device with a poor bluetooth implementation I'd look at iOS. Does logitech assert Android as an OS it supports? Have you even spoken to them or are you just ranting? Bluetooth is a pretty solid standard these days, usually its when devices try to implement stuff beyond the standard that things get buggy.
Have you tried other roms? Kernels? (using the same devices)
I have in fact spoken to logitech and they want to send me a replacement (which wont help anyone.) The device has android printed on it's backside so it should work without a hint of trouble. Not.
I have rooted a few devices in my time, but not the transformer. Is it easy yet?

Or.. It might help? I agree though, doesn't sound all that promising.
I believe that depending on your firmware, its easier than turning it on.
The Razorclaw method requires installing an app from a link, then clicking one button. Make sure you have a compatible system first, but then it takes about 38.4 seconds from downloading to being rooted.

i have the same prob sometimes i have audio sometimes i dont and i went from jellybam to stock and back to jellybam and still the problem is still there please help me
I know it's gonna sound weird but it might be your charging port.....now bear with me as I explain because Gf had same issue and now it's gone....in order to test to see if it IS the port do this...
Remove the upper rear panel to expose the dark clear panel underneath
Remove the dark plastic panel if at all possible to get to the usb port.
Now if you have an intermittent audio issue like my Gf did, call your phone and have it start ringing, now push down on the metal usb port. If it's the usb port shorting out etc, it should stop playing audio and it'll make a little static noise.
The way I fixed my Gf phone was to bend the port ever so slightly...be careful because it IS fragile...and it's bent away just enough to prevent any more audio cutting out and such...
I know it might be confusing to some...but hopefully it's clear enough for the more handy users and explains what might causing the audio issue...I just happened to used to repair phones and have the tools and assembly/disassembly knowledge...good luck and let me know if this helps anyone...

[Poll] Starting to hate the G2

Okay guys, this entire month I have been considering getting rid of my G2. Will try to keep the story short.
About 4 months ago, I sent my G2 (D802) to repair center. Issue was: at times, people could not hear me during calls. They ended up giving me a completely new G2 few months ago. This week alone, I have experienced at least 5 times where people could not hear me. Only workaround when this happens is to turn on speakers (however, everyone next to you will hear the conversation which it is not exactly great).
Getting sick of it. Calls. I repeat, CALLS I can not even make properly with this phone. Everytime I pick up the phone/call someone, I have to wonder if they will be able to hear me.
Currently I am on completely stock unrooted 20H KitKat, I have tried lollipop firmware but the issue remains. Happened on KitKat 20D too. There's a chance the issue is not on Jelly Bean but I have not tested that because I don't really want to be on JB.
I assume I am not the only one on this boat seeing as the issue is reported by a lot. Share thoughts, possible solutions, etc.
@eepyikes @vPro97 join the discussion.
What kind of cover do you use?
_____________________________________Read more write less and be smart
Are you covering your mic with your finger maybe?It happens easily on g2.
No cover is being used. Pretty darn sure I am not holding anything over the mic. But I'll pay more attention to that from now on.
Look at how many people have reported this issue...

I have the same 'hate' to the gps of this phone but..this phone is great all is working great and fast after 1y and 4m..only the gps is super weak.
had you think that maybe your signal/phone provider is to blame? if signal is weak you should try another sim card or another place

Nah. Changed provider about two months ago. Same same.
I have an issue when people are not able to hear me, and it always happens if i want my hands to be free and phone is held between my ears and shoulders(Maybe some issue with noise cancelling or misaligned microphone). Otherwise it just works fine.
This may help you....
If you have turn on "Ok Google "detection from any screen!
I have faced similar problems...I thought that was hardware issue but When I turn off that feature My G2 was back on form and now they can hear me properly
Or another way to get rid away of this **** is to try custom rom also......
i have that problem with ANY stock or stock-based rom..... which is why i got fed up and installed CM12 permanently...... the "ok google" detection thing didn't work for me.... i tried taping the top mic but then i ran into random issues where the mic fails if loudspeaker is on.... no such problems with CM...

I asked in one thread if CM/AOSP ROMs had the same issue. Never got the answer until now. Thank you. This is probably the only solution.
Personally, I usually prefer stock based ROMs but that is about to change.
Note: disabling "ok Google" to fix it is only a myth. It does not help. Tried that and so did many others.
Sent from my LG-D802
and to be honest because of this i hope CM doesn't get the 2nd mic working. lol
It's the Google now detection, open Google now, goto settings and turn off From any screen
Maybe there is some dust or some other stuff in the small holes where the mic is which is making your voice more quiet or almost completely mutes the sound you are trying to record.
You should try and DISABLE Voice enhancement at Settings>Networks>Call..
it helped my whatsapp voice messages to be played clearly
Have had 5 G2s for different reasons and never ran into a Mic problem.
Have even used various Roms from stock JB to KK to Optimus G3.
Am on Tmobile and used nothing but D801s.
All have been white.
Not sure if that helps
There's hope for you if you're able to sell and replace your phone with another used G2 in mint condition
My experience is, once you've done a repair and things look botched, change the phone.

Have you tried increasing the volume of the mic by editing the mixer_paths.xml.

I had the same problem after i've bought my G2 last year. Even asked in offical german LG forum but got no answer.
Solution for me was flashing custom kernel (dorimanx). Since that time i've alway been on custom rom (stock and aosp) and never had that problem again.
Wich rev do you have?
