Thanks! This was one of the very few things that kept me from keeping 2.3.4! I think I'll install it again now that it looks like the fingerprint scanner will work.

Thanks! I was wondering how to make this thing work again...

[Q] LED Flash not working. Help!

LED flash does not work. I have reset the phone already but nothing. Any ideas??
BUMPY BUMP.
What exactly have you tried to conclude it is not working?

Well, I tried taking pictures with flash and nothing.
Hmm. Phone charged? There is no disabled hidden option somewhere? Well I am sure you already looked into these easy things, you are a senior member here
Hopefully some one with an SGS2 in hand can help you. It would suck to have to send it back to UK. I suggest you contact the seller soon, to get whatever authorization for return they require, before it is too late. You can meanwhile keep looking into the issue.
I've tried mine and 'Auto Flash' does not appear to be working - when the flash is set to 'On' it works fine on mine??
Anyone else apart from the two of us with this issue?

With auto flash the device only uses flash when it thinks it needs it....
Guess you figgered that out yourself also
Download a torch app from the market and try it to see if your led is ok, if so it must be a software problem.

Ok, you didn't mention it. I thought you did, but can't be sure here on the forum (not personal).
Must be some sensor failure i think.
Best still to check the obvious i guess ;-)
Surprised more people haven't mentioned it though

Has anyone tried it on the newest leaked ODIN rom?
I guess I will have to return it for an exchange. Man, that sucks tail!!! They're currently in back order.
Just downloaded the Vignette camera app and Auto Flash works.fine so its not the sensor.
Wonder if there's a bug in the standard camera app?

Just tried that. No luck. This is very frustrating. I may try flashing one of those firmwares from samfirmware.com
get the free tesla light app from the market (the icon looks like an energy saving light bulb)
It should work fully and instantly
Tesla won't work either. I wonder if it is hardware or software related problem. Is there a link for an unlocked SGS 2 stock ROM version to download?

Multitouch issue..

Oke guys, i think i have to make this thread. Bcz i read some threads and still found someone asking about their multitouch doesnt working.
The problem is about locksreen apps.
At least i found this issue while installing widgetlocker and milocker.
I tested by downloading one by one my apps from market and then check the multitouch, and stop when i installed widgetlocker bcz my multitouch doest works again. (It waste my time in about 3 hours)
So, if you had that multitouch issue you can test by uninstalling your lockscreen apps and then reboot. If it still doesnt works you can just ask to rom or kernel devs.
And for devs or smart people (im stupid one.. yeaaa) i hope you could find how to fix this issue, is unfortunate we cant improve our phone themes by install any lockscreen apps.
Terimakasih.

I had this issue with widget locker as well.
To fix it, open WidgetLocker and go into the settings>advanced and enable "Retain System Keyguard".
Lock your phone and unlock it. Now try a multitouch tester and it should work fine.

Oh yea it will work from then on. You just have to lock it once so the changes take effect.
had this issue as well.
For me is was caused by widget locker
Switched to GO locker and the same thing.
So now I use stock lock screen
Its also helped my battery

Yep I used this some time ago only problem is if you use widgets or app shortcuts on the lockscreen you will have to use the stock unlock after tapping them. Not a huge deal if you don't use any clickable widgets though.

Hi, I tried your solution but it doesn't seem to work with my HTC Desire S (Cyanogenmod 7.1) I put a custom slider and 2 widgets, is that the problem? Does it have something to do with disabling stock lock?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Use fingerprint reader as scroll?

Hi, I recently got a an atrix, and been changing roms like mad... in one of those roms, I dont remember which one (maybe one based on CM7?) the fingerprint reader worked as a scroll... I could enter the browser and scroll down just swiping my finger.
Now I have a mostly stock rom (GingerROM based on 2.3.6), but the fingerprint reader only works for unlock, and there is no way to configure it for something else...
Can I install something to make it work as a scroll?

Yep, go back to CM7. Pretty much your only option if you want fingerprint scrolling.

Are there any ways to use fingerprint as scroll for Stock based ROM. I wouldn't like use CM7 or CM9 because reboot or freeze error, I think stock based ROM is appropriate for daily use.

CM9 Fingerprint scanner

So apparently I'm unable to reply to Turl's thread directly because I haven't posted enough spam around the forums, as such I need to ask here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500535&highlight=camera&page=170
I'm running turl's CM9 v15 which notes that the fingerprint scanner works, I am able to set it up however I don't see the option for it to be added as a lock screen anywhere, is this just one of those options we'll have to wait for with an official release of ICS?
It does work, just not for the lockscreen yet. Yes, we will have to wait for Moto's official release.

Because CM7 is Gingerbread, and we do have an official Gingerbread release from Moto.

Android's lockscreen is open source, Moto's Fingerprint unlock is not. And GB's Fingerprint unlock does not work with ICS. Blame Motorola.

Yeah, heard anything like that. The know-how is not the sensor itself but the algorithm. I guessed that anybody made a similiar algorithm on its own for CM7. So thanks for clearing this.
Is a date known for ICS/JB Release!? Because i'm still on the 2.3.6 with webtop & fingerprint, making atrix different from the other phones..
It's still on schedule for Q3 which means anytime beween July to end-September. That is if they don't delay it.

1. Settings->Location & Security -> Change Screen Lock
Use Pin/ Password if fingerprint-reader fails to read your fp and choose:
2. Fingerprints -> Type no to no reuse your existing profile
again choose PIN if FP-Reader fails and try to resetup the fingerprint lock

Download a flashlight app (for example, torch, flashlight, etc.) If it does not work, your camera has an issue and needs replaced. If thats the case, buy a new atrix, the flex cable that the camera is on is hard to find.

Cameras for this phone aren't hard to find. Just go to that auction site and enter MB860 camera flex. Hundreds available and they are like 9 bucks. Also, teardown of the phone is available in the interwebs so anyone can do it easily.
