Is there anyway on Gingerbread to go back to the Froyo bluetooth stack? Ever since the upgrade I have had problems losing connection to Sync in my F150 (Slacker). It is annoying. I have read on the Motorola forum that others are experience the same with headsets. Having to reconnect.
I am rooted an unlocked.
Any other ideas folks??
Thanks!
I'd like to see an answer on this as well. I'm using a Gingerbread Atrix 2.3.4 that I assume was an OTA update (no unlocked wording in the upper left when I boot). It's a great phone but the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable and all the research I've seen points to it being a Gingerbread issue.
My Atrix is rooted (thanks to all the helpful info here at XDA). I'd love to get this phone back to stock Froyo. What is the most safe way to do that?
Side note: AT&T branded phone but it is unlocked and in use on Straight Talk's network.

So I was using SC 2.2 or 2.4 and I've upgraded to 2.8 and I've noticed this issue across both ROMs....
Someone will call my actual cellphone number and my phone will not ring or notify me that I'm receiving a call at all, and the only way that I know I'm receiving a call at all is because I have it set up so my home phone will ring when it connects to my voicemail through google voice. Is this a common issue, and if so, how can I fix it? Its verrrrrrrry frustrating, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Do a full wipe between flashes?
what radio are you running? DI01/DJ05/DL09?
flash the latest radio(DL09)

dl09 isnt the latest radio. Flash the eb01 radio.
After extensively playing with the prl's and what not on this phone as well as the continuum, I've determined this to be a hardware/software problem on Samsungs part. I am running into this very issue and have been even prior to rooting the phone. Then again, I receive upwards of 30+ calls a day lol
Edit: Also, could be an issue with you just not having service where ever you were. I know it's no in my case, as I've tested...extensively.
Edit of another Edit: Plot thickens, it's just not happening on Sammy phones nor Verizon (Which I don't use anyways). After talking to some buddies who do the same thing as me, it appears it's happening across multiple carries and phones. T-Mobile non-4g phones appear to be reporting it the most.
Little help for the n00b?
I am a new convert to Android from iPhone, I purchased ATT's flagship model (Moto Atrix 4G) only to discover its all sorts of locked down. I carefully followed instructions, updated to 1.8.3, rooted with Gingerbreak, enabled sideloading and tethering APN with Glad enable, then used the CWM equivalent to flash Gingerblur 3.5. (I learn quick lol)
I noticed that after the install and reboot I had no APN's installed and was not connected to any data network, thus resulting in no data connectivity. I manually installed the APN settings provided here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=193
I am now getting errors such as "no response from the service" and slow connection speeds. 4G is available in my area but is spotty at best. Would a reflash of Gingerblur clear this up? or do i need to restore to stock .sbf and give it another go?
I too am missing APN's and the built in wi-fi hotspot doesn't turn on.
I believe this is an issue with Gingerblur 3.1 and 3.5.
I would recommend using GladEnabler to restore a custom APN

You could also check what radio setting your phone is using by going to the dialer and typing
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone information
Set preferred network type:
GSM/CDMA auto(PRL) I guess?
-ISSUE RESOLVED-
I realized after hours of trial and error that the issue went all the way back to the 1.8.3 .sbf I was using, once i restored to a retail 1.2.6 then updated OTA to get to 1.8.3 the issue was resolved. Even after all that I ended up taking my phone back to best buy and exchanging it for the new Samsung Infuse 4G. I upgraded from to the Atrix 4G from the Captivate (which I thoroughly LOVED!) but just couldn't get used to it, each phone is different even when it comes to the same models and my experience with the Atrix 4G can be described in one word...buggy, which is a shame since the Atrix 4G is probably the most powerful phone on the market right now... So I went back to my Galaxy S roots. Thanks for the help anyways, it is appreciated.
I just bought a used X10a today, Not my first android but my first rooted phone, (bought it rooted and unlocked. It is running 2.2.1) and there alot of issues and I just can't seem to find out what exactly I need to do so I can actually use this phone. First off it was originally a AT&T phone, I use Cincinnati Bell so the unlock is a must.
My first big issue is no matter what I am doing swiping through menus, screens, options you name it, it is laggy and jittery and half the time wont move just goes nuts for a few seconds.
The next issue is I can not for the life of me get 3g to work, edge works but no 3g. I used the exact apn settings as my other phone which is an unlocked tmobile and works fine but not on this one.
my last problem is I am missing tons of the factory installed apps, I do not mean the bloatware and irratating things that come on phones that arent needed, but things that I really need like a music app, the maps app, the email apps, all of that. All I have are the bare bones needed to run stuff, dialer, and messaging. That wouldnt be to big of a deal but nothing on the market will download it says download unsuccessful every time for any app, So i am not able to get all the things i am missing.
Also I do not know if it matters but I feel I need to mention it, The About Phone section on the phone says it is a x10i but the phone is actually an x10a so I do not know if that has anything to do with my problem but throwing it out there.
I really like this phone but I can't use it like this. What I need to do is either downgrade it to a rooted 2.1 so I have everything and it works or get a good 2.2 rom that will actually work. The problem is I have never rooted a phone so I do not know what steps to take let alone adjusting a phone that is already rooted.
So would it be possible for me to downgrade to a proven working 2.1 rom or is there a 2.2 rom for this phone that is proven to work and not cause all these issues I am having right now?
All help is greatly appreciated,
Cody
Cody,
CBW uses TMO's 3G infrastruacture (1700+2100 frequency bands). X10a is equipped with a radio that works on AT&T's 3G bands (850+1900) but not TMO's. X10a does not work on TMO's (therefore CBW's) 3G. It's a hardware issue. For 2G you won't have any problem. Therefore the fastest data speed you can get with X10a on CBW is EDGE. On the other hand, X10i should work on CBW 3G.
I would say that what it says on the "About Phone" section probably doesn't matter. I tried a tons of custom and stock ROMs available here with a variety of radio firmware but I haven't experienced any difficulty with AT&T. Then again you are trying to use X10a on TMO.

This should help you with some of your other problems. Rooting and flashing a ROM on X10 is very very easy, thanks to all the developers here who contributed.
With my phone already being rooted and flashed would I still do it just as if it was all stock?
My only other question is would a generic 2.1 rom still leave the phone unlocked for use with any sim?
Thanks, Cody
I'm not a tech but from what I understand and I did in the past, once SIM is unlocked, the phone will stay unlocked no matter what firmware you flash, including a generic 2.1 ROM.
Rooting and recovery are different. When you flash a stock SE 2.1 ROMs, you will lose root and recovery. That's where the flashtool comes in handy to get root and flash recovery again.
Just wondering if it is possible to update the baseband/firmware to 2.3 if my carrier is AT&T but i am in Japan for the next few weeks. Would not finding a signal freeze the phone somehow or would it still work with everything else, wifi/games/apps etc.?
Thanks
Shouldn't matter.
You can use the phone without data -- just use WiFi.
Flashing is done through your computer, not over the air.
Hey guys I'm on Homebase 4.1 ROM. Phone is unlocked and rooted, android version 2.3.4. I haven't been on these forums for a while since everything has been working great until now. I didn't miss not having 4G data due to being unlocked, but recently Sprint started working on upgraded their towers in my area. We lost 3G data connection for a while and this was supposed to be normal due to the upgrading going on. The problem is that the upgrade is over and everyone else in my family has 3G working again on their non rooted crappy phones, but my 3G never kicked back in. Before I factory reset everything and start messing around with different ROMS i just wanted to see if anybody could point me in the right direction on what I could do or what the problem might be?

try dialing *228 and see if that helps. also try dialing *#*#info#*#* in the dialer and go to phone information. scroll down to the drop down menu and trying putting it into EVDO only mode. see if it picks it up.
Did you have 3G on this rom before the upgrades? Some roms were having 3G problems over the last couple of weeks, but new versions have fixed it.
If that is not the issue then you can try ##DATA#

try to re flash ur rom again..hope it fix i think..
Fixed
It was definitely the first ROM i was using being broken. Moved to MOF locked version and everything works fine. 4G is nice too. Setting up all my home screens the way i like it again was a little tedious but oh well.
