I am having issues since the phone was updated from Froyo to Gingerbread. The Atrix is rooted and using Go Launcher. The phone worked great under Froyo not a problem once I updated to Gingerbread I am getting the following issues listed below.
1. Screen will randomly freeze nothing will work unless I select he power button and then wait a couple of seconds it will start working again.
2. The keyboard will randomly display the letter q when I am typing in any text field
I have tried wiping the phone twice which including going into recovery mode and wiping cache as well as doing a full reset. Everything will be fine and then it will start again. I then decided to google up Gingerbread Freezing phone thru google and it seems like everybody is having this issue since the update went through. The posts include the atrix, droid nexus and other android phones. My question is what could be causing these glitches when the phone was working perfectly the day before the update. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks Again
I've got this exact same issue to. There is no way it can be a hardware issue, if I rotate the screen, the area where there are screen ghost touches moves to the same relative place. It doesn't appear to be an uncommon problem either.
Go to the market and try SGS Touchscreen Booster.
Go for Super Optimized setting.
I had the same issue but this app fixed it for me. I have posted a couple of times about it so just check the threads I have contributed to on my profile for more info.

Freezing and Lagging
I downloaded touchscreen app and I have to admit it does help I still get the semi freeze now and then but not as bad. I am still upset that we have to resort to this I need an expert on XDA to tell me why this is happening to all types of android phones. Thanks Again for all your responses

Freezing Gingerbread
I tried everything and nothing worked I finally had a replacement sent and now I have another problem I have border banding within the screen sent another one back and had the same thing. I am now awaiting my 4th Atrix and I am guessing there will be more problems. I had every Iphone prior to this Android phone and never had a problem with a phone. The quality is lacking compared to apple. Thanks

Oh man that's not good. I'm thinking of sending mine in for warranty but I'm afraid of other problems. I never had a problem until this whole touchscreen issue....which we are blaming on gingerbread right? So this should be fixable...
So does the replacement have touchscreen issues and was it shipped to u in gingerbread ?

Replacment of Freezing Phone
I received the replacement and so far it has not had the issues of lag and freeze but now I have border banding on both replacement phones and I am now awaiting my 4th atrix. I am actually getting tired of this I love the phone when it works but the quality of android phones is not up to par with the Iphone. I appreciate the open source of android but the phones from motorola, HTC etc are just mass produced with no quality there is not phone everyday and what happens unlike apple they refuse to support any phone thats older than three months

Forgot yes it had gingerbread installed which I heard is also causing the border banding issue.

I restored three times full wipes and same thing its a faulty issue with gingerbread either consuming to much of the cpu or heavy ram cycles. Thanks

Have you guys tried the "PDS partition" fix? Basically, flashing could corrupt a file or 2 in there, causing keyboard problems. Very common in people with unlocked bootloaders (so they flash more than people who are locked).

"Edit 2: people...try doing a factory reset...twice!"
Did this worked for you? im also having that issue with the touch screen, i have done Pds partition, flashed several roms, wipes, etc. And now for art of magic it does not do the freeze glitch touch screen thing that often, but sometimes it does it but not for too long.
I read from the web that is a Sync internet problem, like consuming cpu or some thing causing that glitches freezes. Still waiting for final fix or workaround :/.
Like previous users this problem happens to me even navigating throu screens moving around, also in the keyboard (wich now i replaced with smart keyboard pro original from the market) this keyboard seems to helped not to have that glitches so often dont know im just saying.
No answears : ( i tried freezing motoblur process some of them, and those freezes of the touch screen were reduced but not eliminated.
Just a small observation
I am the person who suffered the most from this intermittent issue.
After my intensive testing and tracking I have came to a conclusion!!
I'm on CM7. Not sure if this would help.
I guess the issue is caused because of the light sensor. Somehow, when I disabled the automatic backlight settings this has improved a lot!!!!
Try disabling automatic backlight (even if you are not on CM7) and let me know if this have helped.
simialar issue
Have experienced the letter q being ghist hit while typing on Atrix 4G. My big issue is with the phone randomly power cycling on its own, ever since a March update I believe. I have sent the phone in to Motorola twice, both times received it back doing the same thing. They have sent me a new battery to rule that out, that did not work either. Now they have sent me a new "refurb" hand set, an hour and twenty minutes after turning it on it power cycled. The Atrix, as much as I loved it, is driving me crazy at this point. Motorola are now offering to change it for the Atrix 2. Anybody have any idea what could be causing the random power cycle issue?

My atrix seems to have a problem with the touch screen on the top portion of the phone when I'm in portrait mode. For example, when I go into settings, I can't seem to click on wireless network settings.
I thought it may have been a problem with an app I had installed, so I turned on advanced task killer, but I couldn't click on kill all running apps since it's in that non functioning top portion of my screen. Lol
Now I'm here on the xda app and I couldnt click on the top portion to go to my favorite threads.
Obviously I've already done a power cycle a couple times. Sometimes it fixes it, but it doesn't fix it for long as the problem seems to randomly come back...
I'm considering doing a factory reset, but I'm rooted with designgears aroot script. I already thawed all the apps I've froze. Would it be OK to factory reset from there?
If anyone has any suggestions aside from doing a factory reset, it will be very much appreciated!

Same thing here. Sometimes the widgets i have at the top of the screen won't respond when touched. Also my screen shifts back and forth on its own in portrait mode, kind of jiggles like the phone is being shaken. I unrooted, did a factory reset and still no joy. I'm going to flash the retail SBF tonight and see if that clears it up. If not back AT&T for a replacement or the HTC Inspire. (I'm still in my 30 day window)
I have the same problem.. I have done a hard reset, but it doesn't seem to fix it
I will try to flash DG's retail SBF today.
flashing the device didn't fix the issue
I ended up getting mine exchanged. Its strange that it only started to happen randomly.

Might want to double check and post in this thread: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/362154/
Thanks, Reuben. I'm sorry to see that people are having this problem. I have the same problem but from the bottom of my touch screen. We've identified that when this happens, it's because the Internal SD was partitioned. Not sure what's causing the issue with the top of the screen for users though.
I sure hope a fix is rolled out. Many people have imported their Atrix's and it's hell trying to exchange it. I'd rather be able to just fix it!
This happened to my first atrix: bought the day after realease, problem developed withing 36 hours, I'd say.
At the time, I didn't think much of the issue (though it was simply unacceptable) and discounted mine as an inevitable lemon. Obviously, when I took it back (literally within 3 days of release) nobody had had this problem yet and the sales rep was baffled. Got an exchange and all is well now.
I believe it has something to do with a defective fingerprint reader that mucking with the screen, but I could be wrong.
Ultimately, my phone is fine now, haven't had a problem since the exchange. I would actually argue against it being a developing problem and, while it may take a couple days to manifest, more so an out of the box defect.
I'm glad I found this and it's not just me! I've had this phone a little over a week and it WAS running awesome but now not so much. I have more of the ghost finger or studder I've heard about. I found most of the issues texting and emailing or anything with typing. The rest of the time it works fine. Just really hard to respond quickly by any means.
It was running fine stock, then I rooted and it continued to run fine. Then over the last few days it's been a headache. I removed the root, still there, factory default, still there. It was even happening when I was trying to log into motoblur at the very beginning.
I'm going with a hardware issue and taking it in for replacement tomorrow.
Thanks.
It seems like you'll have to replace it, brother. No fix found yet.
Damn! I knew I should have returned it during my 30days... I was really under the impression that it was just something I did coz I didn't notice it when I first got it and went ahead and rooted it... tried almost everything too like everybody did but no luck
Do you think I'll still be able to exchange it? I got it like 2 months ago
Replaced mine yesterday and it is running great. The guy at AT&t said he has seen a few doing this.
Did you have to call the warranty service also or were you able to exhange it at the store coz in my case I had to call the warranty service and they're sending me a replacement in the mail with the prepaid packaging to send to my old one back
I just went in, he opened a new one swaped my sim card and I was off. Gave me a new receipt and done.

Hello. i've been having this problem in my atrix for about a month now. it seems to be hardware related but im outside USA. i could send it in with my gf to get it exchanged but i bought it on ebay.
should i contact motorolla for warranty or go to att to get it replaced?
(please provide a # or website for motorolla warranty if you know it)
I have same problem, hapened after 2 months of use, the top portion of the screen doesnt work, if im in portrait i cant scroll down the notification bar, only in landscape. And when in landscape i cant type the letter Q.
Really annoying, but i have to wait until september when i came back to USA.
Motorola Brazil dont honor the warranty from a Usa Atrix.
For everyone thats experiencing this Screen Issue with the Atrix, SGS Touchscreen Booster inthe Market Place will fix the issue. I have returned one Atrix already, and was close to throwing this one in the garbage. It makes me mad that Motorola has this issue and are not pushing a Software Fix. Can't wait until I can get Cyanogen on this beast!
**Update Sent my phone in to get repaired, they replaced the screen and reflashed it. Came back with the exact same issue. Very Frustrated!
My motorola atrix is a problem with the touch after I managed to release "root", you have to play lower down the keys to be hit from above, in addition to the menu buttons do not work, but half of it straight up works best, does anyone have any solution?
Perhaps a better bios reset, or a full format! hardware will be? or software?
Somebody help!

Any one know, where is ATRIX touch controller?
Twice now in the last 40 minutes since updating to ICS my screen has locked up in a browser and in a game and then restarted itself..... anyone else?
UPDATE:
- Short and sweet so you don't have to read through 30 pages.
- If your Prime has this problem either
A.) Return to store for refund or exchange and pray you get a newer unit without the different hardware/firmware version
B.) Call ASUS RMA it and pray they can finally get something right.
C.) Sit on your hands while you wait to see if ASUS can somehow figure out a magical firmware patch that will play nice with both older and newer Primes..... all the while getting frustrated with a prime that can be used as a paper weight.
I recommend A I found a new prime from HHGregg and it works just fine and I am finally happy again but still pissed at ASUS for this huge quality control blunder.
update 1/31
here is exactly the reason you do not want to rma to Asus.

Everything has been running great for me. Maybe try rebooting Prime for a fresh start up. might fix it. mine hasn't locked up or anything.
Mine is locking up non stop. I can't even boot to the home screen most of the time. And when it does it'll lock up after a bit and go into more boot loops

Constant locking and rebooting here. Never rooted.
I've done the factory wipe twice. Still doing it.
This time I wiped and didnt sync with my Google account in case its some data thats being restored thats causing it.
Ive had no problems until the update
I updated to ICS last night and it rebooted at least 6 times in 1 hour. Couldn't take it anymore. I've only had the tablet for a week with no issues before update..Hope Asus didn't release a bad update...that would suck.
Thinking about doing a full data wipe and factory reset. Has anyone already tried this?
Just did it again with no apps loaded or anything. Every 20 minutes or so
I loved this tablet until now. I'm so frustrated
Mine's working OK, a few FCs but no reboots or lockups.
I had made a separate post this AM on this topic; but i have the same issue.
not rooted
never had a reboot or issue till last nights update
it boots and loads, i get in for about 1-5 mins and then it locks up and freezes for 10 seconds and does a quick book loop, then repeat.. over and over.
i have so many apps and settings i am dreading a factory reset, since it hasn't worked for anyone else i will hold off..
any other ideas?

One clue I may have is that it only happens after the screen is unlocked.. if you leave the screen locked all day it won't reboot.
Once you unlock the screen its like a ticking time bomb. i've tried stopping all running services as well the second i unlock.
same here
same issue here
never rooted
never had issues
once upgraded constant reboots
also noticed google + force close every time.
i guess its not just 1 or 2 people....
hope asus will push another update soon

I can't seem to find a common thread among all of my experiments. I've wiped three times now (third time I got the message about upgrading and updating apps again, but it's still doing it), I've tried wiping and not using any Google accounts, I've tried using my Google account but not restoring, I've tried wiping data in all of my apps, I've tried killing all running services. I've removed my microSD card and it still happens. It also happened to me in all of the power modes. Actually, I haven't tried "power saver."
Seems to happen every 15-20 minutes, but I've also had it happen immediately after a reboot.
I wonder if it's due to the rumored overclock. I hope it's not a hardware issue.
Prior to the update I had zero issues with anything, including GPS or wifi.

Probably due to the update not wiping system. Hopefully when ASUS upload the zip to the support site, you'll be able to sort it out. Could be a few days till that happens though.

Hey guys.
I've noticed that occasionally Vlingo/Voice control pops up after a single-click of the home button. This happens a couple of times a day.
I was wondering if this could be a hardware or software error. My guess is that it has to be a software error because it happens so rarely and the button itself has quite the travel (I just don't feel it being pressed twice).
My question is has this problem happened to anyone else before? It's kind of driving me crazy.
I'm on stock rooted (with insecure kernel) BOKE3 (Android 2.3.3).
Thank you!
I think it's hardware related. I noticed it in CWM Recovery. Sometimes when i pushed Home once, phone acted like I was pushing it twice.
I have my GS2 for 2 months. It happened to me only twice.
Thanks for the reply. I don't have CWM recovery installed and the couple of times I've been in the stock one I haven't noticed anything. I guess time will tell if it's a hardware or software bug when ICS is finally (officially) released for SGS2.
Happen to me in cwm a couple times too...
Now i use POWER button...just to be sure i dont mess up the Sg2
can somebody fix this problem? it is annoying when I want my phone back to homescreen but the vlingo comes out...
I have the same problem, and it's definetly a hardware issue. My home button have gotten progressively worse, it have now reached a point where it now double clicks several times a day.

You know, I remembered that it all started when I had the "bright" idea to format the /cache from the stock recovery. I just formatted it to see if it will fix itself. Already the stock launcher's animations are back (I never realized they were gone), hopefully this fixed the problem, otherwise off it goes to Samsung for service.
This happens to me all the time and it drives me crazy... I hate that goddamned thing... `what would you like to do` how about shut the hell up.
I suppose if you root it can be uninstalled
i think i have the solution , will post a video on youtube in few hours.
I had same issue with LPB ICS, then i flashed again, wipe data, cache etc, even deleted battery log/stats, and now everything is perfect..
This is not HW issue afaik..
Same for me. It's especially annoying if you're sitting in a course and the media sound isn't muted.
For me it seems to be a hardware problem, too. Because after I had replaced my S2 it just happend once in 2 month. Before it happend several times a day.

Can't we just make a warranty claim? Or are they just going to come back with "could not reproduce problem" since it only occurs 2-3 times a day?

Yup they do, and I had the same problem on the latest ICS leak. It also double clicked in CM7, but it's harder to notice there as it dont have Vlingo.
I guess you can make a warranty claim. I dont know your countries rules regarding this, but in Norway they must fix stuff like this even though the warranty dont apply/is expired.

The phone's warranty runs until the end of September 2013.
I just installed another original rom and it already popped up Vlingo once, I'm going to test it some more and report back.
Edit: Same problem, it's definitely hardware related.

Touchscreen issues - not responsive at all
Hello guys,
I have an Archos 101 G9 Turbo and have a huge problem.. The touchscreen became unresponsive and I cannot access the tablet at all. I tried to reboot it in recovery and forced a recalibration but it won't work at all. Sometimes, after "10" reboots, it is working for 5 min. sometimes 2 hours or more but than it suddenly stops again. The screen doesn't show some "ghost" activity it seems like the driver for the screen simply crashes or so. The system works normally, I can use my cellphone as a remote control but without that I wont be able to do anything with it.
When I reset the device it works for some time but sooner or later it will act up again.
I tried several Custom Firmwares but I switched back to the latest stock f. since the issue was persistent.
Does anyone have an idea what could cause this trouble?
I have also the same problem like you sometime works great sometimes catastrophic but sometime i have to push the device behind then works.

Screen calibration on it's own does not always solve the problem, I had a similar issue trying to unlock the screen.
I found recalibrating the accelerometer and then the screen solved the issue.

I have send a ticket to Archos and they offered me option to sent tablet back and get a new product (so they didn't offer servicing or maintenance) with "kind 25% off" for new tablet, which is bull****! I have used mostly stock rom, once rooted and the latest one is custom rom (because i belived it is maybe up to rom) but problem still persist. After rom update/re-install everything works fine for a day or two and then problems emerge again. Does anyone have any clue what it might be?

I have downgraded & installed Stock ROM 4.0.26 as I feel 4.0.28 is the culprit. Its been 2 days since I did this and so far so good - no issues
I really dont know what to do...my G9 has become useless, screen does not work at all. This morning i have installed Clean_slim&Fast v.0.1 rom, tablet worked fine for a minute or so until i tried to clean screen...moment after it became unresponsive. I have contacted Archos before, they offered me new replacement tablet with 25% off, no repair option at all. I must say that i'm really disappointed with this brand, primarily with support they offer. Never again Archos .
Yep, they change it. It happened to me too but before the the warranty expired.Less than one week and I had a new tablet.
When I looked around for a solution I noticed many complained about this and it seems it was a very common issue.
Anyway, I'd like to help cos there could be a sort of solution, it worked for me, and I can tell you if you contact me.

I wanna remind you that despite Archos offers a one year warranty, after its expiration date, you still have 2 months to report the issue and get a new tablet. You are covered for 14 months (at least in Europe that's the law).
I found a solution...so far i always had installed ES Task manager and used it for clearing cache, killing task, etc...well, i uninstalled it and now tablet works fine. Strange but true.

I own two different RAZR phones and recently they both have started doing something very strange. I will turn on the phone and notice that the screen starts to do a stutter when actions are taken (button push, screen swipe, etc.) After a little bit or a reboot the phone usually returns to normal. After a little while longer I see this happen again. I find it odd that two different phones started displaying this behavior around the same time which makes me think that it might be software related as opposed to hardware going bad in both phones at the same time.
Anyone ever see this behavior? Anyone have any thoughts?
Here is a link to a short video I made of the stutter so you can see exactly what I am talking about (sorry about the wrong orientation):

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried a Factory Reset to see if it may be some app you have installed that is causing the problem?

Not yet, but I am getting to that point. I wanted to ask on here to see if anyone else had seen this and figured it out first.
I use sony xperia p...
I also have the prob while installing/uninstalling any app...
It wasn't on GB...Using ICS now...it's a software problem

I used to have a similar problem after the ics update. It happened when I was reading news on flipboard. After I uninstalled it everything was ok. It got me freaking out, though

I think I got rid of the issue for now. I ended up looking at the most recently updated software and removing a couple of them that were not used much anymore and neither phone has experienced the issue since. Must be some sort of update that came along and caused an issue (maybe in conjunction with other software) and the OS. Strange...
Glad to know that it is not a hardware issue.

I'm having the same issues, its worse when I'm using the browser and keyboard. It acts like I'm touching the screen where I'm not. I have heard about golocker possibly causing the problem. Are you using a different locker or launcher? I found rebooting and wiping the cache help a little but it only seems temporary.

I don't think it is limited to a problem caused by one application. I think that is might be a combination of apps and how they interact with each other and the OS. I uninstalled about 5 recently updated apps that I did not need and managed to get rid of the issue on both my phones. I think some of them I got rid of were (Avast (Changed this to Vipre...personally was going to do this anyway), Lux, GSam Battery, etc.) Do I think there are problems specifically with one of these programs? No. They are all good programs. BUT, once I started seeing issues they were on the top of the most recently updated list and I decided to start there.
I use Titanium Backup and it has a list of apps that you can sort by the most recently updated and this is how I decided what apps I should look at to try to alleviate my issues. I knew the day that issues started and that gave me some clues as to where to start looking. It worked for me, but it might not have as good results for everyone.
Hope this helps!
Try this screen calibration app from play store

Seems to improve the touch screens for my Galaxy Tab and Razr. Could be placebo though. A lot of positive results and comments from users of different devices.
my screen stutters in a similar manner, but only when running Google play music, plugged into a logitech speaker using the headphone jack. didn't happen on gb. Also tried a custom rom - DROID HD and the same thing happened, but not quite as bad.
