So, my dad and i both have the Atrix. However his is the one with the problem. There are times when he connects the wifi then both the wifi bars and phone signal bars go white and he cant access the internet at all. However if he turns off wifi the phone signal bars turn blue and he can access the internet. This happens to him in a couple of places one of them being our home. It happens to him whilst I can be doing the same thing and all my bars are blue. What could be happening?

Areet,
I've searched all over and cannot find any info on this problem. My WiFi icon only ever shows one bar, even when my phone is literally sitting ontop of my router. It's the same on the six other routers I have connected it to. I get great signal strength and data speed, but the icon never shows more that the one bar.
Anyone else got this problem?
Cheers,
BS...

I'm having an issue that has been bothering me. I run Etrade Pro with streaming data and charts, and when I leave my home, it does not automatically cut the wifi and switch to LTE or 4g. My app stops and says there is no data. This has happened a lot and I wonder if there are some settings that need to assure that mt cell signal automatically kicks in when Wifi cuts out.
ANother problem is that if I approach an area where there is wifi, the phone connects, and i usually get a data issue again.
I also got the same problem when i stream a video while on wifi and then leave the wifi zone, so I know it is not an Etrade app specific problem,
Any advice would be appreciated. What I am having to do is manually shut off wifi and then restart the app when the 4g kicks in, and I know the phone is designed to handle this for me.

I'm not sure this is something we have control over, I was reading over a white paper qualcomm wrote on the matter: http://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/3g-wifi-seamless-offload.pdf
Our phone is 3GPP R8 however, I'm not sure at&t's network supports dual stack mobile IP, so therefor the handoff between wifi and 3g would have to interrupt data.
WHat bothers me is that I just came from an Iphone4 and the iPhone switched from wifi to cell, and my Etrade App kept running. There may have been a momentary lag, but i didn't have to close the app and start it again.
Let me look into it more when I get home. At work youtube is blocked on the company network so I can't test if a video continues between handover here.
WHen I leave my home and know that I am out of wifi range, I still see the wifi symbol on the home screen but it looks like there are no bars of strength. It's like the thing is still trying to draw data through wifi that is well out of range.
Frustrating.

So if the wifi symbol is on the status bar that means the phone is still connected to the wifi (or at least thinks it is).
I was not able to reproduce your problem with youtube when I was home. I started a video on wifi in my home, and then walked out the front door and down the hall until it lost the connection, the wifi symbol disappeared and it just had to re-buffer a little bit after it switched to LTE then the video continued.
Im currently running latest paranoidandroid ROM and it seems that several times a day my signal and data goes color grey, while im in this status, i cannot receive any whatsapp or any connection whatsoever, i can receive calls tho.
Any idea how can i fix this ?
PD: same thing happened with latest rootbox ROM
I've noticed the same on multiple ROMs. It will be grey for a second or two then turn blue. I assumed it just meant it was in the process of connecting (e.g. wifi authorizing etc).
If for example I am connecting to a hotspot at Starbucks, I can connect to the wifi and the wifi bars will be grey. Then once I "login" to the Starbucks wifi where you agree to the terms and conditions, it gives you full internet access. That's when my bars turn blue.
It might be similar to the "limited connectivity" you get in Windows, connected to the network but with no internet access.
Though I might be completely wrong

Well yeah, actually, in my case, this does not only happen when connecting to wifi, it does happen at random times of the day. This is kind of annoying cause i lose data conectivity for a while and am unable to receive any kind of internet-related notification. :S
Anyone ?
My signal and Wi-Fi bars turn blue only when they're full. If i lose one bar they will turn grey. I lost Wi-Fi connectivity when I put to sleep my phone and fixed it by changing the keep connected while suspended in the advanced settings.
On all of the jb roms that I flash I have this problem where my network will periodically stop working, wifi works fine when it happens its just the cellular network, i get no bars for about 30 seconds its driving me crazy
I connect to my WiFi network at home, and just to note, i cannot connect to it unless i am very close to it (within 2m) and when i move away, it still stays connected, but once i get to 2 out of 4 bars of connection strength, i can no longer recieve data, but it displays that i still have 2 bars. ( i mean that I cannot access any webpages or apps that require internet) In short the internet will only work if i am directly beside the router, and that is a problem. I am runnin Epinter's CM10 October 29th build. Does anyone know why and what i can do ?

It could be a setting in Wireless/wifi that stops device using wifi when it thinks the signal is weak. Have a look at that. If not that, have you looked at your router? Location ect
