Hi everyone
I'm new to this forum but i must first give you much credit for what xda-developers community is doing.
I have a problem with my atrix 4g and his led flashlights. They don't work and when i say "don't work" i mean that occasionally (when the sun is up and the moon is high ) they work for a few minutes.
I'm always in batery Performance mode. I'm using stock Gingerbread and my Atrix is from AT&T. I haven't rooted it or unlocked bootloader. When i download any of the suggested flashlight apps from Android market it again doesn't work (or to be specific, sometimes it blinks few times and then it turns out)
Any suggestions? I hope that's not the hardware problem ... i wasjust wondering if any of you guys had such a problem?
Thanks in advance
I'm using the free one from market. It works good (rooted Atrix)
Torch on CM7 works fine for me, before CM I used Droidlight.
Nexus torch
best app on the market for certain phones, very light weight and a widget.
tested and working on atrix
Unfortunatly non of this worked for me. I think my flashlight is broken. No other solutions. Thanks anyway

Looking for an app that uses the camera LED as a flashlight. There are tons of those for the desire and N1 but I can't seem to find one for the Legend.
legend has to be rooted before you can do that, theres a guide here on the forum to root your legend.
btw search before making and entire new post there was just one similar few days ago
nexus one torch works if your legend is rooted :b

Lamppu (LED Torch) works on rooted phones.
Is it even a good idea to use a LED as a flashlight? I had a Samsung U700 before which somehow got broken. Whenever I turned it on the LED would turn on without any possibility to turn it off - unless I would use a hammer. Anyway after a while the LED went more blue-ish and besides that it got terribly hot whenever it was turned on for more than 10 seconds. I really doubt that it has any positive effect on the surrounding hardware - aka your entire HTC Legend!
@Tomm't: I don't think so - I've been using Lamppu (Thanks heaps, Dzondu!) for a few days now - fuse blows a lot at my house - and I've experienced no overheating problems or not turning off problems. Only problem I've had is reduced battery life due to the necessity to call the Camera API before you call the flash-light API (AFAIK, I'm no expert but I think that's correct).
Then again maybe I'm just using it more. Both are possible.

You don't need to run camera, just Lamppu itself and should work
I know you don't need to start the camera app, I mean that the Lamppu app makes an API call for the camera, effectively starting it up so it's sensing, and then turn on the flashlight with a second API call. AFAIK that's how it works and is the only way to make it work, so I meant that if you use the flashlight it basically starts the camera and just doesn't display the image, which takes battery power.

This is the Legend forum??
There is this app too, call Incredilight, works also on rooted Legends
froyo 2.2 has an official HTC flash light application ..
I have been using Lamppu and found some minor bugs..
After i have used it a couple of times the camera wont start, not with the LED turned on or off.. doesn't matter if i turn it off and try the camera, not even killing camera app solves the problem. The only solution i found was to reboot the phone.

Am I the only one having problems with the Proximity Sensor on the Atrix? I can't seem to get it to kick in when on a call. I have already dial-toned a couple of people when talking on the phone. I have tried covering up the sensor by placing the palm of my hand over the to 1/2 of the phone and it never kicks in.
Can someone verify for me that it does work and not some software bug.
Thanks,
Ed
Did you ever find the problem? My proximity sensor has stopped working also.
i am having an issue with mine too. at first i thought it was an issue with the screen not coming back on, but now i realize that the proximity sensor is not turning off the screen at all and my screen is just turning off when the screen timeout value is reached.
my phone is rooted, i have used titanium backup to freeze some of the apps associated with blur, and i have installed the hack to use webtop mode. can others that have this issue confirm if they are running stock or modified software?

Any of you guys ever find a fix for this? I just noticed that mine is not working anymore either. It's rooted using aRoot but it was working for a while and now it doesn't anymore. I have another couple of days to exchange in store if I want to if it's a phone issue.
Crap, I'm having the same issue now too -- was working fine since I had it, but this occured just today, Day-2 of using 1.5.7 .... wonder if it's related ...

Reboot seems to fix this -- but annoying >_<
Is anyone that is having these issues using bluetooth? I have isolated mine to bluetooth and sent an issue report to Motorola.
same problem here but not using bluetooth
My wife's Atrix does the same thing. "dials or hangs up while in a call". She does not own a bluetooth headset and I have only connected a Motorola 305 one time to it. Reboot fixes the problem. Reboot seems to take forever when compared to my Dell Streak.

Hi I believe I traced the problem with the proximity sensor not working to Handcent SMS. On two separate Atrixes, as soon as I uninstalled Handcent and rebooted the phone the problem went away and stayed away. I have since installed GoSMS and now it happens just sometimes (usually after I install a new app) but a reboot after installing an app ususlly fixes it.
My Phone has a standard Telstra (Australia ROM) and is not unlocked or modified in any way.

If you are using unlocked bootloader or if u have unlocked the dim using a code then u will have to disable the In Pocket detection and then try sounds crazy but worked for me.

Similar issue
Just installed latest stable build onto my Atrix 4G, everything seemed fine last night, although I was using phone with bluetooth, this morning get a call, answer, screen goes dark, red proximity light comes on, and I can hear no sound, [later on the caller said he could hear me fine].
Phone would not wake up right off, and when it did it I still could not hear caller.
Been screwing around with settings all morning to no avail, discovered that the phone will only work with bluetooth device connected. without bluetooth the device goes dark, cannot wake up, have to hard reboot, with bluetooth and volume button awaken enabled, it performs normally, so possible connection to issues in post with proximity but with a bluetooth twist...

Hi, the accelerometer is not working on my X10i. I am using this rom:
[ROM][MAY14]BlackEditionHD_1.2[Gingerbread 2.3.4] ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077375 ) and everything is working perfectly except for the accelerometer. I like this rom alot, it's incredibly fast. I would post on their thread with my issue but I don't have 10 posts, I created this account just to report this problem.
What I've done to attempt to repair:
Turned on 270-degree rotation in "Spare Parts" (came with the rom)
Completely reflashed the rom, twice. Redownloaded for the second time to make sure it wasn't corrupt.
Turned on/off auto rotation under "Display settings"
Tested in browser, launcher, games and anything that would normally work.
Nothing works. It can't be that my accelerometer is broken because it was working perfectly before I flashed this rom, it hasn't even left my table since it was working and when I flashed.
Anyone got any suggestions? Also, could somebody be so kind as to link this thread to the development thread?
Thanks!
Probably is a rom's related problem!! Try to flash an other rom to see if it works!!

Hi ! I've got the same problem with my x10.
For 2 days, the accelerometer was working perfectly on the Achotjan's ROM, the one with the xperia arc theme and with android 2.2.3 (Sorry I'm on my mobile phone so I don't have the link ^^]. At night, I always turn off the auto rotation so it doesn't disturb me when I'm in bed. But this morning, I turned it on, but nothing happened. No 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Even in games, my motorcycle goes straight instead of turning.
Also, one other point is that in this morning, my cell phone rebooted by himself. But I reactivated the autorotation after the reboot.
Could you help me/us ? Thanks
EDIT : Well, it started working by himself I don't know how. So it's okay now. But it would be great to know what's going on with that, in case of a future problem like this ...
i have the same with stock 2.3.3 .....and NOone can help....
I have been having some problems with it on the Cobrato MIUI rom also, haven't bothered looking up the problem though.
While on an outgoing call, I can hear my contacts, but my contacts cannot hear me... Anyone else has/had this problem and know of a solution? Btw, I'm on the 351 build and rooted. Thanks in advance!

What steps have you taken to troubleshoot this?
Tried with the speakerphone on?
Tried with a wired headset?
Tried with a bluetooth headset?
Did you recently install any apps?
When did this start?
This started a few months ago (even with stock), but I always thought It had something to do with "Total Recall" (a phone recorder app)... but after finally uninstalling Total Recall and clearing cache, the problem continued. I also tried everything u mentioned and everything works perfectly. It's only when I use just the phone its self to make calls I run into this prob.

Install StreakMod Recovery and make a nandroid backup.
Reset your phone using the reset in the settings under Privacy. Test the phone. If it works resinstall your apps one by one to check. If you still have the same problem after a reset with no apps installed I would suspect a hardware problem.
Will give it a shot. Thanks.

Do you ever just bump the mute button with your cheek? This is a good possibility if they can't hear you halfway through the conversation (sometimes my head falls off the light sensor causing the screen to turn on).
You know what?... that's a good possibility. Thanks

Yes I have the same problem. I traded my HTc desire for dell streak stock rom not rooted. 5 inch is great, really great. But at leat one in seven calls I can hear the other person, but that person not me.
The lock screen is also unresponsive, same 1 out of 7, I just can't answer, because the slider won't slide.
Sometimes the screen is also unresponsive in general, especially the lower part, I have to change to landscape mode and then hit the kill all apps button, after wich the screen works fine again.
First I thought these were problems caused by the stock music player, but now I dunno anymore. (music quality is much better than on the desire by the way)
also bluetooth calling works really bad. People always complain about the echo of their voice. I tried 3 differents headsets. Bluetooth music works great though.
Maybe this streak is just bad model. No wonder The guy wanted to trade.
I faced the same issue on my Streak5. For almost 3 weeks i was chasing this issue and was absoultely fed-up. Actually i had recently changed the sim card for my telephone operator, and i thought that was the issue, so i fought with the telecom operator to get it changed but no difference. Then i suspected some software is screwing up, so i went through all the installed software and jotted down every software that had some audio/mic relation. Finally in the list i most suspected a call recorder software called "Call Recorder Free" by Clever Mobile and BOOM ! I uninstalled it and that was the culprit indeed ! My phone is working perfectly fine now ! Please beware of this or any such software.
you guys could try to use the olleh 407 ROM or use the custom ROM where usually custom ROM is the best alternative for streak...
Hi.
I was using my Atrix with CM7 MROM for long time.
Yesterday I switched to CM9 Olympus with new kernel by krystianp. It's great rom but...
I got two little problems:
1. when I plug my headset I don't have icon informing about this.
2. when headset is plugged it auto pick up calls. I found something like this "phone>menu key>call settings>Accessory settings for call" but I don't have this options in my dialer or anywhere else.
Can anyone help me with this? Icon is just a feature I liked but auto answering calls is a little disturbing for me. Especially when I don't know who is/was calling.
It is pretty clear you don't know what you're doing, or else you wouldn't flash an experimental ROM and then complain about a bunch of already very well known issues.
I suggest in the future you stick to GB ROMs and stay away from things you don't understand.

I thought auto answer was normal function which is working and I didn't find anything about problems with it. So if it can be turn on should also be able too turn off...
I know that new kernel and roms are in development and that they have some bugs (proximity sensor, screen tearing, problem with some games) but one app which I needed runs only on 4+ Android.
So could answer me it is possible to turn off auto answering calls or it is bug which I miss reading threads about kernel/cm9/cm10?
