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...

Worked for me!!!
Stock rom with, root, atrix tweaks installed.
Thank's a lot!!!
last night i hit the camera app by accident, when i backed out of it the screen flashed and so did the flash on the back(no pic was taken) now everytime someone calls wither i answer with bluetooth or the phone they cant hear me. i either have to reset the phone or call them back..has anyone experienced this issue?
The problem stays even after a reboot? Are you still using the stock rom?
Has anyone tried a Skype videocall on the Jetstream? I can't get the cameras to work. The camera light lights up for a few seconds and that's it.
confirming same issues - installed latest skype version from the market, trying to make a video call over WiFi , no luck, the call connects but without video.
THanks for confirming. HTC says to talk to Skype.
Skype isnt showing up in my market anymore when I search for it, can anyone confirm if its still there?
(edit, it was there all along lol - wasnt showing up because my maturity filter settings were set low)
Same issue but noticed that when the other user initiates the call it works.

having the same issue and haven't tried the other way around yet... will give it a shot and report back.
I just got a refurbished phone from Verizon. I never messed around with it or anything and I immediately rooted it and installed the Jelly Bean leak.
I had issues with contact photos showing up in the Favorite Contacts widget and I had problems with my phone not switching between landscape and portrait mode.
So I did a factory reset and reloaded everything, now the issue is happening again.
Could it possibly be a software problem? I've downloaded a few different apps to test it and I'm almost certain it isnt a hardware problem. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

settings/Display/auto-rotate screen see if it is enabled. also you can install a custom rom to see if it's persisting
if those doesn't work, go to warranty
Good afternoon,
I am trying to get into settings (gear icon) while in camera and it goes into settings for a split second and goes back to camera. I can not get into camera settings while in camera or if i go to the camera app and try from there? Does anybody know how to fix this issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave
I don't know if it helps but did you already clear app data?
Yes, I have Pioneer. I cleared app cache first and then app data. Still to no avail. Today is the 3rd day I have had this phone.
Does anybody know if Best Buy still has a Samsung center in it for technical issues?
If so, will they charge me or fix it for free. If they do charge, I will return this phone and get AT&T to mail me another one. i hate to do that because I have all my settings fixed on this new phone.
That's very strange. You have a touch panel issue of some app is interfering.
Try to boot into safe mode and see if it happens. If it works, you may have some app interfering in camera software. Don't know.

I have fixed the problem. The problem was in Settings -->Developer options-->Don't keep activities. I turned it off and now everything works. It's strange to me but everything is working now.
