My vibration stopped working after I did the contact pin tweakwith the aluminum foil in the back. Idk if thats why it stopped working but yea... None of the vibration on the phone works... Running senseless rom if that helps. How can I fix this.

Vibration is a little mechanism that has nothing to do with signal/antenna contact pin. Did you check all the setting and apps? Some apps are able to disable vibration as per user's setting or even by default ... sometimes restart the phone also solved the problem as well
Did you reverse the tweaked process (took off the foil that you put it) and see what happened. Good luck!
Dammm I did all of that. I guess I'm going to have to exchange

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...

I have the newest update installed. I would rather not reinstall but it seems like it's my only choice. #Sadguy
I updated and still have the problem. sucks!
this was covered in another thread.. I can't recall where but the fix for this is related to the in pocket lock setting...
go into menu > settings > display
disable 'in pocket' detection..
reboot your phone..
after reboot, you may enable it again if you use that feature or leave it off.
PROFIT !!
I take no credit for this fix. I don't remember who discovered it but I'm sharing it because it bothered me after the update as well.
If this works/helps, remember to hit that magic thanks button
I've tried that and it doesn't work...only thing so far that works is a reboot

You guys may have hardware issues too, go swap your devices and see if it helps.

This may sound crazy but mine does this only at work??? When I'm at home its fine. So I'm not so sure its hardware as opposed to radio or software. IDK?

This isn't a device/hardware issue either. Something causes the sensor to shut off or fail. I feel this is software related.

I downloaded androsensor from the market, and you're right the prox sensor just stops responding... Says waiting for event, and after a reboot it gives an output of 1.2 our 39.4 inches.... Not sure what the prob is. I read on another forum that out may have something to do with rooting the phone, but I don't adhere with this. Are you guys with the problem rooted?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
had the same problem. turning off "in-pocket detection" worked for me.
Just to confirm. Once I disabled the in pocket feature the proximity sensor works just fine.
Once you disable the in pocket feature you will need to power off your phone than re power it up and it should be fine.

I have tried multiple roms (Homebase, Star Wars, and stock) and it still malfunctions. definitely seems like a hardware issue.

yea was really annoying.....but it went away after updating the phone
Anyone still having the problem? I am. Im on the latest OTA and did a hard reset via recovery. Moto forums seem to think it has something to do with Bluetooth. Is it a known hardware issue? Resetting the phone always fixes it.
Ya mine does that too....i never ever use blue tooth so that cant be the only issue..bluetooth is off
On the latest update. 6 or whatever was just released the other day ..i manually pushed it with rsdlite
We will see if that fixed it

I am running AOKP ver 35.1 I have noticed that my phone doesn't vibrate anymore. and I'm not sure when I lost it. I have been all over in the settings it is set to vibrate. somewhere I think I seen that it was broken in ICS any ideas for me?
Thanks

My vibrate is working on 35.1. It could possibly be a bad download or maybe your vibrate motor just wore out. ( it is one of the few moving parts in our phone)
You could try redownloading/ reflash and if that doesn't work, I would return to stock eh03 to see if it functions at all.

so i thought i was having that issue till i hit the call button, went into dialer settings and enabled vibrate from there. try it out
I honestly had sort of the dame issue twice. I would get a weak weird vibrate instead and when I reset the phone it was fine again. It us probably due to the age of the phones is my best guess.

Has anyone else had the problem of wake up gestures and pedometer that stops working? The weird thing is....it works fine when attached to the charging cradle?
Check to see if you have enabled the power saving mode. This will turn off the motion wake gesture.
Nope...not activated. Ive done hard resets...reboots, dialed that code to see if the gyro etc had values (it did) im at a loss.
I've been having the same issue ever since I updated the gear to the latest release. Some one please help.
Ok.... I guess we have self repairing watches....mine started working again. WEIRD!

So my fingerprint scanner worked flawlessly for about a week then issues started. It goes through spots where it won't recognize any of the scans. If I delete the scans and redo then it works great for a little while then won't recognize any of them again. Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

Just had this issue myself today, I have both thumbs programmed in and it refused to accept either. Once I entered my password it was fine. Happened twice now.

Occasionally it will go in can't recognize mode, but after doing a backup password it works fine. It's a very weird bug.

I had this problem once. Then i simply input the emergency password, which worked.
Usually it has to do with the positioning of your thumb. Just make sure you place it at the right angle.
