The following is a common problem with the Atrix, so it seems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26120173#post26120173
Symptoms:
Try to enable the WiFi or Bluetooth : Doesn't enable BT or WiFi, sometimes will reboot phone.
Or it will constantly reboot phone, depending if you can get to the Airplane mode switch quick enough.
Sometimes in middle of calls it will reboot.
Suggested remedies
1) Format cache
2) Fix permissions
3) Replace firmware libs on /system/etc/modules/wifi
4) Detach + reattach battery clock on CPU/Accelerometer/WiFi/BT motherboard
5) Run stock ROM
6) Vote for Ron Paul
I've done the following
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5. 6 doesn't seem probable to fix this case.
TWICE I've got the WiFi to work again. After that, reboot hell untill I could disable WiFi / BT.

[ 214.628002] Error: Driver 'bcm4329_wlan' is already registered, aborting...
Now I had some experience with WiFi kernel driver development (iMx51 + CSR based WiFi/BT combo chip).
The startup sequence on kernel level will probably go like this:
1) Kernel startup
2) ARM CPU specifics startup
3) Platform specific device setup (setup clocks)
3) Platform driver dependency registration (like, on SDIO 1 there is a WiFI chip that needs driver X to work)
4) Sub-platform driver startup (SPI, SDIO, UART, I2C)
I think this is where we fail first - Error -110 means timeout. Each MMC / SDIO chip has a MMC specific startup sequence, then depending what was given on number 3, it jumps over to SDIO (SDIO is a superset of MMC).
When our BT/WiFi chip is put into SDIO mode, the SDIO commands fail with a time out.
Possible reasons for it failing:
1) Incorrect voltages
2) Skewed clock
3) Busted chip.
4) We talk to it too fast
5) Kernel is messed up
Now, seeing that (through weird loops, check my previous post) I could get the unit running two more times, I do not think it is 3.
Why it could be 1:
Voltage rails needs to start up at the correct sequence for some chips. Like some chips will specify an operating range of between 1.8V and 3.3V. That means if it finds 5V on it, it will shut itself off. Sometimes some chips needs an initial 3V, then after 10 seconds it can be put into 1.8V (in-chip startup). Sometimes, it needs 10seconds to stabilize before you can talk to it (in our case via SDIO).
Why it isn't 1:
I've tried a lot of other kernels. It is all based off the ATT code, and they do the voltage rail setup correctly. I've even reverted back to stock code - no dice.
Why it could be 2
By removing the small cell battery, the drain on the battery was lifted. It could then store up enough current to put itself into the correct clock rate when it was put back.
Why it isn't 2
? Don't know. More needs to be known of the function of this battery. Obviously it is driving some RTC (real time clock). RTC's normally work at 32MHz, (32768, easilly divideable by 2, 4, 8 etc).
Does the Broadcom chip need this RTC? Isn't its clock lines driven by the Tegra2?
Why it could be 4
If the RTC is compromised (number 2) then init will suffer. If the Tegra's clock is not derived from the battery and the Broadcom's is, then there will be a disparity between the 2 units chatting together, as SDIO communication is clock based and not latch based (like SPI). If I'm chatting to you at 32MHz and you are 5% off, then we will not be communicating (if you are an SDIO master and I'm an SDIO slave).
Why it isn't
No idea.
Why it could be 5
Bunch of kernel errors stating un-inited modules pointing to null.
Why it isn't 5
Stock kernels also have the same problem
So, sorry folks, this issue points to a hardware problem.
Our biggest answer will be at the following:
1) What does that battery do?
2) Why is the SDIO subsystem having timeouts?
That's all for now.
Dude, I have this SAME EXACT problem. Full wiping helped temporarily, and sometimes not at all. Flashing back to stock doesn't even help. My next move is to buy a new battery.
And I was already planning on voting for Ron Paul.
I got so tired of my Atrix rebooting and the WiFi not working that I ended up downgrading back to my Captivate. :/
that does seem to me like a Hardware failure on the broadcomm bt/wifi chip =/ there seems to be a sdio/mmc1 error in your first dump, did you try removing the external sdcard ?
on the other hand, did you try to rsd flash a stock rom (not just flash it form recovery but with rsd)?
I had this issue and struggled with it for over a month. Finally, I ended up sending it back to Motorola for warranty.
It's unlocked and I didn't try to obscure that - it seemed dishonest, and this issue isn't caused by my actions as far as I can tell. I've seen lots of people online with stock handsets with the same issue.
They received it yesterday, so we'll see if they fix it. If not, I'll be happy if they let me pay to have it repaired out of warranty. Their site says out-of-warranty repairs are $110, flat, so that's not too bad. If they refuse to service it, I'll probably never buy a Motorola product again...
I did everything I could think of to try and make it work, and it got progressively worse and finally stopped working at all. The only ROMs I had used when mine died were stock, CM7 BA2TF, and the two CM9 KANGs floating around. I was using turl's v9 when it started giving me the error.
mine started doing that when i went from nottach's the darkside prefinal to turls v8 then to nottachtrix4g 1.0
I Haven't got this problems.
I've got random reboots for no reason (4-5 at day) and when trying to switch from offline mode to online always caused reboots (but after a long idle in offline)
Send it on warranty, and they replaced the MoBo (I think, they call it " Electronical Board") so I've got a new IMIEI too.
10 hours and not one single reboot. Tonight i'll try to put in offline .
Tomorrow I'll post :v

Ok so, after the replace of the MoBo, no reboots, and this morning (after kept the phone in airplane mode in the night ,8 hours) switching to online, no reboot.
Anyway I will keep u informed if it comes back or w/e
same problem
I have also Atrix 4G (ATT) witch same problem "WiFi error"
What i ready do and check:
- reflash latest radio = NOT HELP
- flash many ROMs = NOT HELP
- wipe all = NOT HELP
- disconnect and connect internal battery = NOT HELP
- after disconnect and connect internal battery - reboot stop... and start after i try setup BT or WiFi
Also what i finde intrest:
- internal battery have 2.4 V (not 3V, but i dont know correct value)
- i cant make backup from CWM may PDS
What i plane to do:
- replace internal battery to new one
- try to make PDS repair (i finde on forum PDS repair file)
- rehot phone PCB (i have infrared soldering station)
What i serch for help
- Atrix scheme and service manual
- information about phones factory repaired witch this problem (IMEI same or changed ?)
- some one try repair own PDS for fix this problem ?
THX for any information, if i finde way - post here
ready check soft brick
I make softbrick for may Atrix - all manual erased and then install clear radio and rom = NOT HELP
I sent my root & unlocked Atrix to Motorola - they sent me a new one under warranty. I restored the factory ROM, but did not try to hide the fact that it was unlocked.

I have the same issues.... This happened to me after flashing Neutrino's CM7 ROM so I'm still thinking this is a fixable issue... I hope!
But so far no luck. Yesterday I even reset everything using the Motorola update software on my laptop. It re-locked my phone, put on the default Android recovery, and reset the ROM to un-rooted and stock. The boot screen was AT&T's logo and everything I'd expect from a fresh phone from the store. But still the WiFi settings showed an "Error" as it's status and if I click it on a few times the phone reboots just like before.
So I performed the unlock and loaded the CM Recovery and now I'm back to the ICS ROM which is awesome except I have no WiFi or Bluetooth. Data usage is adding up on my AT&T account...
Any fresh ideas are gladly welcomed.
I've never had any random wifi reboots until I installed 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 stock and custom roms. When I installed anyone's version of the two rom, my wifi signal would drop every 3 mins like clock work. I have a Beklin wireless N router at home. This only happened to me when I was using that router. All other makes worked fine (netgear, linksys, wifi hotspot, etc). I can't figure out what setting is causing this, any ideas?

Sounds like you have a router issue and a quick place to start is do a physical reset of the router so it goes back to stock settings. Then configure it one thing at a time until the comes up again.
The issue posted here is different. We're having the wifi and bluetooth hardware malfunctioning. It's not that we have issues holding a connection to a certain router, it is that wifi on the phone won't turn on at all. Maybe there's a distant relation to the issues, but I'm thinking their unrelated.

it doesn't matter, it's a hardware issue.
I rehot BROADCOM ic - WiFi = NOT WORK
I have exactly the same problem. Wifi started to error here and there last September. Then started to get progressively worse in the winter. Then it finally crapped out in February. Just have to keep an eye on my data plan till I can get it fixed. If it is a hardware problem, would it still matter if I am unlocked?

External apps like battery doctor to show the battery level(with no luck)

Some especifications:
As long as the tab is Off, the battery/charger/led indicator work perfectly.
-When the charger is connected, the led light responses and turns red or green depending on the battery.
-The battery charges well. takes many hours to uncharge the tablet in use when you have reached the green light when uncharged.
When the tablet is ON:
-Since the second animation upon booting, the led light turns off if connected to power(not on if charges is not connected anyway)
-Battery meter always shows 0%
-If connected, the rom detects it and says that it is connected, but no response from the led light or the meter itself(it doesnt gets the battery metter full, just gets it as 0% but connected)
-Not even clockwork mod gets the led light on when connected. I am starting to really worry

Success. I had to open the tablet, plug and unplug the battery supply and when i booted, the battery meter starter working. Any ideas on what the problem was?
Let the battery completely drain and then reset the battery stats using CWM...Nevermind, I see you already tried that
ill try again because it seems to be what everyone is doing to solve similar problems; XD, but i have already tried once.
Thanks for the quick answer.
Any other recomendations...?
probably titanium back up + flash something else (try gingerbread experimentalist + vegan tested beta 2 (kernel) )
then restore your apps with titanium
ok, i tried the complete battery drain again, no success.

I would say take it back to stock.
Battery meter shows that means its not completely done.
I would go back to your OEM Firmware.

this is a complete list, just make sure you use the right .pit.
you could also try another countries variant to see if you at least can get it working.

i am not relly sure if it charges when connected when it is on. BTW; do you came from calkulin 1.1 too? I thought i would be because the battery saver script or something like that.
I have a questions for any developer or anyone that knows this kind of stuff, when the g tab is turned on, does the led light depends on the battery percentage or do they work apart?
I have the same problem from the moment of the first switching-on of the device.
From some time my device doesn't charge the battery even when it is off. Now the device doesn't work with the battery generally.

0% at first boot
I just got my G Tab today, and when I first booted it, it just stayed at 0%. left it on/off, didn't matter. always showed "Charging 0%". I let it do the OTA update to 3588 hoping it would fix it. Afterwards it still said 0%, but I just turned off the screen for about 10 minutes. Came back and it showed 2%. After that it charged just fine, then I flashed TNT lite on it. I'm not sure what caused it to work, but hopefully this will help one of you with the same issue.
left off the screen in what build, was it connected to a power supply?
it was the official TNT stock build 3588. It was plugged in, cause if I unplugged it it would instantly shut itself off. I didn't run any custom roms until it was able to charge properly.
Long story short...was running Vegan-tab Gingeredition fine for about 2 weeks then one day got real slow and started to get endless reboot issue. NVflashed back to stock but noticed that wireless would not turn on. When activated it tried to start then gives "Error" message. I flashed to a few different ROMS and still have the same issue.
Anyone now how I can resolve this issue. Ready to throw in the towel. Thanks.
Sounds lioe hardware problem.
Yeah was thinking that myself. Maybe someone had the same issue and resolved it. We'll see.
yeah if you have done all the steps- reformatted cleared cache and dalvik like you are supposed to, it probably hardware. only other thing i could think of is trying to completely discharge the battery much like you would do with a computer "unplug" to reset a freeze up- really grasping at straws here.
make sure you are doing a data wipe/factory reset even after you nvflash. Alterntively, you can repartition teh internal SDCARD from within CWM.

kernel! that would make sense, im pretty new to the gtab but for the last few days i have been trying to load diff roms, with little success, but during my flashing on a restore to 1.2 i noticed i have a wifi problem, but i dont know how i could have hardware issue, this thing is brand new and its my babby i dont even drop it or throw it, not ever so i dont think the issue (in my case at least) is hardware issue.
Bump on this, I'm experiencing the same thing.. Any input from OP or otherwise?
Unfortunately never found a fix for it. I even took the gTablet apart to make sure the antennae wires weren't disconnected which they weren't. I believe it's a hardware issue. Tried getting Viewsonic tech support on the line but no response.
Let me know if you find anything out on your end. Good luck!

I'll probably try to get it back to stock and send it back to Amazon under the assumption it's a hardware issue. Thanks for the quick reply, bc this is really bothering me..
If there is a hardware error, it may show up in the kernel or Android logs. See this thread, and get me the kernel logs first using dmesg.
I have a problem with intermittent wifi error on Flashback 8.x. Occasionally when I shut down and restart my tablet I get 'error' displayed next to wifi. Powering down and up may or may not fix it. Sometimes wiping cache via CWM works and will fix it quicker. I have attached a zip file that has two dmesg and logcat files one marked good and one marked bad. These represent working and non working wifi. Maybe somebody can make something of it.

Your Wi-Fi hardware seems to be flaking out. There are clear errors in the dmesgbad.txt file:
Code:
<4>[ 66.035915] bcmsdh_sdmmc: probe of mmc0:0001:1 failed with error -110
<4>[ 66.048711] bcmsdh_sdmmc: probe of mmc0:0001:2 failed with error -110
<4>[ 66.066313] bcmsdh_sdmmc: probe of mmc0:0001:3 failed with error -110
...
<4>[ 98.368522] dhd_module_init: sdio_register_driver timeout
Error -110 is a timeout error. It means that the SDIO subsystem (through which the WLAN connected to the main board) failed to respond to a command sent to it.

Hi rajeevvp,
Saw those as well but did not know what error -110 meant. This only happens intermittently when going to sleep and waking up or if powering down and up. Also I do not seem to have this issue with CM7. Not sure if CM7 and FB 8.x handle initiation routines differently for wifi and this may be a problem or if it is how the drivers handle startup. I downgraded the drivers once from a post you made elsewhere and the problem was less often but not nil.
Will be willing to do more testing/debugging if you want me to or try mods to the system. Would be interesting if there was some way of polling the hardware to get more lower level information.
Anyway I am game if you are.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that your hardware is the problem--it doesn't initialize itself properly everytime it is activated (either when powered on or when coming out of sleep). Consider sending it back.
Also I do not seem to have this issue with CM7. Not sure if CM7 and FB 8.x handle initiation routines differently for wifi and this may be a problem or if it is how the drivers handle startup.

Those error messages are from the kernel (the WLAN driver, to be precise), so this is not a ROM issue. If you didn't have problems with CM7 (which version BTW?) it is likely because it had an older pershoot kernel.
If you want to try "fixing" this problem using software, your best bet is to try one of the older pershoot kernels, going back one by one, until the problem "stops"--but I doubt that it is the kernel for these reasons:
1. Pershoot hasn't modified the WiFi driver source and firmware binary blobs since April '11, so both the CM7 you had on before and the current ROM will very likely have had the same drivers. If you have a problem with the current ROM, you will very likely have a problem with CM7 if you go back to it now.
2. The SDIO/SDHC/MMC subsystem is screwy on some VS hardware. VS has a device called the gTablet, but, with slightly different hardware inside it. For eg: some people have had problems with one kind of internal SD card. Keeping this in mind--and what follows here is very speculative--I see that you have a slightly different WLAN HW: Most users, going by the collection of dmesg outputs that I have, have a MAC address (manufacturer) prefix of 'e0:2a:82'. You have: '00:27:13'. Both are assigned to the "Universal Global Scientific Industrial Co., Ltd.", but, does the difference mean slightly different hardware? I don't know, but, keep this in mind anyway.
Still, as I said, I think it's a hardware problem (or a hardware problem caused by messing around improperly with nvflash).
To verify that it's a hardware problem, try Clemsyn's kernel for your ROM. It's closer to the VS stock kernel than pershoot's is. Finally, you could also revert completely back to stock VS firmware.

If it is a hardware problem due to nvflash then is there a solution using nvflash. Also if it was due to nvflash would not the problem be consistent and not intermittent? I guess that would depend on what changes you think nvflash may have caused. All I have used it for is to flash between 1.1 and 1.2 BL using roebeet's packages.
Will try your suggestions. If it is consistent across kernels/ROMs then I agree it is hardware based.
I'll report back my findings once I am done. Might take a while since it is an intermittent problem.
Thanks for your insight.
Jim
This may sound elementary, but I am surprised no one has suggested manually pushing the wifi module to the ROM. Pershoot has had users experience this error countless times and reflashing the kernel did not work in all cases. What did work was manually pushing the wifi module through ADB or root explorer. That is my suggestion.
Hello everyone,
first of all, I am new on this Android world, so, any basic question I post, I ask for understanding in advance.
Trying to root my Viewpad 7 (Froyo 2.2), I come across to GingerBreak, I run it and it sucessfully root but it killed my Wifi (that's all connectivity I used, I have no mobile data plan)
as I wanted also to try new rooms, and flash a new one seems to be a only solution for the wifi problem (I have try factory settings without success). I come across Rom manager,
I download and install ROM_Manager_Premium_v4.3.2.3.apk from SD
and download CleanViewpad7_signed_v1.0.zip to my sd card
If I try to flash ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM manager, i get:
"Error while downloading from the server. Please make sure you have a stable internet conection ..." but that's no possible as I have no WIFI in my viewPad7 after root!
If I try to Install ROM from SD card (from Rom manager), the device restore in "Recovery mode" of "Andoid system recovery <3e>"; and it brakes with message "E:signature verification failed".
I have donwload it from several servers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168562), and all give the same error mesaage
I try to search for manual mode to install clockwork (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755379) but I can not find a way to go.
"wipe data/factory reset" inicializate the device, but it doesn't help with the wifi. it keet saying scaning->disconected->scanning->disconected ... (and of course, my wifi conection is set to remember with the password memorized)
In the cofig menu, i can see:
baseband: PR3.7_128
Kernel Apps_2.6.32.9
Build 4027_3_16R
In the FTM mode:
SWver=3.16R
Model:FM6-0001

what can I do?, I just have a 7inch no apps-no connection beautifull "thing"
More: I have try two other Rooms:
EUViewpadV1.4.zip
Viewpad7 Stock EU 2.2 +rooted+CWM.zip
nothing works, signature verification failed

Okay, you willl be fine - just need to flash & restore it first to factory/stock ROM first, then root it and go from there - here are the steps that I would suggest:
First, save anything important on your mSD card if you need to, perhaps to a USB drive and/or computer's hard drive.
Next, use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260463 to download - for the stock ROMs from Viewsonic.
The newest one is for newer ITE hardware VPAD7 (and, I believe yours is NOT if you could get CleanViewpad v1.0 to boot up & activate the screen - and a number of users are having trouble with wifi ....) To override that signature verification error message that you get, look into CWM (I'm using v3.0.2.8) under Apply update from .zip file on SD card, and there's a "toggle signature verification" switch - change it and trying applying the zip file again to flash - it should work, as I recall. Before that, make sure you wipe system/cache/dalvik & reset data, etc. for a clean(er) new installation.
FM6-316Q-*.nb0 should work with earlier, non-ITE Vpad7 and so should FM6-3310-*.nb0, whereas the FM6-3350-*.nb0 should be for newer ITE devices with either HWver 107 and/or (some) HWver 106.
To flash it, you CANNOT use CWM but must download the SUTL3 (v1.7.9 worked for me) - read & following the onscreen warnings/directions and it should be finished in less than 10 minutes (have the Vpad7 fully charged first & do NOT need to have the mSD card installed)
When it's finished, reinstall the mSD card, take a deep breath & reboot/restart, and you should be up & running with the stock ROM in a few minutes - if so, check your wifi connectivity first before going any further. Start with 316Q ROM first and if it's good, you might want to move up to 3310 next (it's newer) & recheck wifi connectivity. STOP then, as yours is non-ITE and the 3350 will NOT work. You can then flash CWM and/or root it - with SOC or GB methods, etc. etc. which you're familiar with.
I had no problems with wifi connectivity and/or 3G data (prepaid GSM 3G coverage) running the Froyo Enhanced custom ROM (non-OC version since I have ITE hardware) OS 2.2 - However, I'm running stock ROM OS 2.2.2 rooted and wifi is perfect for me. (I'm written up a quck tip/guide also - in case you didn't come across it while searching for answers) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264647
Lastly, TJ_Style's FM6 ROM w overclocked kernel should work for you as well, it's OS 2.2 but I patched the boot.img with my saved newer 2.2.2 ITE kernel and got it working too, and, no issues with wifi access at all.
In short, check & change your Signature Verification options under CWM and try again, and, if not - restore by reflashing with SUTL3 a factory *.nb0 file, then - proceed from there.
Good luck, have a bit of patience - it's both fun & exciting, challenging & disappointment often followed by the joy of luck & success. Let us know how it go & write down any error message(s) so we can help figure it out together - plenty of "newbies" been around but still stranded at times.
Regards -
Thanks, SUTL3_v1.7.9 and FM6-3310-0-5029-A02.nb0 works like a charm, easy and bring back my ViewPad7 to work,
for anybodies info, that change my ViewPad to:
Android version : 2.2.2 (from 2.2)
Baseband version PR3.7_128 (same)
Kernel Version Apps_2.6.32.9 (same)
Build Number 5029_3_310 (from 4027_3_16R)
I got encouraged, and I try FM6-3350-0-1008-A01.nb0, that gives me:
Android version : 2.2.2 (from 2.2)
Baseband version PR3.7_128 (same)
Kernel Version Apps_2.6.32.9 (same)
Build Number 1008_3_350 (from 4027_3_16R)
Swype included !! (seems a little odd and disordered the configuration process, so skip it)
what means ITI / non-ITI ?
languajes: both nb0 are English/Spanish/French only
now I will start with rooting and so, I will let you know
once more, many thanks.
Wonderful, we are all glad to know that you had success. Is your wifi working once again with either stock unrooted ROM?
Once rooted & CWM reinstalled, do a backup first to save those *.img files, etc. so that you can easily restore/go back later on if necessary.
As I said, check out Enhanced Froyo and TJ_Style's FM6 custom ROMs, both of them should work nicely for you - including wifi (I believe, as least on mine - both solid signals in both G and N routers, WEP & WPA-2 modes. (Also, try open or unsecured mode)
Happy flashing ....
YES !!, wifi is working back to normal. At least sometimes (I have need to re-flash few time already, it has stoped working few times more, and not becouse of rooting, just installing apps from market)
I have also encoutered the next problem : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XuccAxXY_8
and that shouldn't be normal behaviour?, isn't it ?
try with diferent room or return to viewsonic ?
by the way, what ITE means ?
thanks once more

ITE refers to Panjit Touchscreen (Multi-Touch Resistive) used on newer Vpad7 built & shippped vs. older hardwares used on earlier models.
On that subject, I've looked at a # of youtube video reviews & posting about the device's orientation/rotation issues, and it seemed to me that it prefer to be in a landscape mode. But, there are times where we wanted to have a choice, turn it 90 degree for a vertical or straight up - not so sure it's 99% hardware problem - rather, problem caused by a mix of Android codes & Apps used. Some were defective but that's a production & quality control issue, so, anyway.
I'm not sure after seeing at your YT video what the problem is, please describe & I will have another look with my thoughts on it.
Does it happen with the stock/factory ROM or only with the ROM being runned now - I would flash a different ROM to compare the results.
Sending it back to Viewsonic is an option but you will be without its use for 2 to 4 weeks (usual timeframe, could be longer) & deal with packing, insuring, shipping & waiting - but, if it's "bad" - get authorization & exchange it or repaired.
Regards !
Bad news, as later day, wifi come alive, it went down sometimes, and as I was trying application I flash the three diferent factory rooms few times. What I didn't notice is that the wifo was disconecting more and more often: now it does connect at all.
As said, I have try the three diferent ROM in viewsonic, and also an app called FixMyWifi, nothing helps, wife is all the time "Connecting..."->"Disconected"->"Searching"->and so on
about the strange behiviour of the screen, the matter is that as soon as using two fingers, the right one, can not be in lower position than the left one. So forgot about plenty of games, drawinf with two fingers, dificulto for rotating maps (when the rotation of finger goes beyond 90 degres)
And one of the reasons I bought it is my little boy, explain that to a children of four years..., in deed he found it as "that does work well, the tank does not follow my fingers"
so, as a multitouch is basically pointless if you have to care your right finger does not go bellow your left one ...
Anything to do with the Wifi ?
rooting may help in some way?, and some terminal comands?
I am willing to try, I am just in the point before return it as faulty device.
Many thanks for all the help given.

Thanks for clarifying and I looked at the YT video again - perhaps you would be better off getting Viewsonic for authorization to return for repair or exchange it. On my device, the screen is responsive 98% of the time but I do realize that sometimes, when we're playing Angry Birds, that it too doesn't always readily respond to commands or launch the bird shots .... Not a big deal for games, it will usually get going again - worst case, use the Go Back key & restart the level - I figure that it could be a combination of the Froyo or Android codes written for the OS and/or along with the Angry Birds gaming itself.
Afterall, my "regular" & 2 years old smartphone, HTC Eris running a nearly identical CPU & configuration is running custom rooted GingerBread ROM - and, is must better & responsive in overclocked mode. The Vpad7 will not, I feel, be running Honeycomb but let's hope that some of the veteran xda developers will soon release a working GingerBread ROM - perhaps it will fix many of the issues across the field, so to speak. (or, if Viewsonic will release it as official update .... wishful thinking, huh - but !)
On the wifi issues, have you tried doing the SuperOneClick and/or GingerBreak apk to root, and then flash TJ_Style's custom FM6 ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264647 - this OC version with WiFi fix might work for you without any mods (patching or zip flashing the 2.2.2 boot.img)
On wifi configuration itself, is this happening with different routers - "older" G mode or newer N (faster) routers, unsecured or open network or secured (WEP, WPA or WPA2, etc.) - any issues on the host computer/router's firewall blocking ? Can you log in at a public hotspot or cafe like Starbuck ?
Go into Settings > Wireless & network settings > Wi-Fi settings > and, then, tap the Home key (the bottom of 4 keys on the device - held in landscape mode) and you should see "Scan" & "Advanced" - does it pickup a decent signal ? Click "Advanced" & look at your "Wi-Fi sleep policy" - mine is checked for "When screen turn off" - tried "Never" or "Never when plugged in" - any difference ? If you get this far, you might want to try to set up & Use "static IP" instead of using dynamic ip addressing that these devices usually count on .... it's a bit of work, but might help to "zoom" into your own router only.
I use "Wifi Analyzer" v2.5.13 from Kevin Yuan (Google Market) to help scan the spectrum for signals and possible interference, which sometimes do happen - and moved 1 of our 2 cable broadband router to a different channel so that all of our wireless (up to 15 of them, yes) devices around the house can easily connect to the hotspots. (Reading posts @ other forum sites & ran my inSSIDer v2.0 from Dell laptop for baseline, it scanned 17 active APN's with varying signal strengths, our Sony W995 picked up only 6 signals with 3 good ones, the HTC Eris picked up 6 signals also with 3 good ones, and the Vpad7 only 3 signals, 2 of them from our own indoor G & N routers plus 1 from neighbors that's marginal. It's safe to assume that our device's internal radio receiver or Baseband isn't very good with reception to begin with - you might need to flash a different "build" like mine to give it a try - and try switching your wifi channel.)
Just some of my thoughts on the wifi problem as I do run into signal problems myself every so often installing a new device or configure a guest's new gadget at home. If all else failed and along with the touchscreen problem, then I would say get it fixed via repair or exchange from Viewsonic, and then .... (a few weeks later, upon its return to you - happy rooting & flashing, etc.)

about the wifi issue, I have try all the steps you mention before, nothing helps with my router (deliver by the telephone company). The only thing that works, sometimes, s turning off the router for several seconds, then it connect again. As absurd it sounds, it looks like the viewpad doesn't disconnect from the router even as turned off, so the router doesn't allow to negociated again a conection (and it keeps it in connected device while the viewpad is reseting or turned off)
I have try connecting a Linksys Wi-fi and connecting trought it : WORKS GREAT.
Trying in different locations, some of them same problem as the router, others works perfectly.
Solved for home with second wifi-point, I see myself one day asking Starbuchs guy to reset their router...

Hi folks,
I have got a problem with my S2 on NDTs newest MIUI rom running with the latest siyah kernel (actually problems started around mid december).
The phone freezes very often while having wlan turned on (esp. when I am using the market app). I have to take out the battery to revive the phone.
Second "problem" is that the phone reboots quite often lately (hot reboot, i dont have to enter my pin). it usually happens when i am playing some game or browsing the internet.
These problems have occurred on various roms (miui,ics,stock).
Need help as I need the phone for work (though I haven't had a reboot/freeze while talking or messaging). Anyone?
Maybe the logcat file can help. I saved the logfile moments ago, shortly after the phone had 2-3 reboots while playing Little Empire. I don't know how to "read" it though
Uh, and I asked the shop where i bought my phone about a replacement device. no chance. they want me to send the phone to their repair center which will take at least 7 days (the whole process). can't do that because i need it for work ((
a more experienced user will be along soon no doubt.
I'd do a full wipe and re-flash miui to be honest mate nobody wants to lose their data but if its randomly rebooting a lot then its possibly your only option other than sending it to be serviced.
Hey. I have done countless wipes and i have re-flashed different versions of miui more often than i can remember. I formatted /system and /data (/system was kind of stupid as I had to flash via Odin afterwards -.-). Even if I do not use any backups (I have also tried only adding my google account and installing some apps from the market after a clean install) these problems occur. ARG§$R%"$

i got the same problem! my phone freez on market often . i think it's not related to kernel ! probably something wrong with miui or market app.
Seriously no one?
really need help as i am close to throwing my phone against the wall -.-
have you tried a complete repartitioning of the phone, and then flashing a stock ROM with the new bootloader ?
(EDIT : looks to me like the problem comes from the modem you're using and your service provider, you got a lot of lines like those in your log :
I/TelephonyRegistry( 6376): notifyServiceState: 0 home Telekom.de Telekom.de 26201 UMTS CSS not supported -1 -1RoamInd: -1DefRoamInd: -1EmergOnly: false I/TelephonyRegistry( 6376): notifyDataConnection: state=2 isDataConnectivityPossible=true reason=null interfaceName=pdp0 networkType=3
Basically it tells you some parameter passed to the modem is incompatible with the service you're connected to.
I'd try flashing another modem -through CWM or Odin, don't matter as long as you do a dalvik cache wipe before you reboot the phone).
you mean repartitioning via odin?
somehow i tried flashing the original roms from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
but it didnt work. got any link for me (esp. new bootloader)?
Modem ver is XXLP6, prior to that i have been using BOKJ1 which was said to be specifically for T-Mobile (my carrier). the problem occurred on bokj1 too, just a bit less frequently.
Hm, no one else having these problems?
i guess i got unlucky with my device then ...
Here is an attempt to provide a definitive answer to what to do if your phone has the Bluetooth/Wifi hardware failure.
Note that some of the links don't seem to work with the xda-developer app or the Atrix built in browser. Please blame motorola, not me
Symptoms:
1) If your phone was set to try to use Wifi by default on boot:
Your phone boots into the OS but shortly afterwards freezes and reboots - and again and again.
2) If your phone boots with Wifi turned off:
Your phone boots into the OS and a few seconds after you enable the Wifi in settings or via a widget it shows "Error" and sometimes the phone reboots shortly afterwards. Bluetooth simply fails to work.
If you have warranty return it for a repair. If not the best you can get is to disable the Wifi and Bluetooth so the phone doesn't reboot and can be used with mobile data. Instructions for both are below:
Be sure it is the Bluetooth / Wifi hardware failure:
1) Are you running a custom ROM? - if yes go to 1.1, if no goto 2.
1.1) Reboot into recovery and make a backup.
1.2) Remove your SD card.
1.3) Reflash using RSD to stock - remember to get the right one for the right country!
Get RSD and drivers here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Search for your stock firmware using google
Use RSD to install the stock firmware file which will replace the bootloader, recovery and radio - takes about 20 minutes.
Goto 2.
2) Reboot into Stock Android Recovery and reset to factory defaults
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60620
2.1) Reboot to Android and try enabling wifi from settings - if it reports "Error" after a few seconds and your phone may reboot shortly afterwards it is the hardware fault. Proceed to 3.
3) Check your remaining warranty here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/82507/p/30,6720,7898
Bottom left - enter your IMEI.
Warranty left goto 3.1 else goto 4.
3.1) Return to Motorola for repair - be sure you flashed back to stock first using instructions in 1.3
4) Unpalatable options are all that is left. Either pay or do without Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Have money and the desire to fix your Atrix ($110 in the USA)? Goto 4.1 else 5
4.1) Consider paying Motorola to repair the phone anyway. Schedule a repair here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/82507/p/30,6720,7898
5) This is a complex process. Google is your friend. Unlock your phone using the instructions below. Note you have no warranty to lose (see 3)!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
5.1) Install romracers CWM custom recovery using moto-fastboot (or Android fastboot):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
5.2) Did you take a backup earlier? If yes go to 5.3. If no goto 6.
5.3) Reboot into CWM recovery and restore your backup. Note if you are stuck in a bootloop this will be ok in a bit. Goto 7.
6) Install your favourite ROM using CWM recovery from a SDCARD or by moto-fastboot. Goto 7.
7) Reboot into CWM recovery
7.1) Plug your phone into your PC (you might have to wait for the driver to enumerate the phone first)
7.2) Find or install adb on your computer (hint - it comes with the Android SDK and platform tools from earlier):
adb shell
mount /system
cd /system/lib/modules
mv dhd.ko dhd.ko2
reboot
8) When you install a new ROM or kernel goto 7. Every time.
This little setup moves the driver linux needs to try to talk to the wifi/bluetooth chip which has failed so it can't find it. If it can't find it then it doesn't try to talk to the dead Broadcom Bluetooth Wifi chip that prevents the reboot cycle happening.

Good job. Well said.
Considering how many posts I have seen after posting this solution perhaps it could be sticky?
I promise to maintain it.

Hmmm
I think I have done that correctly and flashed the 2.8 Neutrino GT. There was no reboot up to now. But I want to ask if there is a fix for WIFI 'ERROR' and BLUETOOTH error without 'ERROR' message?
Guys please. I can try anything I don't want to lose my phone Warranty is over. How can I find the Broadcom BCM4329 wireless and bluetooth chipset for atrix? So I can find a technician to change it with mine.
If you have the failure there isn't much to be done.
Ifixit has a teardown but the chip is a very small ball grid type thing which will be very hard to fix.
What are your symptoms precisely?

When I click on 'Turn on Wifi' button, It says 'Turning on Wifi' for 10 seconds and then 'Error' message comes up under the Wifi button and when I click on 'turn on bluetooth' it says 'turning on' but does not turn on. Same as wifi but without the 'error' message.
How can I fix this? I can't use wifi and bluetooth!
Nothing to be done. There is some discussion as to why but a chip in your phone made by broadcom which handles both wifi and Bluetooth has failed.
Short of replacing it requiring sophisticated soldering tools you are stuck. See the $110 Motorola warranty repair.
Sorry,

Im stuck.
I have applied the fix to NottachTrix4G rom. I still have the random reboots. I really need help.
Do you get the wifi error message or not?
Secondly does this happen with the normal, stock Motorola rom?

When i check wifi does show error. I have not tried the stock moto rom yet.
The best thing to do is return to stock and do a factory reset
Carry out a full backup first (nandroid or using CWM recovery).
The best thing to do is return the atrix to stock and then do a factory rest.
If the problem persists then it is a hardware problem and you can now return it under warranty without them knowing (see the thread for instructions).
Otherwise you seem rather stuck. Perhaps buy an atrix with a smashed screen and transfer the motherboard?
Matthew
Noattachtrix rom was good, but not good enough.

I ended up using RomGb instead and that fix the bootloop after using NottachTrix4G Rom.
This happened to me Saturday November 17, 2012. Rebooting did not help. Did my searches and found this thread - and was bummed to read that it is due to a hardware issue. Fortunately, I persisted. With the WiFi widget endlessly spinning, I tried the Bluetooth, which would just fail and go to an off state. I elected to do a force close on any running applications one by one, testing Bluetooth after each. I found that BlueTooth and WiFi functionality would come back after force closing some apps. I stupidly left WiFi on and rebooted the phone - this put me in an endless reboot cycle. In the midst of one I managed to enable car dock mode which I have configured to disable WiFi and this got me out of the loop. I found my issue, which has the same symptoms as the above, was caused by a recent update to WeatherBug Elite. I uninstalled the program, and am back to normal operation. Hope this helps others.
Update - it appears my problems continue. Although I can now access BT & WiFi, the problem will re-occur. Force closing Weather version 2.2.2 usually will clear the issue, but I have had a good working WiFi sessions halt to Error. Still gotta think it's software rather than hardware.
Thanks I thought it was the ROM until I found this thread
Well, I was wrong. The issue is hardware not software. In my case pressing the volume down button would change the behavior sometimes, like get bluetooth to work, press volume down it stops or vice versa. Time for a replacement.
I mount the system successfully but when I type cd /system/lib/modules I get it cant find the directory, Please help. I need to do this to stop reboot!!
Definitely Software
I have atrix 4g. Running MROM 2013 2 13. I have the error on WIFI and NO Bluetooth. No reboot, but I rarely use the wifi enough to leave it on(conserve the batt). This is a software issue as far as I can tell as well.. I can fix it by killing the mrom service in "manage applications". If I get a chance I will look further but this seems like enough of a fix to not care.. MROM is pretty great besides this issue.(which appears to happen on multiple roms. My guess would be that it started with CM, but only because that is what the roms are based off of that get the problem.

Having the same issue. Wifi died after the phone fell off my hands. I had the CM10 ROM by ephinter and everything worked great except the wifi (no reboots). Then I had the AMAZING idea of installing a new ROM and the reboot loop started. EIther with any stock or custom ROM it continues to happen. Tried everything without success.
Have anyone tried disabling wifi in the settings.sqlite and see what happens?
jaunis I found out why mine was doing the boot loop and it is funny but very weird. I wiped the phone and put my cm7 back on there and forgot to activate my gmail account or any account for that case. Now I have been running it with no problems for 40 hours. But of course still no wifi. I am fine with that. but at least I am not dealing with the reboots.
I have an unlocked AT&T Atrix 4G with a custom ROM (Cyan 9.x & ICS 4.x). I started having WiFi issues where the device would reboot anytime I tried to enable the WiFi. This all started at least 6mo after installing the custom rom so I dont think its software related. To try and fix the issue I tried doing a data wipe factory reset, at this point I couldn't get past the welcome screen because WiFi didn't work and I dont have a SIM in the phone (my kid has been using it for games). So from here I decided to try and flash the phone back to stock using RSD Lite;
Be sure it is the Bluetooth / Wifi hardware failure:
1) Are you running a custom ROM? - if yes go to 1.1, if no goto 2.
1.1) Reboot into recovery and make a backup.
1.2) Remove your SD card.

Goto 2.
2) Reboot into Stock Android Recovery and reset to factory defaults

I downloaded the AT&T 2.3.4 / 4.5.91 Service SBF which looks like this in RSDLite: 1ff-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-att-us-gas_na_olpsgbattspe_p011.sbf
I started the flash and left my phone for 15m or so to do its thing. When I came back my phone was boot looping (shown in a video here: http://youtu.be/V9wtBNEWRPQ ).
I can't do a factory reset from Stock Android Recovery (step 2 above), I can't get the menu for it. Now what do I do? Did I grab the wrong SBF file? Currently the only place I can grab SBF files at is here: http://www.das8nt.com/sbffiles.html
