So I was using my phone today when I got a notification in my status bar about an updated version of Busybox binaries. I think it said my phone was currently on version 1.20.0. It updated to 1.20.1, I believe. After this updated, my phone started seriously bugging out. It started acting like it does when the screen is wet. Random screen presses, switching my homescreens, clicking my calender widgets and setting random event alarms, etc. It ended up getting so bad that I couldn't even unlock my phone as I use a pattern lock. I pretty much lost all control of my phone. I had no choice and am currently restoring my latest Nandroid backup... I'm sure the screen wasn't wet too. It worked fine right before the update. I even rebooted and wiped down the screen with cotton balls and used a small amount of screen cleaner. I wiped it dry and left it in front of a fan for a few minutes to make sure it wasn't wet. Didn't help...
So my question is, should I install a specific version of the binaries? I'm running CM7, Mashup v3, 8 touchpoint mod, speedyv7. Everything was fine on 1.20 before the update. Thanks...
Are you using the free version of BusyBox or the pro version?
I see no update for the free version on my phone.
Currently, free. It's Jrummy's app. Should I purchase the pro edition? Would that make a difference?
Edit: Dropbox link to a screenshot of installer app... http://db.tt/yYbH9cLN
Cyanogenmod all day
I just uninstalled and reinstalled BusyBox free and I still don't see an option for 1.20.1. No idea what that is or why I can't see it.
If I'm not mistaken, can't you roll back to the previous version?
No I could not just install a previous version. Not because it would try and fail. The screen was acting up way too bad. Too many ghost screen touches, way too fast. Probably didn't help that I have 8 touchpoints enabled, ha... It was literally impossible. Only route was to restore a nandroid backup. Thankfully ReRecovery saved me from an SBF.
Cyanogenmod all day
Well, after sitting for a few hours BusyBox just updated and I can now see 1.20.1. I'm gonna let it self-scan then install and see what happens.
Any luck auto installing? Mine stayed loading for about 20 minutes so I just went ahead and installed 1.20.1.
I switched ROMs now and I'm on ICS. I want to see if I have similar issues here. I'll be back on CM7 later tonight. If you need anything else from me, let me know.

Weatherbug, works well for daily temps and keeps a running weekly forecast. Very nice if you ask me.
Not that this will help any or at all, but I had trouble with 1.20.1 also. I don't remember exactly what it was. I went back to 1.19.4-cm7 and it's running like a top.
Last night my phone updated busy box. I waited 45 minutes while the smart installer ran though and I got inpatient and killed the program. I just checked a few minutes ago and the update was installed but the smart installer was still running. What's going on?

Hey folks,
Saw enough people wanted this to happen, so I made it so. One of my few successful mod attempts
This puts back the Stay Awake option from Eclair, that Samsung was so nice to remove for us. This assumes you have the 5 lockscreen mod from sbrissen already installed. I have only tested on superclean.

I've added two more options in version 2.0, namely Dial Up Networking (I hear its all the rage for QPST users), and accelerometer calibration under Display Settings. Once again, this assumes you have sbrissen's lockscreen mod installed, or are using my superclean rom. Ty for GizmoDroid in pointing the setting out

Yeah, this is how the Fascinate works.
Try downloading a 150mb ROM, and then turning the screen off when 60MB is done downloading.
Turn the screen back on a few minutes later. Hey, look, the download's almost.... oh wait... nope. Still at 60MB. Continues to download once the screen is on.
This is INCREDIBLY annoying.
This mod helps tremendously. When my phone is plugged in, I should be able to let the screen stay on, without setting my display timeout to 10 minutes.
Saumsung sucks.
Thanks for this. I was starting to have issues with the accelerometer, out of nowhere. The phone wouldn't rotate when in landscape, or would rotate to landscape when I was in portrait, and I figured it was the accelerometer. The calibration fixed it.
Thanks for the DUN settings thing. Hopefully won't have to go back to eclair to do qpst anymore! If I need to ...again...

if I have a theme flashed, these mods will revert to stock TW theme partially...and when I flash the theme over these mods installed, the mods will disappear.
but it seems like the option choice never changed...I turned on the stay-awake option and flashed theme, but even after the mod selection disappeared, my phone stays awake while plugged in. so I guess this isn't a big deal. thanks for the mod!
Nevermind! In his infinite wisdom, Adrynalyne seems to have included this is SC2.9.2

This is exactly what my screen looks like when I launch certain apps. I've tried un-installing but it still just leaves those huge black boarders and the buttons are all mixed up. Is there any way to fix this?

Bump. This is also something i'd like to know.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I think that's one of the reason's that app in particular says it's not for tablets as they didn't code it for a bigger screen or to optimize it for various sizes.
I have read that you could try toggling the compatibility mode in Spare Parts to fix these sorts of issues, but your phone has to be rooted to use it. Also there's some weird combination to use it, like toggle it, reboot, toggle it again, then reboot again, then toggle it one more time. Google how to use to use it as I don't know the exact procedure.
Ok thank you ill give it a shot

Time to sbf
Still broken for me
No dice!
I'm running Gingerblur 3.5 flashed from zip.
I had the same issue as described in the first post.
I went to the market and installed spare parts. I noticed compatibility was already checked.
I rebooted without unchecking the compatibility for old apps and Chuzzle was still broken. I unchecked compatibility and rebooted. Tried Chuzzle and it was still broken so I checked compatibility and rebooted. Still broken.
After toggling compatibility mode off, then on (each with their own reboot) I can confirm Chuzzle is still broken. I can only assume the game is flawed and hope they fix it in an update.
Hexdefense 1.2.2 is another game that doesn't work on our Atrix 4G phones. It just give a black screen.
Except for those two apps I've had good luck.
I can only hope PopCap gets it together before Plants vs Zombies hits in 2 weeks.
Thanks dd I had the same result. Plants vs zombies is gonna be sick, plus I heard the company that makes a different famous game is also making this cool looking game where balls drop from the sky and you heave to deflect them with bullets, it might be called ball drop
Sent from my Rooted, Chilled, Webtop Modded, and GreyBlured Atrix 4G
Following the instructions posted here I believe Chuzzle is larger then it was initially. Note that it was talking about the Galaxy Tab but seemed to work for this.
# Un-tick Compatibility mode then re-tick it.
# Restart your Galaxy Tab.
# When it has started back up, open the Spare Parts app again.
# Scroll down to Compatibility Mode and un-tick the box.
# Restart your Galaxy Tab.
# Voila!

This is cause of the qHD display. The groupon app doesn't have a big enough background to do this.
They should really learn to use scalable graphics (or at least look like they scale) and use variables for the width and height when programming, instead of preset values. It's not like we are going to have 320x240 displays forever...

Hi,
I have updated my atrix 4g to latest update.
System Version - 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US
Android Version - 2.3.6
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9
Build Number - 4.5.141
Status bar (notification) is visible and working properly after reboot.
But after some time it goes invisible. So I can not able to check any notification, battery status etc.
I tried to open the notifications by Menu->More->Notifications.
But still the same problem. I am not able to see the notification on top.
When I restart my phone it comes back.
I tried factory restore but still facing the same problem.
I'm having the same issue but I'm running a custom rom.
same problem
4.5.141.ATT
Ditto. I had an unlocked phone, and couldn't use the OTA version, so I upgraded using RSD Lite. It seemed to work fine, and my phone still shows unlocked on the home screen, though I have not rooted the phone.
In the last couple days, I spent two days at a hotel for a work event. Yesterday, after charging the Atrix overnight, the blackberry was basically out of battery after 4 hours. I took it down to my desk and recharged, but the device seemed to be staying hot, and I was worried about it. So I did a factory wipe and reloaded using Blur, then Google.
I'm missing a few apps, etc... but at first the device seemed fine. Now I realize the notification bar is missing, and I can't figure out how to bring it back. Reboots have NOT made it reappear, unlike those that report it "disappears". Mine literally will NOT come back.
Any info is appreciated. Wish I'd never gone to 2.3.6. The previous AT&T rom seemed to work fine. And while I wouldn't mind upgrading to ICS, I need a simple, documented process. I won't want to waste my weekend on figuring the whole thing out.
Double Ditto
I upgraded to 4.5.141/2.3.6 OTA. I hadn't unlocked mine previously, just rooted. I had the same issue on the stock ROM, after a reboot, I had a status bar, but after an indeterminate period of time, it would disappear. I unlocked, rerooted, and installed a custom ROM and it still has the same issue.
Any clues appreciated.
I have also have the same problem since the 2.3.6 upgrade. I tried using a custom ROM NottachTrix v1.2.9, but get the same results. I have tried using MXLauncher home replacement as well as SPB Shell. Both give the same results. Each time I reloaded my phone I did a complete wipe. The last time I even didn't restore my apps / settings from my backups just to make sure.
I am not sure if the fact that I am using a "Live" wallpaper might have anything to do with it. As it was said earlier it happens randomly, but a restart fixes the issue. It doesn't matter if I switch to Landscape or Portrait, launch another app or webtop. At least with the webtop I can see the other apps running and get notifications from the webtop bar.

The problem is the stock email application. It's really annoying as I have not find a fix.
Supposedly, and I also saw what happened that causes the notification bar disappear is MOTOBLUR problem in the Stock ROM this happens when you try to download or make backups of your data, which probe the solution was to create another email and MOTOBLUR this is no longer closed the notification bar, will question that you try too.

I just reset my phone yesterday and have this exact issue. Came here looking for a fix and lo and behold it's the first thread.....
....so what is the fix?

Willy you are my savior. This seems to have fixed the issue. It has been about 17 hours and the notification bar hasn't disappeared.
Almost Same Problem
I have the same problem with the status bar, but I have a Motorola Atrix rooted.
After I actualized the rom to the RETAIL 2.3.6 this problem started.
To resolve this problem partially I created a new MotoBlur account, until now it's ok, but I don't like this solution.
I want my old account because I need and like the e-mail adress and the data.
the quick fix is to shutoff email notifications, for me it was only one account that was breaking it, but if you just go in and shut email notifications off and then reboot it should bring it back.
Mine does not. Running new 4.1 4.04. Every time I download some thing and the screen turns off I either have my download pause or download failed not completed. Is there a way to fix this??
What custom ROM are you using? Mine does the same (running MeanROM 2.7). Some ROMs are coded to purposely shut off pretty much everything except regular phone/text communication when the screen is off to save optimal battery. Personally I haven't looked into it enough to figure out how to change it though... :-\

That option has already been selected. Does not work on Wifi or 3g.
I use juice defender ultimate and I haven't noticed them stop if I customize an app to be able to run with screen off.
If I'm downloading a torrent I plug it in the wall and select never turn off in display settings. Just turn brightness down to like 5%.
I noticed it was an issue on the og EVO for me. Idk about anyone else, kinda just fixed it without asking about it.
When I was running a Sense Rom, even with those settings above, downloads would stop. I think it has to do with how many other apps you have running. As soon as Sense decides it needs some RAM to run a different app, it will kill the app currently downloading regardless of whether the DL is finished or not. At least that seemed to be my experience, and yes turning off the screen would also kill my dl's sometimes. I would recommend going to CM10 or another AOSP ROM. I have found that the latest CM10 builds Kushdeck is putting out are pretty much solid. I have been using it for a daily driver for about a month now, and I don't miss Sense at all.

You'll get two options and they are both functional. If you click them you can test them both.

I've been working around it without a problem, I just didn't know if it was an error on my part
how many of you are running this? if you are running it do you have cards working?
i've had it and like it (the search part works, i can't add cards)... although it appears a bunch of functions don't work. it appears the easiest solution is for us to wait for JB to come out?
Google now with cards is working nicely on the cm10 preview in the development section. It wasn't working the same way when I was on viper with this version
Sent from my Incredible 4G LTE using Tapatalk 2
Use the app for a while. I felt like I didn't have any cards pop up for a while. Give it a chance to collect data and you'll notice a difference. I've been using it for several months now and it gives me traffic to work smh home, recent places I've shown interest in, train arrival times for the subway and railroad stations I'm near, weather conditions as well as heads up notifications letting me know when I need to leave my current location to make a calendar appointment on time. It really is awesome, but you'll have to give it a bit of time.
This version also has a lot of glitches, like you can't hit "back" out of the app or it will freeze until you do a refresh.
The developers only went so far as to develop for ICS, and then stopped so not everything functions correctly. Just install Cyanogen now that we have it, it works great!
just today it popped up a card for driving directions home and traffic! kinda cool... had the locations wrong so i corrected them. i'll see how it starts behaving - nice to see it's starting to figure some stuff out. it does give me cards for calendar events...
i keep watching the cyanogen thread... i've never run that rom before. i may try it for fun some time although i'm really happy with the viper rom.
I love the cm10 rom. Been running it since the day it was previewed. Google now works great on it. After it learns your behaviors the cards come up all the time for me. It even gives me driving eta to home and work in the notification bar when I start my trips without even opening the search app.
