Any one else got unlocking the front screen issues. I can see it bit can I slide it........eventually it works but its a pain in the a$$.
I think I'll go back to the beta, it seems to work better.
Dell! Why are you stuffing up such an easy process. Give us stock android and go back to making computers! software is not your game!

Look for the user "knobs" on this forum has a program called "menu unlock" it requires root, but it allows using the menu key to unlock the phone like in the 1.6 builds, works great if my slide to unlock gets flakey, i just hit the menu button.

thanks for the reply. The slide problem is annoying.
Has any one else had the same problem? The beta build had no problems, but the past 2 outputs have been rubbish.
I'll give the menu button fix ago

YES! I hate this unlock/lock screen in 2.1. I am always having a hard time getting it to work on the first try. The worst though is when I have to answer a call. It sometimes takes 4 or 5 swipes at it. My wife thought I was ignoring her call at the mall the other day because I could not get the thing to answer.
I'm the same, its gets so bad that I just give up and reboot.....gr rrrr

Just got my Photon. Woo Hoo. I hope I can keep it. I have some issues but they are with Sprint, not the photon.
I am on my second one. The first Photon acted crazy where I would be just holding it on it's sides and if I would just turn it a little in one direction or another it would vibrate and the voice recognition app would come up over and over again.
Now my new one will sometimes do it. Sometimes it's the voice recognition app and sometimes it gives me 3 choices of what I want to do (which program to open). It doesnt' happen nearly as often as it did on the first one. So, now that 2 of them act strange in the same manner, my conclusion is that either I have a setting wrong or there is a bug that is causing this. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Are you stock?
Does it happen when you first get it, or do you notice it after you download an app?
Try to go to stock and do whatever you do 1 at a time until you're able to recreate it. That'll help you

My first one was stock and unrooted. It was the worse one. It did have the update.
The current one I have is stock, but is now rooted. I haven't done anything but add a couple of apps that require root (like Titanium). Works great otherwise......
OK so now I know how to make it act up. If you put it in landscape mode and kind of torque it a little while in your hands it will vibrate and then navigate itself off somewhere else or give you a choice of actions. Anyone else noticed this?

Yeah, I was thinking the same. If you hold down the search button, it brings up voice search, and double tapping home will bring up voice commands, and holding down the home key brings up recently used apps... At work we call it accidental fat fingers...

I recently purchased a Motorola Atrix 4G, its my first android phone and its been working well for a while. My fingerprint sensor stopped working after about 3 months of use. it first started taking long to recognize my print and now it just doesnt read. i cant even install a new fingerprint profile coz the sensor just wont read. I hope someone can help me fix this, but remember im still fairly new to the droid world so please run me thru step by step on how to resolve this. Im using Gingerbread v2.3.6.
One other thing, the phone hangs sometimes and restarts itself, anyone know a solution to this too?
Backup your personal data, apps, etc. and make a factory reset from recovery. Solves such problems mostly.

Like i said im fairly new to android. How do i back up my data and all. I knw thia sounds like a dumb question but some guidance would be helpfull.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
I would recommend titanium backup for apps, sms backup+ for sms & call log. You can use your google account for contact list backup & recovery.
You can get to the recovery menu by holding power & volume down buttons together during phone's startup.

I need to root my device in order to run titanium backup. Whats rooting & how do i go about it?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
It's pretty easy, you should search & read a little in the forums There is also a wiki page for Atrix.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Mine did the same thing. Had to get a replacement from eBay, cost a bit under 20$. Atrix is really easy to dismantle, iFixit have a detailed guide.

I managed to get another app to back up. I did the factory reset in settings but the fingerprint sensor still isn't reading. Or was i supposed to reset it when starting up the phone? Coz when i start up my phone & hold the power & vol down button it says fast boot & when i press the vol up button it says starting fast boot & gets stuck @ that. Suggestions?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Hold power & volume down buttons together until you see that phrase. Press volume down button again till you see the recovery, then press volume up to enter into recovery. That's it.

Honestly mine just died about a year ago and that was on stock Froyo. Since then received GB OTA and still no change. Now running Epinter's CM10 JB and still it's only a power button. GL!

If you have an International Atrix , you can try flashing Full Firmware Froyo in RSD, and then flashing Gingerbread 2.3.6
It will fix everything. But if you are using an ATT Atrix, you will hardbrick.
The one thing you can do now is a Factory reset.
Greetings,
Try a few other GB ROMs, if the problem persists you may have a faulty finger print reader!!

Your digitizer has died, you need to replace it.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
How and where do i replace a digitizer from. Like can i buy one online & how easy is it to replace?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Many many other threads exist about this already.
Yes, you can buy online. Moderately easy, depending on your level of experience. Some gotchas exist.
I tried to enter recovery on my one, I have entered "safe mode" by accident a few times. What is it and will this be useful to somebody else?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
It's a way to start your phone without allowing any third party apps to load up on boot. A way to disable or remove one that might be causing issues when you start up.

You can manually get into Safe Mode by holding the Power Off option when it comes up. Hold power switch until the menu comes up, then long hold the "Power Off" option.
Sorry. It was a little self serving posting this. I was hoping it would lead to something big. I don't remember my ruby, Xoom, g2x or any of my other past devices doing this.

I remember it from my HD2, but I don't recall how to invoke it.
It is useful if your phone gets messed up and you need to uninstall something.
I feel kind of stupid but I used to have a swap button and now I seem to only have a record button and can't switch when I take a second call. Am I missing something, this seems to be the case in the regular dialer and in rocketdial

24 hour bump

I'm going to help get this back to the top cause I have the same problem. Not sure when the swap button went away but I'm sure it was there at one point. I can not find anywhere in the settings that would change this. Only things I have done is root via chain fire method, install twrp, flashed freeza's crt animation mod for the native wifi tether and his beastmode kernel. Have you done any of this? I would love my swap button back but instead I have to hang up with both callers then call back whoever it is I want to continue talking to and it is really getting irritating. Anyone have any ideas or the same issue?
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Thank you. I don't feel so alone and dumb now. I rooted using the other knox safe method dela root and odined the same file in that post although my baseband and software say mi3 and the build says mi5. With calls that is the exact problem I have. I can now record a conversation when its on speaker phone but dont need that. Only other thing I downloaded was rocketdial for a while I thought that was it but uninstalled and have the same problem
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
I am finding it hard to believe out of 200 views we are the only ones with this problem. I let my phone update to mj4 before I rooted it. Have you installed the crt animations or a new kernel? We seem so far apart in what we have done to be able to make sense of this.

Hope the bump helps. I don't have the issue you described, but I am with Sprint on MJ4 - what root did you use?
Dela vega. Lets try this does everyone else have a swap button in the top left position or does it say record. Or do you have a record button that switches to swap when you answer a second call
And nothimg else installed for me

And I used chain fire to root. It appears we have both gone completely different routes yet still have the same problem.

Its hard to tell because I reset with De la vegas again. But the first thing noticed n Wanum was the record button checked and unchecked it calls work fine now.
Finally got to mess with the phone and wanam was definition the culprit. I can now swap between calls again. The issue I still have and not sure what happens on the stock rom, when I want to hang up with one person I tap end them it doesn't switch me back to the person on hold. Instead it acts as if someone is calling me and then have to answer the phone where that person had been on hold the whole time. Hope this makes sense.

Did you just disable the module this is frustrating I never noticed until today when I tried switching back to the first call I had on hold
It's under the phone tab. Uncheck add record button or something like that. Should work. I have since installed a rom so not 100%. Let me know if it doesn't work and I will reinstall it to see if I can find it.
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
I wish we could have both. I want call recording but also want swap. I use swap so little however that I live without it.
what I want is behind the scenes fully transparent over any connection bluetooth or speaker call recording in the background fully automatic.
I had this on my Touch Pro 2 (windows mobile) and its one feature I really really miss. it just "always" worked.
