ok i dont even know where to start... I dont usuallypost that many threads *****ing and complaining about my phone.. but enough is enough...
I haven't rooted...(well I did a while ago BUT)... I took part in that beta testing update crap so it unrooted me.. but these problems I have been having are since the LAST "update" which was well over two months ago now (I THINK)...
1st problem I am having is randomly I cannot input text into ANY thing on the phone... I am using smart keyboard pro.. but even when i change input methods it still does not register anything i am typing... in fact when i switch the phone to landscape mode the text box goes dark grey...
2nd also when this happens... nothing will happen when i attempt to make a phone call... i click the name .. nothing happens.. i go into dialer... i cant input the number i try other methods of dialing out nothing happens....
those are the two biggest problems I have as I need to communicate with my clients all day long i cannot have this type of inconsistency.
ohh and also the finger print scanner just plain doesn't work when i go through the process of setting it up.. it wont even register the "test" swipes... its like its broken all together.... any one else having ANY of these problems?? please help me
I've never had any of those problems ever and I've had my atrix since launch date. Maybe you have a deffective device call and see if your provider will do anything about.

to be honest... and i know it sounds pretty stupid.. but... i really dont know how to flash the sbf... i know what it is followed the thread on it when it first came out... but never put the effort into figuring out how to actually do it... and right now i just don't have the time to sit down and do that.... (lazy.. it is what it is) but that could very well fix my problem i guess right... ugghh
ok
good luck sell me ur atrix I need a second one for testing purposes
If you feel adventurous enough, try disassembling the device and reseating the LCD/digitizer cable.
I had an issue with a Samsung galaxy s vibrant about a month ago that would register touch inputs when it was just sitting on the table. I did what I suggested above and the problem was solved.

So you cant input any text and you cant make any phone calls. You know what sbf is youve seen the thread and realize that it could fix the problem but your admitedly too lazy to do it. Okay, thanks for sharing!

LOL! I mean, why don't u just go back to it and making useless comparisons?
If you took some time to read, your problem would already be solved.
1. Your digitalizer may not be working well. Guarantee will cover this.
2. SBF from scratch to discard a software issue.
None of the issues you are experiencing is related to the phone being a dual-core mobile or not.
I've been able to solve some problems by reading and taking the advice from the forums.
If your Atrix looks ****ty, it's not on it. Mine shines!
Waste of forum space!
Warranty!
Bye!
Don't let the door hit you....
Err... you have a broken phone, bro. There are lots of bugs with the Atrix but yours is simply a broken phone.
Hell if you want to complain about a phone, give me it. Ill put the work into fixing it and love it. >.< this phone sucks.

C'mon man, flashing an SBF is simple! The instructions on XDA are very detailed. I am a lifelong Mac user, and even I figured out how to flash an SBF via Windows. It would not take more than a couple hours to download all the stuff you need, and re-flash an SBF. What's your build number now?

What are you even doing in this forum? My Aria is sitting in the box on the floor.
Swifted from my Atrix.
I've come across the keyboard input bug with alternate keyboards before.
SBF your phone, there's plenty of guides available how to do this, or you can download the moto update tool from their website.
Well as they say on WOW and other MMORPG...
Can I have your stuff??
Hello everyone. I have gone as far as I can go by myself, and I am looking for a little help to see if together we can get this working.
I have a Lilliput 669GL-70NP/C/T 7" touch screen that I want to try and get working over USB host. So far, all my attempts have been fruitless, but I think that it is possible. The touchscreen utilizes an eGalax driver to work, and I see from their web site here:
http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm
that they have created a linux driver for ARM devices. Based on what I have been able to determine, this means that I should be able to load the driver on android, but this is where I start getting in way over my head.
Does anyone know what I should be trying to get this to work? I also read that ICS has some form of touch input built in... should I be trying this on that? Right now I am running CM7. It seems to me like with a little work we could have external touchscreens for our Atrix!
Oh I forgot to mention, when I plug the touchscreen in, DMSG does register a USB HID input device as "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"
CM7 also registers the handlers for the touchscreen as mouse1 and event10 when I run "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"
It seems like this is so close right out of the box! I'm trying my best to load the drivers now from terminal... we'll see how that goes.
Hope you get it sorted.

Wow, I really wish that I could help. I'm really just dropping in to show interest and wish you good luck.
That would be a really sweet way to almost have a padphone. Ever since I unboxed my lapdock I've said that it should have been a tabdock with a touchscreen instead.
I'll go back to lurking now...

Thanks, My idea here is to dump the phone to a mounted 7" screen in my car dash. I want to basically have a touch screen head unit with all the power android offers, and the unlimited data that AT&T is still reluctantly supplying.
As far as the project goes... I just tried on Joker's CM9 built with the exact same results... I was hoping maybe the rumors I had heard about ICS support were true, but not out of the box i suppose. As far as the drivers, I can not get the calibration / driver utility to run so far... and that's as far as I'm going to be able to go tonight.
Why not HDMI?
Edit, HDMI can't support touch screen, my bad

lol nice timing. I was just logging in.
HDMI works great as is. However, I was looking to be able to provide input back to the phone. Otherwise, the phone still has to be front and center for controlling, which in my opinion kind of defeats the purpose of putting the screen there in the first place.
Basically you want to do like, vnc and pocket cloud, where you control your computer via smartphone but you wanna control the phone instead via touchscreen panel, that sounds like a pain in the ass!

Yes that's exactly what I want to do. I tried running a vnc server on the phone, but even over USB it was far too laggy.

Right now I'm trying to install ubuntu on the atrix.... with linux drivers for arm devices that might be a solution i can handle, but I'm not sure it would work with USG host. Don't know until you try though!

Are you sure that the USB isn't just for passing touchscreen input back to a device? I mean, I know there are such things as USB monitors, but I don't think this is one of them, is what I'm saying -- I'm pretty sure you need to use both HDMI and USB for this to work.
Even if you could load the driver. Which you can. You still need to write some libs and script to get android on the screen. Good luck

Perhaps I need to clarify... The Lilliput 669 has a proprietary HDMI cable that breaks into HDMI and USB. I am not trying to send video and input over USB, just input. The HDMI part works as is. I plan on using both HDMI and USB in the final solution.

Yea me too! I have tried in vain to buy this. $189 AU is a little less than $200, which I would be perfectly ok with for a completely working bluetooth solution. However, I can't buy it. MP3car.com is working with the designer to bring the product to market, but they are still 4-8 weeks out, and there are some concerns that it may not be released at all. The designer's web site lists the product as out of stock.
I have tried to find somewhere else that I could buy it, or at least get schematics to build one, but it has been in vain. By the way, this has been re-branded as "Mimics for Android".
I had been wanting to do the same thing. The other day i just came across something that should be coming out end of the month android quadcore mini development board. so you could say use touch monitor and android OS i see they have bluetooth also so maybe phone could connect bluetooth to the android system in car. there isnt much more info on the board but it looks promising for an incar project its tiny. its called odroid-x http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php
there was some other $100 range android cube thing i saw recently too that might be good. OUYA is name of it maybe XDA will have a section one day for these devices. could make for some good in-car systems much cheaper than indash receivers and more features.
Good luck to ya, keep us posted. I would kill for a solution like this. I would love to be able to implement this, with a fiber optic audio out to a DSP like the Zapco DSP6 or Audison BitOne.1 or the Helix C/P-DSP that is coming to market.

This all sounds good, and I have seen the OUYA... it looks impressive. However this will remove the phone ability if I go this route. I could just check out the android x86 project for that... I believe they already have this screen working actually. I've been trying to follow how they made that work.
I really want to stick with my atrix as the brain so that I retain the 3g connection without another $50 a month or losing unlimited internet.

just to know... do you read the "Kernel 2.6.24 upward" right?
theres also what samcriip told, even porting the drivers, you need to write the libs and scripts to get android on the screen, idk how much you know about android but... this is kinda hard to be done...
Good luck, you'll need it.
So my friend gave me his Samsung Galaxy 5.0 (I think it's USA?) today, and I was wondering what I should do to it. I own a Nook Color and have CM7 running from an SD card, but I'm pretty sure it's different for the Player. I think I would rather not root it and would prefer a custom ROM, but I'm not sure how/which one to pick. I found JoyOS, CM7, and CM9, but I don't know which one I should get.
Unfortunately, my friend dropped it a few days ago, cracking the screen. The screen and touch screen still work, but it's cracked and annoying to work with. He never got the warranty, but is it possible to get the glass replaced?
Alright, I've managed to get CWR installed using this guide, and from there I installed JoyOS and it's working pretty well so far.
ignore this
You have a list here so you decide

Your gonna find that a lot of the tips and insight for this particular device are hit or miss. One key thing to remember is that this device is not a phone so the temptation to leap into things may be a bit higher than with your phone (taking the root/rom route on your phone carries a higher risk, so more people that would not normally go this route are). That being said, there are some serious threads and some "not so serious" threads, good advice, and not so good advice. So use your best judgement and ask if your really not sure on something.
Now that's out of the way, your gonna find that the Gingerbread based roms on this device are all relatively stable with minimal bugs - try all of them is my recommendation! The ICS ones, some that are still in development all have some issues one way or another. This is gonna be up to you and your uses for the device to decide whether or not the bugs are ok for you. The Cyanogen based roms are pretty spectacular if their limitations work well for you.
Do research, read, read, read and you'll begin to get a general feel for what people are liking and not liking. I am a pusher of trial and error, but only if your comfortable with continually modifying your device. Flash on my friend and have fun!

Thanks for the advice! I think I like messing with this than my Nook, there's a lot more stuff to do instead of "put this image on your SD card and you're done." I finally got the market to upgrade to Play in JoyOS and replaced the boot animation, and I'm enjoying this one so far. I think I'll give LewaOS a try tomorrow.
So, does anyone know if it's possible to get a screen replacement for this? Or is it better just to get a screen protector and hope this doesn't get any worse.

Yes, you'll have to send it to the nearest Samsung Service Center.
They will replace it for you, but without a warranty you will definitely be paying out of pocket.
I can only speculate that it would cost you somewhere in the range of $75~$100.
Please, do not quote me on that figure! I am only guessing, but I can't imaging that it's a cheap fix.
Considering the obsolescence of the Galaxy Player, I'm not sure paying for a screen repair would be worth it.
Call Samsung's Service Center and get a quote.
But, if the cost of repair is more than the half of the device's value,
I would save the money and get a more technologically current device that is WIFI-only.
Stock-based ROM
I would recommend you flash a stock based ROM unless you know a lot about Android, because non stock-based ROMs have a lot of bugs.
Ok, I have been everywhere and looked through everything and keep running into a wall, hard. I am not new to rooting Android devices and am comfortable doing so without and issues. However, I recently lost access to my computer and most any other computer around me. I know there are a few apps out there that one can use on their android device (smart phone, tablet) that can root their device. However, I am unable to find them to use them.
I am coming to you good folks at XDA for assistance with this. Also, my tablet just recently, like 2 or 3 days ago, updated.
Any assistance with this would be great. I just hope someone can help me out with this.
I hope I posted this in the right spot. I say this because I also saw questions like this in a different area as well.
I hope this is not a big issue.
I've owned an A200 for close to a year and have never seen a root method anywhere that didn't require a PC. I think all the old 1 click apk files only work for Gingerbread. I hope you find something to work but it's not likely.

So far, from what I am seeing and have seen, I think you are right. And it kinda sucks.
OK, so how about this, what about using another android device to root? I have 2 other devices I could use. Just tossing the idea out there.
Anyone have a possible idea for this?
Something else I heard/read about is rooting through the recovery program on the tablet. Does anyone have any ideas if that would work and what I would need to have?
hello all, I just got my Sero 7 Pro, so far I am only charging it.
I was wondering what are some of the best suggested things to do to it? for example, for future proofing? I was just wondering, if like my ipod touches, to save the SSH blobs was suggested prior to updating and then every update...is there something like that for these?
this is also my first Android device as well...so I'm about as green as green can get ... I have an ELM327 Bluetooth device I was hoping to use with Torque on this device too.
any info and suggestions would be awesome, thanks.
Got my zero a weak ago. I recommend nvision (nvidia's app) highly. Belkin's 7" universal keyboard case does fit the zero, barely, and it won't close properly. Im debating weather I should try to modify it out maybe return it and get the bigger android keyboard for ten dollars less (it was a gift). Nothing else worth sharing except drippler.

A lot of people use Titanium Backup (often just called TB). You will have to root your device to use it, but it does a very good job.
