Hello,
I just got the HTC One X+ from ATT. On my old Atrix I used it to listen to the radio through TuneIn or iHeartRadio all day at work.
Since I got the One X, it seems to lose its data connection a couple of minutes after the phone goes into lock, especially if I get an email notification. I've turned off the power saver setting and even unchecked the power saver options.
Is anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix? Do any of the custom ROMs fix this? I've rooted it using the AIOTK, but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Simon

This happens on all AT&T devices that I know of. My personal opinion is it's the quality (or lack there of) in AT&T SIM cards.

Hmm...
It didn't happen on my Atrix running CM9, so I thought that it may have been a setting somewhere. Every time I unlock the phone the streaming picks up automatically.

It started and seemingly has remained to AT&Ts micro SIMs. I have had it happen on my iPhone 4 One X and One X+ all of which use micro sims
Have you heard about it happening on other networks?
Check if you have disabled Power Save mode, it turns all data off while in standby (screen off).

Interestingly my phone dropped to edge for some unknown reason and I wasn't having any problems. I rebooted to get back to 4G and suddenly the problems started occurring again. This is my first true 4G phone, the Atrix was HSPDA+ (or whatever). Maybe its a network issue?
-Simon
I'm pretty sure it is NOT a micro sim issue. Probably has to to with HTC/ATT wanting to save as much battery as possible. Same reason they changed the multitasking, saves battery. Have you called support about it? That is a genuine complaint, it shouldnt happen.

Not yet, I thought I'd post here where I might actually get help.
I have this issue as well, and I'm pretty sure it's not an ATT specific issue since I never had the issue on my HTC Inspire 4G (DHD). Not when it had stock gingerbread, not on ICS, and not on JB. first time I've ever had the issue was on this device. I suppose it could be something specific to LTE, but that'd strike me as odd since bandwidth doesn't appear to be an issue on it, and streaming music doesn't take much. Like, 192kbps music stream out of the 45mbps I typically get in my area.

I stream music in my car over LTE to my BT radio and I don't have any problems for hours. Do you have an android market task killer or battery optimizer installed?

Perhaps this is an HSPA connectivity issue. OP, are you on LTE or HSPA when this typically happens?
I noticed that this happens with the WiFi signal as well.

Hello all, I am not sure if any one has mantioned this or not. I looked thru the whole Atrix forum and could not find anything. I just got the Atrix about a week ago. I noticed that after using the data for couple of hours (Streaming music) it disconnects and I dont have access to data till I power off for a while and power on again. it is the same story every time I use data for 1 or 2 hours. replaced the phone once already including the SIM card and still the same thing. Any one having the same problem? Please reply. Thanks.
Am I in the right forum? If not, please forgive me, let me know and point me to the right direction? Thanks.
So you lose data completely? No h, e, 3g? Just bars? I had a similar issue on my captivate if I drove around listening to Pandora sometimes it would randomly stop playing till I went to the next song.

Well, I see the H+, but the little arrows (TX/RX) right underneath it disappear and I have no data connection and all this is happening while I'm in the same spot (In my room or at work at my desk). Also a window pops out saying Network Error. Also, I never see E or 3g. It is always H+ even when there is only 1 bar. Is that normal? Here is a picture of it. It just did it to me. Now i have no data connection unless I power down for a while. Here is another Pic. If you notice, there are no Arrows under H+.

It happens to me on data only without wifi on or off. I was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else. I guess no one used the data long enough to see this problem. It looks like this is a Motorola problem and I will have to return the device. Don't want to but don't want to keep a defective device.

Check your Battery Manager -> Battery mode setting. I think by default it's set to Nighttime sleep, which (in theory) shouldn't affect any music streaming or sync apps until night time, but it's possible that the profile is wonky. Try using the performance option or the custom (even though custom warns you of this very same issue).
This issue finally happened to me today.
I think it had to do with Extended Controls widget not correctly enabling/disabling the data apn.
In settings everything was right but I could not get the network even though it was showing the H+.

Hi. If you keep using the data nonstop, you will see that it will happen to you more often. I read some where in a forum that Motorola is having some kind of a power management problem on these devices (Atrix4G & Bionic) where it over heats and effects the RF radio and Motorola is denying it. I am not sure how much of it is true. I can not find that article.
Here. I fond it. Every one, read this.
http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...-suffering-unfixable-power-problems-20110126/
Hey all, Guess what I just found out. After talking to few AT&T tech support about the problem I am having with the device, they transferred me to Motorola tech support. Guess what they told me. The Motorola Atrix 4G is not a 3G device. It is only strictly 4G device. WOW. That sucks. I thought this was E, H & H+ device. That is not what I was told in the AT&T corp. store when I went to purchase it. I was told that it is a 3g/4G device and if there is no 4G network it will drop down to 3G. But I don't think that is the problem. The device is defective. Just now I power off and power back on and it is working fine so far and I don't think we have 4G network in my area.
Update: 03/11/2011 02:13PM PST PDT
Hello all. I am just doing an update. I went and replaced the device one more time (3rd device, 4th SIM card) and it is still the same. It keeps disconnecting from Data every 1 hour or so. I finally called Motorola tech support. The first level tech support could not help me, so he transferred me to second level tech support. The second level tech support told me that they are going to try it on their own devices that they have and call me back the next day. So they did. She called me back the next day and told me that they could not duplicate the problem (of course). So she said she is not going to let it go, she is going to sent it to the engineers to see if they can find out what the problem is and she is going to call me back on Monday 03/14/2011. If they still have no solution for this, I’m going to return the device and reverse my upgrade. It is just a shame that Motorola (being the first in communications) has to get beaten by other Competitors.
any update on the issue? im starting to have the same problem with my atrix.
Unfortunately, this seems to be happening to quite a few people. There's a longer thread on it here:

Nope. Even Motorola Level 2 & 3 Tech support could not resolve the problem. They wanted me to sent the device to them for more trouble shooting. I finally returned the device and reverse my upgrade. I suggest you do the same if haven't past the 30 days.

Here are a few problems I have with the amaze so far...
1) Fluctuating service. I hate this. I will have all the bars showing and then all of a sudden I get no service. What's up with that? The sensation would at least holds two bars at all times. (Oh and no wifi calling!)
2) Overheating issue. This phone gets too hot for no reason. For example I browse for 15 minutes and bam..its really hot. I make sure I exit apps by hitting the back button and my brightness is at 15%. There's no excuse for this.

4) wifi turning off??? I could be on wifi for a good hour and everything is OK, then I turn on the phone again to use it and I'm not connected to wifi anymore. I manually turn wifi on and off to get it to work again.
5) On the bottom in between the menu and back key my amaze has some light leaking through. Its tiny. I didn't notice it until it was completely dark but its there and now I can't help but keep staring at it. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it.
6) Lastly and the most annoyong thing for me is a clicking sound. When I pick up the phone it sounds like something getting snapped in place. And its almost everytime. Wtf is that. haha.

the no wifi calling thing sucks, will be fixed with root/update so meh
my battery drains about 50% when i'm sleeping, though this may be to mediocre service that goes in and out, going to try and shut mobile network off tonight and see if it fixes the issue
Though I agree with most of the other "problems" ya'll have listed...
I was told by 3 representatives, and one sales person (who sold me the phone) that you have to activate the new sim card included with the device to take advantage of the new wifi-calling that T-Mobile is rolling out (this includes the new GSII on t-mo). - I spoke with so many because none of them could activate the new sim correctly...and were baffled themselves as to why it was so difficult...haha.
Honestly, I havent been able to test wifi calling because the place where I'm renting has never worked with mobile devices, except for apple devices (of course...haha). I may report back here later when i go somewhere else with wifi.
Just wanted to pass on some info I was told by 4 separate people - they all claimed that's what a memo showed on their system when they pull up the AMAZE and GSII.
I come from a mytouch 4g, i have the same issue, suddenly i have no service then it's back on again. Never had that with the mytouch...
Well, I have had mine since launch day. I have a little but not much light bleed. I have had no heating issues. Last night out at bars I saw the signal issue. One sec I could speed test and pull down 14. Then I would notice no 4G symbol, try to speed test again and it would say no signal. Still love it though, nice and fast!!
My buttons light up when it's dark, but not when it's light. Is there anyway to turn this light sensor off and keep these lights on so I can see my home, menu etc buttons?

Definately seems there is a (buttons) light sensor, they do basically stay on at night, not in daytime.

The sim is not controlling the software, but it can affect what information is communicated with t-mobile.
I don't know what you mean by you don't have this feature. Among other ways to activate the hotspot capability, you should find the "Wi-Fi Hotspot" app on the device.
Just to repeat/clarify my original statement/post: The Amaze 4G and the GS II (according to others) allow you to activate the wifi hotspot feature, have your other wifi-enabled devices connect to your phone, but when you try to access the internet with those wifi-enabled devices, you are prompted to upgrade your plan to include the $15/mo. plan.
I hope this is clear to all.
Te whole service popping in and out is starting to drive me nuts!!!! 3 bars of 4g then nthing! 1 bar of 4g then it turns into 2 bars of 2g! WTH!?!?!? Never had soo many reception issues on ANY of my Tmo phones!
Dosent seem to matter where I am when this happens as it happens often, far too often!
I have to assume that of all the connection point inside the back cover of the phone at least ONE of them is some sort of antenna?????
Cmon Tmo?!?!?
Even if it does warm up, I doubt that you will feel it if you put it in a case. Unless the phone is burning up..then yeah.
I am coming from a HTC sensation 4G and it had WiFi calling and WiFi hotspot feature.
The manual that comes with the amaze shows how to use WiFi calling also the one on HTC's site,
If I could put the sensation Rom on the amaze I would be happy as the sensation had what I want working,
I love the feel of the Amaze it feels much more masculine and fits nice in my big hands I find my self not mistakenly touching the softkey's as much.
Also I can seem to figure out where 4gb or the Rom is as it shows only 9gb for storage and 2gb for something else
On another note I have seen a post that shows an Amaze with WiFi calling, the had an earlier firmware,

why would you get flamed. only 99% of the people on this site know more about the devices theyre holding and things their carrier offers to them then the actual employees, one of the most known things probably being the grace period you have to return/swap out your phone if you want... noooo, no reason to be flamed.

To those who are experiencing issues with the Amaze especially after returning it a million times before buyers remorse is up, I recommend testing out the GS2 aka Hercules. Other than the resolution this phone is really great. The resolution isn't that noticeable unless you have OCD.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I jumped ship to the GSII. So far I'm happier. The amaze does have more bells and whistles but it was a bit heavy for me and the GS II has got - not substantially - but improved battery life and a more visually appealing screen. Also my eyes aren't great, so I actually appreciate the lower resolution screen which keeps the icons bigger. I can see the pixels easier than on the qhd of the amaze, but i have to be "looking for them" to really notice.
Some people are having better luck with their Amaze so just like a ton of other companies out there these days...there's a big quality control issue.
Looking service is really getting on my nerves now and i dont like this any more. Wonder if there will a fix for this from HTC or Tmobile
I have got Amaze last week, but there are two main problems with this device.
First, the "power off" button doesn't work sometimes, no responses when I long press the button.
Second, after installing some apps(about 60), wifi has some problem---when the
screen off and I open again, the wifi is automatically cut off. Even though there is a wifi "label" on top of the screen, I can't browse internet. Then I manually cut off the wifi and connect again, it works. But everytime the screen closes( u know, it is unwise to keep the screen always on), the wifi will be cut off automatically. I don't know the reason. I have changed a new one this week but same problems arise!!! I am driven crazy!!! Could sb nice to help me????
besides, I have tried "factory reset", and problems will go. but when I install apps again, problem rises again...
I'm having the same issue with the power off. It was working earlier but it looks like it stopped after I applied the htc update. I've been working all day and that's the only change
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
htc maybe do the same error like nexus one :/
I have issue even before update!! then how do u deal with the problem now???
what is the problem with nexus one???
to solve the wifi problem....
go to settings, then click on wireless and networks,
scroll down to wifi setting and click
On the wifi settings page touch the second capacitive button on the phone, then click on advanced settings..
On advanced settings page, change the wifi sleep policy to never..
This should solve your problem
same problem happened to me today, data reset the phone power off button problem will be resolved.
I'm having this problem now...and the wifi fix didn't work.
Any other ideas?

Found this surfing:
"Thank you for contacting HTC Technical support about the issue you are having with not being able to power off your device Amaze device. I do apologize that you have this issue with your device and I will gladly assist you with this today. You have security credentials checked, a password set,and Fastboot off. You must either turn off security credentials or enable Fastboot. For the Fast Boot option to work you will need to re-enable the Storage Credentials(under security settings) and enter the password once more. Then, enable Fast-Boot and you should be able to safely power cycle."
That last one worked for me. Not sure *which* - I turned on fastboot *and* turned on security credentials.
* edit *
But after the test reboot, it stopped working again...check settings, and security credentials is off - but fastboot is still on.
Turn on security credentials again, and the power button starts working.
I'm not going to re-re-reboot it, though...yet.

I just picked up my Amaze today. I had gotten a new SIM card just two weeks ago, but the TMO folks said I had to use the one that came with the Amaze because it supported the high speed downloads; older cards would not be as fast.

I have spotty 4G coverage here. My old phone was the HD2, which is 3g. Just today I happened to get into a 4G solid area and I loaded Google Maps - nearly instant load of terrain and satellite. Those would have taken several seconds on my HD2, or my wife's Exhibit II. So I think it is indeed faster if one lives in the right area.
I can't say what difference there is in SIM cards, because I have only had the new one that came with the Amaze in the device.
Its starting to bug me, especially the wifi while screen is off being disabled when I have not selected that anywhere. Also definitely feels spotty and doesnt load all my data right away when I turn screen on, like its slow. No way I should have to use keepalive app for wifi to remedy this. Bluetooth audio in my car sounds pretty bad. It cant just be my device as others have reported similar findings.
What are your thoughts, will you deal with this and just keep your device?
Have you possibly thought about another device?

Bluetooth audio in my car sounds pretty bad. It cant just be my device as others have reported similar findings.
What are your thoughts, will you deal with this and just keep your device?
Have you possibly thought about another device?

This phone is new. 1st software release for our ATT phones. Report those bugs to HTC/ATT, they will address it. Fixes will come in future updates if the devs dont fix them first. All new phones have bugs, all. They normally get fixed
It was also before but all started 2 years ago when they were fiddling with battery to last longer.
When you stream music WiFi to router and then amp when screen is off it can effect constant playback.
But you figured out what's caused it.
Even with mp3 not only heavy flacs.

Yes my bluetooth call quality is bad. My earpiece call quality is fuzzy and buzzes. Am I the only one?
*EDIT* After unrooting, relocking the bootloader, factory reset, all that fun stuff, the call quality finally corrected. Then got worse again. I figured out that it was my Google account screwing around with settings because whether you set it to or not, it tries to restore your previous settings. After wiping out that account and rebooting, call quality is wonderful.

Yes I was getting ready to go to the AT&T store to swap for one with a non defective earpiece. But I wiped my primary Gmail account from the phone, rebooted, plugged it in to charge for a little while so I could do some schoolwork and call quality was fine. So I don't know if it pulled over bad settings from my old inspire or what. Try the call quality while there is no Google account signed in after the reboot.

I tried it without any Google account set up. No luck for me. I even wiped my phone clean and did a factory reset just to test it out. Didn't work. Oh well.

I have no problem with Wifi. Just to clarify: You have the AT&T version, you run the phone as it was shipped and you run no task killer? If the Wifi disconnects the symbol in the notification bar disappears?

Lol, yes correct that how WiFi is suppose to work on devices. I have zero WiFi issues myself. When it's enabled and i connect to say my home wifi it appears on my device and stays connected all throughout my home. Flawless for me. When wifi is disconnected or turned off well of course it is no longer displayed on the notification bar, it's turned off or not connected, why would it still be displayed up there?

I just wanted to make sure that the lack of push notification that some see is really due to a disconnect of wifi. If the wifi symbol is still there and they don't get push notifications it is probably something else...I saw many people complaining about hardware defects and in 50% of cases it was because they used task killers or battery "optimizers" that disabled sync and other important processes.

Well, I was serious. Then after an overnight charge the problem started again. Still fuzzy and buzzy on the earpiece. More a problem with volume than frequency. Its the same as the bluetooth call quality. Reminds me of when A/V pregain is set far higher than postgain for manual distortion control. I think the values for volume amplification are screwed up somewhere. I like the phone, I just don't wanna deal with crappy call quality forever. I could even deal with the bootloader locking if the other issues would get fixed (well. I already have my code.). Got five days to make a call on keep it or exchange before the no questions asked 14 day exchange window for AT&T closes.
UPDATE: Update on the earpiece. I was just about to swap it out but then during the call it stopped buzzing and became clear. It did this when I took it away from my face and did something onscreen during the call. If it was a hardware issue, it would do it every call and during the whole call in my opinion.

I can link my EVO 4G LTE to HTC media link HD (got it for free from pre-ordering htc one). However, HTC ONE wouldn't connect to it without turning on the hotspot which I don't have. I was wondering if there's a way to fix this? Has anyone successfully link htc one to the media link hd?

Bump.
I have exact same issue.
Can't figure it out.
I really hope AT&T didn't rig it so we have to get Hotspot through them.

Ditto
Same issue - can't get it to work... and I'm a computer guy! haha.
Called ATT - they were obviously clueless and at first I needed to add hotspot, after refusing they transferred me to HTC. Setup a ticket with them. I'll get back with info once they contact me.
I suspect it's something to do with ATT's customization, surprise surprise.
Same issue - HTC One "2013 M7" at&t
I got it to work by tuning on airplane mode then tuning wifi back on. But once I turn airplane mode off it no longer works.

Not sure how to answer your question. Mine is stock. Android 4.1.2 HTC Sense 5.0. Is that what you are asking?

It should start with 1.xx.x.x
Yup I had this problem too. I'd try to connect and that damn message would cancel out anything I did with it. I tried freezing everything AT&T related through Titanium, but that didn't fix it, so it's part of the ROM.
I flashed a ROM from the international forums (Renovate 1.0) and now I'm able to connect just fine though!

As far as I can tell everything is working perfectly. All the AT&T bloatware is gone, as smooth/smoother than stock, transparent notification shade, back button as menu enabler, etc. Only thing missing is the 4G and LTE icons in the statusbar. I still have LTE I think (haven't tested), but the icons are just different, which isn't a big deal to me. I also dirty flashed this so I didn't lose any data and I haven't encountered any negative side effects.

Can you link us to where you got the files and/or if there are instructions on flashing this? Also I'd like to confirm this is the HTC One, not the One X, V, S or any other phones. I'm still trying to figure out why the hell HTC would call this the "One", other than to make it impossible to search for items for this phone vs the other phones. :-\
Also have you confirmed LTE is working?
Thanks!
P.S. Still haven't heard back from HTC/ATT, but I'd just assume blast away all the bloatware from the get-go.
Same problem here. First says check the input on my TV then says I need to enable hotspot. At one point I was able to connect long enough to change the name of the media link and it even displayed what was on my phone, but then the aforementioned dialogues popup and I am forced to click ok which puts the tv back at the media links initial screen. I've tried both wireless n and g as well as my Panasonic and Vizio tvs. Version number on the media link is 5.19.103.1

Yeah this is the HTC One. No way in hell would I be flashing a One X ROM on my One. The ROM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202696
Standard instructions for installing a ROM. Download the file (I used v1.0, not the nightlies), place it on SD card, boot into recovery, install .zip file.
- I said no when it asked to wipe my data before installation (it's an aroma installer).
Something else I just noticed, the media link is connecting to my wireless network and it displays the SSID and full signal strength. However, as soon as I try to push content to the TV, via the 3 finger swipe up, the wifi signal strength drops to nothing and it attempts to do the whole tethering nonsense. Also, "filter multicast" is in option on my router, but it is disabled. I figure I'll just keep this going since not everyone will want to flash a new ROM just to fix this.

I'm not sure when, but I'm sure HTC/AT&T will release an update to get this working properly. My Media Link is still 'pending shipment'.

Phil says his works but he has an older firmware on the media link
I've talked to both att and htc for a couple hours and both of them are casting the blame on the other.
att tried to tell me once that i needed a hot spot plan... until i explained the technology to them and said how my One X connects just fine without a sim card in it.... and they quickly take it back
eventually they both tell me there should be an update to fix it yada yada yada
Well hopefully someone will come up with a fix before then...I don't have much confidence in them patching it unless it's pretty widespread. Not many people complaining of it yet

i can already see AT&T behind this. Turn on hotspot, accuse users of using the hotspot, remove unlimited data plans. makes total sense to me.

Does he have the mobile hotspot plan? As a tech writer I'd imagine he would.
