Problems..
I have flashed my phone to cm7 stable version and was using fine until today. It has been a week. But today all of sudden my screen died. So im thinking it is bcuz my phone is old and maybe i did too much flashing that im no too sure. So i replaced my screen since i work at cell.phone store.. So the first 3 hrs worked fine but after 3hrs it stopeped.working again..my screen died again. Does anybody know or had this issue. One thing im thinking might gave this issue to.my phone is i had my brightness auto on and had custom settings changed. I just want if anybody with custom lighting had this issue? Thx

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me....I'm getting kind of desperate here! Basically my Atrix keeps randomly rebooting or getting stuck with the screen off (requiring a batter pull) . This happens about 10-20 times a day (my Atrix is far too unreliable right now to use as a daily). This seems to ONLY happen when on network (ie 2g/3g/hspa) and doesn't seem to happen on wifi. I can leave it on all night and day at home on wifi happily with no trouble but as soon as I go to work and leave it on network, the trouble starts. Its weird cause if the phone is doing something with the screen off (playing and streaming music over Bluetooth for example) it won't have any problems. Its only once I leave it at rest on the network that it turns into the most unreliable handset ever.
At first I thought it may be the neutrino rom I was running but I've since been using jokersax's amazing ics builds and the same problem persists. I did a full clean (format /data & /system plus cache and factory wipe ) and loaded on the latest beta build this morning, left it clean with zero apps except google (and xda!) and within an hour of getting to work the problem came back.
I am fully boot loader and network unlocked.
Please, if anyone has any idea I would be really grateful. I am tearing my hair out!

It is happening with me too, but, I dont realize it on happen on mobile data connection
Since i flashed beta 0.1.0 2d of Jokersax's ICS and come out of home
Today, for 5 times I have to pull battery out of Atrix
Why not try a more stable ROM first and see if you get reboots.You do realize some phones just cannot handle unstable roms like the cm9 builds even though they are great for some ppl it just doesn't workout also maybe you are using an oc kernel that your phone cannot handle.I would check both things first.
Try some a bit more stable.
cm7 ba2ft
wetdream
darkside
gingermod
If you get the same with those then maybe fastboot wipe and stuff like that so you can clear everything out
EDIT: flash a radio too

Hey,
Thanks, I'm going to try Gingerblur tonight... I had ruled that out as I have used darkside/gingerblur before and apart from the occasional reboot they were OK. The reboot was OK really, I know its a known issue with this model even with unrooted handsets, as long as its occasional and clean boots back to system again it doesn't really matter as I don't pin lock my sim (currently my problems are either a reboot every three minutes as soon as I switch the screen off... or, more commonly, the dead screen, needing that battery pull) .
I *suspect* that it may be the radio, but really need some solid advice on this because a couple of years ago I completely bricked my G1 by flashing the wrong radio and vowed never to touch radios again if I didn't have to....I am naturally very hesitant about radio flashing from that episode. Can anyone give me some decent advice on which radios i should be looking at for an unlocked ( but formerly Orange UK) Atrix? One very nervous owner here!
The other weird thing is that is perfectly fine when on a power source.

Hang on, I'm not making sense here, maybe it is these advanced ROMs, I was just surprised that neutrino (a cm7 based rom) also produced these reboot problems. Anyway, any advice on radios would be appreciated

As long as you flash atrix radios only you should be okay. I flashed just about every applicable radio on my brother's captivate and never bricked it.
I agree with you and previous posters, it sounds like a radio issue for sure.

I have the same problem with my Atrix running cm7 ba2ft. Sometimes it does not respond when you try to unlock, and I need to take out the battery to turn it on again. I bought the phone couple of weeks ago.
another thing to look at would be the battery my friend had similar problems with his nexus and tryed Roms and radios I bought him a new battery as a joke and the joke ended up on me cause he hasn't had the problem since let me know if this helped you aswell

Same problem here. Very aggravating.
I am having the same problem. And I am 100% stock with no mods. I just installed OTA 2.3.6 so I am waiting to see if that helped.
Yeah, I'm really worried this is a hardware problem - I've been quiet these past couple of days testing the brand new GB radio and when that still had errors i then also tried the European one - the problem still persists. I have now downloaded every Atrix radio under the sun now so may try a few more...
This is quite frustrating as a) I really want to enjoy ICS as it really is a step up from previous versions of Android and b) I no longer have the option of selling this in its current state.
I'm also going to try a new battery as WikidClown suggested above, can't harm....I can pick up one on Amazon for less than a tenner.
One thing is for sure, I don't think I will be buying Moto hardware again!

OK, so does anyone have any ideas? I have tested it using a load radios...and still nothing, it still randomly reboots. This is possibly the most unreliable handset I have ever owned

Have you tried fastboot wipe? Maybe format internal SD and start fresh. Haven't had this issue just trying to help.

I have formatted /system and /data etc between ROM changes, how would I do a fastboot wipe? I'm willing to try anything at this point!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Actually, scratch that, I know exactly how to do that...except I can't boot into fastboot. Is this indicative of something wrong? Will I have to go back to SBF?

i baught my atrix used. everything was stock. still had multiple reboots and battery pulls daily. on cm9 they seem to happen less. and the battery pull only happened once. but i know the issue must still be there. might try my wifes battery. her atrix has rebooted maybe 5 times ever. 3 since this last official update (she is still lock stock and 2 smoking barrels)
OK, trying a new battery is my last hope...I did a fastboot wipe this morning and for an hour and a half it was all going so well...but then the reboot happened.
I'm getting a bit fed up with this pos hardware...I can't even sell this thing in this state.

Anyone have any other experiences? I have confirmed that it isn't the battery...I bought a new batter and within 45 minutes it has rebooted once and done the screen off thing where it needs a battery pull. Complete crap.
One thing to note is that it does seem to get very warm on the back, although the internals ( behind the battery) don't seem so bad. Is there any way to keep the temp down aside from underclocking? All my roms have always been under clocked so I know that doesn't make any difference.
The other thing I might try is to use something like Noled so the phone isn't completely idle. Might drain the battery a bit unnecessarily though....why couldn't Moto have put in an amoled screen?
Anyway, will report back once I've tried it.

I used to get tons of random reboots and then I was told to get the app called "Wake My Android Pro". Settings -> Test Activity -> Auto Startup, and Stop Activity checked. Weird settings, I know, technically with stop activity checked it doesn't do anything, but ever since then I don't experience random reboots. This was a few months ago when I was on just CM7. I've always installed this app when I get a new rom and I've tried Neutrino, Darkside, Alien, Aura, CM7, Wet Dream, and currently on joker's CM9 beta 1 build and RARELY experience random reboots. It went from once an hour to once a month now. I'm also on the .36p radio if that helps.

Cheers, have downloaded and will report back. The most annoying thing about troubleshooting a problem like this is that there is no immediate 'it worked or 'it didn't work' ....it's just a waiting game! Thanks a lot though, really hope it does work (and thanks for replying, was starting to feel like I was answering threads to myself!). I have .36 radio installed already (I think, will check...it's the Brazilian one isn't it?) .
Just to check then...you have all the check boxes in wake my android ticked?

How stable is the cm10 18/04 ? I flashed the one before it and it would gave black screens and it would not let me download any music or documents from internet.
Try Chris's CM10 0.05.3, I've been using it for a few days now with no reboots or SODs.

Same with the sgt7 they use same kernel.

So they are both stable? because i tried sgt7 as I mentioned and it had download problems and I also tried another one Called alien Droid that was cm10 based and it also gave me the same problems
.....btw I did wipe cache and dalvinik cache and wiped.....

I have flashed the last three releases of sgt7 cm10 and am very pleased battery life is exceptional on the 8/10 build and i don't recall any freezing or reboots happening ... now on the 3rd day using it.
..Note using twrp recovery..

I,average about two to three BSODs every other day. When they occur they seem to cluster, so I get a few, stops happening, and everything runs smooth for the next few days. Other than that, this rom has been smooth as silk and stable as can be.

Kernel is based on cm10 kernel but not the same example 1.2ghz, new i/o schedulers etc
Have you had any trouble downloading anything or is that just me?

Taking the plunge with the sgt7 cm10 2012-10-08 ROM
I just finished installing the 2012-10-08 ROM, and wanted to report my experience so far.
My Nook Tablet was already rooted and running CM7. I have been waiting to make the move to JB once the stability of the various ROMs seemed to be improving, and the recent work seemed promising. Thus, I decided to dive on in.
Here are the steps I took:
1. Downloaded 08/10 ROM, JB gApps, and CWM as referenced in the OP. Moved them over to my SD card.
2. From Rom Manager on the NT, I booted into recovery and flashed the new CWM. Rebooted the tablet.
3. Booted back into recovery again, did a factory reset (format data/ and cache/), then formatted Dalvik cache as well.
4. Flashed the 08/10 ROM.
5. Flashed JB gapps.
6. Rebooted the tablet.
After a short while, the OS booted up. I connected to my local WiFi, and then I configured the tablet with my Google account info, installed necessary apps, etc.
Everything seemed to work very well until the screen automatically turned off after the tablet stood idle for a while. Pressing the N button or power button did not turn the screen back on. I assume that this is the dreaded "Sleep of Death" (SOD) I have heard so much about.
I held down the power button for 10 seconds or so, released it, then held the power button down until the tablet rebooted. I thought that maybe turning WiFi off before it slept might help, so I experimented a bit, and it did seem to work.
I'm home now, and the battery life of the ROM seems very nice so far. I am playing around again with WiFi left on before it sleeps, to see if I can reproduce the same problem, but so far it is waking back up and working just fine.
All in all, it is a very impressive ROM, and I am glad (so far) that I decided to take the plunge!
Bug with 4/10 version
hi,
i also want to report few bugs with version 4/10: before i went to bed, and charged my NT 16G. from the screen, it confirmed that the charging started. but next morning when i checked again, the battery is still at the same level.
this means that it doesnt really charge, even it said the charging was under-way.
i can confirm that the charge cable was properly connected to my NT, so this is a software bug i think.
Besides, it seems i have the SOD problems sometimes. i tried to reboot, but the power button didnt seem to work. finally, i removed the microSD card, and it seemed to help to reboot my NT. another problem???
thanks.
I think I have to revise my endorsement. The 4/10 rom without enhancements is a buttery smooth, very reliable, daily driver. BSODs are rare, wifi dropping rarely happens. The enhancement pack and the 8/10 rom do fix the wifi dropping and imprive battery performance. Unfortunately they also seem to break a fairn number of apps, including com2us, scrabble, and words with friends I also experienced video freezing. on youtube and netflix. Also memory use seemed higher and I had to frequently (4 or 5 x per day) run fix.permissions to prevent force.closings.on apps . That ended up being a deal breaker, I ended up reverting back to the 4/10, the enhancements ended up causing more headaches then they fixed.
Still, the 4/10 is easily the most stable, functional rom currently running on the tablet. Huge thanks to everyone.who worked on this.
Just a quick update on the 2012-10-08 ROM. Last night, I picked up my NT after having it sit for a couple hours, and pressed the "N" button to wake it back up. The screen turned on, and I briefly saw a notification message scroll up top that said something along the lines of, "SD card unexpectedly removed", and then the tablet rebooted.
I saw that someone else had a similar issue on the DEV thread, and just wanted to confirm that I, too, seem to be having the same problem.

I've found that manually disabling Wifi before sleeping prevents the sdcard issue. The I have no idea why they seem related but it works here on 04/10 that way.

Thanks for the confirmation of my suspicion. It seeps that disabling WiFi before sleeping also prevents the SOD issues, so I will just try to remember to do that when I use it.
I recently flashed a number of Jelly Bean roms, MeanBean, Stock w/goodies, to name a few and am noticing the proximity sensor issue plaguing my phone (screen shuts off as soon as call is initiated, and then won't come back on unless the power button is pressed and I can see the proximity light is stuck on). After doing some research, I cannot seem to find a fix for this and it appears to be a Jelly Bean issue as this never happened when on earlier roms, seeming to ruling out a hardware issue. I decided to try to flash back to Viper 2.02 as I had relatively good luck with that rom as far as stability, performance, battery life, etc. However, when I flash the Viper 2.02 rom, all seems well but my wifi will not turn on, it just gets stuck saying "turning on wifi. " Also, my phone does not recognize any media on my sd card (music, videos, photos). I am currently s-off with dirty racun and am wondering what is causing these issues. I have wiped fully, reflashed, redownloaded, over and over and nothing fixes this. Anyone have any input??

Hi,
i am currently on a nightly cm13 build. before i had the same issue on the snapshot build.
Used also different kernels but with the same results.
Issue is shown in the video below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI43XX0WIpY
This happens probably once a day and only when i am waking up the phone from deepsleep with the fingerprint sensor.
The screen keeps being black for a second when this happens. When i turn off the screen and wake it up again, everything is fine.
What do you think, hardware or software issue?
EDIT: Just found out, that it could be potentially a LiveScreen issue on cm13
EDIT2: No, LiveScreen is not the problem
I'm also facing this issue. Are you using any custom kernel?
I'm using the Blaze kernel.
Yes, was using Blaze kernel as well but i tried different others as well.
I am now on Exodus ROM without these issues.
Seems to be a cm bug.
I've had the issue also while charging my phone last night.
CM13 with Redon kernel.
Scared the sh*t out of me...
I have a screen flickering bug too, i revert to MIUI then. But, flickering still.
Repairing to the counter now.

i know its long time ago, but could you repair the device?
screen glitches
same problem, flickering and mistyping too. Please anyone resolve, this has happened after the latest update
I had this issue, rom and kernel reinstall solved the problem. Maybe something is cached/crashed or both (the phone acted weird other ways too, random apps crashed and so on), before reinstall wipe cache, dalvik, data and system, then install the latest versions of the rom and kernel you want to use. Don't forget to flash firmware.
Since I did this everything is fine.
