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+.

Hello.
Thanks for replying. I tried the battery manager, I changed to performance and that didn't help. Within 5 minutes I was disconnected.

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.

Does Golf Logix work on the 3vo? It works well on my og-evo, and just want to know if I can continue to use it on the 3d. It's not listed on the supported devices on their website, but I'm hoping its just because its a new phone. Can someone please install it, or at least see if it shows up on the market?
Thanks!

Thanks, but I use Golf Logix and have a membership for it, so I want to know if that specific app works.
I installed the og evo trial version, it seems to run fine.
When I try to use Golflogix, it gives an error message and then puts the 3d into airplane mode. It will work with 4g however.

don't know why but it does it everytime. A big"X" above the signal strength bars.
This isn't going to answer your question directly...
I have Golf Card and have since the Samsung Moment days. The key to these programs working seems to be the accuracy of the GPS. The Moment was always 100ft. off. The Evo and E3d are accurate to within 6ft. Golf Card works very well on my E3d. I would suspect if the Golf Logix has an issue, they would release a revised version to support the E3d.
I just pulled it from the market. It did the same thing to my 3d. It threw it in airplane mode. I deleted it immediately. Check out Golf Card. It has a one time fee and is very, very accurate. Uses google maps. I've compared it to my skycaddie (which I no longer use), friends gps devices, and laser and I'm very happy with the results.

This happened to me also, I just didn't associate it with the app since I have bad reception here and it stayed like that even after I uninstalled the app. I had to restart the phone.
The app ran smoothly for me though.

You don't need to restart the phone, just hold down the power button and turn airplane mode off.

I bought this app a couple of days ago and it hasn't worked once for me. The first day, whenever I tried to browse or search for a forum, it would say "retrieving from server" and just get stuck there. I thought they were just having server issues but I'm getting the same thing today.
Tried emailing the developer but haven't received a response back. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yep, my Tapa does this sammmme thing too. It'll have TONS of blank posts after the OP post and anytime I touch the blank ones, I get an FC. I also have the issues with the server sometimes too. I just refresh it until it loads and that makes it work. Annoying at best, but sometimes it works just fine.
Update is better, but with BBC code enabled, links don't work. Only issue and now we can like or thank post.
Edit: actually, all is now working.

I'm getting those same issues too. Also, it seems like I get a lot of double posts from people back to back as well. Did the clear data trick and it seems to help for a couple of days.
And LOL at the 28k Sprint 3G network comment. I can't get over a 100k just about anywhere in town, much less any 4G coverage. I swear I think they're throttling it just to get everybody used to using wifi.
I paid for Tapatalk, and have used it a lot in the past. However, it sucks now, and I consider it completely unusable. I am getting all these crazy issues lately as well, yet it worked fine last month.
Another thing i have never understood:
I, for one, have no idea what it means to 'enable BBC code', or what the '3G compatibility mode' actually does.. Apparently Tapatalk doesn't want me to know either, because there's no documentation ANYWHERE in the app, or on their website that explains it. Is it some big effing secret? I'm done with it, using regular XDA app instead.

I think the "enable BBC code" means you'll be able to understand cheeky British comedy shows and obscure documentaries.
Actually, you're right, it's worthless because I thought it meant things like smilies would show up, but I see nothing but :smileycode: on most of them, and forget any of the animated ones on other forums.

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?

Does anyone have a solution to the power-button issue? It will shut off the screen, but wont prompt anything if you long press the power button.
---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------
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 was thinking of getting the HTC Amaze.... like, next week, currently have the MyTouch 4g and was going to give it to my brother, but have been reading issues with the power button, over heating, BT loss, no wifi calling..... anyone having these issues as well?

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.
Alright, so as a techie, I understand that software can be buggy. I understand that updates fix and improve things over time, but sometimes do the opposite. I understand that I should put up with the occasional reboot. However, I DO NOT understand why the hell I cannot use my phone. I am tired, I am pissed, and I have exhausted the thought of how much I regret trading in my evo 3D. Yes, the LTE Evo has a lot of RAW power, but what good is that if I cannot freaking use it?
So, *ahem*, after my angry rant, here is what has been going on with my phone (and getting increasingly worse) for the last month:
4G my a$$ - I live in Houston, one of the the first markets that was supposed to get 4G. The Wimax network, which was aleady spotty, is still a lot more present in Houston than the so called Sprint LTE deployment. Look, I am a patient guy, but when my 3g speeds cannot go past DIAL UP then we have a big problem. Am I seriously paying 230 dollars a month so that four smartphones have DIAL UP speeds? Cmon, Sprint!!
People (HTC stock app) - it does not work. every once in a while, it will start working, but for the past month, I can only dial numbers on my call history. The problem? When I open the app and search through contacts, everything is dandy. But when I click on a contact, I get a black screen. It is a screen where the top notification bar still shows, and the latter still responds, but right below it is just dark. If i click home button, it does go back to home. However, clearing the cache, rebooting, etc, does nothing to get the app working. That's right. Reboot does not work.
Google Play - It ALSO does not work. So you can kinda search through it up until the point I click on an app. At that point, the whole thing freezes and my only choice is to exit out by pressing the home button. Moreover, reboot also does NOT work.
Gmail app. - Please see the last two points. Exact same problem. Except this time, when you click it to open the app, it simply takes me to a white screen. And that's it. Reboot also does NOT work, nor does clearing cache, etc.
:
So, am I alone in this? I do not know what to think. Since around 2008-9ish, when I first got an Android phone, I have never hated a device so much in my life. The worst part is, it used to work. And then it used to heat up a lot. And then right after a meaningful vacation with my wife, it had a sudden death (the screen literally went off when I was using it, never to turn on again. And according to my forum research, I was not the only one who suffered this "sudden death syndrome") losing all my pictures. And then Best buy black tie's thingie got me a new one, which is the one I have now...with a gazillion problems. Thoughts, or recommendations?

I never stick with stock roms. I always unlock/root my phones so I can get the best experience. Haven't had ANY of the problems you listed except LTE, but you can't do much about that until the towers are updated/upgraded.
I am alright with 2,3 and 4 and not worried.
I totally agree with you on # 1 ! Man, I just hate my new phone right now. I can get LTE speed here, BUT .. it does not hang onto the signal. Even when I am a few blocks of the tower ! Sprint or HTC have to adjust the treshole.
I was so happy with my 3D. I was able to Skpye w my relatives even when I was inside a room bc the 4G (not LTE) was great!
I do understand about paying $280 for 4 lines at dial up speed!
Right now I am frustrated of Sprint lying to us. 5 cities are ready for LTE, yet the deployment is only 20% complete !!!
The issues you list could all be related to network vision upgrades....
Have you tried switching the phone from lte/cdma to cdma only?
There are areas in Dallas that I have to do that in. Speeds went from horrible to avg .8 mb down and .6 up

I think its time for a replacement ..only issue I have is the multitasking
All of those problems seem fixable by clearing data and the likes. the only real issue is the LTE.
Im in KC. At my house on the eastern side of the city I get solid LTE service as of sometime last week or so. Haven't run a speedtest under 8mbps down. Look at the phone, LTE is always there.
Then I drive to work. Not 2 miles from sprint headquarters. 3g is abysmal. I can get 4g if i stand in the right spot outside. Nothing inside though. And when I see that LTE I don't pull more then 1.5mbps down. All part of the upgrade process.
Once you get it the phone becomes a whole new beast. And first run cities are supposed to be totally completed by what? December.. At least in KC.
So the reason your signal is such crap just means that your LTE is coming. Once it does, it's worth it.
Don't have any of your probs except the gmail prob. Seems to happen when its downloading mail and switches from 3g to 4g. Clearing gmail ussually solves it, once I had to login into gmail on my pc and delete the last email, everything worked after that. Not sure what it was about that email...

Ha! My wife's iphone is just as useless as my EVO. Please...
Alright so it seems most of you do not have the problem that I have with the apps having white screen of death, so I keeo being told it is a multitasking problem.. i have already cleared cache and all that, killing apps with task killer, rebooting, etc, but that did not do anything. In which other ways I can solve the mukltitasking issue?

You can't, short of installing an AOSP ROM.

By the time Sprint finish deploying their 5 cities in December to 100%, in another few months after that, another new model of LTE is OUT!
So what do you get out of these LTE phones that are out now ??????????????????????????
Can you see this ?
Mine has been doing this too, a reboot and wiping your dalvik-cache should fix it for awhile.
As for the network speed though, that you'll just need to call and yell at sprint about.
I'm bummed about the speeds so far (in Chicago). I seemed to have better speeds with my Evo 4G (3g service mind you, obviously WiMax will be better than the LTE)
I rooted and lazy pandy s-off immediately. However I just loaded a custom rom after 3 weeks of use (was happy for the most part with stock). Loaded Meanrom ICS and I'm very happy with it. Small bug here and there but definitely glad I did. No major issues plus you get quick settings and a working google wallet plus other things.
Try a different custom rom, it may solve your os/ui-related woes
