My Atrix 4g was working fine and then I set it off the the side while I worked on some homework and when I came back and tried to unlock it, nothing happened, the screen remained black although I could flick the volume up and down switch and get a vibration and a sound, it seemed to me like the device was still on and working just the screen was black. I pulled the battery and when I put it back the phone refused to boot and showed a red LED. I waited 5 min and pulled the battery again and this time the phone booted up perfectly and is still working right now, is this something I should be worried about? Should I bring it back to the store for an exchange?
Definitely bring it back for an exchange

Do you happen to know the exchange policy at AT&T? I have no warranty, but I've only had it for a week or so.
Also how do you know its just not a small software glitch or something that is insignificant and was a one time thing? Or do you think I should bring it back just in case.

If you bought it from AT&T then you have 30 days to return/exchange it. Tell them there is a software issue where it forces your phone to turn off. To be safe, you could call their corporate customer service at "611" and tell them the situation and they will note your account about the situation that way the reps in the store cannot turn you away.

What if I bought it from RadioShack though? They had a sale where it was only $150.. xD
Btw mine is rooted and everything, how do they check for root anyways? And in order for me to exchange it I'm guessing I have to factory reset, would that undo the root?

Radioshack should have a similar policy. You should be able to check it online.
No, a restore will NOT remove root. Which root method did you use? I believe SOC and aRoot both have unroot options. I had to return my first Atrix as well and I used Root Explorer to uninstall SU before I ran the unroot script to make sure it would be removed.
I returned my bricked atrix to radio crap and they swapped no problem

I used aRoot, out of curiosity what was wrong with your first Atrix?
I did a quick google and no one seemed to have experienced the problem that I had with the blank screen, although there seem to be no other issues and its snappy as usual. If I decided just to keep this Atrix and not go through the hassle of returning and then downloading everything and setting my theme back up and a million other personalization things I did, do you think I would regret it later?
Oh and do you think it would have anything to do with the fact I dropped my phone? I was just chilling in class and it fell out of my pocket. Lol it was like a 2 foot drop onto tile face first, although there are no visible damages aside from a scratch in the corner thats minuscule and took me like 5 min to find.
Also, the issue didn't occur until like a couple hours after I dropped it.

I brought mine back because of software issues like the battery monitor displaying the phone as charging even though it was unplugged, screen brightness was changing even though I had the auto turned off, little things that I haven't experienced on my second phone.
With yours, if you feel comfortable enough to hold onto it for awhile longer I don't see any harm in that. Radioshack gives you 30 days. There have been random reboot issues on some of the Atrix's so it might not be anything serious. I've had a couple issues with the screen freezing on me, which what could have happened on yours.

Well mine didn't randomly reboot, and the screen didn't freeze, it just blanked for awhile, I don't think its serious enough to constitute my phone as a "lemon". I'll probably end up holding on to it and seeing if anything else happens and if not then just keep it. Thanks for all the help though! :]
And if anyone else has experienced this issue or something similar, it would be awesome if you could share your experience.
So heres the story, My Mom was due for an upgrade. We researched and researched until we were about MAD. And we finally decided on the Droid x2. She finally recieved it in the mail today and we got it activated. The thing is buggy as mess. You can simply unlock the phone and it randomly brings menus, the internet browser, and apps up at will. It brings up the power off and Air plane mode options when the power button has not even been touched. Heck, it even pulls up the Calender app when you click on the Market Application. She is very dissapointed and we don't know what to do. Should she:
1. Maybe wait for an OTA that addresses these issues?
2. Do a factory reset?
3. Return the phone and get a refurb/different phone?

Return the phone and get another brand new one. There's definitely something wrong with the touch screen. You can try a factory reset first, if you like.
Indeed - Do #2 while calling Verizon for a #3 replacement. It sounds like you got a seriously screwy X2!
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I think I fixed it! I read earlier on droid forums that Moto Blur is bad at memory management so I downloaded Advanced task killer and killed all the apps currently running. Since I have done that no weird things have happened.
EDIT: NEVERMIND!!! UGH..
Definitely exchange it. Sounds like you got a bad phone. The X2 should not be acting like that at all.
you still have a problem / issues
task killer is not the answer
Ok guys its all good now. I got on the phone with Verizon and they told me to take it to my local Verizon store for a replacement. After a head ache of a time with a bunch of goobers who didn't even know how to use the blasted things beside doing a factory reset we got a brand new x2. Its running like a dream with absolutely no problems. She loves it!
Thanks for your help!
I have random reboots just got it off the charger and rebooted.i was with t mobile and had g2x that had similar issue if it continues I will return it.

I just got mine today. I had 3 droid x's that had to be exchanged due to DOA warranty replacements. They finally sent me a DX2. It would not activate. When i touched the droid it went thru the activator and constantly pushed the one key. there was no keypad on the screen. they are sending me another one. somehow i took it to the verizon store and the guy just touched it and it worked fine. Now i get it home and its laggy as hell. I think im going to send the first one back and keep the replacement. Anyone have issues with this as of yet?

Exactly what was happening to my Mom's DX2. Phone was imputing commands when the screen was not being touched. Took it up to Verizon and it worked beautifully for the guy. We waited till the manager came and she got us a replacement. Its working great.
Well i have had it up to my ears in these replacements. Im really getting to know the fedex guy. while i was seeing if anyone else had these problems the phone screen started going glitchy on me. It was blinking and went to the dialer and the browser just sitting on my desk. I think there is only one alternative to this. The customer service manager will call me tomoro to check if i have everything working. I can almost guarantee it will not be. either she exchanges it for something else with a 4.3 inch screen. they told me that it can only be exchanged for something in the same range and they offered me a vortex. I dont know how they even compare in the same universe. I think ill complain enough and go to the store and see about getting another phone, or i will just take my business over to sprint (which they can see from their store in the mall) and get a nexus or an evo. Im tired of this replace after replace bull. Anyone else have these thoughts?
Got my evo yesterday, and last night while I slept the phone locked up requiring a battery pull, then did it again someone before I woke up.
Anyone had any issues with this? I was running juice defender on default setting, but not sure how that would affect anything

i didn't have those kind of issues, but my Notification bar wouldn't scroll down when i syped the screen and my home buttons wouldn't respond.
took it to sprint showed them the issue then the issue went away, they ran a diagnostic test on the device nothing came back wrong with it even after wiping the phone it would randomly do it. So they gave me a new device since then no problems.
The store basically told me it wasn't in their list of issues, so he couldn't do anything
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Tell them you'll just return the phone then. You want a new one they need to give you it.
I've had my phone for a week and I was having wake problems at random times each day. I did a hard reset on the phone with Sprint tech support three days in, and I also did a factory reset with a rep from HTC in online chat a day or two later. When I pulled my phone out of my purse to make a call today, it wouldn't wake up again so I brought it back to the Sprint store and they replaced it since I had already done everything they could have done for me there.
I'd just try to talk to another rep... good luck!

Don't listen that that. You just paid for a brand new device, which should work perfectly. It seems as though you have a defect in yours, and you're within the 30 days from purchase date. Under Sprint's 30 day return policy, you are entitled to exchange it for a properly working device, or just return it and tell the guy to go chew on marbles. Then go buy a new one from a different Sprint store.

didn't lock up last night and has been up about 12 hours now without a boot

finally it kept locking up and a few resets today so the manager at the store replaced it (next time I'm going straight to the manager, sheesh)
I don't mind (and expect) other little bugs, but my phone locking up (which is WORSE than resetting, because alarm clocks won't go off, etc and I was late for work) is a major problem when it happens half a dozen or more times a day
the new one has been doing much better though
I've had the phone for 5 days, and I've gotten about 5 restarts.
It happens when I'm doing something. Playing with ring tones, playing a poker game app...
Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else, and if it's hardware or software related.
EDIT: 9/29/2011
I've had the phone for about 2 weeks now. The past week, I've not had any restarts. Don't know what's changed. I think there was an OTA update about last week. I"ve been using it as much as I had been - web browser, angry birds, email, etc...
Oh, about last week I also re-seated the battery. Don't know if that does anything, since the battery seem like it was seated fine. But someone recommended it. Could just be a fluke.
So, one way or another, the random restarts seem to have solved itself.
Me also
Had mine for about a week and has rebooted at least 5 times. Phone seems to hang and then rebooted.
I am coming from an EVO which never had these problems. Thought about trying a Samsung or another Photon
Yea, just yesterday when I was using my flashlight app for a few minutes. It has mostly happened when I used the led flash as a flashlight. It doesn't matter which app I use, it just restarts sometimes.
And also when I was playing a game today.

None for me after 3 weeks.
My EVO 3D used to do it once in a while when it would lose a signal.
Those who don't have random restarts hardly at all...are you installing apps and using the phone fairly heavily?
I'm wondering if this is a hardware of software issue.
Try re-seating your battery and make sure the back is on good.I was having the restart issue and it ended up being that the rep that initially started the phone up didn't put the battery door on correctly.

Exactly. I've only had one random restart, after the OTA, but I chalk it up to the heat wave where I was working. Poor Mo-Pho got up to 119 degrees.
I would also suggest a factory reset and wipe of the internal SD, a lot of times the testing of each phone before they're put in the box can cause issues.
Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

no problems here. love this phone!
Me I am facing this issue since I got the phone I am at that point of replace the unit or order other phone!
What do you think?
I am really so pissed how is that you see only good comments on this phone and no body mention this known issue on thos youtubbie crappy videos...
I cant believe that I paid good money for this phone and I am not the only one with the issue. Sad thing no body know if this is HW or Sorftware!
I have no problem fixing the software... we really need the hackers spending some time debugging this issue.
Had my phone for a month, and have had 3. I am a heavy user so I expect it. Best phone I ever had.

Ive had my phone for about a month, probably had 7 or 8 restarts total since I got it, two in one day during the first week but it seems better after the second OTA update. For the past two weeks I've only had two restarts. Each time it restarted I was playing angry birds and had let the phone got to sleep while in the middle of playing. When I woke it up it restarted. Sounds software related to me. Im rooted but not unlocked. I love this phone!
I get over 1 a day. Its sad. Def gonna get a replacement when I get the time

I get atleast one a day. I don't notice because at home I set my phone down a lot. It gets worse when im on the phone surfing the web. Then it seems to do it more often. Yesterday it rebooted three times in one hour. It gets annoying but im past my 30 days to return plus Sprint doesn't have any other phone that interests me.

I have the reboot issue, but I have narrowed it down. DEVS TAKE A LOOK!!
So far I can get a 100% repro of this issue if
1. I am on WIFI for DATA and make or receive a call.
2. then leave WIFI area and attempt to call out, TXT or use 3G data.
3. phone will reboot every time when that occurs.
60% repro of reboot issue with the fallowing.
1. make or receive call with WIFI on but not attached to network.
2. go into WIFI range of a known(not new!) WIFI hotspot and phone attaches to WIFI on it's own.(this will sometimes cause the WIFI, 3G, and phone signal to all appear in the task bar at the same time)
3. make a phone call, txt or turn off WIFI then attempt to use 3G data and phone will reboot.
Also this is VERY IMPORTANT!! The conditions above will not cause the reboot on it's own. If you have data updates off or leave WIFI off all day then you might never see this. Also VERY important if you receive a call when attached to WIFI and then use your phone for data only you will not get the reboot right away it may take upto 30-40 min. Also important, if you attempt to do either repro above via making a phone call you will see the dialer get stuck at "connecting" in the upper left hand side, but it will never go to "connected" and hitting anything on the dialer or the back button will not help only home, but you will notice nothing on the phone will work anymore. This will ultimately lead to a reboot!
Here is the problem as I have trouble shot the living crap out of this and it seem that either the voice/3G radio is locking up or the dialer is crapping out.
Also on a side note that when the dialer is stuck on "connecting" if you force stop the dialer it does nothing, but if you force stop the "dialer storage" it will kill the dialer, but you will still get a reboot at some point after that.
So now we know where to look at for this issue. Can any of the devs look into this as I am not sure where to go from here, but this IS the problem everyone is seeing and can be hardware or software.
OK, I posted in the "What don't you like about Photon" thread I was tired of people complaining about the same crap. I'm not going to complain (Yet) and when I get home, I'm putting the Photon back to Sprint Stock for a minute..............
@ 1.5 months ago, I had a friend over the house. She wanted Pizza. After @ 2 minutes of me dicking with Photon, she opened app on HTC Inspire, ordered Pizza and even got confirmation call and I STILL had screen freezing and app not open.
Me and same friend went to Hockey Game Sunday where my job had a suite. I took her phone and took picture of her and mascot. I took me 30 seconds to get my camera ready and no freaking clue what happen to picture. File size is 0! Not to mention 1 hour later after 8 pictures, battery was at 20% and I had to shut it off. She snapped all night (was at 10% when we left, but she made it)
Today in company IT meeting with 80+ people, damm thing IPL'ed into Bootstrap Recovery mode. 10 minutes to get out of Otterbox with no tools so I could pull battery out. Then when I put it back in, it got so hott I pulled the battery again. It was so hott i juggled like hot potato which brought unwanted attention.
Again, I'm going back to Sprint Stock.

I've been running rooted stock since I got my phone. and have had none of those problems.
Yes - if you're having those issues, you should go back to stock.
Either your phone is defective or you have done something to it that is creating conflict. I have had the Photon since day 1 release, stock rooted, and nothing even close to that has ever happened to me. Phone is responsive as well and never gotten that hot.

I got it 9:00AM August 2nd. It could be (and likely is) conflict, which is why I'm going back to bare stock. Although it has many features and app's, at the end of the day, I'm on call and need a phone.
As for getting hot, I have no freaking clue what that was about. When I had my Evo, tethering made it get warm. This was actually HOT and I dropped 50% on battery in a matter of minutes? I seriously pulled the battery and sat everything on the floor!

I wouldnt put apps on the SD card. I had problems with things disappearing and stuff when I tried it.
OK boys and girls, first I dumped all my photos off the phone. I then formatted the SDCard, I then erased internal storage with took me 2.5 hours before I pulled the battery. I then did internal storage again and it took 3 minutes.
Now here is the odd thing.........I really, technically, did not lose squat. All of my apps were still there, just not installed. My e-mail, contacts, etc. all remained. Even my Bluetooth stayed paired. The only thing I did was turn on wireless, go to Andriod Market, and go thru 128 Apps and put them back (no, I did not want to use the restore of Titanium Backup. That would put the curroupt crap back)
And this is the REAL killer, I went to bed at 10:30PM with Photon un-plugged with BT and WiFi on. I woke up to 80% charge!!! something was definately wrong before and I think me moving apps to card was it!!
Anyway, so far so good!!
