Phone do strange things - Atrix 4G General

Has anyone else's ATRIX started acting up since they gave us the ota update notice? I have not updated yet but since getting the notifications starting yesterday my phone has since rebooted about ten times and my gps will no longer lock on.

Is it still acting up?

Yeah, my phone has been running really slow and eating through battery since the update notice appeared on my phone. I haven't updated yet because my phone is rooted and haven't had time to unroot it to upgrade.

Do you have setcpu or a OC kernal by any chance?
I am having this happen also... I have had to remove my battery three times today to reboot the phone.
I have set CPU installed, is that a bad idea?
I'm rooted with just the stock OS, no mods at all and my phone will randomly reboot every two or three days.

Mine has the new rom the leaked one and does this so often like after every 2-3 songs. Did it with the stock rom too.

No, I'm rooted with straight stock. No set CPU or anything of that nature. But like I said even then ill get complete freezes and then a reboot. Or occasionally ill attempt to open an app and the phone will reboot!!

did you wipe your SD cards when you flashed the new rom? I don't have this behavior but I did have FC's and such because of some files on the SD. I have NONE of this behavior. Something is wrong for you, nothing is wrong with JI2 and freezing/rebooting.

I used to have this problem all the time too whenever I tried to use the gps, but since I've applied the leaked update that problem has gone away. But it seems like you're experiencing the issue at more random times. Have you noticed any particular pattern? For example, whenever you try to play music in the background and read a website at the same time.

Yup mine is bone stock not Rooted and it will lock up just siting there GPS, wireless and Bluetooth off in a very good signal area.
Same here on both roms. I thought the lag fix was causing the freeze. But now im stock jit2 and root.
Had the same with gps and maps with old firmware.

I haven't had this issue happen since I applied the flashable gps fix. Maybe it was an issue with an app that wanted to use GPS running in the background?
This has happened to me several times while booting gps and only recently started happening while playing pandora, but not as frequent as while using the gps...not rooted

Mine has only frozen up once and it was at the end of a call screen turned off. I hit power and went to go unlock and it turned off again.. Would not turn back on but I know the phone was still on since I had apmobile enabled and it was still transmitting wifi connection. Oh I was using eugene's FrankenTwiz (underclocked to 400mhz)when it happened but same thing happened to my girlfriend and she had hybrid r3. Other than phone runs fine.
Ive had some odd reboots where I dont get a shutdown or boot animation or sounds, just freezes, goes black, keys light up, searching for signal boot process. Yesterday in maps trying to troubleshoot my gps. Stock rom,rooted, Ryan's lagfix.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Have the phone replaced. I had a phone that would randomly freeze and/or reboot. Nothing I did would fix it.
I talked to a T-mobile worker who had the same issue with one of the early demo-phones Samsung loaned to him. They just replaced his without every saying what the problem was.
I've been having this happen a lot lately myself, it happened to me before on stock ROM due to SetCPU, but now on the leaked ROM. I did not clean the SD card (internal or external), so will give that a shot when I have some time to copy files on/off the SD cards (one reason to dislike the internal SD is that I have to mount it to copy the files, ergh).

App update delay

Quite often when I update my apps, the download sits and sits and takes forever to actually download. It used to download/install instantly, but that changed awhile back.
I grabbed my friends Verizon Eris and it updated immediately on the same app mine is sitting idle on. 2.2 issue maybe?
Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Phone calls causing phone to power off

Its weird, I haven't had this problem on any other android phone, its happened twice in the last 24 hours. I'm completely stock. Unrooted
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I can count on one hand the number of phone calls I've been on since I got the thing, but I haven't had it shut down on me any of those times.
I've had it happen every time when rooted and had apps. I went back to no apps and still had it happen. I went back to stock 2.3.1 via the nandroid around here and locked it back up, still doing it.
The only thing I didn't test was 2.3 vs 2.3.1 but I do believe it started happening to me, at least, when going to 2.3.1, now that I think about it.
I have this problem but rarely. It will reboot the phone show the nexus startup screen without the backlit LED. Is that whats happening to you?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Same here, and I have used every T-Mobile Android phone to date, never seen anything like this before! This is the only phone I haven't rooted yet, not sure what the issue is...
It only happened once so I didn't think anything of it.
I didn't know it was a common problem.
Btw I will be exchanging my phone cuz this one has done really annoying bugs, like freezing in between homescreen slides and apps constantly fc during use

ya i havent made very many calls, but thats why it kind of concerns me. i have probablly made 10 calls and i think its rebooted 3-4 times while on the call or at the end of the call. i wonder if its a bug with the phone app?
did you root the phone or something ? if its still on stock firmware like how you bought it, then try to restore factory sittings, if its still doing that you then you have a I/O chip problem. and you will need to replace your phone.
thats what the HTC care told me when my HD2 used to have this issue

I would believe it was hardware if it happened randomly, but for phone calls only, that sounds like software.

Happened to me just now. Stock 2.3.1 with an international call.
I'm not rooted, I just cleared data for the dialer app and cleared cache on the whole system, we'll see if that does anything. Good thing I rarely use my phone for making calls or I'd be pissed

[Q] VZW software update

So I have the R800x and just got a pop-up notification stating there was a software update available. I could not get the update because the phone is not activated and currently just on wifi and it said the update had to be across the network not wifi. Any whoo, anybody else get this? Im thinking its the 2.3.3 update.
I'm getting a download error so I'm not sure. Could be lots if things.

I've randomly been getting this since I got my phone but it never updates or downloads anything. It just prompts me that it will turn off wifi in order to update, turns off the wifi and then nothing...

You can always try the SE update software. I just checked on my phone and it said no update available. I have noticed that if you turn you phone off with Wifi on and turn it back on the phone with ask you every time to check for updates.
Mine also does this. Every few days it pops up and tells me there is an update and when I click ok out turns off wifi, does nothing then turns wifi back on. Does anyone
know if there is an update in on 2.3.2 currently.

I tried a few days ago with SE update and said the software was up to date.
Are you on Tmobile with R800x and if so how did you get GSM turned on?

I'm on verizon had the phone just over a week and every few days it tells me there us an update. Its an automatic pop up can't remember exactly what it says but it tells me that wifi will be turned off to download the update. I click ok and the pop up goes away and wifi turns off and nothing happens then wifi turns back on. Also when I try to check for a new update it has just been saying checking for update and uses my cpu 100% but never finds one and hasn't told me it is up to date.

Ok so I just checked for an update and it seems its working right now and telling me I'm up to date. This is the first time its actually told me that. I'm still on 2.3.2.
Sent from my R800x using XDA Premium App
As for me, when I check for updates it always says on my R800X that I am up to date (running 2.3.2). I am assuming that in theory it has the update available but since it's not the tweaked verizon version so it just stops you from updating. So pretty much we would have to wait for OUR 2.3.3 (Verizon Tweaked) At least that's my opinion.

Try turning the wifi off then do the update from the settings menu.
I was having the same issue, said there was an update and then nothing ever installed. Just for fun I ran SEUS and it said I was up to date, I reinstalled anyway and i haven't been prompted for an update since. Its only been about a week so who knows.

Has your phone frozen on you yet?

I bought two of these galaxy s fours and also convinced my girlfriend who is a long time Apple iPhone user to switch over. I personally have experience one freeze that force me to restart the phone and hasn't happened to me since. My girlfriend on the other hand I was just getting used to the phone and beginning to like it but then she says her music player would be getting to get stuck and also couldn't answer a phone call because her phone was frozen during this. She said it froze about 3 times now forcing her to reboot.. I'm curious to know how is anyone else experienced this issue I understand that phones can get stuck for several reasons doesn't mean it's defective but I'm still curious to know how many people here have experienced at least one freeze up.

I get frozen once too. I played Zombiewood during 4 hours, and the phone was getting hot, when I try to go to menu, the phone froze, I had to restart.
It happens to me once every day or every two days. I think its an app or two that I have that is not fully compatible with my s4. I have removed a couple of apps that I think is causing the problem.
