Hey guys,
Last night my phone got smacked out of my hand onto the concrete and itt cracked the hell out of my screen.
It's still completely functional, but it looks like a jigsaw puzzle at the moment.
Anyone know where you can get replacement glass or I could send the phone off to for repairs?
Cheers guys.
I assume you didn't opt for insurance?

Negative.
They don't sell the Atrix in Aus. I purchased from an Ebay seller...
Thus - not insured.
Never mind.
Should've searched a bit better. Found this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983154&page=3
Heaps of info.
Thanks anyway guys.
My HD2 touch screen died today. Comes on but is completely unresponsive, 1 month from my contract being up.
Guess it's using my Flyer with Google Voice for a while. Probably head over to Sprint and grab a Galaxy Nexus or S2.
Call your provider, most of them will "do you a favor" and let you upgrade early just to keep you as a customer happy.

Yup Asurion said they couldn't help because it wasn't physically damaged...LUCKILY i bought some goofy extended warranty with T-Mobile...they're sending me a new HD2 (could have had an HTC Radar instead) for $5 today...i'm 3 weeks from being out of contract and don't want to get myself stuck in with a new phone just yet!
Happy ending
Yes it is...unlocked, flashed back into Android in less than an hour after receiving it, man i love this phone!
could have bought a whole new digitizer and LCD for $80 and replaced it with little to no hassle and called it a day.
Just bought a new Defy+ last month and today suddenly a dead/stuck pixel has popped up on the screen . It's just one single pixel. Tried some apps available in market, didn't fix it.
Will this be covered in warranty in India?
sure bro it will be covered..show them the case and i hope they replace the phone.. be kind to them at first but if they don't ... bump them up lol
i don't know how it's managed in India, but there are some rules about LCD screens which tell how many dead pixels are acceptable on some surface. You should first get to know about the rules before sending your phone to the OP, because if there are some, you just lose time waiting for your phone without having it fixed...
Thanks. I've emailed this query to Motorola India. Hope their reply would be positive.
Emailing motorola and that to india is of no use..better go to a nearby service centre and tell them your problem..emailing will get u nothing..
Hey,
Do let us know of any update. I also noticed a dead pixel in the extreme right top corner of screen after the first water test, 1 week after I bought the phone! However, it dissapeared before i could visit the service center! Anyways my phone is now already in service center waiting for its casing to be changed.
I have submitted the phone at Motorola Service Center yesterday. They said it will be fixed, but it will take 10 - 15 days to get it back.
I've got the phone repaired. They've changed the display panel. Problem sorted out!

That's great!! Even my phone got replaced!
My gf and I both have atrix phones and I'm on my 2nd one. it's been fine so far, it runs ICS etc etc
well, she is on her 3rd one and this one is having problems already
1st one the digitizer stopped working
2nd one speaker wasn't working
3rd one the notification bar keeps disappearing. factory reset does not fix it
I don't want to root her phone or anything so she wants to keep it stock (and she should)
We talked to motorola and they told us to factory reset. told them we did, and they pretty much said do it again... wtf #1
after I told her to call AT&T and they told her the same thing. We told them it was already factory reset once about an hour ago, and they said to take it back to the service center and get a 4th one.... problem is, she can't this week because this was her only day off. (I guess they forget we can't keep going back to the service center because we work) they also suggested when we get the 4th one to play around with it for about an hour at the place so we know it works.... seriously?
3 phones and 2 of them broke within a week (the notification bar happens about 10 mins after starting the phone)
does anyone have any suggestions on this problem we're having? We can go back and get a 4th one, but jeez... 4 phones? I think it's time they give her something else
Thanks for the suggestions everyone
Hmm... it seems like you just have bad luck.
What you could try to do is ask AT&T to give you both new Atrix 2's free of charge.
You can explain how it's not your fault that all of this is happening and that they should value that you are their customer.
It's worth a shot and I think you have a good chance at convincing them to do this. You'll probably need to sign a new 2-year contract though.
I would tell AT&T you are tired of Motorola and the problems with the phones and aske for a Skyrocket to replace them with. Worth a shot if you want to upgrade and get away from Motorola.
Mine was sent once cos digitizer stopped working, then month later I had random reboots even on stock. They send me new one and its fine. I dont mind as long as they offer replacement.

hey bro i work for att and its because when you get a replacement they send you the ****tiest of the phones they have .. they will be refurbished and they will be ones they cant re sell . call and tell the your six mos in your contract and that a rep said you were eligible for an exception.

My first Atrix never worked out of the box. Sent in for repair, didn't work. Sent in again, worked for a week, something else broke.
Got a NEW replacement from Motorola after much *****ing and escalating to BBB & executive customer service and have not had any problems yet, except it came with a non-working factory battery that was replaced after two months of being ignored.
I'm hesitant to buy another Motorola because their support team makes it a nightmare to get your phone fixed or replaced.

yep. had 4 Atrix already... the more att replaced my phone, the worse it got.
New atrix -> bluetooth audio stream keeps disconnecting --> Moto said, go get it replaced because it should not do that...
1st replacement -> refurbished... same problem... called Moto again and att service center --> go get it replaced.
2nd replacement -> refurbished... same bluetooth problem, with additional random reboot. i check phone to look at time, press power button -> reboots.... a lot... --> replacement time... but wait... "we cannot replicate the problem" says att service center representative, "thus we cannot replace it"...
me: it is "RANDOM"... they played with it for 5 mins and could not replicate the problem..
att service center representative told me to call att replacement center who said "why wouldn't they replace it? all we're going to do is the same thing they would, which is replace the phone".. att service center: "our policy is, if we cannot replicate problem, we do not replace"
with much frustration, finally got a hold of someone higher up who was willing to replace phone...
3rd replacement coming from so called higher up -> refurbished... status bar disappears... cannot answer calls, bluetooth problems, wrong battery gauge... out of att options... last option, send it in for repairs at Moto... will be getting phone back tomorrow.. will see how phone works... crossed fingers, it would work as it should...
Yeah, the motorola phones boast a lot of features, but even with the motorola razor in the past, I remember disliking it due to unreasonable security restrictions and random bgs.
i have been with att for many years and dealt with alot of **** and like our friend the att rep said its a refurbished device so it had problems before so its bound to again, see i got the atrix with the 99 cent deal and after one with one problem i called moto and att and i got a new atrix to replace my old one, which had a chip in the fingerprint reader and no rubber around the camera lens, call and beg plead and lie it works every time lol take it from someone who has been through 20 phones in 4 years if its the phone they provided you with they will replace it, alos only 3 or 4 out of that 20 i actually broke the rest were refurbs and refurbs of a different make and model, good luck OP you should get it right eventually
It isn't just Motorola. I have had the same problems with HTC, Sony, and Nokia. My son had 4 iphones replaced. It is a refurb problem. Just keep complaining and eventually you might get one that lasts.
i have just received back my phone from motorola... and guess what... FAIL! my phone has not be repaired! they did not input the problem i told them about so all they did was flash the software.
I'd been on the phone with them for a good 3-4 hrs to get my phone replaced/repaired. In order for motorola to "replace" the phone, they need to verify with ATT that the phone had been replaced at least 3 times. They need the Serial no. or IMEI no. of the phones that had been replaced, and they cannot guarantee that I will receive a new phone. problem is, I do not keep the serial numbers/IMEI numbers of the phone I get, so I advice you guys to write it down or something just in case stupid things like this happen
I replaced my atrix 4 times because of a ****ing nice issue. People hear me like im in a tunnel .... garbled and far away. I still don't have it right but I kept it since it fell in water. It works perfectly because I pulled battery immediately but I can't return it because the white dot is now red.

same here. my digitizer went bad, refurb had messed up contacts for sdcard and wouldn't see it. Next refurb the screen was not aligned good, could see light bleed around the edges. I fixed the contacts on the second one and sent the last one back. Oh yea the phone also had the drop bluetooth problem, but that seems to have been fixed after flashing.
About puked when i first turned on the phone on and saw all that att bloat crap on there.

hmm, i never knew what that white dot signify. thought it was some kind of special phone if it has a different color.
Hi!
My Moto G4 plus fell on the road and was badly damaged (screen and rear camera lens cover shattered) so I got a new phone and decided to get this one repaired so I could use it as a backup. Thing is, when I took it to the service centre, they said that since it was rooted, they would not take it for repairs and that I would have to buy a new device.
I can't unroot it now since the display doesn't work, and I would prefer to have this fixed rather than get a new phone. I'd be really grateful if someone could help out with this. Thanks!
Update: Found a service called JustLikeNew through some facebook ad. They're quite good - I put in a request for repair online, a guy came over to pick up the phone the next day, and I had the phone ready and back with me in three working days. It's still working splendidly. Definitely recommended if you, like me, are frustrated with Motorola.
