So my phone has this problem of only intermittently vibrating when I get a text/call. So I got an RMA and sent it in. First off, the lost it, and took several days and several phone calls to find somebody who was able to locate my phone. They then told me that it was not under warranty because it was physical damage. They said the main board was bent. Somehow I was apparently able to bend the phone enough to bend the main board but not crack the screen or back or anything else. So they said they could sell me a phone for $179 (no way). Sounds like crap to me........ I'll be buying Samsung next time.
cool story bro.
I prefer Samsung too. But in the long run I'm going to go with cool story bro

His father left at a young age.
His mother never loved him.
And his first love... Well, we all know what happens after their first love.

I swear stupid **** threads like this need to be deleted as soon as they are posted.
Some days I wish I was a MOD, dumbass posts like these wouldn't happen.
And, to be honest, I believe OP is only presenting a very small part of the story.
Notice how, toward the end of his ramble, he said he dropped the phone?
Sir, facts like those are important if you're trying to get people to rally behind you.
You're looking at me like I fingerbanged your cat...

did fingerbang my cat, now you have a friend for life and he has a companion.
Who cares which company .... all that matters is that it has Andorid inside and got a development forum in XDA

Except Samsung has always been on top of updates. The only time Samsung hasn't had a timely update was due to networks, namely AT&T, not approving of the update for a long time.
I agree! Samsung makes good phones, but the touchwiz icons make me feel like I should use velcro shoes, safety scissors, finger paints, ect.
I posted this to get up to the 10 post limit for the dev forums, thanks. I feel validated since it was already towards the top of the page, and my post adds about as much to these forums as the OP
OK so a few months back, I got into the this blind rage (not gonna go into the details) and the only thing in my hand was my poor galaxy s2. So I threw it very very hard on the floor and the back cover, the battery, and even the sd card came off. Soon afterwards I picked it up and put everything back in place and to my reliefs, the phone worked perfectly. The battery was even,... How do I say this? Misshapen? I had to reshapen? So it could fit in its place. Anyway, everything worked perfectly except the loud speaker was broken. I could use the phone without playing music through loud speaker and never put it in loud speaker mode during conversations. After a few months of this, suddenly the speakers was understandable again. Might not be as good as when I got it brand new but it works now.
Thanks everyone for reading my stupid post up to this point. If you have, you are patient people.
P. S this really happened I am not Kidding.

wow...like ur phone is semi-bionic machine that can recover from damage in time, just kidding
is it same like my case here, but not my SGS2 but my old Nokia, dropped into water, cant turn on, I kept leave it under sun so the circuit will dry, still not working, so, I leave it in my drawer, for almost 4 month, then I tried to turn on, and voila.........here he comes to live again, for me it happen by coincidence
anyway good for u to have ur phone working as usual again

New rule one for noobs then .
Dont read throw your phone on the floor as hard as possible but backup your EFS first .

Dude kudos to you. "semi bionic machine" I was looking for this word. Now that's an idea for Sammy next next meet model. A self repairing phone just thinking of the possible.

Quite sure it will not be XDA, but Apple Inc become the Umbrella corp.
Please.... APPLE WILL die in the next 2 - 3 years. It's not like those fanboys will buy every crappy overpriced products with apple logo sticked to its back forever. Or I could be wrong because those idiots have been doing so for the last 3 or 4 years. Then again now that the curse caster have vanished maybe just maybe....

Don't bet on it as people are generally followers and not leaders. This also explains why they opt for a closed ecosystem,cumbersome procedures to just transfer files via itunes(loonytunes) etc. Steve is their big brother.

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”
Yep true story.
Ah, no biggie.
It's the nanobots. When selfdiagnostic finds any HW faults it releases these tiny nanobots that then repair broken circuits.
I can sadly confirm that these regenerational properties are null and void if your SGS2 happens to be run over by the number 19 tram in Oslo - I suspect the tram number and city are irrelevant.
I'd have taken a picture, but looking at the mangled mess exacerbated my toothache, so I binned it.
Glad I've got an extra. I shall test this one under the #11 tram.
Samsung will be in contact with you shortly to recover their lost super-secret prototype Galaxy S2000 (aka enslave-humans-phone)...
So Samsung Seems to built a SKYNET
Dammmmm, some one please help, i installed ICS STUNNER by NEOBUDDY on my note , all was fine and working purfectly until this morning ..i was having a few issues with rom so i went into cwm to wipe data , dalvik and cache and boom , it just hung for 20 minutes , eventually i had to pull battery , put battery in and its DEAD, i have tried every thing , 3 button combo, download jig , took battery out for 10 mins then charged on wall socket, my phone is deader than curt cobain, it is only a month old HELLLLP

sorry but what do you mean i am "screwed" is there nothing i can do
According to said thread, nothing you can do short of sending it back to Samsung for a motherboard replacement.
Its under a 1 year manufacturers warranty. Make up some dumb **** story and send it back in. Thats the advice I got for my SGSII. "Tell them you were on the phone, it started to get stupid hot, and you did a battery pull." If you play a story well enough they should offer a replacement. Or check out mobile tech videos.com and see if they offer a jtag service for the note. Furthermore, if they do, you will want to contact them and explain and see if they could help before sending it in. Good luck, I know how upset I was when I bricked my SGSII.

thanks for your reply but alas i cannot do something like that as it would be considered as fraud and with my job(solicitor) i do not think that would be appropriate
i am very angry about this mind you, iI have read the disclaimer and understand the risks but after reading about a bit it seems like this rom has caused a lot of problems
Thread Closed
I feel your pain, and hope you get this sorted. But we have a existing thread, so please search before posting.
Howdy, Guys.
Well, my digitizer broke, started getting really really finnicky, at first I thought it was just CM9 touch drivers. But yesterday, I noticed it had a huge dead spot, and touch test confirmed. I found a deal on a Lumia 900 on Craigslist, and will be using this for the next 5 months until my upgrade.
I've never been a part of such a devoted and active community on XDA. I thank you all for all your help, and I'm glad to have been able to contribute in whatever ways I could. I look forward to working with some of you again, maybe we'll see an Atrix 3 together.
Thanks for everything, and Good Luck
-Peter
Adios buddy.
The 900 is a cool phone. Battery life is sucky, but the UI is the best part about the phone.

Well Guys & Gals, it's been fun on the Atrix Forums... been here since March of last year, and saw all the milestones for this device. But the time has come to move on to a newer phone.
My Galaxy S3 will be arriving tomorrow. So while I may not be as involved on a day to day basis as I have in the past, I'll still be around. And I'm still the forum moderator, so don't go thinking your gonna get away with anything.
See ya around,

Used my upgrade.
Sent from my Atrix
Well guys, I really only had an atrix for about a month (baught it at amazon for 220 but I sold it for 350) lol. You gotta love XDA and all the devs out there who can make something that is suppose to be fast be fast AKA CM7.
I really was hoping ICS version stable, would have been made while using this phone.
Oh Well, hey you guys and gals, take care and as we say in Germany Tschuess!
Sad to see you guys go. I'm tempted by the GS3 but it's not quite what I want still. I think I'll keep rocking the Atrix for another month and see what happens. And possibly save some green on the upgrade if I decide to go GS3 anyway.

Oh my... how I wish I can upgrade my phone right now..
I don't want you to go! so here is a temporary solution =P
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719653
I'm leaving too, gsm galaxy nexus from the play store
Wife will use my upgrade for whatever she decides on
I'd like to thank all of you who are active here and stayed active through thick and thin
Most especially the leaker of the unlocked boot loader file then the devs who brought us more than enough great roms to make me really love this phone (after blur made me hate it) I'll still keep my Atrix so I can still try out what you all come up with.
Unfortunately, I have upgraded my phone as well to the Galaxy S3. Since money is tight, I am selling my Atrix to pay for the upgrade so Aura is now discontinued officially (I assume most considered it that way already).
It was a fun run and I hope everyone has a wonderful year.
I'm not leaving right away, I'll wait until a next batch of S3's are available before I use my upgrade..
It's been great guys!

While I am on the SGSII right now, I am still excited about a more stable CM9 on the Atrix.
Too many turn offs with me on upgrade options. SGSIII - Micro SIM (and I don't want to go the SIM adapter route) + too large of a screen.
Nexus - refuse to buy until Nexus finally makes a phone with a MicroSD.
HTC - Needs to prove itself in battery life.
Honestly while I am currrntly enjoying the SGSII, I'm STILL going back and forth with my Atrix on CM7.2. Don't know why but I just really love almost everything about the Atrix, and probably will never sell it...

Once you play with it for a few hours it makes the Atrix feel downright tiny and insignificant in screen size, it is crazy. It feels pretty much perfect in size after a short while.
Not to mention that it runs more fluid on the stock rom than any phone I have ever used. Amazing device, I would definitely say go try it out once demo's start showing up in stores. The microSIM isn't so bad, since after using it for a few days I can't use the Atrix anymore. It feels so small and hard to see the screen... which is kinda depressing because I loved the Atrix, only phone I have ever used for my full contract period.

I'm poor, so no S3 for me, but I picked up a refurb skyrocket for $10 as a contract upgrade. My wife's still on an atrix, though, and it does indeed seem small and insignificant after just a few hours w/ the skyrocket. LTE is amazing as well. Faster than my 18mbps uverse. Was a good run.

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the support in making the atrix a much better experience then Moto did.
TheBill was great giving us awesome roms even when he did not have an atrix.
My atrix died for the 3rd time and rather then go through the warranty process once again I have decided to wait for the Lumina 920.
Ill be using the Iphone 4 as a temp phone (now I know why i didnt go apple) but am excited to give a whole new operating system a try.
Again thank you to a great community.

alright ..first ...no matter how many times u flash, if u flashing right thing, motherboard doesnt gets damage! maybe the file you flashed screwed up with your boot.img and damaged ur hardware(bcoz hard brick sucks...) there are many ways to restore it!... people use j-tag to revive devices!!
try that/...
hope u remember that even on triangle away app, it is clearly stated that app can also damage ur hardware!!!!!!!!!(yet it hasn't in any case, but still)
Lol even my warranty expired on march 8th such a coincidence lmao and i better be on customs and stocks after i got to know two bricks in our community im just stuck on carbon and pyramid k3 dont want to flash via odin and also guys my phones getting heated up randomly can anybody help me out with that???
