Reboots - Atrix 4G General

I just want to let everyone know that I was plagued by the evil reboot problem a lot of us Atrix owners was/are experiencing. 15-20 a day for the last year or so. I tried every solution possible to no avail until I finally decided to replace the SIM card. Guess what..........not a single reboot in a few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone who has this problem should replace their SIM card. AT&T store replaced mine for free!

Mine was resolved by exchanging the phone...

Reboot problem getting annoying. First step?

My evo is starting to get really annoying with reboots. I want to go to sprint to get a replacement. I know I got to unroot, (I know this is not the problem), but what do I tell sprint in order to get a replacement? I've had the phone since July if that makes a difference. It's gotten so bad that I can barely stay in the browser for 5 minutes without a reboot. Or a game like mini squadron.
Any writing methods to perhaps fix this?
Any help is appreciated.

There is no fix for the power cycling problem. Sorry but you will have to get a replacement phone. Just go to your local corporate Sprint store and show them what it's doing and they will order you a warranty replacement. I had the same problem with my first EVO. This seems to be a fairly common issue on some of the early hardware version EVO's. flash the "s-on" tool from unrevoked.com website then run the stock ota 3.70 sprint rom from your computer to put your phone back to stock condition. GOOD LUCK.
Thanks man. Sounds like a plan, but the reboots are pretty random, gonna be hard to prove. Or do I just have to tell them? I'm still in warrantee after 7 months? Dang.
Thanks, its been a frustrating month.

If browsing 5min causes reboot just do some massively heavy browsing and hope it reboot.they can't really say oh well its not showing us any problems.

Alright, I guess that's all I can do. Will report back with hopeful success. Thanks everyone for the help.

[Q]Phone randomly lost signal?

Hey guys, since last night at around 11, I lost all signal from my phone. I've tried rebooting, battery pulls, #*#*4636#*#* and nothing.
I'm currently running royal ginger 1.4.1 with faux's kernel.
any ideas?
nevermind guys! fixed the issue. Turns out, my sim is 6 years old so it finally died on me.
Lol it died? I've had the same similar for 4 years now and it hasn't died. Did you just take it in to the tmo store and they said its a dead sim?

They test it I had one die last month. Free replacements though and they have new ones out that are supposed to run faster and work better on 3g/4g

Is there anyway to check the life of one's sim card?
When you buy any 3g/4g phone they should have change your sim card out, if they didn't you should go back to tmobile and they should change your sim card without any problem. Just letting everybody know

Strange behavior

I had my Nexus One since last march, and apart from the 2second bug, I had no problems with it at all. I've never rooted it as it is a company phone.
Yesterday, when idle, it rebooted into the bootloader and wasn't responding to anything. I tried to take out the battery at least two dozen times without success until it finally rebooted properly.
The battery wasn't drained (it was at 76% when I managed to reboot) - anyone had similar experience? This is a bit worrying, I don't want to replace my Nexus One for at least two years (or until I fall in love with a phone like I did with this one, and the Nokia N95 before that) I've only had 4 phones since 1999.
- sorry I've posted in the wrong forum, I meant to post this to the Q&A section of the Nexus One forum, I hope a mod can transfer this
any water damage or u dropped your phone by accident¿

To all the awesome Fascinate Devs!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the devs for all the hard work and the fun you've givin me with customizing my fassy. I'm switching to the Incredible 2 because of the many issues I've had with the missed calls and bad signal. I was offered the phone brand new free of charge with an extended battery for 42$ and a month of free service. I know it may not be as much fun as the fassy because I don't believe its rooted just yet, but right now i need a phone that has the functionality of a phone. So again, thank you all for the awesome roms/themes/tweaks you've offered and I hope i'll be seeing you all again when the S2 comes out.

Wait wait wait. Did you use an upgrade to get the inc2 or they offered it? I'm getting tired of the missed call thing.

no i didnt use an upgrade. this is my 3rd fassy with the same issues. I believe I got extremely lucky.
Nice. I'm gonna have to try that later. Was the phone brand new or a refurbished? You should've asked for a Charge or anything 4g

I might end up exchanging my Fascinate too. My first one had an acore force close loop while this second one has had the status bar burned in.

I believe brand new. i was kinda in shock so I didnt really care to ask but he said it has no battery or back cover so he hooked it up with the extended one for 10 bucks off. and as far as the 4g stuff, none of them interest me.
If it did have a battery or cover, it is refurbished. I was thinking of making the jump to the Dinc 2 as well. Am going to wait for some roms to come out first though.
Oh, and it has achieved S-off, but whoever figured out hasn't released how to to it yet.

Come up of the year.

Recently went to a yard sale and found a Nexus S for sale $5 Guy said his kid messed it up that it didn't turn on. I thought to my self what the heck and bought it when I got home I went on XDA. It was a simple thing all I had to do was access boot screen and do a reset. Working great..
But now i have a question to any who read this. Now so far all I know is that is Sprint Nexus S but I see there is also a 4g I know its a dumb question but where would I find it. Now my new mission for the week is finding out before I start flashing Roms. So far I have a Galaxy 2, a Nexus S, hopefully soon Galaxy 4 and the phone that started my addition Galaxy S Captivate.
Any one have any good ROM,apps, and kernal recommendations would appreciate.

MP3 player/15gig memory stick

Why don't you go into system settings, about phone will tell you the phone model. I doubt flashing wrong one will jack it up though, just wont boot. The ns4g is CDMA network and ns is gsm, other than that very similar.
