Im looking for fixes for my issues with the DVP.
First off I have 2 apps that wont download or update. I have an ilomilo update will not update unless using the wifi or connecting to the PC. The sims 3 is the same way. Trying to use wifi doesnt work and tends to lock up and needs a battery pull. Connecting to the PC doesnt do anything and havent figured out to sync apps doing so without buying from the marketplace from the PC.
Lately I have been witness some lag and hesitation for some reason, not sure if its going between 3g and Edge. But today i noticed it bad and was wondering if there is any fix for this. To further explain my situation i may be texting a message and it takes about 5 seconds for the first letter to come up then its fine. Not sure if anyone else has witnessed this issue. I cycled the phone off then on and hoped this fixed it. Havent really witnessed it after that.
Is their any fix for my issues I really need my apps to download and clear off because i paid for the Sims 3 and havent even played it yet.
i'd contact Dell and request a replacement, your phone shouldn't lock up when WIFI is enabled, it could be a hardware issue.
im on the phone with Dell now, I told him to send me a replacement.
But he also said Dell is working on an update to fix the WIFI issue whih is suppose to be released this Month.
Lets see if they actually replace my device or deny me, the guy said he had to talk to his manager
Well I figured out one of my problems but its still a problem they have to fix. I found out I cant let the phone sleep while trying to update apps or download big apps over WIFI. Weird, but thats the only way i could download stuff that was in quen

That seems to be a common issue. If I let my phone go into standby while installing an app it will often not come out of sleep.
exactly what i was running into. They need to fix that, i dont want to keep my screen active while while the app downloads
Hey everyone, i decided to create a thread for all Atrix owners for all Hardware/Software issues.
The goal is to hopefully document all known problems so that owners can be aware of issues and possible solutions.
I don't have a Atrix myself, but 2 friends of mine do and i will post there issues and the problems we have had so far!
So please post all problems so that we can easily find issues here.
So 2 of my friends have the Atrix and man it's been ridiculous so far!
Friend M. the "mooseman", is on his 3rd Atrix!!!
-First issue he had on Atrix #1, the charge/battery low LED on the top right did not turn on ever! When charging or full battery or low battery, led never came on!
-Second issue on Atrix #1, the phone wouldn't want to charge past the 40% charge mark either using the wall charger or from usb power from a pc. Factory reset, removing battery and cycling battery no good.
Solution: Atrix was exchanged for a new unit.
Atrix #2 from the "mooseman"
-First issue was again a charging issue that got stuck at a percentage, i think it was at 80%, even after being left on wall charger for a hour, Again no good.
-Second issue was that the screen was "Flickering" mainly very noticeable on any black displayed on the screen. We first saw it on the home screen background on a black part of the background, tried resetting rebooting, no good!
Solution: Atrix was exchanged for a new unit. At the bell store the tech wasn't even able to access the sim card over usb on the Atrix with a special device they had to copy sim contacts and info.
"Mooseman" is on his 3rd Atrix and so far so good, for now. All his Atrix's were from Bell and running 2.2
Friend M-furries. the "Iranian Warlord", will be going onto his 4th Atrix!!!
-First issue with his Atrix #1, he was experiencing call connection problems and dropped calls if i remember correctly. Also he told me that it would turn on by itself sometimes.
Solution: Exchanged the Atrix for a new one.
-Issue on Attrix #2, he had rooted the phone and enable 3rd party programs within settings, phone was functioning fine and was rebooted many times without issue.
He then decided to download "Talking Carl.ipa" which is a iphone app lol, why, god knows, but he tried it and when he did it didn't work as expected and gave him a force close, he forced closed and when he did, the phone rebooted.
Only thing was that know it wasn't booting up at all! It remained on the pulsing moto bootup logo and did not boot, even after many attempts nothing.
He went into recovery mode and did factory reset, what happened after that?
His phone booted up except that the resolution of the screen was as if it was really high as everything including the main menu, taskbar icons, text, everything was supper small and very hard to see!!! Furthermore he tried the phone dialer and nothing, it would try to open then instantly close! So no more phone except if it was a incoming call . He then looked for a stock rom for the Atrix but didn't find any so he tried to install gingerblur rom and still no good, everything was super small and phone dialer still closed when launched! We downloaded all drivers, moto agent and motorola sync and could you believe that there is no emergency firmware recovery within motorola sync!!! No recovery or option to upload a firmware, wtf!!! The samsung galaxy S had that option through Samsung Kies, as does the iPhone from iTunes, what the hell motorola!!! Called there tech support and it was useless, they tried a ota update lol!
Solution: Exchanged the Atrix for a new one.
-Attrix #3, he had it for a couple of weeks and now he is getting an issue with the screen "Flickering", it appears to be "Flickering" on the top status bar!!!
Solution: "Iranian Warlord" will be sending this unit in to get another one!!! He will be on his 4th Atrix!!! lol! All his Atrix's were also from Bell and running 2.2
Mods, can we make this a stickey?
Tell us more..
Well hopefully he will have a good unit when he gets his 4th Atrix, i hope! I'll let you guys know as soon as he gets it.
Update: Actually my friend with the "Attrix #3, he had it for a couple of weeks and now he is getting an issue with the screen "Flickering", it appears to be "Flickering" on the top status bar!!!"
After further investigation, It's actually the whole screen that was flickering, furthermore it only appeared when the battery was around 20%, however it disappeared as the battery further discharge towards the 5% battery level, strange indeed. Perhaps somethings up with the power management.
We also found out that there is a Bell update for 2.2 that fixes a couple of bugs, so we'll try that out on his phone and after testing it for a while I'll post here any updates from it! Hope that it works because these are awesome superphones!
We are going to try this update first before getting the 4th atrix.

Sorry to say but your friend is an IDIOT there! Like really? What was he thinking loading an iPhone app. It's OBVIOUS that it WON'T work. I mean if it was THAT easy, we'd have ALL of the iPhone apps running alongside with our android ones! Second this is in no means a fault on the Atrix. This is purely HIS fault. Your friend took the chance too root. He should have done his research and had he, he would have read in basically every ROM/root thread here that THE BELL ATRIX does NOT have a SBF to fall back.
I'm just surprise that Bell would let you exchange the phone because once you root, you lose your warranty.
fairly happy with 2nd one BUT !!! .....
My 2nd Atrix works OK so far. The first had the voice quality issue.
I still have 2 big problems:
1. WiFi crashing router. After some time (sometimes many hours) my router will crash (needs full restart/unplug). I put the Atrix on its own router so it does not affect the rest of my home network.
This happens with my Actiontec (FIOS), D-Link Dir655 and Linksys WRT54GP2 (super old but thats what the Atrix is currently on)
My DIR655 is running pretty old Firmware but I just dread redoing all my setup/config if I go to the latest 1.3x.
Does anyone here use the Atrix on a DIR655 N router without problems?
I turned Wifi sleep of on the phone etc, etc but still!
Pretty annoying but I can live with it. My first Atrix did exactly the same.
2. VOIP mic problems! Skype, sipdroid etc... Its supposedly a problem with the MOTO implementation of the AudioSource Object. Its very limited and does not allow commonly used settings. I read that you can also only use the back mic.
I wonder what MOTOs official statement on that is?
Its true and I told him that he was retarded for even trying that lol! Luckily he was able to change it! However he is still having issues with this atrix, he's waiting for the bell ota update to fix a bunch of bugs on 2.2
My 2 friend's haven't had any wifi problems though, perhaps its the router your on? Wifi has always worked on all they're atrix's that they had so far!
Issues:
1. The LED (one of them would flicker and then go off).
2. The voice quality on the phone. Everyone would tell me I sounded muffled.
3. I have a problem with network error on the Market app.
4. If I leave my finger relatively still on the screen for longer than 15 secs, the will stop responding for a few secs and go crazy. (This happens with all units. It's a "feature" on the phone). Kind of makes it hard to play games.
5. I can't lay down the phone on any surface that is not flat, as the LCD will not work (ie. bed)
6. I get randomly disconnected from the AT&T network.
7. I get a few reboots per week. Sometimes in the middle of a call.
That's all. Besides those things, the phone...is still horrible.

I'm actually using a DIR655 and I don't have any problems. Then again, I'm using firmware 1.33NA. That's bizarre though, I've never heard of a device crashing the router. I'd recommend that you bite the bullet and upgrade your firmware. You do know that you can save your current configuration, right? It's under:
Tools > System > Save to local harddrive
Love this phone so far. Luckily I haven't noticed any of the mentioned problems. Except 1, with VOIP, it doesn't seem to be working properly. Yesterday I tried Skype, tried speakerphone, tried headset, tried BT, nothing worked, I can hear the caller, but they can't hear me at all. Now today I tried again, I can still hear them, and there is a weird progress, they can hear me, not with BT, but with headset and speaker both, but my voice as they say was very broken, noisy, too much disturbance etc...
Besides this issue, (M)Atrix rocks!!!
Atrix just wont connect to mobile data, it will tease you with showing you there is an H+ connection available, but it wont let you axx it..
And it worked fine for one day x.x

hmm...I remember reading that people that had this issue, when they lowered the noise cancelation feature, they didn't sound muffle anymore. Maybe you can try this out? I don't have this issue, so not sure if that will help.

Are you still getting this on WIFI? I know sometimes the Market acts up on its own, though I haven't heard of it happening recently.

I've noticed the opposite accutally...if the phone is ON a flat surface, it doesn't respond properly. Like multiple times I am required to click on an icon shortcut on the homescreen.
7. I get a few reboots per week. Sometimes in the middle of a call.

I think you should exchange it for a different phone :/ I know the reboot issue is fixed with the 1.5.something update for AT&T.

Have you forced trottle your network to only be 3G? Are you in a known weak 3G area when that happens?
I am experiencing problems with my phone all around. My phone crashes about 3-4 times a day on native apps like internet, zune, marketplace, email, phone dialer.
I bought a certified windows phone 7 SD card and installed but since I was getting those problems I took it off. I tried formatting the phone several times and the same problems continue. At some points, almost every application crashes immediately after opening it.
I think I'm dealing with a bad phone, has anyone experienced or seen this?
I have NoDo installed. I have 3GB free of space. Its developer unlocked.
Sorry, I haven't seen those. I have had a few of my own. These have happened in the last three weeks. My Focus isn't recognized by my computer or Zune. The charging icon shows up even when the phone isn't plugged in. Not to mention Phone loses signal constantly. I have update 7392 installed and Chevron Unlock. I want to hard reset, but don't want to lose unlock. Look into the backup tool, but the developer said it restores phone to exact state.
I have not installed any apps or changed anything I can think of to cause this.
Is it AT&T nodo?
If everything is stock from AT&T including your update and NO unlock then complain to AT&T and they should replace it in the first year for free, even send an advanced phone before you send back the old one.
For me...
The issue is, Do the new Focus have NoDo installed already. That's a big deal since you can't unlock it.
Better than having a broken phone.
Did an exchange. Problem solved
How easy was the exchange? NoDo already there?
Hey, was just wondering whether NoDo was installed on your new focus. Just in case others are in the same predicament. And, how easy was it to exchange? thanks
Yes, Nodo is installed. So your SOL, unless you flash a rom. It was a breeze to exchange. My phone has some small scratches that they disregarded because it was near the USB and the water sticker was still white.

Hey guys,
just got a Nexus 4 yesterday and it looks like I can't login to Facebook Messenger with my new phone. I am able to use Facebook messenger on my other Android devices with no issues.
Even the main Facebook app loads and runs just fine, but everytime I load up Messenger I get a "Something went wrong. Please try again." error.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled. Installed old versions, cleared app data and cache. Tried on stock and CM10.1 nightlies. Nothing. Even changed my password to something simpler, in case it didn't like the special characters. But nope.
Google would suggest a mix match of people having this issue and no resolution.
Anyone came across this issue and found a solution?
Have you found a fix for this yet? Mine has been the same since I got it on the 9th of April. Works flawlessly on my N10 and worked on my S2 as well.

Nope. I've posted this issue on Reddit Nexus 4 sub too. I've emailed [email protected] but I'm not hopeful. Hopefully there'll be a fix. But yeah, somehow it's an app + hardware combination. I get the same issue with my wife's login. Facebook app OK, messenger not OK. But don't have any issues with any other device.
I have the exact same issue on my n4. Fb app work, messenger and pages don't. Works on n7, tf300t, xperia arc etc. I can get messenger to work using old release though. Still not ideal, but try 1.8.002 release.
Very frustrating fb please fix asap

Thanks for that. I tried a few other 2.X releases which didn't work, but the 1.8.002 release you suggested does indeed work for me too. I got it from: http://www.androiddrawer.com/1954/download-messenger-1-8-002-app-apk for anyone else having the same issue.
I emailed Facebook support back when I started this thread, and still heard nothing back. I expect a copy/paste response when I do though.
Thanks mversion and Clemoly!
Just an update that the newly released version (2.6.1) doesn't work either. Instead of giving a "something went wrong" error, it just continuously takes me back to the CONTINUE AS "FB NAME" screen. My last hope is that Jelly Bean 4.3 fixes it. But probably not.
We all live in Australia.... Weird...

This happen to me too, i don't receive the messages notifications and i have also the same message (something went wrong).

I had a chance to install Facebook Messenger on a colleague's Nexus 4 (he didn't have it previously installed, nor does he have a Facebook account) and lo and behold, I was able to sign in with my own credentials.
So I thought I'd format my Nexus, start fresh and install Facebook Messenger before I installed anything else, including the Facebook main app. Well, I STILL GET THE DAMN SOMETHING WENT WRONG ERROR. The peculiar thing is that it didn't even get to the stage where it would send me a verification SMS (Facebook's 2-step verification feature), it just said something went wrong and that's it.
Somehow, just somehow, this feels like a hardware related thing. I don't know, but I think I am going to offer my colleague some money to swap our Nexus!
Im getting it on my Nexus 5 and 7 too
yeah, im getting the same thing on my n5.
I have this problem on my LG G2 and this is the only thread i've been able to find that relates to Android. I got this problem when the new update with the design changes rolled out about 5 days ago. Does anyone know a solution to fix the problem? I've tried all the usual, clearing data & cache, uninstalling, restarting my phone but nothing.
It looks like I have found the solution.
Step 1. Turn phone off
Step 2. Take out your SIM card
Step 3. Turn on phone
Step 4. Be amazed and shed tears of joy when you sign in to Messenger and it goes through without a hitch
You can then turn off your phone again, reinsert your SIM card, turn your phone back and so on and so forth. It's been almost an hour and it is still working for me where I'm able to send and receive messages. Freaking hell, something I haven't been able to do since May this year!
I discovered this fix by accident when I updated the Facebook Messenger app on my-now replaced by the 5-Nexus 4 and just for the sake of it thought I'd give signing in a go. I was surprised that it worked. Naturally I tried it with the Nexus 5 and it worked too.
Happy days.

If I could give you rep every day for the next year I would! Thank you so much.
I've also found that the above solution also works by toggling airplane mode instead of taking the sim card in and out, if you wish.

I still have the problem. The FB Messenger and FB Pages Manger both stops working as soon as I change network. I mean from 4G to Wi-FI or Wi-Fi to 4G.
Let me start off by saying that this issue started back at the beginning of Dec 2015. I've had the phone since winter 2014, and for a year, it was the most amazing phone ever. However, one day as mentioned beginning in dec 2015, the phone began running extremely slow and was restarting frequently. I assumed it was a just a OS issue, and so I did a system factory reset. However, the problem persisted even after a reset and cache clearing. So I called up Samsung, and then told me to send in the phone to get looked at. Since then...I have sent in the phone 4 times to get looked and each time, Samsung has said there is no issue pretty much. I've tried phone with different new batteries, and the same problem still occurs.
The oddest thing that I've noticed with this issue is the phone runs smoothly and flawlessly, when there is no SIM card inserted. But, as soon as I insert my At&T sim card into the phone, all the lagging/restarting issues occur. It's been a frustrating 3 months trying to deal with issue, and i'm at the point where i'm throwing in the towel and calling it quits on trying to fix this phone that costed me so much money.
At&t reps were clueless when I brought this issue to them today, and told me to call samsung....even though samsung says at this point it's a network provider issue and that I bring it to At&t. I've googled this issue and couldn't find anything on this. Posting on here is my last ditch effort, and if anyone knows anything that can, I would very much appreciate it. If not, i'll prob buy a new phone out of pocket.
having the same issue since 2 days after sim change
Hi, I recently switched my carrier and inserted a new sim. Phone worked fine initially but after 1 day it has started working extremely slow. It sometimes does not wake up from sleep even when i press the home button repeatedly. Sometimes it hangs and then gets into bootloop. I factory reset my phone yesterday and the issue resolved initially but when i installed and restored my watsapp messages, the issues started all over again. Now i am thinking of flashing my phone with a different ROM and see if it helps.

thanks dr. geek, keep me posted on how that goes.
Problem persisting even after flashing a new rom
I flashed a 5.1.1 australian ROM downloaded via sammobile. but the phone started hanging again this morning. I am beginning to wonder if its an hardware problem.
I have the same problem ...
Have had my Note 4 since November 2014. And it havebeen working flawless, running rooted and everything Until yesterday when i was just casually using my phone and it started to lag and restart, no difference whatever rom. So i tried for a whole day to get it into official firmware with alot of error messages in the progress about the internal memory etc, i ended up repartitioning, and modifying my PIT-file until i finally got it working. And the same issues did still exist. Now the thing that seemed to work for me was to change battery, now it seems to run again without lagging, or anything. Tho it wont restart properly without restarting twice by itself..

Hey yeah, well. you're right. I only got up to 3 hour use before same problems started to occur again. I have officially given up now tho, it must be a hardware failure. Im going to send it in.
its the EMMC chip bug

Im getting the same, i guess you could try it. But from what ive read it seems like the only fix is for samsung to exchange your phone, or change motherboard.
Good luck with samsung fixing it. I sent it in 4 times and each they responded "no problem found". I gave up and bought a moto e.
Flashed again with PIT+Re-partition

Yesterday i flashed my phone again, this time with a PIT file and repartitioning checked. Eveything went fine but the phone went into recovery booting bootoop initially but started on its own after a few bootloops. It worked fine for sometime, but when i entered my samsung account and it started to restore my msgs, call logs and apps, after 1 hour or so it started to freeze all over again. I am starting to think that some app could be a reason too. Now i will flash again and keep using it without restoring my old phone and installing only a few essential apps and see what happens

I also installed an app from the play store EMMC brickbug check but it says that my NAND chip is sane (fine i guess)
Same happens to to my note 4 snapdragon phe.
Any updates ? Did anyone got it back fixed from Samsung?
Good luck
My T-mobile Note 4 started experiencing this same issue last week. Is this a coincidence or something more? For everyone with the same issue, has your phone been slightly warmer at the top?
I purchased a new Anker battery to see if that will resolve the issue and will test it when it comes. But I think the emmc is starting to go bad? It seems to work fine without a SIM card inserted also.
I just received from samsung that they need to replace the motherboard, and of course the warranty isnt covering up since i rooted it. And they're going to want 540 USD from me to do that. Sigh, last phone i bought from samsung for sure.
