I'm curious, because I'm new to this phone and smartphones/pocket pcs period, but is this phone quite buggy, or is it due to things I've added. I find that frequently if I do two things at once and it has to think too hard that title bars and such disappear and get stuck and I have to restart it to fix it. This affect seems to multiply if you happen to try to close the slider while it's busy thinking. Last night I got a call while writing an email and closed the slider to answer. By the time the call screen came up, it had already rang 4 times and gone to voicemail, and in the end, it was all messed up again and needed a reboot.
Maybe this is common to these phones, I've just never had one so I dunno. I'm sure the lack of memory plays a major part in how slow it runs when it has to do two things at once.

Not having enough free ram can wreak havoc on the device. I've gotta say though that this has been one of the least buggy phones that I have dealt with. On average, how much free ram do you have? Anything less than about 14mb seems to send things to slow-ville for me

Ever since installing X-Button and being more careful, I try to stay around 15mb. It doesn't seem like a memory issue though. It just seems like often programs wont open, close, or generally operate correctly, sometimes leaving artifacts of itself that can't be removed all over the screen forcing a reboot. Perhaps it's just something to get used to with a Pocket PC, it's not horrible, but every so often it gets a little annoying. I was just curious if it was perhaps caused by software I had installed, or if it was just normal to have issues every so often.
I too am finding it does that. Especially when moving from Portrait to landscape mode. Some times the old portrait screen will lock up and over lay the landscape screen. I just go in and stop some running programs.
But I've discovered an issue I can't seem to easily fix. Twice now the phone has shut off completely. Both times I have been asleep when this happened so I can't say what causes it. I don't have it set to go to sleep (at least I don't think so!) so I don't know what the issue is. Today I went to sleep about 6 hours and when I woke phone was completely off. Had to do a soft reset to start it. Power button wouldn't work at all. Then when it did finally come up it showed no new text or no new voice mail messages. I had new messages on both that were delivered after I fell asleep. Any ideas? Suggestions? I do have the slider/launcher program but neither were running when I went to bed today. The only app I kept running was call firewall. All others were closed out in running programs before I went to bed. Currently my memory is Storage free 29.39MB and Program free 21.12MB. At 1pm my battery was 70% and it is currently at 40%.
I have found that that problem happens only when blue tooth is on. I have started making sure that the bluetooth is off when not in use.

I got my G2 today, and I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't messed too much with the hinge, but it seems pretty solid and I'm not very worried about it.
However, this evening, after a few hours of usage, I noticed the phone locked up hard, twice, within 30 minutes of each other. Within another 30 minutes, it rebooted itself spontaneously. This has me pretty worried, but I was in an area of the house where I only get edge, and reception goes in and out frequently. So its possible some type of radio reset thing was going on causing it to crash.
If that is the problem, I can probably deal with it. Hopefully its not a sign of a larger problem.
Another annoying thing happened to me later in the evening when I was trying to write an email. The cursor kept moving to different widgets on the screen or moving the text cursor up and down and left and right while I was writing the email, almost as if an invisible person was playing with the arrow keys. I realized I was sitting in such a way that the optical mouse was pointed directly at my ceiling light, so I'm guessing that was the problem, when I moved, I think the problem went away.
Anyway, just a word of caution to be on the lookout for similar behavior.
Let me know if you've seen anything like this with your G2.
Im having the same problem. I guess its just the way it senses "touch" (or light).
See my thread in this section (G2 Light Sensor Trackpad Issue), I can't post links yet. But there is a video in there showing why.
I think I can live with the cursor sensitivity, now that I know what it is and that other people have the same problem, I can just move the phone a bit and it will go away.
Its also something that can be tweaked or fixed in software hopefully.
The locking up / crashing worries me. If its just a bug with going in and out of radio signal, they can fix that in software too, but if it is a hardware problem, I'll be pretty pissed.
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?
Just a general question, but as time goes on and more updates / firmwares are released is anyone else finding their phone becoming more and more un-usable?
When I first had mine back in November last year it was perfect... no problems at all.
It's slowly got worse and worse to the point where I now have the following problems...
1) Data connection randomly drops needing a soft-reset. (yesterday I had to reset my phone around 5 times - stupidly annoying)
2) In dark condtions photos randomly turn out with coloured horizontal lines across them
3) Battery meter messes itself up after a soft-reset (combined with the need to keep resetting my phone due to the data connection this is massively annoying)
4) My bluetooth used to work fine - Now it will only work reliably if WiFi is turned off.
5) Volume is stupidly quiet now when playing music through an Aux Input.
6) After a soft-reset sometimes the phone just hangs with a black screen showing the battery meter - battery pull then required.
This is just off the top of my head at the moment. I never used to have problems like this. It seems every time I get an updated firmware I get new problems.
I've tried a hard-reset and this hasn't helped.
I love the WP7 software but this phone is beginning to drive me mad, such a shame since hardware wise it is great. I know i'm not alone with feeling Samsung have an ability to mess up the software side of things. Sadly I guess this means I'll look to Nokia next year when I can upgrade.
It's not just you. I wish more people complained to Samsung though, so that maybe we could see some improvement.
Not very helpful but no problems with mine on Orange UK.

Nah, It's good to know there are some of us out there with functioning models
Also nice to know you're on Orange UK as i've been offered a warranty replacement for this data connection issue I hadn't yet taken up as i believe it to be software related.
If you're running the latest release of the OS then it may be worth giving it a go.

This NEVER worked. It's bloody pathetic.
Oooh it's like a game. I had a new problem yesterday. Related to my battery meter woes.
Phone had at least 60% charge, it started to think it had none so wouldn't boot up. Just got stuck in a loop of boot up - instantly power off.
I also had problems with WiFi after mango update but after soft reset everything is working fine except sometimes I can`t connect to an open WiFi network.
Anyone noticed the same problem?

Same for me on this one. I'm on my second Omnia 7, which is about to get sent away to be told it's not fixable and be replaced so I'll be on my third phone
Going to get rid of it as soon as possible and get a Lumia 800.
same here...
Im with T-Mobile UK and i have found the same issue...never thought about it until I read your post though.
I too am finding myself resetting my phone more and more often...also another thing I have found is that it doesn't recognise when to switch to WiFi sometimes instead of 3G...i.e. when 3G is non-existent...very annoying I have to go and turn off the data connection to get it work properly...
i've just made some volume changes and I think it has helped with the headphones although it still isn't great...
I however am scared to return the phone as I dropped it in water and got it out very quickly...so it may have triggered the water seal thingy
Im not due an upgrade until Oct 2012....so I might have to just wait it out :s
I'm having trouble too with a 3 Mobile UK, unbranded latest firmware Omnia7.
Little bit temperamental on rare occasions. Like Freypal data doesn't always want to connect and sometimes it is randomly freezing or only showing the topbar with the battery. Need to pull out the battery to sort it.
On a side note, not connecting to WiFi when in a locked state is really annoying. Have to manually check for emails, WhatsApp etc.
No problems at all for me, only problem i have is Podcaast Pro app is likly to craash now and then, but its the devs fault.
Im having a unlocked, German Omnia 7, 16GB version, flashed to the only local ROM in Sweden from 3 and used with the same operator, and its been great ever since. My problem nowadays is i drop my phone often so when the battery falls out i have to restart, coming from 2-3 Omnia 7 its a lovly life to have it functioning normal, great phone.
Well, im a happy camper, but i noticed Omnia 7 generally working worse over time, mostly the first month is the time frame to discover problems, and if you flash a new rom, this can be the case again, one new month before you feel like tearing our hair, and it´s only connectivity issuess. Changing carrier and ROM fixed everything for me, so no matter how great, the carrier do matter in the choise of a Omnia 7, even if you think you fixed it. Dont know if it appy to you guys, but another Omnia 7 working incridble great here. Glossnas update and all, and it cant be found anymore so...im happy, hope you guys get to be that also.
I'm now on my second Omnia after a warranty replacement for the data connection problem.
New phone -
1) It still loses the data connection, although much less frequently than before.
2) Dark photos i think are now working properly
3) Battery meter still messes up. Must be a fault with the battery itself.
4) Touch wood - Bluetooth now seems ok ...
5) Haven't tried auxiliary volume yet
6) Haven't had a problem with it just displaying the status bar after a soft reset, however if the battery is out for any period of time and i boot the phone up. On the first boot data won't work. I need to soft reset it once for it to initiate.
So in summary - New phone, some old problems fixed. Some new ones. Some the same.
I keep having random split screen activation, as if I were long-pressing the Recents capacitive button... I've had this occur while the phone was laying on my desk/lap/just sitting in the palm of my hand, not touching anything. Thought it was me, just not used to the curved edge, until I put my phone in a case and still have the issue. My girlfriend doesn't have the issue at all with her S7 Edge, both purchased at the AT&T store on the 11th. I also noticed that her speaker bezel at the top of the phone is flush... mine is raised just a hair... anyone else having these issues? I've factory reset, which seems to have reduced the split screen activating, but it is still happening. I've also tried turning off some of the extra gestures and smart settings, but that didn't help either.
This has happened to me rarely, but it has.. also sometimes when scrolling down a webpage, it will randomly select a whole paragraph like i just long pressed the paragraph to copy text.. possible something caused by samsung using their own proprietary digitizer for the first time
Well, glad I'm not the only one. I'm contemplating returning it as defective....
Does your top speaker stick out at all or is it flush with the screen? I'm sure that has nothing to do with it of coarse... just something I noticed when comparing my Edge to the other one we got when upgrading.

Just downloaded an app from the store called "multi window toggle", works perfectly. No more random split screen. Only problem so far, you have to manually enable it after a restart.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give that toggle app a try and see if it helps!
Honestly, I really wish I could control what apps allow split screen... I think that alone would save me a ton of headache.
experiencing the same thing. hasn't affected my day to day usage in a negative way yet. it's indeed annoying
I really hope this is a software glitch, the thought of paying so much for electronics and having the nagging feeling that the device you got isnt as perfect as others that have been sold just makes me feel uneasy.. i dont want to send it for warranty although from past experience, samsung is very fast and fixing and returning your phone, the longest wait is the two way 2day shipping they provide.. i just want it to be working as intended! Just like you, i feel better that im not the only one, but id feel even better if there were MORE people experiencing this (does that make me a bad person?)
Same issue here
Also happening to me. I know this is the AT&T area, but I have the GS7 from TMobile. So is not just a unique to the AT&T variant. That app that some people has recomended to deactivate the split acreen feature works, but is not a permanent solution. Hope Samsung fix it in a software update... I hope is not a hardware issue.
I went to the T-Mobile store to try to exchange it for another one. Since the issue is hard to prove (it doesn't happen every time), casually, the person that helped me at the store was the manager (who was greeting the customers that came in). After describing the problem to her, she told me that T-Mobile had received an alert in their systems about this issue and that it appears to be a hardware problem. They exchange mine for free even when I had exceeded the 14 day window.
Just got off the phone with samsung and they said, get this, there are no reported issues with this device.. they gave me a ring around, wanted to remotely access my device and couldnt offer a valid reason why they would need to do that.. eventually in the end they refered me to exchange the device at at&t but with "no known issues" and being past the 14 day return time, i have a feeling im in for a huge headache at the at&t store... what a nightmare. Very disappointed in the first samsung phone ive ever purchased.. htc never did me wrong like this...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
What to do?
Will there be an update to fix this?
I don't know if i should go and exchange my s7 edge. I can't live with this random multi window for over a year.
But if they will fix it in an update, i dont want to send it to repair, in Denmark it will take over 2 weeks before you get a new one.
I Hope they will fix it in an update
Glad this isn't just me, the split screen popup is really starting to bother me. I also have issues when on a WiFi network, tether my car to the phone, then drive away, my WiFi breaks and I have to restart the phone to get data working. I called Rogers, my carrier in Canada, and they are not aware of it being a hardware/Samsung issue. The tech has heard of the split screen issues but said there is no recall on the device yet and it might be fixed with software. Unless anyone can confirm that replacing their device with a new one fixes this, I just might wait a bit.
split screen activating seems to occur most frequently when I first unlock the device. Other times it just activates randomly.
New update?
I just updated my galaxy s7 edge and it seems like most of the problems are gone. The touch sensitivity has been decreased it seems, the split screen has not activated yet.
It also seems like they turned a bit down for the animations.
I live in denmark, so i have the nordic updates.
Will report back here
New update
Hey guys!
Denmark just got a new update for the s7 and s7 edge called: XXU1APD1.
Hat it for 2 days now, and i have no random split screen activations. Other bugs are gone to!
Just had it happen to my AT&T S7. Phone was on my desk and on the home screen when the split screen activated without me pressing anything. Hopefully it gets fixed with the new XXU1APD1 update.
Had the latest software update two days ago for my S7 Edge, XXU1APD1, in the UK.
No more split screen random activations (I used to get it at least once a day often more).
So far so good.
Now if only AT&T would update us.... I'm glad that it appears to be a software glitch... i just about chucked my phone across the parking lot earlier because of that splitscreen crap... was getting ready to call Samsung this afternoon... I can not live with this on a brand new phone...
AT&T.... update your ****!!!!!!!
Ok. AT&T has actually released an update! Guess I jumped the gun fussing, I'm downloading it currently and will report back tomorrow (4/21) if I no longer have splitscreen issues. I really hope this fixes it!
