Aside from having Mr. Blurrycam over for a party, is there an app (perhaps via Android SDK like DDMS) that allows me to get a real-time streamed Atrix screen on my PC so I can record videos to demonstrate operation of an app?
I was so excited to get Gingerbread (2.3.4) cause now Video chat is supposed to work with GTalk.I tried it on my Atrix and I can see the other person's video feed. But the other person can't see me.
I am trying to make a contact group...when I add the contact how do you select which number it uses if you have muliple numbers in it. I have contact with land lines as well as cell...I want to only send to cell
Just got my new phone and i really loved it. But while reading a lot of reviews, I'm having doubts if I really got the super phone. To test if the reviews are true, I downloaded 2 benchmark test in android market. [code] How can i make my phone faster? How can I make my CPU freq higher?
One thing I miss about my Blackberry, I could set up Profiles for different sound configurations (Normal, Loud, Vibrate, Silent, etc.), and each action on the phone I could control in each profil always had all LED notifications OFF except for Voice Mail and Text Messaging. I have NO idea how to do that on the Atrix
I haven't been successful trying to make a video call XOOM to PC, everytime I try, the Screen goes black (like is going to do video) but then it gives me an error and close, I have been successful with my mobile phone (S2).Do the user on the PC needs to have camera?Can I show my cam only?
I can only periodically make calls normally by placing call and then putting phone up to my head and listening to phone ring, and person answer.For whatever reason then the phone will behave erattically. It will only let me make a call using speakerphone.I cannot put phone up to my head and listen through earpiece, and the phone doesn't black out when putting up to my head.I guess the proximity sensor doesn't work or is buggy.Also, sometimes when I double tap on the Home button/key to start voice dialing I should be able to hear the phone ask me what I want to do, but I can't hear anything but I can see on the screen that It is asking me a question - but can't hear anything as I normally should.Then, a few hours later it all works beautifully.I have rebooted the phone, taken out the battery and put it back in, hard reset the phone.I even have just now taken my screen protector off and the phone worked for a few calls as it normally should - i put phone up to my ear and screen blacked out and I could hear other person on earpiece.Then about an hour later none of that worked.I could only use the speaker phone.the phone didn't black out when making a call and putting phone up to my ear, and the double tap home button/key invoked the voice dial interface but i couldn't hear the voice/phone prompt like normal. and confirmation of my commands
The level 2 tech support at moto didn't help with any more troubleshooting than what I have already done.Which is: restart phone...reset phone to factory settings (hard reset) wipe all data off phone...taken off screen protector...none of this worked and produced consistent results to say that any of these procedures produced a positive change in the phone.I am within my 30 day trial period of this phone purchased from Motorola.
I just received a new Atrix 2. When I make a call or answer one nobody can hear me!. The phone seems to be muted.If then I turn on the speaker, people start to hear me! What may be happening?
One minor irratation I have is the phone keypad not being present when making a call. For instance, if you get a voicemail and you tap on the icon the standard active call screen opens, but you then need to touch an icon to open up the dialer pad so you can interact with the voicemail system. Is there any setting that allows the dialer pad to open automatically when a call is made? Would be really great if this feature could be selective for certain numbers such as voicemail.
The new car dock software is awesome.... better music player, better everything....But the calling section, which has a favorites option is giving me problems. I Have one favorite and it seems to be me from my google+ account. I can find no way to add favorites to this screen even though i have favorites in my contacts menu on the phone.Anyone with a car dock have any luck with this feature?I have tried creating new contacts and modifying existing ones. Adding them to the <gasp> AT&T address book, and changing them in my google contacts
I'm currently on O2, and I'm about to switch to 3. I've put the new SIM in the phone, but when I try and make a call the dialler crashes and the phone reboots. I've read some other people have similar issues, but I can't seem to find a solution.
I am using moto atrix. When I connect an headset, the phone rings only in the headset. This is sadly the same case even with an alarm. I infact missed some appointments because of this.I am not sure why anyone would do something like this hardcoded, since I would like it to ring in both the phone as well as headset.
my phone has been acting strange for about a week passing from inconvenient to unusable. It sometimes says that there is no service, and when there is service available it just doesn't work.I can't call, sms, or receive calls or sms.I called my service provider (Telcel Mexico) and everything seems to be in order.If I put my chip into my old phone I can make/receive calls and sms no problem.
Have a Atrix HD, about 6 months old. Today I went to make a call using a headset plugged into the headset jack, and nothing happened. The headset was not recgonized and all sound continued to come out the 'speaker'. (Either in "loud" speaker mode, or normal mode.) Tried another headset, same problem. Researched and went through the "check for debris and clean the jack" process with no improvement. Contacted Motorola support and they ended up offering to have it shipped to service center for repair/replace, but that means 7+ days without the phone. So I thought I'd check and see if anyone else has had such a problem.
Anyone else ever have headset jack "failure" like this on an Atrix unit? Oh, it also fails with a music player, or any other sound source, so it appears to be a general unit failure, not specific to any one app/function. I looked all over for some kind of setting to enable/disable the jack, but found nothing of use.
I bought an Atrix a few months ago and have had a few problems, but have had NO time to address it. So, I've just ignored it. The main problem is that I cannot play a video that has been sent to me via text. I am able to play videos that I record on the Atrix. I have even sent myself a video from my Atrix and it has played. I don't know why my phone is unable to play videos that have been texted to me.
Another problem is that my ringtone will not stay correct. Sometimes my ringtone will be what I have selected and other times it plays an old ringtone that I had set from my previous phone. I have checked the settings for my ringtone. I don't have any specialized ringtones for any specific people on my contacts list. So my ringtone can be one of 3 songs that are on my songs list. compared to the one listed above. I dont know how a phone this "smart" cannot play videos received.
I am new to both the Atrix and smart phones and have a few questions I was hoping somebody else had already figured out.
1)I installed Skype on the phone and it seems to work fine; however, I cannot figure out how to do video calling. I assumed that the front camera was there for the sole purpose of doing video to video calls; however, when my wife tried to make a video call to me I didn't receive video (she called my from her computer, on the exact same WiFi router).I went through every setting I could find and was unable to locate anything that would enable video calls.
2)I have noticed that my cellular reception seems weak compared to my wife's Motorolla XT 720.She regularly has 1-2 bars more than me in the exact same place.Any ideas why and if there is anything I can do to improve my cellular reception?
3)Whenever I get a new computer I like to remove all the bloatware installed by the manufacturer.I'd like to do the same on the phone, but I know so little about Android that I'm afraid I might remove something important.My phone is factory unlocked (but not jail broken) and seems to have a lot of AT&T junk on it that I really don't want/need. Are there any installed apps that I'd be better off leaving alone, and are there any that I really want to make sure I ditch?
4)I made the mistake of adding my facebook account when I set up my MotoBlur (another yuck ).Unfortunately I'm overseas for a couple years, and have no desire for these people to show up in my contacts when I'm trying to make a phone call.Is there any way to delete all my facebook contacts from my telephone contacts?
My Atrix was working just fine for the past month, and this morning all of a sudden I'm not getting ANY signal/reception. I can't make phone calls nor send texts. Sometimes the signal comes back but it's just for 2 or 3 minutes and then the signal is completely gone again. When I plug the SIM card into another phone it works just fine so that rules out AT&T's problem. Wi-fi works just fine. I factory reset the phone but the problem still exists. I am already out of the 30-day return/exchange policy, what can I do? Is this problem going to be fixed for the next update?
Screen shot shows when my phone is completely out of signal.
I have noticed that the video playback, on the Lapdock, can be really clear, sharp and smooth. Other times it can be a little laggy, not as clear and blocky. (It changes between the two every 5 to 10 min.) Sometimes I've seen a message pop up that says something like, the video is not optimized for mobile. This is streaming thru Firefox, using HBO GO website. (I haven't had a chance to check this with netflix.) I've tried to let the buffers feel up for a few minutes as well.
When I try to play an AVI video file (from an 808 keychain camera) that I copied from my computer to the phone SD card, the file comes up & plays but all I get is audio with a blank/black screen. The files play fine on the computer. I tried small ( 8mg ) files but no difference. I use the stock media player w/ flash player which has worked great for everything up till now. OS is 2.3.6.
I'm trying to record video. I'm getting some nice image quality, but almost no sound. The audio is extremely muffled. I have my playback volume as high as it will go, and still can just barely hear anything. I can use Tango and make phone calls just fine, so it seems that my mic is working. The only time I've noticed the problem is when I'm trying to record a video. Even if the person I'm recording is standing right in front of my and speaking in a loud, clear voice, I can't hear much in the recorded video.
I called moto this morning and told them the phone is awesome, but the camera can't focus on anything, and the video is jerky. The customer service guy told me he is sending the problem up the latter and is confident that it will be addressed with the next firmware update. He said there were a few people having the same problem. I'm not ready to get rid of this phone, but the camera/video camera are not on the same level with other 8mp/1080 p recording devices.
I'm having difficulty sending an email of a short video I took on my new Atrix. Upon hitting the share button and selecting email, I get the error "
Video size exceeds limit".
the email address I am using is within my own domain of which I am the controller. There is no limit on my mailbox in regards to how large a file I can send. I wonder how to adjust the settings ont he Atrix to cure this bug/feature.
Clean boot (restart), the proximity sensor works fine (when on call it turns screen off, when moved away from face screen on). As soon as I make or receive call via bluetooth (Motorola brand btw.) The proximity sensor stops working. When on call it will not turn the screen off... Rebooting the phone will fix until a call is made/received via bluetooth. This was confirmed with other Moto phones (Photon...) as well as different bluetooth devices.
i was wondering if anyone else had the problem with a high pitched noise in the background of a video recording during the playback of the video? I couldnt really find any good explanation over the web. i can only hear it after ive recorded the video and ive tested it in a quiet room with no interference but its still there in the background.
I read on Skype's website that Tegra 2 devices such as the Atrix can't do video calling because the chipset doesn't have NEON technology support. Is this something that can be changed with a software update, or is this something that Tegra 2 devices will never be able to have?
Lost media files from internal storage. After complete discharge of my battery all pictures and video from gallery saved on internal storage were gone - is it possible to get them back (restore)?
