Motorola Atrix 4G :: Switching Data Plans On AT&T?
Oct 16, 2011
I am heading out for a trip in a few weeks and there is not a wireless connection where I will be staying. I am currently on the 2gb per month plan, and I would like to switch to the 4gb teathering plan ONLY for the month that I will be gone. When(before I leave for trip,at the beginning of the billing period) should I switch plans (both to the teathering and them back to the 2gb plan) and which plan will show up on my bill?

My network provider does not support data plans. However I use wi-fi to connect and download applications from Application world. But when I enable Wi-Fi, I can easyly browse over network, but BB application world does not work. After restart it works. So I need every time restart my device to make app world working again.
Has anyone else noticed swype switching to all caps a lot (using system version4.5.91.MB869.ATT.en.US, Android Version 2.3.4)? Happens to me when the popup appears to let me select between different word choices. About 50% of the time, when I click on one of those words, then swype switches to ALL CAPS. This is driving me crazy!
I am currently using a Droid RAZR but would like to switch back to my Droid 2 Global for a short time. On the Verizon site I get a message during activation saying my unlimited data plan is not compatible and I am given other data options. Unlimited is included in the list so I am not worried about switching TO the old phone. My question is this:
If you are reactivating a 4G device coming from a 3G-only device, will you lose your grandfathered unlimited data plan on Verizon?
Does Motorola's product roadmap for the Xoom Family Edition include plans to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or will it primarily be focused on Android 3.1+?Are there current near term plans for an upgrade to 3.2?
I have unlocked AT&T Atrix 4G from the states, voice communication and sms are working fine over Vodafone GSM in Egypt, WIFI is ok.
Problem is in accessing the internet, tried with Vodafone different APN configurations but was unsuccessful and still cannot access my email's and browser.
I recently updated a bunch of apps on my phone that I have had for a while. I then started noticing that my battery would not last a half a day. It used to last over a day easily. Then today got a text saying that i have almost reached my 2gb data limit. So I installed the My Data Manager app and it is showing that the Contacts app is constantly communicating with something. I have an corporate exchange account for my email and contacts.How do i tell what is causing the contacts to constantly communicate?
I've had my Atrix for almost a month and I installed the app called My Data Manger.It worked pretty good through Aug until the update. My Data is saying I have used 5.5mb of my 200 mb plan. At&T says I've used 6.08 MB. I've reinstalled My Data Manager but it won't let me put in 6.08 or any decimal points. I like the layout and I'm wonder is there any data manager programs that are extremely accurate and will work sort of the same way?
I've a number of problems with ICS (too many to enumerate here). Furthermore there are a number of android OS apps in GingerBread that are not in ICS. Bluetooth DUN for instance.It's there but in name only. It has 0 bytes; the data, cache and the app itself. Its not limited to BT DUN as well, there are several others. I've read that ATT has flashed phones back to GB any comments, knowledge etc?
my wife and i both have the Atrix 2...and our bill from ATT starts over on the 24th of every month and i have an app for data monitoring to tell exactly how much data we've used (since we only have the 200M pkg and we have WIFI at house and work), on the 24th (the day that data resets) my wife got a notice from the monitoring app (ONAVO (which i recommend for everyone to try)) saying that a data hogger was using a lot of data. she checked and it said two apps used a TON of data (she hadnt turned her WIFI on yet or it did it in the car on the way home) in just a couple minutes.These two apps were "Rx Networks PGPS Seed Downloader" and "Phone" (whatever that "App" is.) so i quickly clicked the option in the Onavo app that restricts these apps uses to WIFI only.Now, i haven't figured out *** these apps do, but i only found a thing on the Rx networks one, but still not sure why all the data.

I figured i wouldn't search google for "Phone" app. that'd just be dumb.So anyway, the Rx networks app incurred 37.9MB and the "phone" app used 20.9MB.
my data connectivity very often turns off and won't turn on again by itself. For example when I wake up in the morning, I see the WiFi symbol and the network connectivity symbol. The data symbol in the middle (H+, E or G) is missing. It sometimes won't turn on all day unless I switch the airplane mode on and off.
I am looking for a way to lower my data usage. I am only using one email account and removed all the widgets and facebook. I just installed the app my data manager and I notice that something called RICH CLIPBOARD is what is using most of my data. Does anybody know what this is, and how can I stop it or reduce the usage?
i've owned an Atrix now for about a month and very time i save events and appointments to the calender within a couple of days they all dissapear the data gone.
I miss being able to easily send and receive images via text message.
This was a major way that I communicated with my farflung family. With the Atrix, I can't seem to get this to work without going to settings and enabling the data network for everything that might want to use it ( and that seems to be a considerable number of things despite my efforts to choose wireless only options.) I realize I can turn it on briefly to send (though that's a multi-step process) but there's no way to anticipate when an MMS message is coming in.
I got a text message from AT&T telling me they were gonna throttle me for using over 3GB. I have never used more than 1.5GB per month in my entire time with AT&T even having an iPhone for 3 years, usually not even 1GB.
why two separate data manager apps are telling me that Contacts used 2.6 GB in a month? What is Contacts doing? This is a stock app, part of Android. What can it possibly be doing all day long that uses so much data? This is like the icing on the cake of about 20 other huge complaints I have about this terrible phone.
I am shocked when I see good reviews on Atrix2 - there is almost nothing good about this thing. From the loud noise it makes when the battery is low (nearly deafens me with headphones) to the fact that it doesn't turn the screen on when a reminder goes off or a text message comes in - I just don't get this Android thing - why do I need to spend money to change settings like that? My 2003 Windows Mobile phone was more user friendly than this.
Also in the last month it keeps showing "com.motorola.services.main process shutting down" or something - constantly all day long like every 5-10 minutes of use. In the last few weeks the screen brightness has gone whacko - keeps getting bright and dim randomly. I can go on and on..
I was just curious to know if this is considered a known bug / will be fixed in the gingerbread update.After using wifi and walking out of the wifi zone (eg, out of my house and down the street) I will check my phone to find that the mobile data connection has not re-started itself, and only a reboot will fix this issue. Other issues have been my phone will get stuck only being able to upload (and not download the resulting pages/data) as well as the symbol disappearing completelyafter a little bit of research I found this may be a problem with 2.2.2 froyo and for my sake I hope it is, but I was just curious to make sure it is fixed in future updates.
How can I delete all of the contact data, without doing a complete reset of the phone? This needs to be done, occasionally, in order to freshly repopulate the contacts, and not end up with duplicates in the phone. The phone gurus at Best Buy and AT&T were also frustrated by the absents of this "Delete All" contact's feature.
So after upgrading OTA to 2.3.6 and performing a factory reset on my Atrix 4G, I've noticed that stock google talk app loses connection with the server after a few minutes while the phone is asleep. As soon as I wake up the phone, The network status icon is gray and within 30 seconds or so, the phone reconnects with the google servers and the icon turns blue again.
I've never had this issue before while on 2.2 and 2.3.4. I've made sure the app is always open and background data is enabled. Also my battery mode is set to performance mode so it should sync all day.
Sometimes in the middle of listening to online radio, sending photos over gmail, or updating facebook, my phone stops sending/receiving data.I correct this by resetting the phone. What's causing the phone to stop receiving data all of a sudden?
Since I got my phone in April, I've been experiencing this weird, random thing. Out of nowhere, my phone just loses the files stored in the internal memory/data of the phone. I have lost applications, pictures, music, and videos spontaneously.
What is your average data connection speeds? Yesterday I noticed that my speeds are severely lacking, especially when comparing to a HTC Inspire.When I called AT&T to inquire if my speeds were normal, the lady said no.After looking she said my SIM card number was wrong, again.This has become a frequent answer to most of the hiccups I've had since February.Side note, with this recurring SIM issue keep me from getting updated or will that be based on the IEMI?
as we know in android sitting,we can activate that option but on my phone there is nothing like that + i can't connect to internet throw any data plan in my country " Saudia Arabia ".
I dropped my Motorla Atrix MB860 in the water. The touch screen does not work anymore but I would like to erase all my personal data that I had stored on the phone. Is there a way to erase all the data that I had stored on this phone without using the touch screen?
I had activated the screen lock feature for my mobile. I had used fingerprint detection and the password method. I discovered that if the password is entered wrong 5 times, the phone erases all the data on the phone as well as the memory card. I want to disable this feature.When the password is entered wrong 5 times. It should just not allow the user to enter password for another 5 minutes.
When I connect to Windows 7 pc via USB--one out of 5 times will I be able to access the sd card data of the computer. And when i unplug it--all of my custom notifications (songs for ringtones and such) go back to stock
In the Battery and Data Manager > Data Delivery settings we have some options with respect to using data over the mobile networks and roaming.Last weekend my wife (iPhone) and I went to the Canadian side of Niagara falls. I double checked that on both of our phones, we had the Data roaming option disabled, but as AT&T still gets reasonable signal, I left data enabled over our home network.From time to time, the phones roamed to Rogers where we either got texts or in the case of my Atrix a notification saying were roaming and that we had disabled data so couldn't access anything. Great - I thought.The iPhone made it through the weekend just fine. The Atrix, not so much.Very early in the trip, at one point when I woke my screen to check it, I saw AT&T at the top with the data transfer indicators active (and blue). Then, the signal switched to Rogers and the transfer lights stayed on for a few seconds, before eventutally disappearing and only then did the data roaming notification pop up.
I thought this was weird, so I checked my balance, and sure enough, I had 80kB of roaming data present. Not much but at 1.5c per kB I wasn't sure I wanted to keep chancing this happening, and so resorted to turning off mobile data alltogether - which I don't think I should have to do (and DIDN'T have to on the iPhone).I'm not all that impressed. The data roaming option is a software issue - as the network by default allows it and so the onus is on "us" to make sure we don't accrue unwanted charges - but how can I if the phone just kinda does what it wants anyway?
I had an incorrect password attempt(10 times) i guess. This lead to factory reset to my phone. While logging back in, the motoblur account retrieved all my previous accounts but all my phone and memory card data is completely gone. Not sure, if it was a factory reset or the andriod upgrade which did that. Is there a way to find out ? And i really need my important data back. I assume the data is not literally deleted from the phone or card memory, but is there a way to retrieve it. I had a backup activated but not sure where to restore it from and how long was that backup updated.
