Motorola Atrix 4G :: Beta Test Is Not Open To People Who's Phones Come Preequipped With Swype
Jun 29, 2011
i noticed recently an call for betatesting fo rthe latest SWYPE.since the new featureset seems as though it would aleviate some of my frustrations with swype, i wanted to try it.apparently the beta test is not open to people who's phones come preequipped with swype (why??)Anyway, when they release the new swype, will Atrix owners be able to update? how does one completely DISABLE the hinst that always pop up.i am SO tired of the "hidden word" hint that always pops up.
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!
Is there a way to disable the language button in swype? I have my only enabled language set to US English but the button is still there, robbing space that I used to use for the space bar. It makes adding a space when I end my finger on the left-hand side of the keyboard a little harder.
We are especially looking for Nokia N900 and MS Outlook 2010 users. We will tell more about the new features and improvements in Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2 when the testing starts.
Considering the poor performance of ios4 on the iphone4, I'm inclined to wonder did the developers have any phones to test it on. Some of the bugs are so blatantly obvious typing lags dreadful Bluetooth performance and that awful proximity sensor bug. I waited several weeks after US launch mainly to allow all bugs to be ironed out but that didn't work. Cmon apple get your finger out. You dropped the ball on this one.
I have 2 old nokia 5110 and neither will charge? I have tried 3 different chargers and 4 different batteries but none of them will charge. Not sure what the circuit boards look like when they are normal but am not afraid of a little tinkering if there is a solder I can refresh or any signs of issues or a way to test the batteries without the phones.
I hope motorola can improve there text message app. if i want to foward message to some people, i have to type every name, and i don't like group messaging.
I've noticed that some times when I get text messages from certain contacts, the way it shows up on my informs me that it was sent to myself and X amount of people (and I can view those numbers/contacts if I have them). But what's annoying is when I try to reply to "said person" it replies to all contacts that recieve the message. Now if I hold down the message and get options, I can view the details and open the message/delete the message, and I can Reply to All... but it never lets me just reply to that person. There is no option for it. I just reply and they all get it.
Like I stated before, this is not every time I get a mass text message from someone. Some of my friends have iPhone 4s so I tested it last night with a friend sending out a text to two of us and when I received it there was no indication that it had been sent to multiple people. Also have another friend that does this a lot with his Droid 2, no issue with his either. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the way it's being sent to me (and others) but even if I can see who else it was sent to, I'd still like the option to just reply to one person.Any advice on this? I foresee people telling me to get another text messaging app though which makes me think AT&T/Motorola should really add a lot more features to their text messaging app just incase of the people that would like options..
I am trying to find out what additional apps people have on their phones and why? Now what do you have on your phone.I want a task killer to extend my battery life running Android 2.3.4
i have Atrix 4g phone, how do i open my notes from SD card?i had a problem with my phone i end up doing a factory resest. before i did i could tranfer someof my files to my sd card and to my pc. i restall the program that i did the notes in "Note Everything" how can i get the notes from sd card to read in Note everything. the note are PWI format. i what program can instal on my pc to read them . i donot have microsoft word.

If I leave my phone on a browser page or text message app or any other app, and the phone goes into standby / locked mode, when an incoming call comes in, I am unable to answer the call. Sometimes I can't unlock the phone (screen dead to touch), sometimes I can unlock but then still no screen, no call Answer button appears, but the phone is ringing.
Is it correct then, that one should never leave any app or browser open on the phone?
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.
My Daughter has and iPhone 3gs and when she sends me videos she has recorded with her phone I can't open them. I have tried a number of different video player apps (moto x, rockstar, mobo) (I think those are the rightnames) and none of tehm will play it. Does anyone know what I can do to be able to watch those videos?
I am having an issue with all day events when looking at them in day view. When I go to a day with an all day event scheduled all I see is the color banner on the top with no event description. When I click on the banner to open the event all the info is there. When in week view the information is displayed in the banner.
Is there an APP or setting to keep a hotel internet connection open? I find that as soon as the phone sleeps, the connection is lost and I have to resubmit the connection policy that is usually associated with connecting to a hotel internet connection.
For most of the time I've had my Atrix, I haven't used encryption. I don't even think it was an option. After the last update, I started using the option to encrypt user data and files stored to my SD card. My Atrix has had a lot of programs force closing lately, so I did a hard reset. All my user data was intact after the reset, but I can't open any of my photos that were encrypted. I've tried setting my password to the same as it was before, but I still can't access the files. Is there anything I can do to get my photos?
Ever since the last update my swype is now messing up. It freezes up and then continues. I was also really hoping for a fix for the wifi problems some of us have. I cannot connect anywhere. It worked very briefly after a reset but is now back to the same. It only works in airplane mode. I also used to be able to start it up in airplane mode and then turn airplane mode off but I now lose the signal when I do that.
It's great that Swype was included with the X2 so I didn't have to downlaod it, but the fact that it's a system application means it can't be altered and therefore we're stuck with an outdated version. I can understand that the included version was probably current when the Froyo firmware was written for the phone, but to not update Swype to the current version when you rolled out Gingerbread or remove it so we can update it ourselves doesn't make any sense. If I want to have the current version, which is improved, I have to root my phone to remove Swype so I can put it back on. Any plans to change this so we can actually control what's on our phones and keep the apps up-to-date? BTW, Swype's already got another version on the way. [URL]
I've seen than HTC phones with similar features than Nokia or Motorola cell phones for instance are cheaper.. Why is that?? For instance HTC Touch Viva is cheaper than Nokia 5800, Nokia 6790 or Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5... Why is that? What are HTC phones disadvantages compared with other brands phones?
A brief history if it matters to trouble shooting this. I initially had to hard reset my X2 because the data encryption feature caused some unwanted effects, i.e. the data encryption feature did not work properly. Since that hard reset, I left the default keyboard input method as multi-touch. Just today I thought I woud like to try Swype. However once I bring up the keyboard input options and select the radio button by Swype, it stays greyed out. Are there some possibly 'lock out' options I might have selected that doesn't allow me to select Swype? I know Swype works because I had it before the hard reset.
