Motorola Atrix :: Keypad Keeps Freezing Up When Messaging Or On Facebook?
Oct 11, 2011
I recently got my Atrix from Orange. I've had it less than a month and now I'm having problems with my keypad. It only seems to happen when I'm texting or onf faebook. I can't see what im writing unless i back out of the text so I can only see where the text is entered. It also lags whilst I'm writing or takes itself out off the message entering screen periodically. It has only just started happening but it's very infuriating. I don't have a screen protector on and it works fine on google, browser and emailing.
I have had my Motorla Atrix for about 6 weeks. I am experience the problem that it freezes when i am using the keyboard. Mostly when I uste a fullstop or question mark. I have to then turn the phone off and on again to unfreeze it.
I have searched everywhere for a solution to this problem and am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the sameproblem. During a call, when asked to enter my phone number, passcode, etc., the keypad disappears every time I try to press a key. When I get a key to press it stays on long and disrupts the call I am on. It makes it difficult to use my phone to call in to call centers as I cannot press the numeric option I need.
My Motorola Atrix 2, already OTA'ed to 2.3.6, sometimes doesn't turn on after I have put it in sleep (normal screen-off sleep). I push the power button and the screen goes off, then next time I need it, it's apparently dead. Actually it's not dead, because after I pull and reinsert the battery, it turns on, so the battery has still some juice in it. As of now, it happened only with the phone in airplane mode (hence, with me sleeping in the bed), so this may be a clue. Also my battery settings are set to maximum savings. Also, a couple times, it happened after I had just sleeped the phone, for I tried to turn it on after a few seconds and it was already frozen.
Ever since i updated my phone to the Adriod version of 4.1.1 there has been alot of issues with my phone. Constantly freezing up and rebooting. just flipping through the different screens, pictures, videos, apps, or whatever its been freezing up and rebooting. Its not the battery and it was working great before the update. i had no problems before.
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.
So i uninstalled the few apps ive downloaded since the 2.3.4 update and still my phone randomly shuts off and sometimes it freezes. Ill go to make a call or scroll through the screens and for no reason the screen turns black and the only thing that i can do is pull down the notification bar... i have to turn it off and back on for it to work again. My husband has the same phone and his does the same thing since the update so i dont think its a app.
I recently got a lapdock for my Atrix.After using firefox for 10+ minutes the webtop freezes: the cursor is non-responsive and no response from key presses either. The frozen cursor occurs for both the touchpad and when a mouse is connected. How should I debug this problem? I am on the stock 4.5.141 build and rooted (to install Swype). No other root related changes.I am using the incipio feather case. When I undock the frozen webtop the phone is working fine. I can dock again to get a working webtop...not an ideal solution though.
I have a Atrix 4G. After updating a few apps such as G+, Foursquare, and couple others, phone basically does not work. Freezes up, apps freeze up and I get message "Activity Home (in application home) is not responding". Even when I slide to unlock the phone it freeze on the slider and home screen does not open.
When I click the menu button, settings, and manage apps, the screen goes to the 'Manage Apps" screen under the "Running Apps." The phone shows the circular loading icon and never loads. The phone doesn't freeze- I can go back to the home screen and such. If I go to settings, applications, and manage applications, the same screen shows up but under the "downloaded" applications tab and there is no problem. It would be much easier to just go to manage apps under the running apps tab so I can force close.
Why my phone will freeze up in the passcode process. In the past two days the phone has just dropped off the planet in terms of performance. I downloaded the newest update about 3 weeks ago (which I don't like at all).
Kindly pass this information to the software developement team of Motorola
1. The labeling or the coloring option to the conversations in Text message inbox would be great option(if not labels at least having an option to create folders and tranferring messages to thefolders based on user interest---this option was available in Moto ROKR E6)
2. while searching messages in text inbox i observed that the search results or based on the content of the text mesage. It would be quite handy if search results include the name of the senderalso.
3. having a trash folder which saves the deleted messages(again Rokr E6 has it). this os becasue when people gets frustrated with lot of mssages in the inox they just press delete all so it would be great to have a trash box where they can retrieve important messages Via this option.
I have my Atrix 4g with AT&T. I'm having a problem with text messaging. I'm not for certain (hadn't noticed), but I think my phone was not originally doing this and it started about a week after I got it.What happens is that all images I receive in MMS text messages, appear to be the same image. Say I received a picture of a dog from one contact. All future images received, from all contacts, appear as the exact same picture of the dog. However, if I hold my finger down on the image and select "view picture", the picture will display correctly. If I save it to my gallery, etc, it appears correctly. But it continues to display incorrectly in the text messaging conversation itself.I tried rebooting my phone, and all this did was update the "universal" image to the most recent image I received. All images were still displaying the same thing. I've also tried Googling this problem and haven't found anything about it so far.
I am trying to fing out what happened to the ability to select multiple contact to send or forward a text message or email by ticking the "head" icon, which brings up your phone contacts list and then checking off the contacts you want to send to. All I can see is you have to select them one at a time using auto complete in the "to" field. Is there a way to select them like we used to? If not, then when can I expect Moto to send an update that fixes this? This was an option on all previous Adroid releases, so why is not there now? I know I can create groups, but that is just ignorant, I dont send to the same people every time, so groups are a waste of time.
i already had a moto defy that could support delivery reports in text messaging,now im on Atrix, my device is international, but there was not any option to activate delivery reports on sms setting,so i installed sql editor from market & changed the value of "sms-mms-delivery-reports" from 0 to 1the option discovered in sms setting but it didnt work (attached photo)also i tested other apps like GoSmS & ... but they didnt work too,i've tested this method on froyo and also othet 2.3.4 roms based on 4.5.91 AT&T and 2.3.4ORFR, but nothing at all,why moto have missed this trivial option in a high end smartphone?this is critical for me & i dont want to sell my phone just for this, i love moto, i love my atrix, but what should i do?
The online Atrix 2 manual, linK: http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Support/US-EN/Mobile%20Phones/Motorola_ATRIX_2/Documents/StaticFiles/ATRIX2_UG_US_EN_68016171001A.pdfpage 27 says:---------Quick Start: MessagingSend and receive quick text messages orfull emails.Find it: > Messaging > Universal InboxProblem is, I dont have a Universal Inbox. When I click on the Messaging Icon, all I get is(see photo): Top line says Messaging with a + sign on right side; and an icon, in the main screen area, that says Text Messaging and has a "1" on it. Im assuming that means 1 contact, but I have all my contacts on the phone (and yes thats more than 1)hen I click on the + sign at top right, a small window appears, below the text messaging icon, that says - Choose Account, on top line, and Text message below; (see attachment).
For a variety of reasons, I decided to use Gmail to aggregate all of my email accounts instead of the Messaging application. After a factory reset, one of my email accounts is still showing up in my Messaging application and my Universal Inbox.This, naturally, seems to be interfering with Gmail getting messages from that account. When I went to Manage Accounts, however, the email account I doesn't show up, meaning I can't delete it.So to recap:1. I had an AOL email account set up.2. I set up Gmail to read and manage my AOL account.3. I factory reset my phone4. The AOL account still appears in my Messaging application and my Universal Inbox
Is there anyway to reinstall the stock text messaging app on the Atrix 2? Since day one the app will link to the wrong message from the preview, either in the Universal Inbox, the Notifications, or the Text Messages list. A reboot of the device corrects the problem temporarily, but it always returns.
Now that I have the Atrix, my little backflip just sits at home with no sim card, but I can still access anything market, web, apps because it still connects to my wifi.The question is: what app can I get on my backflip (that has no phone number attached to it) so my daughter can text message anyone. is there an app that will send a message from the backflip to my carrier's messaging.I know I can get any of the outside messaging services, just not sure if any will work with regular SMS messages.
I just upgraded to 2.3.4 or 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US, whatever you want to call it. Now, Gmail doesn't show up in the Messaging app, only my texts and Yahoo email. Is this a 'feature,' or can I do something to get Gmail back in the messaging app?
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..
Is there anyway to perform a line break, or return character, while texting people? Been a couple times where I wanted to text something on different lines and didn't want to sit there using spacebar to get to a new line (waste of space/time). I know there are other messaging programs out there and that certain apps allow character returns (like Facebook for Android) because I'd rather have that than the stupid smiley faces...
I have a 32gb iPhone 3gs and it regularly freezes when I lock the keypad. It sometimes comes unfrozen after a while (usually a long time) and sometimes doesn't come back at all and I have to reset it. I find that it consistently and nearly 100% of the time freezes when I lock the keypad when I have accidentally left the wifi connection on. when the wi-fi is off it doesn't usually freeze, the problems mainly when the wifi is active.
It seems that the messaging widget rarely/randomly displays new text messages. This is after updating to build 4.5.91 through the SOAK testing. Is anybody else having these issues? It shows my corporate sync messages immediately and with no issues, but the SMS usually lag behind by a few minutes or never display in the widget at all.
My Facebook or Twitter is no longer syncing as of a few days ago. The Motorola Widgets are not showing any updates on my Social Networks either, any ideas as to why??
I recently shutdown my facebook account. I cannot seem to be able to remove from my Atrix tho. Also, if I try to delete a contact that was imported though facebook, I get a message that says "cannot delete files from read only accounts" Is there any way to get rid of facebook and all of the facebook contacts on my Atrix? Or, do I have to reset my phone to factory?
I have both facebook account and facebook for androiod app on my atrix 2 (latest updates applied). For some reason, my friends always see me online on facebook. On desktop facebook, I am always offline. Hence, people keep pinging me. Do you know what could be the reason for my perpetual online status?
I've noticed that facebook got rolled into the pre-installed apps list. Which I'm only guessing is necessary because My Music and My Photos are so heavily integrated with it... But what about the users who really don't want/use these features?I have all of the sharing features turned off...because I don't have a social networking account synced to my phone. However, I notice that the facebook app is always running, and consumes anywhere from 40 to 80 mb's of ram.
I am trying to add facebook account on my atrix 2 but I get message "internal error". I have been trying this for some time but I always get this message. Facebook for android app works fine on the device.
