Help *Official* Atrix Problems/Issues Thread

I have not been able to connect to my Cox E-mail Account using the settings I had and double checking them on the Cox Support page. Anyone else had a problem with Cox e-mail set-up??:confused:
 
Other than data speeds, which ill give att the benefit of the doubt for now, the only thing that bothers me is the yellow color the screen produces. On android related apps, it shows up as a goldish color.
 
Has anybody had any luck getting Google Earth to run? I installed it, but when I try to open it just get's locked in a loop. Any advice?
 
My Atrix shut down and did not reboot last night. No response from the power button, or any other for that matter. Had to yank the battery, been fine since. I'm not rooted btw...

Let me try! Haven't [re]installed it yet.

[edit]

Yeah, it runs to the splash screen with Google Earth, the earth image and the spinning "wait" animation and no further. I'm on WiFi too, so I would figure if it was fetching more data, it would be pretty quick.
 
Mine did a random reboot yesterday about 3 hours after opening. It was hooked up to a USB port at the time and I'd probably loaded half a dozen apps but nothing risky (I don't think) Pandora, Ebay, dropbox, Google search, pogoplug & speedtest. I've tried to reproduce it by opening and running as many apps I as could and so far so good.
 
Yeah I just tried the google earth on mine and it locks up and after a little bit ask for me to wait or force close it:(

and with the other issues people are having, I have not had any reboots of any kind and phone has been flawless until I tried to run Google earth, and the slight yellow tint of the very bottom touch buttons thats it
 
I haven't been able to sync facebook with my existing contacts with the facebook android app. I mentioned this elsewhere but I think it's a problem with blur. I don't want to use the "blur" facebook, that one sucks and populates my entire facebook into my address book, which I definitely don't want. I just want it to sync info with my existing contacts. Anyone get this working or find a work-around?

I just installed Google Earth and its running fine for me. Searched my home address and it found it and zoomed in.

Lucky you! Did you have to do anything tricky to get it going or should I just try to install it again?

yeah It wouldn`t work the first time I just reinstalled it a second time works perfect I have no Idea why it didn`t work the first time:confused:
 
My biggest gripes or issues with the phone is the power/screen unlock button is way too hard to tap/hit. You really have to dig in with a nail to get it to push. So used to the ease of the N1 button right on top.

Other issue was that none of my apps downloaded in the market. I dont know why this doesn't work but its too time consuming to download over 50 apps individually. When I got the Inspire last week it downloaded everything automatically. I guess thats the difference between Sense and Blur.

My other gripe is that I cant seem to get my corporate email account to work. Theres just too many damn input options (Incoming server, outgoing server), Im not an IT admin. The Nexus One was very simple to get going and didnt ask all that crap. Maybe its not a problem with the phone per se but the user, still, it shouldnt be that hard.

while I agree that the button is hard to press, I don't see it as much of a problem because I have gotten used to it, and I actually love where the button is located. It seems to be just perfect because it is a little difficult when the button is on top to reach all the way up to the top of the phone, but on the atrix I can comfortably reach it from however I am gripping the phone.
 
Screen has become very unresponsive/buggy in just the past 30 min (fine all day).

Pissing. Me. Off.
 
Can anyone tell me if themes made for android 2.1 will work on the atrix?

Thank you!
I'm pretty tech savvy but couldn't find that one.
Now if I can find a if there is a setting to change the notification light to only blink for a certain length of time...without rooting.

If you use disable the screen always on option, it will also cause the phone to turn off if you have it docked more then likely.

Actually, the best way I figured to press the power is hold in left hand, then take your right hand/thumb over ear speaker, use tip of right pointer finger to press. Very easy.

mine seems to get hot real easy. is anyone else experiencing this?

There's another thread on this here or in xda... but its believed its the little LED lights in the menu bar. They get warm, but I've tested it for a while and they only get warm, not dangerously hot... at least so far!! :rolleyes:

I installed in it was stuck at the load screen. I hit back, then went back into it and it was frozen and force closed after about 30 seconds. I then went back in again and it's now running great.
