hey guys, im trying to get a vibrant and found this guy who has a mint condition vibrant but the touch sensitive buttons dont work, the screen is perfectly working but the bottom buttons wont register the touch... some time they do but most of the time they dont... there is no water damage and he says that the phone has not been dropped so, wtf happened here? any software related thing going on here?
ill buy it if there is any way to fix it, maybe some of you have experienced this issue and have an answer?? thanks and please give me some advice
I've returned 2 vibrates because of the home button being haywire. From everything I've heard also, I'd advise you not to get the phone from this guy, its a hardware malfunction.

shyt man i have the same issue on mahh vibrant....ive tryy everythinq i cann and i couldnt get it working....
Someone it depends on the rom yiu install too. I had that problem when I bought mine from a guy at craigslist.. But when I installed axura or other rom, the home button worked flawlessly. I don't totaly agree that its "hardware issue" I think its on the software "roms"

ok i dont even know where to start... I dont usuallypost that many threads *****ing and complaining about my phone.. but enough is enough...
I haven't rooted...(well I did a while ago BUT)... I took part in that beta testing update crap so it unrooted me.. but these problems I have been having are since the LAST "update" which was well over two months ago now (I THINK)...
1st problem I am having is randomly I cannot input text into ANY thing on the phone... I am using smart keyboard pro.. but even when i change input methods it still does not register anything i am typing... in fact when i switch the phone to landscape mode the text box goes dark grey...
2nd also when this happens... nothing will happen when i attempt to make a phone call... i click the name .. nothing happens.. i go into dialer... i cant input the number i try other methods of dialing out nothing happens....
those are the two biggest problems I have as I need to communicate with my clients all day long i cannot have this type of inconsistency.
ohh and also the finger print scanner just plain doesn't work when i go through the process of setting it up.. it wont even register the "test" swipes... its like its broken all together.... any one else having ANY of these problems?? please help me
I've never had any of those problems ever and I've had my atrix since launch date. Maybe you have a deffective device call and see if your provider will do anything about.

Problem is I bought the phone back in march from at&t unlocked it using it on Rogers the phone hasn't always done this only with In the last month and a half or do but it has gotten progressively worse to the point where it is so unreliable Ive had to switch back to my n1 which even though is only first Gen snapdragon technology running cm7... is making my this dual core look pretty ****ty right now...

to be honest... and i know it sounds pretty stupid.. but... i really dont know how to flash the sbf... i know what it is followed the thread on it when it first came out... but never put the effort into figuring out how to actually do it... and right now i just don't have the time to sit down and do that.... (lazy.. it is what it is) but that could very well fix my problem i guess right... ugghh
ok
good luck sell me ur atrix I need a second one for testing purposes
If you feel adventurous enough, try disassembling the device and reseating the LCD/digitizer cable.
I had an issue with a Samsung galaxy s vibrant about a month ago that would register touch inputs when it was just sitting on the table. I did what I suggested above and the problem was solved.

So you cant input any text and you cant make any phone calls. You know what sbf is youve seen the thread and realize that it could fix the problem but your admitedly too lazy to do it. Okay, thanks for sharing!

LOL! I mean, why don't u just go back to it and making useless comparisons?
If you took some time to read, your problem would already be solved.
1. Your digitalizer may not be working well. Guarantee will cover this.
2. SBF from scratch to discard a software issue.
None of the issues you are experiencing is related to the phone being a dual-core mobile or not.
I've been able to solve some problems by reading and taking the advice from the forums.
If your Atrix looks ****ty, it's not on it. Mine shines!
Waste of forum space!
Warranty!
Bye!
Don't let the door hit you....
Err... you have a broken phone, bro. There are lots of bugs with the Atrix but yours is simply a broken phone.
Hell if you want to complain about a phone, give me it. Ill put the work into fixing it and love it. >.< this phone sucks.

C'mon man, flashing an SBF is simple! The instructions on XDA are very detailed. I am a lifelong Mac user, and even I figured out how to flash an SBF via Windows. It would not take more than a couple hours to download all the stuff you need, and re-flash an SBF. What's your build number now?

What are you even doing in this forum? My Aria is sitting in the box on the floor.
Swifted from my Atrix.
I've come across the keyboard input bug with alternate keyboards before.
SBF your phone, there's plenty of guides available how to do this, or you can download the moto update tool from their website.
Well as they say on WOW and other MMORPG...
Can I have your stuff??
The bootloader is officially unlocked and CWM is available for Recovery. Also looks like CM9 is under beta testing on the prime and we should see it coming within a matter of days..This is where the real fun begins.
So who's gonna flash their Primes once this kicks into higher gear as high gears are rotating already!?
As soon as I figure out why CM9 is so amazing I'll probably jump on it. I don't know much about CM since the last unlocked phone I owned was the OG Droid and I don't remember which roms I use to install since it use to get changed every week. But im excited to see the development with this.
i'm going to wait with flashing untill there are some good roms!
The Prime is running a fairly stock version of Android and that is all I ever want out of my Android devices. I have used CM in the past (CM7 on my EVO) and while I enjoyed it quite a bit, in a lot of cases there were just <i>too many options</i>.
I know that sounds silly, but honestly a lot of the settings were confusing, either in placement, because settings in one area over-rode settings in another without warning, or because the settings just weren't explained well.
CM9 (or any other ROM) would have to be completely amazing, and that includes all of the Prime's hardware 100% working in order for me to consider going through the bother of unlocking the bootloader on my tablet and flashing a new ROM.
I will definitely be flashing, just for the prospect of having Ubuntu proper up and running.
Root!!! Unlock!!! Fun!!!

I had my prime since the beginning of January so i cant return it to the store. I dont have any dead pixels or light bleed. Gps doesnt really work but i havent tried since i flashed to ics. If something was gonna warrant me to return my prime it probably would of happened already. i am itching to get off work so i can unlock and throw on cwm recovery. and just wait for the roms to start coming in.

I did and it's working perfectly so far
I posted some benchmarks on the ROM Thread, it's pretty fast and the OC is nice and easy.
Yeah..im unlocking the bootloader now...literally about to click ok on the EULA agreement.. have you had any issues at all?? have you tested GPS, WIFI, and battery drain and compared it to stock? I'd like to know, thanks.
We will see what we will see when we see it (and not before)
It will eed to be a VERY enticing ROM to make me willing to throw away 10 months of warranty coverage on a device that, let's face it, has has it share of issues. (and then some!)
Frustrating is what it will be for some. Agonizing for others. Then there are those that say screw it, you only live once! What a shame if your bricked your Prime flashing a ROM, only minutes after blowing away your ability to replace or repair it under warranty.
Maannn...im slowly joining the "im considering it" group as I just cant force myself to push the ok button on that EULA agreement for unlocking. ..too much money to just theoretically toss in the trash when i got bills to pay...too many "what if's" honestly Ive had the Prime since early January and ive had no problems with Wifi, bluetooth but GPS is completely non functional..theres some dead pixels in the middle and 3 bright dots on the right side looking like a constellation...I notice them and yeah it did bother that they were there once I saw them but thats not enough a reason to return to ASUS for me personally as everything else works like a miracle..but the what if somthing happens a couple months down the road and im stuck with a dead tablet will make Drew a dull boy. ..thats whats itching my neck and pulling a $500 pay out for another tablet is not going to happen unless its some crazy Tron or Ironman 2 device that has 3d holograms and what have you..i'll give it another couple minutes before i make my final decision..im at work anyways so i'll go ship a PC out and come back hopefully with my final decision..=P

Good luck, and I hope you find a ROM to call your own.

it runs well and is not based on cm7 . i know that at least. picture messages should work, but i havent tested that before.
ill add that i am also getting tired of the bugginess of cm9 and cm10. i want my phone to just work. and half of the time it barely does. i am starting to think that the "benefits" of 4.0 are not worth all of the hassle i have to go through to run it.

theres a few still. but not many. most people are still using cm10 with its 100s of flaws. i have gotten to the point where that is just too frustrating for me any more. i used cm9 for about the past 4 months, longest run with a rom. recently though, all of the glitchiness just has me fed up. sometimes i pull down my notifications and they just arent there. other times my phone reboots itself during a phone call, comes back on and somehow it is still connected to the call. im just really tired of it doing things that i have "learned to live with" or things i dont understand. ill mess around with gingerbreadphone7 a bit this afternoon and see what the deal is.
lets keep our fingers crossed that nitro gets a dx2 and releases more updates for eclipse.
in the mean time i would give PMing peppermint (gp7 OP) a shot.

i am leaning towards the razr m , mainly because the DNA doesnt have an sd card slot??! and the s3 is quite a huge phone. i know that a new wave of phones are around the corner, but i also dont really have hundreds of dollars to drop on a new device. so in short, i am for sure staying android. i cant handle the size of the s3. and there arent really many other options....lol
ill just add that if 16g of space is more than enough for you(my music collection squashes that immediately) , then the DNA is for sure the way to go. the specs on it are amazing.

i did try it that afternoon. i was able to get 1 out of 6 picture messages actually sent. very strange. i am actually still running it now, as i am too lazy to switch back to eclipse or sbf at this point, with my upgrade so close. the rom has been abandoned for quite a while now though. although it does look nice .
glad to hear that the s3 seems nice. ! if you are due for an upgrade, it is only 50 bucks on amazon. same price you were gonna pay for the palm... check it out! i want the s4, but i dont have 150-200 dollars to toss at a new phone, and the s3 is not all that different anway. in some ways i like it better.

1. its rooted and keeps telling me I need to update. I turned the setting off for checking for updates but its really annoying to keep getting this pop up. Is there a way to stop the phone from telling me this?
2. Now that I am rooted is there a way to install the new updates with out loosing root or tripping knox?
3. Since im rooted is there a way to get google wallet working?
4. How in the world did I put up with the evo lte so long?

You may want to see if someone has a deoxidezed stock rom or switch to a AOSP rom. AOSP don't have update notifications. The uploaded stock based roms usually have it the notification removed or disabled.

Not really. Doing any OTA updates always runs the risks of loosing root. You can try using something like Voodoo Root Keeper, but not guaranteed to work. SuperSuperUser has some functionaltiy to try to save root. I think TWRP may it as well. Like the rest or the root keeping tools, none of it is guaranteed to work. In my experience though, they have saved my rear a couple times, on a different phone.
Best policy, just wait a day or two for someone to upload the updated stock rom that has root. Plus, in that time, you'll find out if the update is FUBAR'd or breaks any of your favorite apps.

I'm the "Ditto" and the "And how", not the OP, but I share his pain.
I wasn't trying to imply you didn't know better. I was more answering how the OP possiblely was ignorance about the Note 3, although not the greatest answer.
I'm still on the Note 2. But going from the Evo 4G to Note 2 was a new world open up to me. That may be par for the course when you go from a two year or more old phone to a new flagship. Not that aren't differences now, the hassle or breaking my contract and costs for benefits of upgrading didn't seem worth it. Plus, maybe, if I'm luckly, the Note 4 will be a 6" screen and have the triband to take advantage of Sprint's Spark's network compatibles.
That said, it's can be challeng keeping up with all the new tech on phones. And with that, there is always something better around the corner. I just know I was elided when Sprint got the Note II since I wanted the original Note and the first Dell Streak (5" smartphone). I've bought into the Kool Aid called the phablets and don't see me going anywhere.

I didn't have the horrible previous phone. My situation, I knew my phone had just become dated. I was running three different roms through boot manager, which I needed to switch roms depending on what I needing to do. I have feeling I may not be quite as bad with the Note 2 in a year, but I think it'll be showing it's age by then.
But going to the Note 2, I had the same feeling. It was a breathe of fresh air. Like the tech heavens had reopened. I'm just hoping there is nice leap in hardware from the Note 2 to Note 4. I see the it more it just being a minor upgrade to the Note 3. Kind of like what Apple was doing with iPhone and the S variants.
Thanks guys! I did get it rooted with root-de-la-vega and I am knox 0x0. I also got the notification to go away by freezing the "update service" with TB. Im not sure I want to update at all now, this is seriously the most solid phone I have had in a long time and it works flawlessly the way it is. I cant see any reason to update at all. to be honest im not sure how to tell what version im on now with a Samsung phone lol.
As for the evo, I was not a bad phone, it was pretty good at the time, it is not note close to the excrescence this phone gives you! I will say HTC does make a better "feeling" phone, but I could care less! I want it to run like a beast!!!!!! Plus I put all my phones in cases on day one so what it feels like only matters for a few minutes lol .

Glad you're set. I really hated my Evo, but I had the original Evo also, and Evo 2 couldn't compare so it left me grumbling. Very true about the feel. The Evo feels more substantial to me, but like you I'd rather have the beast (case goes on all my devices day one, too). :good:
Enjoy!
