Ever since I've had my Atrix, the wifi randomly switches off. My question is: should I exchange my Atrix, or is there a way to fix this?

I am on the ATT network with no modifications done to my Atrix.

Have you got any power saving stuff enabled?

Unless it was enabled by default; no.

I think the Atrix's WiFi radio is just weak. My mom's iPhone gets 3 bars of WiFi across the house from my router, but my Atrix drops to two bars if I just go into the next room. My Atrix struggles to hold one bar across the house. It sucks, but then again, I am using the crappy router that comes with U-Verse.
I exchanged some PMs with a moto dev about this a few weeks ago. I have a weak wifi signal at work and it will drop if I start using marketplace or facebook extensively. Part of his/her PM:
The "bars" shown by the UI have pretty big margin of error but RSSI reading less then -80 pretty much puts link at the lowest end of the budget. Also that does not account for interference really because Wifi is simple technology. So if you are at -80 at a workplace that has tons of 2.4 RF you will have disconnects and many retransmissions. This is why using of the market place probably triggers something in IC because you have lots of data and error counters go up a lot.

If you're talking about a weak signal, there is nothing to do for that unless you increase your router's transmit power. If it drops, then go to wifi settings > menu capacitive button > wifi sleep policy > never.
I changed the wifi sleep policy and it still switches off randomly. The wifi will still switch off randomly even if I'm sitting right next to my wifi source.

What battery settings are you using? Is it power saver? Set it to performance, if so.
Yeah the wifi still dies

For the sake of testing, try disabling all security to see if the wifi connection is ok or not while sitting next to your wireless router. Also, could you let us know what kind of wireless router you are using (make and model#), and the type of securtiy you aare using, e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2&TKIP, etc?
I have tried on 3 different modems, the current one I'm using is a wireless router WGR614 V9 with wpa security, I tried switching it off and I still had the same problem. The other 2 where in encrypted and still disconnected me. I also have the problem at ATT hotspots.

that's not good. If you're up for it, reflash with stock and try wifi with nothing installed. If you still get the disconnects then get a replacement.
What does reflashing to stock entail? Is it as easy as ODIN?

download from moto here. I haven't done it, but it looks more safe/less painful than an SBF flash.
I'm already at the latest version, through all the updates I've always had the same problem. I'm not seeing a stock firmware download.

Today I was trying to use my the Google Navigation on my Amaze and it worked absolutely horridly. So when I managed to basically get to my destination blind folded, I flashed the agps patch in CWM and it didn't make the gps any better. It doesn't seem to get any fixes on any satellites unless I am on wifi which makes sense because it is using the wifi network to base my location off of. I'm going on a huge trip in less than twelve hours so it would be really useful if my gps would be working functionally. So if anyone knows how I can make it work 10x better, that would be great. Thanks in advance!
Try this app.

Personally, after I have downloaded some A-GPS data with that app, I never had any problem with GPS after using this app.
And for Google navigation make sure you have download offline-maps from server using lab-feature if you aren't on unlimited data plan. I've had a time Google Navigation didn't work because my data connection was off
Maybe it is a good idea to purchase offline navigation app from android if this is very important trip.
I have attached the GPS testing from my phone.

Thanks very much for your reply. I won't be purchasing an because I will be using my Flyer as the GPS mainly for this trip, but I just want the GPS on my phone to be reliable for when I don't have my Flyer with me.

Which version of G Maps are you using? I know the previous versions were buggy and had to update them. But I'm not too sure is the navigation app needs g Maps for it to run properly.

I'm using the latest version. The kicker is I have GPS and a data connection on my Amaze but my Flyer only has the GPS and it's working way better right now.

I'm using bulletproof 1.3.1 (stock kernel) and gps performance is poor for me, too. Accuracy is fine but awful battery drain. I use it so rarely, i haven't even bothered messing with it,
(The benefit of living in Maine: only so many places to go and you re born with the directions to them already. )
My navigation works great on Energy ROM. Used it Saturday.

I'm on enrgy rom too and have no gps issues at all. Just checked and I'm getting a fix on 9 of 13 sats while sitting in my living room.
My t-mobile amaze, with completely stock rom locks onto the gps in seconds. No problem with mine.
On my resound I have cyanogen mod 9 it is s-off and rooted ever since I have done these things (it has been about a week) it seems like there is low service and my 3g cuts out and won't come back. Any ideas on this?

Carrier name shows up as Maritime. When making a call, the app shows that the phone is immediately hanging up, but then the call goes through anyways and shows up in your status bar. You can select the notification to get back to your dialer.
Everything else seems to be working so far, however.

Already known and reported. According to dvhexer Maritime is also AT&T. The same thing was happening to me, until I just flashed back to the default .33 N4 radio.
Thanks for this. Is there a thread that contains a list of radios?

+1 for this. I was looking for the stock modem that comes on SnowJB that way I have it before I flash this just in case.
Does this increase cellular reception or Wifi signal? My G has problems with low service areas and will often get poor Wifi signal from multiple routers. Just curious because I'm not sure what a different radio is or does or where to get others. Sorry for the bother.

8 meter gps accuracy in a basement is good. Being in BFE USA doesn't really impact GPS performance, it actually helps so long as you're not under a dense tree canopy. The lack of tall buildings to play havoc with the RF coming in from SPACE helps a bit. I've seen 1 meter accuracy in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas and that's more BFE than anywhere in Virginia.

Maritime Communications is partnered with AT&T. Mainly used for cruises and such. While people on other networks like T-Mobile and Verizon may be charged roaming / international rates, AT&T does not. I preferred Maritime back on my Atrix 4G. Granted, I'm connected to AT&T Microcell, now.

Well after going through 4 GNex replacements VZW has decided to send me a HTC DNA to replace it, and it will be here monday.
I am curious as to the two different DNA Development Threads... ?
Can someone explain?
Also as I have been reading threads (still reading now) that the current RUU is unrootable?
Is this still true? ( I may have already got to "that thread" by the time I get an answer)
Just trying to get some info before I delve into it.

Are you referring to the DNA Android Development and DNA Original Android development boards? The first one (loosely speaking) is more for kangs, and roms that are based off of stock, as well as roms that are based off of other people's work (i.e. not fully original work). The original development board is geared towards roms built from source (i.e. AOSP roms), as well as development that introduce original features.

This is false. I recommend using Moonshine to root and unlock your device on the latest update.

Agreed.
I intentionally moved from the gnex to the DNA, as I had a coupon to get it for free and I felt the deal couldn't be beat.
After a slow start (as s-off wasn't available yet) when I first got it, I am now absolutely thrilled with it and couldn't be happier.
Performance is so much better than the Gnex, it's ridiculous.
Well now FedEx can't get here soon enough after reading your comments.

4G is a-ok. I had a Gnex once upon a blue moon and the differences are staggering. I found the screen to be dark and brooding no matter how high the brightness was set. On the DNA, even at low brightness the colors seem to pop. You'll be more than happy.

Have you tried to ruu it? Maybe that will help. Also try after ruu going into stock recovery and factory reset from there. It fixed my radio when I was stuck on roaming... Maybe it will help you. Also have you tried reseating the sim card? Those have been known to be very touchy on our phones
