Hey guys.
Tonight has been a very frustrating night overall.
I'll write my current problem here, so that those who can help can reply right away, below you can find a summary of the nights problems.
I can't get mobile data to work. It says its on if I go into settings, but I get no connection. If I add the widget in motoblur and try to toggle it, it says "Mobile Data is unavailable", and nothing else. Any solutions..? I have rebooted phone several times, as well as removed SIM card and put it back.
Long story:
I uninstalled Launcher7 today since I wanted to use something more "regular" before the release of the european ICS. After uninstalling it and fiddling around with Moto Home Fix to get the phone to even recognize that I have a default launcher, it got stuck in airplane mode. There was just no getting it out of it. Eventually I got so pissed of I just factory reset the phone. Now I have normal radio, and Wifi, but no Data connection. The error it gives is "Mobile data is unavailable" when I try to widget-toggle it.
If I go the long way in settings it says its on. Do I need to do something in the first time setup before it starts working? Its been so long I dont remember. I have registered my google account.
Please guys, help!
Do you have Verizon? I know in the Play store there is an app by Verizon to fix mobile data connection problems.

No, I have Tele2/Comviq, a Scandinavian operator.
However it seems that when I uninstalled the launcher it also cleared all my APN-settings. Which was.. A whole bunch that I manually entered. Oh well, guess that servers me right for not keeping a backup.
Will report this to the Launcher7 author, even though I doubt he'll do anything since its been a long time since last update.

First off, I love my Atrix, but there are just a couple of small problems with it, nothing to major.
The one that I have not seen discussed here (maybe just my phone) is the market being wonky over AT&T's network. Here is what happens...
Ill be on AT&T's network trying to do things on the market like update an app or install a new one, but when I start the market up, it gives an error about not being able to access the network. The thing is though, I have a strong 3G signal.
My fix is annoying, but it works. I go to another app that uses network data and load something so it *establishes* a connection to the network, then, when I go back into the market, it works 100%. I was just wondering if this is a problem anyone else has had and if so what their fixes are?

I had this problem and here's what I did go to manage applications and click all filter at top(2nd from right) and clear the data and cache from all the google stuff like google services framework (also download manager, google backup transport) and then go to market and clean the data and cache. at this point when you tried to get your market it give you an error message but don't worry about that just give it a few minutes then turn on your wifi and connect to the market through wifi then from there turn on your data connection. If still getting error just reboot and should be fine with same original issue. Last go back and clear data and cache from market and hit uninstall updates. Wallah done. READ THIS BF STARTING. I don't know what part or all of that fixed it but that's the order I went in and that's the results I got you can skip right to the end with just the market clearing in on installing updates or you can do the whole process. Your call.

I am having the same exact problem as you and I use the same cheap solution...and the scary thing is that it sometimes just happens when using a browser too...it says that there is no internet despite the fact that I clearly have a strong signal that says h+...and the upload and download arrows disappear, not just fade to grey signifying no traffic....does anyone have a solution? Unrooted 4.1.57
Was just about to post this xD It's quite irritating.
So just as the title says, a few days ago my data just stopped working. it will show H+, but it won't have the bars underneath or anything. I literally try everything, and sometimes it works and then just disappears again.
I got so frustrated today with it that I flashed down to 1.5.7 then OTA'd to 1.8.3 and guess what..it's still doing it!
Another frustrating thing about it is that I can't receive pictures or anything. I'm very close to going back to my iphone 4. Has this been happening to anyone else?
i have this problem too and like you i tried everything with fail.
maybe it's your apn settings?
i've reset them twice, and it still doesn't do anything. i'm ready to just exchange it out
this happened when i ****ed up my APN settings.
go to you APN list and then make sure that AT&T US is selected. Wait till it connects to the AT&T cell tower and then restart your phone.
Thats what worked for me.
This is happening to me too, I don't know what else to do I've done almost everything I can, I even restored to factory settings only to find out it would wipe all of my APN settings (I thought it would set them to default, but it just erased everything)
I've now set the APN settings but it still doesn't connect to my data plan. I'm really running out of options, I'm really frustrated.
i have att us hsdpa selected. i'll try just doing att us

I've had this issue...baseband .15P
I'm on the fido network in Canada, it doesn't matter which APN I use
.15. i'm going back to att soon to just exchange it out and hope that fixes it
edit - yep gave me a new phone/sim, still can't access the market from data or receive/send pictures. I'm stumped
well I ended up switching back to my iphone 4, still have my atrix just isn't active.
turns out that I was missing a feature that would have given me full data access vs limited.

If you think about the number of phones that are out there and people only generally post when there's an issue, I wouldn't worry about exchanging it. I've had two phones with no issues.

today I backed up my iphone SMSs and loaded them with sms backup and restore... everything went fine, but then my phone reset and there is a circle with a line through it where the data connection icon should be and says there is no sim installed.... I also cant dial out, but I received a call on the way home from work.
trying to open message app on the phone gives me a time out message and asks me to kill or wait. then the phone just freezes. I'm looking everywhere for a solution... first time android user so this is driving me a little bit nutty.
on my iphone I would just restore firmware... I guess thats what I should try here?

Have you done any type of changes to the phone like rooting, etc.? Anything you can think of that might have caused it or changed something right before it happened?
No, I haven't rooted or anything. All I did was download a few basic apps and then try to transfer my data to the new phone. I ordered a jig and don't want to do anything until it arrives.
I have solved the data issue, somehow the sim came slightly out of place. Once I reseated everything was good. is the sim slot that finicky?
i also did a factory reset and started from scratch and worked out the issue with the text messages. I appreciated your willingness to help a noob, thank you.
at&t update blocked my atrix
I have at&t atrix but it's unlocked and I'm using it in Europe with my carrier.
Couple days ago I was notified that there is an update from att and that I should download, which I didn't do, but anyway phone downloaded package itself and it reminded me every hour that I should install it and no data will be lost. I did that finally last night but now I can't get it to work, there is android icon and ! sign on it and it has been there the whole night but will not turn on again. finally I took the battery out and than returned it, it started to work for one minute and than it showed -turning off, and android icon is now on the screen again???
Please help or advise!
If you press the up and down volume buttons when the icon appears, do you enter a menu?

I'll give it a try and reply.....
well I took it to service center, they told me that they can enter in that menu, but they can root it again, but all data will be lost.... can I avoid loosing data???
If they just factory reset and reflash the rom, you shouldn't lose things like pictures and music, but you will lose app data including saved games and text messages.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
it's done, they charged me cca. 30$ but managed to save phonebook and photos, all else is lost. I can deal with that but I'm frustrated that this was caused by at&t update where I didn't have option to say no, just install now or install later. It also said that all data will be saved, which obviously was a lie. How can they do that, I didn't want this update at all.
This is very inconvenient for me, but than again it seems that no one cares!
Official update my as.......
Thank you for advice but this sucks!
So a few days ago my friend gave me his old phone -- a Motorola Devour. I was pretty happy about it, until i found out about Motoblur, and how until i fully disabled it it would just factory restore the phone every time I turned it off and back on. So then I went through a huge process trying to disable that and keep everything on restart, which I did. My question here, as you may have gathered from the title, is this: Is there a way to update the phone without having a service provider? The main reason I did all of this was to try and get some free wifi texting apps because I haven't had a way of communicating with some of my friends in a while, none of which I can find in the store, I'm assuming because the phone is out of date. Thanks in advance

I had to install a root, then go into the files and delete the thing that makes blur required to run the phone without factory resets every time it restarts.
