Help with Screen light problems and no incoming text messages - Motorola Atrix 2

A noob in need of help...
Coming from 2.3.5 rooted then updated to 2.3.6, lost root then rooted again... After the 2.3.6 update my screen back light would not respond or turn on and off in low light or dark rooms. I have to turn the room light on then press the unlock button to wake the phone. At times it responds quick to the light, most of the time i have to try multiple times. In sunlight this rarely happens! So I installed the supercharged ROM v5 hoping it would correct this and it continues to happen. Please help!
Also after installing supercharged ROM v5 and the update I stopped receiving text messages. I can send and they receive my message but I do not receive theirs. I noticed under settings/about/status that my phone number doesn't show anymore.
Edit: Well I see my number is back in setting/about/status... My problems are still going, but after turning my phone on this morning 1 text came in... i let the phone load up and had somebody text it and i received nothing!
Is there a way to check my text messaging settings for Att?
Im trying to avoid calling them...

I would say flash the fkz but create a Android backup of your data first. Just sounds something got corrupted during the OTA update.

Problem with text message notification while in standby

I have developed a strange issue as of late with my text message notifications while my Fuze is in standby. When I have the system/ring volume up, it notifies me just fine, even when in standby, but when I put it to vibrate I get no notification (besides the flashing ring) of a text message or email. This only happens when I am running a rom that is not stock. The problem goes away when I flash back to stock, but re-appears again if I flash to a custom rom, regardless of which chef's rom I use. Any help would be much appreciated, as its killing me to be stuck on this stock rom lol.
this happens to me to , you should try G-profile . look it up on google or search it here .
basically you can make a profile that overrides all other profiles and if the notifacation only works for a period of time you can make enough profiles that it switches before it stops notifing again . :] good luck !
Thanks for the advice, I will give that a try if all else fails. I would really like to figure out the root of this issue, rather than a work-around. I have noticed questions about this issue pop up in other rom threads, but no answers seem to have been posted.
Edit: The phone functionality is unaffected by the change from tone to vibrate, it works as expected when I receive a phone call. The text message and email notifications, however, do not.
I have the same thing on the ROM is my sig.
The only way I found to make it work is that you have to check the Vibrate option in the Sounds & Notifications for the alert you want.
For example...New Test Message...it wouldn't vibrate if that was unchecked, but if I checked it, then it vibrates just fine.
for me i get text notifications but no email notifications :[ . i use the app for the work around because people have actually been mean to me saying that its impossible to not get notifacations :[
I have the same problem. Ive checked vibrate under text and all, yet it does not vibrate and only does the flashing ring. What should i do

[q] help please!!!!!

if flashing a whole different rom, and changing sims didn't work, then sorry buddy, I won't be able to help you anymore...
last option, search in market for an app that totally disables vibration...(can't link you though, since I don't use google's market...too slow for me)

Phone doesn't vibrate after rooting?

So I rooted my phone and flashed to the latest Synergy ROM but now my phone doesn't vibrate when I get text messages. Only when I get a phone call. Is this a known issue with the ROM or is there a fix for this? I've enabled vibration and all of that but still nothing. This also happened with my EVO when I flashed to Cyanogenmod 9. Are there any ROMs out there that do vibrate for text messages?

In your messaging app hit your setting scroll down to notification setting and go to vibrate and set it to what you like!

[Q] Hangouts not always giving notification of recieved message

I have posted here but recieved no answer. I figured my question belongs here anyway, so I won't bump the other thread.
I am trying to use Hangouts as my default SMS app (It is also currently the only SMS app installed on my device) because I do like it. However I noticed that sometimes I don't get any notification when I recieve a text message, no vibration, nor sound nor notification in the status bar. As a result, I miss quite a lot of texts. Notice that I do recieve those texts, if I check the app they are there, text bold to indicate they are not yet read. I just don't get the notification. Also, most of the time I do get the notifications without a problem. So to be clear, this is about some SMS's, not about all.
As far as I know this happens when I recieve the message very shortly after I put down my phone (my routine: send text, press 'backbutton' once to get in the hangouts overview, and then I press power to shut of the screen and put the phone down.) If I get a message let's say within half a minute of me turning of the screen I won't have a clue I recieved the message until I go look in hangouts to check. This happens often when someone is quick to respond to my own message, but could maybe be happening with other messages I recieve in that time. I don't think this happens to messages I recieve when the screen has been off for a time, but I can't say that with certainty.
I have a HTC One S currently running CM11, but I had this problem on stock ROM too. However never with the HTC stock messaging app.
I have found similar problems here on the forums, but no satifying answers. I hope someone has a solution?

Can't Turn Flash Alert Off

Hi all,
So I'm not sure if this has been happening since day one on my new Verizon Lg V50 or not but I noticed today that every time I get a phone call or text, the camera flash flashes. I only realized it today because the phone was in my shirt pocket when i got a phone call and it basically blinded the coworker I was chatting with.
I've checked the accessibility options and turned flash alert off, and I've booted the phone into safe mode. It still flashes whenever I get a call.
Can someone please check their phone for me and let me know if this is happening to you too?
Thanks!!
[email protected] if you'd be kind enough to email me.
OK come on guys... I'd really appreciate it if someone who has this phone can just let me know if they are experiencing the same issue I'm having!!

Are you sure you have also turned off Flash Alerts on Settings - Sounds - Flash Alerts?
Besides Flash alert is a preset for Silent and Vibrate only mode
And finally my favorite choice. If you can not find the cause of the problem, you can still try a hard reset.
