[Q] Atrix 2 upgrade - Motorola Atrix 2

I have upgraded my atrix 2 to ICS last month but i have noticed the ram gets downgraded to 840mb . and moreover the processor is fixed at 1ghz. i have seen few videos at youtube and the device details at gsmarena.com also shows it has a 1.2 ghz processor. is something wrong with my device? should i wait or flash my rom? reply asap

840mb ram is normal which is same as me,you can try flash 1200mhz oc zip from the supercharge v7 if you want.

Slide down till you see the over clock add on.I think you just need to download the zip and flash it

We have noticed that the 1.2 overclock is totally dependant on phone. There's no rhyme or reason to it. When we first got the ICS leak, some members were at 1.0 while others were at 1.2. I myself was at 1.2. Once again we found that there was no rhyme or reason to it, no matter how hard we looked into it. You can try a generic overclock, however your phone might not be stable at the speed and may bootloop. Be careful here!

What do you suggest? Should i try to overclock?
Or just leave it in 1.0 state? and what about the RAM? I had 1gb in GB but now it is reduced to 840 in ICS. Is there a problem?? And should i stick to ICS or flash my ROM?

i got the stock update from motorola mate...

Tanmoy, I believe you are Asia Retail Stock rom ICS OTA, correct? In case yes then I am unclear as to how you are on 1 cause I am on 1.2. I say this cause though Fall has clarified there is no handle on this occurrence, difference is they are moving using the ICS leak work & forward & whereas we are on stock rom OTA (I don't know know if this could be a reason though).
In is suggested to OC using the link for SvC file I am unsure how it reacts to OTA upgrade stock rom. My suggestion only would be to root using Jim's file (as I did successfully) then use a program like Set CPU, Antutu CPU etc and move up max to 1.2. because phone is stable at 1.2 confirmed. Remember only bone stock.
Though this suggestion will probably be scoffed at, at the same time get an explanation in mail from Moto India as to why other users are upgraded to 1.2 whereas you are on 1.0 & I say this only if you have not tinkered an iota with your phone. Post your final updates
Also the RAM has always been 840 mb & which is a question even I echo because as per advertised spec it is supposed to be 1 GB RAM

Yes i am on Asia Retail Stock i guess. The version reads as 672.1.18.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03

Correct & as replied further to you on your PM.
Anyone, any ideas about the total RAM being 840 against 1 gb as claimed by Moto?

Right now YOU CAN'T ROOT the updated Gingerbread from LG but i'm a sneaky FOX ..... what i did i used NVFlash (google it) than i did the manuall recovery of my froyo than root it again and than used the updated gingerbread.zip file over xda forums... and fualah!!! rooted gingerbread from the updated lg update..... sweet!!!! now if they can somehow bring back the lg camera :/
They have had it rooted for a few hours. Just flash the rooted official gb rom and reboot. It's pure stock just rooted.

The zip file provided to flash through CWM is the new leak but the old baseband. The ONLY way to get the new baseband is to flash the leak using the LG Update Tool.
that's funny cause the baseband is different from the froyo and i had the lg updated GB.... it has the same baseband as the one i have know.... it still has the date on it (jul 15)

Right...at one point, you updated to GB using the LG updater right? That's why you have the updated baseband. So even after you nvflashed recovery and flashed the rooted GB rom, you kept the updated baseband.
However, if someone that did NOT update with the LG updater flashed that same rooted rom, the phone would have the old baseband.
So those of us that got the newer batch of g2x's (P999DWP) CANNOT get the new baseband by any purpose other than waiting for someone to strip it out and release it as a separate flashable file for us. Then again, prayer might work too. Unless, of course, LG adds the DWP's to the list of elible phones. But it would probably make no sense for them to do that since this was supposed to be a test-build update for a limited selection of testers that had the original P999DW models.

I saw that but i don't want to flash the whole ROM just for Root. My phone is working perfect the way I got it right now and just need root to debloat this thing and restore with titanium.
I would flash it over this one if at least three people confirm that gps is instant lock like the update.
When I say instant lock I mean it lol, Even inside our house.

Mine was not written anywhere on the box or the phone itself. In fact, ON the inside of my phone, underneath the battery, it says P999DW. It wasn't until I already reverted to stock, unrooted, restored stock recovery, and ran the LG software updater, that I discovered it read my phone as P999DWP.
With that being said, I had my doubts that I would be able to update anyway, because I know my phone is a newer build than many. My first g2x had a serial number starting with 104, and I know most people here have numbers starting with either 104 or 105...but my new replacement g2x that got here 2 days ago has a serial number starting with 106.
Well, I have confidence in the devs here...and I'm certain good things will come to light soon enough.
Now all we need is that sweet lg camera apk back and more fixes and we are good to go! someone try to get back the lg stock camera!!

[Q] galaxy tab plus lag

I bought this tablet last week, but the problem is...it's very laggy when you play it for 30 minutes. so I rooted my tab and install antutu cpu master, it runs on 1200 mhz but after playing it for approximately 20 minutes, it stuck on 500 mhz. the question is, how can I fix this issue? thx before
edit : this tab runs on 500 mhz when I played games (any games)
Funny you would mention it, because for me its been a bit laggy since the firmware update I got some time ago.

if you wish to fix this issue then you will need to flash the xxkl7 Malaysia firmware but you will loose high speed data coverage unless you have wifi only then your fine haha its the only know release of stock firmware not to have SOD or any other meager issues... it worked for me.
if it works thanks me
for CPU issue, I think the latest tegra donate version supports our device.
other recommendations:
deodex, zipalign. remove bloat. get a startup manager. wipe caches and reboot.
I have the same lag happen to me frequently

[Q] downgrade motorola atrix 2 to stock 2.3.6 from OTA 4.0.4

Hello All,
I AM REALLY SORRY IF THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED MANY A TIMES.
I am from India and running the OTA android 4.0.4 on my Motorola Atrix 2. The version is a headache and spoils the fun of using Atrix 2. I was very much happy with speed that 2.3.6 gave me. But one unlucky day I got the 4.0.4 update and never has it been the same then. I am frustrated to the point of selling off my device.
So i would like to ask anyone who can help me out. Is there anyway I can go to the Stock Motorola Atrix 2 android version 2.3.6 or is there any other 4.0.4 cooked ROM that works better than the OTA 4.0.4? and if there is, can it be installed on my device? I have not yet rooted my device.
P.S. if there is anyway to go back to Stock 2.3.6, nothing could be better than that.
Any help regarding this will be really appreciated.

Assuming your atrix2 is the Indian version there have been reports of people having fxz back to GB without bricking.but again i don't have the Indian atrix2 (just the at&t version) so i haven't done this personally.
What problems are you having on ICS maybe they can be sorted out by some tweaks/a custom ROM

The problems I am facing is a lot of lag when flicking through screens, slow downs, non-responsive apps, basically ICS is creating too much stress on the hardware of the phone. I like my phone to run smooth and lag free, so pls suggest me if there are any ROM's that can solve my issues, and if i can upgrade to those ROM's on my OTA ICS 4.0.4... Thanks DeveshMainsh

I have the same problem with my AT&T Motorola Atrix2. I upgraded it OTA 4 days ago and it is VERY FRUSTRATING!! Its super laggy with lot of lag between flicks, apps open slower and the worst part - once my dialer simply would not place a call on pressing the call button!! What use is a phone that refuses to call??
@Opener did u try factory resetting your phone? Did it help?
@Others, please suggest what I should do. I am a newbie too to android modding so I am not familiar with the currently trending mods/tweaks/cooked roms. Any way to downgrade to 2.3.6? If not, is there any custom firmware that gives better performance?

First thing to do after update is factory reset..if still your phone is slow apply the awesome v6 supercharger script..my phone is super fast..

There is definitely something wrong with the OTA ICS update. I did many factory resets after the update and performance was unbearable. It seemed to work fine for a little while after the reset, but as soon as I signed into my google account it started giving me fits. I even reset, then created a new google account and it was the same thing. So I reset again and never signed into my account, seemed to work okay for a couple of days, but eventually it was the same performance issues.
I took my phone into the AT&T service center and they knew of the "issue". AT&T ended up replacing the phone under warranty and now I'm back to Gingerbread, kind of wishing I had a stable version of ICS because I really like it.

Could always get on ICS leak #1. If you not satisfied, can always go back to GB. From ICS leak #1 ONLY. Leak #2 and OTA CANNOT get back to GB. You'll only end up with a brick.

Can you help me pls to downgrade my phone from 4.04 to gb?
My phone is no longer functioning the way it was ever since it was accidentally upgraded to ICS.
It's an AT&T motorola arix2 mb865.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

[Q] US AT&T A2 soft bricked while OTA and another question

hello
well to make it short i bought the atrix 2 from the US early when it came out and then i came to Dubai and all the annoying bloatware for AT&T have became more annoying by (NOT WORKING) when i was leaving i called them and they gave me the unlock code so im using the phone in Dubai, UAE and its working great, im on Victory Rom (Best rom ever) clean and elegant.
---------
now i found there is official ICS firmware for UAE Retails and it has the same number as my phone MB865 so my question is: can i flash that firmware to my AT&T phone ? and incase that is not possible, if i want a clean ICS ROM (made from the official OTA update not the leak) where i can find it ? and lastly if all is not possible what is the cleanest quickest and best ROM and will it work if i update to OTA ICS ?
sorry for taking too long and Thanks in advance
----------
that was what i wrote earlier but now i tried to do OTA and the phone stuck on the dual core technology screen so im thinking to Fxz but i dont know if i should do it for GB 2.3.6 or ICS ?
thanks a lot

well to make it short i bought the atrix 2 from the US early when it came out and then i came to Dubai and all the annoying bloatware for AT&T have became more annoying by (NOT WORKING) when i was leaving i called them and they gave me the unlock code so im using the phone in Dubai, UAE and its working great, im on Victory Rom (Best rom ever) clean and elegant.
---------
now i found there is official ICS firmware for UAE Retails and it has the same number as my phone MB865 so my question is: can i flash that firmware to my AT&T phone ? and incase that is not possible, if i want a clean ICS ROM (made from the official OTA update not the leak) where i can find it ? and lastly if all is not possible what is the cleanest quickest and best ROM and will it work if i update to OTA ICS ?
sorry for taking too long and Thanks in advance
----------
that was what i wrote earlier but now i tried to do OTA and the phone stuck on the dual core technology screen so im thinking to Fxz but i dont know if i should do it for GB 2.3.6 or ICS ?
thanks a lot

To be very honest with you and AFAIK no one had tried to fxz to ICS from GB.but in theory it should work.
But this is what I'll suggest fxz to 2.3.6 and try OTAing.it should take you to ICS directly.

Ok so get this very clear if you phone it's AT&T one(it has AT&T written on the bottom) then you can't flash any other firmware.your only option is the AT&T firmware( from here).
And there are lots of ROMs that you can try.
StockyEd is pure OTA version of ICS.
Others are Numa, swifty trix ,scv7.Also we have CM10.

[Q] Need Help

Hi, i am really new to all thing like this, especially forum posting and my new phone motorola Atrix 2. so, i'm sorry for mistakes that might come out.
I just bought it a couple days ago and now i really love the phone, on the day i bought i updated the OS version from 2.3.6 to ICS 4.0.4. ICS which gives me a horrible battery drain, however, i did some researches that stated that battery life of Atrix 2 is quite good (but not with ICS).
I have tried to find many things to downgrade it and come to the RSD option, which i'm planning to use. However, i just too scared that this will hard brick my phone. Some people said they were successful and some didn't.
i am using Motorola Atrix 2, with:
system version: 67.220.3.ME865.Retail.en.05
Model Number: ME865
Firmware configuration version: GAS_ASIA_EDISONHKTWNGNC_P012
Build number: 6.7.2_GC-220-EDS-3
so, my questions are, is my phone with ICS Hong kong retail version which is different from AT&T? (as i cannot remember my Gingerbread previous one).
and, should i downgrade with retail Hong kong or Chinese (which one might be better?).
Will, this be successful? (as many people seems can do and some fail).
I've as well searched through many sites about this and could not confirm what firmware should i use and my version of firmware.
I have tried to download the firmware retail Hong Kong from the droid developer site
(sorry i cannot post any link yet). However, my speed download is very slow, may i have another mirror link?. i still don't know if this is because my internet connection or not, but for other site, it seems i can open and download fast compare to this site.
Sorry for asking so many questions, and thanks for all the help.
There is no downgrading after official update.

You have an ME865 or HK version, which is locked down just like the AT&T version. You can not use GB (2.3.6) anymore.
Go look in the dev section, for non-stock (lite) ROMS, there are a number of them that will give good battery life, also disable things you do not use like Bluetooth, WIFI, etc. when not in use. Disable auto email checking, and other push services. This way to can start from ground zero and add things in slowly to see which is causing the drain.
What exactly is the length you are getting between charges, and how much drop do you get say at 8 am you are at 100% and by 12 noon you are at 70%, and by 10pm you are at 20%... Info like this will help us help you. Also you may have a rogue app that is draining the battery by running all the time.

wow, thanks i almost brick my phone then. the battery life is horrible, i charged it full, then by two or three hours it can drop by 10-20%. When i checked the battery status, the screen display takes like 70% of the activity or the android OS 48% and 30% of screen display, although it is in locked state/sleep. is that means there's an app that keep turning on my phone?.
this lite ROM is it about rooting and flashing?, or can i use RSD in fastboot mode?. if i cannot go back to GB so that means i can only use the 4.0.4 or Jellybean ROM?.

Ok, so yes it means that you need to root and install at least BMM or bootstrap. BMM is in the google play store, and bootstrap is in the development section here.
