Hi,
I've had my shift for about a year now, and it has treated me wonderfully so far. The fact that the phone has so much more power under the hood than many realize is amazing, but there seems to be an issue I've been having for about 2 weeks now is bringing me here looking for advice.
My Shifts regular phone headset seems to have died. Whenever I place a call, or try to listen to (e.g. vm) anything via the headset I can't hear anything. When I play anything through the speaker though (music, calls ON speaker) it works fine. At first I thought it was the ROM I was using so I did a complete wipe and flashed a fresh one (even tried a stock rooted) but nothing would work. I do have the insurance for it, but my dilemma is that I think having a stable root and being completely set in that manner is more important to me than having a working headset on a non-rooted 2.3 phone.
Any suggestions on what I should do to possibly fix the phone? And ideas as to whether or not I would be able to root a replacement phone as I've rooted this one and not have any issues (temp root only, etc etc)? I'm stuck because not many understand why I wouldn't want to get a new phone except me.. lol.
Thank you in advance
Well I know 2 Saturdays ago my ear piece quit working so did my girls and my dudes all at the same time

Really? Wow.. and the speaker works fine? That's crazy because that's exactly when mine stopped working, did you get a new one?

So I've been an atrix 2 user for a few months now and its a great phone...Its rooted and I just updated it with the latest ota update and kept the root and all of that good stuff. But one problem that I have been having with my phone for the past month or so is that my phone will heat up like CRAZY! Then restart and then it wont let me use it. The power button doesnt let me turn the phone on...nothing. The only way I can wake my screen is by putting the power chord in and that just lights it up it doesnt let me use the phone. It shows that everything is functioning in the background I still receive messages and my apps update ect. but I cant use me phone. It goes through this cycle for about an hour then completely kills my my battery after it runs its course. I have no idea whats wrong with my phone. Can anyone help or have any suggestions? Anything would be appreciated!
Sounds to me that you need a new phone. Is it through att? You may need to do a warranty exchange.

Yes it is from AT&T I had to do the same thing with my original Atrix, but I traded up for the atrix 2
That doesn't sound good... the OG Atrix had a couple problems with that but I've never experienced it on the A2. You should try for a warranty exchange... look at the noob thread and flash the fxz, apply the OTA update and then take it to AT&T.
Yeah I think thats what I'm going to end up doing...this especially happens when I'm listening to music on my phone it loves to freak out on me. I'm just starting to have my doubts about Motorola because my original Atrix gave me problems and I so desperately hoped that it would be fixed in this version. Is it just bad luck I got 2 phones from motorola that both freak out on me? or is it me?
I'd say bad luck.
I've had 4 A2's and, while none of them were perfect, none of them had overheating problems.

My A2 is my first Motorola. I have an htc and two samsung phones and my A2 is by far more stable than any of my previous phones. I would say you have just gotten two bad phones. Do what you want to but i would stick with Motorola. Just giving my two cents.

Try cpu master pro and change governor to ondemand.
It works on my a2.
The major problem for me now is sometimes signal dissapear.

Interesting if the problem is the governor...
Also for a free way to change the governor use ROM Toolbox (free) and go to CPU Sliders.

I really appreciate all the feedback from everyone, what I did so far is that I flashed the stock FXZ file back to my phone then updated and seems to be working like a charm buy I still think its too soon to say how its really doing. Instead of second guessing myself I think Im going to get a fresh A2 today hopefully and I won't have any problems like this again! Thanks to all the help from everyone!

I would also take a good a good look at the apps you use, some apps leave themselves running and take some good resources, and can cause your phone to overheat because of this. take a look at the resources in use from settings --> applications, go to the running apps tab, do this when the phone is hot and see what apps are taking a good bit of resources. Just a thought, as I have had this issue before, not on the exact phone I am on now, since I found the offending app and did not reinstall it the last time I got a replacement of this phone.
I wish I could check it when my phone gets hot, but when it gets to that point my phone boots me out. Not letting me touch it at all :/

Apparently the systempanel app (paid version in the market) can identify which apps were running when your phone rebooted, won't tell you whats causing it but may get you close. I dunno how to use th app very well though but I heard good things.

I've started having this problem today as well. Two days ago I noticed a very quick drop in battery level to almost nothing after going below 50%. Same thing yesterday and today. Today was the first day that I noticed the severe overheating.
I'm using the SCv5.1 ROM. I've been using it for about a month without trouble, but any chance that's the cause? I'd love to not need to return the phone to ATT.
The only time I experienced these symptoms was after restoring an AtrixBlaze ROM.
Flashed back to stock w/root, then OTA. Restored a backup of RebelROM. No problems since. Was very concerned for a day that it had some how damaged the phone.
I've been through Iphone, Palm Pre and HTC, this phone beats them all except for WebOS which was the software on the Pre. That was an amazing OS with a lot of potential.

Using Jimbridgman's advice above, I looked at some of my apps. I had been using Green Power Premium (paid) and it just updated a few days ago. I disabled it and have not had an issue since, but I have yet to go through an entire power cycle.
I bought my Atrix 2 in India yesterday. Everything works like charm except the earpiece. The voice I get from the other party is so shrill that I need to keep my phone away from my ear to understand what they are saying . There are 4 settings in all to change the voice quality of the earpiece but it seems they are of no use. On the last setting, I can even hear my own voice from the earpiece. Also, when I tap my phone around the 3.5mm jack area, I hear a sound that makes me feel that something is loose inside. Is it a known issue or a bug or its just me who’s facing this? What’s the way out? Thanks in advance.
Hey guys, I'm sure a lot of you are already on one of the ICS roms already. First of all hail all devs who have made our life better before official releases!
However I have seen posts talking about them experiencing Bluetooth problems just like I am right now and mostly mentioning the Music player stuttering and similar issues like that.
My problem is a little different. My aftermarket car deck worked perfectly with all the phones I have connected to, including my GB i727. However after I flashed the ICS my bluetooth connection kept dropping out randomly. Starting with the deck not auto connecting when I get in the car. Then after I manually connect "Phone" in the menu, it will MOST LIKELY disconnect after (on average) 2 minutes with the "Media" still checked (although the connection is not shown on either the icon in the status bar or the display of the deck). Weirdest thing is, sometimes it actually keeps on working after it connects.
I didn't think that would be a problem for me because I don't use Bluetooth earphones and I use my iPod instead of my phone to play music in my car. So I even disabled my Holo Music and my Google Play... I'm on Sean's SKY ICS 4.2D
I am just wondering if bluetooth misfunctioning is a common problem on all current ICS roms for our i727 or is it just the rom I am on right now? Because I drive a Manual car, the hand free in the car is actually very needed for me. So spread your wisdom on the bluetooth issues please!
Thank you!
my jvc car radio doesn't work at all with bluetooth sense updating to sky I c s. The stock I c s leak seemed to work pretty well however. Now the phone vibrates as if it's going to force close then disconnects the bluetooth within seconds of connecting every time.
Strangely, the radio does continue to play for a few minutes even though the radio and phone both say the device is disconnected. All kinds of weirdness going on here! I am going back to the stock leak as soon as I have time to reinstall all my apps for the millionth time.
On a side note, my monster bluetooth speakers seem to work flawlessly with all the roms i have tried. Seems I need an exterminator as I am over run with bluetooth bugs!
I am a programer. I wish I had the time to work on these and help develop these roms. The developers here are some truly talented and generous folks! After finals next week, I will try to devote some of my time to helping out this community which I gain so much from. Thanks to all of you guys! I can't wait until cm9 is in beta/release stage! That will be a dream come true!

Same here.
JVC KW-XR810 car stereo running updated firmware.
Bluetooth crashes almost immediately and the phone buzzes.
I use bluetooth for playing pandora or internet radio.
UCALC worked perfectly.
UCLD2 is where problems started for me.
I've tried both fixes listed in the SkyICS thread.

Hi
My problem with Bluetooth is pairing to the car auduo. The phone can see the device, recognizes the type and tries to pair, but after putting a code I get a connection refused error. Previously worked with stock and custom 2.x.x rooms. From is now a 4.0.4 one.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Solved by replacing Bluetooth.apk to 4.0.1 found at androidforums

Hi guys,
I have found in other forum, and it's working for me.
Break connection between car and S3, and delete devices both in car and phone.
Now try to pair them again but don't let car system to access contact and data in phone.
After I did this my connection is stable.
Guy who suggested this believes that Samsung sends too much data ( all accounts data)and car system freezes).
Hope this works for you too

Ok I just got the watch and had major issues with the first one so I exchanged it.. This one works alot better but it appears it can't keep a connection, it says it connected but some apps stop being able to communicate. Like the phone finder app will show that's it's loading then it just does nothing...

Hrmm... I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help here except to mention that I am running the SW2 with a Nexus 5 as well and I frequently connect a bluetooth headset at the same time and I haven't run into any bluetooth connection issues so far. I've had the watch for 2-3 months now, I do remember having to update the firmware once when I first got it... perhaps reset the watch and check to see if you have the latest firmware?
I have problems like this too. This watch seems to have interference issues. My bluebuds X constantly disconnect when I'm on a call with my SW2 connected. Worst part is they never make a sound, I just stop hearing my caller, and I eventually check the phone and see they've been dropped to the headset and I've been talking to myself.
Music also disconnects the headphones occasionally, but it's not frequently enough for it to be a big problem. Calls on the other hand disconnect like every 30 seconds.
Update: I no longer blame my SW2 for this issue. They headphones disconnect when the watch is not connected. The phone disconnects from other A2DP devices. I'm blaming my phone now.

Are you running stock ROM and kernel or custom? I am running SlimRom and stock kernel and have no issues keeping the watch connection with a LG Tone+ headset.

Sometime all is ok, sometime no :crying:
For me, disable and enable BT is the workaround.

With the Android 4.4 update problem has gone.
Same for me, my watch disconnect ... from my Nexus 5
But the last Android version (of course, it's the Nexus) doesn't solve anything.
I hope a lot has been done with the following SW2 firmware to solve this issue.

I have the same issue, BT-connection suddenly drops out, mostly after some notifications happen within a short period of time, after which only a reboot of the watch gets it going again. So to me it looks very much like a watch-problem, not like a phone related.
I have same problem.
On phone it looks like connected but on watch is not. When tried to turn off bluetooth my phone reboots itself.
Start to happen after last update, my first tough was sth wrong with my rom. Reinstalled my rom, still same. Finally returned to stock and problem persist.
As it happen after last update it looks is related. Yesterday I got smartwach update but not resolved.

Hi guys, I'm enjoying my note edge so far. However, the bluetooth issue bugs me. When i streamed music via Bluetooth on my car, it lags sometime, the music would either stutter or stop then play again. It did not happen when i
first got the phone and i already tried on another car,same issue happened. I also performed a factory reset and the problem didnt go away,samething happen with my gf's note 4 as well. So i just want to know if you guys know
how to fix it? or it just a problem with samsung phone in general.Thanks

FWIW, mine works without a hitch even when using the power saving setting regardless of source (game for kids, local music, network streaming, movies) or client (car, multiple wireless headsets, home sound system...etc.)
The only time I've experienced any issues was when I was tweaking clock frequencies or when trying to optimize for low power usage.
When you say you're getting the same response out of two separate devices, that seems to point more to the client than the source... but that's just a guess - perhaps you have a common app or setting on the devices?
Good luck
I dont know what wrong at this point, I'm considering calling tmobile for a replacement phone. I test my old Htc m8 on my car and it works just fine. And i only install basic app, banking app... Any one else has this problem?
