[Q] Atrix 2 Wifi doesn't turn on. Any Solutions? - Motorola Atrix 2

Hi!
I bought my Atrix 2 (MB856) off of Amazon about 2-3 months ago.
When I rooted it, wifi refused to turn on. I contacted Motorola who told me to factory reset/wipe data/etc which didn't work. I flashed it using RSD Lite to every ROM from the Droid Developers SBFsite, but it still doesn't work. I carried it to check if it was a hardware problem but it wasn't. I checked for solutions online but I haven't seen any recent solutions (all were dated to 2012).
Has anyone come across a solution to this problem? Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pyro.

[Q] Anyone else getting Software update unavailable?...

So I flashed back to stock with odin a couple hours ago (F2) and wanted to update to G7 but I have been getting a "update service unavailable". Anyone else having this issue or had this issue in the past? I searched and it seems some people who get this pretty much cant update for months and end up getting their phones switched out.

I've been getting this message since the 29th... I don't have anything specific I want to flash, but, any idea why we can't check for updates?
A lot of speculation, but it seems like a new sim from Verizon fixes it for 95% of people.
There are 3 possible ways to fix that issue, 1 - Try clearing the Google Framework Services 2 - Factory reset 3 - New SIM card. I tried the first two with no luck, then I got a new SIM card and that still did not work at first(after I got the new SIM card I ended up doing the first 2 step again and that's when it worked). Now i get the "No Update Available" lol. Hope this helps.
I had same issue couple days ago. I reset phone 3 times cleared google framework nothing works.
I wouldnt waste your time and just go get a new sim card i did and in 2 mins it was downloading update

I had that issue.
New sim didn't work... had to get a new phone. Luckily I was within my 14 day return/exchange.
Verizon store didn't want to, but they gave me a brand new phone.

Wifi error and ICS question

Hello,
I have never rooted my Atrix 2 and it is pretty much stock. I have researched the interwebs for the past two months from time to time to see if anyone else (and there are a lot) who have "Wifi error" when trying to turn on their wifi. It is not a router issue because I have tried at my own home, friends, relatives, McDonalds, the library, etc but Wifi error persists. Reset the phone three times, taken battery out, and leaving it off for a few hours have also been tried. I was wondering if anyone knows how to solve this issue? I have researched on this forum but I couldn't find a relavant one.
I was hoping that upgrading to ICS will fix the issue but I cant even upgrade to ICS because the update has been fixed to be downloaded via wifi only. I know it is OTA but was wondering if anyone has packaged/is it packageable to be downloaded off the internet?

[Q] Wifi XOOM 4.1.2 Wifi stuck in "Turning On..." state

Hi all,
I'm having a problem in turning WiFi on the Motorola Xoom with 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. The device stays stuck at the Turning on State and doesn't connect, I've let it sit for 7 hrs in the same state. I have done many things in through out these forums and have had no luck. I have done the fastboot -w and also done manual factory data resets, I also have rooted my device, by using a modified system image and a boot image over the 4.1.2 upgrade. I got this tablet in a trade with the knowledge that the WiFi worked at some point between GB and ICS. I am a software tester at Motorola and I have had much experience with mobile devices for almost a year now. I have ran radio and system logs on the loaded production builds and have found no discrepancies between my Xoom and other fully functional Xooms. I've even thought it was possibly a bad RF connection and opened the back of the Xoom and found that there is no issues there. I thought maybe buying a micro PCI network adapter would do the trick but nothing. I have successfully tethered using Bluetooth from my rooted droid 4, but this doesn't seems to fly with games by Gameloft. When booting Wild Blood for instance, after the initial licence check, the game requires to download the rest of the data through WiFi, and thus my problem begins. I even put the qawifionlymode.txt on the root of the internal SD card storage area (with appropriate capitalization and such) and nothing. Any help would be much appreciated.
Best Regards,

Found out the problem
Hi all again, I'm updating this thread for anyone who passes by and wants the help I needed. Being that I work at Motorola I found the project manager for the Xoom tablets and had him take a look at it for me. He said that the problem wasn't with the WiFi, but the subsystem that controls the WiFi, he said that it was defective in this unit and that it was out of his hands to repair, when since this is the case I am out of luck But that's my case, if you have warranties, use them in this situation. You should be able to get either a refund or a replacement. I'm gonna go get my hands on another one now
Good luck everyone,

I was able to repair this state by wiping cache and formatting to factory settings.
I am using
Jellybean 4.1.2 XXLS8 ROM SGS2 GT-I9100
The wifi got stuch when i switched to data network mode and wifi got disabled automatically. Now it is working fine. might come in handy for anyone with same issue.

[Q] Moto G Airplane problems on KitKat

Hi, After a recent update to KitKat on my Motorola G (Tesco Mobile) the phone randomly goes into airplane mode has anyone else had this problem? I had guessed that it maybe a problem with an app that may need updating for KitKat support but before I weed out all the apps I thought I would ask here in the hopes someone has had the same problem and has resolved it somehow.
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully recieved.
Thankyou.

Wow, that's strange
Try rebooting the phone turn it off and on
See if that works
2) See your app list, and LOOK at the less unkown apps and remove them first and see
Best of luck

I should have mentioned its running a stock rom, anyway yes I have tried a factory reset as well as a reboot with the same issues, it could be an app but doing a reset should have sorted that out, I seem to remember though that apps reinstalled after reset etc, I will check though and publish any findings thanks Krisshp, in the meantime if anyone else has come across this issue I'd appreciate your thoughts - Thankyou. :fingers-crossed:

Apps aren't able to control Airplane mode directly since Android 4.2.x, so it must be something else.
Probably the SIM is not correctly set.
Take it out and put it back.

Interestingly mine did the same thing a few days ago , but ( touch wood! ) only once!. Picking up the phone, I noticed that there was no network status. Trying to make a call said 'disable airplane mode'. Turning airplane mode on then off fixed it for me.
Is your phone still locked to Tesco ? mine's unlocked and on giffgaff.
moto g aeroplane mode headache
Moto g 8gb on giffgaff
Since turning on daydream and upgrading to KitKat mine has also done the same. Turned off daydream and rebooted phone so far so good about to go on 2 hour journey will let you know my findings. Fingers crossed. How ever I noticed just before upgrading to this phone that the same thing started to happen in my old c905.coincidence? We are all using the o2 network
I have the same airplane mode / loss of service notification on my 8gb moto g on Talkmobile which is on the voda-uk network.
same problem
I've still got the same problem. Will either turn on airplane mode automatically at random points or usually when I try to make a call. has anybody managed to find a solution?
Check that the SIM is well placed. My SIM is faulty factory and sometimes come off easily when I remove the cover.
It's definitely not the sim. I've only had problems since the update. Sim has been taken out, wiped and put back in.
I've done a factory reset using the software and the power off way. If there is a way to put jellybean back on, that might help. Its just a random glitch to have airplane mode turning itself on randomly.
has anyone found a solution to this?
my phone keeps putting itself into airplane mode since the KK update, it's ruining the experience of this phone for me
Well you have two options. 1- Warranty. 2- Root the phone and try whit a Custom Room's and try out until solve the problem(and lose the warranty). I preferred the first one
Just been looking for more info on this. There's some reports on of similar issues on the Nexus with 4.3 ( and maybe 4.4.2 )

im having the same issues on my retail moto g, it's got to be a bug in the kk update as it never happened on jb !
also my sister's tesco moto g is having the same problem
this worked for me
had the same problems when moved from 4.3 UK retail to DE retail.
the issue was fixed when i did a factory reset to my phone.
No problems since.
As i recall the flashall scripts i used to flash stock roms (both UK and DE) do not format /cache and /data partitions.
same problem here and seems to be getting worse,no problems while using wifi but when switching too data it goes into airplane mode,this can happen straight away or go for hours without doing it, really annoying
lots of complaints on the motorola forums and samsungs now so hopefully google are on the case..

my girls phone has this problem, I have the solution.
Just flash the 4.3 respective radio.img so for example go to the moto g radio and kernel page and expand the 4.3 content box and choose the radio for your region whatever that is you will notice only a few are different, then flash it in either twrp or cwm or in fastboot
fastboot flash radio (filename).img
I personally flashed twrp and the flashed the radio.zip whilst in the custom recovery
if anyone needs help with this PM me
MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT RADIO I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRICKS

Brand new Device, unable to connect WIFI

Hello.
I have come across an error on my brand new Mate 9, where the wifi simply wont turn on.
Firstly, Yesterday i received the phone and the WIFI was seemingly working ok. Which would suggest it may now have arrived faulty.
But last night, i completed the setup process. Installed my apps as you do. Updated all existing apps and updated to the most recent android version in the update section.
After a while i noticed i was on Mobile Data and not WiFI was odd as i sit 2 meters from my Router.
I attempted to connect to wifi but the option wont even turn on. I have contacted my provided who are willing to have it looked at but i will be without a phone for up to 2 weeks. So im trying to trouble shoot myself.
Below are 2 videos of me trying to turn WiFI on. First one is trying through settings. 2nd one is after a factory reset indicating it may not be a settings issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Update messed up?
Can you apply update again?
Could be the update. Device says its up to date.
Unsure if you can to roll back.
Hi guys, I have the same problem with my mate 9, also I have this problem from 3 months ago, and I not found any solution, it's exist that?
Anyway I have problems also with overheating, battery fast drain, touchscreen.... I really I feel like I pay for a **** my money... Cheers
I have a same trouble, when I got update via OTA on my L29C636. Updated to B181, wifi and bluetooth doesn't work.
I have try to flash the same firmware with dload method, and it can roll back with dload method (I've try to flash B156 firmware)
So I think that we can do is waiting for the next update (maybe on Oreo firmware)
I saw your video. The same happen to me. Please, If you find the way to solve the problem, sahre it!!!!! Good luck.
