Re unlocked Motorola Atrix (MB860) use in to THE

ATT unlocked my Motorola Atrix 2 (MB860). I am in Australia and bought a Vodafone SIM card. The voice works fine, but there is no data connection (which is included in the plan I bought). Called technical Vodafone and they sent me a "Profile Configuration" file via SMS to install to run the Internet connectivity. I am hesitant to install it. But they promised that this will not negatively affect my phone (but yet they cannot explain what it does).

Can someone explain what this Config profile could do to my phone, and why it is necessary? And why I can't do it myself via the phone settings? My background is engineering network, I'm also curious. Pointers to explanations already on the Web would be fine.

It is my first foray into data usage in other countries. Thank you

Dave

There are pay services (and some carriers) for this same function. Basically, it is supposed to set your APN settings so that you have the data connection. Just add an additional parameter that you can disable or remove if you wish!

You may need to go to a level more high support to get the actual content - my guess is that phone representatives will only send the config files.

It's very nice of them that several carriers just throw up their hands and make you find the settings on the line.

  • Motorola Atrix HD MTP driver fails to install

    Update my phone Motorola Atrix HD, tried to install the latest drivers from Motorola via their package install MotorolaDeviceManager_2.3.9.exe.

    Software appears to install correctly, but when I connect the phone, it shows the installation of drivers in the sandbox, but will appear then the MTP driver fails.  I have tried to uninstall the driver from Device Manager, where it shows device MTP with yellow triangle, restart, then install the drivers and then connect the phone again, same results, have tried several times.

    The driver in the device, shows the error 52 code Manager, which means it does not recognize the digital signature of the driver, but I know that it is a valid driver of Motorola, so what gives?

    Operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I read many forums and nothing seems to have this problem of fixing.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Chris,

    A yellow exclamation mark next to a device in Device Manager means that Windows has identified a problem any with this device.

    The yellow question mark is displayed as the full size of the device icon and appears when a device is detected but not installed.

    Try the following methods and check.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run the Microsoft Fixit and check if it helps.

    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists, I you suggest to uninstall the drivers and software and then try to reinstall the same and check if it helps.

  • Setup Motorola Atrix with Google TV via a HDMI device problem, help?

    I'm curious to know if anyone has had problems with implementation of devices via HDMI or using the Motorola Atrix (I'll be crossed this announcement on the forums Android and Motorola too to see what response I'll be there too).

    "After connecting my Atrix, turned to the Google TV (29') using the HDMI cable I got with the phone, I go to 'Settings' > 'Video input' > HDMI settings" > "Device list" > and click on "Enable", I get an error message that says:

    No HDMI devices have been found. Please check the connections.

    Thanks to a default function I chose, the "remote control" screen on my Atrix.

    I tried all four cards HDMI on the TV and received the same error message.

    Anyone would be able to help me solve this?

    I have the Sony NSX24GT1 24 and my phone is a Motorola Atrix Mobile phone black MB860 running on the Android 2.3.4 version.

    p.s. I really like my phone and I really like my TV and the possibility of using the two together! I really hope I can get help with this. Thank you!!

    Fixed! I had to press the input button on the very complicated, heavy Google TV remote control button (bad design).

  • If I buy a T-Mobile unlocked iphone7, can I use the sim card by carrier other than T-mobile on the iphone7? Because I travel abroad from time to time, I wonder if the unlocked Tmobile iphone7 accept any sim card when I am abroad

    If I buy a T-Mobile unlocked iphone7, can I use the sim card by carrier other than T-mobile on the iphone7? Because I travel abroad from time to time, I need to use another sim card when I'm outside of US. So if I order a T-mobile unlocked iphone7, he will accept my sim card from a foreign carrier? In addition, he will accept my 2nd sim card which is Sprint (my sprint sim card is not related to a device)?

    An unlocked iPhone for use with any compatible GSM carrier.

    Sprint is NOT a GSM carrier. They are a CDMA carrier.

  • I recently got an iphone unlocked 5. It used to be locked to T-Mobile. Can I use this unit with any service of cells now or only to others who use SIM cards?

    I recently got my old 5 s T-Mobile unlocked iPhone. Given that T-Mobile is a basic service of SIM, I wanted to see if now it is unlocked, if I can use the device with no - SIM services (i.e. Verizon) and SIM (T-Mobile, AT & T) services?

    Verizon only lights up iPhone 6 / 6 + and 6s / 6 s + tmobile.

    Verizon phones (except for some other 3 G phones they sell) require a SIM card. Any 4 G LTE phone requires a SIM card.

  • Motorola Atrix 4 G camera won't initialize

    The stock for my Motorola atrix 4g camera does not work. When I pull the top of the camera or camcorder. The screen is black. As if there is something blocking the lens. Camera overlays are present. The shutter button and zoom in and out keys. After a while, I get an error message "Failed to initialize the camera" then I have to force close. There is nothing of blocking the lens. I thought it was a software problem. I've tried everything. Date of factory reset twice. I tried different camera software, removed the battery, power cycles. Nothing works. Everything else works fine. I scoured the internet for a solution. There is no solution, only the complaints from other users of android with the same question. I think it's a hardware problem. I have one question. Do you know if the replacement of the camera on the device will solve the issue? Thank you.

    If it helps the phone got really hot at a time where the screen started turning black on the upper right when the camera is located on the other side. That may have something to do with it.

    But I want to know if the camera replacement will solve the problem for me. Thank you.

    I SOLVED THE PROBLEM

    It's a mechanical problem. I replaced the flex Ribbon that holds the camera, the volume buttons and front detectors. When I removed the Ribbon flex, I noticed a burn mark on the underside of the flex Ribbon. Thus, the reason that the unit stopped working because the phone has overheated twice and stop. That had something to do with damage to the Ribbon of flex.

    So, after replacement of the flex Ribbon. The camera is fully functional. If you encounter this problem, the only way to fix it is to have the flex replaced Ribbon.

    If you want more information, please let me know. I want to help.
