Issues after AT&T 4.1.1 - Motorola Atrix HD

Hello,
Im using an Atrix HD with 4.1.1
After update i noticed this issues.
First of all,
After rebooting the phone all the widgets are gone!! And i need to configure them to main screen. And after other reboot the widgets are gone again.
I use Swiftkey as my main keyboard and i set it up and then noticed that after rebooting the Atrix HD. The configuration is also gone!!! And i have to "activate" the keyboard in order to use it again.
Also... My signal is too low most of the time. 1 bar 2 bars.. i never seen full bars. I been around the city and no good signal at all. Also some times i want to place a phone call and i see a red triangle where the bars suppose to be.
Can someone please HELP!!!
Thanks!
:crying:

You know, in case someone else has the same issues.

If a new ROM would fix it, why can't he just do a factory reset?

Its just a bug. Mine does the same thing.

What about the signal?
He needs to switch the radio (or i'm wrong?), and we don't have any way to do that

The keyboard disappearing act is solved by uninstalling and then reinstalling said keyboard with TiBu.
Launcher widgets I dunno I use nova prime.

I found on various other posts that losing widgets after reboot is a bug in JB 4.1.1 that has to do with Play Store. And it only affects paid apps, not free ones. This affects all phones on 4.1.1, not just the Atrix HD.
Fixes are to wait for a 4.1.2 or 4.2 update, or install a free version of the app/widget. I tried this with the Business Calendar app and it worked.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

well i tried the free app solution and is working.. its not the solution. but is something.
But my biggest concern is the poor signal.
I have my dads iPhone 5, my mom's One X and them are full signal and i only get 3-4 bars.
The issue is that the signal is always jumping 3 bars, 4 bars, no bars, red triangle.... 15 seconds.. and jumps to 4 bars, then 3 bars, then 2 bars, then triangle... no data no calls.... 30 seconds, and all time is like that... i took it apart, and all connectors with the antennas on the back parts like fine. i even place a small piece of tape below the connector and the golden connectors to increase the pressure on them.
What can i do?

Texting

Alright, I am throwing this here.
For some reason when I send a text, it takes 5-10 minutes for it to go out. I thought, well, maybe its the program, just not saying it sent it. But indeed, last night, I sent several texts to my wife, her phone next to mine. The first message I sent was received 5 minutes later. The second one, which I sent within a minute of the first, took 10 minutes. The third, again with in a matter of seconds, took 15 minutes. WTF, right? So I did some homework, and looked into this. I tried Handcent, no go. It must be with in the system itself and nothing related to the program.
Now on the reverse, it takes 15 seconds to receive a message.
I came on the web and did more homework, talk about account sync bogging down the phone, so I cleared that issue. Nope, still got lag. Reboot. Nope. Soft reboot, again, nope. Still lags. Problem with the ROM? Nope, I have seen this issue reported on a stock phone, here in the forums.
My option, as I see it, a factory reset. Please tell me I am wrong. On the plus side, I do a reset, and I take on Verizon's stupid update, and then push Clock and decrap.
Do it in clockwork not from inside android privacy menu. I definitely think its ur phone as I don't think anyone else has this issue. (At least I don't)

I occasionally get something similiar. I'll send a text and it stays stuck on sending. Rebooting doesnt help. The only thing that ive found to somewhat fix it is to put the phone in airplane mode.

Indeedy do. Now what would that system have to do with airplane mode? Hmm, my connection is more active on the awakening from the airplane mode. If I send a message, I get it stuck in sending. 5 minutes usually. But it will say I sent it 5 minutes earlier. I froze the stock messenger, lol, 10 minutes.
But when I initially send, I can watch my connectivity to 4g kick, for a second, and then nothing. Surprisingly, even 5 minutes later, it won't budge. But when I kick it out of the airplane mode, it goes nuts communicating with the tower, and completing my last messenging task. There needs to be something that I did when I snagged the rooting, and rom downloads. This didn't happen to me before, and it has happened to no one, currently. So I could go back to stock see what happens, run wifi, and download the root, and rom again and see what happens after that.
Yeah exactly right. Flash stock unroot.

Oh well, I broke it pretty bad, so I downloaded everything to fix it. I went to IRC and waited for someone with a bigger brain than mine to come along. Much to my dismay it was Regn. But mt was not toI far behind. They got me going in the right direction, and Cube came on and sealed the deal. So far everything is working good. I do have one issue with handcent doubling my messages.I cleared out the default, so that doesn't pop up, but handcent is giving me doubles. Thanks again. And I did wreck my phone on purpose, I saw enough threads to know where I was going, just not enough head knowledge to get me all the way there. God bless you guys, even Reg !!lol.

Did you wait for your device to do it automatically, or did you sideload an apk?
I'm asking because I still don't have the new Play Store.

It does take a lot longer to charge but I figured the battery(s) are larger. The biggest bug I've experienced (at the wrong time of course) is the loss of Network (calls) when shutting off WiFi. I have to reboot the phone.
Love it otherwise. I use it as my daily and can't wait for the next build in a week or so.
Not getting the network problem here. Might try to redownload and reflash.
The latest few nightlies have not been real stable. I keep going back to my backup of this M3, it does everything well here, fast and stable.

Been having the same problem with file transfers locking up the phone and the screen jumping back and forth on websites and Kindle.
I've re-flashed clean and that helped the network issue dropping after turning off WiFi.
Let's see how the new RC1 build does...
YMMV, but here M3 is a lot more stable than RC1. There is a thread in the general forum on RC1.
I tested file transfers after your post on another thread. Stopped after 2 GB so its working OK here. Might test with different cables, computers.
Actually bad advice. I should have suggested that when the freeze happens you need to file a bug report here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org

Help!!! My phone was hacked!

OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm
Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.
With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

Slow GPS positioning.

I don't know if it's just my handset that has this issue. If it's an issue at all.
My GPS takes forever to find my actual location. Leaving central London yesterday on the M4 the GPS around 25 minutes to find where I was. It isn't really acceptable to be quite honest.
Is there an issue or is it a handset fault solely affecting me?

Have you tried reflashing a stock rom. And see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, you probably have some tweak or module doing stuff to the gps.
If the problems still there it could be your carrier or a faulty device.
Flashed back already. Several times. I haven't got any tweaks or changes going on, the only reason I rooted was to rid myself of the bloat.
This is really annoying me, if I have got another crop handset off Sony I will definitely be going back to HTC phones.

this is just a wild guess, but worth a shot.
try redownloading the stock rom, check md5 and be sure to make a clean install.
try download "FasterGPS" from playstore, to get the time from a ntp server near you, to avoid wrong time for the fix due to delay on a long travel from the ntp package

Crap. I was hoping for better news. HTC promised a fix and apparently delivered a half baked version of a fix. Less tint isn't a fix. Thanks for sharing though.
Mine runs better but then again i am still locked. Judging by the OP going back to 4.1 i bet he flashed it on his own, which probably accounts for a large amount of the issue.
Mine is noticeably faster. The xda app has been god awful since the last update, so that is not due to 4.3.

Don't use the XDA app, but everything seems good for me. Completely stock, not rooted. Longest I've ever kept a phone this way, and if I can find a way to tether without root, I don't know that I'll feel the need to for a long while.
i didn't flash the update i went back to stock and then updated to 4.3 ... im s-off so i just went back to 4.1.2

I'm having an annoying issue. I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time but like to turn off the vibrate function in apps like Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, etc so I don't get a vibration when someone tweets me, emails me, etc. Since the update, it still vibrates when the box isn't checked.
