so my contract will be up in May 4th.
after my horrid experience with the Backflip, im kind of on the iffy side about the atrix since its running motoblur.
the atrix seems like a good candidate. espcialy because of the lapdock. as im going to college and wanted a android tablet. but the atrix seems way better ATM and i can get it for around 450 at radio shack.
but first of all. i would want some general feed back from owners as you all.
pros and cons basically.
Atrix is a great phone to upgrade too. I myself came from a Backflip (CM6 installed). BLUR shouldn't be an issue since the phone is so powerful...but use LP or ADW etc as your launcher

backflip, was a good attempt at a design of a phone unique, but with that they equipped it just sucked. i moved on to a HTC HD2 which is what i have right now. but i want my 3G back and 4G as my area will be available for 4G.
thanks for the tip on the launchers.
This phone is very well built especially in an otterbox case. It just feels like a sturdy phone. The camera is really good. I just upgraded from an Xperia X10 with loads of tweaks. I thought that was running really fast, and this manages to run even faster at stock. You can literally click almost anything and it will open immediately. Cons: I really like motoblur actually, but I wish there were more settings for syncing.
i keep on viewing more videos on youtube regarding the phone. called att today in the morning. i want it. but they are slapping a 45 tethering fee to my plan, becuase of the lapdock. i dont want to go over 200 bucks a month as its what we are paying right now right around 170ish 80ish.
but i want it.
but hen again, it makes me think about the whole motoblur thing. on the backflip, it was laggy and useless. i ended up putting a deblured rom on it.
by any chance does anybody know if you need to have a tethering plan?
You can get past the need for the tethering plan, I don't know personally because in Canada there are no tethering charges (except for the iPhone) but there are threads on bypassing it in the Dev forum. As for your original question, take a good look at the screen in a store or somewhere before you buy it. For a screen that is 960x540 the PenTile effect completely ruins it for me, and the color saturation is terrible. If it doesn't bother you than that its a great phone.
ill look that up. as for the screen. PenTile? imma hit google up. lol. but ill take a good look and compare to my HD2. screen doesnt really bug me. unless its low quality. then yes we have an issue. but other than that. were fine. thanks for the tip.

I completely disagree. The screen looks very good, albet a little pixilated when displaying solid colors. My friend's droid x's screen looks washed out and low quality in comparison.
Pros
Most powerful phone. It is more powerful than most android phones coming out even the SGS2 can't touch it. Look at some benchmarking threads the Atrix gets in the 2900 with android 2.2 the SGS2 has 3000 but it is android 2.3 and does not push out as many pixels.
Great Battery life
1080p will be coming soon
4G coming soon
Very good build and very slim as well
Cons
Locked bootloader (Not a problem unless you like custom roms)
A bit laggy with a couple bugs (Could be fixed soon)
- AT&T

like i said screen isnt really a big issue. as long it looks okay and a bit on the HD side im good.
ive been reading review alot lately (dont wanna **** up liek i did with the backflip) i hear battery is a drag. that it dies quickly because of the dual core processor. the 4G has to come eventually as its has 4G slapped on to its name
AT&T is not really a big issue. ha i got service where i live. not one single dropped call.
now here are two noobish questions.
1) what exactly is a locked bootloader? and is it good or bad?
2) can someone explain the whole dual core thing? i have heard and read two different things. i read that it is a 1 GHz processor thats it. i have heard from video reviews that its a processor with 2 1Ghz chips, that making it 2 Ghz. jsut wondering.
How are you getting it for 450 from radio shack? If you don't mind me asking.
I returned mine for the zoom and will prolly grab it again for that price.

Oh with an upgrade? Damn that's a pretty good prove. I paid for it in full, 650 is crazy for a phone...

yeah. 600 for the phone is whack! i got a HD2 currently got it off cragislist for 150 guy needed the money.
best buy has the phone for 99.99 and the dock for 399.99. a total of about 500+
radio shack seems the best option. around 480 not bad 20 bucks is 20 bucks i can buy a case or something.
You guys are lucky you don't live in Australia, to buy any decent phone will set you back 800ish, Atrix 4G online in an Australian store (MobiCity.com.au) will set you back $1000 its stupid.
As for the question, I like my Atrix, its heaps better than my HTC 7 Trophy and faster than my iPhone 4 in some cases. The locked bootloader basically stops you flashing custom ROMs onto the phone entirely, only fake ROMs that are essentially very well built themes. Considering this is my first android though, I have yet to care about custom ROMs. The screen is good unless you're viewing solid colors which is when it goes pixelated and motoblur did annoy me as soon as I saw it, which is the reason I shoved GingerBlur on it as soon as I could.

1) In simplified terms, a Bootloader is low-level piece of software that loads the main OS (Android in this case). It's roughly equivalent of the PC BIOS.
Being locked means that its going to be very difficult to replace it.
You'd want to replace it in order to replace the Android OS with a newer version. The Manufactures and carriers are terribly slow to release new versions. The version of android on the atrix is version out of date (2.2) and almost a year old. It also means you can easily remove the extra 'value' crap motorola and the carriers like to add (like motoblur).
2) The chip runs at 1Ghz, but it's two cores on the chip which means it can 'theoretically' do twice as much per hertz. In practise, Android isn't that dual-core aware. It's likely Ice-Cream will bring more optimizations for dual-cores. Which we think is due late this year.
But Motorola would rather sell you a new phone than update it, hence why a locked bootloader is a pain. Consumers provide far better support than the manufactures or carriers
I see. I wonder if they will skip 2.3 and just go ahead to ice cream since ice cream is for dual core phones.

Hello everyone, I have faithfully used my eris since its release and now that I have had an upgrade available for use for quite a while, i've been getting antsy. I really would like to get an htc phone for the sense experience (i use footprints quite often), but also really like the screen on the droid charge and the dual core-y goodness of the dx2 (but hate that terrible motoblur and locked bootloader). I want to wait for the bionic, but really dont want a motorola phone.
I live near detroit, so I do have 4g support in my area, but how much of a speed difference does that make? I realize numbers-wise, 4g is a huge difference, but in actual real world performance, is it necessary? I feel that I barely use my eris now that I have my xoom (wifi only) and the only reason I think I would use a 4g phone would be to tether it to my xoom. The biggest issue i see is verizon starting to crack down on tethering and that in a few months I will be out tethering and a phone I am not particularly fond of.
Basically what it comes down to is that right now, I use my eris for texting, calls, quick browsing (for at the store or wherever, when i dont have my xoom with me), and basic apps such as weather and alarms. I would like to think that if I got a 4g phone, I still wouldnt use it to the best of its abilities just because i enjoy the tablet experience my xoom brings; leaving me with a phone that I use for the same things I use my eris for, but with worse battery life and such. I have always wanted to get the most cutting edge tech, but right now (and hopefully for the next 2 years ) I cant justify getting a 4g phone just for the 4g capabilities.
TLDR: Knowing I have 4g in my area and a xoom, which phone would you recommend?
PS: How's that droid commando?
If you have a Tegra tablet, which you admittedly use a lot more than your Eris, I don't think you really need a dual-core phone that badly, unless you'll be gaming a lot on your new phone. I suggest either the Droid Charge or the Thunderbolt, with my preference being the Charge. Verizon's 4G LTE is a lot faster than 3G, you want to have it if it's available to you, and both the Thunderbolt and Droid Charge will feel as fast as light compared to your Eris. I like the Charge because it has better battery life and a great looking SAMOLED+ display, but if you're a big Sense/HTC fan, you might prefer the Thunderbolt.
I like Moto phones, but no need to settle for a locked bootloader and a dual-core (and Blur until root comes to strip it out) when you'll be fine with a single core and freedom.

Why not the Droid Incredible 2? It's not 4G or dual core, but it seems to have everything that you want otherwise.
I was definitely looking at the incredible 2, do u have any experience with it?
The reason i wasn't too sure about the current 4g offerings were my distrust of most samsung products (had a glyde a while back and it was horrible) and haven't really had many experiences with LG products (other than my original env) I wish verizon would get an htc device with sense 3.0, as that is a huge deal for me. If what i have read is correct, both the thunderbolt and the incredible 2 have had sense 3.0 ported to them, but aren't the fastest (please correct me if i am wrong).
Sense 3.0 stock devices coming to verizon soon would be awesome, but i haven't heard any yet.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
No, I still own and use an Eris. However, based on your typical use, based on your doubts about needing 3G, based on your preference for HTC products with the Sense launcher, you may want to go into a store and play around with one.
Sorry i didn't reply for a bit, but i've decided to stick it out with my eris until the sgs2 or bionic (but i really want the sgs2) come out. I flashed back to a 2.1 rom and it has been (in my experience) a lot faster than the cm7 rom i was on, making me less irritated and less impatient for a new phone. Thanks for all the help tho everyone

The HTC Vigor has certainly peaked my interest lately since I really like HTC phones better over Motorola or Samsung.
Rumors are saying it will have a 4.3″ 720p HD screen (1280×720 resolution), with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, 8MP rear cam, 2MP front, Android 2.3.4 and will be similar in size and shape to the Thunderbolt, but without the kickstand.
I am an AT&T wireless user and I am trying to decide which android phone to go with. I am a former Verizon user and was quite fond of the Motorola line of Droids... I had the Droid 2, Droid X and finally the Droid Bionic. Price is not an issue for me at the moment and I am seeing a phone that has decent battery life, a wide variety of customizability and ease of use when it comes to rooting and installing roms. Basically I am looking for a phone that can handle my desire to tweak the most out of it and yet is nearly unbrickable and has a good pool of developers working with said devices. These are the phones I am considering, please share your opinions and advice in regards to these devices.
Motorola Atrix 2
Samsung Galaxy S II
HTC Vivid
Thank you for any and all input and I hope I have posted this in the right forum.
I wouldnt go for the HTC, it seems (just from browsing through forums), that they are quite hard to mod, with their locked NAND partitions and bootloaders that must be downgraded in order to flash new roms. (correct me if im wrong someone). I would go with the s2, i have a samsung and they are seriously easy to mod, plus the s2 should have a ton of devs working with it and lots of mods/roms, concidering its popularity everywhere.
Yes, we now have root. But...
1. We still don't have ROMs cooked as per the chefs/devs choice
2. We don't have (official) ICS yet,
3. The activity is less in the ROM section as compared to other phones, except for a couple of ICS ROMs tweaked here and there.
I don't know and I am asking, do we have a bootloader unlocked yet? If not, then it's point number 4.
I agree the phone is fairly new, but not like its getting younger by the day.
Quad-Core phones are already here, and companies slowly phasing out Dual-Cores. Now where do we go from here.
I am just trying to understand if I have made an investment or a mistake.
The question is, do we realy need an Quad-Core in our Phones or is just the industrie telling us, that we need a Quad in our Phones...

That's not the point. The point is, will we see good Devs/Chefs working on ROMs or not, porting various devices' UI?
I see some good Devs working for the RazR @ the Moment.
Just relax and see, what's coming with the official ICS...
Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 2
No one is phasing out dual core processors. Yes, there are some quad cores. Yes, there will be more. But you don't need 4 cores for a good phone experience unless you're a hardcore gamer. And frankly, if you're a hardcore gamer, why are you using a phone?
The Nokia Lumia 900 uses a single core processor and it runs WP7 silky smooth. Of course a dual core will perform better when you're multitasking, but 4 cores is a bit much.
There's plenty of life left in the Razr. I think, at this point, we're all waiting for the official ICS release slated for later this month. I expect a flurry of activity once it's out in the wild.
Fingers crossed and hopes high. I really wanted to flash ROMs from different devices and push the phone to its limits.
And I agree, lets just wait and watch.
Its like having a quadcore pc when the only thing you use it for is internet browsing
the main thing that makes me want to upgrade/change my mobile phones is the battery life not how many cpu cores that will drain the battery even faster
If anything the Razr maxx is the best phone on the market and will be for 2012 it will still beat the Samsung Galaxy S3 for battery life and iphone5 will just be another shiny **** that breaks when you drop it
Im planning on either trading my Razr in for razr maxx or upgrading the battery with the kits available
Iv had almost every high end mobile on the market and im happy with the Razr
I am selling my htc one x as ui is laggy, battery lasts just a day depending on how much the screen is used. Its quad core... you'd never know. The only thing ill miss is the screen.
I just bought my razr as the build and materials feels great, the ui is fast with no lag, the speaker is loud. Looking forward to the laptop dock with ics.
Dont get hung up on quad core... the razr is much faster for every day use.

Its all about the boot loader, until it is bypassed/unlocked any custom rom has to be built atop the stock kernel. My advice is to donate and encourage the devs already trying to bypass it and find other devs that have already done it on similar phones and offer donations or start a fund to equip the dev with a razr to work on, whatever's needed to further the cause. Once we can boot custom kernels, cm7/cm9, miui,whatever ...will all follow.

Now that makes sense. So zeroing down on the issue, it is the bootloader. But may I ask, my father has a Sony Ericsson X10 and the phone is very much rooted, BUT the bootloader isn't unlocked. But I was still able to flash a cool Xperia S ROM on it...so how come the bootloader allowed??

Why buy a RAZR if you just want some other devices UI on it?
Work on these phones is being done but just because it's not happening as fast as people want it to, doesn't mean it's not happening. ICS will come soon enough and devs are currently working on ROMs built from the ICS leaks.
DHacker from droidhive.com and hash are currently working on getting AOKP running fully on the .84 leak.
Stuff is happening, it's just that devs aren't posting every little thing they do.
Lol no one needs a quad-core processor. I've just moved from my old N900 to the XT910 and let me tell you, this is phone is just fast... Everything is smooth even gaming, browsing and listening to music all at the same time.

I dont know much about sony phones, it could be a bootloader bypass, or the kernels could be similar enough that its tweaked to boot up like hashcodes safestrap enables us to boot custom roms, but with the limitation of having to work around the stock kernel.

If you don't want to run one of the roms mentioned ( you'll find more on droidhive than xda). With root you can freeze the bloat ware and run a 3rd party launcher, ie adw, go launcher, launcher pro plus, etc.

Honestly I didn't buy my RAZR maxx to heavily mod. I spent 3 years w android and got burnt out. I bought my maxx because I felt that Motorola build quality and decent specs would quench my thirst. I did however try the .75 ics leak and was very impressed. I have root access on the stock .181 I am currently on and really don't use anything root.
All this being said, the RAZR is just like all the moto phones that came after the og DROID. It is and will forever be locked until Motorola frees it. No one has cracked them. No one is going to. People are supposedly getting close but all sorts of bugs. If moto unlocks then it will be smooth and work perfect. But it hasn't happened yet and with the possibility of the government contract w moto to supply phones for them...there is no way its getting free.
So, not to be rude, but you are fighting a losing battle. You are not a dev. You are a consumer like myself. If you want a flashaholic phone, grab a nexus. They have a working theme engine now w cm9 and its looking pretty fresh. I will stick w this RAZR because once It gets official ics I will not need root. Disabling apps freezes them. I can take screenshots. Have a phone that lasts all day and never reboots. Screws up. Acts crazy. Drops calls. Gets great data speeds and knocks **** out.
So become a dev and do the impossible that has been getting worked on for years...or get over it, enjoy a great phone, or sell that bish and get what fits your needs.

With a bootloader bypass, which has been done recently on other moto phones, and with moto being legally obliged to release a significant amount of there source code under the gpl license, its only a matter of time before we have as almost as much if not all the freedom of a Nexus

That would be great but I am not getting my hopes up. Its compliance. That's kinda like some of the old laws like having a mustache in certain parts of Texas can get you arrested.

Hey guys, I love the look of this phone, my favorite color scheme has always been red and black. But I don't want a good looking phone if its not going to perform like I want it to.
So my first concern is developer support. Since this is a very slight upgrade it is possible not many people in the development community will buy it unless it is compatible with the International One X roms? Will this be the case or not?
Second is to due with the Tegra 3. From my understanding the new S4 Pro destroys this processor. My current phone being a sensation which constantly lags I don't want to ever be subject to lag again. Is there really that much of a difference in the two processors?
Third is to due with the ram, 1gb compared to the 2gb in phones coming out now seems lackluster. What do you guys think of this, is it a huge limitation or is the 2gb of ram a fad?
Thanks guys

I would imagine there would be some modifications that would need to be made and then ported over. I say this because from what I have seen on the one x, the Jelly Bean base which is out there for the one x+ will not work properly.
I would say go for the one x+ as it is the perfected version of the one x. All of the mistakes have been rectified. I have always stuck with HTC, although I do hear good things about Samsung.
