[HTC Inspire 4G] homescrub:
Motorolla Atrix is a decent phone. And I say decent because even with all that processing power, it uses Motorolla Blur as the android UI. Most people have had issues with using it, and can contest that the phone build feels cheap.

The Inspire 4G is a well built phone. It does everything you need it to do, comes with Android 2.2 Froyo, 8 MP camera and a pretty fast processor. Not as fast as the Atrix, but whos counting? Aside from that, HTC Sense UI makes the phone a lot more flexible in how you want to customize it. Though, battery life is subpar. Depending on your usage, a full charge can last about 5-6 hours until it needs a recharge. But other than that, its a solid phone.

You can root either device, but for the moment, its a hassle rooting it. There are no One-Click applications to root the phone to get the Gold Key, which is giving you Admin Access to the phone and its properties. Again, rooting required with many YouTube videos on how to do it.

All in all, I went with the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Inspire is not the same hardware as the captivate. not really even close.

even though the atrix has the dual core, inspire is faster at EVERYTHING. with a little overclock, its even faster. you'll probably never get a custom kernel on the atrix, so its never really gonna get faster, unless moto updates it. the only thing on the atrix that beats the inspire is the gpu, and I wasn't that impressed with that on the atrix either.

Edit- and I get more screen on time on the inspire than the captivate. 4+ hours of straight screen on time on the inspire, vs around 3 on the captivate. I've lasted 24 hours on a charge on the inspire with almost 4.5 hours of screen on time before it got below 5%, which is PLENTY for me

Hold the horses...

I'm sorry if this will sound ignorant.... 999 and 1079...

All right are we talking about 1 grand and 1 grand and 79 bucks?

:confused: I'm confused... Why such prices?
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Other counties take advantage of the limited availability of devices, you will never get a decent deal there so they have to pony up the big bucks.

We are so fortunate to live in the States.

[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Too many people have left the Atrix and came to be happy as ever Inspire owners.

We can use Desire HD Roms on our Inspires so the development, time and work has been put in.

I wouldn't sell or trade my phone for anything in the upcoming or current phone market, bottom line.

You just need a gold card, the hack kit, clock work mod and a fast and stable Rom.

Can't get easier than that.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Roland_D:
Damn... Yes we are... I'm still in shock for those prices... I mean I paid my Inspire 399 cause I wanted no commitment but if you think at costco you get it for 19 bucks :eek: ...

Anyways to answer the OP question: Inspire for sure... It may cost you 80 bucks more but once you are spending that amount of money you don't wanna go cheap and get a Motorola POS :D uahahah

In a boot loop - Moved from Andromeda thread

Hi Adam, Just to get up everyone where we are. :) I had a flashing issue with Andromeda which resulted in the phone continuously rebooting; i.e. white screen Ursa Minor screen disembodied voice which I now think says missing operation, it definitely doesn't say backup operation, I've listened to it soooooooo many times. . .anyway :confused: I put the phone in download mode as you said - BTW this phone with phone off vol+vol then plug in USB and download appears. Holding the power button takes you -when the phone isn't loopiing of course- into recovery mode. I had already restarted the computer, - not a VM - restarted Odin 3 and tried to reflash. Pass! Reset and unfortunately I'm still in that loop can't get to recovery mode.

I removed the battery and USB. Held down all three buttons and with the USB cable connected put the battery back. I held through 2 screen goes black circuits. Second time up the screen shows a gray battery then goes black then I get the ATT screen followed by Ursa Minor and my now less than favorite voice.:( Doing the same without the USB cable I don;t get the battery but I do get the ATT splash screen between the two black screen and then that darling voice again. So that's where I am. Ideas please :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephenv1971:
Personally I would One-Click back to Stock. ROOT. Install CWM using Rom Manager. And then install Andromeda via CWM. (I usually skip re-rooting and just install from CWM via the update.zip from ROM Manager) See if that doesn't work... If it does, finish up by installing Ursa Minor #2 (or is it just Ursa Minor now?)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Great Work Adam! This is surely gonna help alot of new users!

On a other note, I'm concidaring to try A3 and was wondering if it's not exactly what I'm looking, can I flash over it (as it is really stock based) or am I better using Odin 1.7 again and flash another ROM?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireboss:
Okay so I was writing this reply saying "I tried that first thing and have tried it several times in various ways since. It hangs, never got a progress bar" I had just tried it again (20 minutes of nothing):mad: and was going to post the log out of Odin but I had closed it out so I thought what the heck I'll run it again. Danged if it didn't work this time. :D

I know this sounds odd but I think the difference was that I had Odin One Click running when I put the device into download mode instead of starting it after. As I said the only way into download mode I've found with this phone is powered off hold vol+vol then plug in USB. This time Odin was waiting, found the port and when I clicked start it worked. Heaven only knows if that is a quirk or coincidence.

Now off to see if I can flash this rom. :cool:

Thanks:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
^^ It can be tricky to get it into download mode, but there are several ways to do it on all phone. The important thing is that you get a sane COM port like COM8 or less on Odin3 1.7, and that you have download mode activated on the phone. Good to see that everything is working properly.

Get ursa minor on there and you can do anything!

The ursa minor kernel with ClockWork Mod flashed through Odin3 1.7 will support all ROMs designed for our phone. Some ROMs are not designed for our phone (Cyanogen Mod, MIUI) and have work-arounds supported by the developers. I skipped the portion of downloading a ROM because you can pick a ROM yourself, this video just gives you the tools to do so. You are more then welcome to use the "UrsaMinor.tar" file as a ClockWork Mod springboard to other ROMs or kernels, I just picked my own team's ROM for the video.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireboss:
OK well I've confirmed that Odin One Click won't restore on this phone unless it is open on the Windows machine when I connect the USB port tot throw the phone into download.

I restored then went through the flashing process again. This time when when it rebooted it didn't loop but it wouldn't go into recovery. I used droid explorer to flip it to recovery mode. Inoted then that there was no adndromeda.zip package on the sd card. I assumed Ursa was supposed to pull that over because in the video it says to find it and install. In any case I drug it from the computer to Droid Explorer and then was able to find it and install the Rom. The unpack looked normal enough the system rebooted. I unplugged USB,gave it the three button fix roputine, and was back in the loop. No matter what I did it looped. The loop was slower this time and the voice clearly said Restore Operation. Not knowing enough to wander farther and unable to get into recovery now because Droid Explorer couldn't see the phone anymore I let Odin restore it. That's where I am now.

Suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Thanks! I'll try that out once I get home from work. The only thing I can say is that I wish that would've been up when I got my 1st cappy - would've saved me the trouble of having to Odin3 1 click :rolleyes:

Once again, Great work!!

EDIT: This should be Stickied!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
fireboss: redownload all links above, it is possible that something went wrong with the download process and a bit is missing somewhere.

-copy the rom of your choice to your SDCard (Team Komin recommends Andromeda3, but any will work)

-put the phone into download mode and flash ursa minor tar file using Odin3 1.7

-let it run though it's operation until it boots normally.

-remove the usb cord, press and hold 3 buttons to reboot into recovery

-select zip from SDCard- Andromeda3.zip
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
i dont see a link, or file attachment or any mention of 3e recovery in OP
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Might already be in Ursa Minor? (correct me if I'm wrong Adam)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxracer101:
You should always start odin BEFORE plugging the USB cable into your phone. I have never had an issue with odin on any of the phones I've flashed if I had it running before going into download mode. I also always restart odin between the initial flash and master clear if I'm going that far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Right Bwolf

No need to mess with 3e recovery. UrsaMinor.tar overwrites 3e recovery and gives you CWM so you can begin flashing immediately.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
That works. The biggest thing is that you are in download mode and you have a sane COM port like COM5 or 6, not COM14. As shown in the video, COM14 lead to Phone--!--PC..

I may do this video again with heimdall. it worked well.

mxracer101, any chance you can generate a pit file? I'd like to make Andromeda3 into a full heimdall flash where you simply put the phone into download mode, select the files, hit start, and let the stock phone boot into Andromeda3.

i personally have a tpu Flexiskin (or something like that) on my TMOUS HD2, it is incredibly good looking, it fits the phone like a glove and it feels thinner with the case on than it does with the OEM case. It also does not stick in pockets, and offers some good protection, GET ONE
[HD2 Accessories] T-Macgnolia:
I currently use a Body Glove case myself, I attached two pics below. I just hate thee kickstand has put two scratch marks on my battery cover where the kickstand rubs the back of the phone. But the case has really helped protect my HD2.

I was wondering if the cases in post #4 were for the T-Mobile HD2 myself but I guess not, bummer I liked that one dude had. :( Check out the Body Glove pics I attached though see what you think.

Could you maybe post some pics or a link to this cover I would like to have a look at it. :)
[HD2 Accessories] Boradan:
For a plastic case, I REALLY like this one::

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CASE-MATE-BLACK-BARELY-THERE-CASE-HTC-HD2-LEO-/130425023698

slips easily in and our of your pocket and is barely noticable if the phone is sitting on the table.

For work, I used this one for a european HD2 ::

Only problem was that, since I use android and regularly need to slide down the notification bar, I COULDNT use this as the aluminium frame comes to the edge of the screen and I couldnt touch the notification bar.

Solution:::

Its actually the PDAIR aluminium case for the T-Mobile HD2. Whilst the Tmous phone is slightly bigger, it doesnt matter with this case as the fit is SOOOO tight. Nice neoprene lining on the case to act as a shock absorber and the belt clip is brilliant for it. REALLY secure, but really easy to get the phone out.

[HD2 Accessories] fpar:
I got a few of these, they are hard plastic with a rubberised coating on the outside. Its fine if you don't often plan on removing the case but doing so repeatedly will damage your hd2, the case causes major scratching to the corners of the phone. Not recommended if you need frequent access to the battery door.
[HD2 Accessories] bazinga:
I also have one of those, but in green. The material is a hard plastic with a soft rubbery coating on it. It sort of feels like the top and bottom rubber type texture on the back of a naked HD2.

[HD2 Accessories] digiholic:
So I did end up ordering one expecting to probably not use it. I was surprised to find out I like it a lot. I hate the bulk any case adds so I never use one but the back of the phone always had that feel that it would want to slip out of my hand. With this sticker on it I no longer feel like that. It adds just enough grip feel to be more comfortable in the hand but not so much it won't slide in and out of pockets or holsters.

Putting the sticker sections on and off a few times (trying to get it straight) showed me it doesn't seem to leave any permanent marking to the phone. FYI it doesn't cover the sides. If you wanted a 100% pink phone for example, it won't do that.

Looks pretty badass on the phone. I work with 35 to 55 year olds and they all think it looks sweet.

How does that sticker work in the front, does it actually outline the screen with the color, is the part on the display clear or does it even cover the screen?
[HD2 Accessories] digiholic:
It covers the edges only on the front. A screen protector would need to be the exact size of the glass to have both on. I only use the one for the back. Adds a little grip and looks pretty cool.
