[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
My rooted frozen atrix is beastly...

Sent from my Motorola Olympus
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
my atrix experience has been positive. There's been some hiccups (the random reboots, i had 3 since I bought mine on launch day. We'll see if the new update fixes that) the voice quality is fine -- I'm not on the phone much, and I'm a mumbler too so I'm used to the "WHAT DID YOU SAY?".

IMO, the pros outweigh the cons. This phone rules, and I'm coming from a heavily modded iphone 3GS that was perfectly set up the way i wanted it.

Hopefully the devs can crack this bootloader and then we'll start seeing some crazy stuff.
[Atrix 4G General] vjoom:
I dont have any issue with my atrix. boot up and shut down in few second.
[Atrix 4G General] tim.mahan:
I can relate to many of the cons...I had the Atrix for 28 days and switched to the Inspire. I am not going to say the Atrix is terrible, and for the record I didn't get freezes/reboots, but the overall experience just wasn't satisfying.

Jumping into the phone for the first time with blur, it was laughably choppy/laggy...and this was suppose to be the fastest phone out there. My N1 2.3 is a grandfather now and it had smoother transitions and overall smoother feel (although app load time and things like maps were much slower). Switched to launcher pro with some success...but even still there was noticeable lag throughout the system.

I think I would have stuck with the Atrix if the bootloader could be unlocked...the dev community can really make or break a phone. I am not a fan of blur or sense, but you have no choice with the Atrix (I am guessing with CM or stock or something more optimized, the Atrix would kill everything).

I agree with cons 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9

...also agree with pros 2, 3, 4

With updates, and hopeful bootloader unlock, the Atrix could be really great...but that is still a long way off while I am enjoying my Inspire right now.

Ps. battery issues on the Inspire are all but fixed with the latest cm7 rc3/4 so that is not really huge plus for the Atrix like it was over the past month.
[Atrix 4G General] bosnak:
I am going to go exchange it right now for another one. Wish me luck.

I didn't compare battery because it's her phone, I don't get to keep it all day :P
[Atrix 4G General] nagnrik:
Not even one u said right about it....
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
The phone is slow out of the box. Update to 4.1.57 and install launcher pro. Then get back to us.
[Atrix 4G General] bosnak:
Yeah I have been using goLauncher and other ones I tried, this all happened while I had it installed and modified - not on stock. Stock was running terrible as it was.

I have a newly exchanged model no - install GoLauncherex again and it is running fantastic for the time being. The battery isn't draining like it used to and it's a LOT smoother :)

Will update later.
[Atrix 4G General] kdspiv:
Until recently, I still threw my sim card in my xperia every once in a while just to play around again. Looks and build wise, it is one of my favorite phones ever. Not an "iPhone killer by any means but when set up properly and overclocked it did does a good job. Too bad by the time I got it set up correctly, it was an antique.

Im still too new with the Atrix to pass judgement.....but not for long.
[Atrix 4G General] twistedneck:
Working with Iphone 4 and Atrix on a daily basis i can tell you that most apps are equal between the two, web is a tiny tiny bit faster than ip4 but its the choppy web scrolling i notice on atrix that is smooth as glass on ip4.

i thought the tegra2 was supposed to be a graphics powerhouse? how can it be so choppy during scrolling vs ip4? i know the res is slightly higher but not that much.
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
The stock Android browser doesn't use gpu acceleration like safari does. Opera 11 does. You can grab it from the market.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Not only that.... but it also depends which sites you're visiting. The Atrix supports Flash, while the iPhone.... *ahem*.... yea.

All i can say is i came from an iPhone 4 to my Atrix, and i haven't missed the iPhone in the least. I've also had none of the OP's mentioned issues with the phone. I've had it lock up, but few and far between. No random reboot's, either. If i had to say one thing about the phone though, it's that sometimes the proximity sensor to turn the screen off when on a call seems to be too sensitive. I've sometimes had issues like the i4 had when it came out, where you could basically mute/end calls with your cheek if you moved the phone in just the right way.
[Atrix 4G General] plvaulter06:
I'm with you (original post). I've had an Original Droid, IP4, Samsung Fascinate, Galaxy Tab, Nexus S and now the Atrix.

It has been a huge disappointment to me. You can kinda tell that it has a lot of power somewhere, but because a lot of animations aren't smooth and things randomly run slow when they shouldn't, it has been very frustrating.

If I had low expectations, or was coming from a Motorola Razr, then the Atrix would have blown my socks off.
[Atrix 4G General] seh6183:
Your socks aren't blown off because you haven't read the Atrix dev forum or some of the advice given in this thread.

The Atrix is the fastest phone I've ever used.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
yea the only thing i complain its the delay when unlock the phone and when im in call i want to see the time take years wake up the screen.

after that its pretty fast i feel the browser its fast even in edge page loads pretty fast,i really like the atrix, and atm i dont feel like need overclock or unlock the bootloader (would be pretty nice and relase the kraken inside) perhaps i never had any issue.

battery its ok for me not as expected because all say its great, perhaps its just like 15% more than my nexus one i do like my atrix im not going back to nexus one or inspire.

well maybe evo 3d LOL
[Atrix 4G General] chinxos203:
you prob have multiple apps running, and running multiple blur widgets. ranting to us without knowing whats running on the phone and how its setup is useless. sorry to take it out on your thread nothing personal, but there are so many of these threads about how slow and crappy the phone is. i too can make my atrix run like **** if i tried or i can mange it and have it run circles.

download a launcher (ex. launcher pro) and remove any blur widgets since they are crap. check the market for widgets you will like and im sure you will have a better experience. also use the task manager

if you root it and then freeze blur services it will be even quicker
[Atrix 4G General] bosnak:
You obviously didn't take the time to read my posts. I know more than the average idiot consumer.

The exchanged Atrix now I have to say is - splendid :D

Fast, smooth, and the battery life IS WAY BETTER. I haven't dropped below 50% on most average usage days. On days I use it all day I will get to maybe 20%,

That is with new interfaces and apps etc running, Firefox all that. I've used the phone stock and modified, it's much better now that I exchanged it.
[Atrix 4G General] bosnak:
Sadly, I must inform that I ended up fixing the screen on my iPhone 3GS.

I am currently using my iPhone and trying to sell my not even month old Atrix.

It's to choppy, and I do not like Android, it is not an efficient operating system and doesn't seem finalized.

I have no idea where to sell it, on eBay no one is bidding on Motorola Atrix phones...
[Atrix 4G General] Arsaw:
My brother bought Atrix. I wanted to buy too but turn out I chose Incredible S. Lucky I made the right choice. Atrix is suck. Built quality is terrible. Some how the screen is not properly sealed up, dust went in. Very annoying.
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
Interesting. That's how I feel about iOS whenever I use one of my parents' iPhone 4s.
[Atrix 4G General] stl-soldier:
The worst part of this AT&T phone by Motorola is AT&T and Motorola. The further you get from those the better. The AT&T bloatware and MotoBlur feel like a Ferrari pulling a thousand pound anchor. I am currently running 4.1.8.3 with GingerBlur 2.5 rooted sideloaded frozen, and it runs great. The best part is, it will only improve from here. Despite the best efforts by AT&T and Motorola, this phone is fast. Great hardware, and we are starting to see ROMs capable of using it properly.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Translation - "If Steve Jobs doesn't like flash, then you can't have it either..." ;)
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
^ Believe it or not I can kinda agree with this (at least for now).

IMHO Out of the box, the Atrix is a glorified Motorola Milestone. (seriously not trying to troll at all)

Both phones have Froyo. Milestone's Root ACTUALLY WORKS WITH ADFREE. Milestone built-in task manager closes more programs than the Atrix without having to do a force close too. (I'm bored to death with "Do not use a Task Manager in Android" debates)

Plus my Milestone doesn't have any cap restrictions, where my Bell phone still does (I'm not gonna go Telestra without a Bell stock SBF).

With that said the Atrix has "Potential" and currently more potential for AT&T versions.

Also (with the exception of Gingerblur) I'm not really seeing too much light at the end of the Bell tunnel.

IDK, I'll might give the Atrix another week or so and possibly sell off to a friend. I could honestly see myself coming back to this phone later this year when Gingerbread is out, the bootloader might be unlocked, and the phone on the 2nd time around would be much cheaper.

Like I said, it has a TON of "Potential" (and it could be a real "keeper" down the road), but I'm not feeling the early adopter price tag right now... *shrugs*
[Atrix 4G General] mario925:
my Atrix works perfectly. Way better than the HTC Inspire.
[Atrix 4G General] knlgSeeker:
What he said.. There is no doubt this is currently the most powerful smartphone out there. Keep in mind, it's the first of it's kind in many ways so everything might not run as smooth as you want it to out the box. With a little tweaking (rooting, dumping motorola bloatware etc).. The phones abilities can be appreciated

I'm running motoblur 2.5, my phone runs like a beast! Plus I'm pretty sure none of the other phones mentioned here have the ability to launch a full browser & webtop experience just by connecting to any hdmi monitor (webtop hdmi hack).. None of those phones have a 8 core GPU neither.. But to each his own lol.. I just think anyone that calls the Atrix trash is for lack of a better word.. Retarded. Lol
[Atrix 4G General] rboone18:
I own atrix and a brand new inspire is on it's way to my home. I am going to have both, inspire will be my mod phone and atrix my unmod phone probably unroot atrix once I get inspire. I will just use both. I think ill like having both, just swap out sims.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Is there any way of getting rid of the lock screen? I have a good case so i really don't need the lock screen. I have tried several widgets and apps that is suppose to disable the lock screen but it keeps popping up from time to time.
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
noLock free in the market, worked perfect for me when i was testing it out, but i like having a lockscreen now that i can make widget locker look like my home screen
[Galaxy Tab General] DarkPal:
lockscreen is important for security. Especially on a corporate enviroment (comapny forces me to lockscreen with code to prevent sensitive info on my tab getting viewed).

Also helps with tampering kids.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Im using nolock but lockscreen keeps popping up from time to time anyway. Its really annoying. As for security there are many ways to mitigate risks, one in this case would be to keep the gt out of reach of my kids (3 and 6). I see a bigger risk in one of them dropping it to the floor or something. ;-)
[Galaxy Tab General] krispyjim:
Check out an app in the market called Killswitch.

It's designed for use with tablets and cases. It removes the lock screen and turns off the screen when you close the case.

The dev of this app is active on here and is quite receptive to feedback. Name is 'ftgg99'
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
I actually already have killswitch, i like it, i just never used the no screen lock functionality in it, it was actually worse when i tried it out earlier. But i have now uninstalled Nolock, thinking that it might have been a conflict between killswith and Nolock when both where active. I activated the no screen lock functionality in killswitch and it seems to work ok.

Thank you for reminding me about the no screen lock functionality in killswitch.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Grrr the lock screen just popped up again, and i have activated the no screen lock functionality in killswitch!
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
What if you don't use it for anything corporate and keep it right away from any life forms under 5"4'?
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Are you rooted?

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab General] DarkPal:
LOLz don't blame me blame Samsung for not giving an option to cancel lock-screen. Besides 3 seconds to unlock a screen by simply sliding your finger across isn't much of an effort is it :D
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Yep. Overcome.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
its a Big screen. ;-D
[Galaxy Tab General] skylt:
I use my stock euro tab with my corporate exchange mail wich usually forces a password in addition to the screen lock which makes the thing useless for the family members...

I got myself the touchdown mail app and apart from being ugly and very advanced it actually only demands a password when using mail and calender app which is clever - stock 1 sec slide is the only thing needed to use everything else!!

Brilliant!
[Galaxy Tab General] adzimi:
I had the same issue too as was using the corporate email on my tab. And found out a few weeks ago about touchdown. That resolved the problem. The issue with using corporate email is that you have to key in the security lock password all the time, and its really annoying.
[Galaxy Tab General] lucian777:
To disable the lock screen just install "Battery indicator pro" and press "disable lock screen" on the main interface of the app, woks for 3 days without any issues.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Nahh. . . That did not work at all. . . Lockscreen keeps popping up, . . Does anyone know how to break it or something?
[Galaxy Tab General] samjuan:
I wish I could remove the ugly lock screen, especially that I use the tab in landscape mode almost all the time.

I wouldn't mind the lock screen if it can rotate to landscape, is there a way to do that?
[Galaxy Tab General] nev310:
In killswitch select the 3rd lock setting on unlock on activation and it will skip the lockscreen it worked the best for me. Also do not kill the kill switch app or it might stop working.
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Hmm. . . It just hit me that it might be the exchange sync that keeps enabling the Lockscreen through pushed security settings. . . Ill have a look into that tomorrow. . .
[Galaxy Tab General] 2token2:
Nope that was not it, . . . Dammit!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wompawompa:
I loaded Vegan-tab 5.1.1 and everything is working great, except that i can't see my tablet as an external device anymore while connected by usb to my computer. I do see the sdcard & sdcard2 files from the ifilemanager.

Is there a way to fix this?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Tab:
I noticed something similar and it turned out to be me. I was expecting the "USB connected" message when I plugged it in. However, when I looked at the top bar, there it said "USB". I pulled down the bar, clicked on USB CONNECTED and I was back in business.

Possible for you as well? Something to check...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdzt:
Me too

I'm having a similar problem with Vegan 5.1. The tab is connecting and I'll go to select "Turn on File Sharing" or whatever the option is and everything will appear hunkydory. However, if I attempt to transfer a file it will hang up for a while (on the PC side) and then eventually the connection will be broken. If I look, there is a file of the right size on the internal sd, but I'm not willing to fool around with them in case they're corrupted.

Somebody please help! I've had a good search and can't find any recent posts on this topic.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masiker:
My trouble shooting advice :

A) 5.1.1 has a pull down menu that you have to "active USB"

B) I installed android USB drivers on my PC just in-case so i wouldn't have connection issues.

C)May need a "powered" USB port like Portable HDD .. example: (MAC keyboard USB port isn't powered).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
Vegan by default after install leaves system in USB debugging mode. Go into setup/ applications/development and turn it off.

Hey All,

Having an odd problem. My phone won't connect to sprint service, it will connect to 4g though, So basically i'm roaming on verizon for cell + 1x but on sprint for wimax? I've tried to reboot my phone, battery pull, no idea whats up here lol.
[EVO 4G General] detroit2hi:
Might be stupid to say but

Have you tried to update your PRL?
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Are you rooted? What rom are you on? Have you called sprint and have them refresh your phone?
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
Everything above is a good question. Did you mess with the PRLs?
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
Same thing here. The good news is that I am getting like 2mbps instead of the 70kbps from Sprint. My phone has been going crazy....shows fulls bars...but with triangle (roaming) icon above it. When I emailed c/s they said nothing wrong with towers....but when I called they said there were problems all over with the 3g service....and then the nightly news actually had a feature on why Sprint's service for phone calls were failing. They first blamed it on the electric company saying they weren't supplying enough power to their towers....then said it was because too many people were using smart phones and overloading there bandwidth...

Another crazy thing...I went to use QIK....and it loads up with T-Mobile...not even the same category....my phone it using a rooted stock version with all the latest updates....

Also...checked my online account...it does show a little roaming but not as much as it should...so I guess since my speed have improved 100 times...I won't complain....I know Sprint and Verizon in my area both lease space on the same tower....so not sure why Sprint's speed is so much slower than when roaming on Verizon....if I go to a 4g area....I get about 10mbps....
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] smnc:
Hi,

I'm fairly new to the Streak, although I've been playing around with android for a few months now.

I find all of the Stage UI widgets useless, but I do like the way the adjacent home screens "overlap" in landscape mode using Stage. It's the best way I've ever seen to keep the home screen distortion to a minimum when switching from landscape to portrait.

My problem is that the core 4x4 icon grid is stupid on a huge 5" screen like ours.

I'd love to run 4x5 or even 5x6.

I've tried several of the aftermarket home launchers like ADW and Launcher Pro, but I hate the resizing when switching to portrait mode.

I've also tried multicon on the stock Stage home launcher, but I'm not crazy about it either.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
