[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakedbread:
i finally picked recieved the Atrix in the mail after a loooong month wait (USPS international shipping is terribly slow) and after reading about the LCD i couldnt wait to take a look for myself

to be perfectly honest (imo), i think the pentile screen is really noticable. I'm coming from a HD2 and i can really tell the colour differences + seeing pixel grids in certain situations

I really thought the higher resolution would make it really "sharp" and comparable to the iphone4s IPS screen, but i've gotta say the Iphone4 looks much better (and i'm a HUUGE apple hater, but the screen is extremely nice)

I'm actually waiting on the Galaxy S2 to see the SAMOLED+ because they say the got rid of the pentile technology

im still pretty happy with the atrix though
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
Well.... i may be mistaken.... but the iPhone 4's resolution is only a hair smaller than the Atrix's..... but the iPhone 4's screen is also a half inch smaller than the Atrix's. So right there any idea of sharpness based on resolution should have been questionable. As for the screen itself..... the iPhone 4 is an IPS..... that's basically what it all boils down to. I'd say you don't get much better than an IPS screen... but basically.... you CAN'T get much better than an IPS screen. Hell... the difference between a 24" IPS and 24" TN panel computer monitor is usually a few hundred bucks. I REALLY want one.... but don't really wanna pay that much, especially since my next choice would preferably be LED backlit, and i've yet to see a reasonable one. The even bigger downside to me wanting an LED backlit monitor is that it seems 90% of them don't even bother with a VESA mount.... which makes any form of aftermarket monitor arm like i currently use for my 24" Gateway LCD absolutely unusable.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
I don't think IPS is that big of a deal for mobile. It's main advantage over TN is viewing angles, which aren't a big deal with a small screens that you can aim right at your face. (My 24" TN panel on the other hand, from viewing distance it's impossible to get a good angle on the entire screen especially top/bottom.)

Not also that AMOLED-type screens have almost great viewing angle, probably even better than IPS. Well-implemented they also have great colour and contrast, better than any LCD especially the contrast.

It comes down to pixel/subpixel count, and the iphone4 at 960x640 is way ahead of the pack there. An RGB 800x480 screen is decent but a bit short, a 960x540 RGB would be almost the same, but pentile 800x480 or 960x540 are wayyy off to those with distinguishing eyes especially with certain images (primary colours, small sharp features like text).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrldsuksgo2mars:
If you look at something closer than 30cm all the time you will induce eye problems. So if you plan to see in the future, the small dpi difference with the iPhone doesn't matter. ;-)

Atrix is about right (for me atleast) at 30cm.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpalatsi:
LOL, GTFO of our Atrix bulletin board Apple troll... but seriously, did you get lost?

Thread: I owned an iPhone 4 prior to my Atrix and I really don't see a huge difference, they're both quite beautiful. ;)

Also, I refer you here: http://unity3d.com/unity/publishing/android

I too am disappointed at the lack of selection of games on android but the ones I can play DESTROY the iPhone's graphics ANY DAY.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom2517:
I don't quite agree because I can easily see the difference, even from 30 cm away, but that been said, when I first got my iPhone 4 and showed it to my girlfriend with 3Gs (and commented on how beautiful the screen is), she looked at the iPhone 4 and said, "so what's the difference"?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joel Pollack: Nouvoyance:
In response to the question about RGB stripe vs. PenTile RGBW, let me comment from the company that developed of the underlying PenTile RGBW display technology. The Atrix phone has nearly the same display format (qHD) as an iPhone4. RGBW adds the benefit of approximately doubling the light throughput of this panel, enabling high resolution together with good power efficiency. This technology for high resolution color is more power efficient than any other competitive display technology being offered today. For images that have white or metallic reflections, the RGBW can add a brilliance to these image features not seen with legacy RGB stripe LCDs.

While PenTile RGBW displays have one-third fewer subpixels, they still have the same number of pixels thanks to subpixel rendering. The adaptive filters included in the technology make text edges sharper, resulting in excellent black and white text, even for single stroke fonts. It is true that if you can focus your eyes at distances much closer to the display than average people, you will see a pattern of subpixels that is different than legacy RGB stripe. This pattern is only noticed with fully saturated colors like green on black. Since this technology is only applied to high resolution applications like the Atrix, there is generally no reason to put your eyes that close to see such differences, which is why we designed the technology to be optimal for viewing at a normal distance. The last commenter who indicated that he can see the Atrix subpixel pattern at 30 cm must have vision that can discern more than 55 cycles/degree of vision—a number in excess of the 50 cy/deg that is generally considered the limit of human visual acuity. Such a rare individual can, by definition, also see the subpixel pattern in the legacy RGB stripe such as Apple’s iPhone 4 display.

The key thing to keep in mind about PenTile RGBW: because power consumption is such a big issue for mobile devices, we felt that up-close pattern visibility was an appropriate design factor in return for achieving lower power consumption for the display itself. If, however, putting your eyes extremely close to the screen is what you generally do, and this is more important than the benefits of power savings, then perhaps you might prefer a legacy RGB stripe display in your phone.

The best way to determine how this looks is to see this with your own eyes and judge the performance for yourself. I'm also happy to give you more detail on RGBW if you would like to discuss separately.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slade8525:
the pentile display has some advantages but to me too many disadvantages. skin hues are way off, color rendition is innacurate, and there is clearly a noticeable amount of pixellation on the screen.

i like the phone but the pentile display could go.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoozemode:
I'm sorry but just compare the screen to others, it is crap, really. The PenTile is even more visible on my Atrix than on my old Desire with Amoled despite higher resolution. Small text is blurry and with visible pixels. Blacks are grey and the screen suffers from serious banding. Further, scrolling in menus with small text results in flickering and inability to read the text and when moving the phone pixel-patterns temporarily occur in bright areas.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JdeFalconr:
I very happily sold my iPhone4 (at a net profit, no less) and moved to an Atrix. While I have yet to see a better phone screen than the iPhone 4's I still think the one on the Atrix is still gorgeous, even from behind the clear InvisibleShield I put on.

If the iPhone 4's display truly is higher resolution than my eye can make out then I will gladly do without the marketing hype and the extra pixels that I would never be able to expereince anyway.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
this is probably the stupidest thread on all of xda.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks2hot4u:
The only thing I miss coming from the iphone 4 is off angle is absolute **** on the atrix. The colors change complely and becomes very blurry. before I sold the IP4 I put them side by side and tested video and picture and the iphone off angle destroys the atrix from very little off angle. Other than the screen and batt life compared I love the atrix!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sservati:
I finally bought the ATRIX today!!! I compared it iPhone 4, HTC Incredible S, HTC Legend and Nexus S:

Problem that people mentioned about the screen do exist specially I can see pixels in some screens and Green color do has issue! But over all not horrible as some said.

Comparing to Nexus S, I think ATRIX is better since Nexus S was very over saturated!

Comparing to Incredible S, I truly liked the screen of the Incredible S but the phone is not loaded as ATRIX. ( My best vote is for Incredible S Screen)

Comparing to iPhone 4, I think colors are better in iPhone but 4" for me I like it more.

Comparing to Legend..........ATRIX is better :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
SAMOLED: Better viewing angles, MUCH better pixel response time (no ghosting like LCDs). Colors are subjective, won't comment on that, only facts.

iPhone 4: Higher pixel density and IPS vs. TN = way better viewing angles.

HTC's SLCDs: Not pentile... but still lame TN based screens.

The atrix combines TN (horrible viewing angles) with pentile and a very bad refresh rate (tons of ghosting) so the only thing it really has on other phones is a higher resolution but lower subpixel count. Not really that great when you consider all the cons the screen has.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exador:
Who cares it's a ****en 4" screen you look at for a few minutes at a time. It's not like you're gonna watch the Superbowl on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimslim:
One of the main reasons I picked Atrix was the size of the screen. My wife has the iPhone 4. My screen is same as wide but half inch longer and I gladly use that extra estate, especially when typing, with the keyboard out...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devnant:
Well, coming from a HTC Touch HD. Atrix screen is just drop dead gorgeous to me. I don't have the "magic eyes" tech experts have to say the screen is ****. If a pentile screen is there to save battery power, I say hats off to that and well done!

Would rather have an "ugly" screen than one that makes my phone run out of power in a few hours.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoozemode:
Why not have both? Apple manages that with iPhone4, why shouldn't Motorola?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smbell:
You don't have to have magic eyes to see it. I took my atrix back because of the screen quality alone. There is no way I could get past it. The jaggy text, color banding and pattern are all perfectly visible from a normal viewing distance. I love android, but I'll happily wait until I find a phone that matches the iphone4 screen quality.

I agree with this 100% whether everyone realizes it or not, the screen is subpar and IMHO motorola shouldn't have gone the route they did with the screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
Pretty much the only time i can even tell that something with the screen is a bit different is when it's at 100% brightness.... which if i have it on Automatic brightness.... it never sets itself to.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patmannyc:
I owned the iPhone4 for 7 months, the screen is awesome, the Galaxy S screen is awful imo and the Atrix is ALMOST as good as the iPhone 4 screen. MILES better than the galaxy.

Just go to an AT&T store and pick up the demo phone and look at it for 5 seconds. You'll see it for yourself immediately.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian2220:
i agree with you

i had an epic since just after launch i was never happy with it and then i picked up and atrix at bestbuy and just fell in love with it and canceled sprint.

i have never touched any of the iphones ever but have a new ipod and it looks the same as the atrix
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmboy5:
I bought a lens extension tube for my T2i for fun to take macro pictures on the cheap, and took another picture of the Atrix screen.

Pay attention to the center mostly, the blurriness around the sides are one of the drawbacks to using an extension tube rather than a real macro lens.

http://www.mylilsite.net/images/atrix/homescreen2-t2i.jpg

You can now see each subpixel and can see that it is indeed RGBW but within the size of two pixels (squares). Any individual pixel only shows two possible colors and that's what causes the checkerboarding pattern that I've mentioned in previous posts.

Reach your own conclusions as you see fit.

However, I have finally figured out why you iTrools continue to wander the halls of Android sites. You want to see whats new and cool since your yearly fix of iStupidity hasn’t shown its ugly face yet.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
Anyone else on T-Mobile having issues with network-based location? I can switch to edge and the phone can use the cell network to determine its location but when I switch back to 3G it can find its location. GPS and WiFi work though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teleknEsis:
Actually, YES! I'm an Android developer in Austin TX and the past 2 days I've noticed Network Location stopped working on 3G. WiFi and Edge work fine.

Luckily, there's a T-Mobile corporate sales office on the 3rd floor of my building so I went up there to talk to them. They had me write an email which they forwarded to their RF Engineers.

I got an email back last night saying the Sr. RF Engineer was experiencing the same problem I described and they said the issue had not been known to them until I brought it up. They are currently looking into it.

I tested on a G2x, 2 N1's, and a NS with the same results. I'm thinking the 42 Mbps upgrade has something to do with it, although you wrote this post April 5th......
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cchhat01:
yes i had this issue for about 2 weeks as well.

problem started when tmobile changed cells/towers around my neighborhood.

i noticed this because i used cellumap app which shows your cellid. it was different once the towers were changed. but the good thing is that couple weeks later, the location was available.

i had a hard time with the news and weather widget during the time of the unavailability of the location. it kept on pulling the information from a location near where i was working even after i refreshed meticulously. after rebooting the phone, news and weather widget didnt have any idea of where i was if i was using the new towers in my area. but all is well now.

so if this is still happening, most likely you're also undergoing tower changes. it should settle in a couple of weeks.

hope it helps.

I am expecting my G-TAB on Thursday, and am trying to do all the research I can to hit the ground running. I am on the fence when it comes to which ROM to install. I'm debating on three.

TNT 4.4.0

G-Harmony Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Honeycomb elements

VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition - Experimentals (VEGAn-7-03082011-Experimental)

Does anyone have opinions on these ROM's? I know the Gingerbread ones are experimental, but I was wondering just how stable they are?

Advice?

I use TNT Lite 4.4.0 because it seemed the easiest to install and I love it. I have thought about trying Vegan but why bother if I am already happy. I have had zero problems with it aside from a few random apps not working. The only thing I wish it had was a swipe keyboard but alas...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxdelirium:
I have tried VEGAn 5.1.1, VEGAn 7, Corwins tweaked CM7 and the CM7 with tablet tweaks. Currently running the CM7 tablet tweaked rom and its very fast and stable. All Gapps working fine on it. VEGAn 7 has some problems last time I used it, but if gojimi releases another version I'll probably try it.

I like the various tweaks built in with the CM7, which is why I am partial to those roms. VEGAn 5.1.1 was excellent while I was running it, and the only reason I switched was to try out something new!
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
I'm running Fusion 1.3 and happy with it sans MMS which does not allow access to contact groups. It was suggested that I install the messaging .apk from a different rom. I have done that (by overwriting the old apk with the new) using supermanger and then a reboot.

I can receive messages however when I try to send I get a process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly.

How can I get this to stop happening?

Thanks,

[Captivate General] JOe K.:
I installed the original and it worked fine. However, there is a considerable size discrepancy between the ones from other roms and the one from fusion.

The fusion mms.apk is approx. 1.3mb where as the ones from Supernova or Phoenix are 3.5mb

Ill answer what I can:

3) I use and really like Office suite Pro. Its 15 bucks but it is solid. You can try the demo version for 30 days for free and then decide how you like it.

4) I use "dropbox" to sync files between my tab and my two computers. Plus it backs everything up online so you can access them anywhere. Great App!!!

7) I also recommend the Mozilla web browser. I like it a lot better then the stock one it comes with. Also, Pulse is a great app if you like to read the news/bloggs often.

8) I have heard a lot of people use dolphin to play video but I have yet to try it. I have had trouble myself playing videos. Be sure you get the adobe 10.2 download so Youtube works.
