[HD7 General] rob_p:
Has anyone else had issues with their HD7 dropping calls on a regular basis?

Recently my phone keeps on dropping calls. It's most infuriating as I'm in the middle of moving house, so have a lot of important calls to banks, solicitors etc... and so have to redial, go through securit again, all of which is costing me a lot of money as the calls are not free!!

Anyway, I don't know if it's the operator (I'm on Three in the UK), or the phone? It didn't use to do this, I was on vodafone, then O2, and switched to Three a couple of months back. I also upgraded to the Nodo update using the HTC European ROM rather than the O2 update (the phone was from O2 originally), so don't know if that could be another thing that could have cause the problem?

I have full reception where I am at work - I think the mast is pretty much outside the building - but it will suddenly drop away to no signal mid call and cut out.

Just wondering what other people's experiences are and if anyone has any insight as to what the most likely cause is. At this point, I'm about to ring Three and go balistic at them, but don't want to do that if the likely culprit is the phone!
[HD7 General] sutt359:
Me and the girl friend had the same problems afew months back, hers a hd2 and mine the hd7 we are both on o2.

But like you said you are on 3, it might be worth making a gold card and flashing to the generic Htc 1.69 rom. I found the first radio that came on the o2 HD7 was rubbish the one that comes with the HTC rom is so much better.
[HD7 General] Linkinworm:
iv never heard or seen good things from 3 network. my friend was on them for a few years and never had reception orange are okish (friends phone always "off" when calling cos he has no reception) 02 are only slightly better ( i get 1 more bar in areas where they cant get any at all)
[HD7 General] rob_p:
In fairness, i'm not so sure that it is 3. I've rolled back to official O2 ROM, then updated to Nodo the other night. So far so good - no dropped calls, and reception seems to be a bit more consistent. So I think the issue could have been more to do with the HTC European ROM that I put on the phone, and that for some reason, the two just didn't get along.

Other than this problem, I have nothing but good things to say about 3. Where I live, reception is generally pretty good - better than O2 or Orange. They do great tarrifs - hence why I switched from Vodafone who's data tarrifs were laughable in comparisson.

I'll keep an eye on things, see if I start to get dropped calls again or not.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_yarbrough:
hi all. i flashed trigger yesterday on my vibrant and i'm loving it so far. i just switched from bionix 1.3.1 and i loved bionix, but trigger seems to have a couple of more tweaks that i like better. anyways, since i installed trigger, when i try to open the "my account" app, it immediately force closes. i tried uninstalling it from titanium backup, it uninstalled, but immediately reinstalled itself. when i go to the market to try and download the "my account" app, it shows already installed. i just want to be able to use "my account". any ideas?

thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MoreGone:
Hello,

For some reason with my Thunderbolt the apps in the market are not being backed up and re-installing themselves. On my Droid X whenever I would flash a ROM and go into market, all the previously installed apps would be queued up and re-install themselves. So naturally when I got the TB I was expecting this to happen, which it didn’t. I went ahead and re-installed all the apps for a couple days before I had a chance to go through the somewhat lengthy process of rooting. Well, got around to rooting last night and hoping that the apps would back themselves up now thinking maybe they would only re-install on the same device I flashed a ROM with no luck. Anyone have an idea of what could preventing this from happening on this phone?

When I look on market.android.com it shows the apps installed so I can’t re-install them from the comfort of the web. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Yo_Droid:
I had this problem before too. What I did was go into Settings - Applications, and find "Market". I then cleared the cache and the data. I cycled power to the phone and the next time I went into the Market app it added all my previously purchased and free apps correctly. Hope this helps!

-Yo_Droid
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] god5337:
I dont think the market does an automatic backup. And the history it keeps is sketchy at best, it looses alot of apps i had installed. Appbrain would be a better option, it doesnt autoreinstall, but will let you do batch installs. Even better would be a true backup app like Titanium backup, it backs up your apps and assosiated data. But with your current setup, you can tell the market to install the app again, it will work, even if it thinks it is already installed.

[Atrix 4G General] sservati:
I saw the hands on video of HTC Sensation today and It is starting to kill my desire for ATRIX :(

I'm also waiting to see if Bell Canada will offer Nexus S. Having a locked boot loader is painful on ATRIX and also no able to play H.264 video!

What do you think? Can ATRIX owners defend it or I should wait for Nexus S or some other device?
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
Pun intended??
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
"Performance was, as you'd expect from a 1.2GHz dual-core machine, snappy all around, though we still caught some slight lag and insufficient frame rates when the Sensation was dealing with some of those yummy new 3D animations"

Its basically if you want a 4.3 or 4 screen tegra 2 or snapdragon.

Motoblur or sense.

Less Ram, Smaller Battery, Less storage, 1080p out of the box, unlocked bootloader but you never know these days.

Everything looks great till you actually get it then a million complaints about it later.

What do you see so great about it?:confused:

If I get rid of my atrix it will be for something much much better not something that needs to be rooted/OC'ed/rom'ed to perform and get decent battery life.

I just want the 1080p/2.4 update sooner than later and I'll be fine for a while.

I would wait till there's some official reviews/tests/benchmarks, remember, everyone blew their load on the Atrix before it came out and we now know the Atrix sucks right....
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
By the time it comes to Canada, there will be quad cores out. lol
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
I'd still choose the Atrix over the Sensation
[Atrix 4G General] twoeleven99:
do it. ive had the atrix for a month its not that great. plus sense kills motoblur. Actually sorry, the atrix is a great phone. my prob is with at&t mostly, which hinders the atrix imo. i havent seen the new htc device in video but ive read the specs and it sounds awesome, i dont know how much better the 1.2 dual core is than the tegra dual core so i couldnt make a recommendation. personally im returning the strix and moving over to tmobile for the g2x
[Atrix 4G General] sservati:
What I want is ATRIX + Sense + Unlocked Boot Loader + I can play any movie on it without the need to re-encode!

I'm Ok with screen and every other complains about ATRIX and I don't care about how great is the video that it records.

Sense can happen if the Boot Loader gets unlocked but movie playback?!!

It sounds stupid but the Ad of Sensation got me with the new Sense UI ;)
[Atrix 4G General] facetubespam:
I would stick with my Atrix over the Sensation.

The Sensation comes with 4gb ROM but ONLY 1gb is available to you since Sense takes up 3gb along with the android OS. Atrix has 2gb to apps alone (with 11 for everything else). So if you wanted to store more than 1gb of apps, like say your pictures, videos, or music, you'd have to get a microSD card and pay extra for that.

Sensation's quadrant scores are really low right now. You can claim it is pre-release, but if its enough to be shown to the public and bragged about, then it is ready to be scrutinized in the mangled Quadrant benchmark scoring.

1 vs 1.2 is really no big deal since Android for phones are not optimized for dual cores right now anyways.

And a 1520mah battery for HTC.......yeah. I'll enjoy my 1920 right now thanks.

I gave it a good look, but I'm still really glad I got the Atrix and did not hold out for the Sensation.

[Atrix 4G General] bee55:
Actually the bootloader will be locked just like the Thunderbolt's was according to Paul O'Brien

"HTC on Sensation bootloader: no changes to current bootloader security strategy. *sadpanda*"

However as seen here, http://www.anandtech.com/show/4243/dual-core-snapdragon-gpu-performance-1-5-ghz-msm8660-adreno-220-benchmarks/2 the new Snapdragon's performance is probably better (taking into account that the Mobile Development Platform that Anandtech had was running on 2.3, had a 1,5GHz CPU and a screen resolution of only 800x480) than Tegra. Still I think that it won't make a big difference and in terms of other specs the Atrix equals or beats the Sensation, so I'll stick to mine for sure.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I'm a big HTC fan after my delightful experience with the HTC Desire Z. But although it's a great phone, I wouldn't get rid of my Atrix anytime soon. Even though we still have a locked bootloader.

Now, if I didn't have the Atrix then I'd probably jump all over this. But as great as the Sense foundation is, I'd wait until the devs are able to purge a lot of the junk so I can still get the Sense experience sans bloat. Sense is great but stock Sense is too bloated for my liking.
[Atrix 4G General] sservati:
And what about the h.264 video play back, is there any solution yet?
[Atrix 4G General] shriva:
I think there's a 1080 recording mod out now? Just a little edit to a file, and you have to use lgcamera app..
[Atrix 4G General] :
I'm 99% sure the Sensation will be locked down. Why? Look at the Thunderbolt they had a lot of luck to unlock it. Do you think they will get that same luck again after HTC found out how they did it.

Also some versions only have 1GB internal storage and some have 4GB our Atrix has 16GB on board.

Also it has 768MB of RAM we have 1GB of RAM.

It's processor is 0.2 ghz more powerful you won't notice that difference but you probably will notice the ram difference and the app storage space difference. The Atrix uses a Tegra processor thus it can use the Tegrazone. The Sensation does not use a Tegra.

The only thing it has is the 4.3 inch screen. Depends who you ask some might like it.
[Atrix 4G General] Alejandrissimo:

[Atrix 4G General] MarcMaiden:
the only thing i like about the new sense is the lock screen. I know we can use widget locker to achieve similar results but i have always felt that it is a bit clunky to use.

if we could get the new sense lock screen on the atrix i would be moist with desire
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
There was nothing "new" that impressed me today about the Sensation.

People are drooling over the lock screen, yet I use "No Lock" on my Android devices anyway. Plus we have yet another underwhelming battery from HTC.

As for the Nexus S, I will never buy ANY phone that doesn't come with Micro SD...

[Atrix 4G General] slimslim:
Sensation would be the answer for those whose att canceled the unlimited data plan. I would go right away. Luckily I still have the unlimited and I think the Atrix is still a better phone. Not a big fan of 4.3" at least not now. Maybe in the future when 2 ghz, 2 gb ram, honeycomb and battery friendly lte device will replace my laptop, then I will go with an 4.5" screen...

[Atrix 4G General] noxlord:
The sensation is great, but I would not call that an upgrade over the Atrix. hardware-side at least. The next big thing after the Atrix will be quad cores. Production will startin September and phones will come out before the end of the year. Before then, I don't see the point of upgrading phones for small upgrades of cpu clock or small time gizmo like NFC (not yet usefull).

Of cource, SenseUI kick motoblur in the ass and the atrix run froyo and got a locked bootloader.

On another note, the Sensation is a AWS band phone, it will only work with Videotron 3G or wind/mobilicity. If you really are on Bell, you can forget using that phone in Canada.
[Atrix 4G General] jchap2k:
I am very curious what will happen if AT&T acquires T-mobile. I am an AT&T customer, and really wish that the HTC Sensation was coming to AT&T instead of T-mobile. Now I heard that AT&T might be buying T-Mobile, so I wonder what will happen to phones like this one, which are made for T-Mobile freq bands, if AT&T buys them out.
[Atrix 4G General] rex-tc:
I don't know why anyone would want the HTC phone. Didn't it score less in benchmarks even with it being clocked higher than the tegra 2? Also it is locked to T-Mobile and hasn't it been said that these smartphones will not work on AT&T? Plus less RAM (is it even lp-DDR2), lower PPI screen, Sense, funky rounded looking design, half the quandrant scores, small battery, 1GB storage (WTF?), and just as locked down bootloader. I don't see any advantage to this phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Alejandrissimo:
MKV is a CONTAINER

put this mkv into a MP4 container without recompress (I mean no re-encoding) an try

Im sure you will can play it

I dont have my atrix yet, since Im in mexico and atrix comes ultil may.

But reading tegra 2 specs im sure the chipset can play h264 in mp4 container
[Atrix 4G General] sservati:
I'm going to get ATRIX on friday hopefully, I have played with it a lot in store and none of the complains I heard up to now was existed for me during my time with the phone.

I only wish boot loader gets unlocked and I can have freedom(Which I don't think so, since as I heard all these boot loader encryption is caused by copyright pushes and we will see locked one on Sensation too if HTC decides to really launch HTC Watch on it)

Tegra 2 supports base line H.264 and it is mentioned in the specs as (strict) but I don't actually care my movies are all DivX AVI files!
[Atrix 4G General] nickgto:
I'm glad I got the Atrix. As the very first mobile phone in the market to sport a dual core processor, it should be enough to channel me through the two years before my next upgrade on March 2013. By then the support for multi core SOCs would be prevalent, and maybe Quad Core SOCS. Hopefully LTE service is available with AT&T by then. My dream device to replace my Atrix should have LTE, Quad Core A15 @ 2Ghz possibly Tegra 4, 3GB of DDR 3 on tri channel memory, 32GB of built in memory, 12mp Stereoscopic camera, 3mp front facing camera on a 4.5 inch display. There will always be new phones that are going to be released that should eclipse the Atrix, but for sure it won't be too far behind.

[Atrix 4G General] sservati:
No sign of Nexus S on Bell Yet!
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
Although it lacks in hardware, has low battery life, as far as the ram the 4gb. I will take this over the Atrix for what i think are important reasons.

I can't use this atrix as a phone. 60% of the time i have the bad mic issue. People think im talking underwater. I am returning this phone again for the second time, mostly because of this issue.

HUSPA is not all that is capped. This has had everyone blinded to the fact that the HSDPA is capped as well . While my iphone buddies are downloading at 3-5 mbps. The locked bootloader is ridiculous. I do not think moto intends on cracking it. HTC has been locking bootloaders for a long time now. They always get cracked or they know the consumer and leave known exploits because HTC is a developer friendly company.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
The Atrix will play H.264 Main Profile stuff, too. I believe the big issue is that most encoding programs default to using weighted P-frames for Main Profile, which the Atrix does not support.
[Atrix 4G General] sservati:
I have 2 more questions: When we use the WebTop MOD and so don't need the HD Dock can we use any bluetooth mouse and keyboard with ATRIX or we need Motorola ones?

Also is there any way to completely shut down MotoBlure? We have root access why can't we shut off what we don't want?

And Hey Again...........No Sign of Nexus S on Bell :((

Ok, Finally I decided to get the ATRIX :D

I got it on friday and I'm almost happy with it. Screen is not as good as iPhone 4 or even HTC's SLCD but not horrible and I like 4"!

No lags up to now (Phone is fast) and data speed on Bell Canada is the same as other Android phones on it!

MOTOBlur is not that bad as this is my first Motorola phone but I hate the launch bar down the screen...idiotic!

Pretty much I'm happy with my phone but It is not the greatest phone of all times :D
[Atrix 4G General] omnius1:
The issues you're mentioning are not native overall to the atrix itself. Your mic issue has been reported on a few models but it isn't a normal thing for the atrix. Your hsdpa... well you should be taking your complaints to your carrier mine isn't capped. My carrier (bell) also didn't screw us out of using non market apps.
[Atrix 4G General] zcucurullo:
Go with the sensation, just put a big micro sdcard on it (32gb), i have one and it's the best android device i have. You will get ICS official (already out) or install a custom rom (Android Revolution HD by Mike 1986), you will get beats audio also.

I'm trying out the atrix now, but i still like the HTC sensation more.
