LMAO don't be so mellow dramatic.

The OS isn't outdated, it's just not on the bleeding edge of technology with the absolute latest update, my friend. Speaking of bleeding, what's so important and missing from the Atrix that's making your tampon leak all over the place?

If you want to switch to an iPhone, that's all right. We have a great Android community and we all love our Atrix's despite it's minor flaws. No phone is perfect. But it seems like you should genuinely consider sticking to just the Google flagship handsets if you're going to complain so much.

this phone has been out for a lil over a month and your complaining already? Really??? if you don't like the the device just move on, go back to your N1 that has to be rooted and fully modded just to barely reach half of the power that the Atrix has, there's a difference between constructive criticism and ignorance.....i wish people would quit whining about the bootloader on this phone and actually give it a chance, and be patient while the devs are working on it, what if root never existed??? what would u do then?

In my "opinion" if root never existed, we wouldn't have these complaints about the atrix, and they would realize that it's the most powerful phone to date and possibly this year, think about it motorola set a trend with the atrix, the first dual core phone so now every other company is gonna hop on the bandwagon, so give moto some credit at least

Give the guy some slack. If u realy don't care about his wyning than why do u waste ur time replying to his post. maybe he just got bad luck and ended up with some ****y devices.
[Atrix 4G General] blunted09:
i cant say i agree with most of the post but i do agree with the locked bootloader. right now jailbroken iphone's seem to have more freedom than this device. I love it and with the exception of the camera and the bootloader, i really wouldnt change a thing.

but most of us come from a truly rooted device and flashing roms to suit our own needs. Maybe im just spoiled with android's freedom.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
Well I'm back on my n1 not by choice... you guys whining on att have nothing to complain about AT ALL. The bell atrix is really nothing special without sbf or the update... its a tad quicker its a bit smoother but honestly I need an ATT model to even compare.
[Atrix 4G General] brian2220:
i can from a epic 4g and a hero and to say the truth i was tried of flashing all different kinds of crap all the time to just make it work.

all that has gone away with the atrix it just great :D

but i personally think i might get an iphone after my atrix because i have never had one just because i am tired of android because its all the same
[Atrix 4G General] blunted09:
it would be a lie if i said i havent been tempted to sell my atrix while the resale value is fairly high. But there are no phones that compete with everything this phone has to offer...

-best battery life ever by far

-amazing screen

-speaker is the best i have had on a phone

-one very important thing nobody seems to have mentioned is the back cover! Anyone notice that the whole back and corners of the phone are covered by a cover that can be purchased from the store??? GREATEST IDEA EVER!!

-once launcher pro is installed UNCHECK the high quality scrolling and the home screens absolutely fly with no lag ever

-i have a 16gb sd card and the phone comes with another 16!

-future proof for the most part

-the notification bar NEVER lags which is much more than i can say for pretty much every android device i have owned

-hdmi output is surprisingly usefull

Whatever lag is noticable is likely due to everything not being optimized for dual core and this high level of screen resolution(like lwp)
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:

[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
How is can he say he feels more freedom with a jailbroken iphone lol. Me personally compare the jailbreak of an iphone to rooting an android phone lol you can't really do much with an iphone jailbroken or not. Best thing I've seen done on an iphone is dual booting android lol
[Atrix 4G General] darkamikaze:
There's a pretty substantial amount of stuff you can do on a jb'ed iphone.. My gf goes crazy over it.. from themes to jb apps.. her phone always does something new when I see her.

On topic: Yeah you guys don't have to bash the OP so hard.. I understand his pains and woes. Devs are hard at work to make something happen with our phones though the chances IMO are pretty narrow (still keeping hopes). So cut the guy some slack.
[Atrix 4G General] tonyb81:
If a locked bootloader is such a problem for the OP why they hell did you buy the Atrix knowing that it was locked before its release, and also knowing Motorolas previous phone the Droid X has a locked bootloader as well that hasn't been cracked yet.

Thats like knowing your girlfriend is a ***** and isn't for you, but you marry her anyway, then get pissed off that she is a *****.
[Atrix 4G General] naplesbill:
Which is exactly what you can do with a rooted Android phone. Hmmm

As far as bashing the OP, he should not have created a thread with nothing more to say than poor me. I think a few people went a bit overboard in their responses, but what would you expect from a thread with this title and the OP's first post?

This... ^^
[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
Haters.. Lol

Well, I can see not to many ppl care about android only the atrix here by the comments.

Android is good open, fun. But fragmented. When you have apple hardware and a new OS is released you get it. Sorry, thats kind of a big deal. If you have a pure google android phone (n1, NexusS,G2?) The os comes out you get it also. Not on a phone with a mutilated OS on it thats not even fully optimized for dual core. I know it works but gingerbread works much better ie HARDWARE accelerated UI.

Even Google has seen that fragmentation is killing android (If you haven't been reading the tech news and have no idea what i am talking about DON'T comment) I have been on android for 2 years and i have had all iphones up to the 3gs. I may not have custom had custom roms on them. But I never really needed them. If I wanted features I jailbreak it and add them. And most times apple makes them part of the next os iteration.

I wanted this phone since it was called the Moto T2. So coming. I agree performance and hardware wise its probably the closest thing to and iPhone i have had. But not on par or better then hardware wise. People need to learn that features and functionality are 2 different things.

Display Yes its a High res and looks pretty good. But its pentile, not ips.

The body of the phone is plastic.

The Data is slower then my n1 was.

Dual Core Sweet, great battery life games look and run a little better but the atrix is a generation after the iphone so new iphone means that doesnt matter.

Locked bootloader...I think thats self explanatory.

Motoblur account SUCK SUCK SUCK.

THD Games i bought will not run on another android phone if i got it ie the nexusS

Things I like:

Phone is Fast, Sound quality (now that i have had the voice issue fixed), Speaker is loud and clear, battery Life. A hand full of games made for tegra 2 look great.
[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
Actually we didn't know if it was ENCRYPTED we knew it was locked the encryption part came a day or two later. So, let me educate you a little bit since you seem to not know this. Most android phones have locked bootloaders. Even the N1 did. But, you could do a quick adb command to unlock it. There is a difference between locked and encrypted.

Your right I could have returned it. But the iphone 4 was getting old and the nexusS hadn't hit att yet and I wanted a dual core phone. So I went in assuming it was locked and might not be encrypted but hopping it wasn't (since the dx was a omap chip with it built in and this was tegra2 SOC). I foolishly hoped that since root was gotten quickly maybe the bootloader would get unlocked next only to find out it too was encrypted.
[Atrix 4G General] Divinedark:
Honestly, man. You have it all wrong in regards to the people in this thread. No one here is blindly supporting Motorola. We've made our choices and are trying to deal with them as constructively as people on an internet forum can. The reason this guy attracted so many people hating on him was because he felt the need to tell us his nonsensical reasons for taking the phone back. All of which he either knew about before hand, or would have know if he'd read one of the actual informative threads on any Atrix forum on the internet. There was nothing constructive about it. It was a person that saw the need to draw attention to himself for no other reason than he needed a cuddle and thought he'd try to rain on someone else's parade.

I would say the vast majority of the people on this forum actually like their devices. We're trying to work through issues we find, and get right with our purchase. If you aren't happy with your phone and don't feel the need to post your issues in a positive manner, then fine. Leave... Take your phone back and hop on the forum for the next phone you buy. Don't feel the need to write a forum thread that I can only equate to taking your ball and going home... No one here cares. We have our own issues.
[Atrix 4G General] G1-8701:
I agree, well said
[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
Rather then engage in discussion most people here want to talk about my vagina is being filled with sand and hurting me. So yeah I i don't think most people in this thread fully grasp what I am trying to say. I like Device (hardware), But the bastardized version and closed out software really makes this phone not an android experience. Take the thunderbolt of instance. It was locked down. but nows its not.
[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
You've spoken the truth. I'm selling the Atrix for the Nexus 3 (3D?) by the end of the year, and I'll be sticking with the Nexus Line for good (unless they come with mind boggling deficiencies like NO 72OP HD RECORDING)
[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
Right on! Someone gets it
[Atrix 4G General] peacekeeper05:
@thread starter

if you're looking for that openness feeL,

you just picked the wrong phone.

LOL

Maybe something from Samsung, HTC and LG would make you happy and Of course the best phone for you would be a NEXUS since they are more OpeN and receives timely updates (only a bit on HTC though cause they too have been locking down bootloaders, but htc phones are great so far).

The atrix is not the best phone you can choose coming from an Iphone. its just my opinion.
[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
Yes this is the point of my thread. I am came from the n1 btw.
[Atrix 4G General] peacekeeper05:
okay. i wasn't able to read the "n1" part.

i too would love a pure google experience.

just stick to that if you're happy with it. wait for the next nexus.

i bet the next nexus would be good, but it would probably only be available before the year ends cause we haven't seen any news yet regarding it. . :) we hope!
[Atrix 4G General] haloimplant:
So you have it because of a combination of ignorance (or rather misguided optimism) and impatience (to get a dual-core, when there will be more out this summer)?
[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
Yeah, I am not trying to hide the poor choice. I wouldn't agree with ignorance though. My n1 was getting wicked slow. I am jsut saying i have given up on trying to make it work. Gonna sell it and get a iphone 5 or a nexus s.
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
I like my Atrix so far. I was forever flashing different ROMS with my Galaxy S, and while that was fun for awhile, it got a little old. So far there are certain things I dislike about Motoblur (ie lag while swiping across the lock screen, which is why I went fingerprint reader for good), but there are many things I actually enjoy (like the messaging widget, it seems cleaner than other sms widgets I've tried). I haven't noticed lag anywhere else (although I don't use live wallpapers), and the vehicle dock is a decidedly cool feature.
[Atrix 4G General] haloimplant:
Well you assumed that root meant anything as far as unlocking the bootloader but it doesn't.

A little early to line up for an iphone5 isn't it? I didn't think the line would start until at least next week.
[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
I know root doesn't mean unlockable bootloader. i was hoping because it happened so fast that there would be a larger community behind it. But as soon as i saw it was encrypted i should have returned the phone I agree with that. The iPhone 5 if reports are right it isn't gonna be out till sept. Fan boy I am not. Don't plan on waiting in line. I will go on line. Order and wait.
[Atrix 4G General] creativedevil:
If M-Atrix had Gingerbread, it would have been the perfect phone available so far. If it is not, I would say having a larger Dev Community support such as HTC would have been much better, and hence Unlockable Bootloader comes in play. Other than that, if anyone using this phone is happy with 2.2.1, phone has got nothing someone can complain about.
[Atrix 4G General] yotsuna:
I used to like the phone, but let's be real... it's a piece of crap.

The touchscreen becomes non-responsive 10 times a day, the screen randomly decides to take 2-4 seconds to wake from being off, the internet randomly dies and sometimes stays dead for hours at a time (even with wifi disabled), and the battery life is only so-so.

Wrap that turd up inside a package called MotoBlur and you've well summarized the Atrix that we all "love".

No sir, I do not love the Atrix... In fact, at least once a day I grasp the phone in my hand and lust, with dante's fire in my loins, that I wasn't as hard up financially as I am so I could try and channel the spirit of any great NFL quarterback and hurl the electronic atrocity that it is into something made of brick, concrete, or metal and watch its corpse fall lifelessly to the ground and the glorious sense of relief that would accompany the sweet demise of said seed-of-satan electronic device.

I don't think I've had the pleasureless pleasure of wielding such a software crippled piece of dog poop since the "dark time" that I was a Treo 650 owner.

This thing should have never rolled off the assembly line. Period.
[Atrix 4G General] sifon187:
WTF are you talking about. Never had any of these issues, turn in your phone and get a replacement.
[Atrix 4G General] yotsuna:
I am currently on my 3rd Atrix, all with the same spectrum of issues.

I've tried stock, gingerblur, back to stock... nothing helps.
[Atrix 4G General] OSNPA:
Yeah man, haven't seen anything like that. Although you don't seem the type to shy away from expressing your deep-seated anger, I hope you get it worked out.
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
I have had no issues with my Atrix whatsoever. I use LP over Blur and use the "scale" transition effect to move screen to screen with zero lag. I also did the update by Moto...and my screen is real sensitive since. When GB arrives and updates to enable hsupa & 1080....watch out

Motola Atrix

Samsung Captivate - CM7 1.2 ghz

[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
Then perhaps you have no clue how to configure your device properly. Simply changing from pseudo-rom to stock won't do much. You have to freaking tweak your god damn device.

Basic Android settings aren't right for everyone. Tweak the damn settings.

Most of your problems can be solved by taking less than 10 minutes to set things up.

Nevermind, you'll do well with an iPhone. You don't have to tweak much there, except a few stupid things that should have included on the phone. (No home page on safari, haptic feedback, flash)
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Yeah im sure you'll love having your every move tracked saved and placed on both phone and itunes (computer) I to be honest love my Atrix I can say beat phone I've had thus far and I've have a lot of phones (been a phone buff since tmobile was voice stream) I never had an issue with the phone, no lag, stall, had random reboot once (I think .57 fixed that) its for lack of a better device out there amazing. Now everyone is entitled to their own opinion but don't state your opinions as fact. And as some advice from one tech buff to another don't go straight to iphone 4 at least wait till this fall when the iphone 5 comes out that way you'll at least have the best that's out there (that apple has to offer). Btw remember to wear you aluminum helmet.... "they're watching youuuuuu" lol

Just my 2 cents

sent from my better than yours Atrix ;-)
[Atrix 4G General] Ciloteille:
If you disliked something on the iphone... "your holding it the wrong way" maybe you should count all the flaws on ip4 release. I seen several large posts about the massive complaints on whatever theirs was. (Don't care it's not involving me or anything to do in my family unit) so meh.

Also doesn't the iphone 5 look like its gonna be a refreshed iphone 4? Which sadly has same os as... iphone 2 rite? Or am I rite? New apple os preeezy... I might buy a new apple toy.....

And you complain of outdated os
[Atrix 4G General] yotsuna:
I wish this were the case... I had a Nexus 1 for a year, a Tmobile G2, and a Nexus S in addition to this phone.

I do tons of research and spend considerable effort and money dropping carriers to pursue the latest Android hardware and OS.

I just don't want people to get trapped in this phone like I did... any hardcore Android user's end-goal is to get the best hardware possible and the cleanest stock version of the latest build of the O/S so the phone doesn't get held back

On paper, the Atrix is awesome. In practice, I've experienced nothing but pain and a huge step back in usability from the Nexus S, G2, or Nexus 1 even.

I won't have to put up with it much longer - finances are coming around... but I feel bad for people who have to commit longer to a device and end up stuck with this phone for a while.

I don't know how else to describe it other than inferior and crippled.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
Yawn... Who cares.

[Atrix 4G General] Festaman:
I've been thinking more and more about it. I think 90% of the problems come from 2 things. #1 the phones are tailored to the carriers and not the users (I.E. The Fascinate with bing). The iPhone is not (HSUPA not disabled for instance no extra att bloat ware)the nexus one is not, the nexus is not. #2 The skins the the company's put on their devices are drastically slowing down the phone, and the update process(Any Galaxy S device).

I do like android (Stock) better then iOS. But that seems to be a pipe dream now a days. Only the official Google phones n1, ns seem to get the current OS. The idea of the open handset alliance is great. But, unfortunately greedy corporations have ruined it.

Tried it again this morning. Turned on navigation when I left for work. After a 20 minute drive, it was still searching for GPS. Most of the time it had my location off the coast of Ecuador, but would occasionally jump to my general area. I assume this happened as I switch towers or as I passed by logged APs.

Turn on aGPS. While not working correctly, it will help some.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewayne01:
By turning on aGPS, do you mean allow Google location services (turning on wifi)?

I have had this enabled frmo the beginning.

I have my Thunderbolt and Nexus One sitting side by side now. In GPS Status, my N1 has 11/11 Fix/Sats. Thunderbolt has none.

Am I the only one thats has a completely non functioning GPS chip?

BTW, I am running BAMF Remix 1.5 as of today, but I have seen no improvements in GPS.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGraphix:
Mine said, searching for gps forever. I flashed a gps file an it fixed the problem. I'll try to post where I found it later. Pm me I I don't.

EDIT

HERE IS HOW TO FIX, "SEARCHING FOR GPS." You'll have to be rooted to do this. Credit goes to: kejar31 over at XDA-Developers. Requirements: You'll have to be rooted. Download the file: ImproveGPSlock.zip on one of those pages by that user. Download Quick Boot from Android Market, then boot into recovery. Download the file: ImproveGPSlock.zip and place it on your SD card for your phone in the root folder(root folder means in no folder) Then reboot into recovery, you see the file in your sd card by clicking the "install zip from sdcard". Install that file, reboot your phone and your navigation will be working instantly. Here's the link to that page: http:// xdaforums.com/ showthread.php?t=1022654&page=2

Here's the download link

http://www.mediafire.com/?7ujg6lws6k8cosj

I tried everything. From Clearing my gps cache to applications on the market. I even started up Google maps then navigation. I also used root explorer to edit a text file. Nothing worked. When I flashed this file it finally did away and is a guaranteed fix for searching for gps.
