[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerowand:
Artix, hands down. I have both, used the cappy for a while and now have had the atrix for almost a year.

My experiance with the cappy, it has bad battery life, horrible gps but great for graphics. I also agree if you go with the cappy put a rom on it quick. The cappy is very easy to mod and return to stock if needed. I turned mine into a cappy touch for the kids to play on.

My experiance with the atrix, great battery life, I go all day music, calls, text, wifi and 4g internet, rss feeds, email, facebook, gaming for maybe an hour a day and at the end I still average about 30%-40% battery left. For me that is the game changer. Plus there are not many phones out there with dual core, and 1GB of memory.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autumn_leaf:
atrix, of course this is the atrix subforum..so you should expect more bias here. though i see no real reason to choose a single core over a dual core this late in the year.

people talk about future proofing like it's insurance against buyer's remorse. in a way that's true, but vague. in a specific way think about what you're using the smart phone for. most people would want to utilize the phone to the fullest, or at least play the latest games. you plan on getting the latest apps then having the latest phone is usually a must as most developers will develop their games for high end phones.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
That's quite a feat considering the phone was released 5 months ago.

I've never used a Atrix, but the price on the Atrix dropped more and faster than the Captivate ... I think that implies something.

Why do you have to choose between those two? Two superior phones are around the corner: Galaxy S II and Thrill. That's the tough choice I am facing. Both dual core, 1GB slow RAM or 512 MB RAM that's twice as fast plus a 3D screen.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Or get an ATRIX it has 1 gig if fast ram.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
As fast as the SGS II: single channel. Thrill has dual channel, and the highest quadrant score on ant stock phone. SGS II with have dual 1.2GHz cores.

The captivates GPU is better than atrix, so gamers choose captivate.

Ask the same question in the captivate forum for a bunch of people that had both and chose captivate. The audience is important.

IMO, The captivate us more future proof, as long as the Nexus S (another option to consider now) is the dev phone. Once Ice Cream Sandwich releases, the Captivate will have it long before the Atrix.

Sent from my Captivate running Continuum 5.6
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
Um, more future proof? Sorry, but how do you figure that?

Also, long before the Atrix? We have an unlocked bootloader now, so I don't see how that's a valid argument.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Um, I think I explained it.

Not fully future proof, but more than the Atrix.

I was running gingerbread on my captivate when the Atrix dropped. In the world of Android releases 5 months is indeed a long time.

Unlocked bootloader is no help without a dev following to use it. So many early adopters in the dev community skipped the Atrix and have already moved on. Read:DesignGears just to name one.

Someone else already noted if you are looking for ROMs and dev improvement get the captivate, so I even other Atrix users see that point.

My overall point was to wait for the better hardware. But if you want more Atrix vs Captivate stories check the posts in the Captivate forum about 4 months ago, as the 30 day return window was closing on early adopters.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
Well, silly boy, Designgears is back :D He's developing a ROM for us too. And you can't compare you guys getting Gingerbread to us.

Times have changed, and it seems like you haven't kept up with the news. We even have a CM7 alpha. Which we're getting a lot quicker than the Captivate did.

Granted, the locked bootloader was a problem. But no longer.

Also, the person that talked about the dev improvements, was me. A device like the cappy shouldn't need dev improvements to be usable after it powers up.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBassman369:
I own a Captivate, a Nexus S, and an Atrix. I can tell you right now the Atrix blows them away--I have tried them side by side.

If you want the same TouchWiz ROM with a different theme, horrible GPS, and a 3 hour battery if you actually use your phone for games, get a Captivate.

If you want a good phone with decent battery life, a high resolution screen, and a perfect GPS, with OFFICIAL Gingerbread, get an Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
That's awesome that DG is back, you guys are in for a treat.

Back to my original question: why are those two "old" phones your only choice? If its a matter of cost, wait a month and get a brand new phone: Attain or Thrill, they won't be much more. If you are locking yourself into a two year (possibly 12 months if your bill us enough each month) I would say don't choose either at this point. If you have this choice because a friend just upgraded and they have those two phones sitting around, then try both. Make your own mind up, don't listen to me, or anyone else here. YOU will be the one stuck with the phone for the next while.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
If he wants a Droid NOW, these are the two best options, IMO. LG Thrill has been pushed back, and Attain is still nowhere in sight.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
They are not here now, but lately att has been giving 2 weeks or less from announcement and availability. RadioShack will be selling both phones in August. Thrill was pushed back like 2 weeks, still August.

The only reason to buy either of these phones now is if you could get them off contract.

This is a general discussion to share your opinuin about your x10 after the updates and (((bravia engine ))) :D .....And at the same time i would thank our devs and SE for what they did for us ... :)
[XPERIA X10 General] walidhiphop:
I'm realy happy with this update...and i was on fire waiting for it till my friends became calling me "GINGERBREAD"......

I'm having no problem at all, I wipe all the stuffI don't use (timescape) facebook inside xperia), and IM really happy with it, best battery life ever
[XPERIA X10 General] hemo1001:
good question ...

anyway i removed timescape and a process called event stream and it's pretty fast now .. seriously.... try using customized stock rom maybe you'll feel the difference ... :D good luck
[XPERIA X10 General] coolsid8:
Well done SE ..

Awesome ROM ..

No lags after 1-2 hours of flashing it..

Super Smooth..

Super Fast..

Awesome Camera !!

Yay !!!
[XPERIA X10 General] 0000alex0000:
the music playback is making me an unhappy little boy right now..

and the ugly ass timescape..

other than those i feel good with this update

currently waiting for root (not preroot) that's all
[XPERIA X10 General] viulian:
Advantages:

a) apparently better battery (it would drain faster before GB).

b) I'm running Wolf's bare metal hotfix 3 with FPS uncap - and is definitively smoother than stock 2.3 and previous 2.1

c) was able to root quickly after the official update went out, thanks to the devs!

d) I can use hacker's keyboard!

e) Skype mic works!

Disadvantages:

a) music player stuttering (playerpro or built in player, its not dependent on the player). When doing some CPU intensive tasks or when CPU reduces speed after screen is off, the music hicks up for a bit. Not that annoying but is there. With stock 2.3 it was very obvious, now very rarely with Wolf's ROM.

b) home button is a bit lazy (meaning that on 2.1 the screen turned on faster when pressing home button, now its a bit more slow).

c) WiFi 2.1 still not fixed (takes ages to connect to a hidden SSID up to the point where I made the wifi sleep policy to be always on to avoid frustrations). No big impact on battery life though.

But since X10 mini connects in 10-15 seconds to the wifi, I believe its a big bug in X10 since it's the same setup I connect both.

d) Camera still slow for my tastes (compared to N8 at least) and they did not fix the auto-flash, you still need to fiddle in the menus to turn it on.

Other than this - the phone is old now but just became decent - fast enough and with better battery thus I will keep it a bit more.

I was tempted to switch to Samsung/HTC and avoid Sony for a while as I don't want to risk again to wait 1 year for an update (actually Sony should beg for my money, not I should beg Sony for an update once I payed). So probably I will go to HTC, seems they were always taking care of their customers.
[XPERIA X10 General] iCyDe:
Yep, the music player interrupts music for half a second when going to lockscreen or something...Cant this be fixed by making the priority of the music player higher? :P

Stock ROM was lagg in menu, but Wolfbreaks custom ROM with tweaks is Smooth :)

[XPERIA X10 General] Willey1986:
Soundlags and overheating (45 degrees) when listening to music. X10 is unusable for me after update because listening to music is the main reason why I switched from my mobilephone/iPod combination so a smartphone.
[XPERIA X10 General] KeizBaby:
Let Gingerbread build caches for a few days and you will definitely feel the diffrence! It's now much smoother then when I flashed the ROM. I also got alot of apps installed.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
The music app's a bit dissapointing...it looks great but the equilizer are just presets and aren't configurable, and there are lag spikes when unlocking, and there is no way to repeat your playlist and shuffling is retarded.

That said the sound quality is excellent, much better than 2.1, so it's not terrible but could be better.
[XPERIA X10 General] hemo1001:

Here is Browser.apk that has the Gingerbread style icon. I found this inside of a Gingerbread theme by ZDuneX25. I haven't tested this theme on Utopia, also, his XML link is down. But fishears' xml should work ok. Also includes black theme for context menus. Maybe worth a look. As with any system APK, backup the original Browser.apk from system/app, copy over the new one and set rw-r--r-- permissions.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mojorisin7178:
Sorry for the noob question I try not to post here and bother you guys but I keep asking and getting different and not definitive answers. So I did the LG update and I have 2.3.3, The kernel is 2.6.32.9, Baseband July 15. So from reading in this forum I gather that the baseband is different but the kernel remained the same with the LG tool. Now the OTA changed the baseman and the kernel along with the gingerbread. Is that correct and what is the difference between kernels. I also heard that the stock camera shoots is 720P not the 1080p with the LG update. Then someone said that the OTA update shoots in 1080p. Is that true?

I have to say I really like the gingerbread features like the way it looks and the way it edits text with the bars (I know you can buy the keyboard in the market) but I don't see the difference in Battery, Speed or stability. The reason for that is my phone has been running like a champ since day one. So it was hard to get much better.

So if I use the link in this forum to go back to stock froyo can I then do the ota so I can get the new kernel or is there a way to get the new kernel without having to do that? Again I am sorry for posting here but you guys know the most so I just want the best info.

Seeing as your new here, a little help for you.

This section of the boards you posted in is the "development" section. All posts regarding developing go here, nothing else. Each phone that XDA supports has a development, question and answers, theme, general, and an accessories section. You can find the main G2X section HERE. This post belongs in the Q&A section, not development as it has nothing to do with the latter.

Thing that gets people pissy here is people asking the same questions over and over, or posting non development related posts in this section. Normally, if its a ? it doesnt belong here.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rafarataneneces:
Short question, I am going to buy a tablet tomorrow, I like the idea of having 48GB with an Asus, since I can buy a 32GB microSD card

However, I like the idea of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 since it is SUPER light (I tested it on Verizon today)

however, the Asus Eee Pad transformer weights about the same as an original iPad, so it wouldn't be too bad

I want to use it for

1) GPS

2) Videos

3) eBooks

4) Android in general

There is a $200 difference between an expandable Asus Eee Pad Transformer and a non-expandable 32GB Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (I have to buy a 32GB model since it's not expandable)

Thanks in advance for your recommendations, is the $200 difference really worth it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jemarti:
They are both excellent tablets. It really comes down to what you intend to do with it. It looks like you'll mostly be using your tablet to consume content versus creating content. If that's the case, then the Galaxy might have a slight advantage due it's weight.

I went with the Transfomer because I wanted to see how far I could push a tablet as a productivity tool. Because of the dock, the Transformer is much better at content creation.

As far as the weight goes, the 4oz difference between a Galaxy and a Transformer just isn’t that big a difference... at least not to me.

Another factor in my decision was how aggressive Asus has been in updating the Transformer. They are doing a very good job at releasing updates in a timely fashion.
