[Atrix 4G General] Fountainhead931:
I have an Apple device for playing music in the car. My Jensen stereo controls it perfectly, and my Atrix is BT paired to the Jensen in case I get a call. Steering wheel controls via a Pacific Audio SWC adapter, it all works really well. I just leave the Apple device in the car and update music when I need to and return to car.

I really like my Atrix, it's my first Android device. Like everybody else on these forums I've had them all and I like Apple devices for their great connectivity and the Android for the "jailbreakless" modability. Also rooted and ROM'd a few times but got behind on keeping up with all the versions so went back to stock.

Very satisfied. Do wish it was same size as Infuse though. sigh, grass is always greener.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
I. Am happy that in '07 my stock radio came with an auxiliary jack. I. Am more than happy with controlling my music from my lockscreen and pairing my plantronics discovery 925 in case I get a call. I. Am happy that my stock radio and aftermarket speakers sound better than most upgraded head units and speakers because I spent $480 on diy soundproofing my cabin. I don't need no stinkin' iphone. I. Got a lapdock and nexus one for roadtrip entertainment for passengers. I like it like that.

I voided my warranty.

And I won't flame you either. I'm enjoying flashing ROMs, it's different and I learn more. I thought about getting the nexus S now that att has it but I might buy a thrill to try out. I get a 60% discount off all the devices (except the apple equipment)
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
Apparently, the Atrix fails in the areas I specified. :(

No one gave any solutions.
[Atrix 4G General] Note_E:
Are you sure it's not you who fails?

The areas you specified are truly non issue. You don't like the rounded edges? Go buy an iphone.
[Atrix 4G General] LivingChampion:
Best phone I've ever owned, but I'm not saying its flawless.

My main issues are that page swapping in the main screen is not as fluid as my dad's iPhone 4 or my sister's captivate. I'm not saying its slow, but it is just not as fluid and you can tell right off the bat if you have these phones next to eachother. Hopefully CM7 will give us a perfect phone when that's fully released. The only other issue that I've seen around is that if you leave your finger on a button for awhile then the device will stop responding to it. Happens a lot in games where you have to hold your finger still. I haven't ran into it much, it's because I don't play many of those types of games.

Otherwise, it's a great phone and I can't think of another phone that has what the Atrix brings to the table today.

Here are my favorite things about the phone:

-Great Battery Life

-Perfect screen size (Opinion)

-Webtop with the hack which requires no additional $ spent

-Fingerprint Scanner (Can't go back to unlocking via pin codes, after you get used to it and get it unlocked in one swipe)

-Runs most emulators flawlessly. (Love RPGs on a phone, that's just perfect)

-Tegra 2 <3

The hardware is amazing, but the software holds it back from being perfect.
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
The title of this thread says "Honest Opinion of the Atrix". Post your opinion then get personal attacks from fanboys because they don't have an intelligent response. Way to go XDA :confused:

Thanks to those who gave pertinent responses and suggestions.
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
yeah thanks guys blve ima try one out soon :)
[Atrix 4G General] cbeck:
Clearly we have different phones. I can get 3-4 hours of constant internet use, about 12 hours of what I consider moderate use. Fwiw, this is about the same or slightly worse than what is available from the iphone 3G, and a bit better than the htc tilt2 when I am using them.
[Atrix 4G General] lilhaiti:
Been reading the comments in this thread...a lot of flaming and a lot of good points. A couple of things that come to mind after reading the last few pages.

1. I don't think Android was build for any phone but maybe the Nexus phones. That being said it does feel like Motorola "ported" the stock ROM to this phone from something else, instead of developing it for the Atrix. There are certain things that just don't work right even stock. Not complaining because I love my Atrix. The beauty of the community is that you are not stuck with what comes in the box.

2. It would be nice if the Android OEM's could get together and come up with an interface standard that works across the whole (or most of) Android line. If that were the case we would probably see AndroClocks or AndroRadios for cars and the house. I would like to be able to control my phone with my car's stereo or just "dock" my phone without having to connect a wire. I know there are work-a-rounds...but it would be nice to have it just work. No I don't want an iPhone, I just want what the iPhone has.

Even with that...this is one of the best phones on the market!!! Most of the issues people are having are not unique to the Atrix and the phones the are "better" than the Atrix are either way newer or way more expensive.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
the iphone4 supposedly gets great battery life. about 10 hours. that is more than moderate use, but less than heavy use, and definitely not heavy duty games in either of those mixes. but definitely more for light users. many iphone users can get 2 days with light use. that can be mostly attributed to hardware acceleration picking up the slack, and i'm sure apple has some other optimizations seeing as they only have one piece of hardware per year. and that is why android's fragmentation hurts android when it comes to battery life. many hardware configs, lack of manufacturer support/optimization, and so far lack of hw acceleration support in google development kits. and devs won't, and understandably won't take on the task of reverse engineering to get hw acceleration in a certain phone. too much time would be involved and their would need to some help/documentation/support on the gpu side of things. i would hope that most people are hoping google adds a solution for hw acceleration in ICS. it's long overdue. it needs to be there. battery life is definitely a negative mostly for android and a lot of phones. if it doesn't come, i really don't know what/where/why android is headed. hw acceleration is a must do upgrade at this point in the game. tablet/phone software is supposedly supposed to be converged with ICS and there is only so much gpu's out there so the kernels/builds might be bloated to have it in there.
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
On all of my android dev i have always found a way to get good battery life so thats not an issue at all for me. My iphone does get about two days with heavy txt and a few phone calls but i dont seem to play with my iphone as much as i did all the androids. I picked the iphone 4 up bc i cldnt pass on the deal i got, now rdy for some android again :)
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
picked up an atrix for my mom today she loves it guess ima snatch one up too :)
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
ok i am now a very proud member of the atrix community love it so far now time for some hacking!!!! :D my mom will keep hers stock but she thinks the phone is the best thing on earth :)
[Atrix 4G General] jettrue:
I've gone from Nexus One (which honestly I loved), to the HTC Sensation, to the Motorola Atrix.

As far as build Quality, I love my Nexus One; best build hands down. The feel, the metal, the sexy, the solid, the lines, the flashing trackball. I'd totally be all over it if it were a man. :D To be honest I only switched to the Sensation for the dual core and for something new, because I have a short attention span. :) I enjoy the Sensation but it was always a little too big for me as a girl with small hands. I don't particularly care for Sense, so I rooted it and removed Sense, but still a bit laggier than I would have expected.

Now, with the Atrix, DAMN, this thing flies. You click, it responds. I love the secure finger print unlock, and my kids swear it's from the future. I am glad to be back to a smaller sized phone. The screen is awesome but I currently have it protected with a case mate anti glare/fingerprint protector and the screen clarity has gone down... just waiting on my SGP protector in the mail. Also, I will be ecstatic when/if MIUI comes to Atrix, it has been my favorite ROM of all time.

As far as build quality, it's solid, it's light, although I'm not very happy with the back cover, putting it on requires you to squeeze it multiple times to be sure it is on all the way, and pulling it off feels like I'm streeeetching it and stressing it to get it off. The removal of the back cover of the HTC Sensation was one of my favorite features... there's a button you depress to release the back cover. On the atrix, there seems to be no method to the madness, just start prying wherever you can and hope for the best.

I'm new to AT&T, I'm giving them their 30 day trial period and trying not to let my anti AT&T prejudice sway me, and so far, I'm mostly satisfied, except I get better T-mobile reception at home and at work, and my two experiences with AT&T customer support have been friendly, but SNAIL MF'ING SLOW. Are these people running computers on dial up and 32meg of RAM? It seems like one setting change requires 20 minutes of your time. GOOD GRACIOUS. I wanted to change my primary line, and it took 20 minutes for the dude to complete the change!!!! I had a couple other changes, and it took an hour! I've never been on the phone that long with T-mobile. :cool::rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Welcome to atnt. Most of only us use atnt for the speed, if the reception is good in our area and here it comes... wait for it.. GSM phones. Unlocked ones preferably, but the atrix is an exception. Always try to avoid calling atnt if you can. Their customer service is terrible. Their cell service is hit or miss. Luckily for me its good, and it got a lot better recently with 5Mb dl. Speeds.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
Yes the back cover is the only thing that bothers me about the atrix
[Atrix 4G General] k0sun7eash3d:
Eh, as far as back cover's go, I've felt worse. I really like the cover on the Captivate though. The slide to release and aluminum cover really felt like the most unbreakable back cover I'd ever played with. Welcome to the Atrix club though. I just picked up a Thrill, and while I do like it, I can definitely say that the Atrix is still going to be my daily driver.
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
THANKS FOR THE WELCOME :) THE CAPTIVATE BATT COVER IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST IF THE ATRIX COVER WAS LIKE IT JEEEEZ THAT WLD BE AWESOME. ANYWAY LET ME KNOW ABOUT THE THRILL I MAY HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT I PLAYED WITH AN EVO 3D AND JUST DONT GET THE 3D MAYBE IM JUST CRAZY :eek:
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
My only complaints (once custom ROM goes in of course) are

- random reboots very occasionally, I'm 99% certain its when 3G data is choking (ie there is reception but no IP data available) and some app goes crazy. When its happened its always in situations where I've noticed the data speed is very poor or nonexistent, regardless of signal strength

- broken SIP. What the ---- is with that. moto's audio stack must be stuffed because there is not a single SIP app that works properly (and they all worked on n1, same settings, same carriers/SIP providers/LANs etc.)

- broken BT stack or BT/audio stack routing, e.g. when you're listening to BT music and you get a text, the notification tone still comes out speaker, whereas the BT just cuts to silence.

I'm praying CM7 or any ROM not based off stock moto will fix this
[Atrix 4G General] TadMSTR:
I had just missed the free deal at Best Buy by a week. Though was able to get it for only $50 when it's regularly $100. I was previously using an HTC Aria. Before that a Nexus One, which became unstable. While I was hesitant to get a larger phone, the Aria was very pocket-able, the specs more than made up for that. Don't think there are any options under 4" anyway. I had decided on the Atrix from using geekaphone. Was very helpful in finding the best phone for my needs.

Pros

-size, not too large, still pocket-able

-dual-core Tegra2 with 1GB of ram

-high resolution screen

-lots of storage space

-car dock specifically designed for it

-large capacity battery

-hacker friendly, CyanogenMod coming

-finger print reader

Cons

-MotoBlur

-Bloat, easily fixable with root and Titanium Backup or flashing a ROM

-battery readout only displays in increments of 10, custom ROM fixes that

-does seem to get a bit warmer more often than my Aria did, not a bid deal though

I've noticed that too. I always try to replicate it by turning on hotspot, maps for gps, streaming music on phone and on connected device ... and the ATRIX handled it beautifully ....

It might be something on atts end that the ATRIX doesn't like ...

I've had the Galaxy S,Nexus One, Optimus Black,iPhone 4(super garbage!)and now my Atrix. In my opinion its a great phone and the new moto ui looks great too. Performance wise you can't beat it. With ADW EX it scrolls just as smooth as the iTrash. Also it's size is perfect. Wish it had a Vanilla Gingerbread ROM on it tho. Hate the blue colors.

Motorola Atrix 4G
[Atrix 4G General] karnovaran:
I've had an Ion, Nexus One, Droid 2, Incredible, Sensation, and now the Atrix. This is easily the best and I'm not going to keep looking for something new. I had always wanted the Atrix but the locked bootloader was a dealbreaker. This thing flies, it's the perfect size, the speaker is glorious, the fingerprint scanner is awesome, huge internal storage, accessories galore, battery life is better than any other Android I've had, Tegra2 gaming rocks, screen is bright, no deathgrip... I could go on all day.

[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
Hi all:

I've been on the Captivate since moving over to AT&T earlier this year.I've been running OC'd on the Mosaic Rom just fine..but now have the option of getting any phone in my AT&T store in the next 2 weeks since we are going to try their all in 1 bundle of land line..cell phones..internet..and u-verse...and it's going to save me a extra $10 a month if I get a new phone...so...I have a few concerns...

The saleman at my store is really pushing the new LG 3-D phone..and it looks nice..butttttttttt...I just ain't sold on it as compared to the Atrix. So..I have a few simple questions ...

1) Would you all switch to a different phone in their line up right now if free..or keep this one...simple as that..I think I already know the answer...but I am a audio/video nut who actually likes to listen to music and watch movies more than anything else..besides showing folks how fast my phone is...

2) With this yellow color bug I have seen mentioned...is it really bad...? Does it make good quaility movies look all yellow or something ? Can anyone post a nice screen shot of it or post a link to where it has been posted ?

3) Picture quality on the camera...does any of the new roms improve the quality of pictures like they do on the Captivate ?

4) Over Clocking...How stable are these phones...I have OC'd stable up to 1.4 on my Captivate..can thse do as well...and if so..how do they fair in the bench marks on though put..?

I really want to upgrade...and hardware wise this looks to be my best choice..but...I would rather get all of your opinions on this before upgrading..please help

Thanks

[Atrix 4G General] cmay227:
love it!!! traded my iphone 4 for it and have never been happier. had it since march. but i guess it's also a preference thing.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
it's really a damn good phone. but it's also a damn shame motorola screwed us early on so development is kind of scarce for it this late in it's lifetime. you might want to check out the galaxy s2 that will come out on atnt soon. it is a nice phone to compare to, and they both have their one ups on each other. i personally would recommend the atrix over the gs2 on battery life alone, but if battery life isn't that big a deal to you, then gs2 is definitely worth a look.
[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
Thanks

Battery life is important to me...as well as everything else like GPS..picture quality..sound..both in call volume and media..

I have looked at the sgII and to be honest..if you think moto has screwed you over...ask on the captivate forum about Sammy...They are one of the main reasons of jumping into a MOTO phone..

All in all..with more and more developement happening on the Atrix...I am almost convinced to go get one..

I do wonder about upgrading the Atrix..and what all is done to make it even better..which is why I ask here about it..Perhaps I should pose that question on the Q&A forum instead ?

Thanks Again for the info folks

[Atrix 4G General] karnovaran:
Development is actually quite good on the Atrix considering its late start. That's a testament to the hardware keeping people around long enough. It's easily the most active Moto on xda.

As for the yellow tint, haven't noticed it here. It may be that newer devices have an improved screen. Often times those issues affect early builds only.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
gps is great on atrix. you'll rarely see a complaint. this is best camera i've had on a phone, and the general consensus it's a middle of the road camera. gs2 definitely has better camera. sound is great in call and out going. this is by far the best phone with a mono speaker. bar none. you'll be surprised at it's loudness, and it even has a little bass. nothing to get excited about, but how many phones have a little bass? atrix and gs2 are plastic. i actually prefer the thickness of the atrix. i can't carry a phone as thin as the gs2 at my work. if i had a less demanding job then the size would also come into consideration and the atrix is perfect. some people hate the battery cover on the atrix. i actually like it for some reason. also, it being plastic it should ideally get better reception than a metal cased phone and the atrix is awesome with reception. matches nokia. anyways there is development for the atrix. cyan7 is the big one we're waiting for. also hdmi mirroring. webtop is cool. i have a lapdock. it's cool for what it is. don't regret the $200 at all. bluetooth is great. wifi is freaking awesome. probably the best phone i've had for wifi. and here's a little bonus if you like battery life. read this thread. it's early, but we're hoping some devs pick up on it and help us because we don't know code or apps or wahtever, but like to tinker with gadgets.

[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
i don't have yellow tint issues. my whites are white like bleached cotton. i never noticed the yellow color is weak until i came across it on xda. it is a little weak, but damn it's a 4 inch screen, not the centerpiece of home theater in my living room. some people whine about the pentile display, but the higher resolution makes up for it. it is bothersome at 8x480. but yeah, hopefully development keeps picking up and moto makes a strong showing with an ice cream sandwich update and more people help out. i think the atrix is underrated. i had low expectations actually and it is best phone i've ever owned.
[Atrix 4G General] eXecuter.bin:
In my opinion, the Atrix is a horrible phone.

The plasticy design feels really cheap and fragile in your hands, and the physical look isn't too good.

The way which the digitizer is mounted is also very flawed. Because the edges are not well sealed, dust can easily get under it. Because of so, my front side camera is completely unusable as there's a thick layer of dust built under it already.

The phone hardware is good, comes with Tegra 2 and 1GB of RAM. However, the software seems incredibly unoptimized, as it often locks up and runs quite sluggish comparing to other phones with lower specs, such as the Droid 3.

The touchscreen is what I hated about the phone the most. Lots of Atrix were shipped with defective digitizers, which would fail shortly. After using it for three month, a horizontal strip of dead spots appears on the upper part of the screen. A week later, TWO MORE horizontal dead strips appeared, as well as a new verticle dead spot developed in the center of the screen. I cannot even open up the app drawer because of so. I took care of my electronics very well, had a screen protector on and everything. It is not a user error, as many other people has reported the same problem.

I would stay far away from the Atrix, and buy a phone such as the Droid BIONIC (once it comes out)
[Atrix 4G General] karnovaran:
Very underrated and easily the best I've ever owned too. With prior phones I overlooked their faults to convince myself they were great. With the Atrix, literally the only fault I can find is the slick battery door but it's not that bad at all.
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
yeah the battery door is pretty slick. nothing a tpu case can't handle though. and adds just right amount of bulk for landscape handling. there are faults, but blame falls on motorola software engineers for those. moto is somewhat making up for it unlocking bootloader though. i'm sure atnt had something to do with software and bootloader though.
[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
Well...all of this is good info...and I am liking what I am hearing more and more..I do understand about early builds and the issues some have..that is normal..but getting things upgraded as quick as what Moto does...is a major draw for me..

I guess I'll keep reading about them here..and ask 2 more questions if you all don't mind..A general question for now..

What rom offers the best camera..best movie play back..best music play back..best radio (mid-west area)all in 1...or is it going to be like my Captivate where we need to mix & match modems and apks to get it running optimally..even with a custom rom ?

Last question for now..will all themes run on all roms (cm-7 as the exception? )

Thanks All

Mac
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
i don't think what you're asking is rom specific. you probably had devs that built in features/players/apps/codecs or whatever into roms before. i think the cameras are all the same. there are camera apps in the market. the camera is ok. nothing to write home about but it's not bad. i don't know much about movie playback on phones. youtube and realplayer usually do the trick for me. i use power amp for music playback. the atrix has pretty good sound and speakers. nothing spectacular though. radio for atnt .15 and .30 are i think atnt specific. i don't know if there is much a difference. i tried flashing .30 3 times but i still have .15. i've never had problems with speed or reception so i let it be. btw, atrix gets excellent reception phone and data wise. i don't know the answer to your last question. i don't use themes. i keep it plain and simple.
