[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
I'm rockin both an Atrix and a SGS.

Very long story short, I take the SGS for the screen, and the Atrix for the memory and processor.

Battery and GPS are the same on both since I am using the Armani 1650Mah on the SGS (same form factor as stock).

Overall the Atrix is a very solid phone, and if you are on the fence check out the Atrix on display at your local AT&T store...
[Atrix 4G General] TheBassman369:
Hey, I remember you from the Cappy section. You helped me when I was having a lot of issues with my phone. Lol

To answer your question: I have mainly stuck with navalynt's ROMs since I got my Atrix and the camera has been better than stock. Movie playback has been okay, although I only watch videos occasionally.

Music wise, I installed the MIUI music player and everything is fine now. The stock Blur music app is horrible, in my opinion.

The latest AT&T radio is working awesome. No mixing and matching is necessary, but I do add a few extras to every ROM I flash, just for the fun of it. For me, every ROM runs equally as awesome as the other. It's not hit and miss like the Captivate ROMs.

Usually the themers put which base their themes are compatible with in the title or theme description, and since almost every ROM over here has the same base, just about any theme will work with any ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] t140568:
I've had the Atrix for a few months now and I love it. However, I must disclose that I came from a G1/Dream, so just about anything would seem screaming-fast, super-awesome, and uber-cool to me.

Pros:

It runs FAST and smooth.

With the unlocked bootloader and hardware specs it has long-term potential. (I don't like to upgrade every other month. I'm a "ride this thing 'til the wheels fall off" kind of guy.)

Size is just right.

qHD really is wonderful.

Webtop - It's absolutely incredible once you get apt-get working and install things like GIMP, Bluefish, and Filezilla.

Cons:

Slippery little bugger it is. Seems I've dropped this thing more times than every phone I've ever had combined.

It gets a little warm at times

The lapdock lacks a decent scrolling method

In-betweens:

Cameras - They exist on the phone and they take pictures, but are certainly nothing stellar.

Motoblur & accompanying bloatware - Though, easily remedied by Unlocking, Rooting, and Rom-ing. As well as installing the launcher of your choice (ADW EX for me).

Unless you're just blown away by some newly released phone, I highly recommend to get the Atrix. I haven't had the slightest regret in purchasing mine.

Good luck in your search.
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
I sold my atrix to my friend for his first smartphone and everytime he shows me some new feature it reminds me of me first discovering Android and how fun it was to nerd out. Things I miss about it are the speaker phone and GPS speed... My sgs2 doesn't compare on those fields.
[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
Yup...dat were me alright...lol...lol

Nice to know the 1 I am really interested in is a step up in a lot of ways from the Cappy...I can't complain a-lot since loading 2.3 and running Mosaic..it's a super nice rom..but..it still has issues that won't go away..you know what I mean..;)

I'm glad the speaker phone works great on these..it is one of those things I hate about mine..and the in-call volume is so bad at times too...drives me up a wall..Also..as well you remeber about the GPS..it isn't top notch..and I am looking forward to having one from the get go work like it should..

So...all of the themes are crossed roms on this one...that makes it even all the better in my book..Guess I should start looking at different roms and themes now..and count down the days till I get one..

I say some guys doing different partitions on their sd cards...any idea what's up with that ?

[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
I agree that aeastetics don't look premimum with the atrix but the build quality is nowhere bad to feel that its made of cheap stuff. The frame of the phone is made of metals. I don't get you, Atrix has never had bad digitizer problems with any of the batches they produced. That little gap actually helps to keep the dust away. Yeah, the dust collects in that tiny gap but it doesn't go inside unless your digitizer were replaced by someone who didn't seal it well. At least, this is how it is with most of us. Maybe you got a bad product, better get it replaced, man!

Use a tiny brush to clean the dust anytime you want. It will look like new again.
[Atrix 4G General] dragon_76:
I feel the same way. It should have been coated metal or a harder plastic, otherwise I love the build quality.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
I don't feel the Atrix 'cheap' at all. But if you want to modify the feel of the materials, just install a Bestskinsever.com skin and you will love it more. Or spray a few coats of PlastiDip paint and you will not regret it (you can choose from a variety of colors). The good thing about these two protectors is that both can come off without leaving residue. Just peel it off.

Will post a few pics of both when I get home.

Cheers!

[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Its cheap compared to the OG Droid/Milestone. There was a Moto phone built like a tank.

If the Nirth American Milestone sequel had 1gb of ram and 480x800 Res (I HATE Qhd!) I would have dropped the Atrix in a heartbeat for it...
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Well, I've never had the OG Droid or the Milestone, but I've used several others like the SGS, SGS2, Dext, Nexus One, to name a few, and the Atrix is by far the best I've seen in construction design.

I've never seen another device (except the iPhone) that has an internal metal reinforcement frame and also I've never seen a clever design where the battery cover would protect the corners of the device (which as we all know, are the first parts that get damage), so worst case, you just replace the battery cover and you are done (cnn.cn).

Anyhoo, here's the screenshots I promised yesterday:

PlastiDip spray ($5 bucks at HomeDepot)

Make sure you remove the speaker mesh and cover the tiny mic hole with a toothpick

After a couple of PlastiDip coats. Feels very rubbery.

Here's the one with BestSkinsEver skin. ($8 bucks at Bestskinsever.com)
[Atrix 4G General] rockbio:
coming from g1, moto backflip, samsung captivate....atrix was the best phone ever...especially the car dock made my life....
[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
Well...I am part of the family now...Just picked up my new Atrix...and enjoying it already..

Thanks Guys...

[Atrix 4G General] jeremyshaw:
Used to own aria. Despite its decent pace of sw development, it was always a bit too small... after having an inspire, I decided on the ATRIX.
[Atrix 4G General] Deaf Mute:
I love my Atrix. I upgraded to it from an iPhone 3G. I will have to say the feel of the device is different after upgrading to Gingerbread.

Given a choice and depending of the Bionic was out back in April (when I upgraded) I would have most likely switched to Verizon.

Right now the only thing I don't like about the atrix is that I can't seem to get Starfront, though that's not a big enough deal for me to go and find a pirated copy.
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
welcome im new to the atrix too and love it so far was kinda sad when i saw the sgs2 for att on there site but oh well it dosent have a laptop dock :p and i will have 2 more upgrades at the first of the year so its all good :D
[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
I wouldn't sweat it too much...by the time Samsung gets around to offering any updates..we will already be 2 or 3 ahead of them..;)

Mac
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
so true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
Why is that? Google hasn't acquired Moto yet and samsung has acquired Steve kondik. And I guess you're comparing carrier phones against themselves.

Iphone > galaxy s 2.
[Atrix 4G General] jettrue:
I have to disagree, and say in my opinion the nexus one is the most solid and most sexy and most high end looking phone I've ever owned. :)

And the HTC Sensation has the same back cover that protects the corners of the device, and in fact it's better implemented as there is a button to release the back on the bottom of the device. With the atrix, you just pry wherever you can and hope for the best.

I'm not saying that I feel the Atrix is a "cheap" looking phone, but IMO it's very generic and doesn't look like a high end phone. I'm also not a fan of the plasticiness of the back cover, but I may try your plasti dip method.
[Atrix 4G General] fleurdelisxliv:
im not sure how long it took moto and att to go from froyo to ginger but i do know that the cappy took forever to get away from 2.1 just sayin
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Froyo was a HUGE update that was also a real PITA for many phones to "update" from Eclair. (Mainly because of JIT and other hardware issues)

IMO Froyo is a solid firmware for original stock firmware phones, but I had 3 different phones where I went from 2.1 to 2.2 and all had all of them had issues afterwards...
[Atrix 4G General] pukemon:
I know what you're saying. I just wouldn't count the chickens before they hatch. I still lean towards samsung taking their sweet ole time, if even that, but they seem to have something out for apple so things might improve. This Moto/google thing is still a crapshoot.

Iphone > galaxy s 2.
[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
I've talked several times to the Galaxy staff at Samsung...and I'm not the least bit impressed with them..or how they treat folks.Many of them there won't give you a honest answer about the phones..and I will bet good money the new one will have the same issues as the old one...Their QC sucks..Their upgrade time line sucks..and they always play the blame game...when ever a issue shows up for any of their known problems...NO THANK YOU...

Now..Moto probably has their own issues..and track record...and I am certain many will have problems..but... I went through hell doing the exchanges with the Captivate with AT&T and Samsung...and sure as heck won't be suckered by them again.. on false promises...

Will Google/Moto be better...time will tell...but..how many updates has this phone gotten since it was released...as compared to the Captivate..

Mac
[Atrix 4G General] spiritcrusher33:
I have never trusted samsung. And prolly never will..to many problems with hardware. From way back when having a color screen was the in thing. Been nothing but htc since the ppc6700 on sprint. The ATRIX is my first moto. And have to say coming from the inspire the ATRIX blows me away in every respect.. 11hours of up time and battery was at 60%. The inspire would have been dead along time before that. All we need is a fully functional cm7 and miui to complete the package for me..

Sent from my dual core beast..ATRIX
[Atrix 4G General] Mac11700:
Yup...but since we will be getting Ice Creme next month according to Googles CEO ...I think I am going to wait and see how that works..then trick mine out...

[Atrix 4G General] pauleckstein:
one question. i am an atrix owner from germany and really satisfied with this smartphone. just noticed a slightly bigger gap between the metal frame and gorilla glas cover in the area of usb and hdmi connector.

can somebody confirm this?
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Strange... I see no gap on mine. All around is flushed and neat.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
Might be a disassembled/refurbished unit. if atrix isn't assembled with care, the gap becomes bigger.
[Acer Iconia A500] barchamb:
Installed Virtuous Picasso - everything seems to be working great. However, I noticed that Cell Standby was taking up a huge amount of battery, and after a little research I found on here that I needed to edit build.prop and add ro.carrier=wifi-only. So, I did that, then I rebooted into recovery and wiped battery stats and rebooted again. Now my battery stats are reset, and the build.prop file has that line in it, but I still have Cell Standby process that's taking up a lot of battery. What did I do wrong, or what did I miss?

I posted this in the Virtuous Picasso forum, but got no answer, so I'm posting here. Do I need a different ROM or a different kernel to get rid of the Cell Standby problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
Works great in taboonay 1.1 with thor kernel 1.14 tegraowners.com virtuous roms arent really maintained anymore, for all kinds of reasons, but taboonay is still maintained, and thor is constantly coming up with great kernels at tegraowners.com
[Acer Iconia A500] mutokenji:
AFAIK "ro.carrier = wifi-only" is not working for all ROM. only certain ROM work with that.. i use thor thrive 1.1 and it's work perfectly. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] barchamb:
Thanks. I just flashed Taboonay, and I no longer see the cell service taking up battery. We'll see how much this helps my battery last. Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Did you try airplane mode.?
[Acer Iconia A500] barchamb:
Not with Virtuous Picasso. I tried with Virtuous Galaxy and it didn't work. Turned on Airplane mode and then turned on WiFi and still had the cell service issue.

Once I switched to Taboonay, I haven't had the issue...
[Acer Iconia A500] barchamb:
One last note on this:

Switching to Taboonay fixed this for me, as that ROM must have the fix turned on by default. However, I found that I wanted to overclock my tab, and the default kernel that comes with Taboonay doesn't support that. So, I flashed a different kernel, and that allowed me to overclock, but then the cell service process showed up again and started eating battery.

At that point, adding ro.carrier=wifi-only to the build.prop file fixed the problem. So, the ro.carrier setting only works if your kernel supports it apparently...
[TouchPad General] SpyFi:
So yea I am late to the game and for the $$ I would love one. Any hot links where they are still shipping?

Thanks! Ill post if I find one.

Ordered one from Erwin Comp. Make sure you guys use Google Checkout just in case. They seem fairly reputable from what I read on reviews online. Let's hope they don't cancel my order like B&N did. I'm only buying just one, not in it for the resales.

For 100 bucks...or even 149, these make nice coffee table tablets for the net, music and browsing. I don't need 100K apps...but for 100 bucks, IMO, these are a better offering than the bottom of the line, 1.6 or 2.2 android cheapo tablets.

[TouchPad General] liquidice007:
RapidBuyr.com has been around for awhile and when I did a few "scam site" searches on them nothing popped up. I wouldn't be surprised if anytime someone clicks the "buy" button it takes one out of inventory but if they do not finish the checkout it puts it back into inventory, hence the wavering number of units available. Could be wrong, but if you look at the other product deals they have, none of them are in the "too good to be true" category. We shall see however....
