[Atrix 4G General] lilhyper:
I think this is a good buy. The Atrix is in a peculiar situation right now. It is not the best phone on the market and with Galaxy Nexus coming out, it'll be inferior and it may not get stock Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it is easily one of the best phones out, and it's specs are comparable with that of Galaxy SII. It also has a fingerprint scanner (which is so amazingly convenient and works wonders) and the webtop hack is pretty useful.

Most importantly, it is cheap and future proof. You cannot buy ANYTHING comparable for under 400 dollars. With its specs you'll be able to use it and be happy with it easily for 1-2 years. With the great developer support, hopefully we'll be able to flash ICS based rom. This is a great phone to have and its under-appreciated by the general market.

Buy it. Root it. Unlock it. Flash Aura or CM7 with Faux kernel and you won't be disappointed. Then just go ahead and upgrade in 1-2 years when your cellular contract is up for extension.
[Atrix 4G General] xhazk:
Agree with lilhyper.

I went through a torrent of phones before at&t decided to early upgrade me, and it hasn't disappointed me.

While technically inferior, consider the fact that technology becomes inferior literally overnight. What matters is if it can handle your demands. It handles mine, and I brutalize hardware.

200 is a steal unless you have an upgrade soon, then wait for that and get a newer phone.
[Atrix 4G General] kojitabe:
Hi all,need suggestion about to buy this phone.

But compare to O2x,which one is the best? Though i like to play games,and some say that atrix doesn't support more than two point of multitouch and has poor frame rate.

Please advise.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] xxlikquidxx:
i can upgrade with AT&T with a free HTC Inspire. Is that better or worst compare to this Atrix 4G?
[Atrix 4G General] Plasmamuffins:
I bought mine for $180 from some chick who had just gotten the 4s :P
[Atrix 4G General] lilhyper:
For starters, do your own research.

Atrix is a better phone imho because it's a dual core phone with more memory, a front facing camera, higher screen resolution, and bigger battery.

Inspire is bigger with 4.3" screen instead of the Atrix's 4". However, it comes in at a lower resolution, is a single core phone, and the battery life is worse.
[Atrix 4G General] Andy_Thatcher:
We had 2 Atrix's and the wife recently moved to the Inspire.

I had used it previously.

She wants to swap back.

The Inspire is a good solid phone. If you like a larger screen it was a great choice. The Atrix 2 would be an alternative now.

Personally I am sticking with the Atrix, does everything I need. For me 4 inch screens are about the sweet spot with phones . I have a tablet for browsing and a laptop for work so prefer this form factor.
[Atrix 4G General] xxlikquidxx:
thanks guys for the help. The Atrix is $30 upgrade from AT&T so i think i'll get that.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
$200... heck $300 is still a great buy for this phone!...
[Atrix 4G General] kojitabe:
Wow,that is so cheap. :eek:

In my country it's about $400 for the used and unlocked phone.

Wish i can get as cheap as yours here :D
[Atrix 4G General] xxlikquidxx:
nevermind, they want me to downgrade to a limited data plan because my current unlimited 4G plan has expired. F that!! Guess i will go back to searching for a used Atrix. anyone got one for sale :D
[Atrix 4G General] XAviierG:
I got mines for $40 :) traded my inspire + the $40
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
$300 is a good going rate. If you can find it cheaper, more power to ya... :)
[Atrix 4G General] Andy_Thatcher:
Try another store. You should not have to change data plans they do not expire as long as you are paying for them.

As said just swapped the wife's phone without having to.
[Atrix 4G General] donharden2002:
Look in the market place here. There are a few for sale or trade. $300 is too steep for a good used one, you should be able to get one closer to $200 easily.

I just traded mine our I would have given you a good deal on it.

Best of luck to you.

The Atrix definitely has potential. Size is perfect. I came from the HTC Aria and before that a Nexus One. Got the Atrix on an upgrade for $50. Solid purchase.

The Aria is an awesome little phone when OC'd running CM7. Not sure what to do with it now that I have the Atrix. As for the Nexus One, its kinda broken. Runs but will eventually reboot with any moderate usage.
[Atrix 4G General] xxlikquidxx:

I like g-alarm, but it is paid. It was the only good custom alarm app for Win 6.5 and I stuck with it when I switched.

If you are really bad about hitting the snooze a lot without thinking about it you can set up puzzles and math problems to solve before the alarm will shut off.

I don't have a problem with the stock alarm in general but is there one where I can tap to snooze? When my alarm goes off at 6am it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between snooze and off on stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SSJ_Gomike:
It's not....just download the apk above...

As for snooze, this clock has a great one ....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Which alarm clock has snooze and pre-alarm wakes as well as a timer I can use all in the same app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kyentabug:
I am a huge fan of alarm Clock plus (free on market) it has a "nap" widget (dont judge); which is essentially a quick alarm set for one session. The app has many options to tune the alarms including shake to "snooze" function. Very customizable.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidFusion01:
I need some help, and I'm trying to figure out if I caused my own problem or not. I've got a rooted Evo3D, 1.4 Eng HBoot, stock ROM. I noticed while at another location and latching on to an Airave that my audio was extremely garbled. In fact, all audio while making a phone call is completely garbled. I chalked it up to maybe just issues in that Airave's setup.

Now, I have one of my own. My Wife's Epic works on it perfectly. When latched on to my Airave, I get that same garbled audio. When I'm not on the Airave, everything is fine. I've tried 2 different ROM's with the same result. I went back to the .530 radio, same result. I reflashed the stock kernel while on the stock build, same result. I'm currently on Android Revolution HD which if I remember correctly has a different kernel built into it. Same thing.

Am I missing anything else here? Is there anything that I may have done while rooting the phone originally that might have caused my problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? I believe the Airave its perfectly fine, as my Wife's phone works with no issue, and a friend has come over with her Evo 4G and it works just fine as well.

Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

EDIT: Figured it out. The one thing I forgot I had done. I had enabled EVRC-B and that apparently doesn't play nice with the Airave. Changed those settings back to stock and all is well.
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:
Wish I would have seen this earlier I could have saved you the troubleshooting. I had the same problem a couple months ago and yep evcr-b doesn't play nice with the airraves. Glad you got it fixed though.

i can't find anything to suggest any carrier in India uses the 1700/2100 bands needed for T-Mo (US) 3G to work anyway. so it must be about something else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
There are many bands for UTMS, and t-mobile USA is the only one that uses 1700.

Odds are, even if it is pentaband, it still won't support 1700. It might, but it's unlikely.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
You will only get Edge speeds.

There is no need to confirm anything.

Hardware IS HARDWARE.

I would not consider getting T-Mobile's version of this for the sole fact that they'll mess it up by putting a pair of 1.8 ghz Qualcomm chip in there to support their 42mbps network.

It will be garbage once that happens.

At this point, you either accept it as being Edge only on T-Mobile's network, or you don't get it altogether.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughey2k2:
Yeah I know it only works on edge but if a million iphone users are using it then it might be usable but I kinda want a real world test of the Internet and not just specs since that's the only thing that's holding me back

He did get back to me and said they have figured a way around the present problem with the present chip configuration and will come out with a version that will be 1700/2100 compatible. BUT, not soon (2012) and probably will be the next version of this type of 5" + smart phone ....... So it is edge only on TMO :( for now..............
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughey2k2:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the.mister.d:
Howdy all?

Currently I am using Dell Streak which actually was launched for AT&T. So I was only getting TMo's EDGE speed on my Streak. Which for me was not a big deal because I would only have to deal with slow speed while I am either away from home or work.

Some might find it silly, but what I did was, removed my data portion which was with the phone and actually got TMo's 4g hotspot. And I carried both, my Streak and hotspot always with me. Which for me works out alright.

To clarify, by "not soon (2012)", do you mean "not until 2012", or "not in 2012"? Thanks a lot for the info, by the way, if you have any more details on this front, I'd love to hear them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Escaladez2:
While true hardware is hardware, Samsung has a strong history of economizing their various products buy manufacturing them with the same radios, but soft locking them to the branded carriers frequencies. The GSM Galaxy S's, and Galaxy Tab are great examples. You can switch different radio.bins to access the AT&T, Tmo, and Euro 3G frequencies.

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 5 purchased from T-Mobile. It gave me 3G data. Then I installed the phone. When I did that, I had voice and edge only. Then I installed moto's modem switcher.

Being I am CLUELESS as to what causes any of this to work or not work I don't know if this can be done with the Galaxy Note ..

I think that I might have found the reason for the non-functioning 1700MHz setting. From this post asking essentially the same question about the international Galaxy S II:

Oddly, I don't actually see that text in the article, but that would certainly explain what we have seen; the phone could be reporting what the chip reports that it is capable of, but the supporting hardware is missing so errors result.

I would love to have this theory proven wrong, BTW, but I don't expect it at this point.

Yes and it was not for me .. I took down my listing for the Tab and put up the Note in it's place. I only played with it for about an hour, so I didn't look into seeing if a modem switcher would make a difference, but I received Edge only with the Galaxy Note. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS GREAT .. just didn't feel good in my hand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
This is an oversimplified explanation, but it's close enough.

VAT is kind of a sales tax for that country.

If you buy in the store, or ship within the country, you must pay VAT.

If you ship out of country, you don't pay VAT.

It's the same as shipping to different states in the US, you don't have to pay sales tax.

There is some sort of red tape involved, because some EU companies do not have a 'ship out of country and pay no VAT' option.
