I agree about buying a tablet rather than a phone...i mean, what can you get on a phone apart from bad graphics games out of dual core processor.

Get a quad core tablet for android, enjoy high res, gaming...fullHD movies...for the same price...yes same price, look for tegra 3 based device comming soon...it is worth 500$ or so
[Desire HD General] Sany789:
I Think there Actually more Roms for DHD, so i would say no :D
[Desire HD General] olyloh6696:
+1

If you get a tablet instead of a sensation, you can still use the dhd
[Desire HD General] gerryjoson:
I would say no, keep the DHD.

I own both, here's what is better about each for me.

Sensation.

Video recording is a lot better than the DHD.

The screen is slightly brighter and has better contrast.

Better battery life

Desire HD.

Less lag.

Wider screen that doesn't have those lips on the edges like the sensation

Feels more solid

Not as slippery to hold as the sensation

Gets better signal

Has way better sound and higher volume capability through headphones

Ringtones and alerts are louder.

Both are unlocked with stock roms except the DHD is rooted so I could uninstall social networking crap.

Personally I like the DHD more, time over again I would have bought the GSII instead of a sensation.
[Desire HD General] swift2fly:
i would put money towards a new laptop. my DHD is almost half the performance of my MacBook pro. this phone never gets boring when it's rooted... besides it's still fast. what would you use the sensation for, that would be different from the DHD?

sent from the Penh.
[Desire HD General] phioner:
I have tested my friends Sensation and wouldnt change to it.

Sensation feels like a toy in hand compared to DHD. Also it didn't seem as smooth as DHD, but that might be because Sensation was with stock rom and my DHD is rooted ARHD.

Sensation's camera and the ability to record 1080p video is the only good thing about it.
[Desire HD General] kanav bhasin:
No .. a desire hd is just as capable as the sensation for now. The sensation is a cool phone but it doesn't feel like an upgrade. I'd seriously suggest you wait for something with a 720p display and quad core. But to be honest the concept of cores on android is pointless. I haven't found any app in the market that justifies dual core capabilities .. however that should change with I.c.s.
[Desire HD General] DexterMorganNL:
No because if I would try to sell my DHD then I would lose alot off money, as the DHD dropped alot in price. But if I had no DHD then I would choose the Sensation as it better then the DHD.
[Desire HD General] olyloh6696:
Sensation isn't much faster in normal use, but it smoothness in the web browser you may feel the difference, if you don't overclock your DHD
[Desire HD General] zla.mas:
You use your phone for games and similar things that could use dual core ? For what do you need that ? DHD is top phone for puprose of meaning "phone"
[Desire HD General] ToneyEricsson:
I bought the Sensation already having the DHD and took the Sensation back! The DHD is much better especially all the ROMS :D
[Desire HD General] DexterMorganNL:
I'm sure the Sensation is better. It just that our DHD is already more then a year old and we have many custom roms, so ofcourse our DHD performs very good.

But still with no doubt the Sensation is better, you can see it from it spec's. Yes it's like a upgraded version off the DHD and it also aims to be the multimedia phone as the DHD is, but its a fact that the Sensation is better then the DHD.

Makes it that worth to switch? Well yes if you sell your DHD for like € 200 and then you still just need pay € 185 extra, if you don't mind that then its worth, but I would stick atleast 2 years with the same phone because I took it with a 24 month contract.

But if you see how cheap the Sensation is now, then if I advise people to buy a phone then I will say they should buy the Sensation and not DHD.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
as long as my desire HD plays the latest heavy weight games properly, like it does with shadow gun, sprinkle and riptide GP and as long as the OS is running at locked 60fps like it does with ARHD 6.2.x+UltraRosie+SuperCharger , there is absolutely no reason to upgrade

i will wait till one good game i want requires better hardware or till i feel the DHD can not handle the OS :) and once a better more future proof device is out, like quad core + HD display, HD Display being a requiremnt :D

I feel the Sensation is like a 1.5 upgrade over DHD
[Desire HD General] DexterMorganNL:
Well Apple does the same with their iPhones, but they don't change anything about the design.

And many iPhone 4 owners will buy iPhone 4S and that is also just a small upgrade, similar to DHD > Sensation, but I can see attention off devs is also going to the Sensation, capychimp is also developing for the Sensation.

But for the DHD you still have many roms and developing is still continue.
[Desire HD General] chriswaldeck:
Don't

There is some videos on the web that compares the two. I will not change, wait for quadcores.

Hi all-

Got an Epic here running stock rom at v2.2.1

I cannot get my work Exchange account to sync my calendar. Email comes in just fine. When I go into accounts and check the option to sync calendar, I see a very quick flash (too little to actually do anything.)

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1n4001:
Have you looked in the logs files?

Connect the phone to your computer w/ USB Debugging enabled. Then in a command prompt: adb logcat

This assumes you have the Android platform-tools installed and in your path.

You can then try to sync the calendar w/ logcat running and see what error it pops if any.

[Thunderbolt General] kyle3108:
I was jw. If snow can really disrupt 4g I had it untilled today so idk if the network is down. Or the snow is causing a interference? Thank you for your time
[Thunderbolt General] ktez:
Not sure where you are located, but I had to call Verizon today because neither me nor my hubby could get a data signal (we are in a 3g only area). They are not sure what is going on but are sending a network engineer out. I really don't think the snow would do it, I think they are just having some network issues again.
[Thunderbolt General] icesteve:
Since I got my phone we haven't had a major snow fall, but i'm sure I'll be finding out soon
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
I wouldn't think snow could disrupt 4G signal, unless the tower became covered in ice or something...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Super Chimp:
Does it make the Note easier to handle than other large devices because you can use it two handed all the time. I don't get the ergonomic problems I got with my SGS2 when using my tablet because I use it two handed. Does this apply to the Note that it's actually better to use in this respect because of this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abergon:
Hi Superchimp,

I got my Note today. Having it physically in my hands now, I am not sure I understand all these questions/hesitations/fears about the size. Sure, it is slightly bigger than the competition, but it is not huge. It is very easy to hold in one hand, type with both thumbs either in portrait or landscape, and I am short-sized with rather small hands.

And it is an excellent device in all respects.

And on top of that it fits very easily in a trousers' pocket too...

So don't worry, if you are interested, go for it, you won't regret it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Super Chimp:
Thanks for that. Could it be used all the time two handed, as I think for me because of the problem I have with my hands, this would actually be a preferred method of use. As I have mentioned before I used to get a lot of pain in my hands using the SGS2, but don't generally get this with my iPad even though it's bigger and heavier, I believe for myself that this is because it can be used two handed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SNiiPE_DoGG:
It's very easy to use two handed, I prefer to use it this way and now with the note I spend less time typing my texts than ever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Super Chimp:
Thanks for that confirmation. I think I will get the Note because of this, plus it's cheaper than the Nexus. As I am big person, hopefully it will not look too out of place in my hands.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but I'm having a problem rebooting into recovery.

I had Alien installed, then switch to CM7.1. Didn't like it as much so decided to go back. I ran a backup of CM7.1, but when Alien started its installation, it sat there forever, so I did a battery pull.

Tried to reboot back into recovery to flash my backup, but when I hold the volume rocker down, and press power, it just says "fastboot" and "running fastbook protocol" but never goes to the CWM screen. Help??

Hi, does anybody know whether the lapdock 100 works with the atrix? because I am about to buy a lapdock and am attracted by the longevity and multi-compatibility of the lapdock 100 (and 500 too). Both for eventually reselling it or use it with a newer phone.

Thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
No, the ports (micro-usb and mico-HDMI) are "upside down" compared to the latest iterations found on the Atrix 2, Bionic, and Razr. I'm sure someone will come up with a mod and post their instructions eventually.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

Here is a picture of the Original Atrix:

And here is the Atrix 2 for comparison:

Notice how the ports do not match.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gianluca.tomat:
Thanks a lot for the answer!! really hate motorola for this, anyway since it's a cable I think it could be possible to modify it. Let's hope someone do it and post a guide.. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
I was under the impression that the new Lapdocks have a cable instead of a dock...

In any case I think the original Lapdock looks much better than the new ones.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry99705:
They do, but if you look closely you'll see the ports are upside down and backwards, so just flipping the cable over won't work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Look at the ports very closely. You should see that they are "upside down" as in the curvatures are opposite to each other. If you tried to turn the cable upside down then the ports would be reversed/ wrong side.

If you look at the cable provided you will notice that the usb and hdmi connections are combined making it impossible to plug into the OG Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
I get it... Thanks!

But this is proof that Motorola sucks big time and this is another example of bad PR because of something so simple that could be avoided by using the same orientation/placement of the plugs.

I thought that the whole idea to get rid of the dock and use cables was to future-proof the lapdock so other Motorolas (with diferent shapes and sizes) could use it. BUT NOOOOOO Moto has to make things hard for consumers!

Too bad Motorola is the only one at the moment with Webtop environment, otherwise I would have dumped them already!

In any case, if you are an Atrix 4G user, you might like the original Lapdock better like myself.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I completely agree. I have come to resent Motorola more for their business/sales decisions rather than their actual products. I feel they make some of the best handsets (even if they do run Blur) but they are more interested in appealing to business/corporate users. That is exactly what Blackberry did for the longest time and look where that got them.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V DidDy 210:
it sucks true, but it means that OG lapdocks will go down in price and since there really isn't much difference (save for the larger screen) having the super slim OG lapdock is actually a plus IMO
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robrj:
It's just a matter of making an adapter cable with the ports in the right position. It's not that big of a deal if the ports are switched. It will happen eventually, possibly even from Motorola.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedscreen:
They are made for the newer generation of Motorola Android Devices.

I am using the Photon, (powered by Sprint, the Now Network.)

This lapdock will work for me.

Don't fret, if someone figures out how to open the thing without breaking it, there will be a guide, it is possible.

We were able to modify your dock to get it to work on the Photon.

Simple Solution?

If there is room enough, why not just use two cords; a USB and a micro HDMI?

Wouldn't that do the same thing? Could even electric tape them together at intervals for a neater appearance.

If there is some reason why this couldn't work, please let me know.

By the same token, couldn't I use two cords going from my Razr and plug them into an Atrix lapdock?

No. The hdmi cable doesn't have micro connectors on both ends. Also not sure they make micro-usb extension cables.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott Atrix:
Maybe more than two

I looked online and saw some connecters of both sorts, so maybe with enough trips to the drawing board, say micro to reg to double ended then reg back to mini. Convoluted, yes, but I think it could be done. Esp. considering what the dock already cost.

Doesn't the Atrix use a Micro HDMI port, rather than a Mini?

I'm curious to get my hands on a lapdock 500 (which looks really nice)

while I was right in saying the OG dock would go down in price (and i got one!) I'm wondering how much wiring actually flows in the end of the connector and how much of that is just plastic.

If it was 99% plastic you could file it away and make two "plugs" out of it that with some electrical tape would not only look nice but would be functional for ALL devices, even Non-moto branded phones that have HDMI out!

Lapdock 500 Pro

According to this Motorola page, the Lapdock 500 Pro will be compatible with our Atrix v1.

I like the added camera and larger screen. We'll have to see how well the extra resolution slows down the performance, though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I'm going to safely assume that they meant to put the Atrix 2 instead of the OG Atrix. Since the cable is built in then the configuration of the cable connections is fixed so according to the alignment of the ports on the Razr, Bionic, Photon, and Atrix 2, it means that the original will not be compatible.

If you look at the images I provided at the beginning of this thread you will notice the differences. And you can look at this video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmghIj4O1v8

At about 4:22 of the video you can see him pull the cable from its slot on the lapdock and if you look closely you will see how the holes are aligned in its place. Now assume you have the Atrix 4G and place it in the dock with the screen facing you and the top end facing left, you can imagine how those ports would not align correctly.

They really screwed over OG Atrix owners when they flipped the configuration of the ports starting with the Photon. Funny thing is, they did it then to keep the accessories proprietary and now they want them to be universal.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJPollard:
At AtrixForums, one of the members spoke with someone in live chat, and the guy said that "... it's compatible with any webtop enabled device, including Atrix 4G and Atrix 2. The A2's exclusion from the web page is an oversight."

So, if true, that means the Lapdock 500 Pro is compatible with all of these phones, including the Atrix 4G. Could also further explain why AT&A was blowing out the original Atrix lapdock.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Yes, the OG Atrix should be compatible software wise (webtop) but what about the actual port connections? Have they released an adapter?

I'm just speaking solely on hardware.
