[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
not sure why all the hate for samsung phones. i love my nexus s, and the nexus line has been the fore-front of android phones.

but, here's what i have been tossing around

galaxy s II (skyrocket)

pros:

better processor, bigger screen, no lag, better stock camera, software not as molested, tons of development support

cons:

battery

htc vivid

pros:

camera, better hardware (cannot deny that htc has always made great devices), htc will be unlocking all of their bootloaders

cons:

sense ui (can easily be removed), battery

atrix 2

pros:

screen, accessories (extra cost), battery

cons:

memory problems, emails won't stop syncing, menus are confusing, motoblur hinders performance with tons of extra services, no development, no response from motorola on any of the problems people have been having

focus s

pros:

something other than android (has been 4 years since i've used anything other than android), smooth ui

cons:

i lose all of my android apps
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
I dont have any problems with Samsung phones. If the screen had been better on the SGII, I would have probably gotten it rather then the A2. But when I picked up the A2 the ONLY screen comparible to it was the IPhone4 and apple is a no go for me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] halfevildruid:
Took it back today defective. Checked out everything and still decided to stay with the ATRIX 2. Still the best all around phone and price currently there IMHO. Mine was free no upgrade charge. Although I was close to taking the Samsung captivate glide. It was nice.
[Motorola Atrix 2] V@no:
When you guys referring to SGII, you actually talking about the new version - "Samsung Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket", correct?

for me it's a x2 pros...

And on top of that problem with push mail, it only syncs at specified interval (15 minutes minimum) "push" doesn't work (or works occasionally after reboot)

IMO this phone is F(_)CKED UP all around

/me waiting for Friday, hopefully they will have some good deals on Skyrocket, I'll try my luck with it then.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
fyi, all att phones are 1cent on amazon
[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
I believe it only applies for new customers. To upgrade the price changes.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
that sucks, it was working for me with update yesterday
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
Push works perfectly for me. Both GMail and an Exchange account.

I have never tried fetch only...IMO that defeats the purpose of having an email capable phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jacindc:
Assuming you're not behind a corporate firewall when you're complaining about push not working? It your company shuts off certain ports, push doesn't work (Talk doesn't either).
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
not really, i like to check my mail at my convenience, not have my phone blasted with emails every 13 seconds.

manual fetch also saves battery

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

my problem isn't that push doesn't work, it's that it's off, and i'm still having mail pushed to me
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
Manual fetch only saves battery if you get a lot of email (which you may very well). Push is far more efficient on battery if you do not get a ton of email (I do not).
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
i have 6 email accounts and get around 400 emails per day
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
Yeah, OK...I probably wouldn't use push either then. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
HoLy Sh!t Batman !!!! You need a secretary LOL
[Motorola Atrix 2] V@no:
No, not firewall problem, I run my own email server and can see when phone connects to check email.

With push email working properly phone loggs in about every 10-15 seconds (or even stays with opened session between checks). Right now it connects only every 15 minutes (to the second).

Here is another issue I've experienced today: network connection (phone + internet) died several times, it first showed signal bars with red circle, then 4g icon was blinking white for 5 minutes. It sure could be ATT network issue, but it happened twice already since I got this phone, in last 4 years never ever had this problem.

P.S.

regarding Skyrocket/Vivid have problems too, well, at least they have a chance get it fixed, because development is blumming, with Atrix 2 I feel like sitting at the bottom of a **** house with closed lid. :mad:

Just one day for me and this nightmare is over!
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
In playing around with the email, it seems the fetch schedule always reverts to 15 minutes if push is enabled. In order to keep the change (I just switched my work acct to manual for the holiday) I had to first disable push, then change the schedule from 15 mins to manual. I then power cycled the phone and noticed it retained the manual fetch option.

Previously I had switched to manual fetch but left push on, thinking that I could simply disable push on the weekends and retain the manual fetch. However, I noticed that every time I switch the fetch option while I left push turned on, the email program would revert to a 15 minute fetch option upon restart.

Not sure if that will solve anyone's issue or not, but just figured I would throw it out there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
well, i think i will be exchanging my atrix 2 today for the focus s.

i am now having really bad speaker crackle on lock/unlock sounds. emails will not stop auto-syncing, i am at the point where i have removed almost all of my email accounts from the phone because of this. the phone is getting really laggy, even though nothing is running. camcorder just plain sucks. still no word from motorola on addressing ANY of the problems people have been having with their phones. development is at a stand still. i see no future for this device, i doubt motorola is going to continue to support it now that they have more publicized devices out. the only reason i hadn't exchanged this phone earlier was the car dock, but, it ridiculous that i have been just dealing with these issues because i like the car dock function.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Atrixed2:
This is not to stop you from returning the phone but to probably remedy some issues. Unlock/lock sound- i disabled mine because theres no use for it and havent seen custom sounds for it probably widget locker. Auto sync - i just disable data using data enabler and data saver in settings. Dont know if you wanted to stop auto sync completely to save data or just dont want to use email completely. Laggy - i kill apps that is using memory using the stock yask manager and its auto kill feature. Havent seen my a2 lagged at all and i restrart my phone every other day. Phone issues - havent seen a company actually address an issue before. Ive yelled at att rep just to get my upgrade fee waived lol. Well good luck any info in this post can be googlized :)

Sent from my Atrix2

lol I used tapa talk and only read the last post and didn't realize the last 7 pages of post haha - face-palm.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Sorry to hear that.really hate to lose you.strange thing is I've experienced none of those issues with my phone.it runs like a rocket.the only mods I have are root, device health app frozen and SD read ahead adjusted to 2048.

Sent from my MB865
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
that's the thing, what's the point of having the phone if i have to disable most of it's main features just to make it work right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
At my job I am one of the most experienced guys in the shop and sometimes I make stupid mistakes not because I dont know any better but because its almost second nature so I find I have gone on autopilot at times and forget to do something. Only once I get it all reassembled do I realize what I forgot to do. Same happens with electronics, I think i've got it all figured out and overlook something. I could see the same happening with you since you're so good with these phones, its so easy to happen.

As for the lock/unlock sound...is it even necessary to have that sound?

The email thing could be as simple as one missed setting, hard to say. But I have 4 email accounts on my phone and dont experience any of the issues you described....I also dont keep my data connection open all day, in all fairness, but this isnt my business phone either. So I have the luxury of syncing when I feel like it, you may not.

I dunno man, if your issues with the phone are that strong and you feel like keeping it is settling, time to move on. Hope it all works out for ya mayne!
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
i like the screen sounds because if i hear it as i am sliding the phone in my pocket, i know the screen is locked.

i know that i have gone over all the settings i can find, i've asked here and at the motorola forums on settings for syncing. and no matter how i have it setup, it just won't stop. i could be overlooking something, but, no one else has been able to point me to the correct setting either.

i could live with the problems, but, i can't live with the fact that motorola hasn't even addressed any of the many different issues that their customers are having, and that's my main concern.

i know for a fact that they have their partition tables setup incorrect, and that's why they have ~5gb of app storage, no accessible internal and sdext/apps2sd issues. these could easily be fixed with an OTA patch, but, it hasn't happened and it hasn't been announced.

i really like the phone, i just don't like having issues that seem like they will never be addressed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Man hate to see you go but understand not having something working properly and making you mad. Two quick suggestions to hopefully change your mind. Have you tried a brand new phone to see if tour problems persist on it? How about trying one of the patches we have found in the bootloader unlock thread and see what it does to phone since you're looking hard at trading it in? Really have nothing to lose.

Good luck either way and we will miss ya!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Clovett:
Same here. If I didn't know better I would say we had two different phones
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
went up to the att store, played around with the focus s, really liked it, but i was told there are new phones coming sunday... so i will wait until sunday, which is really pushing my 30 day return since i'm at day 21 now, lol.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Don't do it, you will regret ditching Android....plus, W7m users all get ghonnacephalitis and it's not curable:eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] halfevildruid:
I second that, I ditched android for a short time for the first focus. Don't get me wrong the WP7 phones I used have great batt life, easy to use, smooth and not much in the way of problems. But within a couple months I found myself missing android very much.

The thing with WP7 is it's a dumb smartphone. It was made for the wife.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

There is bugs with every phone at first, it's only been little over a month. The dev build is up to 55.13.22, so it's obvious Moto is working on fixes.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
The data thing happened a lot with my last Samsung.

This phone has handled everything I've thrown at it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cashy57:
Dude get an lg thrill. Dual core, dual channel ram. Got mine overlooked to 1.2GHz right now and I'm loving it. You can. Get it at radioshack for at&t for only $19.99 I believe.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
No. Just no.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
well, mind i made up, getting the focus s tomorrow. the ciq, emails still not stopping, atrix 2 most likely not getting ics... i'm just not going to deal with it anymore. i think i'm over android anyhow. no matter how i customize my homescreen, i'm just not happy with it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
It'll get ICS one way or another. It just may not be worth it in the long run. Have fun in Windows land.

I might start developing for this phone. I have insurance so if I brick it, it's not a huge loss to me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] athris:
atrix 2 got dual core, dual channel and 1GB of ram (also 8MP camera), i can't find any reason to get an lg thrill. In terms of specs, i think atrix 2 is even better than lg thrill.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
At the very least, it's the fastest data phone on AT&T at the moment and will get to take full advantage of LTE whenever it finally rolls out.
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
i am trying to edit systemUI from the shogun rom to change text color but i cant decompile with apktool it gives errors then wont build back just alot of errors so i put the resources.arsc file in a stock systemui it decomplied fine i edited it recompiled then put resources.arsc back in my systemui and it worked and text was like i want but now i am missing icons in quicksettings the original icons r there but i have extra setting in quick setting and the icons for those r gone the stock ones r still there can some one pls help
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Did you installed the framework files from the shogun rom with apktool?

apktool if framework-res.apk

and

apktool if com.htc.resources.apk

..after that it should work.

Would be easier to help, when you post that errors.

If they are smali related you can decompile it with:

apktool d -s SystemUI.apk

..than it decompiles without the sources - you just need the ressources to edit teh text color, so it should be fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] 1107963:
What I usually do when changing pngs on systemui.apk is extract it with 7zip and then navigate to the folder I would change pngs and than open systemUI.apk with 7zip and just drag and drop to the right location... this work for me but remember I just change pngs never edited anything else...
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
png are easy i use 7zip to but but i dont extract it thats a waste of time just open with with 7zip and drag and drop is easier
[HTC EVO 3D] oakieville:
sorry guys j4n87 was rite i had wrong framework-res installed im doing this on shogun rom but shogun has project blue theme also and i got framework-res from rom and theme mixed up got it now thanks j4n87
[General Questions and Answers] jbird951:
I use Contapps, which I generally like but one thing that bugs me, if I have a missed call and go into the call log in Contapps it doesn't clear it from my notification bar. I have my call log directed to open the Contapps log not the built in phone one. It's sort of a small annoyance but I'm curious can this be fixed? I was looking into Tasker, I don't own the program yet but I'm thinking that could maybe do it. Is there any easier and possibly free method to do this though?
[HTC Amaze 4G] khaddem:
i have a sensation 4g and we had issues with the speaker during calls. i want to buy this phone but the store phone speakers were bad despite the volume being all the way up during a call test. Can anyone share their experience with this particular feature?

i also have a BlueAnt Q2 headset and struggle with my sensation. Can get a consensus on 1 or 2 good headset for the Amaze?

thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] getrdy:
I have plantronics discovery 975 and the volume is good. Its all the way up but i can hear it perfectly fine. If not it can be adjusted with dspmanager.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Hi, Just got the Samsung Epic Touch 4G and the Dock. When the phone is plugged into the Dock, a dock app pops up. For the life of me I don't see this app listed under my list of apps. Can someone please tell me what it is called/where to find it? I would like to uninstall it. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nobrakes:
It's the desk clock, it's in the clock app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
Thanks,

Thats what I figured. But, was not sure, as when I opened the clock app it looks different. So must be part of the clock app that only shows up when docked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Remember you have Dock options in "Settings" for playing through external speakers. I want to grab a dock myself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pjjohn73:
yes, I seen that also. As matter fact.. I had the checked. You don't want it checked unless your really playing through external speakers. This morning my alarm never sounded, and that was why.
[Motorola Droid 3] KrInEn:
I was able to do this mod to my Incredible 2. I was able to plug in the charger and test the points on the back of the phone to determine polarity for my mod.

I am now trying to do this on my Droid 3. Only issue I am having is that when plugged into the charger the leads are set up like so.

1 2 3 4

[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

Now testing across leads 1 and 2 I get 1.6v with #2 being the positive lead. Now after more testing it seems like #2 is the only positive lead??? can this be? Am I testing it wrong?

I will be posting pics and doing more testing later today

UPDATE:

After some testing I found proper polarity. Wouldn't you know it, +5v to these points starts 'wireless charging'. I will be updating with pics as I install the coil from my old Pre :)

Here is a pic of the points. Positive is Red, ground is Black.

Unsure what the middle two are. More testing when I get the coil installed
[Motorola Droid 3] The Chris:
So did you get this working? Did you blow it up? I've ordered a few Touchstone Pre2 backs from Amazon for cheapy cheap and a handful of the chargers from Verizonwireless for something like $5 shipped.
[Motorola Droid 3] ourtut:
I ordered the kit for like $10 from amazon and wanted to do this cuz i saw the tut for the incredible and notice my d3 had 4 pins also but i had no way of checking them. Thank you so much for the info!
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Id be interested in knowing how you did this if you get it working. The equipment is pretty cheap compared to some of the other inductive chargers
[Motorola Droid 3] ourtut:
Step 1. Watch this video http://youtu.be/0ga4N_Ih9GE?t=4m20s (from 4:20 - 4:55) to see how to get the back off.

Step 2. Solder the 2 connections to the shrapnel you pulled out of the back case for the palm. (used http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/06/h...rk-with-palm-touchstone-wireless-charger.html too double check the connections)

Step 3. Solder the two wires from the shrapnel to the d3

Step 4. Sandwhich it all together like fresh meat at the county jail.

Step 5. Wire up your touchstone.

Step 6. If you cant figure out step six then you dont belong here.

Notes!

Your device wont chage on the touchstone while the touchstone is hooked up to usb on your pc (maybe not enough juce)

Palm is a dumbass and doesent include a damn usb cable with THE TOUCHSTONE KIT (KEYWORD KIT!!!)

Luckily my d3 charger works with the touchstone and charges right

If you cant handle my sick sense of humor then just ignore it (simple as that)

IT DOES NOT CHARGE WITH THE OTTERBOX, Possible fix: Put the shrapnel in between the back cover and the otterbox and do what this but did http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...us-mod-palm-touchstone-without-soldering.html

[HTC EVO 3D] VladBelsky:
Since the GSM Evo 3D has a dual-mode radio and an MSM8660 processor that is capable of CDMA 2000, wouldn't it theoretically be capable of running on a CDMA network?
[HTC EVO 3D] VladBelsky:
The PG86300 Evo 3D has an MS8660 processor, or am I mistaken?
[HTC EVO 3D] VladBelsky:
*****bump*****
[HTC EVO 3D] tjb3401:
It wouldn't be the processor that makes any difference, just the radio.

I don't have experience with it because I never have had the interest, but Google "CDMA Workshop" and supposedly you can use it to get phones to work on different networks, I.E. I've heard of Verizon phones being changed to work on Sprint. So theoretically you could get any phone with the right CDMA frequency radio to work on a given network. Not sure of the legality though... ha
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Don't think the cpu will have much impact on radio operations, other than perhaps speed of the device.

If the radio works with CDMA and operates on the same frequency as the network, yes, it should work. Keep in mind, just like GSM, CDMA frequencies will vary based on carrier and country/regulation.

Would research the specific country/carrier's CDMA frequency in order to determine specifically if your device will operate correctly with it.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] rexboy:
I've searched but to no avail. If my SG2 is in charge and reaches 100% (ie when I have it on charge overnight) it does not power on when I attempt to use it the next day. I have to reboot with the power button or remove the battery.

I don't believe it's rom related as this is recently happening to me using criskelo and rarity roms.

I've installed a few new apps recently but can't find the culprit.

Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this annoying bug....

HopeSaraiva, Have you tried removing the SD card (if you have one in)? I have a similar problem and the only identifiers are that it will never crash when charging or when the SD card is removed.
