[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jibraldor:
Motorola can actually be the best manufacturer out there. Compare the Motorola Atrix to other phones out there and you will notice that only two or three phones are better than it.

Motorola lock their bootloaders and the Camera on Atrix isn't the best. Funnily enough, Motorola are their own obstacles to success.

I also believe that Sony Ericsson(now Sony again?) Are not far off from being numero uno. They just need better management and bring phones with better specs and they will definitely make better handsets. They already produce super sexy phones with great cameras. All they need to do is to implement more RAM into their handsets along with using dual core processors.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijwhelan:
Are there any devs working on an Atrix ICS port yet or are they all working on CM7? I'd love to get me some porting chops but I'd be starting from scratch and that's a lot of time to put into something when you've got college apps that you really should be doing :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
sony has been out of the game for quite a while now, they are way behind in android updates etc, although i love the theme on the x10 but its hardware is just bad. Before the atrix i came from htc inspire and to this day i dont regret it. Before that i had the samsung captivte, they might be ahead in all the technology but their materials pretty much suck ass.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgeicator:
Samsung materials may feel cheap, but they're probably the most durable of all the manufacturers.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deggy:
My next phone is gonna be a samsung phone. Not because of hardware or software but the developing scene on their phones are second to none.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jibraldor:
I agree that Sony Ericsson have been out of the game and its mostly due to the reasons that I mentioned above plus very slow software updates that you mentioned. But Sony have purchased the Shares of Ericsson now and I can only see this as a good news.

I personally think that Sony will now produce way better handsets with top of the notch specs while keeping their sexy form factor and improving their GUI(although I Hope everybody will ditch "GUIING" ICS).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sexywacko:
It's not a working port. Bet it's alpha alpha alpha. Lol it probably boots. And that's it. I haven't even looked either.

Stop complaining. Want ICS? Go make one...actually make it two I'm hungry....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwarzlichtkind:
What´s all the fuss about? ICS will come to the Atrix eventually - CM9 just beeing started worked on. Guys, just relax and wait, or do it yourself.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedscreen:
True, we just would assume that great phones like the Atrix and Photon would get it sooner. You know what I'm sayin?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sturmie:
My sister inlaw has an EVO that I rooted and put MikG's ROM on a few months back. She's coming into town for the holidays and I was going to update her phone for her to MikG's 2.58, but I noticed that Flipz has a few new releases of his FreshROM. Which one has the better battery life (it's the most important thing to her)? Currently, I have her running MikG 2.55 with the MORE Freedom 0.9 kernel.

When I had my EVO, I used FreshROM for a while and then switched to MikG when Flipz wasn't updating for a while there. I sold my EVO back in September, but am still the tech support for my family :).

Thanks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:

[Verizon Droid Charge] IN8skillz:
I am wondering why team gummy bailed on the Droid charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidBlaze:
Afaik they haven't bailed, the charge just isn't a priority right now. Especially with constant leaks it is very time consuming having to update their rom for each new build. I'm pretty sure that's why Imnuts hasn't officially updated Infinity rom in a while since those two roms take A LOT of work to do. I'm guessing once an ota is released team liberty/gummy will update.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
+1. 10 char.
[Verizon Droid Charge] quarky42:
My guess, and only a guess, is that they are waiting for an official build at this point. The leaks have been promising and it seems like an official build might be closer than far away. With an official build comes source code and all the tweaks and customizations which that allows... so just my theory.

They don't owe anyone anything and if they did decide to move onto another device that is their own decision. People like that do these things for the fun of it and sometimes moving onto something new is more fun for them than waiting around for a device that takes too long to get updates from the manufacturer.

Some people stick with a phone for several years. Other people stick with it for several weeks or months before getting bit by the "latest and greatest" bug. So, try to look at things from as many sides as you can... I try to, but I don't always do that myself.

You could always try using Hancent, as it allows you to chage the MMS size.

How well does it work? On my Milestone the changeover was automatic, and by the time I could launch say the Browser or any other app that requires Data, the 3G connection would be established.

On my Nexus S though, it takes like 30 seconds to switch over, so to me it's useless.

[Atrix 4G General] Azurael:
While trying to work out the differences in GPU performance between different kernels on the Atrix (summary: None, but Clemsyn's is measurably the fastest.) I got looking at GLBenchmark results on the Atrix. Yawwwwwn. But anyway, if you look at these results you will notice that there are only 3 outliers in all the submitted results. Mine at 17.6FPS, dated 2011.11.20 thanks to Clemsyn's kernel, one guy who lamed out at 9.8FPS, presumably due to a background process runaway or the device going to sleep mid-bench, and 'mototest' dated 2011.11.17 at a staggering 21.6FPS. By and large the rest of the dataset is within a reasonable margin of error. My earlier result, dated 2011.11.14 falls within the masses and was done with Faux123's 0.2.1 supposedly-GPU-overclocked 1.45GHz kernel under the same version of CM7 weekly I'm currently running.

We can make some interesting assumptions here, including my speculation that this dataset represents a range of Atrixes running different ROMs and kernels (which seems fairly likely, even if most of them are stock) Firstly, Clemsyn's kernel appears to be the only current Atrix kernel with a working GPU overclock. Secondly, the 'mototest' results are very interesting given the similarity of all the other results present. I would say perhaps that the result is erroneous or forged but for the fact that it's mostly within a stone's throw of the other results, not wildly different like a different GPUs are (say the Mali-400MP, which pretty much pulls Tegra 2's underpants down for example). In some of the 'broken down' tests which stress specific shader/texture/rendering algorithms, it's orders of magnitude different on others, it's pretty much average for an Atrix and is beaten by my GPU-OC'd result, which leads me to suspect it isn't the result of overclocking.

Another good thing about this is that it seems CPU clocks don't have much effect given the similarity of the majority of results.

So what is it - A new graphics driver in testing; Anybody got Moto 2.3.5 GLBenchmark results? New system framework providing a speedup somewhere else (even ICS under testing behind closed doors?), or something I hadn't even considered.

I know it's a bad idea to read too much into benchmarks, and to make wild assumptions based on them but I've got a feeling something is going on here - when it's only with the release of Clemsyn's kernel we see any appreciable variation in Atrix results in this test, and those are all in-line with the stock scores plus a little bit for overclocking, beside this mototest result.

It's a great shame you can only see the renderer information for your own results in the browser as that would have given us far more clues to play with.

Oh, and another thing came to mind as I was writing this. I think I need to try installing Chainfire and see if that makes a difference...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hyghonryce:
I just flashed MIUI last night so I am a total noob about it. I looked around (google and xda) and haven't found a solid solution to this. I want to merge my FB and Contacts together but it doesnt sync everyone of my contacts. Sometimes when it merges, it doesn't have a photo for the contact. Is there a manual way of doing this ? In addition is there a way to filter contacts?

On MIUI 1.11.18

Want to merge FB and Phone Contacts (to get info and contact photo)

Want to know if there is a way to filter contacts.

Thanks. Sorry if repost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I was able to have the Facebook app add all my friends into contacts fine. In the contact app settings there is a Remove Duplicates option i have never tried. If you open the specific contact and edit it, there is a join button in the menu. The join feature will let you manually match up the contacts.

I felt miui did all this better than stock, and I didn't need to manually figure it all out in miui like i always have to in stock. Its also easier to hide contacts that don't have phone numbers in miui in the contacts and SMS app.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hyghonryce:
Thanks. found the join menu. I was looking for it. as for the filtering goes. Im still a bit lost (since it synced additional contacts that i didnt have on my phone when i only said i wanted to sync contacts i already have)but i think ill manage by deleting them.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfvt:
Sorry my newbie but it won't be possible to switch the rom to tablet mode instead of phone mode?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgeek:
there is no such thing as "tablet" mode or "phone" mode, there is only one version of android now, ICS, it runs on both tablets and phones, and operates pretty much the same on both. if you have capacitive touch buttons, you won't get the on screen equivalents (whether phone or tablet)... it just does the right thing.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theREDlegion:
This my friend is incorrect, yes there is only one android (4.0) but you are not understanding how it works. ICS is designed to be an OS across both tablet and phone platforms, it is an attempt to stop OS fragmentation across different devices. ICS will work in two different formats depending on which device it is installed on, whether it is a tablet or phone will determine what the user will see. So in essence there is a "tablet" mode and a "phone" mode it is dependant on the device which "mode" you will see, so therefore there are two modes under one OS. Make any sense?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgeek:
What you are saying does make sense, but I don't believe it to be the case. What behaviors are different between tablet and phone ICS installations? It was my impression that the operating system behaved the same between the 2 devices, if this assumption is incorrect, what are the major differences between phone and tablet installations?

go to personalise on the home screen and then under display choose lock screen style, then choose the one you are currently using, or a different one if you wish and then choose settings and then click on the application you wish to change!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wolfedude88:

I actually like it, I have never heard a creak on it like I always did on the Incredible and Thunderbolt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
Who cares what it says?

Yes, the cover is thin. Yes it feels like it's barely made out of anything.

But physically, the thing will never snap on you (not talking about the contact points here).

Don't believe me? Bend the thing a few times, all the way back, end to end. Twist it. It "forms" back into proper shape 100 percent of the time. This is why they marketed it as "hyperskin" Now, I'm sure there is a limit to how much it can bend and return to normal, but tell me what other battery door can you do that with other than the GSII and GNex models, and it won't snap on you?

EDIT: I'll also add that, while some of the GSM versions are looking like they have Samsung made builds and won't be supported in the AOSP, the Verizon model has a Google build and WILL be fully supported in AOSP. Ironic that everyone is complaining about a device for not saying "Google" on the battery cover but is actually more "Google" than some of the unlocked, regional versions.
