[Motorola Atrix 2] imitenotbecrazy:
I think you would be perfectly happy with the atrix2. I work for Best Buy Mobile and I have a lot of phones pass through my hands (I personally get a new one every month or two) so I can be kind of biased towards super smart phones. For the price ($49 from bbym) it is an amazing phone. Its quick and capable of most things the sgs2 and nexus can do (sans ics right now). I dont hesitate to recommend it to people at all for the price. If it were 150+ I would probably not sell many because thats going into sgs2 territory and in my eyes the sgs2 line does have better phones, but at 150-200 dollar difference.

I posted my personal benchmark scores because I know that is what a lot of people want to see. Many people like opinions but will really make decisions based on real data. And yes you're completely right that there are some things limiting the atrix2's scores while not impacting real life performance. The atrix 2's release was right around when the sgs2 came out and completely got overshadowed. We didn't sell a single one for two weeks after launch. Only now when the atrix1 is free and the 2 is only 50 more are people really getting interested. I can honestly say though that the atrix2 does not perform as well as my skyrocket but its hard to really take those as comparisons. The faster clocked processor and much better graphics chip give the sgs2 line a more fluid user feel which does impact my opinion a lot. The atrix sometimes gets twitchy. I am excited to see some developement on the ROM from once the bootloader gets unlocked. I would love a stripped stock rom and OC/UV kernel. Or a nice vanilla ICS port. I hav been playing with the gnex for about 5 days now at work and it is really nice. Unfortunately 4.0 market would not allow me to run benchmarks? Idk how the gnex's score is in antutu then
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sharpshooterrr:
Great reviews for the Atrix 2. Aesthetically, the phone looks good too. But we still can't ignore the fact that apps on the Atrix 2 will randomly delete itself whenever it pleases - possibly the only drawback on this beautiful device.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Most of the problems with the apps have been discussed in details and can be fixed. Make sure you have NO apps installed on the sd card and some class 10 cards dont play well with this phone. Notice I said some, not all. Making sure the card is properly formatted will also save you some headache. Now am I saying you should have to do this, No I'm not, especially with a new phone. But there are working workarounds to address the problems if you take the time to do them.

For the price you WILL not beat this phone and it will hold its own with the higher priced phones. Once we get some custom stuff for it, things will truly be different and in a good way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kirkgbr:
I'm probably going to jinx myself for saying this but I haven't had any apps go missing and I have had the phone for 31 days
[Motorola Atrix 2] Calundle:
Same here. Screen and speaker quality are top notch as well.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nickyb03:
Thank you guys

Thanks for ya'll feedback I live in the caribbean where Blackberry's run the show...Been eyeing Android Since the 1st Atrix...N coming from a bb storm n torch I kno I wont be disappointed...Jus hope its worth the $389 I coughed up for it....Btw can ya'll tell me what apps i will be interested in especially a weather app with a decent widget
[Motorola Atrix 2] kirkgbr:
Beautiful Widgets is 10cents today on the market. It has nice weather and you can select between two different sources.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
The only thing that is different about the A2 compared to its high-end competitors is its price.

At the person talking about apps disappearing, the same thing happened to me. They would usually reappear after a restart. I found out that it's because some apps stored on the microSD card try to get accessed before the microSD card is fully mounted, and it messes with all the apps on the microSD. For me, the problem app was a theme for GO SMS. Just go to "Manage Apps" and find the apps on the "external storage", click on one you think might be causing a problem and select "Move to phone."
[Motorola Atrix 2] PeteSeiler2010:
I have owned other android devices and I was a flash addict, that's how I killed my captivate... That being said, I do look forward to flashable ROMS and other tweaks and mods for the A2. But, I can say that I have never been this satisfied with a stock device as I am with the A2. I got it at Target 2 weeks ago, it was free with a 2 year contract ... I am thoroughly happy with it, I could not ask more of a stock device.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Same here. Had a captivate and loved it. Still have it as a matter of fact but the ATRIX 2 is pretty badass out of the box. I can't wait to see custom rom's on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rukcus:
I got my nexus through bestbuy. Using ics is definitely way different than all the other revisions of android. I have been with Android since G1. These changes are definitely what Android needed. Although it can be slightly confusing for someone who is used to how it was.

The first nexus I got had one pixel that was stuck on and wouldn't go away despite using those pixel fixer apps in the market. So I had to exchange it.

If you are buying the nexus to use on any other networks than I would suggest that you buy with virgin mobile to avoid the $35 activation fee and use their month to month plan for $20/month . I bought it through best buy so I can use my best buy points and they are also offering double the points on your purchase so in total I got back another $30 using my Bb credit card.

Sorry if there is no structure to my review its more like my 3 day thoughts. I hope the tips help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maybelying:
Just an FYI, but both Future Shop and Best Buy can sell a GN outright for use on any network, as long as you can find the right rep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
I just bought my Galaxy Nexus yesterday, from Virgin Mobile. Got the last one the store had in stock. After a lot of debate, I decided to go for the 3 year contract with Virgin to get the lower price, as I don't mind buying out of it later if I have any problems with them. Virgin/Bell definitely has the best network (speeds and coverage) in my area, so going with them was an upgrade for me over Rogers, and Virgin had a plan I liked a bit better than Bell. No activation fee was nice too, and the people in the store were very friendly and helpful. Also, Virgin's web site and emails seem targeted at younger audiences, so it's fun for me to feel a bit younger again :)

I'm having a good experience so far. As soon as I got home I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the stock firmware, and installed ClockworkMod recovery. ICS is different, for sure, but I got used to it pretty quickly and I'm liking it very much. Today was my first full day with the phone and I started on a full battery. I'm now 10 hours on battery, with 69% left. That includes texting throughout the day, some web browsing and personal/work email, and one phone call. I'm very pleased with the Galaxy Nexus so far.

The only thing is, when I wake the phone, it says "VIRGIN" on the screen. I'm not sure if it's proclaiming to be a virgin, or calling me one :eek:

What is the most battery saving rom and kernel combo? My battery life with bombardier is as bad as an iPhone currently...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
I've been using my SR for a week now and initially I had QuickWiz ROM installed but after getting some SOD, I switched to TPC ROM which worked great for few days as well but lately I have started getting random reboots that I have not been able to pinpoint the cause for.

I reinstalled TPC rom and then immediately got a reboot. After restarting the phone, it worked for few mins and then rebooted again. At this point, I reinstalled QuickWiz and just within an hour, I have already gotten two reboots.

Any suggestion what might be causing it? Could it be hardware related?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
You might try flashing the stock 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 ROM and KERNEL and see if random reboot problem goes away... then you'll know it's not a hardware issue. Check the Development section and read carefully... probably need to clear cache/data multiple times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
I ODIN back to stock yesterday and everything worked for until today when I got the reboot when opening email which leads me to believe that there is a hardware problem somewhere. I have already gone through three different ROMS (including stock) and I always get random reboots sooner or later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
So do you now have 3e recovery... or is CWM Recovery still your recovery partition? From what I've read, you need to clear data and clear cache up to 3 times each from 3e recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
I gave up on this and called Amazon. They are shipping me a new SR overnight :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] reubendevries:
I had the same problem and was really confused and then I think I figured the problem out. Do you have one of those thin leather mobile phone cases that attach to your belt? I notice when I put my brand new SR in my case that I purchase that when it moves even just a little bit it will push down on my power button and shut it off and back on. Is there any chance that is happening. I know it sounds stupid but I does happen to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
Nope, that was not the case because my phone was rebooting either when I was on call or even when it was just sitting on the table.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] n19htmare:
I had two reboots last night. Both times, I was On the phone using headphones and phone was plugged into a charger.

It seems to reboot if It's plugged in and am on the phone at the same time. It does get pretty warm.

WTF.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pvsgh:
I have been having the same issue with my Skyrocket. I am also using TPC v3 ROM, haven't tried to put the stock rom yet, but one thing for sure that this problem is not persistent.

When this problem start, my phone keep restarting for at least 5-10 times and it doesn't allow you to do anything in between. Once it starts working you won't see the booting issue again. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
I only use Google voice for my voicemail. Don't ever plan on using the Sprint app that comes with the E4GT. How can I remove it ?

I am rooted, and have the app root explorer, would that allow me to go into system/app and just delete the .apk ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Anyone ?

Calk's 2.0.1a + ICS theme 1.9.2 + Rogue kernel 1.3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yup, you can use Root Explorer and delete it from system/app. I have done it several times before
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Great, thanks JC
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aquaholik:
It is under /data/app and you can see it if you are rooted and use root explorer or es-explorer. Instead of deleting it, you might want to just rename it to *.bak, reboot the phone, and then delete the icon. It will say "not installed sd". BTW I have trouble renaming it with swype as the keyboard so you might want to switch to stock keyboard just to rename it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zorachus:
Oh I thought vtt-sprint.apk was the stock Sprint voicemail ? Does anyone know which file it is ?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rootblock:
If I understand correctly, the Nook Color does not have a locked bootloader, hence custom rom capability. The Nook Tablet however does have a locked bootloader, and I have read that this is apparently due to Netflix capability.

Just read on Engadget that the Color is getting a multimedia update, bringing Netflix as a feature. What I am looking forward to finding out is if this update will lock the Color's bootloader because of Netflix. If not, this whole bootloaders-locked-due-to-Netflix myth is busted.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/12/nook-color-gets-multimedia-upgrade-further-blurs-the-tablet-bat/
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
Netflixs HD requires the locked not SD Netflix so if the colors new update can play netflix in standard def but not high def then there is something to this
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Anxiyz:
Netflix HD is the theory as to why the bootloader is locked. The question is whether or not the update to the Nook Color is Netflix or Netflix HD.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
NT's locked bootloader is hardware-based, which doesn't exist for the NC. Evidence points to that as requirement for Netflix HD certification. Nook Color won't get Netflix HD, since it can't play HD videos regardless.

The worst that can happen is that value-add services (Netflix, Hulu+, et al) are tied to some software-based encryption, which stops working when rooted. This is the case for Amazon VOD. That's unlikely for Netflix/Hulu+, since as paid services it's in the vendors' interest to make these as widely available as possible.

Anyway, it doesn't matter for the NC. Its main uses are as an e-reader, which will never be obsolete, and as a repurposed (CM7/9) device, for which the B&N updates are irrelevant. The NC is not fast enough to be a good multimedia device regardless, so a multimedia update means little.

Edit: From the NC forum, all the old tools still work, including the re-root.

In the middle of the process in Advanced Ace Hack Kit something went wrong and the cmd window closed. So now when I turn on the phone it hangs in htc white screen. And now in recovery mod I only have htc default recovery with an option: “Apply sdcard:update.zip” but I get “signature verification failed”.
