[Galaxy S II General] psbt:
TW is great until ICS :(. The ICS launcher is just too great to skip.

Still, I think the best we can hope for is TW launcher ICS ver.
[Galaxy S II General] Toss3:
TouchWiz was great for gingebread as it provided a much smoother experience than any other phone/launcher. On ICS, it doesn't have that advantage, so I see no reason to keep TouchWiz alive. It only slows down updates(requires much more work from samsung, in terms of testings, customizing etc. and time=money), so it would benefit both parties to just provide a stock experience.
[Galaxy S II General] supercurio:
54 Yes already.

1 No, 1 I don't care.

Thank you it proves the results are not forged :D
[7 Mozart General] KrisInfinity:
Hi all,

I'm looking into buying a HTC 7 Mozart (I found one for around $300 in a electronics store in my country). I'm almost convinced on buying the Mozart, however I have one final question. When W8 will be released, will we eventually be able to upgrade the OS without changing phone?

Thanks in advance
[7 Mozart General] rayane59700:
hi, when w8 will be released, microsoft automatically update zune for WPusers.
[7 Mozart General] vardhan88:
next update was scheduled in march-april 2012

most probably w8 late 2012
[7 Mozart General] spmohapatra:
The correct question is - would it support Apollo?

..and the answer would be - most likely yes. But if that is such an important puchase criteria, I'd suggest you hedge by putting off your purchase till you have more clarity and access to better h/w.

There are rumors that I'm WP7 has records showing HD8 over Vodafone on Build 7740 in Romania, If that's possible than i believe we have more chances to have Apollo on Mozart.
[7 Mozart General] KrisInfinity:
Thanks for all the replies. I bought it 2 weeks ago and I'm really happy with it. Have that famous issue with the touchscreen, the rightmost side of the screen not sensing touch for a couple of seconds after display wake up, but it isn't an dealbraker.
[7 Mozart General] verynuclear:
Congratulations

The touch screen issue is not a big problem at all, you will never feel it with time.

Enjoy the most sexiest cell phone. ;)
[7 Mozart General] KrisInfinity:
Thanks. Yeah I already got used to it, the only time it is noticeable is when you want to record a video, since the video button is in the corner. I pinned the camera to start so by the time i open the application the screen becomes responsive.

Luckily i chevron unlocked it only a few days before they stopped offering the service. Now I'm starting game development on this promising platform :)

[Motorola Atrix 2] dolph8886:
Great post, this may be a bit preemptive but my first questions are;

What is an FXZ and is it used the same way an sbf is?

What are the recovery options before(if any) and after there is an unlocked bootloader?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes, great post. Mods, please sticky this.

Jim
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
An fxz file is the same as an sbf, and you would use RSD Lite to restore your phone with.

With and without a bootloader unlock CMW will still be the best ways for recovery. The fxz file and rsd is still the only way out of a soft brick and we don't have that just yet.

help ?? im dumb
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You are not doing it right.

It is power off with a batt pull! Then hold the center of the volume up/down button (in otherwords hold both vol up and down together), then put the batt back in and keep holding the volume buttons and power on, and hope it comes up to the recovery, where you can select AP fastboot, to flash with the fxz.

Tell your friend next time, to NEVER pull that crap again, and to ALWAY come check this site first, and he can ask us questions here. We do not even have ICS for this phone yet, so I am guessing that what he got was NOT really ICS but GB with some other crap to make it look similar to ICS, along with a build.prop edit, to make the settings look like ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] TheWreckHER:
Trust me he knows what he did! I want to help him. I did what you said. It is not going on or anything. Only when plugged into charger it goes on Motorola logo. I'm giving him my old galaxy s and im going to work on this phone
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You MUST power it COMPLETLY off, after you plug it in, you might have to pull the batt with it plugged in, and the put the batt back in the phone, with out turning back on. What it needs to do is charge with out trying to power up, or you will NEVER get it into fastboot to flash it. You will know it is charging, because ONLY the little white light by the speaker above the Motorla logo will light up, just leave it plugged in like that for AT LEAST 8 hours, then try what I posted above after that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] TheWreckHER:
When I plug it in without pressing any buttons, the logo comes on. no blinking light, I cannot turn off unless i pull plug out!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I am telling you it is TOTALLY possible, I have done this countless times, it will take some practice. pull the battery, plug the phone in, hold the power button for as long as you can while it is plugged in and no batt. it should shut off, put the batt back in, and the light should come on. You might have to play with the order and timing a little, but it does work. Otherwise you will have to McGyver a usb cable to the battery to charge it, there is a post in here about that. I have NEVER had to do that, I have always been able to get it to power off, on a hung boot with Dual core M logo and never booting, again it will take some playing with timing and order of operations.

Here is the link to McGyver the usb cable, incase you don't want to play with the above to get the timing and steps right, it took me about 30 min to figure it all out the first time, getting the timing and oder of operations that is:

[Motorola Atrix 2] TheWreckHER:
omg I got the recovery screen!!! Ok so now I need to figure out how to charge the phone lol. Thanks!! Do I need it charged to return bac:Dk to stock? You are wonderful!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes it needs to be 100% charged, for fastboot, because once it is in fastboot the Batt WILL NOT CHARGE, and if it dies during a flash, then there is no reviving it, it WILL be an expensive brick/paper weight.
[Motorola Atrix 2] TheWreckHER:
Wooooo hooo its fixed!!!!! Thank you soooooo much! I had to macguyver it and all that i am on top of the world!

[Motorola Atrix 2] tron05:
I just got my Atrix 2 couple of days earlier... this is my first look at android too

My earlier phone was a Nokia 5800 and here are my first impressions of the Atrix 2

1. Speaker quality is not as good as in 5800- Like a degrade for me

2. Call quality sounds mettalic on Atrix 2

3. Camera is OK, not a huge improvement over 5800

4. Display is awesome... not worth comparing with the resistive screen of 5800

2 questions i have on this phone:

1. Call quality - I searched here and could not get any post on it, doesnt anyone face this issue where the caller's voice sounds like metallic(digitised voice)

2. Apps- By default my phone used about 500MB. Is this normal? At times i check the ''Running Apps'' section and see apps that i have never touched present there.

3. Also whats with the memory clean ups? Doesnt the apps exit completely when exited?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Stupid question, but is there not a 2.3.6. fxz for us to flash back to the current version rather than fxz'ing to 2.3.5. and then OTA'ing to 2.3.6.? I may have asked this before, as well as it may have already been asked by others. Just couldn't recall...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nope. We were lucky to get a leaked version of the 2.3.5 fxz, we are really not even supposed to have that. You can thank JRW 28, because he reached out to the XDA member that got it for us, sorry but I can't remember who that was right now.

We will also not have one for ICS, so it will be a three step process at that point.

It is Moto that has made this thing almost impossible to work on. At this point I so can't wait for my SGSIII to arrive next week.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
There is a menu when in calls where you can change the profile of tone..... I noticed the same issue and tend to use the more bass setting (voices sounded dim like a tin can phone)).....500mb sounds about average..... Yes apps you do not initiate will be running either set on boot or they might be relied on by other apps..... Many apps from what I have noticed tend to run after closed unless stopped by task manager or set on auto end list..... hope that helps.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] tron05:
Found the setting to change call quality. Will play with it until it sounds better.

Yesterday i was made aware of a feature where i can connect pen drives or mouse to my phone. I bought a non-branded cable(micro USB male(Type B) to USB female connector) and connected a USB pen drive to my phone, but nothing happened... there was no notification og a USB device been added. Does Atrix 2 support this feature??
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
As for the usb dongler I remember it being discussed but do not think it ever went any where past would it work..... try the search and you might find some mentions..... From the fact when you plugged it in and nothing happen would lead me to believe there might be a driver needed for it to work.....I know someone on here could chime in and offer a definitive yes or no..... I would luv to have additional removable storage......
[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
I'm pretty sure that you can connect a thumb drive to the phone, but you'd have to use a powered USB hub...the phone itself doesn't have the wiring to give power through the USB port, so you have to have a plug-in variety or else you've just got a device sitting there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sa_droid:
I am in Cambodia and I just got my Atrix2 several days ago. Yesterday i OTA my Atrix2 to v.2.3.6 and then I rooted the phone. Unfortunately after I try a mod, Blurhome2.apk, my phone restarted and never come back, just shows red M logo. Today I try to flash FXZ to v2.3.6 to get back my Atrix2. I tried to replace some files as said in this post. But it keeps giving error " Failed flashing process. 3/18 flash mbmloader" mbmloader.bin"-> Phone returned Fail...". now on every restart, my phone will enter to AP Fastboot. Please help!
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
did you make sure to use the correct fxz for your region? that is the error you get if you try to flash the wrong one.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sa_droid:
I used the FXZ for US ATT, because I already OTA to 2.3.6. I have the FXZ for Asia Retail "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip" but I don't know how to flash it to my 2.3.6. There is only guide in this post including the required files to add to FXZ of US ATT version. I really appreciate your kind help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I think you can replace with the same files. Just do everything it says to do with the ATT one, but use the asia retail instead. Try that then report back. Don't worry, you will be able to get your phone back.
[Motorola Atrix 2] reza2361:
Hello

I can not get access to the phone memory

I need to do certain work

In size approximately 4 GB memory card is visible from S.

But there is no access

Please help. Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] sa_droid:
I see in the replace folder that there is an XML file with the same (or almost the same) name of the FXZ file (InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.xml). I think there must be some relation between the XML file to be replaced and the FXZ. Another thing is that the content of FXZ of Asia Retail is more than that of US ATT. Actually my error is exactly that as in this post "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721218" at number 5. I will ask if it could be possible to restore the FXZ for Asian Retail.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I just thought of an easier way to get you restored. Most of the time you only really need to do system. download the moto-fastboot utility (it's similar to normal fastboot but you MUST use it instead or it will not work) and the fxz for your region. Extract the fxz and put the system.img from it and moto-fastboot in the same folder. open a command prompt in that folder (hold shift and right click) and type

moto-fastboot.exe flash system system.img
moto-fastboot.exe erase userdata

obviously you need to have your phone in fastboot mode to do that. it does the exact same thing as rsd, just only the 2 important steps, flashing system and wiping data.)

Let me know how that works for you. It may not since you have had flash failures, but we'll see.

moto-fastboot: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=635584&d=1308928440 you should actually extract it and put all the things in it in the folder with system.img

Good luck!

[Motorola Atrix 2] sa_droid:
Your method works! Thank you. However, as I check system status, I am still at 2.3.6 (system versionL 55.1.27.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03). When I check for update, I was shown with an OTA update, but after download, install and reboot, the phone show me that the update was failed. What should I do now?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I forgot, you should probably flash boot as well with the same process. it won't update because you have the 2.3.6 kernel.
[Motorola Atrix 2] sa_droid:
I really thank you very much for your help. Your method works for me! After flashing boot, my phone can be updated with no problem. However, I just get the feeling that my phone is more prone to signal loss. It is very frustrating somehow, because it is my primary phone, so when the phone got no signal, no one can call me until I know and reset the phone but turning the airplane mode on and off.

This is a very helpful post. Very high quality.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
Ok guys, I've got a real problem. I'm sure the answer is here in the forums somewhere, because I'm almost positive that I've read it. I'm not having any luck finding it so far, however.

I tried to Return to Stock script for my phone today. It's worked just fine for me before, so I didn't really have any hesitation about using it. Unfortunately (My fault, dangit) I had a second window open when I started, and when I went to close it, I clicked on the wrong dang X.

So now I'm borked.

I get

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.65

Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected

I've tried the FXZ through RSD Lite. I get a flash failure every time on step one.

I know that I'm doing something wrong here, but quite frankly I'm sleep deprived and am freaking out a little, heh.

If I can't get this working, I guess I'll have to run over it with my car or something and take it back to Best Buy.

Edit: I still get problems using RSDLite, and I did replace the files in the fxz with those from the replace.zip, since I was on 2.3.6. I'm trying the fastboot method right now, flashing system.img, have been for the last few minutes.

Edit 2: How long does this normally take? Been flashing system.img for about an hour now, and it's just sitting there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jsmith5876:
I had the same situation, my problem was the PDA Net app. It was trying to tether while I was trying to run RSD. It was my first attempt with RSD (messed up so many things with Titanium backup). I would think something similar is happening in your situation. I can't remember exactly what I did to get it to clear but once I did it immediately started to run (RSD) and restored it to complete stock form.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
yeah, this is not good. if it is not flashing with rsd lite or manual fastboot, you could be screwed, and that is tough to do. it should only take a few minutes at most to flash system. I would PM jimbridgman, he is the best of us here, and he is your best hope. Good luck, and keep us updated. see if you can get it to do a normal powerup, bp tools or recovery, from some of those you could be able to fix it, but no promises.

[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
OK, got it working.

I have flashed (or tried to, rather) every way that I could think of...one click script, RSDLite, manual fastboot and moto-fastboot commands. I tried all of these with the modded fxz for 2.3.6, with the basic fxz (downloaded 3 different times to rule out file corruption), and the modified fxz with the altered boot.img and xml file that I found...somewhere...on this board. Jim linked to it in a thread. They would recognize my phone, but nothing would flash. My OEM cable was plugged in to a stable port, it charged, and I could even browse files, etc. Apparently it wouldn't flash, however. I swapped out cables, and flashed the modded fxz for 2.3.6 with no problems.

All over a cable. Yeesh.

Thanks to everyone who responded here and through PMs!

Edit: stupid autocorrect kept making fxz into FDA...I had some wild years, but I never flashed the FDA!
