[Motorola Atrix 2] twostep665:
For the price this phone is great. It is not too big and its not too small. Love how it feels in my hand. Just hope we get ICS on it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
I can almost guarantee that we are not getting an official ICS upgrade. However lfaber06 is working on a port of CM9 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427026

It might take a couple of months to get fully functional.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sillk04:
I just purchased my Atrix 2 about three weeks ago, and I too upgraded from the Captivate. I have not found a whole lot that I miss about the Captivate. The GPS never worked right, and the captivate was extremely glitchy in my opinion. The Atrix2 I have never had an GPS issue, it is 4g so a whole lot faster, the dual core processor is extremely nice, and the battary last about twice as long. you will want to purchase a SD card, downgrading from 16gb to the 8gb on the Atrix, but the Atrix does come with a 2gb SD card so you are only loseing 6gb in reality. The only thing that took some getting use to for me, which I have found an alternate way around this, is that I had to use Motocast in order to access the Atrix on a PC, unlike the Cappy which was almost plug and play. Would definitly recommend the Atrix 2 over the Captivate!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Motocast isn't necessary for file transfer... just get the usb cable and plug it in to your computer, after the drivers install you can choose USB Mass Storage mode or Windows Media Sync or Motorola Media Link. USB Mass Storage is the best way to transfer files (IF you don't have any apps on the SD card! - that's one problem with our A2 :()
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Just wondering... what's with so many A2 users coming from the Captivate?
[Motorola Atrix 2] bigbooty:
Who knows?? I did the same and couldn't be happier. This phone runs better out of the box than the cappy does with any gingerbread rom stock or custom. No lag at all, great screen, GPS that actually works and no problems at all so far. I had an sgs2 for a week and returned it for the A2. Glad I did.
[Motorola Atrix 2] big ach:
How can you almost guarantee that we will not be getting official ics?

And for the record, i absolutely love my Atrix 2, one of the best phones I've ever bought!

Sent from my Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 with Verizon 4G LTE
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Just take a look around this board, it has been said many times, by several of us in here, besides we have seen absolutely no testing releases of it using chessecake. At least both the razr and the bionic have reported getting pre-releases of ICS this way, yet we have seen nothing even close to ICS being tested. The "BIG" update we are about to get is most likely 2.3.7.

I encourage you do a lot more "reading" in here. You are like the 4th person in the last several days who states this same thing about ICS, or requests proof that it might not come... It might still show up "officially" for our phone, but we will have a custom version way before then.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ubersoft:
My response to the original question:

In terms of actual hardware I really love this phone. Gorgeous display, and it gets pretty decent battery life (for an android phone) even with its stock battery, and with the Motorola extended battery combined with JuiceDefender I don't have to worry about it running out of juice no matter how long I'm using it during the day (unless the GPS is turned on). As an added bonus, the phone is so slim that even with the extended battery it looks like a regular-sized smartphone.

My main beef with the Atrix 2 is that it appears as if Motorola has abandoned it in a remarkably short amount of time. It refuses to make any statements about the phone in a way that reminds me of Sideshow Bob in an old, old Simpsons cartoon ("These are the names of the people I am NOT going to murder...")

But it turns out that in a pretty short amount of time developers here have figured out how to work around Motorola's refusal to unlock the phone and whether Moto supports it or not, there are now roms available that make full use of the Atrix 2 hardware.

So, the shorter version: it's a great phone and I expect I'll be using it for a while, but I'll probably think twice before I buy another Motorola phone again because their interest in their customer base appears to end immediately after the phone is bought.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tcf38012:
I love it :D

Love it even more with lfabers SC rom just waiting for bootloader unlock
[Motorola Atrix 2] throwawayaccount9500:
Wifi is completely unusable. It's a shame a phone can get released without wifi working. Phone needs ICS or unlocked bootloader. Shame on Moto
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sillk04:
I would say alot of us are in the same boat, we jumped on the Cappy when it was supposedly the best android phone ATT offered, and we all figured out this phone had a lot of problems, and kindly left a bad taste in our mouths, so when it is renewal time, you have the GS2 or the Atrix 2. Bought into the Samsung hype last year not happening this year.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jgr208:
So the wifi is bad on the phone?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deliberate:
i don't think so. Works good for me
[Motorola Atrix 2] SeekerLoki:
I haven't had any WIFI problems. I have read some posts about people having problems with a type of wireless router. I can't remember the make / model.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jgr208:
How is the battery life too? Also how is the skin over android?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Battery life is above average. I can't give you numbers because I use my phone sporadically, but it's more than enough.

I actually like the skin over android. Some people really can't stand the look and feel of Motoblur (mostly the older versions) but this newer version is really 3Dish and is quite smooth.

EDIT- also I have no problems with Wifi. I think that our phone just doesn't like certain routers... however most (same thing goes for the OG Atrix). I'm not sure about the A2, but I know on the OG Atrix most Linksys, Netgear, Cisco, and Asus routers work while most D-Link and Belkin routers don't. I personally have never had wifi problems on my A2.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sillk04:
+1 I was only getting about 8 to 10 hours on my cappy, my battary was dead when I made it home from work, and on the A2 I still have battary when I go to bed, it is flashing low battary, but at least I have some battary. I use my phones very heavily.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tizio13:
I have just received my transformer prime and I am having trouble tethering my GSM galaxy nexus. The firmware has been upgraded to the latest build of ICS for both devices. I get a notification telling me that the connection via bluetooth tethering has been successful but I am unable to use it. I have also tried pdanet tablet with no luck. Is it possible to tether the phone with the tablet via bluetooth at all? Should I just bite the bullet and use wifi instead?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] youngnex:
i know your talking about bluetooth, but if you mean ad-hoc... its been removed from ICS ... sorry
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tizio13:
What do you mean by ad-hoc tethering? I have seen this term around the forums but not sure what it refers to.

I am able to do do wifi tethering just fine on my prime. The reason I would like to try it over bluetooth is to save battery on my phone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] patkitch:
You're in for some trouble. I have a Gnex and a Android Tablet. There's an issue with the Gnex dating back to last year where the BT connection will drop after a few minutes. Its a gigantic pain in the ass and to date I haven't found a fix.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dataslycer:
you should really get a cable..... it comes in handy if you brick your phone or there would be something wrong you could use adb to fix.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
Well i installed GingerDx v022 + addons for stock, when i try to enter the music it says : SD card is not inserted... i tried to factory reset and other things but nothing helped me, or i even try to mount SD card its not recognized.. Help
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
Well try to start your phone withou card and then insert it, you also can try to install rom again( did you do full wipe before and after rom installation, of not you should), and also backup your sd and format it....
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
Well i tried without card too... and i installed rom several times, yeah i wipe it before but not after, because if i install ginger and wipe it after installation it will be erased?

Btw how to backup up and format card?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
No, the Full-Wipe does not erase the SD card. It just clears out the data partition and the dalvik cache partition.

As for backing up ...

Since you said your phone does not recognize the card you can't backup through mass storage mode.

Turn off the phone, take out the SD card and put it into a mSD card reader (if you have one).

Then backup the contents onto your computer (simply copy them over).

Once your data is backed up you can actually use Windows to format the card (FAT32!!!).

On related questions:

Did the card work with the Stock ROM?

What kind of card is it? (Manufacturer, Size and Class)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
Well i will try and i will reply u soon,

Btw : Sankdisk micro SD 4 GB

Card worked with the stock rom and AtiFroyo v5
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Ok, so far we hadn't any reports about Sandisk mSD giving trouble; just one Verbatim mSD and some Kingston Class 6/10.

As you wrote it worked with AtiFroyo - any chance you were using that ROM with the Alfs kernel (contrary to the "installed GingerDx v022 + addons for stock" you wrote in the OP post)?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
No, It is Stock kernel while using AtiFroyo and everything worked just fine
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
Well its not card, since i own sandisk 4gb card and its in my phone.....just format your card and try with empty card, just put it in your phone and see would it rcognize it or no.....Or try flash custom kernel..maybe it would solve your problem, since you are using gdx alfs kernel is best decision
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
Well i tried to format and everything but still says : your phone does not have an SD card inserted.. annoying :/, but i dont get it why everything works fine on AtiFroyo.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
The last thing that comes to mind ...

Any chance you made a mistake at flashing GingerDX? That might explain that weird problem ...

GingerDX requires to be flashed through ClockworkMod recovery. If you flashed the ROM through xRecovery, and it booted, weird malfunctions are to be expected.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
Nope i flashed it through CWM recovery :(...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsaklein:
I know thats its a silly question but did you use cwm when you install gdx or xrecovery,?! Coz it should be installed via cwm, if you had unlocked bootloader instal custom kernel and see, or try to install any other rom, like FroyoPro and see does this prblem solved if it is try to flash gdx over it again
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
I used cwm to instal gdx....., i cant unlock bootloader because battery is 11W38..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Well, in this case you better consider dsaklein's suggestion to maybe try Alfs (in case your phone is safe for boot loader unlocking) instead of the Stock kernel.

This seems to be one of the rare weird problems where something that's supposed to work simply won't work ... rendering one out of ideas.

As for the "safe boot loader unlocking" ...

Turn off the phone, take out the battery.

Look at the sticker below.

If the date code reads 11W29 or later (11W30, 11W31, ...) don't even try to unlock the boot loader - you would only join a meanwhile large "club" of hard bricked devices.

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Ok, you guys posted quite fast ...

If you can't unlock the boot loader then at least try another Gingerbread ROM (not requiring a custom kernel) ...

In case the problem persists we at least know that there's a compatibility problem with a SanDisk mSD and 2.3 series ROMs.

EDIT: Yes dsaklein - I read that you're using the same SD without any problems. My thought is it might have to do with the revamped hardware of the 11W29+ devices.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
Maybe if i buy a new SD card maybe will resolve the problem?, Or can u give me a link for another Gingerbread ROM to try?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Stornmix is popular among a good amount of users.

As for a mSD ... I'm using a Kingston 8GB Class 4 on a 11W06 device with GingerDX v022 on Stock Kernel just fine.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioKralj:
I Think that i will stick to AtiFroyo its running perfect on my phone! Thx guys!

Hey guys now i'm on FroyoPRO v24 and its working fine, everything is good :), but still i dont get it why gingerDx doesn't work for me );
[HTC EVO 3D] s_superman:
Hey guys, simple question really...

since it was proved that the sensation and evo hardware are mostly similar

so whats keeping us from shooting 1080p video ?:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I THINK it has to do with having two cameras. I'm not 100% sure.

BUT that's not very important. Recording 1080p on your cellphone is just foolish. File sizes would be through the roof and the difference in quality is not THAT big from what I've seen. It's just more pixels.

I think it was just a tradeoff, 3D for 1080p. I believe the Gnex can do 1080p with its 5MP shooter, so I doubt the 5MP cameras we have are to blame.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Even when it can do 720p, it's not even that good...

Sensation's camera looks much better than ours.
[HTC EVO 3D] s_superman:
I dont think its the dual sensor thingy..

cuz all camera applications work with no problems so far..

Yeah lots of phones are able to do that with a 5mp cam.. thats what made me wonder in the first place

and I know its 1080p is too much

as for me I dont even use 720p :)

but I just want to know why we cant ...
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
It could be done EVO 3d camera takes better pics then Samsung epic can. All about the lighting and clean lens.

Just need a kernel and code for it..
[HTC EVO 3D] munsterrr:
i dont want to be the debbie downer(wommpppp woooooommpp) here but I have never understood shooting 1080p with such a small/crap sensor anyway. The quality would still suck. I believe this applies to all phones. Maybe when new sensor tech comes out but now, its just a marketing number.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
camera driverers are kernel related. you would need to write a new driver, new app, pretty much rebuild the camera functions from scratch. it is possible, but an ass load of work and like somebody else mentioned, its a phone, and few phones, including this one, have the hardware quality (because it is much more than just size of sensors) to make it worth while. not like it will have gopro quality ever...
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
Having owned both, I have to strongly disagree with that statement.
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
Oh just playing with the epic 4g in sprint I could see the camera absolutely raped my evo 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] eboogie33:
just hate the fact they lied about it at first ya know . Just saw 720p on a friends et4g WOW!!!

I would settle for that 720p any day lol

[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
again having owned both. epic touch camera did in fact rape my Evo 3D. owned them both side by side. shot the same scene with each phone and viewed the results on my laptop.

that bring said. that was about the only thing I liked over the e3d. the et4g still wreaked of Samsung and their lack of overall build quality. the earpiece was terrible, the screen was not as responsive, the screen was low resolution, just utterly **** overall.

only other thing I thought was decent was the battery life. I got a solid day out of it.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
The video quality is limited by how fast the memory card can save data. To save 1080p on a low end memory card would require a huge amount of data to be compressed in real time, which would both be difficult to do resource wise and also significantly lower the video quality.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
yes, and to ad to what Haus is saying, and he knows this already, so it's for the OP, the disk write speed is only one factor out of the several that go into making this possible.

There are image processing limits that are hardware related to the EVO 3D, and let's be serious just about anything that is a cell phone, that would make shooting in true HD simply a waste of space and dev time. that fact of it is that you cannot make the light sensors, image sensors, and glass, in the camera any better. Sure, like i said you could built new drivers, basically engineer/re-engineer the firmware to make 1080p happen, but just would do you any good. you are still limited by the device's hardware.

it would still look like **** compared to a go pro or REAL camera. lol

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tefloncoated:
Folks,

In video calls i see my camera/self in the little window, but no outgoing video feed to the other party, they get the audio but see nothing, black screen. Tested it with Fring - it only records audio, no video...

I tested video calling with the stock unrooted and rooted 2.3.5, 2.3.6 and with Rocket Rom v19. Same results...

Has else anyone had this problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alphezxd:
Hi,

Tried searching but couldn't find anything on the subject, so gonna ask here;

I just got my Note, and rooted it and installed CWM, and everything seemed fine until I tried flashing my first ROM. After doing a wipe + flashing the .zip file from internal SD everything installs, I reboot but when Its booted; the touch doesn't respond.

I do suspect there are something I missed here, because if I restore from backup, everything works fine here.

Anyone who can point me in the right direction? Am I supposed to flash more than the ROCKET-v20-LA4-eybee1970.zip ?

This is my first android device, so bare with me here :)

Thanks,

Kristian

thank you !
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
What recovery are you using now? Installing recoveries is one of the easiest things to do.

I'm going to assume you are using the Rom Manager recovery which you would have installed through the app. If you go to the thread for the

"romracer" recovery

you will see there are zip files which you can then use Rom Manager's recovery to flash and, voila, you are running a new recovery. :)

If this is not the case, let me know the details and maybe I can help.

As far as Blur based ROMs, there is

Aura

,

Wet Dream

,

Darkside

,

Cherry Pi/Pi Crust

,

Homebase

, and

GingerMod.

They are all stable AFAIK, it just really depends on what added features/functionality each one brings to the table that best suits your needs/wants.
