[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssmr2t:
Actually, my company is a corporate account with Att and we are a pretty large organization (s-oney) ;) ... and, recently I was on an international business trip and my phone was not working well at all. Well, of course Att wants to protect their existing customer base (especially the larger accounts) and offered me a brand new replacement which is the i777 to keep me happy.. they said I don't need to upgrade my account or pay anything... Its just cause I said I will complain to our administration department who is responsible for the corporate accounts if they don't make me smile.. so this is their offer.

:D so, I think its a functional unit and has nothing wrong with it :D

Atrix vs i777

i777 has:

-A better screen

-A more powerful CPU and GPU

-Better community support

-Better cameras

-Touchwiz (an improvement to Android

Atrix has:

-Webtop

-Finder reader

-More games without rooting

-Blur (a detriment to Android)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Let's not forget Motorola's stance towards developers is even more awful than Samsung's.

Locked bootloaders for the lose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] k4zyn:
I have had both, my Atrix was stolen so I got the SGS2 as a replacement, and I wouldn't even think of going back. It's a superior phone, period.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssmr2t:
Okay, thanks for the input guys.. I just placed my order for a full free replacement kit. I also get free overnight shipping because "I always get subpar customer service from att"....

LOL

Thanks for all the help! My name is Alex, and I am excited to be a part of the new community.

So, you had a chance to use both, you know how Atrix is like and now have sample (through your work) using i777. Do you like i777 better or Atrix.

When I got mine I was researching between i777 and Atrix. I end up with i777 because it was the best choice for me. As stated in the earlier post Atrix has Blur (I hate Blur), so my choice was clear to get i777.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PatriotXT92:
I was a previous owner of a Motorola Atrix and after switching to this phone I am really happy I did. There is a huge difference between the Atrix and Galaxy S II forum community. There are way to many trolls and rude people on the Atrix board and the development was fairly slow in comparison to how it is over here. As a phone the GSII is quite a bit better as well. I would definitively take the GSII over the Atrix any day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] M.k.s:
I have an Atrix. I loved it, screen broke, got a SGSII.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cwc3:
I work next to a Radioshack. They are always giving their employees free AT&T phones. They always come to me to put new ROMS on them.

Did not enjoy blur whatsoever, nor the bootloaders. Could not make that phone anywhere as snappy as SGSII. Not even on the same level if you ask me. Now they have SGSII's next door, and boy are they happy with the stuff I do to their phones.

They still don't know **** about them... Always doing wifi speed tests against iPhones like that is some sort of benchmark. I lol a little everytime I flash a new kernel for them and they say their wifi speeds went up a little.

We have got to have one of the easiest phones to root/rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] capathy21:
I also have both. I loved the Atrix but after dealing with the Sleep Of Death issue, and not getting cooperation from ATT to replace it since I bought it used. I used my wife's upgrade in December and picked up the SGS2. I dug my Atrix out the other day to flash CM9 on it for kicks and its a HUGE step back as far as display and build of device. Definitely a good choice to switch to the I777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I'm surprised that this is a discussion. I found the Atrix to be atrocious.

Sgs2 over Atrix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cdjaney:
Just in case future readers care...(since the OP already made his decision)...

Came from 3gs months ago...got i777...thought I had screen burn so exchanged for Atrix 2...had it for less than a week and went back to get another i777. just liked it that much better...couldn't stay away.

Motorola advantages

Clearer small text with qHD display

Slightly louder in call volume

Nice grippy back cover (felt no desire to get a cover for it)

Samsung advantages - all else

More vivid display

Slightly quicker overall

Very much liked TouchWiz UI over others

Like I said, pretty much all else went to i777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wayner65:
I currently have both the i777 and the Atrix 2. If you actually use your phone as a phone and GPS navigation aid, Atrix 2 is hands down the better device. Call quality, data speeds, gps lock and accuracy, overall excellent build quality, as well as a better screen (I know you AMOLED fanboys hate that one) make the Atrix 2 the winner. Yes, the A2 locked bootloader is a drawback but...

I use the Atrix 2.

I play with the i777.

I returned the Galaxy Nexus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Actually the i777 has a far better screen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Muffunz:
I actually had the unbearable misfortune of being stuck on my dad's Atrix for a few days last week. The difference was ridiculous. Compared to the i777 the Atrix is laggy, tiny, buggy (stock Atrix, UnNamed i777), and overall worse.

Make the trade before they take the offer away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] madquack:
Had the Atrix and the i777 and honestly the only thing that impressed me about the i777 was the screen.

As far as the Atrix goes, I didn't give two ****s for a finger print sensor or the useless laptop dock. Good idea but poor execution. Blur is absolute garbage and I got rid of that **** the day I bought the phone.

GS2i777 no complaints except the battery doesn't last as long. Atrix battery is slightly superior. Touchwiz although highly improved and refined versus Blur, I got rid of it too and used CM7 with ADW Ex on both phones and they both kicked major ass. Battery life on both phones was exceptional.

Performance wise, I don't know what you guys are doing with your phones like trying to power a goddamn nuclear fusion reactor or something but after highly modifying them to no end, I find them equal as far as performance goes. I don't care for any high intensity graphic and visually stunning games. I use both phones for work, email, occasional words with friends, a ton of assorted games and apps and mainly checking the web, sports, news, stocks, facebook every now and again.

I'm not talking about silly pointless benchmarks, I'm talking about real world performance, GPS was equal for both. The only reason I bought the i777 was for the screen. When I let someone mess around with my phone, every single one of them had the "awwww damn this screen is amazing" look on their faces.

I'm not starting a war with anyone, they're both badass phones. Everyone has their own opinions obviously so if you don't agree with mine then please flush it down the toilet.

Sold my i777 for the i9100 now my phone rapes all. :-D

You can't have this on the X8 because of the following reasons:

Well, have much fun trying to port the ROM for the devices mentioned above to the ARMv6VFP of the W/X8.

[XPERIA X8 General] boisdulait:
I've never said that he's working for nothing..

Just that x8 has hardware limits.. It's very difficult for me to try explain it in english..

Look. Try to port windows 7 on a 800mhz with 256mb ram.. It will be extremely difficult.. I think it's a little the same.

Course he's doing great job.. I tested it and it's running well.. but I'm perplexed that we can run ICS with all of his fonctionnality on our x8.

But I hope I'm wrong ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mottyengel:
Hey guys, havent really ever posted much but here goes:

I just bought the note, and switched to at&t just for the phone, i absolutely love the idea of having a small tablet that fits in your pocket that also makes your calls.

but.....

I'm comming from sprint's galaxy s2 (epic 4g touch). That phone was superfast. I feel like this phone absolutely crawls in comparison, its laggy and jumpy and things just take so long to open up... switching between things isnt as instantaneuos as before.. Another surefire way i know that something is definitely worse is that before on my gs2 i was able to run adownloader, downloading as many as 4 torrents at a time without the phone slowing down to terribly and i was even able to watch avi videos normally while downloading. now, the phone comes to a complete stop.

Now, to be fair, i did root my sg2 a few months ago and installed a custom rom but i never overclocked it, but maybe thats why that phone was faster. could it be that when devs start making custom roms for this one it will "speed up"?

Because im sorry this phone is so laggy now.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] richard371:
Make sure you don't have energy saver turned on that could be causing this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukic:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] greyhulk:
I noticed that every once in a while I have to do a "clear memory" in the task manager to speed up the Note. Not sure what's going on, maybe a memory leak. It won't be long until we have ICS and I'm sure that will speed it up quite a bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
You mean system power saving option? Or is there another option called energy saver? Just checking you never know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
There seem to be HUGE performance differences between the LTE notes. I got lucky and have a super fast one.

Everything, and I mean everything, is hardcore fast and super smooth. This note is faster than the H+ galaxy nexus and much faster than the SGS2 Skyrocket side-by-side. Quadrant (new) scores around 2900-3200 and I'm totally stock with no modifications. Apps open instantly, there is no waiting, no stuttering and if you search for my posts, you'll see my screenshots of over 5 hours of screen on time with over 21 hours of unplugged time in an LTE zone (Atlanta).

My point being: if your Note isn't working as I have just described, be aware that there are notes out there that do, mine being one of them. Go exchange it. When you get one that performs as it should, this is the fastest and best performing phone on the market currently. I've tested it side-by-side with the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
And yes, when roms start coming in, this phone will scream even more. Everyone *****ing about it not having an exynos. Here's a nugget of info: you can overclock the hell out of snapdragon, much more than exynos. Clock-for-clock exynos is faster but when devs jump in, snapdragon will be faster in the long run due to overclockability. You watch, this processor will break 2ghz and still have great battery life once smart processor scaling gets implemented into ROMs.

Hell, Da_G was near 2ghz (1.93) before the phone was officially publicly released. In time, these clocks will become stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iLAofficial:
Stock benchmark...

was like 2500 on quadrant but then I rooted and used the overclock kernel and I'm at 3400...I don't know how people get 2900-3200 stock highly questionable. My friend got one the same day I did and his stock is at the exact same score about 2500.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HarmonyFlame:
I pretty much agree with this guy. My note performs absolutely flawlessly. I have root, but have not installed overclocked kernel or overclocking apps. Even with a live wallpaper running, my device seems to fly by. @OP Possibly a resource hogging app?

Sent from the best mobile device ever --Samsung Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Get on YouTube. Go look up the phonedog ATT Galaxy Note review. In it, the quadrant benchmark score is 1700ish, he's using totally stock software with static wallpaper. Yours, at 2500 was 800 over his. Quadrant fluctuations? Random variables? Different note performance? My claim of 2900-3200 shouldn't be "questionable", as if your incinuating I'm lying, when there is already 800 points difference between a huge YouTube reviewer and yours.

I hate benchmarks. Don't care what they say as I find it rarely relates to real-performance. Already have quadrant uninstalled from my note. Yet people use it and live by it, so when discussing performance, I have no choice but to use it for comparison. My note absolutely screams and if yours doesn't, something, somewhere, is wrong.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] buckwheat.phd:
I wouldn't hold your breath. Besides, using golauncher works 100% on this 2.3 version, which for the most part is as stable as they get. I'm not convinced ICS has much to offer outside of a slick GUI. And that's GL does anyway

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vukadmos:
Just out of curiosity, what color is your Note?

My GF has the white one, and I have the carbon blue one. Just like you, hers keeps hitting quadrant scores of 2800 +, reaching up to ~ 3100. Mine has topped at 2800, hitting usually ~ 2500.

Needless to say, quadrant isn't very consistent, and hers sometimes hits around 2300, but mine has never gone over 2800.

I know that benchmark scores are in no way a reliable way of measuring a device's performance, but after paying a hefty price for the phone, and seeing that one next to mine which was also purchased at the exact same time and has the exact same specs is getting a consistent "better performance", makes me wonder if I should ask for an exchange.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Edit ---

Forgot to mention, the overall phone performance seems to be smoother on her Note. Mine has some lag, mostly on the home screen, whereas hers barely lags at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] backtothemac:
I have the Black one, and it is laggy as hell. I mean horrible. Like I keep debating taking it back.

What a great topic. I don't run quadrant cuz honestly, I don't care about score. I go by every day performance and I hate to admit it,but my note CRAWLS compared to the epic 4g touch. I hope the dev community will fix in time. I honestly don't remember how my epic 4g touch ran when it was stock but I really don't think it was as laggy as this (almost forgot, I have a white note). Scrolling in the market and on xda app is slow as hell. Sometimes I swipe, and I either get no response at all, or a very delayed response. The only thing keeping me from returning it is the incredible screen and the hope that the devs can help. I'm using dags oc kernel (1.83 ghz) with v2 of the only available rom.

When i first picked mine up i was a little dissapointed in the lagginess of the stock rom, mainly the super clunky tw launcher more than anything. Not to mention all the unnessecary bloat constantly running in the back. Dont give up hope on this beast tho. It has the specs to do very well, it just needs the right rom to shine.

Im running tpc v2 and da g oc kernel and it is super snappy and very smooth now, however im not normally one to oc, right now we dont have very many rom options. Im confident once dev really takes off on this device and we can move away from the stock firmware this thing will still perform well even without the oc
