[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
You won't be disappointed. I have been loving mine since day one. Really, it's the best mobile device out right now, and at the risk of sounding like a fan boy, I completely agree with Jim. I may get the Nexus 4 in a couple of weeks, just to see what a 'full Google' phone is like, but as far as everything goes with the SGSIII, it is an amazing piece of hardware. There's many great ROMs pit and the development is wonderful. I am currently using a SlimROM version for mine. It's awesome, and I can't tell you how happy you'll be with it - especially after having come from the Atrix 2...

[Motorola Atrix 2] tchsvy:
Yeah, it will be quite a transition from a locked down A2 to SGSIII.. on a side note there is nothing wrong in being a fan boy as long as you are not a fan of iCrap :P

Just going a bit deep into the topic though, I am loving what OEMs are bringing to the table as far as the hardware is concerned, be it the HTC with One X+ and Butterfly/Droid DNA, Moto with the RAZR line, Sony with Xperia Z/ZL, LG with Optimus G etc.. but as the time passes by every OEM seems to be walking on this locked or restricted bootloader path.. that's something that is disappointing..
[Motorola Atrix 2] antmiu2:
hi, just a simple questions.. would you choose the motorola razr droid or the motorola atrix hd? and why?
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul.phatak:
if this is only about these two phone then surely RAZR is best ..... cause atrix hd has lowest development and last time i checked atrix hd forum it doesnt have single ROM !!!

but why go for locked MOTO !! .... go samsung/sony/htc !!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Scottyfer:
It depends if you're looking to root and mod your phone. The HD has a better processor, but dev support is basically non-existent.

In my opinion, don't buy Motorola, there are too many better options for about the same price as any of their devices.
[Motorola Atrix 2] antmiu2:
of course but the thing is . .. i have them both in my hands and im trying to decide which is a better upgrade from my atrix 2 :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Like Scottyfer said, it just depends on what you want to do with it. I have a friend with an Atrix HD and another with a Razor, and plainly put, I'm unimpressed with both. In my opinion, if you want to upgrade from ANY Motorola phone then go with a Samsung.

Pre ordered the Xperia Z already. One thing that stands out about the Z is its slim form factor, looking clean and one of the first few phones to boot with 1080 display. Will keep you guys updated on my impressions with the phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Start over with flashing ezbase 3.0 or 4.0.(find it in insanity rom thread) with pit 512 and repatition ticked and untick reboot and flash via Odin.when flash is done unplug your phone remove battery,put it back and use 3button combo to get in recovery,under advanced press fix permissions and reboot.if u still get fc's go back to recovery/mount/storage and format system and data and flash a rom from recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michelangelo:
Thank you a lot for the answer. I have tried your step-by-step (just EZBase 2.0) nevertheless not working even flashing from recovery. I guess the problem is deeper. Whatever I use (Odin/recovery mode) every time internal memory is not cleaned from old files.

Also using fdisk in adb all seems fine until remounting of the /sdcard. Either the problem lies in partition table or....I don't know. I am not able to do any operation on internal SD from command line and that is weird.

When using recovery mode + install, I have to use adb push to upload the zip file, then flash. After restart or umount, zip file has gone, old files are back. Thanks to anybody for other hint what to check.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Sorry for that,sound like a partition mount fault.might be corrupted

somehow.

A long time ago there was some (i think) similar problems try search for "dbdata.tar" fix,but this is a longshot and i think it was in the froyo days,search here in xda and read

OK I found the file.go to (rom) i9000xxjw4 (2.3.6)[19.03.2012] post 76 page 8.

Sorry I cant provide links I'm on my phone

But remember this is a longshot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michelangelo:
Thank you a lot! I really do appreciate your attitude. I have found the dbdata.tar in this post but when applied on EZBase 2.0 it started to reboot. Now I reflashed by JVU-RE and waiting on boot screen (I guess it checks rfs vs. ext4), but I really think the issue will be somewhere in the partitions or partition table.

Do you or somebody know where to check partition table? I tried to check via fdisk but no help. I think that the list of files are stored in header of those partitions. Is it possible to rebuild them from OS level or to rebuild the whole mmcblk0? It is Linux, it should be possible. Thanks a lot.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daobi:
I also have this problem. I can partition mmcblk0p1 with FAT32 and mmcblk0p2 with ext4 or whatever, than format the partitions and after reboot (recovery) all files (pictures, documents, etc.) are completely restored. No chance at all to change files oder partitions permanent.

I have a SGS GT-I9000.

Does anybody have an idea? What information can I provide to support diagnosis?

i have flashed my sgs2 with an ICS rom ( official ),

And since then every time i trying to talk with my car hands free by bluetooth the other side hear me only in short bursts.

i have tried to change the rom also tried to change the kernel and no improvement.

also i can't get in to the serviceMode audio menu ( i heard, that bluetooth issue can maybe resolved from there )

Thanx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Have you already wiped cache partition (and Dalvik cache) in recovery?

Maybe that can help.

If not, try another kernel ... such as SpeedMod or Siyah.

Good luck !

Trying to root kindle fire for first time using KFU 0.9.5. Put KFU files/folders into new directory called KFU on root of C: drive. Device drivers seem to install ok and device manager indicate "ADB device" (not "kindle").

when i run kfu normally, it cannot find my kindle. (and "ADB Status offline")

when i run kfu as "administrator" ADB Status shows Online but I get "windows cannot find tools\wget", then many "system cannot find the path specified" errors and i get stuck at the "read me" saying "do NOT unplug kindle if we are stuck here..."

(in both of above, KFU shows boot status as "unknown")

Anything else i can try?

try to follow this steps to steps video from nat3mil.It should be helpful.

But always make sure that you know what you are doing for every single steps you take.even if its a small one.

if not,ask here and wait until you get a reply.

i don't want people to follow my footsteps causing myself trouble.Hope this helps.

And if you patient enough.try to root and flash recovery manually.its safer since you know what you are doing.

Attention!

In light of all the posts that are deleted and/or closed due to many off-topic posts about what device a person should buy, I have created this official thread.

Although XDA is not a place to extensively talk about what device person should buy, some forums permit it. So to help keep the threads a little cleaner, you may post your questions here.

Granted there are other sites more into device reviews and comparisons, but in the interest of keeping some people happy, and to avoid getting posts deleted, this thread is created for people who have no idea what device to get.

In the end, you should still march your happy self to a shop, and play with the devices that are available. Only then will you be satisfied with your purchase.

Any posts elsewhere asking such questions, that should be in this thread, will still be deleted or closed. This includes posting multi-duplicated posts in several forums outside of official threads.

Thanks, and Hope you use this.

First Moscow Desire, Thank you!Since the announcment of possible Photon sequel there are at least 3 running threads on the same subject.

I'm mixed to be honest, the spec's on the new EVO are hot. The "reported" specs on the sequel Photon Q 4G LTE look hot also. Giving a choice, if the Photon keeps CDMA/GSM and kickstand, Photon it is!

[Motorola Photon 4G] mostregularpeople:
Until you're quad-core, I put MoPho up there with anything. There are kernels out to get 1.4ghz which on a tegra2 is more than adequate. For half (or better) the money Photon has HUGE value. SGS3 is right around the corner, though, and we have to expect that several other Quad's are right there with it. (obviously pertaining to US domestic carriers) Waiting is probably the best option, but if that is not an option, the MoPho is serious. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
So, what do the new phones do that the Photon does not do in its size/form factor? I have all the memory and CPU power I need now. Wrt my Intel desktops, I reached the same point several years ago - a quad core 8GB box is more than I need. I understand that some people want more for (1) valid uses like gaming and simulation, (2) hobby purposes - just want to have the latest & I acknowledge as a geek that this is a valid reason! :)

Serious question - I carry an ultralight laptop (Win7), tablet (ICS) and a phone. My Photon's screen is perfectly sized for a phone and my pocket, but not big enough for other uses - BUT, my pockets are not big enough for a tablet. :) So, my phone is pocketable, while tablet and laptop go in the briefcase/bag.

IMHO, Android phones have peaked in terms of size/performance for a pocketable device. They are commodities now - what am I missing?

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

Like your post. Agree.

But - what am I going do with a quad-core and a 4" screen? My second core is rarely used today! :) 1 or 2 cores seems to be plenty for a 4.x" screen. Battery tech is NOT keeping pace with more cores in a pocketable phone. Thoughts?

Is a used Photon right for me?

Hey all...

I'm on Sprint and I have about 17 months left in my contract. I used to have a Samsung Galaxy S2, which I really liked, but I lost it and have had to go back to my old HTC Hero (yikes).

Anyways, so I was going to buy another Galaxy S2, seems like used ones go for around $225 - $250 on ebay, but then I realized that I'm planning a trip to Europe (Iceland and Germany) this summer, and my girlfriend has a CDMA phone (Verizon Galaxy S3, which is a great phone but too much $$$ for me to buy off-contract). I'm hoping to buy prepaid simcards in Iceland and Germany, so I can use data while I'm out and about (especially maps).

So it seems like the Photon is the only recent Android phone on Sprint that has GSM support, and it's a bit cheaper that the Galaxy S2 on eBay. From what I've read online, it seems like the phone is a good choice, with more or less the same specs and screen size as the Galaxy S2. Can anyone give me some advice?

The potential downsides I am worried about are:

The Photon is officially at EOL. (I don't care that much if it works well.)

It seems like there were some conflicting reports about whether the Photon supported GSM 1800? But more recent posts I've read seem to indicate using a prepaid simcard in Europe mostly just works (maybe with having to run a utility to tweak ASNs).

It might not ever get the ICS update. (I don't really care that much - I'm happy using Cyanogen or a similar ROM if I need to.)

It kind of seems from this forum like people are ditching this phone in droves.

Some people seem to think this phone is kind of unreliable.

As far as my usage, I mostly run fairly simple apps like maps, foursquare, nytimes and the web browser, but I like those apps to run fast. Games are not my top priority but I like them OK.

Are there any other GSM / "world" phones on Sprint that might be worth looking into?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Fast2learn:
Photon is very good one

i've been using this phone for 2 weeks, i've trying different ROMs, it's amazing how this phone is rock and fast.

the only problem that i've faced with it is when i unlocked it i've lost the 4G. no way to get it back as you want to use it with any GSM carries in the USA.

but anyone who lives out of US will not face this problem as he will not have to unlock it.

Moreover, it supposed to be an official ICS for photon after 2 months and i'm waiting it.

Now all the available ICS for this phone have major bugs.

ive owned many android phones between me and my wife weve had pretty much every phone from sprint, using the upgrades every year.......she has a s2 i have a photon (atm)

her s2...unrooted stock has an amazing screen very vivid decently fast no lag from what ive seen, sprints 3g blows no 4g in my area and wifi ( my wifi router) blows major ballzack... you can buy one of these (s2) from bestbuy using an upgrade/or new 2yr agreement right now for $49.99.. the photon for $29.99.... the photon as long as it doesnt come loaded with the new ota is a amazing purchase for 29.99 with the ota expect to only be able to root for now until someone fingers unlocking out....but the photon is incredible fast when i first bought it running stock and no root i was amazed at how snappy and receptive it was.... everything loaded so fast (coming from a htc hero mind you ), net was loaded decentl;y quick and the screen was very bright... then i rooted unlocked and flashed roms....(even built a few) still photon impressed me any issues i had charge that puppy up sbf and start all over neverbrick if you would......so many options with from ics,jb,miui,aokp's,PA, **** man list goes on and on..........and with the future promise of a stoock ics the photon is one hell of a purchase.....however......

im up for an upgrade and im looking at the s3 intently....... but at same time im wanting to wait for the next best thing...thought would be the PQ but after reading and reading on the specs and what can be expected of/from it IJDK......thinking of getting away from motorola since they have been so uncooperative with unlocking the bootloader and system updates
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
I personally think no phone right now is a significant upgrade from the Photon, however my mind might change once the Note 2 or the next Nexus device comes out. A lot of current phones are using older gpus which aren't a big step up from the Tegra, however the new Adreno and Exynos GPUs are supposed to come out towards the end of the year which is a bit exciting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I have seen DROID RAZR HD pictures right now and I think I have chosen my next phone.

I cannot wait to see that colorboost display, 2500 mAh battery, nice flat design, in my hand.

Until this phone comes out, I am staying with Photon 4G.

Electrify 2 doesn't look bad too, but it's a little old hardware (probably the same like RAZR and GN), but won't be expensive.

DROID RAZR HD is my next :)
