My wife just today got the new Motorola Atrix HD. So far I think it is a very nice phone and hope she gets great service from it. I to hope that the Jelly Bean update is pushed out for this phone. Only time will tell.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Nickerz:
According to this, the Motorola Defy will get JB and it's reasonable that the newest devices will too...

Jelly Bean for the MyTouch 4G Slide, Desire HD, and Motorola Defy

***EDIT***

Just noticed it's a ROM so I'm assuming this is specially made b/c of it unlocked? But here is another quote...

"These devices are all a little older than some would expect to be receiving ports. But if the HTC HD2 can get it, newer devices should be able to as well."
[Motorola Atrix HD] Sinful Animosity:
Motorola Defy is still running on an old modified Froyo kernel, seeing as how they never even got gingerbread.

Quarx ported Jellybean over, however.Motorola has long stopped during about the defy
[Motorola Atrix HD] SnoMan88:
Your best bet is a to go for a Nexus device it you want something that is close to being future proof. I kind of know what you are going through with waiting for a new nexus phone part of the reason I didn't drop $350 GNex. The best advice I can say is go with the AHD for now, you can even get one for $50 on contract from best buy or amazon as long are you don't mind going with the new tiered plans.
[Motorola Atrix HD] RobAndroid:
The good news is that AT&T isn't forcing you onto the new shared data plans...yet. I figure they'll eventually decide to do that to keep up with Verizon, but for now they look a little better because of it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] imitenotbecrazy:
Why do people still think best buy can't keep unlimited plans? Hasn't this dumb rumor been squashed months ago? Sure there may have been some dumb bbym guy that sucked at his job and lost someone unlimited but don't bunch us all in with his uneducated ass. Come see me, I got you on unlimited.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Nickerz:
Doesn't BestBuy charge you a Restocking Fee if you decide to return anything, especially a phone? Plus certain electronics only have 15 days instead of 30 days to return an item. If this is still true...save yourself the headache and get it from Costco (at their store or online with free shipping) and they give you free accessories (see my post about Costco just a few days ago).

If BestBuy has changed their policy, good but I can't tell you how long it's been since I've stepped foot in their store because of this. It's maybe part of the reason why they're struggling with their stores and trying to hang on to their mobile wireless departments.
[Motorola Atrix HD] hotrod010:
Totally agree with you!!! i dont buy any thing form bestbuy anymore!!!:D
[Motorola Atrix HD] nuance4u:
OK.. so this thread turned from a JB discussion to Best Buy? LOL. I'm about to pull the trigger on either the AHD or GS3 and am having a tough time deciding due to the JB issue and a few others. From the sounds of most of the comments here, it doesn't appear likely that Moto will offer the JB update, or am I missing something? The GS3 is a nice phone, but the screen on the AHD is far superior and the build quality of the Moto phone seems solid. What do you guys in this forum think? AT&T will sell me either phone for 50% off, no activation fee and a credit back to my account for the CA sales tax too :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] Gadgetz:
You strike me as someone who intends on modding ur phone, running roms and other mods or apps that require root so that makes the decision very easy, the GS3. It comes with an unlocked bootloader, root was gained before the phone was even released, the dev support is massive, aftermarket support is amazing, and JB is coming soon! Dont like the battery life? You can use a higher capacity battery if you choose. The camera is lovely! Especially since you're gonna be getting it for half off, that makes it a no brainer!
[Motorola Atrix HD] nuance4u:
Gadgetz.... thanks.. Actually your assumption is a little off base and that's due to me having been an iOS person for the past 4 years. And it's also the reason I'm drawn to Android, and even moreso after having watched the various vids about JB and Google Now.. simply amazing new version of Android.

So if I understand what you're saying, you're recommending I go with the GS3 for various reasons, regardless of me not liking the blue tint on AMOLED screens. And I can understand this to some degree. Also, when you install Nova I thought it only changed the look of the home pages and icons. Are you saying that it completely changes the UI including the notification bar where you can toggle on/off for Bluetooth, GPS, Wifi, etc? Sorry, but I'm a noob. I do like the new garnet red color on the GS3 but all of them are fingerprint magnets as you know. What case and screen protector do you recommend? Already found a high end, class 10 32mb microSD for $35 on eBay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cgardnervt:
So in the next coming days I'm getting rid of my zagg is. I will be installing my Otter Box Defender case when it comes in! So I ask you... What is the best dry screen protector? I will be buying one for backup in case my defender case fails me! What company? Looking for a good one not the cheapest!

Thanks...

Clarivue is the best but the GS3 is extremely difficult to install. It is so thin that the covers labelled 1 and 2 were extremely difficult to peel off. I burned the first one and just salvaged it on the second one. They give you two so it is worth the trouble though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] projectD:
honestly i decided in the end to not use my skinomi and just use the verizon dry ones, and its holding up pretty well so far
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrhaley30705:
Fosmon would be my vote. My inspire has a Fosmon under the Defender and it worked great.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lakeshow423:
I love the Otterbox series! The one thing I hate is the screen protector that comes with it. I'm gonna do the same thing I did with my GSM Galaxy Nexus defender when i get my S3 defender this week. I will pop off the screen protector and use my current Zagg HD under the case. That Otterbox SP is the worst, the clarity and colors instantly goes to **** LOL!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cgardnervt:
I really liked it on my HOX so I have a feeling that I will like it on the S3 too.

Also thanks for all the replies guys! Its very helpful to see what you all think!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Nova5:
Seidio screwed up on the GS3's screen protector, its about 3/16" short. either you fully protect the screen and have the bottom edge of it at the top of the hard button.. problem is the bottom edge is what should be protecting the soft buttons!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayts:
Rooting/unrooting with adb

The safe way is to know exactly what was modified in your system to root the device, and carefully undo the changes in the proper order. IMO, an app that roots a device *should* have unrooting capability as well because the developer of the app knows how the rooting process works, and how to undo the changes. Of course, the rooting process should be done in a way that allows it to be undone.

If you try to guess the process, and you don't know exactly what you are doing, you could brick your device, so be careful. I am not saying that as a disclaimer, but as an actual warning. Please take it seriously.

I had to root my tablet (also running ICS) manually through adb from my desktop Linux system. The method I followed was to install a custom su command in both /system/xbin and /bin, and then a Superuser app. It is not very complicated. I honestly don't know much about this yet, and just followed instructions that were posted at this site. The tablet was new, and I was ready to just re-install Android if things went wrong.

Does anyone know more about this? I tried to find more technical information on rooting, but was flooded with search results on what app to use, and other "user-level" information. I would like a full technical explanation if anyone has bothered posting such a thing. Do the apps all do the same operations? Is the procedure always the same for a given version of Android? And is there a corresponding method of unrooting, that works on all devices? If not, then why not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
I fully agree a 100%, but thanx to SFHUB the problem was solved...

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] simollie:
Does anybody have problem with playback of the recorded video? Mine is always jerky once in a while (like 5-10 seconds). I verified the recording itself is good since they play flawlessly when uploaded to PC or Google+. It's only the playback that's the problem. These are 1080p video stored on internal SD card. Doesn't GS3 have the horse power to handle 1080p? Or I have a defect internal SD card?

I have the Verizon model.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tcb4:
Yeah I am experiencing the same issue. 1080p video that isn't recorded on the device plays just fine, but the stuff I shot on the camera is laggy upon playback. I have tried using the internal and a external sd card with no luck. I wonder if it is something verizon did... I don't think you have a defect I think its software. maybe video compression issues.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

alright just crunched some numbers and I don't think its compression. Movies are 2.1444 mbps and on my 1080p camcorder they are about 4 mbps. This doesn't make any sense. This device should be able to play 1080p videos easy.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Aridon:
I found my videos were much better without auto shake being on.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tcb4:
yeah me too. anti-shake seems to zoom in and make the videos more jerky. To me at least it almost seems like the anti-shake button is reversed.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] simollie:
thanks. but I have the anti-shake off. the problem seems to be playback on the phone only. I have no problem playing the recorded video on PC or YouTube.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tcb4:
Yeah same also having that problem. Anti shake makes it worse.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Lavinrac:
I have the same issue during playback. It only happens occasionally but is quite annoying.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zaventh:
Hello. This is a kernel I've made for the T999 to learn more about kernels and also to enable some features that I wanted. I built it on top of Romanbb's Adama 003 kernel, so please go thank him there.

My philosophy is to build a stable kernel that is tuned for real-world performance and not benchmarks. I have been running this kernel for a while now with great success, but as usual I can't be responsible for anything that happens to your device.

Features

Insecure

Patched adbd

init.d support

OC to 1.89Ghz

L2 Overclock

UV/OV

Add smartassv2, interactive, and conservative governors

BFQ,SIO schedulers

Patched up from 3.0.8 to 3.0.40

TCP proportional rate reduction

ARM topology support

Enable RCU_BOOST

IPv6 privacy support

NTFS/TUN module support

thermald tweaks

New in R3

SIO scheduler

Patched from 3.0.36 to 3.0.40

Insecure adbd binary (adb remount command now works)

Default scripts now executed before init.d scripts

Notes

Samsung's proprietary exFAT modules will not work with this kernel. Make sure your SD card is FAT32 or EXT4.

Please don't flash this if you don't know exactly what you're doing as I'm too lazy to include n00b instructions.

You should already be rooted and have busybox installed into /system/xbin before flashing this kernel. As always, wipe all caches after flashing.

I recommend tuning cpufreq with init.d scripts instead of apps.

Credits

Thanks to Romanbb for the initial kernel including OC/UV/OC hacks. Go thank the guy.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgrimberg1979:
This should work on all US sgs3 variants, in particularly att correct?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zaventh:
No, this is T999 (TMO) only. It is my understanding that the I747 variant in particular is only minutely different, but they are not interchangeable. I'd compile a version targeting the I747, but it looks like you guys already have a nice kernel with most of these features.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pakraider:
Great work zaventh! :)

Is it possible to add the 2-way call recording patch to the kernel to use skvalex's call recording app? It's supposed to work on Snapdragons, so our T-Mo SGS3 should be compatible..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zaventh:
Sorry, I forgot to mention that this kernel does not have exFAT/FAT64 support. The exFAT modules are proprietary Samsung modules and they can't release the source due to Microsoft's licensing scheme. I tried force loading them, but they still fail. You'll need to use FAT32 or ext4, etc.

I can check it out. Got a link to the patch?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] davwman:
How is it that adama kernel allows exfat?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zaventh:
Adama is still the stock 3.0.8 kernel. This kernel has been patched up to the linux 3.0.36 kernel base.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] davwman:
Oh, ok
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pakraider:
Patch sources are here:

http://code.google.com/p/2-way-call-recording/source/browse/#svn/patches

I do believe a port of this patch should work for us, as the author says Snapdragon-based devices will work. T-Mo's SGS II kernels added this patch too, so I'm hopeful. :)

this kernel does work with att im using it right now with my rom haha

there is only 2 other features id like to see that no kernel yet has but other than that this is a nice kernel

Does adb remount work for anyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] davwman:

Thanks!!!!!! Another question I'm using adama kernel right now but would u recommend this kernel then adama? Or stick with the adama kernel if I want better battery life?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
This kernel using SmartassV2 (min. 384 max.1512)...NO profiles (defeats the benefits of the SAv2 governor) with BFQ and Eugene's supersaver script (init.d version).

Last test I got 1day 7hrs on a full charge.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] deeoh1084:
Thanks ur awesome! I'm going to go home after work ti check and see if my sd card is compatible with this kernel if not I'm gonna have to find a way to convert it into ext4 unless u know a shortcut to it :D but thanks anyway!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
Unless you have a linux box or VM, I strongly recommend FAT32 over EXT4 if you're a Windows user. If you happen to be primarily a linux user, EXT4 is hands down the better choice.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] deeoh1084:
Thank u once again and I guess I'll be going with FAT32 since I'm a windows 7 user (64bit) but is it difficult to switch my sd card to FAT32?

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
No, just use the built in Windows format utility accessed via right click and selecting properties again.

Ensure FAT32 is selected.

Your sdcard may already be formatted with FAT32, check that first before wasting your time.

Of course, a format will erase EVERYTHING, so make sure to backup to PC anything you may want to keep.

I also strongly recommend using a sdcard adapter directly into PC or via a USB reader.

This will make everything faster for transfers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] deeoh1084:
Nice!! That does sound easy!!! I'll make sure to check first and see if it's fat32 if not backup everything and format the card again using an adapter or a USB reader thanks again!!!!!!

OK I know we normally ignore quadrant but I scored less then half what a stock device gets with this kernel and oc. Should I reflash??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overground:
That's totally up to you.

I like this kernel for it's battery life and stability.

I could care less about benchmark scores.

My phone on this kernel does everything I want it to do when requested.

If you're interested in benchmarks, I'd recommend one of the others.
