Should I upgrade to a galaxy nexus GSM or wait for the next nexus? I'm a developer and the atrix sucks with adb but its manageable. I am going to switch to tmobile in may when my contract ends.
[Atrix 4G General] mugabuga:
I think I'll be getting the Galaxy Nexus. 16GB was fine with my Atrix. I've never run out of space with it.

i think my next phone will be lenovo a660 or any other good manifacture android dual sim.
[Atrix 4G General] Macrotron:
Next phone is already Samsung Galaxy Nexus there was no alternative after a moto ;)

but i will still keep my defy <3 it runs on JB with HWA, not the best performance but at least one moto with JB hahaha
[Atrix 4G General] mmtux:
The only thing i'm worring about with the Nexus is the bad battery life... i guess the Galaxy S3 is the better choise. though the Nexus is a good device.
[Atrix 4G General] ycavan:
I already got a gs3. Pretty decent phone w/ the exception that you need an MHL adapter for hdmi & that prevents you from using USB-OTG. I do still use my atrix as an alarm clock & nettop.

[Atrix 4G General] tomh235:
Yes! This is the first device that actually offers anything really new over the Atrix and gives a compelling reason to update. I just need to work out if my hands/pockets are big enough.

Then my Atrix will probably end up permanently docked as a super portable ubuntu laptop.

I would have got Galaxy S3 but tight on budget this time. I will probably now wait for next nexus phone.
[Atrix 4G General] facetubespam:
I think anyone right now who wants a new phone should wait for the upcoming Nexus lineup to be announced before making their choice. Unless you want the Note2 and it's 5.5inch giant screen and stylus.
[Atrix 4G General] Hikikomorikruge:
I agree, anyone thinking about upgrading should wait until the next nexus is announced/release in the next few months. That is unless you want something bigger like the Note 2 or must have a SD card.

That lack of a SDcard slot stopped me from picking up a Galaxy S, but now I'm willing to be stuck with 16gb of storage for a better JB (and beyond) experience.
[Atrix 4G General] acruxksa:
Now that Motorola has admitted they aren't updating to ICS, I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 (international). I'd have thought about staying with Motorola if they had at least pushed Nvidia to release drivers, but they can't even do that so what's the point. No chance I'm going to use a $100 credit to buy another motorola when I just got the GS3 for $0.

***Vote with your pocket books people. Maybe Motorola, ATT and the rest will eventually take note and realize that making us sign up for a two year contract but only supporting / updating a phone for 1yr is ridiculous. Not only did I go with the GS3, I changed carriers.
[Atrix 4G General] mayhemrules:
I got the GS3 as well. Never in my life will I get another Moto device. My atrix broke so many times it has been my worst purchase. EVER.

I recently acquired my Atrix HD coming from the 4G. I have to say, it's probably the best device I've seen so far. The battery life seems to be the only downside but there are people who have taken the EB40 battery from the Razr MAXX and put it in the HD giving amazing battery life. One guy got over 2 days with constant screen on which is quite amazing.

Only 2years, you got off easy, in Canada we're .suckered into 3year contacts in order to get a deal on our phones. And I got mine in early 2011 so I'm stuck until 2014, and we don't even qualify for the $100 credit because we're not in the US,lol not that I'd ever buy another moto product, I put up with the milestone and now this bull****, **** you Motorola
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
Use a otg cable if your device doesn't have expandable storage. Crude but effective.
[Atrix 4G General] pellepropp:
I'm Sure that it would not be a Motorola if i like my Atrix. But With the Support from Motorola they even forget a comeback in Sweden.

They had a success with Tac phones then they disappere from Sweden so I thought this was theres comeback but no no.

Phones is great but With no Support I will say hello and good bye. You have to maintan you customers.

Niceeeeeee!
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
Finally found a phone you can upgrade to now eh? I remember you always said there isn't a phone worth upgrading to yet lol.
[Atrix 4G General] vista1984:
htc one + has much better screen than samsung..
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Well, everything that was coming out was hyped too much. The 3 I had been considering were One X (no quad core on AT&T was deal breaker), SGS III (quite simply too much hype, not enough phone), and Sony Ion (took too long for release and was old news by then).

Now im thinking Note II and One X+. With 2 upgrades might get both.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
I agree that the HTC X+ is upgrade worthy. I hate the fact that Tegra 3 isn't 28nm and A15 cortex though.
[Atrix 4G General] dedebekri:
Dear members of the Atrix community,

Before leaving behind this community and our beloved Atrix's, please give a hand to raise a warfare against #motofail for getting anything related to ICS for Atrix from them.

Also our devs here are trying to come together to give our Atrix's the chance of a second life.

I understand your feelings, we were betrayed by #motofail, the same as I feel. And it's your right to seek "the better".

But please stand by us and give your precious support in any means, in order to give the life kiss it deserves to our devices.

SGS3

The wifi/BT module died on the Atrix, so it's 3G data only for the time being.

My SGS3 32Gb should be arriving tomorrow.

Didn't have much luck with the Atrix. For a "super phone", it sure didn't hold up for me or my wife. Hers died after 14 months, and two failed digitizers. Mine lasted 18 months, with the aforementioned wifi problem. I even invested a hefty chunk to have the whole Atrix experience, including 2 car docks, 2 multimedia docks, and a lapdock. Needless to say, between the build quality of my phones and the lack of support from Motorola, they weren't even considered when we started shopping around.
[Atrix 4G General] Vazay:
GNex.. arrives tomorrow :p
[Atrix 4G General] barry99705:
Sounds about right. My next phone will be the Note 2. Even though Google owns Moto mobility, I'll never buy another phone from them.

-Can use it as a self-defense weapon.

-Snake.

[Atrix 4G General] Morphling27:
I just purchased my Galaxy Nexus 2 days ago. Should be here tomorrow or Saturday - UPS tracking is terrible at best.

I'd say my choice was based off of the canceled update for ICS, but my digitizer has finally started to crap out. Phantom touches and middle part of the screen won't always respond. I had to show the wife in person a few times it didn't work to even convince her it was ok. I'm aware it's easily replaced and not that expensive of a part - but why not use an excuse for a new phone?

If UPS' history is any indication of now, I'll expect my package by about 7:30pm this evening. I've NEVER had them deliver to my neighborhood before dusk. It's a sad joke really.
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
Rumor is that Google is going to begin a new Nexus program in November where multiple OEMs are allowed to produce Nexus phones and the new Android 4.2 (KLP or JB2) will have have native themeing so OEMs can theme the phones but otherwise can't touch the stock Android.

An LG Nexus is all but confirmed. A new Samsung Nexus is rumored possibly with a Super HD AMOLED Plus or whatever they're going to call their 720p RGB OLED which should be the best screen ever released.

If true, I'd put off a phone purchase at least until the announcement.
[Atrix 4G General] Chimpdaddy:
Opening up the Nexus to manufacturers to produce whenever is a great idea, as long as the updates are strictly enforced -haven`t heard anything on this point yet, hope it`s implicit.

This might be alright for those looking to keep it 4 inches, maybe not too much of an upgrade from the atrix tho

[Atrix 4G General] cerps:
I was going to go for an LG Optimus G Nexus, but no microSD (with only 16gb onboard) and no removable battery are going to make me cross it off the list. I'd go for the AT&T Optimus G, but don't trust LG for software updates.
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
People remove their batteries? I only need like 8GB of storage though 32GB or 64GB would be nice to be future-proof. Most important is upgradability. Hardware specs are all pretty similar these days with the only exception of the screen quality. RGB AMOLED would be a huge plus.
[Atrix 4G General] LeonIrv:
My Atrix just died on its own, it seems a drip of sweat somehow went inside and made quite a mess. I'm looking at either a Galaxy S II, or a Sony Xperia P as replacements =)

I like the S II because of the CyanogenMod support and the comunity and stuff, but the Xperia P is pornografically pretty, so I havent made my mind yet.
[Atrix 4G General] kiy0shix24:
I'm waiting for the new nexus by LG. As long as they don't make it look retarded I will get it because built in wireless charging and no battery removal is delicious xD

Can't wait!

Also, 16gb won't be an issue for me because my atrix has been running off of just internal memory for a while now and I still have 7 gigs free :)

[Atrix 4G General] againareku:
All these posts just make me think about how wonderful the Atrix is

First of all, i don't know of any current phones that match up with the Atrix as far as recording concerts 720p movie mode plus concert mode results in some of the best audio/video capture on a mobile device. People around me are constantly amazed how my concert videos sound CRISP CLEAR and MUSICAL

That leads me to phones with no micro sd cards, I can't see myself recording an entire concert and its opening acts with a miserable on board memory only. I frequently fill up my phone memory and switch to my SD card. There is no "cloud" that right now is usable for uploading high definition video footage as quickly as you are recording it.

As for batteries? batteries go bad. also lots of android users love using extended batteries. also, the "power cycle" which is useful even for android phones involves pulling the battery.

I don't believe any current device can replace my atrix. I tried recording concert footage an HTC Vivid, on a Galaxy Nexus, and on a SGS II, all three results were horrible. Not only did they look bad, they were filled with audio distortion and the music was simply gone. The only replacement for an atrix is a dedicated MiniDisc recorder with an external microphone, and that would cost me at least $200 for a good set up and it would be just one more device I have to bring with me.

I love you Atrix. You are truly a versatile can do everything kind of machine.
[Atrix 4G General] nw21st:
I have until April to pick a new phone. By then there will be a whole new shiny selection. I did the iPhone for a few years but IMO once you go android, there is no turning back.

I feel like Samsung and Google purposely don't include things like external Microsd support because if they did, they wouldn't sell any other phone.
[Atrix 4G General] DroidRunner:
That's where I'm at. I know with the iPhone it will work out of the box until 5 years down the road when they stop supporting it. But I don't like supporting a company that portrays themselves as the first to have all these features on a phone. Such an epic inner struggle.
[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:
Probably going to wait to see what happens with the next Nexus phone.
[Atrix 4G General] xhazk:
Truth is, if youre on XDA you probably love to tinker with your phone. Like a custom built pc, or a car project in the garage, Android lets us release our inner OCD geek lol.

You wont get that on an iPhone. Sure, you can "jailbreak" some, but youll always be 100% dependant on Apple software within the barbed-wire iFence that is iOS.

That is unless the Next nexus device blows my socks off.
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
My Atrix replacement hasn't been announced yet

It will have an unlockable boot loader, be rootable, have a removable battery, and an externally available SD card slot. These are my deal-killers.

I want the removable battery feature for three reasons, 1: I don't want to replace the phone when the battery wears out (I use my phone heavily and most batteries don't last me through the day - this means many charge cycles), 2: The only way I can be certain my phone is OFF is pull the battery, 3: I have upsized my battery with a 3300 mA from Seido (other than the fact that it confounds battd, it works great).

Other features such as screen-size, camera, CPU, RAM, graphics chip, GPS, etc... are assumed to be consistent with the competition. The fingerprint scanner isn't important - I don't use it.

I tend to keep my phones for years. I retired a Razr V9 after 4 years for the Atrix. My contract is up next Feb. Maybe something suitable will be available by then. I've been a Motorola guy since the early '90s. I fooled around a bit with a Nokia and a Samsung for a few months before the Razr. Both had poor phone reception. Moto screws up many things (especially customer relations), but every Moto device I have had, had great phone performance and that includes my Moto-brick from the early '90s.

I'll wait. Spare Atrix devices are quit reasonable on Craig's List these days. I'm a old school open source guy. If someone really wanted my business, they would offer a phone as above that was truly open sourced, drivers and all. I would then be able to fix my battery scaling problem.

I make one exception and that would be the phone itself. There are enough miscreants in the world, that open-sourcing the phone would enable them to create havoc. My general view is that my phone is a portable computer (just a small laptop) and the camera, GPS, bluetooth, media players, etc... are just peripherals to be played with. My Atrix is mine, I paid for it and I want to use it as I see fit, with the one exception of the phone/data connection.

In my perfect (fantasy) world, cell phones would no longer be thought of as a phone. The phone would be re-defined as a tiny card like device similar to what is in my laptop. The standard would of course include mechanical and electrical specs, not just the communications protocols.

I realize this would have an impact on the current marking stupidity over thinness, but it's time to move on, thinness is so last century. Other options exist like physically separating the phone from the "phone". What if the phone was re-defined to be a separate device that communicated with the carrier network and the user electronic unit. The user unit would contain everything we know of today that is in our smart phones except the communication unit to the carrier network.

Chew on this, Regina Dugan.

[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
At this point, I don't care about specs as much. The lack of drivers, or whatever the devs need, to even use the near latest version of Android is frustrating. Custom ROMs can make just about any phone awesome regardless of specs.

On that note, either the next iPhone or the next Nexus phone for me. I don't ever want this driver issue or any other issue on my phone ever.

It may sound as I make Gingerbread obsolete, it isn't. There's so many great things ICS/JB has to offer over it.
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
Please explain how acquiring an iPhone will solve the driver problem.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
Don't misunderstand me. Take it easy. Don't hijack the thread. To amuse you, how would I getting a nexus phone help with the driver issue? Does that sound less fanboy ish?

Probably the next Nexus phone, possibly the SGSIII, depending on what else is out there come next July. Sad to see so many leaving to join the iPhone parade. Don't get me wrong, they are great phones for what people use them for, I just like tinkering and flashing too much to give up android. And don't get me started on Apple's business model. That being said, my past experience with Samsung has been less than stellar, the phones work great until they don't. I had 2 phones break within about 14 months of use, far too short a lifespan IMO.

You guys on the thread with the SIII, what's it like? Pros cons? Don't mean to jump off topic but any info would be great.

Next Nexus Handset

I'm slowly exiting Apple's ecosystem. I've grown tired of their walled garden. Ultimately, we all end up paying premiums for their devices that are exceeedingly difficult to upgrade and to independently tinker with. This fall, I plan to buy a MS Surface tablet, a Windows 8 notebook (that I'll dual-boot with a Linux distribution), and a highly upgradable Windows 8 AIO desktop. But, I can't shun Android in favor of Windows Phone 8. I love the independent development community associated with Android. Plus, Android integrates pretty seamlessly with Windows. So, hopefully there's a new Nexus device available this fall. If not, I'll probably do more research. The S III and the rumored successor to the HTC One X also caught my eye.
[Atrix 4G General] octahedron:
Sadly if the One X had a SD card slot I would probably get that over the SIII.

I got the note. I love it , it has great Dev support, can't beat the screen and screen size, s pen is unique and awesome (matter of opinion I know). It just works for me. Ironically with all of that I realized the things O liked about my atrix. I still put new roms on it I tried running the cm10 and its pretty good but I chose a cm7 based from for complete functionality and the fingerprint scanner is something you just can't ignore. I switch back and forth and use my atrix to project my emulators on my flat screen with the easy micro HDMI. Atrix was so ahead of the curve ppl didn't understand it. If it came out right now but instead bumped up the dual core to 1.5 and the latest OS it would be considered one of the best to date.
