[Motorola Atrix HD] MagicXB:
Honestly it's all really a matter of opinion. I personally would go with the Atrix HD simply because of the microSD card slot alone....internal storage can be EASILY filled up these days, whether it's music, videos, pictures, applications, and/or games. Having a 32 GB card in my Atrix certainly alleviates the storage issue. Also, the Atrix HD's camera isn't nearly as bad as some people would claim, and has only been further improved with the latest firmware update (particularly with noise and low light performance). As for the screen, both have lovely screens so it would be hard to go wrong with either.

It's a tough decision you have, but I would still go with the Atrix HD. The build quality on my phone has been fantastic and I have had no issues whatsoever with anything. As for not being able to save applications onto the SD card, that is not something that Motorola actually chose to do - rather, it was the choice that Google made when they designed Ice Cream Sandwich. You won't be able to save apps to external memory on the One X.

Also, root shouldn't be an issue for too long. ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] jsmizzle:
My main gripe with the ahd is the fact that you can't save apps to the external sd card. WTF. No other phone does that. And they're slick about it too. There is no mention about that only that they have expandable memory as if they're better than one x non-expandable. At least the one x has double the space for apps. I bet there are a ton of returns because of that and unhappy customers hitting their app limit not knowing it can't save to the sd. Besides that, I really like the phone and I still might get it..lol

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

I was under the impression Motorola made that decision. If not, WTF google! Even though the one x doesn't have expandable sd, you can use all of the 16gb internal for apps. I do like the build quality of the atrix better than the one x. I don't really care about the camera as that's not my thing. I'm just disappointed that i'll only have about 5gb available for apps. Let's just hope this thing gets rooted and this whole issue can be fixed with a new rom. Thanks for the inputs guys.. I still have a few hours to decide which to get. I'll post up my purchase later today.
[Motorola Atrix HD] MagicXB:

[Motorola Atrix HD] dcard2000:
Although I own a Atrix HD and love it. But, I probably would have passed the Atrix HD, if I knew the root is not gonna be available for this long. I'd rather get an HTC one where root is possile.
[Motorola Atrix HD] aaronwatrix2:
Read this.
[Motorola Atrix HD] dcard2000:
Until the root is available for the released firmware...
[Motorola Atrix HD] quarlow:
Most One X's sold in the last two months are un-rootable. An OTA (2.20) in early august prevents rooting, which is required to unlock the boot loader (by spoofing a different device because the AT&T version is not supported), which is required to install custom recovery, to flash ROMs. If easy root and ROMs is your goal you want a Samsung device.

I'm looking to getting a new phone too... Currently I have an Atrix 2 and while the devs do a gr8 job I want something newer/ more powerful and with decent dev support.

I was thinking on getting an Atrix HD but it seems to have the same dev issues as the A2.

So which of these do you think would be the best option?

1. Atrix HD

2. Galaxy Nexus

3. LG Optimus 4X HD

4. Wait for the new LG Optimus G

5. Wait for the new Nexus phone

I think the Atrix line has great specs for the price but the other phones are superior. Just trying to get different opinions since I don't know what to do :confused: :confused:
[Motorola Atrix HD] d0dger-911:
I think 5 - its will be newest phone and newest Android on board.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikenb:
So my phone is a SGH-T989. Everything worked fine on the phone with stock gingerbread from the store. I then rooted the phone and put a ROM on it (the version escapes me now) GPS seemed to start having issues connecting, but it still connected. My next move was to install the stock ICS from Samsung. Hooked up Kies and installed the stock ROM from Samsung. Rooted the phone. Still no joy with the GPS, in fact haven't been able to get the satellites fixed since I went to stock ICS.

Right now I'm running CM9 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621678.

Here are the radio's I've tried with it:

Tmo-SGH-T989-UVLH1_radio

Tmo-SGH-T989-LC8_radio

Tmo-SGH-T989-UVLE1_radio

They all work, except for the GPS. I've also tried the agps patch. That doesn't help either. When I run GPS Status, it normally says 0/19 satellites fixed. It sees the satellites but won't lock in on them.

Any ideas? I'm all out.

Thanks in advance for any help!

[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
If your Nitro is like mine, then its' compass couldn't find North to save its' life. Or worse yet it might be in the vicinity, but is very sporadic...Makes it just about impossible to use apps like Google Star Maps or get a proper bearing on direction in Nav when you're at a stop.

If you're also like me, you've tried doing the compass calibrations with the whacky waving your phone in a figure 8 to calibrate. But this hasn't fixed my issue.

But then I tried the rotate-all-axis calibration method and now my compass is much better! Here's what to try:

1. Install GPS Status from the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

2. Open the app, then bring up the Menu and choose: Tools > Compass calibration

3. Rotate the phone along the 3 axises a couple of times, like in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNJJPeoG8lQ

4. Press okay and your compass *should* be better

NOTE: I just noticed that when I went to test on another phone to compare (I also have a Nexus One), that my Nitro went out-of-whack again and only after a short while from previous calibration! Another calibration and it's working again, but that sucks that it lost its' bearings so quickly like that.

Give it a try and good luck!
[LG Nitro HD] lionman229:
Didn't really work for me. I really think this is a hardware issue. Do you think we should demand some kind of rebate for this or something? I know (its somewhere on the threads) that LG officially acknowledged the problem and have yet to come out for a fix. They are knowingly selling a defected phone.
[LG Nitro HD] typhoonk:
anybody test the phone with any of the new official software?
[LG Nitro HD] Wlld1:
After calibration compass works correctly.
[LG Nitro HD] typhoonk:
For how long? Work after a reboot?

After flashing a new ROM?
[LG Nitro HD] Wlld1:
Yes, it works after reboot. But calibration will be lost after flashing new ROM. I dont know where its data is stored.
[LG Nitro HD] typhoonk:
still sucks. all jumpy and not accurate.

I calibrated mine acouple of times yesterday. The compass worked, but it was very sluggish or spun too fast, and unless I put it on a table, wouldn't stop spinning.

I tried today, and it worked but was very slow to catch up to my movements.

Tried some sky map apps, and it just sucks. Same with the augmented reality apps.

wish there was a fix - or we at least new the problem.

thinking I may go back to stock and send it in to telus and see if there is a fix. Anybody have a working compass after a hardware swap? or repair?
[LG Nitro HD] GuestD2786:
The calibration did fix (even after reboot) the compass but I've noticed it takes sometime to settle after starting an application that use the compass.

At first it looks like the infernal spinning madness is about to start over again but after a few spins it stops at the correct position and stay there.

Weird...
[HTC One V] dibyajyoti:
So I'm planning to buy a new phone. And this time I've decided on HTC. But I can't choose between HTC Desire VC or the HTC One V. Which one is better? Both have similar specs but the HTC Desire VC is priced little higher which is not the problem. I'm not able to decide which one to buy. Need some expert recommendations!

Hey man my opinion is one v is little better than desire vc but desire x is best
[HTC One V] theiNDrAs:
Desire X : Chipset Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon, CPU Dual-core 1 GHz, GPU Adreno 203.

Desire VC : Chipset Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon, CPU 1 GHz Cortex-A5, GPU Adreno 200.

One V : Chipset Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon, CPU 1 GHz, GPU Adreno 205.

So what do you want to do with your device?

For gaming, One V is better than the other two...
[HTC One V] dibyajyoti:
Thanks for the comparison up there. The One V has a single core processor yet it is better for gaming? How?

This will be my first Android phone, I'll generally use the phone for applications and few games. Not hardcore gaming like Shadowgun etc, but maybe Real Racing 2 kinda stuff.

Moreover I want a phone that is eligible for a Jelly Bean update in the future. I'm not sure if the HTC Desire V/VC is eligble for an update yet. I don't want to be stuck with a phone that can't be updated from ICS.

Also What do you guys think about the Samsung Galaxy S Advance? In comparison to the HTC One V and Desire V/VC

One V because now moving on JB, the importance of a better GPU in Android world will become more and more mandatory.
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
one v is not very good for gaming..well, for games like temple run and angry birds etc it works fine. if anyone wants to play games like blood and glory and frontline commando, custom firmware must be installed; on stock its just slow and laggy. phone warms up very much while playing games and using the internet. when u get a one v,its true potential should be unlocked by rooting,then gaming is more fun.i have experimented o much with my one v, it has not once posed a problem...:) love my one v.....:):)

I have a Samsung Galaxy i987 AT&T GSM US Tablet. I have had CM9 on it working the phone and GPS previously. I now loaded the latest CM10 and have not either found the right modem or have other issues. I loaded the 0923 yesterday and it was said that you could pull the modem from Wiki CM and use CM to load it. I tried both of the modems in the links below one for AT&T and one that says Galaxy i987. Both show that it was successful, but in both attempts the modem.bin file did not show up under the /system/vendor folder. I used Root Explorer to finally move the modem.bin file from both of these download into the /system/vendor folder, and while the modem.bin file did show up, it still has unknown modem baseband and no modem or GPS working.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sam...port_Downloads
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
That is because the latest cm10 move modem.bin back to /radio/modem.bin like cm9 again.

Man, if you want to flash cm10 you have read the whole thread.

Be interested. Don't just jump in.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpolack:
Wow, thanks for the response. I read the thread every night on the CM10 Development, or is that the wrong one. I saw where dev posted you could get your modem.bin from the wiki and use Clockworks Mod to update again. Also, they were going back on the partition to CM9 like to allow 2gb and that there would be a wipe. Nothing said go to that directory /radio/modem.bin, unless by saying that you could go back to wiki like CM9 meant that directory. I thought I could use Clockworks and do a zip file firmware update. I admit that I am a bit new to all of this, but I have been modding something or other back to the Nintendo PS1 and original Xbox days, I guess I still need to get my sea legs here and will take a thrashing once in a while until I do. I do appreciate the help.

BTW, I got my GPS back, but not my phone. I will go back and search some more, but I got the modem.bin file from

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Support_Downloads

AT&T

UCKJ1

Using Root Explorer I put the modem.bin in the /radio directory. The GPS is working great, but no cell registration. I guess I should say, I get data, but when it goes to dial it beeps and ends the call immediately.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Yes, haha, CM9 was on /radio/modem.bin

then CM10 too, then CM10 move to new MTD partition, and modem.bin goes to /system/vendor/,

then CM10 move back again to another partition (not sure if it is back to same old partition or a new old partition :) )

but modem is back to /radio/modem.bin

once it is back to /radio, the one in Wiki will work, regardless of the way it is partitioned. You just need to read inside the zip, the updater script put the modem there.

It is a simple matter of modifying the path within the script for any layout.

Having said that, the older modems in modems thread in dev sticky, they are for pre-MTD time. During original Samsung BML partition, the modem is on a partition of its own, so a more complex method is required to put the modem there, including using CWM (zip) and Odin (tar)

But nowadays is just using Root Explorer and you are ok.

That is why I said you should read the whole thread, you will know such changes happening.

There is a CM10 thread and dev and one in General for discussion.

Ask questions in General if necessary, never on Dev one unless you have issue compiling, or have some other dev bug.

If you are interested on CWM updater script, just unpack the rom zip or the modem zip or any of the CWM flashable zip and have a look at the updater-script within the META-INF.

Edit: regarding AT&T tablet no call, I think it is network related. AT&T know you are on tablet and don't allow making calls. That is my theory.
