The Atrix is fast as hell compared to my Aria, Craptivate , Iphone4 and my wifes Evo. This phone puts them all to shame, don't listen to the haters, they're just jealous fags. I love the form factor, this is not a big phone in any way except screen size and It feels like a very well put together device.

My quality of life doesn't depend on the speed of my phone compared to another model like some of these fags on here. That and I'm an adult who can afford any phone I want so I have no reason to lie. If I thought the Atrix was slow I'd return it, but this phone's definately a keeper.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Straight & to the point.. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
It only took opening a few apps up in a store today to decide to be back there first thing in the morning to pick mine up. It's ridiculously fast. Seriously. The camera opens in about a second and a half. Used it on the laptop dock and it was pretty cool. It was able to play Hulu without any issues. My Inspire is going back tomorrow as I can't deal with the battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
Stock haha ok you can't get that in 2. 2 only 2. 3 is made to run with the gpu a new feature in 2. 3
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
I'm hoping to buy one tomorrow to upgrade from my N1 so any N1 owners, what are the differences?

Also here are my concerns:

Pentile Display - how does it look compared to the N1 with the screen door effect?

Can someone try Go Launcher and see how it works?

Can you stop MotoBlur from running in the background while using another launcher?

Storage - can you use all 16gb internal for storage or is what I saw about most being only for media and just 1 or 2 gb for apps true?

Camera - how is the front facing camera?

Thanks guys and gals
[Atrix 4G General] ant1pathy:
Still kinda laggy compared to my iPhone. I hope ROM comes fast, it really could use some dev love.
[Atrix 4G General] BlackOtaku:
Dude, just get out. Not to the Nexus S forums, otherwise I'll have to read your incessant immaturity there too. Just... go out. Take a walk. You have a freakin' Nexus S. I'm sure you were around as I was for the annoying trolling that was taking place when it first came out. I would have hoped that you'd be mature enough not to subject others to that. You aren't giving us a good look man.
[Atrix 4G General] computermilk:
I have an iPhone 4 and i bought one.. though it's just like the up above poster said, I make a lot of money, am an adult who can afford any phone i want.

I'm still keeping my iPhone 4 and if the Atrix doesn't get 2.3 in a decent amount of time I may just end up getting the iPhone 5 if in fact the 5 has some sort of A5 Dual core chip in it.

The atrix will be a nice toy to play with until then =)
[Atrix 4G General] d.cortez:
forgive my slightly off topic question; does the Atrix support multiple Exchange accounts? thanks!

Who cares if you have money....:confused::confused::confused:
[Atrix 4G General] Simba501:
I don't have mine yet, but I know "Home Manager" (without the quotes of course), allows you to switch launchers AND kill other launchers....so, yes.
[Atrix 4G General] clark222:
Im def looking into the atrix...post any issues, hoping this will be a perfect phone from the start.
[Atrix 4G General] sssp:
Hows the GPS?

Hopefully I'll get mine tomorrow
[Atrix 4G General] n0kia916:
Better than craptivate and inspire =P
[Atrix 4G General] daveop:
I ordered mine today, was 6 weeks away from an upgrade but when I put it in the cart it gave me the 199 price. It told me it wouldn't be here until around the 6th but I checked the order status tonight and it shipped. They gave me standard overnight for no added cost and it'll be here before 3 tomorrow. For once att really came through for me, I'm ecstatic.
[Atrix 4G General] aisnotok:
Playing around with my Atrix pretty much all day long I have to say I'm not that impressed with it. I'm coming from an Evo and a Focus (I know right) and there's just little issues that are adding up. The thing is plastic.. I knew that going into it but honestly... the housing is cheap and the speaker grill on the back is some sorta overlay that I've already punctured. Since I've gotten used to my Evo I pretty much set it up with Launcher Pro and installed all my apps and widgets like I like it. Maybe I'm used to bigger (Evo) or clearer (Focus) screens but it seems like the Atrix screen is much smaller.. like having a crazy high resolution on a small screen everything looks small and it just seems like there's a lot of screen real estate being wasted. It is fast but not noticeably faster than an Evo running CM. I might be in a small minority but I think I might consider the Inspire...
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
I have adw and its awesome

I also like it better than launcher pro
[Atrix 4G General] :
I installed multi-touch visible test.

Atrix 4G only registers to touches. No big deal to me, but I wonder what other Motorola phones can do like the Droid X.
[Atrix 4G General] jeremy81:
The Pentile Display is noticeable if you hold it very close but not as much as on the Nexus One. I was never happy with the way fonts looked on the N1 but it doesn't bother me on the Atrix. I would probably have preferred a regular Super LCD but I think once you get used to it it won't be noticeable.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Do you think it will be noticeable for someone coming from an iPhone 3GS?
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
Coming from an N1 this is scary. Having had so many issues with our fake multitouch.

I wonder can anyone else confirm no more than two touchpoints? This severely limits gaming potential.

Also can any former N1 owners see if the touchpoints swap like on the N1? There is an app on the market that tests it.
[Atrix 4G General] fade1d:
Screen on nexus s is unreal. But the atrix works on at&t, that's why im using it. No lag, but it seems keyboard isn't multitouch? Typing is painful compared to gingerbread keyboard
[Atrix 4G General] fade1d:
Inspire is awesome. Nicer screen and more touch responsive. Battery sucks though. Camera is amazing
[Atrix 4G General] zizo79:
I kinda wish the Inspire was dual core...
[Atrix 4G General] :
I just tested the build in Motorola "Multi-touch" keyboard. It is clearly multi-touch. It lets me hold one letter down and then with a different finger, enter a different letter.

I mentioned above it only registers, at maximum, two simultaneous touches, but as far as I can tell it is still clearly multi-touch.

-James
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
Appreciate your testing. Can you see if it has the issue of switching touch inputs that the N1 had where if you have two touches too close to each other it reverses the fingers and forgets where you touched?

I'm afraid of getting another phone with this issue

Also, is Flash installed on any Atrix phones? It's being reported that no Tegra 2 can use flash.
[Atrix 4G General] eallan:
I have an N1 and just tested my Atrix. Absolutely no axis switching present. A much much much much much better touch screen.
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
Thank you!

How about Flash?
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
That is a complete lie. Flash works *PERFECTLY* on the Atrix. I've streamed 720p flash content without a hitch (no slowdown at all). Even fairly flash-heavy sites don't bog down in the least.

Flash isn't dependent on Tegra 2 programming at all...the reason it's not being released with the Xoom is because it's not optimized for Honeycomb yet. Has nothing to do with the Tegra.
[Atrix 4G General] networkn:
Stop feeding the troll, the more he gets from you guys, the more he will comment.
[Atrix 4G General] ckrugo:
Get a Grip! This thing is monster fast. N-S got nothin on it.
[Atrix 4G General] ryanthered:
I had an Evo and iPhone 4 previously and this is by far the fastest of the three. Form factor is perfect. Lighter and bigger display than iPhone and more pocketable than the Evo. Battery life could be on par with the iPhone and is no contest over the Evo. Camera is decent but color saturation is low by default. Another app or post processing can fix that.

I'm going to have to get used to the Pentile display. Its not as bad as I was expecting though and text at normal size is fine. Moto needs to get GB out as the Froyo keyboard is painful.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the power of this phone and looking forward to seeing what it can really do.
[Atrix 4G General] kkiran:
The only thing stopping me is a possible AT&T tethering bill if I were to enable tethering. The worst part is, I will lose my unlimited 4G data and I have to pay extra for this. How does the portable hotspot work for you guys, any input?

Amazon got this beast for $149 and no tax for most!
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Wow, thanks for all the input guys! XDA rocks! :)

How are the soft keys, good response on them?

Again, coming from a N1 and having a trackball, how does it work in drop-down menus on the browser? I've always used xscope and even with the trackball it was tough most of the time on the N1..
[Atrix 4G General] Simba501:
There are a lot of options in the market to change the keyboard. I use smart keyboard with a gingerbread skin that looks great.
[Atrix 4G General] spielnicht:
These are the two MOST important reasons I'm ditching my Nexus One for the Atrix. Can't wait to get it tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G General] novaIS350:
you're on an internet forum calling people "fags." You sir, do not sound like an adult.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
I know this was discussed here after this post but it should probably be noted that the EVO in particular on the default kernel can only register two touch points but after a custom kernel was loaded this was raised to a maximum of 5 (depending on the screen as they used different screens over the build-out).
[Atrix 4G General] degenerazn:
I'm very hesitant on getting this phone right now. I've learned my lession from getting a launch Captivate with all those GPS, dropped calls, random shut down issues... My exchaged Captivate is much smoother and comes with a better screen IMO

Seems best to wait right now and see how the first batch goes. Amazon has it for $150 and Walmart has it for $130 but I assume its probably sold out everywhere.
[Atrix 4G General] novaIS350:
By the time you're done waiting something new will come and you'll be waiting again. Do or do not... no yoda.
[Atrix 4G General] metaldood:
This +1 ....

I am waiting maybe a week to make my decision.

Oh and 8th March AT&T is kind of "banning" Lets talk and Wirefly ;)
[Atrix 4G General] doug7:
seriously?

thats like asking the question "Do you think the turbo lag in the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 quad turbo will be noticible as someone coming from a 1953 Packard"

the answer?

ummmm no.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
lol i was talking about the pentile display
[Atrix 4G General] crawlgsx:
That is one horrible comparison! Funny though :D
[Atrix 4G General] donniesd:
I have both the Nexus One (ATT Version) and The Atrix, When you remove all the moto bloatware it is a beast. Now if only it would connect to att HSPA+, i would be a happy camper.
[Atrix 4G General] Immix:
I wouldn't count on Atrix's battery being better than N1's. The thing about Atrix's battery is that under heavy load (videos, streaming music etc.) the battery discharges faster than it charges. I know this is common on many phones. But with N1 actually its not as bad as Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] zizo79:
Do you have an Atrix ?

[General Questions and Answers] Don_Esteban:
Hello, since I'm new here and tried a lot of ROMs now, I just can't figure out how to install Dandiest DL Desire builds. I can't post in the threads too, because I don't have 10 posts yet. Hope to hear an explanation.

Sincere regards

Steven
[General Questions and Answers] Don_Esteban:
Boek one?
[General Questions and Answers] kdelisle:
I had the same problem. You might try using one of the lower versions. The thread organization was hard to follow, but with V2.0, if you copy the Desire DL folder and rename the config file (remove the SD from the end), AND place a data.img file (look for the 1GB file on the front page) in that folder, it should work. Be patient on the first couple of starts/restarts, it takes awhile. The one problem I'm trying to overcome is a data connection problem. I'm going to apply the "fix" file tonight and cross my fingers that it fixes it - other than that, I found it to be a nice stable build.
[General Questions and Answers] Don_Esteban:
Got it to work on Magldr now and renamed the config. Now my HD2 just keeps saying memory almost full... Did I forget to do something now?
[General Questions and Answers] kdelisle:
I believe the memory full message is coming because of a data.img file which is too small. The ROM build thread has advice on either loading a 1GB data.img file, or repartitioning. I think if you search the ROM thread on memory or data.img, you'll find the helpful replies for that issue.
[General Questions and Answers] Don_Esteban:
Still having issues, and I don't get the partitioning thing.
[General Questions and Answers] kdelisle:
My SD card has two partitions (I can't remember if that happened the first time I tried to install a build, or if I actually did that...). I have not done anything involving the ext partitions. Initially when I installed the Desire build from Dandiest (trying to install 3.4) I got the memory error. I researched and looked at Colossus's posts, and that's what caused me to download the 1Gb data.img compressed file (which is on the bottom of the first page). When I extracted that file from the compressed file, and copied it into the Desire_DL folder, I no longer got the memory space errors. I had other problems with the 3.4 build, so I tried the V2 build. After applying the data fix (I got those files from another post in that thread), I have been able to make the data connection work, and in general I like the build. I get some initial lag, but it's very stable, which I appreciate. When I have a little more time, I may try the 4.0/4.1 build, but several experienced users seem to be having trouble with that build, so it doesn't seem ready just yet. The file's name is literally "data.img" and should be 1GB and you should copy it directly into the Desire_DL folder (or whatever folder name you are using to boot into that version of Android!). Your config file should likely have the line data.img=1, to make sure it uses that and doesn't try to use or create one of the ext partitions. Good luck!

big ups to whosdaman as always!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I will have the full .tar shortly for everyone and I new list of updates
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Does this also work for us on EXT4 roms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] globalninja:
no...you need complete stock di18
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
Great guide whosdaman.

Update.zip download links lead straight to your blog.

Mirror for update.zip http://www.multiupload.com/K1MHLS6SNX
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Ya, but the first 8 steps will flash DI18 even if you are using EXT4, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
Correct. You will go back to RFS with DI18
[Epic 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
So once we do all this and we reinstall CWM3, which if i recall automatically converts your file system to EXT4, we will have EB13 with CWM3 and EXT4 all nice and easy, correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
You will have a file system with EXT4, you still need a kernel that supports it. I assume that Samsung hasn't suddenly added EXT4 support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Crap forgot about the kernel... well that just **** on my parade
[Epic 4G Android Development] PythonFanTN:
Will this work for those with stock + root/CWM recovery or will this work only with stock recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
It works with the recovery
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
does this update zip contain new kernel and modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thezero4:
It appears that one click 2.5.5 rooter works with this. Just sayin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshk89:
The update.zip is just like getting an ota from sprint but you have to be stock. It has everything you need
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
<ID:0/003> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

Is what I get when trying to flash DI18. It has been stuck on that last bit for a while now. You are supposed to select a PIT file, right? and the options I had checked was only Auto Reboot.

Edit: nevermind. Ran it again, worked this time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SubnetMask:
Sooo....... Why not just Odin the EB13 tar rather than Odin DI18 then run update.zip? :confused:

[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
Whosdaman, you da man! thanks for the instructions and everything.

I'm not sure if this has been posted in here yet, but here is another simplified way of updating. it is the samsung exe, just another set of instructions explaining step by step.

http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=559&AT_ID=351569
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Thats the last resort method in my list...
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
I realize that. I said it was also the samsung exe tool, but it is just another set of instructions to go with it. It's organized slightly differently with even more ridiculously easy steps to follow. It is samsungs official how-to instruction guide with pre-installation information so you have a feel of what to expect (for those not experienced). Also has info on what it's updating, troubleshooting, etc...

I dunno, thought it might be helpful...:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
whats the best method to root this phone after the update?

what are the touchwiz custom roms to use for fryo?

what is gingerbread like on this phone?

What r these ext4 roms I kno its a partition but Idk I'm so confused I'm leave evo for epic tomaro and it everything wasnt like this for evo so I'm lost. And I think the tool seems the easiest way foreal
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Well supposedly Sprint is going to be releasing a patch to fix all the problems...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robperri:
This helped me understand ext4 a little bit better (from Androidcentral):

What's the difference between RFS and EXT4?

RFS is Samsung's proprietary filesystem, which has a pretty poorly written driver and is overall not very efficient. EXT4 is the filesystem used by Linux, and is more efficient than RFS. EXT4's efficiency over RFS gives a noticeable boost in operating system responsiveness/performance (the nimble Nexus S uses EXT4).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Wow I'm more confused now so every Rom has this or what
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
Yes most new roms are EXT4 which you flash in cwm3 Orange recovery

some still offer RFS/EXT4 dual boot so you can have whatever you prefer
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Opinions are different for EXT4 or RFS. Arguments say EXT4 burns out memory quicker, but EXT4 is much faster.
[Epic 4G Android Development] badbeats:
Wow... I figured it out.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottsdalecards:
2.2 issues

I've upgraded to 2.2 using the third method.

Then rooted using the one click method in the first post.

Everything seemed fine until I started trying to use the free wifi tether app last week. It runs for abywhere from 10-30 minutes then the phone shuts off.

I also now get ramdom shutdowns/reboots after making a phone call (happens about 3-4 times a week)

My phone has become very unstable since upgrading to 2.2. Anyone else having these issues or is there a fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Are you running RFS or EXT4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottsdalecards:
Just running the EB13 stock rom rooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Attention everyone. Sprint has announced there will be no over the wire method released by Samsung or Sprint. You will need to use Odin when we get the tar file or flash to DI18 and update from that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
What about an update zip?

Im sure there will be one and if not made one by the developers probaly also a flashable modem zip,

i dont have a problem updating via odin tho..

Just scared of what happen last time i upgraded the modem via modem, UID inconsistant :( but thats what nandroid is for :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Exactly. And yes we are trying to get the update.zip as fast as we can.

Update.zip's are not the most reliable. In fact, it was the case of almost all of the problems with EB13. Flashing from scratch is always the best resort.
