[Atrix 4G General] domin8:
So i am not up for upgrade until march 2012 but i decided to check and see what the OTD price was thru att for the atrix on my account. I pulled it up, and oddly enough it showed 199!

I went through the checkout process, but it wouldnt fully process the final checkout because i have unlimited data and i wouldnt pick a new data plan. Instead, i printed out my cart showing the final price of 199 + tax and took it into our local ATT store.

Talked to the manager there and he said he'd grandfather my data plan in, AND honor the price given on the website! so i'm getting my atrix tuesday morning for 199 even tho i just used my upgrade for my captivate in july!

SO STOKED!
[Atrix 4G General] grave101:
How did you manage to get it for that price online? I'm in the same boat as you, I upgraded to my captivate in august and i'm not due for upgrade until 2012
[Atrix 4G General] Rock3nrenigade:
If this is true, can you provide a few more details? I would also love to give this a shot.
[Atrix 4G General] Arcadia310:
Holy cow. Is there any way this is possible if you aren't a current AT&T customer? Lol
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
When they pay $500 for a phone it doesn't make sense for them to sell it for $200 without contract. It would never be able to happen in my store and my manager is extrememely lenient.
[Atrix 4G General] Simba501:
Wtf.........
[Atrix 4G General] UTZorro:
Well, luckily with AT&T no phone of mine has ever really been "on a contract"... When I called the cancellation dept to preorder my Atrix....errr.... "switch to Verizon or Sprint".... They told me if I stayed, they'd cancel the last 10 months of my contract if i signed a new 2 year contract...and they gave me the Atrix for $174.99 with free overnight and no upgrade fee.... This is the same trick I pulled when I upgraded my phone last time 1 year into my 2 year contract! In other words, their "contract" is really BS if you talk to the right person in the cancellation dept who will keep throwing it out the window to keep you as a customer.
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
Nice!! Ive never tried that thinking they might go ahead and just cancel my service instead of giving me what I really want lol
[Atrix 4G General] UTZorro:
Don't worry about having that happen. The goal of their "cancellation dept" is to do just the opposite. It should be named the "retention dept"! The first thing the guy told me on the phone (which was kinda cheesy) was "I'm superman and I have superpowers to keep you a satisfied AT&T customer!" And he did indeed have the superpower to throw my existing contract out the window and alter the presale price of the Atrix. Just call up, act dissatisfied with your current phone...ask how much your termination fee is...point out that it's cheaper for you to switch carriers than pay full price for the phone... then you're on your way to a new cheap phone! :-D
[Atrix 4G General] domin8:
honestly all i did was log into my account on ATT, click the line i wanted to upgrade, and picked the atrix. it showed 199 instead of 499 even though my page said 'i am eligible to take advantage of their no commitment pricing until 2012'

i just noticed right now when i tried logging back into my ATT account i got this message:

so maybe it was a fluke or something? but i had printed out the confirmation pricing page and stuff and they are going to match it at the store since i wanted to keep my unlimited data package.

im sorry i cant provide more details, i dont really know how i managed this i'm just sharing my excitement :)
[Atrix 4G General] domin8:
when i'm able to get back into my ATT account ill post screen captures
[Atrix 4G General] jackxlj:
i ordered mine on the website out of contract,have my receipts showing the 199 price,lol. it was a flaw in the preorder website for the phone,it was because of the dock price, a att rep just reported to me. they called me and told me they would be canceling my order and redoing it at the full price,as it was an error, i told them to cancel my contract while they were at it,if they weren't going to honor a price i agreed to pay, they then agreed to let me buy the phones at the 199.99 price
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
Lol!! I guess that proves that "the customer is always right."
[Atrix 4G General] falconeight:
I did almost the same thing. I bought the inspire for 99 on a new service contract. I then went online 3 days later to see what the price of the atrix would be without contract. When I got to check out it was $199. The phone is now in the hands of fedex for delivery tomorrow.
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
The AT&T site has been down since some time last night! Maybe they are trying to fix this "glitch" lol!!
[Atrix 4G General] domin8:
yeah i am guessing they are fixing it now. i just know i printed mine out and have an appointment on tuesday to get mine ha

[Atrix 4G General] Maximum Bob Lutz:
still got a copy of that printout?
[Atrix 4G General] [DT]:
Same here. Bought a Captivate back in July '10, iPhone 4 in Nov '10, my line (the Captivate) was only ~7 months into my current 2 year contract.

Last Wed (the 16th) went through the normal process, added the phone as an "upgrade" for me, went in the cart for $199, changed (again, right online) from the $30 Unlimited Data to $30 Unlimited Data w/ HSPA+

I *suspect* this was simply an early upgrade allowance (plus pre-order discount), and I'll be into a brand new 2 year contract.

Phone is on the FedEx truck due to be delivered today (in the next hour or so).

:)
[Atrix 4G General] Driggity420:
I thought it might be some bs buuuuut i was blown away

It did the same thing i logged into my account and i checked my line for a non commitment upgrade i scrolled down to the atrix where the price was $499 so i clicked it and BOOM it says pre order for $199 i felt like this was a glitch or typo so i added the atrix to my shopping cart it sed my new device couldnt work with my current data plan (i have a grandfathered data plan) but they had one for the same price and said unlimitied domestic data usage and something at the end about HSPA+ so i figure its just changin my data so i can access the "4G" and keep the unlimited then i hit check out and there it was order number and comfirmation i then checked the email it sent to my mailbox which was the reciept i then logged back into my account and checked when my next upgrade will be and now it says not until 2/22/12 and before it sed 10/?/2011 needless to say im blown away as i was not expecting to be able to get this for for a while because no upgrade
[Atrix 4G General] Fuzzy John:
Interesting.... However if I follow the same steps I do not see the Atrix listed. I do not see the Inspire either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zizux:
Good review,

And I pretty much agree 100% with everything you have said.

But as I may have to have a FFC I'm going to keep my iphone 4 around for a while.

I still can't believe that I may actually have to have a FFC soon. HAHA whatever my company is odd.

I was running the DesireZ Rom on my HD2 and I'm quite pleased with how this runs in stock form. I can't wait to get rid of the junk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Androidude:
Coming from an HTC Aria, I also had concerns about battery life but was immediately impressed when I started using the Inspire. My first run of the battery from a full charge was about 28 hours which included phone calls, texts, web, pandora and much camera and video use at a concert. I got this phone expecting it to only last 12 hours max but was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a lot of battery drain even when not in use but that hasn't been the case at all. Battery consumption remains relatively untouched when the phone is not in use. I turn off data, gps and wifi unless I need them; I don't need things syncing constantly. I also keep the screen brightness at about 40%. I can't wait to see even better performance once I root and install a custom ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] greyhulk:
I should also mention that the Inspire charges very quickly, at least as fast as an iPhone and much faster than any of the Galaxy S phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] greyhulk:
One more update: I said in my review that the only thing I really missed was a FFC and the only thing I really used that for was self portraits.

I just discovered in the camera app on the Inspire, not only a self-timer (yay), but a "self portrait" setting. The self portrait setting automatically uses face detection to take the picture after you turn the phone around. I just tested it and the picture came out perfect.

I'm officially sold on this phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rhhebert:
That was totally my exact feelings. I love this phone! I sold my Iphone 4 for 445 and am so glad I exchanged the Captivate for this baby. The pictures are awesome! The speed is great and yes, there are apps I miss on Itunes, but my hubby has an Iphone 3gs...:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] zizux:
Grayhulk what is the name of that app?
[HTC Inspire 4G] greyhulk:
For self-portrait? It's built into the camera software. You launch the camera, then push menu and it's the first option.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
I tried playing with it but I'm a bear of little brain do I select self portrait then press the shutter then turn the camera around? Or turn the camera around and try to find the shutter button when I can't see it? :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] greyhulk:
You don't have to push any buttons. After you select self portrait, just turn the phone around and try to hold it steady while it finds your face. There needs to be at least decent light for it to work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
That's pretty cool. Thanks :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] barakalla:
Will it work on T-Mobile?

Do you guys think i will be able to use it on T-Mobile US, with 3g? I had a Desire HD but had to sell it because it was only Edge with T-Mobile

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Nope same problem all ATT phones have on T-Mob. The data is using the wrong radio frequency to be 3G it will be edge only.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bartimeus:
I tried out the demo in an AT&T store yesterday and I really love it. My one problem with it was the ring around the camera feels....wrong. I don't know if it was just that unit but you could turn it and it made it feel cheap. This isn't a big enough problem to keep me from buying this phone once my birthday comes around in April but it bothered me. Anyone else notice this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdessert:
Just tried to turn mine and it won't.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jdk2:
I'd need a pair of needle nose pliers to even begin to move mine. Sounds like the demo unit has seen some battle action.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Mine either
[HTC Inspire 4G] greyhulk:
I don't particularly like the way it protrudes, but I can live with it. A case would take care of that (it would even out the back so it was flush with the camera protrusion), but I don't like using cases on my phones.

You also have to be careful when you set it down, or it'll scratch the metal ring around the camera. While this protects the lens, it'll decrease the value later if you want to sell it. Otherwise, I love the build quality.

The only issue I have had is that the Messaging app seems to lock up my phone completely every so often. I haven't tried an alternative, like Handcent to see if the issue persists. I also couldn't place a call or get data today until I reset the connection (airplane on/off), which is a first for me.

Overall, pretty minor bugs for a very nice phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ufgrat:
After having tried it in low-ish light, I recommend LOTS of light, and disabling the flash.

Those spots in front of my eyes are laughing at me. :eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] x986123:
Right...

(10char)
[HTC Inspire 4G] greyhulk:
My flash never went off, but I noticed that if the room was too dark, it simply wouldn't detect my face.

Still an awesome feature that I've honestly never seen on phone camera software before.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
I prefer the ballistic case hc solved the oil slick effect using the screen protector they give you. I was wondering what a lot of you folks prefer using I don't mind a slightly bulky case fits great in my hand anyways thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Ballistic by far. I use the optional case at work and drop it down to the inside case for everything else. I love that the holster works either way.

My wife is still happy with the Trident Cyclops.

Both of our Seidio Rugged case's fell apart a long time ago.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kd0axs:

Ballistic is by far the best case out there.

With the Ballistic case your EVO is now officially the size of a brick.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
exactly. great case but way to big. Trident Cyclops is my fav and ive owned just about every evo case made.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
I have big hands brick works for me has many uses.
[EVO 4G Accessories] BigPapaBang:
Count me in for the ballistic. I'm in construction and I put it through the ringer. The phone doesn't have a scratch on it. I use the outer rubber sleeve at work then take it off for everyday use.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
I work indoor and outdoor love the fact it keeps all ports and camera lens free of scratches and dirt.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Ya I had a Seidio case from best buy called platinum and it broke in less then a few months I love the fact that this case is so tight its a pain in the ass to take apart but keeps everything secure and clean.
[EVO 4G Accessories] xlGmanlx:
case matte's naked case and for some reason i have been unintentionally drop testing it on my tile floors the past couple of day. Holding up pretty good other then minor imperfections
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Nice glad it's holding up. Like the fact mine I can knock out a window and still have a sexy phone in the end.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Right on man gotta love the case the screen protector fixes the oil slick effect one tough case can drop it on the pavement and it bounces never have to worry about the cam breaking.
[EVO 4G Accessories] m4xwellmurd3r:
I love my ballistics case and so does my girlfriend. I need a new screen protector though

I messed mine up putting it on and I don't like how the capacative buttons are cut out on it. Any suggestions? I know for I know for these cases need a glare reduction screen protector

Sent from my evo 4g
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
How did you mess the screen protector up if you got finger prints on it you can wash it down with glass cleaner or water and put it back on put it on wet and use the your ID or a card to smooth out air bubbles. If you really messed it up id check out ebay man you can probably find a screen protector that work like a champ pre cut. Or go by a zagg screen protector it should work for you i find the bottom part cut out on the stock ballastic screen protector annoying cause everytime you press a key down there it kinda sticks lol tho i have gotten use to it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mybikegoes200:
I gotta throw a vote in for Seidio Innocase Surface II. Not bulky at all. Leaves all buttons very easy to push. Compatible with their kicka$$ Innocase Car kit (cradle style holder - NOT a cheesy universal fit one). Will it hold up to being dropped from a 3rd story window? Unlikely. Can you throw your phone through a wall with this one? Doubt it. But if you're doing stuff like that with your phone (such silliness that requires a Superman-esq force field) - you really need to rethink having a $500 phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
I do alot of work in a shop and always leaning over a car and under cars plus anything outdoors mending fences and such kinda need the bulk too keep oil and grease and when your phone might get caught on something and yanked from your side its a good thing to have to keep your screen from getting the snot kicked outta it great for keep dust out. Ive seen the case your talking about there a good brand. Really depends on what you need and suit of taste. Ballistic case is rugged great for not in the office sort of jobs and lifestyle.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mikeschevelle:
I just ordered the Case Mate tough series we'll see how it works out
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:

I gotta give it to you guys. I have a Case-mate barely there and I think the phone is to bulky with it LOL.

Ok so I want to order a new replacement battery for my G2. the problem is I am a little weary because when I had a Moto Cliq before I ordered a new battery from Hong Kong, (dumb) which ended up blowing and possibly screwing my phone. Anyway I'm on Ebay and see a USA seller with a replacement for six bucks. What should I look for exactly when getting a replacement? I know I want to look for the keywords "direct replacement". Anyway, here's the link to it if you want to look.

[G2 and Desire Z General] xboarder56:
i would recomend buying on from t-mobile only 24.99 thats what I did
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
+1

If you are looking for an OEM replacement, $25 is not a bad price. There are many battery threads in the accessories section if you are looking for a non-OEM that has some more juice to it.

Just remember that you get what you pay for... A $6 battery in a device that would cost you $300-400 to replace off-contract... Doesn't quite add up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jtadak:
Thanks much guys. Pretty much what I was thinking.

But just like with my Roms from the G1 and MT3G (BiffMod) I wont release until its tested and I know it wont cause to many headaches. So if you want to test send me a PM only looking for like five, please make sure your serious and a knowledgeable android users who can give logcats and understand what a logcat shows. Thank you.

Great!

I had been doing CM7 nightlies (after Iced Glacier, CM6, and then CM7 Alpha and Previews), and after a number of episodes of having to fully wipe to clear up residual flash-over stuff (broken WiFi, etc.) which sometimes took hours, I had settled into the CM7 RC1 - which is working issue-free for me.

Now here comes honeycomb - and I am supposed to push the RC CM7 aside and start all over with this when it is made available?

lol - I just freaked out booting up CM7 colorized Build 12.

I was not paying attention to it booting up until the boot animation started up. He apparently loaded a honeycomb animation in - I though I had somehow downloaded a leaked ROM.

It takes quite a while to boot up after wiping system, dalvek, and cache - so I was relieved to finally see the the usual lock screen pop up.

Looking forward to seeing a honeycomb boot animation on a honeycomb ROM, but I agree with the plan to wait until there is a really usable ROM before it is released - keep on trucking !
