[Atrix 4G General] n7slc:
Nice review!
[Atrix 4G General] rapidstar:
Many of the folks here are seeing average to below performance with the battery. But you have rated it as exceptional. Can you provide more details on your usage during those 16 hrs?
[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
Nearly every topic you listed had negatives for the phone but you say its a solid device? Id give it 2/5 stars at best. Really disappointed.

The screen is horrible - cant even display yellow properly. Not to mention its pixelated and washed out.

Battery life is abysmal.

Really the only thing I found "good" with this phone, was the call quality.
[Atrix 4G General] illini71:
Im quite sure the color issue is software related. This phone was rushed out the door, lets not forget. I also think the camera could be optimized better through software also. This phone is just an infant. If we can get some custom roms on it the future is sky high for this phone. Right now it feels like a beta.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
I read your review and while it was thorough I do have one criticism, and it can be levied against pretty much anyone who has used an AMOLED device prior to the Atrix.

Everyone falls prey to the "Ohh shiny!" problem of the AMOLED screen. Oversaturated color is NOT accurate color. It's just like in big box retailers where they crank up the contrast and backlighting to make TVs "pop". My Blu-Ray player even has a "store" mode in the settings menu that turns on different lights and displays that aren't normally running just to draw your attention. If you had it setup that way at home you'd go insane (not to mention not being able to sleep from the light in the room). Just because it's bright and shiny does not mean that it's at all representative of the real world, and the average person just doesn't understand that.

Also, the picture you used in the screen portion of your review comparing the two phones has to do much more with the different screens' viewing angles than their perceived color reproduction accuracy.
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
Oh it doesn't feel like a beta maybe not polished but The Nexus S with 2.3 feels like a beta or RC;-)
[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
I usually use the device every other minute while I'm in classes or at work. I surf the net, usually visiting my blog and other tech blogs. Then I check out Analytics applications. I also watched a full episode of The Daily Show during my test... which was the biggest drain (Flash over browser). I don't know how anyone could say battery life was terrible. Battery life on this device matches my iPhone... and it's better than the battery life on any of my past Android devices.

It might seem like every category was negative, because I was trying to be critical of the device and point out its flaws. You must remember that all of the categories are weighted more than others. Speed and processing power is more important than the lack of video codecs... for example.

Have you used the device? You really believe it feels beta? I'm pretty shocked to hear that. This thing is incredibly fast, efficient, and sleek. I'm loving it so far.

This is partly true. Over-saturated colors aren't accurate. It is also true that the angle of the picture makes the Atrix's colors look worse.

I did that angle for a reason. It was the only way that I could show how the two screens look side by side in true life. Every other time, the camera would balance the colors and the Atrix would look equal with the Captivate. The picture under the screen section is actually a very accurate view of the comparison between the two screens.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
I understand the reason but it really provides a skewed view of the phone which is unfortunately a common problem in the media.

You must have a very sophisticated camera for it to compensate for different colors in different areas of an image. Mine (Canon Powershot S90) is only capable of adjusting white balance or hue/saturation/brightness/contrast over the whole of the image.
[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
Canon Rebel T21. It's a friend's.

Not sure if it was balancing colors or if my lighting was just poor, but it wasn't communicating the major color difference when I took a straight shot.

I did include a straight shot with screens on in the gallery of pictures within the review FYI.

But, the color difference is much more dramatic in real life. Whites look more accurate on the Atrix. Other than that, blacks and ROYGBIV look way better on the Super AMOLED.

However, I would still buy this phone over the Captivate any day. The screen is still wonderful... and the resolution is useful.
[Atrix 4G General] JD914:
Is it confirmed that the display is made of Gorilla Glass?
[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
Yes! :) And it works well!

Hi guys,

I don t know what is going on but I tried to flash other nand roms, everytime I flash (process seems to be successful) after the final reboot old rom is there.

Any idea?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Well it would help if you actually gave some kind of relevant information lol

What ROM do you have now?

What ROM are you trying top flash?

What flashing process are you trying to use? CWR? DFT?

Have you read instructions?

Have you read any guides?

This is that stock framework with the mod.

In the Zip I put in the .xml (de-compiled) for Rom and Theme builders.

Compiled framework-res.apk with the xmls in.

The Stock EB13 Framework

(this is for both 125 and 205 images.)

If your looking for mods with a option of Batt images, I will be updating my pages with in a day or so... Will have about 20 different options. :D

Sorry, I fixed it.
[Epic 4G Themes] blspyro:
This may be a dump question but where do the xml files go?
[Epic 4G Themes] savior02:

[Epic 4G Themes] Master K:
The included XML files are de-compiled. I guess they are for ROM builders. Don't try and use them unless you know how to compile them.

If you are a regular user ingnore them, just use put the framework-res.apk in the right place and you should be good to go.

I used winrar and placed my own images over he included ones to make my own custom version and never had to mess with the xml files.

[Epic 4G Themes] Bobulus:
So, I'm just checking to see if I understand this. If I take one of your dk28 deodex battery mods, open up the zip, replace the framework apk with your new framework apk, and install it with clockwork 3.0.0.6, that'll work?

edit: Yeah, that didn't work. Nothing crashed, but nothing changed, either. Hmm.

[Epic 4G Themes] latinmaxima:
This version worked for me on stock rfs eb13 deodex by dameon.
[Epic 4G Themes] ethomp:
It looks like in the 125 version, the framework-res.apk still has the uncompiled XML files.

I'm really new to the Apk Manager, but just for kicks, I thought I'd try decompiling the apk, copy the uncompiled XML files into the right directory, then re-compile it. Obviously, it threw errors about the 2 XML files since they weren't compiled. I put the 2 uncompiled XML files where they go then recompiled. When recompiling, it throws a bunch of errors in public.xml with undefined public symbols undefined.

I thought I'd try the 205 version, too. I uncompiled it successfully. I changed nothing. I then compiled it. It, too, threw the same errors in public.xml.

I think I'll wait until your mods are up. :)

Thanks for the awesome work!
[Epic 4G Themes] :
Any news? I just want 1% battery, i dont care what it looks like. But I do like the circle and the guage one. Does anyone have a EB13 CM3 version? Im running syndicate rom...
[Epic 4G Themes] threefs1234:
Maybe a stupid question, but how do I put these and other .apks on my phone?
[Epic 4G Themes] thomasskull666:
Either connect your phone to your computer using the included usb cable and press "Mount as USB drive" when it comes up on the phone, or insert the micro sdcard into the full size sd adapter also included with the phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porfymartinez:
So I did a perm. root and followed every single step. I installed the Virtuous ROM from ROM Manager and let it do its thing. It rebooted and started up, but at the begining all sorts of errors pop up and force closing. But every 2 seconds, an error with Swype keeps poping up. Needless to say, I just restored to my backed up ROM.

What did I do wrong?

Yeah, that makes a huge difference. Always wipe when switching roms. Sometimes I like to download them on the laptop and place them on the sdcard, instead of downloading from the phone.
[Fascinate General] chargerfn909:
Hey guys, noob here and am kind of hung up...:confused:

I d/l TB from the Market some time ago, I used it maybe 2 or 3 times to go through and delete a few unwanted apps. I went through a little tough period where I accidentally deleted 'Google Talk', I found the apk's and fixed that whole issue; however it seems ever since that incident TB will not fire up (correctly). It is telling me it cannot get root access (though I KNOW my phone is rooted). When I goto Problems>Get Busy Box it seems to d/l, but then I get an Error at the top of my device stating that it failed and to see the website for more trouble shooting. I have un-installed TB, re-installed and still noooo luck.

Does anyone have any idea whats going on? Thanks in advance!
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
Open superuser, tap on TB and "forget " su access. Reboot. Reopen TB and grant su access again.
[Fascinate General] chargerfn909:
Oddly enough it doesn't show any Apps on the 'apps' tab in su?

[Fascinate General] chargerfn909:
Think it was that EA28 update that did all this. Trying to figure out how to manually root now.
[Fascinate General] nitroglycerine33:
Probably the easiest way to get back to a stock rooted image would be to download an odin image and install it that way. Or are you trying to just get root access back?

You will have to try out Super Clean 2.5! It is compiled of nearly 75% of EB16 source code. The 2.4 I have had some battery life issues. About 12-14 hours tops on a full charge. I am hoping that super clean 2.5 will help with the issue. It might be something to look into.

I know this isn't Milestone2 specific but I'll post here anyway as that is the hardware I'm using.

The issue is this, I have two gmail accounts and I have to always add the google account I use for market purchases first so I can reinstall my previous market purchases. I then add my second account that is used for all other google activity including google talk but I can't see anywhere that will allow me to change the default account that google talk uses to login in to Android (it defaults to the first account you added).

I can't find a preferences/settings file and was hoping someone may have stumbled across how to do this?

[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Has anyone else noticed that some widgets won't snap to the outer edges?

For instance Accuweather won't move to the top row, and PowerAmp widgets won't start in the first column or end in the last.

Then, in that unused space between the widget and the edge you can't place an app either.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
The little pluses you see aren't where they go. Icons and widgets go in the space 4 pluses make. This seems to create alot of dead space.

[Xoom General] keitht:
Noticed that too with Accuweather. Not a very good widget in my opinion. Beautiful Widgets seems to do a better job and it is not even designed for Honeycomb.
[Xoom General] stevieraveon:
Yes, I understand that. I believe there is that deadspace so that things will look ok when you go from landscape to portrait.

I'm trying to put my PowerAmp widget in the right 2 colums that are available and the accuweather n thhe top row
[Xoom General] khov07:
Saw that too...I tried putting a 'Settings' icon in the top-right of my screen, right next to the Apps button, but I can't get it very close, so it looks goofy hanging out by itself (I get OCD if my screen isn't symmetric).
[Xoom General] diversificationied:
It's called negative space.

It's a good thing, visually.
[Xoom General] Ballzdeeeper:
Seems like they did that so the order of the icons are consistant when switching from landscape and portrait. On the same note, I noticed in landscape that you can tap the sides to scroll from page to page, but not in portrait. Might have needed room for that as well

[General Questions and Answers] Calyryan:
I bought a Nook Color hopping that I could use a custom rom to make it fit me. Well at this point all I need to know is how to get it back to factory settings so that I can return it. I've spent hours trying to find the information I need and I can't. I've tried all the files I could find and tried all the recommendations I could read. Please, all I need is a step by step on returning it to factory settings.

I rooted with "autonooter" then installed "Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 CWR for eMMC Update". I think I got rid of the rom (Customized Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 CWR for eMMC Update). But then there's "ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.6" that I can't get to seem to uninstall.

Update....

If anyone else runs into this go here and download the file appropriate for your device. If you figured out how to get as far as I did, then this should be a quick and easy fix, just be aware that the download takes a while unless you want to pay to download it...

[General Topics] Thrashavich:
So tomorrow I'm returning my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

I'll be returning it to the official AT&T retailer from where I purchased it.

For the sole reason of getting an HTC Inspire 4G instead.

Now..

I called the rep who sold me the phone.

He said I can return it, he'll waive the restocking fee and when asked if I have to reinstall the stock rom and fully restore it to factory condition he simply said "Bro, you don't have to. I don't give a f*ck what you have on the phone"

But i'm not sure if this guy is legit or simply doesn't know sh*t.

This phone is rooted, updated, and nearly all the AT&T bloatware removed.

Is there anyway I can be charged with some sort of penalty later on even though the rep said it's ok for me to return the phone in this condition?
[General Topics] souljaboy:
lol .. prolly the latter ...

if you have the free time on your hands id do it in your place
[General Topics] htrx:
If I were you I'd flash a stock ROM before returning it to AT&T.
[General Topics] dirtbaghh:
yah i think it 's better if you return it to the same state when you receive it.. flash it with x10's stock rom ... before you return it ... but i dont think they will charge you with the phone being modified
[General Topics] Jameswgm:
Might as well do it, it's not exactly going to take you that long, then there's virtually no chance of being screwed later.
[General Topics] FLAC Vest:
You should definitely do that. Also, there is a chance that he doesn't care but if the phone gets sent somewhere to be restores and they haave your name on file with he phone and stiff, it might void the return and they could charge you for it and ship the phone back.

I'm thinking of returning the Atrix but I only rooted it so you can't really tell something is done. I'm going back to stock anyway though.

Hello Everyone,

I am developing an application which will try to automatically authenticate a phone when connected to a wifi hotspot that is using a BlueSocket system. This is normally used in universities and colleges. I wonder is anyone out there in a BlueSocket campus? And if you are would you use this application?
[Android Software Development] davewuvswaffles:
I'd definitely find an app like this really useful.

I hate having to open my browser and *hope* that it'll redirect me to the bluesocket login page.

Good luck on the app
[Android Software Development] elmejor183:
Great, In my college the blue socket also does that, Sometimes redirects, and sometimes not. I have figured out that if the first page you attempt to access is a secure https:// page, then it won't redirect the traffic. However if its a regular, http:// page, then there is redirection. But that however works when it wants to. Some computers or browsers don't like being redirected like that i believe.

I currently have the app being able to specify what the server url is and login details, but some servers redirect weirdly. I will hopefully upload a beta in a couple of days.

Thanks for your interest.
