[General Questions and Answers] my_handle:
I got a phone from Best Buy to try out service through Verizon but for me the service isn't any better than T-Mobile (this is my opinion not yours so don't comment on that please). My question is do I need to unroot the Inc that I bought or just wipe and give back?
[General Questions and Answers] tjhart85:
I would just flash a stock ROM to be on the safe side, but you can just wipe & ADB remove the root files.
[Atrix 4G General] davidusr:
This HAS to be posted here somewhere, but I didn't find it. And I'm usually the last guy to figure this stuff out...

Went to "Manage Apps", touched ATT Nav, noticed "uninstall" wasn't grayed out. So, I touched "uninstall", and it did. Didi'nt come back after a reboot. All the ATT stuff is uninstallable.
[Atrix 4G General] rbrandow:
That's good news! Makes me feel a little bad for dismissing it out of hand in favor of an Inspire.
[EVO Shift 4G General] abanh:
Evo user here -

When you guys turn 4g off, does it actually turn off? With the evo, 4g will disconnect and the icons give the indication that you turned it off. But, when checking alogcat it shows the Sequans wimax chip constantly trying to connect but erroring out. This causes a battery drain, and the only way to truly turn it off is by rebooting the phone. The Shift I believe uses the same wimax chip so I'm wondering if HTC fixed this issue.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nautical34:
No, same issue on the Shift. Though I'm not sure how much battery it actually uses..
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
I have another thread going with a 4g issue. I was having problems with 4g coming on at boot when it was turned off at shutdown. Wondering if the issues are related...

I ended up trying out a custom Rom, decided I didn't like it and went back via nandroid. When I restored, the problem was gone.

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] abanh:
I read that thread - with the Evo I've seen that same issue whenever using a widget or switch to disable 4g. If you go into menu-settings-wireless settings and turn 4g off that way it won't turn on at boot.

The 4g not turning off at all is a known issue with the Evo; I was just hoping HTC had fixed the issue.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bobtsunam:
With my issue I made sure that 4g was turned before reboot. For some reason when the phone booted back up 4g would come on by itself. I wiped to try a Rom and ended up not liking it. When I restored from nandroid it went away. Would like to figure out what caused this. Might be the switcher from beautiful widgets I had but it seems like the condition would follow the backup I made right before I tried the Rom....

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] NuAngel:
Just a little confused... people saying "no, the 4G chip never turns off" I have a question for. Why is my battery life so much higher when not in 4G mode, even if idle, in an area with 4G reception?

I understand that where I work I have no 4G signal and that will suck battery even faster, but even in my apartment where I get great 4G reception, I can see a difference in battery life with 4G disabled.

[EVO Shift 4G General] abanh:
If you have aLogcat downloaded from the market you can see the wimax chip constantly trying to initialize. It doesn't go into full on scan mode. It's just slightly annoying that to completely turn off 4g after using it the phone has to be rebooted.
[EVO Shift 4G General] NuAngel:
Now I get what you guys mean. Thanks! :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japetrou5:
When I disconnected my captivate from my computer, and go to turn on my phone, the only thing that pops up is this picture, and that even happens when I pulled out the battery. Do you have any idea what is wrong with it and how I can fix it? It's hard to see but the screen has a little phone connected to a computer with an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle (error sign).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Ur join date and posts count makes me think u bought Captivate recently. So, please pull out battery, and let us know the build date of ur phone. It is generally of the form MM.YY or MM.YYYY. E.g., 10.09, 10.12, etc.

I know what download mode is, and now that i know i need to get it back into download mode, i searched up methods of how to do it and found a good solderless jig at

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
Good Job. One-Click is not for everyone. Have a Thank You, sir.

We should really ask the DEV to post in his sticky which build numbers are b0rked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Thank you, and yes, this question should be made as sticky to save the users some headache. They could make/order the JIG first n then start experimenting.

Can't recall if its 10.08 or 10.09 the last build for Odin 1 Click to work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japetrou5:
diablo009

yeah. Unfortunately my phone was sent in to samsung without my knowledge, so i cant tell you the build date, but if you still want to know to make a list or something, i can tell you when i get it back.

By the way:

I have had my phone for around 3-4 months, but have only recently taken an interest in customizing it, so i don't really have experience with hacking, and very complicated software, but am trying to learn, which is why I made an xda account.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
so were you still on stock rom? you sent it in for waranty?

and it sounds like for download mode you are going straight to a jig. did you try the normal way first?

shut it off unpluged, hold VOL + & -, then Plug in, 1sec release vol (no power button)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuitjerker:
I believe build dates 1010 or newer...Jh7 firmware are one click bricks......1007 has three button download guaruntee 1008/09 are hit and miss and sometimes require a jig.....the build date/number is under the battery or try powering of remove battery hold the 3 button , place battery in and release the power while holding the volume ...works for me ..good luck!

Edit: Look into Odin3...for 1010-1012builds.. please read the forums first!...may find u a solution there. But please refrence ur Build number for the proper procedures.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mogkupopppo:
I don't post much but I did a little search but can't found my answer for this.

NAND chips have limited write and erase life cycles and some are around 100,000. then from my understanding NAND rom are running Android right on the NAND without using the RAM part of the phone, which means everytime you do something you will be writing in the NAND like opening an app.

so I am wondering if these NAND builds will one day kill our phones.

will a RAM build will be better for phone life?

life as in the phone, not battery
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
You're phone will most likely die another way or have other hardware fail before your NAND fails. These devices aren't meant to last for more than a few years. I wouldn't worry about it... your processor and buttons will most likely fail you first.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mogkupopppo:
well I just hope it will last at least 4 year because if any thing breaks I can replace them but if part of the board breaks then it can't be fix. well for most people at least
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolbeer1990:
Listen bro ...if its 100000 as u said ....then even if u flashg 100 roms per month . ..then for the whole year its 1200 ...and to complete 100000 times u have to use ur fone for 80 years ...till that time ...i dont know ...what gonna happen ..and even if u flash a 1000 times a month ...still u can run the fone for abt 7 yrs ....so chill :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nightcraw:
Offical Windows ROM's internal memory is NAND too. The Windows ROM is using the internal memory exactly the same way (read / write). System files are mostly read only, this is true for Android as well (flash once) system partition does not get written normally. So There is really no different how the ROMs (WM or Android) are using the NAND memory.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolbeer1990:
thats it ? ;) ... am gonna take this phone to heaven with me ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
also, its 100,000 + writes per individual cell, not 100,000 for the whole memory,, so many cells will be wayyyyyy less than 100,000 when the first ones get there, , plus flash memory has spare unadressed memory cells, which it brings online as cells start to fail. 512meg will have 16 - 64 meg worth of spare capacity, depending on teh quality/manufacturer.

You could flash daily for ten years and still have only a handfull of bad cells.
[Atrix 4G General] lorijuan1024:
I currently have an iPhone 4 but want to go back to android which should I get? I am on AT&T but looking to buy out of contract from selling my iPhone so I wan the atrix but I love the screens of the samsungs. I would get the nexus s but I am going to switch to tmobile in like 2 or 3 months. So I will just wait till I move or get the galaxy s 2 in that time

And I believe the vibrant can work on AT&T 3G so any idea which phone I should get for these 3 months

I can get the captivate for 150 but I want to know if it is worth dishing out 400-500 for the atrix and yes I did got to AT&T today and mess with both phone but still ify so anything can push me over the edge

[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
My custom mod captivate blows this atrix out of the water. It literally does nothing my captivate cant already do. Not to mention my captivate can produce the color YELLOW... Oh and my captivate can actually use the HSUPA network... unlike this phone which was a bait and switch 4G phone that produces half the network speed of my iPhone and captivate. Capped upload speeds of 180kiloBITS per second is dial up age speed. Yes thats kiloBITS not bytes...

This phone is a gimmick piece of junk to be honest. I wanted to love it... but there is nothing about it that I want to keep.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
You have to remember the phones been out for 2 days plus is the first tegra 2 dual core device so bugs are supposed to be expected.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Well my opinion is going to be pretty much the opposite of the first reply, but I think it depends on what you're trying to do ultimately.

For someone who does a lot of heavy, and I mean heavy usage with the phone over a variety of applications, the Atrix is amazing; I love everything about it.

Amazingly fast and it doesn't slow down it close applications when I'm using a lot of things at one time.

The pixel density is great as well; everything is more condensed and compact.

The build is great, and overall I'm pleased with the phone coming from a rooted and ROMed Captivate.

Rooted/ROM Captivate

Rooted Atrix
[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
Out for 2 days but has a locked boot loader. Not to mention you only get 30 days from purchase to decide if you want it. It hasnt done anything out of the box but disappoint. And trust me, I really wanted to love this phone. It did a great job of turning me off.
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
The decision is ultimately up to you. However, I love my Atrix compared to the Captivate (Brother-in-law has it) I use my Atrix heavily over the day, using the mobile hotspot (with the custom APN), browsing, playing music, etc. My battery is still good by the time I get home from college or work.

Moto seems like it will be addressing our bootloader problem (for good or bad I have no clue, but any response is better than none). So hopefully those troubles will be over soon.

Also, psufan, I don't know where you live but I'm getting 320 kilobytes a second. Constantly.
[Atrix 4G General] psufan5:
Unless you are on an actual 4G enabled market (there are 6 of them) its impossible for you to be getting this since HSUPA is turned OFF in the modem firmware. You are getting 320 kiloBITS not bytes. iPhone 4 gets 1.5MB for comparison. If you were getting kilobytes you would have one of the fastest uploads on the market - which you dont.
[Atrix 4G General] Carne_Asada_Fries:
I would just wait for the Galaxy S II but if you're going to be switching to T-Mobile soon then you may want to consider the Nexus S as well.
[Atrix 4G General] xavenged:
Got the atrix on launch day. I will be returning it tomorrow and going back to my vibrant until the galaxy s2 is out. I like this phone don't get me wrong but there are just more things that I dislike about it than I like about it. This phone is definitely not worth keeping and extending my contract for another 2 years thats for sure.
[Atrix 4G General] Deca4:
I agree I like my customized Captivate much better. I understand the dual core is buggy and there will be fixes with no doubt about that but the deal breaker is Motorolla's OS interface and screen. I like captivate screen and OS interface much better. Once you go AMOLED it's hard to go back to a regular screen.

I'll maybe returning my Atrix and wait for the Galaxy S II. I did take in consideration the Atrix has a faster processor and will get faster with newer OS but Galaxy S II will have a bigger and better AMOLED screen. By the time they make an Android OS to take full advantage of dual processor there will be newer and better dual processor phones, hopefully with the AMOLED screen.

If I had to choose between the 3 phones you talked about, I'd go with the used Captivate if I was with ATT. If I was with Tmoble I'd go with the Vibrant. I'd save the upgrade option for up coming Android phones. This would my choice but not everyone is the same.
[Atrix 4G General] MarcMaiden:
Id go with the atrix.

90% of the problems i keep reading on every forum come from Iphone users who dont know how to use android,

or people who do not want to take the time to find answers to their questions.

people who complain about moto blur are usually complaining about it because someone told them it isnt good. Moto blur is pretty much stock android with a different dock bar and some icons skinned differenly. Other than that is pretty much normal android. Any replacement launcher will do the trick is need be

the only real thing is the HSUPA ordeal, but thats on any AT&T phone, and as of right now but most people dont really need it anyways
[Atrix 4G General] rex-tc:
Your custom Captivate still lacks processing power, 1080p video, HDMI port, GPS that works, readable text, true WHITES (non oversatured colors), front' facing camera, HSPA+, 1/2 the ram and only DDR (instead of DDR2), official release beyond 2.1, decent docks, crap battery, etc. The UPLOAD cap is not because of the phone and it is temp thing anyways. Wait until applications start requiring dual-core processing/ram requirements and we will see how well your Captivate holds up.

So back on topic.... Ya I say get an Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] s44:
Wait for SGS2 -- the screen will be *much* better and the locked Atrix kills half the point of Android (true customization).
[Atrix 4G General] spirit32:
galaxy s is so 2010. get the atrix or wait for the galaxy s2.
[Atrix 4G General] crawlgsx:
I think the Atrix is a really nice phone, but I too think I am going to return mine and go back to the iPhone 4 until the S2 comes out.

If I were going to exchange it for a phone now I would get the Inspire 4g. 2 of my friends have exchanged theirs for the Inspire 4g with custom roms and are very happy. They have all the animations in the world and are smooth as can be. They have full upload (unlocked hsupa). 4.3" screen with some better colors (personally I compared them at AT&T and did not like the over saturated colors. It reminded me of turning on Digital Vibrance on a video card). Slightly lower battery life, but it also doesn't take forever to charge, and of course a slew of custom roms.
[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
something the Atrix (and every other phone out there) can do that the Captivate (or any SGS phone) cannot:

[Atrix 4G General] Digital1325:
The SGS II isn't even out yet, I'm sure the GPS issue will be addressed on it.
[Atrix 4G General] lorijuan1024:
i most likely will get a captivate till GS 2 comes out i am still considering
[Atrix 4G General] shep211:
I have both phones and the captivate does not win in anything. I have no issues with my atrix screen. It looks just as good and has better colors then my captivate. It really depends on what you want to do. If you like flashing roms then get the captivate. If you want the fastest phone out with webtop features then get the atrix. The atrix will have custom roms in time but is it really needed? I use launcher pro on my atrix and it runs faster then any phone with custom rom. The cativate sucks stock. You need custom rom with lag fix to make it run good. The atrix does not need a custom rom to run good.
[Droid X General] Kalebskalicky:
Ok so I know that you can "hack" your way into opening 3g hotspot for the DInc but I tried doing the same process on the X and it doesn't work. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the "3g hotspot" for free? No I do not care about wireless tether or anything else that requires root. Yes I do know that I can download an app for wired tether. I just want to be able to unlock 3g hotspot for the DX. Thank you!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Yes you can. Team Black Hat had a flashable .zip that allowed for it to work without paying the fee. You do have to be rooted however, as this flashable file needs to be flashed through bootstrap recovery, which requires root.

Yea if you want to share wifi unrooted... you'll have to use pdanet, or pay Verizon... those are your only options. Sorry.

[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I can't remember if I saw it on Xda, but in re-reading this thread, I think some people found that if they open the Hot-Spot app from Verizon, point a PC or phone to the "wifi hotspot" and then turn on airplane mode, then turn it off and go back and try to connect again that it will work.

Don't know if this has been patched in the 2.3.340 OTA or anything... may want to give it a try...

whats your with using the newest wireless tether? it supports infrastructure mode now so you can use it with literally everything (and free!)

if rooting is your concern, as chad said, z4root will automatically do it from your phone in about 10 minutes. all you have to do is press permanent root.
[Droid X General] Kalebskalicky:
Ok.... This thread was pointless. Yes I know 3g hotspot is called "tethering" but all I'm trying to find out is if you can unlock the 3g hotspot that comes on the phone from verizon. I do not want to download an app to tether internet or even one that will allow me to use my mobile broadband via usb.

If you do not know an answer to my question "How to unlock or hack the 3g mobile hotspot so that I can use it for free?" then please do not post. Thank you very much.

I'm not trying to be rude or mean, I'm just trying to find an answer.

[Droid X General] luredale:
Hotspot activation

This works on the Droid X Verizon network:

Go to applications and click on 3G Mobile Hotspot

First check to see the settings by hitting menu and selecting Advanced

Click on Wifi AP mode settings

Security should be set to WPA2

Click on show password: You'll need this when logging on to your hotspot

Click save and arrow back to 3G Mobile Hotspot

Check the box to start application. Once it connects:

Go to your phone dial pad and enter this string:

*#*#4636#*#*

A screen will open: Testing

Press Phone information and scroll down to the button that says:

Turn off radio

Press this and wait for it to turn off

Then press it again to turn it back on. Try to do these steps quickly as the Hotspot will turn off by itself and you'll have to redo these steps.

Your hotspot is now activated as a WIFI and you can log on with your password.

The bad part is:

Keep your phone plugged in whenever possible because the battery will drain quickly and everytime you turn off the 3G Hotspot, you'll have to redo these steps.
