Multitouch

3+ finger touch isn't important if you're talking about everyday use i.e.: pinching and zooming in the broswer, gallery, maps etc.. It's really only good for gaming, that's why the iphone has a ton of games that recognize multiple touches. I played the psx emulator on my inspire 4g, and it's ability to recognize four fingers was useful. I was able to control a character with my left thumb and use two fingers on my right hand to hit both should button (all on screen icons) at the same time, with no problems. So yeah, it's not important for everday practical use and should'nt be a deal breaker, but if gaming is something important to you, you may or may not be disappointed when playing some games.

I had an atrix a couple of weeks ago that I had to sell because of this. It gave me problems when I'm typing. I guess I was just used to my iphone and my cappy.
[Atrix 4G General] kojitabe:
Hi all,i'm sorry to bring this thread back alive.

I'm planning to buy this phone,but i'm wondering about the multitouch issue.

After stock gingerbread update,does atrix still support two fingers multitouch or increase?

As we know that O2x support up to ten point multitouch. :D

Thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G General] Cubeplayer:
All of the custom roms support more multi touch points. Not sure about stock GB though.
[Atrix 4G General] kojitabe:
Thanks for your enlightenment..

So it's good for gaming?
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
I think all the deblurred and custom roms support more than two finger multi touch. Look for the multi touch hack in the development forum. They have a cwm zip for it. Just flash it and u should be fine. If u r too lazy to search or install a custom/deblurred rom then nobody can help you.

Note: Always search for your questions before posting.
[Atrix 4G General] kojitabe:
Thanks for the clue,but i haven't buy yet.

I'm planning to buy this phone,since my hero is outdated.

The internal memory on your phone is broken. You need to send your phone off to be repaired.
[Streak 5 General] yarco89:
omg..

how i can do?

i must send it to assistance?

or there is some other method for repair it?
[Streak 5 General] bonanote:
I tried the following and it worked. Remove back cover, remove battery, blow with your lips pressed to the left of where the sim/external sd card is placed two or three times vigorously. It seems this might work because the internal SD card is placed under the plastic right below where I was blowing and it might "reset" the contacts by blowing away any dust that might have blocked . It is not very scientific but it surely beats having to open the whole device to change or clean the internal SD card. Let me know it works ( I battled several hours to come up with this solution)
[Streak 5 General] BlueCrystal:
Opening the phone isn't terribly hard, but getting the top and bottoms to stick after is hard. Just call dell and theyll have one to you in two days if you are in the US.
[Streak 5 General] GAVOTTA11:
I am also desperate not to do, I've tried everything and I can not reset the dell streak remains in the dell logo, I tested and nothing multirecovery both as ClockworkMod streak mode.

My problem was that the screen changes and then we did not want to reboot, also gives me this message when I start ClockworkMod:

e: can not mount / dev / block / innersd0p5

e: can not mount CACHE: recovery / log

e: can not open CACHE: recovery / log

e: can not mount / dev / block / innersd0p5

I also tried to rapairtool and nothing seems that if you add everything but does not finish starting.

Please help, thank you very much.
[Streak 5 General] GAVOTTA11:
The solution was to take it with the technician, opened it and found a short in the internal memory so it would not start, the safest thing is you have to take it to repair, the system is not the problem is internal memory, my dell streak works great, and I hope it serves you something. Take it to repair ok there is no other solution. A greeting and that everything goes well.

Hi guys thanks for your time, so this is my doubt

When i turn on my phone i have 170 MB available memory but after a while down to 70 MB sometimes to 40 MB, what should i install to have more than 100 MB free?? i already have hardcore@speedmod-k12l 256Hz #97 Kernel and 2.2.1 XXJPY firmware.

thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exclamationmark:
Usually this won't matter because with the Android OS, it will usually keep all the stuff you close (internet, contacts, recently accessed menus etc) cached in it's RAM as a non active application until you happen to tab into it again, thus instantly loading.

Android is also smart enough to know since the application is inactive, if it's eating your memory, it will force-close these applications to free up memory for the new applications. ie, I'm running internet, close it, and my memory is up to 280mb, then try to run AngryBirds and it will close the Internet app + others if it has to.

So... usually not an issue, but if it does become an issue you can run a service/task killer app that will handle all nonactive apps and terminate them. Or you can just clear level 1+2 ram periodically and it will reset it back to default until it starts filling with crap again.

android doesn't need a task killer, as it kills tasks itself.. i don't know why there are so many out there they just eat up battery..

one app I would suggest is 'auto-killer' its free and I have mine set to aggressive. that's all you need to do then forget about it.. it keeps your memory from getting bogged down.

If you have the T-Mobile 3G version, then there's nothing you can do to get At&t 3G other than trying to trade it for an At&t 3G version. Its in the antenna hardware, so it doesn't matter what radio firmware you try to flash to it.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
Honest question here. I'm having a hard time finding the atrix for less than 600$ considering that i live in Venezuela. Today i have just learned that the Nexus S is coming to at&t (don't know when)

I have seen people on this forum that has the Nexus S and bought the atrix.

Can you try to make an objective review of both devices?

So far, what i know:

-Same size

-Much better screen on the nexus, although with a smaller resolution

-Dual core on the atrix, single core on the nexus, but different processors (samsung makes their own chip)

-Gingerbread on the nexus, froyo on the atrix, although it WILL get the update, but we don't know when.

-Stock home screen on the nexus, blur on the atrix.

-Unlockable bootloader on the nexus, signed on the atrix

-SIM-unlocked on the nexus, at&t locked on the atrix

-Better build quality on the atrix

-Laptop dock, media dock on the atrix (i don't care about them)

-LED light on the atrix, which i like since i am using a blackberry

-Smaller RAM on the nexus, although none wasted for the laptop dock

-Gyroscope on the nexus

-NFC on the nexus

-Bigger battery on the atrix (that doesn't mean it is better than the nexus)

-Slightly better camera on the nexus (no blue/purple tint) for still photos, but not even 720p that is on the atrix

For those that have both, what has been your experience?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cegna09:
you more than likely won't get honest answers here. The nexus S fanboys will come crap on the atrix, teh atrix fans will tell them to F-off and leave, and none will help you.

decide what is important to you in a phone, then see which device fits that list better.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neer2005:
As a long term investment I would pick the Atrix because I'm sure that we will see custom ROMs and the fact that it is dual core probably means it will take more time to get outdated.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
Also, while may not be important to everyone in every case, the Nexus S lacks an SD card slot so you're stuck with the 16gb of internal memory.

In my case, that in itself is a deal breaker...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spielnicht:
- Much better screen on the nexus, although with a smaller resolution

* This honestly comes down to preference. I love the Atrix screen, it's like night and day coming from a Nexus One. I think the Nexus S' colors are way off for me and I'll be damned if I find a difference between the Atrix and iPhone 4 when looking at them straight and for 99% of common use.

- Gingerbread on the nexus, froyo on the atrix, although it WILL get the update, but we don't know when.

* I don't see the benefits of Gingerbread until version 2.4 (dual core support), so right now, they're equal IMO.

- Stock home screen on the nexus, blur on the atrix.

* Blur isn't that bad, I actually like it. It's no where near as intrusive as HTC Sense or as lame as Samsung TouchWiz. Try it, you'll like it.

- SIM-unlocked on the nexus, at&t locked on the atrix

* I bet it won't be long before unlock codes are available online

- Better build quality on the atrix

* No arguing that.

- Laptop dock, media dock on the atrix (i don't care about them)

* Meh, they're a gimmick IMO

- LED light on the atrix, which i like since i am using a blackberry

* Once you get used to it, there is no going back.

- Gyroscope on the nexus

* Android isn't known for gaming, so I fail to see the need for one

- NFC on the nexus

* Until 2015 (sarcasm) where it's adopted by everyone, it's a gimmick

- Bigger battery on the atrix (that doesn't mean it is better than the nexus)

* No, it's better.

- Slightly better camera on the nexus (no blue/purple tint) for still photos, but not even 720p that is on the atrix

* Excuse us, that would 1080p on the Atrix, soon at least
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cegna09:
for the last time, the froyo build on the atrix supports multi-core. It's all the apps that need to be re-written to make use of it. Even the ones that don't are still seeing a 1Ghz processor, which is on par with the rest of the smart phone world.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spielnicht:
Thanks for correcting me, somehow I missed that bit of information.

So there you have it, aside from the improved power management and maybe SIP, we don't get that much "new" stuff over Froyo. Granted, I wish we did have that fancy copy-n-paste. Why am I reminded of Apple all of a sudden?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nucentury08:
Whatever you pick will be top end if you like to hack and want updates and the best viewing screen or want to do hard core games in the near future witch android is on the rise each day with games from ios then you want nexus s and its gyroscope.But if you don't care to flash and hack but wanna try out the first DC phone and all it brings in its young stage along with a laptop terminal go Atrix or you can just buy the new redfly witch is the same thing and works on any Android device like the atrix Doc but again you can't go wrong
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
Unless you're not really a big fan of racing games or those marble labyrinth-type games.... at which point the idea of the gyroscope is even more pointless.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phobos512:
I don't know what the obsession people have the gyroscope is - no other phones have it at this point except the iPhone 4. The Atrix has a motion sensor which is a MEMS chip similar to whats in PS3 controllers, PS3 Move controllers, the Wii, etc. The phone is plenty able to support motion gaming just as all previous Android phones have been assuming they've been powerful enough in the processor / RAM department to do so.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
I'm actually very interested in the Nexus S vs Atrix 4G debate.

Here's why I am reluctant to get the Atrix 4G

, please try to refute these points:

1) Froyo/Blur: It won't get Ice Cream before Christmas. Ditto for

Gtalk video chat

which is quite important for me.

2) The locked/signed/encrypted Bootloader issue: The Atrix might never get custom ROMs. If it ever does, it will take forever for hackers to make Ice Cream dual-core optimized, then Tegra 2 optimized....etc.

3) PenTile LCD: Sure the NS is PenTile too, but Super AMOLED makes up for that with insane contrasts.

4) Camera: Produced images seemed a bit underwhelming.

Here's why I want the Atrix 4G:

1) Tegra 2 (although there seems to be little real life benefits to it); won't be outdated soon.

2) 720/1080p recording

3) Excellent build quality, with gimmicks like the fingerprint reader

4) I actually like Motoblur widgets

And here's why I am reluctant to get the Nexus S:

1) No 720p video recording(!)

2) Plastic, cheap case (especially the back)

3) No HSPA+ support

4) Old-gen SoC (although in real life peforms close to a Tegra 2 with Froyo)

And finally, here's why I want the Nexus S:

1) Super AMOLED colors and contrasts look breathtaking

2) Will get Ice Cream, (along with Gtalk video) the moment it's released in May/June -no need to wait months for hackers to optimize it (provided that the bootloader issue is solved)

3) Costs $100-$150 less

So since money is a big deal for me, I'm thinking I'll get Nexus S for the year, and by Christmas 2011, I can get the new Dual-core Nexus (with the new Android) or get a Terga 3 phone, or maybe even a Glasses-free 3D phone....

What do you guys think?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spielnicht:
Trust me when I tell you this is no gimmick, but an extremely useful and valid feature. If you connect to a Corporate Exchange account that requires a PIN, you have no idea how annoying it is to have to type that 6 digit code every time you switch the phone on (thanks 2.2.1 update, sigh). With the biometric sensor...it doesn't require it from you (optional if you want it). If I were to ignore all the great benefits of owning the Atrix and just focus on the sensor...it's enough to justify getting the phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
I believe you. But what about all the other points (most importantly, Ice Cream)? I've also been reading about all the horribly disappointing Atrix 4G experiences people are having (slugginess, fingerprint reader slow....etc) -check this thread for example:

GPS is another reason you don't have listed. GPS on the NS is just as bad as the Captivate/I9k. On the Atrix I got a lock inside a concrete and steel building, which seemed like a miracle to me after my Captivate experience.

People that are happy with their phone don't take the time to post about how great it is.

I'm loving mine so far. I'm not sure that the people who are saying that things are sluggish or slow aren't just making things up to try and make people as miserable as they are.

As for custom roms.... most of the time people clamor to them because the base experience is bad. (e.g. captivate) I haven't seen a need for it yet, especially since we had tethering available out of the box already.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squadfer:
You also got to realized that this is a forum. People ask questions/complain when something doesnt work. That is why you are seeing all these hate threads to the atrix. Also, the trend these days is to complain when some thing isnt spoon fed to you. I personally love my new atrix and i havent had a single thing become an issue for me.

I personally love the display on the atrix over the nexus s. Reason is because I would rather look at natural colors instead of seeing super saturatured colors. All my other displays use natural colors (computers, tv's).

I also love the finger print reader on this phone. It has worked every time I have used it but then again im not trying to make the thing read a finger swipe thats only .0001 seconds long...

We are all on the same team here, Andriod is much better then Ios :) and phones will continue to keep being pushed out every 2 months. I would sit the two phones next to each other and pick one that works best for you because two months from now that phone wont be the best anymore.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanthered:
1) You will more than likely get Ice Cream before Xmas on the Atrix. Rumored to be released this summer so that should give Moto plenty of time to integrate it. With Nexus you are pretty much guaranteed to get the update once available.

2) Moto has stated they are working to allow devs to unlock the bootloader eventually. This is like point 1), the uncertainty of trusting Motorola but I think it will happen, just a matter of when.

3) Personal preference. I prefer the Atrix screen over Nexus S for the most part simply because I need to see my screen outdoors.

4) They are. Not much different than any other Android device out there. However, I installed Camera360 for my phone app which has helped get some great shots.

It might help to really prioritize your needs and see which one stacks up like others have said. For me it was Performance, Battery, Size/Weight, Display, Future relevance, Connectivity, Expandability. Atrix wins on all counts in that respect.

Here's why I am reluctant to get the Atrix 4G

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squeak22:
/caseinpoint

Exact opposite of what I have heard. People also claim that the GPS of the captivate works "as well as their Garmin", which, while also making the same point, I don't believe because there were about 70 threads in the captivate/i9k developer forums about trying to make it better.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
Do you own a Nexus S? Because I've had 4 of them and all of their GPS worked very well, as well as my Nexus One/MT4G. I've had 2 Vibrants as well, and that GPS was clearly broken. I get the feeling you just made this up based on your captivate experience.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spielnicht:
Realistically, you're not going to get anywhere by asking people whom are PRO both phones. You'll have to try them out for yourself and see which one you like.

All I'm going to say is 99% of the negative comments abouts the Atrix are completely exaggerated, false, or are happening on a random basis for some owners because while I'm one of the pickiest people, I can't find that much wrong with this phone. Slow fingerprint reader? Mine is blazing fast and works with one swipe.

I've owned a Nexus One for almost a year and while it was a good phone, it lacked a lot of cool and useful features as well. Take for example MTP. I was dumbfounded to discover I had to sync my phone as a USB drive. Yesterday when I connected the Atrix for the first time, I was like a baby with candy to find out it supported MTP. The Nexus S might be nice, but if it's anything like the Nexus One, while powerful and easy to hack, it's not intended for everyone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humancyborg:
Agreed, no issues on any of the Nexus I have owned (3)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
It all depends on what you want out of your phone.

Are you a hacker/modder? If you know your way around android yeah nexus s prob best. If you just want a top notch device out of the box atrix is one of the best out in the market. These days hardware is hardware. Couple month from now there will be better device announced that will trump the atrix.

I myself like the upgrades and modding that is capable on the nexus s. If atrix is capable I get their atrix. MOTO did mentioned that they will be willing to work with devs so they might release how to unlock their bootloader.
