i would never trust any shipment to venezuela directly, so i use a courier in miami that actually sends the stuff down here. i am suru brazil must have lots of couriers as well
[Atrix 4G General] ali9686:
looks like walmart will be a good place to get it. looking forward to it.
[Atrix 4G General] rajeshr:
BTW, some of the online stores will not sell the phone to you if you are not an AT&T customer. The off-contract price is only for AT&T customers who do not want to sign a new contract.

If you do not happen to be an AT&T customer, you will need to pay a full price ($599 @ Amazon or BB, $575 at the AT&T store). This is what I was told at one BB and two AT&T stores. If you happen to be lucky, some clueless sales person may sell you one at no-contract price even if you are not an AT&T customer.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
from what i have searched all the links i have posted allow you to buy without being an att customer.
[Atrix 4G General] rajeshr:
The one that I tried (letstalk.com) does not allow you to do that. I even tried their CS department and was told I needed to have an AT&T account to get the off-contract pricing. Wal-mart was the same.

Additionally, both Cells4u and Amazon are now showing a back-ordered status. Mobilecityonline and cellhut do not have any stock as yet nor do they know when they will be getting any either. I've talked to Expansys and they have no idea when they will have them in stock either.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
before posting the link i just chose existing att customer to get the off contract price and continued, it asked for my credit card and address and i stopped there. i guess i will have to wait for mobilecityonline
[Atrix 4G General] Fausty:
Actually, after you enter your CC details, it then asks you for your social security number and current ATT phone number
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
ouch... and on top of that they will be going the wirefly route and stop selling at&t phones starting march 8.

this sucks
[Atrix 4G General] bl0wf1sh:
Cellhut - no. Two more sources

I would not trust cellhut. Their ratings (if you google for that) are abysmal.

I preordered from negrielectronics [dot] com/motorola-atrix-4g-black-unlocked.html - they claim availability end of this month, and deliver internationally. They seem to have good reseller ratings. It is a bit pricey at $686.50, though. The upside is it should be unlocked. The downside was that the "free delivery" does not seem to apply, according to my Google Checkout. Though they do inform you that preorder prices may not be final, and the final total may be lower than what they initially pre-charged, so I guess it's wait and see for me.

One more option would be Expansys - for Singapore: www [dot] expansys [dot] com [dot] sg/motorola-atrix-207852/ (SG $819.99, about US$640), they have other country websites too (just choose country on the top, you have to search for the phone again in this case). It is listed now with a price, but not available for preorder (at least for Singapore). Projected availability is 25 July, quite far away.

I prefer to buy it unlocked in the first place, if I can.

There are a couple of listings on ebay as well, but don't expect anything below US$ 700. And expect a couple of not-so-trustworthy people there as well.

Sorry - new user, not able to post links yet.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
i knew about those two sites (looked them through froogle) but didn't post them because they were so expensive. too bad amazon is so expensive and backordered too. it's basically the only way i can buy (long story, our country caps our online purchases in usd at 400$ per year so i need two credit cards and amazon is the only place that allows me to buy a gift certificate and apply to my account)
[Atrix 4G General] yip1989:
letstalk.com has a 5% off coupon (up to $25 savings): LTCART5 (expires on feb 28)

I ordered mine on letstalk.com with the coupon, here is the invoice details:

Product Description	Price	Discount	Qty	Subtotal

Motorola Atrix 4G (AT&T)	$499.99	1	$499.99

Coupon: 5% off the shopping cart up to $25	(-$25.00)	(-$25.00)

Shipping: Standard	$0.00	$0.00

Tax: CA	$39.19

Total to be charged:	$514.18

I think this is the cheapest online price now ($475.99)...

They charge sales tax for CA and TX customers...not sure about other states...

I asked wirefly if they are going to sell the atrix...but they said no (most likely because they will drop AT&T sales in March...)

hope this helps
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
nice, too bad i have to be an actual att customer to buy through them.

Today I realized that my gps does not work. Vati is identified by the programs, but never finds the satellites.

I also did a hard reset, but to no avail.

I reloaded the official rom but the problem remains. broke the GPS antenna?

sorry for my Italian, I used google translator!
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
I think that's the case. If restoring your ROM to a stock one doesn't work, you should go to your local store and ask for a warranty replacement.

gps problem

hello

I dont know if i have the same problem.

My problem is:

when I open location and download sattelites i find that it is written expire in red

what can i do to solve this problem?

is it the same problem which prevent Garmin to connect to sattelites?
[HD Mini General] oregon69:
when the problem does not download the satellite and GPS does not work, can sometimes be caused by having installed the beta ANDROID SD. If you have installed Cotulla sd card Android look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1024474

my post # 9

(Hello. Android get back to SD. Start Android , go to settings / position / (on) or Disable using GPS satellites. Restart WM6.5 and it works.)

I hope the problem will be resolved;)

.....but the same solution is also the first page of this thread. ....

[Nexus S General] blackg1000:
As the title says, I'm not getting HSDPA in areas where I was getting it before with my Galaxy S. I only ever get 3G and it is driving me nuts!

Is there anyway to change it to allow HSDPA on the phone? It is noticably slower, particularly streaming videos.

I'm on T-Mobile UK with the web & walk+ tariff.
[Nexus S General] Highland3r:
Are you running the stock rom?

If so - afaik you get 3G for both 3G and HSDPA. Check your connection type in "About Phone" in settings - should be under "status".
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Highland3r is correct. HSDPA is a 3G technology, and the stock ROM on the Nexus S does not differentiate it in the connection type display. You are most likely connected to your provider's HSPA network, your phone simply doesn't advertise that fact.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
T mobile UK, uses a different band

it uses the same frequency as the 3G from ATT in USA

Nexus S is an AWS band phone
[Nexus S General] Nexus-S:
I'm having a similar issue with my Nexus S on Orange UK. I have to manually force it to use HSDPA in the engineer's menu but after a certain amount of time it defaults to UMTS.

My brother-in-law's Galaxy S has a constant HSDPA connection.
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
I'm on vodafone in the uk and I get HSPA mostly all of the time, u guys are right, it says 3g in the bar at the top of the screen but looking deeper it is in actual fact HSPA.
[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
it's been like this since Android 2.3. They only display 3G whether your using 3G or HSDPA... they are essentially the same.

Therefore they just show 3G...

I prefer it to show me 3G or H or UMTS ( sometimes on UMTS aswell and still shows as 3G )
[Nexus S General] docsamsom:
I am currently on CM7 and it does display H most of the time as the coverage is pretty good where I am. This has been the case even before I rooted the phone.
[Nexus S General] blackg1000:
Thanks for the info guys, like Highlan3r suggested it has HSDPA in the status menu but 3G in the notification bar! It is the stock ROM also, just found it a bit unusual since changing from the Galaxy S only a week ago but now I know.

Thanks again! :)
[Nexus S General] Nexus-S:
Just to clarify, my Nexus S shows UMTS under status, even when a data connection is active. If I force it onto HSDPA by selecting WCDMA only in the engineer's menu, it again reverts to UMTS after a certain length of time.

My brother-in-law's Galaxy S has constant HSDPA connection on the same network. We are both using stock roms.
[Nexus S General] spamlucal:
you will only see HSDPA when there is network traffic. If the connection's idle, it goes back to display UMTS (to save battery and network resources)
[Nexus S General] Highland3r:
Are you using a custom ROM of any kind? It _could_ be an issue with the APN's setup - CM7 for example doesn't set a default APN on my phone which seems to cause mobile data connectivity problems until a default is set/the extra crap is removed.

<edit>

You're probably best starting a new thread for this btw as it's likely to be a different issue to the ops

</edit>
[Nexus S General] Nexus-S:
And now after the 2.3.3 update it switches to HSDPA perfectly.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bash_array:
I had this same problem... your version of windows (probably xp) is not remembering the adb drivers. Go to here ---- > ftp://ftp.dell.com/Handheld/R288920.exe and download the adb drivers. Then Go into device manager on your computer and reload your adb drivers manually. If you encounter that error during the qdl tool process, windows will show an error in device manager under adb device... just click on this and reload your drivers again by manually searching for the adb drivers on your computer. Most of the time you can let windows search and it will find them too. After that, power down your device, hold down the volume up button and plug in your streak. it should read a com port and then you will be good to go. Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Skdi:
Hey how do I put a .ttf file on my phone and use it as the display font? Type Fresh lets me change the system fonts but the system fonts don't show up in the settings - display - font... :(

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
From my little understanding of fonts. The phone is technically only capable of one font and when you change it with and app or manually it overrides the default font with the new font by changing its name to the default fonts name and replacing it. The font apps make a backup of the original.

I think.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] willverduzco:
This is correct, as Android's general UI predominantly relies on DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf within the /system/fonts folder. If you are rooted, you can copy the fonts in there yourself. I particularly like Segoe UI and Helvetica Neue.

I do the following via ADB:

- adb remount

- adb push fontname.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

- adb push fontname.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

- adb reboot

Alternatively, if you have Root Explorer, you can use that to copy the font to that folder from your /sdcard. Remember to boot after changing the font for it to take effect.

Good luck.

So why does the Epic have 2.2.1 and we only have 2.2??? can someone pull the 2.2.1 kernel and stick it in one of our roms???
[Vibrant General] presence06:

[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
I understand why they pushed it out to us, but still if they have 2.2.1 on the Epic then we should, at the very least, have seen one or two leaked builds with 2.2.1. So far all of our post "shutup" release's have all been 2.2 and those have even stopped coming.

I guess my main reason for posting was not really complaining as much as could we rip the Epic apart and use it in our custom ROM's?

[Vibrant General] swehes:

[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Does the Galaxy S 4G ship with 2.2.1 or still 2.2? If so, then the old Vibrant may have just been passed over (hopefully only temporarily).
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The Epic shipps with Eclair. It just got its FroYo update, and it's 2.2.1 instead of just 2.2.

2.2.1 on Galaxy S phones runs much better than 2.2 (which has worse performance than JI6 on our phones, IMHO).

The reason why we don't have 2.2.1 is because so many people cried about the Vibrant following the Vibrant 4G announcement and T-Mobile/Samsung wanted to save face.

The fact that they pushed 2.2 out and they haven't heard many complains about KA6 from customers (I haven't seen many on FB/Twitter/T-Mo Forums) means that getting 2.2.1 out to Vibrant 3G users is probably one of their lowest priorities.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
Probably true. As if I needed another reason to be thankful for XDA / it's generous members. :cool:
[Vibrant General] mavictb:
I was under the impression that 2.2.1 was only for the 4g variants of the galaxy s.... maybe I was misinformed...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talderon:
Prior to my MT4G, I had the HTC HD2.

I came stock with WM6.5, was able to put Android on it and even tried out WP7. The only real reason they were able to port it over to the HD2 is that the hardware between the HD2 and HD7 is almost identical.

As for porting it over to another platform totally, don't hold your breath. They still have not "jail broken" the whole OS yet so there are a LOT of limitations on what hardware it will work on and even what customizations that can be done at this point.

Summary: Don't hold your breath. IF it happens, will be a LONG time out.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnguyen1988:
It really isn't too bad its alot better than winmo 6.5 that's for sure. I had the hd7 for a like a month and I loved it for that short amount of time but android just had my heart lol so I went back to a mt4g. Wp7 is going to grow as an os lets not forget its still in its infant stage just give it time and it'll be up there. Just think about android 1.5 and all its flaws and look at where we're at now. Also remember windows mobile and windows phone 7 are completely different os's so bringing up any winmo phones is irrelevant. Just my 2¢ but yeah Android is still where its at lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talderon:
Personally, WP7 is a HUGE step back. Out of the box (before the update, which is also bricking some phones) is like iPhone OS v1, but worse.

Look, it took apple 3 years to implement copy/cut/paste and even longer to allow some sort of Multi-Tasking because people were yelling for it. Out of the box, you don't get this with Wp7. Once the update issues are worked out, it will be, almost, on-par with iOS4 in regards to multi-tasking and copy/cut/paste. However, their RIGID stance on access to Zune media is insane. You can't see or use that media with any other app other than the built in Zune app to play them. Then they mess up the SD Card with a very specific partitioning system that you can't access except through the phone (as in, you CANNOT run the phone without the SD Card that was in there on first boot or turn your phone off and put it in a card reader, won't be able to read it). So if you upgrade from one size SD to another, then you have to wipe and reload your phone to get the new SD Card to be seen, and anything you put on the SD Card before this will get wiped out on first boot anyway.

Ok, I can go on and on, but when all I can see is the HUGE list of Fail and the small list of COOL, there is no reason to take this mobile OS as a serious contender to any other currently used Mobile OS.
