I have no idea what that "4G" sim is going to do for you considering it won't be needed until AT&T rolls out LTE. The so-called "4G" that the Atrix uses (HSDPA+) is still a 3G technology and 3G sim cards work on it.
[Atrix 4G General] dratsablive:
I just checked my bill and it says that my current data and messaging plan is set to expire on 04/07/2011. I can get a Smartphone Unlimited data and 1500 messaging for the same price. Haven't made any change yet. Will call AT&T Monday and see what happens.
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
FWIW, my grandfathered unlimited data plan is called "Smartphone unlimited" plan per my features page AT&T's website.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
It's also been covered here that the 3g and 4g cards are in fact the exact same cards. They just changed the 3g fireball to a 4g one to promote their "New" 4g network. There's a link someone on the forums to a official press release from AT&T about this.

Oh and also I have unlimited and I had HSUPA on my captivate, so not getting HSUPA has nothing to do with your plan. And there is a 5 gig SOFT cap on the unlimited plan. what this means is that when you hit 5 gigs they don't charge you per MB or anything, they just basically flag your account and watch it more closely to make sure you're not tethering. The funny thing is that they can't tell your tethering unless they look at what you're doing IE if they see your sending and receiving from a BC2 server obviously you're tethered and playing BC2. But for most normal stuff (Web browsing and downloading stuff) it's things your phone can realistically do so they can't say anything. AT&T called me once because I used like 8 gigs (I wasn't tethering at all) wanting to know what I was doing to use 8 gigs and I told them I watched a ton of youtube and streaming pandora at my office before I had my internet installed and they just said "oh ok" and thanked me for my time and hung up. I usually use around 4 gigs a month on my phone. I think most of that is from streaming pandora on high quality while driving to and from work every day.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I think I'll just disable my WiFi and use the network for all it's worth while I have the unlimited plan. I would love for them to call me
[Atrix 4G General] xdaLurker:
Well I got the same text this morning. When I got the Atrix I bought it out of contract and went to the store when it was activated to make sure to retain my unlimited plan. They made some changes in the system at that time and told me it would carry over.

I looked at my account online and there defiantly some new smartphone unlimited plans that did exist before but I want true unlimited. With my iPhone plan in the past I used 6gb of data and have never been charged or received a call and don't want to.

Time to go back to the store or call I guess...... :mad:
[Atrix 4G General] link12245:
Your all over reacting. You have a plan setup for an iPhone, you need to switch to the PDA unlimited 4g plan. They're not screwing you, they're just trying to get you on the right plan. You can keep your unlimited, get rid of your tin foil hat. If you have anyother questions, pmme. I work for big blue and can sort this out for you.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Can you see if AT&T will allow an add-on for people who have unlimited plans to be able to use a tethering package? Maybe $10 a month for a 1GB for tethering. Considering it uses a separate apn then they should be able to differentiate when that data is being used. Maybe???
[Atrix 4G General] link12245:
That's not a bad idea, but I'm afraid they listen to customers way more than me. Email customer care, if it gets enough support, they may add a new plan.

I come to the Droid X planet from the planet WinMo..... On my previous planet I frollicked in the flash-cooked-rom playground til I was dizzy & had a too-much-cheese-cake belly ache....so I waited 45 minutes & frollicked some more.

I've read all about rooting here, I get it. I thought, before arriving, that I'd be rooting the very night I got the DX, but that night came & went ... and so did about a week now.

I'm loving this phone in stock mode. Its so much better & faster & slicker than my Omnia that I can't honestly find a reason to root.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the primary benefits to rooting are:

More thematic control

The ability to tether

marginally better battery life

the ability to overclock

So I'm all the way through a day at work w/ some calls, 10 to 20 texts, a couple of browser sessions, and 2 hours of mp3 play which lands me home w/ 40-50% battery left.

I just don't need to tether (although it'd be cool....and I'd prolly do it)

The ability to put a picture of my honeymoon in Kauai is all the Thematic control I need.

I'm already surfing while I listen to the PowerAmp MP3 player...how much faster does it need to be that I wanna overclock it? (I mean, I get how cool it is to actually do it & enjoy the observed performance bump, but......then I'm used to it being that fast)

Why do I wanna do this? I'm not trying to debate you, I believe you all like it better...so it IS better..but why might I like it better?

Talk to me like if you get ONE MORE root convert you'll get the toaster.

< used car salesman schtick >So....what's it gonna take for YOU to put ME in a rooted X today? < /used car salesman schtick >

:D
[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
It's all about what you like. If you are satisfied with stock so be it. I too was satisfied with stock, but the more I hung around these forums and read. The more curious I became. Rooting and unrooting is ridiculously easy. One click. I don't use tethering so I won't be able to convince you. However on battery life it is no contest. I used to be at 40 percent at noon with heavy usage. Once I rooted and changed roms (apex 1.4.1) I saw an enormous improvement. Now I am at 50 percent by 6 at night. I make a lot of calls during the day (25+) and I am checking email and what have you. It all comes down to how happy you are with what you have. I could be happy with stock again (I actually don't mind blur). Good luck with your decision, but I must warn you. Staying around these forums will not help you stay with stock for very long.

Edit: I wouldn't make a very good car salesman.
[Droid X General] IWHBYD:
Blur-less ROM. 'nuff said.
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
See, now I'd read more "marginal" battery life improvement....your experience is a significant improvement.

And yes, hanging around here is how I got to be a flash-addicted on my previous planet....all to the good I might add, although MAN I could blow some hours on that.

I'll have to do some more reading on Blur and Blur-less.
[Droid X General] HanoverPhist:
i too came from the omnia. loved that phone. ive had my DX for a few weeks now, and aside from changing how it looks drastically i havent had the need to root or ROM the phone at all so far. although, the wifi tethering is the one reason i will end up rooting later this weekend, i use that a TON throughout my workday. i have been kind of avoiding it, but its something that has been a hassle since i changed phones. im more interested in hearing more about this "oneclick" root someone in here mentioned, ive read the sticky and probably everything else in this forum about rooting the DX and havent come across a one click method so far. so, apparently ive missed the best part?
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
Hanover....I found this:

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/07/27/root-and-unroot-your-droid-x-with-1-click/

...but it looks like a bunch of X-ers standing around the edge of the pool daring each other to jump in & report back. I like the "Noobs Guide" here better.

Another Rooting benefit I forgot to mention was how COOL backing up the state of the phone would be. I'm guessing that's App and Settings.....from WinMo flashes I loved the Dir you could put on the SD full of the apps & settings so that if the ROM you were flashing included this particular feature, those things would be loaded & setup from the get-go....forget what it was called; flippin fabulous. This backup capability that apparently comes along w/ Rooting (which isn't available from stock? ) sounds even better.

Anybody wanna tell me what they hate about Blur?
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
This discussion has a few links to Blur definition and commentary.....I guess I "like" the Blur stuff, although apparently it's been diluted to a palatable level in the X's 2.2.1 Android release.

I think its creepy keepin my schtuff in teh "cloud"....until I want it reloaded to my phone & poof! Its done...then its more cool than creepy :rolleyes:

So far I've gotten

WAY better battery management (not just a little better)

Gotta Tether

And to that list I'd add the backup ability about which I'll have to read more.

So come on Rooters.....I'm still wanting to hear the GREATEST thing for you in your new ROM that Stock never provided.....
[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
I had the tilt before coming to the X and I loved that phone. The "one click" method I was talking about is called z4root. You don't technically click it. It is an .apk that you run. Then click either temporary or permanent root. If you click permanent root, the next time you run it unroot will appear. If you get DroidX bootstrap you can make a nandroid backup of your current phone. Everything will be saved except the data from your apps. You would have.to use titanium backup for that. Then you could experiment with roms and if you don't like them go back to your backup. Which would put you back at stock. You can also make more than one backup. Keep reading and before you know it you will break down.

Just to let you know a little more between the blur and blur"less" roms. Since blur is part of motorola when a dev takes the blur out of the rom some of the functionality of the phone is lost. I.e. no hdmi, camera is less than stellar and etc...now you can just get the blur .apk for the camera. But you still lose hdmi out.
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
Thanks....I really like the camera....seems better than my Omnia's ....maybe I'm just on a honeymoon w/ the X :rolleyes:

I'll have a few more laps in the pool here & then I'll giver a go. I mean, if I can fairly easily bop back to stock, then what's the cost? (well...besides the unlikely bricking).

So I guess I'll need to figure out which things are "Blur" and which things are "Android"....for instance:

can anybody tell me if thiese things remain in blurless ROMS?

The little red target that moves the cursor in text boxes? (love that)

the voice mic to talk in text in most text boxes?

syncing to/from my Gmail for contacts & calendar?

can I have "some" of the Motorola widgets of my choice? (or are they just bone cuz they "are" blur?)

Again, I can figure these things out first hand or read up, just checkin if one of you wanna chime in some more.

Great info. THanks for playin.
[Droid X General] turbo614:
my reasons are quite simple for rooting my dx.addless apps/over clocking/"disabling"some factory installed apps/wifi tethering(not being stuck paying verison 20 bucks a month to do it).
[Droid X General] bkendrick:
Another reason to root and ROM is "New Phone Syndrome". I was excited like a kid in a candy store when I got my X. You couldn't pull my fingers from it. After 3 months I started to get bored. Don't get me wrong I still loved it but I needed new meat and waiting another 21 months for an upgrade didn't cut it. So if all those reasons to root and load a ROM like tethering, battery life, overclock, etc isn't good enough for you, then consider this...its like having a new phone when you load a ROM. Just my 2 cents.

DX CFU LIB 1.5
[Droid X General] Ben's:
It almost sounds like you want to be convinced on something you kind of want to do because your bored, :)

About ROMs. Think of it like this...take two LCD TVs, one is 1080p one is 720P...if they are in separate rooms, you will never be able to tell the difference. Side by side, yes, you can see the difference, marginally. To me, all flashing a ROM does is change the transitional speed between screens, apps, etc., and remove the bloat ahead of time so you don't have to manually do it. That's my opinion. (disclaimer for the trolls :D) And to be honest, that is where mainly all the praise comes from having a so called " fast ROM ", over stock. Motorola's stock transition times are slow (blur) and developers customize these settings to probably be 0. Other then that, I have had two brand new Droid X's side by side and there is no difference. Heck I have had four of them side by side and can't tell a difference in anything really besides transitioning in tasking.

How much time are people really spending transitioning between the app drawer and the home screen is beyond me lol :p but running any rom while in an app is never going to make a difference on a phone call, text, taking a picture etc.

If I could change these transition times myself (much like on a PC), I would love to run the stock ROM as it's 100% stable and smooth and I don't have to sacrifice a thing. If you want a different look once in a while like a black top bar or new icons, flash a theme for stock rom or an icon pack or, make your own like I do.

As far as rooting, yes, rooting for me is a must.

I root so I can have an exact backup to the state my phone was in before I start to dink around with it. I like to change my battery icons, make all my own icons and such so it helps when I flash or edit the wrong file. I like to be able to backup all my apps with a one click install after I go back to stock if need be. I like to be able to tether and to know I have that ability because times have arose when I needed to. And last but not least, have the ability to download and install non-market apps and content. There are websites out there that have plenty of apps and content not available the market that I use. Probably my biggest reason I root. Some apps require root so that will be your preference if you use those specific apps.

If you enjoy overclocking, that's another reason to root. The DX is not a PC though, I don't need to overclock to make a call and I am not playing Crysis on max resolution lol. If you are OCD about watching your benchmark scores go up and down, then overclock away!

Other then that, I have always praised that a stock, rooted Droid X with all it's bloatware removed is perfect in every way. The hardware on this awesome device is really all that you may want in a smart phone. It handles everything I throw at it and it's reliable for me. Overclocked or not, I can't tell the difference between 1Ghz and 1.3Ghz and that's on my phone alone.

Everything always comes down to preference. If you don't have a specific reason to root then don't. Unless you’re bored that is, lol.
[Droid X General] rocko73:
Me too. Tried all the roms, all had some shortcommings. I am now back to stock, rooted, bloat removed, themed and loving it. Best batt life I have had.
[Droid X General] jazaddict:
Stock , rooted, bloat removed, theme-able, sounds like a dream come true.

I appreciate the insight.
[Droid X General] robbyrobaz:

[Atrix 4G General] Mitty1990:
Ok so I was getting fed up with most of my favourite games not working these being the likes of Can Knockdown 1&2, Hungry MonstR < AMAZING!!!, Guerrilla Bob < AMAZING TOO :D and Qbism HD, etc...

The problem was that they where just going to the loading screen and playing music and either taking eternities to load or just crashing after a long wait.

What to do?

So if any games do this just press the power button to sleep screen and then press it again to wake, now the game works :D

I know this is something simple that most advanced users or even noob users know to do but for others that don't know this it's for you!

[G2 and Desire Z General] rockhumper:
Hey All,

My first post ever on this super website that helped me root my phone, load Cyanogen Mod, and overclock my processor....

I have noticed (even before rooting) that when playing my favorite online game (armored strike) that if I get a text message, gtalk message, or sometimes even an email and I switch over to read it, then try to get back to my game, it ends up freezing the game causing me to force close...or the game will ask me whether i want to wait or force close and after several "wait" attempts I end up needing to force close.

It happens more than half the time I switch between the app and the messages. Any ideas on what causes this? If it is a known or fixable problem?
[G2 and Desire Z General] rockhumper:
nothing?...no comments at all from all you super programmers out there? is my question too retarded and i do not realize it? :-( i am a most definitely a noob in the phone department but want to learn and have been getting into this stuff even though my friends call me a nerd and my wife hates this phone now....any help is seriously appreciated. thanks all.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaijinboricua:
Hello everyone,

I am upgrading to a Motorola Atrix 4G, but before I do the jump I wanted to see what is the real life issues with the phone.

1. How long is battery lasting? typical usage?

2. How is the GPS performing? how long it takes to lock? any issues with any apps?(google nav location jumping around, doesnt work well overseas, etc.)

3. How is the SIM unlocking situation?

4. Does it need to be rooted to remove AT&T bloatware? how good is the stock image running?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrohn:
1) Better than my Nexus One by far. I have no problem going almost two days between charges.

2) GPS performs great for me. Locks are quick and accurate. This is in the USA though.

3) No idea - didn't need it.

4) You can remove everything though manage apps without needing root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
1. battery is fantastic!

2. GPS is great, locks in seconds. Google Nav works brilliantly for me. I have used it many times with no issues.

3. no unlock needed here

4. AT&T "bloatware" can be removed via Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications *no root needed!*

oh, and only issue I have is the lack of HSUPA, but it isn't enough to make me get rid of this phone. It is fantastic!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
1. Battery is great for me. Last cycle was 30 hours with 5 hours screen time.

2. In the US and GPS is flawless. I'm actually impressed on how well it gets position when just using cellular/WiFi.

3. No first-hand experience, but it has been stated that unlocking is possible but causes issues with wifi and there isn't any substantial confirmations on root method and/or mods.

4. Just like everyone else has said. Just go into "Manage Applications" and select the Bloatware and they are all capable of being Uninstalled. *Note: it doesn't actually uninstall them, just removes the "shortcut" basically as they are still in the system preinstall file
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaijinboricua:
great!

Thanks for the input, keep it coming! The more the merrier.

I am curious as to why sim unlocking is causing Wifi issues, I guess it would be if you sim unlock it using software, but not by code. Any extra input on this area is appreciated.

My phone was running low on juice and no charger in sight, so i did quick swap with galaxy tab, which had full battery.

I come back home, swap SIM back to the SGS, plug in charger, boot - everything forecloses. Cant even get to LauncherPRO (android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly, etc...). Contacts dont show up either.

Wiped cache via recovery - didnt help.

Any ideas ? Dont really want to "factory default" my phone, loads of stuff on there...

Hey , I bought HTC Wildfire and it's my first Android phone.

My classmate told me that I have to overlock it , to get better fps aka no lag , example for games.

I didn't understand what is that so I asked what is it , he told me that I have to read it from forums and I must download something from internet.

Well anyway I didn't found any good guide for overlock HTC Wildfire.

Can someone who's trustful and won't fu*k my phone up , will help me , how to overlock HTC Wildfire. Please someone help.

PS. I need good help because I don't know where are some files and stuff. :d

Tnx ,

by Cisco.
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
You would have to flash a custom kernel that supports running at higher frequencies, or a ROM with an overclockable kernel built in. I'm not sure what the dev support is like for the Wildfire or if a custom kernel is available, but i will say that it's a waste of time and you'd probably see no advantage in it anyway.
