I don't believe it has been rooted yet. How do you like the XT? Did you own the original cliq?
I like the orig Cliq. The Blur can be laggy at times...other Reps on my team are having major FC's with their Cliqs and reluctant on selling the XT, lol! (just got off a conf. call)
None of them are aware or no how to 'root', so i have an advantage. I should have the HD2 next month.............
You sound like your in the know. Any word on when we will finally get 3G in Springfield MO?

Since you are part of t-mobile USA
will we get a decent android phone like maybe the HTC DESIRE?
I'm tired of moto selling their motoblur devices running android 1.5, have low specs, and just downright old and outdated.
I'm guessing my october if they aren't any good android devices on t-mobile I have to go Win-Mo with the HD2

Good Question!!
On my last conf. call my manager stated that "Android is OLD", lol! Because of the lack of updates from 1.5/1.6 - 2.1.
As of right now, our focus is the Wins Mobile HTC HD2. When i say "our focus", i mean MY SALES TEAM in the Southeast, I am not speaking on the behalf of Tmobile in general. just only my opinion based on my sales team **disclaimer** lol!
NOw, the HTC Desire(only in the UK) can be purchased unlocked (699.99). As a 'rooter' I would rather buy the Nexus One and root the Desire ROM. As a customer, I would still purchase the Nexus One b/c of the price difference.

Every springfield other than Springfield MO is mentioned. Be a secret Ninja and get us some 3g news! Please?
I had the regular cliq before I got the xt, and I'll have to say they xt is WAY better. I never really complained about it running 1.5 because that's what it had when I bought it and I liked it when I bought it. Now I'm getting a little testy about not getting an android upgrade just for the simple fact that there are A LOT of new apps the require 1.6 or higher. It won't be much longer before 1.5 is dead altogether. It's like buying a brand new PC and it comes running windows 98 or something. Alot of stuff just won't work on 1.5 anymore so it's definitely time for an upgrade. I know we're on the list for an update and all that but they said that in March and it never came. I hope this Q2 thing is for real, and the XT is still running Blur version 1.3.11. Will that be updated before the android update? Does it need to be? I'm just wondering why the xt is yet to even get a Blur update. Just a few thoughts. I still really like the phone and after an update I'm sure I'll love it!!
Any way you can post the click xt's music player apk please?

I'm with you on that one. I'll have an HD2 soon as they're back in stock. I've been trying to get one for a month now. I got to play with a demo at the store and it was awesome..
Hello I just switched from windows mobile phone to Droid and I have flashed lots of roms for my windows mobile. But now I wanna put a different rom on my milestone xt720. I rooted it with universal anroot and also I saw that milestone xt720 isn't getting the 2.2 update is it a way I can hack it on my phone tux
our best hope is wait for a port of the Korean XT720 which will get 2.2
xt720
This is so dumb I paid about 500 for this and don't get me wrong its a very good phone how it is except for it has not enough memory to get all the Apps u want but I've seen a few Droid phones that's getting the update that can't even compare with this phones capabilities. I mean if this phone cost us this much money it should be up to par with every update its capable of getting

ya, Moto is dumb. XT720 is released to every region of the world and out of it, only Korea is getting 2.2 update. Even, US or Europe version will not get 2.2 update.
But you can root your phone with "Universal Androot" and try some mods like XT720 Optimizer or "App2Card" application to move your applications to SD card. XT720 Optimizer also include JIT from Froyo. Replace your "Home" app launcher with "Launcher Pro" or "ADW Launcher" that'd do the trick to maximize it's potential. The phone is underclocked at 720MHz (550MHz in initial stock ROM). So give it a boost with Milestone Overclock.
Read other topics and your phone will rock.
Hey guys I have xperia x10 and interested in this phone. How is this phone? Or should I wait a few weeks to get Motorola atrix or nexus s.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I'd wait for the next round of phones that are coming out. I'd actually pass on the Atrix, simply because Motorola insists on giving it to us with an encrypted bootloader.
I would definitely not get a Captivate. given that new phones are coming out.
I would even tell myself back in September not to get a Captivate and wait for the phones that are coming out now, it's that bad.
Samsung basically stuck us with 2.1 (unless you do a custom ROM) and more or less once they sell you a phone kiss you goodbye for support for it etc.
Oh yeah, and if a phone has been known to have GPS issues, and you read an official Samsung tweet that their new update fixed GPS, don't believe it.
Stay away from anything Samsung.
Ya, I love this phone, its bad ass. But if you're looking to trade up, give it a little time and wait, this one age hardware wise pretty soon with the new ones coming out.
X10 is not a bad phone to hold on to until something you really like is released. Fyi - I love my captivate. Just disappointed in samsung. With custom roms this phone is great, imo.

Given the state of [smart]mobile devices today, what can you really say "I'm gonna wait for ____ phone to come out and be content"?
Sure, if you're in the market for a new device you can ALWAYS say "wait for the next round", but the truth of the matter is that there aren't a lot of devices that will be relevant for 10 months. This was one of the things I sat on for months prior to actually buying the Captivate.......mobile providers don't expect you to keep your device for the full 2 years.
I would definitely NOT get a Captivate unless you plan on rooting. That being said, if you don't want to root your phone, if you just plan on living an a stock environment, why don't you just get an iPhone? I mean, what is the point of having an open-source device if you never take advantage of it?
When I was running the stock Captivate it was horrible and I would've killed someone by now if I was waiting on the carrier or manufacturer to feed me (updates). Unfortunately, that is the world we live in. I must say that (I rooted the device within a week of my purchase), I wouldn't trade my Cap in for anything else right now, not even the Atrix. It is more than capable and this is my first Android device, so its not like I'm an experienced ROM loader. I don't have any issues with GPS, calls are fine, I can clock at over 1500 running Firebird2 and Cognition 2.3 (running FroYo). The only "issue" I have is some legacy mp3's won't play (that apparently no one else has this issue) and I'm rather disappointed in the quality of the speaker (after running a few sound amplifier apps).
Skip the Captivate. If you like the sony ericsson phones, wait for the x12's. They're supposed to be out in late March/early April and they look pretty nice.
Thanks guys . You guys are the best.

When getting an Atrix, it's cheaper to get the phone + computer combo. But why get it if you already have a laptop or tablet? great specs but I would wait a little longer for the next wave of phones.

From what I have seen in researching the Atrix is that if you want the "laptop" dock you MUST pay for the Data Pro with Tether add-on. Otherwise you can pay the $499 just for the dock later on and will not be required to add tethering.
My problem with this setup and fee structure is that the dock is not a separate PC that uses the Atrix as an AP or external modem. You cannot use it without the Atrix docked because what you see on the screen is being generated by the phone. So what are you really tethering? Not the laptop since you are still browsing with the phone, just with an external monitor and keyboard... WTF? Do they think we are that stupid?

I'd pass on the captivate.....the atrix comes out tomorrow and the inspire is available now.....I'd get one of those before I'd get the captivate....the inspire is insanely fast and smooth and offers the Sense experience, which is great.....and the atrix is insanely powerful.
I have a love/hate relationship with my phone.
Stock ROM is "ancient" now - and AT&T has delayed any software updates for over 6 mos. now.
Plagued with hardware issues - random shutdowns, sleeping death, charge death, corrupt internal SD Cards, and of course a non-working GPS/Compass.
To make this phone work as intended you will "HAVE" to run a custom ROM to get all of the features - that should have worked out of the box mind you - to work properly.
And.. just a personal peeve - the plastic is slick - so I would suggest getting a case. Otherwise it's like holding a greased pig.
But on the positive - the screen is gorgeous, battery life is decent, and once you get it up and running its a great device.
So... uh no I wouldn't suggest getting a Captivate.
The stock Cap is not good at all. But those haven't rooted and flashed custom Roms are missing the boat. The custom ROMS are easy to flash and open up a whole new side to the Captivate!
Mine with the kick butt Paragon rom will run rings around an iphone any day. I've had them side by side.

The new Sonys will be even slower than the old Samsungs, and with less nice screens to boot.
Better camera, but who cares?
Get the Atrix (out tomorrow) or wait for the SGS2 -- Super AMOLED+ dual-core with (likely) unencrypted bootloader. Hopefully the US will get Tegra2 versions for better custom kernel development.

Yeah I think it's all backwards. The laptop dock can't be used without the Atrix which already makes it useless most of the time. That's why I was saying you might as well get a tablet. Why use a "laptop" running off a device that is suppose to be portable. That is what a real laptop is for.
Haha yeah just get a tablet / netbook / laptop instead of that atrix laptop dock.
Anyway, I think you should just wait 'till better phones are released. But if you can't, then yeah get the captivate but be prepared to void your warranty.
Honestly, like every one has said, it depends of if you plan to run stock or not. This is my first time to root a phone and I will never go back to stock again. My cappy is super fast and does everything I could ever want. My old 3g is comparable to a pager now.
But if you want to run stock, the captivate is DEFINATELY not for you. It took me about three days to decide that 2.1 just wouldn't cut it and start doing the research about rooting and flashing.
It is a very capable phone if you're willing to put some time into it.
Hey I am going to and event tommorow and I am actually going to use my video camera I dont use it often but I Got the Update from LG when it first cam out and I hear that the vanilla android camerea app shoots in 720p not 1080p I also heard to OTA update contains a camera app that shopots in 1080p. So since I cant get the OTA update yet can I somehow uninstall GB just for tommorow. I notuiced on the LG mobile updater there is an option for phone recovery. I put my S/W off the box in and the tmobile g2x p999 and it brought me to the same thing as the update should I try that?

Yes just tempilariry. So I can get the 1080p video then I can just wait for the OTA update that should be the final version.
Im in the same situation haha. Im looking around different threads and I think we can flash back to the froyo rom by using nvidia's flashing tool with the froyo rom, not too sure if the phone has to be rooted though.
let me know if you find something!

If you have the LG mobile updater for your computer I noticed that there is an option to recover your phone. If you still have the box you need the S/W version or number you can try that I haven’t yet but I might. Just so you know I don’t know what will happen so if you try do it at your own risk and if you do let me know. Do you need to be rooted to use nvidia's flashing tool ? Because I am not rooted

not sure if anyone else noticed that motorola has a tentative upgrade to ICS list and the atrix 2 is NOT on that list. razr, bionic and xoom devices.
https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades
IF motorola decides to upgrade the A2 to ICS, by the time they blur it up, and att approves it, there will be much better out and you'll be at your next upgrade point.
No, most of us will have just sold the phone for something else or bit the bullet and kept it while getting something else. Not exactly an upgrade in the most carrier specific sense of the term.
And yes that thought occurred to me. I'm surprised they haven't updated the list to include the Atrix 2, since it's so similar to some other phones they're upgrading to ICS.

Motorola said it would be up to 6 weeks after ICS source code was released before they would give an update to what devices would get ICS. Right now to make the assumption we won't get it is just pure speculation since it has not been stated anywhere that we won't.

for the phones they have planned now, which is the razr and bionic. it will be a 6-8 months minimum if they choose to upgrade the atrix 2.
by then, jellybean will be releasing...
i've seen this with the x10, which att finally approved the x10a to 2.1 in june... and it never received the 2.3 update that the x10i received over seas. same phone, same hardware, just no att iron fist.
Im gonna disagree with ya. Coming from the OG ATRIX back when it was running froyo, it got gingerbread when 90%+ was still running froyo. AT&T has been better at pushing updates to their phones then any of the big 3 in my opinion. How many phones has been listed as getting ICS for sure from AT&T? Vivid and Skyrocket? ATRIX 2 was released just before them.
I know you've had problems with your phone. But take away the problems you were having would you still be getting a new phone? I have had zero problems with my phone and would bet that everyone else that has had the same luck would be very content with their phones also.

I think it is coming. But as it turns out I sold my Atrix 2 today and decided to move back to CDMA service. I have just not been all that happy with AT&T in my area. SOOoooo, don't laugh. I bought a Samsung Vitality with Muve Music on cricket. It will tie me over and I am excited about the included music service. I am alot better with CDMA over GSM, so it looks like I will be grabbing a razr and getting it over to cricket. so long atrix 2 guys

That's not true, the X10 did get 2.3, officially, through AT&T.
That page hasn't been updated since before ICS code was released. Notice NONE of the new phones are on it nor is our MB865
This page details plans for Android software upgrades only; other various routine updates will be delivered to optimize device experiences and these will be communicated separately when deployed.

This quote was there before the source code to ICS. Notice below where each phone is listed by country. None of those phones are listed nor is ours. What I'm saying is that this page hasnt been updated for some time
Also take note in that statement "as well as any possible additions to this list of devices." See they even State Possible Additions which could equal any number of devices.
honestly, that's my biggest issue. no one knows for sure and motorola will not say otherwise.
i have 7 days left on my 30 day return, i will not get stuck with another upgrade locked device. motorola will not say, i have no more free time with this phone.

One thing you will notice about the devices that were listed, they are only the Verizon devices. I still believe that we will get ICS on our phones but ATT is usually tight lipped on their updates, they happen, you just don't hear about it. I believe that part of that statement is Verizon marketing.
I think it will have an up date. Moto has no AT&T phones for the ICS update. What better phone to upgrade than this. Samsung has gs2 but honestly I think this will see the update. We have a webtop,dual core. I just don't see AT&T and moto "not" updating this. They are tight lipped as stated before.

Personally I feel if moto doesn't want to support the device anymore they should be obligated to unlock the bootloader so we can support it ourselves.
That said. I 100% believe Moto will update
