Ugh this is such a hard decision but I'm honestly so tired of my atrix. Development...yeah right. Basically dead. Really wants to make me switch phones. I got offered an inspire on Craigslist and I tested one out at the att store. Top 3 for me would be inspire, sgs2, and infuse but I haven't gotten any sgs2 or infuse offers sso I'm thinking about taking up this inspire offer. Any atrix converts over here? Heard the inspire is laggy and bbattery life isn't all that great but everything seemed pretty nice to me at the att store. Can I get any input of previous atrix owners? Is it worth the switch?

i have both. i currently have my inspire up for sale in the marketplace, not because its not an outstanding device, but i have had my run, i still have my atrix as a backup, and i got a new GS2 as my daily.
if i had to chose between the atrix and inspire as daily drivers, i would go inspire
the deciding factor in me keeping my atrix over my inspire is that i also have the laptop dock, and i am looking forward to seeing what can be done on it. maybe i should focus my efforts on creating something for the atrix now.....
I had an atrix. Took it back and got an Inspire. Never looked back haha. If you do decide to get an Inspire, buy pirateghost's

Okay. Getting an inspire locally today...wooooh! could you guys help me with a few preparations as far as security goes though? I'm running cm7 right now and i did a factory reset and moved all files from /mnt/emmc to my computer yet there seem to still be some files left behind...what do i do? is it safe to keep these? or is there a better way to make sure my personal info is nowhere to be found on the phone. Under file manager there are files such as .Spotlight-v100, .Trashes, .Adobe, .android_secure, LOST.DIR. why is this?
settings, storage/sdcard, format
i have a inspire running revolution HD and i have 0 lag on it. I love it.

THANKYOU so much. This worked perfectly. I've been trying to get rid of everything in emmc by factory resetting and that didn't work but this worked like a charm. So now that I've factory reset, and formatted internal SD card should I be safe to sell as far as security goes?

i dont see why not
I like my Inspire but I don't have much to compare it to. The battery life is not teriffic, with wifi, bluetooth and the occasional GPS query I will go about 24 hours. YMMV.
Not sure where the laggy comes in. It works well for me.
This phone isn't laggy at all with a custom rom. Lagginess comes from poor development on HTCs end. It holds its own compared to the tegra2 imo ...

I was presented with the same decision and am glad I went with inspire. I think sense is pretty cool. Also the guy at att told me that the atrix only uses one of its cores for the mobile os, and the other core is for the docking function.
Is this really true? I know att reps are heavily misinformed sometimes.

Ive seen today that the atrix has root, I also seen that the post was made by alot of you cappy owners hero designgears. Just wondering how many are leaving? I will be sticking by htc's side. I hated my captivate for the couple weeks I had it when it was launched, such a cheap device, and was to easy for some processes and involved no work. The Inspire is where its at in my mind for now, dual core or not this ***** flys and does work for me.
Nope HTC > than Motorola as far as dev community is concerned. I'm happy with my purchase and could have pre-ordered the Atrix for the same money I was looking at for this phone.

Root is actually pretty easy on this phone. I must admit that I have rooted alot of phones and this one did give me some grief mostly with the gold card cause it works diff for everyone but with the help of irc channel it was a walk in the park. Plus you get to freshen up on adb skills

It has root, but they still don't know if the boot loader is locked. If it is, there will be no way to install custom roms. as far as I know nobody has cracked their bootloader encryption.
As far as fastboot not working, did you hit the power button to switch to h boot to loss the image? On the SD card I had to use the instructions to get my image then I used the utility to write the image and had no problems. @gunny ya I am curious on that as well. Bootloader controls their destiny.

Yes... it's because we're gadget geeks and have the attention span of a 2 year old! I got the Inspire because I couldn't wait until March 6th (the original Atrix release date) to dump my POS Craptivate.
My biggest complaint with the Inspire: No HDMI out... but I figured I'll be staring at a 4.3" screen much more often than hooking up a 4" screen phone to a TV. Also I hate where they placed the micro-usb port on the Atrix.
it just has stuff i dont need, hence finger print scanner, an outrageous priced dock. If I buy anything moto it will be the xoom

Android Revolution 4G with Buzz 1.6ghz kernel
haha amazing
I used both for a week and ended up keeping the inspire. My issue was mostly blur and the smaller screen size. It was also one of the most plasticky phones I have ever held.
yea I thought atrix was gonna be all that and a bag of potato chips but was a let down whe felt it in hand next to my captivate as it has same size screen everything on screen looked smaller. and way plasticy feel which feels cheap to me, why put that kinda hardware into a phone only to neglect outside not only that they made accessories of better quality then the phone itself.
And very nice on those scores dude. How stable is it running with that setup?

It's actually really stable. Just a huge battery killer, but the Inspire 4G has bad battery life anyways. I think the Android Revolution rom helps out a lot for the battery though, especially when underclocking. For the past couple of hours I've tried out 880mhz and it's ultra smooth and it seems to be getting great battery

i am really happy that i didnt go with the atrix like i initially wanted to. i didnt even bother with looking at it. i didnt want to cheat on HTC. they currently own the market as far as android devices go, and theyre great as far as releasing code goes.
I posted a benchmark of about 2925 on Android Forums in response to someone saying that the Inspire would be irrelevant once the Atrix was updated to take advantage of the dual core processor. The excuses were it was either a fake pic, not an Inspire, or a bad program.

Damn, now I'm regretting not waiting for the Attain.
The Infuse is the first device with a softkeyboard I could consider tolerable... But that's it - tolerable. It still can't come close to my Tilt2.
This makes me giddy like a small child in a candy store. You can keep the keyboard and dual core, I'm fine with my 4.5 inch screen and super thin design. I don't know how many times people have picked up my phone and been wowed by this form factor.
Plus, who needs dual core anyways? There isn't any lag on my infuse to begin with, and now that gb is about to drop, I'm sure whatever the devs come up with will keep me more than satisfied with how well my phone performs.

WOW!......How can Samsung ATT justify this? SGSII is a widely anticipated phone all over the world. It is very popular over seas. So based on that they change it last minute???? Not the specs but to a slider? This makes ZERO sense. Unless Samsung was forced to change it through lawsuits by apple, or ATT being Apple's b**ch. Why would you change a device that everyone was expecting and anticipating. Unless Samsung has another device ready to launch soon, I do not get it. It would be one thing if it was always going to be a slider, but you just added thickness to a device that nowdays the thinner the more popular. When I first got a soft keyboard device I hated it, but now I am much faster than I ever was on a hard keyboard. You are also adding the breakable parts factor. I just don't understand this at all.
Makes perfect sense... The only keyboard smartphone they have is the LG Quantum... Also differentiates it from the Infuse.

Im sorry but I am so down to get this phone. i am actually gonna get this phone.
It all depends on how thick it is. If it is nice and slim, I will give it a shot. I could see using a keyboard some times.
Also I would check T-mobile's version. Aren't T-mobile's newest phones shipping with the ability to work on AT&T's network because of the buyout? I thought I heard that a few times....
I've been wondering if I should switch my g2x out for a mytouch 4g slide. I like the g2x but its been causing problems ... not to mention the horrible battery life

I don't really think there's a reason to have a physical keyboard anymore unless your a female with long nails. A keyboard just adds more bulk to the phone. In the end, your going to have to figure out which phone suites your needs better.

It's not that I don't want the g2x. Its just too many problems you know? And an actual keyboard comes in handy sometimes. I'll do come more research on it, I don't thing the new slide is that thick. I could be wrong.
What I really want is my iPhone 4 back.. I was usingg it for almost a year and then it took a dive in the lake.. now it boots up to the iTunes logo if I have it plugged in but then halfway through a restore, I know its not totally fried cuz then it wouldn't even turn on.

I don't know. Each blog I've read states something different but now that the device is close to being released, none of them are speculating. Everything spec wise is just a rumor at this point. I asked my step father who sometimes knows these things but he didn't know. He said he would ask someone who might though. He did tell me that Samsung would be releasing the phone on every carrier on the same day or atleast that's what they want to do.
In my opinion, I think every GSII variant in the US will have the Exynos CPU. I would think they want each region to have the same CPU.
The battery cover on that Hercules looms like its brushed metal.

To sum it up, LG's software is what made this phone crap. But we have great devs who make it one heck of a beast!

Singh-Miui with faux kernel...buttery smoothness
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I use Hellfire pheonix with Trinity 1500mhz kernal. Its a monster now. Having stock is a bummer for any device. Some hate bulky sense. Some hate the ugly moto blur. Many get bored of touchwiz and that's just ui. Once you free your device it's a matter of hardware and manufacturers willingness to cough up source. LG is stingy with source but that hasn't stopped the devs. We still get good stuff. Thank them! Look at the hardware and decide based on that is my opinion. (If you plan on flashing roms that is)

I would advise you to keep it simply because you will not get much in return for it. In fact, LG has officially discontinued the G2x and Tmo has sent out an internal message that they will no longer sell or support this phone. In addition, current customers will not be given any refunds. Exchanges for the G2x will ONLY be the My Touch 4g -which LG claims is comparable. I do not see the My Touch 4g being worth it. However, as you will likely hear from others in the forum, with the right ROM (and that means different things to different people), the G2x is still a fantastic phone. Most GB based roms are running very smoothly and there are a few ICS roms running pretty well that are still being tweaked. I'm pretty satisfied with mine since I rooted it.....best of luck to you thought!
There are some better phones, but it's a good phone for it's price. You can't ask too much for a $200 phone, but it works like a $300 or even $400 one
Thanks everyone for replying, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't hardware that made the g2x suck. I agree I do like sense and am currently running a sense rom. I am also debating my touch 4G slide. Both are around the same price.

If your gonna choose tmobile the g2x is a hell of a good phone, even better when rooted and custom rom'd from xda!
The one gripe i only ever had was it coulda used at least 1gb of ram which would have future proofed it till at least the g4x/ one s came thru, still thats a minor complaint and i still love owning my g2x as a backup phone. Dont think ill ever sell it just cuz it is too beast of a phone to get rid of and my kids also cant get enough of it lol

It's alright, could be better though. If you're looking for a 100% reliable phone, then this one might not be for you.
I previously had the Nexus S which on paper is inferior to this phone. That being said, this phone in reality is buggy, I have had issues with it on multiple ROMs, the camera pictures are quite poor, and the battery drains quite fast (not overclocked)
The good is the 4G which I enjoy the faster speeds, and even though the camera is disappointing the video makes up for it.
This is my opinion, hope it helps.
I liked the phone so much, I bought a second used for dirt cheap on cowboom.com. This phone is a beast that T-Moble and LG failed to work right. It's dualcore with sufficient memory. It has a Tegra 2 chip making gaming a reality with games like GTAIII and Zen Pinball. It does hdmi out with ease. All this in a sleek body with a decent screen. Any popular GB ROM is a go on this device. The only thing that could make it better is quadcore, 1GB RAM, and Tegra 3. Here's to G4X!

Camera sucks on stock sir, due to bad focus options and such. (Cm7) Hellfire Phoenix... touch focus... not too shabby. Here is a quick snap. Its loads better now.

This phone isn't bad, its pretty fast actually. But if you get this phone, you HAVE to root and install a custom rom, everything stock on the phone is boring.
