Switch to Atrix???

Ok. I have had the inspire since it came out and I think its a huge upgrade from the captivate. My question is, for another $50 should I go to the Atrix?

For another 50? It will cost me 100 more plus the 35.00 restoring fee. And I'm buying one today to compare to my inspire. I love the inspire but the atrix also looks nice so going to see which one I keep. The inspire screen looks much bigger than the 4.0 on the atrix, I have to see if it will make a difference web browsing n watching movies.

I'm keeping both for a while. Absolutely love the inspire, but those specs on the atrix are just too irresistible.

Yeah with an available upgrade you can get an atrix for $149 from radioshack. I went from a cappy to a surround to a focus (wp7 needs alot of work) to an inspire. I love it but the screen has some touch issues and it has locked up on me a few times. So I am a little concerned about that. Plus dual core is hard for a nerd like me to ignore.

I know dual core, but will the Atrix be LTE compatible?

I loved the atrix at first. Then I tried my inspire. For me at least Android without htc sense just feels like something is missing. I came from a nexus one to nexus s to iPhone 4 and now to my inspire. The atrix seems like As close as you'll get to a pure Google experience on at&t at least. I'm tempted to check one out only because of the awesome screen and hdmi out. But thats bot enough to make me switch from my sense to motoblur. That's the deal breaker for me... if only the inspire had a fingerprint reader

That is a very good point about LTE. It may be a monster of a phone but there is definitely no LTE support that I have read about. From my understanding AT&T will be putting out LTE phones this year but not for a while.
Also good to know about motoblur. I am a huge, HUGE, fan of Sense. I came from samsung's horrible touchwiz so sense has completely restored my faith in android. I have read several reviews that were not to keen on motoblur and I don't want to get caught up in constant rom flashing like I was with the captivate. Seems like everyday i was flashing a new rom and that just got old.
Either way, I will never go back to the iPhone. Not unless they make major improvements to their OS. But thats for another thread.

unless I am mistaking the Inspire doesn't have LTE support either, right?

Inspire might not be LTE compatible either, but It's half the price and had a bigger screen.

Yeah, I loathe motoblur. I just got the atrix and I hate it as much as everyone else that I've read. The first thing I'm doing is loading on ADW Ex....
And sense is amazing. It should be the standard on android.

Just came from an AT&T store to handle the Atrix and the 1st impression was WOW, small screen, maybe because there's hardly any bezel it makes the screen seem dwarfish. When I placed it alongside the Inspire it was noticeably smaller. I honestly don't know if I can downgrade in screen size.

I noticed this too.....what a difference from the inspire.....hard to believe the difference is only .3 inches

I just checked the Atrix at my friendly ATT shop, and I'm not sold to exchange my inspire for the Atrix. Colors seem better on the inspire, but the whites look whiter on the Atrix. Quadrant and nenamark1 were amazingly faster on the Atrix. I also checked the laptop dock and I was not impress by it. I check YouTube @ 1080p and it couldn't handle it. Even 720p was jittery. What do you guys think?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

I too was less then impressed with Atrix so I'll stick with Inspire at least for now. Hopefully Infuse will drop soon.

nevermind ....

CM7 will never make it to the atrix and development will be restricted to the same kernel released by moto. So hell no.

I went to the ATT store with the intent of trading my inspire for an Atrix. I played with it for a few minutes and decided it wouldn't be an upgrade for me. I mainly use my phone for texting, email and twitter. Dual core can't improve that experience very much. Maybe I'd see it a different way if I played lots of games on my phone but I don't.
They even let me play with the laptop dock, which further cemented my decision. It really can't compete with even the cheapest of netbooks out today. Too slow, especially on pages with flash.
I also just like the massive solid metal feel over the plastic of the Atrix.

If you guys are looking for speed, our CPU overclocked to 1.6 feels much faster than the atrix. I'm well satisfied with my purchase.

Is there a Atrix 2 Root protocol for version 2.3.5

I just got the Atrix 2 and was wondering if there is a root protocol for the 2.3.5 that does not require flashing the 2.3.4 SBF?
thanks in advance!

One all the rooting methods you see here are at the moment strictly for the original so far as I am aware, and also no one has done Anything with the A2 that I have noticed so until than hold out.

Surprisingly slow rate of adaption. This is my first Motorola device. Very nice feel and solid quality. Don't know about older blur phones but this skin isn't bad.

Return you Atrix 2 and either get the SGS II or the Atrix 1. ooooor just wait for better phones. The Atrix 2 was a joke.

Would if I could but don't have the money up front for the Cost of the Latest Greatest Most Expensive Phone considering I caught the Atrix 2 for 49.99 which is my budget when I got it. So unless you can tell me somewhere that the SGSII is selling for 49.99 than I am stuck with it.

I bricked my SGS and had to buy the atrix 2 last week, I want root so I can TI restore some of my stuff, but other then that, I just want reliable and stable
plus with ICS on the way the Atrix2 should be even better soon

Here is hoping we get root soon

I just picked one up today, I'm very surprised there isn't a forum for this phone. I've owned an sgs2, have an og atrix running cm7 and its nice but the atrix 2 screen is much better. The sgs2 was ok but touchwiz is very boring, I know its easy to change but the phone itself while fast was boring. I guess I owned a captivate for too long.
I wish att had a better selection of htc devices.
Has anyone tried super one click root for the a2? I may give it a try and see what happens. If I try I'll report back with my results. And for the guy that says the a2 is a joke,
have you tried one yet or are you basing your judgment from stats that you have read? I'm using one right now and honestly I am enjoying it more than the sgs2 to be honest with you. I almost grabbed the att branded sgs2 but figured it would be the same as the international version was.

The SGSII is actually the same screen size as the A2 on at&t. I believe the one that will have the 4.5" is the T-Mobile version. But still yes I agree 480 x 800 sucks and I like the A2 screen much better from what I saw in the Store.

What makes the A2 so bad? I don't get it I just picked one up last night and I think it's a pretty nice phone actually, completely blown away that I got it for just $50. No the screen is no Super AMOLED, it's no Retina display, but it's plenty bright and colorful and the increased pixel density makes it pretty decent. Otherwise, it's a dual core phone with a cpu that's perfectly capable, utilizing a gpu that other so-called "high end" phones also use, has 1gb of ram, 4gb of internal storage, 2gb MicroSD card (will accept up to 32gb) and is running the latest version of GB, v2.3.5.
I've been playing with my phone non-stop since I got it last night and it's been lovely. Nice and smooth, my download speeds have increased dramatically over my SE Xperia X10, it installs apps significantly faster, I think it's horribly underpriced at $49.99 and I doubt there's any devices out there at this price point that can compete. The OG Atrix has that horrible Pentile Matrix display and MotoBlur, no thanks. And the SGSII, at 4 times the price of the Atrix 2, it better be a superior device! So what phones out there at $50 are head and shoulders better than the Atrix 2?

I had to cough up 30 bucks for a 16 gb micro sd and another 50 for a good case. So what? 49.99 really is a steal when u compare it to the torch 9810, the infuse 4g, and the Xperia play. I almost pulled the trigger on the infuse but it will be ages before it gtd an update.
100% happy I bought this and the screen is very sharp

I returned the SGSII in favor of the new Atrix because the internal radios are Way better! Not quite as smooth and a little slower on the Web side, but worth it for me. Besides, the screen on the Atrix 2 is way better in the sunlight = seriously the best on the market in the sun! I've looked at them •All• since I just switched over from the iPhone 4S. (yep)
For me the screen and better radios were major selling points.
Your reasons may be different

Same here! I love the large screen and high resolution. I would love it even more if I could get root.

I played around with the A2 and the SGII for over an hr yesterday at the store and the display is better on the A2 by far. ATT price matched best buy and i walked out with the A2 for 49.99 and after playing with it all night i couldnt be more happier. This phone has a 4.3" screen but as far as the actual phone size is the smallest ATT has to offer with the same screen size and feels great in the hand. All the haters need to use this phone some before they go on with there rants about not living up to the OG because I remember not long ago when the OG was SLOW and buggy running froyo, not until it recieved gingerbread did the OG true potential start showing!! I have the OG and as soon as the A2 gets some development love and hopefully CM9 with some ICS, I will prolly retire the OG! This phone for the price is better then anything I have played with so far and until the new Nexus comes out would be hard for me to give up.

Think its time, almost decided to sell the charge

I've tried, Debated, installed, formated, reinstalled, reflashed....every different ROM / kernal / radio that I can find on the internet for this phone.
Its a great phone for a user that will NEVER want anything more than a Phone....but......
.....I turned on my INCREDIBLE today and updated it to the latest MIUI and just generally brought it back to current ROM technology and was just amazed...
...so like I said...I gave the Charge a shot, nobody got behind it like I hoped and i'll sell it...use the incredible til I decide on weather or not to get the nexus prime, or I dare say it an iPhone (highly unlikely) but i'm tired of all the fragmentation in the droid world...was WAY WAY WAY better when there were just 5 or 6 "KINGS" out there....
I really don't know what the carriers or device makers are thinking...did apple's success on ONE device not teach the industry anything? Its a better model long term...PICK ONE maybe a few...but jesus...30 phones a year is ridiculous...does nothing besided upset your customers that you captured from a very real competitor....that is dagerous.
I'm still android...I just hope the nexus prime gets a HUGE following....just want a following that my Incredible still seems to have...but it is falling.
Anyway...i'm rambling and frustrated that my year and a half old phone can outperform my 4 month old phone in EVERY category but one 4G, which I can live without.
Haven't made the decision complete yet....but I just don't know what else to do...anybody feel the same?

Definitely feel the same man. Especially with soooooo many phones being released. Quality, not quantity.

Crazy you did this. I just traded my Charge for the Incredible 2 today to keep as my backup to the galaxy nexus. Charge got pretty pathetic.

Only outperforms because of 4g? Forgotten about our better screen, hdmi out, better camera and better audio chip, have we?
I definitely understand where you're coming from though. I used to have a fascinate which ended up getting all that good aosp stuff and for that reason (along with the form factor) part of me does regret switching the two.
I plan on doing something similar by selling the charge and using an old smartphone (Htc vogue with cm7 b*tch!) before getting the GN.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

Yup same deal. This phone has a nice screen.. thatsit. M wife has my old incredible and I keep it up to date for her. Its so much better. It is the amoled one and it rocks. Ya charge has hdmi out.. when was the last time any of you actually used it for a purpose other than showing it off? Lol.
But why the nexus? Its another samsung ..been dissapointed with all samsungs so far. Who cares about ics . We are flashers we don't care about stock software. Besides.. I like gps's that work.. u know what im talking about.
The htc rezound is what im going for... gonna go back go my htc roots. Like you said.. the incredible has a huge following. Htc sense is bad ass and 3.5 is going to be sense sweetness. Before december there will be an ics rom for it..
Im done with samdung.....

I stick with this ****burglar of a phone because Ev-DO is garbage in my area whereas LTE is actually pretty easy to get ahold of. Also, I love having a Wolfson DAC and Voodoo Sound.
I got my buddy onto a DroidInc with CM and he really loves it, but it wouldn't have been the right decision for me. I'm paying Verizon prices for LTE, and it's pretty clear that being forced to tolerate a heaping helping of Samsung's incompetence is collateral damage from that choice.
In a year or whatever when this phone has finally evolved into a seasoned specimen that runs CM properly and is way out of the limelight, it will be seen positively -- people will be quick to recommend it as a solid phone with LTE, a good DAC, and a non-PenTile AMOLED screen that you can pick up on craigslist for about a hundred bucks.
"Just make sure you load CyanogenMod as soon as you get it home," they'll say. "The stock software is really a mess."
It's just too bad that most of us here voluntarily subsidized this flaming leprosy parade for $250+ and a monster contract.

The Charge is only my second Android phone. The Fascinate was my first. Although my experience is only based on Samsung, I still think Samsung offers superb phones and I will continue to buy them. I've played around with other phones. My brother had an old Eris and a buddy had an EVO off Sprint. I like the screens on Samsung better and I like how easy it is to Flash Roms. Its true that official OS releases are slow but I blame Verizon more than Samsung. Maybe I'm just lucky but I haven't had too many issues with my Charge and like it. I've enjoyed the screen, the audio, the physical buttons, and my phone runs pretty fast with lagfix. I have this phone tweaked out pretty good. Yes, it would be nice to have also but can't complain too much how it is running at present. I've experienced virtually none of the problems others report. I haven't had to turn my phone in to Verizon tech or anything .....same phone I got from the get go. I'm not oblivious to some of the complaints. I just don't have any of my own really. I like it although I will be going to the Nexus as soon as it comes out but not based on a dislike of my Charge. I just like to upgrade every year.

Yes screens on sammys are awesome. But easy to flash roms? No.its not hard I guess.. but compared to other phones its a *****.
Take the dinc for isntance. All roms flashes through rom manager. You have 50+ roms all instantly available to you. With the push of a single button you can load a new rom... don't like it and want your old one back? No problem push another button and go right back to what you were just running
Hell you could have a differrent rom for every day of the week if you wanted. Do a little playing with the other heavy hitting smartphones. Real playing .. buy one.. own it. Use it as your own. And you will agree.
The sole reason I got the samsung was so I could have first hand experience with one. I like to know about everything out there based on my own opinions and not others. I had friends with samsungs.. the captivate and the fascinate and one with the infuse. So I got the charge to see what the fuss was about.
The result of 6 months of ownership? Nice screen... the rest is **** tho
I've tried and tried to like it.. if there weren't so many other phones that were better, it would be a fantastic phone..
Samsung has disappointed me with their android devices. Just google "samsung gps problems". If your phone doesn't lock in <5 sec inside your house using standalone gps accurate to 3 feet.. why not? The other phones on the market do. Hell this one has actually locked on my position.. accurate to 10 feet.. and been moving with me down the road.. the only problem was it had me 500 miles away.. how is that even possible lol.
Ya.. this will be the last samsung phone I own. Will only own samsung tvs tho

Yeah the screen on the Galaxy Nexus is going to be completely fine, I was referring to the Droid Charge's non-PenTile as a perk compared to other similiarly-valued Verizon devices -- specifically, the Bionic, the X2, the Fascinate, and the first-revision DroidInc.
I have the sneaking suspicion that once the Galaxy Nexus hits you're going to be able to buy secondhand Bionics, Charges, and Thunderbolts for pretty equivalent low prices. The GN looks killer, but its existence isn't going to retroactively remove lovely hardware features (S-AMOLED+, Voodoo Sound) from the Charge. And the Charge certainly sucks now, but it's only going to get better with time.
Funny how the people who pay the highest prices get the ****tiest experience, and the ones who saunter in a year late after the wonderful development community has beaten the phone into something usable get the best experience for the lowest price.

Hardware is crap? Lololol.
So people are disappointed it's not a quad core phone with an 8mp camera, no sd card slot, no Exynos chip, and no keyboard(Wtf?). Seriously, the specs on the Galaxy Nexus are top notch. People just complain because it's not what they dreamed of.
Let's break it down.
-Galaxy Nexus has a 5mp camera. "o noes! No super high rez 8mp shooter!!!11! " Megapixels don't mean much. Example: the iPhone 4's and Galaxy S' 5mp cameras destroyed the Droid X's and Evo's 8mp camera. What mainly matters is the sensor.
-It has a TI OMAP 4460(I think) processor with an overclocked gpu. Almost no apps on the Market are optimized for multiple core processors. Up until recently, even our OS didn't take advantage of them. I think this is plenty.
-HD Super Amoled is pentile. Big whoop. With that pixel density, no one will notice. Let's see, what would you prefer? An HD Super Amoled screen or a slightly inferior S-LCD HD screen? Both will most likely have similar pixel densities.
-No SD card slot. How many times do you remove your SD card? I thought so.
-It has a barometer. Why? To get even more accurate GPS readings.
The only thing I hope for is that it has a great DAC like the Galaxy S and Droid Charge.

Atrix 2?

What do you guys think about the Atrix 2? In my opinion its worse than the Atrix 4G
1500 mAh battery vs the 1930 mAh in the Atrix 4G
4.3 inch qHD vs the 4.0 inch qHD that the Atrix 4G has, I think its worse because it will be more pixelated...
Worse GPU...
Same CPU.....
The only thing that's better is the camera...
Why did Motorola even bother releasing this?

Atrix 2 NOOBS???
I know all my specs, I know all about the pros and cons... i know how to use other peoples mods... I'm not gonna tweak or assume someone is holding out,like others, because i'm not developing... I will Say I'm addicted and can't wait to root, mod kernel, and get a different rom going on this thing... i do love it but here are a few things i would love to see...
Root
Tegra Games (huge)
Webtop hack
Kernel (like faux's)
Maybe a new ROM
Honestly this phone is great, except for the fact that when i compared bench's to a stock sgsII I was annihilated...
Kudo's to the guys who do all this hard work (I know I couldn't do it)... Also Thanks for the guides for NOOBS!!! (Little more advanced here, clearly nowhere compared to some of you all)
To all the other noobs, quit freaking out you didn't develop anything... gotta appreciate the folks that do...

No issues with my ATRIX 2, battery lasts all day and no pentile screen rocks. Zero lag or stutters. Tons of ram woot!

The a2 doesn't have tegra chip so......

OP, ive had both. Id take the atrix 2 all day.
Phone has no blur. Much quicker.
Phone is thinner
Screen is larger, pentile is gone, looks brighter / more like a SMOLED.
Camera is much better. Theres an actual camera button.
I for one, hated the position of the on / off / fingerprint scanner (never worked for me anyway). like the new one much better.
battery is better for me. I like the rubber back much better. wont get worn and shiny and quick.
Despite having the same ram / proc specs, it has a better shot of getting ice cream sandwich.

I am not going to argue about the rest as they are your personal preference and I respect that.
But better shot at getting ICS? Now why on earth would you say this considering that moto has only planned for ICS updates for phones on Verizon and has totally left out both Atrixes.
If you are referring to processor, then I would like to point out that the Xoom tablet has a Tegra 2 processor and Moto said it will get ICS.
I would like to see your reasoning behind this.

[Q] Atrix 2 or Lg Nitro

I have an upgrade shortly I was planning on getting the nitro for 100. Then with the announcement of ICS for the Atrix 2 it put me in a knot. I had the og Atrix loved it, the successor would be a good holdout till the 3rd but with the price drop on the Lg im very much considering that . I dont root or use custom roms and a HD screen would be nice but do you think the LG would ever get official ICS from ATT? THis year even if? I as hoping one of you atrix 2 owners could help steer me in the right direction. Sorry 4 wallotext

I am not sure about how good the LG Nitro is as a phone.... I can assure you though that the Atrix 2 is GREAT. Yes it has it's bugs but compared to almost any other cellphone out there it's great. The only cellphone that truly beats the Atrix 2 is the Galaxy Nexus.

And once its overclocked (at least in my benchmarks) the only thing that beats it is the prime.

When i used my upgrade and got my A2 i had looked at the lg nitro. This is what i came up with concerning that phone. It's ugly! Everything about it is ugly. Performance wise it seemed extremely laggy. I wouldn't have that phone if someone gave it to me for a spare phone. Get the A2.

LG really doesn't make very good phones. To be honest with you I'm not even a big fan of Motorola but for the most part I like the Atrix 2, and I think now that Moto is owned by Google, their newer Android offerings may actually end up with a bit of an edge over HTC and Samsung in terms of stock rom performance and moddability soon.

I personally especially agree with that. LG just never made phones that were up to par with all the other manufactures. I haven't used the Nitro before but playing around with the 2 phones at the store would definitely help with your decision. I am extremely happy with my decision with the A2 since my choices were the A2 and SG2 but this phone has exceeded my expectations. With ICS on its way I am even more happy. I know you don't like to use custom ROMs but i think for this phone, using the Supercharged ROMs, which is just a deodexed ROM that is overclocked, makes the phone even better. I love the phone stock but having it overclocked just alittle makes things alittle smoother and having the battery percent mods and notification toggles just make the user experience so much better. If it were my choice i would pick the A2 all over again though.

LG nitro or Atrix 2
I actually sold my Atrix 2 to get the Nitro. I sold my Atrix to get my Atrix 2.
Atrix was a better overall device compared to the Atrix 2.
The Atrix 2 had a slightly better camera. The speakerphone on the Atrix 2 was awful and the OMAP processor made some of my apps not compatible.
The Nitro HD is a better overall device than the Atrix 2. The picture quality is much better w/ flash. Although it is slower the pictures are MUCH better to me. The front facing camera on the HD is higher resolution. The speakerphone on the Nitro blows away the Atrix. The screen is amazing. It looks like a mix between my old captivate screen and the Atrix 2 screen in HD quality.
The LG nitro lacks in a few spots from my experience. Unexplained lags on browsing at times is odd. Sometimes the pages take a long time to load, but not always. Not sure if it's not AT&T throttling data. The battery on this thing goes fast. The only downfall I really am concerned about. I wish we could get an extended battery and upgraded back plate. Something like the RAZ Maxx vs the RAZR. nothing ugly or bulging out, just a flush back.
All in all I am so much happier with this than my Atrix 2. Just wish there was more Dev support and morecustom Roms .

I appreciate the input. Im leaning a little towards the Nitro but im still torn between the 2. I need to just go in the store and take a better look at them next time im there. I actually like the optimus ui though most people arent aware of its actual functionality that many oem launchers dont have. Im more or less debating between hardware and ics.

The best way to find what you like is by looking at them. Feel and aesthetics are always a big part of buying a phone. Compare the i guess 3 phones and see advantages and disadvantages of them and see which disadvantages you can deal with. And if you do care about customizing with ROMs then look at the development of the phones. And while you are at the store play with the UI and all that fun stuff to help out with the decision.

i've just sold my optimus 3D, that phone has a very annoying bug called "ghost call", it doesnt even work like a normal phone, but LG ignored us, the update process of LG is also the slowest too.
Look at their page on facebook, you will find that LG is a bad brand, people all around the world are complaining about how bad LG products are, but they will never notice.....

I really like the atrix2 but the lack of an HD screen kinda irks me. I kinda feel like it isn't much of an upgrade over the OG. Only thing really stopping me from choosing the nitro 4 sure is the lack of an upgrade to ics announcement from att not lg. Hopefully something leaks out for the nitro by the 30th of march or ill just have to go with the safe purchase more than likely. If I wasn't so impatient I'd just wait for the Ion lol.

I looked at both as well. Nitro had faster processor, HD display, LTE, and the better likelihood of ICS (hadn't been announced for Atrix 2 at the time of my purchase).
But sadly, as others have said, Nitro felt laggy to me when I played with it in the store. SGS II Skyrocket felt much snappier though didn't want it cause lack of HD screen.
Plus Nitro was ~ $200 and Atrix 2 was free! In the end I choose Atrix 2 and haven't regretted it yet! I haven't even done any modding to it - still in completely stock condition. Feels speedy; "4G" has been much better than my old Captivate for browsing, and although no HD screen, it is higher resolution than the typical Android - looks super crisp.
Plus battery life has been phenomenal! Both Skyrocket & Nitro have been blasted because of poor battery life. My Atrix 2 at the end of a 17-18 hour day is still at 60% plus.

Motorola did announce ics for the atrix 2. Its scheduled for Q3 of this year.
