Upcoming Atrix 2 owner here! My Atrix 1 died. It shutdown in the middle of a Google + Hangout and I could never get it to boot again. That phone was just starting to be awesome as well. I had CM9 (ICS) and they just got 2D acceleration working! It was so cool.
I got an early upgrade from AT&T. They didn't have any Atrix 1s left, so I was offered an Atrix 2 for $99. The Atrix 1s I was finding on ebay were at least $250. I really like the hardware in the Atrix 2. The 4.3 inch screen (non-PenTile) looks really nice.
So ya. I got an Atrix 2! It will come in the mail in a few days. I can't wait!
Hi guys!

Welcome! Just wait and see, once CM9 is out you will be just as excited about your OG Atrix.
I was just about to pre-order the HTC One S for $600 bucks but then I started to look at used S2's and I've seen them in mint condition for $350-$400.
Are everyone out there happy with CM9 / ICS on their S2s? Should I punt on the HTC One S for a used S2?
Let me redirect you to the S2 form.

Ok.. this is weird because I swear to goodness I posted it there.
Sorry everyone!
I recently installed light flow on my newly purchased One S. Loving it by the way.
Has anyone gotten light flow to work. I have the North American version from Fido. z520m I believe.
Its unrooted and stock. Can't wait to see how this thing flies on Jellybean.

light flow does not work in the One S. Because our notification LED only has two colors-- green/orange, unlike the galaxy nexus and galaxy s3, etc ...

Isn't it with all HTC devices that don't have a tri-color LED?

great thanks! I was not sure as other people have stated that there might be a tri-colour led. thanks for the clarification
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there's a dual boot that I can use for my skyrocket. I looked around other threads I spent about a couple hours (2-3?) and no luck. I did find that a lot of other galaxy variants have it like the Galaxy Y and the S2 but I can't find one for the Skyrocket. Any know where I can get it?
Edit: I wanted to install another ROM like Sky or Paranoid one of those JB ones not Windows/iOS.

I know there's one for the S2 but not ported over to us yet AFAIK

I may be mistaken but, I believe this was mentioned a while back. If I remember right, it's next to impossible or would take a LOT of work to happen.. something to do with our hardware. I could be wrong.
Yeah I actually asked this over a year ago when I first picked up my rocket. So sad there's still nothing :-\

im new to the photon q and im trying to figure out the beam feature. Ive been googling to try and find it out but I cant get any info on the photon specifically. i tried to beam a picture to my sisters s3 and it opened up the the play store and said search not found or something similar. when she sent one to me it would send me to the same place or it would say that my device cant receive large format files or something like that.
it sent webpages just fine but wouldnt do pics. is this because they are on a newer version of android?
as a side note question is this phone a legit contender in the smart phone world? I bought it from best buy to give it a try because they let you try it for 30 days and if you dont you can exchange it for somethign else. Is it in league with the s3? is it crap? I like the keyboard a lot and hate to not have one but I need to upgrade because my beloved epic is dying. what are your opinions on the phone? versus the s3? some other valid contender?
thanks all
I like it, but I'm a whore for a keyboard.
AFAIK the NFC chip in this thing is completely useless. Doesn't work with Google Wallet, and I seriously doubt if it'll work with the S3. I'm betting Sammy's NFC sharing only works with other Sammy devices....
that kinda sucks. its far from a necessity to have it but it would have been cool. is it a hardware thing or software do u know?
I talked to someone at sprint about the NFC once b/c I was tryna do the same with a s3. They basically told me that its not compatible b/t ics and jb b/c of the way the data is compiled, sent and received or something like that. It's been so long since I was told about it. Ics to ics yes that is supposed to work but not ics to jb.

Uhm... That's not true at all. When the S3 was on ICS, it didn't work. Whenever we get JB, it still won't work with the S3. Again, AFAIK the Samsung beam is proprietary to Samsung.
At any rate, I am hoping it's just a software issue. We have the NFC chip, and I don't believe the chip itself is crippled... but I am just speculating at this point. I do not know for a fact, just wishful thinking! :good:

It must be a Samsung thing because I had the same problem with my friends S3 to my photon but my nexus 7's NFC works fine with the photon q

Hey, the N7's NFC worked with the Photon Q...? That's impressive! So it seems we have a regular NFC chip, perhaps it's just Google Wallet that doesn't work... Wonder why?
Google wallet is typically blocked as per the carrier because they have or are about to have their own NFC payment method (like Verizon and Isis).
Also, the GS3 uses its own funky thing for NFC. The Q's NFC works the same as any other device, so things like Android Beam work. GS3 uses S Beam or whatever they call it, which only works between GS3 devices.
To answer OP's additional question, yes, this phone is up there on the top of the "powerful smartphones" list. The screen has a lower dpi than most, but it makes up for it with the processor. The only faster chips on the market are the S4 Pro (in the DNA and Nexus 4) Exynos 5 (Nexus 10).

That sounds kinda sorta along the right idea. From what I've read jelly bean enhances NFC for larger file transfers by automagically initiating a Bluetooth connection between the devices to send data like pictures.
Here's the fist link I found that briefly mentions it too.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/27/google-details-jelly-bean-nfc-features-android-beam-upgrade-ta/
So yes, in essence NFC is useless for us with ICS, you could send contact info (like palm pilots used to do with IR), web links, and other very basic textual information and that's it for now, the larger things should be doable once we get jelly bean hopefully at some point in the first half of this year.
Samsung's S Beam uses wifi direct to make a connection as opposed to the bluetooth connection made with Android Beam.
Wifi Direct can send a hell of a lot more data at a faster rate than bluetooth. U can download the app "wifi direct" from the app store and send photos, movies, etc.
i sent a website to my friends tmobile galaxy s3 with NFC enabled on both devices just by touching the backs. it DOES work on this phone
