Will AT&T ever get this device?

I'm sorry if this has been discussed. Will AT&T ever get this device? If not where is the best place to purchase an unlocked GSM version of it? Thank You!

Pretty sure you could buy the AT&T version from Best Buy for ages now.
*edit* July of last year in fact.

its not that bad of a question. If you live some place where Best Buy isn't or just ignore that inglorious box of blue stained diaper filler you'd not know that the i9020A was available there.
That said, having gone from a Captivate to a Nexus S myself, you might want to sit on your wallet for a bit and wait for the Galaxy Nexus to finally come to AT&T. I made the leap knowing that the captivate and nexus S are more or less the same hardware only because I knew the Galaxy Nexus was going to be uncomfortably large in my hands.
From an Android standpoint, a captivate with Cyanogen or some other AOSP based ROM will work and act like a Nexus S. Only real reason to move is if you want AOSP without having to work for it

The NS was never available at an AT&T store but only at Best Buy. This is why there is no AT&T branding as it really isn't a AT&T "supported" phone.

Will mt4g gets Official CynogenMod 9...???? | Find out Yourself

Everyone is anxiously waiting to get the official CynogenMod 9 support for their device to enjoy the taste of vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich.
This Chart will help you calculate the possibility of getting a CM9 update for your device.
So Will you see CynogenMod 9 on your device...???? Let's hear it from the comments....

Thanks for the chart. According to that, we have a 50% chance of getting official CM9. Not exactly the odds we were hoping for.

****ty odds.

It is, although I have a feeling the CM team is being conservative with their likelihood estimates so they won't hype expectations. Even if your device is getting an official ICS update from your manufacturer, they only give you a 75% chance. I can't image CM9 not coming to your device in that situation, so I bet the chances are actually a lot more than 75% for them, and therefore probably more than 50% chance for us (especially with the DHD getting official ICS).

"Does it have dedicated GPU" is the point that ruins the whole chart to me.
Did you ever see a PC powering up and showing something on the screen without any kind of GPU? And where was the screen connected to at that point?
The same applies for phones. Each SoC has its own GPU, good or bad, and such an item in the table makes it more of a joke.

I didn't understand that either. Even the lowly G1 had a dedicated GPU of some kind.

[Q] My htc one x is reporting 688mb of ram...

I was using my rogers HTC one X and was supprised to recently notice that i only have 688mb of total ram when using cpuz for android... also when i go into running apps, the sum of running and free ram space is 688mb. it should be 1gb. is mine a defective phone?

unfortunately my phone is the same, when they say 1gb, its just an estimation, you dont actually get 1000mb, you get either a bit less or a bit more i cant remember. As for how much RAM your phone is using, HTC is generally known for having very boaty software and even though sense 4.0 is supposed to be very lightweight, it doesnt seem to be :/ try getting a taskmanager app from google play, it may be able to help keep some of those pesky consuming apps closed though

Some of the 1GB is carved out for display address space and other drivers/hardware. Yes, it has 1GB, but not all of it's available to the OS for program execution, same as a desktop machine

I also have 688

A HD screen is bound to use more graphics memory than any SD screen. The missing RAM is reserved and used by GPU.

welcome to operating systems and hardware integration 101......how else did you expect to have pretty stuff drawn on the screen? magic?

ok thanks everyone. was unsure why they don't mention that there is memory allocated for the gpu in cpuz. thought total ram should say 1gb, like on a computer. makes sense though

I have this problem too
I have a ATT HTC One X

My friends have a HTC One X International
I think we have some problems maybe the 1.82 updates fixed it.

why is it every time a new device comes out we have threads like this? has anyone actually researched this before they come here and fire up a thread? im guessing not.
ZOMG1111!!!1oneoneone they lied to us about ze RAMz!!!1111oneoneone
no. your phone physically has 1GB of RAM. end of story.
dont forget comparing an international one x and an att one x is completely retarded....they are DIFFERENT PHONES with DIFFERENT PROCESSORS AND GPUS.....
wtf

Do NOT do this! If you're going to use something to manage tasks, use a manual task killer, not an automated one. You will see a loss in performance with little to no increase in battery life. There have been lots of tests done regarding this here at XDA.
Also; Why are you people so worried about using your 1gb of ram? If it's there, why not use it? Worry about memory management when you're regularly running out.

Scooby Doo and the case of the missing RAM..... To the Mystery Machine gang!!

I do find it odd that the tegra 3 version was able to keep all 1gb though. Must be a similar design to the xbox 360 where it is dynamically shared between gpu and cpu. You would think the s4 would have the same ability...
There were a thousand posts back when the captivate came out wondering the same thing about its ram. Advertised as 512mb but only ~300mb in reality. (latest roms have 387 though) In that case a bunch of ram was reserved for the GPU and 720p video encoding/decoding. Probably the same situation here as others have said.

yea...the phone has a 1g ram...but different gpu in design...which how the ram is used toward the gpu is assumed to be different..

Goodbye Atrix 2 community !

Updated : 24 Mar. 2013
Hi guys here, I'm back !
My "old" but like new shape Atrix 2 was in dry cabinet for 8 months. Now it has been replaced with good mother board that came from broken screen one.

---------------------------------------------------
Been Atrix 2's user for 5 months. It's a very good phone with many advantages over other that I've ever used : rock build with manly body shape, runs fast and fast even at stock Rom, battery so good right out of the box and phone always be cool during of heavy using...
But unlucky for me, just a moment that I could not be patient anymore and made huge mistake and my phone gone to the hell forever
Now I switched to Google Nexus S with very cheap price for ~$150 and flash cooked Rom every ... hour ! OMG, I so wonder if an obsolete hardware like it can runs very fast and smooth with ICS or JB, even with all procedures in touch CWM : flashing, booting, backup and restoring etc... so fast.
I just need about 3 mins done for a every new Rom (including flashing + booting). So surprise !
Thanks all of you guys here. I've had lot of happy time here. Good luck to all !
Be happy with our Atrix 2 ! Goodbye !

So long, and enjoy the new phone! Feel free to stop in and say hello from time to time, specially after Jim finally unlocks that pesky bootloader!

Bump .................................

[Q] Opinion re: practicality of app space for heavy app use

I am looking at both the HOX and the Skyrocket (aka Samsung S II LTE on Rogers). From what I've read, despite having similar specs, the HOX is superior. The obvious limitation is the lack of expandability. While for *most* users this wouldn't be much of an issue (use that Dropbox space!), I have my phones loaded with tons of medical references. Right now, I have ~7 GB of apps on my old HTC Sensation 4G. So, I'd like an opinion as to whether you think the HOX is a practical choice. I'd rather take a hit on performance than sacrifice apps!
Edit: When I say ~7 GB of apps, I do mean the apk + its data, not just apks only. Also, I'm definitely rooting whatever phone I get. I'm using AOKP on my Sensation right now and will probably do the same with the new one.

I have the skyrocket and the hoxl my skyrocket is half the phone the hoxl is if u need storage can't u get a 32gb version of hoxl?
My skyrocket has screen blobs on it and the sticky power button issue so ya two hardware problems on one phone bad deal get the hoxl and don't look back.

Rogers doesn't carry the 32 GB version, and I can't afford to buy one elsewhere.
This doesn't answer my question, though. As I said, I'd rather suffer some small annoyances than be unable to keep my vital references!

It's all up to you man... If the space is really that much of a bother get the skyrocket end of story

I have about 5gig of app w/data, but I don't store music and photos. I use Pandora and transfer photos to pc regularly. Have about 8 gigs extra space after my backup of Rom and downloads.

box of kittens, the point is that I don't know if space will be that much of a bother! That's why I'm asking for some opinions!
Thanks, rdannar!
Any others willing to share their experience?

Here's what you have to work with on this phone. You can determine if it's enough for you.

only you know what you can/can't live without. if your medical stuff requires more space than the phone has and you can't afford the 32gb version, then your decision has been made for you. I came to the HOX from Sensation and have managed just fine, but we all have different needs I guess.....

One thing about that picture I posted, I'm pretty sure 4 gbytes is taken up by "other" in the apps partition... Its reserved so you can't use it.

You get about 2gb for apps 10gb for storage and yea about 4gb for system stuff you can't really use.View attachment 1718684
