Good for you man, don't pay attentionto all the negativity over here people are getting buyers remorse because the sgs3 is coming out. It's a great device, I can't wait to see everyone that switches over complain over there.

My buyers remorse just came in the form of the GS2 my wife got yesterday for free... I was hating on it when it first came out, but now that I've used it, and it's been updated to ICS, I think I could be very happy with it. But then I'm addicted to the One S's camera, which, aside from the color over-saturation issue, is awesome and much better than the GS2's. Now I just have to wait for the GS3 to arrive and for ebay to be overrun with GS2's so I can snatch one up for cheap.

I plan on getting one myself depending on what comes with it but this is going to be my primary device. The other will be for development but I have a few devices now totaling 8 so I'll chalk it up to the collection.

I only buy phones as they come out.trade the old ones out. But not just any phone.only high end phones.once the note 2 comes out. Then I'll have it again.

No problem here and had you not read about it you wouldn't have noticed it yourself, it only happens when web pages first load and after that its gone.
My suggestion to you is to get rid if it and get the SGS3 and find that it will be slightly better but still there, people don't realize that the better the screen the more your processor has to work to correct it taking away from processing a little inorder to have 1 second of pixelation instead of 3.

As someone who owns both, I would recommend you stick it out and wait for the magic of an unlocked bootloader and custom ROMs to unlock the full potential of this phone and its dual-core CPU.
Compared to my Inspire, the battery life, lighter weight, better call quality, better antenna, and what seems to be crisper screen make my move from one to the other worth it.
I came from an Inspire, don't trade for it.... I love HTC phones, but I had a ton of oddities, with it.
There are a ton of things that can be done with out an unlocked bootloader, even ROMs, this phone has only been out a little over 60 days, hang tight there will be a ton of great things for this phone.
If you must trade for a mid line phone think about a used sgs, or an Infuse. If you really want a TOP end then go for an unlocked galaxy nexus.
Otherwise hang tight, and use bloat freezer, for the bloat on this phone, it is not bad for a stock build. If you don't like Blur, go get ADW launcher or Go Launcher Pro, or something like that.

I hope you're asking for cash on top. The Atrix 2 is a far better device compared to the Inspire. Not to say the Inspire is a bad device, but the Atrix 2 has far better specs compared to the Inspire. Good luck.

Don't do it.
I can't say that I'm jumping ship, but since my Atrix 2 is stuck in a bootloop and probably will be until the bootloader gets unlocked, I just ordered an Inspire from GreenCells to get me by in the meantime. As soon as the Atrix gets unf*cked though, you can bet I'll be switching back.
I've had so many f**king problems with this thing it insane. I've exchanged this phone 3 times at best buy cause of the same problems and once w/ AT&T. I don't know if I can deal with the same problems again. Such as screen scrambling "like snow on a TV" also random reboots, just to name a few. there are a lot more things I'm having go wrong.

Instead of choosing the inspire and you don't like the ATRIX 2 then see if they'll exchange for the sgs2. I had a nexus s they exchanged for the ATRIX 2. It could happen....maybe.....

I have a question... I have a Stock Atrix2, its doing all kinds of Crazy stuff, Im pissed off now, they announce a fix for the verizon Droid Slopzor, its been out 15th the time Atrx 2 is out. Its also suffering from many of the same things. I think the Atrix 2 should have been fixed or both at the same time.
Question: Does XDA have a Native Mail app similar to what Motorolas Native app can do, has a select all, and undo tab, dumping trash is a pleasure or in any folder..one click your done.?
I have an inspire I will trade right now I also have an atrix 1 love it been wanting a atrix 2

Unless you got your phone online or over the phone, they aren't going to send you another phone, let alone an upgrade. If you got the Atrix 2 from a store, you're going to have to take it back to the store. If you've had the phone for more than a month, they will tell you to call warranty exchange to get a refurbished replacement, but not before spending copious amounts of time troubleshooting first. If you have been with AT&T for a long time, without any shutoffs, or a late payment history, you can try the "I'll cancel my service" routine, which usually doesn't work, because you will still have pay an ETF. Basically, they own you until your contract expires. It sucks, but that's how AT&T rolls.

after really thinking about it this skyrocket is still kick ass ill just get a quadcore when my upgrade is available in December
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
yea i have an upgrade coming up around that time as well. but till then i am GOING to use my buy back if i can....then upgrade to the quad when it is released.....after reading our posts, i am officially a PHONE JUNKY.
i want them ALL!!!!
I'm still within my 30 day buyer's remorse period, but I don't think I care about an HD display enough to go back to my crummy old Motorola for a couple months.
When shopping for my phone I tried out a couple with HD displays, and I realized that kind of pixel density is kind of wasted on me. I can see the difference if I really squint, but I just don't care. I'd almost rather have the added gaming performance that comes with a lower res display.
Plus, there's going to be some Tegra 3 phone that I really want 3 months after that, and something even more awesome 2 months after that. The life of an Android owner is to get the very latest and greatest when you get your phone, and to have it stay the latest and greatest for about a week.
but it has a better display and is bigger.....even if just by .15 inches.
lol.......
again if its possible i will be getting it.......
That's awesome. But like some of you guys I'm gonna hang onto my skyrocket. My lovely wife is going to give me her upgrade in November as long as she gets my skyrocket. Thanks babe.

Samsung Galaxy S Blaze?

So here we go, another Samsung/T-Mobile fail. Why do they always do this. They always bring out the same headset with just some minor changes.
Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.
I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame
I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone

It's so good to be home.

I was an Inspire owner too and I remember you used to rule that forum. I am shocked that you left for iPhone! I moved onto the Galaxy Nexus when it came out and sold off the Inspire. I had an upgrade available now so there is no way I could pass this phone up... I love the phone but do miss the stock feeling of Android 4.0 so now all I really need is Root and CM9!
I remember you from the Inspire forums. I switched to the Note then the Nexus, now I can upgrade and I may get the One X. Good to see people attempting iPhone and regretting it, so I don't have to. The reason I'm maybe thinking of the One X is the camera, I'm going on holiday and don't want to be stuck taking GNex quality shots along the coast of Italy lol.

Just left my international GSII for this bad boy. (The GSII was the best phone ever btw). Freaking loving the screen and the sick build quality. It's so much better than Samsung's crap plastic
I too took a detour through some Sammys (The other phone at home is always iP - a conscious decision that works well ), Great to be back to HTC.
SGS2 was great for that generation, but LTE/batt life sucked and was a bit clunky (I have large hands), so wasted no time in getting my H1X.

The GPS is why I ditched my Inspire. I do a lot of things that use the GPS (mapping / running / cycling). That GPS would not stay locked and would turn a 5 mile run into a 15 mile run with all of the zig zags it would add to my course. Great for the Ego, but a pain in the A$$ otherwise.
To Answer your question the HOX is lightning fast to lock and stays locked pretty well from what I can tell. I have not used it with a gps app other than google maps yet but I am happy with what i have seen so far.

What's with everyone switching to the sgs3?

Is it the cool/popular thing to do or do they actually think it's a better phone?

Bingo u hit the nail on the head. People complain about the lack of removable battery. Ummmmmmm maybe 10% of pple would actually carry a spare. IPhone doesn't remove battery and I'm sure we're all aware of how well that does. And as far as storage goes, yea it wouldn't hurt to atleast have 32gb. But I havent filled 16. So consider me happy.

H8rift. XsMagical. Scott. And others are more then enough reasons for me to never leave this phone. And Rohan has done amazing things with AOKP and he is still in highschool if I'm not mistaken. These guys make our phone what it is and we have to work around ATT and HTC security features. The Devs we have are a reason not to leave.

I know two people who switched and didn't have one that was locked down. One is a developer and one did some theming.

Then you should ask them. And couple people isn't everyone.
The main reason is: most users if they don't buy the iPhone they'll go for sammy because of the brand. You don't know much about a smartphone but you at least know they make good tv's, computers, refrigerators, you name it. Where else do you see the HTC logo? Many people didn't hear about it. So, obviously pick the Samsung instead.

He also has the one x and is still developing for it.
If I had the money to spare he would have an nexus 7 as well

hmmm
What is the big deal about which smartphone you use? I would bet that most people on XDA are pretty well clued up about phone tech and so, money permitting, they will make an informed purchase, buying the phone that suits them best.
I own the SGS3 and yeah, I think it is top notch handset, but that doesn't mean I diss other handsets. I like to think I'm more evolved than that (though some of my pals would dispute that :laugh. If someone comes to me for smartphone buying advice, I will try my best to give an informed opinion based on my experience and their tech knowledge and needs...and quite often I'd send them down the iPhone route, not because I think it is a better phone (though Apple, whether you like it or not, make fantastic hardware, just a shame about the company ethos), but because it is probably the best phone for them.
Most on this particular thread will probably own an HTC...again good top noth handsets, but I personally avoid them due to a very bad customer service experience a couple of years ago (threads can be found elsewhere), but that doesn't stop me recommending them to others (though I do also relate my experiences). And many others on XDA will own a whole variety of other smartphones.
The point is, does it matter which phone you own? Yes, some people will spend a fortune on a top end handset just for bragging rights, but there's nothing worse than a 'phone snob'. Most of us on XDA buy what is best for us and are generally happy and if we're not, we switch.
You pays your (hard earned) cash and makes your (well informed) choice. Enjoy what you have, worry not what other think about it and be proud that you are part of XDA and have the knowledge to tinker with and give advice about your techie toys. Just don't get caught up in a 'mine's better than yours' debate.
Happy tinkering folks!
