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

they may offer you another atrix 2. i wouldnt hesitate to do it if they dont give you a different phone. lemons do happen although very rare but it does happen.

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.

Just ordered Skyrocket...chances of Skyrocket HD being released in next 30 days

Hi all,
I am switching from Sprint and just ordered a refurbished Skyrocket for $49. I have 30 days to switch to a different phone so what are the chances of the Skyrocket HD or anything else worthy coming out within that period?

Realistically you can't go wrong with a skyrocket. You have 2 devices worth of devs, radio freq. That works on anything but verizon or sprint, which means service can just about be had anywhere, yes maybe no hd display but all the benefits out weigh having hd on a phone

I just bought a skyrocket and don't live in a LTE area...(planning for it this year) I like the phone alot but I noticed not alot of development going on compared to the sgs2. Skyrocket don't have miui which is a pretty popular rom. Anyway, just wanted to ad that tidbit for what's it worth to whoever.

the one he is referring to is a gsm galaxy nexus, which you will have to buy off contract in the 5 hundred dollar range. (atleast that's the only one that can compare to the skyrocket) so unless you have 500 to blow you made the best choice on att right now unless you want the giant note

No LTE yeah, but really wasn't your life chugging fine until now anyways? Realistically, if I got to choose again, I'd take the nexus over the skyrocket. The software pains are absolutely horrible compared to the HSPA pains.
There's always the future software upgrades, nexus will keep you on top of them for at least two revisions, don't expect that from AT&T.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but I've been looking for a case that is Minimal and still shows off the back of the phone. I came across this one and went to look at the prices available... than I looked at the last option... $104,921.73!!!!! I HOPE this is a seller error... I really do hope... I just thought this was funny and I would share with fellow Nexus 4/XDAers. Have a good one.

Actually it says $13,99.
Or maybe the dollar devaluated again...
Edit: OMG just saw it! What a silly way to say you're out of stock...

Got mine yesterday! Great case i have to say. Highly recomended!!! :good:

And they have the nerve to charge 5¢... Lol
Ehh the rest of the shipping and handling cost is in there somewhere!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I was thinking if ANY case is that much it better have an extra 3,000mh (if that's the right abbreviation) battery built in, signal boosters for both WiFi and Cell Data/Radio, pure diamond and/or hardened steel, light-weight, and have an extra voice assistant that knows you by name and balances your checkbook.
Side note, I am thinking about this case but does it add a lot of extra bulk to the device?

Exchanged

Went to Best Buy and had to exchange my S4 for another one. My phone kept losing connection to the network. It did it 3 times and all my text messages and missed calls would pop up all at once a couple hours later. Anyone else had problems? I don't know if it was the update. Seemed like everything started going wrong after.

I was in WalMart yesterday and asked the guy behind the electronics counter of they've had a lot of gs4 returns. He pointed to two boxes behind the counter and said those were the only two they've sold and both were returned days later for losing their connection to the network. This is in Leitchfield, KY.

Hmm, don't know whats going on. I was thinking about getting the htc one but I came out with the same phone again. This one seems a lot more responsive. I don't know if I want to update it or just wait. I might have just got a bad phone. It's rarely that I have issues like that. The guy at Best Buy said most of their returns were because of lag.

Sure hope this doesn't happen with mine.

a buddy of mine had a similar issue on the SG4 and HTC One; turns out it was his sim card. which, by the way, was brand new. hope you guys have better luck.

Checked my phone for the update. Seems like it was already updated. So this phone must have been just delivered to the store the other day with the update preinstalled. I've only had the phone freeze one time when I was using the camera last night. Other than that everything is working great.

I haven't gotten mine yet, as I'm not eligible for upgrade until June. I'm on the fence when it comes to color, though. If I go with black, I'll definitely get the 32GB, but I'm kinda diggin' the white.

Well, i've moved on from the s3 2 days ago. Traded a guy on craigslist for a galaxy nexus. It's been an amazing 7 months and that's why i'm making this thread to thank all the devs and the community for making it such an awesome device, it was the 1st phone i used that actually felt like an upgrade from my og inc :thumbup: :beer:

I hope it wasn't a straight trade and you needed extra money.

Nah I got a new otter box with it and 100$ so I think I did pretty okay. My main complaint about the s3 was the build quality. The nexus fells way more sturdy. And I couldn't stand the capacitive and home buttons either.

I came from the nexus to the S3. They are both great phones and I do miss the nexus sometimes but I am so thankful for the devs here. I think it was a good trade.

Good luck, I came from the GNEX. The terrible camera, bad battery and iffy signal made me jump to the S3. Even with those issues I still contemplated going back to one. There is just something sweet about owning a Nexus device.
Anyway, I am holding out for either the Moto-X as long as it will have stock Android and be updated like a Nexus device, otherwise I am going to the next Nexus to come out and if not on Verizon, then I might jump ship to T-Mo.

It's a Nexus, the development community is still very much active. Plus he stated he made $100 off the deal, so I think his luck will be just fine.

I didn't take into consideration development. All I really know about the phone is that the battery lasts maybe 6 hours...
100$ is nothing tbh when you're investing in something you'll use every day....
I don't think 200$ is even relevant. At 300 the argument could start to be made but I think the cost/use ratio makes the extra couple hundred negligible at best.
Economics ruined my life

VZW 32GB GNexs' still fetch between $150-200 on Craigslist, so $100 included in the deal comes fairly close to what 16GB S3's are currently fetching, which is on average $280-300.
As far as battery life is concerned, YMMV.....when I had a GNex, and was running a custom ROM/Kernel combo, the battery life was on par with what I'm getting on my stock s3.
I'm sure we can both agree to disagree on many aspects of the OP's deal, but he definitely didn't make a head-scratching decision.
