Keep A2 not an AHD? - Motorola Atrix 2

So I recently sold my nexus 4. Since I got an Atrix prior as part of a trade, I usually use it as a temp/backup, but the camera burnt out. I was gonna get an AHD for $150, meanwhile I wait for the Xphone. That deal fell through. So I got an Atrix2 with an Atrix thrown in. But I keep looking on cl for any deals and found another unlocked AHD for $150..
But then I looked on here at their forums and realized the bootloader was just unlocked and not much dev. Can't remove the battery not as many accessories and most important no fm radio..
I think, why, best to keep what I've got and just wait..
Opinions?

well ..... all i can say that A2 is way better than AHD.
previously some members from AHD have posted that AHD almost have no development & about to die. (idk latest situation)
i'd have gone for A2 .... considering ROMs & active devs. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] You will buy the Sensation, what are you waiting for?

This is ONLY for you who do plan to buy the Sensation. Are you going to buy day 1 no matter what? Waiting to see if the initial reviews are good, but not for it to be rooted and bootloader unlocked? Waiting for it to be rooted and the bootloader unlocked? Waiting for root, unlocked bootloader and S-OFF? Let's see the figures in a poll .
I'm waiting for at least the Sensation to be rooted and the bootloader unlocked.
Of course "bootloaded unlocked" should read "boot loader unlocked" .
Just waiting to see the initial reviews. I am hoping to see that there is no sort of LAG and good battery life(at least full day of average usage per charge). Also a good GPS is a must for me. I really dont care about the benchmarks like most the people. I want to have a solid working phone with no reception issues, no bleeding issues and no software issues. I am sure that some devs would be getting this phone and before we know it would have root and more. For now I cant wait to see some real world reviews of the final product!
Day 1 I'm calling up CC to get it hopefully with a 1 year extension for $50 more than the 2 year price.
I can live without s-off but I can't without root & unlocked bootloader. I really hope this baby will be cracked or I'll be forced to keep my Desire a few more months. :/
Im sure it will be cracked. Alot of devs will be getting their hands on this phone. Seeing as its going to be the first dual core htc phone for tmobile. The question is how long will it take to be cracked. People thought the g2 was a lost cause but it happend.

Same here for calling customer care asap when released. Not worried about the bootloader cause I'm sure something will come along that will allow custom Roms. If not, well I'm currently running sense 3.0 port on g2 and it's freaking awesome. Now throw in much better hardware sound make for a great experience.

i'm drooling to have this but i need the price to drop, otherwise i will get the Nexus S
I think I won't wait and I'll just read reviews but lemme ask you.. what's so bad in HTC's rom at all or in the boot loader? (not that I know what it is.. never had Anroid so this is going to be the first hopefully)
I live in the US. But the UK will be having it first on the the 18th if im not mistaken. I have at least june 8th to decide. "HOPEFULLY" when it lands on the US itll be rooted and an unlocked bootloader. But either way im getting it.
I'm 90% sure it will be cracked, so I'm buying on day 1. Selling my two current phones (Desire HD and Galaxy S i9000) to get it.
I already ordered mine on Handtec. Hopefully the idiotic customs bureaucracy we got here in Israel won't delay it too much.

Given the developments in Sense 3.0, I'm not too worried if it gets unlocked or not, but I guess it would be nice if the community found a way into it!
After buying the samsung i8910 day 1, without reviews, I've decided to wait for some initial reviews from now on to prevent making bad decisions again.

What is S-OFF really?
please tell me.. I am quite a newbie sorry:$
Play.com put this up for pre-order @ £499.99 in the UK. Tracked £17 odd cashback on my TopCashback too. Not too bad. Really hope S-OFF Can be achieved, but not a massive deal, I have 2 other phones I can mess with custom roms on, and switch between them all. But I'd imagine the XTC clip should be able to do it, if it can for the IS and DS.
+1 ill be in line on June 8th early

Me too.
Pre-ordered mine from play.com this morning, unlocked. They've got a date of 30th June.
I bought a G2x, returned it for another one, it too was plagued by the random reboots, so I returned it and got a Nexus S... Which due to my poor planning has to be returned by June 3rd... so, I am going to resort to borrowing a G1 for a few weeks so I can have the Nexus S money back in hand come release-day for the Sensation.
I'm not sure what people are all freaked out about - the MT4G and G2 didn't get unlocked for several weeks after their release. Give the XDA masters a chance to work their magic

**OFFICIAL** What Phone Should I Buy?

Attention!
In light of all the posts that are deleted and/or closed due to many off-topic posts about what device a person should buy, I have created this official thread.
Although XDA is not a place to extensively talk about what device person should buy, some forums permit it. So to help keep the threads a little cleaner, you may post your questions here.
Granted there are other sites more into device reviews and comparisons, but in the interest of keeping some people happy, and to avoid getting posts deleted, this thread is created for people who have no idea what device to get.
In the end, you should still march your happy self to a shop, and play with the devices that are available. Only then will you be satisfied with your purchase.
Any posts elsewhere asking such questions, that should be in this thread, will still be deleted or closed. This includes posting multi-duplicated posts in several forums outside of official threads.
Thanks, and Hope you use this.
pre order the htc one!!!!
wel, i had the atrix 4g and did alot with it. now i got the atrix 2. i like it more in terms of camera screen and overall feel and preformance, but this bootloader it bringing me down in terms of wanting more out of this awesome phone. so, with that said....around the ninth of may i will be leaving the atrix 2 threads as i have just pre ordered a htc one on [email protected] and will be moving there. the atrix 2 is going to a good friend as we are on aplan together but he has no knowledge of android so seeing that its already rooted and has a custom rom im sure ill he back off and on keeping him up to date with the latest and greatest i know this phone will get here soon. thanks devs for all the hard work for this device and maybe ill see a few of you in the htc one threads.
Unlocked Galaxy Nexus, no contract, $400 direct from Google. No brainer

loved my atrix 4g. favorite phone ever. screen broke though and insurance didn't have any more so i had to get an atrix 2. build quality, screen and camera are better. sacrificed fingerprint sensor, battery life and slightly better processor for it though. also the dev support on the atrix 2 doesn't come close to the support for the OG atrix.
Galaxy S III
Guys what do you think? Is it worth it to buy Galaxy S III right now?? Later? Or don't buy it at all?!

I'd get a Nexus just because the SIII is basically a beefier Nexus with TouchWiz 4.0 instead of straight ICS, but that's more personal preference than anything.

The Galaxy S III will be a great phone, they rooted it before it was even released and they already have an insecure kernel and boot image, so if you like ROMs and flashing. then that is the phone to get.
I will have a Galaxy S III the day it is released. I am in no way getting rid of the Atrix2, it will no longer be my daily driver, so I can hack the crap out the Atrix2, and get us some more great things, without having to worry about not being able to use my phone for an extended period of time, if I want to work on something over a whole weekend or something.

This is the boat I am in...my screen has gone bonkers, and my IT group wants to replace my Atrix with the Atrix 2. I had written off the A2 when they first gave me a choice...but this time I don't have a choice. Too bad because I have just about all the OG Atrix docks (car, lapdock, standard, HD, etc).
What I really want to know is whether or not I can modify the unit. With the OG Atrix now starting to see ICS with CM9 and AOKP, what will I be missing with the A2?
S3 or One X w'd be better choice
s3 comes with cheap build quality and One X lags in spite of its Quad core factor.

Honestly they are looking like the 2 strong contenders..... Sg3 boast a bit more cutting edge features and looks like one x does not have sd storage????? If I had the choice it would be Sg3 all day..... All boils down to preferences and needs do you need all Sg3 offers or would one x work for you.....
every htc phone sux in battery department....while SG3 Luks cheapish 4 a very high end phone ....i think sg2 is best and since price have gone down it more of a better choice...it can do everything what sg3 nd htc one x do....the only thing i t lacks is a hd display ....but seriously i saw htc one x nd SG2 hand to hand nd i dont notice any diffence in display pixel density....both look same....nothing big difference its just a hype of hd nothing more ......

I'm trying to decide if I should trade the Atrix 2 for a SGS2. Somebody at craigslits wants to trade. What do you think?
Shoot, I would take that offer.

I've posted my MB865 both on eBay and on Craig's List, and no takers. I've set the price very low and still have no luck trying to offload it. Guess I will just choke down the $199.00 from AT&T with a new 2 year for the SGS3.
C'es la vie...
Best Buy will probably buy it from you. Now I'm glad that I got the "buyback guarantee" thing. Once my contract is up I'll get about $150 for it to put towards another phone...more if I go in earlier. Earlier's looking good.
just wandering what you want to do that you can't with the A2 besides use a new rom everyday?

AOSP and AOKP are not going to work unless we unlock the bootloader. That is what I really like... I think blur is clumsy and fat...
The ONLY things about this phone that are great is that it is solid, and the battery is amazing.
Developing anything on this phone is a pain... my sgs 3 will be here tomorrow or tues at the latest, and I already have a kernel and cm9 compiled and ready to test and release over there.

I've seen this mentioned a couple of times and am curious - does Best Buy only buy back phones purchased from their store, or could I turn in my Atrix 2 purchased from an AT&T location?

No it does not have to have been bought at a best buy. I traded my HTC inspire that I bought at an AT&T corp store for the A2 and I had money left to buy a 32GB and a 64GB SDcard.
So basically I got the A2 and a 32GB SDcard, and a 64GB SDcard all for trading in my HTC Inspire 4g that was bought for 99 bucks at an AT&T corp store. So basically the phone was free and they gave me 2 SDcards with it...
Now I will say if you have ANY issues BB will screw you over, so be careful, and if you have an issue they will MAKE you get a geek squad monthly support contract... I told them to F-off, and took the first A2 that broke into the AT&T Corp store right across the street and AT&T still took care of me.
Oh, and I bought my SGS 3 from the AT&T website... no more BB after the issues with support even though it was 32 days after purchase.
I will say though, that if you need to trade your phone in to get another one, for money reasons, BB is the place to go. I have heard of certain AT&T corp stores doing trade ins, but the ones around me have never done that.

Anybody excited about the Atrix 3?

Anybody gonna ditch their A2 and jump on this when it comes out next month?
It does look pretty sweet! Although I am still trying to get my brain wrapped around getting started into dev'ing and hacking for the A2, I think I'll stick with this phone. I am torn though, thinking about getting the SGS3 when it comes out, but will still keep the A2.
Question: If the A3 comes with the bootloader locked, and we find a way to get the A2's bootloader unlocked, will it be easier (or theoretically) the same way to go about unlocking the A3's -assuming it comes locked?

Not sure if I'd describe it as "pretty sweet" but I guess it kinda looks updated. I really despise how the on-screen capacitive buttons, launcher dock and first row of apps take up roughly half of the on screen real estate, that's ridiculous. IMO, there's soooo much bezel at the bottom of the device why not put capacitive buttons down there and make use of all that space instead of just slapping a huge AT&T logo down there?
Lastly, if the bootloader is still locked then I imagine the modding community will embrace it after seeing the headache the A2 has caused. I mean, the A2 bootloader still isn't unlocked and here comes the A3 with a locked bootloader? I hope i'm wrong but ICS presents a whole other set of challenges to overcome and the minimal dev support for the A2 surely doesn't inspire confidence that the A3 will be any different. But the LTE, ICS, HD display...pretty cool upgrades I'd say.
So, what's the consensus... everyone leaning toward the SGS3?
I AM getting the SGS III on the 18th. I pre-ordered mine on the 6th... I am hoping to have it in hand late on the 16th or 17th (my local store is great about doing that for me).
The A3 will be the same locked down crap that we have now, and the development of this phone is just so hard to do. Look, I have been working just about every night for at least 1 hour, if not a whole lot more some nights, since ~Oct. 20th to break this bootloader. I have been working on getting a FULL version of CM7 running since Jan/Feb. with little success, due to the craptastic stuff MOTO/AT&T have done to this phone.
I have a XOOM and I LOVE that thing, it was unlocked from day one, there was a command that you run with fastboot to unlock the bootloader. I was hoping that this phone would be more like the XOOM, and we would eventually find an unlocked bootloader, but I am pretty sure that is not happening now.
I was hoping that Google would have smacked MOTO and these cell carriers around a little more, and MADE them (Moto) unlock the bootloader more like the Galaxies have, in that if you do you lose support.
This WILL be my last MOTO device. The A3 looks very promising but is still behind the ONE X and SIII and if what I have been reading is correct MOTO is back to their old ways again.The newest OS updates for the OG Atrix and Photon are supposedly locking the bootloaders back down on those devices!!!
A big no no MOTO !!!
My update isnt until this winter but I can promise it will be on a device that isnt no where as restricted as what we have right now
So, if someone, for example: jimbridgman, could get the bootloader unlocked, would that entice the devs to be more inclined to (at the least) keep the A2 and work development for it?
This has been my fist Motorubbish phone, and was doing just fine with it prior to having gotten the bug to root, and get my n00by white butt into doing everything I can to learn up on how to dev for this phone... but now that I'm all goofy about development and such, I am inclined to keep it and try to help out in that regard.
But, on the opposite side of that coin, I am really considering getting myself a SGS3 and see where that take me. Admittedly, I am so intrigued with dev'ing and hacking and so forth that it's pretty well consumed my free time. Albeit, I am no where near getting started on anything; however, I can't help but to geek out just on the stuff I've seen you guys (devs) have been able to do.
I think I veered off topic, but nonetheless I like the A2, despite its limitations that Moto pushed upon us. However, I will NOT be getting my hands on the A3 when it comes out. Just doesn't seem worth it.
For anyone who is thinking of jumping ship, you might want to sell your Atrix2 before the A3 comes out, otherwise your A2 will be worthless on the used market. Right now you get 250-300 for the A2 on Ebay or craigslist. And if you put the 200 you would spend on the SGS III upgrade, you could get an SGS III, from someone selling a new un-activated SGS III. I have Friends who buy an Iphone at every upgrade that the Iphone gets, and then sells them on the open market at 3 times the upgrade price, then gets a new andriod phone with the profit, and they don't use another upgrade.

Do you have to pay at&T extra money for upgrading or changing your device before 2 years, or something like that? We had the phone less than a year, could I just go and buy another phone from AT&T just like that?

Agreed. While you and a few others have worked hard to get us what we have for the A2, the development really never developed, hehe, pun intended. We all waited with baited breath for the bootloader to be unlocked, hoping it would spur the dev we all hoped for but it seems to be highly unlikely. I def appreciate the devs efforts though, you've made this phone decently enjoyable.

I'd imagine for a little while, but not many devs have this phone so the boost would be short lived, IMO. Too many phones out now that blow this out of the water, and more coming. I think the Atrix 2's opportunity to garner development success has come and gone

Yep, if you don't have an upgrade that is your ONLY option, that or like what 916x10 mentioned, about adding a line to your account to get it for 199.
I happen to get an upgrade just about every 6 months, since I have been with AT&T since '99, and I have ALWAYS had upgrade ability in the 6-12 month timeframe, even with a 2 year contract.... similar to the iphones "early upgrade" that you hear about.... I have no clue how, but that is just what I have had for going on 13 years now.
Remember you CAN sell the A2 for a decent price right now, even used they can go for 250-300 since they are a "4g" phone, but that will not last long, if the A3 comes out next month... just think about it... the A2 used price will drop to 99 most likely.
People pay these higher prices because they don't like their phone, or want the latest and greatest, and either don't want to use an upgrade, or don't have one.
Anyone can do this, and AT&T will not charge you anything, since all you have to do is put your SIM in the new phone, and that is pretty much it. Now with an LTE phone, you may have to go to a store and update your plan, but even still the worst they will charge you is a 25 dollar "upgrade" cost.

Oh... I see. I used my upgrade for this Atrix 2, that I got for free too. That's very cool that you can get upgrades every 6 months. I wonder if there is any way for other people to do the same. I would like to see a newer cell phone, but with this economy I cannot see myself spending that amount of money. Oh well... :/
Off topic but about bootloaders..
before this phone i had an xperia x10 and development went well.the bootloader wasnt unlocked untill the very end when i had that phone.
My question is..how is it we were running custom kernels ,roms like cm7 with its own kernel ..without an unlocked bootloader at that time?
I remember outta nowhere the bootloader was cracked and nothing major came from it.at that time i didnt even know what the purpose was as we were already flashing custom kernels and roms that use them. All that changed was no more bootloader logo lol.
Now today i know alittle bit more and i think back and wonder why it was we didnt require an unlocked bootloader to run custom kernels ...
Jim.maybe you know?..

Yep. I too had an X10, the dev on that thing was ridiculous! I never unlocked the bootloader but did all the other mods I could. I didn't understand all the fuss about the bootloader when I first got my A2 but apparently Motorola does things a little differently. IIRC, some of the x10 guys helped get our dev off the ground with their help on our recovery.
Those guys have some pretty cool ICS roms now...I was running Wolfbreak and man it was nice.
i like A2 better~!

[Discussion] Still some life left in A2?

Hi everyone, just a general discussion I was pondering on, and I wanted your thoughts!
Do you think there's still software life in A2?
At least for me, I currently own a HTC Amaze 4G I got from my dad (he upgraded) that is pretty much new. I since have rooted, S-offed and unlocked it from T mobile to use on ATT. It's pretty much the same specs as A2, with a little better camera IMO, and CM10 is stable on it.
With Ubuntu phone coming out, something like that is very intriguing to me, as I've also watched every video known so far on it, and with Jim leaving to go check it out, I was wondering, if I should just sell my A2 and go for a Nexus or so, or even maybe sell both phones and just get a Nexus 4.
What are your thoughts on my situation, and what are your thoughts in general on this topic?
I'm not a developer by any means, but it does intrigue me, and perhaps it could be a hobby that I pick up in the future.
Thanks for any replies!

Agreed. If you can hold out until they're back in stock I would highly recommend buying one.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I recommend to search forum first !!
there's a seperate thread in General section "[official] which phone should i buy"
& fyi we've discussed (badly) on forum very badly about this "whether to stay with A2 or not"
no offence intended buddy :good:

Hi everyone, just a general discussion I was pondering on, and I wanted your thoughts!
Do you think there's still software life in A2?
At least for me, I currently own a HTC Amaze 4G I got from my dad (he upgraded) that is pretty much new. I since have rooted, S-offed and unlocked it from T mobile to use on ATT. It's pretty much the same specs as A2, with a little better camera IMO, and CM10 is stable on it.
With Ubuntu phone coming out, something like that is very intriguing to me, as I've also watched every video known so far on it, and with Jim leaving to go check it out, I was wondering, if I should just sell my A2 and go for a Nexus or so, or even maybe sell both phones and just get a Nexus 4.

Can anybody tell you what music to listen to or which car to buy? No. This is called an individual preference. ATRIX 2 is a phone not a toy. If it meets your needs stay with it, if not move on.

New HTC One - Should I sell it?

Hi all,
I bought the HTC One yesterday, I got a good deal cut price of £210 I'm in the UK (London). I previously had the Nexus 4, but I wanted something better looking, this phone certainly fits the bill. I posted on the suggest device thread before, most recommended the HTC One a week ago.
Today, I'm reading some threads in the HTC One section and it looks scary the amount of problems all kinds people are experiencing.
What is the root of all these problems? Is it to do with custom ROMs? I'm a simple user, I've never used anything but default/STOCK what the phone comes with.
The phone is still brand new. Should I sell it next week, get my money back and buy a Nexus 5?
If I don't update to 4.4.2 will it be safe to use?
Please advise, asap, thanks.
I'm referring to posts like cracking sounds with the speaker, loud speaker turning on by itself, purple tint on camera.

If you don't mod your phone, it's unlikely you'll run into any of the problems people here talk about. Get the Nexus 5 if you want it, but don't sell the One just because people have a lot of problems with it. It's a really great device and you just bought it so not really worth it.
There are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!
