Lol Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave. RIP, man.
Quick point guys.
If Siri is ported and it uses the "token" that the iPhone 4S uses to identify itself to Apple's servers, it becomes warez.

Ironically, you lament about what you have been "told" in the past, yet you are expecting people to "tell" you again.

Install it using Cyanogenmod 9, it has Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 it is amazingly fast. The battery lasts a lot more. The only bad thing is that it will not have Video camera recorder. And the fingerprint unlock won't work eather. Beside that everything else is so fast and cool. You can install Google Chrome!

I can vouch for turls rom also. Been using it for about 3 weeks now and have very little complaints.

The only thing that its keeping me from using CM9 right now is the lack of video camera recorder, other than that is working pretty nice.

EVO 4G, post the positives and the negatives

Hello all.
Let's post some positives of the EVO, and some negatives. Feel free to debate, and express opinions.
Try and structure it like this:
Positive(s):
-One of the most developed phones
Negative(s):
-Battery life typically sucks without some sort of extended battery
Rules:
-There really are none, say whatever you want, and if this thread gets closed, then it gets closed. lol :good:
I'll try to make this fair in reason that advancement in phones over time can set the evo back.
Pros
-First 4G wimax phone
-Digitizer upgraded to gorilla glass in HW revision.
-8MP/Dual LED flash
-HDMI port
Cons
-qsd8k (porting)
-shipped with froyo
-SDCard bay placement
-No Sense 2.0/2.1 update

Cleared the way for other phones to have huge screens.
Broke barrier for 4G.
It was a tank. I dropped it twice and no screen crack just a minor bump.
Lots of development.
Ability ton run pure android and sense variations.
CONS
Also somehow allowed for phone. companies to charger for "premium data".
Overly developed. I thank everyone for their attempts but the dev section is way over saturated.

Worth trade my LG Optimus 3D P920 for a Moto Atrix 4G?

Well, this is it.
Is it worth trade? I was thinking about use the webtop and try to buy a vehicle dock and lapdock for a better use of the phone... But seeing on another way I have an ipad 3 and its better than the docks for Atrix, I can just plug my iPad via hdmi on my TV and I get a better "webtop".
But I still getting it on my head, is it really worth? Maybe is just excitement now with the docks that Atrix have.
Sorry my bad english btw.

i dont really use the hdmi of the atrix but im excited to do so when i get my new tv. its a quite good phone and i hate lg but the screen quality is extremely bad (rgbw pentile matrix)... plus no 3D. the hardware is good enough, but the lack of official ics is not very positive

Looks like Optimus 3D will get official ICS...
So you think better keep my LG? Because it have the hdmi function as well, only not the webtop, but I really dont think it is that better when compare with my Ipad 3.
Hmm...not so sure. One thing that its actually better on the Atrix is the development support. Last time i checked when i was looking to root and update my friend's O3D, the development was kind of dead at the moment. Not so sure how it is now, but it usually slows down with time, so my guess its that it must be kind of dead right now. Atrix's development is not the best one, but its great. And the community here is great. If you are OK with not receiving official ICS, i would do the trade.
I would look for something better though. Maybe a Galaxy Nexus if you can find a deal for it.

The thing is that O3D community is kind waiting the ICS uptade... But I dont know, Im really confused about trade it.
Cause the O3D can not get the ICS and stuck on 2.3 forever, thats my fear, on the other hand In Atrix I would get enough custom roms as I can.
Any additional info would be appreciate!

Really man? Argh... I Just tough it was 1gb.
Now im really considering to trade it.
If I look at my Atrix here, I wouldn't choose it again. Honestly, I love the fingerprint scanner - and due to that + the chipset we're pretty stuck on gingerbread. A ton of apps do require ICS and JB and we're pretty stuck; Don't want to sound desperate or pessimistic, but even my P1 runs on JB by now - so I wouldn't swap if I were you.

LG Optimus 3D won't gonna get any ICS it appears... And the Atrix can use JB from custom roms right? So it won't be stuck forever.
If it was me I'd do the trade but I think you should look at other phones too maybe ones with ICS and JB support. But you should also look how active the development is. Luckily us atrix users have great developers

I don't have any other options, and for me... I use my phone to SMS, calls and a little bit web search, but I use alot the HDMI feature to see some movies on my girlfriend's house, so webtop would be cool too.
If I can upgrade, even from custom roms to JB or ICS Im going to be happy anyway, I dont need a powerful smartphone, only one which dont freezes and lags when im texting or awnsering an call like my old Moto Milestone (hate it).
Atrix can do all of them things perfectly and webtop on ICS is looking promising. Or you can use tablet ui which is quite good. If you have no other choice I'd recommend the atrix I'm running epinters latest CM10 build, the battery is great and it is a great daily driver would highly recommend that.

i have just gone from evo 3d to atrix 4g, my opinion the atrix is better ,great phone
It is just not funny to have more workarounds than features due to nvidia and Motorola
And also the lapdock is so useful, I can even plug my PC on it and use.
Atrix is really a good deal, Im going to make it if my friend still wants.

Lies. The ICS leak has semi-good drivers and FP support.
I also think that the Atrix is a better phone. Only issue with it is that the Atrix tends to damage the digitizer by itself. It happens suddenly. One day you are using your phone normally, 100% ok, and the next one you have a dead strip on your digitizer with no response at all. Look that issue up before you make the trade.

In some countries you cant buy an cheaper but better phone then S2, even with all his flaws.
Maybe an iphone 4,4s second hand.
Galaxy powered by GM and Dorimanx.
a second hand phone was an absolutely NO for me, it just ruins the purpose of getting a NEW phone
As for the issues, i'm stunned by the 5.1quality when i plug in my headphones (Leona Lewis ft Avicii - Collide was the first track i tried)
and that camera issue was a luck based issue just like the yellow tint on Xperia S.
The only worthy contender was the HTC One S, but in India it comes with a S3 processor instead of S4.. :thumbdown:

I would only consider sound quality terrible if I hear it sound terrible. It doesn't. Out of two options for judging a sound -- reading about it, or hearing it myself -- my choice is obvious. I personally find the S2 sound very good (not awesome, comparing to some other devices, but still very good). Sure, there are other people that don't like it -- I am fine with that, let them get another phone...
