I've had my AT&T 3g Nexus One since July and loved it..... But, now i'm just becoming frustrated with it. I have been getting constant lags and freezes with it ever since the more recent Froyo updates (or maybe thats just when Ive been noticing it, I never used it with éclair). I'm running stock with launcher pro if that has anything to do with it, but the stock launcher seems so much more buggy. The screen also isnt very responsive and the buttons can be annoying at times. I'm having random moments where the touch screen goes all crazy and I can press the back button, menu button, home, etc all in the middle of the screen as well. I've been contemplating making the switch to a Desire or Captivate if Gingerbread doesn't help or fix these issues? I really don't want to make a switch because, i've spent over $125 in cases for it and definitely wont make or match my money...
Dont do it. At least not for the desire as its pretty much the same phone and even has the same pentile AMOLED, and the captivate has slow updates and community is nowhere near the N1s. If you are running stock then use your warranty and get the touch screen fixed.
i sold my brand new desire and frantically searched for a att nexus one lol. where were you last week!? hah.

Speed issues on a Nexus are software problems 99% of the time. Just root the phone and install a fast rom like CM 6 and it will be good as new.
Also btw, how are you on AT&T in London?

unlock, root, and put CM 6.1 RC1 on it. use ADW instead of lpro. format your sdcard, clear caches, and enjoy the speed again.
or
sell it and get an iphone. or wp7. or whatever. just get whatcha like.

I've never really considered rooting it because I never have time for all the phone customizations and ROM flashing. But, I might possibly try your suggestions
rooting makes a big difference. =) i got my used n1 and it was slow from the previous owner. after a root it has never looked back. =)

I also have the ATT n1. Since day one I had the phone rooted, unlock bootloader and fresh copy of the cm6. I never notice lag or reboot. My phone runs like butter. As long as you know what your doing, you should not have any problem with your n1. Even release of new nexus s I don't think I will replace it. I am just not really into Samsung. Prob hold out for HTC android phone.

What conditions is it in? Go on to Ebay and Craigs List and get some ideas.
When I was searching I see anywhere from $300 to $400 for "Good" and up to about $450 to $500 for "mint".
Keep in mind what one person think "mint" might not be another person's "mint"

You got that right
Just use the Nexus on EDGE- there is nothing on AT&T that compares. Unless you can put up with the disgrace to mobile phones that the iPhone 4 is.
Nah, my wife has their galaxy phone, captivate I think? It isnt horrid out of the box and with a little work it performs pretty well. I'll leave the materials out of it, they dont compare but since I put my phones in a case right off the bat I could care less as I never see them. Primary function that I would miss would be the trackball, forgot how much fun it was to try and edit text by attempting (over and over) to hit the sweet spot. Easier to just delete back to the mistake and start over from there. Still life could be a lot worse than to be stuck with that phone. Also over there is the x10 which has more downsides than the sammy piece but might be worth a look for the right person. These and the iphone are about the only handsets worth talking about for the moment.

I've never once used the N1 trackball to edit text. With practice you'll get REALLY good at hitting that sweet spot the first try. I only use the trackball for waking the device and color notifications. I had too many Blackberry trackballs get ruined by too much use to ever use my N1 trackball that way.
I admit I would miss the trackball, but in my case for the color notifications. I love coming back to my desk and knowing what is waiting just by looking at the trackball.
lol, yeah, maybe a young whipper snapper or crackberry user might find it easy but being old and pathetic I find it near impossible. I use the volume to wake as it appears to be the hard button with the least breakage reports. Considering that I seldom need to edit text and I use the trackball for nothing else I'm guessing mine might be around longer than yours.
I am gonna get flame for this but....
Iphone 4 is not half as bad you think. I have a n1 for my daily use. I dont think i will trade it in for a new device. However i was sick and tired of running my battery down by using it as my mp3 player so i picked up a ip4 to use as my music player. I was very surprised how smooth it runs. However the UI is plain and boring though. Maybe that was what apple was going for plain and boring. Android is very customizable. Make your own style.
Anways forgive me of this mumble jumble talk of ip4.
There is always a nexus one for att which i use. You can leave from n1 to att n1.

Sure, you're an android fanboy, we get it, but the iphone isn't 'that' bad.
Why do you have to switch if your dad switches that's my question.
As for the N1's ... I'd never sell them... too valuble atm. Go for high price
Yeah, you don't have to sell your Nexus Ones.
You use them on ATT with Edge, and in the mean time you keep searching craigslist and posting ads in other places wanting to trade your TMobile Nexus One for someone who has a ATT Nexus one.
Easy as pie. I've done that, my friend has done that. Sure N1's, especially ATT ones are hard to find, but just keep looking. It's a phone that has no equal, it's worth it.
You can also try to trade with someone with the AT&T version N1. Try searching for it on craigslist.
I just traded a captivate for a Att nexus one. They are rare and it took me a month or more to find one

Just find someone to trade Tmo version for AT&T version. I may be switching carriers with two of my lines. Not sure if Tmo is the carrier I'm choosing yet though. If a decision is made soon I will let you know.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
If you can't find an AT&T-compatible N1, try finding an unlocked Telus HTC Desire. It's largely the same hardware, and if you don't want Sense you can flash Cyanogen or OpenDesire.
Maybe I'm just a glass half full kinda guy but at least with att your phone will work in buildings and between cities and they do have decent androids unlike when they just had the backflip or whatever it was called. The sgs is definitely stellar and I thought there was an att compatible nexus (not just the tmo one on E)

You've got that right, deleting and starting over is really frustrating but less so than tapping my screen for five minutes. I wonder what the testers did that worked so well that the SGS got past design and all the way to stores like that

I dont have an EVO, but I saw this on CL
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mob/2241065529.html
If your reading this then you must have an EVO. And if you do you already know the battery life is the worst!!! I dies in about 4 or 5 hrs without even using it. Yea mine did that too.....at first.
First you have to root your phone. If your not rooted i can do that too. For extra of course! Then once i drop my addition on your phone you'll have a battery that lasts all day. You think im joking right? Look at the pictures.
**The first pic is of the screen i root your phone on!!**
**The second picture shows at the top when i last plugged my phone in....YES that DOES say over 16 HOURS since i last charged my phone!!! Dont believe me I'll show you on my own phone!!!
**The third is of the wifi screen your gonna use...you can use the internet off your phone on a laptop, ipad or whatever....
**The fourth pic is of me deleting the crap sprint apps wasting memory on my phone!!
....And yes i can make it happen on yours!! By the way I've got many more tricks i can show you if your interested...changing ROMs/operating systems & the whole 9 yards!!
Ok here's a quick off the top of my head list of things I can do. Hopefully I don't forget anything.
1. Root the phone. <<--You cant do anything w/o this $15
2. Do a full Nand unlock. You cant do wifi unless the security/ NAND is unlocked. <<--$5
3. WiFi tether. Can make the phone a hotspot so you dont have to pay sprint for it. Sprint charges $10 a month. <<-- Hit me with $10 and its yours. Dont pay sprint $10 a month
4. Change the way the phone looks. Colors, functions, home screens...everything
5. Change to the ROM of your choice. Like different operating systems. <<--#4 & #5 go together im flexible on this. Make me an offer
6. Change the kernel. Improve performance & battery functions. <<--$10 this is what makes your battery last wayyyyyy longer
7. Set processor speed. Overclock = make it faster. Underclock = slow things down...better battery life. <<--You either get #6 or #7 not both.
8. Backup all your contacts & apps forever & delete sprint apps <--$5 this is easy
9. Backup your entire system forever. <<--$5 this is easy
10. Show you how to get paid apps for free. <<--$5
I can also do any new android phone. Tmobile mytouch 4g's, Samsung EPIC's, Droid's and a bunch more....
I know I'm forgetting something. Email me when your ready. It goes straight to my phone. I'll answer immediately.
Damn lmao what a joke.. ...
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Wow what a rip off.
Everything he describes is just normal rooting and flashing. Takes an hour to do. Sounds like he just installs sprintlovers and netarchy and charges you out the ass

How do you get paid apps for free? Archive and refund within the 15 mins? Is that really his 'trick'?

Yea, I can't say I haven't thought of making an ad myself. If people are to lazy to Google something or feel like this is too hard, why not make a few dollars off of them?
I don't see anything wrong. He's just charging for labor and believe it or not but some people don't want to learn how to do it themselves. You have people who go to car washes in the summer because they are too lazy to do it themselves. You have fast food joints for people too lazy to fix themselves a meal.
That's life. The point I'm trying to make is people don't have time.
last summer i made thousands under the table rooting/unlocking phones for $30 a pop.

nope, i had a no refund policy, even if their phone bricked.
I'm too lazy to do an ad. I thought about it but don't want to have to deal with the people complaining. The best thing if you are going to do it is to meet them somewhere and fix it instead of having them come over your place (retarded idea).
I do this myself... I've made over $100 on a 2-3 span of doing this. My ad is old now and expired, haven't started a new one. Old customers still refer people to me though
I see nothing wrong with this at all, and have been contemplating putting an ad up as a matter of fact. I'm out of work for a few months due to medical reasons, and could definitely use a little extra cash. I'd root evo's all day long for 25 to 30 bucks each. If someone wants their phone rooted for things like tethering and what not, but doesn't have the know-how or the interest in learning, but is willing to spend a little cash to have it done, I see nothing wrong with that at all. They would likely be the one's searching craigslist for something specific like that, which obviously means they are willing to pay for it. I think this thread motivated me even more to do it. I have all the time in the world these days.
Yea I kind dont see it being wrong, you're spending and effort = money. Otherwise the EVO owner would not know about it.
Maybe its just me but im not as impressed with my Atrix as i thought i would be. Before this i had a Nexus one and it seemed like it was much faster than the Atrix it just seems like its always lagging a little bit, i can really tell it when i unlock it because it will randomly stop before im done swiping my code. (if that makes since, hard to explain) I would use the Finger Print scanner but that took about 6 times to finally unlock the phone. Last but not least the flash light on the back. I use to use it all the time but now it doesn't work half the time. It will start flashing and dim untill it finally goes dead and doesnt work. It has like a yellow tint to it to. (not sure if that's normal)
Also the dock was a waist of 80$ Its not worth but maybe 10$ I cant even sync the phone up to the computer in it.
I am pretty much in love with mine... No lag, no random restarts, no troubles from the flash, zero problems. I am rooted and using GingerBlur 4.5 ATM. Maybe try modding it some.
i think we need a separate sub-forum for unhappy users. that way I dont have to read them
I think the Atrix is GREAT. I have owned it for a few months and at the same time bought and returned the HTC Inspire, SGS2 and the HTC Sensation. It beat them ALL IMHO. especially in battery life, sound quality and loudness, and general ability to run anything I install without a hitch. It is fast but not over-tuned (and lacking torque when it matters). For example, I play a lot of video and onyl the Atrix plays everything without a stutter. OK its camera isnt as good as SGS2, but its good enough. I like its screen the most of all the devices (its the birghtest, especially whites). Its the only device I feel I can rely on for an entire day without being near a battery charger.

..And the towers are too far apart and it doesn't play the song I want and one of the guys at the att store smells funny. Also Im on XDA but I'm not too sure how to search or ask questions so I guess I will rant.
As has bene documented countless times in this forum, the hardware is being suffocated by the software. That's why everyone anxiously awaits the bypassing of the bootloader, loading custom kernels and ROMs, and why many people are pressuring Motorola to set their phone free. Motorola promises late 2011, but some people have different timelines to take matters into their own hands.
No, mine is fast and has no lag.
Getting faster the more crap I put on it.

Exactly what goes through my mind when I see responses like that.
I'm in the same boat as you Sanbourne. Been having a lot of problems with my Atrix and I'm just about ready to get rid of it
I have used many phones, and I mean MANY. The atrix is the only phone that has finally made me say, wow. I don't see the problems your having and maybe the fact that its an assembly line phone you might need to replace it. I run 3d graphics without a hitch. Screen scrolling and unlocking is smooth as butter. Not to mention call quality, speaker, display, etc... It is by far a beast of a device. I have packed almost 40gb of info into this thing, have over 80 apps, including games, productivity and more. I am probably at any given time running 15 or more processes in the background and still, it takes it with no problem. These are phones here, and in a world where we rely less on what they do and more on how they do it and how they look we seem to forget that nothing comes close to what this phone has achieved in a power user standpoint. Keep that all in mind when you think the atrix isn't that great or impressive. Its your personal workhorse, its not a "pretty" phone or a "wow look at that phone!" its a, "nope, leave the laptop, I have everything I need right here"
I'm so tired of people *****ing about there phone. If I don't like it take it back. I love mine....fast as hell....tons of features..

Same here and with Citrix Xen Desktop and the lapdock I can run a Windows XP session and use Excel/Word and all my other office software....
I don't understand about the flashlight...although I have read that some apps can burn out the led on a phone. Maybe you should take it in under warranty.
On the keypad..there is a delay if you are in the process of rebooting your phone. Otherwise entering the code is instantaneous. Fingerprint reader may take me two times..
Ive owned a moto backflip and htc aria before getting this phone and in my opinion, it feels like a better version of the motorola backflip

I'm pretty sure you're the troll. If you don't like the content of the thread (or can already tell you won't by reading the title), exercise some god damn willpower and DON'T REPLY. You're wasting everyone's time.
I came from a Vodafone UK Iphone 4 and got back to the states...I picked up the atrix after a BUNCH of research. I am really happy with it. So much I really havent even paid attention to upcoming phones.(thats how I gauge how much i really like a phone). it is kinda like being happy with your woman enough not to notice all the others out there.
The other thing to keep in mind is the version of Android isnt even supporting ALL that this phone can do. So it really is future proof for a while. Gingerblur has made things smooth as can possibly be also.
give it some time bro
OP, I disagree with you. I recently baught a nexus one for my wife, $270 brand new. Although I love its build quality, my Atrix is MUCH faster (with Go launcher EX). And yes, even the Nexus one with its 1 Ghz CPU lags after a day of use.

Live Wallpaper is laggy (with launcher pro or motoblur), the screen takes forever to turn on, it seems every other previous flagship device is getting updates (It's pissing me off!)...
Next time I'm definitely going with HTC, if I can't find a good HTC I'll opt for samsung, but never again for Motorola. Or AT&T for that fact.
I have a Desire HD in mint condition! Only used for 5 months!
Now in my country it costs 440$ new without warranty!
I bought it used for 4 months (i.e. a month ago) only with warranty for 440$, so now there remains 7 months of warranty!
I have an opportunity to sell it with the warranty and it's cover and screen protection for 480$!
Now A new SGS2 here in my country costs now 650$ without warranty!
I have an opportunity to buy a used one for 1 week only, still in mint condition for 580$!
So should i sell the DHD for 480$ and pay 100$ to get that SGS2!?!?
What would you do?!?
PS: I'm a bit hesitant only about the user interface... I like and i'm used to the Sense and Touchwiz doesn't have a good feedback...
Please help me!
You're not restricted to TouchWiz. I'm not keen on that myself and have both the SGS2 and a Galaxy Tab. Have a play with some of the other launchers available on the market to see if you'd be happy to move from Sense to them. In fairness, there's not much in it except the widgets that each launcher specifically has.
I'd strongly recommend trying Go Launcher, Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher. They're just my recommendations - there's others available.
If you decide you can work with one of the other launchers then DEFINITELY get the phone. You really won't regret it!
The DHD is a great phone, but the SGS2 is the greatest*!
*at the time of writing
go for the SGS2,,,,there is no other handset that can be compared to this beast,yet,,,and if u dont like touchwiz,,get some other launcher,,,,Launcher Pro is my fav...but of course u have alot of other choices.....just check the handset before buying if it is in a good condition and that it has no dead pixels,,,,
u can check that by Samsung's test menu(*#1234#) cuz i dont know why would some1 want to sell this phone...

Thanks bro! (I still remember ur name, maybe you had someday the HD2 like i did?!?)
Yes i think i can live with Launcher pro plus coz i used to use it on the HD2 with non-sense rom!
Let me ask you some questions about the SGS2/touchwiz, these are my main concerns:
-What about facebook and twitter integration in the contacts, sms and all the system... Is it close to what sense gives you?!
-Does it have smart dialing?!?
-Can you "colorize" a bit the user interface?! I mean contacts and the call screen look so colorless, like black only... I know that sense is not that big issue but it gives u effects and colors along with some beautiful widgets and apps (friendstream, HTC hub...)

Yes you're right thanks bro!
He said that he has a MAC at home and that SGS2 doesn't have a good connection features with MAC (sync or other...) and he showed me his iPhone 4 to prove me that he just bought it instead of the SGS2 and he wants to sell it!

Yes mate - I had a HD2 as well and was quite active on the forums because they were so busy!

I've got full integration of Facebook and Twitter into my contacts list, so I really can't complain there.
Smart dialing works about 90% as well as any smart dialing I've seen. The only difference is that if you type "john" then it will bring up all the people who's name begins with "john". Other dialers I've seen would also bring up names that contain "john". That's the only negative thing I've seen about it though.
To change the user interface, you can either go off the modding threads here or use one of the launchers that has themeing (theming?) or skinning included. I use Go Launcher and there's tons of themes available for that. You just download them and apply them in the launcher preferences.
I'd say that most launchers are more configurable than Sense, so I really don't think you're going to miss much. With the extra speed and loveliness that comes with the SGS2 I can't see any reason not to do it!
Why are you wasting time again. Go to SGS2. You will regret why you delayed so much, eating time with HD2. I'm a shop owner.The number of people that bought this phone because they saw it with me is incredible. They are now asking themselves how possible is it that they never knew about the SGS2. One even refused to let people touch his phone because he was afraid others may not handle it carefully. Thats the love we found with this beast. Get going mate....

btw the new touchwiz on the s2 is not bad, in fact it's very good, you will not love it, but it will do what it is supposed to do without the lag.
Problem is as posted on this forum multiple times HTC owners buy a phone without Sense then repeatedly ask for Sense on the forum .
Might be that as a Sense user you have difficulty with another like TW .
I would check the phone out in your hand first as to how you would cope if you where Senseless .
jje
Ok guys so i'very checked the S2 that I'm willing to buy and found out that I can live with some minor issues like yellowish tints and such stuff.
After that I cleared ny mind about hardware issues, software issues pop again!
I've been reading a bit about battery performance and the Android OS battery consumption issue!
Is it bad on all devices?! I've read that it might be related to WiFi and that is critical to me!
I am connected to WiFi always at home!
Please guys I need some feedback!
