Welcome to a phone that actually works and gets updated. There are threads on how to get AT&T 4G cheap if and when you want to switch from that other carrier.

most perfect phone so far, sure it is...

ok guys, I think that we need such a thread cause I've noticed that everybody is posting negative threads on this device like it has only drops and mistakes.
I was a user of sgs (awesome phone)for a year, I've flashed it like hell to finally stick with cm7 which is awesome. However, even with the latest nightlies (which is a kick ass), I cant say that sgs+cm7 match the:
speed
reliability
stability
clarity (sound+image) + I miss voodoo here though
of my new sgs 2
I dont feel the same crave to root+flash the device .......yet cause it damn fasttttt by default, in fact i might root it for the advantages of having su control on it.
IMHO it is unnecessary upgrade but this device worths every single penny you pay for it

Now, the next problem is to get the games to run on the SGS2

Same here. My optimus 2x was really buggy. First one was DOA and the second one was laggy, with horrible phone call quality, backlight bleeding and useless GPS.
Belive me, o2x feels like a beta product if you compare it to sgs2.
the only thing better in lg is ergonomy and battery life.

I came from the SGS with all sorts of mods, but I've kept with stock firmware on the S2, it's just that good, the only change is using Launcher Pro instead of TW.

Soon it WILL, as of now it's just in development
anyhow after owning an ios device, Android could alot use more good games.
The SGS2 is awesome and all and Touchwiz 4 is finally something which can be bragged about but this whole Tegra thing and incompatibilities annoys me about android

I know coming from ios, I went from a 3gs to an ip4, all the games still worked only better graphics, but with android, you have completely different compatibility within the operation system due to the different graphics chips, this really does disjoint android gaming.
Developers shy away from android, because of this fragmentation, but then again with the new ip5 coming out older iphones will be left behind floundering in the realms of incompatibility. There really should not be so many, tegra, xperia play etc, why not simply have automatic recognition of what chip you are using and adjust graphics to suit.

I think the Desire Z is the better of the two phones (which is why I have it pre-ordered rather than the HD).

I sold my Nexus 1 month ago and i cant wait for this beastly phone mate... I was at the launch and it was fabulous))
I also tried the Z, it looks amazing but there was a problem with the optical trackpad, it wasnt at all responsive, and the HD very much stole the evening..
I cant wait until we get devvin' with this beast, and get CM on it ASAP

Now HOW can we get in contact with CM!?
cm have website with forum, so we cas ask there, but we should wait, all the last htc phone have vision of cm, so we can guess that the desire hd will not be so different.
btw: same hare, nexus one - sold DHD - in
When the desire HD is rooted someone will port CM to the Desire HD, As its a HTC phone it should be fairly easy in comparison to other devices such as Galaxy S.
We will just need ROOT and prefrably HTC to realese the kernel scource firly soon after realease.

I's not, though. Sure, it's a better choice for you if you want the physical keyboard, but that's really the only thing that's "better". Specs-wise the DHD is a better piece of hardware.

For people like me Desire HD is the only option.
Thing is, i can't deal with physical keyboards anymore.
Using Swype onscreen keyboard is 10 times faster.
I've gotten so used to it, nowadays i prefer onscreen keyboards.
You can buy SlideIt on androidmarket and see for yourself. (an alternative)

Riz what you have to understand is that there are guys who use there phone just for calling purposes, and there are guys who develop and utilise there phone to the maximum... I sold my Nexus a few months back and im eager to start devvin again Android is a way of life for a lot of people on here, so you do what you do, and we do what we do))
SGS is dead in the water now this beast is soon to drop... I played with a SGS last week and other than the pretty screen, its pretty average, maybe below average;(
JD
Really ?? I'm interested how you came to the conclusion the SGS is "average" ?
Sure the phone has some minor "hiccups" that I'm sure will be worked out once the Froyo final drops.

See ya later Samsung!!

Going to trade out my Vibrant tomorrow for a G2.
I can't stand the lack of support from Samsung, the stupid GSP, no accessories...

Lack of support? GPS issues? Umm they just came out with an update that basically got rid of all the lag and makes the GPS a lot better... Lack of support... yea...
They are actively testing Froyo also so that should be coming very soon. Good luck with that G2 though. I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

JI6 got me an initial satelite lock but once I was moving it was still horrible. I am really glad you all will be getting Froyo months after it has been available but Samsung chose to ship with an outdated OS.
This is the first phone I have ever owned that I literally hated. Even though the G2 isn't rootable ATM, I'll take an HTC on its worst day over any Samsung on its best day.

I like Samsungs hardware but the customer service SUCKS... My 2 friends got the update and both of them got stuck on vibrant logo (basicly bricked phones) this should not happen with a little simple maintenance fix. I can't imagine what the problems will be like with froyo. Look at HTC for example they updated their phones to 2.2 long ago with no problems.... Its all Samsungs fault, they're lazy to work on the updates..

[Q] Is this phone worth upgrading from the HD7?

I have a HD7 and im getting alittle bored of it, and the screen size is alittle too big. There is someone locally who wants my phone and $75. Im not sure if its worth it or not. i know it is hardware wise, but i heard the atrix lags alot compared to others xD Thanks.
the atrix is the fastest phone you will use ONCE you install another launcher. This would definitely be an upgrade.
The people complaining, are generally irked by the bootloader being locked (which will hopefully be fixed soon) and therefore are harder on the phone.

Yeah, thats what i heard. i actually kinda like motoblur (just cause looks) Id install sense on it asap though lol. i havent used android in a long time, since mytouch 4g was released and i just got annoyed of its problems. the new sense looks amazing though. my phone never lags "ever" because of how light wp7 is. just want something new thanks btw!

I returned the Atrix yesterday. I really liked it, very fast and an amazing battery, but I had issues with it. My main issue was voice quality. Every single person I spoke to had trouble hearing me. I also didn't like the camera, pictures didn't look good in my opinion. Also, had issues with gps not responding properly from time to time, but I think that was just an issue with my unit not all Atrix phones. Now I'm waiting a week or 2 to see if I get the Infuse 4G, that phone sounds sick!!

just because no one else caught it, you can't install sense on this phone. Sense is HTC's version of motoBlur. Since this is a motorola phone, no sense. you can make it look like sense by installing launcherPro and skinning it, but that's about it.

The infuse is a downgrade from the galaxy S 2. single core vs dual, and bigger screen which i dont want. why did you return your atrix?
If you got bored with your hd7 then you'll get bored of the Atrix really fast. Poor developement due to locked botloader makes for a very boring device. We're also totaly at motos mercy for fixing broken features wbich they' ve do.e a terrible job of so far. I' d trade my Atrix for an hd2 in a second.

Lets go over this once. Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz, they are not just skins. They are woven into the android build by the respective manufacturers. To port to this phone you would need the ability to flash custom roms, which you can't do on the atrix. Yes there are a few like gingerblur, but those really aren't custom, just tweaked and skinned. Until motorola unlocks the bootloader (don't hold your breath that the devs will ever figure it out), there is no hope. This is why you probably won't see MIUI either.
getting past that, has there ever been a sense port for a non-htc phone? No HTC phone has had the same hardware as the atrix, so i'm betting it's hard to impossible.
not trying to be an ass, just making sure you understand. This is an awesome phone, just don't come in expecting all the openness of old HTC phones.

[Off Topic] Is it a good deal

Hello XDA !
Today I have a choice, I can have a HTC HD2 for 115€ and I don't know if it's a good deal because HD2 is pretty old.

A friend of mine got one, it had Android pre-installed on it (second hand) and the hardware specs are pretty good, but I found the phone not that responsive considering the specs. Thats probably because it doesn't run Android natively I think, but it might just be just this situation.
Since its so cheap, I would really consider it
Okay thanks

The phone has a lot of development but I felt it is quite laggy....
I used it with Windows phone and it seemed to have bugged out something and was terribly laggy.....
When I used it with Android, it was a little bit better, but still laggy....
According to me, don't but it.
It's bad because I really like to have the possibility to switch beetween OS, but if it's laggy...no point to buy it

Yes it is but is it really a worthwhile upgrade? I think he should go for a better phone if he actually wants to upgrade or stick with the galaxy 3 as our devs have recently started working 10 times as hard to bring us awesome development such as MIUI, AOKP, G3MOD 3.1, the new Kyorakernel test version, CM7 the list goes on.
in fact the guy with the HD2 didn't contact me yet so i stay with my g3...

New Device:Suggestions?

Hello all,
I'm planning to get a new device.
Is nexus 4 good on hardware given that it's made by lg?
Should I buy htc one x+ or galaxy s3 instead?
What are your recommendations?
I can afford upto 30k or 550_600$.
HTC One costs around 43k,if you can afford that much then I would really recommend it.Nexus 4 would be a good choice too.
Oops I meant to say htc one x+

What you mean by hardware?
Build quality?
Yes
Then Slymobi must have something to say about it.Nexus 4 to me looks good,has a much better build quality than any of the Samsung devices.
I'd go for the N4. Purely because your getting a pure google handset, with new updates guaranteed (unlike HTC. Who sometimes cancel or don't even bother to update devices), you'll also get something that's easy to BL unlock, root and experiment with. And being a nexus device, I'm sure there would be a lot try out!

The build quality is just great! Just the speakers and the camera are not as good as the HTC one's. I had both phones One and Nexus and this glass look looks just so much better than the "plastic" from the HTC One X. And it's also easier to root than the HTC phone. It was a pain in the ass to root the One X and to flash ROMs on it. The Nexus is definitly the better choice also in relation to the money,
I'd get the nexus 4. I already have a nexus 4 and it is brilliant. It feels more premium than the galaxy s3 and the htc one x+. Plus it is easier to root and will have excellent developer support. You also get the newest updates from Google themselves.
I have the one x, great device, doesnt feel "cheap" at all, n4, while having more "premium" feeling also can break more easy so keep that in mind.
Also, hox is easy to root, dont know why is everyone saying its hard lol.

Also the latest Nokia lums is good and it doesn't cost a lot.

Ive seen it. Frankly Id prefer android!
The hardware of the N4 is amazing for the price. Fastest phone I've ever used for sure. For value/speed, nothing comes close.
The glass back is fragile so just make sure you purchase the right protection.
Jellybean 4.2 is so good you could use it without the need for rooting

Never happened to me...strange. I think the 4.2.2 update solved this issiue for the most people. I think that happens to maybe 1 of 1000 N4 devices. And if yours is affected you can send it back and order a new N4.
You can still choose the HOX its also a nice device and it has almost no bugs but its got that crappy Tegra processor which seems to be not very familiar with the android system itself and some Gameloft games.
