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!!

I come from a HD2 with both android and WP7 installed.
i can honestly say that the Atrix is really good upgrade. the HD2 and HD7 are the samething just software wise is where the change happens. i would do it if i where you... i did actually.

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.

Im pretty sure someone could port it.. people have ported droid X rom to the Mytouch 4G lol. so why not other way around? eVil D probably could. I know they have their own skins, thats the point of porting though..

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.

yeah but think about how much other moto devices lagged with motoblur 2.1/2.2. the droid x did horrible, and it has the new moto blur now and it runs amazing, im sure this will run amazing as well with update.

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.
Just one to say good bye to you gys you were great comunity but the hd2 lack of android killed me so i sold it and got an iphone 4 wich rocks

I don't know what bugs you are talking about, but more than likely it is the roms. Limitations, then yes, I know of. e.g only 512 rom.
Good moved.
such a shame someone else leaves and buys them self an iphone 4, yeah and your point is??????

We hardly care that you went and bought an iphone 4.
The lack on Android, well firstly wrong there loads of Builds available, some have a few problems some have none at all so I cant really see your point here,
Secondly buy a Android Device if thats what you want.
The HD2 is probably the best device available, proven by the amount of work the hackers, programmers etc have put into this phone, they have slugged there guts out making things work that was never supposed to.
So have fun with your iphone locked down piece of poop.
Congratulations. You dumped a real smartphone and paid premium price for a outdated locked down app launcher. Multiple operating systems vs one boring operating system? Choice vs restriction? Bad move buddy

Lmao, there is no lack of android!
What is lacking is brain capacity = iPhone user!
There is MANY, MANY roms that work 99.9%. There is MANY, MANY roms that work 99.9% with simple tweaks/modifications.
The reason why you got your iPhone is because you dont have the mental ability or patience to learn. = iPhone user.
Congratulations on your Apple lobotomy, good riddens!
Wish I could find these "bugs" on ny phone but unfortunately my phone works perfectly, Perhaps it was something YOU did incorrectly.

tut..... my only regret is selling the hd2... i brought a htc desire z because of the keyboard and couldnt afford to keep the hd2 cus i needed the money .... but ill get one again because there just such a good phone.... people get so drawn in by the iphone... i just dont see why...
Mate I dont post much but I saw this post and I gotta say, that's the dumbest reason I've ever seen for a person getting rid of a HD2. It is probably the only phone out there which can run almost any ROM so smoothly cus of its high end hardware and also cus the amazing devs who cook really stable and smooth roms for it. This **** is legendary.
Worst decision. Have fun sucking on Steve Jobs' balls even for a thing as little as sending a file via Bluetooth
The phone was too good for you anyway. Have fun with your locked down communist piece of dookie

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.

Today is a sad day for me, I no longer own an HTC Legend. I've moved on to a Galaxy S II, so if you own one of those you'll probably see me around there before long.
If one's thanks meter is a measure of their "success" on XDA, then I owe 80% of mine to the Legend community. You guys are awesome. I've learnt everything I know about Android through owning the Legend, and through the guys that are part of this small community.
I'm not gonna milk this any more than I already have, so farewell Legend!
All my projects for this device are officially ending, as I don't own a device that I can test it on.
Good luck furthering your Android career! Your projects around this bend were ones I greatly appreciated, but everyone's time must come for this device.
Have fun with the SGSII!

Farwell, thank you for all your work here
It seems that we both switched devices the same day i got my hands on a almost brand new Nexus S and its awesome
But I will also miss my old legend
Goodbye! Thank you for all your contributions to the Legend Subforum
I can really understand you that you leave us because of the broken USB of your Legend.
I am also thinking about getting a new Phone, but I'm a student and my car also eats a lot of money And right now my Legend has only a few scratches, the Battery "backholding door" is a bit broken (one hinge is missing there, broke because it fell down from my desk) and the Flashlight LED is broken for some reason i don't know.
And it really sucks that i've got no S-OFF anymore...
Another reason for buying a new phone is that i noticed that my legend is really slow, even compared to my Girlfriends Galaxy Ace...
Tnx for everything.

Cost and time basically. They cost too much, and they're too difficult to find. I'd rather have a nexus, but the galaxy s2 is a good phone too. If my legend wasn't broken I'd have waited it out, but a broken phone forced my hand. I wouldn't get a Motorola because they're such a pain to hack, and I have no experience with the evo. The general impression I get is that it's pretty decent, but don't take my word on it.

I really like it. It's quite surprising how much faster than the Legend it is actually. I never felt that my Legend was particularly slow, so it was a bit of a shock. Lol
My situation was a bit unfortunate, and if my Legend was still working I'd have waited it out too. But hey, such is life. Development on the S2 is pretty active, so hopefully I'll be happy with it for a while. I miss my Legend though, the S2 forums are almost too active -_-
Just wanted to say that I'm done with the Legend to. Was/Is a great phone but time flies.
Thanks for all the knowledge I've gained from this forum and I'm hoping to see you guys in some other threads.

3 reasons ive been put off htc one.
1: Bootloader unlocked by htcdev? Dunno if there's an alternative yet, i haven't looked so there might be but if there isn't its definitely a no for me. I want full s-off not just a little bit of it.
2: No sd card, yes i know music and pictures load faster on internal memory but i want the choice of where i want to put things and the ability to expand when i fill it with all my failed mods!
3: Not able to remove the battery? Well thats just a silly idea unless the battery will last forever with seriously heavy usage, bare in mind i most days struggle to get 5 hours from my wildfire and have to take a spare battery everywhere.
Other than that the screen looks sh*thot but sadly not for me.........

1) well, i only modded wildfire because it was slow by default. i persume, a 1.5 dual core snapdragon s4 will do the trick. sp, maybe i wont even root it. if i do its gonna be when my warranty expires because im paying the full price for it.
2) i manage with 2gb sd card on my wildfire which is still half empty, i even have 512 mb ext... so thats about 1.2-1.3 gb pf usable space (you know memory is smaller than whats stated 2 gb ~ 1,8 gb) so thatll be fine, im not a smartphone gamer either so one memory hog less (im more of a playstation kinda guy)
3. battery can always be managed, i use my wildfire pretty much all the time on my almost 2 year old battery and i get day, day and a half of battery life, more when i use it less .
all in all, looks like one s is the one ive been waiting for
Perfect for you then, it really is an awesome phone, i managed to get my hands on one the other day for half hour, the screen looks amazing and its lightning fast after using a buzz for so long but for those reasons above i can't get one and am thinking/dreaming of an s3 if they'll give me one!

1: Bootloader unlocked by htcdev? Dunno if there's an alternative yet, i haven't looked so there might be but if there isn't its definitely a no for me. I want full s-off not just a little bit of it.
Other than that the screen looks sh*thot but sadly not for me.........

If you are looking for Proper Unlocked bootloaders and Dev Support, Samsung is not much better off from what I have seen so far. Apparently, everything is "hacky and dirty". There is no proper recovery partition, so even a CWM recovery has to be integrated into the kernel. You cant flash a recovery by itself. Also, no things like Fastboot. You have to depend on Samsung softwares like Odin.
Also, Samsung's coding is terrible from what the dev's have been saying. They use unstandardized coding techniques, and its a pain to reproduce the same features on AOSP / Other ROMs. The Galaxy S2 did not get a build of AOSP ICS till a leaked official GS2 ROM was out.
I agree on Point 2 and 3 though. They are great exit tools for when you mess up your phone. Think about it, when you experience a bootloop, what is the 1st thing that comes on your mind? A battery pull, obviously.
BTW, Dump the S3 and get the S2. With the price drop after the S3 was announced, this phone is now terrific VFM. Still nothing that can't be run on this device.

You are kidding, right?
J/k, anyway, excellent choice. I prefer the One S myself over the One X.
Thanks for the info 3, i hadn't really read much about Samsung coding either to tell the truth just saw the amount of dev support you guys have over there and presumed it must be slightly better, I know i'd probably love an sgs 2 coming from here but if the 3 ends up with as much support for it do i really want to be stuck in a 2 year contract and miss out on all the fun with a 2 knowing there's a 3 out there, just out of reach.
Decisions decisions............... Still my carrier might not give me one though so may be forced into a sgs2.

should i buy this phone .....guys
so far.
well ive had the phone for a few days and i have to say im loving it
the screen is sexy and silky smooth, and not to mention big enough ^^ from opening it it took me 7 minutes to s-off with revolutionary ive gotta say touch recoverys rock!!! they are themeable and everything, 4ext for the win lol
i have made the jump to ics in the form of the android revolution HD rom by mike1986 im missing the boot into recovery option from the the power off menu, but im hoping to find a work around for that being able to unlock with my face alone is epic and the download speeds im getting from giffgaff is very nice.
im very very pleased with this device atm and i would highly recommend it. and if **** hits the fan, you can always battery pull!
Good luck with your new phone
IMO the GS3 is terrible. All the fancy software is useless because I'll put CM9 on it as Touchwiz is absolutely disgusting. Their coding is terrible as 3xeno said and the UI is worse than Cupcake. The specs are mediocre, the AT&T One X's S4 chipset is better IMO. The screen is also mediocre, they made it 0.8 of an inch bigger than the One X to show off. And the rumours were so off, especially the 1080p screen. The nature lockscreen is a cool idea but the ripple effect is just too much time, especially when you just want to unlock the phone quickly and make a call.

well, of course ill root it, but not in the first month or so, i wanna try out everything before i [email protected] it up
thanks, and yeah, me too, i had the option of one x but i think 900€ is a bit too much as im buying off contract.
My contract ends next year, who knows what phone I'll want :/, s3 is ok, i love using odin, touchwiz idc about it. Htc and sense just annoys me lol. Maybe I'll wait for the next nexus.
