Hi Everyone!!!
I'm not sure if this kind of thread is well received here in XDA, but I enjoy them in some of the other Android forums I'm a member of (to those who recognize my name ). Hopefully it's well received, lol Else I'd feel really lonely in here
Introduce yourself; say as much or as little as you want. Just some basic stuff you should cover like when you discovered Android and your phone history. Also, when you got the Atrix and what model you have (AT&T or Bell). If you've got the Bell version, what carrier you're on. If you live overseas and got the AT&T Atrix shipped to you, state that too! If you're a member in any other Android forums, then tell us which ones they are! I've made a poll for thos that don't want to post in my thread (please do) and I included 'Europe Atrix' (don't know if it's to a specific carrier) so those that buy it can also vote when it's release (gotta have all of my base cover ) If you got any of the docks, please state which one.
I'll start off first!
The name is Roze...but someone took it...so it's -Roze- here I joined XDA last year, but I've been mostly a lurker. I only come here for technical support that I couldn't get in the Android Forums or they direct me to a thread here XD
I got into Android end of 2009 and got my first Android phone in March 2010 I wanted my first Android experience to be the best experience ever, so I got the AT&T Nexus One! Love that little fellow until I lost it in December 2010. I've been waiting for an AT&T Nexus S but when Moto announced the Atrix at the MWC, I knew this was the phone for me. I felt the Atrix is what the Nexus S should have been. I just got the Bell's Atrix a couple of days it was released (last week). I have it unlocked and rocking it on Rogers (ewww). One thing the Atrix doesn't give me is vanilla Android out of the box, so I will be rooting my dear Artie. Yes...my Atrix has a name Since I'm going to root, I have become a bit more active here. I’ve joined an array of Android forums but the two that I frequent are Android Forums and this one. I only got the Atrix sans docks since I have no need/use for them. And by my posting style, you can guess if I’m an XX or an XY
Oh I forgot to say: I LOVE MY ATRIX! I LOVE MY ATRIX! I LOVE MY ATRIX! I LOVE MY ATRIX! I LOVE MY ATRIX!
Don't mind me if I ask a lot of silly questions. I usually do a lot of research before I post but I have a memory of a gold fish, so it sucks. lol. Just direct me to the threads if it's already been answered
Phone history:
Lg Vu (8 months-Lost)
Sony Erricson something (4 months - temp)
Nexus One (8 months - Lost)
Black Berry something (4 months - temp)
Atrix (now - hopefully I won't lose it...)
^--Notice my little trend in phones
*thinks* I think that's all I have to say
Can't wait to hear everyone's introductions!
Cheers,

YO what's up, i like the idea of creating this thread, sorta brings some type of fun to the forum(not saying that their's not any already), well everybody calls me "Giz" short for Giizmo(yea i spell it with 2 I's lol), but i've bee with android since the G1 first came out, before that i had the Rokr(i loved that phone), blackberry pearl, blackjack, sidekick id, sidekick 3, sidekick LX(yea i was a sidekick fan), the W550i Walkman(that phone was sick!), the Touch Pro 2(great device, horrible software), the HTC Aria(still have it, great stable device), and now THE ATRIX(love it!), i had a few other devices just don't remember the exact names of them.
I been on this forum for a long time, i've tried a few others with different devices but this one seem to have the largest functioning community, i love xda they've helped me when i first started learning about android and continue to this day. I've learned so much to where i've helped out so many friends with their devices, and we've had so many great times on this site, a lot of hilarious moments and i'm sure more are to come. but i'm proud to be a long time member of xda, and once i learn to make themes i'll definitly start contributing to the site, then i'll start learning how to make roms(which may take some time, but it'll be worth it)
ummmmm idk what else to say lol, if there's something i missed let me kno haha........have a great day!
Jsut wanted to take the time to say hi. I've been using android since the g1.
There was a time where I had jumped ship to the iphone. I ditched my iphone 4 the atrix. Its unbelievable how much android has changed. I love the phone and I can't wait to get invoked worth the community again!

Hey Hey!
I want to say hey and hope this community continues to get stronger! I jumped from the iPhone 4 to the Atrix. The Atrix is my first Android phone. I'm loving the immense amount of customization I can do on it. I just wish AT&T would open up non-market sources (I know they're planning to allow Amazon Appstore, but I want to install APKs via email, etc).
I look forward to more in-depth forum activity for the Atrix and wish to thank all the developers making things easy for us (rooting, ROMs, etc).
Well guess since I voted I should say Hi as well.
I have been on XDA for almost 5 years now. History of phones is as follows: Treo 700wx, HTC Touch, HTC Legend, Blackberry Tourch, and now my Atrix.
The last 3 I had all at once for a week. Really liked my Legend, hated the Torch and now loving my Atrix.
Hello, name is Shawn but friends call me stumpy(lost a foot to a train when I was a kid) I just joined xda today and I bought my bell Atrix a few days ago to replace the IPhone 3GS that I was beginning to loathe . Looking forward to going through here and finding some fun stuff to do with my Atrix.
Last few phones were Blackberry pearl, Samsung Instinct, iPhone 3GS, ATRIX!
Sweet! People responded!

Seems like XDA also has its 'playful' side, something that I haven't seen a lot of, lol. That's good I was fearing that this thread is too out there for most people and noone would respond to it.
Good luck with creating themes! If you make 'em good, you'll see me sporting 'em on my Atrix

Great to hear that you're loving both Android and the Atrix. I've notice that a few iPhone users find it quite hard to transition to Android and eventually return to their beloved iPhones. The developers here are AWSOME!!! Best place to find the best developers!! And it looks like you're planning to root?

Welcome to XDA!!! I hope you love your Atrix as I love mine! There's a lot that you can do with it that you can't with an iPhone!
>_< @ the train comment :< Sorry to hear about the foot.
What the heck, I'll bite. They call me dOc, I'm from Philadelphia and have been on xda I guess 2 years or so. I came here for the ROMs and mods for my AT&T Fuze (HTC Touch Pro) which was a great device that I just grew out of. (Now it kinda makes for a decent wireless touchpad/keyboard for the webtop, for the time being)
This is my first proper Android phone, having used XDAndroid on my Fuze and two pandigital e-readers that I put full android packages onto to get my feet wet. I must say that I am very glad I made the move but that it was only because of Windoze Phone 7 being so locked down that I went with the OS at all.
Loving the Atrix and I will be around for the duration. I am also interested in learning some Android development so I'll be learning that on the side and hopefully able to contribute at some point.
I usually don't post that often (I'm an avid searcher) but will when I really have something to offer or a serious question.
I am also on Androidforums, Atrixforums and Motorola owners forums and have seen you around Roze.
Hey Roze! Congrats on finally getting your Atrix!
I'm Marc, I have been a faithful Android user since the Original Droid came out, however i took a week long break with the Iphone when i started working for AT&T. Lucky for me the Aria came out with in the week so I returned the Iphone for it, then sold that, got the captivate, went to wp7 for a while, and then gave the dell streak a chance....tried the inspire, and here I am with the Atrix.
I'm looking forward for gingerblur RC1 !!!
oh and i work for AT&T, and yes, HSUPA is disabled although some of my superiors will beg to differ

Already rooted Probably going to unroot (and possibly factory reset) for the coming update as I expect having it rooted could cause problems when updating. I'm an Adobe Flex developer and love that I can program for this device with very little effort. I make no promises not to return to the iPhone, but Apple has to come out with a phenomenal update with the iPhone 5 for me to want to switch back anytime soon.
I've only been using Android about a year now. Before I was a longtime WM user ( Early 2008- Late 2010). I'm normally not in these "serious" parts of the forum, I prefer off-topic and all its random, silly, nonsense but i'm taking a short leave of absence from it and my Team Llama empire. Click the pic in my sig to join (although we've been dead since I temporarily left in Jan.)
My device history
]• LG Incite (1 year used, still own)
• HTC Fuze (3 weeks used, sold)
• HTC Tilt 2 (1 month used, sold)
• HTC HD2 (2 weeks used, returned)
• Nexus One (6 months used, sold)
• Nexus S (1 month used, returned)
• Palm Pixi Plus (1 week used, still own)
• HTC Aria (1 month used, still own)
• Motorola Atrix 4G (currently using as main phone)
• HTC Surround (2 weeks used, broke, sold)
• Samsung Captivate (Got today)
What's going on everyone. I've been with xda since 2007 (well that's at least when i decided to join) because of the windows mobile devices I had and wanted to tinker with.
I am a mod at CrackBerry.com and have been a mod for Android Central around the time the Nexus One came out for AT&T. I started having lots of multi-touch issues with the Nexus One, so my Android activity went down.
I'm a phone whore and just like having new gadgets all the time. My current phones are:
Atrix 4G, iPhone 4, BlackBerry 9700 (should be getting my Torch back shortly), Samsung Focus and a Palm Pre. I just sold my Nexus One about 2-3 weeks ago and felt I needed a new Android device and the Atrix was the perfect device to do it.
I would name my previous smartphones, but the only ones I probably haven't had were Verizon ones (aside from the Storm 1).
Since I was on AT&T, there weren't many (actually no) android options in the beginning and when I heard about the "Google" phone, I waited and sure enough, the Nexus One was announced. The Atrix is only my second Android device as I've never been interested in many of the Android options from AT&T aside from the Nexus One and now the Atrix.
I do love the Atrix and have since made it my daily driver. Very unexpected and I'm loving it. I ordered an extra battery and media dock and should be here tomorrow (technically, later today... ha). I really don't need the battery as I'm getting 15 hours of usage and my battery is usually around 30%. I have not done any battery saving tricks (lowering the brightness, task managers, etc...) and this is very important to me as I like to use my device as is (the way I fell in love with it) and not having to adjust to less.
I have a son that will be 5 years old in June and realized I was addicted when at 3, he asked me why I had so many phones. Haha.
That's all for now. I'll probably use Tapatalk to post more.
hi, I bought one...and receive it today ...now I need unlock code xD
from portugal
From Sweden as you can figure out by looking a bit to the left. 28 years of age and currently studying logistics. I've been working for some years now at a job that payed very well but got me traveling around 100 days a year. I'm now aiming at settling down and all that crap.
Bought my Atrix two weeks ago and loving it. Owned a Magic, Acer Liquid and a X8 before this one. This kicks all their asses simultaneously!
I've got the AT&T model purchased through Amazon and Bonderlinx.

Hi.
S1MPD1DDY. For those of you who don't know, my name is a play on P-Diddy (who is now just Diddy, or.. whatever he is now). First time android user. I joined XDA when I got the Atrix last month. Great phone.
Device history:
iPhone 3G (2 of them, 2 years)
iPhone 3GS (1, 1 year)
Atrix (now, one month)
I kind of want to pick up another android phone now... maybe if I can find a cheap old ATT nexus one somewhere. I reaaallllyyy liked that phone. All my buddies had one, and the form factor on it was/is slick.

i just sold n1 for for pretty cheap... $250, but added $20 as it was out of country. i actually got a brand new replacement through HTC and the user got a fresh phone. looking at what people are still selling them for, i know i could have gotten a lot more. a couple of developers had emailed me after the sale and were willing to pay more.

what website did you use to sell it? Ebay?
First ATRIX in Portugal !?!
Probably. But first of all a big "Hello" to all of you in the xdadevelopers forum. Already before I bought my ATRIX last Friday in FT-Lauderdale, I followed the Android related threads during the last months here in the forum. Very interesting and informative.
When Android came on the stage, I was sure to buy one. I hate everything running Windoz, I like the look & feel of Apple but not the restrictions (iTunes etc.) and I love everything running Linux. Last Christmas I nearly bought a HTC, but when I heard about the Motorola ATRIX I was sure this will be the device which will replace my 8 year old Samsung (still working fine).
The last two months I was in US / Caribbean (for working ;-) so I thought to buy one in Florida. This was really difficult. Only end of February the first ones were available ... ... with a two years contract. The one without plan, you could not get because there was (is) a huge demand for this smartphone and only very few phones in stock. At least last Friday I could get one at Radio Shack in FT-Lauderdale. 599,- USD and of course blocked for AT&T. I took the risk, bought it and ordered the unblock code at CellUnlock.net.
Yesterday I got the code, swapped the Sim card to my Optimus one, rebooted the phone, entered the Unlock code and ...
... everything working perfect !!!
Hi, my name is irus and I am a dualcoreaholic
So, back in 2010, my wife and I were looking for new phones to buy. I had a Nokia E71 while hers was an outdated SE feature phone, and she desperately needed a smartphone to keep track of her emails. She was hell bent on getting a Blackberry. I tried reasoning with her, and she finally agreed not to get a blackberry, but then she started insisting on getting a Nokia instead. This was around Valentine's Day in 2010, I tried telling her that some great Android Phones are about to be launched, she should wait, or better still get an iPhone.
The sad state of affairs in India in Feb 2010 was such that Apple were releasing the previous year's iPhone model (3GS I think) a month before the new model was announced. I could not let her buy an outdated iPhone for INR 36,000 when she could get the latest Nokia N97 Mini for INR 24,000. I still implored her to wait for newer Android phones.
She decided she couldn't wait and she got an N97 Mini for Valentine's Day . I must say I was also interested in some Symbian devices at the time, but I kept telling myself that I could make the E71 last a few more months and make a call when the newer Androids were released.
Finally i9000 released in July 2010, and I heard the world going crazy over the internet. I still kept waiting, and I finally decided that I needed to make sure that this phone would be future proof like the HD2.
The clincher for me was XDA. I saw so many people boasting of updated i9000 ROMs for each android release that I finally purchased my own i9000 on 11/11/10.
Not disappointed at all. Have you seen the number of JB ports available for i9000? Tell me one phone that was released at the same time and has such brilliant community support. All I can say is, my brother's Desire HD cannot find even a single decent ICS ROM.
Thats right we are awesome. We know
I agree with the great community support. Yet, maybe we are also lucky because it is very much close with Nexus.
Yeah I switched from my N8 to an i9000 a couple months back and haven't looked back. I was bored of modding Symbian^3 it was just so locked down... almost why I couldn't live with an iPhone, they're great devices stock but Android devices are great stock but with heeeuuugeeeee potential.
Go open source as much as you can
I'm always motivated to the open source devices and software
I bought it during the release years ago and I'm still checking these forums everyday looking for something new.
It's still working like a charm and I love it! Thanks for the great community developing roms!

Don't get me wrong im not saying bigger isn't better LOL!! but a phone is a phone and a tablet is a tablet. So what next the gs4 will be a 42 Inch LCD?
I got mine about 1 1/1 year ago, but was a bit bored and anoyed by all the samsung and telco stuff

What did I say ?
Had my i9000 for about a year and a half.
Don't regret it in the slightest. If my device makes it to 3 years old I'll still be using it as my main phone.
Well guys, our device isn't getting any younger, and many of us have got new devices. In order to keep the forums cleaner this thread is meant for saying goodbye.
I've got a Nexus S, but I still have GT540 lying around, I just want to say thanks to our devs for making our device such a wonderful and interesting experience, also I want to thank everyone who helped me and answered my mostly stupid questions. I'll still visit GT540 forums but probably less often.
Again, thanks everybody!!!

I want to say thanks to everybody developing and testing and contributing and spamming :cyclops: big thanks goes to grift and our developers, especially miroslav, your awesome work made my phone usable. I'll continue using your ROMs, they're the best.
You guys can always contact me and i'll always visit this forum!

Goodbye too
I say goodbye to the community GT540 too. I bought a Galaxy S i9000. So thanks to all the developers who keep this device alive.
I didnt want to create a new topic, so I wrote it here
hi guys,
bought a LG Optimus 2x ...
last rom i flashed to gt540 was miro's last AOSP because there is no need for swap (and an sd-card) and its stable and fast...
But know he has also left so its time to change ...
I'll randomly look into this forum, but for now I'll molest the devs in Optimus 2x-Thread
Goodbye!!!
Bye man
i got my HTC One V a few months ago. just gave my GT540 away to charity (screen was broken for the 4th time anyways , and couldnt get the motivation to fix it) still look in these forums from time to time, for nostalgia purposes i guess goodbye to you all and it's been a great 3 years
After a long time away i decided to stop in here for a while. The gt540 was my first android phone, in fact it was my first smart phone. Since then i have had galaxy s, galaxy s2, desire hd, hd2, iphone 4, 4s and 5.... In no particular order.
Learning how to root and install roms were all part of the fun and learning. It was great being part of this community.
And now i must say..... Goodbye
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Goodbye if you have a little time give this old thread a short stroll
Farewell dear friends, I changed my phone with a clone dell'S3, I had fun with you and hope to meet again one day. With some of you there have been controversies, but I love you and I appreciate the work you have done for this phone, I will not forget! Thanks for everything .. bye!
Hi everybody,
I'm sorry to say bye to you guys because you've all been so awesome ever since I stumbled across XDA over 3 years ago.
I've had my good 'ol faithful DHD since (one week after) launch day and thanks to all you committed dev's here it's become much more awesome since!
But... I'm sorry to say that it'll now probably become relegated to the sock drawer, also I'll probably not be using XDA much now because my next phone is a.... Windows Phone! :crying:
Yes, that cry is justified! I've gotten hold of a brand new HTC 8X for the princely sum of £0.00 (which to my friends across the pond is FREE!) so I'll probably not have much reason to visit not only these forums but interact with society a whole anyway - because as we all know, WP cant do anything.
It's sad to go now guys & gals and I wish there was some way to thank-nuke all the amazing dev's past and present which have all rallied together for this amazing little device, you have all made it an amazingly friendly community all bound by the weirdest passion we all share - tinkering with a little (big) 4.3" HTC android phone built in 2010 - but to me at least, and I assume many more, our DHD's were more than just a phone. It was our own personal wee android butler. :laugh:
BYE!

Hello everyone !!!
As Our phone is getting older and older the world is moving on so is the smartphone world.
lets cut to the chase here.
Let this thread be a Thread where everyone can say a goodbye to one of the best sub-forums in XDA.
With truly redefining developers our phone have came a long way.
But now or some times later everyone will start falling apart.so at least here they can say Good bye and be thankful to those developers.
Let Me start this First
Thank you everyone in this lovely galaxy 3 forum.
sadly its time up for me here. but i'll be here of course to visit all the threads as i can't just forget getting into galaxy 3 forum.
Hi everyone, it's me gogozx.
I got this phone exactly 2 years ago.
I learned alot of stuff with my little Apollo.
I got Kyrillos ROM and i used it for pretty long time, and i always thought it's the best phone ever.
The phone itself was beautiful and it was pretty nice and fast.
I remember how i cried just to get it.
Then my dad bought it, it was my first Android powered device.
I loved every moment i had with it, i couldn't sleep without having it next to me.
Then, as i thought Kyrillos ROM is the only custom ROM, i went to XDA for second time in my life, just to fix my device, because i accidentally deleted system apps and i couldn't launch anything.
Then i found about something called CyanogenMod 7, and i decided to flash it,
I loved it, but i couldn't play games (CM7 alpha 8 was just released back then)
I was kinda sad that i had to go back to Kyrillos ROM, but after turning back it was 10 times smoother.
I was happy with my phone and i watched him getting new custom ROMs.
Later on i saw Mpics Ice Cream Sandwich ROM was out, bit i couldn't play games neither on that ROM but i was stunned by the new Android 4.0.
So i flashed back to Kyrillos and i could play my favorite game again l Gangstar West Coast Hustle.
I did so much stuff trying to make it work, and then i got hang of the Chainfire3D app, so it worked fine.
Then Android 4.1 was out, i remember i was waiting so long to watch it getting reviewed on strongest phone ever: Galaxy Nexus.
I adored that phone,with that huge display, it was kinda like king of phones.
So great developer named marcellusbe released CyanogenMod 10 for my cute little phone, i was so happy, and i thought to myself, why i can't be awesome like marcellusbe, kyrillos or pmanian.
I decided to go and learn everything about my phone and ROM developing, and after waiting so long and making perfect Jelly Bean ROM for my little monster i finally did it, then i decided to create myself XDA Account.
I got to that 10 posts so i could finally post my ROM, i was the happiest person when people liked my ROM, and i got so much thanked posts i even continued my ROM, and it was awesome, i tried everything to make it work as good as it can, and i made it.
Recently i got a new Google Edition Galaxy SIV, and i was so sad that i knew that i will forget this phone for couple of years, i even cried when i gave it to my sister.
So i told people from this forum that it's time for me to go away, i felt like I'm losing a good friend or something.
But anyways I'm trying now to fix the camera in my Jelly Bean ROM, i got it but the pictures couldn't be saved, but i think that i will probably give up on that, because i no longer have anything, i was so frustrated that i deleted every single Galaxy Apollo file from my PC.
Recently my best friend passed away, and my girlfriend moved away, so it's been pretty hard here.
So that's my goodbye, i hope you have read every sentence i wrote here.
By the way, I'm gonna miss you Apollo Legends (every single person on our g3 forum)

Used the phone for more than 2 years.. And during these many days my little frnd has never been tired of my random and frequent flashes.. Galaxy 3 was my first Android phone.. And I can still remember my first rooting, my first ROM flash... Late night bootloops.. .. Now it's time to move on in this fast world.. Already bought Nexus 4..but you know guys i am really feeling homesick in the huge universe of nexus 4 in xda..so this little forum will always be special for me..
I thank you all devs for making this little wonder.. Others who have solved my many a queries... Thank u all.. I know some day i will meet each of you in some common xda dev thread.. Having same models in our hands.. In near future...

R.I.P. my g3 and good bye everyone. As my phone is broken I am moving to lg nexus4. I want to thank to all developers who worked to make our little g3 better, especially @marcellusbe, @hillbeast and @tom3q. I also wanna thank to: rkoby, kyrillos13, shwetanlal, sad96, jason-ex, twinky444, ajay.d96, pranjal, michal12 and many other developers and themers. And also thanks to whole g3 community which taught me about android and helped when needed. I will still follow this forum so I am not leaving
Sad to see so less activity in the G3 forum. I still have my little G3 with me.
I remember the days when I was just a beginner and actually joined XDA because of the G3. Yeah, those were the days of awesome activity.
I would like to say thank you to all the developers for our g3. I have moved on to the nexus 4 but I will not leave the forum. It has been a great ride, using it daily and running every possible custom rom, from such great developers, to whom I am so greatful. As I said, I will not leave the forum, but it is no longer my main phone. Thanks for such a great time
Good bye G3
Hi today is the last day with g3...i am gonna sell my g3, i dont wanna do that...but my g3 got several hardware problems, so that leave me no choice.
i am just here to say thank you for those who spend their precious time for g3 development...even though it is too old to use. i am very happy, because g3 is my first android device. and that is the reason so i can learn more about android...i always miss you.
