ATRIX is my LAST Motorola product

So my phone has this problem of only intermittently vibrating when I get a text/call. So I got an RMA and sent it in. First off, the lost it, and took several days and several phone calls to find somebody who was able to locate my phone. They then told me that it was not under warranty because it was physical damage. They said the main board was bent. Somehow I was apparently able to bend the phone enough to bend the main board but not crack the screen or back or anything else. So they said they could sell me a phone for $179 (no way). Sounds like crap to me........ I'll be buying Samsung next time.

cool story bro.

I prefer Samsung too. But in the long run I'm going to go with cool story bro

His father left at a young age.
His mother never loved him.
And his first love... Well, we all know what happens after their first love.

I swear stupid **** threads like this need to be deleted as soon as they are posted.
Some days I wish I was a MOD, dumbass posts like these wouldn't happen.

And, to be honest, I believe OP is only presenting a very small part of the story.
Notice how, toward the end of his ramble, he said he dropped the phone?
Sir, facts like those are important if you're trying to get people to rally behind you.

did fingerbang my cat, now you have a friend for life and he has a companion.

Who cares which company .... all that matters is that it has Andorid inside and got a development forum in XDA

Except Samsung has always been on top of updates. The only time Samsung hasn't had a timely update was due to networks, namely AT&T, not approving of the update for a long time.

I agree! Samsung makes good phones, but the touchwiz icons make me feel like I should use velcro shoes, safety scissors, finger paints, ect.
I posted this to get up to the 10 post limit for the dev forums, thanks. I feel validated since it was already towards the top of the page, and my post adds about as much to these forums as the OP

[Poll] Is the Samsung Galaxy Note a "phablet" or a "tablephone?"

I've heard both terms used in the media to describe our devices; but since we actually own Galaxy Notes, shouldn't we decide what moniker our devices carry?
So... if you agree with me, speak up! Cast your votes below. Tell us why you think one is better than the other. Or, if you feel that neither adequately describes our beloved devices, tell us what term you'd use... and why. Personally, I'm partial to "tablephone." Not because it sounds good; because it doesn't. But because "phablet" sounds like a nickname I'd give to one of my love-handles.
So... go ahead and tell us what you think!

I dont see a poll but official under samsung's product line this is a phone.

Non of the above.
It's just a phone, and a very great one.
Shouldn't this thread be under Q&A?

*rolleyes* It's a Mobile Tablet.

Since I wanted each and every person to explain his/her opinion, I opted to not use a traditional poll and instead ask forum members to just "chime in" with their opinions. I felt like that would help to better illustrate not only which term is more popular, but why.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Oh, and as far as the "Q & A" concerns go, I didn't post this in "Q & A" because I'm not asking a question about any kind of problem, and I'm not looking for a right or wrong answer either. I didn't want this posted where people go looking for help. If my Note was having problems and I desparately needed questions to be answered, the last thing I would want to do is sift through this crap while trying to get my problem fixed. I just wanted this to be a playful, interesting collection of opinions and maybe some minor debate. There's no REAL question here.

Its just a phone, and a properly amazing one at that. But it does double up as every other portable mobile device aswell, satnav, console, tablet, mediaplayer, sketchpad, notebook and not forgetting Television.

ok, agree.
Was too fast with my conclusion

Sorry, but this is just a waste of time! We've already had two locked threads that I'm aware of regarding "what" the Note should be called.
The primary reason I carry my Note around with me at all times is the phone function, but in reality I spend more time surfing the internet on it than I do using it as a phone. However, if it didn't have the phone function, I wouldn't carry it around at all times, and thus would actually use it far less than I currently do.
Small tablet or large phone - does it really matter?

Dave

You're right. It doesn't REALLY matter what it's called. But I thought it might be fun for some of us to explain why one nickname is better than the other; or create all new nicknames for it. Now I think THAT would be fun. Just think of all the word-play combinations you could come up with. I mean... come on... "phablet?"... is that the best there is? I was thinking of something like "tab-o-phone" or something similar that sounds like an ad agency from the '50s came up with it.
I suppose someone could come along and lock this thread. But I really don't see how it's doing anyone any harm. I honestly just thought it might be kinda fun. If it has offended or hindered you in any way, I sincerely apologize. That was not my intent. You are absolutely right. This is a waste of time. That's the whole point. I was just trying to lighten things up. I'm sorry.

Hey man. No big deal. I understand your concern. And you are absolutely right; the Note is a GREAT phone!!
On the subject though, if you were tasked with assigning the Note a category of it's own, what would you name it?

Unlocking bootloader X8

Hello
I have posted something similar in the thread where you told us not to unlock the bootloader if your phone is highier than 11W29. But unfortunately I didnt read that thread and I have now a dead phone and my phone´s date is 11W46 (I know I messed up big time here). So my question is: Can I do anything now? Should I look for help with ppl that have the JTAG/RIFF box to resurrect my dead phone or just go to the shop and ask for a new one?
The problem is that I am not sure if my warranty is lost this way and if they will give me a refund...
Please give me back the hope of brining my phone to life again :´´(

If you have tried to unlock the bootloader you have rooted your phone. If you have rooted it you have broken the warranty so im sorry about that.

Go to shop and say that phone was dead at normal use! If in repair center will find that you brick phone by yourself you will pay some money. I was bricked my daughters phone (11W35) and take it to nearest mobile phone workshop (not SE warranty), phone was be repaired in 1 day and that was cost 15 Euros.

there isnt a way to find out if the phone is rooted as long as it doesnt open and there isnt a way to open it(they will change the motherboard or replace your phone), so it doesnt matter

@stamatis16
Great news for me . Thank you for sharing that. I could go to the shop then and just tell em the phone died. Thank you guys a lot for the optimism I ll do my best to bring it to life again

Just take it to the shop and say that you put your phone to charge and since than it cant start

Hello again...
after 3 -4 weeks I finally got a call from the shop and they told me that the phone is ready to be taken. So I did. Never had to pay for anything .. they just told me the mother board was switched. Such great news.
now
I am thinking of putting the GingerDX ROM on my phone .. Why shouldnt I do it ? Are there any problems I should know about it? Anything to tell me?
P.S.
Sorry for double post

If that so, lucky u.If i were u, i will open a phoneshop which is provide a rooting service & ask me to work with u.In my place, its good side income for phoneshop worker & they will take responsiblity if anything goes ugly.I mean,these guys has practicing a hundred times so the chance of bricking is nearly zero.

emwno got the device spent by community - but nothing happens yet...

so folks, the description will point my opinion - not more or less...
in my eyes it´s a kind of impudence to collect many bucks for a device in anticipation some rom-experiance...
emwno has received the device 2 month ore less ago - in meantime samsung pushed the firmware to 4.2.2...
I can remember some words like "give me 2 days to play with it before it´s a develop-unit" - ehrm, kay.... development is urgent missing...
I´m total critical in hardware-funding, so I spent nothing! In this point I get totally right. If I see a result I´ll support the develper with any bucks.
What´s in your mind?

How much of the device sent to him was your money?

Beanstown also got a device paid for by the community.
So far, Beans has produced a deodexed stock rom and Emwo has produced the viable custom recoveries needed to flash the roms and kernels that Beans, Civato etc. are making. Emwo took a good run at making a kernel, too.
Would it be nice if there was more development? Sure, but I'm lazy - I just kicked in some money - more as a thank- you than anything else.
If I actually wanted to see a feature developed, I'd do it myself, or I'd buy a device on which there was active development.

I think something was lost in the translation somewhere, I thought this was a spam post at first.

This happens a lot on xda and its why its against the rules to fund promises of development sometime in the future. If you would have read the rules I believe it is line 8. Im a lawyer. Never pay unless you play.

I wouldn't end that statement with "sorry". If he just bought it like that, he's not going to be the least bit disappointed with having to reset it in order to make it work. Just being able to make it work is all he's after. I'm sure he's ecstatic to know that he can

Well, I figured he was looking for the easy way but that's not what he's going to get short of knowing the person's email and password so the only way is to Odin the stock roms so your right sorry shouldn't have ended my statement however it did because it's not what he wanted to hear I'm sure.

I may be a bit biased because I've rootedand customized phones since the D1, when it was MUCH harder than it it currently. But I have always found ODIN very easy to use. In reality, I'm sure the OP could look up a video on youtube on how to use ODIN and get his phone working in like 20 min (minus download/setup times for ODIN, ROM, etc.). And I'm sure he saved a bundle buying it like that. He just needs to pray it's not IMEI locked on top of it, or all that effort will have been wasted
