Farewell, Atrix Community!

Howdy, Guys.
Well, my digitizer broke, started getting really really finnicky, at first I thought it was just CM9 touch drivers. But yesterday, I noticed it had a huge dead spot, and touch test confirmed. I found a deal on a Lumia 900 on Craigslist, and will be using this for the next 5 months until my upgrade.
I've never been a part of such a devoted and active community on XDA. I thank you all for all your help, and I'm glad to have been able to contribute in whatever ways I could. I look forward to working with some of you again, maybe we'll see an Atrix 3 together.
Thanks for everything, and Good Luck
-Peter

Adios buddy.

The 900 is a cool phone. Battery life is sucky, but the UI is the best part about the phone.

Good luck with WP

EBay the digitizer. I found a "used" one for $30
Worth it when you have a dead spot like I did.

Farewell and good luck with your new phone !

No need for another thread on same topic...
Well Guys & Gals, it's been fun on the Atrix Forums... been here since March of last year, and saw all the milestones for this device. But the time has come to move on to a newer phone.
My Galaxy S3 will be arriving tomorrow. So while I may not be as involved on a day to day basis as I have in the past, I'll still be around. And I'm still the forum moderator, so don't go thinking your gonna get away with anything.
See ya around,

Did you buy the phone straight up or with a discount?

Used my upgrade.
Sent from my Atrix

Well guys, I really only had an atrix for about a month (baught it at amazon for 220 but I sold it for 350) lol. You gotta love XDA and all the devs out there who can make something that is suppose to be fast be fast AKA CM7.
I really was hoping ICS version stable, would have been made while using this phone.
Oh Well, hey you guys and gals, take care and as we say in Germany Tschuess!

Sad to see you guys go. I'm tempted by the GS3 but it's not quite what I want still. I think I'll keep rocking the Atrix for another month and see what happens. And possibly save some green on the upgrade if I decide to go GS3 anyway.

Oh my... how I wish I can upgrade my phone right now..

I don't want you to go! so here is a temporary solution =P
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719653

I'm leaving too, gsm galaxy nexus from the play store
Wife will use my upgrade for whatever she decides on
I'd like to thank all of you who are active here and stayed active through thick and thin
Most especially the leaker of the unlocked boot loader file then the devs who brought us more than enough great roms to make me really love this phone (after blur made me hate it) I'll still keep my Atrix so I can still try out what you all come up with.

Unfortunately, I have upgraded my phone as well to the Galaxy S3. Since money is tight, I am selling my Atrix to pay for the upgrade so Aura is now discontinued officially (I assume most considered it that way already).
It was a fun run and I hope everyone has a wonderful year.

I'm not leaving right away, I'll wait until a next batch of S3's are available before I use my upgrade..
It's been great guys!

While I am on the SGSII right now, I am still excited about a more stable CM9 on the Atrix.
Too many turn offs with me on upgrade options. SGSIII - Micro SIM (and I don't want to go the SIM adapter route) + too large of a screen.
Nexus - refuse to buy until Nexus finally makes a phone with a MicroSD.
HTC - Needs to prove itself in battery life.
Honestly while I am currrntly enjoying the SGSII, I'm STILL going back and forth with my Atrix on CM7.2. Don't know why but I just really love almost everything about the Atrix, and probably will never sell it...

Once you play with it for a few hours it makes the Atrix feel downright tiny and insignificant in screen size, it is crazy. It feels pretty much perfect in size after a short while.
Not to mention that it runs more fluid on the stock rom than any phone I have ever used. Amazing device, I would definitely say go try it out once demo's start showing up in stores. The microSIM isn't so bad, since after using it for a few days I can't use the Atrix anymore. It feels so small and hard to see the screen... which is kinda depressing because I loved the Atrix, only phone I have ever used for my full contract period.

I'm poor, so no S3 for me, but I picked up a refurb skyrocket for $10 as a contract upgrade. My wife's still on an atrix, though, and it does indeed seem small and insignificant after just a few hours w/ the skyrocket. LTE is amazing as well. Faster than my 18mbps uverse. Was a good run.

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the support in making the atrix a much better experience then Moto did.
TheBill was great giving us awesome roms even when he did not have an atrix.
My atrix died for the 3rd time and rather then go through the warranty process once again I have decided to wait for the Lumina 920.
Ill be using the Iphone 4 as a temp phone (now I know why i didnt go apple) but am excited to give a whole new operating system a try.
Again thank you to a great community.

Thinking of buying N4

Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying a N4 in a month or so, and just wanted to ask for your opinions and thoughts about this phone. Thanks

Define "soon" . you may be waiting until around November or so. I think the back glass itself is sleek as all hell. I'm just afraid of breaking it. So I put it in a case where I don't get to enjoy its beauty.

Here's what I said in a thread of someone asking if it's worth it. Basically: you should buy it.
Johmama said:
The main pros of the Nexus 4 that I keep listing anytime I tell people about it are the following:
1. Price. $350 is pretty much half the price of any other competitor to the Nexus 4
2. Pure Android, updated directly from Google. As soon as a new version of Android is released, it's on the Nexus. Google develops Android FOR this device.
3. Design. Glass front and back, it's a solid phone. Looks sleek.
Now, newly-released phones do have slightly better hardware. But we're getting to the point of diminishing returns. We're packing so much hardware into these devices, you'll hard-pressed to find software that actually makes use of it. I think the only debate you should be having is buy the Nexus 4 now, or wait until the next Nexus comes out, possible during the holidays. That isn't to say this phone won't still be a solid phone then, but I can understand if some people wait to buy updated versions.
To answer your question: yes. It is definitely worth it. At $350, it's fiscally irresponsible NOT to buy a Nexus 4. Right now I'm paying $30/mo for a tablet plan on AT&T with 3gb of data. Having weird and crazy options like that don't seem to happen with other phones. I feel like the Nexus 4 is YOUR phone, not 80% your phone, 20% the manufacturer's.
Spoiler alert: I might be a little biased, but c'mon. It's a sweet phone.

Thanks everyone for replies, especially @Johmama . How's the battery life and speaker sound? I wish I could buy it now, but I have tickets to pay so I have to wait a month

Not to mention the strong development support, if you're the adventurous type it's nearly impossible to hard-brick a Nexus.
Pure Android (AOSP) is rather nice by itself and I could live with that, but I like to go custom a bit .

Well battery isn't as long as say a Galaxy S3 with a 7000mAh extended battery on it. The N4 uses a 2100mAh battery and depending on your usage, it could last maybe 4 hours of constant screen usage at full brightness (screen takes most the battery), or it can last over 21 with the occasional checking of facbook, emails, etc once every couple of hours.
Here's a screenshot when I finally got it down to zero percent. (it stayed idle overnight as I slept, and then I used it here and there during the day.)

LoL, true we may be bias, but I'll at least tell you quirks I've noticed. Even so I'd still pick an N4 unless all the other brands want to ship full AOSP at the same price and include extras like maybe a micro-SD card slot or replaceable battery . I kind of wish you could use USB-OTG without a 5V adapter, but I don't use my phone the same way I use my Tablet.

Well I'm not buying a phone of any of you, so it's not like someone has to advertise it so I'd buy it. That's why I asked in N4 forum, because all of you have N4.

Basic stuff like Wifi and 3G data have hardware or driver problems. I sometimes wish I'd paid $100 more for a phone that has had more testing/QA. (Not sure there is a better phone for only $100 more, though.) I still prefer this phone to the SGS3, which has fundamentally bad OS design and poor compatibility with third party Android builds.

[Q] Potential Buyer

Hey guys, im thinking of getting a new phone after my disappointment with the lumia 920 and im thinking of getting the s4, g2 or the z1 and with samsung ive had some experience with the sgs and the note and i havent really had any problems with them but ive never had any exp with lg so i wanted to ask you about any COMMON problems (hardware mostly) that this phone (the international version) has because ive been reading things about the screen that frighten me. also worth mentioning is that this phone costs about 550 euros in my country and so does the z1, the s4 about 440 also the customer service is not very good so fixing or replacing the phone will be a little bit of a problem.

Nobody?

What issues have you heard about the screen? This is the best android device ive ever had plain and simple. You wont regret picking one up.

First of all that issue isn't widespread. Why would you be frightened to death to buy a phone? I'm sure every phone has some kind of return policy if it has issues. Just buy it and try it out no need to be frightened don't be scared.

The only advantage of having the s4 over the g2 is you can flash google edition roms if you get bored of touchwiz.which also means that the s4 will probably get kitakat as a google edition update faster than other phones. If you dont care about vanilla android, stick to the g2 it trumps the s4 in every category.

Where did you hear of "excessive overheating"? Literally every smartphone these days does that when you do too much hardcore gaming. At least it won't do this to you http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-...the-shape-of-the-phone-on-womans-body_id42542
S800 does a nice job of throttling so it doesn't get too hot.

i wouldnt get the snapdragon version of the s4 anyways, i would get the octacore which would be as getting the same port as the g2 would get from the nexus 5, or cyanogenmod which almost everyphone would get, im just worried about lg as a brand because i havent had any experience with it and those small hardware i cant really stand

I can't comment on the z1 but I had an s4 and now I have the note 3 and the g2. I am so happy with the g2 that the note 3 sits turned off in the box. The g2 is the first android phone that I have not rooted to make it better. As the saying goes if it isn't broken............

All the drop tests that sites conduct are complete BS. If you want a phone to survive any drop they you would've gotten a) a Nokia or b) an Armor case from Otterbox.
Simply put, if you want drop protection, buy the phone in my signature. It sucks crap at everything except for durability. And the Z1 shouldn't get any more praise than any other phone; drop it from a considerable height and you'll have a mess.

Ive owned the S4, HTC One, and S4 active (and more but those are the most current) this is by far the best I love it... The only complaint I have is it took me so many phones to find the perfect one

Hi,
And all your questions have been answered in different threads, you just need a little search...
Battery life (or screen on time if you prefer), it depends mainly (only) of your use (games, browsing, just calls, etc...) and your settings (like screen brightness, synchro, wifi/data, etc...), how we can tell you what will be your average battery life depending to your use...?
Same thing for the storage, how we can know what you put in your phone and if it will be enough It's just you who know this... In any case something nice exists: USB OTG cable or at least cloud storage.

No battery drain. I use my storage for music when I hit the gym and my photos. I also use google drive which is an additional 15 gigs of cloud storage for free. I'm a heavy web and app user (I use anywhere from 12-15 apps) with my screen cranked to about 60% also and I get 16 hours of straight usage which includes talk time. If you're a power user you'd love the phone. If you do light usage you'd love it even more. People complain about the GPS. You let it lock in the first time (it takes about 30 sec) after that its an instant lock. This is a great phone

I love it! I use it normally full time college student and get the most about 18hours on battery sometimes more

I am a very content (yet still tentative) owner of a G2 for 36 hrs so far .... got 13 more days to return to Best Buy w/o ANY restocking fee -IF- I do not like IT .... I got mine for $49.00 (yeah, yeah on contract) ..... rooted it last night and have been messing with it for hours on end (need to go to sleep. gotta work in a little bit !) ..... anyways, I just flashed AOSPA 4.0+/4.4 w/ Custom G2 kernel ..... coming from a completely TWEAKED/OPTMZD VanirAOSP GNEX, the G2 is VERY IMPRESSIVE ....significantly better camera than N5, SAME SNAP 800, a little better build quality, a little more 'refined' & 'polished' BUT the dammm buttons on the back take A LOT of getting used to, esp when trying to do combos to get recovery, etc

Aside from your Verizon Experience I agree about the LG G2.

I just ordered this phone today from Amazon. They put it on sale last night for 1 cent and they don't charge sales tax here. Couldn't pass that up and if I decide that I want the N5 I'll have two new phones for the cost of the N5. :good:

I had then choice between the Nexus 5 and the G2, but because the two in Denmark cost the same. This is why I chose the G2:
Amazing battery. I only charge 2 time a day when i'm flashing roms constantly
Big screen to footprint ratio (Also bright colors, and nice contrast)
Great camera (As long as you stay on the stock rom, it really slow on aosp based roms)
Personally i have come to like the back mounted buttons and knock-on
Currently i'm running a AOSPA 4.0 rom (KitKat), so basically right now my G2 is a "better-than-nexus" for the same price.
I'll give it 8/10. Loses two because of the ugly LG software, and the plasticy body. Both if which i have fixed with the KitKat rom, and a soft touch case.

If your take photos of toddlers or pets you'll want to kill the phone dead. With fire.

It's been an awesome device for me for almost 2 months for me. I'm a heavy user and I can easilly get through the entire day on the battery. Its fast fluid and smooth and LG's factory UI is amazing. But the sceen issues have pretty much crippled the device. knock knock doesnt work any more and there's a strip across the upper portion of the screen that doesnt register touches anymore. With the screen issues happening so often to users, I can't recomend this device to anyone.

Also has anyone used USB OTG ? Can I use a micro-USB to SD card adapter while using USB OTG protocol? I guess it should work...
The one I have the idea of using is this. Its just easier for me as I already have a micro SD card and its less bulky then lets say as flash drive...

Please really need this info as I need to order this ASAP ...

After contemplating for a whole while, choosing from an unlocked Xperia Z1 or Ultra, LG G2 (even the F320 expandable versions) international editions and the 32GB Nexus 5 (of which Google Play ended up shipping out last Wed, in spite of "shipping from warehouse by Dec 3") for weeks.
Well, after weighing the pros vs cons on the Nexus 5 vs G2 for Straight Talk use...I ended up with a locked T-Mobile LG G2 from Swappa. Took delivery of it last Black Fri. It is now running sweetly on my old microSIM trimmed Straight Talk/T-Mob service.
Coming from an old Gingerbread 2.3 Acer Liquid MT (data at 3-4Mbps tops) holdout...this LG is effing pretty fast on all fronts (data hitting 13-14+Mbps consistently).
I'm still in the process of tinkering my new LG toy though..
My LG G2 love affair has just begun.
P.S. All I need now..getting to have my Moto Xoom internet to work tethering from my LG..and to refuse UPS delivery of the black N5 by tomorrow.

So what's next (possible 2nd recall)

I know there is a thread about the issues with the replacements. This thread about thoughts on where to go from there. What people think about what phone to replace the Note 7 etc.
I just dont know what other phone is good enough to jump to. Or if its even worth staying with the Note even if Samsung goes for v3... Resale value etc.
For the 1st time in my life im even considering the Iphone lol

I am thinking the V20. I don't want the s7e. The v20 looked much tougher than the N7 but with same screen real estate. Not as good as the N7 but may be my only choice since it appears the N7 may be abonded by all carriers. No way will it make economical sense to give updates and alike for the small few who stubbornly try to keep it.
We have a dead device, weird year for Samsung and us for sure, it's almost as strange as our election this year.

For some reason i feel i am more at risk with the replacement. I used my 1st n7 almost to the end but i dont know. I guess i have had enough
Now im not sure if i will even get a new phone, i may just stay with my Note 5

I kept my note 5 as well, but the only thing I could replace the note 7 with is the note 8. I feel this is really bad for the note faithful, those of us who are s pen junkies and have had several notes before 7. There isn't a replacement except for another note. Finally a waterproof, SD card capable note, hell the only things missing is the removable battery. I plan to roll the dice and keep this one as lo g as I can, I won't be early for the recall if it comes back up. They got me the first time, this time I am more skeptical about it.

I stopped using my n7 until more info comes out. I dont think i will keep it because there is no point paying $800+ for a phone that probably won't get support. If Samsung goes for round 3 they need to offer a heavy discount to those of us who have dealt with this mess from day one...
We shall see.... I already miss using my N7

How is your note 5 as far as lag and speed? I am thinking about getting one. Either note 5 or one plus 3.
