Thoughts on YOUR Atrix?

Delete.

i'm very happy with the phone. the only caveat i really have (which a lot of people don't seem to have) is battery life. i get about 13-14 hours with 3-4 hours of display-on time, while others have been reporting double that.
as far as motoblur is concerned, if you just get another launcher and use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze motoblur Home and other services, then you won't even have to think about it.

I should be receiving my Atrix for AT&T tomorrow, this will be a HUGGGGGGEEEEEE upgrade from my measly HTC Hero (Sprint CDMA) that I have modified to the ends of the Earth. I'm in need of more power and amazed at the stuff you can do with the Atrix.
My question to you all, has this phone met or surpassed your expectations? Did it fail to achieve those expectations? Tell me what you think of this phone, I have been reading so many reviews about the phone I feel like I know all technological aspects about the phone as well, haha.
How fast were you to get rid of MotoBlur?

I think I can speak for a lot of people in saying that, as far as the Atrix goes, I am in love with the "potential" this phone has. But as far as meeting those expectations, well, that's something to be debated. There are areas where the dual core shines and other areas it seems it is not harnessing the full power. Then couple that with AT&T's network restrictions and Motorola's lockdown on the device, I'm going to have to say that I am disappointed in the Atrix as of now. That could change if there is a break through in the bootloader or if AT&T gets its act together and starts offering the "High speeds" we were promised. Only problem is though, my 30 days is almost up and I don't know if I can hold onto the phone in hopes of "potential".

Coming from a captivate I love this phone...everything works includi.g the gps. Most of motoblur is gone on my phone. The phone is amazingly fast but does have an occasional hiccup. An unlocked bootloader would turn this into the best available android phone but its one of the top

I'm in the same boat. In terms of hardware, this phone is a beast. I can even live with the screen quality and the terrible camera. But software side, I am really hoping to see a unlocked bootloader or I might be very tempted to take this phone back...

Yeah, I'm high up on the fence because if I do return it I am going to switch carriers as well.

I'm really enjoying it... coming from a Tilt2, it's a major upgrade. Straight out of the box, it's very enjoyable... I'm not dissapointed at all.. it's only going to get better once they get this beast unleashed
Camera is quick and decent.
GPS is amazingly fast...
Browser is snappy and loads everything great
WiFi is a little weak...
and I actually like the screen.. It's not best screen ever made, but it's actually a very nice display.
I was getting terrible battery life, but somehow a hard-reset solved that problem, and i'm able to get more than a day of heavy use no problem.
Just picked up a second one for the wife (coming from an iphone 3g) and she's really enjoying it a lot as well

I like the Atrix. I upgraded from an iPhone 3G. I realize that it's not the best it can be as far as unlocking right now, but it is better than what I had. I only wish I could afford the webtop dock right now for times I'm on the road. Nothing a netbook couldn't fix though.

as far as the battery, it really has to do with what you're doing. I've seen mine go 39 hours over a weekend with normal use, or 16 hours when i'm streaming pandora constantly at work. My building for work also isn't great for signal, so the phone is constantly working for signal, which uses battery.
The other day i did ~5 hours of pandora at work, then fired up the GPS, which was on for ~1.5 hours guiding me, screen on, not plugged in. few phone calls and web use and it was almost dead after 15 hours.
This phone is miles better than the aria i had before it, and it will only get better as more things are updated to take advantage of the tegra 2 platform. Won't matter if this phone gets cracked or not, it will get better and better for a while either way.

Wow... 39 hours. I get about 17 hours of use from it, which is much better than any other smartphones I've ever used so I'm happy... but I can't imagine hitting that number. I do have bluetooth and wifi on all the time.

I like my Atrix, the only problems i see is that the webtop is very limited, but some people over the developer section are working on that, and also the speeds which since T-Mobile was bought it definitely will become faster alongside with HSPA+ and LTE being utilized together. It has lots of potential to run REALLY great, but this is the first phone of its kind, it'll always have problems in the beginning.

and that cuts the battery way down. powering all the radios is a large power drain. I never turn on a radio i don't need, so 90% of the time wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc are off. Mobile data is always on, and i i never try and tell it to revert to 2g.

see... i wish i had that same kind of success.

It's always hard to determine battery life from these posts because people's definition of "moderate" and "heavy" usage differ a lot. This is why it would be nice if the phone had gingerbread where the battery plot actually shows the wake time, wifi time, signal strenth, display on, etc. so people could quote their results rather than just guestimating. The best way to tell is really just display on time since that's pretty much the biggest draw.
Based on my limited testing I can get about 4-5 hours of display on time with auto brightness. The absolute best I could squeeze out of my nexus S is almost 4 hours which is to be expected since it's 1930mah vs. 1500mah. I MIGHT do some battery drain tests before I return the Atrix but I'm not sure... those take time. I know the Nexus S can go about 7-8 hours playing a video while in airplane mode so I'm wondering what the Atrix could achieve.

We do have all those indicators in the Battery manager. I average about 13-14 hours with 3-4 hours of display, unless i'm doing something like streaming March Madness via flash, then it drops to like 7 hours with 2-3 hours of display.

Love it.
Honestly out of all the phones i've had this is the main one.
Screen great looking.
Speed is unreal and I mean like lightening fast :O
The games and apps that work just look and run crazy good!
Camera imo is great not going to replace main cameras but great for stills and videos, would be nice to see the 1080p recording update out soon though
Motoblur stuff which I like :O lol can be frozen and a custom launcher introduced without you even thinking about the motoblur lag.
Battery life is very good I can get a whole day at college 8:30 until 6 heavy usage and still get home with 30-40% left which is great to me
Fingerprint reader is also a great little feature that gets yours friends a little jealous lol
Only thing I don't like is the battery door creaks, I know its nothing major but its just a little annoyance other than that the build quality is great very sleek device!

I'm really bored with my Atrix there's no developement community. You can't do **** with a locked bootloader. Even the iphone is more open than this pos. It's going back tommorrow **** motorola.

I'm a firm believer in the "garbage in, garbage out" philosophy. Yes this phone has one or two legitimate issues (touch screen acting up after x seconds continuous touch), but for the most part is good. How many apps do you have installed? How many do you actually use? Every month i clean out my phone of apps that haven't been used in a couple weeks. I usually see a little bump in battery life each time since less apps are itching to use the data connection or other resources.
how many widgets are you running? I don't really notice it on the Atrix, but on my aria when i had 5 home screens riddled with widgets, it was laggy and slow. Drop it down to 2 screens with a simple setup, and it was snappy.
My point is, most of the time, little issues are probably user generated. I see it all the time with computers. But it's way easier to blame the hardware and software than look for the cause of your problem. again, i'm not down playing the few legitimate issues.
next time i pull a 39hour run i'll post specifics of what i was using it for in the battery thread.

I'm very happy with mine. I don't have much of a desire to put a custom ROM on, so the locked bootloader isn't an issue. The speed of this device is just levels beyond my Nexus One. I can't remember a time so far where I've had any lag. Plus, I don't have to worry about app space the way I did with the N1.

[Q] unprovoked(seemingly) reboots?

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing frequent reboots? I am averaging about one a day with really light use(under one hour screen on time). It sometimes freezes at the unlock screen just after the power button is pressed to wake it up after being idle for a while. Other times it will reboot while its just sitting there. My phone is currently on stock ROM and is not rooted.

I did every day and it also got very warm whilst supposedly idle. I got a replacement and have had just 1 reboot in just over a week and it runs cooler too.
I suggest you get it replaced.
Ps. Do you have poor battery life too because it's a lot better with my new phone.

So your replacement "only" rebooted once in a week? Correct me if i'm wrong, but from my understanding, a phone is NEVER supposed to reboot for no reason.

Correct. But I'd consider that acceptable considering it has no other hardware flaws and put it down to buggy software or a rogue app. If it's an isolated reboot then I'm happy, a reboot every day certainly points to a hardware issue and not acceptable.

To me it's unacceptable, as it obviously shouldn't do this and the device seems to be defective if it just does that. Also, there are other hardware flaws, for example that the device gets so hot that it needs to throttle the performance after ~5 mins of work and has to completely shut down after ~10 minutes.

That is not a flaw, the S4 Pro can't disperse heat efficiently in a small device. Not to mention that even throttled, it's probably still the strongest chipset in terms of brute power.

I'm just realistic when it comes to tech. If my only issue is 1 isolated reboot (which it is at the moment) then I'm happy. Don't think I've ever owned anything with a chip that hasn't at least restarted/frozen once.
Sure the phone gets warm under heavy use but I haven't noticed any slowdown in real use so all good. PS My previous did stutter when hot, unlike this one, so I'm certain that was faulty.

That's not correct. There are other phones with exactly the same CPU, and none of them throttle. Only Nexus 4 does.

I don't really give a sh** what you consider normal work. I've never used that term.
When there's a game that needs the full performance of an S4 pro and the N4 can't deliver it, it won't run. The N4 is the only device that cannot run it's max stated clock frequency.

Then don't buy it? Get the GS3 then. (which btw throttles as well)
I'll wait for some custom kernels and updates to come out. This is brand new silicone.

I think I'm mostly in denial at the moment. I really want this phone to be awesome, however I had my first random reboot about 15 minutes after I got it on the 16th of November. Battery life has been quite horrible most of the time due to the "msm_hsic_host wakelock" issue. I have never had a defective phone and I wasn't ready for a "nexus" to be one. Yes I know it can and does happen. I keep telling my self "4.2.2 will fix all the things".

Actually it probably will...
Do you happen to have a widget that is polling your location? I had HD Widgets installed, with my GPS off it kept rebooting my phone... Now it seems a-ok! This issue has been brought to Google's attention and I think they're working on it.
I don't have the msm_hsic wakelock anymore... Solved that with Franco's kernel and it really improved my battery life.
Hopefully this helps!

I don't, I am running minimal installed apps :-/ . I also have the buzz in the ear piece while on and off calls. It's time to RMA I guess.

I bit the bullet and ordered a new one :-/ The rep I got was awesome and the overall experience was good. Unfortunately I was made aware that a replacement could be 2 weeks away. Today my phone was off charger for 4 hours in good reception. Screen on time less than 10 mins, sleep time was just over and hour and I have 48% battery left. blah.

Stuck at 100%

So I'm on my 3rd replacement here. Long story and too many issues later WiFi issues, light bleed etc. I'm noticing an odd issue where the battery display gauge is stuck at 100%. I'm not sure if this has been discussed before so thought I'd share. I didn't root just yet but did update to 4.3.
Do you guys think I should just let it run dry or ?

I had a similar issue. Reboot, use consistently or run an intensive game for a few minutes, check your %. Then, do again or let it sleep for awhile. If it drains at all but then sticks after sleeping/gaming/Netflix or something, then its your motherboard, call Samsung and tell them to replace the PBA (Phone Board Assembly)

How hot is it getting? This phone has the Snapdragon 810 chip which is very well known for becoming pretty warm.

Mine was also very hot the first day I had it. But after I got all the updates, set it up with my apps and charged it again(from 0%) it's great!

Give it a couple days and a few charge cycles. once the phone and kernel settle is when you'll know how the phone it truly running. Also, letting a battery die IS BAD for the battery NOT helpful. It's NEVER good to let a battery reach zero, regardless if its the first charge or not. That was the way you did it with an old Ni-Cad batteries to create a memory. These batteries are Lithium-Ion, they never create a memory. It's better to charge it around 15-20% and overall best to charge at around 50% fir longer battery life (more charge cycles).

Note 4 Issues

Good afternoon,
I have a AT&T Note 4 and I am at my wits ends. When you try and restart the phone it will just shut down and then it will not power up for 10-15 minutes at all. The phone will also shut down randomly. It will lag and not unlock sometimes. It just seems to freeze. Sometimes on start up it goes to the Odin screen or gets stuck on restarting and never makes it to the colored SAMSUNG screen. I have replaced the battery to eliminate that possibility. The software is up to date also. I have trouble shot this thing to death. What am I missing? The GPS also way off and it started being off a year and a half almost after the phone was new. I am talking 250-500 feet off. It is mostly off while moving making navigation impossible.

Thanks for the response. Yup that is what the issue is. I have been a Samsung fan for years. The fact that they refuse to acknowledge this may drive me away from getting another one. I have spent hours researching and trying to narrow down the issues and find the fix.

Note7 already having issues. Seems like Samsung may have some serious issues going on. Ill have to get my hands on a Nexus and look at it.

Just finished switching to 6P, for better or for worse. Looks great, love the octa core, but the new Google phone is supposed to be announced in a month, and there's no expandable storage. But, I was ready to upgrade and the last few months with my note4 have been brutal. After hearing how many people were also having issues with Samsung (plus the note 7 exploding battery thing), I'm more than ready to come back to Nexus and leave the Note behind. Tbh probably just gonna thrash it until it completely dies lol
