Anxious future owner here; Come on guys, how's the beast performing??

Is it faster than the Nexus S?
Are apps opening in lightening speed?
Is there any lag at all?
Is the camera fairly decent?
WLan works well?
Can't wait to get the darn thing next week..
P.S. Has anyone managed to remove the sim-lock?

Nope go read the threads screen sucks and slow on things. And I almost wanted on over my nexus s

I can still choose whether I get the Nexus S or the Atrix; a friend in the US buys it tomorrow for me. I was done & dusted on getting the Nexus S (coming from an un-rooted Nexus One) until I took a final look on those specs of the Atrix again. That phone just looks too good on paper to not be good!
Guys, more updates please! Help a guy make up his mind..

Apps opening? - Fastest phone I've own yet...
Lag? - yes. Going from an app like Angry birds to home screen, there's an initial lag. It's annoying. Must be Blurrrrr.
Camera? - Disappointed...iPhone 4 is definitely better.
Let's just say I'm ready to install a custom Rom without all the bloatware and lameBlur. Blur kills the phones IMO.

Not many phones can beat the iphone 4 camera appart from Nokia, but is the camera on the Atrix better than the HTC Desire or nexus s.
Cheers.

Go pure Google nexus s soo fast better screen nfc chip and gryoscope for games. 2.4 will set the standard soon witch this device won't see

What about running Launcher Pro on it, that'd make it a bit more sensible I think.
Camera; Using Camera 360 can probably crisp the images a bit more? it's a phone at the end of the day..

Would luv to go Samsung but for me a LED notification light is the number 1 piece of hardware then the camers then the screen & samsung will not put a cheap led light on there phones, so only HTC & Motorola for me & HTC have done nothing new this year so far.

Go back to the Nexus S boards then rather than trolling here. You clearly don't have the phone, any anything you state is a matter of opinion, and clearly jealousy since you're on our boards and not yours.

My atrix is fast. I had someinitial lag in the app drawer while using Launcher Pro but it is gone now.

Came from Nexus One. Good upgrade.
Confirmed that with proper account provisioning, unlimited 4G data for $30, and the "phone" apn, upload is either capped by AT&T or HSUPA is disabled on the hardware by AT&T. Tethering plan may increase upload speed but I got no confirmation in this yet.
Otherwise it's an excellent upgrade from the N1.

You like to troll don't you?
The phone works great, haven't had any lag at all so far. Only been playing on it for 4 hours though! Launcher Pro works great, I have the 3D settings on and the animations don't lag whatsoever. No complaints with the screen. Only thing that sucks is my Worms game isn't working Something about being an unsupported device.

Man I see you trolling on a ton of threads here and as a Nexus S owner myself you really give us a bad name.
Sound like a jealous teenager hating the fact that someone else could have something better than you... drop it already. Go back to school, learn to read and write correctly.

Thanks for that reply, great to know a fellow N1 owner is happy with the Atrix! The N1 is the best phone I've ever use; I am getting more & more convinced that the Atrix will have me equally mesmerized!!
Just hope that after Tuesday's off - contract sales someone will post a confirmed way to remove the sim lock too..

Should note that if you look at the reviews out there, the N1 battery life is crap (compared to the Atrix). Also the Atrix (like most newer Android phones) has a proper multitouch screeen. So you'll notice way better typing input immediately.

I will admit.... it's nice that nucentury is at least starting to use SOME punctuation. Not enough, but it's still an improvement from the first post i've seen from him in his other thread.
Besides.... who would even take the advice of someone who thinks that a gyroscope makes a phone that much better than any other device when it comes to gaming? A gyroscope has the same exact flaw as Microsoft Kinect. It's only logical to be used for a certain genre of games. Anything outside those genres, and it's just a useless addition to the phone.

Everything for me is great thus far. Phone is very snappy using LauncherPro also using Beautiful widgets.
Typing is spot on. Nice screen resolution. I would say the phone is overall faster than the Captivate and Inspire.

Andy Rubin's Xoom prototype

http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/14/...-posted?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_engadget
I watched this video back in December when it was released, didn't think much of it recently but had a look at it again this morning to see if it was a Xoom prototype. From what I can tell, it is. What I found most interesting is the app tray fly-in smoothness.
Obviously, this was a development unit shown 4 months before the actual release, so it is not terribly relevant to compare my Xoom with his, but I can't help but wonder why the app tray fly-in looks so much smoother on an early device than it does on a production- ready model (albeit not fully polished). Couple of possibilities:
1. The smoothness is simply a result of the video quality, and a higher rez version on a larger screen may allow me to see the fly-in is as chopp as what I've noticed on production models.
2. Rubin's prototype is super-overclocked and thoroughly optimized to be as smooth as possible in order to not look clunky during its first public appearance.
3. This prototype is working in a non-mobile environment, without any added services used by carrier networks. No use by 3g chip and no background services to support data or voice connectivitt.
Thoughts?

Oh Christ Jesus that SO doesn't matter! Have you ever run "ps" or "logcat" while doing that?!
I have 96 apps loaded on my device. I suspect that as you run thru the screens, it's gotta render each icon in-place. I don't believe for a minute that's going to be fast every time.
I've had co-workers "rate" my Xoom by how quickly the icons swipe in the App Screen, and I look at them like they're ****in' crazy. NEVER MIND the fact that the tablet is fast as hell and does 95% of what I want it to well, they say "it doesn't swipe quickly".
WGAS?!!

"Fast as hell" does not describe the Xoom.

And therin lays the reason apple is so sucsesful. They would by far reduce features and only include features that are refined and work than throw everything in, and even give the possibility to developers to affect the experiance.
So in Android you can change your keyboard, you can edit an MP3 with multiple software and then use it as a ring tone ...
in the iPhone ... you cant

You must be doing something wrong. Mine only gets slow when I'm developing over ADB (I think it is a bug, actually..) and when I'm using flash sometimes. A reboot fixes the temporary slowness without fail. I might just be lucky and have a nice unit, since my linpack score is in the top 50 after using the stock kernel OC'd to 1.5 GHz.
But I'm sick of seeing this M of yours attached to whiney posts all over these forums. Please, either figure out how to fix your DEVELOPER TABLET or go complain in some NON-DEVELOPER forums where some lucky CONSUMERS might actually get some value out of the dribble you type.
Better yet, return your Xoom, it is clearly not the right tablet for you.

1 - there's a lot of JS on certain sites' in their text boxes (presumably for advanced editing/composition features). You'll also notice on those "slow" sites that there's no keyboard autocorrect popups, either 'cause all input is character-at-a-time
2 - that's what you base "slow" on? You sound like my co-workers and their "it's slow 'cause the apps don't scroll as fast as an iPad" crapola.

What's funny is for the most part the Xoom browser scrolls faster than the iPad's browser. Even the iPad 2 has the checkerboarding everywhere when you scroll.

Micro lag

Does the one who has s2 still experiencing micro lag or is it ios wp7 fluid? My phone hopefully arriving 7 may
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

I had a quick go on this today and it is fluid and smooth. As fluid as WP7 id say, and WP7 is smooooooth!

Got widgets galore, loads of apps on and running, fancy live wallpaper and its still sooo smooth.

Tried other launchers?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

Micro lag?! Jesus wept...

What do you mean by lag? The delay between your input and the action occurring or the smoothness of the UI? Android has never been as "responsive" as iOS or WP7 in terms of pinch-zooming and flicking up and down lists but it's usually faster at opening/switching applications. The animations can be smooth with Android, but if you try pinch-zooming on the iPhone or a WP7 phone you'll notice that it directly tracks your fingers and zooms instantly and smoothly, while Android will have an ever so slight delay between your finger movements and the zoom actually happening.
I don't have this phone (yet) but it looks to be the "smoothest" and "fastest" android phone out there, but it's still not as good at finger tracking as iOS or WP7. I get the feeling this is due to the UI not being GPU accelerated because of different hardware between phones, whereas iOS and WP7s are standardized.

I can safely say this phone has no lag/latency/delay between input and response even with 5 screens full of widgets and bucket-loads of background apps.

Micro lag??? What's next nano lag???

i'll also say what others have said. its freaking smooth. even SPB shell runs smoothly with multiple app running in the background.and it initially loads in less then 4 sec.

Is this the case after heavy use and many installed applications? I'm sure it is but many phones only show signs of lag after it has been used and has many applications installed.

I've had the phone for two days now and I think if you have had an android device before... you know that annoying stutter you would get when installing apps from market regardless of what was running etc etc.... This phone does not slow down at all I installed like 80+ apps yesterday and not once did I have to wait on the phone to catch up which even on my s1 I would experience delays...

Nope, the browser on nexus s pretty much sucks, unless you are using opera mobile you will probably be dissapointed coming from the iphone.
Web pages based mostly on text (like forums, or mobile versions of certain sites) will work well and will load faster then iOS, but pages like engadget with a lot of pictures will be laggy when scrolling through them.

There are some rumours about a new nexus with a dual core coming soon, it's best to wait. I recently flashed windows phone mango beta to my brother phone it's really good, better check that out too.

I'm Korean and I heard from korean website, next nexus will be made by Samsung and its project name is 'Prime'. But they said it will be released in 4Q so I don't think I can wait till that time.
I personally love WP OS(Mango as well) but next WP device will come out sooner than next Nexus device so.. I do not want to get 1st gen WP7 Device.

Better Gmail and Google integration, which is good for me because I use lots of Google services.
Free mobile hotspot.
Don't have to plug phone in to computer for anything ever, so no need to spend 4 hours syncing with iTunes etc.
Those are the major benefits for me of Nexus over iPhone.

you don't have a choice man, there's no fix for it. Opera is really smooth, and makes stock browser even worse when compared. if you don't want to use another browser than stock, i recommend you stay on iphone, really! for me, nexus s is a perfect phone, really love it, but browser experience with stock browser is a shame!
btw, the possibility to use another app by default is a great feature of android devices! why don't use it?! =o)

How smooth is it?

The only reason why I would switch to a Nexus S is because it is easy to root and there are many different roms out for it. Otherwise if you're not that much into that stuff then stick with the iphone.
custom roms can be buggy at times and you have to be down with tinkering with your phone.
iphone battery life > Nexus S, well that's what everything thinks anyways, im not 100 % sure lol.
Browser on Nexus is laggy compared to the iphone. opera is good but sometimes it doesnt load up the page for me. stock browser is all around the best IMO. But the iphone doesnt play flash so thats the trade off. I dont are for flash but its worth pointing that out.

If you have the posibility to try it for a few days then do it. Im sure you will be pleased with it, its just that things aren't as smooth as in iOS since we have no graphic accleretation yet, its coming in the next update.

Rubbish phone

I've had this phone for just over 2 weeks and it's utter garbage. Everything runs so slow, there is always a delay when opening messages and other apps. I've had 2 random reboots. I'm coming from a HTC one that is what 2 years old and that baby was sweet as a nut butter smooth. Are there any new updates coming out to make this phone run faster

So get rid of it. Everyone else seem to be pretty positive, including me.

Try the J firmware.

If you can you should return it, if you can't, root and reduce the DPI 560 seems sweet. Also use a different launcher and keyboard. That will remove most of the lag, but not all.

The phone is not rubbish, LGs software and "configuration" on the other hand is a bit over aggressive:
- thermal throttling kicks in too early in my opinion (play a game for a few minutes and frames start dropping like crazy due to the processor being capped). the phone isn't that hot either - considering my N5 reaches temperatures where it feels a lot warmer than this and seems to not cap the speed that aggressively;
- there is a lot of useless software from LG running (updates, smart stay, quiet hours, bla bla bla) which eats up memory, processor usage, etc.
- be careful if you have an sd card in it (I had an old card in it and everything was twice as sluggish);
- avoid power management / battery monitoring tools (using GSAM battery monitor in my experience seemed to keep the phone awake more then it should resulting in earlier thermal throttling).
Ways to improve performance:
- keep the software that you need active (give up unnecessary widgets, services, syncs). keep only to the ones you need;
- try the phone without a sd card;
- try to keep it as cool as possible so it runs cool and doesn't throttle performance;
- (advanced) root ... and get rid of useless junk ...
- (advanced / risky) disable throttling and other safety features ...

I've changed keyboard

I'm loving it. Phone of the year. The m8's got a crappy camera and too much bezel, the s5... Well, it's the s5. Sony, yeah Sony, great contestant. Doesn't have the style, the flare tho. No nanny Fine finesse.
Different strokes for different folks, eh.

The phone is indeed rubbish:
- crappy laggy LG software. No match to Google's Android.
- bleak washed out colors of LG IPS screen
- over sharpening
- crappy over sensitive Knock wake up

Well surely there was no need to open yet another thread again, but his opinion is also an opinion. That might help ppl to decide thier purchase. And i do agree with him, g3 is a crappy device

Not rubbish @ all

Seriously...
I've had the M8, Nexus 5, Note 2, Galaxy S4...
I only miss the Nexus 5 a bit, for the ROMS of course. This G3 is awesome, Rooted + xposed, patiently waiting for the Devs to crack open the bootloader, or bypass.
Rubbish? Na, Great phone, could be better?, yes, not perfect, but not rubbish @ all.

Nothing dumb about it. The phones software is poor FACT

You guys should yell at a camera for 10 minutes just like what Adam Outler did. You'd really get your point across about how "horribly" bad of a phone this is.

Its not rubbish phone, its rubbish user. I experience no lag at all even with dalvik even tho my eyes are really sensitive to fps since I play PC games, so maybe you should just get an iPhone and stay a noob. Goodluck

Everything lags lol every software no matter how many cores you have will lag, it all depends on the code. So when I say " lag free" I mean no unnecessary lag
