Just got my Atrix this morning..and am loving how blazing fast it really is. This thing has more horse power than any phone I have ever owned..
I'm coming from a tricked out Captivate OC/UV to 1.3 and it pales by comparison..
I'm not just talking benchmarks....but while watching full hd movies..I can pause and fast forward right to where I slide it without any hesitation at all...no pixelation..no stalls..no FC's...no lag at all...I love it..
I don't have it rooted yet..and no custom rom yet..have to wait out the return period first..just in case it goes bonkers..but I gotta say...anyone on the fence about getting it..you really need to look at one..
I can't wait till I get to oc/uv this one..just to see how much smoother it really can be..

Well..I'm down to 85% in 4 hours of heavy usage...lots of game playing...watching movies..calling folks..and downloading apps..
I'm 100% straight stock right now anyway..don't know if this is normal for these phones or not...but I ain't complaining any about it..

Just ran across your post and thought I'd share my impressions on the battery. I just picked up my atrix last week after returning my infuse 4g. My battery is a beast; this morning I pulled it off the charger at 8am and now its 1:46am...I am still at 50%. I am a heavy user and I am definitely surprised how long the battery last me. I am also 100% stock running gingerbread. (Also have juice defender running). If I had my infuse still and pulled it off the charger at 8am it would hit the 50% mark by 12pm.

If you like it now, you are going to LOVE it after you take time to mod it.
But then again - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I've also got to chime in and say this is the best stock android battery experience I've ever had. Lasts all day with moderate usage, with over 60% when I go to bed at night. Even with heavy usage I'm not running low. I don't plug it in at work like I would my nexus one, and I only charge it in the car if I'm running navigation.

That's kinda wild. Many have complained about the big dropoff in battery life with Gingerbread compared to Froyo.
Interesting that a couple others here seem happy with battery life on GB too...

Well...considering I was getting fair life with my Captivate...this one just blows it out of the water...so I think I am getting pretty good stats so far...
I had 9 hours of showing this thing off...I watched 1/2 of Transformers in HD...made 5 phone calls..8 text messages..downloaded 8 programs..played 3 different games and surfed the internet for about 20 minutes..and I am at 60%...so...I guess it's way above average... ?
I'll charge it back up..and see if I get the same amount tonight at work...but I got to say...Moto did right on this one for me..and I am loving it...All the guys at work are miffed...only 2 said I should have held off for the SGSII...and I just laughed...
Mac
With all the complaining going on, it's always nice to see people that have everything working and working well.
I am personally extremely satisfied with my self modded stock 2.3.4. The only thing that kind of annoys me is occasional lag of Motoblur. I might just try the Touchwiz port posted somewhere around here while I wait for CM7 final.
Go and install CM7 beta - you'll **** your self with how fast it is.

I'd laugh too, the SGSII apparently has absolutely atrocious battery life. They put it up next to an Infuse 4G with similar usage and such and the Infuse 4G took the cake. I think the Infuse's battery life is horrid, if the SGSII is worse I'll stick with my 30+ hour Atrix!!
Great to hear you guys are enjoying your new Atrices! As for me, i got mine the first day it came out luckily since everyone was so hesitant on getting it! As for the battery life, when i first got it, i would get 16+ hours on heavy phone usage over 8+ hours and with continuous wifi and data when i wasn't in the house.
Only when i started messing around with it by flashing different psuedo-roms did i notice that the battery life was shortened dramatically, so heads up to you new guys, dont forget to wipe your battery stats everytime you flash a new rom!

Got an Infuse and loved the size of the screen.
Had it for a few weeks and thought the size began to become annoying for things like my car cradle, pocket, etc. but I thought it was neat.
Wife's upgrade become available and she didn't like the size of the Infuse, so I told her to get an Atrix cause of the power (was Infuse, Atrix or Inspire and the Atrix made the most sense).
We got the wife's phone on Thursday. I went home, got her a different launcher, set up the stuff she would like on her phone, etc. She loved it. So did I.
It made my Infuse feel like it was running in slow motion. I played with my wife's phone for literally 20-30 minutes setting it up for her.
The next day, as soon as I got off work, I took mine back (had a week left in my 30 days), got my Atrix and (after having to take it back and get a replacement as my first one rebooted constantly) haven't looked back.
I can't believe this thing.
I was talking with a couple guys at work that had them..they got them when they first come out...they had battery issues too..but..I have had other phones with bad batteries before...and just this year .and went through 2 on my Captivate and a new charger...so..If you got one that the battery doesn't last long on..go get a new battery for it..Many folks over look this..and blame custom roms or the phones themselves for bad battery life..Just a FYI for those who have had bad luck with them..

I recently bought a used Atrix and it had 2.3.4 already installed on it. Coming from a Captivate, I was immediately impressed with the blazing speed of the device. The first day, I ran the phone hard. After 14-hours it was down to about 20%. The display had been on for over 3-hours and I had more than 2-hours of phone calls.
Simply awesome. BL is unlocked and rooted but rom is stock.

Hi there,
I bought a Galaxy S3 in the beginning of July and it's been great. Everything running smoothly, no problems whatsoever, excellent battery life. I've been getting 10 hours or more most days - I could not have been happier.
The phone is exactly as I bought it from the shop, with the exception that I'm running Nova launcher instead of the stock launcher.
However, The phone downloaded an update in early August and since then I've been having problems. The phone is running as normal, then, for no apparent reason it gets insanely hot, seriously, I could probably iron a shirt with it if I wanted. This appears to drain the battery completely and the phone shuts down within an hour.
This is only happening since the phone downloaded the latest update, it never happened before that. Yesterday it didn't happen, I got the full day out of my phone, unplugged it at 8am and didn't have to plug it in until near 9pm. But most other days the phone is getting really hot at some stage between 11am and 1pm and the battery is dead within the hour. I haven't installed any new apps since before the last update.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be?? If you need any more information please let me know.
I'm running Android 4.0.4
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Its possible that ota update is not so good at it seems like and when you have running apps in background ( i assume). If i get your post correctly i asume that its ota update that causes your problems (correct me if im wrong) for more help go to s3 forums since this isnt s3 forum but samsung galaxy 3 one

Oh right, S3 again. And I was already wondering how the G3 could heat up that much by it's own components^^
Nevertheless I would recommend whereismydroidpower app.
oops! sorry guys, will repost.
thanks for the advice.
Hey all!
Yesterday I acquired an s6 edge plus through Verizon. I've noticedone almost immediately that it gets very warm. I checked the temperatures and at its hottest it was at about 170 degrees farenheit. I haven't gotten any overheating warning messages and it hasn't shut off, but obviously I paid a pretty penny for this bad boy so I'm a little concerned. Any input would be great. I'm also attaching a screenshot of what seems to be the normal use operating temperatures.
Thanks guys!

Mine keeps fairly cool. Didn't notice any head yet. Well... while installing all my apps a little bit but that's just normal like on any other device.
I suggest you return your device to get a replacement.
I know... that's not what you want to hear. It sucks.
No heat at all on my phone literally at all I had it on fast wireless charge for hours too didn't heat up at all. Much better than my note 4
Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
If it's brand new there's usually a hell of a lot of activity with updates and media scanners, installations and wot not. It will get very hot during this time. Give it a day to settle down. Mine got warm at this point and now fine.
Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
i've played a few games, had multi-tasking a lot and didn't notice any "overheating" only the normal temp
Thanks for the input guys. Today it seems to be just fine. I restarted it last night and it has been good ever since. Maybe I'm just worrying about nothing. I just do not want anything to happen to my baby
I also had my s6 edge + get very hot and wondered why no shutdown or warning.
Well I'm a little concerned about mine, I was playing a simple game, and after that I went to a program the temperature it's around 55 Celsius on the cpu isn't that to much? And the battery around 36

That is good news. If it starts to happen again, maybe check your battery stats to see what programs are using the most battery. It might help you figure a particular app that might be hammering the CPU.
The last thing I would do is a factory reset; after which wait a day or so for everything to settle down, and if you are still having that problem take it back.
Hello thes will be a long story so get ready to read it all if you want to help!
First let me start with the day i bought this phone. Okay it was sth like 21 dec and i bought it. The thing is that i am really crazy about installing custom roms and stuff on my phone. So i bought this N910C with the home that i wont do anything because its price in my country(Bulgaria) is basically the same as it was a year ago, saying it is expensive and i wont dare to do anything with it because i will loose the warranty. We here receive new tech later. Okay, im lusing the point.
Well by the title you know... i did not just something but many things... one week later i was annoyed of the laggy old Touchwiz for the Note 4 and decided - I will do it no matter what. So i looked up the xda site, found my model and then installed recoveru and curtom ron (Sixperience v4 or v5). So everything was smooth but i started to get more curious about other roms. Then started surching and then installing new one almost once in a day. I tried the Dytto, CM13, CM12.1, lollinox, Wanam lite, Sixperience, ERobot.
Okay and after 2 and a half weeks things started getting weird af. Well back to this day i was with Sixperience and it had that weird bug with random restarting just you know because bugs. And IThought that with new rom it will get this thing out. But guess what... i installed maybe Erobot again (i dont really remember which is sh i t because it is important but its been a while).
So then it was all okay, for couple of hours i was watching youtube videos, browsing the net but the battery ran out of juice so as im suposed to do i plugged the charger. Then i left the phone and went to bad because it was like 1 am.
And then W T F... Im the mornig i woke up and started browsing trough facebook fast beause u had to get up to school. My classmate came and i unplugged...Making2posts

So i went to school. In the breaktime i got my phone to surf the web a bit and i saw it bootlooping and it was hot af... so i thought well maybe the rom didnt install properly.
After school i tried installing another rom but the same problem... Then i got back to stock from sammobike.com software and odin 3.9.sth. And nothing this problem again.
The really f'd thing is that it is working properly when im charging it like on cable always working with no probem. Also with an expernal battery pack.
So my question is Whyy.... And can you help me to fix it... I'll respond to every question you guys ask... Just cant live with my phone wrapped in cable and like old cable phone. And by the way... yes i tried different original battery and it isn't working too.
Also another weird things. Now there isn't a bootloop but only 3 sec working off the charger then get in sth like restart... I mean showing samsung galaxy note 4 logo and the it is turning completely off... even not showing the boot animation.
And by the way sorry if i have mistakes but im writing fast. I hope you will understand the most.
Thanks for reading that long post!
Hey all!
I have a serious predicament with my phone situation. Currently i own an iPhone 5s that im getting rid of, i have an Old LG 2 (VZW Edition unlocked) with a cracked screen that i can fix for $100.
My question is, is it worth it for me to fix the LG G2 for $100..or should i just buy a different flagship device thats newer...say from 2014 or 2015.
Any help would be so appreciated..

A new phone would be better but like you my phone was broken for a a year and I only got it repaired a week go and I must say despite advances in Camera I'm honestly loving this phone it is still super fast and the battery is amazing. People at school are still asking me what phone this is and say the phone looks fresh. I'm currently on CM12 but having trouble to get to CM13 but I seem to be like the only person.

I really can't afford anything too new right now, and i dont do a whole lot of stuff on my phone, just need a good stable device that is still fast for web browsing, email and some light games. And i also remember this phone having amazing battery life, something i dont have with this damn iphone 5s..
I bought the LG G2 in 2014, summer, and i broke it probably a month after i bought it. Do you think the battery may have degraded over time? it took a LONG time for me to get it to 95% charge last night..over 5 hours. Is this normal for the G2?
Thanks for your response!

Okay I kept charging my phone when it was broken but Yes the battery could have degraded cause mine has but I'm still getting good battery life.
I would normally switch to Aeroplane mode when I go to school and my battery would remain on 100% until i put mobile data on and start using the phone if I listen to music at school and play the odd game ( Drift Zone 2 is my fav right now ) It will still last me the whole day until I get home and I will put it on charge at 10 or 11 depending on how heavy I use it when I'm home.
I suggest finding some way to see how the battery is performing and if everything is good then I would replace the screen and use the phone.
It really is still a great phone for what you would want it for. Its fast with all tasks and can still handle games. For me The only downfall is the camera. I think it is outdated but that would only be a problem if you are crazy about taking photos.
