Yeah they suck stock..
Who here isn't going to root it and install a custom rom though.
The phone itself is pretty damn good.

yeah moto stuff is pretty locked down..
they cracked the atrix though
A Friend of mine here got one.
On Stock, it really sux, but the last update removed all the "Blur" crap.
The Kernel can be Unlocked also, and there is a few custom roms (But a good part doesn't recognise the Dock OR the fingerprint sensor).
If i was you, i would wait sometime. Nexus Prime and a few other phones are about to be launched. (And speaking frankly. The Motorola design trully sux, lol)

I agree with lord Baal here, but the atrix is great if your with ATT, you need a updated phone now, and it has a very low price at the moment if your ready for an upgrade.
The phone itself is very fast once modded. Look at my cm7 pics in my profile of the atrix in my profile. I have some stats ran by cf-bench that are amazing and pass a sgs2 if your running cm7 beta.
I believe the atrix is right next to the sgs2 in every category. Don't count this phone out. I would of waited for something better but my x10 was too slow for school things I had to do so I bought the atrix. I am glad I did.

Seriously, I just started to play with it as this is my first forray into the Android, I decided not to ROOT the phone. I wanted to get to know the unit first *STOCK* and then decided if ROOTING is necessary or not... Mostly just exploring the phone and getting used to Android... Enjoy!

this is something that everyone should do with new phones, IMO (mostly noobs to the android environment). people are quick to root just because they see everyone else doing it.

Agreed. When I first got my Captivate, which was my first excursion into Android land, I ran it stock for about a month before I rooted and modded. That showed a bit of restraint, too, because the Captivate did have some serious problems on stock, ie. lag, gps, etc. On the SGS II running stock is a great experience with no serious problems.
Agreed, just use the phone as is, ask questions, learn how things work, experiment with different applications, widgets, settings, etc. Only after you've fully exhausted the possibilities of what comes stock with the phone and determined that you really need a feature that it doesn't provide should you consider rooting and all that. In short, don't try to change what you don't fully understand yet.

Same. The thing is, I actually kind of like the TouchWiz. I don't really like the aesthetics and the lock screen is terribly crappy, but I don't want to sacrifice everything else just to get a different lock screen and better looking icons.
I would have also liked that CRT animation...

Hey, welcome to the GSII and good choice in phone picking! The first thing I did was root, change out the keyboard skin and added some new notification tones because the stock ones suck.

Good thing it has gorilla glass on it then.
I used it for a bit, was unhappy with battery life. So I rooted via Entropy's stock+root package, de-bloated it via Titanuim Backup, and am enjoying it with better battery life.
Waiting for Words to become battery friendly...
Came to the s2 from the moto backflip. I would root that phone and play around with it now that it just sits but can't find the forum for it here. Lol

Actually, there are ROMs that are based on stock. I didn't know that until now...used CM7 on my Captivate and wished there was a combination of the aesthetics of TW and the speed and functionality of CM7.
UnNamed ROM is an excellent TouchWiz-based custom ROM. There are custom mods for the lock screen (a notification toggle flash that includes a toggle for lockscreen), and some different mods for certain icons, I believe (Kitchen?).
UnNamed ROM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299474

I was wondering if anyone on here installed Swype Beta? It's supposed to fix a few things that I have gripes with. http://beta.swype.com/
Here was a good thread on how to do it to a Galaxy S. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154334 Must be rooted.
Swype sucks. Try this. I have not had a single issue on the Photon

I did it once based on information found here somewhere. I found the beta was quite a bit heavier than the stock though.

I agree on not liking swype at first. But then I got bored and wanted something different so I gave it a shot and I've grown to like it. However when I discovered htc's keyboard has the swype feature swype got used less and less.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
This version of htc's swipe works much better than the original from sense 3. And hell, probably better than swype, which has gone to crap. Plus when you want to type normally, this destroys swype
i always use swype since my dell streak 5, and how stupid im that untill today i even didnt knew htc had swype to on my evo....lol...and its really cool.atleast keys r more bigger thn swype.
you're not alone my friend, even i didnt know we had swype. Infact i still cant seen to find it -_-
I knew my orig stock ROM (sense 3) has this feature, but I've never been able to get it work (turned on trace typing but never seen the yellow trace). Which language you are using?

I waited and waited. Thought about rooting and using a ROM before the official ICS update came from AT&T but just decided to wait. Finally got the update via Kies, excited like a school girl. Initially it was a cool new bit of scenery, and as the OS settled in with me, i found myself disappointed and wanting my gingy back. I've been upgrade for a couple months now i think, and had plenty of time to try to get used to it.
I am finding lots of things that just plain suck.
1 - Text message notification audible alert discontinues after awhile (unknown amount of time), only resolution I've found is to reboot the phone. This sucks because just out of nowhere my text notification tone stops. Everything else like ringtone etc is fine. This is a dealbreaker for me almost. This worked fine on Ginerbread.
2 - new Swype software gives me problems when the word suggestion feature stops working completely. Swype is hard to do without word suggestions at times. Only solution i've found is again, reboot the phone. This sucks. I know, don't use swype, but i WANT to use it. It worked perfectly on Gingerbread.
3 - the widget for Google Voice is super tiny now, and i don't see a way of making it bigger. It's approximately the size of 4 icons, whereas before on Gingerbread it was huge and you could easily read/see your voicemails. Maybe i'm missing something on how to change the widget size, but i see no way of doing it.
4 - my News and Weather widget, which i used for weather and news all the time, since my original Galaxy S, does not display any weather information anymore. Just says "No Weather Information". this worked fine on Gingerbread. I guess different phone OS makes widgets work differently. I just want mine to work as expected. News still comes through fine though.
5 - Unlocking the screen seems more difficult now, usually takes me a couple tries, whereas it seemed really smooth and awesome before the update
6 - Power Saving widget is huge now, takes up half of one screen, whereas before it was just 1 row and you could scroll across. Why make it bigger and take up more room with no additional functionality?
After listing all this out, i'm trying to think of the things i LIKE about ICS update, and i can only think of one, which is the data monitoring/limiting which is kind of a cool feature. I doesn't seem any faster really than before. So overall, i honestly was happier with Gingerbread. 6 things that i find that suck versus one thing i like.
Maybe this is me being picky, but as excited as I was to get ICS, i'm equally disappointed in the upgrade. My wife uses a Galaxy Note and it is available for her phone now, and I told her don't bother with the upgrade.
Anyone have any advice??? experience the same problems? I know i could root, install a custom rom etc, but i really like the touchwiz stuff from samsung and i was really happy with just the stock gingerbread OS, even with all the bloatware, i just disregard all that junk.
I'm having the same problem with text notification I just notice that I get a text it would sound but just about an hour ago it just stopped I would get a text and nothing ringtones works and everyrhing but I think is a ics bug maybe it would get fixed in the new update 4.0.4

at&t sucks. bottom line.
Advice, if you want to stick with touchjizz, run a custom one, there are plenty that *should* have those issues taken care of.
But the widget size issue, thats just looks, with a different launcher can change size of widgets.
Lol I called this one. A bunch of people upgrade to stock ICS. Then they complain and want to switch back, mess it up, and start new threads. Hopefully they all learned their lesson about carrier upgrades . I mean even I tried it, just to see what it looked like and how it functioned. Then again I knew how to get back to a custom Rom Before I did it. It's actually not too bad, but there were just too many bugs and battery life was too bad for my taste.

It isn't 100% on all phones it seems to be random but instead of posting something VERY VERY risky for people not so inclined to troll the forums and find out about the risks of certain actions why not shut up or post what you think will work then link them to a topic showing what bad could happen. You just seem like you want people to brick and make more topics about how they tried to reset and bricked. You also need to think of Google searches that link to this topic and they read it and see you said reset and they do it. It isn't just xda its anyone with the internet don't lead people to a possible brick

The only way to go "back" to Gingerbread is to flash UCKH7 straight stock or one of the Gingerbread stock plus root packages in Entropy512's thread. So yes, use that, or one of my guides.
