I haven't turned mine on in a month. So it's working about as well as could be expected

I've had mine for 8 months. Running the Beasty/Clemsyn Ultimate Froyo rom. Loving it. I use it several hours a day, no real issues to speak of. I am NOT a gamer, so don't experience any issues (if there are any) related to gaming. I use it for web, email, video chat (skype), videos, and some music.
I'm satisfied with it.

I've had mine for a few months and use it in place of a computer 90% of the time.

If you are coming from a dell seak 7, you should watch some gtablet videos on youtube getting one, compare and decide.

Just got mine back from a droid service person I know. He did the upgrade to gingerbread. NOW I really love my g tab. Very nice upgrade.

[Q] Is there any way to video chat with the Atrix?

Tango and Fring both die if I try to video chat with them.
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-review
This review of the Atrix mentions video chatting. What are they talking about? How did they do it?
And is there something that will let me video chat with iPhone 4s?
for now QIK seems to work between my girlfriend's atrix and my evo.
TANGO was the only way to video call an iphone, but I'd expect a software fix too.
Isn't there a Qik on the iPhone?
i am pretty upset about this too. went out and bought the wife an iPhone 4 lastnight and 2 weeks ago got myself an atrix. come to find out this isnt possible.
i wish there was a simple hack to allow facetime on the Atrix or something.. this serious sucks.
This is a lil annoying I've been carrying around my iphone 4 with me as well to fill my non video chat void.
Qik now supports iphone (see qik.com/video/100699 and qik.com/phones). Let us know if you can video chat Atrix to iphone with it. I'd be curious to know that it works okay. (Also, Skype bought Qik recently.)
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Qik seems to be the best option right now and it did have an Iphone client at one point.
Until Skype opens up video calls on the android platform, not much can be done.
This purely sux. My wife has iphone 4 and I sold my iphone 4 to get atrix. Now I cannot do video at all.

nvm i didnt read
yeah.. i'm waiting for something to happen to this too. I heard the Tango owners are workign on .. :T
ohnoez! muh fays timzes is borked!!!11!1!!111juan!!
>insert threads to say people are returning the atrix cause it cant video chat yet<
but seriously, people this phone isnt even a month old yet. do you think apps just magically work? Developers have to take time to bugfix per device. I am sure Tango is diligently working on a fix. As for now I qik'd with a buddy on an evo and plan on testing it with an iphone tmw.
Yahoo
Yahoo Messenger supports video chat (with iPhones).
The problem with the android client is lack of support for front facing camera.. which sorta defeats the purpose, I suppose.
That is, unless I am missing something, of course.
Edit:
Apparently if you open the camera app and change it to front facing, you can do front facing video calls.
i was thinking of getting the atrix because of the front cam. i would be disappointed to find out that yahoo im video didnt work. i hope yahoo im gets updated for the atrix.
So Qik Plus was released for iPhone. It's $2.99 on app store.
Articles around the net say the Qik for Atrix should work with Qik Plus for iPhone. But when I dial my fiancees iPhone it says we have incompatible versions. Both are most recent version.
Her phone is on iOS 4.2.1 not 4.3, wondering if that could be the issue. Otherwise I'm not sure what's up.

Personally, I'm using Tango on my Atrix to my girlfriend on an iPhone. Mostly, it works. Occasional audio dropouts, but usually pretty good.
Not sure why everyone's saying Tango doesn't work?
Because apple does facetime and there really is no standard for video chat, we will probably get to deal with these problems for a while.

I read the "requirements" for the app on iTunes and said it was compatible with iPhone, iPod, and iPad. So that probably means there isn't going to be cross-platform support

Is there anyone who can confirm this works? My fiancée has an iPhone 4 and I would gift her the app so we can actually video chat.
Maybe they will update to add compatibility with atrix because qik for atrix is still fairly new.
I downloaded Tango and it seems to be working ok. Sometimes one persons audio won't come through, but not bad for a free app.

This is the debate that never ends, but my two cents: Honeycomb is great on the Flyer. You won't notice the loss of the capacitive buttons, and the on screen buttons will soon seem natural.
Plus, the ability to use the pen in any application is great, as is the superior handling of bluetooth keyboards (if you ever find yourself using one).
I'm 100% pro Honeycomb on the Flyer.
How do you plan to use it? For games honeycomb status bar don't go away. Many have complained of accidentally touching it during game play and losing their work. Also, if you use kindle and/or nook app, the honeycomb bar also don't go way. Therefore, you lose screen restate. In other words, if you need the maximum amount of space DON'T UPGRADE TO HONEYCOMB

LOL.

I upgraded, and found I missed the phone ability. I'm now running leeDroid's HC and am a happy camper again. The loss of BT phone isn't a huge deal for me, as I only plan to use the phone part while traveling overseas and speakerphone is fine.
But aside from the phone, HC is a thing of beauty on the Flyer.
Ill upgrade when more apps are HC/ICS friendly. I use the Flyer for movies and occasionally for notes. Currently HBOGO's lack of compatibility is keeping me from upgrading.

I've found a few apps that hide, for lack of a better term, from me in the Market. Most seem to have been uploaded here, so they don't stay hidden long. But it can be a little annoying. Fortunately, since we can download from here directly onto the phone memory, it's only 1 additional hoop to jump through.

I'm getting bored of my phone... what do you recommend?

I've been getting bored with my phone, not because its a older phone now but it just doesn't have that fun factor it had when I first got it.
Are there any new apps that make your phone exciting? I find myself doing the same thing over and over, go into the 9gag app look at memes, read the news a bit, go on xda, text etc.
Get an android tablet and root it. Thats what I did after getting tired of messing with this phone.

I always keep looking for random games. Sometimes go back for old ones and replay haha. Glad there's still development going on for this phone. Trying to hold out for that gs3
Glad to see xrider and mrrobc still hanging in the vibrant forums. But honestly no matter what device you use you will get bored of it eventually. I have 6 devices most do the same thing.
However what I enjoy is HDMI my fave games like mc3 to my bigscreen with surround sound. To me its way more challenging to any console I've played.

I bought a transformern too. Prime is full of bugs with crappy GPS and wifi (you have to be nearly sitting on top of your router) and ICS is extremely buggy. The Prime was nothing more than ASUS getting the Tegra3 chip out before anyone else, but with massive sacrifices.
Manus - PMe me when you get yours and I will get you some link to rooting and recovery. There are 3 different ways depending on your build number.

How about an obscure body in the S-K System? You can play with it awhile...before annihilation.
@ woodrube thanks man no doubt I saw that a lot of people said the original was better than the prime and I was able to get the 32 gb version for 399 on best buy.

You could flash MIUI, which has tons of themes avadible. Plus if you dont like having any launcher, you could just install one from the market.

I've had plenty of phones, I most recently had a Galaxy Note and an iPhone 5 and I've made the move to a Lumia 920 and I am very happy with the decision. No matter what device or platform you choose there will always be pros and cons. Windows Phone is quick, simple and stable, I enjoy the UI, theres a lot to like here. You won't get the customization you get with Android. I've been using iPhones since the original and I was ready to try something different and I'm glad I did.

hi everyone,
i am also looking at moving to the nokia 920 it looks amazing. and i want something new, i am over the iphone's and andriods but i have a few questions.
i am an avid video watcher on my train rides into work and comic book reader. I am curious, do i need to convert my movies to the what ever format windows 8 movie format ? how easy is it to sync data with your workstation ? i am trying to find out about more but having a lot of trouble finding out info on windows 8 mobile, any feedback would be great.
Don't know about the sync question but my Windows 7 machine automatically converted vob files before transferring to the phone and wmv and mp4 pay just fine.

It's my media player first . Music, games, everything! Only qualm is that the music app loads up slowly and lags on my Lumia 920 - that, and DrawSomething. Everything else works like a charm.
Contacts
I am just wondering ......how do you transfer all the contacts from Google to Windows 8 phone
Ive moved from Android (galaxy nexus) to Lumia 920. So far pretty good. Really enjoying it. The music app isn't that great (troubles syncing in Win8, no search function). Needs a little more work/features
The battery life I think is actually pretty decent. Standby time is amazing!
Facebook app isn't very good.. Hopefully this gets updated

Contact sync is easy since MS sort of integrated it into the OS. Just create a Google account using your Google login and all your contacts will sync.
