i was willing to buy the Atrix 4g for its dualcore beast and right now we hav 3 of that kind. Can anybody suggest the best one out of the Three???
SGS 2. 'nuff said.
thread closed.
for $800 it better wipe your a$$.
-i have heard disappointing reviews on the camera, wifi, touchwiz, build quality, samsung updates(though motorola is bad with bell users).
-i wouldnt buy an LG as they have no solid track record and too many complaints to list
-atrix has its fair share of problems primarily the bootloader and camera isnt the greatest.
Anyone else kinda disappointed by this new generation of dual cores as a whole?
Nope i love my sg2 much more than my atrix!

if i could atleast have it in my hand and it was $150 or more less I would definitely consider it.
Having both devices, what are the benefits of sgs2? Be as unbiased as possible please.
where did u buy the S2?
People harp on about the SG2 being all plasticy, but compared to the atrix it feels much more solid. the case shell on the atrix creaks whenever i hold it, whether that be age 'wear and tear' or what not.
i find the camera to be much better than the atrix
the screen is much better on the SG2 but thats personal choice
i do miss quirky features such as the fingerprint reader and webtop but thats about it. Everything else the SG2 does the same if not better. Even in stock form, no mods comparing the two it becomes much greater. as gingerblur fixed alot of problems (motoblur!)
saying that, the Atrix is still the 2nd best device i had!
my 2 cents

handtec, got it sent from UK to AUS in 4 days!
Sorry. but f**k the Galaxy S II! The Galaxy S I9000 was soooooooo much better. From what ive heard, the Optimus 2X has really good build quality. But yeah they have a terrible track record, usually they make products with crappy quality. The Atrix is sweet but the locked bootloader and the fact that we have to wait for Motorola for updates; that drags it down.
1) Moto Atrix
2) LG Optimus 2X
3) Galaxy S II

So guys....I just want a nice cellphone. I don't care for root and stuff. So, I guess the atrix will be fine for me right?
Do the G2x and S2 have been unlocked yet?
ty vm and sry about my english, Im trying to improve
If you want the best everyday phone I would buy the atrix battery last a day or more!

LOL @ the guy who said the phone creaks in his hand. that is such utter LIES.
In any case, Samsung has a pretty horrible track record with the i9000 quality. Just look up i9000m internal SD on google and have fun sorting through that mess.. A phone that just auto nukes its internal SD whenever it wants.
As for the Atrix it has IMO an amazing screen (which you can use at full brightness) at little penatly on the giant battery.
If you wanna save battery and use juice defender the max I have gotten out of it before dying is 56 hours.... on a single charge.
So yeah.
Thanks for all the suggestion guys.. The Quadrant benchmarks of samsung galaxy sII ended up being something like around 3500 which is the heighest till date...atrix is around 2700 i guess...any comments on this fact??
Things aren't perfect with the SG2 there's the:
1. Heat dissipation issues were people are already returning their phones just for that alone.

2. WiFi Issues

I'm not going to say which phone is better since they All 3 phones have their issues, but it's also interesting to watch people dropping $750-$1000 already thinking the SG2 will be the perfect device. (yes there's no perfect device blah blah blah...)
Anywhoo... For the record, I'm not totally trilled with the Atrix at this moment either. I've also thought about switching to the SG2 already myself, but IMO it's too high of a price tag to give it a chance right now.
The bottom line, there really isn't really a clear cut winner...
hmm i have an atrix 4g, simunlocked from att, i had issues with wifi in my country, now that i managed to fix it and am running gingerblur, im very happy with the phone, however the case really is squeaking (back when i was in the US i had another atrix4g which i went to replace cuz the fingerprint scanner locked up occasionally, that one had perfect build quality, this one just squeaks at the top, and she cover shell is somehow too big for it...) and the locked bootloader is really annoying me, the screen is very good in my opinion. If i would be buying one of the phones now i would go with the LG i think (my main reasons: tegra2, unlocked bootloader, proper support), as to the sgs2 its too big in my opinion (seriously hwo needs a 4.3" phone, even the 4" are too big kind of - id prefer a 3.8"/3.7" like the original htc desire, but noone makes high end phones with that screen size..). Cant say much more about the sgs2, as that it doesnt have tegra2 which i prefer over other dualcore ARM based chips right now. Atrix has way better hardware specs than the LG tho: more ram, more flash, better battery, webtop, fingerprint scanner - love that one lol, the only worser spec is the camera on the atrix. so go figure For stock use the Atrix would be the best ithink

How did you manage to fix the wifi issues?
used other drivers for the wifi, the stock ones from motorola are missing my country ROFL, retards at moto. im trying to get a UK /system dump or at least the wifi drivers to test them out.

e-penis is big enough.
why not htc hd2 .......its the better device
just kiding xD...but I have one now , just sold my atrix, I will try lg and SGS2
IF you want test...why you don't bought 2 and return to the store the phone you don't like it
I see many opnions.....and many FANS off samsung, lg and motorola
soo, if you want the opinion...ask in xda general not in motorola session....
thats probably a very good idea. I love my atrix so im going to lean towards this phone.
General might be less bias.
I still own a HTC Hero and want to upgrade to a newer Android Phone
So after reading lotsa pages and pages, i came to the conclusion that this is the betetr phone to get.
I had the HTC EVO3D / HTC Sensation / LG Optimus 2X / LG Optimus 3D and Samsung Galaxy S II in mind, i'm not out of it complete, but as far as custom roms and future proof (i know that's a bit odd, cause it's going to fast in smartphoneland) i think the Samsung GSII is well worth the buy, 3D was more of a gimmick i wanted, but it's not really needed
So should i go for the Galaxy II, or should i take the HTC Sensation or LG 2X in consideration?
You've done the reading, you know the answer.... welcome aboard
I moved from a Desire to the Galaxy S2 a few days ago, and am loving it. For me, it was between the Sensation and Galaxy S2, but from all the reviews, the Galaxy S2 seemed to constantly edge it - plus, although I was a fan of the Sense interface on HTC phones, the latest versions felt more heavyweight, especially compared the relatively lightweight TouchWiz interface, which I thought would impact performance in the future.
Either way, they're all great phones, you'll love whatever you do go for, but I feel I made the right decision.
Well it's only 2 posts, but i'll order the Galaxy S II, seems i can't be wrong with it , at least, it's always better then my wife her iPhone 4
Hello,
could somebody recommend me a good Android phone with a decent battery and eventually a good support concerning custom ROM on xda?
I plan to buy one for my wife -she currently has a customized HTC HD2 with Android (NAND), but due to bad battery life and some reliability problems (FCs, drop of data connection, etc.) she wish for herself a "stock Android" phone. I intend to buy her this phone as a Christmas present, so it should fulfill as much as possible the baterry and reliability requirements (the requirement of good custom ROM support is just "nice to have").
Thank you very much in advance for any advice / recommendation.

google nexus one/s motorola droid lg optimus 2 samsung galaxy s
wait for the galaxy nexus, everybody seems to be. who is your phone carrier?
Google's Nexus Lineup.
One, S and Galaxy
choosing a phone....
Ive had an HD2 running NAND roms (cmylxgo,hyperdroid...) and really liked it. Touch screen went out (i ordered a new one to try and save it).
Just bought Galaxy s2 for wife and Sensation 4G for me-tmobile 14 day trial will allow me to exchange the one I like the least.
Heres the problem.
My rooted HD2 seemed FASTER internet, CLEARER video streaming, better BATTERY (Yes, I said it!) and overall better than Galaxy 2s and Sensation 4g!
**Is it possible that the rooted ROMS are that much better than the stock roms on the newer phones?
a post above also states the Amaze is probably the better choice than the Sensation anyway? True???
Ive got 9 days left!!!!!!! Am I crazy? or, once I remove all the clutter by rooting the new phones, they will crush all others???
So I've had my Droid Incredible since it came out and loved it. I was eligible for a new phone a few weeks ago but wasn't quite ready. Today I figured out my accelerometer died and it's annoying me to death. So I'm going to take the plunge. I'm currently with Verizon, so it'd have to be a Verizon phone. I don't want anything with a slide out keyboard. Other than that, I'm open to suggestions. My first thoughts were:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
LG Spectrum
Droid RAZR
Now, the other question I have is, should I stick it out for something coming next month like the Droid Incredible 4G, GSIII, or *prays* the ASUS Padfone?
I would wait for new wave of phones if I were you.maybe better performance dualcore phones with big battery and cool new screen tech.Iam sure Verizon will get some badboyz soon.
Ps;get something with icecream sandwich out of box.waiting is killing me

If you are into flashing ROMs and modding then you are going to want the Nexus since its a Nexus. The Razr is a nice phone hardware wise but it comes with Motorola's locked bootloader and delayed ICS.
I've had the first galaxy since it came out and its awesome! Its obviously a really old device so it doesnt handle somethings too well, but i still love it.
Im super stoked for the galaxy 3. I would suggest getting that phone!

Good point. Forgot about Motorola's locked bootloaders.
i have the spectrum and i love it... its fast no lagging... battery life for my dad which is about normal usage is about 16 hours...
it has been rooted.. and it has clockworkmod.. but if you plan on using custom roms this is not the phone to choose... we had 1 dev working on cm7 and today he posted that he was giving up because he cant get it to flash properly..
if you have the money for it i would choose the galaxy nexus.... the nexus devices have more dev support than any other phones
Well i would say that if you cant wait and have to make choice from Samsung Galaxy Nexus,LG Spectrum,Droid RAZR then choose Nexus....but if you can wait then go for S3 .....I am hoping the Galaxy S3 when it finally comes will bring the best of the Galaxy S range along with Android 4.0 ICS.
so my contract is finally up on my htc evo 4g and im in the market for another phone. The S3 on paper looks to be the best out of the other 2, while the nexus has better firmware support. =( but all around they all look spectacular. so i'm not sure of what to get.

really depends what you want, i have the international gnex but ordered the att s3, reason being i just wanted something new...if your into mods and want the latest google updates the second they're released get a Gnex..if you want the latest phone the S3...it will have great developer support but the GNex will still be updated faster...especially when google's jelly bean OS gets released...its really a matter of what you value more.
