I'm looking at buying NOVA 2 for Android... Just came out. (use the web market to find). They are having a discount on their website and many android blogs say it works with TEGRA 2 devices.
YEt it says incompatible with Atrix... And their website doesn't allow me to pick ATT as a carrier (their website it stupid! (GameLoft)).
Has anyone bought it and got a device hack to remove the check?
I'm not saying you should illegally get it, cause I am willing to buy it, but my interest kinda wanes when it's not available to use on my platform that is supposed to support it :l
Qhd version doenst exista yet

Nova 2 HD doesn't support qHD... ironic.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
It does support qHD, as I played it on a DROID 3 the other day.
Got it downloaded but can't get past a certain progress bar for the first level. Looking for a hack myself...
Hack already exists elsewhere
I can play nova 2 hd, but try hit fire and see blood. You cant cover all the screen, and have some glitchs

Hey fellow photon owners, looks like im the first to post on the photon boards hahahah jk....but seriously I traded in my evo 3d for this thing and couldn't be more happy. Its faster, has better reception, looks cooler, and just feels like an overall better phone.
Here's to hoping development for this phone takes off!!! Cheers!!
Edit : I guess in the midst of me posting 3 other threads have been created lol so I take back being the first to post

Yea, I'm really liking it as well. I returned the EVO 3D because I was having signal strength issues and this seems to be MUCH better. The EVO 3D would get 0-1 bar in my office while the Photon is picking up 3-4. So hopefully I'll see an improvement in the battery life since it won't constantly be searching for a signal.
I haven't had a chance to watch any Netflix or HBO Go movies yet so I hope those stream well. I've played a few games which played well. I do like the Motorola text messaging app.
So far, so good
All we need now is for a dev to jump on board and see exactly how locked down this phones bootloader really is
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
I'm thinking if this device can become a popular upgrade for those coming from an ogEVO, then the development will come as well. If so, this device will get rooted one way or another.
All going to depend on how popular this is. Only thing I can see slowing it down are the peeps holding out for the Within.

i have been looking into it all night and lets just say she's tighter than a ducks ass in the water...looking at sideloading the unlocker may be a viable option if fastboot were working proper...wasn't able to get into fastboot or recovery last night so i'm gonna keep digging...

It will have a Menu at the top of the screen that gives one option at a time...basically it cycles to the next option when you press volume down key.
So with phone powered off...hold vol down + power, continue to hold til you see the splash screen for Moto, and White text at very top middle. Will say Fastboot. From there, you can cycle thru the other options using Down Vol, Up Vol will select current action.

I'm one of those peeps. I decided to wait for the Within to come out so I could compare side-by-side with the Photon and the E3D to decide which of the three phones are closest to what I really want. I would love the Photon but am worried about the Pentile display. I would love the Within but am not happy about 800x480 screen resolution and like the Photon's world phone/business features. Love HTC as a maker and prefer Sense to Blur/TouchWIZ but don't like the 3D screen - you may be able to turn it off but it is not as good a screen as it would be if 2D. The layer that makes it 3D-capable affects 2D viewing too.
OMG yay 4 juggs welcome!! Im sooo happy to see u got a photon!! Longggg time user of your Roms from back in the winmo days!!! Will u be developing roms for the photon if we get root?

On the evo 3d only thing 3d which is a option is pictures & video's. So if you want the 3d but worried about it on its only a option. On certain rom's if your rooted, I guess there a option for 3d homescreen, that's only certain rom's though & again just a option.

I was planning on getting the dock anyways for webtop, but this just stepped up the game!!
Oh and I am LOVING this phone. I did a factory reset and it is even faster than before!! The battery life will straighten itself out in a few days as my Evo 4G and Vibrant(2.3.3 dev rom) did. Seems that the OS wants to run like crazy for the first few days then it settles once all the caches and optimization's are done. But big screen Wiimote gaming last night was awesome!! just have to setup all the buttons.

In a few days it'll get better. I am not sure what it is with gingerbread but all three phones with gingerbread on it have done this. I never seen that on Froyo.
so it's been a few months since the last thread regarding how the atrix is.
I currently have a Inspire 4G and I'm debating on getting the Atrix.
You own it, I want to know about it! What do you think? Should I make the switch?
The answer to your question is entirely subjective.
Was it ever bad? Debuted a super phone?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
It was good when it was locked, now that it is unlocked it is turning into a behemoth. Just wait until you see a polished CM7 rom on this thing.
it was never bad, otherwise this forum would be desolate.
If you are willing to unlock and flash custom ROM, its a beast.
If you have to live with the stock firmware, there's probably better options out there, unless you really hate 4.3 form factor.
put it to you this way the locked bootloader was why alot of people didnt care for it but the bootloader can be unlocked now and the custom rom train is going to pick up steam, as some one else said cm7 for one thing
It's better than the Inspire that I owned.
Don't listen to what they say in the Inspire forums. The Inspire isn't the best AT&T has and the Atrix is a lot better than what people think. It's a very nice phone.
Not trying to put the Inspire down at all--I just know because I've owned both of them. The Atrix beats it and the Nexus S that I have...

Honestly, it was never bad. As a stock device that was incapable of installing kernels, it was good. I still found myself using my Captivate while the bootloader was locked. Now that there's ROMs and kernels available, I haven't touched my Cappy at all.
wow! I wasn't expecting that many responses so fast!
I want to root the phone, play ff7 (of course) and ENJOY the phone.
I put a custom rom on my inspire so I don't see why I wouldn't put a custom rom on the atrix...
Trying to get the inspire back to "out of the box" state so I can return it.
The only issue I have with the inspire is running fpse and ff7. little laggy at times. hoping the dual core will remedy the issue.
hell, it's the same price and you get more internal memory, hdmi cable, and a better CPU..

I've never had any lag on any emulator I've tried. I don't think I've lagged once in a game.

Atrix is the best phone i've used, honestly. I wouldn't trade it for anything, except maybe SGSII.
Sure, it has some bugs and issues at the moment, but those will be fixed or bypassed eventually. Atrix has a great dev community.

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

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.
Hello all!
I've decided to finally buy myself an android, and after much deliberation, the Atrix is my choice. I just would like to clarify a few things before i bite the bullet, and actually go ahead and get it
1) Since I'm in malaysia, the only way i can get my hands on one of these is to buy an imported UK version. I know that the ATT ones come with the microHDMI cable, but does the UK retail package contain one?
2) I've read about the webtop hack, but would i be correct in assuming that i can replace the webtop linux with another OS? (i.e ubuntu, etc)
3) do any of the CM7 roms support the fingerprint reader? (i think that they won't, but clarification is always good )
4) and last but not least, CM9 supports chrome right? (stupid question, i know, but just making sure)
thanks in advance to all who reply!
You can get the AT&T Atrix of eBay its not necessary that you buy the UK model. Secondly the webtop hack is not actually a hack allowing you to run another OS but its basically a mod for the webtop.
All CM7 rom support fingerprint reader. CM9 does not support fingerprint as the offical drivers for fingerprint are not out yet. Chrome would work on CM9 as Chrome requires ICS and thats what CM9 is.
Hope this helps

alright, thanks, this helps alot! i would get it off of ebay, but shipping fees are expensive, and the set i found here in malaysia comes with the standard dock as well, so i'm thinking that it's a better idea to spring for this one.

To clarify a wee bit on the webtop, there is a webtop hack, and then there is Gentop, Ubuntop, etc., which effectively give you a full linux distro on your device. (Gentop is Gentoo, and likewise Ubuntop is Ubuntu). Both are great, and you can spend many days just messing with both of those to get the setup you want. Only thing is you have to stay with a GB ROM such as Nottachtrix to use these. MIUI, CM7 and CM9 do not support webtop. When ICS comes out, there may be no work done to remove/change webtop 3.0 and replace with a linux distro, as it appears to just be a tablet mode and not a webtop as most of use would like, or think webtop should be.
Ah i see, thanks for the clarification. Does this mean that if i do install a cm7/cm9 based rom and connect it to a tv via hdmi or the dock, the picture will just be mirrored from the phone's screen?
