Grab it if it's only $200.
That's actually a good price for a GS4G. It doesn't have much development yet, but it will as soon as Krylon has a working CWM for it.
At this point, and with you having 2 vibrants, there really is no point in dropping the 200 on a Galaxy S 4G. Yes, they have root, but almost developers other than Krylon are supporting it and no Vibrant roms, i9000, or any other Galaxy S series roms work on it. So basically, you are stucked with a rooted stock 2.2.1.
And to be truthful, I doubt any other developers will support it, seeing as though many have already bought the G2X or are waiting on other dual core devices.
How is the stock rom? I mean is it laggy like my 3g?

Thanks Xplane9. Guess I'll pass then & wait for sgs II.
Thank you.

It is Android 2.2.1 so it is better than the stock Vibrant. But with a custom rom the Vibrant 3g is faster, especially on CM7.

I do not understand why people in this forum are going crazy over the mytouch 4g. If you are going to root both devices anyways, and install a custom rom, you do realize that the two devices are basically the same right? My Vibrant on CM7 plus an otterbox commuter feels solid and runs like a dream.

I have one running trigger and the other bionix v 1.3.1. How is cm7? On their website they said vibrant not supported, that's why I am skeptical about flashing it. Is it problem free?

Pls forgive my ignorance. Won't overclocking shorten the cpu life? Or over heating?

Honestly, I would buy the GS4G for $200 and sell one of my Vibrants. You should be able to get $200 for your 3G Vibrant if it is in good condition. That way, you have a GS4G and GS3G, without an end cost. If nothing else, just buy the GS4G and turn around and sell it. You should be able to make at least $100 on it assuming it is like new. So, either way, buy it. Just my two cents.
dont buy it, it dont even have internal memory, i rooted one and odin to kc1 nd tried to add the lockscreens and power menu options from whitehawks and it said there was no space and i had to odin again
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.

The only time my phone gets hot is when I'm using it with the car dock, where it's charging, playing Slacker/Pandora/Google Music, and sitting in the hot sun.
Just want opinions. Thank you

Without sd card reader, half the ram, single core cpu, lower resolution screen, IMO the Atrix, hands down. Nexus S is a phone of the past.
Sure, it's a Google Phone, it gets everything first, but with CM7 picking up it's pace as it has been on the Atrix, I don't see why anyone would pick the Nexus S instead.
Go go Atrix!
Agreed the Atrix has better specs. The Nexus S is a nice phone, I've gotten to play with it because my cousin has one. The Atrix is superior hardware and the Nexus S will get the official Google updates first. If I was going to pick between the two, I would definitely choose my Atrix, but I would also be happy with a Nexus S. I've been running the newest CM weekly with fingerprint for about 48 hours and have been very impressed with it.
I have the atrix running cm7 oc'd 1.45 but I wanna trade for BNIB NEXUS S WHITE
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Depends on whether you are planning to load a custom ROM. If not, definitely don't use the Atrix. If yes, then the Atrix is probably better (unless you need a bigger screen or are a camera buff).
I love the atrix but, I have to ask....
If your going to buy a new phone why don't you get... "A new phone"?
Samsung Galaxy S II ?
Samsung Galaxy Nexus ?
and yes stock moto sucks.
Because I'm not buying I'm trading.. know anyone that wanna trade atrix for galaxy nexus. Yeah. Lol

But will I notice a speed difference with it overclocked??
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
It's pretty fast anyway without overclock, but when you get over the 100 app mark then you notice that it doesn't perform as fast. But overclocking to 1.45Ghz makes a significant difference to the speed.
So oc'ing the ns however fast(I haven't looked it up)would be nearly the same speed I'm having now on my atrix?? Or will I noticelag on the ns

You will notice lag. No matter how much you OC it, it won't be as smooth as the Atrix.
That's not saying the NS is a bad phone, but the only time I've used mine since i've had my Atrix is when the ICS SDK port was released.
I would go with the Nexus S. The probable lack of Sammich on the Atrix is a deal breaker for me.
Kindly help me to choose from ATRIX or Thrill
i have ARIX but i got an exchange deal with Thrill + Rs.1500($30) INR
From all specs i understand Thrill is overall better phone but
atrix has 1GB ram where 512 in thrill(but still its fast)
thrill has very poor life where atrix has 2000 mah battery.
atrix has better developer support.
thrill has 4.3" 3D screen
What i am concerned is:
1. if thrill play 1080p mkv download from net without convert
2. Games compatibility with thrill
3. video Gtalk
what you people wants to suggest?
to me the RAM is a big deal, the dev support is also important. I would stick with the Atrix
+1
1 GB of RAM is indeed a big plus on the Atrix.
Having 1 GB of RAM will allow (theoretically) an upgrade path to ICS or whatever comes next. Having actual ICS developers successfully working on this is another issue altogether though.
Also, you pretty much summarized all the features that makes the Atrix a better option compared to the Thrill. Although you forgot to mention the biometric scanner on the Atrix.
However, playing 1080P MKVs on the Atrix (or any other smartphone that I've tried) is not really good. At least on the Atrix you'll have to resort to a third party app like MX Video Player and use Software decoding since there is no hardware acceleration MKV codecs as of yet.
Video calls of the Atrix work awesomely good as you may have noticed.
In the end, the best phone is the one you end up using and liking, no matter what people say.
Cheers!

And don't forget the lapdock! Once you hack that and turn it into a (mostly) real linux box it's quite nice.
Thrill is better than atrix. and already have a full working ICS port, and,well... Atrix have a buggy kang of cm9...

Agreed!
The lapdock, or should I say the Webtop option on the Atrix makes it better, much better in my opinion. Also LG is not the best in hardware design, all their models look and feel cheap and bulky, also in my opinion...
Does the Thrill have HDMI output?

thanks all of you for sharing ur experience.. this is really helping me out.
Atrix...my first Android and will be my only one until I see something better. Thus far, even the galaxy nexus is no match.
thats odd i had to go see since someone said working ics port and it looks more like they are still working with froyo mostly and some nightlies of cm7.anyway atrix all day if your itching for a new phone wait for a quad core to come out in a few months.if you have a dual core phone now anything you buy would just be a lateral move
Always Motorola, LG had never had a great reputation with the reliability of their hardware. Motorola always has better battery life, better call quality and better signal reception. Those are important right !!!

Ask this question in the general Android section, you may get a better sample of responses. Personally I'd stick with the Atrix, but horses for courses and all that...

512 ram on LG, makes me feel its gonna be slow the phone and the 1500ma battery wont last like Atrix,,,, I prefer Atrix, (Atrix comes with nvidia)
What would be a decent stable ROM that still includes most stock features, without MotoBLUR? I could give a crap less about 4G.
Stock just feels sluggish and stuttery compared to my Nexus S.

Are you looking for close to moto stock, minus blur, or close to aosp? If the former, I'd recommend Rocko or Shadow. If the latter, CM7.
On a side note, I always laugh a little at threads titled like this. At my house, I'm the tech savvy one, and my husband is usually lost, lol.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Nice. I wish I wasn't the tech savvy one. Gets old. But as far as AOSP or MB... honestly don't care. MB is going to have all the stock features, but she doesn't even use any Blur features.
I just want to put something on her phone that has a lot less lag, I suppose I could wait for the ICS OTA.

CM7.2 is an absolutely solid ROM. And its even still being updated!
Sent from my CM9 Electrify.
I'm using cm9 on my photon. with the overclock kernal to 1.4. it runs fast for me and it looks awsome.
[KANG][ROM] CM7.2 by Photon Dev team is kickassss!!! Really fast and stable and greattttt battery life! I get 25hrs on an average when i use my phone moderately... ie about and hour of wifi and some calls
I get a quadrant score of 3600+ lol and its super quick! Use it with launcher pro.. thats what I like as i feel it makes the phone super fast..
Alternatively, you could leave it stock and try a 3rd party launcher. I am currently using Go Launcher EX and it's really snappy.
