Has anyone (who has a participating cable provider) tried the WatchESPN app yet on the Atrix?
I've been trying to use it and so far the video is horrible on both wi-fi and over the air. The video displays colors overlaid on the feed and it is just awful.
Anyone have a similar experience?

I set this up yesterday, and really haven't messed with it too much. I did just try to watch some video over 3g/4g? and it took forever to load, and the video had a big green box when it first started, but then it corrected itself and the video was decent but it was slow to buffer and was choppy and not too enjoyable.
Haven't tried it yet..will install when I get done flashing my Atrix. Have god damn voice quality issues...so doing this one last time...
I had it on my iPhone 4 that I gave to my wife..it was WONDERFUL on there...looked like an HDTV...
i get the same issues as you, both on cell network and wifi. the bottom overlay in particular is always covered in green.
Glad to see it's not just me. I'm wondering if it's just an issue of the app not supporting our chipset yet.
Hopefully one of the updates will correct it eventually.
Yeah I installed it guys, horrible...believe me when I tell you its not even close to the experience on the iPhone...
If the damn iPhone had a replaceable battery I'd go back....
Ok guys - small poll. Did you have any problems with/after upgrading to ICS ?
Nope, smooth as silk.

Other than the wierd fact i got a worse score on antutu. Everything has been silky smooth. Anyone know why that could happen?
I had to reset my email account. It kept force closing and I had to clear data and start over. Not a big deal. Everything else seems to work great and the browser speed increase is substantial.
Shadowgun flickers and locks up after trying to shoot my gun.
Riptide GP will not work it seems that the motion sensors are not working
Siegecraft locks up upon booting
Madden 2012 Crashes
I tried re-installing both Shadowgun and Riptide but gave up trying that after those 2. I will try a factory reset tonight as I am the only one so far with these issues.
No problem. New, Out of the box about 7 pm last night.. took the first firmware update and an hour later ICS was downloaded.
I did have problems with ADW ex with the first update, it locked up several times. Haven't tried it on ICS yet.

Pretty much ruined my tablet and has made it unusable. Non stop bootloops even after hard reset. I let the battery completely drain last night, I'm hoping that helps
Never rooted or had problems with other updates either.

One word. Wow. Everything is so much better. Stock browser is a complete 180 from the honeycomb one!
The upgrade went smoothly. The only thing I have not found to work is the bookmark sync. My bookmarks are still not syncing with my Google account.
No problems
Everything works great
This update made a huge difference for mine I can't believe how much better it is

Smooth download, smooth instillation, no problems as such.
I updated to ICS last night and now it reboots by itself using various apps. I only had it for a week and wasn't even rooted. It was running great before this and now..i want to through it out the window.
No issues what so ever. Running smoother n faster than before. People experiencing app n game problems, its that developers need to add ICS support for those ones. Nothing due to the ICS itself. Developers still need to catch up updating their apps n games.
Update was easy and simple. Rootkeeper worked so i still have root. The browser was remarkably better. Didnt run any games yet but everything else seemed great.
no problems here
Update went smooth here. I was not rooted fwiw. Only problem i've had so far is with the xda app ironically. It closes every time i attempt to open a post within the forum.
The poll results are encouraging. I still wish Asus updates were not forced, especially an update as big as this.
Honesty I have ics on my sensation and although its on beta I didn't think ics on the prime would be a big improvement. But it was I seriously don't even need to use any other browser besides the stock one which work excellent.
For me the update, while only 24 hours old, has made a world of difference. Gone (so far) is the browser constantly crashing, the random reboots, and the wifi signal dropping randomly. I already loved the Prime, even with those faults, knowing that at some point a ROM or one of the updates would fix those problems. This seems to have done it.
My company is on the verge of purchasing them for all of our consultants, and I had been telling them to wait a bit, I think now I can move forward with the purchase. My question is, has it made the rest of you as happy?
Interesting. What industry are you in? Im in healthcare under IT and theres only 2-3 people with company Tablets ..though they are I-pads =(. I would love to see more tablets bieng productive in the business world and pushed into them as well. THe Prime is good start with the keyboard dock and processing power.
For business consultants wouldn't it be better to have a tablet that has built in data plans? I'm guessing they'd be traveling around a lot, and to assume everyone has available wifi for them is a but presumptuous.
Unless everyone also has a dataplan smartphone for tethering !
For me it has made it much more reliable and stable. I made it through a whole day at school as a laptop replacement. Used Overskreen browser (awesome), pdfs, TED, youtube, gmail, 8tracks, music apps. Everything worked together and it never froze or crashed.
new update has made my prime that much better than the competition.
Better here too, only problem i get is browser lag. Its not totally gone, but its noticeably better to the point where its almost not bothering me now.

my prime used to just bob my knob. now it tongues the testes while it bobs the knob. so much better.
am i the only one who had a gmail problem?
i couldn't find anyone having problems with gmail... it would open and i could see the emails... but wouldnt respond to my touch... all i know is the new update fixed that problem... amongst everything else.
After the update I feel it more smooth overall. So I am happy enough with it now that I ordered a leather case for it
They updated the Asus timeline live wallpaper
They added some animation to each of the "scenes" like sun shafts and birds flying toward the sunset one on the Dusk scene.

Browsing seems really smooth now and the Splashtop Streamer works very nice as well. Also we probably got the free 8GB AsusWebstorage. And I am sure there is still lots to find. I'll let you know later
Stability really has improved a lot with this update. My browser would crash QUITE frequently before, and I had a few, albeit not many, random reboots. I've used my Prime quite a bit since the update and I haven't witnessed either of those two things yet. The browser is faster and more responsive now than ever before.
market not connecting
Light browser lag yes, and google play/market is not picking up connection...
I've actually had one reboot since updating. I never had any problems with the previous firmware at all. Hopefully that was a one off..
Prime isn't rooted and hasn't been tinkerer with at all
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
Definitely has improved my experience. No more screen flickering. Some "wait/close" popups with the browser, but not nearly as many as before. In fact, I don't recall having one at all today. Things seem smoother to me. I look forward to the Prime just getting better and better with future updates.

After update, i have been noticing that leaving the TP off and later when I pick up the TP, it feels a bit warm on the right upper side top. Also notice that the battery has gone down much quicker as well when just turned off. I don't have much installed, as I just got the TP last Saturday.
Maybe I will just do a hard reset.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
So far with the new firmware I have had the Prime just shut off once and then refuse to start up until it is plugged into charger.
I do experience the occasional hang up on the stock web browser, but everything else seems to be running smoothly so far.
I am hoping that I no longer experience random reboots or the tablet just shutting off because whenever I do I can't get the tablet to start up again until I plug it into the charger.
Must point out is strange that nobody complains about ...
Slow
lags and stuck when return to launcher - each time coming out of something heavy ,everything in SLOW MOTION ..i can see the icons and WIDGETS back one by one....(even with omega 5,6,7,8)
Sudden departures from heavy games
Where are the 4 cores??
its not bother anyone that we bought the BEST SMART STRONG phone .. IPHONE BREAKER ...
and its working like "unfinished product"...
maybe its all abouy the launcher??? i dont know..im worked with servel launchers...everything seems to be that same...
maybe tommorow i'll find ROM that will fix all of it....for now...I'm really disappointed...
Take it back you have a defective phone!

Alot ALOT of people will atest that this phone is not the lagging mess you make it out to be. i see NO lag at all. even out of the box when using certain launchers. TSF shell is a ZERO lag launcher no matter what. but its 15 bucks
other than that other roms may help your issue, but it is not a dissapointing phone at all in my OP
Agree one or the other is defective .

I'm silent about all these problems because I don't have any. Phone is like butter, it's a wonderful user experience and the best phone I've ever had. A real keeper, might even keep a phone for a year this time.
I'm not disputing your issues but you chose a terrible thread title. 99% of owners are happy just like me that's why we are "silent".

I know you're exaggerating the problems a bit, but I can see some of the problems you experience. There are instances where it does lag on touch response and I don't see it too often, but it does happen.
Redraw is an issue that's for sure. I've updated to LFB and I still see the redraw but not as often.
I'm running stock on the current LFB firmware and I haven't rooted the phone. I don't install alot of crap on my phone either.
I love the phone regardless; the few minor problems don't deter from the overall experience. It's generally smooth I have to say.
Also, the issues probably have to do with software optimization both with Samsung's firmware and apps from the Play Store. I'm sure as Samsung pushes more updates out, the phone will get smoother and most of the initial problems people experience will be ironed out. This goes the same for Apps in the Play Store. S3 will be the most supported phone so developers will optimize all their apps to run smoother with the S3.
Patience.
There are some problems as the launcher redraws and some lag from time to time, but I'm coming from the HTC Desire. To get the experience you get on the S3 on the Desire you have to tweak the crap out of it and it won't even get close to the S3. It's a wonderful phone, you are either overreacting or your phone is defect.
There are rare Launcher redraws (and it is happening less on LFB). I don't know how this can be "full of problems". It happens very ocasionally and the redraw is very fast and then the phone is buttery smooth again.
Im having a slight lag sometimes after leaving shadowgun or a different heavy game such as nova 3 but after few seconds, everything goes back to normal. Nothing major to complain about.
I guess you might have a faulty phone so take it back for inspection and best of luck.

I think you're overreacting. Lag? No .Maybe stutter but I don't experience that at all unless I have a bunch of apps install while i m using the phone Plus being on checkrom I have yet to have the redraw issue. You need to compare your S3 to the competition to see how butterry smooth that phone is. As far as home button lag, just disable s voice and it will be gone.

Not from Brazil, I guarantee.
As far as the hardware goes, my phone is flawless, like a top grade diamond!
Perhaps you have some buggy widget on your home screen, that is making the home screen app misbehave, and - not being a developer thus not knowing how everything interconnects - starts blaming the device.
You sound like those car owners that blame the manufacturer because the car run out of fuel or because they simply can't drive.
If you think the device is such a mess (that you apparently caused, because you already tried non-stock ROMs on it), just return it.
Maybe Android is not for you... try an iPhone instead.

I can certainly see the bad app/rouge widget messing with your screens.
i had a battery widget on my galaxy Note right before i got the S3 and it would make EVERY Launcher Lag when i had it sitting on my home screen.
was just by chance that i forgot to add it back after installing a new Rom and noticed all the lag/stutter was Gone. so it happens man just check it out, i hope its something as simple as just a bad app/widget.

I am the pickiest guy in the world. I went from GS2(perfect except battery life), iPhone 4s(Bluetooth, wifi, had to reset, everybody and their grandma has the same phone as me), Xperia S(too thick for pockets, old CPU, yellow screen, USB port flap and placement), and HTC One X(stutter and just about everything).
No problems. This phone is amazing. Believe me, I am super vocal about any little problem myself.
IThe S3 was the best compromise for me.
The One X hasnt got SdCard, One S the same + unswapable batteries.
Galaxy nexus also hasnt got SdCard so i went to the S3
I dont like Touchwiz and Samsung Crap, this is the reason I run a custom firmware.
The Phone is blazingly fast.
Regards.
maybe im overreacting ....BUT...on iphone i'd never had those lag problems..never got kicked in the middle of a game or application...
i can't fell the monster CPU it had...
just formatted the phone and installed PARANOID rom...i will try to work few days without installing alot of applications....
I got my G in yesterday. I replaced my atrix with cm10. I really dont miss cm10 either. I did root this phone so I could install titanium, remove bloat and install my old apps. I was wondering if there is some way to add weather to the lock screen. One issue I did have happen, it shut off completely one time, no button pushing revived it, I ended up plugging it to power and it responded. I see that might be an issue at some point, you cant remove the battery, so that makes me a little leary of unlocking or putting a new rom on, if it stuffs I cant turn it off
Easy process. And if you double get in a bind it may be easier for you to fix.

I have to admit, when the news came out earlier that the Nexus 4 is back in stock I briefly considered throwing my Optimus up on Swappa/Craigslist/whatever and getting one.
Ultimately, I'm perfectly happy with the G. Especially now that we have JB source and the devs can go crazy with it, I'm hoping we're not too far away from a CM or a true AOSP ROM. Heck, I'll probably be perfectly happy with the JB ROM we have already once the storage issue gets fixed, as the camera isn't really all that important to me. Sure, it's nice to have, but I've got a dedicated camera for when I want to do serious photography.
With our JB ROM, what's the real difference between the Optimus G and the Nexus 4 aside from the obvious not having to go through AT&T for updates? If we never get Key Lime Pie or anything official from AT&T period (even the JB OTA), my feelings might change, but for a device that people say has lacking dev support it doesn't seem all that bad.
Heck, knowing how much I like flashing ROMS having only a few of them may be better for my sanity

I love my Atrix but I found out that CM10 and Jokersax is a little too buggy for normal use - might just be me though. I used the epinter and it worked great but my battery was instant dead all the time (even with tweaks and extended battery )
I love seeing all these former Atrix users picking up the LGOG and loving it! My only concern is the battery life since I am a heavy user. Super heavy I am almost always on it even at home. I have been playing with the floor model at my job and really cannot see any faults besides the battery but LG and other OEM users claim that the "eco-mode" does the trick in conserving the battery. The floor model does not have an active sim and I do not see a way to disable LTE and only have HSPA+.
The battery issue and hacks seems to be an issue I foresee as well but I guess we would just need to be lucky and hope that the hard reset works aka press all buttons at once and pray.

It's great to see that a ton of Atrix users made it to the LGOG. Even better that Noattach made the jump with us!
So, has anybody tried to get the lapdock working with the LGOG yet? I'll be getting an MHL adapter soon, but I only expect video, as the USB speakers in the dock don't seem to have support outside of the Atrix. It would be awesome if there were some way to get the keyboard, trackpad, and USB ports on the dock to talk with the phone. Anybody have any ideas?
