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.

Dude did you replace an atrix 4g with the LGOG? ...I DID THE SAME THING! Man I love this phone ^.^ my atrix was a tough cookie though.

I also upgraded from the original atrix. Very happy with the performance of this phone. I do miss a couple of things from the atrix though: better battery life, ability to use standard wifi tethering and the customizable car dock app.

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 really wanted to use my atrix forever, but it has a failing digitizer, the headphone jack quit working.
I switched from the Note 2 to the G and I can tell you the G is far more responsive and quick in day to day use. It's like night and day.

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?

I'm on my 3 rd inspire this week. So I'm thinking if getting an Atrix. I'm keeping my captivate to use as a toy. I know there won't be much development on the Atrix like there will be on the inspire. But I'm thinking that if i keep my cappy then I wrong need to worry about modding my daily driver phone.
My reasons for returning the first 2 inspires are due to screen issues. 1st one had a really grey tint to it, 2nd one had a dead pixel on it. neither phone made it longer than a day and now phone 3 has the grey tint also.
I love the screen size but im not going to be able to keep returning them everyday. Is the Atrix a good daily driver or will i get bored with it very quickly. Should i wait for the samsung infuse to come out. Does anyone have an idea if when samsung might release it?
I know I've rambled on about this but in unsure about the quality of the Atrix.
Thanks

Believe it or not,I was actually thinking about taking my Atrix back, trying the Inspire out , then taking that back for theAtrix again. but a couple things stopped me.
First I had the Evo before the Atrix and to me the Inspire is just the Evo all over again with the exception of the new HTC Sense.
Second was the battery life. I been following some Inspire threads and some people have been posting some remarkable stats regarding battery life. But everybody uses their phone differently. With my Atrix I get well over 15 hours on once charge. As on my Evo (I know it's not the Inspire) but I get about 7-8 hours on a full charge and sometimes not even that.
Third, I have a strange feeling that the bootloader may be unlocked. But if it doesn't, I'll still be happy, The speed of the Atrix already satisfies me along with the 16Gb internal storage plus my 16Gb SD Card...32GB
And lastly, Motorola is suppose to be releasing an update that will include the ability to play and capture video in 1080p. That's something that that HTc hasn't implemented yet.
So if I were you...I would get the Atrix.
can u guys stop it already with this subject. to much already . click search and you will find out which one is better
I tried an inspire and it wasn't for me. 1.8 oc was as fast as an atrix...until you had two processes running then the atrix obliterated it. That and the battery was to weak for my needs. And lets be honest, the inspire is in all reality a 8 month old phone. Would you buy a captivate if it was just now coming out? I'm pretty sure there getting close to getting around the boot loader and hsupa is also right around the corner.

+1 for the atrix...everything ihas been great so far, only have two complaints. First is there seems to be a slight miss calibration with my touch screen (could be device special specific) and two, off coloration with my camera (hopefully sw update will fix this). Everything else is great, battery life, speed, personally no problems with the resolution, and gotta love the form factor. Sure its spastic but it doesn't feel cheap and fits well in my hand. Search around though, tons of threads loving/hating on the atrix...pick your side.

Gave my wife my Captive and got the Atrix! Wow!!! Atrix just walks all over the Captive and Inspire. The unlocked Web-top is awesome. Picked up a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and mouse hooked the phone up to my LCD TV. Also Im running a DLINK 825 Dual band the Router and the phone does 5GHz Band which makes it great for videos on the net. So much stuff to play with and tweak!
I know that there are probably other threads just like mine but I just had to get this off my chest.....for everyone that's disrespecting this phone and saying its a slouch, slow etc.
Some of you may know me from selling/trading phones over in the marketplace. I've had every high end phone on Sprint, some phones I've owned twice or even three times. Nevertheless, I got rid of them because I just didn't like the phone or wanted something else.
Well, I got me another Photon and I come to find that I really like this phone. True it has some issues that's in my opinion is very minor. Those issues consist of the small amount of laginess when unlocking the phone and for some reason when ever I'm typing the vibration of the key press just stops. Then it starts back after I stop typing again...I don't know what's up with that...but those are the only two issues I have with this phone.
Now as far as the good, the reception is out of this world. I get excellent service and bars where I got no or little service on both my NS4G and E4GT. The only phone that came close is my iP4s. I went to the mall here where I live and while the wife and kids were doing some shopping, I decided to pull out the Photon and surf the web. I was expecting that the data would be slow to non existence. But to my surprise, data was working and fast too. Again, this wouldn't have never happened on my NS4G or ET4G. The speaker on the photon is a beast as well. It definitely blows the NS4G out of the water. The E4GT has a good speaker too but begins to crackle at a certain volume.
Not to mention all the accessories that's available for the photo. I'm currently in the market for lap dock
If I'm just blabbing, I apologize. I'm just giving this device some love. I'm already talking my co-worker into getting an Electrify on US Cellular.

I agree on all counts as well. The phone is awesome. And also agree that if Moto unlocked the bootloader without losing 4G then we can get rid of the blur stuff and really have a outstanding phone.

I was able to get any phone with Verizon (work), it was either the Rezound or Nexus S. I choose the Rezound with the signal issues people were having with the GNx.
I have had the phone for 3 days now, fully rooted, and love it. Plus the $100 headphones are a nice bonus
I will say, Samsung phones have a screen that beats out every other phone I have seen. Their colors are just awesome. I believe they use some different type of LCD technology, at least someone told me that.
I had the GNEX for about a week, I traded my iphone4 16gb + cash for it, and it just wasn't for me, no matter how hard I tried. It was too big, the signal was just horrible. At home, I would be at around -80-90dBm while with the Rezound I am at -69-79dBm just like I was with my Inc2.
The picture is nice on the GNEX, but the screen scratches very easily, and the auto brightness was unusable, so that ate the battery up quite fast for me.
I was very happy to find someone to trade their Rezound for the GNEX.
HTC Sense is amazing. I like to have the mobile data, or wifi turn off while the phone is at sleep state, with the GNEX I couldn't even get one day out of the battery but the Rezound I can do a day and a half easily thanks to this.
Beats audio is great, and the headphones kick butt.
The Rezound is a very well built machine, HTC unlocked the bootloader and with the guarantee of ICS coming, that just adds the extra cherry on top!
I switched to Verizon a week ago from sprint and a nexus s 4g. I picked the RAZR M because sprint wouldn't repair a faulty refurb they sent me so I needed a phone. The RAZR m was cheap and seemed really solid. In fact its a great phone. However I am of the mindset if you're on Verizon and have the funds go for the DNA. Since Verizon extended their return policy I can use Christmas money and return this. My only concerns with the DNA are
1. Battery life -my RAZR m which gets great life has almost the same size battery.
2. Support -moto is owned by Google and updates are being churned out fast, HTC however has a history of not supporting. The DNA is future proof spec wise but will HTC support.
3. Build quality- after switching to moto build quality has become important. Kevlar back aluminum body etc. Are all present in my "mid range" phone
4. Roms -with my RAZR I've excepted lack of ROMs and dev support, but almost stock makes this acceptable. Sense however is tolerable, but heavy. I could deal with it but would look to replace it later with AOSP
5. Memory-7 the 8gb isn't cutting it , I need the 16gb.
Can anyone who has a DNA or experience with one speak on these? Thanks
Sent from my RAZR M using xda app-developers app
Memory is actually 11gb
Sent from my HTC Droid DNA
After you root the DNA and flash a new ROM you'll have about 11 gigs for whatever your needs. Many users are reporting that they are not having problems with the battery life, so I think you'll find it acceptable. The DNA has top notch build quality--most HTC phones do. Just go to a Verizon store and check it out. You'll be pleasantly surprised. As far as getting AOSP is concerned, I wouldn't hold your breath just yet. It could happen down the road
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
1. Battery life is much better than most reviews say. will last me more than the whole day. Especially with cubed kernel
2. Roms will cover updates
3. the build quality on this phone is amazing! i love the feel of it
5. There's already a few good Roms on the phone, and from what i can see the devs are very talented and will bring lots more roms to this phone!
6. Memory, this phone is advertised with 16 gigs. Stock its 11 gigs available. But once you debloat it becomes closer to the 16 gig mark
I hope HTC doesn't skip us out of future upgrade this phone is to beast to do that.

Thanks y'all sound confident and happy with your devices. I'll leave the thread open in case any other experts want to chime in. I think I'll collect my earnings for Christmas, then gauge from there . If I have the difference I'll pull the trigger, if not oh well It sounds extremely pleasing to own.
Sense is a lot less resource hungry than what it was. Couple that with 2gb of RAM and a quad core, you're not going to get lag.
The build quality of the DNA is amazing. It as a very solid feel and is definitely durable.
In all honesty the battery is nowhere near as bad as some people make it out to be. sure, it doesn't get the maxx life but its a 2,020mAh and given that it uses a 5" 1080p screen the battery life "fits." even if HTC doesn't update often the developers will certainly pick up the slack.

Yea I'm aware of moto's ****ty history with updates and with lock bootloaders that puts you @ verizon's mercy. But HTC is pretty bad as well. t's just that the Dev community is so exciting for the DNA it won't be an issue. With my razr M however I have practically no reason to visit XDA anymore lol. This is a reason for me contemplating the switch, the deep community behind it. Not Nexus S deep, but enough to satisfy.
Great phone
I won my phone thanks to HTC's ambassador program (you can read about it on htcsource dot com) and I love it! Today was a good testament to the battery as I was out shopping with my wife most of the day and am about to finally plug it in. My previous phone was a One S so I was somewhat already used to the limited amount of storage, but I do think to myself sometimes that 32GB is a much amount. I would love to carry more music since I don't have the luxury of free WiFi at work. The storage had yet to be a deal breaker for me, because there are so many other perks to this phone. I absolutely love the possibilities with NFC and the screen size is freaking awesome to look at.
I say go for it!
After only having Moto smartphones for the last few years, I've never experienced HTC. How are they with their updates?
I know with Moto the updates were taking ages, but looking back it was a little fun trying this and that to get things to work. I forget the saying, but it's something about enjoying the trip more than getting to the destination.

if you have a verizon phone, your updates will take ages, period. moto, htc, samsung, doesn't matter. verizon is who dictates when the updates go out, and they're ALWAYS last.
I got to hold and play with a DNA the other day and man does it feel nice in hand. Top notch build quality, super fast and that screen is amazing. Makes me jealous I'm not due for an up grade but the DNA will definitely get more support and roms than the RAZR simply because moto is so hell bent on locking down their devices

I kinda wanted to just say thank you for all the hard work Devs! :good: I've been a member for alil while now, and have used just about every Atrix rom there is, or was, used every mod, and tried things people said weren't stable, just cause..lol I've also never had to ask a question about them, for the simple fact. If the Dev didn't describe it so "I" could understand it, I read other peoples comments, or just SEARCHED! works every time :good:
Now I am ready for the dreaded upgrade..lol I can't seem to let go of the Atrix!! I've had none of the problems others have had, it's the perfect size, fast, stable, and regardless of BM scores, blows the doors of my friends new phones.
So thanks guys, keep up the good work, and I'll be here till the Atrix dies, or something I just can't live with out, comes out.
Go for a RAZR HD!
I'm on att, so if i went that root(no pun intended) it would be to the Atrix HD. I have a friend with that, and the 2.. Kinda always a funny joke, Cuz mine is the "OG" and still runs as good, and as fast..lol
I'm sure in the next few months something will be out that tips my interest. Till then, i love my atrix !! Lol

After the way Moto treated us with the promised ICS update, you'd be risking it by buying another Motorola product.
I'd get anything but Motorola. I'd probably get a Galaxy Note 2, an SIII or an Xperia phone.
I would go for the LG Nexus 4 or SONY Xperia T
Didn't really mean for it to turn in to another "next phone thread" lol But because it did..lol
No i wont be picking up another moto device, unless they make the next, nexus.. They have to leave it open then..right? :screwy: i do like that Samsung has still stuck with a removable battery, but for some reason I'm just for the most part not a Samsung guy..i donno. To be honest, been keeping my eye on the optimus G section. Also the girlfriend has a ion, and I'm not a big fan either. Although, prior to smart phones all my old phones had been Sony.

That whole non-removable battery thing doesn't impress me mainly because there are times where I have had to remove the battery in my Atrix because the device had become unresponsive, and that was with unmodified stock gingerbread. Can you imagine how that would work out with a botched update?

Phones without a removable battery are reset by the power button. No matter what is frozen of how it's frozen, holding down the power button will always turn the device off. It's just like holding down the power button on your computer to kill when it's frozen.

After this Atrix, maybe the upcoming Note 3 or Xperia Z... *drools*

I have a nexus, and have a hard time buying one of the new giant phones.. Just seems pointless to me. Don't get me wrong tho, if i didn't have the 7, might be a different story...
The S3...I still have my Atrix hoping they build a new kernel for JB

It's so hard to leave the Atrix. I recently got one so I'm not looking to upgrade, but my girlfriend is. I tried and tried to look for a better value phone and I honestly can't find one.
You really can't find anything with similar specs for under $300. And the Atrix is selling on amazon for under $200!
If that new kernel gets off the ground we just might be happily stuck with this device for a good while longer
I think I'm just gonna keep going with the atrix till it craps on me. I got it only a month after it came out, and have never had an issue with it. Right now running PA 2.99. :beer:
Many choices.
There are so many great choices right now. Note 2, Nexus 4, Galaxy S3 are all great phones! The note 2 and s3 have great community support as well.
Nexus bit the big one.. :crying: So a Note 2 is looking more better.. Stupid non-awesome glass. Atrix is still number one in my book, she took a nasty spill the other day face down, nothing!! Candle falls on Nexus, bubye..

So it the Nexus really is that fragile then? I thought that glass would be an issue anyway, not just because it's fragile, but because it's a thermal insulator.
Yeah, I didn't think it would break as easy as it did..
A "who cares" update..lol Picked up the HTC ONE yesterday.:good: Despite being in the US and not being able to do anything with the phone for 2yrs, I'm loving it so far!!
