Hi, I'm new to android, I have a few questions.
-Can and Unlocked AT&T HOX+ running 4.1.1 be updated? how?
-How do I toggle 4g, there isn't an option, mostly getting E.
-Does having 4G on impact the battery a lot?
What are the benefits of rooting? If I root and update, will I receive all the 4.2 features?
Thank you.

Hi guys.
I found today at local retailer Atrix with Laptop dock at a price of 370€.
http://www.electroworld.sk/product/...ily/MOTATRIXLAP/motorola-atrix-mobil-lap-dock
I have a HTC Desire Z for almost a year now and would like to upgrade.
Is this a good choice? It's a better hw, I pretty love the webtop idea.
It's not Asus PadPhone (I will miss a tablet possibility), but I will get instead a laptop and hdmi+bt keyboard+touchpad comfort.
My questions to the Atrix community are:
1) is it possible to get HDMI + bluetooth keyboard with touchpad working without any hacks? Just out of the box?
2) what are the news about ICS upgrade? I have seen som official motorola page that said it's in "evaluation", but the US version has a plan for Q2(3?) Also some webtop 3.0 video is on youtube (think from RAZR)
3) are there any glitches that I should be aware before buying? What makes you feel so bad, you would not buy it now?
4) any other useful user experiences
Thanks a lot.
I dont know all the answers, but from my experience:
1.- Works on ICS betas, have never tried it with the GB based ROMS
2.- There is a good chance the official ICS will be out in the next 2-3 months from Moto. The video is from a Razr ICS leak showing that it essentially is done away with Webtop as it was, and now runs ICS full screen.
3.- I've had the device for 3-4 months now I guess, coming off a I4. I have been playing with Android OS since the nook color got hacked to run it, and run it on a HP Touchpad as well as the nook color and now my Atrix. My only caveat with the Atrix is I really dislike the power button location. That said, I just setup to use my volume rocker to wake the device, and so I rarely hit the power button at all anymore.
4.- Current ICS betas are all quite nice, but the things that dont work can be irritating. The main issue for myself was browser rotation and video camera support being slow/inconsistent. I have used Neutrino ROM and stock CM7 and liked them both. I prefer Neutrino these days because I like a clean minimalistic OS, but your mileage may vary there. That said once ICS is out in force and drivers are updated, I will be hauling ass to ICS as I prefer it a LOT more than GB.

Use unlocked Atrix 4G from canada in india
(Sorry to hijack the thread. I need to decide very quickly and cant start a new thread as i'm a new member)
Hi All,
I'm planning to buy a unlocked Atrix 4G from canada and use it in India.
(my cousin will be coming from canada in few days)
I got the online deal from newegg.ca at $360. (still a new member so cant paste link here)
Here are few questions I have:
1. I'm pretty sure it is a good deal, but can someone confirm if its worth buying at apprx $360 ?
2. Apart from no radio, does it have any other major cons that I should be aware of?
3. I love to flash/root my phones for complete customizations, i've seen a lot of really cool custom roms in the Atrix 4G forum here. But in some forums I read the bootloader is locked for some phones. my question is, is already unlocked for a unlocked phone? if not, is it easily unlockable?
4. (Dumb question at last ) Will there be official ICS update for Atrix 4G? I dont plan on using the official one, but I hope there will be enough awesome custom roms based on official one.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Arpit

Config specs of Atrix 4G seem pretty capable to run all kind of high graphic games.
Just want to confirm if it has no issues running any games.
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a non-huge Android phone - I'd like to be able to use it with one hand. I'd prefer 3,7", but I think 4.0" is acceptable too. What could you recommend?
I need:
1) Good and stable WiFi Tethering (Hotspot, not peer-to-peer access point).
2) Speed - I'm upgrading from a HTC Hero, which even after rooting with VillainROM isn't really the fastest...
3) Removable battery - so One V isn't an option
What I have found so far:
• Sony Xperia Sola - but I heard it has bugs in tethering on Android 4.0.3
• Motorola ATRIX 4G - seems to have really great specs, very popular here on xda, but it's 4.0", also I don't know about the crapware that Motorola includes?
• Samsung Galaxy S Advance - 786MB whereas the Atrix 4G has 1024MB, will this be noticeable? otherwise the specs are the same, but the Galaxy has a nice AMOLED screen. Unfortunately also 4.0"
• Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 - 3.8" so pretty much the size I'm looking for, but only 0,8GHz CPU, whereas the S Advance has 1,0GHz. Will this be noticeable?
• Nexus S - 4.0", pure Android which is nice, but the specs are much worse than of the Galaxies...
What would you guys advice? Thanks for your help in advance!

The Atrix is nice, the screen isn't too big, and neutrinoROM can make it lightning fast.
Edit:Motoblur is actually useful, and you can make a lot of use of the features included, there's not much bloatware preloaded.

[Q] Hello, I am not a big fan of Sense, for some reason I prefer having the normal Android user interface. So, my question is, which is the best ROM for our HOX+ that does not include Sense?
Thanks for your responses!
I've had my Photon for a while now and getting a little bored. For those of you who successfully...somehow...were able to install Jellybean, is there a huge difference? Is it worth the hassle?
Greetings! I was curious if it was possible to upgrade an LG Intuition VS950 running Android 4.1 to Android 5.0 ? Or possibly 4.4? I don't believe it will do an over the air upgrade.
Thanks guys and gals for all your help!

Curious if you found an answer. Currently looking at purchasing one of these VS950 to replace a Moto Droid Maxx with a broken screen. But the deal breaker is if the VS950 could be upgraded to 5.0. I've came across several websites that claim to have an upgrade to 5.0 via android ROM Manager app, but at the official ROM Manager site nothing shows for the VS950.
need this answered too
I am also looking for an answer to this - I had this as a phone and after getting a new phone I want to use this is a small tablet......but want to upgrade beyond the basic Android 4.0 - to at least 4.3 - How do I do that now that it is no longer connected to anything but wifi?
