Hello xda-developer community,
I have multiple questions, so please forgive me, that i put them all in this Thread
Okay my first Questions would be:
Is there browser-flash intigrated?
Can i play Flash Videos from various sites with it, for example myvideo/break etc without a app?
Second Question is:
Can i use this mobile device without a Contract which has Wireless Plan?
Note: I'm using the Internet when I really need to, so i don't have a contract which covers Data, this means I cant let the Internet run 24/7.
Third Question is:
Does the Alarm Clock work, is there even one?
I'm truly sorry for my nuubishness, on every page i visited people said different thing, just need this to clear out everything i need to know.
Yours Truly

There is but its not perfect. Its called Uzard and you'll be able to find by searching xda, I think its in the themes and apps section.
If you want to view a lot of flash content then Id reccomend running an android build from your sd card. Its a lot better for flash.

You can, however.......... You will need to install a program to automatically disconnect the data connection after use. I would recommend "WM Long life" or "Touch Tools". You can find them over in themes and apps....
You might want to disable things like automatic weather updating and HTC Peep or at least set them to only update every now and then......

For me, no it doesnt. Not reliably anyway......
For 97.5% of people the alarm function works fine. There are other apps out there like "klaxon" or G-Alarm" if you need them.
Hope thats helped...........
Hi All,
I have a few Atrix specific queries.
It might sound dumb but i really want to know.
1. Whats the actual difference between Atrix and Atrix 4G.
2. Tegra 2 - HP H.264 Video playback Issue , can it ever play HP H264 videos via some software update or 3rd party player. Link
3. Android 2.2 supports sharing mobile internet on a wifi network by setting the mobile as a wireless router or hotspot , does this feature work out of the box on atrix.
4. Is there a hardware required to be present on the phone for NFC or when motorola releases the Android 2.3 update , NFC will work on the atrix as 2.3 enables NFC on the phones.
I really liked this phone a lot but with so many unanswered questions cant make up my mind.
Will keep posting my queries here.
Thanks.

There is no difference between Atrix and Atrix 4G, Atrix is just the European version. Tethering out of the box will get you charged by Att, you want to root to avoid that. And the Atrix does not have a NFC chip.

If you jus start using the tethering than Att will add a tethering package to your bill. You want to root to get PDAnet which gives free tethering.

I think that what he means, is that if you go into the phone and enable/set up the tethering option, ATT will know this and switch you to the data plan with tethering.
This can be avoided by rooting the phone - which if you have access to a pc is extremely simple and can be done in basically a one-click process.

So we should use an app like Wifi tether? Or do we have to use PDA net?

Any tethering app that doesn't let Att find out about your tethering.
I don't get what's the big deal with NFC. For one, the technology is hardly even used in the US currently... and even if it was, it'd still probably be few and far between. It's about as big of a perk to me as a gyroscope (Ha).... which isn't much of one at all.

I stay in India and we dont have ATnT here i will be continuing with Vodafone
when Atrix launches here.
I am not aware of term rooting as i am new to android world , but will it be possible to root atrix easily so that i can share my internet over wifi using atrix as hotspot.

Atrix is very easy to root especially with a computer.

Well.... if you have been following the iPhone world, think of rooting as jailbreaking. In short, it basically gives you access to and control of every folder on the phone's internal storage (or to a certain extent). Allows you to modify things such as the launcher used, themes, hopefully in time the bootloader, etc...

Rooting your phone will void the warranty if you leave it there, but the process is reversible and it is fairly easy to unroot and cover your tracks.
Rooting comes from Unix terms. Rooting gives you root access by making you the administrator/superuser.
The h.264 performance should be improved by a software update that is planned for the future. Heard that form a buddy with some information on such deals. It was known that the Atrix would release without the ability to do 1080p and such files but that a software release would unlock the native support from the chip.
More Queries.
1. Can someone comment on the browser text rendering is it readable or hazy.
How well is the pinch zoom , is it responsive.
2. How many people are facing the random reboot issue , is it after rooting or users who have not rooted are also facing it.
3. Are all the apps displaying properly on the qHD resolution.
4. How is gaming on this device.

1 - Yes , is this yes for readable or hazy , i saw a video review on youtube of the atrix where a full site was loaded and the text was not clearly visible until the site was fully zoomed.
2 - You sure that the phone itself has no random reboot issues.
3 - So there are still some apps that still dont support the qhd resol , do they refuse to load completely or show some odd formating or show some borders.
* Sorry for all this lame queries.

1) Perfectly legible to me.
2) Mine has yet to reboot by itself after 12 hours of usage.
3) So far, all of them load for me but the graphics may not be sized appropriately. Words With Friends is a good example.
After reading all the issues faced by so many users , i am wondering if everyone is facing these issues on there atrix or only some.
Is it after rooting or on the stock phone itself.
How can motorola release a phone with so many bugs was there testing team sleeping or what.
Users complaining about phone screen freezes after alarm snooze , this is ridiculous
Music player , thats the most basic functionalty.
Motorola should have delayed the release if they already knew about these issues.
I am still wondering if everyone is facing all these issues on there atrix or is it that some handsets are buggy ?
I am having almost none of the issues so far. Only one I noticed is the camera is not great and can take bluish photos if the led is the main light source.
Hi Dev's/fOmey,
firstly I'd like to say thank you to ALL developers/ROM chefs/Kernel makers for feeding my addiction.
I'd like to especially single out fOmey for building the Null_ ROM's,
I have used them on my S3 for some time now after trying a lot of other ROM's and as a VERY fussy user in his 30's ( I'm so old :'-( ) your ROM is the only one that so far and with a bit of tweaking has come sooooooooo close to ridding me of my ROM addiction/affliction by being soooo close to perfect for me.
The horrible irony is that I can't help myself when it comes to shiny new gadgets so less that a week after spending months (I **** you not) getting my S3 how I wanted it, those nasty men at Samsung dangle the S4 in front of me........bastards!
I can't resist, I have to have it, so I now am the proud (and slightly ashamed) owner of the I9505 (and an S3) and I can't carry them both around with me without revealing to everyone what a hopeless hardware loving nerd I actually am.
Now for the begging part, please please please PLEASE tell me that someone's going to work on a I9505 ROM that has the features included in Null_ ROM! :fingers-crossed:
You see ....... I'm not well. I need to have the following to allow me to be the ultimate nerd!
In no particular order this is what I need to work in order for my head not to explode
Ext2-4 SD card support
So I can symlink the folders I need to my SD which in turn I can encrypt and cloud sync.
IR remote control app
So I can use my phone to control the TV, HiFI, DVD and THE WORLD! (last one's optional)
Underclocking
So I can get the best battery life possible.
Virtual CD emulation
So I can use DriveDroid to boot my fully encrypted PC's using Trucrypt rescue disks instead of the unprotected standard bootloader.
Virtual Keboard/mouse emulation
So I can use my phone as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Lockscreen Torch via home button
Because I am scared of the dark!
Call Recording
So I can use Total Recall to automatically record my calls!
Sound Mod
Like the ACID Mod so I can effectively block out the world
Visual customisation
Like the JKay framework
Transparent Multiwindow
Because duh !?!!
Per app DPI
See above
Can I please have all of this like yesterday so I can make a real effort to never look at another article showing the latest and greatest phones.
If not is there a support group I can join for other afflicted souls like me :cyclops: !?!?!
HELP!
Virtual Keyboard Mouse Emulation
Look at an app called Wifi mouse, you have be on the same wifi network for it work.
bro kindly just be patient most of what u mentioned are tweaks u can install on your Rom so wait a bit and they will be floting around soon
posting in the i9505 will be more helpful

Thank you for the idea Gordon.
I've had a quick look at this b4, unfortunately it requires a "server" program to be installed on the host machine.........that's the worst I can say about it though as it works rather well other than that.
Ideally I was looking for phone to be recognised as a keyboard and mouse over either a bluetooth connection or even a cable that would work OTG style.

Excuse me but "patient" ....... what is this strange yet potentially wonderful concept that you speak of?
So I've posted in various forums on certain ROMs with questions about things, but I just haven't been able to seem to find the right fit yet.I love AOSP and the ability for customization, Active Display, etc. Maybe someone can help me out here if I say what I'm looking for. Perhaps someone knows if these things are in a certain AOSP ROM. Here's three things:
1.) Hotspot that allows me to see who's connected and maybe name the device that's connected (i have a few things that connect to the hotspot)
2.) Native SMS app that allows me to continue to type after reaching 160 characters (some stock apps stop progress at 160)
and
3.) I know it probably can't be native, but some sort of S-PEN functionality (I use "Screen Write" a lot)
Anyone have suggestions based on this? Thanks for your continued help and development!

1. HotSpot usually has Access-Control which (when enabled) displays who is connecting or trying to connect (you can allow or deny)
2. I've never run into this. I am pretty sure Hangouts doesn't have this.I prefer 3rd party SMS anyway
3. For AOSP S-Pen use CM S Pen Add-on(ROOT)
I hope this helped some, good luck!
Thanks, but regarding your first point on aosp the only options for setting up the Hotspot are ssid, security type and password, is there another spot to bring up access control? Thanks for the other info!

It is probably ROM dependent, which ROM are you using at the moment?
EDIT: you might try this WiFi Tether app, always backup first just incase.

Use network spoofer app for these. It can kick off others and change their browsing sites.
