Yeah I'm testing it now
It slows down the internet, apps are taking very long to start loading web data.
But when it starts, it's fine.

Seems to be eating battery even more.
Also it requires location services to be on which I had off by default.
Will give it another couple of days before uninstalling it.

Derp...
Usually, my phone lasts until the end of the day (about 14~18 hours)...
I was hoping this was gonna be better, even if it were just a beta...
I honestly didn't notice a difference with it on my AHD. I got my N4 in the mail friday so I'm I'm giving it a shot on that. The N4 has pretty good battery life by default though, who knows.
BatteryGuru actually eats up more battery life than it helps by waking up your device to change settings. Greenify does what this app is supposed to do and then some. Allows you to pick and choose which apps go into hibernation on screen off and doesn't periodically wake your phone.

Great device. I don't mind MotoBlur at all. If AOKP (my fav) was available I don't know if I'd even use it. I have root and that's all I need. Tons of bad reviews and I don't get why yet. Screen is second to only the One X. I've had just about any and every of the top popular devices you can think of. I'm sure I'll be on to the Note 2 once ATT drops it too, but the Atrix HD is great at it's price point. The internal storage is the only downside. It's fast and snappy stock. IMHO Moto has passed up HTC (bloaty, but highly functional and experience changing) for the best stock experience. The clock/weather/battery widget is so useful, screenshots don't do it justice. It's more than just time, weather and battery. The ability to swipe up on messaging, phone and other icons and see a quick (don't know what to call it) status area is great. The hardware is fantastic. All i needed was a different camera app and all is good.
If Moto was more "mod" and had 16gb storage this device would be an XDA favorite easy!!!
edit: BTW most of all the device is beautiful
Couldnt have said it better myself. With the battery mod and camera fix options, this is an AWESOME phone

And correction this screen> The One X screen. I have both phones and the picture is more clear and sharp on the AHD. This screen is the same as the iPhone 5. Put them side by side like I did. They're both the same pixel, clarity and resolution wise. The AHD is the phone to have now.
Be sure to get:

RazrMaxx battery

For now it is, once our devs get that 3.4 kernel working we'll be able to have all the roms the N4 has with little issues. As is we already almost can. Between us, RAZR, and Photon Q, there is only a small handful of devs and kangers.
Our biggest problem is no one stays long enough before they jump ship. I'll be here for the next year and a half minimum so there ya go (upgraded contract and received AHD in March). Even if I were to get a new phone I'd still keep up with PAC for us cause I'd use my AHD as a portable game system/mp3 player -- I plan on getting one of these in the next month (have to finish up this job we're on so I have the $$$). I should probably get a MAXX battery as well.
I'd go N4

i am about to buy a phone for myself and the atrix and the htc one s are my two options if the moto 'x' is not affordable by me. i wanted to know if the phone is any good. if i ask the question on any other thread some guy who has never used the device will answer the question. comming form the htc thunderbolt and a life-time of misery i wanted to also know if there are any serious problems with the device.
The only drawback I've had is night time photos. But I don't generally use my phone as a camera so yeah fine lol.

Same way ya swap on an iPhone, unscrew the case apart and put the new one in.
The only problem with Moto Phones is the lack of updates to them, though that's usually the fault of the carriers, not Moto. That's where the scene comes to the rescue and provides us with more roms than we care to use.
Looking at the rumored specs, the X is nothing more than an updated RAZR\Atrix HD. Everything is the same, except no sd card (I really hope that isn't the case), a gig more ram, slightly better cameras, slightly faster cpu, much better gpu, same screen size, same resolution, same motherboard (msm8960). I also think we'll be running the X's 4.3 within a week or two, a month tops, of its release, they're that similar.
Whichever phone you get, you'll be happy.
Most of us here are gonna be getting an X by years end and will repurpose the Atrix as a glorified mp3 player, wireless nic adapter, portable streaming media center (VuDu, NetFlix, Hulu, Prime), etc.

Motorola (even in spite of being under Google's control now) will pull the same crap they did with the Atrix 4G and Photon: they'll keep saying "future plans" or "coming soon" or "we'll let you know" and then they'll just drop a bomb as they already did and say "if you want KitKat, go buy a candy bar or a new phone..."
Sad but more than likely true.
It really pisses me off since Google is pushing KitKat with marketing-speak that professes it runs great on non-top-tier hardware with as little as 512MB of RAM and a dual core processor, and yet with a device like the Atrix HD which covers that (dual core 1.5 GHz + 1GB of RAM) they'll just say "It's not gonna happen so get over it." I know in the long run it would be AT&T's decision whether to do it or not, but it's safe to say that no, we'll never see an official 4.4 update for the Atrix HD. Hell, I probably won't get one for my LG Optimus G either, which truly sucks.

AT&T doesn't even factor into us getting stock better than 4.1.. We have more carriers than just AT&T, not many, but we do -- Atrix HD already has 4.1.2 stock, where AT&T Atrix HD is only 4.1.1. Also, rumor has it that AHD Bell is running 4.2....almost makes me want to flash Bell JB just to run a system update on it....almost. If someone does flash B 4.1.2 and gets an update, don't install it, notify us so it can be ripped and made into a rom first. Don't want to accidentally f**k yourself out of an unlocked bootloader.
Remember that as long as ANY device of the razr-msm8960 family gets better than 4.1, then all the other devices essentially get it.
I know I'm saying att personally sucks at updates as your post just confirmed lol.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
To be fair to AT&T, Motorola is/was just as bad. Look at the Bravo, Defy, Defy+, Milestone 2, and a few other similar phones, between the 4 the biggest differences are 3 different camera modules, a hardware keyboard, the below screen button layout, and maybe some slightly different sensors....Moto released the Defy+, which is the exact same as the Defy only clocked to 1ghz and had the red lens camera module (OG Defies had 5mp cameras, but some had a red lens module and the other green, Milestone had red 5mp, Bravo green 3mp).
Now on the custom scene, Bravo and Defy use the exact same sources other than camera and, I think, some proprietary lib differences. Milestone is the same other than the hardware keyboard additions, and maybe some more...been a while since I've messed with that platform.
Bravo latest is stock froyo 2.2.1 (there is a 2.2.2 model around)
Defy is froyo 2.2.2 (there is a leaked 2.3.4 GB)
Defy+ is GB 2.3.6
MS2 is GB 2.3.6
All these phones could have easily been updated by Motorola, but its easier to not update them and make us get new phones.
Stock Bravo is the worst stock experience ever, and my first Android. Four hours in and I was rooted and on a custom rom, BravoX.
They all run CM10.2 thanks to Quarx and many other talented devs.
What's funny is I bet ya that more than half of XDA's members are here because of the Manufacturer/Carrier release fiasco that always happens. If they didn't want us messing with our phones then they should give us something that doesn't completely suck, like our Stock ICS...Other than TB, governor type crap, etc I could use that without root any day of the week and be happy with it.
