Dilemma, Help me choose!

I bricked my captivate a little while back. Then I puchased an Atrix. I sent my captivate off, it was repaired, and I'll have it back in a couple days. Should I go back to the Captivate or keep using the Atrix?

unless the atrix has 2nd init or an unlocked bootloader, stay with cappy, otherwise bail to the atrix

I'm using it completely stock. If it wasn't for sideload wonder, I would go crazy. I love the power of this phone but hate motoblur. I also miss that AMOLED.

They have. They also have a stable gingerbread. However, they don't have the dev following the captivate does.

return atrix. keep cappy. upgrade to sgs II variant when applicable.

I plan on giving the atrix to her if I do. She needs a new phone. I have another upgrade coming for that SGSII. I surely can't live without one of those.

Actually the list was sorted by "before 2013" and "in 2013". The Atrix HD was in the "before" category.

It isn't in the "before 2013" category...the description would have stated "Will be upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) before 2013."

If you are going to release a phone, you need to push upates faster. Our devs on here could have had it built a long time ago and they have full access to everything. Moto needs to work faster and AT&T needs to stop sucking. They need to be a team for once and push this thing through!

Actually they said $100 towards a new Motorola phone on upgrade if you're eligible AND you have to send then your current device. Just to clarify for anyone who didn't read past the headline of that article back when it was new.

Yep. I like Motorola but I don't know what the hell they were thinking with that. Maybe they thought it worked for Samsung when they released the S3? I have no idea but it's a horrible proposal for anyone who knows how to sell their device themselves.

hard to believe Motorola these days.
I find anything Morotorla says these days. I've been trying to get the upgrade for my Atrix 4G and NO ONE at MOTOROLA has a clue about the program...... AT&T is just as bad.. Maybe we should actually blame GOOGLE, after all they do own MOTOROLA Mobility!!!

I just got an Atrix HD and this makes me sad. I had bought it after reading that it'll get JB before the year's end and now that is not the case. Meh.

Not to mention by the time they get an update out for anything, there will most likely be custom ROMs that run better than JB

I just don't understand the point. I didn't see a LOT of improvement on JB over ICS; so far I'm pretty happy with the stock rooted phone OS.
will JB cure cancer ?
I see it as a nice to have, not a deal breaker.

Bell unlocked bootloader

Just bought a bell attic hd with an unlocked bootloader. I know what unlocked bootloaders allow us to do, so my question is when will we see dev support for the unlocked variants?

Everybody has the one x, s3, or iPhone... I personally want my phone to be a great phone first of all. Good battery life, great radios, built well, decent storage. Since i couldn't afford the RAZR HD maxx, here i am. I'm pretty happy. Could always be better but for what I paid or didn't rather, im excited.

I traded my iphone 4s for this phone, this phone is much faster and the only thing the 4s beat this in is camera. Other than that, this is way better. I habe the maxx battery in my atrix

Ordered the maxx battery. But need some unlocked bootloader love.

I believe the quality on mine looks the same as the stock ICS camera app so it might be JB

not true. my bell AHD doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.
i think the only ones claiming to have an unlocked bootloader are the ones who bought sim-unlocked Bell AHDs online.
And those ones probably don't come from the proper Bell retail channels since they all should come locked.

Where is the at&t atrix 2 ???

Trying to root and rom my friends Atrix HD, he's with at&t,
I cannot for the life of me fine the at&t section.

Rooting and flashing a ROM is universal for the AHD. Carrier doesn't matter
Sent from my Atrix HD using Tapatalk 4

This isn't the atrix 2 bud. This is technically the atrix 3. And it's an att phone so the roms are based on att first off. But like he said carrier doesn't matter. Any rom for the phone will work. That's why it's just a Motorola atrix HD section.

Razr FTW? (for the wife)

Guys, my wife is tired of her att Atrix 4G, att really has a sucky lineup for Android phones right now.
Someone suggested a Razr I. Since its not supported by a US carrier how does it get its updates?
Is it a decent phone, unlocked of course, or Have you moved on to something else? Help me find a new phone for the wife
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 4

I'm on AT&T, and my razr I runs beautifully! Battery is by far one of the outstanding features of the device, I can easily use it for two days straight. I would only get the phone though if you're willing to root. Stock is experience is great don't get me wrong, but the roms offered on this forum are just so much better. As for updates, I haven't bothered to check in months. I'm not expecting the phone to get upgraded any further than 4.1.2, so the only updates I check now are on development section of the forum. In my opinion the only things we would really miss out on are lock screen widgets and trim support, but besides that I haven't felt that the phone needs updating.

I can't touch my wife's phone, lol. That said I'll probably unlock the bootloader and flash the stock boot logo back so she won't freak out, but keep it stock and rooted (for TiBu).
4.1.2 is cool. Her Atrix is still on GB. So picking up one of these babies from eBay won't be a bad thing to do huh? Very cool!
