First Motorola phone for me..

And not bad. I do miss my HTC Sensation though. But the droid bionic is pretty cool. Plus Verizon is very fast! Picked up the phone and extended battery for about 300$. Got the phone for $250 and extended battery for $25. I do notice the pentile qhd screen but its really not that bad. I can get used to it. Hows everybody elses holding up?

I'm getting a Bionic at the end of the month and I'm pumped! I'm a Samsung fan, I currently have an Infuse and I wonder how sub par the qHD screen is compared to the superamoled+. From the videos I've seen the UI looks better than touchwiz by far.

Mine will be coming in Friday and I'm relieved to be going back to a 4.3 after having been on the Droid 3 for a bit. Interesting, my son noticed today on my old Thunderbolt that he's now lighting up 4G. No warning or announcement, just all of a sudden we've got the 4G at my house. It's like Verizon gave me a bonus for ordering the phone on Wednesday. Can't wait.

Unless you're constantly holding the phone 3 inches away from your face, you will barely notice. Some colors are a bit wonky, but I go optimistic route and just think "Hey, they updated the theme!"
I cam from the Charge, and there is no substitute for the amoled+. But, to me, the rest of the phone keeps any short comings of the screen to minimum. Except the stock keyboard, that is the only thing I do not like. Too bright compared to the rest of blur.
edit: #1 software feature a larger recent apps window. I don't know if this is normal for blur. But, hell yeah more than 8 apps. The one I always wanted on my Charge and Incredible would always be just one listing short.

I too am switching from HTC land. I was using an EVO on sprint and my work just switched to Verizon 2 moths ago and I got a Thunderbolt. The Bionic seems to be a great phone but at the moment I do really miss Sense UI. The battery on the Bionic already seems light years better than the Thunderbolt.

Same here. My first android device, the Thunderbolt, was purchased on launch day so I've had about 6 months of the sense UI and I do miss it a bit. I also notice the pixelation of the pentile screen but I only really see it when watching high quality youtube videos. I streamed a good portion of the Saints-Packers game over a 4G connection last night and didn't notice the pixelation at all. It will take some getting used to.
I love the phone so far. Feels nice and light in the hand. Still not sure if it is $300 better than the Tbolt though.

I'm waiting on my Bionic from Amazon Wireless. I couldn't take T-Mobile's network any more. Could you give some more comparison thoughts with the Sensation?

[Q] Vivid/Skyrocket/Nitro

So I am Unlimited AT&T legacy customer that just went out and baught the HTC Vivid. I baught the Vivid for a couple reasons.
-Upgrade was advailabl a couple months ago. I wanted to lock in my Unlimited Plan before they start deploying LTE in my area. I wanted one the Dual Core, 4.5" screen, LTE phones.
-The display look much sharper sitting next to Skyrocket in the store. Looking at the AT&T Widgets that were the same on both phones. You can really tell the sharpness of the Vivid's screen in comparisance.
-Build quality was more "Solid." Weight was not a defining issue for me.
-I baught a first generation Captivate. So I got burned by the GPS issue. So the Samsung Skyrocket was going to have to be perfect.
-The Nexus is not going to come out for AT&T anytime soon, I think.
-I did not relize that the LG Optimas existed and is coming to AT&T as the Nitro
I am looking for some feed back on why other folks baught the HTC Vivid? Is HTC a solid company when it comes to updating? Do folks have high hopes, looking forward to, Sense 4.0 and ICS? Do any folks have any experince with LG? Did I make the wrong choice now that the LG Optimas is coming to AT&T as the Nitro? The last, and most important, do folks see a solid group of XDA Developers doing their magic on the HTC Vivid?
Now when I got burned with the purchase of the early build Samsung Captivate, and it's horrible GPS. The only thing that made the purchase worth it was the XDA Developers Community and all the effort they put in to it. So in the end I am looking to see which of the LTE, 4.5", Dual Core phones is going to get the most XDA Development, and be a good phone.
Thanks for any responses/opinion

As far as dev support, the Skyrocket has real root, and can run TMo S II ROMs already.
LG has a worse record if possible than Samsung for Android updates. Plus, they don't have much of a following. The build quality is great, but check out the Ghost Town of the Thrill forum. That phone came out in September, its already been passed over by all the dev support.
If you want high end android phone with dev support and don't mind losing LTE the original Galaxy S II is the best phone on ATT. Its almost identicle to the international version. There were ROMs for this phone within 24 hours because all the work on the i9100 was not lost. The first phone on att with ICS will probably be that phone. I would not be surprised if we have ICS before (if at all) att has a subsidized Galaxy Nexus.
I too came from the captivate. I never had the GPS woes everyone else complained about. It was slow to get a lock, but worked solid for me from that point. The i777 original Galaxy S II is much faster to get a lock, but not as fast as my wife's iPhone. I am extrely pleased with my i777, but I don't gave LTE, and would be surprised if I have it next time I upgrade.
I bet the Vivid will pick up a lot of the Inspire crowd, but I don't think it will rival any of the Samsung phones of late.
If I had LTE coverage to play with I might have been tempted, but its still first Gen LTE phone for att, so that scares me from both the vivid and skyrocket.

I actually wound up with one of my Lines being the LG Thrill and that phone is still stuck with Froyo so yea LG has a VERY Bad record of keeping up with updates considering the Thrill isn't even that old. As for the Skyrocket it seems to have a bit of a banding issue like white lines when you are watching movies or what not that is quite aggravating. Oh yea also forgot the Skyrocket Does not seem to have FM Radio built in. It does have an NFC chip though which is kind of a bonus but with the horrid screen it really depends on what your looking for in a device. If you want a fast phone out of the Box and something with NFC than the Skyrocket is what you will want. If you want a phone that has Wonderful resolution and will Be most likely Just as fast as the Skyrocket once it gets root than I would go with the Vivid.

After having owned both the Skyrocket and the Vivid for a few days, here are a couple of my thoughts. I hope this helps your decision process. This is all just my opinion.
I like the feel of the Skyrocket in my hand better.
The Skyrocket's web browser is not resizing websites when you pinch to expand. The Vivid does.
The Skyrocket's screen colors are brighter than the Vivid's, but light colored websites and text on a full white background is significantly dimmer.Reading ebooks is better on the Vivid, or--for that matter--my Inspire.
The Skyrocket has the charging/USB port where it belongs, on the bottom. The Vivid's is on the side. That's worse for charging cradles and using the phone while charging.
I like the screen resolution on the Skyrocket better. Fonts are easier to read for those with less than perfect vision. Some of the Vivid's Fonts are downright tiny.
The Vivid works flawlessly with my Motorola H17 headsets. Cyberon works great. The Skyrocket has been basically useless with the H17; how it works with voice command I don't know. This may be a compatibility issue, but still...
Synching to Outlook with the Vivid is painless and free with HTC Synch. Synching to Outlook with the Skyrocket is a PITA and costs $50. (For the third party PC program.) Perhaps there's a better way I haven't found.
Volume is FAR better on the Skyrocket.
Battery life is better on the Skyrocket.
The Vivid can turn Bluetooth volume down further. That's a big deal when on the phone with a loud talker.
Sense (Vivid) is better than Touchwiz (Skyrocket).
Both have data issues right now.
Both are plenty fast enough.

I understand liking super amoled more but actually preferring lower resolution? You must be one of few. Just resize the fonts if they're too small.

Doors anyone know anything about the LG Nitro? It seems to be a solid device specifications wise. How much damage does LG do with their launcher/modifications.

Many system fonts are not resizeable. Go android. One of the few? Anyone who's vision is less than perfect and doesn't want to put on their reading glasses to use the phone. Now, I believe once the phone is rooted there are apps that can change pixel density? So there probably is a way down the road to fix this. But I'm just talking out of the box experience here. Anyone with the skill/desire to get into that will disregard what I'm saying anyway. I'm just trying to help the unskilled masses make their decision.

So I start this off with a disclaimer that this is complete hearsay and in no way from an authoritative source. But! I was talking to a friend of mine who works for Samsung America in the PR department about phones, and I asked her about the Galaxy Nexus. While she wouldn't really say much, she did say that if I wanted it on AT&T, I'd have to wait till the end of the 1st quarter or beginning of the 2nd quarter in 2012. So, at some point in the future, the Galaxy Nexus will likely be available for AT&T, but it'll probably be a ways off.

I have heard both good AND bad about LG phones, but this thing looks too tempting to pass up. My week old SGS II will be heading back to AT&T as soon as the Nitro drops.

I was debating the nitro once i heard about it but after having the skyrocket and relazing the only benefit is the screen thats where it stopped. I feel that the dev community and just overall software upgrades (skyrocket is confirmed for sandwich 100%) and other lack of issues on the bulletproof skyrocket makes me believe that i made the right choice. Every time i play with the vivid and skyrocket, yes the crispy screen is nice but once you take them away from side to side the skyrocket isn't too bad.

Media guy here - i have a new in box Nitro HD, LTE, for AT&T, if anyone wants to buy it. PM me if interested. I got to play with it/review it extensively, and it's LG's best efforts to date. The G2x is crap against it, and LG has really stepped it up.
They gave us Nitro HD's to keep, but I'm on T-Mobile, and as much as I'd like to use the Nitro HD, I don't want to use it on Edge, T-Mobile connection, hence my reason for selling. If you want to buy it from me, let me know - thanks!

I have the Nitro, new in box for sale. As I sad above, I am on T-MObile and can't use it. PM me if interested

I chose the Vivid over the Skyrocket because of the qHD screen and because it had an FM radio. I previously had a Captivate and loved the AMOLED screen, but after lengthy in-store comparison I felt the Vivid's was as good or better than the Skyrocket (at least at full brightness). Both seemed equally snappy. The Skyrocket was much lighter, but I decided I could live with the Vivid's weight.
Bought my Vivid the day it came out, and my only trepidation was, 'Please ATT, don't come out with any 720p phones in the next 30 days.' And sure enough, here comes the Nitro! But even if I could change, I don't think I would. Judging on the specs in Phonescoop (subject to change), the Nitro has the 720p screen, faster processor and lighter weight, but seems to be missing the following features:
- less RAM (720MB vs. 1GB for Vivid/Skyrocket) ** see Edit **
- less internal storage (4GB internal vs. 16GB)
- no FM radio
- no video out ** see Edit **
- possibly less battery life ** see Edit **
Will check out the phone on Monday. Like I said, I really wanted 720p, but I've seen the HTC Rezound in person, and while the text is sharper, it's really only noticeable at very close range - the icon sizes were the same despite having 78% more pixels. So for now, I'm still very happy with my Vivid.
PittFred
EDIT: The Nitro has DLNA, so outputting media on a TV is possible, just not with a cable. Also, Phonearena says the RAM is 1GB, so that 720MB might be the usable figure; comparable to ~800MB for Vivid. Confirmed the 4GB internal storage and no FM radio, which is a minor thing, but I wanted it after AT&T deleted it from the E71x.
The Nitro has an 1820 mAh battery, comparable to the 1850 mAh for the Skyrocket and better than the 1620 mAh for the Vivid, but worse claimed battery life, perhaps a function of the screen. 1800 mAh after-market batteries are available for the Vivid.
After review, the specs are much closer/favorable for Nitro, so it's more of a judgment call.
___
Cingular/AT&T since 2003
Nokia 6200 -> Treo 650 -> HTC 8525 -> Nokia E71/71x -> Samsung Captivate -> HTC Vivid!

RAM
Does 768 to 1GB of ram make a difference? This is some what of a deal breaker for me.

Quick update - the specs are up on AT&T's website. I went to LG's website and downloaded the manual for the Nitro HD (LG P930), and it says that video out by HDMI cable is possible, and over WiFi/Bluetooth/USB in more limited ways. Perhaps these differences are due to differences between international and Americanized models. If correct, Nitro's specs seem even more favorable.

$150 in my area, may have to swap for vivid. ARG

I'm going fir the og gs2 right after church. Vivid is nice but no root, battery life, and some what leggy ui... I came from ios and so fat I am disappoint with android but I think its the phone. Ever since I first got this phone I kinda wish I hadn't.

Just yesterday my phone didn't make it a whole day. I unplugged it at 7am and then watched some YouTube vids and by 7pm the battery was dead. Heck, at 6pm my battery said it had 40% battery and I used the navigation system for 5mins and it went down to 20%. Its kinda embarrassing when your friend ask for a flashlight so I had him my phone but the battery is to low for the flashlight to turn on. My other friend asked "I thought you had 45% battery an hour ago" and then hands his iPhone 4s to that guy. So no, this phone has been a disapointment. Sorry for the rant

If you think the UI is laggy then, trust me:
You have issues with Android. And may just want to go back to the iPhone.
Because as Android devices go, this phone is the smoothest I've ever seen.

Worth it?

I want to hear from yall who trade the s3 or 1x for to get the atrix hd. I work at a place that has it and playing around with it is smooth. I have the one x and the screen on the ahd looks a little better with detailed video and all that. Is it worth trading my one x for or selling to get the phone?

I will let you know over the weekend
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

I would take the Atrix HD over the One X
But I'd take the SGS3 over both.
A lot of the people who got the One X traded down to an Atrix HD
Battery life sucked the first two days I had it. I started using SmartActions and the battery extender that comes with it plus juice defender. I used my phone all day yesterday, I left it off the charger and still had 53% on my battery at noon the next day.
Thats about the same life span as an Iphone.
Hardware performance is great out of the SGS3 and the One X the Atrix HD is just as fast, or faster. Once it's rooted and some changes can be made to the build.prop I see the Atrix HD beating the SGS3 easy in performance. The LTE performance is worth it, and the Atrix HD keeps up with it well.
The phone feels solid, no loose parts that rattle, and the construction feels solid with no feeling of plastic flexing when holding the phone. The Kevlar weave pattern on the back look modern and the rubberish feel makes it secure in your hand for calls.
People complain about the Camera, but it could be a lot worse. For the most part its an improvement over the Atrix 2 which it replaced.
I use the Facial recognition and the front 1.3mp camera hasn't had any problems picking up my face in sunlight or indoor low light.
All of the camera issues can be solved if you know how to setup your shots instead of relying on software to auto focus & auto iso.
The One X just felt like a toy in my hand, and I couldnt stand the UI. The SGS3 is nice, but for the price I expected far better build quality, and the touchwiz launcher is downright ugly and belongs on the Iphone. With the Atrix HD everything is as close to stock as you can get except for the launcher and Circles widget.

Thanks for replying we have it at Wal-Mart wireless where I work and it cool just can't rely test it as much as I would like without getting caught playing with it all day. I had the s3 for about 3 days and didn't like it because of touchwiz. I like how the ui is basically stock android with Motorola's icons. It runs smooth without it being plugged in to these horrible chargers here at Wal-Mart which ruin these phones. I don't mind the little lose in the screen size since its not a big difference. Screen to me seems more detail than one x and colors pop more to me mabe not to someone else's eyes the only thing that I'm questioning is battery life since some say it's not good but if the smart actions work and the battery saver part does well then maybe I'll like it

If you didnt like the S3 and you dont like the One X, then you'll really like the Atrix HD.
At least I did and I know a few others who traded down from the SGS3 and love the HD
I got my Motorola Atrix HD in the black color cause I didnt see the white one, but they both look really sexy.
Edit: I hated touchwiz. I had it on my Captivate before I switched to Cyanogen. I miss my Captivate.

I love the one x but I've always like Motorola I had the photon on sprint I liked it a lot but I'm just one to go from one phone to the next. I put my sim in it and it picked up better signal and data speed than my one x where I'm at. Constantly. I'm in hspa+ and got average of 5 mps while the one x is 2-4

I dont get 4g in my house, but my 4g LTE coverage is awesome around here. I Constantly see 20-25Mbs Download and 15Mbs upload from my Atrix HD
It has a better Upload speed than my cable internet.

Thinking of dropping S4 and getting HTC one...

Like the title says I'm thinking of switching my the galaxy s4. My main concern is for the battery. I know this is extremely different for each person, but more than not I see people complaint about the battery life.
I average 4.5 hours of screen time and just wondering what most people are getting. I browse the web, do some email and texting and may use Pandora for a few minutes. Not a heavy user, but I do get on it at times.
If anyone else has made the switch what re ur likes/dislikes so far??

Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I have come from the s4 and have never looked back. The Samsung was not a bad phone by any means, but IMO this phone by far outshines it. Battery gets me through the day and than some with moderate to heavy screen time, two push email accounts, tune in radio, etc. I noticed that the Samsung lagged and stuttered at times, not the case with the HTC. Dual speaker beats audio, can't beat them. Only plus for Samsung is remove able battery and micro SD. But HTC comes with 32 gig which is plenty, if not store it in the clouds. I can go on and on, I have spent a fortune switching phones, I have owned just about all top tier phones in the US, and the HTC far exceeds any other that i have used. Hope that helps you out with your decision.

I have thought of coming over from S4 as well but heard there was problems connecting to lte is thus true
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I think the people saying it has trouble connecting to lte must be in cities where it was recently deployed because I haven't had any lte issues. Wherever my S3 gets lte so does the HTC One. I'm in Atlanta which was one of the first four cities to get lte so we have it everywhere.

I agree, I have the s4, icrap5, and the HTC. If I get lte on one of the 3 the HTC picks it up as well. I believe it just depends on how complete the towers are in areas of use.

I live the design of the one but will prolly out a case on it. With specs being pretty close I wasn't sure if it'd be worth the trouble. I think the screen on the one looks better.

Keeping my SIM unlocked M7 on T-Mobile because I get great LTE everywhere around Brea, Yorba Linda, Anaheim at $70 unlimited everything.
Using an upgrade for the M8 (Best Buy has Gold and Gunmetal Black for Sprint at $199) in about a week. The same area has great Spark coverage. My M7 is customized exactly how I want it with all of the possible extras but the M7 feels like an American muscle car (powerful sturdy with straight lines) and the M8 is like a Ferrari with blazing speed and great curves. I was using the store salesman model and I got a pop up to swipe up with 5 fingers I believe and I was instantly connected with 7 TV's across the store. I just hope Spark is somewhere near these pics I have seen ...the map says I am in the center of a big area of coverage

This is exactly the quandary I find myself in. Saw the m8 at Verizon and messed with it. Must say i was underwhelmed. Trying to decide now between N5 and M7, mostly.
Spark is wicked fast, but I don't know if my market will get it (just north of Seattle).

Sprint will be deploying B41 (2500Mhz) LTE all throughout West Washington. It isn't widespread yet, but count on it being fast
I have Spark at work in Tukwila on my Nexus 5 and it hovers between 40 and 50 Mb/s

If it only cost you around an "upgrade cost" it's worth upgrading. If you had to pay no contract price no it's not worth it.
My HTC One M7 has the original wide dynamic range dual mics. It's a very overlooked feature that just rocks.
Could care less about camera gimmicks.
Camera seems about the same. And it's fine.
I do like the SD card.
I still prefer the size of the M7, it was perfect. And it's weight.
Sound wise it sounds the same. And that's with beats off on the HTC One M7. With beats on I suspect M7 sounds better.
I prefer headphone jack on top.
Sense 6 is no biggy, but it is a tad nicer.
My wife has the HTC One M7 now. The clarity on phone calls between them is extremely good.
M8 does seem to pull LTE better and maybe transition better between 3G and LTE better (maybe). Does some funky things (Spark things I guess).
It's not a huge upgrade for sure.
