Database Develop

Atrix HD vs Nexus 4

Which phone is a better value to me? I need a stop gap phone until the Note 3 or some next gen phone.

The nexus 4:
Better SoC quad core s4 pro
Android 4.2.2
Better build quality
But dunno about the development their at the atrix hd

I prefer the build quality of the Atrix 10 fold. The nexus feels cheap and plasticy. And we have a steady stream of 4.2 roms coming now.

i would go n4 in a heartbeat, sorry... its a true nexus device and has immense support. our development almost died because one guy left for a while... :crying:

N4 is 100 times better than AHD...

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

The part about the build quality

N4 has good build quality IMHO. Very luxury feeling. Just the glass back will get micro scratches all over it from minimal use and it will shatter with the slightest bit of a drop.

I think he meant where is this steady stream of ROMs lol and I have to say In wouldn't get an atrix again if I could do it over , the battery life if horrible and for it being dual core and a gig of ram its slower then my Samsung focus but this is my first android device and I'm beginning to figure out how to properly use the OS.Just my two cents .

Well considering we have 6 not counting the multiple more from the razr we can use I'd say it's a pretty large selection. If you can't find one you like.. You have a problem lol.

Especially now that I'm pretty much doing nightlies....sometime 2 PAC's a day. I plan on getting AOKP set up for possibly Youngunn2008 to start doing builds for us (its hard to do more than one rom and give both the time they deserve). We have CM10.1, PAC, Carbon, all from source, AOKP to come, PA Ports from Echo (will be source eventually). We've been unlocked for such a short time and our devs have made tons of progress. Give it a bit more time and I believe we'll soon have an epic phone. Kinks just gotta get unkinked.

hell ya if you setup the repos ill build aokp no problem. lol we'll get this going together!

I was going to pick up a Nexus 4 today. Held one in my hand and loved the look and feel of the device. But I realized that my Atrix HD was still a great phone that full filled my needs perfectly. And with a good chance that we'll receive a 4.2 update I decided against buying the Nexus 4. But I ended up buying a Nexus 7 and am in love with it.

If I already had the AHD and the decision was to buy an N4 or N7, I'd buy the N7 as well. I already have the phone, I don't have a tablet.

Which ROM is the most Stable?

I just bought this phone for a family member overseas and I want to make sure they have the best experience possible. I searched through all the ROMs and it doesn't seem like an there is an easy choice.
I saw a CleanROM thread which seemed to promise what I want, but it looks like the rom was pulled and there is all sort of weirdness going on there (dead fathers and other weird ****).
I look at CM10.1 by epinter, but the "alpha" branding and the bluetooth audio issue is scaring me a little bit.
What recommendations do you guys have? Do you guys think I should just leave the phone the way it is?

Stock the phone runs fine if you wanna put something smooth and bug free really the only option is holoblur
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

Stability wise :
4.1.2 Mexico Retail stock rom is best.
holoblur
cm

Holoblur is the best of both worlds it has everything debloated but has better battery life and its stock based

I run PACman and I love it, but if you want stability, go with HoloBlur.

I also vote for holoblur

I been running CM 10.2 - 07/30 dhacker build and haven't had no issues no lag or FC the only draw back is the battery drains fast only get about 5hrs with moderate use; but it doesn't bother me and i also flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip for 4.3 to regain root.

I have PACman and LOVE it, other than the bluetooth it is awesome. I've had a few random restarts, but only like 2 over the course of 2-3 weeks. It does drain the battery, but I have the eb40 battery coming so that won't be an issue.

Great since now, after couple of days on test, think I buy the application. I like it till now and besides great improvement of battery has several types of charging mode.

Upgrade time - How's the CM experience?

Upgrade just came up and I was considering getting the One. Loved CM10 on my Epic Touch 4G and was curious what the experience was like on this device. The button configuration seems odd on this phone so I wanted to get people's thoughts. Also, is the camera as bad as some say?
Thanks in advance.

But the HTC one is riddled with QC issues and doesn't really improve much over the last Gen of phones. The next Gen has snapdragon 800, 3000 mAh batteries and whatnot. Plus, the 800s are really close. Like the G2 is already here.
The One isn't that good IMHO. The camera is overhyped really and the number of defects people are reporting make this phone worth skipping.

To stay on track with your question the CM experience is something I don't think someone in their right mind would recomend. Hell it has a tendency to burn up some phones and need replaced.
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I agree if your sole decision is CM. Then wait. Cm was better on my gs3 than on here. It's pretty buggy and as has been said there are many reports of people's phones bricking cause of cm. To the quality control issue... I have had none, this phone has been great in that regard... But maybe I'm just lucky . In all honesty, overall this is the best phone I've ever owned. I don't think you'd go wrong with this phone.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

My $0.02:
For the short while I was able to use CM, I wasn't exactly blown away. It was exactly the same as my GS2, but with better specs. There were no extra features or anything. It looked nice with Black Infinitum, but again, not really different from my old phone. There were some bugs, so...
And you do have to watch out for the max freq lock, which will burn up your phone as it sits.
EDIT: However, CM Nemesis is coming soon. I would still wait for for a new device with better specs, but hey, this is a fairly new device.

I really haven't had any issues since 10.1
Sent from my One using XDA Premium HD app

I used it for a week while on vacation and while it was nice to see a less bloated One with all the additional customization .. there were several issues and features that made me go back.
The biggest was GPS lock - I could not get a steady lock and if I did the radius was quite large, throwing me all over the map.
The phone actually seemed less responsive overall - including a slight delay when turning on the phone.
Missed the htc car app - google car and the ones from the market are not the same
and the IR - now it has only come in handy once, when my remote died; however, the remote can be fun at the bar

The HTCOne is a unique phone, the button layout is strange and is my biggest headache. Contrary to most posts above I like the CM experience on it better then sense, but this is my first (and only ever!) sense phone. I much prefer the AOSP experience. CM is lacking in a few places but core functionality is there and works good enough for me for daily use, for the record I'm on 10.2 20130819
Truthfully though I think I would wait for a new nexus device. I love the feel of the One in my hand but it's nothing amazing hardware wise.

No major issues for everyday use. I've been running nightlies since I got the phone. Battery life is awesome and no random reboots.

Just a quick check guys.
Does the music still sound wonky? 10.1 would make my songs really quiet then normal then quiet etc. It drove me crazy.
Also, does the wake still take like a second? That was also a problem with 10.1.

Well crap. Thanks though. Are these even recognized issues?

how patient will I be?

Well, with many thanks to jfbs and ArtfulDodger, my phone is alive again, after my ham-handed abuse. I had it stock for about a day before the desire to get rid of the bloatware made me root it. Now, it's rooted with the stock rom. Am I a reformed flashaholic? I don't know if I'm going to go back to the jb rom i was trying to get back on the phone, or will i stay with stock until kit kat makes it to the exhibit? I would love me some slimkat - j/s. They sat patience is a virtue, but I'm a 21st Century Digital Boy with the attention span of a gnat....

We do have KitKat I'm running it now

Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app

Guys even on the S2 with official updates KitKat is very buggy. It's a very fast ROM but it has to be the buggiest android release ever! I know a new OS has problems at times but geez we're to 4.4.1 now and still there are issues and ART is not cooperating much. I'd really wait a while before trying it.

Thanks for letting us know. I figured I would wait a bit, for the wrinkles to get ironed out. Still pretty early. I'm happy with the Exhibit right now, so I can afford to wait a bit.

That's good to know. I am sure AD is a serious power user, compared to me. I do know that when I read the OP there are still some things missing which I might use, but i will do some research. I might just hold my nose and put CM on my phone.... lol!

[Q] No signal bar after installing cyanogenmod

My signal bar always shows zero bars after installing cyanogenmod 10.1 I don't actually have no signal and it seems to be a visual bug. Any pointers or is this a normal thing to expect at this time?

Defintely not normal as I always had signal bars with every rom I loaded, custom or stock.

Although no bars are filled, is it indicating a complete loss of signal?

It's normal. There's a lot of older 4.2 roms they don't work on.

Pleawe read the thread for the rom. I would assume you are running tquetski's cmcm 10.1. It is a known issue because he built it for miui so he did libskia mods but u should check there first before you start a new forum and waste peoples time.
