Do you think this would be a good trade? I have always liked Motorola, but my main questions...has the camera quality improved with the Jelly Bean update? Is the camera quality as bad as the reviews say? I'm not even how sure bad the quality was before Jelly Bean. Also, how is the speakerphone quality? Is it clear/loud?
I think the camera quality is great no problems here and the speaker is loud and clear definitely!! My friend has a s3 and I would definitely take my HD over it. The quality of this phone is way better than the s3 also!!

I had a chance to get an S3, I prefer the Atrix. I can't really say anything about the quality of the camera because I've never really payed attention to it, and I don't use speaker But the ROMs here are really starting to pick up and all that's left is the camcorder, and we've got amazing devs such as dhacker29, hashcode, and the famous dan rosenberg was here a while too. Dhacker and hashcode are working on a 3.4 kernel so it'll get good soon. And i think the community here is awesome and give the best advice. In my opinion i think the atrix is a good trade
Your s3 camera is superior to ours just because of Sammy's software. You may notice a difference. Lowlight shots are pretty bad on the ahd. Otherwise its a good camera. Motorola has a better feel and build quality over the s3 any day.

What they said. We buy Motorola because a Motorola is the only phone I've thrown pissed off hard from a truck at 25 miles per hour into a tree 30 ft away (a one in a million lucky shot), have that phone get rained on over night, and still work just fine without a scratch in the morning when it was found -- a razr flip phone....Only 25 mph cause you can only accelerate so fast on a gravel road
The camera will do in a pinch in decent lighting. Its not the worst but nothing to really brag about either. I will say that the HDR photos look good in stock jellybean, even in sup par lighting. Customs roms don't have HDR yet, or camcorder, but it's being actively worked on by talented developers.
Its a very solid device. I traded my One x for it and I'm very happy. Build quality is great and battery life is better than the One X. I feel as if the camera is good but the software is lacking. When using Instagram everything comes out crisp and clear. When using the stock camera pictures come out grainy. The speaker is loud without being muffled. Development is really starting to pick up which is great. Great phone.

Thanks for all the input! I have decided that I am definitely going to trade. Seems like a very solid device and motorola has always made good hardware. At least the camera "issues" can always be improved with software.

When I upgraded contracts earlier this year, I could have gotten the S3. I looked on XDA and saw the difference in development, but thought, its a Motorola, it'll pick up...never did I imagine that a few weeks later we'd be unlocked and the development would REALLY pick up. This is the best of both worlds. Motorola Quality with Unlocked Bootloader Development -- you can't ask for much more in the Android World.
I'll also say that our Development Team are some of the best devs on XDA. The things they've accomplished over the years is amazing -- I've followed some of our devs since I first started using Android.

The S3 has everything this phone has and more, including a better camera and custom ROMs with not only everything working, but also tweaked kernels that don't cause the phone to randomly reboot or have horrible battery life.
There is literally no reason to trade the S3 for this phone unless you drop/throw your phone at a wall constantly.
The battery life has a simple solution. Put the eb40 battery in. Then it trumps the galaxy. And I haven't had any random reboots on any of the new Roms.

last time i checked people were still having problems with battery swelling with the eb40.
also battery life alone does not trump the s3

Been running maxx mod with NO SWELLING. And build quality on s3 is sh!t. My phone shouldn't creak when I hold it. Everything else is great because Samsung doesn't secure their sh!t and the devs had A 6 MONTH HEADSTART ON US.
Why don't you trade for a s3 and be gone, or stay and HELP US. Cuz we are doing our very best to even have custom Roms. Do you want to go back a couple months to that purgatory we were stuck in? In a couple months maybe it'll even be up to your standards. Or maybe you'll find ANOTHER ISSUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

So I want to get a replacement for my HTC Desire HD.
But I am unsure what to get, the HTC x one is tempting cause I like sense, but I like the design better on the LG.
So anyone here tried both and will help me choose? Maybe even a third phone
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Well the 4X design is pretty sexy.. and it's got root now so you could flash sense on it
I can tell you that this is by far the best smartphone ive ever had it's amazingly fast, battery life is awesome , and display is better than One X. I sold my One X for this.

sure sounds good, its also a tad cheaper than the one x
In case I go for a used is there anything to look out for?

I could argue with someone who prefer HTC One X, but I doubt I can win the heart of SGS3 chooser, except they're price sensitive.
Also more phone with quad-core and less price will come up, so LG better gathering more ammo to gain more attention.

Well you got root on the 4X but you have locked bootloader. So for now there is nothing to flash.
So if you like to flash another rom the one x is definitively the better choice. They are getting CM10 like the S3, even I'm getting CM10 on my old galaxy S so I'm not convinced yet to upgrade to this

Sent from my LG-P705 using xda premium
Rooting IS possible.
i just compared mine to HTC OneX 2 days ago, since a family member got that. and really, it is pretty much the same just with the sense4 menu's and different camera features (speed of rolling snapshot) but quality and design, o4x feels better to hold in your hand.
my only dislike
screen activation when power button is pressed (see other threads if you want to know how widespread issue is or is not)
i'm quite happy with it. and its still affordable compared to htc's product in the same cpu range.
we had root'ing some weeks ago, and i personally contributed with a bootstrap ClockWorkMod edition, so we can utilize backups for now. custom roms with custom kernels seems a little far away. only custom roms using existing kernel is possible.

xactly by point, but it exists even after many,many reinstalls. but i survive, its quick enough as long as its within a few mins.
Well you got me convinced, I dont see why I should throw another 100euro after the one x, when their nearly identical in their specs.
I was kinda disappointed in htc support and updates, so I guess I dont expect much of LG either, but it seems ot me they released at least 3 smaller updates since release and hopefully jelly bean will come soon enough

the HOX has had a lot of updates since launch. The latest update with sense 4.1 fixes the lagging issue and improves the battery life too. And HTC has updated all their 2011 phones to ICS.

true story!
Everyone here owns one I assume.
Should I buy a droid 4?
And what are the pros and cons?
Online video reviews are way to biased
It's all up to you. If you MUST have a physical QWERTY keyboard, then it's probably one of the best choices, but here's my own list of pros and cons:
Pros:
-Decent dual core processor, can be overclocked up to 1.4 GHz using myfishbear's scripts
-One of the best hardware keyboards you can find on a phone
-Build quality is good, feels sturdy
-Call quality is clear, haven't had any dropped calls
-Screen is pretty bright when you need it to be
-Loudspeaker is... loud.
-4G speeds are supposed to be good, but I haven't tried
-8MP camera with 1080p video
-Docks available (I use a Motorola Atrix 4G dock that I bought for a cheap price, modified it a bit and works fine)
-Global use possible due with GSM
Cons:
-Screen's Pentile - nowhere near as clear as a non-pentile screen, e.g. HTC One X, it's not HD, and black levels aren't low enough at high screen brightness
-Camera's photos may be slightly washed out, definitely doesn't beat an iPhone 4S (as much as I hate to admit it)
-Limited ROM activity, like most Motorola phones (but there are good ones available)
-Accessories limited, as with all hardware keyboard phones (few choices in cases, etc.)
-Interface lags behind slightly at times, but very little
-Internals are outdated as of 2013, since quad-cores are the rage now
-Battery life won't last with heavy use
At present, the Droid 4 is close to the best you can get with a hardware keyboard, but don't expect the screen to astound you like the newer models' would. If you want a hardware keyboard and can wait, I'd suggest waiting for a successor, maybe a Droid 5.
Droid 5? Somehow I doubt that will ever come out. :-/

If you're mainly going to text, I can't see why it shouldn't last a day - as long as the screen brightness is kept low, and the Wi-fi off. You should try one out if you can first, to see if the screen's not a bother for you.

My razr hd for his droid 4 plus $100

JB was announced, but unlikely before summer imo. You got shafted my friend. People who are having problems, ie broken droid 4s are being given droid razr hds. I only use keyboards, thus only the droid line....put your phone in 3g and be happy. Batter life isn't bad per se, it is small however at 1785mah. Other than that, the phone is excellent. Screen is too bright for me, but that can be fixed.

i went to verizon and got my upgrade to razr HD (payed $199)
then verizon has a rebate for $50 (so take of $50 from that and now I only payed $150 for razr HD)
then met guy from CL, he gave me $50 plus a new droid 4
so in all actuality I only spent $100 to get this phone (with contract)
and I just bought the droid bionic lapdock (i read reviews and all says it works, even with ICS)
Im excited for that to come in the mail in a few days!

I just bought a lapdock for it as well
The only issues I have with it are the lag it seems to have once in a while and the battery is pretty bad.
But besides that I have to say I love this phone
Now I think droid 5 is possible...moto recently released that keyboard phone for at&t or sprint photon q or atrix q or something like that
So we will find out soon enough
i would recommend trying to freeze unnecessary apps. and uninstalling the bloatware. sped mine right up to 400mb free memory. now i can run any number of my apps and the multitasking works great too on ics. even after a reboot. didnt want to run a custom rom so i sorta cleaned up the stock to suit my needs with the root script and link2sd.
JB is supposed to be released soon. within the next 8 weeks i think, so will be looking forward to that. and we'll know if a droid 5 is on the way by the end of february.
would love a 13/16mp camera, 2 or more gigs of ram droid 5 with the new flexible unbreakable screens. that would pwn.

Hi Guys. This is my last Atrix HD forum post. Was lurking Craigslist yesterday and found a guy who wanted to trade his LG Optimus G for a Windows Phone 8, convinced him to take my Atrix HD + a Wii that's been sitting in my car for 3 months. Its ATT, Rooted+Unlocked, so I'm not too bummed about losing the atrix. I wish all of you guys the best of luck. I'm sure many of you, like me, came here from the Atrix 4G expecting this to be an epic successor to the first Superphone. However, for me, it ended up being largely disappointing. So I'm out, hopefully I'll have the pleasure of collaborating with some of you in the future. Good luck with BL unlocking, those who stay, that's really the only thing holding this phone back from being a dream. Peace out.

I don't miss the phone. The stock rom was very reliable, it had nothing else going for it though. Battery, screen, os, camera.
Looking forward to the SG4 and HTC One on March 15th though, hopefully they live up to their expectations, unlike the Atrix HD.

Go for a Note II, you wont see much improvement if you choose the Atrix HD. Besides it doesn't have a lot of development yet, and the battery life is not that great.
At least If I had the Note, I wouldn't pick the Atrix HD
You can EASILY put into Atrix HD 3300mAh Droid Razr MAXX's battery (EB40) and battery life will be DA BEST!!
With that battery phone is actually 1,5mm thicker!

Dude, we've been unlocked for 4 days now....you gotta be more patient for the development to pick up.
Battery life isn't that bad when the rom has been debloated -- I get around 24+ hours per charge on a slim Mex Retail; plus there's the MAXX battery mod...
The camera is good enough to take decent pictures in decent lighting, especially if HDR can be effectively used. Personally, I don't judge a phone by the camera quality since a phone's camera will never compete with an actual camera (at least not for a few more years).
If you can get an AHD on the cheap then its a good phone.
I was going to up some pictures I've taken, but I accidentally wiped them in a factory reset...they were private on instant upload, but they're gone from there too. I had two that were the same, only difference was HDR on and off (bobtail kitty on a Harley seat sleeping)

Battery life isn't that bad when the rom has been debloated -- I get around 24+ hours per charge on a slim Mex Retail; plus there's the MAXX battery mod...

The camera is decent in good lighting, but in anything less the pictures are crap.

I agree, but that's been my experience with ANY cell camera. Some are better than others, but if someone is really into taking pictures all the time they're better off just getting a dedicated camera.
The AHD is a really good phone and the unlocked bootloader makes it that much better. This is a Motorola phone with an unlocked bootloader so we get the best of both worlds -- unlocked bootloader and superior Motorola build quality. We buy Moto phones because we can throw them full strength at a tree and it'll bounce off and won't break, not because they take good pictures.
The worst I've ever done to a Moto Android Phone was wear out the volume buttons with CWM (Bravo) and drop it 8+ times onto concrete before the screen cracked (again, Bravo). I had an Old School Moto RAZR flip that I ran over, threw at a tree, literally ripped the top half off (no screen at all) and it worked for 3 months untill I upgraded the contract and got an iPhone3Gs (ugh) and traded that for my first Android phone -- Motorola Bravo.
The worst thing about Moto phones now is that Dan isn't gonna make root exploits for us so I either gotta start buying the Dev Editions or switch to another brand, probably Sony.
thanks for your time guys !
i will think about it and decide accordingly !
thanks..

Atrix HD has a gorgeous screen and build quality. My sisters are using Note and Note 2. Software is good but the build quality sucks. It's all covered with plastics. Doesn't seem to be a high end smartphones.
If you don't mind with prices and build quality,go for Note 2. Note 2 is almost half price of Atrix HD. I would consider buying a notebook over a phone with the same high price.
Camera quality of AHD is almost same as Note in a good light condition. But in a low light it's worse. Sound via speaker is better than Note. But,I haven't compared both in headset quality.

I had a nexus 4 16gb. Got it on the 2nd round in Nov 2012. Got it RMA replaced Dec 2012. No otg, no external storage. It has interesting features, you have to buy miracast device, compatible qi wireless charging and NFC is iffy. Worked fine, but IMHO a boring bland device. I tend to do more with the AHD as is..
I personally only root for adaway and a few root apps.
N4's camera isn't any better, but it's battery life is. Its also less bloated.
I also get much better signal with the AHD. That said its my backup phone until the xphone drops.

I agree. I currently have an Atrix 2, which doesn't even have an unlocked bootloader. And even for that phone, the XDA forums are fairly active, with new JellyBean-based ROM builds coming out several times a month. For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050705
I would expect that the Atrix HD, being a newer phone with an unlocked bootloader, will see at least as much development as the Atrix 2.
I think it's a pretty strong phone for it price, the phone has any defects?
What I mostly want from the phone is a strong battery that will last a day at least, to be smooth and everything else is just a bonus currently using mytouch 4g and it's fine but kinda slow with a real bad speaker :\
I'm not playing any heavy games if I'm playing games at all. mostly care about browsing and general usage.
or there's anything else in it's price? (280$)
Thanks in advance
The battery is decent but if you stick the razr MAXX battery in it it becomes awesome. And if you unlock and run aokp or cyanogenmod it's very quick and responsive. The speaker is pretty good. I like the **** out of it. Its my favorite out of all my phones.

The stock battery is awful. Modding to have the 3300 adds another 50 bucks so I would say no, go and look other phone, this is not what you want.

First off, it's a Motorola so sub-par battery life is somewhat expected.
However, one can easily get away with a good 12~15 hours. (Possibly more depending on how and what you use the phone for.)
If you're willing enough, you could go for the MAXX Battery mod and get an ungodly amount of battery life...
What else was there... Oh yeah, GPS is a little screwy on any 4.2 roms, so be prepared if you're going to flash one.
Other than that, there are a ton of tools around the forums to help you get the phone how you like it...

Couldn't find any other phone that seems as strong as this one. Only xperia arco hd but it doesn't have support in this forum so I'll rather get this one.
Except for the battery there's something else that made you not recommend it?
And if 4.2 roms have problems with the gps, there's any good 4.1 roms without bugs?
In my mytouch 4g I have heating issue when plugging in headphones and the phons restart itself dveru once in a while, the screen is fflipped sometimes sometimes.
I would like to know if there's any rom issues with this phone before I buy it.
Thank you all for your help.
The 4.1 roms run fine including gps. And for 4.2 there's a work around for the gps that works on about 65% of people's phones. Regardless this is a great phone and its a shame att and motorola sent it to fail while Verizon gets all the flagships.

Lucky us for having this forum
So for 4.2 it's either working gps or not working at all? Or is it working for everyone but hardly working?
There's a process to follow before flashing a 4.2 rom to keep gps working if not then it won't work. Navigation wise it won't locate except for through wifi.

Ok so I have the s3 mibi and s2 plus in my country, if I'll buy the atrix hd there's a chabcge of tax pricing wich will cost me 1.33x325 dollars.
The s3 s2 plus and atrix hd are all in the same price (for atrix hd without tax).
Atrix hd is not available in my country, which one should I choose?
Well if it's not available. Why even look at it? Lol.

I wanted to order from ebay, I just saw that the seller won't mark it as a gift and write a low price so there will be no tax.
So galaxy s3 mini or s2 plus? what's better?
Haven't heard of either.

Disadvantages: 1. No matter which custom ROM you install right now
They all have glitches and none work right with vehicle mode( Navigation Dock attached, GPS, intermittent
Freezes/ lags-with stock ROM you can disable bloatware and uninstall with uninstaller).
2. Hardware limitations prevent 42Mbps on Tmobile- throughput maxed at 20Mbps.
3. No gyroscope.
I absolutely love this phone. I've had this phone for a few months and have had little to no issues with it. Now that I've downgraded back to ICS and have lapdock support I'll most likely not change phones any time soon. Best phone choice I've made since the Droid 1

I have it but I don't recommend it. The software is kind of slow but hopefully an update will come out soon. I'm stuck with it but I would go for a Samsung phone.
