New Android 4G phones (ATT)

[CexMashean]

Check your sims cards, do they say 3g or LTE?

[Tx Redneck]

Mine is 3g.



There must have been some congestion last night.

The Atrix and Inspire arent as easy as updating the build.prop according the XDA guys. I guess Im stuck with this crap for a while. I knew going in the "4G" was crap but this has really pissed me off. I posted on ATT's facebook yesterday and kept getting generic crap that had nothing to do with HSUPA being disabled. Im going to give it another few weeks and if I dont see any improvment then Im taking it back and looking into the thunderbolt at Verizon. Not dual core but owell. I prefer HTC to Moto anyway.

Oh and the camera is crap!!

Holy crap that pic is terrible, lol. I heard the phones are pretty flimsy, too.

[Tx Redneck]

That's pretty bad when att employees are considering going to the competition.

The phone is solid, I will give it that. I havent ran across anything flimsy on it. I was worried about the back cover because of the way it goes on (clicks on and you have to pry it off instead of the usual slide it to unlock it) but it is solid.

No doubt, my allegiances only go so far. If they marketed it as 3G I wouldnt feel near as bad but web browsing is slower than my wifes phone or even my N1. I used 27 minutes of voice last month but almost 3mb of data so I rarely talk on my phone, its all about web browsing.

The more I'm able to tweak on this aria, the more I like it. It may be a low to mid line phone, but it's freakin slick w/cm7 on it.

[CexMashean]

I'm really enjoying the phone, however, i hate how motorola has encrypted the bootloader. No custom kernels, and no roms that the factory kernel can't run. Also, no customer recovery.

It really kills part of the development for this device. I think i'll stick it out the remained of the 30 days to see how it goes, but the Nexus S is looking really good to me right now. I just don't get any t-mobile service at home.

Saw this yesterday, that's why I was asking.

I have my atrix rooted and the tethered. That's the only way I can use the HD dock on my unlimited plan...

I wonder if that will also work with the lapdock.

[FATHERFORD]

I don't see why it wouldn't.

The only annoying thing about it is a little window at the top left of the screen that says "verifying at&t account status"

[CexMashean]

Well, i signed up for the 4gb tethering to get the $200 off the dock, but i'm not obligated to keep the 4gb tethering and can change it down the road. If rooting and setting up for tethering will get me around that, and the only bothersome thing is that it'll says "verifying status", i'm ok with that.

I didnt watch the whole vid but if its about the back part, yes its flimsy because it has to be. With the way it attaches and comes off it would snap in half if it had no give. Once its snapped on the phone is a pretty solid brick with no give anywhere.

Yep, got mine a few hours ago and it feels as solid as my 16GB 3G and I never had any problems with. I'm sure if you were to pop the plastic off the back of an iphone it would just like the back of the Atrix.

As far as speeds go, I'm seeing ~1.8MB down/.3MB up out here in Abilene on H+.
