You really fail at Android, I think.
Eh, I think it's more like Motorola's quality has gone down. They used to be the leader in cellphone speaker and call quality. From what I have been reading, their last few phones haven't been very good in this area. Don't forget that I also have a Nook Color running Cyanogen. Besides the lack of the hardware keys, I have no issues using it on a daily basis.
New Atrix update today. I got it from the Motorola update site. My call quality is even better than before.
If you're referring to the 4.1.57 update (the only one available at
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Consumer-Support/Mobile-Phones/Motorola+ATRIX_4G ) then it's already been out for a while. I had the same update on my Atrix. No dice with the call quality.
Why would Brizz be butthurt that DarkED got an iphone 4? Because maybe Brizz knows that the Atrix is a better phone, yet DarkED had issues with 2 of them that he got so he went with the phone that he knows and is comfortable using?
Eh, well, to be fair I really liked the Atrix. If Motorola manages to fix the call quality issue I was having before May 8th, I'll be happy to go back and swap this iPhone 4 for another Atrix. But I don't see it happening in that timeframe because Motorola is mostly blowing the problem off by saying it's very isolated.
Why would anyone be "jelly" about a phone that came out almost a year ago and is half powered compared to the Atrix, which so far, Brizz and I have had no issues with at all. However, we both had issues with the iphone.
On the issues with my Atrix ... the particular AT&T store I went to had three employees using the Atrix that experienced no problems with call quality. They all got their Atrixes on launch day. When they heard what mine sounded like they were pretty surprised at how bad it was compared to their Atrixes. Their only guess was that there is a bad batch floating around, and that the Atrixes on the shelves right now in some AT&T stores are from of that run.
On iPhones ... I never said I didn't have issues with my last iPhone, but then again, iPhone 3G's were pretty **** to begin with so it's not surprising. As far as raw power goes, I'd rather have a single-core phone that actually works well as a phone instead of a dual-core pocket monster that doesn't work well as a phone. iPhones and Android devices are pretty comparable in terms of features and what you can do with them, especially considering that they both have a lot of the same apps available. I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised by how smoothly the iPhone 4 operates.
Troll? Maybe if you want to see it like that. Or, you could view it as a statement that may have been helpful to DarkED or others (in case DED wanted to give the Atrix yet another shot, although doubtful) It's an update for a phone, not sure how that could be a troll, but ok.
I would definitely give the Atrix another try if Motorola fixes the issue before my 30-day return period is up. It's a bad-ass device, no question about it.
Uhhh, it really depends on how you define call quality.
I define good call quality as "People on the other end can actually hear what the **** I'm saying."
Looks like call quality improvements to me.
Or it could just be improvements to the database in com.android.providers.telephony. Or an update to the dialer application. The changelog is way too ambiguous to know for sure.
