    How is the battery life for the Vivid?

    I concur... This was my situation yesterday while out and about. Ridiculous.

    This is an OtterBox?

    I have an Otterbox Commuter on my Vivid -- fits like a glove. Sure, they make it a bit more bulky, but you're buying it to protect the device, right? These things are pretty hard core. My old Atrix had an Otterbox Commuter on it when it fell from the roof of my moving car and bounced down the...

    How is the battery life for the Vivid?

    Honestly...Vivid battery life is hands-down the worst of any device (phone, PDA, laptop, tablet) that I've ever owned. I got my Vivid in early June when my Moto Atrix was lost. Since then, I've become a slave to the car charger, the wall charger, etc., and if I leave home without one or the...

    Soak Test Update Email

    Well???? Updates, please. And who got the e-mails? I still get no updates available. Abandoned hope for ICS a long time ago.

    Looks like I am done with the Atrix

    Sounds like a good move. And those speeds are for real. Now...for comparison's sake...how about some AT&T "4G" speeds from my Speed Test log (these are my "best" speeds): 3.78 Mbps down, 1.60 Mbps up The one ran while typing this: 1.44 Mbps down, 1.42 Mbps up -- and a ping of 119ms. And...

    Looks like I am done with the Atrix

    My first Atrix, back in February, had what sounds like the issue you had with #2. It would jump wildly from screen to screen, apps would open that I never touched, scroll up & down, shut apps down -- it was absolutely possessed. Brought it to a store & showed the rep. All it took was one...

    Atrix vs Atrix 2 which would you pick?

    Hilarious. This forum is sounding like an iPhone forum. Atrix is out since February, and people are jumping to upgrade simply because a new one is coming out 8 months later? Grab yer lawn chairs (and disposable income!) -- we're camping out at the AT&T kiosk in the mall!

    The Atrix is a notorious battery hog, so count me in.

    Battery Issue After Gingerbread Update

    Funny, but since installing the GB upgrade, my previously hideous battery life has actually become pretty good. FAR better than before, when I couldn't go 8 hours without tapping out the battery completely.

    What do you like about GB update

    And I *think* my battery life has improved somewhat. Anything over abysmal is a big improvement.

    What do you like about GB update

    Wow -- what a difference a day makes. Yesterday at this time, I was hitting Moto's Atrix support team for a way to stop the download of GB....having read one too many horror stories on the forum. Well, after completing the download, I followed some advice on here and did a factory reset --...

    Atrix Gingerbread Initial Thoughts and Issues

    The big issue I've come across is the loss of (free) tethering capability. Used the old APN method with GB and it won't connect. Maybe the good folks who figured out the last one will find another way.

    How to Kill GB Update Download???

    Yeah -- but won't a hard (factory settings) reset blow away everything I've downloaded? Do I trust Motoblur to restore all that stuff?
