Available to download from the Apple App Store today, this update allows iPhone users to make and receive Skype-to-Skype calls, and to call mobiles and landlines around the world at very low rates for the first time over their 3G data connection. I use wifi at my house and it has always been a solid connection.Skype today announced the launch of the new version of its iPhone application. Oh and I have not had any issues with the wifi dropping out. Im really shocked that with a stock battery as big as the Atrix and with the CPU running at a very low speed most of the time, that the battery life is not better.Īlso, the browser delay is still there which was a disappointment. One day I will have 55% when I leave work (unplug at 530 AM and leave work around 630 PM), other days it is down in the 20% range and my usage really doesnt vary that much. This phone is a total enigma as far as that goes. I have witnessed no bump in battery life. 83) and that battery life improvement should be experienced. I had read that this release was a combination of two updates (.75 and. I am not in a "4G" area, so I have seen no difference in download speeds although uploads have gotten a bump. So the power management seems to be underclocking the majority of the time. I have Adroid System Info running and it tells me that the processsor is clocking at about 216mhz 78% of the time.

My Atrix does not get any hotter than other phones I have used. I agree that the sound coming out of the earpeace is a bit clearer. Tell me your thoughts in general on the Atrix. Well, thats my review so far for the Atrix. And Im a guy that likes to have a bit of fun with my device. Samsung is not as good as Motorola with there updates, but they dont lock there bootloader. And Supposidly its supposed to have hsupa uncapped on it. Im gonna be looking into the Samsung Infuse 4G when that comes out. I was a sucker for the Captivates Super Amoled when I owned it. Again, Im starting to belive that having that processor in a small cell phone is not quite a good idea for right now.Īll in all, Im ok with everything for the time being. Other phones Ive owned have never got hot so quick and made it become a hassle for me to the hold the phone the way I want to. Im sure they cant stop this from happening. I can understand if a phone gets hot after awhile of constantly using it but it shouldnt get Hot so quick like it does. Its blazing quick on a cell phone, but Ive noticed the bottem area of the phone getting hotter quicker now and that really bothers me. A tablet yes, as it works fine without "heat" at an extended use, on my Xoom. Im not sure if the Tegra 2 Processor is right for a phone. That wont be much of a hassle though as for the time being I have been doing speed test and what not.

If I would have stayed on the 200mb plan, I wouldve been over charged as many times my wifi has kicked out and had to use the network for pushing information. The problem with that is, luckily I upgraded to the 2GB DataPro plan. It was like that before and hasnt been fixed for me. The wifi still kicks out at certain times and leaves the phone paused for a little bit until the network connection kicks in to resume whatever process I was going through. The issue with Wifi being on, they said that there were going to be connection issues fixed with wifi and the network. As I am near wifi all the time and mainly use my wifi. In all honesty, is that really a big difference to me? Not much so. So if you dont have backhaul in your area, you wont notice much of an increase. AT&T Wireless Network News for information on where its being deployed at up to date. And only so many areas at this time have that completion. But you wont see fast speeds unless the backhaul is completed in your area. Now people need to keep in mind that yes, the HSPA+ network is up everwhere with AT&Ts coverage. The down part hasnt really changed but the Up part has which has increased about 3-4 times the amount it was before. Where Im at, the best Ive gotten was 3.4mb down/1.25mb up. Now HSUPA has been unlocked and there sure is a noticible difference with it. I dont use skype or yahoo email so I cant comment on that. It wasnt really bad before but it seems to be more clearer now with incomming and outgoing calls. For me, I have noticed that the call quality does seem to have gotten better. There have been 2 updates already for this phone since it was released and I can see that AT&T is finally living up to there words these days. Im actually pretty happy that AT&T and Motorola are on the ball with updates.
