Needing users opinions please - Motorola Droid X2

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but i figure ill fire it out there. After going thru multiple warranty replacements and they even swapped my original x for an x2. It will not activate. the manager said he would send me an iphone4 32gig model. He said i will have until Friday to make my decision. I love android and never used ios. They will not ship me anything with a 4.3 inch screen except another x2. Im just tired of the swapping. I told them i may switch to sprint. I just am looking for opinions and i wont flame anyone for their opinion. Thanks all

They should be able to get you activated eventually, that sounds odd to me. I'm very happy with my DX2. I would rather have the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor over any other feature on any device. The qhd display is also amazing, don't let anyone tell you otherwise until you see a Tegra 2 game like PinballHD or RiptideGT in person.
I also have an original Droid X running ota Gingerbread and the performance is great. Once the DX2 is updated to 2.3 and more apps are written to take advantage of dual core this device will deliver some awesome performance. Fir now, gotta love scoring 2800+ on quadrant everytime with stock unrooted DX2
But do what's best for you. The iPhone is sweet and iOS 5 is just around the corner. That will be like xmas morning in iPhoneland, so many new features to unwrap! But I'm sticking with my Droooiiiiddddd

Just a quick tip.. I had problems activating too.
This might help - Make sure you have good service and instead of pressing the activate button on the screen, go to emergency then dial *228. That worked for me.
Im not an Apple fan. Droid all the way

Just left iphone 4 on AT&T, signed up for Verizon, got DROID charge, returned charge a day later and got DROID x2. I am finally at home.
Dual core, qhd display, supreme build quality, reliable network, unlimited data and working netflix... simply can't beat it.

Stick with it, take your x2. Because of the processor and the build, it will last you anonly get much better with gingerbread. Plus the boot loader will probably be unlocked in the future.

Thanks for all the responses. By the way the emergency call *228 worked. Thank you for that. I used to have an iphone and when i activated it was like riding a bike again. But then it hit me that i have to jailbreak and add all these repos and install all this crap and have pretty icons all over the place. I got it 6 hours ago and its going back in the box. Im sticking with the x2. Hopefully it gets updated soon and all will be right with the world. I now despise apple products even more. Its more of a gimick toy for someone to say "i have an iphone" Sorry i doubted you android, even if it was only a couple of hours.

Yeah, ipwn is teh suc. Glad you stuck it out.

Yeah, good move with the x2. The ip4 is stable, intuitive and runs itself more or less... But it's so boring and limiting. The android phones just feel faster. Back when I was a dedicated iPhone guy, I thought the ip4 was blazing fast...until I started on android.

My OG Droid felt faster then the iPhone 4 after Root/ROM/OC. 10 minutes of work and I had a superior phone. (in my book)
Now that I've got the X2, using the iPhone feels like going back to my Palm Pre from the OG. Big leap forward, pentile display be damned.

The X2 display is MUCH nicer than the Atrix's screen. Its like night and day for some reason, even though they are using similar tech.

Agreed. DX2 display is better.

I don't dislike it necessarily, it has just taken some adjustment from the OG Droid.

I just came over from AT&T. Coming from a long line of iphone, I have owned the following devices, some less, some more than a month:
(AT&T)
Iphone 4
Htc inspire
Motorola atrix
Htc inspire
Samsung infuse
(Another) iphone 4
(Got onto verizon)
Samsung DROID charge (2 days)
Motorola DROID x2
And I can say with confidence the x2 is my favorite. Stability and build quality are great. Everything works and will only get better.

I agree, and the thought of Gingerbread is exciting. I only hope Verizon doesn't take too long.

Droid x2

So i recently saw some info online regarding the droid x2. I currently am using a fascinate and regret every day giving up my droid x. LTE would be nice and was considering a bionic, and im not the biggest tech person and was pretty mich satisfied with my dx, what can I say hindsight is 20/20. But my question from what limited info people have seen regarding the dx2 is different from the original dx?

there isnt anything solid about it yet
if you want solid info you have to wait for it to be announced and if you dont want to wait you should get the thunderbolt, imo its a really good phone(plus it has sense which is 100000000000X better than motoblur)
The dx2 is exactly the same as the Droid x except it has a 2gb class two SD card
from what i've heard (possibly just rumors), the droid x2 will have the tegra 2 processor and will be running on the 4g lte. i also heard that its got the new qhd screen. Again, these could be all rumors so don't bite my head off, that's just what i have read.

I am certain that the dx2 is going to be on 3g but I'm not sure about the processor part
Unless virtually all of the suspected info about the Droid X2 is wrong, it's going to be a waste and Samsung/LG/HTC will be leaving it in the dust.
Frankly, it doesn't bother me, as I'm looking forward to going back to HTC at some point. I didn't think the locked bootloader on the DX would bother me much since root is the main issue, but it has; and even if HTC and everyone else locks them from here on out, it's Motorola that started it.
Just picked up the Droid X a few days ago. Man, I'm way behind.
I'll be interested to see what the actual outcome of the DX2 will be. A 3G only version doesn't seem quite right, but then again, I'm a new-comer to the whole smartphone thing.

Buying advice for Droid X2

Hi all,
I currently use an iPhone 3G but am looking to buy a CDMA phone to use on page plus. My options are: DX for ~ $150, DX2 for $200, or maybe even Evo 4G for around $160. I'd appreciate any advice regarding which is the best route to go with. Thanks

D'you think that the Evo's unlocked bootloader trumps the dual core on the DX2? Because the initial overlay in terms of cash isnt that big a deal as its not much different
I'd get the X2, It's pretty fast on a custom rom like eclipse.

Get evo.
Battery life is a valid concern. I'm on Evo forum EVERY DAY, and I see lots of people claim 24+ hrs battery life. I don't get anywhere near that. I suppose it just comes down to tuning. There is tons of dev support in the Evo forums. Still, after more than a year. There's tons of rom and kernels to choose from.
Evo devs are dropping new ports at an amazing rate. Hell, we're running roms that haven't even been publicly released.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

I dont want to get a phone on contract, and dont really have a need for 4G right now. So basically, I'm looking for a phone to hold me out for maybe a year atleast...
the Droid X2's 540x960 resolution, lack of front facing camera and being a solid 3g phone is what sold me on it. bottom line it's a motorola communication device, and they do what they need to do and take a beating. F HTC and their easily hackable bootloaders. the easiest to hack devices are gonna be the first to get taken out by malware and viruses once they start becoming more prevalent (and they will)
my droid X2 is fast as hell, gets great battery life (compared to what I read from others) and I can modify as much as I need to as it can still be rooted and I'm running the ported Atrix 2.3.4 rom w/ some bloat removed. I don't have any of the problems others complain about with this phone (media playback, sound/video issues)
I've literally tried every hack, script, and rom out there along with a few little tweaks of my own and this is the first android device I've EVER had that I've felt was adequate. I've had more than my fair share of HTC junk, and that's exactly how I feel about that taiwanese crap. so far this X2 has been through hell, I gave up on cases and protectors (cause they don't fit quite right and make the docks impossible to use) and it's got some battle scars from work and play (it even got run over by a K5 blazer while I was 4-wheelin in the colorado rockies) and it just won't die... every HTC I ever had I swear started just failing after being dropped once or twice with the exception of my old 8125, it took full immersion in a pan full of hot engine coolant to finally kill it, and it worked for a good 2 weeks after that happened until the keyboard and touchscreen became basically unresponsive. it's only a matter of time until this device is unlockable (seriously, give me ONE example of SOMETHING out there that runs software and could not be hacked/cracked/exploited in some way)
i'll put it in this perspective, launcher icons in a 5 wide 7 high grid. I can fit EVERYTHING I need on ONE homescreen with no overlap, an 800x480 screen will not do that.
my only complaint about the phone is the camera SUCKS in low light, but it's just a crappy CMOS phone camera with a plastic lens, what do you expect? I've NEVER used a camera phone for any really important pictures anyway. I want my phone to first and foremost be a COMMUNICATION DEVICE and when it comes to solid radio technology, you can NEVER go wrong with anything motorola (so long as it doesn't flip or slide)
but then again, I was born with a keyboard in my hand and an insatiable thirst for knowledge of all things electrical/electonic, mechanical and everything in between.
^^^ jealousy is the worst emotion.
More politics in xda then Washington.
I'd double check getting that evo onto page plus. I couldn't get my thunderbolt on there because of the 4g radio.
With regard to the Droid x2, I've got a real love hate relationship with this thing. It's really picky and takes a ron of fine tuning to get it working fluidly, in my experience. But, in my experience it gives the best photos of any phone I've used. They don't look very good on the screen (pentile is horrible with color banding), but they reproduce really well on other media.
My dinc2, which you should also consider, functions much more reliably without all these freaking scripts with dozens of parameters to tweak. But, the video frame rates can't match those of the dx2, and photos are not as good.
Always boils down to what you need. I'm about ready to throw my dx2 under the next bus that passes by if it stutters on me again.

Evo is a Sprint phone. Page plus uses Verizon phones. X2 with tegra doesn't seem to have any advantages besides good video codec support. Nothing amazing optimized for tegra and the single core phones have so much more customization going for them. And all Motorola qhd screens suck. Colors including video look washed out.
Htc's qhd like on sensation use normal rgb lcds vs. The new moto (DROID 3, x2, bionic, photon, ATRIX) using pentile rgbw.
I wouldn't recommend this phone for a few reasons, one of which is tegra has little going for it especially on this phone. Everything is optimized for snapdragon, even if this phone should technically be more powerful.
If u do a lit of music listening from device don't go with x2. Otherwise great phone. Stupid st..ut.ter..s...I..a.mm.g...g ..ettett ...img...tired of music skips ;(

Alot of comparisons of the razr and nexus, but not the razr and rezound?

Good question. I've read many reviews of the Rezound and they are all positive except for size. Some like the extra heft, some loathe it. Seems like a solid phone though, plus it has an unlocked BL now.

If the bootloader wasn't an issue I would stay with the razr for sure. I came from an evo where the development was endless. I think the development for the razr would probably out live the rezound if it wasn't for the dang thing being locked. Ugh...I can't make up my mind.

I like the build quality but hate the hardware.

Why I prefer the Razr over the Rezound:
Display has much less glare
Much easier to see outside
Better touch response
Better contrast and brightness
Hot swap card
Webtop (Atrix lapdock rocks)
Better call quality
Faster performance
That said, if you are a kernel and ROM junky, the Razr will probably leave you cold turkey.

Lol. Thanks for not bashing me for having my own preferences and opinions. There are some hardcore HTC lovers and fan boys out there who sweat by them.
I had a rezound razr and nexus. Ill put in my .02$
Rezound was nice, screen felt tiny even though it was 4.3". 720p LCD is great. Colors are great. Sense is either you love it or hate it. I hated it, and it was a big turn off. It is now unlockable which will just lead to more development. The phone was fat but felt great in the hand, unlike the thinness of the razr. Beats was just a marketing tool, nothing really special about it, should not be a deciding factor. Battery life was decent, not as good as bionic/razr however. Oh and sense made the phone lag from time to time, but like the above guy said, nothing a desensed or CM rom cant fix.

Tbh as much as people whined about battery life on this phone, I refused to get one with a faster processor, bigger screen, AND smaller battery. Just wasn't doing it for me.
Everyone seems to like the Rezound with one exception... they all says its slow for its specs. It packs a 1.5ghz processor but only fares as well as 1ghz phone, or so they say.

This is just my experience of course. But I had two Rezounds before I got my RAZR. I did my research and the Rezound seemed to have the edge. First one's casing around the charging port jiggled. It was unsettling so I got a different one. The second one's call quality was so scrambled you could barely hear the other side. My family got a total of 5 Rezounds, and 3 had horrible call quality.
So finally I got the RAZR instead, and I'm so glad I switched. It never bogs down due to Sense, and call quality and signal are the best I've had on a phone. The screen resolution is a bit lower, but it's not noticeable. Actually it's nice having bigger text. And for build and call quality, speed, and battery life, the RAZR wins hands down in my experience.

Ok I know I'm weird but i have all 3 devices. I've used each for at least 3 days or more and I'll throw in my 3 cents. For me I'll list in order of devices.
1 - The Razr 95%
2 - Rezound 85%
3 - Galazy Nexus - 45% (I think I'm giving that too high a mark really)
I should mention I've rooted all 3 and use them with heavy use with over 3000 contacts, GPS and lots of phone calls to my clients.
Razr - screen beautiful, Navigation gps locks in a nonosecond, volume is excellent, fast and just a pleasure to use and very light to hold. With 2 rooted apps (Battery Calibration and AutoKiller Memory Optimizer I'm getting almost 2 days with all my use!!! On the negative side I think the thin is great but I wish it was not so wide for my smaller hands. Quadrant score consistent over 2700 (I don't know if that means anything really but it is cool to blow everything out of the water)
Rezound - screen is very nice, smaller print etc so harder to read for my old eyes, not quite as brilliant as the Razr. Navigation GPS lock not as quick as the Razr but quick. Volume on par with the Razr and like the Razr all software works excellent. With 2 rooted apps (Battery Calibration and AutoKiller Memory Optimizer) I'm able to get about 18 hours on average so ok) Quadrant score consistent over 2100 - not bad. I Like the resound in my hand as it's not as wide but it weights like a small brick.
Galaxy Nexus - I was so thinking this would be bomb...but after several days of use it is a bomb and not in a good way. Navigation GPS takes forever, Volume is abysmal, I mean from 5 feet away you can hardly hear a ring or music...horrible. I have a motorola bluetooth headphones and with my phone in my pocket I get a silence every 5 seconds, unacceptable to say the least. With 2 rooted apps (Battery Calibration and AutoKiller Memory Optimizer) I was getting about 10 hours of use and for that reason alone it gets an F. Quadrant score about 1200 but again not sure that means much. But really its an F for me for almost all categories except Ice Cream Sandwich which is nice, but Gingerbread works just fine for me with the other 2 phones. Phone is wide like the Razr and the weight is in the middle of the Razr and the Rezound.
This review is just my opinion. The Galaxy I just sold on Ebay and I will not miss it at all. I'm keeping both the Razr and the Rezound and have for now trading off using each. Being able to flash roms on the Rezound is way fun and at the moment I'm on Ineffabilis ROM which has so many cool tweaks and that make me smile.
I hope this helps,
Cheers to you all...

Droid Fighter?

http://androidcommunity.com/motorola-droid-fighter-spotted-looks-awfully-familiar-20120319/
Droid Fighter possibly due out in April? Anyone frustrated with Motorola about making a 720P 4.6" HD Razr Max w/ ICS so soon?
I feel like you never get to enjoy your Moto phone for long. And how can there be dev and community support when the same manufacturer and carrier keep coming out with upgraded versions every ten minutes. I have to admit sometimes I envy Apples once a year roadmap.
I used the razr for a while and follow threads on most high end phones. Full disclosure though, I am now rocking the nexus and I know that the SGS3 will come around soon, but at least I know there won't be another nexus around the corner. It sucks when you "love" a phone just to have it trumped (and if you are like me you buy the new one), and now you love that phone....for a little while anyway.

Ya they all do to some degree. But the X2 was beat by the bionic, that was beat by the razr, all in like 8 months on the same carrier. This year you already have the Maxx, which could be beat by April.

I don't because that is going to be the case unless you're Apple or RIM. We all know RIM is going to go the way of Nokia so that just leaves Apple as a yearly producer. I am happy with my device and those that can afford a new one every six months will be happy too. My maxx in many ways is better than my laptop so I can't really complain.

I'm ok with it. The MAXX's specs are great, the screen is great, battery is awesome. Only thing missing is the unlocked bootloader, no need or want to upgrade to fighter.

I love my Maxx.

I've had a lots of phones in the short year and half with Verizon and I can honestly say the Maxx has really got a spell on me. I love this phone.
It's battery last me over 4 hours on LTE which is something my old Nexus could never do even with the a 3500ma battery. The speaker is loud, and the camera is great especially video.
This is the only non vanilla ui which I actually like. It may not be stock but it's only lightly skinned. I don't even feel a need to root the phone.
I just wanted to put that out there.

It's pretty awesome, even with missing Jelly Bean.
The Rezound I had died and the only replacement they could offer was the Maxx. Much easier phone to use. In my research the specs were better on the Rezound so I went with it, real world use of the two showed me the Maxx was better.
I have not even had the desire to root it like I did my Dinc and Rezound. But I miss TB and Adway.
