O I also have a Moto 500 lapdock Ill sell too. We should use this as a place for people to get rid of this.
wow! sad to see you guys go.
is it because of the lock bootloader? or other issues? limited development?
im sure if you post in the xda marketplace thread, your phones will sell fast. there are quite a few people wanting a Razr there.
I am also interested in your reasons for selling this great phone.

Thanks for sharing.
I've owned many android phones in the past, and I agree the locked bootloader sucks. But using the GSM version unbound to any carrier makes it less annoying to me. None of that crappy Verizon bloatware or scripts embedded into the ROM.

Odd, I just went the other direction.
I had a Galaxy Nexus for almost a month and gave up.
The battery life was terrible, the GPS was useless, and the camera was mediocre.
I also get a slightly better 4G signal with the Razr than I did with the gnex.
I'm with you
Hey there, ok now this is a great looking phone I wish Motorola had gone a bit further and perfected the software before releasing this phone. This is the third phone I got that is either defective or the OS has some serious issues. I'm with Rogers and trying to get some kind of resolve with these people is like hitting yourself over the head with a brick. My first phone had random reboot issues, the second just totally bricked out on me nothing worked it just died. This third one not sure if it's software but it totally powered down and rebooted in my hand after pushing the sleep/wake button. The third only did this reboot thing once and I hope that is the only time it's going to do it. The only app I have installed is the Wifi transfer, Pulse, Facebook, Skype. I really would hope that none of these apps is the culprit.
I did get somekind of deal going with Rogers but I will have to buy the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE for $149, they waved some fees and also granted me a one time upgrade deal. I really wish Bell wasn't such a greedy SOB that Rogers should of carried the Nexus but Bell wanted exclusive rights to it, reminds me of Apple and AT&T.
You gotta use caution on ditching a device due to software issues. More important to keep the quality device and be patient and let the software catch up. In the end, an unlocked bootloader won't matter I'd the device doesn't stand up. I think the RAZR wins if you look at it this way. If you're in for the short term though the Nexus will give more play time until the next cool device is announced next week at CES.

Well, I just called Rogers and they are now shipping me a New Samsung Galaxy SII LTE. They told me I can keep my Razr, but now I have two phones, the Razr strangly didn't reboot since then not sure maybe it was an app that was causing the reboots. But how do you use two sim cards on the same number and two phones, hmm...maybe I have to get another service or maybe sell the Razr or something. I'm kind of bummed out because Bell wanted exclusive rights to the Nexus here in Canada so they made Rogers pull all their pre orders before the Holidays. So now I'm stuck in a three year contract so I'm at a loss if they come up with some new devices at 2012 CES, but then we'd still have to wait about a year anyways with Rogers.
Well I gave it another shot, and just today my Razr did the standby death sleep. It just turned it self off after hearing a beep and then vibration it turned itself off for some strange reason. There was no smart action for this but something is causing this strange behaviour. That's it I give up, I think I'll be selling this phone or something maybe I'll customize the hell out of it or something since maybe it could be software related. It's a Rogers XT910 GSM by the way.

Great, now hear the news should of done some reading but they didn't want to extend the offer pass 48 hours so I needed to choose a phone and buy it. The nexus is a nice phone, damnit now I have to wait another 2 years or so. Unless I stop buying stuff and drop like $699 for it on the spot.

So after going through 3 Eris handsets and finally finding a CSR who had enough to sympathy on me to send out an Incredible, I've now gone through 2 of the latter. Both have reboot loop issues, the first wouldn't even go past the quietly brilliant screen while the second can go four hours before deciding not to work for an hour. This is the most frustrating thing I've ever been through. I'm gonna try to talk customer service into a new Inc instead of a refurbished one and see if that changes anything. Otherwise I'm just going to keep the third Eris and steal my moms upgrade in June I guess.
Moral of the story, just because something looks better doesn't mean it always is.
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
I went through 3 Eris's and I'm on my second D2, which I haven't had any problems with. The refurbs from Verizon are hit and miss, mostly miss. Good luck getting them to send you a new one. I have a feeling your going to have to put up a good fight for that. Hopefully it works out for you though.
Fortunately I've had nothing but good experiences with customer service. I'll ETF my contract if they refuse to help and I'll go to Sprint.
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
Never had an issue with my original new devices on Verizon, so never had to deal with the refurb. But I'd still take mom's in June and get something hardcore (Like the Merge?)
If the third one coming on Tuesday has the same issue then that's exactly what I'll do.

I was hoping for the Merge as well, but everything that I have seen rumored about it lately says it is going to Alltel. (several sites are posting that the Merge passed FCC yesterday for Alltel) So probably it wont be in your average Verizon store. I was hoping for an HTC device that has something smaller than a the mammoth 4.3 inch screen and the keyboard was something of a bonus to me.
I'll probably be going with an HTC device when I get my upgrade/ get a different carrier. Moto has made me never want to buy another phone from them because of the efuse, and the Evo is awesome....

Why would they not lock down the bionic after the success they had with the x? Sales and security wise. Locking it down didn't hurt either company. A tier 3 Verizon tech told me not to be surprised if it's businessas usual. They know I'm rooted and "hacked" so I don't care. Time to leave Verizon because they want **** locked down as hard as possible.

I just told the tech lady that after having had 3, I was really not looking to get another one and she just gave it to me, no ifs, ands, or buts. They've already offered to send me an X because of the Inc trouble, but I said I'd give the Inc one more shot, so tomorrow is HTC's last chance to redeem themselves in my eyes.
Hit or miss again... my husband tried it with Verizon and the rep told him Quote: "go ahead." there was no help at all, no "You've been such loyal customer for 10+ years... what can we do to help?", no "Sorry to see you go." nothing, just a basic "Ba-bye!" He is now with Sprint and so far very happy.
This one works! Only problem I've found with it so far is an unexplained lagginess while on the charger, but that I can live with. I wouldn't have had a problem leaving Verizon for Sprint over this issue, it would've been completely unacceptable for them to leave me hanging after all the issues I've had with them, and I would've gladly taken my money elsewhere.
Ok so I'm sorry to ask this if it's been asked before. Deal is I have the Htc one x but my grace period is almost up. Really like the phone but I miss my Samsung. Thing is when is it supposed to if it does launch for AT&T. If it'll be not intil the late summer early fall then I'll just keep my one x. If it supposed to launch say in June. Then I'll wait for it and return the one x before the 30 days. I'm back to using my iPhone 4 and can't stand it.
AFAIK ATT is GSM so you can just buy one, pop in a sim and you're good to go.
I may be wrong.

Yes, Samsung international phones have typically been compatible with ATT. And as for the AT&T launch, they definitely said june but who knows.
Define defitely first. Then we will be able to answer your questions
Thanks. Guess I'll return the one x and save my upgrade for the gs3. It's odd though if it would be a June release wouldn't AT&T have announced it yet? Don't they usually announce them a few weeks before for preorders and such?
Yes I spelled definitely wrong.
Ya saw that lol. Tried to fix it but couldn't. Going from a 4.7" screen to the iPhones 3.5" it's hard to get back used to typing
If and when att gets the gs3 it will most likely be different in the hardware cause of LTE. It will be the same as the HTC one x has for att. The new s4 chip set.

They don't always. Lets not assume June either because we don't want to get peoples hopes up. They said summer. And Samsung is having a press release in June to announce the phones in the US. So June-August.

Yeah not really thinking it'll be anytime soon. I wish I never sold my gs2. I really miss that phone . It's ok. I really like the one x but not as much as I did the gs2. So I think it'll be worth the wait for the gs3. I don't have lte in my area yet. Maybe later this summer. Just don't have the coin to shell out for the international version at the moment.

You clearly don't know what the term "crippled" means nor that the S4 is benchmarking as well or better than the two quad core options. I suggest you read up before making statements like that.

It seems HTC changed how app associations were handled for the US version of the HTC One X to avoid patent issues with apple ( http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3...lte-custom-android-build-apple-patent-linkify). This caused some issues like the inability to view YouTube videos in the app when clicking on a video link in a browser web page (only open in the browser - boo). Samsung is caught up in patent disputes with Apple too so I wouldn't be surprised to see additional software differences from the international version...

See now that's starting to make me wonder. I'm curious if I'd be better off just selling the onex like on eBay and just forking over the extra cash to get the international version. I mean I don't have lte in my area yet so I don't need that. It's very tempting. But I'm more worried about warranties when purchasing these. Never bought any international phones before

AT&T will rape the SGS3 like they do every good phone, they can keep their LTE and their stupid yellow pages and everything else they might think I would want. And to make things even worse of course they will get rid of the physical center button.
Would something like say squaretrade work on this? Also I'm assuming (since I'm not in a hurry) the prices may drop come a month from now right?
Sorry just read this article. I know it's all speculation but 2g ram on the AT&T model would be nice

ICS in June? I'll believe it when I see it. I like my Note but it pisses me off when I purchase a cutting edge phone in February, and here we are in June and still no update, while others are receiving their updates.
I give Apple credit there for being better at updates. Much better. No wonder the values of Android devices do not hold up. 3 months old, already outdated, and available for a lot less than what I paid for it.
Ok..I have vented. Again, I like the Note I have, but the thought of going back to Apple is starting to appeal to me again. I pulled out my old iPhone 4 and fired it up, and started the Etrade App I use every day, and on the iPhone it had a voice command feature which is not on the android app. Whats with that anyway? I thought my Note was ahead of my old IP4, and it appears the app developers still cater to Apple.

Yes if Google made one big mistake, it was not learning from Apple's success. Apple owns its phones and demands control over patches and updates. We are being stymied by ATT not by Samsung. Because of the ATT experience on the Android devices we end up waiting forever for an update. My next phone will be a Google phone rather than a branded phone from ATT, so that I can get around this silly delay. Although it will have to compare well with the Note before they can pry this phone away from me.
I wish the phones in the US were more like the European phone as far as distribution goes, the phones there don't tend to have cell provider branding from what I understand and tend to work across more networks. I wouldn't mind paying more phone a phone every couple of years if our service plans were cheaper and the phones were updated more frequently with new software.

Were you able to just walk into a Verizon store and buy it without becoming a Verizon customer? Is it Factory unlocked? The web masses say YES but the Verizon people are probably trained to say No.
I popped in a friend's AT&T SIM and had no issues. It picked up service pretty quick. You should be able to buy the phone outright from Verizon without being a customer. In the past I was just asked for my ID (before I had Verizon).

im in the same boat.; in canada, just returned the samsung s3, didnt like it.

I would love to see the DNA come to Canada, but friend, DON'T GET AN iPhone!!! If build quality is what you're concerned with, i'm sure everyone here will agree with me that Motorola is the way to go, IF you want a device that has amazing build quality that you can feel in the hand. I am a Samsung fanboy, but i've also owned and reviewed (for my youtube channel) many Moto Android devices, and i have to say, they have, hands down, the best build quality of any devices i've held in my hands. Some people may flame me for this, but i think Moto has better build quality than HTC, and i really enjoy HTC devices!
But don't down grade to an iPhone! Coming from Android, you would regret it, i'm positive of that. =)

should i just buy one on ebay from the us?
and does the droid dna have a sim card?

Can't say too much on battery life, only had it for about a week, but it generally seems pretty solid, lasts me a good day of usage (browsing, facebook, twitter, calls, the reg, etc) just make sure you close apps that are unnecessarily running in the background as that'll slow the phone a bit (depending on the app) and drain battery. hope you enjoy your DNA

Hi, I just got the DNA in America to use it in the Netherlands.
In a actual Verizon store i could not but a DNa without a kind of plan.
Even saying I want to buy it without a plan, they say you should pay 599 for the phone and x per month as a subscription.
So not doing that we went to a general electronics store that sells verizon products but was not an Verizon original store.
Here is where i could buy the DNA without a plan for 599.
Hope it helps.
I have a problem with the data connection in the netherlands, but i do not know if this works in Canada.
I have a droid DNA here in Canada, I can confirm that it is in fact sim unlocked out of the box. I won mine, so Im not sure about the hassle at a verizon store. I am trying to get it to connect to LTE. I have read several reports of it working no problem for people here, but can't seem to get it myself. I do get it to connect to hspa without an issue by putting in my apn settings and changing them to default.
Hey guys, cool forums! I joined because I was planning on rooting my Nexus 7 once it gets here, but now I have this problem and I'm wondering if I can get some advice.
I warrantied my first Rezound about a year ago, but I can't remember what it was to be honest For one year I've had some issues, but nothing I needed to warranty it for. I don't do anything on my phone except emails, internet, youtube, and a few apps here or there. A few days ago, my phone froze during mid phone call and wouldn't turn off, so I pulled the battery, put it back in, and it wouldn't turn on or charge. So I warrantied it, and got my replacement Rezound today. Only.... it freezes in like 10-15 seconds when you unlock the phone and try to do anything. No matter what I do, it freezes always when I'm using it, turns off, and turns back on. So I have to warranty this one too, and the next one should get here Friday. On top of that, every single time I went to the verizon store the service desk people gave me an attitude about it.
Only question is, do you think I should keep getting them replaced until I get a good one, sell it on ebay, and upgrade to a new phone? This has honestly been a hassle for me, and I don't want to wait for my phone to break again. So.. what do you guys think? I'm looking at the Galaxy Note 2 and the DNA. If they are leaps and bounds better than the Rezound, it may be worth selling then. I just ordered a Nexus 7, so maybe I'll return if I go with the Note II. I did say before that I only use my phone for a few things, but that is more because of the small size and battery life making it almost incapable of doing so. Lately I've been thinking that getting a tablet will allow me to do more productive things when I'm not on my laptop, but if I get a Note II, maybe I won't need one after all.
Thanks!
If you want to you could try running an ruu assuming that your rezound is still unrooted and locked.

I'm very much a beginner to this kind of stuff, but basically is that installing a new android os over the current one? I thought the freezing has something to do with the hardware. I guess I'll just wait for my replacement to get here first.
Mainly I was just asking if it is worthwhile to hold onto it or sell it and upgrade to a DNA or Note II, assuming they are better phones. I've had nothing but trouble with it so I am biased, I just wanted to get some honest advice. Thanks for your reply
Edit: Also I want to tether my Nexus 7 to my 4G phone (whichever it will be) but I read somewhere that Foxfi has issues with Rezounds. Is this true?

I have had issues with the Rezound, since March of 2012 I have gone though 8 Rezounds. I finally told them enough is enough, so I picked a different unit. I would give Verizon a call and let them know that we can play this game of you keep sending out Rezounds or give you the option of choosing something different. Do not get me wrong, I loved my Rezound dearly, I just could not do this dance anymore with Verizon. I would not waste your renewal because they send you a faulty unit. And if you sell it you are just sending your headache to another person. Get them to do the right thing to make you happy, you are the paying customer.

What phone did you go to? They're just going to let me walk away with a newer Droid if I complain to them?!

Really? The sales people at the Verizon store I go to (it's actually the biggest, actual Verizon store I know of near me) are incredibly unpolite at times, so I doubt I'd get anywhere with them. Can I call someone instead to do this? Hmm now I got to look at phones again Possibly the Droid Razr Maxx HD for the battery life (since I plan on tethering), but the DNA looks good too (but with the Nexus 7, I think that a phone almost the same size is pointless). What do you think? thanks

Best bet is to call, I had a thunderbolt and went through 7 in 8 months. They will let you change to a "like" device what ever that means. When I switched to the Rezound, I had the choice of a this or a gnex, or another Samsung. Went with the Rezound because they included a extended battery for free.

Thanks guys, I was able to get a (certified) Galaxy S3 instead of another Rezound, but this is through their program (and not new) so we'll see! It's coming Monday.
The only thing I'm pissed about was rep on the phone charged me $80 for the GS3 battery, door, and charger (which doesn't come with the phone), but I guess it's the price I have to pay for pretty much upgrading my old phone.
I'd get a different phone. I've had 7 replacement rezounds sent to me and of all those I had only one good one and that was the second one I got back in February. I started getting replacements because this ones front camera sensor is sketchy. I just decided to keep it though because all the replacements were in much worse condition.

Did you lose your unlimited internet too? And what's the # to call?

$80 for a $400-$500 phone on ebay used sounds like a good deal to me bro. Plus you're still covered by the Verizon warranty...

He didn't get the phone as an upgrade. If there is nothing wrong with your Rezound don't bother calling in and abusing the system to try to get another device.
Oh quick question guys, because when I replaced previous Rezounds, I left out the battery, micro sd, and sim in the phone I was sending back. Do I do the same for this exchange? I guess I am.

You paid for the battery/back for the GS3 don't see why you wouldn't be able to keep your Rez door/battery and SD.
