I used to use a Galaxy S and I feel like Razr Maxx is falling behind with multi touch. Sometimes when I type fast, Razr would skip a letter. Also, the vibration is a bit clumsy compared to my previous phone. Other than that I love this phone. Is mine a defective phone ?
The stock keyboard sucks for speed typing. Try a 3rd party one.
Im using thumb keyboard and theres no lag.
As stated the stock keyboard isn't all that great. There are plenty of keyboard apps in the market to choose from. I like Flex T9 myself.

One vote here for Swiftkey.

Yeah noticed that also. Even with 3rd party

The screen sometimes does not register a Swype for me but overall Swype feels the same as on my tablet or previous phone. I do wish the sgs2 had been on big red though. Honestly the razr maxx just feels weird
yeah.. I tried couple keyboards but they are stil lthe same... I'm typing really slow right now..
I noticed this as well when I had a Razr. Even seemed like it scrolled a little funny when I was scrolling through apps or browsing websites.
SwiftKey X is my keyboard of choice. I will admit the keyboard does not work as well on the Razr as it did on my Thunderbolt. But i think its because the Razr has a larger screen res so the keys are smaller than they were on my Tbolt. Not sure.

Do you guys think there will be an update to fix this problem?

I had the razr and the razr maxx... it's the same on both. I use swiftkey

Wow, is this a fun, beautiful phone.
Curious to who I know around here. Any x2/bionic peeps around? Curious to all of your thoughts on this phone and if any of you here are cheesecaking.
I must admit, I think I like this better than the Nex. Additionally, Moto made some very nice improvements to their interface (*blur*) on a lot of different levels.
Anyways, just saying hello to all of you. Let's keep this forum alive.
Cheers.

Hey 'Wolfe. Glad to see you here. I made the jump from the x2 (wife needed a working phone & I needed a new toy) the day this came out. So far, it's been a great experience & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Glad you're on board.

I don't use hotspots so I haven't experienced this, but I do know I don't lose apps after a reboot
So far mobile connection seems far superior, as does performance. Also, huge fan of the screen, although I do get kind of a greenish tint at times where I feel it should be white - market hang screen for example.

It is great mobile. Am coming from nexus s after i broker the glass :'(.. So o designed to take this mobile over samsung s2
I really like it except the the larg body
BUT i noticed the wifi range is weak!! And there is no video calls option
Rather than that every thing is great

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand the trade-off bit...apologies...but when I saw it once, I was looking for a faaaaar brighter screen, considering the fact that its a sAMOLED...but I found it a little dark...but was told in some forum its because of some ambient setting...will make sure to check it next time properly...
But am surely buying it for sure...in a while... Congrats on your phone BTW.

Hope to see you here soon, this really has been an impressive improvement on Motorola's part. As far as the screen goes there's an additional option to allow the os to manage auto brightness to conserve battery. Net effect: it's about 25% dimmer at times than just "normal" auto brightness.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I believe the dimmer look is attributed to the AMOLED screen. What I was saying as far as a "trade-off" is that I'll take a slightly dimmer screen to get a less pentile effect. This screen looks much nicer than the Bionic in my opinion...
I just "upgraded " from the nexus to the razr and I am absolutely loving it. The nexus' radio was awful. This phone is just so much more solid overall.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Got this phone a week back! Totally loving it. My old Xperia X8 was almost driving me nuts! Already rooted and safestrapped!
So how's your RAZR experience?
Is anybody using this keyboard on the Rezound ? I'm curious if it has compatibility issues like Swype. I actually like it better than Swype, so I don't mind giving that up from the RAZR if TouchPal still works.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
just tried and it "works" but doesnt take up the full screen and doesnt seem to bee very accurate
Damn... It's the most accurate thing I've found on the RAZR. It doesn't fill the width? That's pretty weird...
Thanks for the info.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
I don't have any compatibility issues with Swype.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
in case somebody else comes across this, I wanted to mention that the current chinese version of TouchPal (5.1.4) seems to work properly with the Rezound (it has some quirks of its own, but I don't think they're specific to the Rezound). it is mentioned elsewhere on xda.
(tested by installing on a best buy demo model )

I'm using touchpal on Rezound mainly because I couldn't find Swype in the market. It's been working perfectly for me. very accurate for my big fingers. That's with my rezound in the Otterbox defender case.
I have to say that I love this phone, but the browser is almost unusable because it is so laggy. I've noticed that this phone needs hardware acceleration really bad...
The home screen isn't the smoothest either.
Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?
And pinch to zoom in the browser is a joke. Its laggier than a single core phone.

Have you tried restarting your phone, freeing up some RAM, or deleting some apps that may be giving the phone lag?
Sent from my DROID RAZR
yea probably some other app trashed your phone. sometimes the only way to get the performance back is to hard reset the phone. gosh Android is starting to feel a lot like windows...
You might also have to factory reset to fix the problem. Are up to date on your firmware?
Sent from my DROID RAZR
Yeah. Even when I played with the maxx at the store it just isn't smooth. I had a gs2, then an iphone, and now this. I just think I'm so used to the iphone smoothness that I just have to get back to the Android feel of things. And no I'm not an apple fan boy, the only reason i got the iphone was because sprint didnt have 4g in my area and i just wanted to try it. Now that i finally got a good service, i had to go back to the good os.
I've noticed even scrolling in apps, that the phone isn't very smooth for a dual core. I kind of expected more.
Does anyone know if ICS and hardware acceleration will fix this? Or maybe the soak test update coming whenever it comes?
I have no such problems. All my apps open almost instantly, and I don't get any lag when I scroll. I don't know what to tell you guys. Restarting your phones, update your firmware, kill some processes, and say 3 hail Marys.

If you look at page load times the Razr will kill iOS devices every time. The scrolling jitters is due to lack of hardware acceleration in rendering- Honeycomb and newer uses OpenGL to deliver a much better experience. Yet another reason I can't wait for ICS...

I type really fast and I can't find a keyboard that keeps up with me. I've tried swift key, as well as 5 other apps. Its weird because swift key keeps up with me on my dads evo 3d. Is this screen just not as responsive or something?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
I've been using smart keyboard by dexilog since i got my phone. You can try it out if you haven't already. As for the screen, i haven't had any issues typing so far. Besides that you may want to look into the new swiftkey beta thats been out for a while and see if that makes a difference.
Honestly I have noticed the same thing. It seems to hang no matter which keyboard I use. Definitely can't type as quick as I did on my iPhone. Try clearing up RAM. Seems to help out a lot. Background processes can affectively the performance of the aftermarket keyboards.

Dumb question, but your phone came with Swype...have you tried it? Once you make friends with that method, it's insanely fast.
Hi has anyone had a problem with the screen on there RAZR where in a dark black room and you watch a video for example and you get to a black screen there are black spots all over the display and screen leakage on top of where the capacitive buttons are.
I have had two razrs because of this in a week I can't stand it and I just called verizon today and they said that there is nothing wrong with the phone like they don't believe me but I don't think they went into a dark room to really test this issue.
Just want to see if anybody has had this issue and what can be done to possibly show verizon proof that I am not lying about the screen on the phones they have given me.
Thanks

Thanks for the response it is appreciated but for the newbie stuff I am not a newbie to xda and searched what I could but as I am on a phone with no computer available the search function sucks and I didn't find one answer so again thanks for your help this issues annoys me it might not be big to others but for me it is I came from a sensation never had this issue I have also had a evo 4g, a desire, a Samsung intercept no such issue and screen quality is a big deal for me I just needed an answer

I posted the same question thread and it got locked down because it is a known quantity however I find it to be sloppy craftsmanship.
That being said, I accepted it and it does not bother me one bit.

I have noticed it on my Maxx too, but I have only ever seen it while playing one particular game when the screen is really dark. Other than that, you can't see it at all, so it doesn't bother me.

It's a minor issue and imo not worth making a big fuss over. Overall the razr is a very high quality device. Great hardware, and software (although updates can be slow to push) we will be receiving JB.

To me it is unacceptable I got a new phone worth a defect would you buy a laptop with screen issues I wouldn't so this isn't good to me at all.
So I went into Verizon told them about my issue talked to someone on the phone found out I was in my 14 days still and Gabe it back can't have this problem but one good thing came from it I now game a RAZR M and it is beautiful without the screen issue also thanks for everybody helping and enjoy your RAZR it is a good phone but not for me with the screen issue on two different new phones.
By the easy RAZR M is a great step up in my opinion same size screen better quality screen though (even though technically it is the same) and fast.

You will probably have the same.issues with the RAZR M. It's not a defect per say, it's just something that happens with this type of screen, which the RAZR M also uses.

I don't think the M or the HD's will have this issue. They are using different screens.
I really am surprised Motorola released the RAZR with this issue.
