Just wondering what phones X2 owners were looking at for when their upgrade rolls around. I was thinking about the nexus or the S2. Not sure yet. I'm eligible for an early upgrade and I have no idea what phone I should get. I like rooting my device and playing around with it, so probably something that doesn't have a locked bootloader. I like the X2 because it's completely touchscreen, I hate the slideout keyboards. Then again I might wait to see what comes out in the next 3 months I have left on my contract. What are your thoughts? What do you guys want next?

I have a year on my contract, so hopefully whatever will be out at the time will be beastly
I might look at getting an HTC, maybe a samsung.
Samsung Galaxy SIII. It'll be well worth the wait. As long as you can wait till July/August...
I will be getting the latest Google/Galaxy phone when June 2013 rolls around. *cries*
Hopefully Verizon has the Galaxy 3 or as Samsung puts it"The next Galaxy"

^ Agree with these guys. If you upgrade now, I would go with either the HTC Rezound or Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I just traded my iPhone (wasn't using it) for a Nexus, then gave the Nexus to my friend. I must admit... it is gorgeous. But if you decide to wait, I think the Galaxy SIII or the HTC One X would be aaaaahhhhmazing.
S3 looks like it may not be all that hot. Some say its a little upgrade, who knows. I can upgrade whenever thanks to my BBB complaint. Ill wait to see how that phone comes out then ill upgrade to Rezound or that. Nexus looks great but battery is terrible even the extended is crap. I'll take a 13nm phone with a 2750 battery over one that doesnt do much.
Verizon was dumb for not grabbing the note... Journal is a horrible name but I would have loved to switch for one, played with one for about half an hour... Its amazing even on stock and this screen is now way way to small, the note comes close to being the right size for my hand its barely to small bit if it comes to verizon its gonna be to late, A 5.6in screen with a trident style case is now my hope for the future. Im wanting a quad core with 2gb ram a massive battery and a big screen i dont care if it's heavy and fat... I want power to go

I would have to take a real hard look at the note if we got it. If not I may leave Verizon to get one.
I got a Dinc2 as a replacement for the X2 3 weeks ago. I will not go back to a locked phone again, I love this thing and I love HTC's build quality. If I stick with Verizon I'll be looking at a rezound this fall, should be cheap to upgrade to by then.
From my Inc2 running Inc2 HD
Not sure what i'll get but I'm hoping there will be more architecture similar to the 3 in 1 Asus Padphone.
Yea I'm waiting for May 3rd to see GS3 and then go from their. To me its ALL about the battery, here's to something that's over 2200 or whatever they think it is. A non removable phone that has THST LOW of a battery is laughable for those specs. I don't think many would deny that.

What is the likelihood of we getting a S3 this summer? I was (and still am a little) skeptical of the Big Red getting the SIII... But the rumor mill is cranking out stories like the SIII is slated for release on Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T... So may be I don't hafta kill a kitty this summer... Verizon, you may have just saved the lives of 1.1 Kitties... And you may have not effed me in the ass! Seriously, Big R's mobile lineup is an orgy of fugly looking Motorola phones and oh no-good-excuse-of-a-smartphones from Sammy (except the Gnex) and I believe just 1 good'ne from HTC... So basically 2 phones worth buying... Appalling stuff, Red.. Same story with AT&T... We are being bombarded by mediocre phones, man!
Lol yea I accidentally misstyped that on this crappy phone. My BBB complaint, is over and they're letting me upgrade anytime so deff. waiting to at least May 3rd. Also theirs a rumor VZW will be getting it first before anyone in the U.S so we shall see. Then we have the Razr HD... ok. Yea maybe... prolly not.

Yep, it's getting to the point that I don't care how good they're damn network is if the phones are so overloaded with crap and bugs that they won't run right the network is useless.
I got a pair of Dinc2's as a replacement for mine and my wife's X2's. She wanted to run stock for awhile. She doesn't use many apps, mostly FB, words with friends, couple of games. But she's on the phone constantly. Well the one thing that should work is the damn phone, and while it does its just not laid out well. However she is constantly getting force closes, has to manually sync her email, stuff like that.
I'm done with big red when this contract is up I think. The network is great and they're customer service has been great, but every phone has been ****. I shouldn't have to hack a phone and load a custom Rom just to make it operate correctly and reliably, it should do that out of the box. Only reason I should have to hack it is because I want to play with it, customize it to my liking. NOT TO MAKE IT JUST WORK THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO.
Verizon can kiss my ass.

Hi everyone,
I was the very first at the Verizon store to pick up this bad boy!! I'm concerned though and actually thinking of returning it and waiting on the G-Nex but I love it!! Oh my problem is it gets hot I mean glass and the back are actually hot after a bit of continual use and I'm no gamer or have not watched or download anything to caused such a reaction: 0(
Also the bottom buttons lose light as it is actually gone out as I type. Not minding that much bcuz it actually looks sweet just black but I'm concerned I may have a bad seed. My question would be is the heat something to expect due to the thinnest or should I just swap it out as defective?
Thanks!
Was it plugged it? Every phone I have had gets hot when it stays plugged in.
But really I have yet to have mine get hot. Thunderbolt got warmer even. Also mine is in the defender case so if it gets hot it will get really hot...

I was at a football game yesterday and it got a little toasty there, but every phone I've ever had does it in highly populated areas.
I exchanged it...
Called Verizon and they said to bring it back for a new one. She was so cute, she messed up and said let me swap out the battery then she said oops none to swap out. They still aren't use to that phone.
No it wasn't on the charge plus battery was like gone by the time I left house and entered the store so it was just plain bad. If the heat is a problem with these phone I will diff trade it in for G-Nex if not I have found my new phone )
Thanks for the help!

Yes you have 14 days, and if the Gnex is in stores on the 21st, you can exchange it -$35 restocking fee of course. If it's not in stores you can return it and they probably can direct fulfill it for you. If its web orders only then I'd suggest returning it a few days ahead of time, then your upgrade date will be reset in time.
Edit: You haven't swapped out another device for the RAZR correct? Cause you're only allowed one swap to a different model (ie say bionic to razr, bionic to rezound etc).

No problem man. The RAZR will get ICS as well next year I believe. I can understand wanting it out of the box for sure! Benches are pretty similar from what I've seen so far, and I'm pretty sure every day usage is pretty similar. I just enjoy the physical build of this phone so much that I don't mind waiting for a software update. With 2nd init we should have some have some AOSP loving hopefully! But again even on stock, this phone delivers an enjoyable experience.
The buttons light up ehen it is dark. There is a light sensor at the top left. Cover it and you'll see the buttons light up.

Cool as a cucumber now!!
Just wanted to report received new phone and its cool as cool can be...no heat now at all. So the phone is thin and can handle itself just fine!!
VERY HAPPPPY!!
Well it continues (
Tomorrow I will take back my Razr because it is simple HOT!!! 3g cool, 4g wicked hot, my 2 finger tips still hurt!!! I'm very mad just the thought of them knowingly selling this phone with this defect!! I'm also mad because I actually fell for this phone, I fell hard but now I'll go back to my Fascinate and wait :O(
Too bad because its a smooth fast lil phone the problem seems to be its thinness.
I'm sad!
and bought another Motorola phone. I really didn't want to but I had purchased a HTC Rezound and while it was a really nice phone, it wasn't a Moto. I really wanted to keep it but the bottom line is, when I got home with it, I couldn't receive any calls. Well, not really ANY calls but in the couple days I had it I probably got 1 out of every 4 calls. I realized this when a friend called me on my land line and asked why I didn't answer my cell. He said he'd called me 4 times and, even though my phone was always close at that time, and it was on, it never rang once. I started experimenting by calling it using my land line phone and the result wasn't pretty. Like I said, about 1 out of every 4 calls. I think I missed more phone calls in the 2 days I had that phone than in the entire time I owned my DX and DX2 (yeah, it rings a lot ).
Anyway, when I purchased the Rezound, the guy at the store tried to talk me out of it. He said he had sold 3 of them to people who live in the town I live in and they all came back because they didn't work very well where I'm at. He tried to talk me into a Razr or Razr Maxx. Said they had the best radios of the bunch. I wasn't going to let him talk me into that though so I took the Rezound. Well, bottom line is I've had all Motos up until now and never had one bit of trouble at home. The cell tower is a mile out of town so that shouldn't be a problem. I looked at the signal on my X2 and the signal on the Rezound and the Rezound's signal was always 15-20 dbm higher than my X2. I thought about returning it for a Nexus but I've read to much negative stuff about the radios in them. So, I decided I wasn't going to fight it. Once again, bottom line is that it is a phone, first and foremost and if it doesn't do that, well, it's worthless to me.
So, I just decided to live with the locked bootloader and ordered a Razr Maxx. There's a few roms available for it and some good devs working on it. Nitro, Hashcode, kholk and more. kholk is working on kexec for it and I see he posted today that he's had it up and running on another kernel using kexec so it probably isn't far away. Just that it isn't using both cpu cores at the moment and he wanted to get that working. Anyway, like I said, I did what I said I'd never do again and bought another Moto. The Rezound was nice but I hate to say it, but, it wasn't a Moto. Didn't feel as solid, let alone it not working like any of the Motos I've owned. I found the old saying isn't always true. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Well I've been looking at phones too and the razr and maxx are really nice. They look and feel high quality. Isnt it sad that we can't have the best of both worlds and have the nice hardware with Motorola and have an unlocked bootloader as well? The radio, battery, and speaker volume on the nexus scares me. I have a promo upgrade I've been itching to pull the trigger on. I too looked at the rezound, but never bought one. HTC sense has way too much going on. And I'm embarrassed to say I'm back to stock in my phone and actually like the simplicity of blur, just not the speed.

Welcome back. "Moto sucks but it's still the best phone"
I've run across a couple of folks with the Razr and would agree it is a well built phone that feels very nice in the hand. I'm about 6 months out from my next upgrade but if I had to do it now the raxr would likely be my choice. And it sounds like its getting some dev love so I think you made a good choice.

I get what you're saying, but if he can't make phone calls, what should he do? Doubt a new device justifies how good the games look on it.
It is a pickle, I hope I don't have this issue. I'd be crabby.

Ok, I have a buddy that works at Verizon and they have an offer to upgrade your phone to 4G even if you still have time on your old phone contract. I take it they're trying to get people to move up to 4G.
Whatever the case, my wife's Dinc2 bricked on her and needs a replacement, Should fork over the the 199 for a Maxx? She basically wants the battery time (don't we all?) Im not a fan of Motorola phones, but the Maxx does have the best battery life out there.
What do you guys think??
I have a moto atrix and looove it. Its been great to me.
But the reason. I would NEVER get a razor is because it has a built in battery. You cant pull it if something freezes or if you get a bootloop. Too scary for me.
I also work at a rogers store and we've seen about 7 or 8 of these come back with hairline cracks in the screen, from either a really small.fall, or literally NOTHING at all.
Personally I'd steer clear, and I'm a moto fan!!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Moto designed the phone knowing that it might freeze. Holding volume down and power resets it. You can swap the battery really easy. Not like on iPhone. I can admit that even though it has gorilla glass cracks can happen and often on this phone. But the razr maxx is one of the best Android phones out there. I would strongly suggest maxx.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA Premium App
I went from the Incredible 2 to a Maxx. I don't regret it Its super durable, battery is just amazing. In the unlikely event it freezes, holding the power and volume up (or down I can't remember) will restart it. It worked for me.
tl;dr : Get the Maxx you won't regret it
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
I love my maxx...I used to have the original Razr and probably would be using it still if I didn't get a chance to pick up this maxx for cheap. Battery life is top notch on it, especially if she doesn't use it much she will love it. By far this is the most stable android phone I've ever used. Haven't had a problem with slows downs or freeze ups and I'm still rolling the stock GB OS, once ICS comes out officially it will be even better.
I say go for it, my wife wasn't at all interested in the Razr til I got her one and now she loves it. Sound quality on it is great...
motorola voice quality on some of their models (the RAZR & Defy are two of them) blows everything else away. if you care about voice quality, RAZR is the one to get. Atrix and iPhone 4 are almost, but not quite as good for voice. LG makes one decent phone for voice but i can't remember the model no. right now. Samsung phones are HORRIBLE for voice, stay far away if you like to use phones as phones.
I left the gnex for the maxx, no regrets here. Great phone. ICS real soon. Don't worry about the non removable battery, its not an issue. Hard resets (simulated battery pull) can be done as stated above.
via Razr MAXX
Love my maxx. Don't fall for the hype of it not being good or just about the battery. Go to your local store and just play w one. I am running an ics leak on mine and if its any inclination of how official will be then the RAZR maxx w ics is going to be one of the top phones. Battery life is obviously the selling point...but there are so many more great points about this phone. I have never had a freeze or a restart on gbread on 2 different ics leaks.
Ya I've never had a freeze on the stock OS, plus my wife has never complained about any problems

Hmm, thats an interesting video but let me tell you something that if you drop your phone into the water, be it any phone, a normal person cannot do it in a techy way like shown in the video and i m sure your wife would not like it, taking apart the parts of any phone to avoid damage due to water. the changes of dropping the phone into the water are minimal unless we dont care. If you really want her to be happy with any phone in the market then it is only MAXX. I have been using razr and i m in love with it to the core. Its slick, very powerful, the best beautiful design phone in the market ever made after original razr and THE DEADLY BATTERY LIFE. That video is actually for those who wants to play with their phone. And with ICS on this, it would be icing the cake. She well love it, buy it. You will not regret it.

The points in this video are only relevant if you are a guy who takes your phone apart to repair. For 99% of smartphone users, the points made in this video are irrelevant. If you have an extended warrantee; phones are not repaired. They are replaced.

I had it get real hot and glitch up once when I was using google NAV screen on for over an hour, had to turn the screen off let it cool and then power cycle it, but then again that was 3 weeks after I got my phone and my phone hadn't been shut off since I got it, now I make it a rule to "power cycle" my phone every other charge and I haven't had a problem since.
At this point, I would wait. The next two months should see some interesting options.
Maxx is tops though for now, if can not. If waiting for the assumed Razr HD, that will probably be end of summer.

Well i am wondering if i should wait or go ahead and get this maxx? Hearing they are going to try to get us ones that are grandfathered in to the unlimited plans to get us out with the upgrade at discounted prices makes me want to go ahead now so i can get locked in. I just hate that their is not many dev support for the maxx due to the locked boot loader. I like the dev support for the Nexus but don't want to take the gamble with the reception issues and data loss issues.
Get the RAZR Maxx no question about it.
I think the dev support will get better once we get ICS officially and dig into bit and get somewhere

No, the points in this video are for anyone interested in build quality and design. This phone was DESIGNED to be unrepairable. It was meant to be tossed and replaced, yet its one of the most expensive phones going. And MOST people (or at least I thought) here on xda were interested in modifying their phones, whether its, rooting, custom firmware etc... and the guy in the video is an elite xda member who knows these phones inside and out, programming, hardware, tthe works. Plus I work at a rogers store, have only been there since January, and have had 7 of them come back with cracked screens. And we've probably only sold about 15. Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUUUGE motor fan. But the lockind down of boot loaders, and phones like the razor, I'm slowly, and sadly, losing faith.

Razr Maxx is a fine device, if wanting to avoid soon paying full price to keep unlimited..... for now....
Not by my own choice...
I had posted some time ago about thsi Proximity Sensor issue, where I had to have the speaker of the phone basically behind my ear for the screen to stay off. Well I spoke to Verizon and they admitted that it sounds like a hardware issue and I could get a free replacement.
BUT... they wanted to offer me a LG Revolution (whut?), Thunderbolt (Even the tech laughed at this choice) or Charge (whut x 2)... and maybe a Razr standard.
I begged them to give me at least the Razr Maxx and the tech asked her supervisor 3 times, getting denied each time... finally I laid it into her and said I want to speak to a supervisor because I:
1. am a customer of 8 years,
2. have 4 lines,
3. am being treated unfairly by given the opportunity to only replace my defective item with an item of lesser quality, and
4. believe they should stand by their assurance of certified devices by ensuring they actually work as advertised.
She came back and her supervisor didn't even want to talk to me, but just to get rid of me, their giving me a 16gb Maxx... I hate leaving the Rezound but there are none left. *sigh*

That's funny cause the charge guys that are having problems are getting offered the nexus. I got my Rezound as a replacement for my charge. I wouldn't go back. I'd call tier2 back a talk your easy into something else. Just my 2 cents.

Damn, this sucks. I hope mine lasts now cause I still love this phone. I would NOT accept a stupid RAZR as a replacement. Its sad that Verizon would even try that..

I am one of those guys who needs his phone to be a phone more than a portable computer/gaming thingie... but I also need it to last a whole day. Which is why i would not give into the standard Razr. I also have an upgrade in September... if I really hate it we'll see what comes up in Q4 from VW.
Give them time to replenish their stock, probably wiped out from the ICS upgrade...
I got my Rezound as a replacement for the Droid Charge. Just call back and get another person. They have call centers all over the country and each have different supplies. The next person you talk to will probably have a Rezound.

I got a free replacement from the rez to nexus a month ago and I really don't know why you guys are so reluctant to switch to anything else. To be honest the only thing I miss from the rez is the camera and the fantastic radios, other than that the nexus is a lot nicer imo, especially with a 2150mah extended battery.
If you're really that hell bent on getting another rez replacement then why not tell the idiot tier 2 reps that you barely get through the day on a 3800mah battery on the rezound and a razr just won't cut it for you, get them to send you a razr maxx and sell it and buy the rezound and make some profit.

Because we like the phone lol.
Radios and camera plus no tinting or whatever just seems like a better thing imo.

Tint can be fixed with screen tweaks, and there are other features on the nexus or other verizon devices that make it surpass the rezound in many ways.
I hate that stupid sensor. Took 4 phones to get one that actually worked right. The reps kept telling me that ics changed this feature and it doesn't work anymore. :banghead:

I recall reading somewhere that the sensor can come unglued and thereby block proper signal reception. Whatever the case, overall the Rezound has been my favorite phone. I've had the Eris, the Incredible, the Incredible 2, the Galaxy Nexus, and the Rezound.
Like I said, I have an upgrade this September. I am sure, whether it's this Q4, or the first in 2013, there will be other phones released.

Rezound has probably the BEST camera on VZW right now. GNEX camera sucks, as do the radios.
When my wife's Tbolt went bad a few weeks ago, we got to choose the warranty replacement phone and we went for the Rezound. I don't have to tweak anything to get the display to look good and the camera is amazing.

No, the galaxy s3 has the best camera on verizon right now and what's wrong with taping 2 things on the official build 1 release of AOKP to make the screen have the deepest blacks and true whites making it a better looking screen than the rezound? And have you tried jellybean on the nexus or the s3? Once you go butter, you never go back.
Vzw has the worst customer service in the world.

On the whole I agree... but this tech was on the phoen maybe 25 minutes and kept pushing for the like-priced replacement, so kudos to her. Her name was Alex.

Jk.
It all matters which rep you get. Some are great, some just need to go die in a hole.

It is what it is. Obviously some people like the Rezound more, hence some switching back. I'm glad you made the right decision for you though.

On a side note - I called VW to confirm it's been delivered - the guy who answered said:
Tech: Can I get your phone number?
Me; ***-***-****
Tech: YOU THE MAAAAAN!!!"
WTF
I love my rezound, but after going through the Droid Inc, Thunderbolt and now the Rezound, with crazy problems on all of them, im pretty much done with HTC. I also got tired of Sense after having it for so long. Also, 5.5" screen cannot be denied. Note 2 was announced this morning for mid november on all carriers, so im getting a white 16 note 2 at launch.
sweet. i'm gonna hold out and get that new big HTC that may be announced today
Ima wait for the dlx

Yeah I'm considering the note 2, esp since htc announced a windows phone instead of something nice for android

5.5" is way too freaking big for a phone that I carry around all the time. If I need that much screen real estate, I'll get get out the 7" tab. 4.3" is just right.
Plus Samsung radios = fail, and VZW Note 2 bootloader = locked.
Personally I think it would be nice to have but would not want something that big in my pocket. It would look strange on my belt...

Its hardly too big, its just a tiny bit bigger then the rezound, the bezel is very tiny on it. Also, the radios on the S3 are great, you must be thinking of the Nexus which had very poor radios. And the locked bootloader on the S3 for Verizon took a week to crack, on the rezound, 5-6 months for S-Off and you had to short your phone and possibly brick it.
I think ill take my chances with samsung personally.
Well, first of all, S-OFF is not related to unlocking the bootloader. I could still do everything I want to do on this phone without it being S-OFF...it just makes things a bit easier, and I can unlock the Rezound through an official method, where everything with with the Samsung locked bootloaders is a hacky workaround, all which they've no doubt closed in the Note 2 bootloader (if they're at all smart).
As for the size, I've held an original Note, and it's too freaking big. The Note 2 is even bigger. Samsung has a long history of crappy radios. The Fascinate, the Charge, the Nexus, etc. It's going to take time for me to trust them again on that front.
Also, put me in the minority, but I do not like OLED screens. They don't look subjectively better than the newest LCD's, and they have very questionable durability, particularly for someone like me who uses their phone as a navigation system, in car media player, and a desk clock. I log a lot of screen on time and in less than a year, my Charge had significant pixel fade that would simply not occur on an LCD.
I think I'll eventually get a Note-like phone. I like the larger screen real estate.
I'm picking up the note 2 unless something else blows my mind. I am kind of upset with htc's update speeds on stuff, but they still make super solid phones. I really like the phablet design so put me in that minority.

That made me laugh. Samsung is no better. They're no worse, but they're no better either. The reality is that the real holdup in getting updates to the phone is usually Verizon, and there's nothing any of the manufacturers can do about that. If it's not a flagship phone, VZW isn't going to be breaking a sweat getting an update out for it.
Locked boot loader is it for me. If I can't flash ROMs then it isn't worth it.
its up there for me. either the DIX/DLX or note 2. about the locked bootloader, i kinda like touchwiz DONT KILL ME. but the DIX/DLX with most likely be locked also. itll be like the dinc4g LTE.

No DLX though I'm getting the S3. IDK if the Note2 will have many devs. The only reason the GS3 got it is because everyone and their mother devs for it. They had a 4000$ bounty going. I need AOKP
Same with the DLX. I want the phone with the best specs, battery life, and dev support. Yeah, I'm a dev, but a lot of the time I don't even run my own roms.
I wont buy it because that screen is too damn big. Might as well buy a nexus 7..in which case I did lol

I just compared the width of Note 2 with my Rezound, it would be too wide for my taste.
I think 4.6"~4.8" screen with small bezel would be great for me.
Nope. It's just too damn big.
Was really hoping HTC would announce a reasonable upgrade from the Rezound at the big press event today. Instead we get Windows phones. No thanks.
And by the way..... REALLY, HTC? Windows phones?
I'm leaning towards that new LG phone as my next device..

Although I totally agree Verizon holds up the line on some of this stuff. I still think HTC likes to plays the hold an update to get people to want a new phone especially by doing the sense 3.6 thing. I'm not mad at them its all business I just want a phablet, who knows though if there are no devs I may have to hold out.
