Rzr Max or s3 - Motorola Droid X2

Hey guys up for my upgrade and was thinking about which phone to get I like the battery and familiarity of the Max but the s3 is tempting too. So what's everyones thoughts?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda app-developers app

If it was me I would go S3. However I am a modding nut!! Moto's are such a pain to work with for the dev's and the community in general and the Samsung seems to be so much easier, not to mention the Galaxy is an awesome phone.
On the other side Moto has very durable phones as where all the Samsung phones I have ever seen aren't as durable. Not to mention Moto has always been known for the better Radio for your phone reception.
GL w/your decision making and let us know.

I'd say the SGIII, too. There's so much already done with that phone already and it's brand new. Plus I'm done with Motorola, even though the RAZR is a pretty sweet phone. Messed with a friends that just got ICS on it.

Get the SGS3. Razr is garbage. ICS does not run well on it.

Thanks guys for the info. Is there any other phones besides these two that would be a good option? I need to be able to root

Is it true that the bootloader it's locked on the s3 because I gotta stay with Verizon for work

The link is great and I see that they have root capabilities for the s3 now but still are working on the locked bootloader. Bummer

ICS launch event

Who watched the ICS launch and is even more angry about having a locked bootloader?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I watched the event. Now hoping that the X2 is on the list to get the update.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I am going to say that the X2 wont get it, at least not anytime soon until Moto breaks it down and skins it(so maybe next summer). The fact that there is so much built into the phone to function without buttons means that Moto has to build in and map their functionality. And, since supposedly the Xoom is the first to get it on tablet, you would think it would go to the Razr, then Bionic/Atrix 2/Photon 4g, THEN the lower end devices. Needless to say, I don't think you should get your hopes up.
I watched it though. I was VERY impressed with some of the things I saw! The lock screen portion with the video was really cool! However, I don't think I would want my phone to do that everytime, seems too tedious still. Maybe after the phone has been passive for 20 minutes or something like that.

Yeah, take it with a grain of salt for sure. Worth a read at least.
Here is why it had me thinking. Moto always blames Verizon for the BL. HTC and Sammy phones get unlocked all day. So why would Verizon bias Moto? It gets the gears churning boys...
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I don't believe any Moto phone has their bl unlocked, do they? The lock is all Moto. My gut is telling me if it were up to Google they would have all phones
unlocked and completely open.
Either way, thx for sharing! Good to see you lingering around here yet.

My thoughts are, with the patent wars, Google is trying to cover their ass right now. Until the proposed deal is approved, they are wanting to make sure that nothing slips thru the cracks that could be harmful to their cause in the hands of the opposition. Not to mention, they probably have some new devices in testing along with new hardware components that would be in Google's best interest not to have leaked until they are certified by the FCC. I am going to have to give Google the benefit of the doubt, and say until the deal is approved, they are doing what they can to cover their asses.
As far as VZW being to blame for Moto, I think it has to do with the fact that Moto is an American company, and they can be pressured by big Red. Whereas HTC and Samsung typically have a broader market share outside of the US. Especially with Sammy being a monstrosity of a Korean company in all terms. I lived in Korea for 2 years(Army), LG and Sammy run their world over their! LG is even the biggest ISP! They are leaps and bounds beyond what we have in the US over there though. Thanks to the FCC and FTC! My computer monitors are 2 Innopix 24" OLED 1920x1200 and I bought them there almost 4 years ago for $150/ea! I built my entire computer setup there Feb 2008, I still score a 6.8 on Windows experience index. Cost me less than $1,500 for what would have cost $4,000 easily to buy off of Best Buys shelf... Not to mention Apple, ugh.

The simple fact that they locked the Razr before it is even released, lends me to believe your hopes will be crushed. Sorry man, no reason to lock a phone during the same period you stated you would unlock them.
Now, if 4.0 is still a "Google Experience" as other phones update to it, without their blur's and sense's like honeycomb was for tablets, MAYBE.
Didn't I read ICS requires 1G of RAM?

According to a spokesman, the lockdown was at the request of the carrier -- VZW, in this case. I am so sick of the shenanigans ...
I sent a tweet to moto asking if they have a list of phones that is going to get the ICS update. Maybe they will respond.

I understand the locked bootloaders because VZW probably spends thousands of dollars replacing phones for people who don't know what they are doing, just trying to impress friends. But still, we payed for it, its ours, we should be able to break it if we want
And I think we will get ICS, it just might take longer than expected.

Can you root a stock Samsung phone now without having to deal with that "Rage against the Cage" nonsense? Tried it once on my wife's Facinate and my anti-virus program wouldn't let Rage run, even when I disabled it. (I know there are ROM's with pre-rooted Kernels you can flash. Just flashed rooted GB 2.3.5 kernel to my Galaxy Tab.)

Yep, I know but it's either buy me a phone now or buy my wife one now, so how do you think that's gonna go? Lol
But all that aside, I checked out the razr today & plan on comparing it to the Rezound next week. My bottom line is reception & my x2 has never failed me where my wife's dinc hasn't been too impressive so htc might not be the best for me.

Rage in the cage new? Never had to use it. First root ever was a one click root i found somewhere. Then i used Odin to flash the stock froyo pre-root. I believe i seen a pre-root GB stock over there, too.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I believe "Rage against the Cage" is the exploit scheme that they used on the Samsung one-click boot process. It's been about 6 months since I've tried to root the Facinate, so my memory is sketcy. The upside is that, as you mentioned, there are probably a lot of pre-rooted ROM offerings that can be easily flashed with Heimdall (or Odin, if yer into that).
I agree Sammy makes a good phone. Wife loves her Facinate. Sadly, the Galaxy II never made it to Verizon, but now lots of folks are waiting for the Nexus, which should be out around the end of the month. But I also like the Moto Droid line, now that we've been given some developer attention. The hardware is top notch, and my X2 is running VERY snappy and stable on Moto-Ginger-Funk v7a. I have no reason to want to trade up for a long while yet (unless Google cannot get a handle on their funky Market issue).
Droid Razr looks very sharp (sorry for the pun). I'm a little afraid of the non-removeable battery, though. There are loads of times that I have recoved my X2 from brink of "brickhood" just by pulling the battery and booting into recovery.
I'm not too crazy about the Razr's non-detachable battery. All too often taking the battery out and putting it back in seems to solve a problem, without having that ability on the Razr I'm somewhat concerned.
Odin=Heimdall but for diff operating systems, i believe. When my contract is up, I'm looking into sprint if vzw isn't allowed to launch the SGSII. And no, i have no intentions of turning this thread into a "who it's better sprint or vzw". Carry on w/ upgrade discussion...

I'm pretty sure that the razr has a failsafe two buttons u.press to kill battery connection or something similar
.like a "hard kill" switch.
I am upgrading to the ReZound Monday. There are more reasons not to get the Razr, than there are to get it lol. If you are in an X2 now, you are better off either keeping it and riding out your time, or getting the ReZound/Nexus, at least right now.

What led you to the Rezound? Beats audio or the the display?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Well, the headphones alone carry a very hefty price, so getting them "free" for the same price as the other phones is a good incentive(probably why they aren't advertising the phone). I already have the SkullCandy Titan Earbuds, so I really don't NEED the Beats Audio ones. But, the camera's on it are both better. The screen resolution is on par with the nexus on a DX2 size screen. Removable battery, SD storage, unlockable BL, 1.5GHz processor.. Basically, the only "feature" it doesn't carry is the super slim design, and who gives a **** if the phone is lacking in so many other categories? lol.
My moms Stock Inc2 walked all over my X2 with Eclipse before I even put CM7 on it for her! HTC is doing all the right things, even with Sense. Too many people complain about Samsung, and I lived in Korea for 2 years from 07-09, we are getting their leftovers over here(Thanks FCC/FTC, and assholes running patent wars..Apple).
Yeah Im gonna look into adding a line soon. Not sure if I'm going to resound or nexus yet
Rezound looks sick. As does nexus(ICS!) but I can see resound getting ics eventually.
ha. HTC edge I thought about until I saw it was Tegra. I will wait for reviews on that before even trying it lol. This phone has lowered my expectations for tegra devices lol
Skip skip stutter...it drives me crazy how one day it seems skipping is.fixed but next its stutters again

We did that actually, got the original DX the day they came out. Loved em. I moved from a bb curve and she from a Moto rokr. When the DX gb bugs hit we were offered DX2s and took them since we had the car docks etc. Didn't feel like switching 100 worth of accessories.
AtLemacks right, seems that the Razer with limitations or something without. Hardware is close enough on either one. Why move to another Moto and keep banging your head against the wall like we do daily.

Just talked with verizon...again. Need your help guys.

I've been having issues with network here in Scarborough Maine. At first Verizon was quick to help but after 2-3 months of trying to get them to fix it its like they are trying to ignore me. Also, this is after 2 replacement phones. So today I called back and they said my network ticket had been.....RESOLVED??!! Hmm this is the first I heard of it and obviously not since I'm still having speed issues. So I got transferred to tech support and they offered to give me a different model. She said no iPhone (I laughed and said that's fine I hate apple junk) and no 4G phones (dammit). So she gave me two phones that she "recommends" a Casio commander and an HTC rhyme....WTF!!?? So I kinda giggled and said I don't think those will work for ME. So I guess I'm allowed any current 3G phone on their website, I want suggestions from you guys annnnnd go!

great phone. single core but has a really good dev community. has more ram too, if im not mistaken. also has REALLY stable ics roms like cm9, aokp, miui, a sense 4 rom, paranoid, geeze theres alot of roms!
They gave me a Dinc2 and I love it. Just be aware the newer software on the phones are making it more dificult to downgrade to get s off. Which gives you perm root. When they downgrade with the newer software version sense roms bootloop. People are working on it and it is ongoing. AOSP roms will work fine like CM7 and CM9 or any aosp ICS rom.

Youch. Not sure if the X2 could be considered to be better. At least, not from my experience!
Music on the X2 is awful. It constantly skipped and the 512mb of memory just doesn't cut it. If you're not using it for music, it's not bad, but as an MP3 player, wow. Poor, poor design.
But, if it's doing better than the resound, all the more power to yah! There are plenty of helpful people here with a lot of knowledge.

I don't even see why they made the RAZR HD, it only makes sense to get the Maxx HD in my opinion.
Much as I love the improvements on the new RAZR phones I don't know if the changes are significant enough for me to change phones.
The Galaxy Note 2 looks like a beast, only thing for me is that I don't know how comfortable it will be in my pocket. I've held the first NOTE, although it is huge I can still hold it and use it decent. Just carrying it around seems like a hassle.
I have an AT&T upgrade sitting there and am eyeing the Note 2...but my GSM MAXX + Nexus 7 works fine as-is. Also, the Lumia 920 looks interesting.
Whatever gets my upgrade will be the best possible device out there. We shall see.
Going to look at buying the galaxy note 2, unless rumors start to drop about a nexus device from moto/google.that has as good as specs as gn2.

I am hoping we'll see the next Google phone made by more than one manufacturer. I would definitely look at the Motorola one if the specs were right.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Verizon didn't get the next google phone since big red is totally against development and locking boot loaders. Android is Open Source, it's suppose to be developed on!! Now Verizon needs to approve android updates too? That's bull crap.
I have been in love with the note ever since it was announced.
This Motorola has the best reception and GPS of any phone I have had though so the new RAZR hd maxx is in the running too.
I exercise with my phone so something too big might not work that well.
I don't think a computer would be necessary after the note though.

I have plans of getting the note 2 when it drops. Only problem is I will be paying full price since I don't want to lose my unlimited with Verizon

I know that sucks but it's so worth it for unlimited data on Verizon's 4G LTE, it's fast where I live. After you get the Note 2 just sell your current phone online.

Depending on price and avaibility i would change my razr maxx for a hd maxx
I'm really excited about the MAXX HD, but not sure if it's coming to Malaysia.
Not really a fan of the note, though. Too big for my hands, and head.
Im switching to sgs3 im done with moto Don't matter how good the phone is i will never buy a moto phone again.

If it's because of the locked boot loaders, Verizon is locking down Samsung phone's too. Probably all their Android phones now. For me, Motorola has it's pros and cons. I mainly chose my Maxx for the wireless radio and battery life. But I do miss the Samsung camera on the last phone I had. And Samsung software is smoother too.
im not that rich so ill be getting the Atrix hd

That's not my case i live in puerto rico and we get the international phones so no Verizon excuse for moto and yes i will never buy a moto again because of The bootloader and their lies about unlocking and then screwing everybody with a developers edition.

Go for the galaxy note 2. It looks crazy powerful, and with a huge 3100 mAh battery.

I think the Note 2 might be good for you. Samsung phones are easy to root and flash stuff on in general without the locked boot loader.
I'm going for Note 2 just waiting for the pre-orders to open here to get mine.

Razr HD/ HD Maxx: Yes. I like the new hardware design and big battery is a plus. The main disappointment is the AMOLED screen. Why cant they just use the screen on the Atrix HD??????
Note 2: Nope. Anything made by Samsung is a no go. ANd their fan boys are like nazis trolling around the internet bully everyone whose preferences differ from them.

They're using Super Amoled HD for the RAZR HD & Maxx HD. The same display that's on the GS3. I like it personally. It's a lot better than any qHD or pentile in my opinion.

I will get the Razr HD with its cool kevlar coating. Amoled HD display will just be beautiful, no doubts with that.
