Nice tie going.
Currently Razr...
Will get a Maxx battery if I can find a nice enough deal on one
Thats weird, I was expecting 5-6 times more Razr than Maxx owners
Razr owner here. Surprised to see there're more Maxx owners in the poll
Razr owner here also.
Just root and install a custom rom to get as much or better battery life than a stock Maxx.

Same here I own a Razr. Maybe once we get more people voting the Razr will beat the Maxx by a larger %.
I have a Razr and am quite happy with it... But will convert it to Maxx as soon as the parts are available.
This is more like what I would expect given how much longer the Razr has been out over the Maxx. Oh I should have added one of the new color Razr's as a choice... oh well too late.
Maxx for the win The battery life soars light years ahead of my third battery in my Incredible.
btw-They are backordered right now at Corporate stores, I got the last one from a local retail store. Apparently Motorola hasn't peaked production yet...hmmm, didn't they make a high demand for the X when it came out also?

It's actually both the RAZR and the RAZR MAXX. They run identical software. The only real difference is the bigger battery, slight change in the color of the housing and the Motorola plate on the front top is changed. The XT912 is the "Droid" version for VZW and the XT910 is the GSM version used world wide. Although there is no MAXX for the XT910.
no razr maxx in the UK so I got the Droid razr

Razr Maxx here. Tons of battery life with 4G on all day!
I am probably going to get the RAZR, because the Maxx is $100 more just for battery. I'll just go pick up a USB battery pack for $40 and then I get a thinner phone, too. Also, the white looks pretty sharp. Haha, get it (Its not very funny)?
Any RAZR owners know of the best ICS rom?
Razr owner. I really don't have issues with the battery. I am usually busy at work so my battery lasts about 18 a day. Them on the weekends, I am usually close to a power outlet.

Best to get the MAXX. The extra battery life is worth it. I had the RAZR and carried around an extra potable battery charger. Once the MAXX was announced I returned the RAZR. Bought the MAXX on launch day, best decision I made. I get about 18+ hours on a single charge. Best RAZR did was 8-9 hours.

Well Im hoping this pattern doesn't hold true but the DROID razr and maxx don't have removable batteries and the DROID 4 also doesn't have a removable battery. Is this something we will be seeing in future Motorola phones, unremovable batteries. I hope not but not having removable batteries does allow for the batteries to be more compact and therefore the phone more compact.

I don't see this being an issue. Apple has had no removable battery and their phones are just fine. And the maxx is great and still thin with this large battery. Look at all the extended batteries where it creates a massive hump.

Yeah that was just a stupid thread. The maxx is still really thin and has a great battery and as time goes on the battery technology will get much better.

The latest sony xperia s also having nonremovable battery.
Sent from my XT910 using XDA
I would have to say a non removable battery helps make the Device slimmer cuz they can have odd shaped batteries and not have to worry. And not having to worry about a battery door. Though I hope it isn't the future, at least with current battery tech.

The lucid is very slow, has no led charging indicator, has a bad camera and takes forever to charge. It also has bad battery life. The only other phone in my price range is a razr. Do you think it is worth paying the 30$ restoring fee or should I just deal with this phone

I am not going to talk crap about that phone but if crack flashing isn't what you care after but a better overall phone is I would pay the stocking fee and move into the maxx if you can. If not the RAZR is still a good phone. I am using the ics 84 leak and can tell you that it is 100% great owning my maxx. Only option I wish I had was a 0 shutter camera but the maxx camera is very fast and once focused almost 0 shutter. It will do
The plain Razr is fine if you're OK with charging it a lot... personally, I wouldn't change unless it was to the Razr Maxx.
I've owned both RAZR and Maxx and the RAZR still has very good battery life In general. You just gotta hope for a RAZR with no mechanical factory defects...( I've had 2 different phones returned). Also when I said a RAZR with no defects that also went for the Maxx as well. I've had one RAZR and one Maxx with defects

The lucid charges very slowly and there's basically no development for it anyways because it just came out. I've already decided and I'm getting a razr tomorrow.

Well you're certainly getting better development on the rezound than you would with the razr. Stupid Motorola / Verizon.
I'd get rid of my razr for an HTC phone if I could just for the development.

I had the maxx originally and I'm 100% certain that even if the rezound had 0 development for it, I would still take it.over the moto... The razr will go down in history as the second most overrated phone... Right.behind the iPhone ofc

I went from a rez to my maxx. The rez was very nice and very nice camera and screen...but w the extended battery it got heavy feeling. Uncomfortably heavy. Hard to see in the sun. Not hating on the rezound as it is a great device...but my maxx w ics 4.0.4 is exactly what I wanted. 6+ hours screen on time. No hesitation or stuttering. Runs perfect. Autosync always on. Always run data. Auto brightness on. No tricks. Just use it
How did you end up with this phone? What made you choose it? What makes you keep it? Post your story.
I have the Razr Maxx on Verizon Wiress (CDMA). Things I dislike about this phone...
1. The camera, it's no slouch but I got use to the camera on my previous GS2. That has better lense/camera.
2. Slight lag here and there, again I came from a GS2 that used Exynos processor.
3. No HD display BUT I am a big fan of Super Amoled. I just love how the colors pop.
4. Locked boot loaders!! (My Samsung GS2 was so easy to root and flash things on.)
There was even some points I thought of selling my Maxx and getting a GS3. I loved the GS2 but main problem was it had a really horrible wireless radio plus being on Sprint network did not help. I had no intentions in getting a Razr when I walked into the Verizon store. I already liked Samsung, I just needed better service. Had my mind on the Galaxy Nexus. But I loved the build of the slim RAZR. Tried it for a week or so, Ioved it. Got signal in areas I never did with other phones being on other networks. Battery was a big problem, like most Android phones, I said eff it and got the Maxx.
The radio and battery life make up for all the things I dislike about this phone. I just got a case from Seidio and that gives me the new phone feel again lol. I gave up things getting this phone but I've also gained things so it balances out

had thunderbolt. wanted battery. got maxx
Had rezound. Battery was terrible. Got talked out of getting a new phone (within 14 days) and instead got the extended battery. Still awful battery, and other problems. Got replacement rezound. That was even worse. Finally they let me exchange, and I got the maxx because I wanted the battery.

forget to charge one nite and it still runs all day the next...

Had galaxy nexus loved everything except the poor signal and battery life. RAZR Maxx fixed both problems. I'm keeping it unless the RAZR HD battery can compete with it.

Former fascinate and Charge owner. Upgrade became available before the unlimited ban when upgrading. Got the maxx after checking all phones in the Verizon store and it being the most polished feeling.
Happy ever since. Screen and audio playback are not the best but everything else kicks ass.
Can't imagine having a lesser phone and there is no desire to deviate from stock.

The main criteria to buy a phone, is it has to be able to works as a phone. Period. Previously, I have RAZR V3xx, before changed to other Nokia phones and the Nexus One. V3xx was a very good phone which did a very good job as a phone; makes and receives calls. It also a very good HSDPA 3G "modem", USB tethered to laptop. Now I have RAZR XT910... and it just as good as the V3xx. I don't care how many cores, benchmark's scores or frames speed, but, if it cannot functioning as a proper phone, than it is worthless to me.
Thank you.

Holy crap batman. That's almost hard to believe. If it were a Nexus, I would believe that.
After my 3rd Galaxy Nexus, I got fed up with it. Purchased a Razr. The Maxx was then Released. Sold Razr. Bought Maxx. Friend was selling his Razr dirt cheap. So I bought it. And now have two Razr's.

I switched to a razr maxx after three galaxy nexus bad phones. The razr Maxx does everything I need it to do.
Development is heating up on it too.
I have a galaxy s3 also but I'm finding that I keep going to the razr when I NEED my phone to just Work....like when I'm at work.
I go back to the gs3 because the screen is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. The razr just works better all the time.

When I used a gnex I thought the two phones performed similarly although the Motorola came out on top when you needed data or GPS or phone signal or battery.

I am jumping ship and moving on to the s3. I can't stand the data drops and many other issues with my razer. My question is...is the s3 a good choice? Ie good data, unlockable bootloader and good Roms? I just want to be sure I am making the right choice. Any input would be helpful.
Probably better to ask in the s3 forum.
Ignorance screams for attention!
Go to a general Android forum and ask. It is not good taste to ask what phone you should get to replace the phone whose forum you are posting in. We all like our phones and don't give up on them.

I kinda miss my samsung screen, but my maxx is superior in every other area. (well, except bootloader)
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
i have a s3 and my wife a razr maxx. what you will miss the most going from maxx to s3 is probably the radio reception. motorola in general has better radios than samsung therefore reception will be notably better. for instance, my phone and wife's phone side by side...i'm seeing -75db on her phone and mine has -92db. i know from gb to ics/jb can have a difference of up to 10db but still. 3db is double the gain. i can almost never get 5 bars (usually 2-4) whereas she usually has 4-5 bars (orange county has damn good verizon service). i've never dropped a call or had any problems though...and as far as lte bandwidth, there's a lot of variation but i attribute that more to external network related variables (load and such). from what i read, s3 has much more freedom when it comes to rom/kernel customization than the razr. i'm currently doing research into custom roms for my wife's phone for a reliable daily driver. i'm using the synergy rom with o/c'd ziggy kernel. very nice daily driver and much better than stock for me. maxx of course has better battery life out of the box. in order to keep up, i ordered a 4400 mah battery that added about 1/3" to my phone. i actually like the extra bulk as it felt too thin and flimsy in my hand. i came from a thunderbolt and that with stock battery is only ~1/8" maybe 3/16" thinner than my ext bat s3. for me, it's negligible for the batt life increase. s3 screen is notably better than the razr screen. wife likes my phone she wants one now. i might give her mine when the s4 comes out
also touchwiz vs motoblur i'd say motoblur is a bit better as it's a little more pure android than touchwiz. it's personal preference. i like the aosp/aokp roms too for pure android goodness.
