Yes I did, and honestly im torn between the two.
thats why I posted this
I want a long battery life (both should do that)
and I dont care about better processors or more ram or whatever I just want a smartphone that will get good battery and will last me a day

would he razr hd get the same battery life though?
I mean it has a newer processor which helps with power consumption
so would that make the 2 about the same if you figure that in?
and just to make sure everyone's on the same page....
im talking about the droid razr maxx and NOT the max hd
The maxx's battery is much larger. A better processor will give some additional life, but not as much as a bigger battery. I simply no longer pay attention to my battery with my maxx.

I have had a razr maxx and the razr hd before. In my opinion. The razr hd battery seems to last as long as the older razr maxx. I would get the razr hd

Same here, I hardly ever look at the battery, I have a Maxx xt910. I am currently on ICS because my phone is a Asia.03 (that I somehow got stuck on EU firmware...anyone know how to revert PM me lol)
It all depends on whether you want to upgrade past JB or not. The Razr Maxx is going to get JB by the end of the first quarter, but that's it. No other updates after JB. The Razr HD may get Key Lime Pie because it's newer but it's not guaranteed. Also, the Maxx doesn't have NFC capabilities so that means no Android Beam. I don't know if the HD has it or not.

Well is price a major factor? I think the Razr Maxx is relatively cheap or free on contract, whereas the HD is $200.

So because my old razr wouldn't update I was sent a replacement
So for a few days I'll have a GB and ICS razr so if anyone would like any side by side tests ran let me know.

Any way you could do a battery test?
I would be very interested in such a test. It seems that battery life might be shorter on ics and that would be a deal breaker for me, as the only reason I got my razr maxx is battery. If I have a better understanding of the differences between ics and gb I might choose to stay with gb

I would be most interested in side by side call quality tests, both incoming and outgoing. If you only have one SIM, a way to do this would be to record yourself speaking to voicemail reading the same paragraph with each phone, and then listening to the readings with a high quality landline.
I would also like to see a comparison of signal strength (max distance to tower before dropout), as well as wifi range.
Thirdly, a comparison of music playback through a high end audio system would prove excellent.
All of these tests are almost never seen in phone reviews (except briefly in passing sometimes), and yet they are arguably the most fundamental, and most important qualities of any phone.
Just my 3 cents...
According to the site’s sources, the long-awaited ICS bug fix for the Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX may not be ready until September. That’s about a month after the original mid-August target, and if you’re counting the days with us, it is currently mid-August
http://easternmorningherald.com/motorola-droid-razr-droid-razr-maxx-ics-bug-fix-to-be-ready-in-september/1214804/
I don't have the problems they indicate. All about an update to improve what is already good.
Counting the days...I could care less!

Very interesting as I have 2 phones that out of the blue can't keep any signal and drop sometimes for an hour and then are fine. I tried a new similar and various other things. Wonder if that will fix issues I am having.
Seems strange we've only seen a handful of leaks.

i hope they keep to their word ics is really buggy on the razr
I have to turn my phone off and on at least every other day otherwise it will go through a bunch off apps like a slide show. Or if I'm texting it will enter a bunch of random characters on its own. It's like the screen is stuck until I reset it. Sometimes the screen doesn't respond at all.

no issues on razr maxx, ICS is smooth and fast
Battery Life did take a significant hit and I hope the bug fix does come in september.

ICS and My Razr
I have zero problems with Stock Razr Maxx 4.0.4 Rooted + some minor tweaks to the CPU, FS, and dual boot using boot manager.
Days without rebooting, unless I am messing with it in recovery, battery life is strong, and no dropped calls etc....
The only update I really need is something that makes the camera work better, picture quality is awful. Third party cams do not seem to solve the problem. Someone mentioned a thread that modifies JPEG compression, I was going to look for that today.
I haven't had one problem with my phone since the update, did you all backup your data and do a cache/ factory wipe before the updating? That's what I've always done. Even my old iphones had problems if i did a major update without wiping.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Lately I have had signal loss.
Not update related. I moved and am in this dead zone. Walk outside the house and signal is like a rock.
+1 on full wipe.
Though smart actions does an annoying glitch but that is something with the app itself or its interaction with data switching on and off.

Factory wiped with matts utility. No problems here either! I do however wish I had the battery from the maxx. Only thing I don't like about this phone. Battery sucks.

Got some problems with incoming SMS on my PSHAsia Razr, and the battery life is not very good on ICS. Hope this will be fixed.

I heard that the new update could include a unlockable bootloader for the international razr /maxx so it can be included in the unlock tool.
Hopefully its true.

hi all, I'm considering getting the Motorola Droid Razr M. I currently have a Samsung Droid Charge (rooted, but still stuck on GB). My main reason for getting the Razr is for better battery life and a smaller device. My Charge drains at 5% per hour on 4G in idle mode (1% per hour on WiFi in idle mode). Thus, I need Juice Defender just to make it from morning to night.
Curious to see how easy root/unroot is, and what the benefits are (aside from removing bloatware)? I've been somewhat spoiled with my Charge, as the phone is unbrickable. Is the Razr just as user-friendly?
thanks!
I had the Charge as well, and while I prefer Odin and the Charge in terms of flashing kernels, ROMs, radios, etc., the RAZR is just as easy.
The RAZR has locked boot loaders. The release of kexec should allow better development but it's gonna take a few months. You should wait and get the RAZR HD or Maxx HD. Those two will give you better battery than the RAZR M and they have better displays. Same as the GS3 I believe, Super Amoled HD.

Pretty much what he said... but the razr m seems like a better fit if you want all around smaller.. we have booting kexec roms with everything working but camera due to ril... lol.. im sure your familiar hearing that coming from the charge.. im personally gonna pick up the maxx hd on battery life alone...
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA Premium HD app
thanks for the responses y'all.... I'm not a developer, so I'm new to the "kexec" terminology. I did some google searching, and from what I gathered (briefly), is that kexec is needed to install custom kernels (hence the K part)?
I don't mind waiting for development to develop for the Razr, as it looks like the M has some "smartaction" features that help with battery conservation.
just getting sick and tired of my charge dropping down to 85% after just 2 hours (even though I'm running JD).
Be aware that likely most development will happy with the developer edition of the M. deves have chimed in on that pretty loudly. at least on the twitters.
Did anyone notice this?
In countries outside the U.S., the device will ship with an unlockable bootloader where operators allow.

It will be tough to resist, that HD Maxx.
Hopefully the ergonomics are better than current maxx. The current maxx, even with same screen size as my Charge, just feels clumsy in comparison.
Odd considering it is thinner than the Samsung.

I will belive it when I see it.
If the bootloader is unlocked in the EU version I might get a HD MAXX.
Ofcourse, I will wait until it is confirmed. I will never trust motorola's word again.

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

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.
hi. i havr droid razr xt912 maxx and im using it.. its kinda bulky. and also i have a xt912 not maxx and its not working. its has a brandnew battery though i use it for a while coz the phine itself cannot open.
