New guy - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hey guys.... Just upgraded from my galaxy s3 to the DROID RAZR. Love it. My s3 had a broken power button and my dad got the HTC one today. Hope to learn new things from the Motorola community.
PS. Wasn't being sarcastic about upgrading. That plastic... Gross

Aha thanks. Any tips for the camera? Seems grainy and blurry. Maybe the lens is scratched.

Take pictures in better lighting, that's about it. Though I have used some roms in beta stages where the camera is just plain not right. Stock rom, Should be "okay" good light.

Thanks... Yes it works well sometimes... Now I just need to fix battery and wifi and I'll be set. Love Motorola ui.. Which I dare not say Motoblur.

Try my modded stock camera app to have more control of the camera at the apps and games section.

Welcome
Droid Razr... So it's the CDMA xt912 version? Maxx or standard?
Now you only have to root it and install new roms
Sorry for my english. It's bad or worse

Stock ROM camera seems to work pretty good, but most other ROMs the camera is grainy from what I have tried

IF you have issues like that browse droidrzr.com it has a lot to offer. And pretty much with the tools they have the device is unbrickable. They have a tool that can wipe the whole device and reinstall the image if you ever mess up. Its pretty nice.

Can I block OTA?

I just got a new razor Max. I hated ICS on it. Can I block the OTA or do I have to keep hitting cancel?
GINGERBREAD just runs better in my eyes.

Or just install ics, and use some launcher to make it look like gb.

A troll to not like Ics? I don't get that one. I don't want it either and used titanium to freeze the updater. Worked great. Ya'll enjoy ICS and I'll enjoy GB. Nice to have a choice.

Razr Not Bad At All

So guys i was surfing through youtube, and then I came across this on youtube, Razr vs S3.
Now we all know Razr is no competition for S3 but after watching this video aI am very proud of My Razr and I am sure you all will be .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25xL34ybAfk&feature=plcp
The Galaxy S3 didn't shine in my eyes so Razr It is.
Samsung galaxy collection always sucked and will suck.
Razr for the win.

Dan: I disagree. I had the sgs1 and the support on here and other sites was huge. And the ability of the device was good also. The fact that nexus s will be getting 4.1 means the sgs1 will probably get a port. The sgs2 and 3 are evolutions of the original and although the samsung build quality isn't as good as moto, they are still great devices.

RAZR looks better. that, for me, is good enough.
edit: but, boy, that live wallpaper must've sucked a bit of battery juice, doesn't it?
I owned the Vibrant and the SGS4g and they were both slow as hell. I know the S2.and S3 are much better, but for me my Maxx us the best phone I have ever owned.

New MotoBlur UI

Engaget posted a look to the new Moto UI for ICS.
Lots of screenshots and it does look great (in my opinion, of course)

Stock Android still looks better.
its nice, been using it a while now and like it alot.
New motoblur is a step in the right direction with the modest amount of theming involved. They seem to have basically made their blur apps themed to blend well with stock ics which is nice. Icons are still ugly as hell though, and they changed the black statusbar? Personally, you wont find me runnin the new blueblur. For every blur app out there, there will be a better alternative in the play store.

I am definitely excited about trying the Official ICS from Motorola. I was on the stock Rom with my Photon for quite sometime before I rooted it and then started to flash custom Roms on it. In my own opinion, an small improvement with MotoBlur is a huge improvement for me.
i think ics with motoblur will be better than cm9

Is this phone worth getting?

I am thinking definitely of getting this phone is this phone still good ? And does have the high hd screen really matter? What about the cpu what is the difference between 1.5 gig cpu and 1.2 gig cpu? Thank for helping me out!
Sent from my ADR6300
In simple words, 1.5 ghz cpu is faster than a 1.2 ghz cpu.
As for your main question, its a very good phone but if you're planning to buy a new one, there are many recent phones available with a better hardware for the same price.

with this money definitely worth buying

It is worth it, especially with the maxx version. But if you can grab the hd one, choose that, it is at least on par in screen department with gnex, and the battery starts from 2500mah (compared with 1650 in old razr). But if you solely seeking for battery life razr maxx (non hd) is the king.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
razr has 1780 mAh if I'm not mistaken
Thanks I am mostly be getting the old razr which is Better than the rezound lol with battery anyway having hdmi too! Thank I would get the maxx but it cost over 200$ and the razr costs under 150 lol the hdmi costs dubble that. Thanks
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah my Razr Maxx has been pushed to the limit and beyond with flashing of ROM's since it came out and I have never seen any problems or any battery loss. The phone is still among the best IMO when it comes to all round phone.
Thanks I am going to get the razr thank u for all the help hope to see u on it soon lol

Would you guys do it if you had the chance? P.s not asking for volunteers to trade my nexus 4. Just want your opinion.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
considering that the screen is no where as nice and that its lower storage with base model, no, but mainly because it will not work on verizion lol. I love my DNA and its basically the same phone spec wise aside from battery, camera, and screen. This is my opinion of course.

Not a chance. The one thing I don't like about Nexus devices (and I may be the only one) is that all the roms are AOSP. There's really no variety. Back when I had my Gnex I was incredibly bored since all the roms looked and acted the same. I know it's getting better and that a lot of new features are popping up (especially in PA), but I like having the option to run Sense or AOSP. And I have a huge soft spot for Sense, that's something that you'll never see on a Nexus device.
