Upgrade from regular RAZR opinion - RAZR HD General

Hello,
I got the regular (Droid) RAZR XT910 from Rogers and now they're offering me a deal to upgrade to a new phone for (nearly) free.
So far, i'm loving my XT910 even if Moto broke my heart back then after releasing the MAXX since my biggest pet peeve is the battery life... but other than that (and the "ok" screen) it's a great phone! nice and thin, the way i like it.
But few months ago RAZR HD is out and it seems to fix everything I loath from XT910... and I was drooling over it. But now? Not so sure.
So would anyone recommend for or against me upgrading to RAZR HD at this point of the year? Or anyone can recommend another phone? (no, we don't get RAZR HD MAXX here in Canada)(but we do have Galaxy SIII...)(..or iPhone5)
Thanks!

You love the razr ? your really love the razr hd !
Samsung Galaxy S3 is a great device.... but call quality and RF ( signal ) is not good as the RAZR HD ...
Galaxy S3 have many roms ... Razr HD is limited for the moment ... but Razr HD have the bootloader unlocked !
Galaxy S3 if you use the stock rom have touchwiz ... i really don't like !

It's always good if you can wait... I have been in same situation and finally decided to get the Razr HD. Technology is always evolving.. and trust me whatever phone you buy, it will be outdated in few months. So imo.. Go check Razr HD in the store.. if you really like it.. go for it.

Thanks! Last question, is the Rogers version has jelly Bean yet?

Hey Buddy,
I helped out in the RAZR forum for a while... I'm still helping out there of course but I totally recommend the RAZR HD. This is a very nice phone and the battery life is amazing. Coming from a Droid 4 (which had the same size battery as a RAZR OG) this battery lasts me an entire day with what I consider abuse (excess usage), yesterday I really killed it (spent time in a movie theatre and a comedy club, where there is 0 signal) and I still ended up down to around 19%.
The UI is great, and the phone is much smoother than any OMAP processor devices I've ever used.
Saying that, you might want to wait I always change my phones like once a year anyways; but this is the first phone that I've purchased (on Rogers) since I've went Android, and the HD interface is really beautiful. The Jelly Bean upgrade is just around the corner, I think it will be dropping later this month according to Rogers, and I have a feeling there will be a much larger development community built here since the bootloader is a straightforward unlock, which means I might not jump ship on the entire device once Moto stops making updates for it.
If I could change one thing in the phone, it would be the amount of memory as I would have thrown in 2GB RAM, to ensure it can run the next version of Android, but either way this phone is awesome.

Droid 3> Or <X?

Anyone play around with the droid 3 or upgrade from the X to it? I am thinking of using my upgrade on it.. I miss having a keyboard. I was waiting for the bionic but who knows when if it will come out, plus there's no keyboard..4G really isn't relevant for where I live yet.
Idk still wait for the bionic but if you don't need the 4g then the others seem more apealing. But if you get the bionic there will be plenty of new stuff for it, no doubt they will realease honeycomb for it if its popular enough.

Wait, people are still considering buying a Motorola phone when HTC is unlocking all their bootloaders and Samsung has been making it easy to do so as well?

Xoom + DX = bluetooth tether for free without root. Also works with D1, D2, D2G, D2R2D2, and DPro. Probably will work with D3 and Bionic. Oh, and bluetooth tether with these Moto phones also will work with a Samsung Tab 10.1, and probably any other Honeycomb tablet. Regular adhoc Wifi hotspot doesn't work. Thanks Moto
You should be able to do that with any other Bluetooth Android phone, too. However, Bluetooth data transfer rates are ridiculous...you probably don't notice on 3G, but if you go to LTE, you'll see horrible performance doing that.

The D3 is a nice phone but Im holding out til the Bionic hits.
I've got 4G where I live already and want 4G for video chatting.
4G will provide a smoother Video chat experience when compared to a 3G connection.
Got a buddy of mine with the D3 and I was comparing it to an X2 and I would take the D3 over the X2 if I had to get a phone right now this minute. But its sounds more and more like the BIONIC is going to be the device to have. LTE and pretty much the same as the D3 in every other way. The D3 I think is a little late to the party at this point. It should have come out shortly before the but LTE push to hold people over but now I am afraid its going to get swept under the rug.
Then like some of the other posts said the Samsung devices are really frickin nice right now and that SuperAMOLED is incredible to look at.

How does the screen on the Droid 3 look as compared to the Droid X2?

From what I noticed they are the same when it came down to quality. So size is the biggest difference I saw and the X2 wins there.

On topic:
I would wait another couple of weeks for the bionic or any news of a SGSII. The Bionic has a home splash now at Verizon, and we all have thought for a while that August would be the right time anyways. Judge for your self from there, as the Bionic is rummored to be a slightly different beast. (probably a 3g phone vs. 4g Flagship type thing)

Not Necessary. Look at the Atrix, I have some faith left for open boot loaders on future phones. Also, I love moto build quality and style. If you don't like moto phones, and the thread is asking specifically of a moto device, inside a thread for a moto device, you should probably take a long and hard look at your priorities.
Yeah besides some issues with my last DROID X Motorola has been rock solid hardware and great for reception and to me lately quality beats easy rooting. I have my X and three OG DROIDS my wife and sister are due to upgrade in november so we will see what's hot then but Motorola will still be the first phones I look at.

Stay with droid x or buy bionic

Hey everyone, just curious with opinions, should I stay with my droid x or buy the droid bionic when it comes out, take in mind I would have to pay full retail, thanks guys
DROID X running liberty GB V.8
I'm having the same thought as you. But retail? That's my drawback. Plus there has been so much happening in the last 2-3 months with the X. roms galore. So in the end I think I'm going to wait and watch. If it comes to the point that so many modders focus strictly on the bionic, that may make me jump on board sooner.
Yeah, retail and all the roms coming out for the X are starting to hold me back to, i will probably wait, and watch

Is the bionic confirmed unlocked?

There's so many phones coming out in the next month in a half, if having Motorola isn't a must, go ahead and wait.
Although right now development r the X is great, and we don't know whether Motorola will live up to there promises and unlock the bootloader in the Bionic.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I had the same urge before, but after cm4dx came out I see no point of buying a new phone until Ice Cream Sandwich hehe.
I just got my Droid X and I am coming from an OG Droid. This thing is WAY faster and so much smoother. AND THEN I put CyanogenMod 7 on this thing and now I am in love for real. Only thing the community needs is an open bootloader for custom kernels and I would be golden. I believe I am going to have to hold off on a newer phone, but I do get an upgrade in November. So I think I will sit back and watch what happens as well. Fingers crossed for an unlocked bootloader.
Thinking of the same thing.
I would have been eligible for annual upgrade. Now they discontinued.
What to do???
I'm going to wait it out. Droid X has been very good especially running Liberty GB. It will be interesting to see how the Bionic does though.
I'm eyeing up the nexus prime myself. If verizon does get it and the specs are what everyone is saying they will be or better I will probably be picking it up upon release.

If you are waiting for the ultimate phone to spend $600 on, you will never do it. From the time super mega killer phone X is announced and finnally released, super mega killer phone Z is in the works with even better specs, etc. You can't win. Keeping up with the latest electronics is a waste of money. I suggest you wait until the Bionic is out a couple of weeks and see what the reviews are before you decide. Might be a turd.

Of course, but if you keep waiting for the next best thing you'll never buy anything.
If the Bionic comes next month, and the HD in October, I can wait for the HD. It has a bigger and better screen than the Bionic.
im thinking the bionic
The bionic 2 is such a beast I will wait for that.
Unless you have money to burn, burn wait until later in the year. I got my x on launch day, and I'm eligible for an upgrade (according to the guy at the version store who I have worked with a lot) in December. The I'm sure that I'm not alone. Besides, the x, really isn't that far out of date yet. It will be around new year. The moral of the story, and just wait a little while longer.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Yeah I'm eligible for upgrade in October. The bionic looks great but I'm sure if I wait a bit longer they'll announce a DX3 or something that will stomp bionic. Not to mention, 4G for Verizon is still very limited so I'd want to buy a phone that not only has power, but a network where that power could flourish.

Need phone suggestions for Verizon.

Hello all,
I dropped my work cell, and jacked it up bad.
Good thing though, is I am eligible for an upgrade and the datacom ladies told me I can get any of the Verizon Android phones or an iPhone 4S.
I need some suggestions for new phones pretty quickly as I need to let my Director know by this Friday.
I love Android so I think the iPhone is out of the question. I have an HTC EVO for my personal phone. I am looking at the Motorola Droid Razr MAXX and the Galaxy Nexus.
Price doesn't really matter, as the company allows up to $300 for phone replacement every 2 years, so they would both be "free" to me.
I would like to be able to root the phone so I can tether. There is pretty good LTE 4G coverage in my area as well. What are some pros and cons to them? What phones do you suggest (Im open to other models as well).?
galaxy nezus!
Galaxy Nexus has the full support of Google which means the best versions of Android. The nexus will be VERY easy to root and custom MOD to your hearts desire. It is the developer phone of choice because of the Nexus Line. Incredible screen, really big, really clear and detailed.
The Droid RAZR MAXX has the best bettery of life of almost any phone on the market and it probably has the best hardware too. Kevlar backing, metal frame. Motorola has gotten better in terms of software, Motoblur isn't quite so crappy. Motorola phones are harder to root and custom mod but they aren't impossible. The screen is smaller and less clear then the Nexus but Coming from and HTC EVO it is an improvement.
Recommendation for a WORK phone, i would recommend the RAZR MAXX. Its battery life is incredible. You have no worries about a dead battery halfway through the day
In fact,Motoblur is very good.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Rezound, it has a lot going for it. It's a global device! Plus if you are already used to sense, and like it, you will know your way around it. Plus, it's unlockable through HTC dev. Super easy process. Then you only have to flash recovery, su binary, then download superuser and you are rooted.
Nexus is no longer going to be supported by Google as the issues with CDMA have become too much of a hassle.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestions so far. I didnt even think about the Rezound.
I do like the high resolutions of the Nexus and the Rezound, but the battery life on the Razr Maxx is tempting.
For me I want to be able to root it, and have a good looking display, and a phone that is going to be smooth with ICS. I also need a phone that will be fairly durable, as it will see alot of use at the office as well as in the datacenter. Since I only get an upgrade from work every 2 years, I would like one that will "be around" for a while. My personal EVO has been a damn good phone and I would love to use one like it for work.
Whats the deal with Google and CDMA phones? I havent heard that.
I say the Razr Maxx if you want durability. Otherwise the Rezound is great all around.

Durability and battery life has to be the RAZR MAXX, it is built solid.
As for Google. It still supports CDMA devices but not directly through the Android Open Source Project. CDMA requires closed sourced sign apk's for the carriers in order to get data working. Google doesn't like that. Verizon leveraged that into bloating its version of the Nexus. Google STILL supports it, just not through AOSP
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

I've never used the Razr yet...but i've used just about all of motorola phones, pre-android and android...and although they're getting better...they're never as good their competitors... get the SGNEXUS!!!

you're next phone manufacturer

what's you're next phone manufacturer
and do you plan to change you're atrix in near future?
The Atrix is pretty good for me, enough so that I'm not planning on switching any time soon. As in, once my AT&T contract is up in a year, unlock it and take it to one of T-Mobile's value plans any time soon. It runs ICS so well that I'd have a hard time believing that it wouldn't be able to handle future versions of Android with an at least usable speed.
But when I do, it'll probably be a Samsung. Motorola has next to no dev support unless its a Droid (The Atrix seems like a happy accident to me from that standpoint), and HTC is half-assing its bootloader unlock solution. Software matters more to me than hardware, so its either a Nexus or something with lots of dev support, and that means Samsung.
Still waiting for the Sony Ion to surface. Thought the SGS3 would be better, so giving that a miss, and AT&T keeping One X bootloader locked just downright pissed me off. Rethinking carrier now too.

Im a motorola woman. Never steered me wrong yet since my very first razr. So what its got a locked bootloader? So many dev out there that love to tinker or make a career out of hacking that the support is there, not with moto anymore. Ill stick with my atrix til the next best thing comes from moto.
I'll probably stick with Motorola, but make sure I buy a phone with an unlockable bootloader. They just make great hardware, I'll rely on the community for my software needs

Atrix with lapdock. Nothing can beat this combo at performance/price.Just bought me one and overally satisfied. It will keep me busy for a while until motorola releases a new razr hd maxx with better specs and 3300mah battery, most importantly with unlocked bootloader. Otherwise atrix forever.
partially leaving the atrix community tomorrow. Having terrible hardware problems with my phone. The in ear speaker doesn't work. The external speaker is starting to break on me. Screen has a terrible banding around the outer edge of the phone. Bought a galaxy nexus from the play store. Hopefully this phone turns out better than the atrix for me. Although I have to say, the dev. community is great here. But we did get lucky with the bootloader unlock. Thanks to kennethpenn for the leak.

Doesn't Motorola realize that their snail's pace update cycle is losing them customers? That is the #1 reason I probably won't get another Motorola.
What about this one ?
http://www.bsquare.com/snapdragon-mobile-development-platform.aspx
As an international user I can tell you I´ll think very carefully wether to get another motorola or not, and probably not. I´m very happy with my atrix but the fact that being looking for AT&T support, updates and roms obligates me thinking the true necesity to overcome this mobile life style, when there are companies like samsung which delivers international support by the minute.
If you are an US costumer you are relly good with Moto, as their upgrade/update forum claims to unleash ICS for every US device quite soon. Not the same to Int´l which still is in "Studying for future development" or whatever...
So, be wise and decide well
Already left. (not by choice, i dropped my atrix and repaired the screen. I broke it again a week later and also the charging port.) Picked up a Samsung Galaxy Note on att. I love it so far, not too sure on software support from them, but i love the phone. Id take a Tegra or OMAP over this darn Snapdragon though...

RAZR buying or not?

Hey guys, i think about buying me a new phone with a dual core, because i think that this is the minimum configuration of a smartphone today (At the moment i have an optimus black).
Can you still recommend the RAZR (and why) or would you prefer other lowpriced (older) smartphones like the Nexus oder the Galaxy S2.
Thanks
I have a Galaxy Nexus and my girlfriend just got the Razr HD Maxx (Major upgrade from her Droid 2), and it really depends on what you are into. The device is amazingly snappy (Even more than my fully rooted, ROM'd, custom kernel Galaxy Nexus), and the radios are much stronger than my Galaxy Nexus (A lot of times she will have 4G in buildings where I only have 1 or 2 bars of 3G). Also, the 3300 Mah battery is insane, it literally is a full day phone, usually she has 45% at the end of the day (She uses it a lot for pinterest, facebook, all that girly stuff). But, the main problem is that it does not have stock Android, and probably won't for a while. If that bothers you then go with the Galaxy Nexus otherwise this is definitely a great phone to have.

Motorola is the only company that came out and said they wanted to be stock Android, but the carriers request the skins. That wins points in my books, and in all honesty it still looks closer to aosp than any other phone out there.
It all depends on what your looking for op. If you want great battery and build then this phone will be perfect. If you need the best camera or a removable battery, you might want to look elsewhere.

Looked at getting it for a while, but decided on the SGS3 since it had a great camera and a removable battery.
I'm in the same boat. I like the razr because its as close to stock android you can get without being a nexus phone. Build quality and battery also look great. The one thing I'm concerned about is all the restrictions moto puts on their phone and the bloatware I'll have to remove once I root it.

Bought the HD dev and waiting for it to arrive. Can't beat moto build quality and radio. Root is already available so you can freeze all the bloat easily. Aside from waiting for the quad core phones to arrive I think this is right with (if not above) the sgIII.

I'm strongly considering the MAXX HD. the general reviews seem good, the guts seem fine... a few complaints about the software/bloatware, but that's why I come to XDA. If the MAXX HD will get a root/recovery/ROM situation that supports AOKP or CM10 or whatever... that's the key. The phone's preload would be immediately lobotomized upon delivery and I'd set up with a rooted ROM as I'm accustomed to!
So, I'll be intently watching all the threads in the Razr HD section (presumably which covers the new MAXX HD as well :silly: )
Glad this section of the forum is up and running. I will likely be switching from Sprint to Verizon soon and this phone is exactly what I want. I'm on the Sprint Galaxy S2 right now but really want to give a Moto phone a shot over a S3. I can't wait to read some more opinions in the next few weeks.
Just picked one up yesterday was kind of nervous being that I was coming from the fiasco that was Motorolas Droid 3 but I now have no regrets. Wifi is kinda choppy but not bad. They will probably fix it in the future

Just ordered two from Simplexity online today. One HD - white for my wife and one Maxx HD for myself. They all got shipped out today and expect to arrive tomorrow afternoon. It is much better deal than local Verizon store and Costco. Cost me under $300 for two without tax. :laugh:
I cannot recommend the maxx enough. I'll take a huge sealed battery over a small removable battery any day. GS3 is nice hardware but I just can't get over the cheap feel and bloated UI of Samsung phones. A Ferrari engine in a Hyundai is still a Hyundai. I wanted the Ferrari design as well.

Paid $650 outright for my Maxx HD, I feel it was well spent. (Paid retail to keep my grandfathered unlimited data)
Coming from a Droid 2, the reception seems inferior, but it's hard to say at this point. Don't plan to return, but it will take another week or two to fully evaluate.
I've been away from my native north jersey at a conference in CA (4G everywhere, etc). Battery life is simply stunning, and responsiveness on ICS is amazing. Was running CM9 on my D2 and this is a huge step up. When you throw in the beautiful design, nice screen, and 4G capability, it's hard to find any reason not to buy this phone.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned anywhere (maybe it's fairly standard these days?): this phone has, or feels like it has, an LRA (linear resonant actuator) rather than your standard rotational vibrator. Haptic feedback feels excellent!
I'd strongly recommend this phone for anyone looking to buy or upgrade.

I went and checked this out at Verizon today and was VERY surprised of how much I liked it!
The big knock for me was the 4.7 in screen making the phone way to big....My OG Razr Maxx w/ 4.3 in screen is about as big as I want to go...
However, when I compared it to my OG Razr....it was EXACTLY the same size and dimension....The difference was having LESS bezel and MORE screen! It's a good bit smaller the GS3
I did a quick speed test and got 24 MB/S vs 12 MB/s on my OG Razr.....I didnt think I would like the soft button interface but it actually was much different than expected and made navigating and using the phone MUCH easier....and ;ast but not least the whole interface with supper smooth!
Cant afford it atm....but jIm def getting one soon!!
Today I was offered an alternative replacement for my Samsung Galaxy S3 that I finally accepted, which ends up being the Razr HD. My S3 cannot make calls 50% of the time due to a NO SIM error message... and I really just wanted them to fix my phone, but after 1.5 months of making excuses why my phone doesn't work to friends, co-workers, bosses, it was time to move on. I do have a question for you all, does this device have NFC? The Motorola site does not list this as a feature of the phone, but other sites say it does. As a temp resolution Verizon sent me a Galaxy Nexus, which was nice of them. (although I have yet to see a real amazing upgrade over the touchwiz'd ICS on the S3) How are you guys enjoying the motoblur? Worth it to move to a new ROM, or stick with stock?
Thanks, in advance!
