Motorola razr HD (Aussie thread )

How many of my Aussie brothers have bought this smartphone and how good is it compared to the quadcore phones out there today and would you recommend it?

i am using ONE X, and then i got a RAZR HD
i didn't like it that much; besides the AMAZING download speed
(4G that's without a doubt, and 3G is also great reach 25Mb~30Mb of speed)
but performing wise... no, it is not faster than Quadcore phones.
so if you haven't but it, try S3 the LTE version (I9305) which has 2G of RAM (don't get the wrong one)
that I9300 also just piece of crap LOL

if i get to choose? Nexus 4
please correct me if i am wrong,
that Nexus 4 it's Quadcore 1.5Ghz Krait
and
RAZR HD only has Dual Core 1.5GHz Krait
performance wise, Nexus 4 is definately much better
Nexus 4 also comes with 2G of RAM
the only down side of Nexus 4, it's that 16GB of ROM and not expandable
please ref this page for more comparison info

:good:

I rolled out 3 new GS3 4G's at work. They seem nice and fast, but I'll never get another Samsung after my current GS2. Only thing leaning me towards the Razr HD at the moment is the battery life. My GS2 is sometimes dead by lunch and I'm just not sure if the Nexus will make it through a big work day.
Razr HD with CM10-11 would be amazing!
Oh and has anyone found/got a good case? I would be keen to find a flip case to protect the screen as well.

Can any aussie telstrs here upload the stock telstrs firmware, jelly bean or ics?

I really like the nexus 4 but 16gb is not enough since there is only about 12gb of internal space, then there is the Galaxy S3 but don't like it's polycarbonate casing because I currently have a Galaxy S2 on a Telstra plan and it's materials feel cheap but the Motorola has excellent materials and big battery and I have read reviews that talk highly of this phone so maby I'll wait till one of you guys can share your real world experience.

Using hd. Came from Htc one x and galaxy nexus. Used to swap sim regularly. Htc one x was rubbish. Constant issues and returned with further issues after warranty work.
I love my Hd, torn with Nexus 4 though. The build quality of the hd is awsome and hopefully its strong enough to break my cycle of 2-3 phones every year. No regrets especially when in 4g

Please somebody upload the firmware? Telstra seems to operate on 4G 1800MHz like my Belgian provider. Then I can use 4G.
Or if someone is willing to sell me a new one >PM<

I'm thinking about getting the HD. I currently have the SGSIII. Any comparissons or recommendations on the two? Is the HD quicker with dual core Krait CPU?

Got a Razr HD on the weekend. Love it. The build quality is excellent and the software seems much better than some of Motos previous efforts. The battery life hasn't amazed me yet. Hopefully it improves. I can only get about 17 hours so far with moderate usage. I installed Juice Defender last night and it seems to be making a big difference so far...
Can't wait for Jelly Bean. After running CM10 on my previous phone (Defy) and my Nexus 7, ICS is a bit of a step backward...

Wife has a SG3, its ok, plastic feels cheap. All the extra UI stuff just gets turned off after the first gimmick day. My RAZR feels smoother.

Moved from Virgin to Telstra to get a Razr HD. Got it a just over a week ago and returned it yesterday morning. The vibrate was not working period so I contacted Moto and they told me to turn it on and off again... Super! Funnily enough that didn't bring the vibrater back to life. Ended up doing a full factory reset about a dozen times. Nope.
Returned to the phone to Telstra under their ELF program for up to a two week wait.. Yippee
They gave me a sweet Galaxy Ace to keep me going... Super.
Think I just got a bad one but if They replace it with another failure I might try and get an SGSIII instead. My wife has one and It is better then the Razr HD if I'm honest.

Downgrading from the Note II to the Moto G

Hey Guys.
I recently traded in my Galaxy Note II, which I had been using for the better part of a year, and bought a Moto G. The main reason for this was that I was low on funds, and I knew I would be able to get some extra cash from the trade. And I had also grown tired with the excessively large screen which had been the reason I purchased it in the first place.
On my Note I had been using had stock Android 4.4, so the transition hasn't been too bad.
Anyway, I typed up a quick review of the Moto G, and my experience of using it after a year of using the Note II on my website (link below).
Would love it if you guys could give it a read, and I'd be happy to answer any questions people have if they're planning on downgrading to the Moto G like I have.
http://www.themachonacho.com/moto-g-review/

i am note 2 user as well. bought moto g to replace my dying motorola defy mini. all i can say, moto g are such an awesome device.

I sold my S4 I9505 and bought the Moto G. And for my surprise, Moto G is best than S4!!!!

I sold my Note 3 to get a Moto G just for the extra $300. Haven't regretted it since. The Moto G for the price is a fantastic phone.

How you are using stock 4.4 on note 2 lol
4.4 kit kat have not been released for note 2 yet
I also own note 2 but i guess i will keep it at the moment because of big screen and better battery life

what if i told you, your not really downgrading, but upgrading?

It was a ROM

Im currently on Sprint with a Note 2 and will be switching to Tmobile so cut my monthly bill in half. Im still trying to decide between the Moto X and G, I know the G doesnt have LTE but Tmobile hspa seems to be plenty good considering the crappy 3g or even 4g that Sprint advertises.
I was leaning towards the Moto X sale but the more I think about it I might just go Moto G (I tend to play with my phone less anyways) and just stick with the Nexus 7 for work/home video youtube watching which is when I prefer to use the bigger screen.

I bought my 16GB Moto G because I need a dual SIM phone for work.
Compared to my Nexus 4 the only real noticible difference is the size, the Moto G still being o JB and a warmer titn to the display.
The biggest drawback for me at the moment is that its still on JB, when I first got KK on my N4 I noticed what felt like a few small differences and got jused to it fast. But now going from KK to JB I feel like I have stepped back into the stone age... at least KK will be rolled out eventually though so its not all doom and gloom.
Performance wise for my use and gaming (Real Racing 3 and Deer Hunter 2014) its just as capable as my N4 and that's nothing to sneeze at.
My N4 has been retired to my backup phone for now but they are both great phones in my opinion.

Day 1 With a Moto G

Hi guys this is just a little bit of fun and to just gather what everyone's thoughts where when they got their moto g?
Here's mine..

I bought the Boost Mobile Moto G at Target for $60. I unlocked the boot loader, flashed the Verizon 4.4.2 ROM and modified it to work on Page Plus. It's activated and working great. Last night I did the OTA update to 4.4.4. Plan to give it to my mother. Nice little phone.

Just sold my 3 week old LG G3 on ebay before I threw it against the wall. With the proceeds I bought a new to the market tablet which is an Acer Iconia Tab 8 (Beautiful full HD, 2gb ram, very speedy Intel Atom quadcore processor :laugh, a lovely bottle of single malt...oh...and a Moto G 16gb and I still have some change in my pocket.
For such a big downgrade (on paper) I have to say that I am very impressed with it. I haven't rooted it as I like to use Skygo but I have installed the HTC blinkfeed launcher and It looks and performs very nicely (as long as I have my glasses on )

Cheapest DECENT Android smartphone in 2015

I've seen the specs and I believe this is going to be the cheapest usable Android smartphone in 2015.
What do you guys think?

Sd410 is ****

I've bought one today for my dad. However I read someone mention on gsm arena that this Moto G is going to be rubbish compared to previous versions, because its made by Lenovo and not Google. Is this something to be concerned about or just a random opinion from a Google fan?

That makes no sense.
As far as I understand, Lenovo just bought Motorola to get access to the NA/EU phone market.
Why would it mess with the internal workings of a company that's been around longer than Lenovo's parent company???
Manufacturing shouldn't change from when it was owned by Google, who bought it for patent and manufacturing reasons.

I'm a little surprised there isn't more talk about the device on here. I'm currently on the iPhone 6 Plus but want to get myself the Moto G to play with and use as a back up.

If you are talking about IBM, IBM doesn't own Lenovo. Also, IBM has been around (not called IBM back then) since the 1890's, where Motorola has only been around since the 1920's.

And you can buy even OnePlus One in any retail smartphone shop

I'm an iPhone user, but I'm using the Moto G as a backup Android device. I like it. It's not a world-beater, but no one expected it to be. Solid device.

Firstly I wasn't talking about IBM. IBM sold Lenovo it's PC unit and IBM now focuses on services for the backbone/back office of the internet and intranets.
Back on topic -
Motorola for the second time has released a new phone that was GSM only first and then re-release with a few updated and adds an LTE radio.
The 2nd gen LTE Moto G was too expensive for a terrible camera. My Radiant has a bad enough camera but I used it for work anyway and still got decent pictures.
I opted to fix my Optimus G which I dropped on the screen side and it shattered = $155; as I was having space issues despite installing Link2SD on my Radiant.
This was back in May, I couldn't afford to wait for Motorola to announce an updated 3rd gen Moto G with the LTE radio.
Now I am dealing with a screen that has a mind of it's own. I can no longer make or take calls as the screen goes dark completely and I have no access to the dial or other phone controls. I used to get around this by connecting it to my BT headphones but that stopped working. The only way it works with the screen on now is -
1) Connected to the BT in my Panasonic Link2Cell cordless
2) My Car's BT (factory)
That's just the tip of the problems I have now. Otherwise the phone works fine.
I will keep it around for it's camera and video capabilities.
Now the decision is -
1) Moto G for $180 but it's skimpy on RAM and internal memory
2) Moto G for $219 but it's hardly better than the Asus Zenphone 2
I am leaning towards the Zenphone 2 actually because it seems to work well in low light. As I said I use my phone for work and while store lights are overall fine, the light isn't bright like a sunshine or controlled lighting under more ideal conditions.
Actually I should get a phone with optical stabilization since I don't have the calmest hands in the world and it sometimes takes two or three shots for get a sharp picture.
The One Plus Two has that, but not the Moto X? Hmmm... Not sure I want to shell out $400 for a phone though, I have other pressing priorities.

the MOTO is one thing I'd like to try.. Never own one and based on several reviews, they're looking good. I'm leaning for the cheaper one. I think it's aint a bad idea after all

I just came from Moto G 2014. Was using Titan Prime Rom + Greenify donation + Custom kernel + Xposed + Amplify + Tasker. The phone sucked on stock but I made it a beast for the last few months. However, I couldn't resist the camera, battery and ram upgrade and traded in my 2014 and got the G 2015 and I have used it only for a day but I can tell without a doubt, I find it smoother than my G 2014 (the tweaked one). Everything runs the way it is supposed to and I've about 40 odd apps installed and it still runs without any lag or jitters and the battery life is good. Been using it from noon today (it is 10.45p.m. here), battery is down to 56% and 3 hours 10 mins of SOT and out of this 1.5hrs I downloaded 40 apps on a very slow WiFi. So yeah, very happy with the phone as of now.

No NFC in 2015...

If you are not willing to shell out $500 (or more) for a phone, then you shouldn't expect to get a great camera with OIS. At least not now. In a few months the S6 will come down in price.

Not denying that, I just didn't want a worse camera than my current phone.
It won't come down that much, an LG G3 is now $399 unlocked (AT&T) and the G2 is about $280.

Would you buy a new Moto X now?

Hi,
I've an offer for a new Moto X (black, 16 GB memory) for a stipulated price about 180€ (200$). What do you think about the device today? Does it make sense to buy the Moto X for this price today? I like really the size of the phone and can't find another one with good hardware specifications on the market as the Moto X has. Can you told me something about the performance with Lollipop, the camera and the battery life? Will the Moto X get the new Android M, too?
I'm looking forward to your replies.
Cheers!

my opinion is $200 is a little high, you did not mention what model, i bought a new xt1053 developers edition 32gb on ebay about 6 or 8 months ago for $199 ant its retail gsm unlocked with the ability to unlock the bootloader, we have 4 xt1058 att's here and all updated to lollipop and so far the only issues with one device is some lost contacts after the ota, not to much of a deference in battery life, there is a noticeable difference in performance due to running on art (i would say), amazon has the gsm unlocked which im sure is the xt1058 black for $115 and white for $118, just put this (Motorola Moto X - 16GB, Unlocked Phone) in amazon search bar

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to say that I'm from Germany and only the XT1052 is available here. Of course the device is unlocked. The actually price is about 240€ and more (amazon, ebay and so one) here in Germany. So I think that my 180€ offer should be a good deal.

I just think that the price might be okay Would you buy the device one again for this price? Or would you prefer another one?! Maybe the Moto G 3rd Gen. The price for this one is about 230€*for the 16GB model with 2 GB RAM (without MotoMaker).

Hi.
Well I've just bought one. I picked up a very good condition one off eBay this week for £87. I got it yesterday. I have to say I'm impressed with the build and form factor.
I was using a Nexus S for about 3 years and decided that it was time for an upgrade, event though I loved that phone to bits.
I wanted to spend max £100 and buy something I could flash a ROM on, so I went for a Samsung S3. It's a nice phone but just hate the home button with a vengeance and the capacitive buttons. They make the phone way too big. I guess I just hate big phone. They just don't do anything for me. It's also too slippy with its all plastic design.
So I decided I needed a smaller phone with no hardware buttons and the Moto X seemed like the perfect fit. After two days using it I have to say it's a lovely device. Build quality is top notch and the size is just perfect for one handed use. And because it's pretty much stock Android and not Touchwiz I'm not in the mood to flash a ROM at all. I'm more than happy with the software at the moment. I can always flash a ROM at a later date.
So yes go for it!

I would buy it, its the most powerfull and feature packed phone in this price and screen size range.
For me, the only alternative is the Samsung Galaxy Alpha.
The only thing you have to make shure is, if 16 GB storage is enough for your needs.
greetings

Let me tell you the story of Moto X 2nd Gen here in India. It's available for INR 30000 which is about 460 USD. And if you get your screen broken (which magically is turning into a very frequent phenomenon) your costs from the Moto Service Centre comes around INR 20000 which is 311 USD approx. So yeah , no one's gonna buy it in their right mind. Specs and improvements don't mean anything if the post sale services are that much of a pain.
Holding the whole Galaxy in my hand.

brother every phone has its merits and demerits, but what we want is important, like u i couldn't find a piece with this specs and the size like moto x, so think about it:good:

I probably would. I got the moto x gen 1 when it came out an I'm still struggling to find any alternative. Everything else is too big. Also I don't really feel like I need an upgrade because I'm satisfied with everything. Performance isn't the fastest but its perfectly find and doesn't lag. The form factor is the best thing. The only alternative I have found is sony z3c but I will only get that if something happens to this. Since its more expensive and it has a glass back which could break. I was really hoping 2015 moto x would have a smaller option but sadly they just went bigger

I got my xt1092 16gb for $480 australian from eBay. But a bit disappointed on design as not very flexible, eg: no SD card slot and too little memory not sure why its this way but anyhow Motorola phones are no longer developed by Motorola engineers but LeNovo engineers... So I don't know is that means as much to you as much as it means for me.
I had a lot of fun with my Razor previously but as it seems, there is no Cyanogen alternative for us on Moto X vitara...
I can sell you mine if you want its in perfect condition for 100€ .

I read bunch of articles stating that although Lenovo owns Motorola, it doesn't interfere with the design and engineering aspects of manufacturing the Moto devices. Theyre probably just concerned with their bottom line. I purchased my Moto X just a month ago for about 120$ new 16gigs, I was hesitant at first considering the old specs compared to what is out there but I couldn't resist the design, size and the 2years of developments to still make it run superbly.

Amazing phone man and I have owned them all. So impressed by the speed and how fluent it is, but if I was buying one again, I would make sure it's on kit kat, so I could flash a lollipop version that didn't have the bootloader updated because lots of people with issues on lollipop.

I have no idea why you should pay twice more for Chinese quality). Buy US models, which working well in EU for $100 and be happy like me Nothing compares to the phone yet

I'll be waiting for the new Moto X Pure Edition.
I have been told by Motorola support that it WILL be bootloader unlocked for Verizon.

Seems like there is no other good option Although I was playing with a samsung galaxy s6 the other day, both edge and regular.. they're actually not that bad! solid build quality and not thaat much bigger than our moto x. Just a little bigger but still not as wide as 2014 moto x or other phones. I might consider it but its soo expensive..

I have a Note 4 and would have got the Note 5 if had an sd slot, but it apparently does not. The front facing speakers, sd slot and 64GB internal storage for $500 to $550 for a Moto X Pure seems too good to pass up
The only concern but a biggy is battery life. I will buy from Best Buy and then return it if battery life is an issue. Heck, even if the Note 5 had an sd slot I would consider the Moto X Pure due to price and features

I'm getting the style also but with an SD slot, 16gb is all I need. I only use around 4gb for apps now. If battery is your thing, get the moto x with a 3600 mah battery, and 5.5 1080p. They should of made the 3600 mah standard for both.
