Droid RAZR MAXX

Just wanted to know what you guys think about the phone. I have my bionic but man the RAZR MAXX is pretty awesome to me for the battery life. Im thinking of getting that over the nexus. What do you guys think?

I do like it but its not enough of an upgrade. I'll wait until Motorola puts out something with a slightly larger HD screen, no buttons and ICS.

I would like to own the razr maxx. I think it has Li-Po battery right? Like the IPhones

Plus an over 3000 mAh battery.

I like it, but not enough to get it over the Galaxy Nexus. A locked bootloader is a locked bootloader and blur sucks. It also does not even have ICS, so don't hold your breath.

I just unloaded my nexus and am back to the bionic...with a rooted 901 it's not a bad phone. But that maxx would be killer for someone who doesn't like to worry about finding a charger. But as stated it really is more of a side step I think.

im sure it will get ics though. when it gets that ill compare it to the nexus

A better battery is always a plus, but I don't have many issues with my battery on the Bionic due to the fact that I charge it throughout the day (at my PC, in the car, before I sleep) and I use JuiceDefender.
I'm not sure how much better battery the MAXX has over the Bionic, but that definitely doesn't feel like much of an upgrade to me, either.

For 12 bucks I can buy a 3rd battery for my Bionic. Other then the lack of updates and rims for my bionic I love it. Oh yeah I can replace my battery the main reason I don't want an i phone from the get go. The bionic is still a beast.

the only good thing about the Maxx (aside from battery) is that itll make the original Droid Razr's price go down. I went to verizon and played with the galaxy nexus. While I love that its a Nexus device, the performance was identical to my rom'ed bionic so I might consider grabbing the Razr if the price is right

Not another one of these posts. Didn't we all go through this when the Razr was about to come out? Is this going to be a regular thing every time a new phone is announced?

[Q] Atrix HD or Razr HD

Yesterday I lost my AHD I am going to buy one for 240$ unlocked mint condition (in Montreal), but I can have a razr hd for 280$ locked. What is the best choice. I am hesitate because the camera of the AHD is not very good and I love taking good picture.

By unlock if you mean bootloader...
get the atrix hd.
If you mean carrier unlocked...
get the razr.
Honestly the razr has a nicer design, it has a bigger screen and a nice feel to the back which is entirely Kevlar. They both have good carrier options, cpu's etc. but razr has cm10.1, which we should be getting soon. Either way theyre both a good purchase.

carrier unlocked * but don't know if it's the bell version. How can I know it before buying

I vote the Razr, since you are buying it in Canada it will be the XT925 version which means unlockable bootloader. The Razr has a bit better internals and a nice sized screen. The only reason I would go for the Atrix is the Battery mod, there is no way to "maxify" the Razr HD.

Don't they make actual kits go battery mod the razr?

Need Buying Advice on The Atrix Hd

Hello all;
i am about to buy a phone for myself and the atrix and the htc one s are my two options if the moto 'x' is not affordable by me. i wanted to know if the phone is any good. if i ask the question on any other thread some guy who has never used the device will answer the question. comming form the htc thunderbolt and a life-time of misery i wanted to also know if there are any serious problems with the device.

The only drawback I've had is night time photos. But I don't generally use my phone as a camera so yeah fine lol.

so no dying suddenly or random call/wifi drops nothing of that sort ? i came form the htc tbolt and faced those problems and am quite cautious to buy htc again so this just seemed a better option.
as for photos i do not use my phone camera all that much for taking photos
one more thing does this have official cm support

We don't have a official cm yet but we're close. We have a good amount of rom choices though. And the battery stock isn't the greatest, not the worst either. But I did the razr maxx battery swap and now it lasts through my 17 hour day every day.

Same way ya swap on an iPhone, unscrew the case apart and put the new one in.
The only problem with Moto Phones is the lack of updates to them, though that's usually the fault of the carriers, not Moto. That's where the scene comes to the rescue and provides us with more roms than we care to use.
Looking at the rumored specs, the X is nothing more than an updated RAZR\Atrix HD. Everything is the same, except no sd card (I really hope that isn't the case), a gig more ram, slightly better cameras, slightly faster cpu, much better gpu, same screen size, same resolution, same motherboard (msm8960). I also think we'll be running the X's 4.3 within a week or two, a month tops, of its release, they're that similar.
Whichever phone you get, you'll be happy.
Most of us here are gonna be getting an X by years end and will repurpose the Atrix as a glorified mp3 player, wireless nic adapter, portable streaming media center (VuDu, NetFlix, Hulu, Prime), etc.

is this correct? the device is now officially cm 10.2 supported

You can buy a razr maxx battery and with a little light surgery, you can install it into the atrix HD. YouTube has a couple of videos that'll show you how to do it.

According to Droid Life, Motorola's KitKat-compatible phones include all versions of the Moto X, as well as new Droid phones like the Droid Ultra, the Droid Maxx, and the Droid Mini. Meanwhile, notable omissions include the Razr HD and the Razr Maxx HD.

Motorola (even in spite of being under Google's control now) will pull the same crap they did with the Atrix 4G and Photon: they'll keep saying "future plans" or "coming soon" or "we'll let you know" and then they'll just drop a bomb as they already did and say "if you want KitKat, go buy a candy bar or a new phone..."
Sad but more than likely true.
It really pisses me off since Google is pushing KitKat with marketing-speak that professes it runs great on non-top-tier hardware with as little as 512MB of RAM and a dual core processor, and yet with a device like the Atrix HD which covers that (dual core 1.5 GHz + 1GB of RAM) they'll just say "It's not gonna happen so get over it." I know in the long run it would be AT&T's decision whether to do it or not, but it's safe to say that no, we'll never see an official 4.4 update for the Atrix HD. Hell, I probably won't get one for my LG Optimus G either, which truly sucks.
/me hates it when companies do crap like that...

AT&T doesn't even factor into us getting stock better than 4.1.. We have more carriers than just AT&T, not many, but we do -- Atrix HD already has 4.1.2 stock, where AT&T Atrix HD is only 4.1.1. Also, rumor has it that AHD Bell is running 4.2....almost makes me want to flash Bell JB just to run a system update on it....almost. If someone does flash B 4.1.2 and gets an update, don't install it, notify us so it can be ripped and made into a rom first. Don't want to accidentally f**k yourself out of an unlocked bootloader.
Remember that as long as ANY device of the razr-msm8960 family gets better than 4.1, then all the other devices essentially get it.

I know I'm saying att personally sucks at updates as your post just confirmed lol.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

To be fair to AT&T, Motorola is/was just as bad. Look at the Bravo, Defy, Defy+, Milestone 2, and a few other similar phones, between the 4 the biggest differences are 3 different camera modules, a hardware keyboard, the below screen button layout, and maybe some slightly different sensors....Moto released the Defy+, which is the exact same as the Defy only clocked to 1ghz and had the red lens camera module (OG Defies had 5mp cameras, but some had a red lens module and the other green, Milestone had red 5mp, Bravo green 3mp).
Now on the custom scene, Bravo and Defy use the exact same sources other than camera and, I think, some proprietary lib differences. Milestone is the same other than the hardware keyboard additions, and maybe some more...been a while since I've messed with that platform.
Bravo latest is stock froyo 2.2.1 (there is a 2.2.2 model around)
Defy is froyo 2.2.2 (there is a leaked 2.3.4 GB)
Defy+ is GB 2.3.6
MS2 is GB 2.3.6
All these phones could have easily been updated by Motorola, but its easier to not update them and make us get new phones.
Stock Bravo is the worst stock experience ever, and my first Android. Four hours in and I was rooted and on a custom rom, BravoX.
They all run CM10.2 thanks to Quarx and many other talented devs.
What's funny is I bet ya that more than half of XDA's members are here because of the Manufacturer/Carrier release fiasco that always happens. If they didn't want us messing with our phones then they should give us something that doesn't completely suck, like our Stock ICS...Other than TB, governor type crap, etc I could use that without root any day of the week and be happy with it.
