[Q] Razr i OR Razr MAXX? - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, can you help me with this? I am about to buy a new phone and get stuck on this two Motorola. The MAXX wins me with the HDMI option, but the Dual Core 1.2 GHZ have the same velocity the Razr i have with Single Core 2.0? And about gaming, stuff, they're about the same?
The price is almost the same, so each one would be very good for me.
I see some lack of Custom ROMs, there's some news coming from each of then? I hope the developers from around the world starts to make some crazy stuff for those models.
Anyway, Razr i or Razr MAXX? Thanks, and sorry for the bad english :victory:

AW: [Q] Razr i OR Razr MAXX?
If you're interested in Custom Roms > Get the MaxX :thumbup:
As usual Device the i is great, but for addicted Crackflashers it's just boring :sly:

I have chosen the Razr i ; no regrets at all, great phone - but no hands - on comparison neither. I would again for the Razr i.

Lg optimus 2x still worth to buy in 2012?

Hey guys, I'm planning to sell my xperia mini pro to buy lg optimus 2x. I think optimus 2x is a perfect phone for me.
It has dual core, nvidia chipset tegra 2 I think which is good for gaming, 8mp, hdmi which is real important for me, big screen 4 inch.
I have no problems on my current phone xperia mini pro, been using it almost a year. Its just that a small screen phone is just not for me. And gaming sometimes can be really lags on it especially newer high end games because it only has single core processor. To overlock it and to install a custom rom and kernel is not easy on the xmp you need to unlock bootloader and that ****. But it is rooted.
I choose lg optimus 2x for my next phone. I used to own lg optimus one before i sell it to buy xmp. I love to install custom roms and kernel it because it is easy unlike sony ericsson you need to unlock bootloader. Is it easy to install a custom kernel and roms just as easy as my old optimus one?
To all 2x users, what you don't like and what is your problem about the phone? Thank you

For me it's a very good phone, but lg's software is not very good, infact i'm using temasek's CM7.. And we not have ICS yet.. Another thing is battery life, if you use it intensively and with 3g connection, you are fortunate if arrive at the end of day :laugh:
Hope i have helped you.. if yes press the thanks button xD :victory:
I had bought the optimus 2x in end of December2011. ICS was promised by q2 but we hav not yet got it & the most imp is that d drivers r missing.
Hardware wise its a beast but lack of drivers makes optimus behind as per the current market. Wait till we receive an official ICS from LG.
If u r buying a new 2x dont go for it unless u r getting it cheap or wait till we hav official ics..

It's a pretty good phone still. Zippy, and doesn't really lag on cm7.
I would still buy it if I would get it for reasonable price. I bought mine as used in the November 2011. I paid 200€ for it and it was like a new because it had screen changed recently. (Now I've got few small scratches on it. But thankfully you need to look with light to find them. :crying
I'll think that I made a good choise because by that time used SGS2 phones prices started from 350€+ and the O2X isn't really that different. Only not so good thing is Nvidia... But the 2D HW acceleration and non functional video recording isn't that dramatical. But always remember that we will get the ICS sooner or later and our devs will cook JB for us after that
BTW: One month ago we got the O2X at sale for 150€ at our local carriers shop. And that price was without simlock and plan.
Currently I can't find other phone with that good price/HW ratio. The most comparable phone in the category as new is the HUAWEI U8860 but even that costs 250€
It isn't still worth to buy in middle 2012, it is worth to buy for the first time since this phone came out.
There are many good ROMs and kernels available now and ICS will be there in a matter of days or weeks.
So yes, buy it
No, don't buy it. You'd buy a pig in a poke, not knowing whether and when LG will realease ICS. Better invest in a Nexus or some good device of the Samsung Galaxy series (S2 or S3).
(I would only buy it for less than 100€)

Whether? LG has already officially confirmed that we get ICS in the nex time.
Additionally today they uploaded the first v30 ROM on their servers which will 99,9% be official ICS. For the korean version at least.

Nice :good:
Leaked kdz will come soon :angel:
No.
I got mine for a cheap price and Im VERY happy with it. Im currently using CM7.2 stable and the performance and battery are great. I find the 2X very pretty and it has a good camera too, plus it has FM radio wich I use a lot
I also have an Atrix 4G. IT has more ram (1GB) but in general I find the 2X runs smoth and faster
ICS is really taking a long time to get released but Im sure were getting it in the next month
If you find one for a good price I say go for it
Just dont buy it! i dont like this phone at all.. buggy and laggy.. i bought O2x this year and used it like 3 month and came back to my htc desire which is much better..

A) you haven't gotten it yet so don't count your chickens before they hatch
B) because LG's first attempt at Gingerbread was so awesome, we can automatically assume ICS will be equally awesome !

But the available ROMs meanwhile are awesome - even if ICS still would need months, there would be smooth and snappy Gingerbread ROMs - if one buys the phone NOW he'd already start with good ROMs, so why shouldn't he?
No, just no. Besides the obvious software problems, LG also cut a lot of corners in hardware. Yes, the IPS screen still looks good today, but 512MB RAM is just unforgivable. I also suspect LG used low grade flash memory which exacerbated the lagginess.
It depends on what price you're getting it for.
And if you're doing a lot of 3G network, then i'd suggest no cause there's a risk that the radio gets cranky.

The internal flash memory of O2X is of high quality. It is better than class 10 SD 2.0 - you can test this with any performance benchmark.
It was the world's first dual-core phone, the 512 MB Ram at the time of release really weren't that bad. And they still are enough for ICS, just try CM9. Useless LG apps will be removed anyway from custom stock ROMs and custom kernels will get Ramhack and virtual Ram enhancements so effectively useable RAM is far higher.
Maybe get a Galaxy s2?
I bought it 3 months ago at the price of 150 EUR. Currently I run CM9 Kang V30. Very smooth, play asphalt 6, reptide, golf 3, gun shadow ... with ease, I think ICS (at least CM9) even much faster than stock 2.3.4 v20, and definitely more beautiful. :laugh: Only I can not play or record video which I dont quite need. So all in all very good price vs performance. Never regret since.

For video playback - mx player with its codec. For recording - video cam illusion. I tested it on Paranoid Android ROM and it recorded smooth video with 640 resolution. So all in all Paranoid android at least has it all working. I came back to my MIUI based 2.3.7 rom though. Just addicted to its eyecandy.
As for is it worth it I'd say yes. But. Only if you find it in good condition and for around $200 or less.

performance wise it is, comparing SIII and hardware tests i tried with a stock mobile.
do not compare whatever hack a wanna be kernel hacker can get out of something for x number of minutes.
o4x got performance, sdhc card, battery replacement support , colour accurancy.
most powerful does not in my mind include an unlocked mobile, if you look at raw facts but for the rest it is still one step behind oneX, but thats xda style

bootloader and kernel tweaks is one of the reasons but even hardware wise, s3 can, even though by a small margin, outperform 4x hd and one x.

my one personal test and those random tests found on xda, shows s3 is a little slower generally when stock rom is used. i prefer to compare what i got and not what is impossible to achieve on o4x currently.

our device lags too..
in a test, if both devices had a fully optimized kernel
and a similar rom, say cm10,
i'm sure s3 would out perform o4x
in terms of benchmark, and most probably in terms of standard usage

Why stop there. I'd like to vote for the speed of light. And the weight of the moon. Speed of electrons in vacuum.
I don't think its the beat of the three, maybe beats the one x but not s3

did not take me long to get a benchmark of the old firmware on oneX very close up to S3 here
if we continue with stock performance, we have already seen 12000+ on o4x, which compared to this beats s3 in a benchmark test.
S3 is close to ours but still design,quality of o4x and its better colours (not worse btb using fake black turnoff led solution).
i would say you didnt go wrong on o4x if you compare the complete picture.
edit: remember, i would have the OneX here, if it was not for the €150 difference in Denmark initially, i was simply not gonna invest that much more in pretty much the same hardware. so its not a LG thing, i got. but we can probably compare those 2 down to the hardware, with exceptions to display,bt and touch.
Cleaned thread.

in design and quality....there is no way s3 could win 4X HD
4X HD just need some optimization to unlock its full potential....also im one happ 4X HD owner now
I choose the LG over the S3 more on looks, I like a brick phone, hate curves, I found the s3 nicer to use and screen more responsive, but I went for LG for hopefully ROMS that will cure the little software niggles

+1. I hated how my S3 felt so much more like a toy compared to my 4xHD. Build quality hands down goes to the 4XHD...even the HTC doesn't match up, especially with its screen glitches most were having problems with.

Would you still recommend Motorola Razr i?

Hi guys, sorry for opening a new topic.
The question is this: A year ago I had a Xperia Ray, wich was a good phone. I did the stupid move of trading it for a LG optimus black, and this ****ty phone didn't last for more than 4 months... Then, according to my posibilities, I got an ipod touch 4G and a small normal phone to stay in touch. Long history.
Now I have the chance of getting a new smartphone. First, I wanted the Motorola Razr D3 and I liked it but I see no development for it here in XDA, probably because this phone is mainly focused to the latin market. That phone has a very cheap price, and I see that it has a guaranteed Android upgrade, this makes me wonder if the phone is gonna be upgradable to 4.4 Kitkat or just to Android 4.2 or 4.3... Nobody seems to know it at the moment.
Then, I started to check the Motorola Razr i closely, and I saw a video of it when technically crushes the samsung galaxy s3 in performance and multi-tasking, then I saw there's development for it and that's a good thing. Now one important question: You guys honestly think Razr i will be upgraded to Android 4.4 KitKat?
There would be a big chance considering that Motorola is now part of Google.
In conclusion, I have only $385 US dollars available for getting my next phone. I don't have any phone service plan, I hate them, I always get my phones to work in prepaid mode. And I consider that spending more than $500 US dollars for a phone is not very intelligent (sorry about this if I offend somebody), plus, I'm not precisely rich to get the latest flagships.
This are my options at the moment:
-Motorola Razr i: intel inside, good performance, but I don't know if will be updated to Android 4.4. It's one year old. They also say camera has bad quality.
-Motorola Razr D3: dual core, but kinda old chipset and GPU, it comes with the promise of an Android update guaranteed (they don't specify wich version tough)
-Xperia L: I like Sony, and this one comes with dual core and Adreno GPU 305, but Sony fails hard when it's about upgrading their phones.
-Xperia M: Same case as L, plus the fact that it isn't available in my country yet.
-Any other option you would want to recommend me?
Now, why I'm opening this topic here? Because I like Motorola and I consider that this brand is synonymous of quality. I got Motorola phones years ago and they were very good. I really like Razr i and D3, they're small, compact, beautiful and give stock Android experience. Please guys, give your opinion and recommendations and anwer the main question.
Thanks in advance.
Yeh i recommend it, it's a nice phone and can get some updates, and it's a pretty smart, and have "low cost", if u can pay a bit more of course u can have some better phone with quad-core.
I find it a likeable phone, good for everything but it does not excel. Above all, reliable (after 9 months).
But it's currently updated to JB 4.1.1, and that's I think where it'll stay. (I kept it on the original 4.0.4 so I kept FM functionality and haven't noticed I've missed anything important). Moto are developing the Moto X (I think). The Razr is history, a bit of an in-betweener. So if a phone which gets the latest updates is important to you I wouldn't sadly touch the Razr i.
My other phone is an Xperia Z, bigger and better. But day to day I prefer the Razr i, and don't feel I'm missing out. But neither am I obsessed with the latest tweaks and mods. And because its processor is Intel, I think a bit of patience, intelligence, a willingness to learn and not to expect everything to be handed to you on a plate is in order; and it isn't a piece of electronic jewellery to impress your friends. But that's just like many good things in life.

I will give you some ideas regarding the razr i
Keep in mind that the z2480 processor from the Razr i is single core WITH hyperthreading.
Gaming is going to be limited mostly by the GPU on these "cheap" phones.
If the game is written with native ARM code there will be binary translation occurring on the fly on the Razr i / and some games are not compatible.
The phone lasts 2 days of typical use, or 1 day of really heavy use (For example 1 day with 7-8 hour screen time while indoors).
The camera benefits with software tweaks, and with decent/good lightning it can take very good photos. Take a look at these photos which were taken and lightly post-processed -- they are outdoor photos as you can see.

Thank you so much guys, you're helping me to take a decision.
Just for the facts: I'm a gamer but not a phone gamer, I don't use my phones to play very much, just games like Tetris, Angry Birds and maybe Asphalt, I rather to play in my console or PC.
Also, photography is not a big deal for me, but yeah, I want good quality in the pictures and videos I take.
If somebody else wants to contribute with more opinions and information please go ahead.

Certainly not.
I used to have a Moto Defy, with a huge developer/modding community around the globe.
I Miss it badly now, as moto does give a f* for us. The intel thing make the modding very hard, and and I don't think the benefit is worth it.
Seriously thinking in make the switch to the Moto X, which probably will have a bigger base for modding.
I would not recommend the RAZR i anymore .. I won't judge too hard on it, because it's still not rooted yet (since one year exactly) and i was and still am used to rooted android devices. With the RAZR i after a year, battery life decreased, i am in constant RAM problems as the 1gb are full with not that much apps, so for example, if i switch from whatsapp to the browser and back, it most likely killed whatsapp by then. That's annoying as hell, especially because my old Desire HD did a better job with AOSP/4.04. The worst part is that the RAZR i isn't updated and there's no development such as cyanogenmod for it. For me, this means a lot. My RAZR i is in repair right now because i got it with a broken audio jack and i'm using the much older galaxy S2 by a friend, broken display, sensors sometimes fail, but it runs so much better. Why? Because of the rom, HellyBean/4.2.2, it runs so much better despite it has less ram and should have the slower processor.
Ah, almost forgot, the VERY handy camera button (which i absolutely love and miss on the S2 i use right now) somehow seems broken too, maybe software, most of the time i have to press it twice before it launches the camera. It triggers well though, so i guess that's software too. It just doesn't run that fine as i wished it would.
I would still recommend it, but ONLY if you're fine with the possibility that this probably won't be getting Kitkat. It's a very capable phone, I use it mostly for news email and browsing and like Omar said it usually lasts two days (something not a lot of phones can brag about, sadly.) the battery life I'd say is one of this phone's best features. If you root it and run a custom rom the phone preforms beautifully too. Just be prepared to live with *some* compatibility issues with certain apps.
In my opinion, buy it. For the price I'm seeing it at these days which is about ~150 dollars, it's a crazy good deal. Just don't expect it to see any updates from Motorola any time soon.

I think it's still a great phone, i dont want a bigger phone and if you too don't want anything bigger than this then i think that still there is no better phone as all the other are bigger with the same screen size or bigger screen size.
There might be one that i would trade it for but it's still a rumor just, huawei d2 mini, 4.3 screen, quadcore, 2gb of ram...
As far as defects in this phone i would say:
- Low earpiece volume( i will try viper4android app for this )
-It´s heavier on the top so it would be more confortable to use if that was reversed
-If you updating any app the phone will lag a bit
-Original camera is not great, the pics are a bit without color
I dont play on the phone i say nothing about that
If you buy this phone try the infinirom v6, its great, it leaves a lot of free ram and the rom it's basically the original one so everything works great but with a lot more ram free
I still think razr I is a great phone (not the best) even with 1 year past

Razr i (XT890) vs Razr M (XT905)

Hi, I'm considering to switch my Atrix on something better.
But now I'm confused which one should I choose.
Razr I looks better in benchmarks, better battery usage and better availability but I'm afraid of compatibility with apps, mostly Gameloft games (Asphalt 7, 8 and Order and Chaos Online) and few other which making sense to use smartphone for me.
Other way Razr M have no problems with compatibility but it looks weaker in benchs comparing to Razr I and ARM processor draining more power.
LTE is not my priority so I skipped this for compare.
I read somewhere that Intel have 90% compatibility with Android apps but it was official info from Intel so I wouldn't trust them. Can You confirm this 90% compatibility??

I have had only 3 apps with compatibility problem fortunattely it has been solved till now. Even Xposed works now on x86 now.
I have asphalt 6, 7 and 8 and works soo good . Batman, spiderman, plants vs zombies 2, there is only 5% of the store that its incompatible with the phone

If you want plenty of custom roms, the Razr i is not a good choice.
I love that phone, but definately lacks some dev for it.
Rooting is ok, CWM as well, but there are only 3 roms for now.
On the other hand, battery is awesome and the device is enough performant to play and use it daily with no lag.

Hi, I'm considering to switch my Atrix on something better.
But now I'm confused which one should I choose.
Razr I looks better in benchmarks, better battery usage and better availability but I'm afraid of compatibility with apps, mostly Gameloft games (Asphalt 7, 8 and Order and Chaos Online) and few other which making sense to use smartphone for me.
Other way Razr M have no problems with compatibility but it looks weaker in benchs comparing to Razr I and ARM processor draining more power.
LTE is not my priority so I skipped this for compare.
I read somewhere that Intel have 90% compatibility with Android apps but it was official info from Intel so I wouldn't trust them. Can You confirm this 90% compatibility??

I have both of them and I can tell you that I prefer the RAZR I because battery lasts longer, benchmark is better and I guess almost every app on the play store runs smooth.

Differences between both Razr i and Razr M
I actually have both, and must decide which one I should keep and which I should sell.
Razr i has better battery life, camera button. But I have an issue with bluetooth audio, no matter which bluetooth headset I use and which audio app I use: with Razr i, there is no sound at all, the players continue playing music. There is not this problem with Razr M.
I´m on stock rom 4.1.2 on both.
If that would be solved, I would keep the Razr i, but if not, I would have to keep Razr M (which is great too) because I use bluetooth headsets every day.
Thank You all for replys. I think I choose XT890.
Thread can be closed. Last week I ordered used XT890. Really nice phone, at this moment I notices only 2 incompatible apps from my 140 regular installed apps but this 2 are not so important. Except this everything works like a charm.

[O]Lg 4x hd or old phone?

I bought lg 4x hd 9 months ago and i am very unhappy. It's kind of slow with custom roms and kernels and the battery is just horrible . I used to have sony ericsson xperia neo V . I was very happy with both performance and battery. I am not the person who plays a lot of games. I just play 2 games and i have 5 apps. I really need the battery life to be very extented! So should i use my old phone rather than this one?
I am sorry for you , but 4x hd is the best phone ever with custom rom and kernel. For example my friend want my 4x when he has G2.
I have 2 hours of gaming , it's normal , even HTC one has the same results...

Try Iodak kernel 10beta with the following changes:
With Trickster Mod set all tensions to -50mv and interactive governor, runnable, with boost factor 2, dynamic freq 0, max normal freq 1000000, max freq 1300 or 1400Mhz.
Also in developer options sets gpu for 2d.
With this configuration I have 3 hours of screen-on with normal use and do not play

Wow really? Biggest lie ever. "My friend wants 4x while he has a G2"
You can play 4 + hours of GTA 3 on G2 and it'll still have enough battery to end the day.Don't mislead people into buying this phone as people consider reading forums before buying one...
And nope HTC one does not have the same results... You have no idea what you're talking about.

LoL. You don't even know how people use their phones. Okay , i will explain. My friend has installed a lot of useless apps and he has enabled wifi + gps all the time. And after using LG's UI he made a decision.
About HTC one it's true. It has almost the same battery and without using custom kernel games drain battery very fast.

I'm not supposed to know how your friend uses his phone, not at all...
Having wifi on all the time is not a good decision to begin with.GPS doesn't effect battery life as long as google location is off.Just because of your friend being unable to use his phone in an effecient way, doesn't mean G2 is better than our phone.And honestly, even with wifi on 24/7 I'm pretty sure G2 would last longer, having used my friend's G2 for a day.
You shouldn't be comparing phones based on how your friend is using his phone.Saying "4x hd is the best phone ever with custom rom and kernel" and then showing a friend's comment, who is not capable of using an android phone, that's a bad example.
And seriously, I laughed while quoting "4x hd is the best phone ever with custom rom and kernel".Sounds funny, really :laugh:
No offense but, your friend must be the only living thing on the planet who prefers 4x hd to G2...
I wouldnt buy this phone anymore.

Yeah I know that 4x ain't the best thing for it's price , and yeah I said it in a wrong way ... I would say "for me" it's the best phone. Also OP asking what to use old phone or 4x when he compares phones like me with my 4x vs G2 (HTC one) comparison. So don't blame me so much...
If battery performance is the most important for you, get a Nokia 3310
Seriously, stick with your old phone, buy a bigger battery for 4X HD or buy another phone with better battery. Alternatively, you can try custom roms and kernels and lower CPU performance a bit to extend battery life.
