Razr M vs Rezound - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I currently have a rezound that I've had replaced several times. Earlier today vzw permitted the switch to either an incredible 4G, or a razr M, and I'm not sure if I should stick with my rez. Any opinions? Can I use wireless tether for root on the razr m as well?

I came from a rez myself.
Pros for the Rez:
Sound quality
Screen resolution
Development
Pros for RAZR m:
Battery life
Battery life
Battery life
Actually I really like both phones. The M feels so much more compact, its hard to believe they have the same screen size.
It comes down to what you really want out of a phone. They are both nice phones.
Once your M is rooted you can enable the entitlement mod and use vzws built in tether.

How's performance?

I came from a Rezound as well. With the extended battery, battery life was okay, but it wanted something not so huge. The M is the same size screen in a lot smaller package. The screen on the Rezound is obviously better, but I don't miss it. I was a flashholic, so I wasn't sure I'd like the M. Moto did such a good job keeping things close to vanilla that after a few tweaks (biggest being hiding the navigation buttons on the bottom), I'm perfectly happy with the stock ROM. That's never happened!

Getting rid of my droidx for a dinc.

Hello, I have a droidx and am finally tired of the locked bootloader. I was thinking of getting the dinc but wanted to get some peoples input first about the dinc.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
This is the best phone I've ever had and it's super easy to root. My only issue after having it for almost a year is the screen has started feeling to small to me. I wish it had a 4 inch screen. Other than that and the terrible battery life with the stock battery it is an amazing phone.
Here's a thread with a rather similar topic with some very good points made in it:

Thanx guys, after reading the stuff from the link I think im gonna get the dinc for now until I qualify for an upgrade : )

I was debating between Inc, DX and Fascinate when it came time to upgrade for me... I'm soooooo glad I went with the incredible. I knew it would be a gamble with the DX and its locked bootloader and the fascinate was still a new entity at this point and I wasn't sure if the homebrew scene would explode like it had for the evo/incredible. In the end my reservations proved correct; the droid x never got fully unlocked and the fascinate scene never took off.
Make the switch. You'll love the vast selection of roms and kernels and what-have-yous. As mentioned battery life is behind other devices, which is why I highly recommend the 1500mah Evo battery (fits in our case just barely) as well as the 2150mah incredible battery (comes with a bigger backplate, adds bulk but is widely accepted as worth it). Both are OEM, not third party. I have both and alternate between the two, charging the one I'm not using on a seidio external battery charger (the inc also has some charging issues, this circumvents that). I'm unsure if the latest kernels have solved the charging issues, but it is highly possible.

The Dinc is awesome. Highly recommend it.
i just made the same switch. i had a few great roms on the Droid X including Liberty, but i hated the random reboots and freezes that plagued me even with the stock rom. i think the droid incredible is one of the best androids out there. i've got a Sense 2.0 rom, with a white battery cover and a 1500 mah battery. great combo. good luck!
My dad actually has a droid x, while I have the incredible. I was trying to help him with getting a custom kernel but found there are none at all for the droid x, and only 2-3 ROM's. Pretty big letdown considering the incredible currently has about 10 different kernels and over 40 or so ROM's.
The new kernel and ROM's gotten from here has hugely helped in terms of performance and battery life, so although droid x is rated to have a battery that lasts longer, my incredible passes up my dad's phone by hours- even with more use out of it. Motorolla Blur is a big slowdown on his phone too, still trying to help him out with getting the bloat off his phone- but the community is considerably smaller than the incredible's.
thanx for all the replies guys I'm deffinately going to switch asap so hopefully I can find one for cheap bc I don't qualify for an upgrade yet : /

I just made the switch, and am very happy. Although check out both the AMOLED screen and the SLCD. I couldn't use the AMOLED because of the pen-tile matrix that made it look horrible coming from the X which had a great screen.
You might want to try no find someone on craigslist who wanted to trade. Thats what I did, and it worked out great.
LOVE IT!

I disagree, yu don't notice the screen size and the battery life is NOT bad at all if you know how to use the phone this is not good advice IMHO.

I have the dinc as my work phone and I have to say I love it. super fast, easy to carry and fun to use. the other phone I have is an EVO and it has it's pros too i tend to favor the Incredible. just my 2 cents
I'm considering the Thunderbolt.. which is the same size screen as the X.. is it too big? I hate the X it seems too big I'm afraid I'll feel the same about the TBolt

I wish I had the choice between AMOLED and SLCD when I got mine. I feel that for my uses the SLCD is superior, but I've learned to appreciate what the AMOLED has to offer. For instance, the biggest flaw of the AMOLED (pentile) can also be a boon of sorts. Because of it's interlacing effect, old school roms like SNES games look far better on AMOLED screens due to their similarities with old tube televisions which hid much of the jagginess/low resolution artifacts. So amoled screens generally make older games look great since they blur the edges and hide the low res imperfections, just like our 1992 CRT televisions did. And that's not even mentioning the vibrant color reproduction enhancing the image further.
However, Samsung solved the AMOLED issue. They just revealed their new pixel arrangement for new SAMOLED screens which has the crystal clear effect of an LCD screen along with the vibrant colors we're used to. Still, I feel glad I own one of these legacy AMOLEDs for the reasons stated above.
The general rule of thumb (IMO) is if you do lots of web surfing/text reading, SLCD is superior. Current gen amoleds only excel in the games/media department.

I also did not get the X because of it being rather large. The incredible was more compact and that was initially why I went with it.
You may want to think again before getting the T-Bolt:
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-thu...ored-to-be-due-to-poor-battery-life-20110228/
If it's going to get worse battery life than the incredible, there's no way I would ever consider buying it.
i exchanged my DInc for an X thinking it would be better. wrong. 3 days later i was back on my Dinc. best phone i have ever had. the X was just too awkward for me to hold.
1800mah batt, white batery door, root and whatever ROM i feel like today= 1 very satisfied DInc owner.

My opinion, but the DInc blows the DX away as far as screen quality. Small pixels / white on black text caused the display to flicker the words. It was incredibly annoying.
I totally agree, Love my Dinc but the battery sucks. Easy to Root.
I bought my wife the X and I am not very impressed with it.
You might wait a few weeks and get the new Thunderbolt.
So this is my plan, im going to get a dinc for now unil I qualify for an upgrade in a year. Once I get the upgrade ill upgrade to something more spectacular at that point if I choose

Disappointed With Razr HD

Well my friend yesterday received his razr Hd and I was really excited to see what that device has to offer.
I went to my friend's house, used it and then found out that it is the same product as Atrix Hd except that this phone just has a bigger battery and nothing else.
It was a let off for me, I compared it to my razr I and believe me Razr I smoked this phone .
If you don't believe me then walk into a store and compare it head to head against the razr I
well, neither of those are on Verizon, so its a mute point for 95% of this board
I honestly dont believe you. Ive messed with the original razr and this phone beats it in every aspect. Way faster in my opinion and better battery life. I really dont have a single complaint with this phone and im a pretty heavy user.

What an absolute ridiculous fail of a post.
The RAZR HD has the following advantages over the Atrix HD:
Larger screen
Amoled screen
Bigger battery
NFC
Aluminum unibody frame
Kevlar back
Better camera
Same phone right? Also your comparison of the ancient cpu in the original razr vs the s4 in the new razr is almost equally as laughable. Please don't post in this thread again until you actually own a razr Hd. And even then I don't know...
He was talking about the RAZR I not the original RAZR. The RAZR I is an Intel Medfield GSM version of the RAZR M. Not available in the US I don't think.
Not sure why they (XDA) insist on combining forums for different (CDMA/GSM) versions of phones but that's why we have confusion like this...

Amen, I have used the sh!t out of this phone already and it's a beast. Hasn't failed me yet in what I'd consider extremely heavy use (so heavy I have used up near 70GB of data this month doing many different things putting it to what I would consider for me the ultimate test... streaming, downloading, wireless tethering, gaming, apps, music, movies - praise the lord for unlimited data). Not to mention the build, battery life, call quality, volumes, usb flash drive hookup, HDMI cable hook up, and radios giving excellent 4G signal coverage.
People who trash this phone either 1) don't know what they're talking about, or 2) just aren't a fan of it from the start and go into it with a biased opinion.
LoL What?!
The "I" is essentially a RAZR M with the ARM processor swapped for an intel atom. Intel still has a long ways to go to run as efficiently as the arm architecture.
That being said: Smaller battery, smaller screen, lower rez and PPI, less memory, many apps not compatible from google play. How in any way, shape, or form can you say the I "smokes" the RAZR HD? Sounds more like jealousy that you can't get the HD or HD MAXX locally because noone in their right mind that knows absolutely anything about phones would ever compare these. You may as well be a iPhone fanatic saying it's far superior due to the "experience".

The RAZR i (which I own) has been shown to have better battery than the RAZR M by most reviewers. The Intel CPU is at least as fast though not quite as good for 3D gaming. I have yet to find an app that doesn't work, though I have only tried about 50 or so. Just to give you an idea, I regularly get 50 hours of battery life with 4 hours screen time. The form factor of the i is simply astonishing, it is so small for the size of screen, but I have not held an HD so cannot compare.
The screen on the HD is obviously going to be significantly better. I wonder if the camera is better too - not sure if it can be worse! I really want an HD, mainly for the screen, but giving up the i will be tough. Best phone I have personally used.
People y u no read everything clearly and properly?
I was comparing this Razr HD to My Razr I Not the old Razr .
And when u say it has this advantage and that advantage over the Atrix Hd, i know what u r trying to say, The razr Hd is better in terms of display, camera and battery but the performance of both these phones are same in terms of cpu and gpu.
On the other hand compare the razr Hd to the razr I , razr hd wins only display against the razr I, otherwise razr I is currently the fastest motorola.

The only place the atom processor shines is browser navigation. If you only opened a browser window and compared the two the atom will feel snappy. Also your coverage is going to make a difference.
The 2ghz means nothing as 1. That's the max speed and Intel won't say where the CPU usually sits. 2. Clock for clock arm CPUs are well ahead of x86 architecture.
The big drawback is compatibility. Many play store apps simply won't run on an atom processor. Devs are working on this but I'd bet they're focusing on HD versions of apps first to take advantage of the influx of HD tablets before the trickle of atom powered devices.
Personally i like Intel but in the mobile arena it's been a sputtering start. I like the form of the M and I but the screens are just too ancient tech.

[Q] razr m or atrix hd ???

the title is clear .
i want buy new phone from motorola .
which one is beter for me ?
atrix hd or razr m or even razr i
my important is :
battery life - screen - camera -
thx so much for your answer
By "screen", you mean the bigger the better, or manageable and pocketable with good pixel density?
If it's the first, definitely RAZR HD: big screen, big battery (especially the maxx).
If the second, then RAZR M: just the right size so it can be used with one hand, without giant hands, and it fits must pockets.
Not sure about the camera, they're decent, but if that's your top priority you should be looking elsewhere I guess...

Battery wise, RAZR M all day. If you want a pretty screen, Atrix HD, at the expense of some battery life.
Judging by your priorities, go for the M.

Oops, I have NO CLUE why I misread RAZR HD instead of Atrix HD... But yeah, same considerations for screen and camera, but battery on RAZR M is actually better than Atrix HD.
So, yeah, as skippid said, unless you really need the bigger screen and higher resolution, go for the RAZR M. Or save up and get the RAZR HD
Sent from my XT907
I don't have the atrix but what I can say is that the razr m has a monster batterylife! its so nice a have a big battery and not having to charge the phone every night. i have to charge it every 2+ days. compared to other phone, that is just awesome!

Droid razr HD vs Droid DNA

I currently have a rooted verizon galaxy nexus lte and i am eledgible for an upgrade and have narrowed my choices down to the razr hd and dna so id like to know some pro about the Droid RAZR HD and how is the verizon signal because the nexus can barely hold on to a 4G signal so can this phone hold on to Verizo 4G signal well?
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus using xda premium over 4G LTE (where it will hold on to a 4G signal)
I just recently went from the galaxy nexus to the RAZR maxx HD and wow night and day difference between signal reliability. I've never even seen the 3g signal icon on my phone until I was messing with it and put it in CDMA only mode. And because the maxx version has a massive battery I can go 2.5-3 days on a single charge with 5-6 hours of on screen time.
Best phone I've purchased so far as signal strength and battery life goes.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeaup..definitely go for a RAZR HD,if you want strong battery,strong signal,stronger quality and at the same time have the same look and feel of stock android since your coming from a nexus then definently go for a RAZR HD. Nothing the droid DNA has that can out shine the RAZR HD besides a quadcore and 1080p resolution which you can barely even tell the difference from a dualcore and 720p resolution
Glad to see this thread, because I"m in the same boat...but I've never had any trouble "holding on to an LTE signal" on my GNex. The battery in the MAXX HD makes me giddy like a schoolgirl. 1080p on the DNA is hot, though.
I had the DNA for almost two weeks before i returned it for the Razr MAxx HD.
why did i return it? the DNA battery was crap, would barely last a work day. the screen looked nice, but the phone itself was slightly uncomfortably large. lots of incompatible apps/games due to new resolution (this will all be fixed eventually).
i love the maxx hd because of the battery life. i regularly get 2.5-3 days before i have to charge.

Razr Hd or Razr Maxx HD.
I had a regular Razr Maxx but traded for a Razr HD. IMHO the Razr HD is better than the OG Razr Maxx.
I Had the DNA as my upgrade, I was torn between Razr HD and DNA
I chose the DNA because it was more "future proof" with a 1080p display and quad core
well I only owned it 2 days, because the battery didnt last very well for me and also the gorilla glass has tons of little scratches on it (im VERY careful with my phones...so I decided to get Razr HD and pay the $35 restocking fee.
now I will say it takes about 2 days for your battery to be "trained" so until that 2 days or so of charging cycles, the battery isnt the best, but after your battery is "trained" it can easily last 14 hours with decent use
but performance wise, the DNA wins hands down.
all im going to say about that is the quad core coupled with the 2GB of ram is amazing
and HTC sense (not my fav either) isnt laggy or slow with it, its pretty much project butter at its best
and I have noticed with the Razr HD some lag in the app drawer, but besides that its a great device.
Now my final answer is this:
google owns motorola, so I would think this phone will get android 4.2 and maybe the next version or 2 of android
the DNA is an HTC phone, and as much as I loved HTC...I am a owner of the T-bolt and I can say updates are almost non-existant so only expect to get android 4.2 by end of 2013
TO SUM IT UP
Droid DNA if your a performance person, and near a charger all the time
Droid RAZR HD if you want a "stock-nexus" feel with UI and pretty good battery life and hopefully updates for the next 2 years
Yeah go with the Razr its the bomb. I have yet to see 3g also.
If you want to make phone calls in places you never dreamed possible and have reliable data connections then go with the RAZR HD. The signal strength and quality is quite literally unparalleled. Its a phone first and then a (damn good!) Smartphone second. I forgot how much I appreciated that since most other smartphones suck at being phones.
I have owned and used both phones., coming from a Droid RAZR
The benefits of the Droid DNA are the high revolution 1080p screen, and quad core processor. However, the battery life was unacceptably short (would not last a full work day with several hours of use). The device is also uncomfortably large in your pocket.
I ultimately purchased a Droid RAZR HD Maxx. The 720p screen and faster dual-core processor are still a very noticeable upgrade from my previous phone. The build quality of Motorola phones is great, and the battery life is untouchable (I can go 2 full days of heavy data, GPS, and video use on one battery charge).

If i could change anything, it would be the screen. the screen is so blah. its not bad just not HD and you can tell. everything else is pretty good.
Thanks for the response!!!
I would have to agree with antp, the specs of the phone are great, and I easily get two days of battery life out of it with moderate usage. The only real downside of the phone is the screen. It is running the same 4.3 inch screen as the original Razr, so the quality is good, but it could have been so much better.
The only other issue I have with the M is the lack of MHL output, but that is more of a person to person preference.
Does this phone have aokp? I can't seem to find it..

There doesn't seem to be a lot of ROM development around the M, probably as it is one of the less used phones on the market at the moment.

I work at a consumer electronics store that focus' on cell phone sales. I have a ton of time to pour over spec's, reviews, etc. All in the name of "work" . Anyways long story short, the Razr M on verizon is the phone i ended up choosing for my upgrade this time around and this is why:
-Low profile (I hate big ass phones... Note 2 I hate you.)
-Decent screen size
-Great battery life
-LTE support
-Sturdy build quality
-Quick processor (not a quadcore but thats why the battery is so good)
Also I spotted this article last week on cnet:
news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57568660-94/iphone-5-rated-5th-in-u.s-user-satisfaction/
Razr M scored second place in consumer satisfaction.
I honestly don't get why there isn't more development on this phone, its a great piece of hardware!

Here is a link explaining why development has been slow for the new Motorola qcomm devices(RAZR m, HD, HD Max). It deals with different software approaches then the old omap devices.

coming from a phone that needed a ton of work to be usable, this phone doesn't need very much. i only rooted and installed a mod so that I could use scrabble (otherwise, the app does not support our screen resolution). also, the Razr M Toolbox app on the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tranquilice.toolbox) is all that I need.
The only thing I would change is battery life

What you want worse? It is pretty spectacular compared to any of the other phones I have gone through. My galaxy s3 I have to put on the charger by about 2 in the afternoon. This one I got 36 hours out of.

agreed - this must be your first smartphone. this phone beats all others (including iPhone) - except the Maxx maybe. if a phone can last me from wake (6am) to sleep (11pm), then I'm happy. and this phone usually leaves me at least 30% in battery at bed time (and that's with some moderate-heavy usage).

Definitely not my first phone - I've had the OG Razr, The Razr Maxx, and then this. This beats the OG Razr by miles, but doesn't even come close to the Maxx for me. I've gone ridiculous amounts of time with the Maxx (40-60 hrs), with the M I get maybe 15-20 hrs medium/heavy usage.
Battery life
I brought this phone recently and used roughly for two days after installing useful apps . I get 10-15 hours of battery life after heavy usage. I am surprised by this My last phone was Samsung galaxy i9050 and used it for three years. It has ver poor battery life. After long thought and budget in mind I brought this phone and I am all happy for that. Important factor in deciding s the size factor. I belive that phone shouldn't be held and used by more than one hand (steve jobs philosophy of why he won't increase screen size) . Anyway I am loving this phone and I am planning to install BDH ROM which claims to improve battery life at least by a minute margin
Just upgraded
Hello all I have just upgrated to the RAZR M and agree with "theycallmekenny" I am loving it. I had a Droid 3 and it died so I had to resurrect a LG Ally and learned a lot about rooting and other great things. When it was time to renew my contract I was totaly thrilled about getting the RAZR. I look forward to learning some great tips and tricks from you.
