Based on feature set, availability and price my reasearch has led me to this phone with the RAZR as a second choice(pentile screen, waker battery, no FM). The RAZR has better development though(incl kexec). I'm hoping to run ICS as a daily driver in the very near future and JB/CM10 down the line. What do you think?
Price-wise it's the best phone you can get. I myself owned a HTC magic and then a nexus one and can confirm that the build quality is solid. Webtop is also a great feature.
Rom-wise we've stock/modded ICS and soon ported CM10. But don't expect to unlock the bootloader. If you can live with it, buy it

Keep in mind, this is one persons opinion, but personally, I love this phone. We have 2 ICS Leaks, and CM10 is right around the corner.
It's mainly your preference, but i'd say just to be sure you want this phone, read all that you can from this forum.

Cool. How does the Boot menu manager work for multiple Roms on one phone?

Bootmenu is great man. With it, you can essentially dual boot so to speak. Check the thread out, it tells you ALMOST everything you need to know. Something's you can read around the forums and find answers to. I've become pretty familiar with it, so if you have any specific questions feel free to ask me.
Also others are here to help too
By the way, just a heads up, this should be in Q&A

Heh Heh Heh......... That's my boy :victory:
Thread Move in progress.
Oh, BTW, threw a couple thanks to you 2 for great advice to the new people. Way to go!
If you can live with a locked bootloader I don't see why not, the specs are decent, screen size is pretty good and overall quality is nice. We have ICS (leak), a few custom roms, and CM10 is being worked on (I believe camera isn't working just yet). Mine is currently softbricked because I got into a bootloop and my battery is low , but that's easy to fix once I can charge the battery, which I'm being patient with and not doing anything risky and potentially harmful to the battery or phone. In conclusion, if the price is right, it's a pretty decent phone, with a locked bootloader (Always a catch)
Hmm. How about making a bounty or making a collection for a donor device to a dev? Just thinking out loud...
The only feature I'm missing that a custom kernel might solve is 2-way call recording. I think...

We have a bounty for someone who can unlock the bootloader. And yea custom kernels and all that jazz would require an unlocked bootloader.

You won't be disappointed. This is only the second phone I've owned in 16 years that I haven't wanted to destroy after a couple months of use.
Is the lack of support from Motorola annoying? Sure, but the amount of support from the developers and everyone in this community is all you will need. Whether you stay on Gingerbread or upgrade to the ICS leak, there are plenty of amazing ROMS and mods to play with.
Just make sure you read through the forums (especially the stickies) and familiarize yourself with phone and the community.

Thanks guys. At least ICS leaks point to official release in the works unlike my other Motos.
damn, i was just about to sell you mine :laugh:
This is a sweet phone why do you want to sell it?
Hi all !
Does anyone know why there still is no section for the RAZR HD ?
It's already been realized. At least here, in France.
Does it share common hardware with another phone ?
Thanks

I think xda is US based, do you probably won't see a dedicated forum for the Razr HD until it is released here.
It uses the Snapdragon S4 processor, so it is similar in that respect to many phones.

How's battery life? The old Razr has a 1780mah battery, while the new Razr HD you have has a 2530mah.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
i bought it here in Canada just today...
Fantastic battery life on LTE, i will know more tomorrow on a full day of use.
the build quality is incredible. I have had mainly Nexus devices with the odd HTC One X...nothing touches this in terms of build quality and overall solid feel.
ICS...its ICS. Having used JB on the GNexus the last several months its hard to take a step down to jittery old ICS. Like you wouldnt know it if you hadnt played with JB, but ICS lags!
The screen, out of the box, is great and doesnt require a lot of colour tweaks.
Aside from that, love it.
Hopefully this will get a root (its officially supported by Moto in its bootloader unlock program) and i can get CM10 or something on this ASAP
Any questions? I will try to answer them as best i can.
It might come thus Thursday 18th to Verizon
I'm keeping my fingers crossed

I have seen that ubuntu is now available on phone, and i really liked how it looked.
And i think it would be great to run it.
But i dont know how well it would run on my phone.
Has anybody installed ubuntu on their razr hd?
How does it feel, does it work.
I think ubuntu would work perfectly on the razr hd since it has no buttons and that what i think ubuntu on phones is all about.
Any help is apreciatted.
Btw this is my first post.
Wasnt too sure where to post it

Isn't the first release only for the GNex and its mostly for development... consumer release will come later in 2013 or 2014 (according to Android authority)

But after looking up more info i realized that it wasnt realesed yet.

Hey guys!
Does anyone know if there is a Ubuntu port for the Razr HD in progress?
I dont find any information about ubuntu and the razr
Why are so many devices already supported but not yet a sign from the razr hd?
Locked bootloader probably. This does have one right?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
it has but you can unlock it - as far as i know.
are there any other problems that may prevent the razr to get ubuntu?

The n7 is already fully supported by ubuntu... to be exact all recent nexus devices. First step for a successful port is a cm10.1 kernel for the target device. It does not need to be full blown, as a lot of functions aren't neccessary for Ubuntu, and requires some modification. (e.g. no Dalvik - theres no VM eh )
I'm on the lookout for a new phone, and just wondering which of these two to get.
One s pros: build quality, size, development?
RAZR HD: battery life, micro sd
Thanks

Can't say much about the HTC other than I hate Sense. Motos Blur is as close to pure AOSP as you are going to get on a non nexus phone. I can say that my RAZR MAXX HD is by far the best phone that I have ever owned. The battery life alone accounts for most of my pleasure as well as the build quality. The combination of kevlar , metal and gorilla glass make it a no need for a case phone. Development is finally heating up so fully functional AOSP is just around the corner.

That's me. The last HTC phone that I owned was the OG Evo4g. Sense was so overly bloated that the phone could barely operate for 4 hours with it. I did not use close to a quarter of the crap that it had preloaded. I would hope that they have worked on trimming that beast down over the years.

Well I guess bloatware is one of the reasons we root in the first place. My friends have both the RAZR HD and the one s, and there is no difference on speed as far I can tell. Sense has come a long way. The RAZR got jellybean a few months ago right?

Check this out http://versusio.com/en/htc-one-s-vs-motorola-droid-razr-maxx-hd
Looks like the One S has a better camera and speakers. The RAZR MAXX HD has a bigger and better screen with higher resolution. The battery is double the size of One S. Internal memory and SD support are also a plus for the RAZR MAXX HD.
Guess it all comes down to what you want your phone to do.

I guess so. I have Ord, Rom updating disorder, so development is pretty important. Of course, the sd card helps a lot. How is development so far, stable cm?
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda app-developers app
It's come a long way. Some amazing devs have just recently unlocked the bootloader without the support of Motorola. Now Hash and Byte are working on a custom kernel for AOSP. It appears that the kernel is nearly complete. There are some 4.2 ROMs floating around but they are suffering from lacking a completed kernel. Once that kernel drops, I'd imagine the devs will have us on official support from the likes of Cm, AOKP and etc...
...
I've had a One S and now the Razr HD. The HD all the way I'd say. No sd slot is a deal breaker and only 16gigs of storage. Depends where you live but the HD has far better signal reception. The reason why I got rid of the one S. Other than that most of of what has already been said applies.
HD!
go for the razr hd, you wont regret.
almost stock interface, great battery. period.
I agree: go for the Razr HD. If benchmarks are important to you, take a look at this:

Well, the 2x RAM helps. You lose the on screen keys . Then active notifications and touch free control are pretty nice.

I left the s4 and couldn't be happier. This phone will probably not get the recognition that it deserves because of the X but it should be considered the best at the moment. I don't believe anyone will be able to top this because they are all fighting over who has the biggest cpu and not who can actually match the iPhone. This phone does match it. You have to own it to know what I mean.

Aye, active notifications + touchless controls and performance make this phone a star.
Well worth the upgrade. I jumped from my Rezound to the Mini and I don't have a bad thing to say about it. My battery life is insane (spent a whole day Trying to kill it and only managed to drop it to 43%), super quick, good feel, and clean interface. I pretty much love this phone. Since the Mini is essentially the same thing as the Maxx and Ultra I'd say all three likely rock.
