What about pentile screen Maxx Hd vs S3? - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, it's my first post .... :laugh:
I planning purchase a Razr Maxx HD , in ebay , I live in Spain, this model not available here.
I own an Iphone 5 , and, I tired of charging every day or less. Autonomy is important for my work.
My wife has an S3 ... i can see the diference and noticeable of pixels in s3. OF course iphone 5 is perfect
Whats about the screen of Maxx HD ? is better than s3?
Thanks

If you like the iPhone they make cases that double the battery life.

Hello, yes, i see this cases, but it make the device very ungly..... and iphone's screen of 4' is a bit little for web and multimedia.....

Well the screen on the Motorola isn't quite as nice as Samsung so if your expecting almost iPhone quality it ain't happening.

I don't know about you but the iPhone 5 display is annoying. Who wants letterboxes on full screen hd movies? Not me. It is a nice phone don't get me wrong but I think the display on the razr hd is just as good as the s3.

I'm not talking about letterbox's I'm just talking about pixel density and clarity.

One X Or Galaxy Note?

So I just got my Int. Version of the One x today. Been using the AT&T Galaxy note since it released. I got a week to decide if I wanna keep the one x or not. If I wanna keep the one X i`ll prob still return this one and get the AT&T one. $595 compaired to 149 on Amazon.
How does your AT&T One X work for ya? the thing im worried about mostly is Battery life, Cause on my Note I had 3 batteries lol.
Only android phone I've seen with better battery life is the Razr Maxx
Battery life is fantastic. Check out this thread for comparisons: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612612

the S4 Krait is a very power efficient SOC.
i came from the AT&T note to the AT&T One X.
things i miss about the note: playing with various ICS leaks. better multi-tasking/memory management (guessing the great devs here will fix that now)
that's about it, everything else is better or as good as the note. battery life is great, the screen is gorgeous, and now the bootloader is unlocked. oh, and the design/feel of the one x is much much better
I have the At&t note and now the One X and so far I like the One X better.
I looked at the Note but concluded it was too damn big for a phone.
Plus you can get S-Voice on the HOX now.
I have the att one.
Coming from 4S and ip4 before that. Iphone 4 had better battery than the 4S but the 4S is quicker doing task and what not.
I would say the battery life for the 3 days I been using it has been great. Dare I say better than the iphone 4.

You can definitely say that. I thought the iPhone 4 had great bat life, but the One X beats it. This thing lasts me all day with pretty heavy use!

How is the screen compared ? The One X is 720 SLCD, while the Note is full HD 1280 SAMOLED+ . For me after having a SAMOLED (Galaxy SII) compared to a SLCD (Sensation) the difference is phenomenal !

The HTC`s screen looks so much more nice
i also have htc one xl and everything is fine except camera. not good result. and focus looses while recording what the fu'ck is f/2.0 and BSI sensor
I just sold my international galaxy note so I could get the one x. The camera is way better on the HOX. The screen to me is not that much of a difference. On the note the only thing that sucks about the screen is when you watch a movie, the dark scenes are very blotchy, it looks like a checkerboard. I tried every Rom out there including the official CM9 to try and fix it but nothing worked. The HOX killed my note on benchmarks, but when comparing them side by side in real world use I believe my note was faster. I was running CM9 on the note though.

Unfair comparison: Nokia 111 vs Razr Maxx Battery Life (Using only for communication)

I know these are totally diffrent animals.
Every one like Smart phones as they are convenience, but they are suckers of the battery. For them Razr Maxx become a best solution. Now i found battery life is more important than fanciness. Presently i use HD2 and i want to change to a new mobile for Battery life. Mainly used for Communication. Given that aspect Which one perform better Nokia 111 or Razr Maxx. (Consider Razr Maxx used same as Nokia 111 only for messaging and talking)
There are some phones like philips xenium with larger battery but they are too old or doesn't have camera. I don't inspire photography in camera weathr is cheapy or smartphone. But having a camera is so better than pen and paper. This is only about battery life..
So tell me which battery will last longer?
I don't think there is anything in the Android market that has a battery life anywhere near the RAZR MAXX series. I went into the MAXX HD reluctantly because I needed battery life, leaving an HTC DNA behind. After adding the Nova Launcher, I am able to customize this phone, and I really like it. Takes decent pics too!

[Q] Razr hd vs galaxy s2

Hi guys I post this treat to compare MOTOROLA RAZR HD VS SAMSUNG GALAXY SII.
I own both of them and with the official firmwares i think its better the korean one, here are my reasons.
MOTOROLA RAZR HD
Good battery (mAh 2500)
Nice design
Bad camera quality
Poor camera app, but fast
Screen colors are bad (maybe it is just me but black isn't black, and there are some spot darker)
Poor apps to begin with, there is no radio app, no notes app.
SmartAction is the only good app, but i wish it can do more, like activate this at call or deactivate afther call.
Really suck having a looked phone, but it is also understandable to do that if you root and bric it, ITS YOUR FAULT!
SAMSUNG GALAXY SII
Really light, i always forget where i placed it, and then find out it is in my poket.
Basic design
Good colors, I watched many movies and series with it and when it is a black screen, it looked almost like if it is off or locked.
Good starting apps
Good camera app, with many feature, like macro focussing or text photos etc
Camera is also 8MP but much better than Motorola one.
Even if I lost this phone now i regret to not having bought another Samsung.
Let me know what you think about it
and give me some ideas to fix my RAZR HD not rooted Jelly bean 4.1.1

I can't understand why people complain about camera. The camera of Razr HD is really good, provided you know how to use it. If you are looking for professional quality i would suggest you to buy a DSLR rather than expecting it from a phone. I have Samsung Galaxy S3 and when i see shots from both phones on my large screen, trust me, no one could tell the difference which is taken with which phone.
The AMOLED display of Razr HD is best.. two advantages of this are that it consume less battery and secondly the black is really black. Try adjusting screen brightness to see if it helps. If you are not so found of this display switch to IPS display phones like LG optimus G, but then you will complain about battery life. Trust me you can never get everything in one package.
You can download any app (Radio, Notes) you want from Play store .. Why complain that you don't have it pre loaded? Samsung does provide a few good apps but i have seen the crap they load along with some goodies.
So my whole point of this post was that you can't really compare two phones. Every phone has its pro's and con's. No phone is perfect. I can tell you 10 bad things about Galaxy S3.. but its irrelevent.
Solution : Try installing CM10 and see if it live upto your expectations.
Thank for your opinion, I'm gonna unlock it first then root
Aftherward I will install one custom rom
CM 10 isn't ready for this phone yet, and i dont think the official developer of it will improve
so I might try something else maybe try to cook by my own, and there is ubuntu coming
Razr hd is excelent choise, I turned off 4G and bloatware and batt last enought, and I say enought! camera is not like the one in xperia s but works "good" great screen and nfc, great greate quality in materials. multicolor notification led by the way.
RAZR HD
RAZR HD is the way to go with out a doubt.
I have owned Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and I can tell you - RAZR HD makes me truly happy! Even with LTE on, It lasts me on average 28-38 hours depending on how much music I listen to.
The screen is awesome, camera is nice as well. Again, this is not a DSLR - this is a mobile phone. Even on 4.0.4, it is nicely optimized. One of the best feature I found on the RAZR (yes I owned XT910 as well) is Smart Actions. You can set requirements for a profile to be launched (as well as actions to be executed - turn on/off wifi, send a text message and etc.).
Final thoughts, RAZR HD over any phone atm IMHO.
well, you guys sound really satisfied, i'm getting souspicious that i might purchased a bugged phone, I must check someone else razr hd before confirmation

[Q] honest advice from HD owners

I am getting the itch for a new phone, and i am stuck between 3 phones, and i need some real world input.
I currently have the S3, rooted, unlocked on CM 10.1. I am unhappy with a few things, such as poor signal strength, data drops (on both stock touchwiz and CM) and poor battery life....
The main things i look for when i get a phone are signal strength....being able to get as close to pure android as possible (whether stock or running custom), run wireless tether (for free) and the ability to play decent games (nothing crazy) and run things without the phone locking up.... also, camera is nice as i have two young kids, and i want to take "good" shots, not expecting DSLR quality, and "good" video.....
So i thought to myself, i like the feel of the Razr M, it's almost the perfect size for me. But i hear the signal is terrible for a motorola, and the camera is not the best. but now the bootloader is unlocked so that opens the door to endless things. but it only has 1gb of ram, and the graphics processor is not the best
Then i looked at the Razr HD and thought, nice battery life! decent specs (although not far off from the M i am seeing?) camera is somewhat improved and unlockable bootloader..... bigger screen than the M....
Not the Droid DNA is catching my eye. Spec wise, look, feel, possible unlockable bootloader depending on SW version. Quad core seems fancy... etc etc.
So i am kind of torn. I have had at least 10 android phones in the past 3 years or so ( i worked for vzw for 6 years) and i always thought my OG, Droid X, Droid X2 have had excellent signal. That is really the most important....
So i guess my question is, if you were in my shoes, would you still pick the HD? or would you go a different route? any and all input is welcome, and i thank you in advance for your time. oh and camera reviews for the HD seem mixed on both the video and camera. my wife has the original MAXX, is it all the same?

Get the HD. Everything you listed that you want, the HD has.

I'd imagine that, among those choices, the vote on a forum devoted to the Razr HD and the Razr Maxx HD would be pretty heavy for the Razr HD and the Razr Maxx HD, right? I've got a Maxx HD, rooted and unlocked bootloader, running mhous33's debloated stock ROM. Everything works, all the Verizon stuff is gone, the phone is smooth and fast. It's not perfect, though. I have continued problems getting and keeping a GPS lock. One day it works fine -- the next it's sure I'm 100 miles away. But the camera works, video camera works, HDR camera mode works, Bluetooth works, signal strength is fine.
Overall, though, for me, the combination of a good-sized screen, a relatively light weight and small size (given the screen size) plus a solid build quality and AMAZING battery life make the Maxx HD my DD for the foreseeable future.

I don't have the MAXX and I'm not rooted or unlocked BL YET, but agreed with everything else it's my favorite out of the other obvious choices for phones.

I own an razr hd, i chose this phone after losing my galaxy s2.
I have managed to unlock bootloader and root my device I run my own custom firmware (deleted some useless stuff and enhanced some others)
I think this phone has good battery-life, the camera is decent, wifi sometimes is buggy and gps work fine,
the thing I'm a bit disappointed is the screen pixels seems a bit lowquality, but looking at all the specs this phone is gonna last at least some years
before I will turn to something new
I was in the same boat. I still have my S3 but just use it for a WiFi Toy about all it's good for. The signal just was terrible on it in weak areas.
I got my HD on ebay and love it so far. It outdoes the S3 in many ways.
The only thing I miss on the S3 is the camera, but the MAXX HD does good enough.
Would be a very smart move.

Yes the camera does suck on the Razr HD. I came from a GNex and even though that phone only has a 5MP camera, it was WAAYYY better than the HD. The HD seems to do good video though. Signal strength is also noticeably better in weak areas. I could never get 4G outside my house on my GNex. Now I get 4G INSIDE my house.
Camera is really really really bad...
worst focussing i ever had on a cellphone, quality not that good, contrast and colors seem worn out.
The rest of the Phone is awesome. Good Performance, really good signal, resistant, good batterylife. Perfect Phone
But if you would like to take snapshots of your children and your family, as a good memory, dont use this Phone. Even in normal daylight my phone got problems making a good, focussed picture, with nice and natural colours.

I don't get what all the complaining is with the Razr hd /maxx camera. I've had this phone for two months now after a galaxy nexus. Sure you can't blast pictures as fast as the gnex but the HDR mode is great. Plus if you like taking photos, the Maxx is gonna have the battery life to get the job done and then some.
I was so frustrated with needing to carry extra batteries and charging sticks in my pocket and bag, not to mention remembering to charge them all.
Now my phone works worry free and only needs charging every TWO days.
Gaming is also great. The benchmarks on these phones aren't too shabby either.

Here are some pictures which i took, showing the usual quality i get. Of course i sometimes have good pics, like the ones you posted.
But the average quality is, imho not that good.
Rest of the Phone is more then awesome, eventhough benchmarks on stock are not good, overall feeling is great.
But maybe waiting for the next Motorola Phone Generation would be better for you.
More pictures
Wow your pictures looked really washed out. Try tweaking the exposure, or using HDR mode already I take it?

I also would like to stress the significant improvement in reception with the change from my galaxy nexus. Motorola is known for a killer radio. I'm getting better reception in the boonies even. This is also great for power management.
On that note the acclaimed galaxy S4 is supposed to have superior power management.

[Q] Droid RAZR MAXX HD Usable Screen Resolution

I am reprogramming a GUI that runs within a home control app which used to run on a DROID X.
With the DROID X, the usable resolution (minus the top bar) was 480w x 816h.
I have now switched to a RAZR MAXX HD and need to redo the project to match the new resolution.
I'm having a hard time finding the usable resolution on the RAZR MAXX HD, because whereas the DROID X had hard buttons at the bottom, the RAZR MAXX HD has soft keys that are part of the screen.
The specs for the RAZR MAXX HD are 720 by 1280, but does that include the area at the bottom with the soft keys?
I couldn't find any info about this on the web.
Does anyone know what the usable resolution of the RAZR MAXX HD is without the top and bottom bars?
Any help would be most appreciated!!!
You can find out what the resolution of the soft keys online.
