What exactly didn't you like about the razr? I was looking at picking up one but the biggest drawback with motorola phones is the locked bootloader so no custom kernels.

ya that was one thing but the ui is way too complicated, to many options. I hoped it would be like the og did but it wasnt. I also got dead pixels out of the box. And it gets really hot. Battery worse then charge. I'm sure the hardware is great but Motorola killed it.

I was reading threads about people complaining about black splotches on the screen when looking at a black image in the dark (why would you do that anyway?) Apparently its an issue with AMOLED screens as they all say. Other than that and the high temps everyone seems to like the phone. I'm having Verizon swap me to a new phone so I'm trying to get an idea if the Razr or Rezound is better.

they both suck. we were cheated and never got the SGSII. The greatest phone to date.

Motorola has some great ideas but when it cones ti amoled screens Samsung takes the lead hands down. I like the options I get with my photon but I too have dark spots on my screen. Not a big deal to me, you get used to them, but out of the box come kn Motorola get it together.

I could live with the black spots. It's not like I would be staring at a black picture under the blankets constantly Lol. The lack of removable battery worries me when it comes to flashing roms though.

Does the PHOTON Q ship with unlocked boot loaders?

Does this phone ship with unlocked boot loaders? And also who ever has this phone, how does it compare to the Photon that came out 2011? That phone is hella laggy and it was from the beginning. And is it better than the Epic 4G Touch?

The phone shipped with locked bootloader, but it unlockable via Motorola Unlock Tools.

Nice, how does the phone compare to the previous Photon? Or even to the E4GT?

Correction: the phone ships with an unlockable bootloader. You have to use Motorola tool to unlock it and agree to void your warranty.

Voiding the warranty is automatic when you root your phone. So other than that how do you like the phone?

I love this phone. And what I meant by voiding the warranty, is that you basically tell Motorola that I'm voiding my warranty and they are able to keep track of that voided warranty.

Good to know. Does the Photon Q lag at all like the previous Photon? Or is it pretty fluid?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app

I have both photons. I don't see the lag that you are referring to.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium

The Photon that came out last year is laggy. It's slow to respond a lot of times. It's not fast and fluid. I'm not talking about data speeds just the phone itself seemed laggy, even other photon's I've played with in stores. They're slow.

weird, I never had any of those problems with the original. I think the animations give it that slowed down look too. right now I'm running mine my original photon completely stock and locked because of the 4G. and it runs great. quick as hell.

Need a new digitizer, just going to sell it

I tried replacing the glass on my white VZW GS3, but it didn't turn out so well. The screen is now very dim (about 50% of normal) and the blacks are all a hazy grey. It looks terrible, so I'm assuming it needs a new digitizer with screen. At this point I'm just going to get a new phone, but does anyone know a good place to sell a phone like this that needs replacement parts? Thanks!

Do you think we will see root on 4.1.2

I just purchased a razr maxx hd and I love the screen I was just wanting to know if anybody was working on a root and if so is there a time frame we could see it. Or should I return it even though I don't want to

Bootloader has been unlocked, so there is more hope now.

Thanks for some info I love the screen I have a note 2 and razr screen is way better

You guys think Moto/Verizon will let us trade in for Moto X?

Title. Not sure if I'd do it, though.

Not in a million years. I'd rather have the 2012 model anyway, though.

Why would you want to?

If anything, the software will be better. But I'm fine with my MAXX HD right now.

A lot of things should be and probably will be better than the RAZR HD with the X. But after all your current isn't that bad though other brand owners will tell u it's rubbish Not going to get the option in the UK
Sent from my XT925 using xda premium

I don't think I would trade my MAXX HD in right now, but I can tell you I hope some of the devs are able to port the firmware over. While I doubt I would use touchless controls, the new notification system is something I can see myself using a lot.

i guess two questions pop into my head...why would you want to, and why should they?

If you complain enough you *might* be able to get a alternate device swap for it but it would be rough. If you have an unlocked bootloader on your HD you are giving that up as the Moto X on Verizon does not have an unlocked bootloader. The dev version will though.
I guess the way I look at it is the Razr HD will eventually get 4.2.2 or 4.3 and if I cant wait i will just enjoy CyanogenMod until they do. Now if you have a regular Razr HD and not the MAXX and you have a locked bootloader or dont care about locked bootloaders then go for the X. Just complain enough and they will probably let you switch. I would wait a month though after its released to try as you dont get a new X or any new device as you only get refurbs. Have to give time for refurbs to show up in order for them to think about switching you.

I complained alot and they kept asking me to send my phone for repair. After three sends, I gave up, unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom. No more over heating issues now.
