I'm having similar problems, but I wouldn't say this is a terrible phone. So many others have no problems, so maybe I just got one bad phone (or two bad ones in your case, or maybe there is something I'm doing that is causing my problems. Maybe it will turn out that I can't use the Droid X, but I wouldn't blame the phone or Verizon.

I will never understand why people take the time to create an account and post a comment like this when they can just take the phone back.

If The "PHONE SUCKS" Take It Back! If you are on the 3rd phone with the same problems I would have to say that it is a 99.99% chance the problem is with the device operator.

I have to agree, the chances of more than one device having the same exact issue usually means there has to be another common factor causing issue, is most cases its a incompatible application always being installed. Best way to isolate the issue is remove all 3rd party apps or Hard Reset (Which is easier and wiser to trouble shoot) and run device without anything installe and see if the issue shows, if not then install apps a little at a time until you identify the issue... Blaming the device before doing this is wasting energy for nothing.

Also as its been said so many times before, if the "Phone Suck" so bad I would suggest returning it and get something more to your liking.

I was with Sprint for three years but hated their customer service. So I moved to T-Mobile. T-Mobile has great customer service but their phones are crap. I am now with Verzion and I could not be happier. Great customer service and my Droid X is the best phone I have ever had.

Geez. Some of these answers are of no use. Call customer support. I had the same issue with my and she walked me through a system reset that solved the problem without deleting any of the other files I saved on my phone. Good luck.

The method that can be done to hard reset without deleting personal data isnt the best way to do a hard reset because the app that restore the personal settings have a habit of also restoring the issue that cause you to hard rest antway and this give impression of a device issue when the issue was you just placed the bug back in device upon restoring settings with auto restore option.

Your contacts are stored on Google account and will restore when you log into Google Mail and also the list of bought apps are stored on the Market and restore them isnt a major thing also. I suggest not using auto restore option because it causes more issues than it helps.

You can't trust someone that was online for 8 minutes and read one message. He is probably an iphone fanboy.

:smileytongue: I could not agree with you more I did the exact same thing. Love my Droid X on Verizon!

jey

Mobile hotspot is nearly useless. Drops out continuously. Tried different channels. Tried different encryption schemes. Will even quit during transfers. "3G"' indicator flashes on and off. Phone gives mesage "Turning off", and then wifi is gone. Running with wall charger plugged in. When connected, signal strength is "Excellent" according to Windoze. Same problems in Washington, DC area and Dayton, Ohio. Both areas were very reliable when using tethered Blackberry, so I thing the Verizon signal is strong. Someting in the Android software is haywire.

LOL..Just am getting the D-X and upgrading from Android 2.1.2 and to tell you the truth never did learn it completely. I did have a stroke and heart attack during this period. However I love this phone. We camped across Mexico and the USA and it was my lifeline. I am looking forward to the D-X coming in the mail. Any and all recommendations as a new by will be greatly appreciated. Someone told me to hook up with this community and it would be the best way to learn this new device. As a stroke patient I view this as Rehab.

Thanks and hello. nonmeister

this guy knows what hes talking about!!

I've used the droid x for the last 5 months, without a problem. That said, go to any forum, for any phone, and you'll see just as many reported problems. So I guess all smart phones suck then. :smileysurprised:

It might be bad coverage in your area.

The phone has a short battery life and the max volume on the phone isn't loud enough for some ringtones to be heard if your too far away from the phone (and not listen for the phone to ring).

On the hand you might not be using the correct settings.
