Problems Day 1...are you serious? Droid X

[onewithshadows]

I have not installed ANY apps I did not have installed on my Incredible, which I gave to my wife since that is what she wanted. Here I am day 1. The phone has self rebooted 3 times, one time I had to actually pull out the battery because it froze on startup. I can not turn on and off wifi at will. It tells me "unable to turn off wifi." Even better than that, now it is only showing 1x connection. I am getting no 3g in a place where I get 75-85dbm signal strength? Oh, sorry. Phone just restarted again...so make that 4 times. This is a **** joke. $300 for a phone that doesnt work half as well as the Incredible I already had? Just be patient and get the obviously better phone. Now my wife would make me pry that Incredible out of her cold dead fingers and I am stuck with a phone that doesn't work. Awesome job Motorolla....cant wait for HTC to put out a 4.3 inch screen phone on Verizon so I can dump your pos. I will NEVER buy moto again.

And it just froze on the startup eye again. Looks like another battery pull. I am beyond so **bleep** off right now, especially since it is sold out so regardless I am stuck with a crap phone until they can at least get them in stock again. Of course, right after I get everything set up on the phone how I want it.

Edit: I have also just noticed a problme with the webrowser closing for no reason while trying to type something into google search. Hopefully its just an app or something. I do not want to wait to get another new phone.

Any phone can have issues early in it's release.  As for HTC, don't be to hot on them either.  The incredible has a incredibly sensitive lens over the camera that likes to crack, not to mention HTC's are notorious for having to pop the battery out and reset.  The Evo has the wonderful touch screen that peels away from the phone due to the phone heating up and softening the glue.

Sometimes you just get a bad phone, it happens.  Heck same thing happens with cars that cost $50k.  

I'd try doing a reset of the phone and restore it to stock config.  If it works fine after that, there could be an app that works fine with the Incredible, but doesn't like the Droid X.  After all it's first day release, not much time for app programmers to identify and fix any bugs.  If it does indeed wind up being an issue with the phone it's self, use your warranty and chalk it up to a bad phone in the batch.  I've had Several Motorola phones and HTC phones, and overall I have found the Motorola phones to be of much better craftsmanship.

Edit #2 when on googles page as soon as the gps locator comes on to find my location...it crashes out the browser.

Know the feeling!!! The statement is "Droid Does" I say it "Does NOT!!!" I have worked (wasted) all day trying to connect to the corporate sync and it will NOT do it. Even the tech support team couldn't figure it out. Can't believe I gave up my Blackberry for this. I depend on Outlook. IF they can't figure this out may have to get my money back switch to something else. I thought this was supposed to be easy - ha. I wonder if I could bill verizon or motorola for time spent trying to figure out thier mess up?

It must suck to be an incredibly impatient person that runs out to get a device upon release just to discover that it has a few issues.

I have had the same issues and more with the X....now I have to wait weeks to get back the Incredible I exchanged for the X.

The Incredible is far superior to the X!!!!

onewithshadows:  Most people who were having problems like you have are reporting that after a night of charging these issues have gone away. 

Just to trouble shoot the problem, try letting the phone charge while turned off for 4-6 hours then see what it does.

What ROM are you on?  1.13.516 was replaced by 1.13.640 with tons of fixes.  But for some reason, although my pre-released X from Work got 640, my retail one says it's up to date.

It must be nice to be superior than everyone else! People are aggravated and you make a **bleep** comment like that!
