Droid Razr Max

[jerry3741]

I ordered a Droid Razr Max today and it should be in a couple days. The last five years i have had BlackBerry's in fact BlackBerry's are the only smart phones that i have had so i hope i haven't screwed up. I played with the Droid 4 and the Max in the store and i like the key board on the Droid 4 but chose the Razr Max for the battery life.

It's a great phone.. Just beware there are some WIFI issues that I've experienced.. I originally had the regular Razr then upgraded to the Maxx.. Neither phone would connect to public wifi.. At home I'm fine but at the gym or work I can not connect. Motorola has no answer or response to my continued complaints. I've read on forums that you have to adjust router settings however, how is one supposed to do that on routers that one can not access? Anyway.. Hope you have a better experience with it than I do. Other than that the phone is pretty cool and the battery life is absolutely amazing.

LoPing, I had the same issue with our original Droid2 (my wifes) and my DroidX.  I agree with Jerry374, about the Maxx vs the D4.....my wife loves sliders too but with the Maxx's battery.....WOW!  However, our current Motorola's had WiFi issues when we first got them way back when.   I originally had the first Incredible and wow, loved that look and feel and it was the easiest smartphone to set-up.  I just wish it was a bigger screen then my wife got the Motorola D2 slider and wanted me to be on the same platform so Verizon took back my Incredible and I got the X.  I like the X's screen size but loved the HTC skin....and like I said, ease of programming.  But her slider is dying and wants a new phone.  She didn't like the reviews the Galaxy Nexus got (even though I really like that phone), so she's been waiting for the D4, that is, until the Maxx showed up.  21.5 hours of talk time?!?!  That's incredible!!!  She's always on the road so that's why she said she would rather skip the D4 and go for the Maxx......but then, the WiFi issue pops back up on the radar.  Overall, how do you like the Maxx?  thanks, ken

Got a Maxx it Doing very well in the battery Dept. mine lasted 2ds 12s 34min. on the charge i done on Sat. an this last one Lasted slightly under that but i was streaming Win-amp an done so for 15 hours straight. The only thing that i am having to get use to is the higher in Treble speaker it at times wants to pop an i think it's do to that. But with downloading the EQ app an turning down the treble it has helped allot an Maxx sounds Dam Good when hooked up with a pair of Ear buds. What i would like to get to listen to my music is the new Bose speaker that Verizon has in the Accessories Area of the sight Check it out. An the Display on her to me is the bomb to some they can the squares or what ever they're calling it from the PenTile display. O well to me it still great an i don't stare at all day as critics must Do. An it is fast when it in the 4G Area Wi-Fi is just as fast an 3G comes up last.

To the Op just a Friendly reminder when you get your Maxx an your ready to take out the Sim do it very Carefully an do not Touch the Gold Area of it as it is very sensitive to Static Electricity An can render it Useless.  When i removed mine from it's holder i used a X-acto Knife with a No.11 Blade an i cut were the Tabs are. Don't cut on the Sim itself an it doesn't take much pressure to cut thru them. Then when holding the Sim do it by it's Edges. An when inserting it into the phone with the phone face up hold the little door down an insert the Sim Gold side ^ Up ^ push it in Gently it will stick out just a bit. To push it in all the way to were it catches in the Maxx i used a Wood Tooth pick cut to were it was blunt. Using a tooth pick for me was easier than using my finger to get it to catch in the Holder in the Maxx. Have fun when you Get it... Got any Questions just ask i 'll try to help as much as i can.

Well if your on the Web an on a Site like Android Central all that should be Needed to zoom is a Light Tap on the Screen should pull it in. OR take your Fingers your Thumb an first four finger put them together then on the Screen an then spread them apart to get it to Zoom Out or Take your Fingers spread apart an go in to Zoom in..
