Love My Maxx But!

[B33]

I wished was Built like D.X..

[curiousgb]

Why? What is it about the DX? The price of the RMaxx is now in my price range and I want to upgrade but am afraid because of the issues with the screen that I am hearing about.

I love everything about my Razr Maxx and have no screen issues.

I had a Galaxy Nexus since January and finally got tired of the issues and was sent a Razr Maxx. I have to say, the screen on the G Nex may be HD resolution, but the Super Amoled Pentile screen on the Maxx has whiter whites and more saturated colors in general. I compared them side by side. The higher resolution screen was duller in color. The only advantage to the G Nex screen was that small print was more clear....but I'm being really picky here.

I just realized you were talking about the screen cracking....sorry.

[draythomp]

I'm one of the folks that had my screen break early.  I got it on the day it came out and had to replace the phone because the screen cracked.  Nope, didn't drop it, I took a picture and it split right down the middle of the screen the long way.  One lady had it crack straight across the middle the short way sliding her finger across to wake the phone.

Avoid this phone, at least until Verizon or Motorola step up and take responsibility.

Do you have any idea what percentage of phones sold have this problem?  While that doesn't help you, if it's very low, there is probably no reason for people not to purchase the phone.  If it's relatively high, then maybe they should.

[draythomp]

No clue what the percentage is.  It is probably low right now since the phones (Maxx) haven't been around that long.  However, there's an increasing number of them posting on the web.  It's hard to tell how many since the various names may change as they move from forum to forum.  Also, a lot of folks just take it in the shorts and replace the phone rather than look around the web for other people with the same problem.

I suspect the number is several hundred because there are roughly sixty or so that have come out of the woodwork and complained about it.  So about triple that number to allow for folks that just don't have the time to post about it.

As for purchasing the phone despite the warnings...that's totally up to the individual.  Since there is no recourse other than getting a new phone or paying the 100 dollar deductible to the insurance company; I trust they will make the right decision for them.

Then, when they accidentally set on it in the car and the screen breaks; I can do a resounding, "I told you so."  Not very satisfying, but ......

I bought a slim case for my Maxx. It works very well and doubles as a kickstand. I was told when I got the phone that it had a stainless steel frame inside which actually makes it very sturdy. Get the phone! It rocks!

[B33]

D AZ have you put your Maxx in the Case if Not there is a Way you will want to do it. When i got mine i put the right Side in first.!  the side the power an Volume buttons are on in First then i slowly pushed down the left Side in. Other Wise it can get a little Cwazy on ya an fits Tight.. b33

[DroidudeAZ]

[B33]

Well as Long as it Went in smoooth.!  My hair was on it's Wits ends when i first attempted to put it in the Case.. b33

I find this whole issue of the screen just mysteriously cracking to be fascinating. I come from a DX that had the same Gorrilla Glass (supposedly). After 19 months, no protective case or protective screen, throwing it in my pocket, basically ignoring it until I needed to use it, flawless up until the day I switched to the RAZR MAXX...  Now (2 months later), the RAZR MAXX, same scenario - no screen, no protection, just in and out of my pocket as needed throughout the day. I do not babay this thing at all. In fact a recent 15 day triup to Italy - it was my ROCK (WiFi, Music, cached Maps, Games - everything but cell phone calls)  .. the screen is still in perfect condition. So I just don't get it about these things just suddently breaking when nothing is done to make it break ... very strange.  I guess I'll eat crown once it happens to me, but so far so good.

I think it would have to be a bad batch of glass.

[draythomp]

jimfitzgerald, I'm beginning to think you're right.  There's a bunch of us that have had the thing fall apart and a bigger bunch that haven't had any trouble.  I could easily be a bad batch of glass, a battery that expands under heat, or any one of a ton of possibilities.  The annoying thing is their constant denial to person after person of any reported problem.  Do they really think we can't read and don't talk among ourselves??

This is the freaking 21st century fools and most people can read.

For crying out loud.

i have been in the manufacturing end of most places i have worked at and it is an accepted practice worldwide since time began, that X amount of ANY product/part, etc... will be bad!!! so if your screen cracks and mine doesn't...that is life my friends!!! many moons ago i bought my 1st and only new car, highly rated and from a company that i've rarely ever heard a bad word about and had nothing but trouble with it!!! what made the difference for me as it should for all of you, is what is the company you do business with or purchased your product from going to do about it??? that my friends is the real issue at hand...

I LOVE my Maxx!! I get 1 3/4 days on the battery with heavy use (rooted/ics rom) and never have had any problems (other than bootloops and bricking from flashing which were easily repairable). My only complaint was the razr to razr maxx upgrade after my 14 day period was up and the $300 I paid for the maxx. Ah, the price for having to have the latest and greatest. Overall, one of my greatest purchases. 🐵

[B33]
