Review: Motorola's Droid X

I am currently having a problem with my boyfriends droid X. It very rarely actually turns on and when it does, it times out and i cannot turn said phone screen back on with any other buttons. I'm not sure whats going on with it

which phone to buy droid x or samsung fasinate which is better

Is the X going to get anymore Upgrades? Currently it's 2.3.3

Just had 2.3.3 installed to my Droid X that I've had for almost a year. Looking for other comments. My limited time on it so far is mixed. Nice idea to keep the principal call buttons active on the bottom line of each screen, but I was surprised that it wiped my speed dial pre-sets and some account uid/pw info. Does anyone know what else to look for that might need some tweaking?

- What is "Sleep Mode", and when should it be used? (as opposed to completely turning off)

- Is there a way to add a pause, followed by your 4-digit pin, to your voicemail preset? This was possible in all my previous non-Android phones, and I find it hard to believe this would not be an option in Android.

- I'm happy with Android 2.3, and wondering if Launcher Pro really improves the experience a lot. I figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it (but am always open to advice/suggestions)...

- I upgraded from the LG Ally, and one of the things I liked about that phone was it came with a full-screen calendar widget. Does the Droid X have this, and if not, can I download one from the market? What calendar is the best?

- I just ...

I like this phone but I sure will be glad when the bionic comes out, I am really tired of the phone not being able to be heard when i call people at times, when I dial a number it calls someone else who is not even under that contact, etc yes it has been replaced a number of times I just dont like the other phones out right now so i continue to keep it, come on bionic come on lol

So i just got the X, came from the D1. It took me a while to get used to the full touch keyboard, and there aren't near as many roms, but all and all I think it is a good device.

My question is, what are some of the better roms? Ive tried Liberty already, and Darkslide is my next one I want to try.

It says at least need to be on 2.3.32 to install. What does this mean and where do I see if I'm on it or not? and what are the benefits of it?

I need some help still some what kind of new to my droid x any good apps? tips? or tricks? anybody recommends. Also is there anyway to make my phone a mobile hotspot without having to pay verizon an xtra 15$(i think) a month without having to do anything to difficult. Dont want to do anything that will come close to bricking my phone. Thanks for all the feedback

i work at sprint and recently came across a buyback phone that was a droid x, so i was going to purchase it myself, but when i did a master reset on it, everything went through

except: the reboot is stuck at 100% and it reads "100% 00:00:07/00:00:00" and when i click on the search key it says "performing 'wipe data' clear...
Formatting DATA:..."

and it stays stuck at that.

any help please

I'm eligable for an upgrade soon. Verizon offered me an early upgrade to iphone. Theres not enough difference between my fasconate and I phone to bother with it. So I'm waiting because I'm really eligable this June. I'm going they will have 4g and more to the point 4g in my area.

So my question is, will the droid x be 4g compatable? My husband has one. I would upgrade to it if it's capable of doing 4g access.

Thanks,
Jo

Hey fellow Droid X users. I recently noticed a problem with my Droid X. When I go to my apps drawer and try to look at my gallery by obviously tapping the gallery icon my Droid X tries to load it but then backs up to the apps drawer and then to my home screen. Does anyone else have this problem. I noticed the problem after I downloaded the last software update not too long ago. I am also using LauncherPro Plus but have uninstalled it and reinstalled it to see if that was the problem and it wasn't. I need help! I don't want to have to take it into Verizon. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Forgive me if already addressed (couldn't find anything via search). I have set my Preferred Network Type to WCDMA only (via *#*#4636#*#*) and my Droid X keeps switching back to CDMA auto (PRL) or it will be set to WCDMA and still connect to 1x. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong??? Getting frustrated.

My workplace has extenders, which do not work for data, but I'm trying to force 3G only so that it does not switch as often. Kills my media streaming and battery life. TIA

It is now shipping with only a 2gb card so, 10gbout of the box not 24...

My phone has been freezing and powering down. Has anyone else had this problem with their X?

I have the droid and for some reason, my emails does not come through right away. Alot of times I have to shut off the phone and restart it and then the email will come through. I've checked the settings and it is set to load the emails the most often (I think it's every five minutes). ANy ideas???

i downloaded the lite version of the app and i downloaded a couple games. when i start the app it tells me i have to find the BIOS file but im not sure where in my phone the games were downloaded to. For my other emulators(snes, nes, and sega) the roms go to my rom folder or to my download or downloads folder. Anybody that can help or offer any advised would be greatly appreciated. Also does anybody know how to get the net play to run smoother? Thanks once again.

Hello,

Yesterday I received a prompt from VZW network that the new Android v2.3 upgrade was available. Installed as I did with others and been running for about a day.

My question is this. Does anyone know or have a link to what ENHANCEMENTS & FIXES are part of this release?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

My HDMI cable (Verizon) used to work when connected to TV. Now TV not getting signal and phone not going to "remote" screen. Only HDMI setting is format and have set to Auto. Phone says no HDMI cable connected.
Help!

PS: know of any good video players? Stock player bites.

Hello, I am new to the android market. I am coming from a BlackBerry Storm2 and one of the most helpful features I am missing on this phone is the ability to list my contacts by last name. Anyone know how to do this or an app to download that will allow it? I have looked and haven't located one yet. Any help is appreciated! Thx...

i loaded movies on my droid x and it wont show the file names any help would be greatly appreciated!
