Droid X2=Fail, DX1 better than DX2?

[barski]

I'm getting sick of my Droid X2. My biggest complaint is the LAG!! This phone blows so bad its ridiculous. How could Motorola release this phone like this? Yes, i have did the supercharger and renamed the bloat apks. Oh and can't forget the multiple text messages all the time.

This phone is going to get put on the back burner until 2.3 or until some dev's get some roms up and going. Until then my Droid X is getting a fresh flash of Liberty 0.8 and it will once again be my primary phone.

On the bright side, I hope the reason for the bionic's delay is to work all the kinks out, and make customer ready phone.

That is all.. Carry On.

I still don't get how people can complain about colors on one device, then praise, say, the droid charge. The charge has the most outrageously oversaturated colors. I'd rather deal with pentile than with the colors in the samsung screens.

I agree 100%

Honestly I think some people like over saturated.. I bet some people see it and think "wow" .. If they were to take their favorite color photos and oversaturate it they'd like it.

Heh. That made me laugh!

I actually love my X2! The pentile and no dcc doesnt bother me. I don't know why.

Okay, I have owned nearly every droid (except LG Revolution and Charge) that has come to Verizon for some time, and I have to admit that I believe the DX2 is the worst of the bunch. After coming from a Droid X1 I have noticed the gingerbread built from motorola or/and the Tegra 2 setup is a cause of the phone being sluggish with a lag time that is overall frustrating.

Another gimmick motorola tried to fool the public with is the so called, "upgraded qHD screen" or better yet PenTile screen. The screen is a deal breaker, by far this is the worst screen I have seen on an android device, and if this is what I will be getting from a droid bionic, I'm done with Motorola. If motorola wants to save on cost, and give us a preceived bigger resolouion and brighter display that can't display colors correctly that leaves the screen with a grainy image that looks like a upgraded Etch A Sketch i'm done, by by Moto hello nexus prime, hello GS2.

And last I didn't think it was an issue, but where did the camera button go?
Is the DX1 better than the DX2?

Please Sound of in the Comments!!!

It isn't gingerbread it is froyo. The consensus is there is not enough RAM to leftover after RAM reserved and after the bloat to run basic apps.

Lol there you go again about the amount of RAM. The amount of RAM is fine, just how the memory is managed = fail. But there is a fix for that , the V6 supercharger script pznerd. Even before installing the V6 script I didn't have any issues w/ lag. The screen is qHD, was pentile the best choice? Probably not.. But I'm satisfised with the screen, everything I run on there looks good enough to me. If I want Eye popping visuals I'll go plop infront of my 50 inch TV or go play a game on my 30 inch monitor. If it helps with battery life, by all means i'll happily have a pentile display on my phone. Yes I can notice the slight pixelation, but during games and videos It's not really as noticeable imo. If you want to go to the S2 or prime, by all means do so . I have come to respect Moto for one thing quality PHONES, yes people (for those that have forgotten) this is still a phone. Every moto device I have had has excellent, hell superb call quality. I can hear people perfectly with my window open and driving 50+ and the volume is at the lowest setting on the slider.

My DROID x 2 is really starting to piss me off and Verizon service as well. I moved to a location that has 7 cellphone towers in a 6 miles radius of where I live and two of them is under a 1.5 mile radius and yet I fight to have 3g and 2 bars of signal strength that's a joke. And I keep on losing touch screen ability and the only way to fix that is to pull the battery. Not to mention my playlists wipe out all my songs everyone once in a while. I owned this phone for.not even a month and im starting to really hate it. I have no real issues with the screen my anime looks beautiful with it but anything else this phone needs work. $200 dissapointment.

Wow!not impressed at all. Coming from rooted and romed overclocked x1 the x2 is a huge disappointment. Not sure what i was expecting, but i got the same phone i had.
Its rooted, bloat froze and all the tweeks out right now and i cant tell the difference.

I can't believe that if u owned a x u would even buy a x2 its almost the same phone but the x has had time to work the kinks out.... The x2 was put out for every1 due for a upgrade. and to satisfy all the dummys who think that duel core is the greatest thing ever seriously how long do u think MOTO was in R&D with this phone they even used the same case.. you guys should of waited just a little longer

Ah yes i agree 100% but i did not use my upgrade. Paid a little cash and a trade on craigslist or i never would have got this garbage! I also think the dual core is all hype and the bionic ive been waiting for so long is also gonna be a huge let down.
Just a wild observation.

I went through my fair share of Droid X's and Verizon gave me a pick of 3G phones to replace my Droid X for free. Since the Droid X2 came out a week or 2 before I decided to get it as a free replacement. After i recieved it, i was greatly dissapointed like many others and went out to buy a Droid X again. Doing the supercharger and renaming bloat did make it more bearable, now im sick of the slowness again and am back to the droid x.

when ever there is a ton of hype there will be a let down i dont care what we are talking about the BIONIC could never live up to the hype that was put on it and the TBOLT suffered the same fate.. i hope the ppl that buy it love it but its not for me after seeing the X2 struggle and im not liking the screens on them. my hopes are way down and im happy with my bolt.. if u still got ur upgrade i would hold out till the end of the year HTC will have there duel core out if the bionic is not up your ally. i dont see duel core being important till next year anyway and no need to rush not really anything mind blowing thats a must have on verizon anyway X or X2 should hold u over anything u get now wont be much of a upgrade in my eyes

I totally agree with that's why i haven't used my upgrad, absolutely nothing out that is any better than my dx1. After seeing what a let down dual core is i def am gonna pass on the bionic and even wait to get a phone i like till after its rooted. All this bloat ware they r throwing on these phones is just killing them.
Leave it to corp. To think about the all mighty dollar. Any extra they can suck out of us

My x2 has zero issues and it's screaming. Get better benches than my friends GB tbolt @ 1.8ghz 8). Dual core does make a difference, but we have yet to reap the full benefits of the extra core just yet. Froyo only utilizes the second core at system level only. Once GB hits this phone, the true power of the Tegra 2 can shine through.:icon_ banana:dancedroid But srlsy atm even before v6 I have had NO lag of any kind on my x2.:icon_ banana:

I found the solution to the Droid X2. Go Launcher with Advanced Task Killer....yes i said it, im recommending advanced task killer for the droid x2. Ik, the android os is supposed to be good at managing apps but this does the trick.

Its much much better with the ATK and go launcher. 206 free mem. now its smooth.dancedroid still going to use the Droid X with liberty 0.9...
