OFFICIAL Droid X Issues/Problem Thread

[grimjay]

I have very bad flickering issue. check battery and even reset factory mode and still doing it. how can I solve this problem? Not only flickering but 60-70% screen become like black and white tv with bad signal. Btw I put screen protector also.

The screen flickering issue is becoming well-known, and I also have this issue, albeit not as bad as others but enough to warrant a replacement. Check out the following via engadget, which has videos/picture as well as links to other threads (including one describing my issue):

Yeah, thats the downside. But if you have this issue, you should probably place an order for an exchange asap because there is already a delay until 8/3, so the sooner you do it, the better. At least thats what I did. Hope it helps!

When I'm using Google Navigation while driving with my phone in the car dock and get a call (through my car's hands-free bluetooth) - The nav lady keeps talking when I answer the phone! The person on the other end can't hear me and it doesn't switch over to the phone screen like I'd expect (or some type of phone/nav screen)... Really annoying.
Not sure if this is an X specific thing or if it happens with the Droid as well?

Also, I'm using Launcher Pro (love it!) and Home Switcher... When I try to go back to the stock launcher from Launcher Pro I'm running into an issue. I use Home Switcher to make the stock launcher default and I launch the stock launcher, this part works fine and I'm able to use the stock launcher. BUT when I press the Home hardware button it reverts back to Launcher Pro!? I'm not sure if this is an LP thing or has something to do with Moto's software... Don't get me wrong, I love Launcher Pro and use it most of the time. But it would be nice to be able to use the stock home if I choose to as well...

droid X is just a big problem

My Droid X Problems
work email will not sync (oddly it will sync on the original Droid) All my other emails work ok, my earthlink account works good but my hotmail account sometimes works..

When i hit the phone/call icon when it displays the tabs on top when i hit the contacts tab, Poof! Nothing displays 0 contacts and screen flashed back to home screen.

The phone has deleted all my contacts once...

the whole facebook contacts sync is annoying!

seems that original droid had problems but the replacement seems to be even worse.

Though my friends with the Droid incredible and EVO have had no problems...Seems like HTC has something.

How do I turn off DLNA, every time I turn on wifi it shows up in my notication bar.

Youtube

Is anyone else having problems with the voice not syncing up with the video shown? The sound is playing slower than what the video is showing. Haven't figured out what I can do to fix it.

I'd say it happens about 90% of the time.

(And the youtube videos take quite a while for them load..)

As many other have reported...I'm having issues with the Wifi connection. I can be right next to my router with the phone and it will show a very strong connection only to disconnect it seconds later. It is extremely annoying. I have bad cell reception at home, so was really hoping the Wifi on this phone would work. My router seems to be working fine, because I have no problem connecting my other Wifi devices (to include this laptop) to the internet. I've also experienced the problem on other hot-spots. If someone figures out a fix for this please post. Or if someone from Verizon or Motorola is watching...fix this PLEASE!

This evening my yahoo email began not syncing correctly and when I go to check the account details, the password field is completely full and no longer contains MY password.... have to reenter the password before it will sync correctly and I have actually had to delete the whole account once and reenter all information.... bs and frustrating, hope it gets fixed soon as it worked just fine before the update..... not completely blaming it on the update, but its the only thing that is different from yesterday to today......

While you guys talk about software I have to take my Droid X back already due to hardware. They sent me a broke as phone!! When I make calls, all I hear every time someone talks is a blown tweeter type annoying ass sound. The wifi doesn't work either!! I have to wait till they get more then I get to turn it in for a new one at the local store. I'm not to mad but it still sucks. The only cure will be if someone finds out how to root the X around the so called "eFuse" we're hearing so much about. If it doesn't get root in the next 30 days, I'm taking mine back for sure. So much for waiting up and ordering at midnight hey?

This is my 2nd phone. I hear a hissing noise in the backround when people speak. Verizon employee said it sounded fine to him. Someone else told me the same thing on their phone.

Tonight while sitting at dinner with my DX in my pocket, screen locked, and nothing touching it but my jeans, it started to vibrate like I had a call coming in. I pulled it out of my pocket, it stopped vibrating, I had a blank screen (homescreen had apps on it and was already customized) and the blue indicator light was on. I was finally able to get to my recent calls - no missed calls, checked text messages, no messages, no emails, no voice mails, NOTHING new that would have caused it to start vibrating like a call coming in. I ended up having to reboot it to get the blue indicator light off. Any ideas anyone? At the time, I was using Launcher Pro Beta for the customization of the homescreen, could that have caused it to start vibrating? The sound was on, so it should have vibrated AND played the ringtone if there was truly a call coming in, but it just vibrated. Any help greatly appreciated. I uninstalled LP to see if it was that, since it hadnt done this until within an hour of downloading LP... figured I would start there and see if it corrected it or if it does it again. Thanks for the help in advance!

maybe it got placed in vibrate mode, i know theres a setting where rapid double tap on screen places it in vibrate

You might want to see what WiFi channels are in use in your area, and make sure you're using one that nobody else is (if possible). This can sometimes help with issues like this.

The X is not the original Droid's replacement. The Droid 2 will be it's replacement.

The completely full password field is a fairly common practice... Some are designed to do that so that if someone were to look in your phone and try to get that password they wouldn't be able to see exactly how many characters your password has (the field still contains your real password but the number of characters are masked), which would make it easier for them to guess it.

My Yahoo was down as well but I think it was just a problem with the Yahoo service, as it is working fine now.
