Hi has anyone had a problem with the screen on there RAZR where in a dark black room and you watch a video for example and you get to a black screen there are black spots all over the display and screen leakage on top of where the capacitive buttons are.
I have had two razrs because of this in a week I can't stand it and I just called verizon today and they said that there is nothing wrong with the phone like they don't believe me but I don't think they went into a dark room to really test this issue.
Just want to see if anybody has had this issue and what can be done to possibly show verizon proof that I am not lying about the screen on the phones they have given me.
Thanks

I've heard of this on the forums, it is adhesive that is holding the glass in place and is not exclusive to razors I've noticed it on my phone but it's not a major issue for me

Just as djerk said. I have these spots on my razr maxx as well.
ALSO, just as the noob video said use the search function. I know for a fact that there are threads about this already.

Thanks for the response it is appreciated but for the newbie stuff I am not a newbie to xda and searched what I could but as I am on a phone with no computer available the search function sucks and I didn't find one answer so again thanks for your help this issues annoys me it might not be big to others but for me it is I came from a sensation never had this issue I have also had a evo 4g, a desire, a Samsung intercept no such issue and screen quality is a big deal for me I just needed an answer

I posted the same question thread and it got locked down because it is a known quantity however I find it to be sloppy craftsmanship.
That being said, I accepted it and it does not bother me one bit.
MAXX
I have noticed it on my Maxx too, but I have only ever seen it while playing one particular game when the screen is really dark. Other than that, you can't see it at all, so it doesn't bother me.

It's a minor issue and imo not worth making a big fuss over. Overall the razr is a very high quality device. Great hardware, and software (although updates can be slow to push) we will be receiving JB.

To me it is unacceptable I got a new phone worth a defect would you buy a laptop with screen issues I wouldn't so this isn't good to me at all.
So I went into Verizon told them about my issue talked to someone on the phone found out I was in my 14 days still and Gabe it back can't have this problem but one good thing came from it I now game a RAZR M and it is beautiful without the screen issue also thanks for everybody helping and enjoy your RAZR it is a good phone but not for me with the screen issue on two different new phones.
By the easy RAZR M is a great step up in my opinion same size screen better quality screen though (even though technically it is the same) and fast.

You will probably have the same.issues with the RAZR M. It's not a defect per say, it's just something that happens with this type of screen, which the RAZR M also uses.

I don't think the M or the HD's will have this issue. They are using different screens.
I really am surprised Motorola released the RAZR with this issue.

I came from the fascinate too. Switched over cuz of constant missed calls. I really liked the phone & the dev community but I pay too much per month for just a screen & camera that can't receive calls. So far the x2 has fulfilled all my major & many of my minor requirements for a smartphone AND people can reach me when they call me so it's all good. And I actually prefer blur over touchwiz.

They have recently released an update about same time as gb for x2 to fix that missed call/text issue and other bugs. My sister was talking about her misses yesterday when I remember hearing about the update. Told her how to check for em and presto no more missed call or text. She doesn't mod her phone at all and lived it except for that problem that is no more.

Have you seen the horrendous ghosting the droid x2 does? Such a pos screen. I kinda regret coming from the tbolt by choice at times. It has cm7 and a flashable unlocked bootloader.

Coming from samoled, everything else lacks in some areas. But this isn't as bad as it's made out to be. My brother-in-law has an evo & this blows it out of the water. If you want screen, buy screen; if you want phone, buy this.

Came from a Fascinate. Absolutely loved all of the Roms ans everything for that phone. This Droid X2 is pretty awesome. I like it a lot more than the Fascinate. It's much much faster in my opinion. AND we have gingerbread. It took forever for us to get Froyo on our fascinates. Still miss the SuperAMOLED screen, but this one is just fine. The battery lasts a lot longer on this phone, plus I actually get service where I never could on the fascinate. So its definitely a step up, in my opinion.

this phone would be killer if it had the fascinate screen and better camera and video ..my only complaint, rather suggestions

Came from LG Ally. Had a Droid X for a week then traded it in for an X2. Screen is awesome! Battery too! haters be hatin lol. But I understand why people dont like the screen, just not an issue for me. I dont know what all this talk of "ghosting" is about tho. What is ghosting anyway?
Came from a Palm Pre, Only thing i miss is that portrait keyboard and WebOS multitasking....oh and overclocking. Got the Droid X2 after i took a river dip with it in my pocket.

Wow, is this a fun, beautiful phone.
Curious to who I know around here. Any x2/bionic peeps around? Curious to all of your thoughts on this phone and if any of you here are cheesecaking.
I must admit, I think I like this better than the Nex. Additionally, Moto made some very nice improvements to their interface (*blur*) on a lot of different levels.
Anyways, just saying hello to all of you. Let's keep this forum alive.
Cheers.

Hey 'Wolfe. Glad to see you here. I made the jump from the x2 (wife needed a working phone & I needed a new toy) the day this came out. So far, it's been a great experience & I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Glad you're on board.

I don't use hotspots so I haven't experienced this, but I do know I don't lose apps after a reboot
So far mobile connection seems far superior, as does performance. Also, huge fan of the screen, although I do get kind of a greenish tint at times where I feel it should be white - market hang screen for example.

It is great mobile. Am coming from nexus s after i broker the glass :'(.. So o designed to take this mobile over samsung s2
I really like it except the the larg body
BUT i noticed the wifi range is weak!! And there is no video calls option
Rather than that every thing is great

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand the trade-off bit...apologies...but when I saw it once, I was looking for a faaaaar brighter screen, considering the fact that its a sAMOLED...but I found it a little dark...but was told in some forum its because of some ambient setting...will make sure to check it next time properly...
But am surely buying it for sure...in a while... Congrats on your phone BTW.

Hope to see you here soon, this really has been an impressive improvement on Motorola's part. As far as the screen goes there's an additional option to allow the os to manage auto brightness to conserve battery. Net effect: it's about 25% dimmer at times than just "normal" auto brightness.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I believe the dimmer look is attributed to the AMOLED screen. What I was saying as far as a "trade-off" is that I'll take a slightly dimmer screen to get a less pentile effect. This screen looks much nicer than the Bionic in my opinion...
I just "upgraded " from the nexus to the razr and I am absolutely loving it. The nexus' radio was awful. This phone is just so much more solid overall.

Got this phone a week back! Totally loving it. My old Xperia X8 was almost driving me nuts! Already rooted and safestrapped!
So how's your RAZR experience?
I used to use a Galaxy S and I feel like Razr Maxx is falling behind with multi touch. Sometimes when I type fast, Razr would skip a letter. Also, the vibration is a bit clumsy compared to my previous phone. Other than that I love this phone. Is mine a defective phone ?
The stock keyboard sucks for speed typing. Try a 3rd party one.
Im using thumb keyboard and theres no lag.
As stated the stock keyboard isn't all that great. There are plenty of keyboard apps in the market to choose from. I like Flex T9 myself.

The screen sometimes does not register a Swype for me but overall Swype feels the same as on my tablet or previous phone. I do wish the sgs2 had been on big red though. Honestly the razr maxx just feels weird
yeah.. I tried couple keyboards but they are stil lthe same... I'm typing really slow right now..
I noticed this as well when I had a Razr. Even seemed like it scrolled a little funny when I was scrolling through apps or browsing websites.
SwiftKey X is my keyboard of choice. I will admit the keyboard does not work as well on the Razr as it did on my Thunderbolt. But i think its because the Razr has a larger screen res so the keys are smaller than they were on my Tbolt. Not sure.

The keys not registering that well. There is a buy one get one free smartphone thing going on the VWS website and my brother wants to get a new phone. So I'm gonna returen mine, order a new one and see how it is.
I had the razr and the razr maxx... it's the same on both. I use swiftkey
So because my old razr wouldn't update I was sent a replacement
So for a few days I'll have a GB and ICS razr so if anyone would like any side by side tests ran let me know.

Any way you could do a battery test?
I would be very interested in such a test. It seems that battery life might be shorter on ics and that would be a deal breaker for me, as the only reason I got my razr maxx is battery. If I have a better understanding of the differences between ics and gb I might choose to stay with gb

I would be most interested in side by side call quality tests, both incoming and outgoing. If you only have one SIM, a way to do this would be to record yourself speaking to voicemail reading the same paragraph with each phone, and then listening to the readings with a high quality landline.
I would also like to see a comparison of signal strength (max distance to tower before dropout), as well as wifi range.
Thirdly, a comparison of music playback through a high end audio system would prove excellent.
All of these tests are almost never seen in phone reviews (except briefly in passing sometimes), and yet they are arguably the most fundamental, and most important qualities of any phone.
Just my 3 cents...
hi all, I'm considering getting the Motorola Droid Razr M. I currently have a Samsung Droid Charge (rooted, but still stuck on GB). My main reason for getting the Razr is for better battery life and a smaller device. My Charge drains at 5% per hour on 4G in idle mode (1% per hour on WiFi in idle mode). Thus, I need Juice Defender just to make it from morning to night.
Curious to see how easy root/unroot is, and what the benefits are (aside from removing bloatware)? I've been somewhat spoiled with my Charge, as the phone is unbrickable. Is the Razr just as user-friendly?
thanks!
I had the Charge as well, and while I prefer Odin and the Charge in terms of flashing kernels, ROMs, radios, etc., the RAZR is just as easy.
The RAZR has locked boot loaders. The release of kexec should allow better development but it's gonna take a few months. You should wait and get the RAZR HD or Maxx HD. Those two will give you better battery than the RAZR M and they have better displays. Same as the GS3 I believe, Super Amoled HD.

Pretty much what he said... but the razr m seems like a better fit if you want all around smaller.. we have booting kexec roms with everything working but camera due to ril... lol.. im sure your familiar hearing that coming from the charge.. im personally gonna pick up the maxx hd on battery life alone...
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA Premium HD app
thanks for the responses y'all.... I'm not a developer, so I'm new to the "kexec" terminology. I did some google searching, and from what I gathered (briefly), is that kexec is needed to install custom kernels (hence the K part)?
I don't mind waiting for development to develop for the Razr, as it looks like the M has some "smartaction" features that help with battery conservation.
just getting sick and tired of my charge dropping down to 85% after just 2 hours (even though I'm running JD).
Be aware that likely most development will happy with the developer edition of the M. deves have chimed in on that pretty loudly. at least on the twitters.
Did anyone notice this?
In countries outside the U.S., the device will ship with an unlockable bootloader where operators allow.

It will be tough to resist, that HD Maxx.
Hopefully the ergonomics are better than current maxx. The current maxx, even with same screen size as my Charge, just feels clumsy in comparison.
Odd considering it is thinner than the Samsung.

I will belive it when I see it.
If the bootloader is unlocked in the EU version I might get a HD MAXX.
Ofcourse, I will wait until it is confirmed. I will never trust motorola's word again.
