Do NOT get a Motorola Droid 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is the Genius that decided to put an anemic battery in a fully loaded Android phone that can NOT be removed????????????????
Why have a phone that is reduced to 70% (sometimes 60%) in just 3 hours with NO use?????
After using a Droid 2 Global & Droi…d 3, I mistakenly assumed the 4 would be an upgrade….. NOT!!!!!! I got a new Droid 4 towards the end of May 2012, and immediately knew there was a battery performannce issue, then realized the thing is taped, screwed and glued in!!!!!! WHAT!!!??? Then the unit started acting up and would go to apps without me ven holding it. I contacted Motorola (several times) and was told to “send it in for evaluation” like they didn’t believe me. When asked what I was to use in the meantime, I was told (by the company that MAKES them) that I was on my own. Did I send it in, NO…wait, Hell NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t make the POS!

I gave Motorola several chances to make it right, so itt looks like I will become a new iphone owner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The primary reason I have the Droid is because of the slideout keyboard, but it is not worth keeping a POS for that
I used to really like Motorola, but they really screwed the pooch on this one!

This phone is for sh** I have had to warranty 1 month after getting it for a charging problem and verizon had to send 3 phones until I got one that worked. Now 6 months later the screen stays black except right after a hard reset. and then the screen is okay until you go to use it. What a pile of Sh** for what you pay for.

What the hell are you talking about? Apple A series is a family of SoC’s that compete with the Snapdragons/OMAPs/Exynos’s/etc. from other manufacturers, not a screen technology. Apple uses S-IPS LCD screens in their phones.

I do believe you are correct in mentioning Samsung, however. I believe the Apple Ax series SoC’s are built by Samsung.

My OG DROID made it 2 yrs, then had a D3 for a few months (got stolen), now I have the Bionic. As with the D3, worst. Camera. EVER.

Don’t care how many bells and whistles they put on it, I don’t think I can trust Motorola again on this point.

Buddy, get over the screen issue. It really isn’t that bad, and its a phone for god’s sake. For a four inch screen its great. This phone is awesome. I have had it for two weeks now and have very few complaints. I am from the camp that has to have a slider keyboard, and this is the best ever, so everything else on this phone is gravy. The one complaint i do have which i have been unable to diagnose yet is where two programs with the same function exist. For example, email and navigation. The navigation i can deal with, i just choose either vz nav or google maps. But the email programs are annoying. I am getting double notices. However, i am sure in time i will get this solved, its just annoying at the moment.

After about a month and a half, I must say that I like my D4 screen. Don’t see the things your’re talking about. Only real complaint is the battery life, strange periods of ultra-fast power consumption and sometimes just not charging in the otherwise sweet HDMI media dock.

Got my D4 yesterday as a result of the RAZR malfunctioning, and yes: I had to jump through *several* hoops in order to get it exchanged. That being said, I am 300% happier with this phone so far. The RAZR might be a bit more whizbangery, but it’s a *far* less solid-feeling phone, and the D4′s performance is right up there. For me and my purposes, this is a *much* better phone.

Hi all, Caveman Gregory here from NW Washington, D.C. and I just wanted to draw a comparison between my old flip LG brick phone and my new Droid 4 . That was a trick statement because there is no comparison. I was at the end of my two year contract and , well, it was time to upgrade my cell phone with a new two year agreement. Being a Caveman, I figure that it will take two years for me to fully utilize all the features of the Droid 4; but I will make one observation, the key-pad is way to small for me to use for text communications, I do not text anyway, but the illuminated key-pad is
surely a plus for all the text fanatics. The screen is a very nice size and the colors are true to life; and I am glad that I do not have to change batteries, the Sim Card was tricky enough to install. It takes a bit of getting used to, from the LG Accolade, and I find two drawbacks right off the bat: 1)
The weight of the Droid 4 is enormous, I was on the cell phone for sixteen minutes and my arm was tired. 2) I have yet to figure out if a volume control exists for the speaker of the telephone; I know that there is one for the volume of the ringer, but not the speaker of the phone. It is necessary to charge the Droid 4 every night; even with my light usage, the battery will deplete down to 60%-70% by the end of the day. Overall, I would give it a Bravo because the Droid 4 will certainly keep me in good communications for at least two years, at which time I will upgrade with a new two year contract.
