Re: DROID MAXX: Lollipop Update News Right. Really the ONLY thing wrong with the Droid Maxx is that the camera is very mediocre. Outside of that, it's a great phone.

Duracell Powermat is a piece of crap, and uses a dead format charging system. The Droid Maxx works well with just about any Qi wireless charger. I recommend picking up a Nokia DT-900 wireless charger. They're discontinued, but you can easily find them on the 3rd party marketplaces for around...

Instead of offering a $50-100 discount on a phone I won't get as a concession, I wish they'd offer to unlock the bootloader instead.

Trust me: Not getting the Lollipop upgrade is no big deal. I have the Moto X 2013 upgraded to Lollipop, as well as the Droid Maxx on 4.4.4, and the significant functionality Lollipop adds is minimal, while battery use issues abound. (The Moto X 2013 is basically identical to the Droid Maxx...

It's almost DEFINITELY a hardware problem. Not uncommon for the Droid Maxx and for the Moto X 2013. Sometimes, pushing in hard on the plate that includes the camera will make the camera reappear to the system for a while. I would not bother wiping your phone in the hope that the camera will...

Good point about the camera. The camera units in these phones (Droid Maxx and Moto X 2013) have an uncommon, but known, issue where a short can develop rendering the camera inoperable. I know a lot of people with these phones who have never observed this problem, but it is a known issue for...

Don't listen to the snobs. The Droid Maxx is a great phone: Excellent battery life, responsive, and the active display it shares with only one other phone (the Moto X 2013) is fantastic. It also offers wireless Qi charging. The main drawback to this phone is the camera, which is only mediocre...

Won't work. It's not the settings on the camera app, or what camera app you use. It just doesn't work with the Droid Maxx. (For the Droid Maxx, you need a selfie stick with a Bluetooth actuator).

The problem with the Droid Maxx is that it is based on the unusual processor / chipset used for only a very short time, for the Moto X (2013) and the Droid Maxx. That platform was quickly orphaned as Motorola went to a more standard platform. So maintaining updates for that platform is not a...

The Droid Turbo isn't significantly better. The Droid Turbo and Maxx 2 are better, but pretty expensive right now.
