Hey guys I have a G2 with dead spots on the screen. Looking to either replace it with another one or with a Maxx. Had the Razr Maxx for 2 years with out much problems. Would you still recommend a Maxx after you had it for awhile?
I love my maxx and the latest update really helped the camera. ive tried all the flagships and overall nothing really beats the maxx . that being said ive not had great luck with the always listening feature . ive tried lots of time to use it in my daily use and it just never works properly. its easier to just touch the search button. that being said I love active notifications . I cant wait to see the new maxx and I pray it continues where this one leaves off.I posted some comparo questions on the maxx vs all of the new stuff that is out there. While each might have a sweet feature that beats the maxx (Like the qHD screen on the G3), none of the new units come close to the whole maxx package. I might be tempted to move for a newer moto, but the maxx has me quite content almost a year in.
You'll either need to cut your SIM, use an adapter, or easiest to just get a proper SIM from your carrier.I loved the G2 till this screen issue. Co worker had It for about a month and went back to an Iphone. Bought it used so no warranty. Noticed the sim cards are different. How would I change it over to a different sim?
Still a great phone. There is probably nothing out there I would trade it for as of now.

I am a first responder, and my phone simply has got to work. The Droid Maxx is so good that I believe it should be the industry standard for public safety officials.Hey guys I have a G2 with dead spots on the screen.

Any phone can tether on Verizon as long as you're not in am unlimited plan. For those of us who are, unless we root, we can't tether.I am a first responder, and my phone simply has got to work. The Droid Maxx is so good that I believe it should be the industry standard for public safety officials.
My Droid Maxx is by far the best phone that I have ever had. Also, the best Android device that I have ever run across. Battery life sets a new standard (about three solid days of full connectivity), I would not even CONSIDER a phone in the future that was not on par. Reception and sound quality are superb. The phone is quick, force close issues are non-existent on Motorola software (even rooted and modified).
The memory limitations initially concerned me, since this is my first phone without a micro SD card. In realty, the 32 gigs have been more than enough. It's actually just a big buffer cache for my online storage, which is now virtually seamless.
Screen clarity is the best of any phone (of any brand) that I have ever seen. Pixel density is part of the total equation, but seeing is believing. Touch responsiveness is excellent.
Sound.... This phone is amazingly LOUD. There, said it, mean it.
Unlocking the bootloader is a pain, if that is important to you. But once resolved, the device is easily modified. If you are not very, very brave then you should purchase an unlocked model.
Lots of ROMs for the Maxx. I tried them all, then went back to Moto and built my own from that base (4.4.4) and I love it. The shake cam and the active display far surpass anything that the after-market apks offer.
WiFi snaps to attention instantly when available. I read in somebody's review that the Maxx isn't able to act as a tether - HOGWASH!! I use it all the time as a hot spot for my tablet and laptop. Range is good, speeds are acceptable.
Bluetooth connectivity is outstanding. My Honda loves my Maxx, scooping up the Bluetooth connection anytime I get near my car. I don't like the automatic driving settings, because I spend lots and lots of time in my car at a dead standstill. But that is just a button push fix.
This is a very well designed phone. It is tough, reliable, and very high quality. I paid cash for mine, off contract, and I am happy with every penny spent.
I am eager to see what battery and performance improvement come with the Android L update.
I own both. It's a tough call. I found myself with more battery than I ever needed. The maxx display was just fine for me. Only reason I got the g3 was to do one last alternate upgrade legit. The g3 charges super fast even without smart charge 2.0.But you don't have the hardware. You don't have a 2-3 day battery for normal folks. You don't have an active display where a jiggle brings up time and notifications. You don't have active listening so that you can just talk to it many times. You don't have the fastest from thought to picture camera in the universe. And you don't have the best radios.
Other than that, cool screen on those LG's and Sam's.
