What is the proper way to reset this phone to free up some memory or reduce the lag? On the blackberry I used to pull the battery. What should I do on an Android phone?
if your phone is lagging, its usually because you are running a lot of processes. try deleting some widgets off of your home screen, or not using a live wallpaper if you are using one. you dont (shouldnt) have to do battery pulls on android
it isnt recommended. wont brick your phone or anything, but it isnt a fix-all like it was on BB (i know, i had a curve for a year). this brings up a good question though: anyone figure out how to reboot this thing w/o powering down and powering back on?
Read some of the above posts, and also try doing a hard reset and starting fresh. Don't add all of the accounts it prompts you to add. Just add your Gmail account. See if you still experience lag at that point. Then, one by one, go in and start configuring the other accounts. During the initial sync it will be laggy while it syncs. It shouldn't be, but in my experience it was. I've yet to see an Android phone where so many people reported this, so there's clearly a firmware issue that Motorola needs to address.

It's not really a problem with being laggy, the touch screen is completely not responding to my touch. This is a different issue that the other posts are referring to.
My local store was out of X's (of course) so they are having to ship me a replacement. Luckily the lady that helped me took some time and was able to get me one sent out now and I should have it Monday. I was afraid I would have to wait until the 23rd.
Your not alone! See: http://forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-x/22809-screen-issues.html
Post#18 has some basic tweaks I did which might help with this a bit. But I haven't played nearly as much today as I did yesterday with the phone (trying to actually work today!). The only other thing I can think of is make sure to reduce or eliminate any widgets or homescreen items that auto update. For me the default news app seemed to really help the phone when I dropped it out.
