What you NOT like about your DROID TURBO 2?

Overall I'm very happy with the phone and didn't realize how much I'd like having a white phone. The thing is still kind of slippery, although it is better than my T1. I'd prefer to have LG sized bezels to give a smaller phone in lieu of the big shattershield bezels. I'll risk the expense. I'd prefer startup to be silent (this is a small nitpick and applies to all phones). There should be a soft reset option without having to turn the phone off (that's a Moto problem for ever). Each Chome tab is now its own tab in the open apps? It was far better the previous way where it was all in Chrome as that open apps thing already gets too cluttered. There needs to be a button there to "close all".

You can change the way chrome handles tabs in the setting within chrome also you can close all tabs with one touch

I agree, its way too slippery. Very hard to hold and type, which is an important quality to have! Among other minor gripes, I'm returning mine for the LG V10 tomorrow.

On the battery life, Verizon should really stop advertising 48 hours. No test have shown it coming anywhere close to that. Its more like 14-18 hours with normal apps running.
 
I am really missing the IR blaster on the M8. Used it all the time with Anymote. This so far is what I not like about the T2.

This has me in a hold pattern with my G3. I don't even know where half my remotes are. The battery life and active notifications will probably make up for it, but I wish all phones had IR blasters.

People said the same with the droid maxx. I routinely got 2 days use out of it. Sometimes with light use and WiFi - 3.5 days. Depends on how you use it. A Prius doesn't get 50mpg when it's going 100mph, that's not to say people don't get that with their Prius all the time. Most of the tests are done by people using their phone quite a bit, and in that case expect a days use with a high SOT.

PS - I have no clue what a Prius actually gets.

It's definitely possible to get 48 hours on this phone with relatively light usage. If you can get 48 hours with 3-4 hours SOT, I think that petty much bonifies their claim in my eyes. This is with no wifi, 4 emails auto syncing and zero plug ins at any point in between. Not super heavy usage over 2 days by any means but nice to know I can go almost 2 days without charging if I need to.

I don't like that I can't get Metadata to display in my Dodge Charger's Uconnect screen, though I had the same issue with my Samsung Note 3. Overall I'm very happy with this phone and it's nice to have something that fits easily in my pocket again!
 
While at the store, I had the sales person show me what apps to use to download music, (MP3/music download) MP3 music download would always display "no content for (whatever song we'd search for)...also stated no search engine. She then downloaded the app she uses (music download, it's the green circle icon with the music note inside of it), it seems to allow you to download maybe 1 song and then it's like it's looping. I just bought the cell brand new from the store Friday....it's Monday :-\
