That is an insane early upgrade. You went from a buggy 3g phone to one if the best lte phones on Verizon. Surprised that Verizon gave you it but congrats on the new phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
You might have to send me a PM with a list of what you did when you first got the phone. Coming from another X2 user and someone new to that device will help more then a thread where as they think you've done this before. A Noob guide to Rezound romming. It seems way more confusing then a Moto device where as I just clicked a button was rooted and then installed a rom and I was done.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Oh. My. GOD!!! The S-off for your device is more complicated than rocket science!

Thank god, I have a Dinc2... Though I must admit it would be all worth it at the end of the day! Do you have to turn two knobs at the same time, flip open the command switch and hit the red button? lol! :D
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
It's not that bad. You run a program, and plug in your phone, and and poke a hole or two with a paper clip lol
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
That wire trick makes wonder

There is something on the x2 I have ALWAYS wondered about and asked about a few times a long time ago.

When you take the battery cover off your x2, and you see the oil tab for the battery, there is a small gold switch looking thing right next to it to the left. I have on multiples occasions pressed it down using a small screwdriver lol. It goes down, it is almost like the connectors that your battery presses against. I have no idea what it is for.

But it just reminds of a switch of some type, and has always interested me to figure out what it is there for....
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Ash...

You talkin bout ground pin for the door?

You ain't workin on my car! Lol.

Edit :):p:rolleyes::cool:

.:D
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Lol

Nah

It doesn't even touch the battery cover.

I had thought it was something like that also, but the pin I'm talking about didn't get touched by anything on the battery cover.

I'll post a pic later.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I checked all round & not finding anything else I thought the worst.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Seems way too late and hardly worth it now, but I added a shout out to ashclepdia in the OP! I read the first few para's and noted a renowned character missing from the list of shout outs...

Sandso, though you weren't in the original list, I added you long back when I saw your post, which reminded me...

If what I read correctly In this its for gps

[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Hmm. I never use the battery door & no issues with anything- gps or otherwise.

So what does the pin supposed to touch? /do?
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
On my ol x2 that metal thing scratched the **** out of my door. Idi what it was but it left a mark on the inside...

Btw some one re-did my moto-devil avatar. I helped him s-off and he decided to redo it for me. Looks a lot more refined imo. My sub par Photoshop skills were shot down real fast lol plus after helping people for like 5 hrs with s-off, I pretty much doubled my thanks :D
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
The little pin I'm taking about didn't touch the battery door tho.
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
Same one. I guess mine was different. I'll post a pic later. Dont have the phone with me.
[Motorola Droid X2] kennyb6:
That's the one I'm talkin bout it does look youll have aa lil scratch on your battery door it doesn't look lik it touches it but it does

Droid X2 CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
yeah my scratch isnt that big but it is noticeable. btw my Rezzy took a BAD nose dive today :( screen has 3 huge cracks going across. thank God for insurance lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Wow that sucks, how far was the fall?

With it being rooted and unlocked how yah gonna go about getting a replacement? Through HTC OR VERIZON?
[Motorola Droid X2] lfkiter:
Well guys, my Rezound just showed up from FedEx...now time to tech out with it...if you are tired of your x2, try and call vzw and ask nicely about an early upgrade...
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
alright cool haha :p
[Motorola Droid X2] lfkiter:
Well, day 2 with the new Rezound, and so far so good. I got a Incipio case for it, and it added a bit of bulk, but I can live with it. I was sort of sad when i deactivated the x2, might just keep her and let the kids use it for games and stuff..the 2 things that impressed me the most with the rezound were the screen and the camera, which are both big upgrades from the x2...:)
[Motorola Droid X2] Bohnsta:
SCORE!!!

I did everything you said to do and my HTC Dinc2 is on it's way! The Tech Support tried to get me another X2 since I've only had 1 replacement and I kept pushing until it she gave in. Thanks Lite :D
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I wouldn't count it as a score. The Dinc2 is slow, and not even half the phone that the DX2 is, and was may well before. Also, you need to downgrade it to root it. Not very customizable without root.

I didn't so much better however. I got the Droid 3 as a replacement after 3 DX2s failed on me. The Droid 3 is easily rooted and very customizable. Also almost the same specs as the DX2. It is ugly though, and it has a hardware keyboard.

Droid 3 runs seriously nice though. Smooth and fast.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Wow I tried my hardest to get a droid3 and I've had 6 dx2's. Oh well I'm done with that phone now so I couldn't care to much now.

Sent from Xoom
[Motorola Droid X2] kingsway8605:
I have owned both phones, and the inc2 beats the x2 hands down in real use. It is the extra RAM I think.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
As a person who also owned both the DX2 and the Dinc2, I do feel that it is misguided to discredit the DInc2 without thought. While I do agree that there were some situations where the DX2 was faster I say the Dinc2 is a better device as a whole. I wish I still had my DX2 so I can compare them side by side. I sometimes wonder if the DX2 was faster in doing something I was just doing on the Dinc2. For instance, on really big websites, the Dinc2 spends some time rendering the webpage, during which period the page is blurry. I don't remember seeing something like that on the X2. But then, I never had my Launcher lagging TOOO much on the Dinc2 either, unlike the X2...

Today, I tried opening some big webpages, and once they were loaded they responded very quickly and rendered perfectly, no blurring. And due to having more RAM, it can multitask better and definitely has better music capabilities. It is definitely a better all rounder, though in some special cases the X2 may be better. Overall, I can see myself using this phone till my official upgrade date in April '13, whereas there was no way in hell I would've used the X2 till then. Sure it was a bit of a compromise to go to the Dinc2 from the X2, but a compromise worth making I believe.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Not just more ram

But omap right?

I get feeling if not optimized for tegra then issues fall in
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
Im thinking of downgrading to the dinc, having a phone that force closes a simple music playing app is not good in my book.

Wish I could at least get another daul-core though.. /: (Rezound <\3)
[Motorola Droid X2] Jayydude_SGP:
I guess I'm going to let my phone battery get REALLY low, flash a bad from get stuck on the M and call vzw for a different phone. That's what happened to my first dx2 and they said after two more replacements I'll qualify for a different model:)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
No need to risk owing them money for returning a rooted device

Just flash to stock

And call them complaining about the many issues you can find all thought this forum

Namely.music lag, performance lag, corrupted your sdcard, the list goes on
[Motorola Droid X2] lhkjohn:
Yeah just keep complaining. I went through 4 replacement devices before they offered me a Dinc2 which I declined. I kept the replacement X2 but bought a mint Bionic that I'm currently using on CL for fairly cheap to hold me over til my upgrade in feb/march

Tapatalkin' from my eclipsed BIONIC
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
oh ash! i didnt talk **** about the flyers losing yet! LETS GO DEVILS!!
[Motorola Droid X2] Jayydude_SGP:
My first one was rooted? And the second? But I will try complaining a lot then. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] DildoMaster:
Sorry if it's obvious or has been mentioned before, but by calling and complaining, the best outcome is they give you an early

upgrade

allowing you to

purchase

a new phone at a discounted price? Or that they just

give

you a new phone (Gnex would be sweet) assuming you send your DX2 back?
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I got the dinc 2 for exchange of my x2 no cost.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
There is no way they will give u a gnex to replace your x2 unless you got some serious negotiating skills and talk to exactly the right people.

You might've able to eventually switch devices after you receive the same device with the same issues across all of them (music stuttering!!!!!) They may allow early upgrade, our give you a choice of different options.

Vzw makes a LOT of decisions like this on a per account basis also I've noticed (and Assisi depending on what kind of person you get to talk to there)

Just don't be an asshole to the reps you speak with and you can usually get what you are looking for eventually, the minute you start to become rash in your attitude our word choice they might not be so nice in return
[Motorola Droid X2] DildoMaster:
Awesome. Thanks for the responses guys! Didn't think I'd get one that fast.

I have actually been successful in negotiations for quite a few things of this matter but getting a Gnexus for free would definitely top everything else I've done. In the past for other stuff I've called customer support multiple times, until I got the right agent but Verizon being a phone company, I'd assume they'll have it logged that you've called many times for the same thing. I'll probably give it a shot when I get the time and report back my experience here :).

Edit: First replacement DX2 is on it's way. Warranty expires next month.
[Motorola Droid X2] aftershock1:
Mucho thanks to litetaker for his tips on ditching the dx2. Just got my dinc2 after two dx2 waranty replacements. Trying to downgrade to get s off, but vwhk is throwing a bunch of errors. Verizon didn't supply an HTC usb cable so I'm stuck trying this with a Moto one. Fastboot and adb both work so I'm guessing the cable is whats causing all the errors. Figures... Just when I thought I was free lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] DildoMaster:
Update: Got my first replacement today, activated it and waited a few hours. Just got off the phone and they let me do an early upgrade(only been 11 months!) to a GNEX(!!!) after I complained. It's on its way but the damn $30 extra upgrade fee made it come out to $250 after tax. What do you guys think, good deal?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
First off: fantastic user name

Second: $250 might be a tad over. Subsizdized Verizon Gnexs are $199+$20+tax should put you $225-245

You have a Nexus on the way; I wouldn't even be worried.
[Motorola Droid X2] DildoMaster:
Lol thank you. Yeah I was disappointed a bit by the extra $30 (plus tax) but I know I can sell my X2 to cover at least half of the cost.

Oh and if anyone was wondering: I was very polite and nice on the phone and right before we were about to get to the "troubleshooting" of the replacement, I was trying the camera and said that it had locked up on me and I needed to pull the battery to reboot. That was the extent of troubleshooting and we moved on from there.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
$50 for an X2 on Ebay sounds horrible but thats about what you might get. I could be wrong in saying so. Someone couldve moved their device for $100 but my point is that could cover almost half of the Nexus' price. You could turn that profit into a nice hard case and some beer :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Jayydude_SGP:
A guy who got a dinc2 replacement sold his x2 for $227
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Yeah, I knew someone had gotten way more than I thought they would've when he/she sold it.

I'd assume now that the X2 is staying on 2.3 indefinitely, its value should drop some. Not to say that the chance of being updated influenced the $200+ but anyone looking from the outside is not going to like the fact that the device was given a big ol fat no from Moto.
[Motorola Droid X2] dets34:
bare with me

Okay i'm extremely fed up. I have had my DX2 for less than a year and I am now just returning my 4th DX2 (will be a total of 5 dx2s) this week for software/hardware related problems. None of this has to do with flashing roms either because the first 3 and possibly the forth i never flashed a single rom. ( mainly because i was to scared)

IM ON MY 5TH REPLACMENET!! :HEADBANG::HEADBANG::HEADBANG::HEADBANG:

I would think that they would have mentioned

something

about receiving a phone upgrade after my 2nd replacement. But it doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't want to give out a free phone after all the news about Verizon no longer offering the unlimited data plan and bottle necking 3g users.

anyways,

can anyone confirm that it is an option for me to receive and upgraded phone at no extra cost to me after 2 replacement phones? (or 5 in my case)
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I don't think they'll mention it. You should. And given that you had 5 replacements they should throw you a bone... tell them all phones had hardware issues. List them. There are so many mentioned in this thread already....

Given that you had so much trouble, I suggest you to try pushing for a 4G phone like the rezound (good phone) or something else... if not, see what they offer. If they want you to pay $50 or so for the rezound be open to it to get that option... don't pay too much though... they should honestly give it for free....
[Motorola Droid X2] dets34:
Just got off the phone. Had the most stubborn customer service rep i think verizon could offer. he didn't budge. I think he cussed ME out while mumbling his way though our conversation. ill be calling again tomorrow hopping for a nice lady.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Sorry to here that. That guys was a jerk and had no right to snub you! He must have had a bad day, probably or is just that way, in which case I doubt he's gonna stay any longer... who knows, might have been fired or was his last day! Anyway, you needn't wait till tomorrow, go ahead today itself. Play a little game I like to call the Call Center Roulette! Got a bad guy? Hang up and call again! Repeat till you hit success!!! :D:p
[Motorola Droid X2] dets34:
redialing as i type this ahaha:p
[Motorola Droid X2] DildoMaster:
Got my Gnex today!! Also sold my X2 for $180 on ebay! :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Haven't been to these forums in awhile. Sad to see people are still here especially after no ICS and no more updates. OH well, only a little more till June when hopefully SGS3 comes out. Phone looks awesome, and I usually don't say that about electronics.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Awesome name

I think that may be overpriced only for the fact is that soon their going to drop that price again. Probably $100 next month, since a lot of their phones are going down due to SGS3 coming out soon. At least thats what it looks like with the price drops. I myself was going to get a REzound or Nexus but decided to wait. That was sometime in April.
[Motorola Droid X2] ltkenbo:
No one has posted in a while but thought I would throw my 2¢ in. I call verizon and complained about my second replacement x2, they offered me other devices (none of which sounded good) so I asked about the incredible 2 and they said yes that was also an option. So they mailed me out one plus accessories. I missed the delivery today since I was at work so I had to drive 20 miles away to go pick it up at the FedEx hub downtown. Upon opening the box I find that verizon in all their intelligence sent me another droid x2 :mad: Yet the second box contained the accessories for the incredible 2 :rolleyes:

Anyways so I should get the correct phone hopefully now on Thursday.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Yeah man, thanks! Before this was bumped I actually used it today! I asked for a Dinc2 and they said that was not possible. No Incredible 2 for me. :( Oh well. They did however send me a Samsung Stratosphere without having having to upgrade. Don't know how I got a 4G model but i did! Thanks :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Triscuit:
You know what is hilarious? That when I called the other day and requested a Inc2 as well and at first they said no they didn't have any. Then.....I notified the rep that I had seen a new special on their website for Inc2 and they DID say ANY 3G phone online. So I kinda caught them in a double lie and now one day later I'm writing this from my new Inc2 lmao silly Verizon.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Haha nice. What happened to me was I actually had a rep and about 10 seconds before we got disconnected he said *I have a device I am going to offer you, it's an HTC but we'll talk about that more when you dial *228 an- CLICK. :(:(:(:(

Called back and asked if the new rep could transfer back to him....nope. *sigh*

Neither offered me any 3G device off the website :( it's pretty sweet too. No plan upgrade required, phone's free, all accessories included and free shipping. Too bad it isn't overnight. I'm going to go crazy waiting for this new phone lol

She told me that she enters my device onto her computer (droidx2) and it pops up and tells her that they no longer offer the droid x2 as a warranty replacement anymore. Then it tells her what model vzw is offering to replace it with. At first she just said I am showing 1 model available and it's a samsung. She told me it was the fascinate...a moment or two later she actually corrected herself and said "Oh I'm sorry its not the fascinate it's a the stratosphere " then she told me something the members of rootzwiki who own it dont even seem to know yet ;)

I forget how I ended up getting a 4g instead lol....long day. Hours of tech support. So many reps. It's all a blur now haha.
[Motorola Droid X2] ltkenbo:
So verizon finally sent me the new phone, but guess what, the MEID was listed as a lost/stolen device (wtf?!?!?!). Anyways I'm on the phone with a tech guy now...
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
Vzw stealing money AND phones....
[Motorola Droid X2] ltkenbo:
Lol heard. It works now, whatever.

So this phone has a sim card slot too? Is it dual radio then? I guess it is possible to unlock the gsm?
[Motorola Droid X2] Triscuit:
Yea, when I got mine, I was actually surprized to see it had a sim card, I guess it's a process BUT it can be used for GSM or CDMA. It just has to be unlocked for it to work. BTW I LOVE this Inc2, I had some issues with S-OFF but after I got that all set, it's smoooooooth sailing.
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Well i mentioned in another thread but i will say it here as well, i just scored a dinc2. Im hoping it will crush my dx2.

It was a dinc2 it of a hassle cause the i had to call them twice because the first rep i had was a retard. She tells me my phones out of warrenty and i told her "um no its not, everytime its replaced the replacement has a 90 day warrenty" she goes like "let me check on that" she put me on hold and then i hung up. I didn't want to deal with that. So the next person i get sends me to someone else who happily gave me a dinc2. And now im more then happy.
[Motorola Droid X2] Triscuit:
You're gonna like the Inc2, I went from the X2 to it and once you get S-Off which is a hassle lol its lights out from there. CPU-wise the X2 crushes it but that's about it. I have my Inc2 clocked at a little over 1.4Ghz right now with good battery life. Running AOKP ICS :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Make sure you threaten to punch them in the throat

That ALWAYS works

I mean who wants to get punched in the throat?? That **** hurts and then u can't breathe on top of it.

(Kidding, but it would be pretty funny if that's all we had to do lmfao)
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
The douches at VZW effed up a little. Well, the customer rep didn't, she was very nice. What she said was she was gonna put the request for the Dinc2 and the other request for its battery and back cover to be overnight shipping. So that I get both of them on the same day, i.e. Monday. Well, the douches at VZW warehouse/shipping facility shipped the phone on Friday, the day I called and so that would be arriving on Monday. However, they shipped the battery and back cover today, i.e. Sunday, so that would arrive on Tuesday! :mad: So even though both shipments are being shipped via standard overnight, the simpletons at the shipping center decided to stagger the shipments so I don't get them on the same day! :confused: Why? Are they just having fun and trying to piss me off? Or are they reeaaaalllly stupid? So they are spending more money on the battery shipment than usual (usually it is shipped by 2 day FedEx) and instead of taking benefit from it by shipping it on time, they nullified the advantage by shipping it late, hence throwing away the additional money and the time advantage down the drain!

<shakes_head> <face_palm> Stupid Verizon! </shakes_head> </face_palm>
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
Haha my rezound is coming Wednesday so I'm on the same waiting boat.btw Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Threaten to the bite them. No one ever sees a bite to the neck coming ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
Patience, grasshopper, patience...

;)

Congrats and good luck. I'm stuck with this one... I actually had a Samsung Continuum and went through this exact thing to receive a replacement. I was offered the DX2 and the DInc2... I took the DX2 because it's a dual core... Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! :mad: Well, my contract is up in June of 2013, so I have a while. I really don't think I will receive a second replacement... Oh well. :-/

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
Complain on Twitter and they will send you a new one...
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Hehe, lol! Well, I need to have even more patience because I missed the delivery today. I knew I was gonna miss it so I called FedEx and requested them to deliver to a neighbor and even left a post it note on the door saying the same thing. But they didn't. I was told they can't deliver to any other address other than mine on the first attempt. But they did that on Friday with my DX2 replacement!!! Oh, man! Damn it! FedEx, be consistent with your policy of breaking the rules or following them. Do any one of them!

Damn it! I guess it is not the end of the world. I just need to wait one more day and then I can play around with a better phone.. (Hibernates for 24 hours)
[Motorola Droid X2] kennyb6:
So did verizon quit sellin the x2 totally wtf?? I cant even find it on there website

Plus the inc2 is free now wit an upgrade?
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Going into Verizon this week to complain and lie my ass off. Still got that BBB complaint going. Can anyone here tell me what I should do when I bring my phone to Verizon. I figure SBF to 2.3.4, factory reset and make sure no trace of root? Anything else I'm forgetting? Thanks to everyone on here. I hope I can scam a Rezound off them XD.
