Motorola makes fun of getting #iLost

I just assume that the 5 will have the same reliability that the 3g/4/4s have had.

Assumptions is not the same thing as a facts. ;)

Also talking about the stability, remember that statistics says that iOS apps tends to crash three times more than Android apps (at least it was till iOS 6 since your opinion was based on the past).

Statistics or a "study" done by Crittercism which is heavily funded by Google Ventures.

So what, that doesn't prove nothing!
You only see the part about Google Ventures but you miss (or just ignoring) the part about Bob Borchers.

So what's the harm in doing a daily reboot even if Android phones need. When nothing is running reboots aren't needed in any case ...

21. Berzerk000 posted on 22 Sep 2012, 13:54 3

Which Motorola did you have? I haven't heard about any problems from any of my friends with Motorola. That includes the Droid X and X2, the Razr, Droid 2 and Droid 3. (Yes, a lot of my friends are on Verizon) One of them doesn't even want to give up her Droid X because she likes it so much. I doubt the legitimacy of your comment.

I'll agree about the camera though, Moto's cameras need work.

I do agree the X was a solid device after rooting it and a custom rom. I've had the Original Droid/2/3 and have always had the same issues requiring a reboot, because the phones would just come to a crawl and nothing could get done.

32. Berzerk000 posted on 22 Sep 2012, 14:26 1

Like I said, I haven't heard any bad things from the people I know who own those devices (though I don't know anyone who owned the original Droid). And when I used them myself they weren't too bad, they're not as snappy as my GS2, but certainly bearable; and they said they never needed a reboot.

Anyways, you shouldn't base your arguments on old devices. I certainly haven't heard of anything bad about performance from Motorola devices from anyone except for you. Also, as another PA follower (KingKurogiii) can attest to, all of Moto's devices following the introduction of the Droid Razr are pretty great thanks to their new stock-like UI and very capable hardware.

sorry I rarely need to reboot....

73. jroc74 posted on 23 Sep 2012, 06:59 1

Will agree with the camera.

The rebooting.....that one will have to disagree on. My Droid X1 did have that problem when listening to music. Havent had any daily rebooting issues since getting the RAZR in Nov 2011.

I actually didnt have that problem with my Droid 1 I got Mar 2010. The rebooting problems were probably certain Moto Android phones. And they eventually got fixed. Like this Apple Maps app will....eventually.

74. jroc74 posted on 23 Sep 2012, 07:03 1

Oh it worked......you must not remember the lame attempt by Apple trying to show other phones had the same issue.

Other phones had a Death Grip....the iPhone 4 had a Death Touch...lol. But it wasnt all Moto, lost of negative press and info caused Apple to strike back.

And Apple did give away free bumpers and redesigned the iPhone 4 antenna going forward.

I'm gonna take a guess here, though it may have sparked a little comedy, Moto's poking did not work about the antenna-gate issue as sales continued to move forward. Also the fact that the later Verizon/Sprint versions didn't experience this took the thunder from what Moto was trying to do. I would take an iPhone over the likes of a Droid X which was the phone of that time.

91. jroc74 posted on 24 Sep 2012, 00:26 0

Remember Apple gave away free bumpers?

When the iPhone was released on Sprint and Verizon.....Apple redesigned the antenna a lil.

Thats why it wasnt as bad as the iPhone 4 when it launched on AT&T. Not saying Moto alone caused those things...but Moto's poking along with the bad press Apple were getting caused the changes, bumper give aways.

I wasnt talking so much about sales....but about how Apple responded.

No Android manufacture has done that.....so why should Moto? It would be nice....but still.

84. pandambaba posted on 23 Sep 2012, 15:58 0

really? so samsung never releases the galaxy s series and a galaxy note once a year? and google never has a nexus every year? those phones are annually exclusive.. and android so..

86. jroc74 posted on 23 Sep 2012, 20:14 0

Well if thats the case...the orig Droid series is annually exclusive.

The Droid X series also falls into those Samsung release timelines....maybe off by a few months.

And Google doesnt make Nexus phones. A Nexus phone would still be an LG or Samsung or HTC or ect. phone.

i never said google makes them, but they release them as their flagship phone which they are smart to do so. and Motorola doesn't seem to realize that no one can really keep up with all the phones that they release, therefore, they are becoming less exclusive and desirable. that's all i was trying to say.

I remember how Nokia was making fun of iPhone a.k.a. "Beta Phones" in Lumia 900 Campaign. :D

76. jroc74 posted on 23 Sep 2012, 07:07 1

Really.....most problems? All I will say about that is....Galaxy Nexus.

I seriously doubt that if their phones were so bad....they would be among the best sellers.

No Android phone is problem free. Moto cant hit a hoe run every time at bat. They kinda struck out with the Bionic....but hit a home run with the RAZR. Samsung.....struck out with the G Nex....but hit a home run with the GS2 and GS3.

Still don't find it better then my Motorola Photon, just because they made it a lil faster and added .5" more screen doesn't make it a better phone. Still the same crappy boring OS as before and your still locked into apples web of features and uses for the device.

"fastest phone on earth right now"

Are you sure? What about LG Optimus G ?

77. jroc74 posted on 23 Sep 2012, 07:12 0

I think because C Net gave it that title. And really, thats great. Good for Apple. He did cover his self and say right now....lol.

The fact that the iPhone 5 cant do simultaneous talk and data like....every other LTE phone in existence.....is a fail. I mean the iPhone 4S and older could and they werent LTE. I wonder if Apple got rid of being able to do it over 3G with GSM phones. If they did......more fail. The iPhone 5 on AT&T will let us know...

I am curious about the Optimus G too..I thought that thing was a beast?
