Verizon admits that a
Although we've been witnessing some issues plaguing some of the most recent smartphones of late, the issue affect the just launched Motorola DROID X doesn't look to be too widespread. Verizon and Motorola actually came out to address the issue which happens to be experienced by a “very small number” of DROID X handsets – it's actually affecting one-tenth of one percent of units. For those who are plagued with this nagging problem, you can essentially contact either Motorola or Verizon Wireless customer service to get a replacement. However, it's not clear if they'll receive their replacements in a timely manner or if they'll have to wait some time before receiving them. Verizon said in their full statement regarding the matter, “Verizon Wireless and Motorola are aware of a very small number of DROID X units that have experienced a flickering or banding display. Motorola has resolved the issue and is continuing to ship the phones. Any consumer who experiences a flickering or banding display should contact a Motorola customer support center or Verizon Wireless.”

I'd say it's a little harder to admit fault with the iPhone signal bars dropping then a picture of what you see above. But hey, I'm just thinking logically, I realize that's frowned upon by most of you.

Why is it harder to admit fault on the iPhones issues? It's already a PROVEN fault. The phone has problems period. Doesn't matter if it's with the screen, or battery, or anything else. Oh but wait there I go using common sense again.

Learn how to use proper capitalization your idiot. You might want to worry about that before you call other people morons.

Look who's calling the kettle black... "Learn how to use proper capitalization (your) idiot" Just saying...

25. dongdou posted on 21 Jul 2010, 15:37

Well the thing that is wrong with you comment Jogutier is that he was capitalizing in the right areas. You should really double check yourself before making yourself look dumb attempting to call someone else dumb. Use that edit button and fix it. -1

what was it 1tenth of a percent of xs had a problem we should ask steve how many of hes crapples had problems but it can be fixed with a case thats a joke shouldnt have to buy a case just to make your phone work iphone=fail

Well - that shows that the iPhone 4 isn't the only one with technical problems out there upon release (shock!). Now all we need is a bunch of youtube videos showing this issue in action, several blogs to publish about it 24\7, some independent body (like CR) to not recommend it, and a million of fanboys and haters battling with each other - and we got ourselves Displaygate.

Lol. Although Droid is a decent phone it isn't nearly as popular as iPhone so we won't see the same response. Most people don't care

6. gambino37 posted on 21 Jul 2010, 12:45

HA HA none of that will happen because Verizon and Moto have stepped up to the plate and IMMEDIATELY admitted the problem and are replacing faulty units. Thats the problem with the whole iPhone 4 fiasco. Jobs was so quick to point out what other phones had "problems like his". What he should have concentrated on was "Dang we messed up and we will do everything in our power to fix it and satisfy our loyal sheep....er customers.". At the very end of his conference was the free bumper announcement. Almost like it was something he never wanted to do but his PR guys and lawyers made him do it. Just bad business if you ask me.

I guess we'll have to see just how much financial damage this 'bad business' will cause them - because as of right now - as their CFO said - they are selling every unit they make. That means that not even one iPhone 4 is left just lying on the shelves for more than a day afaik. I am no PR expert - but I believe that Steve and all his bunch know much more about PR than all the web bloggers on the entire world wide web combined.
