Droid x backorder????? wth??

what is going on with the backorder on the droid x?? i placed my order on 8-10 and it said online that it would be shipped by the 25th. then it was moved to the 31st and now sept 7! will i still get it by the 25th or am i going to have wait til sept 7???is anybody receiving them as we speak?

so you ordered on the 12th and estimated delivery date is the 23rd? did you order online or over the phone? Are you a new customer? And what region of the country are you in? Just curious...
thanks.

Whoa there, buddy. It's all good. Just because you see the date changing on the website does NOT mean that they keep pushing your ship date back. As each day goes by, they move the "ship by" date one day forward as well. Verizon is giving everyone a 2-week buffer to wait, due to shipments that pending from Motorola.
I ordered my Droid X on August 12th. I just received my FedEx email with tracking number today, August 19th. The delivery date is Aug. 23rd, but that's only because FedEx does not deliver on weekends, or it would be sooner. If you placed your order on August 10th, you should be receiving a FedEx email notification VERY soon. As I ordered mine two days after you did, and already received my FedEx email, I hope to God yours is on the way.
Good luck, my friend.

Droid X Backorder Confusion

I ordered my Droid X on August 6th and the site said it would ship BY August 23rd. Now the site says it will ship by August 26th. Does this mean I get mine by August 26th, or does the 23rd still stand for me? Also....what is meant by "BY"? Anyone receive theirs before the "BY" date?

yea. i think a lot of people are getting theirs before the 'by' date. my hubby ordered his on the 24th of july and he was s`posed to get it 'by' august 5th, but got it on july 28th. my mother in law ordered hers on the 27th of july with a 'by' date of august 11th`ish and got hers on august 2nd. i ordered mine on august 9th and no luck on my end so far. the sales rep was very rude and impatient, so i don`t know what my 'by' date is.

Droid 3 = no 4g = WTH?!

I have been waiting for months for a 4g phone with a physical keyboard and today I read a hands-on review of the final market version of the Droid 3 says that it will NOT have 4g?! What in heaven's name are the folks at VZW thinking? There are many of us using the Droid 1 or 2 or other Android devices with physical keyboards who have been resisting the temptation to jump to Sprint or other carriers because we have been waiting for Verizon to get on the ball and catch up with its competition in this market segment.
My Droid 1 is near the end of its life (hardware is starting to fail) and I am *NOT* going to rig up to another 2yr contract for a phone with only a virtual keyboard. Not one I have ever tried is even remotely as good as a mediocre physical keyboard. I am text and email heavy and there's no way in hell I am signing on for two years to experiment and try to adapt to Verizon's wholly inadequate device offerings.
10 years with Verizon and this may be what it comes down to. Not even so much as a leak or a hint that a 4g android phone with physical keyboard is coming may finally drive me to another carrier. And I am far from alone. Look over in the 4g forums at the two threads full of like-minded customers.
Can you hear us now? Or will it only be after we close our accounts?

Why do you want 4G? Is it even available in your area yet?   Most people I know with 4G phones have never seen a 4G signal on it...
Also, I think the main reason there is no 4G on here is because it's a CDMA/GSM worldphone. They probably don't have a chipset available yet (or maybe just recently) that does CDMA/LTE(Verizon 4G)/GSM all in one.
Also, I agree on the phys keyboard... a lot of the 'on-screen-fanboys' go on and on about who careas about 'feeling' and it's 'just as good' but many of us who really prefer phys keyboards want it for one very glaring reason.   -- It Doesn't take up SCREEN space --.    Stupid as it may be, i'm preferclty fine with an on-screen keyboard as long as it doesn't cover up the screen.
Tho I guess if you're just a snot nosed kid texting your friends in l33tsp33k all day long you don't need a phys keyboard. But if you're trying to do any actual work with your phone instead of lugging a laptop around a real keyboard is quite handy.
The keyboard on this phone is the best yet quite frankly. A dedicated number row so i'm not double-tapping all day long when I work with numbers, useful keys like the / and @ hard mapped with no double tap... \ and | available as well (double tap but hey better then having to use a remapping program like I did on the TouchPro2).

DROID: Skype, Yahoo, ETC wont stay logged on?

Ever since I got my droid, I have not been very happy with it.
I log into my skype and my yahoo messenger. I have a family member and friend deployed in afghanistan. I want to be reachable on the skype when I am not home.
I had downloaded the app killer, and was noticing that my skype and yahoo were logging off. I would go to skype to go on it, and it would log on, come back 10 minutes later, it wants to log on again! WTH!? Why doesnt it stay logged in?
Deleted the app killer, still logs off. I have 4 bars and EVDO the entire time. Why does it keep logging off!? What good is this program if it logs me off?
I tried downgrading to 2.0.1, then redid 2.1. Downloaded a leaked 2.2 to see if that worked, tried wiping the device.
This is very frustrating. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep Skype logged on? I have all the check boxes checked in the options.

I emailed Skype and they told me to delete the app, and reinstall it.
Went to the android market, Skype isnt listed. Used Verizon and Skypes text links to try to download, says the app doesnt exist.
Looks like when I tried my update to 2.2 (did this since it wasnt working on 2.0.1 or 2.1) now its not available at all. WTH!?

Delay in Shipment of Droid X

I ordered the Droid X from a Verizon store on August 1st and was told when I called customer service on the 2nd that my shipment date would be August 5th. I called today since I had received no shipment verification and was told that the shipment date has been pushed to the 23rd of August.
I am very much disappointed with the level of service provided by this company. I will never do any business with them again! Had I known or at least been told initially about the delay in shipment instead of being given false shipment dates I would of never purchased this phone. I eagerly await receiving my phone, but I don't expect to receive it anytime soon, but I do expect calling customer service everyday until I receive the item that I have already paid for.
The least they could of done is provided some incentive to Verizon customers for having them wait on receiving PAID orders instead of placing the blame on the manufacture and expecting customers to sit on their hands waiting for an item they have already paid for in full.
As soon as my contract is up with Verizon I intend to cancel my plan with them. Very bad experience! Will never do business with a group that provides false information to thier customers as Verizon!

This backorder crap is becoming rediculous, this is becoming a practice with all carriers... They under order (23 Devices per store on release day, are you serious) on the devices that they know should sale well and then tell you that you can order online with free next day delivery and recieve it in a day or two but after they took your order and your money they then report back that your order is on back order at least a few weeks and if you decide to cancel order you have to jump backwards through hoops to even get them to concider a refund.... This is exactly why I am not open to order a replacement for the volume issue because I would snap if I recieved a used unit with the same issue as the original device and possible other issues.. I paid for a new device and I do not want to trade my new device for a "Like New Device" after having device for so little time, and even better I will have to be on a backorder status to recieve a replacement, this is more reason for me to believe that the device I will recieve will be a used device not a new one.
And then to add insult to injury, they are starting to request customers to pay for device a second time to have a replacement sent out (And refunded after original device is returned) when the issue that the customer may be having is caused be the product that they bought that was flawed... I have no real complaints about my Droid X but the level of craziness dealing with the sales and replacement of this device is getting out of hand in my view.

Droid Maxx, NEW...Contacts will not back up!!

Droid Maxx, NEW...Contacts will not back up to cloud app. nor will it back up to backup assistance. I have tried for two days. Says synced but says there is no contact on device. I have like 400 contacts. WTH??

Bigdr78,
Lets make sure your contacts are safe and sound. Ann154 is correct - they will not back up to both, but the work-around you're thinking of should do the trick!

Replacement droid issue....

I got a droid 1 replacement phone from asurion 9/27. Problem: No SD card! They are on "backorder". I was assured that I would get a SD card mailed to me within 10 days. Its been about 3 weeks and nothing. My phone was lost( I had thought stolen). It was returned to me today. Another problem: Got old phone back, can't transfer SD card to active phone without losing all data on SD card. So now I have a activated phone, No SD card. And my old perfectly fine droid with SD card and all pictures and music. Hmmm.... What to do.

Hey Now.
Been there done this. Although my phone was not returned. It was in fact stole.
Anyhoots, asurion isn't interested in you sending back the replacement phone?
I would assume they would be ok with this..considering your first device was in fact returned to you and not stolen.
I would send back replacement (contact asurion first) and activate your old device, by contacting Verizon on a land line or another cell other than yours.
Good Luck.

Droid X Question?

I ordered the Droid X around 10:00 a.m. this morning. I received a conformation email, but not a tracking number. I purchased it online, which included free overnight delivery. Is it safe to say that I could be expecting the phone tomorrow? I saw the backorder on the website. I live in Tampa, FL if that helps at all.

Seriously... You have responded to every single post saying the same thing. We get it, take your phone back to the store and wait your 1 month for another Droid Incredible.
narddog, you may run into the same problems, but most have reported it was due to having a low/dead battery. After a night of charging the phones are working great for most.
I am just excited to get a new phone. I don't expect it to be perfect, but we are just now upgrading to our first smartphones. Mine might have a few issues, but the LG Envy2 I currently have is by no means perfect. Today is going to be a good day! I
The good thing is Motorola has been pretty quick about fixes for their smartphones. HTC tends to have a policy of release it and forget it.
I've owned a couple Motorola and a couple HTC over the years and the quality has definitely been on Motorola's side. Just ask the EVO owners who are having their touch screens peel away from their phones due to inferior adhesive which weakens from the phones heat.

Droid HTC Incredible Multimedia Docking Station?

I love the Motorola Droid mulitmedia docking station that is available for that phone... Does anyone know of a good system available for the Incredible? Or is there talk about them creating one? Thanks for help- Stacey

Although I would enjoy a nice "dock" station. I have a feeling that the recent or forever backorder problems changed the way this phone will be looked at forever. A phone that could have had the potential for tons of accessories was crippled by the lack of owners, and now newer and better phones are coming out for companies to make accessories for. Leaving all of us "few" owners to wonder when the cool accessories come out.
I have to believe that this phone is awesome and it's unfortunate that it never got the boost it deserves. Its still a good phone. I just can't get my hopes up when I see all these other phones coming out.
Oh well.... like I said its still good.
And i guess people are canceling Incredible orders for the X. Guess I would also. That just means even less Incred owners.

CAN ANYBODY HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi. I understand your frustration regarding your order shipping. As you may know, the Incredible is still on backorder at the moment. We are shipping out as we get them in stock. Some people may get their phone earlier depending on their location. We will notify you by email when the order is shipped. You can also go to the "Support" tab and click on "Get Status" to track in daily by putting in your order number.
Please let me know if you have any other questions
Thanks!

Droid turbo screen shattered had to buy a new phone

Within a month of getting my Droid turbo it got dropped face down on the ground. The screen was shattered. I took it into the store and was told it couldn't be fixed or replaced. Being this is on the edge plan I had to pay it off so I could get another phone. Now I hear it could've been replaced??!! WTH. I now have a galaxy s5 but not as happy with it and feel like I've been robbed. I've had nothing but issues with Verizon since. Being over charged or double charged since a payment was stated as being returned. I will only deal in cash now until I can get out of this mess. Very unhappy and not staying with this kind of service!

The Motorola Droid Turbo gets 1 free replacement for a broken screen - even if you dropped it. As long as the screen is the only broken part.
Also, the Edge plan comes with insurance. You could replace it that way also.
There was no reason for you to have to get another phone.

Verizon wouldnt let me change my order from Droid Incredible to Droid X

I had ordered a Droid Incredible a month ago later finding out that the droid x was coming out. I had cancelled the order about 2 weeks ago and got my refund back. They also told me that i could go ahead and get a droid x now. Well they told me that the day i cancelled it. The customer service rep was wrong. I cant upgrade my phone until my droid incredible order is completely cancelled through the warehouse department. Now i have to wait for my ticket to go through which will take at least 3 days or wait for my incredible phone to get to me in 4 days and have to ship it back to them and wait another week for them to cancel the order. So pretty much Verizon left out the important details of cancelling the phone. I am beyond frustrated and this is the 3rd time that verizon has screwed me over. they may have the best coverage but their customer service is horrible. i havent had a fully functioning phone in a year.

I had the incredible on order also for over a month. I ordered the X online Thursday 8:30 am and everything looked fine. About an hour later I got an automated email that said the Incredible order had to be cancelled prior to the X order being processed. It stated the process had begun but that it could take up to 72 hours.
I was a little upset about that (as how can it take 3 days to cancel on order for something backordered 2 more weeks out) after waiting so long for the Incredible already. I figured I wouldn't get my X on Friday. I responded to the email (for what it was worth) expressing my displeasure in the 72 hours thing.
Called about 8:30 pm to check status. The X order had been processed about 2:30 pm but there was no tracking information. Rep thought that was odd as it should have made the cutoff for overnight. She said it would likely ship out Friday instead.
Friday morning had a tracking email and it did indeed arrive that day.
Now it's about trying to get use to this phone - nothing like my LG flip that was 8 years old! And Droid is A LOT bigger and heavier!

Droid X...A Blackberry User's First Impressions

Hi, all,
Some of you may know me as being an avid Blackberry user from these forums. I recently was able to get my hands on a Motorola Droid X and wanted to give my impressions. My sister, who was a former Blackberry user, purchased one of the Droid Xs last week and allowed me to put it through the paces. First, the size. I was really impressed. I own an iPad Touch, which pretty much is just like a iPhone. The Droid X stood out to me because of its screen size. It is much larger than I expected. The Droid X has a very bright and colorful screen. It is not very heavy or bulky to me. I was thinking the touch screen would be like touching the Blackberry Storm, but it is not. It is just like using the iPhone or iPad Touch. Setting up email accounts was not too much of a hassel. The 3G connection was a good, fast connection for browsing the internet. The native browser is nice, although I would have liked to seen how Opera Mini 5.0 would have done on the device. WiFi worked really well. No problems connecting to a hotspot. Another big plus for the Droid X is the ability to add a SD card for storage. This is nice especially since the iPhone does not allow the user to add an SD card.
I did not get but a few minutes to play with the Droid X, but it was time well spent. I really like the touch screen on the Droid X. If you are a user wanting a good device with an "iPhone-like" screen, the Droid X is for you. I am curious, as a Blackberry user, what devices RIM will come out with in the near future to compete with the ever-growing Droid line of devices. Anyways, I just wanted to pass along a few of my impressions of the Motorola Droid X.
Doc

Thanks for the post, Doc....and welcome to the world of touchscreen interfaces !
I, myself, own an iPhone. I bought it from someone on Craig's List and I was going to jailbreak it and use a different carrier, but changed my mind. I'm a Verizon customer, so my iPhone is just a fancier iPod Touch that can't make calls. That's fine with me because I really can't stand AT&T.   From other posts in these forums, some individuals are boasting that AT&T has superior customer service over Verizon.   Too bad the same thing can't be said about their coverage. Everyone is going to experience bad customer service with just about every company out there. If it hasn't happened to you yet....it WILL.     I ordered my Droid X on 8/12, and I expect to receive it at any time between now and the end of the month.   Why am I not stomping my feet and throwing a tantrum ? Because I understand business......I understand supply and demand....and I have patience.   Yes....Verizon charged me for the phone already.   No, they haven't shipped it.....but they will.   Whether they get my money now...or when the phone is shipped...makes no difference.   Its BACKORDERED people.   Give them time.   I'm still using my LG enV Touch currently, and I can wait a little longer for my X.
The Droid X is extremely popular right now, and Verizon can't keep it in stock. People don't get their phones when they thought they would, and begin to blame Verizon for it. How can Verizon ship something they don't have ? Jump on Motorola and plead with them to ship more to Verizon.   And don't get me started on these Customer Service complaints.   So far, every customer service representative I've spoken to was honest and upfront with me. When you know that the phone is back-ordered and may not ship until 8/30....and then you believe a store employee that tells you "you'll have it in two or three days".......that's you indulging in an unrealistic expectation...and then blaming the company for it when it doesn't happen.
Now...someone on these forums may argue that the employee represents Verizon, and whatever comes out of the employee's mouth must be honored by Verizon. That's true up to a point. I signed up with Verizon and was told at the store that there would be no activation fee. When I got my bill, it had been charged an activation fee. I called Verizon and explained what happened. The customer service rep honored what the store employee told me, and removed the activation fee from my bill.     HOWEVER, when it comes to a brand new product that has clearly sold out across the country....and Verizon is jumping up and down waiting for Motorola to send more........Verizon cannot pull a "Harry Potter" by waving a magic wand and produce a Droid X just for you.....simply because a retail store employee told you that. Do you honestly believe you'll get the phone in a matter of days when the rest of the world is waiting for mid to late August ?    Don't blame Verizon in this case.   Blame the human being that misinformed you.     Someone at Customer Service lied to you ?   Don't blame Verizon. Blame the individual sitting in the call center that will tell you what you want to hear, while the supervisor is out of earshot.....just to avoid being yelled at by you.    I work in a call center.   I hear things coming out of employees' mouths that I KNOW my company does not endorse.   That's not my company's fault.   That's the fault of the genius on the headset who's gonna get FIRED when Quality Assurance monitors one of those calls.
If you're reading this, Doc.....my apologies. What was meant to be a post, welcoming you with open arms into the world of Droid, has turned into a huge rant against those with the patience span of about a nanosecond.   I've read countless posts where Customer Service is being bashed left and right. I just couldn't stand it any longer.   No.....Verizon doesn't have me in their back pocket. I've only had my account with them for a couple of months, and my impression of their company is still forming.   So far so good. Enough of the Verizon-flaming already.   You don't like Verizon ?   Go buy an iPhone.   I'll see you back on the Verizon network in about a year or two.

Thoroughly disappointed with Droid Razr

I paid a premium price less than a year ago for a LEMON of a phone -- the Droid Razr by Motorola. I have now replaced by new phone with three (3) refurbished phones because of the faculty Google operating system and poor manufacturing by Motorola, which is now owned by Google. Sorry I abandoned my old Blackberry, but I feared the RIM would not survive.

If you could explain the problem you are having, somebody here might actually be able to help you.
And FYI, the RAZR was already being designed, probably built, possibly released before Google took over. Sounds like you have some pre-determined issues with Google, which should probably be addressed to Google themselves.

HT201269 how do I transfer all my data from IOS5 iphone on to my new Droid device( Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate)Don't even ask..Lol.. not my choice. iphone was my old company phone) :0

Hello, I have a (Company owned) iPhone 4 with upgraded IOS5 installed. I have 345 pics , several videos, notes, contacts, and my favorite songs(68 of them) in there. I must return the phone to my former employer. I have purchased a new phone with an SD card capable of 8GB external storage. I also purchased an 8GB flash/thmb drive per advice of the Verizon retail store that stated they can only transfer pics/contacts and failed to even do that after a 2 hour wait. so, how do I transfer my data from old iphone to new Gallaxy S Fascinate? Please! Thanks much... Deano

You can import photos to the computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Contacts and calendar can be synced to the computer as well to a supported application. How to transfer them from there is something I don't know, unless the new device supports getting contacts from those programs. You can also sync your calendar and contacts to gmail and then you would be able to sync them to the Droid that way. songs are in iTunes and are saved on your computer if you have them added there. However they could be in AAC version which would mean you would have to convert them for the Droid. You might want to go to an Android forum, they may have information there about how to do it, since many Apple owners have switched to Android.
