DroidX  vs iPhone 4

Currently have the iphone 4 but NOT happy with it. Dropped calls, fading out calls, incoming calls not ringing audible or vibrating mode but going directly to my voice mail. All the problems listed have been severe for my wife and I in the past two weeks. Also, we are not happy with AT&T service as many areas have NO signal to communicate. We had Verizon for many years but changed to AT&T because we wanted the new iphone 4 but what a mistake.
We are planning on returning the iphone 4 before our 30 day agreement expires for a full refund.
However, we are now interested in the new Droid X and yesterday we went to a Verizon store in Alexandria, VA and the sales lady was "horrible" with her sales information on this new phone. Once we entered the store, she approached us and asked if she could help us. We said we have the new iphone 4 and plan to return it. We are now interested in learning about the new Droid X. She replied "What would you like to know?  Geez, lady, can you pleeeeeze try and make a sale here!
Anyways, she started talking to us with her heavy accent which we couldn't hardly undestand what she was saying and then she mentioned "three things" about the Droid X and asked if we had any questions??? That was her completed sales knowledge pitch!!!
Today, we plan to go one more time to another Verizon store and hope we can find a better, more knowledgeable sales person that can tell us about this phone that we would love to learn about and most likely purchase three (3) phones for our family.
Anyone want to tell me about this new phone, we'd love to hear any information you would like to provide to us.
Thank you very much.

it does just about ANYTHING you could possibly want a device to do. if it doesn't do it with the android OS then there is an app that will do it. the biggest unresolved issue that i've seen is that there is no true hands free calling with bluetooth. this is supposed to be fixed with the 2.2 (froyo) update, which should be coming in about a month. but for now, you have to touch the phone to make a call....even with bluetooth activated. there are a FEW vehicles with stock bluetooth systems that android works with. but for the most part, you have to touch the phone to call. there wil also be a learning curve with this device. these are unlike iphones in the sense that they are completely customizable and your moto X may look and run nothing like someone who has had it for a while and installed a different texting app, keyboards, browser, homepage launcher, etc. Also, keep in mind that apple makes ONE phone so when you go into an apple store i would expect a rep to know it inside and out. verizon carries close to a dozen brands, all with multiple models. there is just NO way for the reps to know everything about their devices. so you will rely on forums like this one and the many other android forums on the web to trouble shoot and learn how to use it. i never had a smart phone until a couple months ago (i have the htc incredible...but the moto X can do the same things....and more) and now i just tell (speak) my phone where i want to go, what i want to find, what i want to text, etc....and it does it for me.

here's a head to head comp. keep in mind though, that where the iphone came out ahead (data speed, call quality, etc) in this test is, in my opinion, a rarity....because we all know about at&t's coverage. the most important thing to know about the moto x is that when you need to make a call, you can!!!

  • So I update from an old DroidX to a Iphone 5 and now I cannot get texts on my 2012 Ford Edge My Touch Sync.  I thought I was upgrading

    So I update from an old DroidX to a Iphone 5 and now I cannot get texts on my 2012 Ford Edge My Touch Sync.  I thought I was upgrading?   Before my text messages would come in and I could have them read to me as I was driving.   I can voice text messages as I am driving with Siri but now I do not receive responses.   Is there a way around this?

    Have you consulted the documentation for your car's system to see if it is compatible with the iPhone?

  • Looking for an iPhone GPS app comparable to Android

    I am getting ready to switch from my DroidX to the iPhone 4s.   The only thing that is holding me up is the GPS.  The one I have on my DroidX works great.  I can speak into the phone and say something like "Target", and it displays the nearest Target stores.  I select one, and it then gives me voice-enabled turn-by-turn directions.  If I go the wrong way, it recalculates and gives me new directions.    The maps are always up to date.  When we crossed from NY into Canada, the GPS adapted accordingly, and didn't miss a beat.
    The native iPhone GPS app doesn't seem to be as good.  I'm spoiled.  Is there a comparable GPS app that will run on the iPhone?
    Thanks!

    I'd recommend Navigon. There are different bundles (U.S. East Region, North America, etc...). . Yes, you do have to pay and it is a large file (1.7GB currently). However, updates are free. From my understanding, the Navigon app map data is stored on your phone and will work without a GPS signal. (I haven't had to use it in such a manner.) Google Maps Navigation for Android is great but a data connection is always required. And, in my experience, Navigon directions have been more accurate than Google Maps. The MapQuest app is free but ad content is visible.

  • What's up with the Iphone-5 ?

    What's up with the Iphone-5 that my wife and I just purchased? Neither one is now connecting to my WiFi Network.  All other devices in my home network work fine, including my old Droidx.  Did we just make a mistake by switching to the Iphone 5?

    I never said the devices are used concurrently.  I imagine that if they were there would be a limit.  What is being pointed out is that devices of various types, such as PSs of various manufacturers, I-Pods, I-pads, laptops of various manufacturers, gaming devices,  etc., when family comes to visit, have no issue logging in to my home Wi-Fi.  While I love Apple devices, why is it that when I buy the best and the latest I have an issue. In the end it turns out that the solution is quite simple, "before connecting to the home network, update the router software".  If this caution is there, I missed it and telling folks to re-initialize the router simply will not do it because, as was explained to me, the I-phone 5 is not compatible with "Security Encryption:WEN".  I am not a computer wiz, therefore I cannot tell you if that statement is correct, but telling people to re-boot the router will not work in this instance.

  • IPhone 5S Voice Memos

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with the voice memos.
    I am using an iPhone 5S -> iOS7, back up from iPhone 4S (the voice memos were recorded in iPhone 4S).
    Previously, my iPhone 4S had the same problem too.
    The voice memos can't be found in the iPhone VoiceMemo app, but it can be seen from iTunes > On this iPhone > Voice Memos playlist.
    The memos are greyed out in iTunes, but can be played.
    Also, the checkbox in iTunes > Music > Include Voice Memos is unchecked.
    Someone please teach me how to remove all the voice memos in my iPhone 5S and also from the iTunes.
    Thanks.

    and also why do my voice memos show up in my music - only in itunes not on iphone

  • Is there a way of getting a "schedule view" in iCal on a mac and on iPad in the same way you can get one on iPhone?

    IS there a way to get a schedule view of events on a busy day in iCal on the iPad 2 Air and on the Macbook Pro?  I can get this view on an iPhone.

    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
    If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
    Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
    Have you lost your mind?
    Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
    No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
    The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
    It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.
    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks)
    If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
    I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
    Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
    Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

  • How can I use one account on 2 Iphones?

    Hello,
    I want to use same icloud account on 2 iphones. The problem is with contacts, each iphone use different contacts and if I sync both phones with same account contacts mixes and is added from phone 1 in phone 2 and vice versa. 
    It is an option to separate the contacts and get them to each phone separately?

    If the person have 2 or many iPhones? Why does the person want to waste money?
    One iPhone can do it all.
    This is a very usual case if someone has a personal phone number and a business phone number. This is done for a number of reasons, including having a separate bill for the business number and so you can avoid taking calls on the business phone when you are technically "unavailable".
    Besides the group idea, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having two separate iCloud accounts for one's personal and business use. Just as with the phone number, the email contacts, email account, calendar, etc. can all be kept separate.

  • IPhone 3G no longer recognized by iTunes

    I don't know what happened. I haven't changed any settings on my pc. I updated my phone software to 4.0.2 last week with no apparent problems. I think I've charged on my pc since but can't remember for sure. Now when I hook to usb, it goes on and off. Like not the power, but it (the iphone) will connect and show charging and I get the windows message that the apple camera is connected and what do i want to do. then it blinks off, like shows my welcome screen, not charging. then a few seconds later it shows up again and shows to be charging. it goes through this over and over. And iTunes does not recognize the iphone, says an error occurred.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Perhaps a failing USB port (check with another device) or a failing iPhone docking cable. Could also be some debris in your docking port on the phone - have a look.

  • Cannot send email from an iPhone to a Outlook group.

    Hi,
    My question is simple and I'd like an exactly same answer : Can iPhone users send emails from their iPhone's to one or more groups created in Outlook?
    This is my situation: our organization is using iPhone to provide email, calendar, contact, task etc. to some of their employees. We are using Airwatch MDM Agent on user's iPhone because we have an Airwatch server in place. I have an user and she has an iPhone 5 and she has created some groups in Outlook but these groups are not reflected in her Contacts in the iPhone. I have update her phone with the latest update, although I was almost sure that this was not the issue, then I've found some interesting posts on internet saying that this was a known problem for the users with the previous iOS but I thought this might has been corrected with the iOS, apparently not.
    Also I've tried ''the trick'' that is posted on several forums with the iCloud but neither so it's working. I am looking for a straight answer, if this works or not on iPhone's?
    Thanks,
    Sebastian.

    There indeed ARE apps in the app store that will do what you want.  Just search and find the one that best fits your needs.
