Default Okay, so i'm on Droid X2, number 3

I thought i would share some bad experences i've had in the last 2 weeks with the DX2.

Droid #1, worked -GREAT- for about 48 hours, started randomly rebooting, then went into a non-recoverable bootloop.

Exchanged for Droid #2

Droid #2, right out of the gate would go into airplane mode all by itself, Sometimes while sitting in the multimedia dock, sometimes while txting. Took it to the store, they played with it, factory reset, and when they got done, it would not even get a 3G connection.

Droid #3 - Battery life sucks horribly, same setup as last two(apps, LWP, etc), but i only get about ~4hours battery life with moderate use, where the first two i got about 7 hours.

If i have any issues i'm going back to my Cyanogen 7 OG Droid

DONATE TO ME
I would take out back for a charge or a thunderbolt. I have this as a work phone and I have not seen anything impressive.

Ouch! You've gotten some real lemons! Battery life for me so far has been as good as with my DX, even with better performance in general. The X2 could use some improvement, but you may just want to freeze some blot, use a power management app, and/ or even get a new battery before giving up on it.

battery life is pretty amazing for me. after i solved the issues with the constant contact picture sync, my battery only loses 10% after being left alone overnight. (I pull out the charger when it is maxed before I go to sleep.)

What is going on? I got this phone a week ago and have had absolutely no problems with it. Seems like everyone here is having issues with the X2. I would say I get close to 8 hours of life with heavy use, I drove 2 hours while listening to Pandora for an hour and the FM Radio for an hour. I still had 75% afterward, and my phone was losing 3G constantly since I was driving through valleys and mountains..

Only thing that is bothering, which ahs nothing to do with the phone, is Gameloft's laziness and lack of care for the customer. None of their games work on my X2 or my Transformer...
