Motorola Droid Maxx 2 - User Reviews

  • I had maxx 2 device .my device is only zero imei show.my device had blocked by PTA

  • I agree, sorriest phone I have ever seen

  • my mobile not charging while power sign shows up...battery percent remains same after 24 hours of charging..bought it one month ago...help me plzz

  • In messages, go into settings and it's the first choice. Also, I have disabled the Verizon messaging app, in settings -> apps, to keep it from trying to select a different messaging app. Actually, I went through and disabled all the Verizon apps and other apps that are installed, that I didn't want to have continually updating and chewing up the internal storage. Lastly, as a weekly cleanup, I go through the apps most used, storage and clear the cache, to free up internal storage.

  • I Does It all but the down part of my screen is not sensitive again.the spare parts are not in ghana.

  • I have had this phone for 2 years now. I bought my fiance a Galaxy Note 9. I was tempted on buying one for myself. But honestly, there is nothing wrong in my opinion about this phone. This phone does what you expect it to do. I now use my phone more often as a Hotspot. Camera photos are very good. The music that comes out of the phone is also very good in stereo, which is why I bought this phone! I have dropped my phone at least half a dozen times and my screen never cracked! I honestly feel I picked a awesome phone. Especially now 2 years after dealing with the usage of this phone! I paid around $650-$700 at the time at Best Buys.

  • Use The recommended charger to charge it and you will enjoy, its very good phone.

  • Good phone....but the battery backup reduces with time.. you will have to charge it fully at night,,,,and after usage during the day...the battery will be empty at night again Camera is good...flash is not very bright the ringtone (on a full volume) as well as speaker does not exhibit high volumes Good screen quality and pixels I have seen many movies and dramas on this phone

  • It's got usb host function too

  • Take a long time for changing......tell me it's okkkk.....??????

  • Supports QC2

  • any one facing wifi frequent disconnection after nougat update

  • I hate my phone now. Messaging is a mess. It used to be simple to switch from SMS to MISS. Now they look exactly the same! How do I fix this, or understand it?? Please help. Thank you.

  • i got nougat update today thanks

  • Finally i got nougat update on my driod maxx2

  • Worst phone I've ever had. I'm on the 4th one and now it's messing up. still owe $130 on the phone

  • This was personally my first smartphone and i, of course, loved it. I have to say that my all time favorite thing was the quality of the pictures. But after having owned it for almost a year the battery life seemed to deplete dramatically. Also the mic completely stopped working unless i had the phone on speakerphone. Other than that i had no issues with the phone. Overall rate i give, a 7/10. Amazing first smartphone.

  • I agree I hate the maxx 2 am going to buy anothe droid maxx

  • this phone has the worst battery life ever the droid maxx is alot better than this !

  • Most Probably your Network Issue

  • is this is the same devide, known as moto x play in india??

  • On my second Maxx2 , has the same problem as my first one. Goes mute on my calls, I can hear who I'm talking to, but they can't hear me. So I have to go and hit the return to call in progress button, and then I can hear them, until it happens again, which it does. Junk!,

  • Nothing . Everything is same just name difference .and its really awesome phone the camera quality is like DSLR if you are using B612 camera app with some effects like venus in daylight, gaming peformance, speed etc and specially the battery timing is too good. .and display is also better than samsung and other brands even in sunlight . I'm very satisfied with this device

  • If it does it on Wi-Fi go into advanced settings there's setting that turns off wifi when screen is off, you might have that enabled.

  • I had the Droid RAZR Maxx, broke the screen, and decided to upgrade to the Droid RAZR Maxx 2. Unfortunately, the number of problems this phone has given me has been very frustrating. The swipe text rarely ever works properly, especially if you try to switch back and forth between swipe and regular texting. Although, regular text does work fine by itself as far as I can tell. Can't do anything else while on a call, as you can't use any data until you hang up. The charge is unreliable; it's a hit or miss as to whether or not it will charge at all, but even when properly charged, it dies incredibly fast once it reaches about 30%. MY phone stopped being able to read my SD card after a couple of months, so it would simply eject it immediately. Note: this may have been a bad SD card, and not necessarily the phone that's at fault. I also got an otterbox, again, not sure if it's the phone or case that's the problem, but it doesn't quite line up or something, so my button to lower the volume doesn't work, I have to push the top button, then adjust the volume on the screen. Overall, very displeased, and will be investing in another.

  • anybody tells me what is defence between moto x play and moto droid maxx 2 ?????

  • This is the most annoying phone I've owned. I don't know if it's Verizon or Moto but after the last update, this phone is much slower, apps n downloads. It also put all my apps that I've stored on my SD card back to internal storage. You cannot move any apps to the SD card anymore. So now I get msgs about the lack of internal storage. I bought this phone cuz of the reviews n camera. The camera isn't as impressive as the reviews. I'll never buy a Moto ever again after this experience.

  • good phone great prize every thing good :)

  • Problem.....!downloading stops when screen off......even i have turned on all permissions,turned off battery optimization.why is this happening even background data is unchecked.!

  • I'm on my 5th Droid Maxx 2 every single one they verify there's something wrong with the sound it's muffled there's a scratching sound and no one could hear you if you only text this phone is for you but if you actually talk to people on the phone it's hell Verizon will not let me switch out the phones until it's a recall so I'm ruined for 2 years I know two other people that have this terrible phone if you think it's anything like the Droid Maxx forget it this upgrade is nothing like the original Droid Maxx don't be fooled don't get it never deal with Motorola again they can't admit they got a bad phone

  • Not sure about the LTE band, but it only has one speaker

  • tell me ppl plz, really has LTE Band 20 (800mhz) or not? stereo (2) speakers or mono (1) ?

  • My m.card not showing

  • Best phone to use... I'm using it from 5 months! Amazing camera, huge battery, bright display, loud speakers... For rating 10/9

  • No Restart : Does Nexus 6P have restart?? NO!! (Dont know whether it has in Nougat but in 6.0.1 it does not) Moto is all about pure Android so they didnt mess with that Hotspot issue: Not the problem of the device. Its commen Icon size is large because of Google Now Launcher (a.k.a PURE ANDROID). Just use another launcher. Battery unreliably charges: I do not understand you meant

  • remove the volume key.

  • If your provider supports VoLTE - then enable it. If not - any other phone without VoLTE will stop the data and switch to call.

  • aliexpress - search for motorola x play sim card slot.

  • where can we find the SIM card slot for this phone?

  • Phone overheats. Battery unreliably charges. No data use during phone calls. Hotspot stops during every call. Icons take up too much space. No restart function. When the battery is properly charged it lasts more than a day.

  • I want to know about its loudspeaker quality. How is its sound during outdoor and I want high speaker sound like Motorola Droid Maxx. Any one reply me plz who used droid maxx 2.

  • Its not that wide but much better than grand peime

  • That was not the Droid Maxx 2, is the Droid Turbo 2 that has the shatter proof screen and it's warranteed for 4 years.

  • I have the same problem unless I put the microphone smack against my mouth it goes null.

  • When I went to Verizon they told me if you shatter the screen within 2 years of owning one you get a new replacement for free

  • I believe you are confusing this phone with the Motorola Droid Turbo 2, which is a shatterproof one.

  • This phone IS NOT shatterproof.....

  • Does it has wide angle front facing camera like Grand prime .

  • This phone is not shatterproof. Don't believe that sales pitch. I fell for it. Now I have a cracked phone and nothing is being done to make it right. My word against the salesmans.... And of course he is salesman of the year and could never make that mistake. My husband and I went on two different occasions about a week apart and we both got the same false information. Don't get me wrong, its a great phone and the gorilla glass does deter from cracks, but shatterproof it is not.

  • Why can't I find the fm radio on your device as specified.

  • yes and its the smartphone better then that s3 s4 s6 etc.....

  • Obviously yes. Check the specification and the LTE bands available in your country.

  • dont know

  • Does it support 4G LTE?

  • Today I received 6.0.1 marshmallow update. Maxx 2 is an excellent device :)

  • motorola droid maxx 2 vs motorola droid turbo which is best bettery life .... not overheat .best camera not performance plz help

  • did maxx 2 quick charger support ????????????

  • Umm, what makes you say the specs are 5 years old?

  • I would like to buy one. It is very great in hardware.

  • I have had a problem with my droid maxx 2 when I am speaking to someone their end for some reason cuts off. I can hear them they can't hear me. Called Verizon we went through several tech checks we then did a master reset no help. I do not think they know. Seems to me that as new as this phone is I got mine supposedly new on Oct 30,2015. Why would they have to send me a replacement phone in refurbished phone in like new condition. News Flash the replacement is doing the same thing.Never had trouble with Motorola before. Has anyone else noticed this.

  • Hahahahahahahahahaha bazinga idk how people think a 5yr behind tech phone is advanced its beyond my comprehension but good one sir

  • RAM is outdated by this time for such generation of phone + internal storage @ 16gb only is very minimal...wake up Motorola!!!

  • Is looks similar with moto x play

  • is it dual sim supported? as like (CDMA+GSM)?

  • Motorola is very much awake this is there affordable device smart guy

  • Can this phone work with t-mobile

  • beast

  • Go tell Apple that!!

  • Micro SD Card expansion + this isn't the flagship. Your argument is invalid.

  • This is one ugly looking phone... Motorola Moto Maxx and Motorola Droid Turbo looks a lot better than this brick.

  • RAM is outdated by this time for such generation of phone + internal storage @ 16gb only is very minimal...wake up Motorola!!!

  • It is the same phone as the moto x play. The moto x play was not officially released in the US, what we are now finding out is that they did that so verizon could have it as an exclusive

  • No 32 gb version? Is that correct ?

  • An almost uncanny copy of the moto x play, the casing looks quite a lot better though. And the price is near the same so I would choose the maxx over the play for sure. Casing of the play is a bit slippery in the hand.

  • Any one can tell us if 4G is working outside USA , especially in the middle East ?

  • this mobile is very slim and best in 20,000k because this mobile is better IPS FHD display and better Battry life...

  • what do you mean by sensors: Yes??

  • I can buy moto x play rather then this. moto x play is unlocked too

  • Very nice, tidy, Motorola design

  • This phone is copy from Moto x play!

  • It looks good but it should be at least 3GB of RAM
