The Motorola Droid X is a smartphone manufactured by Motorola Mobility, Inc. that runs the Android 2.3 software; the version of the hardware released in Mexico is called the Motorola Motoroi X. The Droid X has been distributed since July, 2010 by Verizon Wireless in the United States and Iusacell in Mexico. According to reports, the planned end of life for the Droid X, along with a related device, the Droid Incredible, was scheduled for March 31, but was not taken off Verizon's website; which means they intend to keep selling the phone. On May 19, 2011, Motorola released the Droid X2, an upgraded version that runs on the Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor.^[7]

First Generation Droid X

Description

The Droid X features a 1.0 GHz TI OMAP3630-1000 processor, a 4.3 in (110 mm) FWVGA (854 x 480) TFT LCD display, 8 GB of internal flash memory and a 16 GB microSDHC card, and is compatible with microSDHC cards up to 32 GB. When the Droid X was first released it came standard with a microSDHC card of 16 GB, but Motorola reduced the size to 2 GB. Users input data to the phone via a multi-touch capacitive touchscreen. The Droid X includes an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash and can record video at 720p resolution up to 24 fps.^[4]

History

Verizon Wireless began selling the Droid X on July 15, 2010 at an initial price of US$569 or $199 with a two-year contract commitment.^[8][3]

Iusacell released the device in Mexico as the Motorola Motoroi X on November 16, 2010.

Root access

Rooting allows the user to gain root access to the operating system, enabling full control of the phone. Root access can be gained through manual means or by 'one-click' programs.

Droid X2

Description

The second generation Droid X2 is physically similar in every respect, even sharing the same battery, except that it lacks a physical camera button. Internally, it is built around the Nvidia Tegra 2 chip with two ARM Cortex-A9 cores running at 1GHz; this SoC provides greatly enhanced graphics power. The other significant change for the X2 is the switch to a RGBW PenTile display with qHD resolution. The X2 comes standard from Verizon with an 8 GB SD card and 8 GB of internal memory. Although the major specifications of the 8 megapixel camera and 720p HD video recorder are unchanged, image quality has been improved and video is now recorded at 30 fps thanks to a revised camera sensor. ^[9][10]

While the Droid X had already been upgraded to Android 2.3 at the X2's launch, the X2 was released with 2.2 and a promise for an update to 2.3.^[11] 2.3.3 was released in batches starting on July 28, 2011, and available to pull over-the-air on August 1, 2011.^[12] Android 2.3.4 was released on October 12 to fix various bugs.

Test menu

Like many other Android devices, a testing menu can be accessed by dialing *#*#4636#*#* from the dialer application. Five options are accessible from within this menu: phone information, battery information, battery history, use statistics, and Wi-Fi information.
