I did disable some pre-loaded apps on my phone like Skype, NFL app, etc. I have only used 1.9 of the 3 gigs of the memory/space and the phone has the latest software version (4.2.1).
Thank you for any suggestions.
Before you do anything drastic, follow these instructions to
wipe the cache partition. You may have to try several times before you get to the Droid triage screen.
I recently upgraded from a Droid Razr (identical to the Maxx except for its pitiful battery) to a Droid Maxx (which isn't a Razr Maxx -- what was Verizon thinking?) and I couldn't be happier.
The Droid Maxx has a terrific battery, 32 GB nonexpandable memory, and a dual-core processor that can actually keep up with everything I like to do. It comes with Motorola's Migrate utility which transfers all your files, pictures and text messages from the old phone.
