Verizon Addresses Droid X Display Issue

Jul 21 2010, 10:56am CDT | by Robert Evans

Yesterday we reported that some users were reporting issues with the display of the Droid X. Rapid flickering and vertical banding lead some users to turn in their phones for replacements. Now Droid-Life reports that Verizon has deigned to address the issue. Kudos to them for being speedier than Apple, at least.

"Verizon Wireless and Motorola are aware of a very small number of DROID X units that have experienced a flickering or banding display. Motorola has resolved the issue and is continuing to ship the phones. Any consumer who experiences a flickering or banding display should contact a Motorola customer support center or Verizon Wireless."

The total number of affected phones was around 1 in 1000. Now that the problem is fixed, we shouldn't hear any more about this particular issue. Unless, of course, Big Red spoke too soon.
