Hi I currently just purchased 2 new phones in December and I was wondering what is the best way to get a razr maxx through Verizon or any way possible? I dont want to pay full price for the phone so is there any specials or anything? Any tips or feedback will help. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] flashman2002:
So you bought the Galaxy Nexus and the Rezound back in December? Your best bet is to sell one of those and use that money to buy a Razr Maxx. You will not get any deals from Vzw because you are not eligible for an upgrade and you are outside the 14 day return window.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
you can dance in the street
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joelmic:
Steal one :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
Too damn funny, steal one. Yeah I was thinking of selling the rezound but would it be easier to trade? And if I sell it where is a good place to find one? I know eBay & Craigslist but is there any other places?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxspark89xx:
Easiest "legal" way to get a Droid RAZR MAXX: Add a line.

Before I got the Maxx, I had a family plan with a total of two lines: My primary line, and a secondary line for my girlfriend.

I added a line to get the Motorola RAZR Maxx for the $299 price. An additional line at first will cost you +$9.99 (for the line) and +$30 for the required data package.

The trick is, I switched my the RAZR Maxx to my Primary line (replacing my Droid 3) which has the unlimited data still for $29.99.

THEN, in place of the RAZR Maxx, I still had a LG Voyager listed under the account (I retired it LONG ago), and the Verizon rep placed that IMEI onto the new line, eliminating the $30 per month data requirement.

So bottom line, I got the RAZR Maxx for $299 (Billed to my account) and I pay an additional $9 per month. This was the cheapest way I could get the RAZR Maxx when I was not eligible for an upgrade on any of my lines. (Even then, I still have a perfectly good Droid 3 to kick around as a backup if I ever need it. OR, I just might sell it.)

-------

Forgot to mention, Motorola is offering a buy-back program for any phone if you purchase a new Motorola device. They'll pay up to $200 to trade your other phone in, you'll just need to provide the info about your new Motorola phone at the time.

Here is the link: http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Business-Smartphones/Business-ready
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
And when you get the razr you didn't have to pay upfront, you can do payments? And what if I don't want that new line can I cancel it or is it a 2 year contract.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dccoh:
If you are buying the phone, unless you buy with a credit card, you will be paying in full. And the new line will be under contract for the 2 years.

You can cancel the contract but I believe the Early Termination Fee is $350, and is $10 cheaper each month you are in your contract.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] D.O.C:
Well, glad to see someone still got some sense of humor around here. nevertheless.......DONT LISTEN TO HIM!!! :P
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
So the phone will be billed to your next bill? And when you switch the phone to primary line do you do that yourself or have a Verizon rep do it? On the dumb phone line what do you get just talk n text?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
That is not only 9.99per month. It is 9.99+3.25 +3.25 so roughly 15 USD per month. Then 24 month you are paying 299+24x15=659. The key is :regular line you are enjoying the service but this line you are paying 15a month without using it. Good deal?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
Those 3.25 3.25 was roughly gov fees taxes and other additional stuff because of the new line. Oh I have not mention 35USD activation fee yet.

Comparing these. EBay or Craigslist become cheapest
[Motorola Droid RAZR] psychot3ch:
I got about $70 off retail and waived securety deposit going through amazon wireless with a 2 year contract. I think the same deal applies to contract extensions.

Thats the only thing I've got.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tooter1:
I bought mine off of Craigslist, around my area they go for about $500. I sold my Nexus to get this one.

The battery life is truly AMAZING! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
Do you Mind sharing some screenshots of your battery life on the maxx? And I look on craigslist in Los Angeles and they go for$550 cheapest I found.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tooter1:
I forgot to get one before charging it last night. I looked at the stats and it said something like....3 days, 14 hrs, 25 min when I went to bed. Down to 4%

What I did was not charge it when going to bed during those 3 days but plugged it up while getting dressed for work and, it would be about 50% before plugging it up, then charge about 20% before I left for work.

I would leave for work between 70 - 80% charge, it would the same amount of time before going home. Down to around 50%.

The first charge I did on it lasted over 2 days without a charge with moderate to heavy use.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Touch-ee:
$199 from Amazon Wireless as a new contract.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keepnitreel:
How come nobody ever mentions the tax associated with the extra line. My secondary line is $9.99 but with tax that suckers $15.08 a month. That's $360 for a 24 month period.

Try flashing another rom, I recommend you Vurrut Rom 4.8

You must install it in recovery mode, you already have UC Kernel so you will not have any troubles with that.

If you downloaded it directly from the vurrut rom thread then yes its correct. Yes, flash via cwm :D. Backup first, then flash, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot

keeping wifi on will really drain the battery specially if sync is on. Turn it off. You can also try poseidon rom. My battery can last up to 2 days. Then flash uc kernel.

I haven't use outlook notes but I'm pretty sure you will be able to sync it to your live account. Once you done this its accessible on your phone.

[Nokia Lumia 800] cyberizzy:
Forget Outlook notes, use OneNote instead. It's also synchronizable with WP7
[Nokia Lumia 800] McHan:
Yes, I'm aware that there are numerous alternative tools to use for notes. However I have a ton of data in Outlook Notes that I have used for a very long time. Works over all my various computers and, up till now, on my mobiles as well. One would have thought Microsoft, if anyone, would ahve had support for it...

:mad: /M
[Nokia Lumia 800] tai4de2:
There is no native support for these in WP7.

Notes were poorly supported even in Windows Mobile. For example they did not sync wirelessly over ActiveSync.
[Nokia Lumia 800] McHan:
Yes, this is true. Did synch over Activesync via cable though. And Notes still sit there in Outlook 2010, fairly prominently. Also the iPhone syncronizes them perfectly... Oh well. Thanks anyway for the replys.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
My phone froze so i did what i normally do and thats pull the battery, replace and reboot. While the phone was booting up i held down the vol key trying to not wake my girlfriend up since its quite early in the morning. Once booted back up i saw the words "safe mode" in the bottom left hand corner. Now i understand what safe mode is for the PC and have used this function many times before but i'm really not sure why and what use it would give to our HD2. Could someone shed some light on what this might be good for on a mobile phone?

I also noticed that all my downloaded apps are missing while in safe mode but after a normal reboot the safe mode disappeared and my apps restored to normal. For reference there is a picture below of what I'm talking about. I'm using the latest version of CoreDroid if anyone cares to know. I took the screenshot using DroidExplorer since i did not have any access to my downloaded apps and even after i downloaded a new screenshot app from the market it would not see it in the list or the gallery. Only after a reboot could i see and use my downloaded apps again.

On a side note while using DroidExplorer the hue of my wallpaper seemed really off. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
So I take it no one else has held down the volume button during boot? Every time it goes into safe mode. I would really like to know what use this would be on a cell phone so if anyone has any clue, please let me know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
My volume buttons got stuck once and it happened to me too, if I understood what I read correctly it is a tool to allow you to start up the phone if an app has caused it to become unresponsive. I am assuming that it is more for people developing apps to be able to start up and remove their mistakes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
This was kind of what i gathered because when you run in safe mode all user apps disappear. Well i though it would be useful if I ever made a mistake and installed something that messed my phone up but your explanation of being designed for developers makes perfect sense. Thanks!!

Hi guys,

My eee pad bricked like 2 months ago and I tried really everything and the conclusion was just wait for ICS. So thats what I did:P

Now when ICS arrived for our devices I downloaded the original files from asus.com WW and US tried both. And copied first US version to my sd card(which is fat32) and named it EP101_SPUPDATE.zip (I bought my eee pad in the us, so I thought i need us version then) And yes I copied them to the root of my SD-card. so when I booted up with volume button down I saw the recovery text and pressed vol-up and entered recovery kernel. I see a android guy with a progressbar underhim and then it jumps to an android guy(green) with an white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark inside above the android man. and then nothing happens:S (also tried this with the WW update) So my question is what to do what to do:P

Am I doing something wrong? or is there something else I can do?

P.S. I tried NvFlash alrdy. (didn't work neither) cold-booting doesn't work howver wipe-date in recovery does work!. And my device got bricked when went from revolver rom to custom and forgot to reboot when I flashed the stock asus eee pad rom.

p.s.

when I boot into recovery i see this line;

US-EPAD-8.6.5.19-20111107. Not sure what it means :P

YOURS,

Did you extract the zip file from within the file you download or did you just leave it as is?

Also try renaming the file to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip instead of EP101_SPUPDATE.zip
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
Do you still have CWM Recovery installed or did you go back to stock recovery?

If you are using CWM Recovery still I think you can just use that to flash the update.

Also, users running 8.6.5.19 and they try to update to ICS are not having any luck, but if they do a manual update to 8.6.5.21 that works, then they can update to ICS. It appears that ICS will only want to update from 8.6.5.21.

First you have to determined if you have a device that is compatible with NVFlash.

Check your serial number to see what it start with. B60 and previous you'll be OK.

Some B7O will work, B8O and newer will not work with NVFlash.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note-it:
Do you use the earphones that comes with the phone. Well, one thing is that if you use it in public, you are very disturbing to your surroundings, but another thing is that earphones are very bad for your ears, especially in relation to music. Far more younger people than ever before, have problems with their ears early on, because of overuse of in ear earphones.

My best advice is to use headphones instead, where the quality is also far better.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bassarnis:
Not trying to sound bad or anything, but i've been using earphones since portable tape recorders and disc players came out. Also, not sure what you mean by "very disturbing to your surroundings".

Being a musician myself, i use them on recordings, reversals and even during live events. They are quite useful at blocking outer noises and allow you to focus on what you want to hear, whether that is music or a specific instrument in my case.

Smoking, drinking and quite many things are "very bad" for us. Earphones are not on that list. Taking things in extremes will eventually be bad. Headphones can cause you damage in loud volumes too. When someone goes to a club and they have a 130db sub-woofer screaming in their face, it's just as bad.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darkinners:
what????????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Lakota:
The issue is not with earphones or headphones. The damage caused to one's hearing is due to the volume the sound comes out at. It doesn't matter what you have on or in your ears. You are quite right to warn that acoustic shock can damage your hearing irreparably though.

Equally, headphones can be just as polluting to those around you as poor earphones if you don't buy the right ones. I use decent (admittedly rather expensive) Sennheiser in-ear phones that don't leak a single decibel of sound to the outside world.

This is just a personal thing, but I always think people walking around with huge buckets stuck on their ears look rather daft. I much prefer in-ear phones.

Hi =)

I have an issue on my OB with Huexxx's Zeus ROM v3.2n. I can send SMS, but I can't send any MMS (but I receive).

Moreover I've verified my carrier APN, and they're good.

I've test a backup to my stock froyo, and here I can send.

Somebody could help me please ? :)
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Can you try stock GB ROM? Maybe it's a GB Rom problem. Lg is know for bugs :p

You can at least try a fixpermissions from RomManager and do a reboot and then retry. Get your APN settings again from your provider, maybe there is still a bug inside...
[LG Optimus Black] Maneth:
Nooby, i just try GB stock by Redy and it works well ! Thanks :)

But i would stay on Zeus, it's more stable and efficient, have you an idea ? Should I return on Zeus and try a fix permission with RomManager ?

Hi guys,

I had a problem with my volume button. It simply fell, and since then it`s pretty tough to use it.

So, I ask two things:

1 - Does anyone knows a good volume widget that looks like it belongs to the ICS theme? Most i found looked pretty awful on the starting screen.

2 - How can I fix the problem? I thought about using some kind of superglue, but it would simply have no flexibility to press the buttons anymore...

Thanks in advance for any help at all.
