[Motorola Droid RAZR] nerdfacenyan:
Just chipping in my two cents here, if anyone wants to know.

I picked up my Razr two days ago from Verizon. I had a local carrier that did NOT work at all when I moved, and I needed a new phone. I was pretty attached to my xperia play, but not enough to buy another, plus, I wanted a 4G phone. I kinda searched around the forums at some of the others, and eliminated all but the Rezound, the Thunderbolt, and the Razr. A friend of mine had the Thunderbolt, and had good things to say about everything but the battery life, and a friend of his was absolutely in love with the Rezound. The Verizon rep, however, was absolutely in love with her razr, and gave me 100 dollars off on it, so, being cheap, I took it, opened the box, went to XDA, and realized... there are no ROMs for the CDMA Razr. Couple of seconds of freaking out, and I stumbled on droidrazr's website, and got it running with an AOKP/Axi0m kang, and then with Gummy. The device is wicked responsive, the signal quality with Verizon is second to none, and pretty much everything is perfect with the world (though I've found the device is easier to hold upside down in certain situations) I don't know of the google voice issue, unless you're talking about the voicemail integration, in which case its no issue at all, as voicemails come straight to your GV inbox. My last Moto was a Backflip, and I swore never again to Motorola.... now I'm glad I went back on it... though battery life could use a little oomph... good thing I have an external pack.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
GV is pretty easy to fix. I use it as my voicemail. Can call it by pressing 1 or open the app and listen to my VM. Sorry off topic but an easy fix
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dxearner:
I have a JVC r80bt and bluetooth streaming never has had a hiccup. Connecting and pairing happen quickly from car start- up. Perhaps it is your deck's bluetooth adapter, or bluetooth version.

On the eq, again mine is pretty spot on. I

noticed bass was a bit saturated, but eq that out.

Wifi performance never noticed issues, but ics could alter performance if they tweak hardware drivers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] biggiesmalls657:
I love this phone. I concur with these his/her people. Go buy an iphone where you dont control your software. Apple does.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Can't blame you. RAZR is the worst high-end Android phone I have ever used - and I've used a lot more than I've owned.

Given how badly Moto screwed everyone with this device - first by releasing the MAXX so quickly after the original, then by refusing to unlock the bootloaders, then by releasing a completely separate 'developer edition', and finally with the delayed release of the ICS update, I am honestly surprised there are so many Motorola apologists. Bizarre.

Even more bizarre is how much I love the Electrify I downgraded to when I couldn't stand the RAZR's terrible battery life and nasty, yellowed screen any longer. Ho-hum. At least the Chinese 4.0.4 release is pretty good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JetFixxxer:
1.) No issue with mine. I'm using poweramp. I used all of last week. I just ordered a new stereo for my car so I can stream.

2.) Haven't tried it

3.) I really don't get many calls on my phone, but use it for everything else. Battery last all day majority of the time. Once in a while I'll only make it 8-10 hours before I have to charge it.

4.) I get great WiFi (Pic was taken before I went to ICS)

5.) Running the leaked ICS. I am running ICS on my old Fascinate and my A500. was happy when I could install it on my Razr..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Oh, guys, re: bluetooth streaming, it doesn't suck. Quite the contrary. Gave it a good testing over the weekend. RAZR is one of the first phones to support apt-X, aka lossless bluetooth streaming up to ~320k. Recommend trying it with a BT4.0 headset if you've not already. Bests the One X quality-wise when using apt-X, too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nameite:
Regarding wifi, it does suck actually when you hold the phone on its lower right side.

Not sure if its a fix for it besides trying not to hold it there, quite irritating actually.

But I still love my phone, it has character
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Golgo:
Can you recommend a good 4.0 headset for music listening? I have the SE MW600 which suffers from intermittent stuttering and I'm not very impressed with the audio quality.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Should correct myself - it's Apt-X support that's essential rather than the BT revision itself.

I tried out the Samsung HS3000, which is basically a stereo BT adaptor - you plug your own 'phones in. Was good on the RAZR, better than on the One X, though neither of them are a patch on devices with Wolfson DACs, let alone the might of Voodoo Sound. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] biggiesmalls657:
If i dont touch my phone other than light stuff like texting, i get usually 2 to 3 and a half days on battery before i need to charge. I went to work for three nights the other week and didnt need to charge until the 4 th night. I work 3rd. :) plus im on modified stock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MamoriNoTenshi:
+1. I love this thing. And when i bought it 3 months ago i made a badass research. This phone just had everything i wanted AND MORE.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
I personally decided to try out the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and since then sold my Razr. Dont get me wrong, the Razr is beautiful looking, and great to hold. I loved the fact that it was water resistant as well.

But there is no comparison when it comes to the Skyrocket (or the S2 for that matter). The Dev support is great, so many flavours of ICS and GB roms and much more. The phone just feels smoother then my Razr ever was.

To be honest I have lost all faith in Moto. First Android was a Atrix, then the Razr, and now I tried Samsung. There is no comparison.

Only thing I miss is the HDMI output lol

Best device i've ever owned. I can wait for ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
The hardware itself is great.... the only downsides of this great phone are software based... BUT the real problem is that motorola doesn't care too much and due to the locked bootlader the usage of custom roms is bit limited due to lack of ability to flash custom kernel and hw acceleration (as there are no ics sources...) so we have a great device but we can't unleash its power to make it even better... :-(

I think that this ^^^^ is that what sucks most on this phone...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] _base2:
The sentiments shared regarding the bootloader, screwing us og razr owners by releasing the maxx after the 14-day return period and then the dev edition are basically my thoughts exactly. I'm giving mine to my fiancee and getting a Gnex. Can't deal with the bootloader and not having a true recovery. It'd BS.

Beautiful phone. Awesome sound and hardware overall. Best ivr ever used by s long shot. Awesome screen w durable glass and casing overall. But not worth the headache dealing with Moto's control. If you want to be told what to do with your phone, just get an iPhone.

Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it to a superuser. To my finacee, it'll be an amazing phone. But she doesn't care about root or kernels. She just wants a phone. And for that purpose, it's unparalleled at least on the Verizon.

I'd get the One X if it were on my network. That's how a phone is supposed to be made. Killer hardware AND unlockable.

[ BEWARE :: n00bs are afoot ]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MamoriNoTenshi:
Haters gonna hate... I'll stay with my razr

Because i love it.. A couple of software errors wont change my mind. I don't have any kind of problem with my wifi nor bluetooth nor not having roms or ICS yet.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] stealthmouse:
Hug. Or throw against the wall.

The frustrating thing with the RAZR is that it's solid, and with certain apps it flies. Same holds with the OS in general.

But then it has its glitches - if it were a crappy phone to begin with, that would be fine, but the glitches are deal killers, especially when you expect more. My main gripes are that battery life completely sucks. I'm saying that with bloat frozen and nothing but essential apps running, and only getting 7-8 hours, maybe a little more. No way in hell do I get 2-3 days on the battery. Of course, that makes the Maxx release timing seem like a massive screwing.

Secondly, if you're an apologist for MOT and it's "wonderful" sync with VZW, google "RAZR restart" and see how many posts you find for help for bizarre startup recycling, occurring on fully rooted RAZRs with 400 apps loaded, and brand new RAZRs that are still stock (I'll save you the trouble - it's thousands). That is a full-on recall defect IMO, which is why both Motorola and Verizon both pull the dumb look when you ask about it, meanwhile swapping your used defective phone for a new defective one, if you'll just stop asking about it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
Lol if you buy an Android phone today that doesn't have an extended battery and are on cdma, you can expect a max of 2-3 hours screen on time. Like all the other phones on the market. It last as long as all the others.

I personally bought a maxx. If I would have bought a RAZR I would have done the battery conversion. After owning probably 10 android phones and using extended batteries in all of them there is no question. They all last roughly the same. How is this a surprise after 4 years.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmraymond:
I love my Maxx. Best phone I ever owned and I have had four other Android phones before this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stunno:
I must admit to feeling less than impressed with all this at the minute.

I bought my Razr in the week it was released with the promise of ICS by Christmas, but definitely by the end of the year. In the 6 or 7 months since I bought mine they have managed to released 2 new types of Razr but still not got ICS working, this is despite all the other major manufacturers managing to do it. Judging by the leaks it is still nowhere near ready for release

Yes it's a nice phone and yes I might miss it when its gone, but I'm seriously thinking of jumping ship to the S3 when it comes out and flog mine while I still can before the Maxx comes out in the UK
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stylez:
To post above I have to agree seems moto has a history of locking things down this doesn't help regarding updates fixes and the end user, I'm wondering why this is the case when Sammy is open to developers and the help they provide to the manufacturer, HTC kinda pretended to open to developers and then messed up with updates by locking down again.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] lazsa88:
The power button of my tablet has been broken. I would like to download and delete my data before i send it to repair. Is it possible to turn on the tablet or do a factory reset without this button?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] noefects:
If you're lucky the power button hasnt snapped off from the solder lugs, from there i suppose you could remove the plastic power button and put the tablet back together and hit the button with a pencil or something and get into recovery. Unfortunately i have had 3 of these buttons break on 3 separate tablets and every time for me the power switch has completely broken off from the PCB, so data recovery was not an option.

And Lenovo, for whatever reason has deemed it easier to replace the whole mainboard by default (the power board itself is not connected to the main board at all) and upgrading you to the unrootable OTA version. and giving no option to retain customer data. though they seem to be pretty good about preserving data on Laptops and dekstops. so even if you have a nandroid backup theres no way to restore it because you cant install CWM! and no way to run any good backup software on the tablet without root! Lenovo completely lost my respect. since i lost a hundred or so hours worth of work my tab (sketchbook adobe suite) has turned into a bookend, I really hope you are able to make a backup and if not hopefully you get to keep your data, and hopefully all my *****ing and complaining towards lenovo will help somebody out :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] johnny0911:
My droid razr is soft bricked and nothing I have done is working, I know my way around adb but its no help. I basically tried to downgrade from the latest ICS leak and now im stuck in APfast boot and unable to rsd back. does anyone know what files and commands I could use in ADB to restore my phone back to either .75 or ICS for that matter.

Thanks

Johnny.

Ok.... I've seen a lot of users in many forums that want change the radio...

See HERE!!!! For european with Argentinian radio!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27649093&postcount=25

I've changed the radio on droid pro... (american)

But I didn't remember how!!

Edit...

Yes I know....! With rsdlite... Ok rsdlite can rewrite the radio. Sbf_flash no...

The American users know this thing, but for European it is a good news, because they can flash an american/argentinian sbf without changing radio.... Naturally with sbf_flash...

Flashing american on european with rsdlite will brick your phone, without changing the radio...

European on American with rsdlite will brick your phone, without changing your radio...

But if you'll use sbf flash, your phone will be glad!

You must see only if you have a locked kernel... (argentinian 2.3.6 I'm sure... for american 2.3.4, I don't know...)

Attention!!!

Argentinian gsm is 800/2100

European gsm is 900/1200

So we can understand the european's issues with argentinian rom....

I'm always sure that we must search the radio in the sbf! Not files...

I've done some steps here, only for trying...

1) Put your phone in bootloader mode

2) Start with Linux Knoppix live cd

3) Open terminal emulator from your folder where you have your sbf (i've used 2.26.20 verizon SBF..))

4) put also sbf_flash in the same folder ( you can find here:http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/search/label/sbf_flash )

chmod +x sbf_flash

then

sudo ./sbf_flash -r --bpsw 2260.sbf

Connect your phone...

Reboot and now you'll have a new radio!

[Droid Pro General] hlat:
Just tried the hack. Unfortunately I don't notice any progress.

In fact the extracted files are missing after reboot (no bp_nvm_default folder). I searched for them earlier in order to use basebandswitcher but never found them.

Maybe the whole telephony module really is emulated in java (see /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh)? But what would it mean for us?

I also tried 3 other ways yesterday without success:

- tried to flash bp.img from Blur_Version.4.7.3XT610.Verizon.en.US.zip --> status 7 error in CWM

- flash a zip containing radio.img of a european Pro+ update --> installs too fast without any noticable difference. Looks like he is ignoring the radio

- flashed JackpotCalvin's ICS rom which also includes bootmenu with a 2nd boot config only containing init.mapphone_umts.rc --> I may have done something wrong during the process but coulnd't see any difference

@any user of the US-verizon model: can you choose between more than "USA Band" when you do the following?

- dial *#*#4636#*#*

- go to "Phone Information"

- press menu softkey

- select radio band

@anyone with original european froyo: what choices do you have?

Ive seen different models (including Pro+) which always let me choose between 5-6 different basebands.
[Droid Pro General] dettofatto:
In all pro we can choose only usa band (also in european froyo...)

Try to move manually the folder bp_nvm

Or Try this...

Install a nandroid backup of original american 2.3.3 (very original!!)

then try to recive the update from verizon and install it

I don't know if this will help you or not, but I have the VZW 4.7.3 SBF file now. I just got it from a friend who pulled it from Motorola's server.

I will upload it somewhere to post publicly tonight or tomorrow when I get the chance.

do you have any files bp-nvm or similar?

we are searching the radio file...

Thank you!
[Droid Pro General] hlat:
I may have good news everyone!

After I have some issues with the 3g hack (files not showing up after reboot), I unzipped them manually. Then I changed permissions to rw-r--r-- and installed Defy+ baseband switcher to changed baseband to European (900/2100).

Since I've been mainly in areas with good signal quality the last week, I'm not a 100% sure if it really improved anything. But it feels like it!

Can someone please try this workaround for verification? The needed files are attached.

Thanks!
[Droid Pro General] dettofatto:
the right steps are?

1) Extract your I and II zips file in our pc

2) copy folder bp_nvm_default (II zip) from our pc to our phone under system/etc/motorola

3) set permissions

4) copy basebandswitcher (I Zip) from your II zip to /system/app, set permission to rw-r-r

5) Reboot

6) Open the new app

7) Or use my rom....! ;-)

it is right?

I've found that rsdlite can rewrite the radio, but sbf_flash no!

So with rsdlite you'll change the radio, but you'll brick your phone (you have a locked kernel).

With sbf_flash you'll unbrick your phone without rewrite the radio!

This steps are only for European PRO with argentinian radio and kernel (2.3.4)

1) flash this rom with rsdlite http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7i4kypar0kyg4y8

2) flash argentinian 2.3.4 with sbf_flash

3) root argentinian http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1609458

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Interesting find. Though I am disappointed at how Verizon and HTC are handling the whole incredible series. It has become a budget phone, with the qHD resolution, 1.2 GHz S4 processor and all when other phones are touting HD resolution and 1.5 GHz processors. I hope this is priced at $199 because $299 will be WAY too much for this given that it will be outclassed soon. Well, it at least has the latest processor, albeit underclocked, unlike the dinc2...
