Yeah that would probably explain it. Any way to change it? 5 minutes doesn't do me much good.

Not a dealbreaker but a bummer if that's just the way it is.
[HTC One V] ryanlow134:
Up till now, there isn't a way yet
[HTC One V] ShAaShAy:
Yeah it only works for 5 mins, and it's due to the stock kernel. It's probably to save battery, so yeah..
[HTC One V] jetfactor:
okay... the five min timeout irked me too, but if you have go sms pro there is a workaround... well, at least for texts.

advanced settings ->notification settings ->default notification settings

near the bottom you can enable reminders. when I tested, the reminder triggered the LED as well as vibrate, or tone... and you can choose to have the screen light up again or not.

hope that helps!

I apologize if this thread is a tad redundant, but I believe it goes beyond your run-of-the-mill glitches that one might post about in the ICS Bugs thread.

I got my OTA upgrade about 10 days ago, and since then my RAZR has been utterly useless.

The biggest problem is an obvious issue with power management. With GB I used to get almost a full day of heavy use. Now I get 2 hours, 3 if I'm lucky. I often find that the phone is extremely hot, as if the processor and radios are running at 100% for no reason.

Perhaps worse than that, it takes infinitely longer to charge than it used to. As in, 5+ hours to go from 0% to 100% -- and that's while the phone is powered off. Powered on, it'll take even longer.

I've experienced issues with almost every app, and with some I've had literally no success whatsoever. Facebook freezes half of the time before even loading up. The stock Browser will freeze a few times a day. Alarm Clock Xtreme freezes whenever I try to edit an alarm. Neither the stock Gallery nor third-party image apps will load up any of my photos without freezing. Google Talk won't initiate video chats. The list goes on and on.

Moreover, the phone will often just freeze outright. Sometimes the screen won't light up, regardless of how many times I press the power button. Sometimes the phone gets stuck on the home screen, and responds to nothing. Sometimes the phone becomes unresponsive, although pressing the capacitive buttons still triggers haptic feedback. Because of this, several times a day I just hold power+down to shut it off the hard way.

At this point, I actually avoid using it. It's that useless. It's more burdensome than it is helpful. It sucks because, when it's working, everything is really smooth and the ICS interface is really cool. I can tell it would be awesome, if only it worked.

Has anyone experienced such madness as this?

FYI, I'm running:

Android version 4.0.4

System version 6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US

Baseband version CDMA_N_05.11.01PLTEDC_U_09.11.00

Kernel version 3.0.8-g29cf5e7, hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid54 #1

Build number 6.7.2-180_DHD-16_M4-31

I can't believe they would release something so unstable.

And yes I've gone into recovery and wiped the cache partition several times to no avail.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattfox27:
I admit there are some issues with the battery and heat and bugs, but i have not experienced any freezing with the stock browser or any program really, alarm clock extreme and it works for me, I don't use the Facebook app often but the few times i have, no real issues sometimes it lags trying to update. I will say thay the market SUCKS or play whatever they call it. Maybe you got a corrupt OTA file or something is wrong with your update installation. Maybe try doing a factory reset, i know that sucks to do but i do it before every OTA and im not really experiencing any of the software issues you are experiencing. If that doesn't help, root it and use the razr 1.7 utility to reinstall the system files.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
Did you try to wipe the device (factory default)? It helped in my case.

If you wana solution to some problems without wiping the phone, boot into recovery and wipe the cache, fixed my battery and a few other problems, It doesnt remove anything you have done, also it eliminated my lagg problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topsnake:
Data wipe, itll fix it. If you dont want to.do.that then root and wipe the cache and dalvik cache.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] syrnett:
This is step 1... see if this fixes it... if not, full wipe.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:

ICS is very different from GB, and Motonverizola tried really hard to get ICS to play well with existing GB cache data and GB settings. All of that stuff changed a LOT.

The problem isn't ICS: the problem is data conversion from GB to ICS.

Wipe the cache and dalvik. If that doesn't get it, then do a factory reset and set everything up again.

Mine runs for days with light use (1-3 hours a day), or a day+ with heavy use. It doesn't get hot, unless you mean that the other way. But that'd be kinda creepy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [Ramad]:
Hi

This is my first post here at this forum and I'm not a Razr user but thinking about getting the Maxx because of it's hardware and big battery which fits my usage of a smartphone, I have a Galaxy S right now.

I have looked at some of the posts and screenshots of the battery usage on the new leaked/released ICS for the Razr and read about complains about the short lived battery and the devices that overheat, well, we had the same problem when GB has been released to the Galaxy S and that is all related to the Android OS app that is using the battery because it's got into a loop, this will not get fixed unless you make Motorola aware of the problem. I could be wrong but I

think

that is related to the dalvik-machine. Android OS should be using around a single-digit of the battery of all time (3%-7%), we don't have this issue anymore since Samsung fixed this bug in the later releases of GB firmwares.

A temporary fix of the Android OS is to reboot the phone when you can see that it's hijacking the battery, this is until Motorola fixes the issue.

I wish you all good luck and hope that you will get a better firmware soon. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Team420:
Its always good practice to start fresh when accepting an update that big. Less variables = less problems.....

Id do a factory reset and start from scratch... that sux... i know, but so does a useless phone :-)

Ics def wasnt all the hype.... but its also not that bad... just gotta start clean.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] justcookiesncream:
Complete disaster? How is it a disaster compared to my update? After the update I could no longer receive text messages, Consider the fact that I send a receive hundreds of text messages per day this is honestly the biggest cause of outrage I have with a flagship that can't perform even what a Nokia 6280 could, when I finally receive texts they come in 4 hours late and worse still, in DUPLICATES and I can't seem to find any solution to this as of yet. A factory reset fixes this for an hour at best but the problem suffices after that. Does anyone have a SOLUTION to this? Honestly driving me nuts
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SimpTheChimp:
I agree with most others... do a factory reset. I always do after a major upgrade (and ICS is a major upgrade!)

Then check what apps you are putting on the machine; some cause issues. For instance, I put the new Starbucks 2.0 app upgrade on my phone yesterday - consumed battery like mad, phone ran hot (like cook-an-egg-on-it hot), runaway processes, etc. Turns out it was the new Starbucks app; after removing it the phone ran normal.

Otherwise I love ICS! So try the cache wipe; and if that doesn't help then do a factory reset and reinstall things. Takes time, but it saves in the long run.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WizeGuyDezignz:
Wow, this is crazy to hear. My update has been flawless but I did a factory reset after getting it. I bet if you did that it would fix 99% of your problems.

I also rooted after and now I'm running a cm9 rom. This is the best my phone has ever run.

Ultimately, even if you don't root you can fix most of these problems with a factory reset.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
Hold down the Home button to see what's running, download a task manager to see what's dominating the CPU. The phone won't get hot by itself, something is using up the CPU (like you said) if you don't want to factory reset you've got to figure out what it is. Rooting and setting the CPU governor to hotplug will save quite a bit in battery (shuts the 2nd core off when not needed).

I'm on a Canadian leak, the first day battery performance was terrible. By the 4th day, the battery lasted longer than GB
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iBolski:
I concur with everyone here about the factory reset.

As other's have mentioned, going from GB to ICS is a major overhaul. I've read elsewhere what this really entails and it's not pretty. Suffice it to say, I backed up all my user apps and data (using Titanium Backup), saved off all other things that were on my internal SD card just to be safe and then applied the OTA update in stock recovery, wiped data and cache and rebooted. I then rooted, installed Safestrap and flashed Eclipse ICS v1.2 RC1 and restored my apps with TiBu.

I also tried stock ROM as well and restored my apps via TiBu.

In both cases, no performance issues nor forced closes. Runs like a champ.

I'm running the latest .214 leak and my battery life has improved over .211.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisRPM2:
.214

Razr Maxx

I was having shorter battery life with the ICS .211 build and then updated to .214

My battery life is way better then it ever was with GB or ICS .211

I ran it the other day for 36hrs and 3 of it actually talking on the phone and had 20% battery life left.

It has currently been on for 4hrs 6 min and is at 90%. light email and phone use. I do have an IMAP email account that poles every 10 minutes with push for instant updates.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmaclean62:
Mine is running fine after simple reboot

I am getting great battery life and my Razr Maxx is working almost flawlessly after the ICS OTA stock update. I just rebooted it shortly after the update when it was running hot and haven't had any problems since.

If .214 is even better, great.

Looking forward to Jelly Bean to get even more from my device.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] abw1987:
Thanks for the replies everyone.

As mentioned I have tried booting into recovery and clearing the cache, but it doesn't help.

Some have suggested wiping the dalvik cache. However I don't see that as an option in the recovery menu. Do I need to root to have that option? Excuse my newness to this.

Worst case I guess I'll just have to do a factory reset :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iguanad:
Its under the advanced menu.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Be aware that this is not a universal problem. My battery life has been fine. This was with a lot of use:

If it's not a hard reset issue (it probably is), you may have an installed app that is not fully compatible with ICS. That is a known issue that causes battery drains, lag, and all sorts of problems.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueizee:
sounds lilke thats just your phone bro....ive seen many threads or post of people stating theyre issues but honestly I havent experienced one issue since i sideloaded the official OTA...not even battery issues, the only time i have issues is when i flash different ROMS, some of them have a bugs obviously but as far as being on the STOCK OTA....there really shouldnt be that many issues if any at all, so like i said, you might want to check your phone or send it off to MOTO if you cant fix the problem yourself....hope this helps some man, good luck, i hate to see people having issues with this amazing phone cause i know i sure do when i have my problems lol.....

THANK ME IF THIS POST HELPED....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keeb119:
I'm wondering if backup assistant is part oh these problems. I'm having trouble where my phone gets hot and drains battery faster then normal. And when i go to running processes, that and a media process are always running. The two media process are mediascannerservice, which always runs street a restart and downloadservice which runs randomly. I disabled the stock media app and google play app. Us there anyway to disable backup assistant so i can see if this us the case?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ScratchSF:
As many others have stated, many users have resolved similar problems with a factory reset. And I agree with comments others have shared in that Motorola tried to do their best in converting from GB to ICS. But, there are two challenges. First, it is a major OS upgrade and they cannot account for every single phone configuration, so there are bound to be some issues. Second, during the upgrade & conversion process, the phone would appear to get suck on a particular screen. If you forced your phone off, it would then appear to continue to install, but in fact it had not finished its conversion process; which some users indicated could take up to 2+ hours (although most phones only took about 15-20 minutes). So, IF you were one of the ones who thought your phone was stuck and forced it off, then I strongly recommend a factory reset.

I am one who interrupted the install because I was "stuck" for about 40 minutes. My battery life was about 3 hours. It would run hot. I couldn't get certain apps to work, while other seems to work. The keyboard was sluggish. Moving between screens was slow. Etc.. Essentially the symptoms matched yours. Now, my regular-RAZR runs great. Battery life is now all day, while on GB I had to throw it on the charger at least once during the course of the day if I wanted to listen to music on my commute home without the battery dying.

Lastly, a factory reset isn't a bad as it once was. Most of your apps will be automatically re-download from Google (assuming you downloaded them from there in the first place) and I found that even my home screen background image was restored. I did lose text messages, which I could have manually backed up. Oh well.

Good luck

Holding the Home button shows you the most-recently used apps. Not the ones that are currently running.

True, some of them may still be running, but most are not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CaFFeiNe666:
strange things, i made european update, and razr is flawless, almost perfect...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iBolski:
Even though it probably wasn't necessary since I wasn't experiencing any issues, I decided to RSD Lite the official 4.0.4 (211) fastboot files because I was running on the leaked 211 OTA.

Just as before, no issues. Pretty good battery life and pretty good performance. Nothing worse than GB. In fact, just as good if not better.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abw1987:
I don't see an advanced menu.

When the device is off and I hold power/up/down, I get these options:

Normal Powerup

Recovery

AP Fastboot

BP SBF Flash

BP Only

BP HW Diag & Boot AP

BP Tools

If I select Recovery, I get these options:

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

How can I find the option to wipe my Dalvik cache?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
You need a custom recovery to wipe dalvik cache
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abw1987:
I assume I'll need to root for this?

I prefer not to fiddle with that stuff, mainly due to lack of expertise. I guess I'll have to go straight to the factory reset option.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abw1987:
Well I bit the bullet and did a factory reset. That seems to have solved my problems. It was a pain in the ass, but at least I can put the issues behind me and move on.

I just can't believe that Motorola would push out such an unstable update. 99.9% of users will have no idea how to clear their cache, clear their dalvik cache, or do a factory reset.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
The same exact problems happened to quite a few Acer Iconia owner when we upgraded to ICS. I had to do a reset. It's not a Motorola thing, it's an ICS thing. Blame Google if you feel it's needed, but once reset, mine ran fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
Similar for Motorola Milestone's update from Eclair to FroYo, so I'd bet it could happen for every major upgrade.

Yeah, I'm sure it's as much Google's fault as Motorola's, if not more so.

To be honest, I'm not sure why I expected it to be perfect. Whenever a new version of Windows comes out, I just format my hard drive and start from scratch. (This has meant three recent installs as I tried out Windows 8 Developer Preview, Consumer Preview, and Release Preview.) I guess a mobile phone OS would be no different.

That case is branded by several (hundreds?) companies. Good design. I've been using one on a Galaxy tab 10.1 for six months. Good slim protection and holds it well.If anyone is wondering: don't get one of those cases that covers the bezel. You might not like bezel, but you'll hate those cases.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] janedoesmith:
Very first post, new to the Android and tablet scene. I had my heart set on a case that covers the bezel. Can you elaborate on your negative experience with these cases? Your insight may help me consider other types of case/cover. Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] soldeus:
From my experience, cases that cover the bezel can be really tight. So tight that it effects your ability to use the touch screen and can distort colors due to the pressure.

Clips only for me forever.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] slack04:
A few issues:

1 - thicker and heavier than other cases

2 - pain in the ass to put the tablet into and remove

3 - covers the edges of the screen from some viewing angles

4 - different light quality on the edges versus the center

5 - (this is the most important) affects your ability to interact with the touchscreen for things on the edges or for certain swipe gestures. With the nexus this will be particularly important because it has a tiny bezel on the sides.

I purchased the same case in red (I wanted black with black stitching) since it was 4.00 on Amazon with 2day free prime shipping. Mine isn't branded targus, but it is the same case but less than 1/3 the price, and without the white stitching I find so unappealing. It really is a nice case. I planned on buying this to hold me over till better cases come out, but I'm going to stick with it now.

Since this particular case is made for the fire:

No speaker cut outs, but if you have the case set in portrait stand mode, the speakers are exposed. Perfect for me. The clasp does close, you just have to bend the clasp inward. If you look in picture 5 or 6, you can see how far I bent the clasp in. It fits like a glove now.
