Yup they said the gs3 hasnt been out 30 days the best they could do is rezound...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] recDNA:
Sounds great to me!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
I don't know then. I guess my past dealing's with them could have some thing to do with it as well. I will try and think about any thing else I may have said that helped me do the swap.

Sorry that it did not work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] angler1:
You lucky sob. Finally after 5 galaxy nexus devices verizon gave me a razr. I didn't even think of asking for the Max. Oh well I am still loving this phone. Its nice to have a phone that actually works and not a toy. Battery life is still better than the nexus. Enjoy

Lol, just realized after almost three years on this forum that was my first post.:rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tribalb:
So far 2 long complaints.. no replacement. Rep tells me some bs about flash. Gonna keep adding complaints. Then maybe a replacement. *crosses fingers*
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
I hope it works for you and I plan on updating the "how to" and try to clean it up a bit soon.

I know they will tell you BS about flash, that's when you may need to go over there heads.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] YankInDaSouth:
First, congrats on post #1 :p

They offered my the razr first, but I told the rep I purchased the spare battery / external charger for the nexus (which I did) so I could make a whole day without needing to charge. Explained I didn't think the Razr could give me that AND that getting an extra battery for it is not an option. I said I'd prefer the Maxx to get similar battery results as I was with my two Nexus batteries ... I was put on hold, she came back and said "OK sir, we are sending you a CLN Razr Maxx ...".

I am still (pleasantly) surprised they did the swap after having the GNex so long!!

I had the galaxy s3 and wasn't to impressed. I bought it from BestBuy and returned it this past Sunday. I wasnt crazy about the build quality on the S3. The paint was starting to chip on the front bezel after 3 weeks of use with a case. The battery was decent at best, but nowhere near my Razr Maxx. The screen was extremly nice. The phone was very fast and responsive.

Maybe its just me, but the galaxy S3 didnt seem like enough of an upgrade. I didnt see a nice screen, and a faster processor as the only incentive to buy a phone that i had to tweak to get me through a day, or always have to worry about losing more paint.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topher227:
I had the SGS3 for 14 days and returned it. The battery life just wasn't enough compared to my MAXX.

Thanks for this info though, my GF has a Maxx and she's had nothing but trouble with it. I may try this for her.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] smartphonedude:
Until samsung fixes there weak radios and build quality I'll stick with the maxx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] topaz330:
Success! Mine was a pretty harmless two day process. I called on Monday and got transferred up to level three tech support. I played dumb and said that my flash no longer works and that I need it for my work. I also told them that I read online that its specific to this phone. They gave some resistance and they initially offered me an early upgrade which was due in November. I told them I didn't want to use the upgrade and that I felt I was getting hurt for a problem I had no control over with the update. She then told me she would call me back once her supervisor gets out of her meeting. Of course no call but they did send one of those free verizon txts telling me that her manager was in a all day meeting and that they were all off tomorrow so she would call on wed. Today comes and no call at about 12pm so I call them and explain the situation again with the CS rep and she gets her manager to approve the change to another phone. Only thing was, was that I would have to pay for the battery and back case (who knows why) I said sure and told her the S3. I thought she would give me an issue but her next question was white or blue. After about 10mins of her typing in whatever she needed to in the system she told me the total including the battery and cover is 27 dollars. I said ok charge to the account and I now supposedly have a white s3 coming my way. Pretty harmless. Now I need to figure out how to unroot my phone with the ICS leak on it BTW I have the original razr in white.

edit: turns out it really did work. I looked at my account and its in my order history. It says its a Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB in White Certified Like-New Replacement
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mrjinglesusa:
This x1000. I will never buy a Samsung phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
That's about the same for me. I am glad it worked for you.

I hope every one with a flash player issue or what ever does this to show we will not take this BS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
I just got off the phone with tech support. Adobe flash is supported and can be installed from play.google.com

It doesn't come up in the play store app, but it will install from the website.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwheelies:
Just checked. Not there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kintwofan:
In your browser go to adobe flash website. It well redirect you to the play store download of flash. I did it last night and I have flash on my stock browser, of course not on chrome because that's a problem with chrome.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
Adobe retired the Android version of Flash Player on Aug 15th. It's officially obsolete now and no longer available from Google Play.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmraymond:
Stupid question but After my phone updated ICS Update manually downloaded the flash player 11. It says it's installed,. The question is how do I know it really works? When I pull up websites I get the flash ads that are animated. Does that mean flash works? I have hated my phone since the update, Web is painfully slow and phone freezes despite several fdr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kintwofan:
I would say if you're seeing the flash adds it worked, but I just googled flash test page and certified it worked on some of the results.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Well that's interesting. Because if you go to this page get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ it redirects you to the download of flash player from Google play. Works great on my phone and I have full flash support.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] positivehxcgo:
Please visit www.southparkstudios.com and attempt to play an episode...

Embedded flash videos do not work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kintwofan:
I can not watch full episodes, but can watch all the video clips. I also went to this site

https://student.testmasters.com/portal/online/test-flash.html that requires fish and the video plays. From my stock browser of course not from Google chrome. Either way if Verizon is letting people swap and they want to, more power to them. In very happy with my Maxx and was just trying to help some people out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] recDNA:
In the long run none of us will have flash right?

Will something replace it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kintwofan:
Ya, it will eventually be replaced by html5
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
All work fine for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] leviwg:
played dumb and it worked! kinda, i got a galaxy nexus... haha ohh well, still excited!!! thank you guys!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kintwofan:
Hope that works for you. I haven't heard good things about there radios and you've been spoiled by the Razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] leviwg:
Me too, I've heard bad things too, but I'll take it. Came with extended battery. My friend has a gnexx and loves it. Actually, my sisters bf and I think he loves the phone more than her! I'll be interested though with the unlocked boot loader!! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kintwofan:
It is an amazing phone and the radios seem to be hit or miss. I'm actually buying one tomorrow for 150 to keep as a backup. Plus you hit on it....unlocked bootloader so you can mix and match radios to find the best ones for you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xgshortbus25:
OK

Had a customer in my store today we are both on verizon him galaxy S3 and me razr maxx my 4g speed was 30.59 Mb his sitting next to mine running same time was 9.00Mb. Ill stick with Razr!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
Did you do it more than one time and did you check to see were it was pulling from?

Was this UPload or down load speed?

I get faster 4G speeds on this phone than I did the razr or any 4G phone for that matter. Now if you said any thing about call's/3G then ok, but the 4G LTE "chip" is NOT made by samsung. It is made by Qualcomm. So really it would be a samsung softwere issue or a Qualcomm hardwere issue if the 4G doe's not work right/is slow. ( Just pointing this out before every one say's it must be a Samsung 4G chip HARDWERE issue. Becuase just about every one and there bro is going to use this chip (S4 Qualcomm) this year for 4G LTE and Motorola is likely going to use it as well so yea.)

What I have seen so far is that 4G work's good, but 3g/CDMA is not as good as a razr yet and that is a issue you may need to think about.

P.S I know a sales rep for verizon and he has told me all about the "goods" you get for selling Razrs Vs any thing else so I hope you don't work at a verizon store or may think you "could" not are making this up.

I am not trying to offend any one, but I don't want any one to be missled.

Yes I know about the no sim issue as well (And that does suck by the way if you have it), but I have not had it yet and have used 2GB of data in two days. ( This will be going way up form there soon.)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] positivehxcgo:
I think I've had the best result of anyone so far- verizon is sending me a replacement RAZR maxx without the ICS update...!!!

I seriously could not be happier as I loved this phone prior to the update.

Maybe its just my ability to not need the latest and greatest... but I am much happier with this resolution as opposed to them offering me a Nexus or an S3..

That is not a success.......fyi
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pepuhz:
Was a no-go for me. The representative told me "No android devices are running flash anymore. The only way to watch the videos is to download Adobe Air". I told her that my wife phone is running flash perfectly fine and she told me "its a hit or miss with the phones" When asked what phones worked with the flash she basically said I don't know. I'll try again later. I love my Razr but strongly dislike Motorola and the SGS Has so many great features. I'll settle for a MAXX
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tribalb:
Same here after many attempts they would only replace with another razr. Not even a maxx for better battery. Sigh.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] topaz330:
update: I just received my phone today via fedex and the battery and cover via usps. I have to say after this experience I think i'm with big red for life. They really did whatever they could to accommodate me
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
The op must of got lucky because im positive this wont work for most.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
Well a lot of it likely had to deal with my past dealing's with CS and the higher ups trying to fix a really bad 4G speed issue that looked alot like throtting. ( 600kbs DL at 3am with 3-4 Bars and under 85 DBM is BS on 4G LTE.)

This will be harder to do now with flash player not on the play store any more. I know this won't last long now if they have not seeled it up yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] positivehxcgo:
How is that not a success? The RAZR Maxx is still considered a high end device... I don't think I'd be the only one who would rather keep the battery life as opposed to grabbing an S3 or a Nexus. Who in their right mind would have traded this phone for a SGS3 a few days ago? Now that the bootloader has been cracked, it may slip the SGS3 into the top phone spot, but that still leaves room for debate.

This phone on GB is still in the discussion of being the top phone on the Verizon network.

I would call verizon replacing my broken ICS phone with a new one running Gingerbread a win.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] recDNA:
Compare the price of razr maxx to nexus on ebay. That tells you which is in more demand. About 300 for a used nexus and 400 for a used maxx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] positivehxcgo:
I think the biggest misconception is the 'Play Dumb' approach.

If you are acting like you do not know what your talking about, Verizon is more likely to take the stance that you'll atleast accept their explinations and excuses as actual fact.

The reason I say this is I was up front my my dealing with verizon on Thursday.. I spoke with 17 people over a span of 7 hrs of phone time. I was upfront with all of them that I'm fairly saavy with cell phones and android technology. Many of the reps were aware that Flash is no longer being supported, to which I rebutted every time that it's only not not suppose to support Android versions starting with 4.1.0 (Jelly Bean) going forward. On 6 separate occassions I was told by Verizon that ICS does not support flash - Each time, I had to build my case and prove them wrong - it does work on almost any phone that is currently running ICS, and how the Razr is the one exception, and have heard rumors of the HTC One series also possibly having problems.

Proving you know what you're talking about to help build credibility, and it will also allow you to move high enough up the chain to speak with someone who can apply some simple logic..

On day 1 your phone worked perfectly as expected. On day 2 you get this notification of these great features and security enhancements that are coming to your phone, however the notification didn't tell you it was going to break and stop support for one of the most important features unique to the android brand. So when you trust that Verizon and Motorola know what they are doing, you would also expect them to acknowledge the mistake and inconvenience and make good on it.

Literally I was on the phone with the last guy for 10 minutes (Chris, VP of Customer Service level 4 tech) and applied this simple logic:

3 parties were involved in this transaction: Verizon, Motorola, and Myself.

Verizon and Motorlola were responsible for the update, and have provided no alternative the customer (Me) to revert back to Gingerbread to return to a satisfactory working condition. Because I am the only part of the equation which had NO reponsibility for the phone not being usable as intended, I should not be penalized.

Don't play dumb - you need to be smart and form a logical argument. Once the representative is speechless and can't defend the Verizon stance, if they aren't willing to help you, continue to ask to move up the chain.

They can't say no when they are in the wrong - WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS WRONG!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Well, they've pulled Flash from Google Play, so now, officially, NO 4G Verizon smart phone has Flash. I would have jumped to the S3 if it could still do Flash... officially... but, now it doesn't. I don't want to trade the amazing battery life for a slightly newer device with a slightly better screen that still can't play a lot of content.

I'm not happy about this, and neither should any of you be.

I talked to a tier 2 dude last night, and he acknowledged the problem. I hope they logged me complaining about this problem, as it won't be the last time I try to get this fixed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kintwofan:
Go to the adobe website here

And it redirects you to the play store downloads. I have pity inn my Razr and spyware to be working right.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
is it really that hard to backup your flash.apk and just reinstall it? problem solved. theres nothing verizon can do about this, it's a adobe decision. html will be the new standard.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

i dunno what you consider poor but when i had my maxx before it bricked i only managed to get a day to day & 1/2 out of it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Oy... First off, I have the Flash application. Motorola and Verizon broke flash video on the Razr line. Whether you have the .apk or not. This was part of the ICS upgrade. This was a Verizon/Motorola decistion. There is nothing Adobe can do about this.

And, you meant HTML5, not html. There's a huge difference.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
you know what i meant. anyways flash seems to work fine for me on ics although i don't use it alot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
Try going to the desktop youtube and play a video. Not m.youtube.com just youtube.com and it will fail on your razr with ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
This is false. The desktop version runs just fine on my xt912 with 4.0.4. One of the things the tech I talked to had me do was install Adobe AIR as well as Flash.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
"Just to be honest I would never have done this had the ICS update not broken so much stuff." Same here and I was just about all ways having issues with Razr's any way and the ICS update did it in for what I could take.

And yes I hope no one uses this just to get a new phone as well. ( I think I said this in the OP, but I may not have said it well.)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
Tbh i dont use flash enough to really care.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shangrila500:
I was constantly having issues too. Screen freezes, random reboots, complete lack of service in the middle of town where service is the strongest, I couldn't use any of the browsers on the market nor my stock browser. So many other things and nothing I did would fix it so I just gave up on the Razr, I truly loved that phone too. The build quality was outstanding, and the battery on my MAXX was amazing until the ICS update and then it was pretty much shot. I enjoyed Motorola's Blur also, there are some things I wish were on this phone. But overall I couldn't stand the failures, I paid over 700 dollars for that phone and I expected it to work. Oh well, at least Verizon stood up and did the right thing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
Unrelated but verizon may be offering me 2 free galaxy s 3's with a new contract extension. We have had some serious billing issues "verizons fault" and excecutive offices called me today to rectify. Bottom line is, it doesnt hurt these carriers to give these phones out for free. They make their money off contracts not phone sales. Good thing is i can easily make $300 off my razr if i sell it. Cha ching! ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fix-this!:
Update:

I also am getting a brand new free galaxy s 3 thursday for my billing issues. I had to renew my contract but in the end i got a free top tier device and its going to save me $20+ off my monthly bill. To say the least im happy. My razr is going to my wife. Im getting the white 16gb model. At first they offered a new iphone 4s but i declined.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eirigance:
Verified

This does work. This is how I got my RAZR. I got the Bionic :eek: & had nothing but issues, after 5 Bionics (that's right FIVE!) Verizon offered to give me a different phone. I didn't even have to ask :D So I switched my 5month old Bionic for the RAZR that had been out for only about 3weeks :good:

there's no advantage using custom XDA rom when you still have the warranty, unless Samsung doesn't give firmware upgrade anymore

What model of the Tab 2 do you have? I have the Tab 2 7" 3113 model and my external SD card still fucntions just fine after rooting and putting CM10 on it. I would take your question to the thread you got your CM10 from and post it there for help.

I have rooted my tabblet (P5100) using clockworkmod 6.0.1.0 and CM10 update 10 August.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
The sdcard might be corrupt, or it might be a problem with your tablet. Try putting it in a USB microSD reader. (they can be had for $2 online if you do some bargain hunting or $5 from radio shack--save yourself the angst of trying to mount USB storage and just buy one) It's also possible, though very unlikely, that it somehow got broken during some sort of hard reset or reboot, and you'll need a new one.)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pidgin2012:
I think that my external sd card is no problem. Because, when i boot tablet into clockworkmod recovery mode, the system still detect and read data on it. I don't understand what is the problem !!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rotundjere:
must be caused by your custom ROM,

please note almost every custom rom in XDA is developed by inexperienced wannabe hackers (some devs even doesn't have decent coding skill), & they deploy the rom without extensive testing, & they also not responsible if your devices bricked! LOL

:(
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
pidgin2012, try reformatting your external sdcard from CWM or PC.

Rotundjere, that's not entirely true. Devs will usually tell you how well a ROM works. For example, CM9 is labeled as an RC, meaning that they tested it and everything works. However, CM10 is labeled as a preview, meaning that some things may not work & you try it at your own risk. For the most part I have found custom ROM's to be more stable then their stock equivalents.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pidgin2012:
Thanks for your advise! I will try to format sd card on my PC.

The cause make external sd card failed, the reason is that Clockworkmod 6.0.1.0. Because after flash clockworkmod, i have boot tablet to original rom, the system has noticed that can not read from external sd card
