[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=2774395]my2cents[/MENTION] you paying attention? Step Child just got a factory rebuilt phone from Verizon for free because of lousy connection issues and they want to keep him as a customer. That means if you do not get your phone right, do the same thing! Complain to Verizon tech and remind them of how much money you pay them each month. They will give you a replacement phone free just to keep you. Razrs are "old phones" and the factory rebuilds are like "Halloween Candy" they can afford to pass out to keep a customer happy. Listen up, bro!

Oh, you got a factory rebuild like me. They are really good phones. Yep, like new. No scratches, nicks or dings, new battery, and subject to a 100% full specifications test prior to release. I have done many at the Kelsey/Crest factory for professional mixing boards and power amps. We had a 35 point checklist and I will tell you, they are serious, man. The scary one was to take a whopping big power amp like for Jimmy Swaggart at Madison Square Garden and bridge it to mono mode for maximum power, and pump it full blast into dummy loads until clipping occurred (The amp could not push any more power without distortion). The dummy loads do not make sound, they are huge "soup can" resistors with fins on them to dissipate heat, each one can handle 250 watts. I would bridge 8 of them to handle 2,000 watts, just in case. Those things were screaming, man, the power was so high. 1,300 watts RMS into 8Ω. And then we had to "short circuit them" by putting a copper bar directly across the speaker terminals. THAT was scary! This would blow any amp to the Heavens in smoke and pieces, but these amps were well made. They would scream at the overload and then, just "pop" the circuit breaker. That's it. Only one piece of a full 35 point inspection. So, you got a good phone, dude. :D

Thanks for the info and the kind words. *Somebody* around here has to liven things up and make people talk or else it becomes a dreary tech forum where nothing technical means no conversations. And when people open up and talk, we learn a great deal more than if we ask a single question and are graced with a reply. ;)

Keep your phone clean. Stop the play store updates, fast check the phone for performance, backup this install for restore, and then put your stuff back, slowly, check performance between installs. Try not to restore data in Titanium Backup but it is okay for a few apps if you really need it. Use Titanium Backup to freeze system apps you do not want to see if any harm is done, a week later you can uninstall them. Back them up first, of course. Uninstall anything you do not need or will ever use. Greenify the hell out of everything. That should keep you running smooth. Make regular Safe Strap backups when a rom gets substantial updates and before updating a new build. Check here for good builds and if you try one on your own, you have a Safe Strap backup to revert to. Good luck, bra! :laugh:

Attaboy, 2¢! I see you got the message. A tip for you. Go back and copy/paste these two Step Child's posts to a text file for reference. #6248 #6250 Since his problems are similar to yours and you have put up with it for a *much* longer amount of time, Verizon tech will gladly give you a CLND phone to keep you as a customer. Put in a support ticket and demand "they fix it" because you pay so much money every month and want what you are paying for. Write down the ticket number, call back in a few days to ask what is going on with the issue. When you return the phone to Verizon, use Brian's updated Matt's Utility to wipe and install the Verizon stock rom, do not root it and quite right there. So the phone is in factory reset condition and they will toss it into a pile to be rebuilt and tested for future distribution. A win/win for everyone! The same thing happened to me a month ago, same deal, support ticket, but I had insurance so Asurion replaced the phone. Step Child has no insurance so Verizon picked up the tab to keep him happy. The replacement phone fixed me and stepchild right up, no problems anymore. :laugh:
