4G on Motorola RAZR stopped working?

I live in the Dallas Metro area and have the Motorola RAZR. Earlier this week my phone stopped recognizing 4G. It will only run on 3G and the battery seems to be draining quicker. I have confirmed that the network setting is on LTE/CDMA. Any advice to get it recognizing 4G again? Thanks!

Hi there Jnkmoody!
Living in a 4G LTE area having an LTE phone should = LTE access! I'm so sorry your phone isn't recognizing this access.
I double checked the area and didn't see any alerts from the 22nd until now. Are you still experiencing the problem?
Additional steps I would recommend would be powering down & removing and resinserting the sim card. Did you recently download any Task Killers, Battery Savers, or Antiviruses? If so I would attempt to remove those applications.
Keep us posted!
Thanks,

My razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

my razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

raamw,
My wife has the exact same phone and I have the razr HD (basically the same, just larger screen etc).
We have run into the same thing a few times, and as stated above by Callie I have found it is a dead battery issue. BUT unlike my previous phone (Droid incredible) that I could usually plug in, wait a few minutes, then at least turn on and use while plugged in, I have found for the M and mine it really took a bit to get it charged. Kind of like as long as there is some battery you are ok, but once it dies it takes a bit of charging.
ALSO - I am going to perhaps not use the right terms or words for this, but I THINK (emphasize think) at least once it wasn't enough to use one of the lower amp chargers. at least on mine. tried to charge and charge and didn't seem to work. Finally I took a charger that I normally need to use for my daughters tablet and use that then it had enough kick. I will note I think that was the issue.
regardless each time yes it took awhile before we could turn them on. ALSO it seemed like it took a much longer time in holding the power button down. BUT eventually they started up and we were good to go.
we love our phones, she especially loves the size of the M. BUT we have learned in the short 2-3 months we have had them, if possible, don't let the thing drain all the way. just seems to cause a bit of a hastle

Problems with getting my mediacom email address to work on my motorola razr HD

I recently upgraded my motorola droid x to a motorola Razr and am trying to get my mediacom email account to work on my new phone. I entered the information from my old phone into my new phone exactly the same and it doesn't work. Any suggestions??? These setting worked great on my droid x but not on my new droid razr I've asked both the verizon techs and the mediacom techs and no one seams to have an answer.

Firefox does not work on my new motorola razr i (XT890). Will my phone be supported soon?

Firefox does not work on my new phone, motorola razr i (XT980). When finishing the download from googlePlayStore it says, that the package is invalid. (I use the german interface, so I don't know the exact translation being used). I suppose this is because of its Intel processor. Will it be supported soon?

Yes, I have this very problem on my newly bought device too.

Why did my motorola s9-hd stop working with my iPhone 3gs?

Why did my motorola s9-hd stop working with my iPhone 3gs? I can't even be a foot away from my iPhone before my bluetooth headset losses signal. It wasn't like that before. What changed and how can it be fixed?

Sounds like you inadvertently have the Add Anchor Point tool active. Click and hold to get the full selection and choose the "regular" Pen tool at the top. (Or, just tap the P key.)

Why do I keep getting an error message that my contacts have stopped working

Sometimes, I am getting an error message that says that my contacts have quit working. Also sometimes I can't use my phone because the same error message appears when I tap the phone icon.
Turning the phone off and on again sometimes helps, other times not.
I tried a reboot, but that did not seem to make any difference.
Help? Ideas?
Thanks!

I have a similar experience with getting the message that my contacts have stopped. Here is my experience in resolving the issue.
1. Phone: Motorola RAZR MAXX HD 24 GB of 32 GB free.
2. OS; Android 4.4.2
3. Message "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped"
4. Possible cause: Contacts stops working when either Verizon Cloud or Backup Assistant try to synchronize with their respective online storage systems. Also, neither APP managed to properly identify all my contacts. Cloud only backed up 13 of over 600 contacts. Backup Assistant Plus only backup up 360 of over 600 contacts.
5. Resolution: I disabled both APPs after clearing their respective cache and data. Then I cleared the data and cache for Contacts. Assuming your have a Gmail account for your Android device, Google will repopulate your contacts from the web based email account. So, nothing is lost and no damage is done. This was my experience.
6. Lesson learned: On my phone, and perhaps others, the Cloud and Backup Assistant are corrupted, or have bugs, and produce errors which interfere with the operation of Contacts when they try to synchronize, even imperfectly. Clearing the data from Contacts, and disabling the two Verizon APPS, resulted in restoration of the Contacts function.
7. Verizon's response: Verizon technical support pronounced itself mystified by the information presented here. So far, after two days, they have not responded with either a diagnosis or a fix.
8. My Expectations: I don't really expect Verizon to do anything at this point. I do have working contacts, and they are preserved via my Gmail account, so I have a working solution. It just doesn't involve Verizon software.

ISync and Motorola RAZR

I have one of the original RAZR's and a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11. I've been using Motorola Phone Tools on a PC and syncing with Outlook without issue. When I bought my Mac, I wanted to sync with it instead. Tried exporting contacts from Outlook and importing in Address Book. No dice. Created entries from scratch. I deleted all contacts off my phone and used iSync. Many entries not copied to phone, and MANY entries in Address Book lose their numbers and addresses. I re-sync with Phone Tools to get original contacts back on my phone, and then match up entries from Address Book and phone manually. Did this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1320120&tstart=0 <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1320120&tstart=0>
Then run iSync again, and I get duplicate entries on both the phone and in Address Book. For a company that wants people to switch from PC's to Macs, this doesn't work very well.

The Verizon Wireless-supplied Motorola RAZR V3c is explicitly supported only by the latest release of iSync—version 2.2—which is a part of the Mac OS X 10.4.6 update. Prior to this release it was not, but could be used with the addition of third-party plug-ins.
However, there are three significant limitations inherent in this handset:
1. Calendar synchronization is not supported. This is a Verizon issue and may be resolved in future firmware updates from Verizon.
2. Verizon has reverted to its long-standing practice of disabling the Bluetooth OBEX profile, so that files cannot be exchanged between your handset and your Macintosh. They do this to preserve their ongoing revenue stream from pay-to-transfer options like Get it Now. Initially, this handset inexplicably did not have the OBEX profile disabled, but that 'oversight' has been 'corrected' in subsequent releases.
3. The V3c is a V CAST device, and as such, cannot be used as a CDMA wireless modem to connect to the internet. Many Verizon-supplied mobile handsets and smartphones do include a DUN [Dial Up Networking] profile, but V CAST devices do not. I mention this because the lack of DUN support may be a 'deal breaker' for Verizon subscribers like you.

HDMI stopped working on my HD DVR yet AGAIN!

I've been a FiOS Internet customer for years now and I love it! However, it's been less than a month since I signed up for FiOS TV and I'm already repenting for it. I signed up because of the "superior" HD delivered via Fiber Optics etc. Yet from the first day, the technician warned me that the HDMI will not work because of a BUG in the motorola DVR and there is no solution for it. If it works, great, if not, sorry about your luck!
Well, day 2 and the HDMI stopped working, green screen on my 61" Panasonic LCD HDTV and all kinds of messages! FiOS TV support were lame, but they came back to replace the HD DVR. I come home to find the technician replace the box with a similar defective piece and hook up the system using component for video and composite for audio! HORRORS! The sound quality had degraded beyond recognition, and the picture quality on my large screen was noticably bad.
After many hours, and many phone calls with the tech support, I was assured that Verizon/Motorola was releasing a firmware upgrade that would fix the HDMI malfunction. I waited for April 14th, (the upgrade release date) but there was nothing different. Finally, they sent another technician with a "new and improved" box that would work! No such luck. He went on to prove that my HDMI cable that had worked flawlessly with DirecTV for 2 years, was faulty. So he replaced the HDMI cable, got the box to work and was off.
Well, 2 days later, back to square one. Green screen. HDMI integrity compromised message etc. By now I was so frustrated that I was ready to cancel the stinking "superior" HD from FiOS. More phone calls, no progress. This time round they had the nerve to tell me that my TV was defective and I should contact Panasonic to figure out why HDMI does not work! Talk about shifting blame from this faulty buggy DVR to a TV that has worked flawlessly for years with DirectTV and DVD players etc.
As I read this forum and others on the net, it seems that this issue has bugged customers since 2005! Pretty much every other DVR out there is either superior or has more hard disk space than the verizon motorola box! Has anyone else here had these issues? I've tried looking at the other threads, but the forum does not allow me to reply to those so I can't find if anyone has actually seen Verizon do anything about this defective DVR nonsense. I feel I've been cheated into paying top dollar for an obsolete piece of junk. Please help if you can. A very frustrated and sitting-on-the-fence customer!

Also, blaming Mototola for the issue is not the solution to the problem. If Verizon is using Motorola DVR's and charging it's customers for those boxes, then it's Verizon's problem. Verizon should push motorola to get their crap working. I'm not a motorola customer. I'm a FiOS TV customer. As far as I'm concerned it's Verizon that's supplying us defective DVR's and causing us heartburn over the issue. It's not our job to get mororola to fix the DVR, it's Verizon's job to do that.

Very disappointed with Motorola Razr M AND VZW Run Around

I got the Motorola Razr M last December. I picked the Motorola M because it was a nice compact size without compromising screen size and Motorolas are very durable phone....or so I thought. I have had nothing but problems with this model phone. I am on my 6th replacement. I have had software problems and hardware problems. Two "certified" replacement phones have had hardware defects upon being sent out to me. The rest have had numerous software problems. Verizon has been good about sending out replacement phones since I was under my 1 year manufacturers warranty..until this week when I asked if i could get a different phone sent out since this models seems to have so many problems. I got a major run around and no follow up by a "management supervisor" who told me she would work directly with me to resolve the situation...she even gave me her direct number but ended up not being her number when I tried to call back. I am not pleased with the way VZW has decided to handle this as I have been a loyal customer for 11 years. I do blame the reps...I know they are doing their jobs with the boundaries that are set for them. I just want a phone to work for the remainder of my contract with VZW. I even tried to contact Motorola and they said since I bought the phone through VZW I had to work with VZW for replacements. SO VERY FRUSTRATING!

You have actually helped me with a decision that has been driving me crazy for the past week. I do not need nor do I want all or most of the above you mentioned. Heck I hardly use half of that stuff on my home computer or I-pad. I will definately stay with my basic phones that I can get calls, texts and take pictures. Thanks again.

Motorola RAZR verizon photo transfer to my Macbook pro, HELP

Hello. I have a Motorola Razr from Verizon. I have the USB cable hooked into my computer and the phone charges up just fine. I'm trying to access some pictures i have on the phone and am unable to get them to my Macbook Pro. I've even tried setting up the device via Bluetooth, but the i get a "Device does not have the necessary services" warning.
Is there any way I can access my photos which are on the camera and get them over to my computer??
Please help.
thanks,
andy.

Similar question. photo transfer with one of the newest Moto/Verizon phone, the Maxx. Doe it work?
Also iSync. The iSync list does not include this phone. Anyone know if I just need to wait or if the Maxx will never show up as a supported by iSync?

ISync (and BT File Exchange) Mysteriously Stop Working...

Hi there. I've been very happily syncing my Sony Ericsson Z520a with my Powerbook G4 for a while. Almost a year in fact. Now, suddenly, isync stopped being able to connect to my phone. I have checked everything I know how to check; bluetooth is enabled on both my phone and my computer and the two are able to see each other, and all the settings on my phone and my computer are the same as they were before this stopped working.
I'm getting this error:
[Z520a] Connection to the phone failed.
Please make sure that your phone is turned on. If this error occurs again, please restart your phone.
Device "Z520a" synchronization failed
At first my computer couldn't see my phone, and my phone couldn't see my computer. When this first happened and I was trying to figure out what was wrong, I noticed that the "Computer Name" in the Bluetooth System Preference pane had gone to "Not Available". Initially I tried changing the name of my computer under Sharing, but that didn't help, so I restarted the computer and the phone. Then I re-paired the two devices. They saw each other just fine after that, and when I hit sync in iSync my phone is definitely communicating with my computer (its bluetooth activity indicator says it's communicating) but I still get the above error, and nothing is being transfered between my phone and computer. When I try to Browse my phone with Bluetooth File Exchange, it tells me "The connection Failed or Closed."
So, can anyone help me? Synchronizing my phone's calendar with my iCal is a big thing for me, and I really need to find a way to make it work again.
Thanks!

Hi- I'm a Verizon customer, not Cingular but I know that Verizon purposefully cripples their phones to not allow BT file transfer... forcing you to email your pics, etc... which costs money. I would guess that maybe Cingular does the same?
As you've noticed... the Razor IS compatible with iSync... and there aren't a ton of phones that even do that, so that's a positive. I have a Motorola e815 and there ARE ways on the net to hack it to enable BT file transfer, though I'm not going to try them. Does the Razor have a memory card? I bought a memory card for my phone and I do transfers that way.
Anyway... like I said, I'm not sure that this is a Cingular issue, I'm just offering a thought since that's what I'm dealing with. You might try browsing the iSync part of the forums to find more info!

Can't make or receive calls - Motorola Razr Maxx

My wife and I can not make or receive calls on our Motorola Razr Maxx phones. We can receive and send texts. We have turned off our phones and restarted to no avail. We are in the Metro Atlanta area.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you both. I just had a chat with VZW support, and there seems to be an issue in the area. I would think the SIM card solution would work if it were just one phone, however, both my phone and my wife's have the same issue.
Thanks for the responses.

I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.

Internet Just Stopped Working

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac and cannot for the life of me get the internet to work. It just randomly stopped working and the only website I can get to load is Google. Other than that I get "You are not connected to the internet" even though under System Prefs it says my internet connection is active. I connect directly to my Motorola cable modem via ethernet and everyone else I know isn't having any problems with the service. Although this whole mess did start Friday night when they had some scheduled maintenance on the network. I am on my HP notebook currently and the internet is working fine. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for all the help everybody! BDAqua, your method worked. I couldn't get the IP address to display Apple.com but after putting the others in the DNS Servers field under System Preferences my internet began working flawlessly. I actually had tried power cycling my Mac and modem several times, Mac_Robban.
Thanks again!

Airport just stopped working

Hi Everyone,
I hopw someone has some info that might help.
I have a MacBook and PC (yuck). Both just stopped working with my Airport Extreme, and when I tried plugging the ethernet cable directly into both, nothing happened. No data was transferring.
I called my cable company and they were able to get my PC working, directly connected, but not the MacBook.
When the ethernet cable is plugged directly into the MacBook, nothing happens...no lights showing it's connected to the computer. When I connect the ethernet cable to the Airport, everything lights up, showing a connection, but I can't get the data to transfer from Airport to MacBook (or PC for that matter).
Right now, I'm hijacking someone else's wireless signal in my condo...don't really know who. So, I know my Airport card is working properly.
The tech at Brighthouse cable saod something about earthlink customers having trouble recently because of something that earthlink downloaded to them, where IP addresses wouldn't renew. I never downloaded anything, is this possible?
I'm really stumped, and frustrated because I can't connect, and it's not feasible for me to hardwire in due to the location of my cable modem. Plus, that only works with the crappy PC, and I don't want to use that.
Please, someone help...I'm desperate...and at a loss for what the problem could be!
Thank you!!!!
EDIT: I just powered up my old iBook G4, and it won't connect to my base station either
EDIT X2: I should probably add what I have already tried...I have (several times) unplugged the cable modem and Airport base station. Used Airport set up to re-set it (again, several times).

Ok MCOJerry,
Here's the scoop.
My friend called and gave me the story much like you described. Almost identical in fact.
He had called TimeWarner, who didn't come to any resolution and then referred him to Earthlink, washing their hands in the process.
A over seas tech support then spend a couple of hours, then made a call back with another tech. who also spent significant time on the phone. This time the tech reconfigured OSX a couple of times. Set up alternate location profiles, changed the DNS settings etc.
They re-assigned the IP address and forced the cable modem to init. the MAC address list. They also disconnected the Airport Extreme (the square version) connected the mac directly to the modem and forced a manual set of IP settings.
They got the mac to work with this last configuration, but of course the rest of the machines were out of luck as was the network printer.
All in all he spent six hours on the phone.
When I got 'the call' I had him give me some preliminary network stats and then had him reconnect the Airport Extreme. This yielded a dead internet connection.
So as I wrote earlier, I went over there armed with a boat load of tools & cables.
I reconfigured the mac to a normal & stable automatic type configuration. I also reset the the Airport buy pressing the reset button for 5sec. Then set up a new configuration. I made sure that the latest update was applied to the Airport extreme.
Then I logged on to the cable modem. Don't mis-understand, I did not log on to the internet through the modem. I logged on to the modem's internal web server. checked some logs and ran a couple of tests.
Then I found the problem. The real problem: The signal power level from the point of demarcation (at the pole) was so low as to be useless. Eliminating the Airport Extreme, simply removed a level of complication in the system. It also may have removed some spurious RF that may have been introduced into the network. It did not result in a resolution to the real problem.
The cable line needs to be physically repaired. Either a wet connection or a frayed shield or the line needs a booster. But the problem, which looked like a Airport extreme issue is in fact a bad cable line.
I do have him up and running on the Airport Extreme at this moment by eliminating all extraneous length from his cable line within the house. The cable modem is now located in the basement where the cable enters the house. I have an single ethernet cable running from there to the Airport Extreme. I pulled all the other electrical items from this particular power line branch (This specific circuit.) This is all temporary until the cable guy/gal arrives to fix the problem.
I hope this may help you in your trouble resolution.
