Camera on Droid Maxx

The camera quit fully working. How do I remove the camera and reinstall. The option isn't there under apps.

    ELBLowe,
Sorry to hear about the Camera application! I know this is a main function for a lot of customers.  The Motorola device is not going to have an option to fully remove the application.  However, I would locate it in the application manager and force stope/clear data.  You can go to settings>apps>camera.
Also, consider trying in safe mode.  See if your camera application will work here; http://vz.to/1g7iO9F
Let us know if this helps!

  • Compatible chargers for Droid Maxx?

    I've seen warnings that I should only use the charger that came in the box with the Droid Maxx. I'd like to know what specs I should look for when purchasing additional wall chargers and/or car chargers. I've heard that using the wrong type of charger can actually damage the battery. Is that true or will it just not charge it as fast? I have several chargers from my Droid Bionic I'd like to be able to use if possible, but I love the battery life on my new phone and don't want to damage it. Thanks!

    As long as the charger fits your phone, you are fine. Personally, I use a charger that I bought off of Amazon.com (it says Amazon.com on the charger itself) because the wire was much longer than the stock charger my Droid came with. I have used this same charger for 3 Droids now, and it works wonderfully.
    The user's manual tells you to use the charger that the phone came with in order to avoid any liability issues should you choose to go jamming the wrong charger in the phone. It's basically just to cover themselves. But you can indeed use after-market chargers that fit the charging port for your Droid.

  • My Droid Maxx randomly shutting down

    My Droid Maxx randomly shutting down. Several times a day and on full battery. Sometimes after using an app or camera, and sometimes it will just be sitting on my desk, Ill go to use it and notice it is off. I have tried hard reset, but nothing seems to work. Anyone else having this issue in the past couple of weeks since last update?

        rbuskill,
    Let's get this resolved! Please enable safe mode here http://vz.to/14eG5n8 test and share if you are still experiencing the issues. If so, please backup and complete a factory reset here http://vz.to/1xFz0Gq If not, I suggest removing applications in effort to find the root cause. Thank you.

  • Has anyone noticed that the Otterbox Defender case for the Droid Maxx is not manufactured correctly?

    After ordering 2 cases from Otterbox directly, and having to send both of them back, I called a Verizon store and had them compare the Otterbox Defender case for the Droid Maxx to the actual phone.  They were surprised to note that the hole for the camera on the case (to the left of the speaker) was on the opposite side of the camera on the phone (to the right of the speaker).  And, there is no hole for the camera's sensor on the Otterbox case.

    Then return it to an Apple Store and complain and if neccessary get your money back

  • Pre Installed Apps on Droid Maxx

    I currently use a Droid 2.  One of the issues I face is a number of pre-installed apps which I don't want, yet keep sending me alerts a few times per week looking to update them.  Of course, to update them, I must sign up for services that I don't want or need.
    I would like to upgrade to the Droid Maxx.  However, since this issue is really bugging me, I think it would be fair to ask what apps come pre-installed on the phone.  And among those apps, which cannot be deleted if I wish to?  Can someone tell me which apps are pre-installed yet cannot be deleted?  Especially those that will continually bother me about adding unwanted services?
    I figure that if I am going to upgrade, it be to a phone that doesn't nag me all the time.

    The MAXX came with many pre-installed apps, but not the ones you have mentioned. Cloud is on mine, but I never use it, and it's never bothered me to do anything with it. The pre-installed apps on the MAXX are:

    Out of these 50 pre-installed apps, not one has bugged me yet. You can always "Disable" pre-installed apps by going to Settings / Apps / (choose app) / Disable.
    Better than that, if you want to keep the app, but never be updated, Go to Settings / Active Notifications / Manage Notification Types. You can manually select which apps you would like to notify you, and which ones you would rather just sit there and look pretty. You can also hide notification details when using PIN or password lock. You can also select to have the phone sleep at night (silence notifications) so nothing will bother you while you sleep.
    If you're worried about your location access, you're kinda out of luck in today's world. All smartphones are GPS-equipped. If you are downloading an app which requires "Full Network Access", decide whether or not this app really DOES need full network access. Say it's Weatherbug, for instance...Weatherbug's developers are trustworthy, and the app uses your location information to give you accurate weather forecasts. Now say you're downloading an app that provides wallpapers. This type of app seriously doesn't need full network access to function, so it would be up to you at that point whether or not you trust the developer.
    Hope this helped!

  • Droid Maxx Won't Forget WiFi Network

    Hey all,
    I just upgraded to a new Droid Maxx and I'm running into a frustrating problem.  I configured a wireless network at the office (a limited guest network) and connected to it just fine.  I then got connected to the full permission WiFi network and I decided to drop the guest network.  I went to drop the WiFi network from WiFi - Manage Networks - Forget and it worked.  Temporarily.  I came back a few minutes later and it had reconnected to that guest network (which requires a password) and that guest network appears in my list of networks when I go to Manage Networks.  I tried to Forget it again, which works, but once I lock the phone and come back a few minutes later, that network is back in my list of networks under Managed Networks.  The problem is that it keeps connecting to this network.  I've tried rebooting the phone and that doesn't help.  The really odd thing is that when I Forget the network from Manage Networks, it comes back complete with the password.  The only work-around I have found is to leave the network in my Manage Network list and change the password to something incorrect so it cannot connect.  However if I then Forget that network with the bad password, it comes back with the correct password.  My question is - what can I do to permanently remove that WiFi network from my Manage Networks list (short of a hard reset of the phone)?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Lee

    That's odd. All of my devices will forget a wifi network after I long press to get a dialog and choose "forget network".
    Try forgetting the network when you are in a different location and not in range of that wifi network. Reboot the phone afterwards and see if the wifi network remains gone from the saved list.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I increase the character limit of my text messages for Droid Maxx 4.4?

  • Can't download apps to my Motorola Droid Maxx

    Motorola Droid Maxx, Android version 4.4.
    I've never been able to download apps to this phone. I go to the
    Google Play Store and go through the process of downloading apps, and after
    clicking Install, I get a message stating "Congratulations
    <app_name> will be installed on your device soon." Then I click the
    OK button, but the apps NEVER install. In fact, when I go to Settings ->
    Apps and view the Downloaded tab, it displays this message: "No apps
    downloaded yet." I've tried to download several apps in the 9 months that I've
    owned this phone, and this is always what happens.
    My Google account is setup on this phone, and I'm receiving gmail via the gmail app on this phone.
    I've removed and reinstalled the SIM card, and cycled the power on the phone,
    but nothing changes. What am I missing?
    Jeff

    try to do it from a pc. go to the play store on a web browser and sign in with your google account. select an app and then choose install. if you're signed in there and your phone is signed in with the same google account, then it should bring up permissions and show you where you select which device to install it too. if it works, you'll at least know that the issue isn't with your google account and you'll have a temporary fix and way to get apps. if it doesn't work or your phone doesn't show up as a device to install to, then i suspect the issue is with your google account. if it works, it will show up on your phone immediately.

  • Trying to use hangouts for sms on verizon droid maxx but "can't compose"

    I'm trying to use hangouts for SMS on my Verizon Droid Maxx but the message "Can't compose. No default SMS app." displays when I try to compose (+") a new message, even though the top of the screen says that "Hangouts is your SMS app".  What do I need to do?

        Good Afternoon, dgcaskey,
    I love my Hangouts application. Let's see if we can get this up and running for you. Have you been able to use this application before? Or did you just installed this app onto your phone? Have you been able to delete the application off the phone and redownload it? When you receive a text message does it come in through the Hangouts app or the normal stocked application that is on the phone? Please keep us posted.

  • My droid maxx display has a mind of its own.  Keeps going back to the home screen by itself and the hard keys on the bottom not working properly.  I was told my someone that it could be the screen sensor.  Any help?

    This Droid Maxx is loosing its mind.  The display started going crazy yesterday and nothing helps.  I have even done a hard reset and still screwed up.  Suggestions anybody

    Run it in Safe Mode see what it Does.. There could be a 3rd Party app that is causing the issue..

  • Battery drain on Droid MAXX that was just updated to 4.4.4

    I updated my Droid MAXX to Android 4.4.4 last week.  I can not longer even go a full day on a 1-0% charge.  I used to be able to go 1.5 to 2 days but now the battery seems to drain extremely fast with the new OS.  Anyone else experiencing this? 
    Also will not keep a WiFi connection - does not even see saved Wifi connections.  If enter new, just saves connection and will not connect.

    I agree with tbo27 with running a Factory Reset as you can't uninstall what was Downloaded. the more I see these post the harder to read..

  • "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error keeps popping up and text messages are not being received on Droid Maxx I got less than 2 weeks ago.

    I upgraded to a Droid Maxx about 2 weeks ago and all seemed well. Last Friday, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message randomly--sometimes when I was writing a text, sometimes when I would open other apps, there was no rhyme or reason to when it would occur. Now it also appears that I am not receiving some of my texts. I called Verizon Support who told me that they are experiencing this problem on several devices and that she was going to forward me to someone for help. 20 minutes later, no one had picked up and I had to leave. So I thought I would try here to see if Verizon has come up with a fix for this, if I should get another phone, or if they are working on a software update or something. Help, I really liked this phone until now!

    Hello,
    I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
    The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

  • Does anyone have Bluetooth failures with Mot Razr Droid Maxx using car hands free systems

    Both my wife and I have Razr Droid Maxx's and are having the same problems with our respective cars.  At times, the phone will drop the bluetooth connection and it will have to be rebooted at which point it will be discovered and re-connected to the car.  The problem is NOT in the car, as we have a Ford Fusion and a Toyota Camry and we encounter the same problem with both.
    Both phones are running Ice Cream Sandwich and we have verified all of the bluetooth settings at both ends of the connection.For some reason the phones.
    The problem is particularly annoying in that, at least in the Camry, you are unable to reconnect the phone while driving, so you have to pull over and put the car in Park in order to do it.
    Verizon tech support and the Verizon store have been of no help.  They simply shrug their shoulders and say they have never heard of the problem.
    Has anyone else had issues like this?

    I use Razr HD Maxx and used to have bluetooth disconnect problems during the calls. I tried everything I could think of, all in vain. Factory-reset solved the problem only for a while. Finally, I have found that some communication apps like Viber have the nasty habit of asserting itself every few minutes during non-Viber calls and reset both the bluetooth and speakerphone state to the default mode. This causes bluetooth to disconnect or turn off the speakerphone a few minutes into every non-Viber call. If you have an app like Viber, try either freezing it or uninstalling it. Uninstalling Viber was the only permanent solution to my bluetooth disconnect problems.
