Droid killed by verizon update?

Has anyone had their Droid quit working recently after a verizon update? My back button quit working and it has continued to get worse within the last week. No longer really functional phone

Re: BUG: Web Update KILLED by driver update in XPe There are two ways for the Creative software update to be installed. If you install the driver Cd on your system, then the webupdate gets installed on your system that way. If you install new drivers on your system, download from creative, it will be installed also. If you just unzip the files you got from the Creative download and just update the driver manually then the web update service does not get created.
If you have winrar or winace or 7 zip, download the newest Creative driver. then right click the Creative executable. Extract the contents to a temp folder you can easily access. then go to the main root of that folder and run setup.exe. Right before the installation finishes you should see the autoupdater hang and then finish installing. Then reboot and see if the folder has been recreated.

Droid Razr Jelly bean update issue

yesterday evening my Droid razr got JB update.
After update, the phone won't show up home screen, instead it is continuously loading the boot screen.
i had a VERY LONG CONVERSATION(almost 2hours) to VZW cust supp guy & these are the options he gave.
1) i need to buy (with my MONEY) new/recertified device to continue in the service
2) i need to do an early upgrade & buy new phone.
UNTIL YESTERDAY MY IS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE (with ICS) & VZW OTA update bricked my phone &
THEY WANT ME TO PAY /EXTEND MY CONTRACT BECAUSE OF THEIR MISTAKE.
& THE customer support guy blames Motorola & google for bad software update.
which is not true BECAUSE THE UPDATE IS A CUSTOMISED ANDROID OF VZW not motorola or Google.
BUT STILL HE SAID HE CAN'T DO ANY THING.
I NEVER EXPECTED THIS FROM VZW & TOTALLY ****** OFF.

yes, i can boot into recovery menu & can select recovery option.
but after i select recovery option, it will just show some dead green
android picture(whose stomach is open with stop/error symbol)
Thanks & Regards

Why won't My Verizon update usage reports?

Why won't My Verizon update usage reports?

My phone was killed by your update. AGAIN! It is now inoperable and stuck on recovery mode. WTH?

My phone was killed by your update. AGAIN! Last time I had to deal with discourteous, uneducated, unhelpful, and downright rude customer service reps (who, by the way, seemed to ignore the fact that I had set up an appointment). Once the issue was finally acknowledged, I had to erase all content in my phone. I could have done that on my own. This time, the update has made my phone completely inoperable, so I can't even call or be called by Apple support?! This is absolutely unacceptable. I can't just have my only phone cease to work every time you feel like killing it.
It's stuck in the "connect to iTunes" screen with an image of a USB cable pointing at an iTunes logo.
Error message no. 14
I have tried all possible recommended solutions from all help sites. I have removed all usb connections, except the iPhone. I have updated iTunes and Windows 7 completely, and restarted my computer. I have tried restoring it from another computer, which seemed to work, except for when I plugged it into my computer and asked it to load all of my software/media, it died again.

Yeah, I was a little upset when I wrote that, and I had copied and pasted it into this discussion board without really looking at who it was directed to. It's upsetting. And I absolutely refuse to go to the Apple store for help. They are incredibly rude. Besides I can't make an appontment without my phone. . .

Verizon Update 2/3/2013 requires re-boot

Just updated iPhone 5 with Verizon update.
It bricked one iPhone, but a reboot solved the problem. The second iPhone updated without incident.
If your iPhone is stuck "searching" where Verizon and the connection bars should be (top left of screen) re-boot.

I have had so many issues since I updated phone to this software. I can't send email through my account....can't even locate the aol account to delete it. I will attempt the store to troubleshoot. Lesson learned. ....should have left the phone alone and never done the software update!!!!!!!!! Other issue is that I was attempting download of the forum and it needs wi-fi to download....that never was an issue either......can't even delete the attempt to download! Very frustrating...
I can see why that issue would be frustrating. I would like to help with this issue. What is happening when you try to send email? Also, you said you can't locate your AOL account. Have you looked in Settings>Accounts? It should list any email accounts you have setup there. If it is not there, try clearing your cache from your email. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Email>Clear data/cache. Then try to setup your email again.
What size file were you trying to download?

How often does Verizon update DNS?

How often - How quickly, does Verizon update it's DNS servers?
The reason that I must ask is that I have just changed wevhosts and cannot connect to my new host.
It has been over one hour now and I am dead in the water because I cannot connect!!!
Yes, before you reply - I have checked using network-tools.com and my site is in public dns
www.josephcarver.com.
How long should I wait before looking at alternative DNS?
I am on the North Shore of Massachusetts - the delay is unbearable.

Nevermind I have now just called Verizon "Tech Support" and they don't know!
To quote: " It happens fom time to time"
When he was asked "should I get OPEN DNS?
Answer: "yeah, you can go ahead and do that"
Nice, real nice............
Lesson learned - warning to those who might be hosting a web site and change servers + hosts
"yeah, you can go ahead and do that"
It's a combination of things.
First it depends how fast your hosting isp issues a DNS push to send out your new address and then it's dependant on how fast the push trickles through all the dns servers in the world. I believe if you check with your hosting isp they will say it can take up to 24 hours to propogate around everywhere. You could use one of your hosting isp's dns servers as your primary dns server and then you should see the chnages virtually immediately, however that could slow down other access slightly as it might be slower to reach than a near at hand verizon server.

Is motorola and verizon updating android 2.3 os to original droid

Can any verizon rep answer me this?
Can verizon tell motorola to add portable mobile hotspot & tethering, 3d apps launchee . I dont want to root a rom to get this or get app replacement to get these features.

This needs to happen now! This version would have prevented my phone from being hacked. Check out http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-news/129312-mother-all-android-malware-has-arrived-roots-phone-steals-data-opens-backdoor.html
I guess Verizon removed the infected apps on booting your phone but this is a root item and installs a backdoor. I am doing a hard reset and making sure SD card is wiped clean to be safe. 98 emails were sent out from my phone last night. Links were to inappropriate sites. Not sure if malware or virus installed if you clicked on one.

App Killer - still useful with Droid 2.2 OS update?

I've been hearing mixed reviews on whether or not App Killer is a help or hindrance with the 2.2 OS. Does anyone have some information on it?

My personal opinion is not to use a task killer. Reason being it will kill your battery if automatically set to kill programs.
What happens is TK will shut down programs and many of those programs will reopen, then again TK will kill the programs and the programs will reopen. It is an endless loop that drains a battery. Froyo does very well with memory management if left alone to do its job.

Droid Razr M: KitKat Update Fail

I have tried to update my Droid Razr M with the OTA KitKat update and it fails every time. It downloads fine, but only installs about 25% then goes to the Android laying on his back with a exclamation point. It then restarts and says, "Software Update Failed". I have tried several times and even done a hard reset and it still fails. Please help.

Uneventful update: My stock red Motorola M had been gone since I tried to (removed) I had thought (mistakenly) that this indicated my system was corrupted but now I realize the logo is just that...an image.
Before the rest of you posted, I believed that if I did a hard reset, Kitkat would load. But apparently that is not the case.

Is it possible to wipe delvik and cache with a locked bootloader? If so, how?

Droid rebooting and Verizon reps want to make it my issue!!!!!!!.......

I am having the same issues with my phone. I went into the Verizon store downtown DC last month and the customer service rep said that he also had a droid and it was rebooting on its own as well but that Verizon was supposed to be coming up with an update to solve the situation. He also told me that there was no point in getting a "NEW" refurbished phone because it would do the same thing since it was a problem with the droid's. I went in today and they told me that it was not a known problem and that I had solutions. The first was I could get the new refurbished phone and chance it happening again, I could set up a new line on an account that is not even mine, pay 9.99 for the new account and then pay the upgrade price, or I can pay full price for a different droid which runs about $500 and then they will give me a $50 credit......That does not seem like a fair solution. I work with children and need to have my phone available and working at all times in case we are outside and there is an emergency. Again the managers at the Verizon store in downtown DC said that it was not a known problem....How can it not be a known problem and there are so many people on here complaining about the same problem? This is not my problem or issue and should not be dropped in my lap. I should not have to pay more money for a phone that was already expensive to begin with.

Droid Eris 2.1 update and facebook problems

I just downloaded the Eris 2.1 update and the new facebook update today. I have had nothing but trouble since then. I went to the Verizon store for help and got nowhere. The facebook widget does not work. The facebook ap works partway. I cannot retrieve the newsfeed or profile from the ap. HELP!

This may have already been covered... haven't read all the posts... but I have lost the following due to the 2.1 update... 1. SPEED DIALING... 2. WEATHER AND LOCATION ON THE HTC Sense UI... 3. Voice Dialer keeps arbitrarily starting and locking up. 4. When I pull up my APP KILLER, it shows random apps are running... with as many as 8 different apps (many of which I was not nor have not used) are active. It's no wonder battery is dying so rapidly.

HTC Droid DNA issues after update to 4.2.2 (Software Version 3.06.605.4)

Since updating my HTC Droid DNA to 4.2.2 last month, I have several recurring issues:
The camera crashes (not every time, but often enough that it's VERY annoying) when taking HDR pictures (normal ones are OK)
After a reboot, the keyboard reverts to the Google default, instead of my choice of SwiftKey
On the plus side, battery life appears to be improved.
Is anyone else having these problems? Any suggestions on how to debug/get them resolved?
- R

The 4.2.2 OTA update for our phone is garbage. I broke my DNA took it back to best buy once i recived the new one i Stupidly downloaded the update.

Google/Verizon updates taint owner's preferences?

I was having a problem with email sync a few weeks ago (four-six. I have read that the actual update was in June, so it was just late). I went through the normal routine, up to and including deleting and reinstalling gmail (what a pain). So as is typical with a new update waiting, it had been causing the software to hang. However, since the update, none of my emails (4 accounts) auto-sync (although that feature is turned on). Also, since the update GoogleMaps has become my go to navigation app (even though they issue a disclaimer stating that it's still in beta for navigation).
I don't understand why Google deleted Nav and Places, and why Verizon okayed this. Maps is slow and often doesn't work AT ALL without wifi or hotspot turned on, which kindof defeats the purpose. Secondly, it is KILLING my battery life. PLEASE don't tell me I could subscribe to Verizon Navigator's service to replace what could have been one of the greatest apps ever (especially paired with PLACES).
I continue to be dismayed by the up and down service of Verizon when it comes to the operating system and updates. One would think that at some point this issue needs to be better regulated to serve the consumer. This is not just a fun little toy I have, but a very expensive tool and I am quite put out with how Verizon and Google continue to treat the consumer with limited regard to the impact of their (sometimes significant) updates and lack of options to the consumer on whether or not to accept these changes on devices owned and wholly used by the consumer.
I guess I should write my congressman.
In the meantime, if anyone can help me get my RAZR back to normal speed with email sync and help me understand how to make Google Maps work without going to wifi and/or why it drains the battery so fast, that would be great.
Thanks for reading my rant

You should be complaining to the developer of the application if you have an issue with it. For example, the Maps changes are Google's decision.
