Droid RAZR continuous rebooting

A few days ago my Droid RAZR wouldn't connect to the mobile network and then proceeded to reboot continuously. I've hard reset it, checked all recent apps and cleared their cache's, checked the device in safe mode. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    @stevomccls
It concerns me that you're having this problem with your Motorola Droid RAZR!  I would love to assist you with your wireless issue.
Just prior to this happening, had you installed any new applications or performed any device software updates?  How did the device respond while it was in Safe Mode?  Please let me know so that I can further assist.  Thanks!

  • Droid razr continually freezing/locking up.

    This is becoming a serious frustration because i end up doing a hard restart on my phone about 20 times a day. I did a factory reset with a recovery once last week. My problems continued and i did it again just yesterday.
    My phone is still locking up on me and i want a reason as to why this is happening. I have no viruses on my phone, all apps are turned off and it still locks up.
    If someone could please help me i would be very grateful.

    We'll mines doing the same thing kind of. On battery power I noticed that once it hits 40% battery you search the web or emails or even to some texting it will lock up or freeze and then let it set and it reboots on its own. Then it will lock up upon restarting and do it again about 3 times in a row. Did a factory reset yesterday and today sane thing.  So since it off warranty I eaither deal with it or do an insurance claim.  Sorry about high jacking your thread.

  • I had to force reboot my droid razr. PLEASE HELP!

    I had to force reboot my droid razr except that's not what happened. It turned off and is now just vibrating and will not turn back on. Please help I have no other phone.

    Have you tried holding the Volume Down button & then pressing the Power on button (while holding the VOL Down?)
    Can you boot into SAFE MODE ?
    - Press & hold BOTH vol up & down buttons at same time
    - Power up the phone - continue to hold the vol buttons for like 1-2 mins ..
    If successful, should come up saying "SAFE MODE" in lower left corner.  Does THIS work?  Power off & on as usual then. What happens?

  • After I unplug headphones, the speakers no longer work until rebooted.  Anyone else experience this?  Also had the same issue on the Droid Razr Maxx.

    After I unplug headphones, the speakers no longer work until rebooted.  Anyone else experience this?  Also had the same issue on the Droid Razr Maxx.

        Ahh. We can still help find the culprit, TeaParty14. Do you have any 3rd party applications installed to play your music? Are you able to hear any audio if you plug the headphones back into the phone instead of rebooting? Any audio for calls through the phone direct or through speakerphone?

  • Droid razr maxx keeps rebooting

    I own a droid razr maxx. Every time I try to connect my headphones or try to connect to Bluetooth my phone reboots. This is very annoying and makes it hard for me to enjoy my music. Can someone please help me?

        Jlace,
    I am so sorry you have been having issues with the device rebooting when connecting an audio device. How long have your been having this issue? Have you tried the wonderful steps presented by SoccerRef12? If so, did it help? Have you downloaded any new applications around the time this began?

  • Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up?

    Have a Droid Razr M that is stuck in the reboot screen. I tried a hard reboot and a factory reset, and it still gets stuck in the reboot screen. How long should I wait for the reboot to occur until it starts back up? I tried the steps for a factory reset given on this site, but it still does not want to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Hello otter314!
    Let's take a look into this to see if we can figure out what happened. When did this begin? What's the software version of the device? Do you remember what was happening with the device right before this started? Please supply me with some additional information, I'm happy to help with a resolution!

  • Droid Razr M Red Eye Boot Loop--continues for TOO many customers, need help!

    Droid Razr M problem with red eye boot loop--with ALL of the many posts that can be found online concerning this problem, why is there not a FIX from Motorola and/or Verizon?  All I seem to get are suggestions (I've tried) and "device is now considered out-of -date, you need a new phone".  Why should I purchase a new phone when I will have another issue in 2 yrs to cause me to purchase again?  Amazing how I am back to the 3G Droid Razr X to make due--It is about 5 yrs out-of-date.  Support with phones that are out-of-contract is ...well, pretty much non-existent.  Motorola gives the same "run around" after a 1 hr. call.  Verizon chat tech were helpful/nice but I was sent to motorola when answers could not be found...useless call transfer/number.  Any help for this Verizon faithful customer other than spend more $ for another phone?

    Factory data reset is all that you can try really.  If that does not repair the issue, then the software or hardware might really be at fault, and a repair would be necessary.

  • Droid Razr Maxx/Issues with Exchange Sync and Texting

    I have a Droid Razr Maxx.  Since the KitKat update to 4.4 in May 2014, my Exchange email account will not sync. My Comcast account does.    If I power cycle the phone, it will sync the Exchange account for a short time until I receive the following error message:  'couldn't open connection to server due to sec..."  When I touch the error message, it just goes away.  If there is more of the error message, I'm unable to see it.  I have removed the Exchange account and added it back in three times.  My IT department indicates they have not made any changes to the security levels, but have fielded several questions from other Android users with the KitKat update.  My text messaging service also stopped.  I've been reviewing all forums and tried different things, but to no avail.  I went to the Verizon store, who just said that there have been 'lots' of complaints about KitKat and that I should buy a different phone.  This $200+ phone is only 7 months old.  Please help!!

    After deleting and adding my Corporate account, visiting the local Verizon store several times, visiting my IT department, and now wiping the phone and re installing all software, the Corporate email still only syncs when I power cycle the phone.  We are a BYOD company which means every other phone works with the Exchange account.  My phone also worked up until the KitKat update in May 2014. The only recommendation I have received from Verizon is to replace my 8 month old Motorola Razr Maxx with a entirely different phone at full price. The tech I spoke with at Verizon made the statement that she has avoided updating to KitKat given all the customer issues she has had to deal with. 
    I'm in a technology field and understand when glitches occur, but also expect functionality issues to be addressed. I've been with both Verizon and Motorola for a long time, but very doubtful I will continue this relationship when contract time is up for renewal.  I'm carrying my iPad around to get the Corporate emails and the Razr Maxx has been relegated to just being a very expensive phone. 

  • Droid Razr problems

    Has anyone else had problems with the Droid Razr flickering (flashes on and off in about a second) and it does it all day long for no apparent reason? I have turned it off for awhile to see if it stops, I have removed my gmail accounts (saw in a discussion someone suggested to do this. But when the flickering continued I put my gmail accounts back in). I guess if no one has any suggestions I have to go to the store. This has been going on for about a month but now it seems worse with this recent Ice cream sandwich upgrade. HELP!

  • Droid Razr - too hot to touch

    Having several issues with my Droid RAZR, purchased in June 2012.  Current Android Version 4.1.2, Build Nbr 9.8.20-72....
    Main issues are:
    Battery life - stays plugged in all day & takes about an hour to go from 100% battery to about 65% battery.  It's under 50% at 2 hours after being unplugged & is around 20% within 3 hrs.
    Overheating is a problem.  When not in use (and simply in a shirt pocket) it gets to the point of being uncomfortably hot.  Temp in a battery app is between 42-45 C.  If I use it for streaming audio, it gets too hot to hold.  Heat is also up during any phone activity at all.
    Drops in & out of 4G/3G constantly & is much more apt to drop that coverage down to 1x than ever before. 
    Also notice that the GPS flashes in & out more often recently than before. 
    Not sure exactly when the update to JellyBean was rolled out to me, but I have had more of these issues in the last 90 days than I did prior to that.  I know that within the last 30 days other Verizon users with Droids have told me about abnormal power consumption on virtually all apps on their phone. 
    Using Advanced Task Killer v1.9.7 & have it set to autokill = crazy and interval = when screen off.  Apps set to ignore are Gmail, a Craigslist app, Weather and Calendar. Everything else I have set to kill.  Even with those apps, it is still warm to the touch. 
    Nothing I've done thus far has seemed to help curb the unusual power consumption on my Razr.  I've cleared the cache on it several times, and it seems to have curbed the constant heat issue, but not the spikes in temperature that went unnoticed before. 
    I don't want to do a factory reset on it if I can avoid it, but would if it were the only resort. 
    Any ideas what else to try? 

    To answer your questions:
    1. First thing Get rid of the Task Killer that can for sure cause the Heating as the ( Task Killer ) is constantly fight the Apps,
    It is now uninstalled.  I had installed it when I noticed that the Android OS was using a disproportionate amount of the system resources (over 50%).
    2. try running the phone in Safe Mode you could have some apps causing the issue as well
    I will give this a try.  Most apps I notice take 3% or under of power consumption.  The big ones are screen (30 second timeout), Android OS (as of now, they are about 70% of the power consumption) and Wi-Fi (at home).  Android System takes only slightly more than the most heavy power consuming app.
    Outside of the task killer, I had only installed updates to apps over the last month or so.  I just booted it into Safe Mode & it got noticeably hot in the center after about 5 minutes. 
    3. And have you done a System Cache Clear in say the last couple of Months if not i would definitely try that
    Yes, several times in the last week or so (Power off, then Vol + and Vol - and Power ), select Recovery,then select wipe cache partition & then reboot).
    4. with a follow up of a Factory Reset
    I had wanted to avoid doing that unless as an absolute last resort, since I have so many pictures, files, and other things saved on the phone. 
    and your last question:
    5. And one other thing i like to ask are you using the Charger that came with the phone or Charging it Via a Computer if by computer Switch to the charger that came with it in the Box..
    Yes (at home).  In the vehicle, I am using a charger I purchased from Verizon when I got this phone.  At work, I use an AC Charger that was also purchased from Verizon. 
    Thanks for the help.  I will let you know if Safe Mode makes any difference.

  • Droid Razr M Battery after KitKat Update

    I recently updated my Droid Razr M with the KitKat update when prompted.  Battery life went from not needing to be charged for well over a day, to draining from 100% before the work day ended with light use. 
    I contacted Verizon and humored them and did the "battery trouble shooting" things with them, even though it appears to be a well known issue.  When the troubleshooting had no effect after a few days, we did a factory reset, which also didn't help.  I ended up getting a new phone because I had extended warranty coverage. 
    When I got the new phone, the battery was a dream, just like old times, after 2 days the system prompted me to do the KitKat update, which I did against my better judgement. 
    Meanwhile my husband also did the KitKat update on his Droid Razr M and started experiencing virtually the same battery problems.  Now both of our batteries drain about 50% faster than they did before the update. 
    My question is, if this is a known issue with Verizon, why bother treating it like user error?  It also seems like to "resolve the battery problem" (which they don't acknowledge is a direct product of the update) they ask users to basically not use their phone normally, but limit their usage to get more battery life, which isn't a solution at all. Is there an actual solution related the the problem (the KitKat update) that I can use to extend battery life on my phone?  Or should we both call and request replacement phones since the malfunction is not due to any sort of user error?

        Richard-in-Brooklyn
    I'm sorry to hear about the sudden trouble with your battery on the Razr M! Let's check into our options to resolve this. Were any new applications added to the phone recently? Does this continue if you place the device into Safe Mode for 24 hours? Here's how: http://vz.to/LZzdS9

  • Droid razr froze! Help

    Droid Razr froze and will not respond to anything.  Pressed power button no results.  Pressed volume keys with no results. Help!

        thornezoo,
    I'm glad your phone is up and running again and the tips here helped. There's many factors that could cause this, but it's mostly the maintenance of the phone, such as closing apps you're no using and downloading safe apps. Take a look at this http://vz.to/1lmduT9 and try this as well if it continues http://vz.to/1eaCTX9 , it will disable third party content and allow you to rule it out.

  • Droid RAZR (not MAXX) 4G, service drops on GB and ICS

    Okay, the forums are full of threads concerning this issue. The phone loses data connectivity as well as voice. Every person seems to have a different opinion as to when or where their service drops, and I have tried to find a fix (official or not) since I first got my RAZR.
    I got my phone sometime in March 2012 from a Verizon store during a promotion. I was happy I can get a phone with better hardware than my DROID X (awesome phone-best I ever had). I didn't care much about the 4G, but I considered it a perk for upgrading.
    1. A day later I started having problems with my service. The 4G connection would drop, the 4G icon would turn white and then disappear for good. The phone would have no data connection at all but a few seconds later the white 4G icon would reappear and turn blue later. I thought it is because the 4G coverage is spotty as I was constantly moving from one place to another. But I got home (where I never had problems and Verizon service was always excellent) and it would do the same thing.
    2. I have data connectivity and voice service but I turn off the screen. When I turn the screen back on, data connection is lost and I have no service available. I had one error that said "SIM card invalid" or something like that a few times. On Gingerbread I just switched to 3G only and I had no problems. But every time I switched back to use the LTE, I had the same problem over and over.
    3. Upgraded to ICS as I figured Motorola and Verizon worked together to find a "cure" for these sudden service losses. I was wrong. With ICS it is even worse. I lose data and voice service very often. In store, Verizon employees are telling me they have never seen problems like mine (liars?). On the phone with CS I am told they do not know of any issues similar to mine. But forums are full of threads of people having the same issue. Answers from VZ employees are not very clear and directs people to a simple Factory Reset, cleaning the SIM card, reinserting the SIM card... basic stuff a monkey could think of too.
    4. Some times after a phone conversation, I hang up and immediately after, my service drops. I have to turn the screen off and then back on after about 5 seconds, the service is still nowhere to be seen, but if I leave the screen on for about 10 seconds, the phone will regain its connectivity to the network. THIS HAPPENS IN 3G COVERAGE AS WELL AS 4G NOW.
    Steps taken: Downloaded the Motorola app to Restore Connectivity - did not work, I still have the problem.
                        Carefully cleaned the SIM card surface making sure there is no static electricity  discharge - did not work, I still have the problem.
                        Factory reset numerous times  - did not work, I still have the problem.
                        Removed and reinserted the SIM card - did not work, I still have the problem.
                        Updated to ICS hoping that would solve the problem - did not work, I still have the problem.
                        Anything I do I still have the problem.
    So please tell me, Does VZ publicly acknowledges there is a problem with DROID RAZR? If yes why do some people inside VZ deny any issues with it while others don't. Aren't they trained or aren't they reading the same training material the others do? Besides that I am not aware of Motorola or VZ taking any responsibility in trying to fix this.Is there a fix in the works? Please if there is any help for people like me, with the same problem, I think VZ should email owners with solutions. REAL SOLUTIONS because it is possible. I receive newsletters for new phones and plans but none to suggest a fix to issues.
    And factory reset after factory reset is not working out for me as I use my phone not to txt my friends or send funny pictures of my dog to my neighbor but for business. This is really affecting and annoying me. And yes, I could switch to an iPhone but Android provides me with a great deal of options in my line of work that iPhone does not have. And yes, I could switch to another Android based phone, but I paid for this one and I want to use what I paid money for.
    Again... final question is: Is there a fix, a software fix (I think this has to do with software) for this?
    Thank you!

    I had EXACTLY ALL of the same issues (plus some Bluetooth issues):
    Got my phone in January or February
    First instance of this happened about the middle of June (or maybe the third week) for several days before I finally called, believing it was a "hiccup" in the network (still on GB)
    Customer Service did some troubleshooting, placed it in "safe mode" to see if it might be an app causing it, factory reset, etc., etc., etc.......
    VZ put in a network trouble ticket which seemed to solve the issue (although I don't really know what may have been done) for about a week (now I know that this was a mere coincidence)
    About a week or two later (still on GB) it started again; this was maybe a Wednesday
    CS troubleshooting, another trouble ticket, etc., etc., and then I finally did a factory reset myself
    Friday night (maybe Saturday) ICS is out, and downloaded believing it would fix it.
    The problem was resolved briefly (several hours, maybe a full day) and then began again with a vengance
    Called, went through all the same humbug, did a couple (or a few) factory resets, and I too, had the "invalid SIM" error show up on the screen out of nowhere ........
    Customer Service had me to go to my local Verizon store and get a new SIM (they thought that might possibly be the problem). Got the replacement, and it worked, again, only briefly; just a few short hours later, it was right back to the same old thing........more phone calls
    trouble ticket is still out.......
    Was even told by the advance tech support person that on several phones with this very same problem, that he actually saw this resolved by simply creating a different, brand new Google account (instead of the Verizon customer's original Google account) during setup, after a factory reset (don't ask me how......). Gladly, this is one step that I didn't take (that's all I need is one more email account!)
    Finally, it was determined that it MUST be the device. I really didn't want another phone as I always keep my phones in pristine condition cosmetically, and there was no reason (as far as I was concerned) to swap it.
    Reluctantly, I allowed them to send me a replacement. I say, "reluctantly" because my original was a new device but they would be sending me out a "certified reconditioned, like-new" replacement.
    After some trepidation, I decided to go ahead; Motorola would probably take a year to get mine back to me after finding "nothing wrong", or the same year getting me a replacement, should I be lucky enough that my original device would act up for them to see that there actually is a real problem. Verizon, on the other hand could have a replacement to me in two days.
    Needless to say, it has been a week (5 days) with the replacement and I have to admit that it absolutely WAS the device that I bought originally. This replacement hasn't repeated the problem, (with the exception of ONE VERY MINOR instance of about a 5 - 15 minute window on one day only), and I'm happy to say that it works like my original device did when I first got it.
    I got a call after the 3rd or 4th day (I believe it was the 4th day) with the replacement device, from the trouble ticket people (technician who actually works out in the field maybe?) and was told that they have thoroughly checked the network/antenna/tower here and found that there was absolutely nothing wrong, and that everything is functioning as it should.
    This problem was continuously happening at my house, so it was natural that I believed something was wrong with the tower here near my house. I live in a good 3G/LTE coverage area near New Orleans and had no problems whatsoever from January/February through the first part of June, so it was only natural that I thought it must be a problem with the tower.
    I thanked him, and told him about the replacement, and he told me that's what he was going to suggest next, and it was the only suggestion that he had left.
    Just know that in the course of all of these calls, I was told by at least a few reps (2 for sure) at Verizon that they were aware that this IS a problem on some of the Razr's and Razr Maxx's.
    If this is as bad for you as it was for me (and I'm confident that it is), then I would call Customer Service - don't go to a store. Tell them EVERYTHING that has happened, everything that you've done to attempt to resolve it (including the painful process of factory resets), and what I've described here.
    If you're okay with a "new" (read: replacement) device, then I'm sure that they can get you a replacement out in short order. As far as it looking new, you would NEVER be able to tell cosmetically that this isn't a brand new device.
    I hope that this was able to help you, as well as all the others, with this issue.
    Good luck everyone, and God bless you.

    Okay, so regrettably, I must report to everyone that the replacement followed suit after only 6-7 days. It lost 4G connectivity and jumped to 3G and that's where it stayed. 
    So I call Verizon and after a brief conversation, they asked if it was okay for them to transfer me over to Motorola for them to troubleshoot and I said that I'd be more than glad to speak with them.
    Here's the breakdown:
    After a lengthy call (an hour and twenty minutes), allowing them to remotely connect to my phone, and the Level 2 Tech seeing for himself that it's on 3G in a full 4G area, he tells me that there's nothing more that can be done.
    WHAAAT?!!!
    He said that if I want to send it in to Motorola they'll look at it, and if they did find anything wrong with the phone they'll send me a replacement, but if they DON'T find anything wrong with it (which I'm sure would be the case), they will simply send me my phone back, and that it will be Verizon's network that is the problem.
    In this scenario I would need to find a replacement phone to use while my Razr goes to Motorola (for them to find nothing wrong with of course, and blame everything on Verizon's LTE network) only to get it back weeks later and be totally inconvenienced (this has been going on since June).
    The last thing he said to me before getting off the phone was that they have similar devices with other carriers and they don't have any of these problems with those devices.
    I've started searching the other devices forums here in the Verizon Wireless Community and I'm beginning to see a pattern.  The same issue is happening with quite a few of the other 4G devices so I'm not really sure that another device (different manufacturer) is even the answer.
    They have sent me yet another Droid Razr and I can honestly say that this will be the last one. If I can't find a device that will actually keep/hold LTE connectivity then I may have to go back to Sprint.  Their native coverage is nowhere near Verizon's but they also don't have much 4G coverage right now.
    If I'm going to have to be on 3G anyway, I may as well pay less than I'm paying now - or at least pay the same and not have to worry about going over on data.I guess we'll see how this replacement works out and go from there.
    Anyhow, just know that it may not be a Razr/Razr Maxx problem after all.
    Hopefully, they can get this sorted out and we can all get back to life......
