Droid Razr Dropping Calls

Is anyone else having problems with the droid razr cutting in and out then dropping the call. Today is the 4th day that I have been experiencing this. I've done a full factory reset twice already and the phone is up to date. Could it be effects from the hurricane? Verizon doesn't seem to have any answers for me. My phone is only 5 months old and have never had this problem until Sunday. They checked the area for problems and there were none. Please Help. I'm getting very irritated and my cell is my only way of communicating.

It Could be if you Live close to the Area Was it Working Ok before the Storm Threw)
One thing i want pass on too ya!  After Doing a Factory Reset you need to Let the Phone Get it's Legs under neath of it sort of Speak) it takes a while for it to Get things Re-organized in itself as it was before the Reset and you did two of them) Don't get me Wrong a F.D.R is good thing to do just give the little guy some time to catch up) And it should be fine. b33

  • Droid 2 dropping calls

    My Droid 2 frequently drops calls while I'm talking. Does anyone else have this problem? I don't want to go to a Bluetooth device because I just don't get enough calls to justify walking around with something in my ear.

    There are a few things that could cause dropped calls. First check the Coverage Locator to verify the coverage in your area. Also, how long has this been happening? What area are you located? There could be an outage in your area. Lastly, when did you last update the preferred roaming list (PRL)?  
    To update the PRL:
    Power on the phone within the Verizon Wireless coverage area.
    Dial *228then press SEND(this call is airtime free and may take up to 2 minutes).
    When prompted, press 2for the option to update the PRL.
    Once completed, a confirmation message will appear to informing that the phone has been re-programmed with the new PRL.
    Press Endto terminate the call.
    Power cycle the phone to complete the update. 

  • Droid 3 dropping calls

    I'm surviving the horrible battery life - even with all apps turned off and an "extended" life battery - but I don't think I'm going to survive this phone dropping calls.  It's so annoying.  But if that isn't bad enough, the thing doesn't quickly recover from its issue so that I can quickly re-call the person.  I'm now using a (horrors!) landline to make calls I don't want interrupted by my Droid 3's disconnect.
    Anyone else with this problem?
    Any suggestions for resolution?  (I've done a couple of battery pulls already.)
    thanks

    I have lots of drop call too.. I have called customer service. First time they just replaced my Droid (I am on my 5th one now). Then they said I had put a "1"  and the area code in front of all of my numbers in my address book. So I went and changed that. Then they told me to dial "####" every time I get a drop call... I was doing that for 2 weeks and called them to find out what the problem was and was told that the "####" was wrong and I was supposed to be dialing "###" instead. I was doing that until I got 9 drop calls in one day (easy to keep track when you have ### in your recent numbers dialed). Talked to them again and what did they do ?? Yep replace my phone again... I have had this Droid 3 for a week now and have not gone a day without getting drop calls..
    I have done master resets, and dialed the *228 for tower updates and reactivate my phone. I also shut my phone off once a day to get it to refresh itself.
    Any suggestions for resolution...
    I have been told I can upgrade until October.. I have asked for an early upgrade so I can get a different phone but they will not let me.

  • Droid x - Dropped Calls, Freezing Screen and Now its auto dialing

    Just got my Droidx cell phone and at first loved it,but now getting frustrated.  Quick 1-2 minute calls are ok anything longer and it is dropping the calls.  Also periodically the screen freezes.  Now last night it called a friend 30 times during the night, I hadn't called her so not sure why it picked her number.  Any thoughts would be helpful.... I can't have a phone that is going drop calls and randomly call my contacts.
    PLEASE HELP!

        Good Afternoon rxpertmed. I know it can be frustrating when your device is not performing well.
    Is your software up to date on your Droid 2 Global? The latest version is: 4.5.629.A956.Verizon.en.US.
    http://bit.ly/HNpEQY
    If the software is up to date, please try running the device in safe mode to determine if third party apps may be causing the issues.
    http://bit.ly/r7xUJM
    If the device is still not responding, please complete a hard reset.

    I hope this information is helpful.

  • Droid Eris - Dropping Calls!

    Is this a common problem? I'm probably dropping 2 out of every 3 calls. I've had the phone since mid-May, and it's really getting annoying.

    i've seen MANY eris users complain that the screen doesn't time out when on a call. this causes them to accidentally touch the screen and eventually end the call. does your screen appear to turn off when you put it to your ear? try to put it to your ear and pull it away (quickly) and see if it is going off when talkin and then coming back on when you pull away from your ear. if it's not then it's prolly a problem with the sensor (there is a sensor so it knows when you have it held to your ear. many things cause issues......hair in the way, dust/debri, the way in which you hold the phone, etc). just a theory.

  • 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......  

  • My Razr maxx hd keeps dropping calls daily no matter where I am. How can I fix this?

    This phone keeps dropping calls a few minutes in most of the time. I am tempted to tossing this phone out and switching to iPhone but I loved the droids since the beginning. This has been happening for the last year and now I am tired of it. This phone needs help...

        AngelMunoz2011,
    I am sorry to hear about your troubles with service on your phone. We definitely want to make sure that you are always receiving the best service options. What zip in general are you having the most trouble in? How many bars of signal are you typically getting?  Could you try clearing the cache on your device http://vz.to/KRifEf and also try removing/reinserting your 4g sim card. We are here to help, so please keep us updated.

  • DROID RAZR M keeps dropping Bluetooth Connection

    Just got a new DROID RAZR M this weekend.  It will pair successfully with our 2012 HONDA CRV using bluetooth.  However, it few minutes later it will disconnect, then reconnect again, then disconnect again a few minutes later, then reconnect etc....  Never had this problem with the LG phone that it replaced. 
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    yes I have had this same problem with my Razr M & Tiguan since I got the phone back in Sept. I have called about it, Volkswagen has replaced the bluetooth module for me.. nothing. I never had this problem with my Droid2 either. There's other android/razr/droid forums too where people having the same problem wit this model phone, and different cars. The latest Jelly Bean update didn't fix it. Check it out. Good luck, and let me know if you figure anything out..

  • Droid maxx drops my calls and/or very poor reception

    my droid maxx drops all my calls and/or very poor reception. I am in an area that is supposed to have good coverage. I have tried trouble shooting assistant. did not help. Does anyone else have this problem?

      Hi sandrabaugh, I have a Droid Maxx. Are you somewhere that would cause physical interference? Perhaps in a building or location. That has a lot of concrete walls, metal, glass, or near any electronic equipment or computer router type of things? Is it isolated to one particular place, or where ever you use the Droid Maxx?

  • Droid Razr M shows no service even when I am in a service area. Unable to make calls or text.

    My Droid Razr M keeps showing no signal. I know that I am in a decent service area. I cannot make any calls or recieve texts. I have tried restarting the phone. I have no clue with the service problem. Help?

  • Caller id readout on Droid Razr Maxx HD

    How do you turn off caller id readout on the Droid Razr Maxx Hd? There is not a Call Settings option under Settings and/or Accessibility

    Thank you, I appreciate your response. However,  I went to a Vz wireless store on the same day I made the query because I needed a more immediate response. A Support person was able to correct the problem. I think that Motorola should have made the Settings App the location where this should be controlled. Even a call to Tech Support resulted in a new phone being sent out to me because they thought my phone may have been defective. 
    Thank you, again for your response.  

  • Droid 4 Constantly dropping calls

    Has anyone else (who's had their Droid 4 for a year or more) had any problems with an increase in number of dropped calls as the phone is getting older? It's now happening to me daily, and it seems that they are now occurring more and more often. I have the extended warranty and insurance on my phone and am trying to decide if it's worth the hassle of filing a claim on one or the other. I very rarely get a "call lost" message; in fact, I'm more likely to be talking along and wonder why the person isn't responding, then look down & the call is just not there any longer. I've also started getting a very bad "reverb" style sound  at times.

    Hello sarabugstar,
         A dropped call is not something that we are used to reading about from our customers. Rest assured that we are on the job to get this resolved as soon as possible. Let's start with what zip code are you in? Are you having issues with your data services? Also, can I assume that there isn't any liquid or physical damage on the device? As you share the details of your concern then we can customize a solution for you. I'm looking forward to your reply.
    Thank you...

  • Droid dropping calls!

    This phone is horrible!! It drops call constantly. I cannot finish a conversation. What is Verizon doing about this? I have called and called. They have opened Trouble Tickets and nothing!! Yet I see so many having the same issue. Has anyone found a fix for this??

    I've had my Charge for around 5 months and I'd say it has dropped a call maybe 4 times total.  And those were all in bad signal areas.

  • DROID RAZR by Motorola

    Anyone else having issues with there Droid Razr camera freezing, navigation freezing and the phone generally not working at all, missed calls, not ringing on incoming calls, missed texts? I bought a new Droid in January 2013 after having the first Droid for almost 3 years and my 3 yr old phone was acting like my new phone that's why I upgraded to a new Droid 4g. Now my new $200+ dollar phone is working worse than my old one. I have already had it replaced one because the customer service rep at the Verizon store did not want to mess with it. I have to constantly have to re-boot the phone a number of times a day.
    I went back to the Verizon store today and the phone worked great on the camera and google browser, but had issues with volume and others little things, but all the rep did is say she would write it down and to bring it back when it does it again. I am suppose to drop everything and run to Verizon when the phone has issues.
    My dad got a free LG Droid a few months ago and his works much better and faster than my expensive one. I am really disappointed with the level of service with Verizon & Motorola. We have 6 phones on a 10 line plan all of them smart phones with 8gb of service a month you do the math. We have been with Verizon since 2001.

    To: Warren M, VZW Support
    Thank you for contacting me, regarding the issues I was having with my Droid. But last week I took my second Droid back to the store and after having an in depth discussion with the store manager I ended up having to pay a $35. re-stocking fee, another $50 to chose another phone the DNA and then another $28. for accessories. So all totaled after having two of the Motorola Droids in less than 30 days I had to pay to replace it with a phone that works.
    My only other option was to switch carriers and right now I do not have the financial means to do that, but in the future I will be seriously considering it after the issues I had with that Droid in one month and then having to pay a re-stocking fee to return a phone that did not work, even though it was with in 14 days of getting the second phone the mgr said the 14 days starts only on the first phone. I switched to Verizon in 2001 and now have 6 phones on our plan, I think it is time to start looking at other carriers and the support they provide to long time customers. My whole plan is smart phones all with data plans. I am not to happy with the support that the local Verizon store provided when I was having problems with my phone and the extra fee's that I had to pay to get a phone that actually worked.

  • Bluetooth Issue with Droid Razr Maxx

    I have had my Razr Maxx for about 3 weeks. From the jump I have had problems playing music thru several bluetooth devices. It will play fine for a few minutes, then music will start stuttering(dropping in and out) and continue to do so. Music plays fine when playing thru the phone speaker or wired headphones, but fails when using bluetooth.  I called in, and they sent me another phone, and the same problem is occurring with the new one. I'm figuring its a software issue, bc I had no problems with my Droid X. Is anyone else having this problem?? I probably listen to music just as much as I talk on the phone and this is def. frustrating.
