Droid Razr M update is a nightmare - any helpful hints out there?

The latest update for my Droid has been nothing but a nightmare! I couldn't even use the phone after the update was forced on me. Many hours and several tech calls later to Verizon and Motorola and I can at least use the phone after having to do a factory reset but I am NOT happy at all! Hoping someone else has worked through these problems already and can help me out.
Bluetooth - had to reconnect to my car obviously and now I am not longer notified on messages when I am in the car?
Battery life - where did it go? Where does it go? All I know is it goes - FAST! Way faster than before the upgrade.
Random messages saying Amazon Kindle or Appstore or NFL Mobile has crashed. I never installed or use them so why does this keep happening? Can they be disabled without causing even more issues?
Text messages - used to be able to delete several at once now it is one at a time. Completely unacceptable! I can get a hundred or more messages a day from work and I have to delete them all one at a time? I have to save some if I need to reference it later so I can't just throw all of them in the trash.
I have been ready to pitch the phone since this "improvement" was done. I could go back to my old flip phone - didn't have all the features but I never had any problems with it...
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I appreciate it!

HitCast,
I'm sorry you are having trouble installing the update. I'm surprised that with the steps you have taken, you are still unable to install it. Are you using WiFi? When going to Settings>About Phone>System Updates what displays? If you are in Settings>About Phone, what information displays under Android Version and System version? Generally, if the software is not installing through this path, a master reset would need to be done to help push the update.

I cannot seem to download the latest version of Adobe Flash to my Mac 10.7.5. It stops at 95 percent finished. Any helpful hints out there??

I've been trying for some time. It seems to install fine until it reaches 95 percent finished. Then, it freezes up and nothing else happens.
I've tried deleting all the old files under Adobe Flash and re-installing the latest version for mac.
Nothing.
Any leads on this??? Thank you for your time!

katiafromasheville,
have you tried downloading the standalone version of Flash Player? If that downloads completely, then you should be able to install it successfully.

Still no iOS5 after 24hrs plus of trying. Still receiving network error message. Any tips/hints out there?

I have been trying to update to iOS5 (on iPhone 3GS and iPad 2) since 1 pm MST yesterday and I am still receiving the "network has timed out" error message. What is the deal? Apple should have expected this kind of traffic on their servers. Am I going to have to go a buy the 4s just to get iOS5?

"network timed out" is a common message with ALL iOS updates. A simple search of the forums would have revealed that disabling Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer tends to rectify the issue.
Apple does anticipate the server load, but building in enough capacity to handle the ENORMOUS traffice that hits their site when iOS updates are released makes no logical, financial, or business sense. When millions of iPhone users world-wide attempt to download updates at virtually the same time, it is slow.
Why the insistence on downloading the update as soon as it's released? Simply waiting a few hours, which most are forced to do due to the slow download, will result in a much faster download.
I was able to download iOS 5 this morning in about 6 minutes.

Droid Razr M update and text messages

After my droid razr m updated the other day, it now has to download text messages. One last night took about 30 minutes to download. It never did this prior to the update. I received messages from some people throughout that day. Prior to the udate, no download, just text message. After the update, download.
How do I get it to stop the download and just show the texts like before?

I am having the same issue, my phone was perfect for me before the GREAT UPDATE, then it overheated, shut off whenever it felt like it, freezes whenever, stopped ringing, text messages would take forever, kept getting "downloading" message in text, my group txt sent one txt repeatedly to everyone in the group for a whole day had to turn off my phone, so it would stop, people blocked me until I could get that fixed. Finally I went to the Verizon store and a lovely young lady replaced my phone, when I got it in the mail, the new one wouldn't even power on (really?????) sent that back finally got one that worked properly for about 3 months now it is randomly shutting down again!!!!!
I can turn off auto updates on my pc I want the ablity to turn it off on my phone as well!!!!!
It is the phone and the updates that are not compatible, just because your techs thought of something new doesn't mean that it's good for me, or just stop making blanket improvements as all phones are not equal..Example apparently my Android won't work with that same upgrades as an S4, seeing as how their 2 different phones.(duh)
Frankly i have no problem with the customer service people, you have to stand by your company its your job I get it, but you guys need to take these forums seriously and stop acting like puttng something on here is going to make a difference!!!!
Oh yeah and now this phone is starting to cut off randomly like the other!

My sound car does not pair up with bluetooth anymore, after i updated to iOS7. Any help?

I have an iPhone 5, and used to listen music on my car, using the bluetooth. Now i updated to iOS7, and the iPhone says that he can not connect anymore. It finds the stereo, but does not pair up. Tried to reboot, etc, but didnt work. Any help?

Hello there, DonnaLou.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some pretty extensive steps for troubleshooting Bluetooth issues:
iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
If you feel you have gone through all of these steps already, the article recoommends:
If the issue persists after restoring your iOS device in iTunes, contact Apple for support and service options.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Help! Safari keeps giving me a grey screen. I can't click on any search items. Any troubleshooting ideas out there?

Help! Safari keeps giving me a grey screen. I can't click on any search items. Any troubleshooting ideas out there?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Is there any Deaf Developer out there?

Here is a Deaf guy that would like to meet any Deaf Developers out there and talk about what apps to improve education on Deaf history and cultures thank you

Yes i have
But can that be used for Developing the FORMS/REPORTS Applications
The One that i Used was trial version for some pl/sql Development, No, to develop Developer Forms and Reports you have to use Oracle Forms and Reports Developer. Alternatively you could use Designer for CASE forms development and Discoverer for reports, but these are completely different tools/processes.
There are no third party Forms and Reports tools that will generate Oracle forms.

Is there any software/shareware out there for translating books on CD to m

I'd really like to get novels onto my Zen Micro. Thanks for any help.
Alura.

I use my Zen Xtra almost exclusi'vely for audio books. The program that came with it, MediaSource, works very well. It creates a sub-directory for each disc in the book. Sometimes the "get info" works, sometimes not, depending on how old the book is. If you can't the info, be sure to fill out the info at the top of the screen (it pops up when you insert a disc) consistently. Then create a playlist in your player. Drag each sub-folder (one for each disc to the book) into the play list. Voila...
Feel free to email me if you have further questions.
