DROID RAZR MAXX HD will not update to Android 4.4.2

Hello, All.
I am trying to figure out why my phone will not update to the newest version of Android or how to resolve this issue.
Here are my specs:
System version: 9.18.94.XT926.Verizon.en.US
Model number: DROID RAZR MAXX HD
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: VANQUISH_BQ_100730.151.64.17P
Kernel version: 3.1.31-gef7deb8
Build number: 9.8.1Q-94
Build date: Wed Sep 25 15:13:00 CDT 2013
Here's the issue. I get the notification to update to KitKat (4.4.2) and so I download the update and press the install. It reboots my phone and starts the update. It gets to about halfway when the little Android animation falls on its side and displays a red triangle above him. My phone reboots again and when it loads, it shows a message saying that the update failed. There is no more information - just that it failed.
Is anyone out there having the same problem I am having? I've searched the Internet at no avail. All I've found are issues after the update.
Is there another way of updating my system that I don't know about? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Sharon ,
Thank you for giving that a try. A factory data reset would be the next step. I know you are hesitant to do this, but we can make it easier to restore the phone after it is erased. Do you happen to use Verizon Cloud? It's a great app that you can download from the Play Store and it'll save all of your contacts, pictures, videos, music and documents. If you do not recall your Gmail address and password please take note of them before doing the reset. Then, follow these steps http://vz.to/1hdnWdK to reset your phone. Often times doing this after a software update will resolve any issues you're having.

Droid Razr Maxx HD will not restart

Having a problem rebooting my phone...
Initially it just shut off, with about 80% of charge left. Got home from work, looked up a few solutions and tried the "hold power button, volume down keys for 10 -15 seconds to reboot" trick. Almost worked, but the animation gets to the red orb looking thing and just stays running on that animation until I do the power button/volume down combo again.... same thing.
So far I've let it sit on that animation for a good 45 minutes.
Tried the reboot power/volume down trick 6 or 7 times.
Also tried to plug it into the PC to see if that would trigger something.
No luck.
Any ideas? Any help is much appreciated!

Hi jm4g1c - Let's get your phone thawed out and back to business! Try starting the device in Safe Mode to determine if a 3rd party application is causing the boot error. Here is a link with instructions: http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/66528/
If this fails we will then have to attempt an alternate hard reset: http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/66354/#alt
Please keep me updated on the status as I would be happy to offer additional support if needed.
Thank you,

Droid razr maxx calendar does not show up on gmail calendar even though it says that it has synced?

droid razr maxx calendar does not show up on gmail calendar even though it says that it has synced?

I had this same issue. I solved it finally by downloading the free "official" google calendar disabling the phone calendar app (Google Calendar - Android Apps on Google Play) and disabling the phone calendar. Then you need to choose your gmail account to sync with your calendar app. Now my entries on the phone are showing up on my PC.

New LG Revolution Will not update to Android 2.3.4

I purchased my wife an lg revolution on Feb 7,2012 it will not update to android 2.3. I have an lg revolution as well that was able to update to android 2.3.4 in November. I talked to a rep at a Verizon store he told me that i would have to contact LG, Lg said that they do not do the updates, Verizon does all of the updates. i have kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf build number VS910VZ6 and Software version VS910ZV6 android version 2.2.2. Also i have done a soft reset and a hard reset. i have went to about phone>software update>and check new it says no new software update available which i know is wrong.LG also told me that Verizon could send the update to my phone. thanks

Good Afternoon matt423,
I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you are experiencing in attempting to update your software. The latest available software version for the LG Revolution is: VS910ZV7. I have included additional information below to assist you with verifying the software and processing the update. I apologize we are not able to manually send the update to your handset.

Problem with Droid Razr Maxx and Jelly Bean update

My Droid Razr Maxx was updated this morning and right away found a couple of problems. First, although I was sitting next to my wireless router, the signal display indicated a really weak signal. This seemed to clear up after a reboot and an on-off-on cycle of the wifi on the phone.
The second problem was that, with the wifi off, I had no data signal. None. The phone worked but no 1x/3G/4G. I traced that problem to the phone configuration. Somehow the update turned off Mobile network data access. (Menu -> System Settings -> Wireless Netwroks -> More... -> Mobile networks -> Enable data access over mobile networks)
Seems like a dumb thing for the update to do.

Put all of your contacts in one place, Gmail contacts. Gmail will only sync one copy and is an excellent way to restore contacts after a factory reset. If you have contacts in Gmail, Verizon Backup Assistant, Facemail, etc. then you will probably get multiple copies. Ditch Backup Assistant ASAP if you have it activated.
Make sure all of your contacts are in Gmail Contacts, erase all contacts from your phone (clear data in Settings > Apps > All > Contacts Storage), and resync with Gmail Contacts.

Motoprint on my motorola razr maxx smartphone will not print documents on eprint.

I am able to print from my smart phone by sending a document as an email attachment by wifi to the eprint web page, but Motorola Motoprint will not open a document on my smartphone and send it direct to the printer by my wifi network. My RAZR MAXX has Droid "Ice Cream Sandwich" operating system. My HP printer is the Photosmart model 5515. Motoprint will recognize the printer, but doesn't seem to load the printer drivers.

Hi tedin, if I understand you correctly you are able to use the ePrint service successfully from your smartphone but you are not able to print from your device to your printer over your local WiFi connection using Motorola Motoprint. I'm not familiar with that print app and you may need to refer to the help resources available to see if you can find a solution.
However you can also try to print using HP's free ePrint Home & Biz mobile printing app. You can download it from the Google Play app store here. It will work with your printer model over your local WiFi network.
Post back if you run into any problems trying to print using it.

Razr Maxx Calendar will not sync with Exchange Calendar

My Thunderbolt synced fine....just switched to the Razr Maxx Friday and the Calendar will not sync with my Exchange Calendar. Email and contacts are syncing fine.

I guess I'm screwed. My Razr HD calendar won't sync with Google - apparently all my events were on the phone calendar and not Googe calendar. After following prior posts, I cleared the data on my phone's calendar - now my events are gone and I don't know when my next appointments are. Any way to retrieve that data? Any way to sync the two calendars - or to make sure the darn appointments are placed on the Google calendar and not the stupid phone calendar?
You have to select the Google/Gmail account as the location where to save the event. In the screen where you are adding the info to create the event there is a spot for choosing which calendar to save it to. This is where you pick the Gmail calendar.

Droid RazR Maxx - pop email not working (with Comcast)

On 10/14/2014 my phone starting giving me a message "couldn't sign in" message saying username or password invalid. However, I have used the same username/password via the web and other email clients, so that is NOT the problem. I've searched and searched but have not found anything. I called Comcast and they said they could reset my password, which obviously isn't the problem, and if that didn't work to call Verizon. I've completely removed the email account and tried to setup again and now it gives me the same message during the incoming setup process.
Anybody else experiencing this problem? It's been 2.5 days and no luck resolving despite many attempts.
Thanks

durginpark,
Oh no! Sorry that your Comcast email isn't working. I had to do some research on this one myself. As an Android user, and someone who knows a decent amount about this type of stuff, I was stumped. So I reached out to Comcast myself as well. They advised to use the Xfinity App that is available in Google Playstore and sign in with the App to receive all the Emails going forward. This is also listed as an option in Xfinity Website Support Page. Were you previously just using the email app that came with the phone? Try the Xfinty App and see if that works.

Group Text Messages Won't Download On My Droid Razr Maxx HD

Many times my Droid Razr Maxx HD will not receive group text messages. Often, not always, when I receive a group text I get a message notification and when I look at the screen it simply says "downloading." This downloading can go on for hours. Two days ago one simple text message took 7 hours to download. This is a recent problem probably only going back 3 weeks or so. The other phones in this group text are two I Phone 5's, an I Phone 5 s and a Samsung Galaxy SIII. My phone is used for business and my inability to receive a text quickly is hurting my business. I may as well not have a cell phone. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I, too, am having the same issue. I also notice the phone gets fairly warm/hot at times. This all started after the most recent update. It's highly annoying, as you all know, to see "Downloading 0kb" or "Downloading 30kb" over and over for both group texts as well as standard MMS. Having to turn off WiFi, get the messages/downloads, then re-enable it is a hassle and not one that was present prior to the update.
I've been with Verizon for a little less than 2 years but if pushing out mandatory patches to their phones causes problems like this then I would have no qualms switching to AT&T.
I like my phone and, for the most part, I've liked my service. I've Googled this issue and TONS of people are having it since the update. I hope Verizon is listening to it's customers and working on a patch of some sort.

Droid Razr Maxx Multimedia messages

For the past couple of week, my droid razr maxx has started not to allow me to respond or send anything that is considered a multimedia message. At all. This is extremely frustrating. I'm a college student and often use this as a way to contact my parents, friends, and classmates. My phone is up to date and I have both Wifi and my data plan turned on. I can receive multimedia messages just fine; however, I cannot send or reply to them.
Can anyone help me? I haven't even had this phone for a year and this is just the latest problem I'm having. My sister and mom have this phone as well and they're having no problems whatsoever.

I know it's very important to have an operable device to communicate rcripps. Let's get to the bottom of this! Are you connected to the wifi connection while the wifi setting is on? When you attempt to respond or send do you notice the signal indicator connecting to 3G/4G for a few moments? Are you able to send/respond with wifi off and connected to the Verizon Wireless network? Try powering the device off and removing/inserting the sim here http://vz.to/19QSEGL test and share. Thank you.

Update has completely ruined Droid Razr Maxx Hd

As stated I have a droid razr maxx hd and ever since the kit kat update my phone has been close to useless. I have browsed the forum and seen multiple complaints and proposed solutions to the problems like mine and I have tried them and none have worked. My wifi signal reception is half as good and no changes have been made to the home wifi setttings. Areas in town where I would have full 4g reception including at my home are now 3 bar 3g reception. I have been missing calls for work because the phone is constantly searching for signal and is in between 3g and 4g in areas that before were always max 4g. With wifi turned off, if I pass an open wifi spot the phone will lose all data connection until im out of reach of the wifi spot. The phone shuts down on its own and battery life has been cut in half with absolutely no changes since the update. No new apps no change in how frequent the phone is used. I have done the very harsh factory reset and re-installed apps and no luck. I feel like im out of options and don't know which direction to go because I've still got 5 months before im eligible for an upgrade and I don't think I should have to pay full price for a phone when I enjoyed the phone I had until this update was forced on me. The rep at the local store told me about a plan to pay for the phone monthly but Verizon would be making me pay another 20 bucks a month to buy a new phone that this update screwed up along with me GIVING them the phone I paid for. I don't want to leave Verizon as I liked their service before all of this happening but I cant see paying 600 for a new phone that I didn't tear up. Im almost at the end of my rope...any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have had the same misfortune. I am appalled that I was forced into updating my phone to Kit Kat. My phone just randomly freezes, shuts down, reboots itself, and now I don't have the battery life that it used to have. I could normally leave my phone on for 2-3 days and now it just shuts itself off more than once a day.
It seems none of the "fixes", that have been suggested, work. I don't know about you but I also lost my Swype and this new app they had me download is not nearly as good!!!! Wasn't it Motorola that "forced" the update? ...not Verizon. I know I had to call Motorola for any issues.
We need to have them change the phone back to its original programming... I wasn't asking for an update so why did they send them to all of our Razr Maxx HD phones? AGGRAVATING!!!
If you find out anything new please post it so that everyone can benefit from the knowledge.
Thanks.

Does the VZW Family Locator work on the Droid Razr Maxx after ICS update?

The VZW Family Locator App from "Play Store" finds the Area-Location of my phone to about five miles, but it will not finish the "refining" action before timing out. Am I leaving something undone or is this App only partially compatible with the Droid Razr Maxx.

Benidle, I'll be happy to assist you with Family Locator on your Razr Maxx. The app is compatible, but I just want to make sure that you have the feature active on your account as well. The app in the PlayStore is free to download, but there is a $9.99 charge for Family Locator. You can add this feature on your account by logging into My Verizon.
If you have the feature and are still receiving this error, make sure your location settings are all turned on in Settings, Location Services.
Let me know if you need further assistance!

When does the Droid Razr Maxx get the Jelly Bean Update????

This update was promised before the end of the year! It went out through a mistake to a couple users on December 24th. So when will we get it?

I don't ever remember seeing anywhere that it was promised before Jan 1st. According to Moto's site it has always been and is still listed as:
DROID RAZR (XT912)
ICS (Android 4.0.4) rollout began in June 2012. Will be upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)
DROID RAZR MAXX (XT912)
ICS (Android 4.0.4) rollout began in June 2012. Will be upgraded to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)

Can I upgrade a DROID Razr Maxx to KitKat. Tried running updates and it says I'm fully up to date with s/w version 4.1.2 (Jellybean)

I'm running a two year old Droid Razr Maxx with Android v4.1.2 (Jelly Bean). I'd like to be able to take advantage of some of the new fitness devices out there, but they all require minimum v4.4 (KitKat). Can I upgrade my phone to the new version, or am I stuck replacing this two year old phone with a new one? If I can upgrade, anybody know how to make the phone do it? When I run the normal update routine it comes back saying everything is up to date.

So is it maxed out, then, and can't be upgraded to KitKat? Or is there a way I can force it up to KitKat. Sort of like loading Windows 8 on a machine that was delivered with Windows XP. Reason I want KitKat is Jellybean won't support some of the peripherals I'd like to use. Is it hardware limited so it can't support Bluetooth Smart, for example?

Droid Razr Maxx getting JB update now.

I received ota update this morning. Now I'm just waiting on the Xoom 4g update to JB and I'll finally have all three of my devices on the same OS.
My Nexus 7 has shown me the very nice OS benefits and I'm looking forward to continuity across all 3 devices.

If you have the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, I highly doubt it.
The OP must have the HD version, the JB update is currently rolling out for those models. The original RAZR and RAZR MAXX are still on the schedule to get JB, but there is no time table given for it yet.

DROID RAZR MAXX HD will not update to Android 4.4.2
