How do I go back to Jelly Bean?

I updated to Kit Kat and had the dreaded battery issue. I did a factory reset to go back to Jelly Bean and it did not, it installed Kit Kat again. I had high hopes that the 'fresh' install would fix my battery problem, it did not.
On Jelly Bean I would take it off charge at 4 AM and be at 40 to 50% remaining at the end of the day 9 - 10 PM. Now, I recharge it around noon.
I want Jelly Bean back... how do I get it back?

I have heard that, but was hopeful Verizon would step up and have another plan. With all the issues, Verizon should give this as an option.
Why is it that when upgrading to KK, it takes out the original OS. None of the others upgrades did that. I reset one phone that was running ICS and it went back to Ginger Bread.
As far as I know since 2009 and the first Android device on Verizon Wireless, you have never been able to officially revert the OS version to the previous version. Same goes true for other android devices on other carriers and wifi only devices.

Jelly bean

I Didn't want to update my phone to jelly bean. My grandson accidentally accepted it. Is there anyway I can delete it to restore back to before it?

Like tikibar1 mentioned, once you did the update, that is the default OS installed on the phone, and even a factory reset will bring it back with Jelly Bean on it.
Honestly, you only were prolonging the inevitable anyway. Once the update gets downloaded it will try to install once every 12 hours, so sooner or later it was bound to install.

How do I change from Firefox 17 to Firefox 16 on my android and can I keep Firefox 17 at the same time on my Windows 7 PC? Whats the best for jelly bean?

Some apps are not compatible on Acer A210 Iconia Tab jelly bean. What are the most recommended apps or widgets for Acer A210? How do I uninstall Firefox 17 and install Firefox 16 on my pc or what is the best version to use with the tablet? Thanks if you have a solution. Using Windows 7 home premium.

The best version to use is Firefox 17 (it's the stable release). as for best apps, it's all up to you on what you want to use.

Stateful session beans are not persisted across restart of the EJB server instance(s) hosting them. You can't treat a Session bean as one would an entity bean.

Updated to Jelly Bean, Account Sync disappeared, how do you turn sync on?

I updated my phone to Jelly Bean and now the account sync function disappeared and I can't find where to turn sync function back on? Anyone else have this problem and locate where to access this function?

Have you tried a factory reset? That fixes most OTA issues.

Google Voice Won't Work With Bluetooth Headset After Jelly Bean

I am SO frustrated. I had no idea I was installing the Jelly Bean update when I updated the software on my phone. Note to Verizon Communications team: PLEASE do a better job of communicating significant software updates. I would not have installed Jelly Bean. I learned long ago to stick with factory OS on my phones.
Since the update, I noticed that I could no longer dictate texts and emails. Also, my call recording app no longer worked. I switched to Swype and it would work for a few minutes and then stop. I could still use my bluetooth headset to make calls and S voice worked (although, like others here, I noticed that it's now worse--it doesn't recognize any contact names I request anymore). After trolling Android forums I found that the problem is with the bluetooth headset. You can still dictate when the phone's bluetooth is on, but when a device is connected, all bets are off.
I almost did a factory reset, but then I read that a hard reset will not restore ICS, nor did it resolve this bluetooth Google Voice issue for the few people who tried it already. In fact, resetting caused more problems (eg., more battery drain and removal of Adobe Flash, etc.).
Does anyone know how I can go back to ICS? Bluetooth and Google Voice are the two features I value most in my phones. This is a NIGHTMARE.

rcschnoor -
The Bluetooth/Voice Search/Dictation issue is a valid issue for the OP, a valid issue for me and oh yeah, the hundreds of other people affected by the, "Google Voice Search stuck on "Initializing" bug filed here on the Google Android Project page. Here is yet another reference to the same issue from Android Central.
The "Google Music freezing after Jelly Bean Update on Galaxy S3" is also a valid and documented bug located here also on the Google Android Project page.
So I ask, how does sharing with these people that do have these issues, and are affected by them, that you are not experiencing these issues help in any way? Isn't that the whole purpose of a community forum to help others?

Can't find Firefox Android menu button in Jelly Bean

I always keep Firefox for Android current to the latest version, but since I upgraded my Android to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 in a Samsung Galaxy S2, I now cannot find the Menu button for Firefox anywhere. I am trying to bookmark a page and your instructions say to press on the Menu button and then on the Star button, but though I've done that in the past in ICS, those buttons apparently do not exist for me now.
Your pictures on the Web show a bar at the bottom of the screen with a Menu icon, as well as a popup menu that shows the Bookmark Star as one of the Menu options. I don't have a Menu icon or any other icons at the bottom of my screen. I have the phone's physical Back button on the lower right below the screen and the <phone's> physical Menu button on the lower left below the screen, but when I tap the <phone's> Menu button while I have a page showing in FF, all I get is a long menu of choices beginning with Share, Find in Page, Request Desktop Site, Tools, etc. There are no choices that give me a Star with which to bookmark a page.
Please advise how I can find the Bookmark Star or change the Settings to make it reappear.
Thank you.

Hi, Swarnava,
Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, however, the "3 dot" icon you outlined in red at the upper right of the FF screen in the screenshot link you sent simply does not exist on my screen. If it did, I would long ago have tried it and all would be well.
Using your image as an example, the "3" that indicates the 3 open tabs is all the way to the far right on my screen, under the time ("5:19"), and the white Search bar (which in your image shows "Add-ons") is wider, taking up all the space to the left of the "3." That "3 dot" icon for the menu just isn't there (or anywhere else that I can find). That's why I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to get into the menu.
I really appreciate your response and hope that you or someone can come up with a way to make my FF menu key reappear. If no other solution is available, I guess I'll have to uninstall FF, then reinstall it and hope for the best.
Thanks again for your help.

Possible update solution for some Jelly Bean issues on Razr Maxx

I bought a Razr Maxx used two weeks ago and wanted to a post a possible solution to the broken Jelly Bean update. My Razr Maxx (practically new) was slow, lagged, and gave me about 10 hours of battery life. Also, my Wi-Fi was horrible just 10 feet from the wireless router and it ran hot.
Before I chucked it for a used S3 I decided to do what others had done. Keep in mind, the phone had been previously factory reset after the JB update had been OTA'ed to the unit a few months ago. It was put in a drawer as the person bought a new phone.
So to be clear: It had gone through a factory reset but without clearing internal memory and had serious issues. I had cleared the Dalvik cache but it didn't help. Here's what fixed my phone:
I did a battery recalibration. This can be done by running the phone down to zero. Shutting it off and charging it overnight. This may have to be performed twice.
Backed up my files, removed the mSD card and from the OS, erased the internal storage. I also went into the Settings / Privacy and set Automatic Restore to off.
I cleared the Dalvik Cache again.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-maxx/232462-how-wipe-cache-without-doing-factory-reset.html
I booted into safe mode.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=50079
From the OS within safe mode, I performed a factory reset and had it clear the internal storage again.
Started the setup process.
Cleared Dalvik Cache again.
The result is a smooth "buttery" feel (well, as smooth as this platform can offer) no massive lagging like before where the phone would just lock up for five seconds, no over heating, WiFi is seemingly normal and battery life is Maxx instead of Min. To give you an idea, the phone had been on light use and on for maybe 13 on battery when I did the reset. I did the hard reset from a 65% battery and reinstalled all the apps over WiFi and reconfigured. At 2:30 a.m. it was at 1 percent so I set the screen to 100% brightness and played a video until it died about 3 a.m. Basically the screen was on and the phone being used from around 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. after coming off the charger at 8 a.m. the previous morning.
Will this work for you? I don't know but I know the Jelly Bean in place upgrade on this phone is pretty flaky from the complaints.
If your phone has been turned into a pile of junk by the update, you have nothing left to lose unless you're just using it as a bargaining chit to get a new phone from VZW.
Good luck to anyone who tries it.
If you are trying to diagnose battery issues, I recommend GSAM.

Jelly Bean update completely killed true hands free voice dialing.

Regardless of the fact that S-Voice (as well as Google Voice dialing/search) is unable to recognize most of my contacts, it's also a fact that by definition, it cannot work as a true hands free voice dialer, which is defined as the ability to make a call without touching (or even seeing) the phone AT ALL. This is due to the simple fact that neither S-Voice nor Google Voice dial/search allows you to say "yes" or "no" to a phone number confirmation prompt. In other words, you need to see the screen at some point in order select the correct number to dial. Prior to the Jelly Bean update, this issue was relatively easily solved by using a third party app -- I preferred an app called "Cyberon Voice Commander" -- to take over the voice dialing duties. The first time you hit the Bluetooth button after installing the app, you could select the default program to respond to the BT button. I simply selected the Cyberon Voice Commander app, and everything worked from this point forward -- I could dial a number without ever taking the phone out of it's case.
With the Jelly Bean update, however, this is suddenly no longer possible because S-Voice completely takes over the Bluetooth button, and does not allow another app to take over as the default. The "launch by default" section for S-Voice in the application manager is now greyed out, and says "no defaults set" for S-Voice even though S-Voice is set as the default program to launch when pressing the BT button. The only "potential" solution is to completey "disable" S-Voice via the application manager, which does allow you to select Cyberon Voice Commander as the default BT button press app, but there are two problems with this. First, the default resets when turning the phone on even though you select "always" for the CVC app. This means that you have to re-select the third party app as the default BT button app EVERY time the phone is turned off. Second, disabling S-Voice is not a solution because I still would like to use it for things OTHER than voice dialing. Disabling it completely removes it from the menu, making it unusable even for things that it is better at.
I cannot believe how hard S-Voice is being shoved down our throats. Why would they make it mandatory? The whole point of Android is that it's supposed to be "open" and allow users to individually decide on their own way of doing things -- i.e. to offer multiple approaches that suit your preferences rather than adopting a narrow minded "we decide what's best" attitude. This is the whole reason that I moved away from Apple. This S-Voice situation, however, is just ridiculous. It's fine to push it as an "option," but please keep it OPTIONAL -- particularly given that it literally CAN'T do what other apps do (i.e. true hands free dialing.)

A few things you can try ... turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, wait a few minutes, then reinsert the SIM card and re-boot the phone. Maybe a fresh connection to the network will improve the signal/call quality.
Do a system cache clear; it won't delete your data:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
You should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select
If all else fails, back everything up, remove the SD card to be on the safe side, and factory reset the phone. No, it's not a preferred option, but sometimes that is what it takes to 'clear out the cobwebs' after an operating system update.

Why won't my home wifi work after jelly bean update?

My phone updated to jelly bean on tuesday morning, and i noticed i cannot connect to my home wifi. It will connect at school or work however. I have tried turning off and on my phone and my router. I know its not my connection because my other devices all connect to it. When i go to the wifi on my phone, it detects my home wifi with a full signal, but when i put the password in to connect, it says the signal is poor and it just repeatedly tries to connect. Is there any way that i can get my wifi to work again? If i have to and if there is a way i will uninstall jelly bean if thats the only way to get it to work again.

Here is my current situation with a brand new Razr HD:
-Linksys WRT54GL with updated firmware
-New Razr HD purchased 5 days ago
-System Version: 9.16.6.X926
-Android Version 4.1.2
-Build Number 9.8.1Q-62_VQW_MR-2
My Mom got the same phone at the same time and has dropped calls, poor wifi signal and range, etc.
I have fully set up my phone with apps and all settings perfect, cleared the system cache, one factory reset and input all app usernames and passwords again, etc.
My phone is perfect, except for not connecting to wifi in a room downstairs from the router where all other devices, a Nook, 10-year old DELL laptop, and Droid Incredible get 4 full bars of wifi strength. This Razr does not connect at all and rarely if it does when I leave the door open gets one bar of strength and is useless.
I love the phone so much I am reluctant to swap it out and lose all my app settings and customization. I read that it isn't mattering if you swap it out, still the same problem. But it's bothering me and I want it right so I went to the Verizon store today to test it and swap it out for a new different one. They don't perform tests and didn't know what I was talking about. Very abrasive staff and manager tried to research the issue for a half an hour, then said they had a call in to Motorola. If I wanted to swap it out I could but that would be my one swap and that's it.
I have actually spent so much time and effort on this I wanted to get a MAXX HD for my wasted time and frustration. That is simply out of the question. I stood there with my phone connected to the Verizon wifi network in the store with one bar of wifi strength, while the display connected to the same network showed a full network signal all bars.
They were so abrasive, demanding that it doesn't matter how many wifi bars you get it will still connect to the Internet. I said no that's not true this device will not connect in my bedroom while all other old devices get full wifi strength. They didn't care.
They were so reluctant in the matter that I decided to walk out and watch for an update to Jelly Bean to solve the issue. People are taking their phones back and it doesn't fix this. It seems to be strictly a Jelly Bean update fix.
I will watch my phone, only use wifi in large areas that usually work fine, etc. My question is: When will there be a Jelly Bean update pushed out to Razr HD owners on Jelly Bean so they will have comparable wifi and signal strength to every other wifi enabled device that exists?
Thanks
PS. I have tried every single router and phone setting mentioned on any forum. Same thing. This requires a 2nd update.

Can I avoid this Jelly Bean system update?

I see so many issues being posted. I am not a techie and cannot afford to spend hours fixing problems that come from a software update. Can I just not do the update? Will maybe the bugs be worked out and I can do it after that? Thanks for any help you all can provide.

Yes, there is an issue. See the post from Ann154 etc. about the lost punctuation bar: "NO...it was on the bar where the autocorrect spelling words come up right above the touch screen keyboard and you do not have to shift any keys to use it...it is touch screen and it has ? ! and some others and they are now gone and I have to shift for every punctuation and it ***** and the autocorrect doesn't auto correct...just gives suggestions which I have to touch to correct. I type documents all day and this is just not going to work for me" That's exactly what's happened to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus which is only a few months old and has only had one app added to what it came with.
I know about selecting the 123 button but that's not what I'm referring to. I need the autopunctuation choices that I had previously. Unfortunately, turning the device on and off did not work for me. Still not seeing the lost punctuation bar. Cynindesign expresses the same fear I have about using a hard reset and what Backup Assistant will restore. And I have searched forums as has been suggested twice and not found out how to back up things. As I said before, I not a techie, a smart professional with degrees and experience, but a neophyte when it comes to smartphones. Can you give me the link to the instructions?
Do you work for Verizon? Is there a way to have some kind of update or other fix to address these bugs with the Jelly Bean update? Can I go to a Verizon store to get this fixed. Thanks.
Once again (and I see your keyboard "issue" has been resolved) a hard reset is in order. The store is not going to be as nice. They will reset it and you most likely will lose your pictures. You have back up assistant and google. your contacts will be fine. I do not work for verizon. And search is yoru friend. why should I search for you?

Cannot get screen to turn on during call after Jelly Bean

Got my Jelly Bean update the other day. Afterward I noticed the issue when trying to check my voicemail. Called *86, screen went black and I was unable to get it back on using the power button (like I usually do) so I could not enter my voicemail pin. Verified the phone was still on the call since it would tell me to enter my pin and then finally hang up. I cannot get the screen to come on via other calls either incoming or outgoing. This makes the phone virtually useless as a phone since the update. I have done a full factory reset following the instructions on Verizon's site and prevented the phone from doing a full restore, so it did not pull down all of my apps again in case that was somehow a problem. Still no joy. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Sorry, the email alert got eaten my by spam filter and I just found it.
I have a screen protector on the phone, but not a case. I have had my device for about two years now. There is no damage to the phone at all. The device was working perfectly fine until the Jelly Bean update. Ever since then I have had this problem.
After reading MitchF's response I removed the screen protector that I had on the device and it appears that it may be working at this time.
What does not make sense to me is that why, as soon as I got the JB update, my screen protector became a problem when it had been working just fine through past updates to 4.0+ for almost two years (minus the last few weeks).

Xperia J- Problem in touch after Jelly Bean Update

Hello Friends,
I am facing a serious problem in Xperia J after the Jelly Bean Update.
1) The touch functionality is not working, ie, I am not able to tap the icons to open an app
2) The back/ home button does not respond to touch
The next point is very interesting:
3) The touch automatically happens, ie, when I just unlock the screen by sliding the unlock button, then automatically the apps get selected, closes by itself, ofens the inner pages which I cant even control.
Please help by atleast advising me on how to down grade the softwareback to ICS.
Thanks in advance,
~Viswanath

It would be worthwhile running a repair:
To repair the phone software
1.     Install PC Companion on a Windows PC from Support
2.     Turn on the phone, and connect it to the PC using a USB cable.
3.     In PC Companion, under Support Zone and click Start.
4.     Under Phone Software Update, click Start.
5.     Click repair phone.
6.     Follow the on-screen instructions.

Jelly Bean Update Fails

I've tried 8 times now to update my Razr Maxx with the new Jelly Bean update. It downloads fine, but fails during install. Any advice is appriciated.

jimfitzgerald wrote:
If you haven't already, do a factory reset then the update.
Just remember that if you do a factory reset, you will be resetting your phone back to the point it would be new to you. You will have to link it to your google account again, sync everything, add all the apps back, setup email, etc.
Please make sure this is the last resort to try. Have you tried just restarting your phone? How much storage is available on the internal store area? Is your charge on the phone sufficient (Plugged in?)

Jelly Bean Update Droid 4 phone

Do I have to update to jelly bean? And is not how do I stop the update request?

Well i'll answer that.. This way the answer is No you don't have to "update" you can push if off as long as you like i'm doing this on one of my Razr Maxx's). Your phone can take the O.T.A. just don't down load the OS into the phone or you will have the New Update..
Now that being said my other Razr Maxx does have it and it's not doing to bad with the new Updated OS there are some minor issues though.. One i'm seeing and so are others with there new Motorola's is the Apps.! Google's Music Play and Google Voice Commands are Clashing that is when you update the Music App.. It's causing Commands to Close down but if you Uninstall the Music App back to Factory.. Voice Commands will start to Work again.. But this is Only happening on my Jelly Bean Razr Maxx i'm not seeing the Issue on my Ice Cream Sandwich Razr Maxx..
But other than this little set back.. It's not a bad OS b33 Too add.. If you have any more Questions fill free to ask i'm on here most of the Time..
