Is droid maxx unlocked?

Before we left for Costa Rica, I asked  Verizon whether our Droid Maxx could take a Sim card from a vendor down here. I was assured that it would work.
We tried a Movistar store, but it did not pick up any network.
Is there something special I have to do?
Right now, I only have an HP tablet, running Android and can't get to the support chat
Help me please!

    @Skydaver2,
Let's get you up and running! I definitely understand the importance of being able to use your phone while traveling in Costa Rica.
I do see that the Droid Maxx is a global phone and it is unlocked for you to use a local carrier's SIM card. Unfortunately, we are unable to troubleshoot the phone with a different carrier's SIM card. You will need to reach out to the local carrier for assistance.
If you want to use VZW service while in Costa Rica you will need to add Global services to your line. Visit http://vz.to/1aGvDAs for information on what you need and the rates.

  • Can't download apps to my Motorola Droid Maxx

    Motorola Droid Maxx, Android version 4.4.
    I've never been able to download apps to this phone. I go to the
    Google Play Store and go through the process of downloading apps, and after
    clicking Install, I get a message stating "Congratulations
    <app_name> will be installed on your device soon." Then I click the
    OK button, but the apps NEVER install. In fact, when I go to Settings ->
    Apps and view the Downloaded tab, it displays this message: "No apps
    downloaded yet." I've tried to download several apps in the 9 months that I've
    owned this phone, and this is always what happens.
    My Google account is setup on this phone, and I'm receiving gmail via the gmail app on this phone.
    I've removed and reinstalled the SIM card, and cycled the power on the phone,
    but nothing changes. What am I missing?
    Jeff

    try to do it from a pc. go to the play store on a web browser and sign in with your google account. select an app and then choose install. if you're signed in there and your phone is signed in with the same google account, then it should bring up permissions and show you where you select which device to install it too. if it works, you'll at least know that the issue isn't with your google account and you'll have a temporary fix and way to get apps. if it doesn't work or your phone doesn't show up as a device to install to, then i suspect the issue is with your google account. if it works, it will show up on your phone immediately.

  • Trying to use hangouts for sms on verizon droid maxx but "can't compose"

    I'm trying to use hangouts for SMS on my Verizon Droid Maxx but the message "Can't compose. No default SMS app." displays when I try to compose (+") a new message, even though the top of the screen says that "Hangouts is your SMS app".  What do I need to do?

        Good Afternoon, dgcaskey,
    I love my Hangouts application. Let's see if we can get this up and running for you. Have you been able to use this application before? Or did you just installed this app onto your phone? Have you been able to delete the application off the phone and redownload it? When you receive a text message does it come in through the Hangouts app or the normal stocked application that is on the phone? Please keep us posted.

  • My droid maxx display has a mind of its own.  Keeps going back to the home screen by itself and the hard keys on the bottom not working properly.  I was told my someone that it could be the screen sensor.  Any help?

    This Droid Maxx is loosing its mind.  The display started going crazy yesterday and nothing helps.  I have even done a hard reset and still screwed up.  Suggestions anybody

    Run it in Safe Mode see what it Does.. There could be a 3rd Party app that is causing the issue..

  • Battery drain on Droid MAXX that was just updated to 4.4.4

    I updated my Droid MAXX to Android 4.4.4 last week.  I can not longer even go a full day on a 1-0% charge.  I used to be able to go 1.5 to 2 days but now the battery seems to drain extremely fast with the new OS.  Anyone else experiencing this? 
    Also will not keep a WiFi connection - does not even see saved Wifi connections.  If enter new, just saves connection and will not connect.

    I agree with tbo27 with running a Factory Reset as you can't uninstall what was Downloaded. the more I see these post the harder to read..

  • "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error keeps popping up and text messages are not being received on Droid Maxx I got less than 2 weeks ago.

    I upgraded to a Droid Maxx about 2 weeks ago and all seemed well. Last Friday, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message randomly--sometimes when I was writing a text, sometimes when I would open other apps, there was no rhyme or reason to when it would occur. Now it also appears that I am not receiving some of my texts. I called Verizon Support who told me that they are experiencing this problem on several devices and that she was going to forward me to someone for help. 20 minutes later, no one had picked up and I had to leave. So I thought I would try here to see if Verizon has come up with a fix for this, if I should get another phone, or if they are working on a software update or something. Help, I really liked this phone until now!

    Hello,
    I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
    The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.

  • Does anyone have Bluetooth failures with Mot Razr Droid Maxx using car hands free systems

    Both my wife and I have Razr Droid Maxx's and are having the same problems with our respective cars.  At times, the phone will drop the bluetooth connection and it will have to be rebooted at which point it will be discovered and re-connected to the car.  The problem is NOT in the car, as we have a Ford Fusion and a Toyota Camry and we encounter the same problem with both.
    Both phones are running Ice Cream Sandwich and we have verified all of the bluetooth settings at both ends of the connection.For some reason the phones.
    The problem is particularly annoying in that, at least in the Camry, you are unable to reconnect the phone while driving, so you have to pull over and put the car in Park in order to do it.
    Verizon tech support and the Verizon store have been of no help.  They simply shrug their shoulders and say they have never heard of the problem.
    Has anyone else had issues like this?

    I use Razr HD Maxx and used to have bluetooth disconnect problems during the calls. I tried everything I could think of, all in vain. Factory-reset solved the problem only for a while. Finally, I have found that some communication apps like Viber have the nasty habit of asserting itself every few minutes during non-Viber calls and reset both the bluetooth and speakerphone state to the default mode. This causes bluetooth to disconnect or turn off the speakerphone a few minutes into every non-Viber call. If you have an app like Viber, try either freezing it or uninstalling it. Uninstalling Viber was the only permanent solution to my bluetooth disconnect problems.

  • Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?

    Help with lost Droid MAXX. Lost it a week ago while I had it turned off, I cannot track it until it is turned on. Is there anyway to remotely turn on the device?

       Have you tried randomly using Google - Device Manager? Though it will not track the Droid Maxx when it's turned off. It will show the last time the phone was turned on. To see if that coincides with the last time you had the phone on.

  • How can I create text templates on Droid Maxx?

    How can I create text templates or automatic responses on my Droid Maxx?

        @dannybedo
    I can understand the need to quickly reply to text messages without having to type the entire message.  The Motorola Droid Maxx comes with a feature called "Motorola Assist" that allows you to perform these tasks.  See more details on page 22 in the Device User Manual here: http://vz.to/1wW6P3B.

  • My droid maxx fell into a deep puddle got out as quickly as I could what do i need to do to make it work again

    My droid maxx fell into a deep puddle of water just a few moments ago .  Got it out as fast as I could  but can't take battery out for the droid maxx what do i do?

    While there is nothing you can do to guarantee it will work again, there are things you can do to increase the chances.
    Dry it off as best you can with a towel or some type of cloth. Do not try to turn it back on. If it is on, turn it off as soon as possible to lessen the chance of shorting out the phone. Place it in a sealed plastic bag with a dessicant for several days. Something similar to THIS would work best. They are the little bags which come in shoes/electronics to keep moisture from them, but if you do not have ready access put the phone in a sealed plastic bag filled with uncooked rice.
    Leave it in for several days before taking it out and giving it a try.

    Well mounting to Dashboard in some instances could be Very Dangerous  to the phone and to you especially if you have Airbags in your Car,  if the phone is the zone of the Airbag and if the Air bag should deploy it could catch the phone and throw it like a projectile at you possibly or your passenger..  It might be better to put the phone in a safer area while driving..
    When I drive I always put my phones in the Center console or one of the Cup Holders that we have in our new Taurus..
    I'll add in a screen shot later.. of were i put them..
