I just think it's funney that t-mobile just got the unlimited plan back just as verizon "ends" it. In the t-moblie ads, it seem's like using some # over 300GB a month is ok. So I just think if they can do that, then verizon should just let us keep it as long as we don't go over 300+GB.
They also have a smaller number of smartphone uses, and overall customers. Sprint which has double their customer base openly stated at some point they have no choice to drop unlimited data as it is unsustainable.
People fail to realize they pay out to landline providers which charge them per TB of usage. They also pay for overages. The more users the easier it is to hit that cap, and the easier to a lot of overages.

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?

My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

HT5815 The most important piece of info about an update I need is how much data does it require. I am travelling and using prepaid data. I cannot even consider an update until I know how much data it will use. Please provide this information.

Is my Droid Razr Maxx xt912 locked for use with another carrier's SIM - either in the U.S. or globally?

Is the Verizon Droid Razr Maxx XT912 locked to prevent using another carrier's SIM in the U.S.? Is it blocked to prevent use of another carrier's SIM outside the U.S.?
Thanks

Hi MattFlash, that is a great questions and I would be happy to help! The good news is that all of our 4G devices would be unlocked and ready for use with another carrier, so the Maxx is ready to go. If you would like to use another carriers service you may need their SIM card and would then need to follow their activation procedures. Hope this helps!

I used the Migration Assistant to move data from my Time Machine to my new Mac.   Most data seems to have been transferred successfully but none of my iPhoto pictures have been transferred.
My Time Machine now shows the earliest available Back-up to be after the Migration Date.   My iPhoto pictures seem to have either been lost in the migration process or are locked in my Time Machine prior to the earliest back-up date now accessible.
Any advice on recovering my old iPhoto pictures would be greatly appreciated.

First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

Droid Razr Maxx HD out of the USA use

Ok, so I upgraded to the Droid Razr Maxx HD a month ago , which is an international phone, already unlocked.
I arrived in India 5 days ago and bought a Airtel SIM card. Airtel is on GSM and offers 2G and 3G.
Until now I was not able to make this SIM card work in my phone though. My friend takes this same card into his old "dumb" phone, and he can receive and make calls right away.
I emailed Verizon and the response time is fast, but of no use so far.
Does anybody have better experience or can help what might be the issue here?
Thanks for any input.

Snooter, I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your SIM card. Are you having problems with your SIM card that provides you service? Or are you having problems with your SD memory card? This is where you store some pictures.
If you reformat your SD memory card you will lose everything that is on the card.
If it is your SIM card that provides you service you can replace it and it will not lose anything.

What uses the most data on these phones

My step daughter goes over her monthly data allowance every month, I'm not sure what she is doing that is using so much of the data, does anyone have any ideas

The phone does not use data from your allowance if she is using wifi. Make sure she is logged on correctly.
You may all be on FB and Instagram, but do you use it in the same fashion and as regularly as your daughter? You can both be on FB, but if she uses it for 3-4 hours and you use it for 30 minutes, the usage will not be the same. Do you use FB while riding school bus? Does your daughter? No wifi on school bus I would wager. Does your daughter watch videos posted on FB? If not on wifi at the time, that uses a LOT of data.
Do you post as many photos on Instagram as your daughter? I know I certainly don't. Each of those photos use data to upload unless done so via wifi.
You may ALL be on certain apps, but I doubt you use the app in the same fashion as a teenage daughter UNLESS you have gone over with her how she should be using it to stay within a set data limit.
You asked for ideas on what could be using data. EACH of the apps I mentioned COULD be using data. Doesn't mean they are, it all depends on how the app is being used. Different people use apps differently. Simply because one person does not use data on an app does not mean another could be using a lot of data on the very same app.
Other sources for large amounts of data usage would certainly be iTunes. Does she download music, podcasts, videos, etc... while using cellular data? That would consume a LOT of data.

Droid Razr Maxx HD release date??

RAZR / RAZR MAXX Helpful Tips..

Tip No. 1 Battery Tips..
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/product_page/faqs/p/30,6720,8417
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and will naturally degrade over time. You've probably experienced this with other battery-powered products - you find yourself charging the battery more often as the charge just doesn't seem to hold as often as it once did. Eventually, you may need to replace the internal battery.
There are a couple of things you can do before replacing the battery. Sometimes it's a matter of changing a few settings that will ensure you're getting all the power you can from your battery. Motorola Customer Service can help you with this process over the phone.
Before you call:
We recommend that you completely deplete the battery by allowing the device to completely shut down when the battery has depleted.
Once your product shuts down, plug it into the charger that came in the original box, and allow it to charge to 100%.
Once you've completed this charging cycle, call Motorola Support at 800-734-5870, and the team will diagnose your battery, and recommend setting changes or actions.If your battery does need to be replaced, we offer two battery replacement options:
The battery only replacement program lets you send your product to Motorola so that we can replace the battery and return the device back to you. If your device is within the warranty period there is no charge for this service. If your device is outside of the warranty period, the cost of this service is $49 plus applicable taxes.
You can expect to receive the device back approximately 5 business days from the time we receive the device. Use our online repair submission process to get going.
With the expedited battery replacement program, for an extra charge we'll provide you with a FedEx label to return your product. If your device is within the warranty period the charge for this service is $19 plus applicable taxes. If your device is outside of the warranty period, the cost of this service is $69 plus applicable taxes.
You can expect to receive the device back 3 days after we receive the unit. Use our online repair submission process to get going.

Things you should know about your battery
This product uses a non-removable battery. The battery should only be replaced by a Motorola-approved service facility. Any attempt to remove or replace your battery may damage the product.
The DROID RAZR MAXX is feature-rich and can run a virtually limitless number of applications, making it useful for many tasks. Your particular usage will affect how long you can go before recharging your battery. Playing games, running applications, and surfing the Web increase the power use of the computer-like functions of the DROID RAZR MAXX. Calling and texting utilize its phone functions. Depending on your use mix, time between charges will vary. We know you want to use the device to its fullest and offer you these tips to help you get the most from your phone while going as long as possible between charges.
New batteries are not fully charged. Plug the battery charger into your phone and an electrical outlet. Your phone might take several seconds to start charging the battery. Charging time from 0% takes approx. 5.5 hours.
Tips:
It is recomended to use a wall charger to charge the phone instead of USB cable plugged in to a computer.
It may take several charging cycles for your battery to reach optimum performance.
If your device is completely discharged, it may take several minutes for the device to begin charging.
Ensure you are using a Motorola specific charger. Other chargers might take longer to charge your battery, or cause your calls to fail during charging.
Tips to extend battery life:
During initial set up of your Google and social networking account, your phone's battery may drain faster than usual due to the amount of data transferred. After the initial sync, and a few charging cycles, your battery will reach its maximum capacity.We strongly recommend to keep the phone attached to the charger during the initial sync.
See where you power is going: Tap Home > Menu > Settings > Battery information > Battery use.
When setting the phone down after use, quickly press the power key to invoke a blank screen. Selecting a shorter back light duration will also help conserve power by blanking the screen when not in use.
Lower the display brightness. Set Brightness to Automatic or low: Tap Home > Settings > Display >Brightness
Set Screen timeout to 1 minute or less: Tap Home > Settings > Display > Screen Timeout
Turn animation off: Tap Home > Settings > Display > Animation > No animation
Turn off GPS when not in use. Active GPS can take a lot of power. Exit from navigation apps when not in use. Tap Menu > Settings > Location & Security > Use GPS satellites and Use wireless networks uncheck.
Turn WiFi off when not in use : Tap Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Uncheck Wi-Fi
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use: Tap Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Uncheck Bluetooth
Applications which uses battery power: Certain streaming Music, Music Players, Talk, Video Chat, Navigation, Weather, and Map apps. widgets and live wallpapers, are notorious battery drainers. In addition certain Facebook, Twitter, Email and other apps that constantly sync over the internet can reduce your battery life. We recommend you use the Motorola task manager application. Task Managers let you monitor how apps use memory and processing power and identify apps that are using too many resources.
Reboot your phone If you are getting only a few hours of battery life or your phone is running slow, it is probably not your phone. An app or widget is probably the cause. Restart your phone to clear background apps: Press and hold the power button > Tap Power off. Then turn the phone back on. Daily reboots can help keep rogue apps from taking battery life.
Use the AC adapter to charge your phone whenever possible.
Toggle Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS on or off as needed. These can be placed on your desktop by selecting an open area of your screen and selecting them. individually or using the Android Power Control Widget.
Clear all notifications from the notification bar as much as possible.
Ensure you do not have have duplicate email accounts. Duplicate email account will drain battery life. To check for duplicate email accounts, touch > My Accounts > Advanced set up and ensure there are no duplicates. To remove an account, touch the account > Menu > Remove account.
We suggest charging each night so you start the day fully charged and ready to go!
Tip No.2 Screen Lock..

How does my screen lock and unlock features work with the Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) upgrade?
With Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) your device now has several different lock options available.
To access your lock options, touch > Settings > Security.
Screen Lock Options
Slide - provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home screen quickly, or open Camera and start taking pictures immediately.
Face Unlock - lets you unlock your phone by looking at it. This is the least secure lock option.
Pattern - lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the phone. This is slightly more secure than Face Unlock.
PIN - requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be more secure.
Password - requires four or more letters or numbers. This is the most secure option, as long as you create a strong password.
The Lock Screen on Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream sandwich) uses two timers. The first timer is the "Sleep" timer which turns off the device display to extend battery life. You can turn the display on and swipe to unlock. The second timer called the "Automatic lock" timer turns on security features like pin, pattern, password or face unlock and protects the device from unknown users. This "Automatic lock" timer begins after the "Sleep" timer expires and you will be asked to enter personally recognizable data like pin, pattern, password or the face unlock when the display is powered on.To adjust the "Automatically lock" timer go to Settings > Security > Automatically lock > Select desired time frame.To adjust the "Sleep" setting go to Settings > Display > Sleep > Select desired time frameIf you are using facial recognition and do not want the "slide to unlock" to appear, set the "automatic lock" timer to "5sec".Power button instantly locksThere is a new option in Android 4.0.4 which will automatically lock the device when the display is on and the power button is pressed. As soon as the power button is pressed your device will lock.To activate the "Power button instantly locks" setting, go to Settings > Security > Toggle the Power button instantly locksIt is important to note your phone may contain security policies set by your IT administrator which may override any settings you attempt to set under screen security.

RAZR MAXX drops calls "on command" and randomly

I have a RAZR MAXX (two months old). If I use my Plantronics Pro HD Bluetooth device, the phone will suddenly drops a phone call without any reason. If I don't use the BT device and use only the phone/speaker, everything is working fine. The same goes if I connect another BT device as well as a wired earpiece. It suddenly gives the loud beep in the ear and the call gets disconnected. This happens 2-3 times per day out of 40 phone calls.
My boss has a RAZR MAXX as well, and he has the same identical problem... only today, he was able to "make" the phone drop the call by simply placing the phone back into the holster. He uses only a wired earpiece and the call would drop ONLY when the earpiece is connected. We tried a phone call by having the conversation on the speaker, and he was able to place the phone into the holster without any problem... the moment he connected the earpiece plug to the phone, I got the beep and the call got disconnected.
Can ANYONE confirm or had any experience with this crap?

You are absolutely correct. The person who deleted my posts AND his own post which made no sense whatsoever to the initial question I posted, is probably reading this post with interest, as I'm reporting this incident to Verizon's Admins.
Here is what my boss discovered in the last few days since I posted the question:
1. Him and I use a leather holster with a latching magnets to close the flap. When he placed his phone in the holster while on call, and closes the flap, the call gets disconnected... but ONLY if his $50 wired (forget Bluetooth for a moment) is connected to the phone. He now uses a piece of Velcro (ugly but works) to hold the phone in the holster. When the flap is open, he can use the phone WITH the wired earpiece without a problem. There is no question it is a design issue of the phone.
2. In my case, the fist call of the day today, which I used the speaker option, not even my BT, the call was disconnected after 3 seconds... It is definitely the phone. This is without turning the BT ON...
So far, the only way MY phone is working properly as a phone is when I bring it close to my head and talk... For free cancer catalyst I can go out to the desert and enjoy the sun... The phone is a pain AS A PHONE.
3. I know for sure it is NOT Verizon. I'm with the company for year and used BlackBerries until the RAZR MAXX... Maybe I'll need a PHONE phone AND and RAZR MAXX as a data device... so why did I buy the tablet?....
So far, only by playing with the phone things work... But I don't have time to play with the phone every day just to make some calls and mainly to receive many calls....

Bright light on front droid razr maxx

Yesterday my razr maxx would not allow me to browse the internet. All I had to do was reboot. Ok. Simple. I get that. Computers have to be rebooted at times. This is a computer. NOW, my phone will not turn on, nothing. I plugged it in to charge and a bright white light comes on.
I realize that to most people this might not be a big deal...it will get fixed. I don't know why it's really making me angry.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thank you.

Droid Razr & Droid Razr Maxx Accessories the same?

Can someone tell me if the accessories for the Droid Razr are the same as the Droid Razr Maxx? I'm upgrading to the Droid Razr Maxx and wonder if the Docking station, charging cords and car charging cords will work on it. I'm thinking they will, but want to make sure. I believe the plugs are all the same. My concern is mostly the Docking Station.
By the way Ice Cream 4.0 should be coming out this year, but there is no set date for the Droid Razr or Maxx yet. So, it may not be until 3rd or 4th Quarter until it comes out.

I did some digging on this subject after you brought it to my Attention! An this is what i found the Car Dock that was Designed for the Razr is Only for the Razr an Not Maxx you can put the razr in it as a bare phone no Case or Take the insert out an put the Razr that's in a case in it!.
As for the Razr Maxx it has to have the Dock specifically Maid for it So it Will match up with the Dock Pins!! Using the one for the Regular Razr will cause a Miss alignment..
The One Hundred Dollar $100.00 Bundle that Verizon is Selling has the Car Dock for the Regular Razr Only!! It however though has the Home Dock that will Work for Both Razr an Razr Maxx..
This is the Correct Container Box for the Car Dock.. for the Razr Maxx

Push Notifications on Razr MAXX

Is anyone else having issues with push notifications on their Razr Maxx? Mine specifically is with my eBay and Yahoo! Mail. I have to go in the application to retrieve the information that should've been pushed to me. I have double/triple checked the settings and they all seem to be correct. Any ideas?

Have you got the Most recent Update If so you might try a Clear of the Cache Partition.. You might even have to Do a F.R. But try the Cache Clear First..b33
