My razr has problems in the signal department. It will take forever to switch to 4g or wont switch at all in well known 4g areas. Also the hotspot won't connect to anything.. Furthermore, my speed test results are not normal. I get about a 400+ ping and very bad downlink and uplink on 4g. Where i get, 45 ping and 32mbps down & 11mbps up on a rezound right next to it... So bad phone? bad radios? Or common with the razr?
Sorry for typos.

Sounds like you need to update the Radio, mine was having 3G and Wireless issues as well until I updated it. However the Hotspot seems to have gotten worse, it has problems establishing a connection, and when it actually does connect, the internet fails to work.
I'm hoping ICS comes with a new Radio and resolves these issues.
Well i guess i have a bad razr, since no one else chimed in..

Just to rule out any software issues, I would do a complete factory reset & then flash the .744 fxz file & take the ota to .748. See if that changes any of the problems. If you notice any improvement, flash the .173 leak because it comes with the latest radio & see if that fixes things. What have you got to lose?

My razr does not have the issues you mention. Most of the time I get great 4g. The only problems I find are switching between 3g and 4g is sometimes a little squirrelly.

Definitely try the 6.12.173 leak. It fixes a lot of radio issues, especially 3G/4G transition

The radio/signal on my razr is the best ive ever owned on any device.

Tried the methods above and even tried the moto app on the market. Same results . :-(

The leaked update for 6.12 fixed a lot of the data connectivity issues. Update it and that should fix it.

Okay so my issue is this, when I'm running the ICS. 74 leak I have no issues with 4g connections but when I RSD back to. 173 no 4g at all not even when I update to .181. I have done the obvious things like connection wizard, new sim card, wipe all data etc. Does anyone know of a fix or why this is happening?
Thanks

Hey all,
So I am on vacation at Virginia beach and I notice that my 4g doesn't kick in. I went to "about phone" and it doesn't even say anything about lte in my base band, just cdma. I am on. 181 ota, rooted and never flashed any other roms before , just rooted. What's best way get my 4g here at the beach? Thanks!

ive had the same problem in the past, but it was from fastbooting back to stock after flashing the leak, in which case the 4g radio didnt flash, but if you have never done that, are you sure that the location your in has 4g service?

Yes, I called Verizon to make sure. Also spoke with a lot of people that say their 4g is fine. Shouldn't my baseband have lte or something in it to denote a 4g radio?

Force a reboot by holding vol up and down and power button until it reboots. This usually does it for me.
Moved to proper forum,
try a Profile Update, usually works for me. Or toggle airplane mode
Hi Guys I just got the OTA this moring for ICS and ive noticed that reception is not very good. With GB It was amazing for me. And im not talking BARS im talking about TRUE signal. Sometimes I have no data, and no 3G, Or signal Period in spots where I had with GB.
Can I go back to the GB radio and use it on ICS? If so can someone tell me where I can get the radio and flash it?
Thanks!
My radios are still the same. Strong as ever. Wi-Fi range is great too.

Mine signal went to crap too. At work I get 5 bars on GB and now I get only 2 on ICS. That's wack

One thing they DID do when developing ICS was to make the signal meter more accurate. Apparently, it was reading too high before because of the algorithm used. I don't have the link handy, but it was discussed here recently.
And, in the case of MANY updates like this... sometimes a therapeutic hard reset is needed to shake off any residual file issues from the old OS. My tablet needed that when it got it's ICS update.
My lte and phone signal has been great today! I was having issues with my data dropping consistently on .211. Then again right now I'm in arkansas instead of dallas so there's probably far fewer people on the lte towers here. We'll see tomorrow night when I get home.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Im not talking about how the bars read. My actual SIGNAL is worse. I cant get ANY signal in spots where I had FULL signal before.
Anyone have the GB radio?
There was an article published from google on this. ICS reports the signal differently. It reports it more accurately. Your signal is the same. If you THINK it's different it is strictly placebo effect.

same as GB, worse indoor. atleast at the leak I am on, hope that this will be fixed in the final version.
I see threads on how to flash it but I really wanna know if anybody's who's flashed either of these leaks notice any improvements over the 211 ICS OTA.

I just flashed so I cannot be too judgmental, but my phone now stays on 4g with 3 bars, when it would switch between marginal 4g and 3g before. 4g is just ramping up in our area, so I can hope things will only get better. I can't comment on battery life this soon after the flash.

Cool. More feed back will help too. I mostly use 3G to save data and stay under the cap. But lately my wifi been choppy and i notice lag here and there. Also have some force closes sometimes too.
When I first got on the ICS 211 it was was great. My wireless radios were great, wifi range was good, and ICS was running butter smooth. But lately noticing little bugs. I factory reset like 4 times already lol. Even went into recovery and factory wiped and wiped cache, wiped each twice! The problems haven't gone away.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Does seem much smoother than .211 but I noticed the same when I first ran 211 it was flying but slowed down. Just flashed update today .215. Running very smooth and I live in a horrible signal area lucky to get 3g and its seems more stable than before. So time will tell. Will report back.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
I've run .214 and .215. I've noticed some very slight improvements with these two over .211. I would say connection seems more stable and phone lag been improved a bit. However it seems that these roms don't lock in my gps location near as quick as .211 did.

Yeah I just tested GPS... It is a little slow but works fine once its locked on.

I just flashed 215 last night. Ran speed test on 3G. It's slightly quicker. On 211 and prior my 3G speeds on speed test were consistently around 2.30's MB. Fluctuates between that and sometimes hits 3 MB download speed. Last night running the test on 215 leak, speed was like around 2.50's. Will continue to report back if I notice bugs. Will run more speed test in different locations.

Here are my findings, but bottom line is going from 211 to 215 has been great and my battery seems to last way longer.

Data restriction was automatically added on upgrade to 215. I Had to manually remove it.

My link above will have a few more details I just added, but in my experience so far, a good rule of thumb with .215 seems to be 1h heavy use per 10% battery. Wayyyy better than .211 for me.
Erik
I reverted back to 211. Data speeds showed up faster on speed test app on 215 but it was actually slower in real performance. Data and Wi-Fi kept cutting off and reconnecting on 215. It was too inconsistent for me. Also when I texted the word prediction was insanely retarded and not accurate on 215. Least this was my experience. I did a factory wipe and all but that didn't fix the issues I experienced on 215 leak.

Can anyone attest to their 4g signal after the JB OTA? I'm in LaGuardia right now (Not my home town) and I keep fluxing between 4g and 3g.
I'm curious if it's the airport or just the new radio.
Share your thoughts and let's start a dialogue!?
Mine is worse. Drops to 3g all of the time.

Talking about the ota jb. Leak was OK on signal. Ota seems to drop 4g a lot!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Official OTA radio is leagues worse than the leak.
I constantly drop data connectivity and wifi all the time. it is horrible. I want to go back to the leak.
I got the same but I found that it because of wrong APN. I have to APNs with same name - Verizon Internet. First one uses eHRDP bearer but second one - LTE. Right one APN is second one (LTE bearer). You can change it via Settings->More->Mobile networks->Access Point Names . But sometimes it resets to first one and I don't know why.

You may be on to something. I changed mine to second option and have not lost 4g yet.
Why they have vzwinternet twice is beyond me.
I also changed to lte/cdma instead of global.
