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
Johnny

Have you tried the Motorola Restore Connectivity Settings app?

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

Att SIM card works on Verizon RAZR! Just needs little modification. Does not even require root! Thanks to the bionic forum

does data work ?
what "little modification" are we talking about
write up ? link ?
The procedure...
Data does work because I get an "H". But i choose to turn off data because i do not want to be billed.
I am on ics.
This is what I did (modified from the bionic forum)
- got an att sim card activated with a basic gsm phone
- turned off razr
- replaced the Verizon sim card with att Sim card
- turned on phone. You will get an "unknown sim card" error. Press ok
- go to system setting>more> mobile networks> select GSM/UMTS
- click back button, select access point names, select AT&T US (wap.cingular)
- press *#*#4636#*#*
- go to phone information, select WCDMA preferred, below it, turn off radio then turn it back on, exit by pressing home
- turn off data sync in the mobile data networks. Also turn off wifi.
- wait up to 30 minutes or more to let the phone connect to the network

I've heard of people getting AT&T text and calls to work on a XT912 but to date, I've not read of anyone getting data to work. Can you confirm that you have working data (without wifi obviously lol)?

Wish mine would cooperate so easily. It's been set like that for several weeks and never connected.
Anyone else successful? I got nada trying this.

I turned on data then I lost the signal. It would not come back even though the phone reads the access point name. I think either AT&T or Verizon saw that I'm using an unauthorized sim card and disabled the signal.

That's what I figured. Cellzealot is working on a hack but it doesn't look very promising - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619563. They do have a hack for the Bionic to use 3G on AT&T. I set my little bros phone up a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the hack seems to only work on GB and not ICS. Most Moto global phones can be unlocked for AT&T but since the Razr wasn't officially released as a global phone and they basically only announced global support because they couldn't patch it on ICS (my opinion, not confirmed), the Razr is different.

I heard that you only lose data when in U.S., when overseas your (overseas) SIM will work with data.

From the bionic forum is where I saw that moto phones will work if the GSM radio is installed and enabled. Being updated to ics, Verizon enabled Gsm radio to have used as a global phone.

I haven't followed it as closely as I once did, but the Droid 3 is completely hackable because AT&T has a similar device. So I purchased the unlock code, flashed the GSM radio and it was done. TBH created a hack for the Droid Pro that would unlock it (old file, not recently updated) similar to the unlock file that works for the Bionic. They also have a Razr unlock file that I believe changes some settings to GSM (I don't believe it's a true hack just setting changes) but it doesn't unlock data in the US. It only allows data overseas. One user in the thread I linked to reported picking up data in the US but only because he's close to Canada and AT&T was roaming to Canadian towers. That's further proof that Verizon and US GSM networks have enabled some sort of block that is yet to be cracked. Cellzealot is a pretty smart guy. If I had to guess (that is IF it can be hacked), he'll be the guy to do it.
A general consensus across the board is that ICS has changed the radio handling which has made sim unlocking much more difficult and patched previous hacks. Again, I'm just paraphrasing what I've read from Cellzealot. He's your guy for more information.

On ICS now but I've tried it on GB too. Never have gotten anything to work. Have done the NV edit and various patches, roms, settings.
I hope cellzealot has an epiphany.
Recieved new RAZR maxx this week and experiencing a issue! Out if the everything works great so i root and flash Arctic hd rom which i was running on last razr. So after this everything is working great all day no issues then before bed i went to disable wifi n accidentally pressed it twice really fast now my wifi n Bluetooth are both stuck in turning on but nothing happens and the on off switches are just gray! I tried factory reset and did full wipe and rebooted but still having issue! Also noticed no 4g and constant signal drops (3g and signal) anymore idk what's going on here so fast boot back to ics 4.0.4 using the batman utility and wiped cache n factory reset but no luck! Anybody know whats wrong with my phone or know how to fix this?

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.

Hello this is my first post using my Droid RAZR. I got it on page plus this morning and everything works but it all ways says in roaming and no service even tho I can call and text and use data too. Is there anything I can do? Thanks and I am loving my RAZR !

I would guess that something got messed up when the phone was flashed/programmed for pageplus. Try flashing it again.
Well would it be in the Dfs software or cdma workshop ? Also my phone says when. I call *228 to update roaming it says your phone has been activated and your so is updating your roaming. So my pho.e works to call and data, text so nothing worth there
