So with Verizons new data plans getting set to take affect at the end of the month I need to upgrade my phone before that goes into affect so as not to loose out on my grandfathered unlimited data. It just so happens I was due for an upgrade as of the 6th of this month.
My wife currently own the moto razr so I have been able to have some time with this phone. If I go that route I plan on getting the razr max. Now from the looks of it is it safe for me to assume it can be rooted? If I go with the razr I plan on getting the razr max. Im assuming it and the razr are the same when it comes to rooting? I would like some confirmation on that.
Is there anything else I should know that I might not as of right now before getting this phone. I would like to hold out for the SGS3 but am not confident that it will be out in time, and if it does come out I can always return the razr and pick it up.
Thanks in advance for any info.

If you only want root then is ok, but know that the bootloader is locked
A LOT of people are upgrading now before the new plans kick in. Smart move.
Yeah, the locked bootloader is a deal breaker for some people, but the rest of us are enjoying this phone a lot. Yes, it can be rooted, yes, custom ROMs can be installed, but full access is not there yet.
It's been super reliable for me, very fast, and the battery life is unbelievably long.
Everything I've read says that the Razr and Razr Maxx are, hardware and software-wise, the same phone. Just different battery and of course exterior case.
I guess my main question is, is wifi tether usable with the razr?

And the addon as well so it hides the fact that you're tethering.
First off thanks for all the quick replies and info.
I should have been more clear in my question. Wanting to know is the app WIFI TEATHER works on the rooted razr?
Thanks for the info on the app from the market. Will def look into that.
With FoxFi from the market you don't really need to be rooted. Also another member posted something about an addon, not sure what he is talking about. I've been using FoxFi for months without any problems from VZW. My bill has stayed the same.
You can pre-order the GSIII and still keep your unlimited data plan.

I would call in and preorder the SG III once I get it sell it and buy a Razr Maxx so you can make some coin off it, but that's just me if you don't want to deal with selling of phones.
Thanks for the information guys. Not sure what I will do. I guess a lot of it will depend on if they will allow me to bill the preorder to my account.

Hello Atrix Owners,
I am thinking about getting an Atrix 4G tomorrow and I am currently using a Samsung Captivate. My question is for anyone who had an unlimited data plan and got the Atrix. Did AT&T make you switch from the unlimited plan when you got the phone?
Also, anyone who had a captivate and went to the atrix... would you say it was worth it?
I've owned a captivate. More that we have an unlocked bootloader, the only thing a captivate has on the atrix is a samoled screen.
I never looked back once I got this device. The hktw firmware feels so fast compared to the cappy's laggy touch wiz. Plus we can actually get a GPS lock.

I wish I could do that... Too bad I am an existing user w/ unlimited data so... There is no way I would start over, but still at $100 + upgrade fee... it isn't bad.
no i had a captivate too and switched to atrix along with my brother. we both kept our plans and switch youll be really happy you did. the captivate was super buggy.
Make sure to tell them to retain your unlimited plan. My AT&T store here automatically dropped me to the 2GB plan. I checked when I got home online, saw this, then went through a long call before they could get a manager on the phone who could authorize putting me back on unlimited..............AFTER the rep told me it was not possible.

I've had to go along with my family and friends whenever they need to upgrade. I can't tell you how many times I've seen AT&T associates try and drop friends and family to the 2GB without warning them.
When I went to get my Atrix they tried to tell me I couldn't switch my iPhone data over.
Go into the store and just makes sure you tell them you want to stay on the unlimited plan. After they get you all setup check your account right there in the store to make sure. You can keep your unlimited plan but sometimes they will try to switch you.

Atrix!!!!!!!!!!!!11
joust to back up what many have said, I went from an iPhone unlimited to an unlimited 4g data plan when I got my Atrix, so they can do it in store, do not let them talk you into anything else. if they say they can't go to another store or something.
p.s. you wil be glad you did, I can hardy wait to see what this puppy can do now that it can be unlocked.
So ifu buy a 2g off ebay will it let me choose an unlimited plan and transfer it over to my atrix even though I've already upgraded to my atrix?

I've owned many android phones in the past, and I agree the locked bootloader sucks. But using the GSM version unbound to any carrier makes it less annoying to me. None of that crappy Verizon bloatware or scripts embedded into the ROM.

Odd, I just went the other direction.
I had a Galaxy Nexus for almost a month and gave up.
The battery life was terrible, the GPS was useless, and the camera was mediocre.
I also get a slightly better 4G signal with the Razr than I did with the gnex.
I'm with you
Hey there, ok now this is a great looking phone I wish Motorola had gone a bit further and perfected the software before releasing this phone. This is the third phone I got that is either defective or the OS has some serious issues. I'm with Rogers and trying to get some kind of resolve with these people is like hitting yourself over the head with a brick. My first phone had random reboot issues, the second just totally bricked out on me nothing worked it just died. This third one not sure if it's software but it totally powered down and rebooted in my hand after pushing the sleep/wake button. The third only did this reboot thing once and I hope that is the only time it's going to do it. The only app I have installed is the Wifi transfer, Pulse, Facebook, Skype. I really would hope that none of these apps is the culprit.
I did get somekind of deal going with Rogers but I will have to buy the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE for $149, they waved some fees and also granted me a one time upgrade deal. I really wish Bell wasn't such a greedy SOB that Rogers should of carried the Nexus but Bell wanted exclusive rights to it, reminds me of Apple and AT&T.
You gotta use caution on ditching a device due to software issues. More important to keep the quality device and be patient and let the software catch up. In the end, an unlocked bootloader won't matter I'd the device doesn't stand up. I think the RAZR wins if you look at it this way. If you're in for the short term though the Nexus will give more play time until the next cool device is announced next week at CES.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Well, I just called Rogers and they are now shipping me a New Samsung Galaxy SII LTE. They told me I can keep my Razr, but now I have two phones, the Razr strangly didn't reboot since then not sure maybe it was an app that was causing the reboots. But how do you use two sim cards on the same number and two phones, hmm...maybe I have to get another service or maybe sell the Razr or something. I'm kind of bummed out because Bell wanted exclusive rights to the Nexus here in Canada so they made Rogers pull all their pre orders before the Holidays. So now I'm stuck in a three year contract so I'm at a loss if they come up with some new devices at 2012 CES, but then we'd still have to wait about a year anyways with Rogers.
Well I gave it another shot, and just today my Razr did the standby death sleep. It just turned it self off after hearing a beep and then vibration it turned itself off for some strange reason. There was no smart action for this but something is causing this strange behaviour. That's it I give up, I think I'll be selling this phone or something maybe I'll customize the hell out of it or something since maybe it could be software related. It's a Rogers XT910 GSM by the way.

i had my maxx flashed to pageplus by beigephone. it seems they have the knowledge/monopoly on flashing lte phones to a 3g mvno and using a non-4g sim
the only apparent catch is i am not suppose to take updates without risk of losing the flash and all programming info in the phone and then having to get the reflashed.
any way i can do this myself with the proper flashing software?
can cdma-ware do this by reading the phone and storing the flash info for later use?
the reason? saving $50/month over verizon with a current technology phone
There is a thread on Howard Forums.In the pageplus area
For flashing the bionic works with the maxx also
I used it to flash mine
After 181 update I had to redo mine
Total in investment was my time.

yea read all that a while ago
too much experimenting instead of real results and most not specific to razr
i'll stick with what i got getting solid 3g with a non-verizon sim and rooted until something more easy and specific comes out for flashing. who knows what each update might mess up. instead of possibly screwing this phone up and being without it.
Beigephone most certainly does not have a monopoly on the flashing market. I flash most 4g phones, as well as sprint phones to page plus several times per week, cheaper, and with better results because I know I will see my customers again next month when they pay their bill.
Beigephone is NOT an authorized pageplus dealer, and has lost that status because of their shady business practices, ie., selling iphones for pageplus, which is absolutely not allowed.
I paid 108 for CDMA workshop, and have made my money back, and then some, off of it, charging less than beigephone, and having it done within an hour of drop off. Knowing your tech and walking into a store usually yields better results that shipping off your phone to a person you will never see.

Hello!
I wanted to know if you got any further into flashing a VzW Droid Razr to PagePlus?
If you think you do a better job than Beigphone than I would like you to do it for me.
I assume you can also activate it? How much is it to have the phone flashed plus the $55/month plan added?
Could you text me your contact information to 732-539-6673?
Thank you!

Hey need you help to flash my razr need you address
Does anyone know if activating an older dumb phone in place of my FUBAR'd DX2 will cause my plan to change? I've got an old Voyager I could activate since I can't seem to get my DX2 to work properly. I will eventually get another Android device to replace but not for some time since I'm still without work. I at least need a working phone for potential job calls.
I'm pretty sure as long as you don't actually change anything about your plan, you should be straight. Changing your phone won't matter.
If tpu wont be using a smart phone you wont need the extra data package. If you don't have to keep it you can save quite a bit of money

That's the problem as switching to a dumb phone would change my data. Plus what worries me if I can and do change back to a dumb phone without a change and when I get a different smart phone through a 3rd party like Swappa/Ebay/etc. that I would be forced to change. I'm trying to hang on as long as possible to our unlimited data plan. Plus our bill would go up around $25/mo with the new plan. Rip-off!
I'm just going to keep my useless DX2 on the plan for now and pray I don't need to use my phone while away from home. It's going to suck having to pay for a phone that I can't use.
If its gonna be an issue you might be better off keeping the x2 until you upgrade or get a different smart phone.

When I talked to VZW earlier trying to see what they could do with my dying DX2 (nothing, of course) and I did ask them. Instead it turned into a "we can sell you a RAZR" and "switch you over to our new money-saving plan" sales pitch and kept skirting around the question. Typical. I think you're right. I'll just have to fight with this phone until I can get something else.
Verizon doesn't really care about customer needs. Them trying to sell you a phone with their garbage plan is typical. Just hold tight as long as you can. What's wrong with the x2 if you don't mind my asking?

If you went to an actual dumb phone, I don't know if they would let you keep your data package and that would alter your plan. If you get another phone from Ebay or wherever, that won't matter. You are not changing the plan at all. That's the same scenario I just went through with my Gnex. It was my brides time to upgrade. I got her upgraded phone switched to my account and she got my X2 swapped to hers. The plans didn't change and we both kept out plans as they were before.

Hey guys, cool forums! I joined because I was planning on rooting my Nexus 7 once it gets here, but now I have this problem and I'm wondering if I can get some advice.
I warrantied my first Rezound about a year ago, but I can't remember what it was to be honest For one year I've had some issues, but nothing I needed to warranty it for. I don't do anything on my phone except emails, internet, youtube, and a few apps here or there. A few days ago, my phone froze during mid phone call and wouldn't turn off, so I pulled the battery, put it back in, and it wouldn't turn on or charge. So I warrantied it, and got my replacement Rezound today. Only.... it freezes in like 10-15 seconds when you unlock the phone and try to do anything. No matter what I do, it freezes always when I'm using it, turns off, and turns back on. So I have to warranty this one too, and the next one should get here Friday. On top of that, every single time I went to the verizon store the service desk people gave me an attitude about it.
Only question is, do you think I should keep getting them replaced until I get a good one, sell it on ebay, and upgrade to a new phone? This has honestly been a hassle for me, and I don't want to wait for my phone to break again. So.. what do you guys think? I'm looking at the Galaxy Note 2 and the DNA. If they are leaps and bounds better than the Rezound, it may be worth selling then. I just ordered a Nexus 7, so maybe I'll return if I go with the Note II. I did say before that I only use my phone for a few things, but that is more because of the small size and battery life making it almost incapable of doing so. Lately I've been thinking that getting a tablet will allow me to do more productive things when I'm not on my laptop, but if I get a Note II, maybe I won't need one after all.
Thanks!
If you want to you could try running an ruu assuming that your rezound is still unrooted and locked.

I'm very much a beginner to this kind of stuff, but basically is that installing a new android os over the current one? I thought the freezing has something to do with the hardware. I guess I'll just wait for my replacement to get here first.
Mainly I was just asking if it is worthwhile to hold onto it or sell it and upgrade to a DNA or Note II, assuming they are better phones. I've had nothing but trouble with it so I am biased, I just wanted to get some honest advice. Thanks for your reply
Edit: Also I want to tether my Nexus 7 to my 4G phone (whichever it will be) but I read somewhere that Foxfi has issues with Rezounds. Is this true?

I have had issues with the Rezound, since March of 2012 I have gone though 8 Rezounds. I finally told them enough is enough, so I picked a different unit. I would give Verizon a call and let them know that we can play this game of you keep sending out Rezounds or give you the option of choosing something different. Do not get me wrong, I loved my Rezound dearly, I just could not do this dance anymore with Verizon. I would not waste your renewal because they send you a faulty unit. And if you sell it you are just sending your headache to another person. Get them to do the right thing to make you happy, you are the paying customer.

Really? The sales people at the Verizon store I go to (it's actually the biggest, actual Verizon store I know of near me) are incredibly unpolite at times, so I doubt I'd get anywhere with them. Can I call someone instead to do this? Hmm now I got to look at phones again Possibly the Droid Razr Maxx HD for the battery life (since I plan on tethering), but the DNA looks good too (but with the Nexus 7, I think that a phone almost the same size is pointless). What do you think? thanks

Best bet is to call, I had a thunderbolt and went through 7 in 8 months. They will let you change to a "like" device what ever that means. When I switched to the Rezound, I had the choice of a this or a gnex, or another Samsung. Went with the Rezound because they included a extended battery for free.

The only thing I'm pissed about was rep on the phone charged me $80 for the GS3 battery, door, and charger (which doesn't come with the phone), but I guess it's the price I have to pay for pretty much upgrading my old phone.
I'd get a different phone. I've had 7 replacement rezounds sent to me and of all those I had only one good one and that was the second one I got back in February. I started getting replacements because this ones front camera sensor is sketchy. I just decided to keep it though because all the replacements were in much worse condition.

Did you lose your unlimited internet too? And what's the # to call?

$80 for a $400-$500 phone on ebay used sounds like a good deal to me bro. Plus you're still covered by the Verizon warranty...

He didn't get the phone as an upgrade. If there is nothing wrong with your Rezound don't bother calling in and abusing the system to try to get another device.
Oh quick question guys, because when I replaced previous Rezounds, I left out the battery, micro sd, and sim in the phone I was sending back. Do I do the same for this exchange? I guess I am.

You paid for the battery/back for the GS3 don't see why you wouldn't be able to keep your Rez door/battery and SD.
