I used to have my phone vibrating on the outgoing call connected, so I don't have to hold it to my ear all the time waiting for answer. There is no such option after ICS upgrade of my RAZR MAXX. I believe that's motorola or verizon fault, as on the Galaxy SIII ICS that option is in the call settings menu. As always verizon sucks tremendowsly in the phones department. Is there any easy way to fix that? Or perhaps you have a 3rd party dialer recommendation?
Tried exDialer vibrate plugin - no go.
Tried PhoneSetting - neither of 7 different methods it employs helped.
VERY frustrating. Google sucks.
I believe some of the cyanogen 9 builds for droid razr have this option built into the default dialer....you could give that a try.

Thanks. I have CM7 on my HTC HD2 and like it a lot. Perhaps it's time to do that with RAZR... Just not sure if it's possible with Verizon phone. Need to research first.
I have the verizon Razr, only issue i noticed was a weird rotation bug...i went back to blur based because the haptic feedback is too weak for my preferences on cyanogen 9.

Good to know. Can you recall which particular ROM did you use? (link?)

So a friend of mine just got a hold of a droid eris because her droid busted and it is having issues with constantly being in roaming on sprints network.
Is this a common issue, is there any fix for it? verizon rep had no idea and couldn't help.
Did you have her try *228?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
yea that was the first thing i told her to try, it didn't work. From what she said it sounds like it didn't even go through as a working working.
I don't know what else to try... factory reset?
If you haven't rooted that phone for them you need to, and load the Xtsense ROM. It makes that phone rock pretty good.
I loaded it on for my wife (she wanted to keep the Sense options and look). It has yet to lag doing anything.
Good luck

So I can bring it back to the store and get a play or the thunderbolt. Should I?

If i may ask, Why not?
I would say no. The only thing pulling me into getting the thunderbolt is the unlocked bootloader. I miss flashing a new rom almost every night on my d1.
Im sure with the recently released sbf, there will be a nice choice of rims available. Its just taking some time
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
With as laggy and bogged down as the phone is OOTB, it's one of the top performers on raw power. Once the bootloader is unlocked, the phone with a custom rom is going to be a monster. Also, when it is unlocked, you'd be kicking yourself nightly due to the many roms that will no doubt be released.
I would get a charge!

Charge was one of the worst phones that I have used. Even w/ custom ROM etc... SLOWWWWWWWWWWW. But I loved the display, super amoled + = winning. To each their own though, one might like a phone , while another hates it.
I had the droid x2 the display was gorgeous volume supreme but I had three of them give me constant reboots it was annoying and I needed a functional phone.so I want with the thunder bolt done ways I regret it some ways I don't, but I'm happy with my decision
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I know this is a little off topic, but can you surf data and be on a phone call at the same time with the DX2? The Charge can only do it on 4G and WiFi. Thanks.
No, its a limitation of 3g cdma

Makes me miss my SGS. And the Super AMOLED. That black was extremely nice. But, so far I'm happy with my x2. This mutha has an LED flash on the back! WTF?! lol, something T-mobile has NEVER DONE, and will not do for whatever reason. Besides, their service sucks once you leave the big cities.
The thunderbolt can on 3G. All 4G devices should unless you make the settings CDMA only.

Nope, no 3g phone can do that at the present time.
First post here. I have talked and surfed at the same time on the droid x2. After reading the post that it cannot be done tried it again and it worked.
Nevermind just realized It was using WIFI for data. After turning WIFI off cannot talk and surf.

Actually, yes you can. Just verified for sure. While on the phone, hit home, you can then browse to your hearts content while ignoring the person you have on the phone. Any phone that can connect to a wireless network (not associated with cellular networks), you should be able to surf and talk regardless of the cellular provider.
I keep getting an International Data Roaming Alert on my phone stating I am in an international roaming area and will be charged for data usage. I live in rural Nevada but that by no means should be an International Roaming area. If I choose yes to accept the message I still get data but the message keeps popping up. I have had the Droid Incredible, and Droid X and have never had this message pop up with those phones. I have called Verizon and they have verified I am not getting charged roaming but said they can't disable the message.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop this stupid alert?
Please, and thank you!
Have the same thing. Really annoying. Verizon sent me a new phone but that didn't do the trick cuz its built into moto's crapware.

Not sure if this works yet but try ....settings...display... uncheck roaming banner
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Thanks for the reply but I didn't have roaming banner enabled.
Same problem for me - pretty much the ONLY thing I am unhappy with on my X2 at this point. In fact, it locks up my phone during the night disabling my alarm when the warning is left on my screen for too long. Maybe a script fix for this possibly?
Everyone with this issue should request the developers to work on fixing it... for example under the X2 Development page there is a form called "[DEV] Affinity ROM"... if we all ask him and other people working on roms to put this fix high on their list of priorities they might just listen.
Have you guys tried *228 and then option 2? I believe this resets roaming.

I just tried today and my tether is working great. Just wondering if this is affecting anyone and what app you are using.
This has actually been going on for a while. Most of the traditionally used tething apps stopped working some time ago. Even on rooted roms. There are still some work arounds out there, and I haven't heard of them being stopped yet.
You can tell the author is familar with Android phones in that they referred to a "jailbroken" motorola X. You can't hide, iphone users!!!!

***UPDATE 6/26/2012***
Ok, not all the info that I got before was 100% correct. It looks like RAZR / MAXX is unlocked only for Global(GSM) use which is outside of USA. The Tmobile and ATT sims are not fully working as of right now.
We have couple amazing Devs which are working to resolve this issue.
Please PM me if you want me to update the OP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Bionic forum people found a way to activate disabled feature of couple 4g verizon phones to be able to use it on GSM networks.
Can someone test it please?

Amazing...no one here has any interest in this? maybe you should have posted in the development section. This is great news if it gets working on the razr.
I posted this earlier...as far as I know it's still a work in progress but very cool nonetheless.

Welp the Bionic can't do it for sure. Doesn't have a GSM radio... at all.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Running ICS leak fully rooted!
Actually the Bionic does have a GSM radio.
The Razr, 4, Bionic all have the same Qualcomm global radio and a separate LTE radio.
The only thing preventing the Razr, Droid 4 or Bionic from connecting to GSM is the firmware.
The Droid 4 is scheduled for GSM upgrade.

I stand corrected. Well played.

I was under the impression that we just needed the unlock code. Once we have it from say...att, then we put the sim in,enter the code and good to go...maybe its not that easy but on YouTube it looks pretty close lol.
As far as I know it's not that easy due to the fact that the GSM modem itself is disabled. Unless your talking about roaming onto the LTE network. Though ATT uses different frequencies.

I was really surprised that people did not accept this news well. I was extremely happy to hear that we can use our phones with GSM providers since I am planing to travel soon.

Thank you I will follow it later on.
this could get interesting
Okay so, here's my predicament..I'm currently using an Atrix 2 with a regular sized SIM card and wanted to test this out on a busted VZW Razr I got from work (there's a huge crack in the screen and it was just collecting dust). If I went into an AT&T store and bought a micro-SIM, would it work?
The only reason I'm confused is because all I know that AT&T uses the micro-SIMs for is the iPad; I don't know if the structure of the SIM card changes to accomodate just data, or if voice will be able to be transmitted as well.
