RAZR Maxx - Verizon Wireless CDMA
I have my settings to vibrate on touch but for some reason it randomly stops vibrating and comes back randomly.
For instance, right now as I write this there is no vibration when I press the keys on the keyboard.
I noticed it after the first time I rooted the phone. After rooting everything was fine. Decided to go back to stock 211 and unroot for the time being. I was using Matts utility and it froze for some reason. It got stuck on writing the webtop part for over an hour so I knew something was not right.
I turned the phone off, closed the utility and started all over again and it went through fine. From since then I've been able to root, flash roms, revert back to stock 211 all using the utility but my vibrations act funny.
I never had the vibrations on touch turned on when I was on gingerbread so I don't know if it's just my phone or if it was the unrooting freeze or what? I never really complained about it but I would like to know if anybody else's phone does this?
try slapping the bottom of your phone against your palm (kevlar against palm) a friends razr did this and that seemed to work, it went awway after a few days
I might sell this phone and roll with something else.

I have the same issue but I have not rooted it. Also, to get a temporarily fix which lasts for a minute or so, I have to shake the phone. I think the vibration motor is failing.

It's good to know others have the problem too. I thought my phone may have been defected or else I messed it up trying to unroot it the first time round. I might try to get the Maxx HD. But then again it's better off to wait lol, this phone game is moving too fast.

I know. By the way can u use a headset with your phone without disconnecting or getting stuttering sounds if you move the headset connection?

I never attempted to use a headset with my phone. I've used headphones for music and movie listening and they were all fine. I don't lose data at all when using headphones.

I had this problem too. I reloaded Arctic from scratch making sure to format cache and Dalvik and that still didnt help.
What fixed mine was booting into Safestrap Recovery, going into Advanced, and selecting Fix Permissions.
I realize this won't help the non-rooted folks.

I'll keep that in mind if I root again.

I tried this and it didn't help. The suggestion above (slapping the back of the phone) seems to be working, though. I wonder if my telephone (Razr i) is defective, this started after rooting and unlocking the bootloader. I tried with the GB and EU JellyBean stock ROMS, and I'm currently using this one, all with the same results, does anyone have a similar issue?
I've dealt with two buddies' RAZR phones (Original, and MAXX) and they both have failing vibrator motors. Seems like a hardware design issue. Good thing I went with the Note 2
same issue
motorola razr max
rooted
boot menu manager
tested on all my custom rom (CM10.1 , AOKP , JB 4.2.1) and same issue
anybody have this issue in OTA update and updated bootloader (JB 4.1.2) ?

I'm running .181 rooted, and when I hit the home button, all I get is my wallpaper for 5 seconds, then my beautiful Widgets clock pops up, then after maybe 7 seconds all my apps reappear. For a phone of this magnitude I think this is unacceptable. Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Perhaps try forcing launcher to stay in memory? Or maybe its related to 2d hw acceleration option?
Could there be any way to run tge webtop 3.0 ui on the actual phone screen itself? That would make the dpi problems go away
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Theres an app called nebtop but i havent tried it yet. So tempting, let me know if that works for you.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Nebtop is for webtop 2.0 and it just allows you to use webtop on non lapdocks with an hdmi cord. Im talking about running the actual webtop 3.0 on the phone screen itself, not mirroring it to an external display. Doing so would give the effect of a tablet ui on your phone.
Thank you for the response though

For Webtop 3.0 you don't need anything, just plug into HDMI and select Webtop.
@pyroemaniac: isn't DPI have to do with the screen itself and not the UI? and wouldn't running the tablet UI on the phone itself be kinda hard to use
If you lower your dpi in the build.prop you can force ics to go into "tablet" mode but it distorts ui elements and causes instability. With webtop at the right resolution on the phone screen i think could be usable and would eliminate the problems mentioned above with changing the dpi.
Plus i just think it would be cool to use the tablet netflix and other apps on my phone
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
you actually have the best idea I've seen in months! I wish I had the time to write an app to do this!
Yeah i thought it was a pretty good idea, i just don't know if its possible.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
You could try installing safestrap, back up everything, then flash the Web top to the safe system then booting into it. I'm not totally sure about it, but I believe safestrap uses the Web top partition to load a custom ram disk on top of our existing kernel as a way to boot custom roms with a locked boot loader. Though, I would believe that the Web top would need some small tweaking to run correctly, for input, not sure the touch screen drivers would be included... Etc. But if it could be done i wonder with some additional tweaks if we could build a fully functional ubuntu rom...

Here's something I found for the Atrix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193
My think is that it should be able to run as an application almost. I unhooked my phone from my hdmi cord one and my phone kept kept the webtop ui on my screen for about 10 seconds and i was able to control it.. though it was laggy

Isn't this essentially our nebtop?

He is basiclly talking a rom or a launcher with the looks of tablet mode, but on the cellphone screen without connecting anything, something like paranoid android rom we have on samsung galaxy note, i personally tried it on a note and its pretty good, would be cool for Razr.
In a way yes, but what i am talking about is we actually use the webtop software thats already installed on our device. If there was a way to open it like an application that would switch us over to tablet mode "webtop" and when you want to go back to phone mode you just use the same app to switch back.
I think that makes sense haha

All we need is a toggle button to flip one bit. The question though is which bit. Perhaps this thread would garner more serious response if posted in the dev section?
I was going to post the idea in the dev section, but people have a tendency to ***** at you if its not an actual product that your posting.

I totally understand that, and you probably WILL get *****ed at, but maybe one dev will think "great idea & i think i know how to do that." Go ahead and clearly post there exactly what you are talking about. Who knows, we could have that toggle by tomorrow &i bet it would get a LOT of press as it would be a whole new interface for Android phones!
This thread is a little old, but I recently acquired a Razr with a bad ESN and cracked but still working screen to use as a HDMI attached media device. Webtop was giving me a few issues, refusing to switch to tablet mode sometimes, so I decided to see if the dpi could be changed to force it into an always tablet mode.
Using a backup of the stock 4.1.2 ROM in Safestrap slot 1, I changed the DPI to 120 and it seems to be working well, apps still show as compatible in Google Play. I'm using Holo Launcher HD and had to switch some settings to get icons looking right.
Here is what 120DPI looks like if anyone is interested.
According to the site’s sources, the long-awaited ICS bug fix for the Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX may not be ready until September. That’s about a month after the original mid-August target, and if you’re counting the days with us, it is currently mid-August
http://easternmorningherald.com/motorola-droid-razr-droid-razr-maxx-ics-bug-fix-to-be-ready-in-september/1214804/
I don't have the problems they indicate. All about an update to improve what is already good.
Counting the days...I could care less!

Very interesting as I have 2 phones that out of the blue can't keep any signal and drop sometimes for an hour and then are fine. I tried a new similar and various other things. Wonder if that will fix issues I am having.
Seems strange we've only seen a handful of leaks.

i hope they keep to their word ics is really buggy on the razr
I have to turn my phone off and on at least every other day otherwise it will go through a bunch off apps like a slide show. Or if I'm texting it will enter a bunch of random characters on its own. It's like the screen is stuck until I reset it. Sometimes the screen doesn't respond at all.

ICS and My Razr
I have zero problems with Stock Razr Maxx 4.0.4 Rooted + some minor tweaks to the CPU, FS, and dual boot using boot manager.
Days without rebooting, unless I am messing with it in recovery, battery life is strong, and no dropped calls etc....
The only update I really need is something that makes the camera work better, picture quality is awful. Third party cams do not seem to solve the problem. Someone mentioned a thread that modifies JPEG compression, I was going to look for that today.
I haven't had one problem with my phone since the update, did you all backup your data and do a cache/ factory wipe before the updating? That's what I've always done. Even my old iphones had problems if i did a major update without wiping.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Lately I have had signal loss.
Not update related. I moved and am in this dead zone. Walk outside the house and signal is like a rock.
+1 on full wipe.
Though smart actions does an annoying glitch but that is something with the app itself or its interaction with data switching on and off.

I heard that the new update could include a unlockable bootloader for the international razr /maxx so it can be included in the unlock tool.

Since the 4.0 OTA my phone has just been doing random crap.
1.) Locking up and rebooting at least once a day.
2.) In the middle of a phone call it will disconnect the call with whomever i was talking to, and connect me with a random person from my address book.
3.) one of the verizon junk apps (Emergency Alerts i think it is) will go off on its own, and i have never used it or set it up..
so i take it in and Im not sure if i am the only person who has been having these problems (from what the verizon rep noted, i was not the only one). they are sending me a new one , they said that the OTA made a mess on some phones, bricked others and the ones that are from the factory or newer ones are working much better.
now for the part that surprised me..take this with a grain of salt as usuall but she said that the 4.1 Jelly bean was going to be ota in about another month..
anyways, anyone else had the listed problems?
ps central us for those that are going to ask, no longer vat/city
If I do a lot of browsing, my phone will randomly scroll through random apps and open them, almost like the screen is stuck. Only way to stop is power volume down. Then it is good for a day or two, then it does it again. I am completely stock, never rooted or installed custom rom.

I got my phone yesterday, and so far not a single problem and there is a difference from a phone that received the ota and one that was shipped with 4.0. one that has been shipped with it is defiantly smoother has a quicker response. im happy i sent mine in.

So how does returning the phone work if I bought it on new egg.com. Do I go through them or can I call Verizon to do a warranty exchange. I've had the phone since March this year.

If it's under factory warranty, Verizon will send you a refurb. My previous phone was a Incredible 2 that I purchased at Radio Shack, and when my LCD stopped working after about 5 months, Verizon sent me a replacement at no cost.
As a last ditch effort, you can try flashing the stock fastboot files. I'd recommend a factory reset and format of the cache partition before doing so. That way, if there was something that didn't update properly with the OTA, you're starting off with a fresh, clean install. Instructions to flash are here http://theunlockr.com/2012/01/24/how-to-restore-the-motorola-droid-razr-using-fastboot-files/, and the fastboot files are found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php
