[Q] JB Verizon leak n China leak difference for GSM user? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I need some answer for those who know or those who already tried. Last week i flashed verizon JB leak on my Razr Maxx GSM (Originally AsiaRetail) Im from Malaysia btw bought the phone here. Then I followed the guides step by step until the gsm patching n it work flawless.The phone is smooth,all function is working as expected. Despite some popup dialog to choose global mode or not,which is because of the leak is originally for cdma i guess,but thats not a big deal. But then I realized the network signal(HSDPA/3G) is so weak n it didnt improve. I mean,in the place where i usually get full bars for HSDPA,I only get 2 or 3 bars max. Will this change if i flashed the china leak coz well i guess its originally for GSM? I changed back to D-Wiz ROM since Im kinda not feel secured with the low signal,afraid of missing calls,sms etc. But D-Wiz is going to launch the next update based on JB leak,so we need JB kernel as base. Im afraid what if I use the verizon leak n flash D-wiz on top of it,the problem will persists.

Ok since i got no answer,i hv new question,let say i just leave the low signal problem,didnt it affect the phone's battery life? I mean,low signal=bad battery consumption isnt it?

[Q] Radio for CM9 in Israel

hey guys,my first post here,tho been reading a lot on XDA...
i'm currently running Turl's V9 CM9 with 1.3Faux kernel,my question is should i update my radios aswell?and if i do?which one should i use?
my carrier is Pelephone in Israel.
another question : what are the effects of those radios on the device?
Hello.
As far as I remember, when flashing cm7/cm9 the radio doesn't change and so it should still work.
I used CM7, CM9 and blur based ROMs and had no issues with the radio. (I'm on Rami Levi)
Generally different radios could either improve or worsen reception over the cell network (and WiFi?) also might improve or worsen battery drain.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it .
Ok thanks for the answer,thought it was important,now i see it's not

European 100 radio is OK in Orange Israel.
Not sure for Pelephone.
Effects? Mostly in how your WiFi and GPS work.
I still have the stock N_01.95.00R from orange, never bothered changing it and it works fine with rami levi.
is there a page which lists all the released radio versions?

Droid Razr ICS no Data

I have been trying numerious ICS roms on my Razr (cdma).. and it seems they all have the same issue where you have to go into Phone Info and toggle between CDMA and GSM to get 3g to come up.. and occasionaly it drops out and needs to be done again..
any reason y all of these roms woudl have that.. i didn't see this issue untill the move to ICS..
They're all based on the same version of ICS that has the same data connectivity bug. Wait.

3g suddenly dropped

Hey all
My 3g dropped after a 2-3 weeks flashing the china ICS
Is very wierd..anybody have any suggestion?
My 3g randomly dropped yesterday, came back up after a reboot. I wonder if Verizon had a glitch.
Has yours been restored?

I'm on stock, any time my 3G vanishes I just reboot and its back, the first time it happened I didn't think to do that and took it to the verizon store and the guy put in a new SIM card, I'm betting that was probably a waste of time now.
Haha..actually when im at GB back tgen ,i dont have any problem with 3g.but after a few weeks on ICS China,it just slow..
I suffer almost the same issue these days. Suddenly 3G and 2G signal drop, and after 10 seconds it restore, I have no idea of it.

I was on the original ICS leak and was pretty happy with it for quite a while. Decided to try one of the other ROMs, and almost bricked. RSD back to GB, and all of a sudden my performance and speed went through the roof. I didn't realize just how much my phone had slowed down on that leaked ROM.
As such, I have decided to stick with a full stock GB until the official ICS is released.....at least that's my decision for the time being. It could change by this afternoon, but since I accepted the 181 fw it's probably not worth messing with.
I have actually been surprised at how satisfied I have been with GB since I switched back. I'm normally on the bleeding edge and used ICS since the Galaxy Nexus, but maybe I'm just tired of reloading my phone/FW every other week.
Few random thoughts from a holiday weekend.

I don't think this is a bug with any roms or ICS. Been happening to me for a while. I'm completely stock on Razr Maxx and never rooted or flashed any roms. It's a known bug for us Razr users. Don't know if it's Motorola or Verizon at fault but it's very annoying and they need to quit messing around and hire people who can give customers satisfaction for choosing their phone and carrier.

Help with MIUI

what up everybody? I figured I'd come here to seek out some help for this huge problem I have...
Over in the Droid razr forums, we have an "MIUI port" and to be honest...its crap. Data drops and only way to fix is with a reflash, no 3g on newer versions of it, lag in the older versions with 3g, auto brightness problems, pretty sure there's some themeing issues also...
Anyways, the dev for the rom claims he's hard at work but the last time he updated the rom was in June. So I was wondering if anyone could share with me some info on how to fix some of these problems. I wanna take this on myself since obviously nobody else is. Biggest problem is getting 3g...3g worked on the older version but you would have to go into the phone info app and toggle the radio then change network type every time u restart the phone... so I want to get atleast 3g on the smooth running version on the rom. I have no clue where to start, that's why I'm here..
So to anyone that can help, me and the Droid razr community thanks you.

Testing Razr Maxx and need advice

My everyday phone is a Verizon Galaxy S3 that is suffering from 4G problems since an OTA update in March. I have tried everything to restore its former glory including flashing back to ICS and installing every update and firmware from beginning to end. I can get 4G coverage but no longer get it at home or work where it really matters.
So I got my hands on a used Razr Maxx to use as a comparison as it is known for good reception. Much to my surprise the Razr acts pretty much identical to my S3 as far as 4G goes.
After some reading I have seen some other Razr users complain about signal degradation since Jelly Bean... so I want to flash back to an older software to test again, I am currently on whatever the latest OTA software is.
I am a complete Razr nOOb so any advice and input is appreciated.I would prefer a stock Rom. I also need rooting directions and such.. I didn't notice any pre-rooted stock roms.
Thanks

Razr has a locked bootloader and you cannot downgrade once you update it. So if you're on JB, you cannot go back to ICS.

You could try a custom rom,after a upgraded to JB my signal started to suck so I installed a kexec based rom 4.2.2 and it got better somewhat..
the universe is hostile so impersonal, devoure to survive..so it is,so it's always been.
