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!

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.

Signal is dropping like a mofo. Verizon is becoming the new ATT.

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?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
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.

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

was wondering if this could be possible cause i was reading the forums and found someone that did it by flashing the ap to the verizon razr if you could help me out that would be great thanks
It's not possible. Verizon uses CDMA, EVDO and LTE. AT&T uses GSM and UMTS. Completely different technologies. However, if you can get an XT910, a GSM version of the RAZR, you can use it on AT&T (this is what I have).

im actually looking into this because my cousin has just left Verizon for att and it is possible they use sim cards and people have reported it working im not sure on many details of it yet but its out there just google "verizon droid razr on at&t"
look here http://blog.laptopmag.com/ics-world-phone-capabilities-come-to-verizons-droid-razr-and-razr-maxx
You cannot do that after the ICS update. With ICS, you can roam onto global GSM networks but many people have reported that you cannot change the default network from Verizon.
From everything I've heard the xt912 has the appropriate radios to connect with at&t cell towers but the usage of this feature is being blocked by vzw. Now I don't know if a custom rom like cm9 would allow for this or not.

RAZR on AT&T network
Yes it is possible. I did it. The only thing is that I only use the phone for calls and texts and WiFi for data. In the bionic forum, they tell you to download Radiocomm. I did not do that. AlI did was just change the setting to gsm/utms network and placed the AT&T sim card and waited for 15-30 minutes for the phone to connect
Btw, I'm on ics.

Hey all,
So I am on vacation at Virginia beach and I notice that my 4g doesn't kick in. I went to "about phone" and it doesn't even say anything about lte in my base band, just cdma. I am on. 181 ota, rooted and never flashed any other roms before , just rooted. What's best way get my 4g here at the beach? Thanks!

ive had the same problem in the past, but it was from fastbooting back to stock after flashing the leak, in which case the 4g radio didnt flash, but if you have never done that, are you sure that the location your in has 4g service?

Yes, I called Verizon to make sure. Also spoke with a lot of people that say their 4g is fine. Shouldn't my baseband have lte or something in it to denote a 4g radio?

Force a reboot by holding vol up and down and power button until it reboots. This usually does it for me.
Moved to proper forum,
try a Profile Update, usually works for me. Or toggle airplane mode

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 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.

Get VZ to send you a new sim card. The sim card is where the 4g lte is at. I had this issue about a year ago. VZ sent me new sim but that did not help although it does majority of the time. Anyways, I have coverage (insurance) but did not matter cause moto said my razr xt912 was defective so they sent me a new REfub which solved issue to date.

I had a similar experience/issue on my phone a few months ago. In my case, I wasn't able to use 3G or 4G LTE. It took more than just a factory reset to get my phone back up and running again. What resolved it was Matt's Utility. Depending on which option you select within his utility, there is one (possibly more) option that not only wipes all system and used data, it also flashes the stock radios as well. I feel your pain buddy. Let know if I can help.
