6.12.173 update is now official

[HTTR]

Just noticed...notification led no longer works..think I read elsewhere in this thread I'm not the only one. Is there a setting for it maybe?

I am still seing them on email as I am running Go Launcher EX notification. I am not seeing them on missed calls.

I got the message "The software update failed!" after doing the OTA today. I temp removed root with RootKeeper and did the Uninstall Recovery for Safestrap before downloading the OTA and then uninstalled Safestrap completely after the first failure. During the upgrade after the initial reboot the progress bar goes about 1/3 of the way, shows a triangle with an exclamation point inside of it, and then reboots and the error message appears with no other error details. I have a stock RAZR with the latest 6.11.748 installed with no deleted or frozen bloat. The only things I did were root and installed and ran Safestrap. I pulled the log with Log Collector but it looks to be only a log since the last reboot and not during the update when the error occurred.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Try unrooting and fastbooting back to .748. Reroot, run OTA keeper then run update again.

Basically all this update contains is a crapload more bloatware. May be time to root this biotch.

FYI, got my upgrade this evening. Everything seems fine for me, including outlook sync to my corporation email and notifications lights for email messages.

Hope you all fare well too.

For me, the update works GREAT if not using Smart Actions. Data connections out the wazoo when using the display off to trigger data to go off. Did great for battery life, but data connections were problematic. Almost like the device needs a steady connection of some level to maintain data connection sanity.

Installed today, and the only significant changes are I lost root and I cannot get it back using the original method of DoomLord_v4. I don't have time to figure it out now....

RSD lite back to .744> ROOT with doomlord> OTA rootkeeper from market> Temp save root> run OTA update(s)> reboot> Re-run OTA root keeper> restore root>

Done.

Thankyou very much Kelmar that fixed it for me.

You could try the app Motorola released to repair LTE data connections when they get wonky.

There is not a root method yet that works on the update. You will need to fastboot back to .744, then update to .748, then root, then run root keeper and select temp unroot with backup, then take newest update, run root keeper and select restore root. You should not lose data with that process.

Actually, I was able to do a Restore to a few weeks ago, where I did a backup of the current ROM. I really don't know much about what I'm doing when it comes to root stuff, but whatever I did or installed before that lets me get into the boot loader is still intact. So I was able to use that to go back a few weeks to my last backup, and now Root is once again intact.

I will make a note of the above though, for future reference...

What is the change in the contacts widget? I don't see anything.

Ironically, this is the wrong time to root this phone! Seriously, if you use any of the Motocast related apps like music or gallery, it's a nice update.

The settings button now moved from the right to the left, and a new button is there that is for search.

They also put a search icon on my home page.

All the phone settings icons were updated.

That's all I've had time to notice.

Everything seems to be working fine, had to reset my smart action settings is the only annoyance I found.

PS I'm in San Jose, CA

Ok...after a day with this, I have noticed the 4g is greatly improved. Where I wasnt getting a 4g signal before, Im am getting 3 bars at the min. Never had 4g in my house, until now.

 

[dragonbro]

Everything seems to be good with it from my experience, one thing I have noticed though is when I am on wifi, and cellular data is turned off via smart actions, all of my signal bars go away. I tired making a call and it slowly comes back to threee bars. Has anyone else seen this? While I was in a 3G area the signal was great and the hand off to 4G was very quick.

Update downloaded yesterday morning. Ran OTA Rootkeeper, temp unroot, installed update, then back to OTA Rootkeeper and restore root....all is good!

I noticed I had to turn on data, this happened to me on the last update too?

All of my smart actions have been working perfect for a day, the signal bars remain intact and visible when I have cellular data turned off and wifi on.

Seems like the old bloatware isn't running as much as it used to in the background. But I am seeing Android OS running about 29%-34% where it used to be around 12%?

 

[Sharondippity]

I have noticed battery life is a lot better after the update.

I noticed that too.

 

[FussBoss]

I have noticed less data dropouts - yay!

And the text icon is now super fugly.

 

[Jerzie]

I don't know what anyone is complaining about. Update works fine. Improvement in 3g/4g switching times. Added bloat. No biggie. Just long press app icon and "hide" it. Maybe just maybe all of u who have all these complaints, its time to lower ur expectations of a cell phone and stop tweeking the hell out of it. I got my phone 11/10/11 out of box and have had not one problem. Not rooted. Just let the phone work as it is designed to do and its flawless. As for the few of u who do have legit issues try to fix them before complaining. Simple settings may throw u for a loop. Like data being enabled/disabled is a common one. Just throwing that out there.

That's hardly the only thing this update contains.

Updated here. No problems whatsoever. 3G to 4G handoff is MUCH faster. Battery life is better. LED lights work as normal.

 

[Adauth]

Still have not received it. So when I do is it good to go? No reason not to install it? Stock razr here. No launchers or anything.

 

[Grey1001]

Did you check in the about phone on your phone? it should tell you that it's ready to d/l.

Yes it's there was just asking if it was ok to install. Making sure the bugs are worked out.

 

[Adauth]

Installed. Everything seems to be in order.

Just noticed, that with the phone powered off, the charging LED isnt working on mine either since the update. All other functions seem to be fine,
