    Help Motorola Service Account Needed? Back up question.

    I'm getting the message " System Update Not Available Without a Motorola Service Account" when I try to do a system update. My phone is NOT rooted and I'm the only owner. Reading the forums indicates I have to do a FDR which is fine. Soft reset didn't work BTW. What I need to understand is the...

    Help Look at "Recent Calls" while in a call. How?

    I'm sure there is a simple solution to this but I can't seem to find it. If I am on a call and want to look at "Recent Calls" how do I do this? If I hit the home key and then the phone icon it just takes me back to my call. Can this be done? I'm running ICS on Razr Maxx FWIW.

    Help Lock Screen Flashing When Unlocking.

    My lock screen just started flashing when going to my home screen. I can see the clock flashing like 5 times as the home screen appears. This happens whether or not the phone is locked. It just started BTW. I've cleared the cache/powered off and on the phone a few times. Any ideas? I have...

    Contacts and General Phone are sending me to an iPhone 5

    Contacts in the Razr are a joke.... Three different phone books. Then when someone calls you and you miss the call you have like 4 key presses to return the call, unless I'm doing it the wrong way. It seems to me that Moto does a lot of things really well but ignores the basics of cell usage...

    Help Can't Hang Up Phone. Screen Black.

    Talking on the phone, moving ear to ear, see the screen display/disappear etc. Normal stuff that happened with GB. However, several times, I say goodbye, pull the phone away from my ear and the screen is black. No way to end the call. My timeout is 2 minutes I think, but it was the same with GB...

    Help My First Black Screen Of Death With ICS.

    Was on a conference call for about 30 minutes, had the phone muted as all I had to do was listen. The call ended, but I couldn't end my call hitting the red "End Call" button. Tried other buttons and nothing worked. Finally it went to a black screen and I could hear the phone saying "conference...

    ICS: This is why Apple iPhone trumps Android.

    I hate Apple, I really do. They are an arrogant, fanbois company that are experts at marketing. However, when you compare Android vs Apple the Apple phones win by a mile. Why? Certainly not functionality. Certainly not choice. Certainly not bang for the buck. And many other factors that Apple...

    Help Google Traffic Icon.. How Do I Get Rid of The Time?

    I have the Google Traffic Icon on my home screen and I generally like it, but evidently I told it at some point I was going "somewhere" and now it keeps displaying the time it will take me to get to wherever this place is... heh.. How do I get rid of this? I already tried reset/clear maps etc so...

    So I Got ICS.. What's The Fascination? What am I missing?

    Alright, I got it this morning. I notice the phone is definitely faster and smoother. No USB connection to my Jabra Freeway going to sleep. Weird data drop problems seem gone. Like the "add this phone number to an existing contact" and other stuff.... However.... What's the fascination? Looks...

    Help Blutooth keeps disconnecting. Jabra Freeway.

    When using my Jabra Freeway with my Razr Maxx and Google Navigation, I keep getting "BT disconnected" "BT connected" messages. Also I seem to need to power off and on the Jabra to connect when it loses the connection completely. I have no problems using my Blackberry paired to the Jabra. One...

    Regular Razr Navigation Dock With a Case?

    I know the Razr Maxx Navigation dock won't fit if the phone has a case but will the Navigation Dock for the regular Razr fit? I have an Otterbox Commuter case if it matter. TIA.

    Help How To Reset Maxx to COMPLETE Factory New.

    Is there a way to put my Razr Maxx back to factory where the ORIGINAL firmware/OS level is installed? IOW without the upgrade push of a few weeks ago. I tried using the menus and that didn't work as I have the same problems. Reason is, I installed Go Launcher the other day and didn't like it so...

    Just Not Happy With The Audio Quality.

    I dunno. The audio quality of this phone doesn't seem to be that great. I'm running the volume one notch from max (max distorts) and I still can't hear some callers. I have to turn the speaker phone on and that is no shining star either. The final straw was today when I decided to explore the...

    Help Swipe To Answer is driving me crazy.

    Is there something I can do to get rid of the need to "swipe" the green icon to answer an incoming call when the phone is locked? Many times it won't answer the call and is driving me crazy.

    Help Contacts. I'm confused....

    Ok so my Razr Maxx imported every contact known to mankind from gmail and Facebook, most of which I will never call and don't even have phone numbers for. What I DO need is my contacts from my corporate Lotus Notes server. I am trying to create a new "Contact Group" and I can't seem to do...

    Help Overiding Screen Lock...How?

    My company has a security policy requiring the phone to lock after 30 minutes of no use. I have no problem with this except that it's a pain in the a$$ to type in an 8 character PW all the time..Is there some kind of "keep alive" application that will do a fake touch or something like that in...

    Help How To Display Older Notifications?

    Is there a way to display all the notifications I have received via the status bar? Reason I ask is because I got notified that I can send back my old non-smartphone for a $30.00 credit from Verizon and it had an offer # which of course I didn't write down. As usual, I can't find anything on...

    Help Do Apps Keep Running When......

    When I start an app, say I'm going to type in a text message, and before sending I hit the "back button" on the bottom of the screen, is that app still running? Is there some EASY way to see what applications are running? I'm a little confused as how to terminate apps and what I actually have...

    It's Here!! Maxx First Impressions...

    This is my first smart-phone unless you can count an ancient BB Bold so be gentle :) First impression is Moto took some advice from Apple about packaging. Really nice box, very high end packaging but not overboard. Unit is larger than I remember in the store, but comfortable in my hands. Super...

    Ordered My Maxx Today!

    The local Verizon store had them in stock but I could only get the $100.00 additional discount on line. Oh well. Ordered it and can't wait to try it. I got the 4GB/Month data plan for same price as the 2GB/Month under the current promotion. If I don't like it I'll return it and get something else.

    About to pull the trigger but afraid of getting an orphan.

    I'm new here, but have used Moto phones in the past and have generally been very happy. I'm on Verizon and with the new every 2 and the extra discounts I'm stuck between the iPhone 4S and Moto Razr Maxx. This is my first true smart phone. My business phone is BB Bold. My biggest concern is...
