Theres an app called "restore connectivity settings" on the market. Give that a shot and let us know if it helps. If not, we can try some other things.

Same here, using epsilon v4... didn't try the app yet... On Brazilian Oi network...

Best two apps that help a bit are Fresh Network and Network Booster

After I install the ICS on my RAZR I have the same problem here... everytime goes to "emergency only mode". I think that it's a ROM problem, since when I was on GB I have no problem.

Verizon phone here. Been getting poor reception and signal drops too.

I'm using an app called Network Speed Booster, works when my signal drops...

[Q] Video-Calling

Guys,
I was wondering...how do I make video calls over the network on my RAZR?
You could try Skype in the market.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
I use Skype also.
Skype works very nicely, though the front facing camera looks a little washed out. I know that's not Skype's fault but I wonder if anyone knows how to fix this? (at least change settings to "sunny" or something)
I haven't tried Skype yet....but Tango does work on my Razr XT912.
Skype & gtalk video
Working fine in my razr tx-910

Nooooo. Not VoIP. I mean over the cellular network...by dialing another person's number.

not video calling razr
I don't believe that can be done over the Verizon 3g network, but can be done on 4g if both parties have 4g connections.

I've had my wife gtalk video call me while I was on 3G and she was on our home wifi. I believe we have done it while we both have been on 3G.
No. I mean over the cellular 3G network. Like normal video-calling, not over skype or anything. And yeah, I don't think any Android phone supports that yet. Faaaark.....coz Nokia had Symbian S60 support it 5 years ago! I remember video calling on my Nokia 5800 over 3G. Its 3 bucks/minute here in India.
Video calling without VOIP
Did anybody made a video call using RAZR or RAZR Maxx without using VOIP?
Thank you so much!
I think that only Samsung devices have the necessary divers for native video calling on Android. Not a Samsung troll/rep I Love my Razr Its the best phone

i dont have Talk avail in my Play store
i searched for "google talk", "talk", "g talk" and i got no results.. and no its not already installed haha
You mean something like facetime for iPhone, yet without Wi-Fi? I don't think there is such a feature...maybe when we get ICS
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
I use Fring for VOIP. I have not tried to use its video features. I do know that last time I tried Skype it was buggy.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
I use Qik. Even though it's made by Skype, it's not nearly as buggy. It's what Sprint uses when they're doing product placement on TV shows like "Fringe."
I prefer Oovoo. It is much less buggy than Skype and can video chat with up to 12 different people at once. Works over 3G, 4G, and WiFi. The video quality is very nice as well. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with Facebook to allow video calling to your Facebook contacts.

GSM network issues on verizon droid razr.

Issue is that i face frequent network outage on my phone where as at the same time, place and same network , my colleagues are just on air with the network.
Thought this had been a sim issue, i tried getting the sim changed. But the problem stayed intact.
What can be the issue pls help me get this sorted out.

Try going to your mobile network settings through the settings menu, and make sure its on gsm.
Another thing you could try is, download phone info from the market, and also double check that is on gsm network.
Thats the best that i would know
Did that..no results. Somebody help me please.

It might be caused of 3G-2G loop. Set your default network type to 2G to see if it helps.

Hey thanks semseddin, issue happened to be that only.
But to my belief once we have put it into automatic mode. It should automatically shift to edge where 3G is not available.

That depends since the radio on the xt912 isn't meant to work at its best in U.K. You could alternatively try another simcard preferably a 128kb microsim.
got a droid razr gsm XT910. the issue is it won't work on a certain sim (suddenly) asked the network if it was blacklisted (NO) and until now im still wondering what caused the issue. just sharing
Bro Put it On Global Network mode Then later switch to Gsm Mode then u should get signal if any pm or reply ur quiery here

[Q] does GMS functions fully (with 3g) on XT912 running ICS?

HI,
Thanks in advance for helping. I am planning to buy a used Motorola Droid Razr XT 912 (verizon) phone for my brother. We are on GSM network. I am not clear if I upgrade to ICS GSM will be unlocked and works full like a GSM phone or not.
Will there be any issues like data not working/3G not working etc?
Quick help will be greatly appreciated as I have to confirm to prospective seller!
Thanks you!!

You need not to install GSM patch..ICS has enabled the global functionality of the phone.
GSM works flawless except of one problem ( call divert does not work)

Does that GSM functionality also include all the US GSM carriers? And if it does, does it work on the US GSM Carriers 3G networks?

6) turned radio off
7) selected wcdma preferred
8) turned radio back on
9) pressed home key

4G Signal after JB OTA

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!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
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.

Droid Razr global mode

Hey guys I have a droid razr from one of my old lines I wanna fix it up and give it to someone in Europe. I actually do have T-Mobile.pl(poland) sim card with me.
When I do factory reset for a second it shows Roaming triangle i also went into the service mode and changed it to WCDMA for GSM usage.
Still shows no service at all when I put the same sim into my S4 it shows T-Mobile roaming and it gets service.
Can anyone help me out where on what to do?
PS. it's the Verizon one.
EDIT: installed CM 10.1.3 , in status it shows phone number as European but signal strength shows:
2147483647 dBm 255asu
shows signal just fine with same SIM in 4S.
If i can't fix it this phone becomes useless so someone please help me out I heard this phone might take a while to accept the SIM Card so I will give it like an hour maybe.. also mobile networks set to GSM auto
Did you try the gsm fix for the xt912? From the dev form.
