Droid Razr loses 4g signal alot

I thought I was upgrading when I got the new Razr and sold my Thunderbolt. Unfortunately I was wrong. I cannot receive a 4g signal where the Thunderbolt used to come in strong. Also in regards to battery life it's very similar except you cannot buy an upgraded battery as it is internal. Has anyone had any issues with 4G?

I know what you mean. I had a crackberry, but at least I was able to get my work emails whenever I needed them not just occasionally throughout the day. My 4G has been down since last night. The phone may be nice to look at and have plenty of bells and whistles, but if the 4G is not working what good are they? Occasionally it will pick up a 3G signal, so my emails will come in and I can respond, but that is not frequent. I have had the phone less than a month and had the SIM card replaced. Too bad I signed a 2 year contract. Probably time to seriously think about leaving Verizon!

Has yours been updated? ( Home Screen --> Menu --> About Phone --> System Version should be 6.11.748.
If not, tap System Updates at the About Phone main menu screen.

I have to think it's an issue with your specific device if your 'Bolt worked ok in the same locations.

I am up to date may just have a bad phone. As I'm typing it just went from 4G to nothing.

You gotta brick my friend!

I would try doing a factory reset though. Install something like WonderShare MobileGo or MyBackUpPro from Rerware to make sure you get what you want to keep backed up. Then blast that sucker, make sure and format the media area.

Oh! Also do: Home Screen --> Menu -->Settings --> Storage --> Manage Internal Storage and move anything that's on the internal sd(media storage/internal storage, whatever you want to call it) to your Micro SD.

All total this'll take 10 minutes and may be just the ticket.

Or, you gotta brick
