Why can't I do anything without Wifi on?

I just got my Razr last night and I find that I cannot do a damn thing without being connected to wifi. Even something as simple as getting a GPS lock for weather requires wifi. If I lose my Wifi connection I cannot even get my Verizon e-mail/ The 4Glte icon is on my phone andI have 2 or more bars, but if no Wifi I can't do much. This is very frustrating as I upgraded from an old Droid X which worked like a charm. Almost every feature I have tried on this phone is worse than the Droid X version.

Check you Settings / Wireless and Networks / Check Mobile Network and make sure its enabled.

It says the Preferred network mode is CDMA/LTE. I also checked that Data enabled is on, Background data is on

Is this a recent issue or was you able to connect at one point and it just stopped?

I have no idea. I haven't even had the phone for 24 hours yet. Knowing Verizon, they probably didn't activate my phone properly (like the last two times). I know that the the phone didn't know I had Visual Voice Mail and asked if I wanted to subscribe.

Is your Old phone still on.. or did you shut it off.. If it is On Shut it Down as it can interfere with your Maxx..

Another thing you can do is pull the Sim Card After you Shut Down the Device Leave it Out for at lest 2 min then put it back in your Maxx be care when handling the Sim Meaning do not touch the Gold area of it. It's sensitive to Static Electricity an Oils on your Fingers..

Also when installing it back in the Device make sure it is Fully Locked in there is a Spring Mechanism that catches it an Locks it in. Use a Round Wooden Tooth Pick Cut to Blunt Face to fully but Gently Lock in the Card.. b33

I called CS and they resent the activation codes and had me do a soft reboot and now all is well. As I thought, the activation didn't work fully.
