Mobile internet

Maybe I am uneducated in all of this, but I just got the razr the other day and the Wifi works great, but when I am away from home (no wifi connections) the internet isn't working. I figured it would be like all my other phones that still had the mobile web or whatever it was inside the phone that allowed me to still go on facebook or look up random thoughts on google or bing. Am I missing something here? Does anyone know what I am rambling about? Any help would be greatly appreciated, if it is not possible on this phone I would like to get another one Smiley Happy

thanks

Vic

In the notification area at the top there are network status indicators. When you are connected to the VZW network you should see a 3G or 4G status icon up there.

From any home screen if you tap menu-->Settings-->Data manager, Is Data Enabled checked?
Now go to: menu-->Settings-->Wireless and Networks-->Airplane Mode should not be checked.
Now scroll down to Network Mode(at the bottom)are you set for CDMA/LTE?

Try turning off WiFi when you're not at home ... I know others report that they have "smart actions" set to automatically switch between WiFi and 3G/4G .. Personally I've never done that -- I have a Toggle that switches WiFi on and off ... The point being that you only use one or the other for Data communications (Internet / email / social / etc) - when WiFi is active, 3G/4G will not be and vice versa.

Victoria i see that you were having a Issue with your Wi-Fi an the Mobile Network when to shut it Off an then On. I use the Smart Actions App For Wi-Fi an it Does Great as Soon as i Leave From my Home an the Area that my Wi-Fi Covers it Switches Maxx Back to the Mobile Net Work an then When i re-Turn Home it Switches back to Wi-Fi. If you would like to try this Method i Provided some instructions on how to Make it Work. B33 :smileyhappy:

Here they Are: Give them a Try an Good Luck.. I added a Video on Smart Actions down on the Bottom of the Page as well

To start this go to the Smart Actions App in your app draw: tap to go in while there on the main page tap the Green + sign to start you will have 3 choices go with ( Start from Scratch )
You will then see Triggers an Actions Tap the + for the triggers Select Wi-Fi Connection then you will need to select your Wi-Fi say for example bigbluesky11 once selected you will need to tap it to Enable it. While still on this screen you will see a white box above triggers With New Rule an a bar flashing Tap the Box an put {Home} that's what i put for mine
Next you need to set up an Action to do that you tap the + for the Action Select Cellular Data once you select that It will pop up asking to Enable or to Disable Select Disable!
Once you are done with setting up these Settings down on the bottom of the phone are {Add Rule} or {Cancel} Choose Add Rule an your Set up is complete.

What does this do you ask it shuts off the Cellular Radio automatically when your home an when leave home an your out of range of the Wi-Fi the Cellular radio kicks back on Automatically. You don't have to mess with turning it on an off all of the Time

Smart Actions work really well you just got figure How you want to set them Up an an what turns off what an When. Like when i want to Listen to my Ear Phones when i plug them in it automatically kicks on my selection witch is Winamp an all need to do is tap the station i have selected to play my Music. I hope this helps ya out an Question please ask at this Post. b33
