Phone is horrible after ICS update!!!

When i first got my Razr, it was great. Everything worked perfectly, it was fast and i enjoyed using it, especially since it was 4G.

Then i updated it to 4.0 ICS....all down hill from there...

Its worse than my old blackberry was...I can't send pictures/MMS, it gets so hot from doing nothing that thermal protection kicks on and dims the screen, it stopped syncing emails from my aol account randomly and then will all of a sudden give me 300 notifications for emails, it hardly ever runs in 4G and it used to always have 4G in my area, it randomly hangs up during a call or the mic drops out so the other person on the line cant here me or vise versa, and worst of all...the worlds most annoying thing........it randomly pauses my music...no matter what app its playing from, it will randomly pause for no reason...and, when the music is playing, from any app, and i get a phone call, when i answer it, the music keeps playing....so i have to manually go back to the app and pause it......its extremely frustrating b/c my phone used to be great, and now the only thing good about it is the way it looks.....

Any fixes for these issues yet?

I never liked OTA updates. When "pieces and parts" of an operating system are updated like that, sometimes the modules don't get installed in exactly the right places and so the software is unstable and works all quirky. On my old Moto Q the only way to update was through firmware sideload. I updated my OG DInc the same way. Downloaded the whole ROM image (RUU) and sideloaded it from my computer via USB. Never had any kind of a problem with a ROM flashed from scratch like that. Installers of custom ROMs via sideload dont have these kinds of quirky problems either.

90% of these reported dysfunctionalities would go away if the carriers and OEM's allowed users the option of sideloading the rom image instead of slipstream OTAs. My suggestion is to bug Motorola to upload to their site an RUU for the ICS image for your Maxx like they did for my old Q and let you pull and flash it. Though it's unlikely to happen.

One thing you have to Make sure is that the Update went Fully through if not you can o cure some issues but one thing you can do is a F.D.R. that can help allot especially if you have Quite a few Apps..

Mine (Droid Razr) was just like that after the update. Everything slowed wayyy down and the battery got really hot very quickly. It's been about 3 weeks since then and everything is running fine now. It's not sluggish anymore at all and I didn't do anything. Perhaps an update was pushed out and I didn't know it.
