Hello happy forum members!,

As you all may know, the secret is out! There is a software update for the Motorola Droid Razr and the Droid Razr Maxx! This update provides many enhancements such as:

  • Mobile hotspot connectivity improvements.
  • 3D map improvement to VZNavigator.
  • Improved data connectivity functions.

As always, the software update is being pushed out over the air. The process takes about 7 - 14 business days to complete. The rollout started yesterday, 2/6. Of course, we don't have a schedule as to when the update will be in available to certain markets. I wish we did but it is what it is! If you would like more information on the software update and the benefits then you can review the links below.

Congrats to those who already received it. If you would be so kind as to post your opinions on the enhancements as we all are interested in knowing.

Thank you...

From what I've seen budone this seems to be a pretty good update.and since the Pm I sent to ya we've had nothing but solid & heavy rain. An what a light show. And get this out in Colby an Goodland kansas they should be receiving about 12 to 13 inches of snow. And they're under blizzard conditions right now because of the high winds. But as it goes in kansas one day or days you get pretty Weather and then something else the next day. B33

That "something else" is headed my way this weekend. 😞

Back on topic.

Has anyone gotten the Droid Razr Maxx update yet?

Might want to wait on that update; I just did it on my RAZR MAXX, and my internet browser is much, much slower now.  I've posted a question on this forum; hopefully we'll get this resolved soon,.
