I am in a FULLly coveage 4g LTE network...... the tower is less then half a mile i reset the phone for 10 minutes make sure CDMA/LTE is on ONLY ...........

and it keeps going to 3g still! but the bars on the 3g are all 6 !!!!!!! but im not even near the tower so WTF and also....... when i switch to CDMA only click automatic then immedeality switch back to 4g LTE it comes on for about 20 seconds and then shows about 2 bars to 3 bars then immedatly switches back to 3g again....... why?

Im new to verizon .........is it my phone are they doing upgrades or software updates are they diganosing the tower? what is keeping me from doing this i even went outside did a speedtest then it droped with in 30 seconds and turned to 3g with full bars....... why is it doing that?

Try this App it's called Restore Connectivity it's in the Google Playstore!  And leave the Switch in the CDMA/LTE position. Let me know if this Worked for you or Not..

Ok P.E. you say your not to far from the Tower Correct are you Sure it's a Verizon tower just asking ?  Does you Maxx pick up the 4G when you are in other area's of the City ?  i know San Antonio is Big but is the Phone working Say like 10 miles  20 miles from were you are at Home on different Tower. Bear with me it might sound like i'm asking to many Questions but i'm just trying to put a perspective on the issue

What i'm also trying to say to is there are Holes in the even in a Big City as Your's an even if your Close to a Tower it might not Be 4G.. But give me a Approximate area of were your at and i will pull some resources an see what you have..

It's not for me to say as it don't show on any maps when towers are being Worked on. Let's Try this Shut the Razr off pull the Sim Card Be Careful not to Touch the Gold Area of the Sim. Leave it the Sim out for at least 2 min an then Re-Install lets see what the Razr does then.  i was told by a Tech if in this situation to do this. An see if it Re-Registers an Pops up the 4G indicator.. Ok give that a Try..
