 I know there seems to be a lot of mixed reviews and issues concerning this model, I was hoping to be one of the lucky ones, but no... I'm having some issues.  The worst one, is that every time I leave it on the charger over night, it freezes, and i have to do a force reboot to get it to turn back on.  The second issue I've noticed lately, is that sometimes when I turn the volume up for the ringer, it somehow turns the ear piece volume up or down instead.  The second issue is tolerable, but the charging issue I need to figure out soon.  Are these common issues? Any fixes?

 

I have had my Razr M for about a month now.  I bought it mainly because of it's size.  I really don't want a different model, nor do I want Verizon to replace it with a refurbished one.  

It is rooted and unlocked, and I honestly don't know if it had these issues before I did the work on it or not.  I haven't really done much to the phone except unlocking the bootloader and the CWM recovery.  I've tried resetting the phone a couple times, no changes.

 

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron

I already deleted your other thread. It's better here as Help is more of a my phone is not working at all section. I would suggest grabbing the Utility and starting fresh with that.

I had the same issue with my M. Nothing fixed it . Utility or different roms. It would very randomly freeze overnight. I went on motos website and a few other people had the same issue but not enough for moto to fix it .

Perhaps a kernel issue?

I had the charging issue before on stock ROM.. But sometime after I installed my first ROM and now it stopped. Instead if the hone is off and I charge it from outlet the battery changing animation s gone and a static screen from old TVs is there, not sure if it charges or not. And always have to hard reset when it happens.

is USB debugging enabled or disabled?  how are you charging it (outlet or CPU), and what cord or you using to charge (the one that came with the phone, or a generic one)?

 

for best results, try enabling USB debugging, plug the phone into an outlet using the cord that came with the phone.

Thanks for the advice.  I used option 1 of the utility last night. I figured it was worth a shot. It seemed to do a better and thorough job of wiping my phone and starting over.  I also went with the TWRP recovery instead of the CWM.   So far so good.  My phone turned on just fine this morning after being on the charger all night.  I'll see how it does over the next couple of days.

I tried 3 different chargers including the one that came with it.  I don't believe it's a charger or charge method issue.  I was able to get it to function properly (so far), as mentioned above,  We'll see what happens over the next few days.  Thanks for all the suggestions.

I used to be a nay-sayer on charging cords, but i've changed my tune.  not all cords/adapters transfer the charge properly to the device in the same manner (different voltages, etc).  so that's why it's best to stick with the one that came with your device for charging purposes.

 

also, your battery stats could be out of sorts.  I used to recommend using a battery calibrator, but now I subscribe to the notion of letting your phone die completely, then re-charging completely, letting it die again, and then another full charge.  this will allow the battery stats to cache up properly and give a more accurate reading.

It looks like reflashing the stock rom fixed the issues.  Thanks for all the help.
