Hello everyone. I recently purchased an unlocked Razr Maxx HD, and I think I'm gonna need a lot of help from you guys
I would define myself as quite technologically savvy, but not so much in regards to smartphones.

The "smartest" phone I ever had was a Nokia N91 a few years ago, and my last phone was a Nokia 5130 xpress music... So, yeah, I'm quite a noob when it comes to Android, I mean, smartphones in general. Bear with me

Hey everyone!

 

Updated to JB (rooted phone when I was on GB and couldn't do the OTA update and finally got around to flashing the stock rom)!  Can't wait to try out some of these cool new roms.

Best regards,

I thought it might be polite to introduce myself and express a bit of awe and appreciation for all of the experts on here before I fire away with my first noob question.  I'm a fairly typical middle-aged male... I'm happy to use phone technology, but am really about as far from being an expert/developer/etc as it is possible to get (that is, without being my parents). 

 

I'd had a Razr, moved to what is now a poorly abused Droid 2 that gave me great coverage, and withstood numerous drops, bumps and other semi-serious mishaps.  The phone outlasted two cases that didn't survive all the same drops, bumps, etc.    Finally I dropped it one to many times and the poor screen gave out, with the top quarter of the pixels turning black (interestingly to me, I could still "touch-activate" things in the area, I just couldn't see anything.) 

 

To shorten the story, I wanted to stick with a Motorola device since I feel I've been well served by them.  I "broke down" and bought a Razr HD (the day before they announced the Droid Ultra - a nice bit of buyers remorse there, but I couldn't afford to live another month with my screen in the shape it was).  After "playing" around with my new phone for a few days, I have to admit that I'm a bit underwhelmed (probably my expectations were to high to begin with).  Frankly, I know some of the problem is me and as I "learn the phone" better, I will become more impressed.  But I have more than a sneaking suspicion that some of the problem is all of the Verizon bloatware on the phone (that I will never use but can't delete).

 

Hoping to find out which apps I could safely delete and how to delete them, I began poking around the web.  At which point I encountered terms like root, bootloader, and ROM.  Which mostly showed me that my ignorance is quite dangerous and I could easily break my phone and/or end up with even worse things like malware, etc.

 

Which lead me to create an account and post here.  I doubt that I will ever have the aptitude, knowledge or skill to constructively participate in discussions.  But I want to let you folks who do know that I appreciate it and any/all help you might lend me and all of us other noobs out there.

Hello all!

 

A brand new, old guy (somewhat tech savvy though) joining to learn about my Razr Maxx specifically rooting and other development. I have a lot to learn but am eager to get on with it. Have been sick of all the crap on cell phones for years and hopefully this is the place to free me up, Safely. I look forward to any feedback/help/criticism/slappping around that the experienced here can provide. Thank you. Happy motoring.

I have been a high school math teacher for the last 16 years and an android enthusiast since my very first phone.  I love tinkering with my razr to the point where my wife thinks I obsess over it.  I'm pretty sure I'm in the right place to meet like minded people.

Hi Everyone,

I'm basically a newbie to Android, but I am a technical person; I'm a Linux Admin and enthusiast. I've only had a smart phone for about a year now and I've been dying to try Cyanogenmod. So I rooted, unlocked the bootloader and flashed a nightly build. I'm loving it, but today I started having a problem and this community looks like it might have some valuable information, so I joined. I'll do some searching before asking my question.

 

Looking forward to absorbing all your knowledge and experience, and sharing some of my own.

Greetings Razr Fans! I was an iPhone lover for years and used AT&T service. got a new job in the local steel mill and I had zero reception or connection to the Net. Found out only those with Verizon could get reception with their phones inside the Mill. Went to Verizon, paid off my AT&T account and was told I had to buy a new phone set up for Verizon. They were out of iPhones and so I got the Galaxy S3. Went into the Mill the next day and still had very little connectlvity, slow connection if any.

 

Went back to Verizon store and told them something was wrong, that I could not connect. I asked them if maybe another phone would do better and they said Yes. The guy told me to try the Razr HD. This phone worked out great for me with fast service. So I would  guess that not many people know that some phones have a better antenae and better reception.

 

I lost that HD phone and was told the Razr M or Micro was the same exact phone but only a bit smaller.

 

So here I am, after searching how to copy and paste info with the phone. I saw the app I wanted to use for copy and paste, but it seems I needed to be Rooted. Had no idea what that meant but came here to get the download for setting it all up.

 

Hoping to learn much while browsing this forum and Thank You for all the Help there seems to be  here!
