Droid Razr M Issues

[csimpson2213]

Ok all,

First off, let me start by saying that I am now a fan of Droid. I have an iPhone & a BlackBerry, and I must admit that "Droid Does". I recently purchased the Droid Razr M about 2-3 days ago. Great phone overall, smooth OS, fluid, quick, responsive, etc. Then there is the big issues!
The phone does a couple of weird things that irk me to no end! First off, I disable getting Text messages, missed calls & voicemails in the Circles Widget..after about 10 min or so, Ill get a text..and I notice it pops up in the circles widget. I check the settings and somehow all three are now checked after I disabled them! What the ?! Another thing that happens to me is that I will get a message indicator on my Text app stating I have a text..but when I check..no text. I even went through my texts to see if perhaps I missed one, but nope..Its quite annoying...and LAST but not least...Ive noticed my phone will randomly decided what the date and time is...ive got it set for automatic update time and zone according to the mobile network, but Ive noticed the phone to read 20:23 (military time) Sept.11...when in fact it is 2 OCT 2012, XX:XX AM/PM..is this happening to anyone else ? I am debating on whether or not I should take it back to Verizon for a new one...perhaps I got one of the bad phones!

I'd exchange the phone. Sounds like you got a wonky one.

A factory reset will fix the text count indicator issue and probably the other issues too.

How exactly do I perform the factory reset?

I also have a problem with the text and missed call notifications indicating that I have a text or missed call but alas, I do not. Considering returning.

A wee bit off this topic I know, but how do you customize the circles widget? I can't figure it out

Good question. I would like to know myself.

This is new news to me, I am with Sprint and using the Photon 4G, considering the issue you are referring to is something that I experienced when I first got my phone last year in August 2011 I would think this would be fixed across all Motorola phones if an OTA later released fixed the issues for us. Have you gotten the phone replaced and is it still occurring? Guess this is more reason to hold off until the 1st round of OTA comes out for the Razr M before purchasing.

Flip the battery indicator by swiping it and then press the setting icon.

I was having the same problem. (the phone saying I had a text when I did not) But my phone also could not send picture messages. I tried restarting the phone and so far it has fixed the problem.

Have a Razr M and it started to not come on when I clicked the silver button, re clicked and came up, then it just quit!! Blank screen, no calls come in, like it just went dead, battery was charged but had to always keep it charged as battery power is quick to dissapate from day one, anyone else have a Razr M that just went blank? not even a year old yet, taking it in today, hopefully they will have an answer
