So I was considering taking my new RAZR HD Maxx back because my notification light seems to not be working. I ran the battery down and there was a red light flashing, so I'm wondering...... is there something I have to do to get the notification light to work for notifications of the normal things like email, text, talk, facebook etc?
Thanks in advance!

So I did some more googling, looks like if you use the "restore" feature it can cause the LED not to work properly when setting up the device.... i mean WTF lmfao.... anyone found any work arounds let me know. I'll hold off until Monday to do a wipe and see if I can get this working.....

Odd. I did the google account restore and mine works fine... Have you done a reboot? Double checked the notification preferences?
Its worked fine for me. Might be something that works itself out after a bit. That is kinda normal to happen i guess.

download the light flow app and test notification. My first one didn't work at all. I exchanged it and the new one worked flawless, no issues. If the notification test doesn't work with the light flow app, I suggest you take it back and exchange it and download the app in store to test the exchanged unit.
My exchanged unit worked asap with the test I ran with the light flow app.
There is a video on droid-life I believe that shows you how to do it. Just google, droid razr hd notification light and it will show up.

Yeah, I had the same problem. First time I set it up, I restored from my Google account and the LED did not work at all for notifications. I tried Light Flow, but that did not get the LED's working again. I factory reset the device, but this time I did not restore from my Google account and the LED's starting working again. I had to manually restore my apps and settings.
I've done this a few times to test and everytime I restore from my Google account, the LED stops working. Definitely a bug in the restore functionality.
Dang, same problem here. Looks like I'll have to factory restore tomorrow after root and tibu.

When doing the test mode from the light flow app, is green the only color that is being tested on RAZR HD?

Light flow put my phone in a boot loop. Be careful. I have the paid version.

I've tested Blue, Green and Red so far. Those work well - will try yellow and white later.
My notification light works with light flow as long as screen is off. Any way to get led to work even with screen on?

Pretty sure that is a limitation of light flow. Or it may be a Motorola limitation.

You're right. I checked with Andrew. The phone LED only works when it's off.
I wouldn't use light flow (free version). Tried it for a bit and made my phone reboot, freeze, and go really slow. Of you have bad battery, I would say light flow is the cause.

I have been using the same app since I got my phone a few days ago and I haven't experienced any problems you describe. Battery is awesome and the phone is snappy.

Same here, a lot of wake ups reported by better battery stats, could be normal though?

Anybody have the white RAZR?
Have you seen the notification light at night?
It makes the whole phone glow. It looks badass when its flashing red.
I don't know if the black phone does that.

That sounds awesome. Any chance of you taking pictures of this?
I'll see if I can take pictures of my first night with it
Since this phone has the biggest notification led ever, it is distracting when I am sleeping. I thought that turning background data off with SmartActions, or data sync off with Power Toggles would help. Neither has worked and I'm still getting notifications in the middle of the night. The only way to make sure its off is to turn off wifi and I don't want to do this because I want to get updates when I wake up. I have a case on so flipping over the phone doesn't really help. Is there another way?
Wow you must be a light sleeper!

Yeah it's annoying. If I didn't use the phone for an alarm or need it for work, I'd probably just turn it off when sleeping.

But what notifications are you getting?
I mean, what app are doing this?
Check this, works great for me.

Thanks memphis that app is awesome! It's mostly emails I get at night that annoy me and this is perfect.

My wife's new 925 is having weird battery problems. As you can see from the posted pics, the battery thinks it takes a charge but then drops off sharply thereafter. Any tips on troubleshooting this? Thanks!

Are you running a custom rom? Try re calibrating the battery.

I had the same thought but we aren't custom. I will try to find a way from stock.

Nope Telus. Any idea what disabling smart actions did to fix the problem?

im using stock razr hd running on 4.1.2 im disabled smartactions then dramatically battery improved
It's not the overall battery life that I'm concerned about. It's the sudden drop off on the charts above. They are strange and the reason why I doubt smart actions.

As an update we are still having crash issues only rectified by a soft reset, which at least used to precipitate the battery crash. Any other ideas? I'm trying to decide if we should just use the extended warranty or try Cyanogenmod.
Hello everyone! I have a RAZR maxx HD running Aviator Rom and everything works fine and smooth, except the camera. Sometimes I get huge brown stripes running over the screen, and I can't take a nice photo. After a reboot it is usually normal, but then it randomly happens again. Any ideas on that? Has anyone encountered the same issue?

your best option for help on that would be to post in the thread for that rom, as others running it may be more helpful.
i haven't seen anyone report this issue in general, sorry.
I cannot power off my phone. As soon it shuts down it boots again. Tried to search for an answer, but with no luck.
What might be an issue here?
System version: 9.20.1, Verizon
Android: 4.1.2
I am now rooted, but the problem was also with the factory wiped, not rooted phone.
Thanks in advance!
If your connected to a lap top to charge then it will auto start. Are you plugged into the wall?

Oh, you're right. This only happens when charging (either from laptop or wall). Not sure how I haven't noticed this so far
Thanks!
