Razr maxx HD camera issue - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Notification Light

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.

Very loud "droid" notification - even on lowest notification volume setting

Hello all -
Title pretty much says all, but I purchased a Razr Maxx HD on Saturday and after getting all my settings straight, I can't help but notice how loud the notification tone is. I've gone into volumes and set the notification to its lowest setting (can't understand why the volume is separated, but whatever), but when I get an email it is still very loud. Does anyone else believe their tone is unusually loud? Everything else sounds good, but I just can't figure out why this tone is so loud.
Lol yes. I came from an X2 and have noticed that the notification sounds are very loud even when on low settings.

Ok good, glad I'm not the one going crazy. Thought lowest volume setting would be good when the phone is on my desk at work. Little did I know the whole office would hear my notification even on the lowest setting....woke my wife up last night as well.

Thanks GoClif - call me stupid but I actually thought something might be wrong because the volume was so high. Glad to know it is normal.
Nah not stupid at all. One of the very first things I noticed when I unboxed mine.

Not that this will fix your issue.. but I installed the JB leak an have noticed for one the speaker is quieter than when on ICS overall.. and the notification volumes seem to reflect what you would think you would get when setting them to a lower setting.

That's good to hear. I've rooted and installed roms on phones for a few years now (starting with the Epic 4G on Sprint), but I just haven't taken that leap on this yet. The Maxx HD battery lasts so long and the phone seems smooth enough that I haven't had any desire to. Not sure if you even have to in order to run the JB leak, but I haven't gone there yet.
Thanks for that heads up - hopefully that stays when it becomes official.
That's promising. Maybe Moto is aware and will fix it through JB.
Sent via Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I didn't root either the leaked firmware can be installed on a stock phone.. and then if you don't like something you can go back to the official firmware easily.. I am still on the JB firmware and I have no major bugs although battery life seems to be slightly less (still great though)
The leak seems to me to be an early JB build as it is even more "stock' android than the ICS version. The "people" app is stock JB (it doesn't have moto's black themeing applied.. which I actually prefer.) The navigation keys are stock as well.

Guys, I have to ask. How are you adjusting your volumes? Volume rocker or going into settings /sound and adjusting NOTIFICATION volume?
Since our moto device doesn't have the expanded volume control on screen, I go into settings to make the change. Volume is then, not so scary.

Was just gonna say that. So used to volume down changing everything but under sounds.... solves the issue haha.

XT925 Battery Drop Off

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!

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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.

Shutdown on the Droid MAXX

First connected to my Droid Maxx, then installed Live Connect, then SmartWach 2 SW2 app. But then SW2 app suddenly stoped. And it repeat to shutdown every 5 sec. On my Moto x works fine.
Dont know what to do
Does anyone connect sw2 to motorola droid maxx or ultra?

Has anyone else experienced a reduction in battery performance on the sw2 after upgrading to KitKat?
Thanks in advance!
I have noticed a drastic reduction in battery life since I went from an HTC One to a Droid Maxx. They were both on KitKat though. It's only been a couple of days so I'm still looking into possible culprits.
