Motorola Droid Bionic :: Delays More Delays And No Unlock?
Oct 13, 2012
How many of us have delt with the troubled 3G-4G data connection issue since this phone first came out. The Droid Bionic was to be the best phone Moto put out, but delays made the phone pre dated as the Razer came out soon after. Then software updates to patch the connection issues were delayed patch after patch after Patch.Now Moto says they will NOT unlock out phones, the will NOT give us Icecream in the 3rd QT, and they will Prob NOT give us jelly Bean untill 2014, just so we cant get there $100 claim to fame Jelly Bean promise, yet still stuck with an out Dated Phone.
I Can't get another phone it was my last one before my son was born and I wanted the best so it would last. Then Verizon descided they needed to limit my choices and make me pay more to do so (well No new contract) I still get mostly 3g in an area that has 4g, still have to use airplane mode once in a while to get my internet, battery drains constint, no Jelly Bean and LOTS of LOADED Bloat Ware....

I updated my droid x today and now I am having major problems receiving my gmail email in a timely manner. With froyo, it was instant, now I have to wait 10 mins to close to an hour to receive the email notification. Even if I go into the gmail app and push 'refresh', it does nothing.

Firstly I have 2 icons that flash intermittently in the top right of my homescreen - 'DA' and 'ENG'ould someone please advise what they mean, and why they are thereI have been using the phone for 2 months, and they have only appeared in the last week or 2Also, the phone is very slow to unlock, etc - there is a lag. My memory is ok, but I have many texts saved. Will this impact the delay in unlocking?

I have experienced delays of up to 6 hours between the time an e-mail hits my comuter and my BBerry. I've checked settings and have spoken to ATT and Godaddy, and both believe the issue rests with BBerry.I do have imap e-mail service with godaddy and POP3 to my computer and the BBerry picked up the change to imap with no problems.

It makes everything delayed while the icon is showing and it shows up all the time when I try to do about anything.

So I have recently changed from iPhone to the Nexus 5 (love it BTW). It has been a bit of a nightmare due to apple, especially SMS and MMS. So my issue is that people are not receiving my messages right away and incoming takes forever if they ever make it, pics are even worse! I realize Apple registers your mobile number with their servers for imessage and pretty much lock it down so it has a hard time reverting to SMS again. I have unregistered my mobile number with Apple in all aspects. This seemed to work for me but people are still having issues replying to my messages.

I've been using the face recognition unlock feature on my table (ASUS Transformer Prime) since it got ICS early this year, and have been pretty happy with it, so I was excited to have the option on the Bionic. I've been disappointed, however, as it doesn't recognize me the majority of the time. I've tried the "improve facial recognition" function, but have difficulty getting it to "lock" on my face

I miss the ability to push the top wake button and be able to slide slider over to move from Vibrate to Ring like I used to be able to with my Droid X and Droid D1. You can only switch from Ring to Vibrate that way now.

After doing recent updates, the normal swipe-to-unlock feature of my Bionic stopped working. When I press the power button, I'm taken right to the home screen; I don't have to unlock. Even if I use Settings -> Location & Security and add a PIN or pattern lock, these do not work; each time I turn the phone back on, I go right back to the home. Sometimes the swipe screen flashes up but then disappears. The "Security lock timer" setting does not matter (i.e. it is set to 1 minute, but even after that, the phone is never locked. Occurs even after a hard reboot (shutdown, remove battery, power back up), although sometimes the swipe to unlock works for a short time. I've never rooted this phone or done much else beside install some apps from the Android Market. I do have Lookout running.

My only "complaint" is that whenever a call comes in or when I make a call, it always has it on the phonespeaker and not over the car dock audio connected to the radio. I have to press the speaker button to turn it off each time.way to have it default to the speaker being off?

Does anyone know of any surefire way to transfer files to and from the Bionic to a windows 7 PC?
I have been using Zumocast, but that's only a one way deal. You can stream and download files from PC onto the Bionic, but not vice versa.Also, I tried to download a 1.4 gig mp4 file but it doesn't fully download, and makes my notification area on my Bionic force close and the whole phone just wigs out and requires a reboot. So Zumocast needs to do some updates in order to support large file transfer.
Anyway, I am looking for a way to transfer files from my phone to my computer(s) wirelessly. I don't always have my USB cable around.

Im having the same issue as a lot of other people (so i read). Mine has progressively gotten worse. My data connection shows active (sometimes it doesnt) but I cannot transfer data. After multiple restarts/battery pulls, i have data connection but NO app will transfer data except the web browser and dolphin. Even Gmail will not sync. So i can surf the web, but cant check my gmail app, pageonce, etc, etc. Wifi/bluetooth work fine. MOST of the time I can still text / make calls but not always.
I am hesitant to do a factory reset as the last time i did this, it did not change the problem and i was stuck with nothing because i had no data connection to connect to my google account with (nor wifi, i was on vacation).

I can get a 4G signal rarely in home. At work and mobile I am usually 4G.I expect to be on 4G for a few years (5G anytime soon?) and was thinking of spending $$$ on a Wilson repeater to pick up 4G with a directional antenna and amplifier for home: url...I am a licensed Amateur Radio operator and the principals involved seemed sound to me.Also, does anyone know how to put the Bionic into Field Test Mode?

Any one have any luck getting the FIOS Remote app working on their Bionic? I got it downloaded and followed all the directions but it wouldn't sync up. Home net is a std Verizon issued router (only thing custom is the net name, channel, and crypto key) and the Bionic is able to get on the wifi no problem.

Gmail is my email. I long ago disabled the "conversation" (threaded) view of messages in Gmail iitself on the web, and in settings on any device. However, I can't find a way to do this on the Bionic. There's no option in accounts > Gmail. I HATE having the emails strung together like they were text messages. One of the major issues is losing attachments (ex: photos) in earlier emails once additional ones have been added to the "thread."

Have experienced this with a couple of applications (Freecaddie Pro and My Tracks) the program is suppose to store to SD card and it saves to internal memory. Spoke to the developer of Freecaddie and he checked and it is suppose to save courses to SD but Bionic saves to Internal Memory. With My Tracks even when I pick "Save to SD card" is saves it to Internal Memory. What is up with that and is there a way to correct it?I know my SD card is working because I have moved pics and music to it without a problem.

When I go to "My Accounts" on my Droid Bionic, and then click on "Add account", I get the error message "Sorry! The application My Accounts (process com.motorola.setup) has stopped unexpectedly."
I wiped out my Bionic and then re-set everything up, and it was working fine until I added my FB account, and then removed the account. Now I can't add any new accounts at all.

I used Google's https: market.android.com to transfer all my apps from my Droid 1 to my Bionic. By and large it was seemless and quick. However, less than half of my Gallery pictures made it over. Because the Gallery is a stock app and not in the marketplace it is not on the the above market transfer desktop application.I also have astro and estrong on my device.

I'm not looking for an answer (although if someone has one I'm more than happy to hear it), I'm mostly just putting this here so someone at Moto can read it. I went to use my bluetooth headset and got nothing (a problem I reported earlier), so I rebooted the phone. That fixed the sound, but I noticed I had no network. I saw a post that said it would come back if I toggled airplane mode. It put the phone in airplane mode just fine, but when I asked it to turn off airplane mode, it immediately rebooted.

I know the update is supposed to be rolling out today, and according to vzw you're supposed to be able to do a manual update but every time i check it says i'm up to date and no update is available. so what is the official status is it live or not? or are you only able to do manual if you have an unlocked phone.

My phone was having restarting issues before the ICS update, it was happening every other day or so but when the ICS update came through it appeared that my phone was fine.
In the last week and a half or so all of a sudden it would start suddenly resetting, 4 times in the middle of calls that I can remember definitely and 3 or 4 times while it was sitting on the counter charging (once multiple times in a row). It doesn't seem to be tied to any specific action and I was wondering if there is any kind of diagnosis or app that I can run to try to figure out of it's a memory/freezing problem?

my LED light will not shut off rendering what should be a "feature" into an "I'm this close to getting a hammer and going to town" incident.Wish there was a way to turn it off entirely.I don't know what else to check.
- gmail
- Gtalk
- SMS
- Work mail
- Twitter (only have the twitter app signed in not the other)
- Even power off / power on has no effect
Every android phone I've had (Droid, Inc, tbolt etc) has done this. But none has flashed the LED for hours. I'm not sure if it ever turns off.
