    Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

    Really? I appreciate the help but why can't Motorola make this phone work the way they say it should? You folks are finding all these workarounds to overcome the Motorola deficiencies. People pay over $1,000 for a phone and get a faulty product. Just my $0.02

    Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

    Yes, I have selected that. But, as it says, "while charging". The method I posted in #8 scares me a little. If I leave my phone somewhere it will remain unlocked for any one to use.

    Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

    For the Unlock issue I think I found a crude work around. I can set the delay before sleep to 30 minutes (I once thought I saw "never" but can't find that setting anymore). Then I can set "lock after sleep" to 60 minutes. If it works it means I have a 90 minute window wherein I should not...

    Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

    Hadron, Wow. Thank you for that detailed analyses. I think I have followed your train of thought already. There are a lot of "switches" that have to be thrown the right way. I think I did that but I'll keep playing (unless I get so Pi$$ed I send it back). I also considered some kind of...

    Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

    Thank you for responding. When I started this post I considered listing all the things I tried but decided no one would want to plow through all that. So I will answer all questions and try everything anyone suggests. Under "More Security....." , I set Auto Lock OFF. (I also tried it ON, no...

    Motorola Razr Won't Stay Unlocked and Won't Text With my Car

    I am really fed up with this new Motorola Razr Ultra 2025. It is supposed to operate "Extend Unlock". and I have spent many hours trying to get this to work (I'll mention some of what I tried down below). Now, I discovered yesterday that my car reports, "The currently connected phone does not...

    Android(?) May Have Hurt My Phone

    Well, this phone was perfect for me until "android" did something to it the night before last. Why do I have to make changes, uninstall stuff I use because some software "weinnee" though I should try their useless crap. Maybe you can tell I am pi$$ed over this intrusion on my life!

    Android(?) May Have Hurt My Phone

    I woke up this AM to find the attached screen. I don't think I did anything to cause this. However, yesterday I got some message about new Android features. I looked at the message and it was about some AI stuff. Four items in all. I have no interest in any of them. Is that what caused this...
