I have no issues. I didn't even wait to do a factory reset, it should be automatic just so you know you're starting 'clean'. I'm not using the JB launcher, but prefer the Atom launcher.
I'm confused because I have a galaxy s2 and updated to 4.1.2 just before my girlfriend updated her razr to the same. My S2 is all new, flashy, new menus/interfaces, text/talk/camera... everything is different and better. Her razr is basically the same as it was on GB, only switching around a few menus (icon locations) and really not much change at all. It pretty much sucks for her. We're both on jellybean 4.1.2 now. I'm on Element mobile which used to be alltel and shes on verizon.
I took the card out and re-seated it, was then able to access data.Everything except what is on the SD card. It is a full data wipe. Takes you back to like it was the minute it came out the box. You will have to redo your email, if your contacts are gmail they will be synced when you enter that account. Apps will be gone and all their settings, same with games and progress.
Sure its not a slide unlock?
Issues? Yes. And a FDR has not solved them. Despite doing a factory data reset well over a week ago AND a daily soft reset each and every morning, the phone will still randomly reboot on its own. Just did it about an hour ago.
Frustrating...
Thats how the wonderfull verizon/moto/google peeps think we need our phone to work. Dumbest thing I have seen since I stuck a fork in a wall outlet. Im using "On Call End" to have it go to the home screen after each call.I had major issues after receiving JB. Initially an FDR solved most of the issues, but I ended up doing a complete wipe and restore of the JB firmware release so I could get root restored. Wow, my phone is smooth as buttah now!
On thing I do find annoying is that every time I finish a call I find myself in the call log. This happens no matter where I started the call from (main screen, etc.). Anyone else getting this? Is there a setting I'm missing?

As much as it pains me to say this I may end up calling Verizon to get the lag my phone keeps having after the update. I think I'm going to delete the update file since I did download and side load it and see if that helps. I shouldn't need it anymore correct? I have done every single trouble shooting idea that has been thrown at me and I can't get it to go back to not being laggy.
I'm not rooted, and nor will I be.
Is that a harder wipe than an FDR?
Understood. Lately, I've been FDRing or reflashing the OS so much, I've really gotten the phone setup down to a science...Ergh, I'm not to keen on doing that actually. I realize it might be the last option I have other than Verizon telling me they are sending me another phone....BUT I did an FDR already and honestly I'm not starting The Simpsons game all over again. LOL. As stupid as that may sound....I'm to far in it. And like really, I don't want to set THIS phone up again. I realize if I'm shipped either a MAXX or MAXX HD that I'll have to do the same thing BUT it won't be the same. It will be a fresh phone.
In my crazy mind that's different to me. I might end up doing it but I'll call Verizon first and see what they offer me as a solution. I normally try to do this myself but they have been treating me really well as of late and I think my luck with that is going to fair better than my own options of fixes. If they stone wall me then I'll use the tool after I find a data saving program in the app store to save my stuff..
I am unsure where it saves the game to other than when I did the FDR after the update I lost the game data. And I am use to setting up my Bionic over and over again. The same thing with my Photon 4G. But I'd rather not do it with my MAXX. I'm going to shoot for the MAXX HD.
Problem solved. I called VZW and they sent me a Razr MAXX HD at no cost to replace my randomly rebooting Razr. Being a 22 year customer has its perks.
