Razr XT910, wi-fi connectivity, phone super slow

DW has Asia version of Motorola Razr, XT910. Lately the phone has been extremely sluggish. Although she doesn't mind it, I would have thrown that phone in the garbage by now.

The more pressing problem is its wi-fi connectivity. It doesn't seem to remember the home or work wi-fi networks. Every time, you are in wi-fi zone, instead of automatically connecting, it tells Wi-fi networks are available and you will have connect it.
Even after connecting, it doesn't seem to hold that connection. While sitting next to it, there is HTC One X, again Asia edition, has no problem with wi-fi at all. Browse and do whatever on the internet without any glitch. And this XT910, takes 5 minutes to log in Google messenger or facebook.

Any idea how to fix this issue. It is EXTREMELY frustrating to work with this phone. I paid full in cash for both the phones in India so it is not as easy as going to the operator telling them to fix it. (Extremely happy with HTC One X and extremely unhappy about XT910. Honestly, never thought Motorola is capable of make such sh*tty product. Even Chinese make better phones nowadays..)

Thanks for all tips in advance (apologies for the rant but I just want others who may end up with this used device learn, to stay away from it.)
 
I am not too sure if its a lemon because I purchased a sealed box so unless something is problematic from the factory itself..

I tried factory reset a couple of times but didn't change anything. I have not switched a SIM though..
 
no, they are manufactured in bundles, and sometimes can cause lemons to be made, it happens every now and then, just because the box is sealed doesn't mean it wasn't manufactured with a bad part. Do you have insurance on the device? it may still have the factory warranty on it, you may want to take it back to the place you bought it and explain the issue.
 
I was/am having the same problem. I found that when I'm on WiFi, if Data is also turned on (even though it's using the WiFi instead of Data), it's dead slow. Icons in the Play Store are very slow to load, apps that use maps load the map very slow, etc. As soon as I turn off the Data, it's back to screaming fast. If I turn Data back on, it gets slow again. I posted this in another forum and had no helpful responses (FDR, clear cache, reboot, etc.) I've already done these things and am still having the problem. FWIW, my wife's phone does the exact same thing. I believe this started with JB. Anyone else have this issue?
 
I have this issue, it is something i just live with to be honest.

It seems as though the data recognizes it as being faster than wifi so it utilizes it more, however data connections aren't reliable in the sense because of the amount of people on the network downloading. Airplane mode with wifi turned on is beast.

i think it is a jb feature that is pretty stupid that makes data take over for wifi in the play store.
