Did Verizon kill WiFi on my Maxx?

[Raven1155]

I think I've figured out why my WiFi hasn't worked properly since I upgraded to OTA ICS... Having the WiFi drop out all the time forces me to use the 4G, which they can charge me for!

Seriously, can anyone suggest a way to get my WiFi functioning as smoothly, consistently and fast as it did when I first got the Maxx (with the prior operating system, which I've forgotten the name of)?

Any and all help appreciated!

did you do a factory data reset? It is highly recomended ou do so after the OTA update.

I just went through this with another poster. Read this post and try everything it says :
Razr Maxx Drops WIFI after 30 min of NO activity

I'm trying to install the .215 as I type this...

I'm SUPER leery of the Factory reset, as I have some apps (PimliCal, PocketBible and possibly others) that I didn't get from Google Play/Android Market! However, I do want to ask one thing- If I'm successful loading the .215, will a Factory Reset take me back to .211 and, if not, how do I get back to kosher if there's an OTA update coming?

Thanks in advance!

Save the apps on your computer and reset that thing

Motorola RAZR MAXX - XT912 - .215 radio - SimplexROM 1.2 - Wigdetsoid - Tether - Linux Installer w/ UbuntuV5 Lg - Otter Box - Safestrap - Chrome - Tweaked Camera - AIDE - 80gb Storage w/64 removable - 6 columns & 7 rows

To answer your question...no, it won't take you back to .211. Another option is to download Mybackup from the market. You can backup ALL of your apps prior to doing an FDR, then reinstall Mybackup again, then reload your apps. Also, I'm going to ask this question again...did you ever reset your router?

I wouldn't hold your breath for an update, there has been rumors of an update for quite some time, but nothing so far. If an update ever does happen, you will still be able to install it one way or another.

Cleave,
Thanks! I do have MyBackup, so we'll see on the FDR. As far as the router, yes, I have reset it (a few different times).

I don't root, or have any computer programs that do anything to or with my Maxx, so I'm not sure how I'd get back to .211 and >IF< any OTA were to come, I would imagine that I'd have to get back to before installing the leak to "qualify" for that upgrade, that's why I asked. I gave up "expecting" upgrades quite some time ago.

Sully, I have NO idea what you're trying to tell me with this list of apps/features... Sorry!

Just throwing this out there but how did you reset the router?

If you havent already resolved this and you didn't unplug the modem/router...try doing it..wait about 30 secs b4 plugging everything back in.

Again not sure if you did this or not..

Sully's signature is just listing his phones features..nothing for you to do with the list.

Sully was just saying back things up on your computer.
