Is there a way to get the Razr to vibrate more like an iPhone?

I dont know how some people have went through 3,4, and even 5 razrs. I got my original razr around december and havent had any problems out of it. idk if there is a bad bach of of them that came out or what but it is just kind of shocking that people are having so many problems out of their razrs.

Assuming these are "clnr's" that's why people go through so many, refurbs are a joke :-( AND once you're in the cycle of refurbs its hard to get out :-(

Every phone out there has stories like this. Consider yourself lucky!!

No kidding! I'm on my 3rd. My first one I got on opening day in November. The speakers cut out about a month or so later. A couple of months ago, #2 had a problem with the battery and it got hot to even touch it. Knock on wood, #3 is all good.

In fact, I don't think I've ever kept the original of any of my smartphones because of hardware problems. My family, also all Droid users, think there's a curse on me.

My 3rd one (the one I'm using now) wasn't a refurb. But I wouldn't have minded anyway. My husband is in the IT industry and he often prefers refurbed computers because everything has been tested and most times, the hardware has been replaced.

I don't think Verizon is that good about CLNR's. They probably just look it over and flash em.

I've had my share of CLN replacements, usually I have to go through 3 or 4. Some are clearly used, others look like they are right out of the box.
This is not exclusive to any single model of phone. I've returned CLN for 4 different types of phones

On my dumb phones it wasn't as big a deal. Luckily with the smartphones, I was able to get a new one when my X bricked itself out of the box installing Froyo.

Although my moms Ally has been ridiculous. Dropped many times, went in the toilet, dropped in the sink and more and it still keeps on rolling.

Bad phone #3 ended up not only having a bad speaker connection but it has worthless data radio like phone #1 (according to VZN not only is there no outages my area but in my entire state).

Sprint was a lot better with warranty replacements, at least the 1 time I needed it, they gave my a NIB phone, including the box & accessories.

There definitely needs to be some better work done on these refurbished phones. My first DX worked great for 5 months or so. It started to get hot so I went to the store. After that they replaced my phone 5x with refurbs (all had different problems), finally they allowed me to have an early upgrade. So I went through 4 phones in the second 5 months of that year. Knock on wood - I've had 0 issues from my Razr! I hope you get everything worked out on yours!
