Droid RAZR connectivity/service issue

[icemanind]

I have a problem that seems to be getting worst. My phone keeps losing service and data. It will stay connected for about 10 minutes, then it will lose service and not just 3G/4G connectivity, but phone service too. After about 5 minutes, it gets service back. It does not seem to do this if I'm on the phone or using the Internet. It only seems to do it when the phone is idle. I will literally get a red X through my signal meter. Verizon replaced my phone and that didn't solve the issue. They replaced my SIM card, which also did not help. I've wiped the phone several times and that didn't help. My phone is updated to the latest software version of ICS. Its got nothing to do with my cell tower. The same thing happens at work and I work a good 30 miles away in Phoenix. Has anyone experienced this or have any other solution I can try? It seems like everything on my phone has been swapped out so its really puzzling me. The most annoying thing about it is that it drains my battery. At full charge, my battery only lasts about 5 hours....and that's just being completely idle...not even using it.

If it is a new phone push red into a new one, that would be my plan.

I did. Verizon sent me a new phone, but I'm still having the same issue.

Have you tried putting it on 3G only mode to see if that helps? You can download the Thunderbolt LTE On/Off APP from the Play Store and change it to CDMA auto (prl).

Or you can dial *#*#4636#*#* from your dial pad on the phone, that will take you to a hidden menu. Choose Phone Information scroll down a little and you will see "Set Preferred Network Type, choose CDMA auto (prl).

See if that helps.
