Update

[Susie2057]

That's odd since I am on JB, and I have the search bar on one screen only......

On my husband's Razr M it is a permanent fixture that resides at the top of the phone regardless. You can change your screens but the Google search feature doesn't move as you change screens so unless the razr maxx is different the google now search bar is on the screen no matter what screen you are on.
I read in a review the home screen will always be on the left on the RAZR HD with jb stock launcher. I prefer my home screen in the middle so I can scroll 2 to the left or two to the right.

Can anyone confirm if the razr maxx ( not HD) got the capability to use nfc to beam pics etc to another nfc phone?

Do you have a Maxx, or Maxx HD?
On the Maxx, the home screen is still in the middle position, 2 to the left, and 2 to the right.
I sure don't know about the NFC, sorry.

Razr Maxx (not HD) is not equipped NFC capabilities.

Would be the same here except I don't even have the search bar on one page, I just use the magnifying glass to pull up Google Now.

I would suggest finding someone that has a razr /razr maxx on jelly bean to compare apples to apples, build for the Razr M is different then the original razr and maxx.

Also, no issues with wall papers on my end, what specifically are your issues with wall papers?

It's not wall papers per se but using your on photos as wall paper do not crop right ( allow entire picture to show). But you are right I do need to look at a razr maxx who is stock with the JB update to compare any differences. I just know I did not like how JB was in the razr m.

Its the same way on Maxx RAZR..just doesnt crop well to get the entire pic. I actually have both the Maxx and M home launchers..they crop the same exact way.

No on the NFC, apparently no chip installed.

The Google bar is not a fixture on our screen, can be removed and only shows on one screen (unless you put multiple)

JB on the Razr is mostly improvements to the notification curtain, faster phone all around and Google Now, some other minor changes and updates, but nothing else major that I can think of

Susie, you can't compare JB on your phone like the one on your husbands. Even though they would be the same version technically your husbands version is gonna be different then yours. Your concerns with the Google search is not a concern, it is only one one page on your version, not all like your husbands phone. No on NFC since your phone never had the option as far as hardware to begin with. JB does not turn it on for it is not there on your phone. I know these issues for a fact since I still have my Maxx with JB on it and my Maxx HD which is different.

Good to know but still not accepting the upgrade unless it sneaks on my phone itself. If that is the case then I will root my phone which I have avoided doing since I have owned a smart phone. So far I have delayed the upgrade 3x. I have always been excited about the newest upgrades up until now.

You could always flash to version 215 (ics) as that takes you to a unreleased version of ics but takes you off of the upgrade path. No root required. There are instructions in this forum just don't have the link. Supposed to be a better version of ics, and it seemed a little better to me when I had it.

Thank you. I did flash it so now have to wait and see f it still wants to update. Hoping this stops it.

I am 95% sure it won't ask to update. Also go into settings-->more-->mobile networks-->network mode and change to LTE/CDMA..it is probably set to global. Assuming you are only using in US..no need to set to global.

Thanks for all your help. It has not asked to update :biggrin: I also switched it from global to LTE/CDMA.
