Question

Droid Razr Maxx - 2012

Dec 22, 2014 12:48AM PST

My phone is starting to get very slow and sometimes just gives blank page while I am searching.
It loses GPS signal all th time while on road trips now, in a large city, not just rural.
Can the phone just be to old to work perfectly anymore?

Phone calls are not being dropped, that portion is ok it is more the smartphone apps that are just dragging.

Any thoughts?

Factory reset and if the hardware is good it will return to its prior speed.

But if I factory reset I loose everything on phone, correct?

That's the idea.

Since a phone can fail, get lost or damaged, why would anyone not have their stuff on backups?
