Razr crappy red bars??

I just bought a Verizon Razr. And on the main screen there is a red bar at the top an bottom of the screen with some information such as batt. level and signal strength. They are ugly and you cant see the full background picture that I paid 1.99 for. I want them off my phone! Can anyone help me with this? I have two friends with a different service and the same phone and they dont have those red bars. So any help would be great. Thanks....

If you've been reading the forums for some time, you would see that this is the new Verizon UI that will be on all future Verizon phones. You cannot take it off.

unfortunantly you cannot remove the red bars. the razr has a big screen tho im sure you can find a good background that is not dependant on that 1/8 of an inch on the top/bottum.

good luck

Red is also my least fav. color. Even if you could change it to blue or something. I dont think they should be forcing there colors on my phone that I use everyday.

Damn, I should go look too. I thought the UI was similar to the LG 9000/LG 8100, but it sounds like they made it worse for the RAZR....

Oh yeah, and Verizon crippled bt 😳

Did you guys know that??? 😎

Where have you been for past 3 months? Sometimes I wonder...

The answer to your question is no, however I see a minor developments of the UI, take a look at v325, in the camera mode bars disappear after like 5 sec (gunny, confirm 🙂 ). Look at 8945, bars are see-through. It's not over yet, trust me.
