What I see is this:

At my desk, i get no cell service, i run completely on wifi. When i leave my office and get out into an area where i actually have coverage, cell service picks up, but 3g does not. I dont have 4g service in my area, so 3g is all i get.

Toggling between cdma and GSM will sometimes fix the problem. Sometimes that doesnt help either. Sometimes rebooting the phone will work, other times that wont either.

Also, i had an odd issue the other day.

I was streaming audio from winamp while in the car. I connect my phone to my car stereo via the headphone jack.

All was going well, when suddenly the audio switched from headphone out, to the internal speaker.

I ended up having to exit winamp, and open a different app in order to reset it. And then when i disconnected the phone from the headphone jack, and connected it again (got out of the car, and back in), i couldn't get the phone to use headphone out.

I dont know if this is something others are seeing or not. Just reporting another oddity. I havent tried it again since.

Anyone gotten flash player to work? Running 3/08 build, no luck so far
[Motorola Droid 4] garlick2:
No, I am on the 3/10 build. Definitely improvements on the data connectivity issue.

I don't think they're ready to work on flash yet, till the data issue is solved.

Also, just a tip, if you flash 3/10 you will have to reflash gapps, so make sure you do that, as Ibooted up with reflashing and it caused a bunch of errors in my links.
[Motorola Droid 4] mystik1:
Data and camera are working for me, but my keyboard light is not. Anyone know a trick for that? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] bonesjones:
Flashed 3-10 and reflashed gapps, now can't open market, or google play as its now called.
[Motorola Droid 4] gdeeble:
I seem to have very little issue with this rom. I experience the data issue, and camera issue, but my question is, the camera issue doesn't have a problem with the rear facing camera, but the front face is messed up. Is it a matter of getting drivers and getting them working or is it the actual apps? The reason I ask is because I noticed the problem with Gtalk but camera was working fine till I went to front facing, and it locked the camera and then forced closed, but really want to use the GTalk video chat.

Delete Backups

I posted this on the Bootstrap thread but got no feedback, was wondering if someone on this thread could answer.

I was wondering if i could delete any of the safestrap backups from my SD card. It's using well over 3GB. Right now I have the following files in the backup folder:

Nonesafe:

cahce.ext3.tar

data.ext3.tar

nandroid.md5

osh.ext3.tar

system.ext3.tar

systemorig.ext3.tar

Orig:

data.ext3.tar

Safe:

data.ext3.tar

I was wondering, would it be safe to delete any of those?

Had to revert back to stock today. Data issues kept getting worse for me. Specifically, data keeps spontaneously switching to GSM mode. Was working fine at first but last few days have been really bad. Tried installing latest build as well as wiping data but nothing seemed to help. Everything else was working great! Hopefully this will be fixed soon in a new build. It killed me having to go back to stock.

I'm on the 3-10 build with the front camera fix, has any one had any luck actually doing any video calls?

I've tried tango, and google talk which fc's of course
[Motorola Droid 4] YahyaIsrael:
I believe its Google who is killing flash.
[Motorola Droid 4] helal348:
No, it's adobe. They'll no longer be supporting flash for new smartphones because soon html5 will become the new standard. At least, that's what i've read.

Loaded 3/13 this morning, 4G data syncs quickly upon boot, no issues there. I can go back and forth between LTE & WiFi easily, and no issues with that.

The trade off between 3G & LTE is definitely an issue. Had to reboot twice to get LTE back up and running after switching LTE back on from CDMA.

For me, it's not an issue, as I don't often go back and forth once I start up my phone, just warning people in case they use 3G for power saving.
[Motorola Droid 4] garlick2:
3/14 loaded this morning, and 3G to LTE hand off is not an issue any longer.

I don't have WiFi during the day to test, but that wasn't an issue on the 3/13 build.

FC

03-14 is giving me a lot of foreclosures and a a few reboots so far. anyone else experiencing this?
[Motorola Droid 4] bonesjones:
3-14 is perfect so far, just need flash to work,

And chrome would be nice,
[Motorola Droid 4] garlick2:
I haven't experienced FC's since 3/10 build.

I'm on 3/15 now. One thing to report, the 1% battery status is gone. It's now just the standard 10%.

Data connection is much more solid on this build as well, as I've switched between 3G and 4G a bunch of times so far without issue, and Wifi to 4G is fine as well.

Still had to toggle during boot, but after that everything was good to go.
[Motorola Droid 4] helal348:
3-14 still has data issues for me. Maybe because i haven't clean installed any of the updates. I'll wipe phone and clean install 3-15 tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hashcode:
We had a bad merge with some CM9 code for the 1% battery mod.

It was fixed last night, so I've updated the build to 3/16 in the OP.
[Motorola Droid 4] garlick2:
FYI, on droidforums, we've been messing around with the data on the 3/16 build. Came to find out that if you reboot using CM9 reboot, you lose 4G all together. 3G comes up, and 4G won't catch.

If you completely power down, and then power back up, 4G still won't come back up until you toggle GSM to LTE/CDMA.

Wifi to 4G and 3G hand off seem to be fine now, though.
[Motorola Droid 4] dsmdan131:
Just installed the 3/18 daily and things are running great so far wifi connected smoothly and 4g started on its own. have not tried anything blue tooth yet but i will post when i get in my car later. Awsome work
[Motorola Droid 4] male6363@hotmail.com:
I know this will be the most silly question on here... But i couldn't know where to ask! And i need to have %100 correct answer... I believe there is some people here who is sure about my question...

My question is, Can i use D4 in europe with standart GSM sim card... With my Vodafone! I want to buy one... But i am confused if it will work or not! So i made a delay my order... 1st i wanted to be sure...

Thanks a lot!
[Motorola Droid 4] jy3ng4:
Currently it is not possible, unfortunately.
[Motorola Droid 4] Hashcode:
Keep me updated if you can as to how the data is working. It probably won't come up all of the time automatically and you will need to toggle to GSM-ONLY and back to LTE to get it to work... but it should come up more often. And fight less when it doesn't come up. (It'll just stop retrying after 1-2 attempts instead of continuously cycle between GSM/LTE looking for service).
[Motorola Droid 4] dsmdan131:
so far i have rebooted 3-4 times and had no issues with 4g connecting on its own. Last night i did run into an issue where 4g said it was connected but email and all other network required apps were not connecting to the data service, Cycling the gsm/cdma lte did not resolve the issue and a reboot was required to resolve the issue. I am having the blue tooth issue which isn't that big of deal doesn't need to be on sucking up battery life when I am not using it anyway. I don't often use WiFi so any issues it may have i have not encountered.
[Motorola Droid 4] liquidoc:
I installed the 3/21 nightly today, after wiping completely.

Now I cannot connect to anything 3g or 4g...wifi connects, but it will NOT connect to any cell service.

I have tried switching between cdma/lte and gsm only, gsm only to cdma to cdma/lte, airplane mode (which resets it back to gsm only for some reason) then back to cdma/lte, rebooting, power off, power off with top button and volume down (simulates battery pull) numerous times, I was just overwriting the nightlies but after having an issue with the 3/19 build today not connecting at all after messing with it for over an hour, I decided to wipe clean and try it out.

When I first flashed the 3/21 build, it connected straight to 4g without me having to do any switching to gsm, now it just keeps cycling between a bar graph, and a bar graph with an R on it, no matter what I do the best I can get is for it to display the "3g" icon for a few seconds, but it never locks.

I love this rom, it makes this phone SCREAM, but I'll be darned if I can get anything but a flaky connection :(

I really don't want to go back to stock...it just felt SLOW compared to this, this is what this phone was meant to be, and everything works great besides this stinkin' issue with cell reception.

If it matters, I have 3-4 bars of 4g at my house from day 1 with this phone (that's where I'm testing) and I only started getting the issues with the 3/19 build once I went to an area with poor service, then it would never connect again besides when I went back to stock to call my wife and when I first flashed the 3/21 nightly.

***EDIT***

Finally got 4g to connect, but now it drops it out after a few minutes to 30 seconds of connecting, then keeps switching to the 'R' icon and back to 4g...connects, then loses it again.

***EDIT AGAIN***

4g connected like 2 hours ago after continuously playing with it, now it's locked and I'm afraid to touch anything in fear that it will lose it again and I'll throw my awesome phone into the wall in frustration.

I understand it's not the rom developer's fault, I wish motorola would release the source and unlock these stupid phones so we could get awesome rom support quicker, and less buggy, but dang this is annoying.

THANKS FOR THE ROM!!
[Motorola Droid 4] Hashcode:
You nailed the current issues that I'm researching in our data connection:

Anything less than perfect reception can be difficult to work with at the moment.

Sorry for the frustration -- its a work in progress.
[Motorola Droid 4] liquidoc:
I know you're working on it hash, I'm not frustrated with you, or those helping you, I'm frustrated that Motorola locked the phone and made it hard for you.

For now I went back to the stock rom, I need decently unflaky reception (seems even the stock rom has problems getting a data lock). I'll give the rom a shot every weekend or so until y'all say the data issues have been fixed.

The phone was slick **** on your rom, performed like how it SHOULD perform! Only issues were the ones you told me to expect, so no worries, I understand you're coding blind.

Thanks for the opportunity to check it out, otherwise I would've returned the phone by now, I am confident that you will get it licked and then ill have the perfect phone, it'll just take some time.
[Motorola Droid 4] CreepyE:
Hey I bet our frustration isn't sh*t compared to yours. You just keep doing the kick ass job your doing and well worry about pulling our hair out over data ourselves. Don't worry about us lol

[Motorola Droid 4] dsmdan131:
agreed.....

as always thanks Hash... just wanted to give you a bit of an update..

So I flashed the 3/23 nightly over the 3/18 and started out ok normal connectivity flip to gsm then back and i was off and running. i did notice that after 24 or so hours i was having to restart my phone almost like it was just forgetting it was connected. I tried several times to just change back to GSM then to cdma/lte but this did not restore connectivity... not a game changer but was odd... normal bluetooth issue and that was it works great

decided since i had been having to reboot because my phone was forgetting it was connected to flash again today and installed the 3/25 update again over top without wiping.

upon boot 4g connected flawlessly, phone has been very steady today granted its only been 7-8hrs since i updated.

also on a side note, not sure if it was a fluke but from lunch i forgot to turn the BT back off when getting out of my car and did not lose audio when my wife called me. i will test this more and keep you posted.
[Motorola Droid 4] gangrif:
So, I'm running... I've lost track... 3/23 I think, and I'm having the reported issues of course, wifi, 3/4g.... its very usable though! I have been running this rom solid (not feeling the need to switch back to stock) since 3/18 or so.

I'm also having this really odd media audio issue.

In the car, I stream music through the headphone out on my phone. I also generally have the phone powered by a cig. Lighter power adapter. The adapter is sort of cheap, so sometimes it loses its power, and I need to wiggle it around in the cig. Lighter socket.

The problem is, on cm9, this loss of power breaks audio... ill be streaming, power will cut out, and the phone switches to its internal speaker! Fix the power, and it mutes... or switches to some channel I'm not able to listen to maybe...

To fix it, reboot the phone, or unplug the power adapter from the phones micro usb port.

Weird, right? Has anyone else seen this?
[Motorola Droid 4] problematic:
I have been on 3-25 for about a week now and I haven't seen the phone do the perma-lock into roaming that I've seen with other builds. I have had to restart the phone and switch toggles and network types still though. Will you be able to use anything from the coming Razr ICS release to fix any of the current bugs?
[Motorola Droid 4] Coriolis3ffect:
Seems like everything is working on this ROM works almost perfectly... will have to give it a shot one day.

[Motorola Droid 4] Hashcode:
Hello,

Glad you'ree enjoying the ROM!

- The TOP 3 would be addressed once Moto leaks an ICS update for the D4 (like they did for the RAZR).

- Data issues are being looked at (I know .. they're annoying)

- FM Radio is tricky, I'll probably have to backport the Moto FM app. They didn't use the stock TI radio setup.

Other requests which are being looked at:

- HDMI support

- Ubuntu top (would need HDMI support)
[Motorola Droid 4] topxshelfxtre:
Well my data has gotten better through the day actually it was weird this morning but it held data all day. I just need to do some looking at the battery I'm only getting 8 hours. I'm going to try juice defender tomorrow

[Motorola Droid 4] nowell29:
+1 for ubuntu top

Webtop is great, but ubuntu top would be awesome!

I would like to get webtop2sd to work on droid 4, but the dev hasn't responded to my query yet.

Also, as an fyi, the atrix lapdock works on the droid 4 if you flip the connectors over. That is what I am using. Glad to give help and pictures to anyone interested. Just PM me. Cheaper and a bit larger than the lapdock 100's, especially if you get it off of craigs!

"LGEQualcommUiccRIL: Fix LTE support"

Which was done on 4-5 so I assumed that it was in the 4-5 nightly and gave it a shot.

I started from a fresh slate. I wiped everything, data, cache, dalivik cache, also format /system

I have rebooted multiple times today and data comes up and locks in within 5-10 seconds and is solid from that point on.

I can confirm i have had a solid 3 hours of data i started clean and installed 4-5
[Motorola Droid 4] problematic:
The LTE fix seems to have gone a long way to fix a lot of the problems. When toggling LTE on and off it doesn't seem nearly as glitchy. It's still hard to tell if it's functioning 100% because on boot it doesn't connect right away, and I saw it sit on 3g for awhile after toggling it on one of the times until I switched it off and on again.

On 3-25 I was seeing an error where data would die out instead of going to 3g with LTE toggled off, but would work again with it toggled back on. (I ended up needing to leave LTE on most of the time with this build even though I'd rather leave my phone on 3g until I have a need for LTE in order to conserve battery). I have yet to see any of the prior bugs on the new revision. Crossing my fingers and hoping it's squashed.
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
i flashed the latest one earlier, data worked most of the day, then it just went to gray bars after 6 hours of use

Any idea when Chrome Beta will work for this ROM?
[Motorola Droid 4] cron666:
just did a clean flash of the 4-12 build and its great so far. took care of the keyboard backlight problem as far as i can tell.

also you CAN wake the device from a keyboard open + screen off state.

press W E S D all at the same time and it wakes.

there is another key combo on the right but im not sure which one it is.

i found WESD by smearing my finger across the keyboard. i do not know what physical wear this may induce on the keyboard so I do not reccomend it.

just look for group of 4 keys arranged in a square and press them firmly.

ill go and restore my apps from titanium and see what happens.

i heard not to restore system apps or settings even between nightlies!

so i only backed up my installed apps and data

also using the 3-17 gapps. it still wants to update gmail but has the play store at least :)

[Motorola Droid 4] Zuofu:
I'm using the 4/7 build. I've noticed that once the phone switches to GSM switching it back to CDMA or CDMA/LTE causes problems. The only way to get 3G/4G data back for me is to wipe cache.

However, the data is generally stable unless you switch it to GSM mode or it automatically switches to GSM mode (which I think it does if there is no reception with either 3G or 4G) e.g. in a basement.

I went to 4/7 from a way old (early march) build, where the 4G reception was much worse - it would drop out if it had less than 2 bars. Now it is generally stable except for the GSM issue I mentioned above. It seems that if someone were to disable the GSM option and prevent it from automatically trying to get GSM if it has no CDMA/LTE it would be fine near 100% of the time.
[Motorola Droid 4] Coolaaron88:
So I tested it out all of yesterday and the data connectivity issue is still there. It wont stay connected to 3G/4G and sometimes a reboot isn't enough to bring it back. Its even worse when you want to resume data after airplane mode or even after turning off WiFi. I wish this issue would be put to rest. Outside of that I love the ROM. This issue is the only one that has me always going back to Gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid 4] Briteyez83:
I go back to Gingerbread if im not at home where im on WIFI. Its a pain in the ass but with safestrap it makes doing swapping back and forth easy.
[Motorola Droid 4] Coolaaron88:
Thats true, hopefully it gets fixed soon though. I will have to keep that in mind haha
