random shutdowns

I have been running this CM10 rom for a while and now whenever my battery gets below around 50% I get random shutdowns(without shutdown screen) and it will not turn back on. Sometimes it will turn back on after a battery pull but other times I just have to leave it on the wall charger for a while. Is anyone else having this problem or is my phone just dieing? I didnt have this problem with the old launcher or CM9 but who knows.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Might be that the battery indicator is off. I have this all the time. It says 50% but it's 10% or it says 1% while it's 40% etc etc..

I hope hash will release a new version soon that fixes the bugs so it's fully working except for camera :crying:
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
I hope for the camera as well but at this point I feel our chances of getting the camera are slim to none. Which is a shame because I love this rom been using chrome on it, and got it to where it is almost as usable as dolphin is. Only thing driving me nuts is the proximity issues I run into when I receive a phone call, I have to lock the screen because the screen will go crazy during a call. Good thing with the new safestrap only takes a few minutes to swap back to the rom I have with the working camera on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I agree.. I messaged him on twitter with all the feedback and whether there was any news but no reply :crying:
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
I'm just curious but, did he just bail on us? lol
[Motorola Droid 3] pgzerwer:
I hesitate to speak on behalf of Hashcode, but if I were a developer the one thing that would most likely prompt me to abandon a project would be having people questioning my commitment any time I failed to immediately respond to every request. Give Hash a break folks!
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
I agree. I'm just such an impatient person, I apologize ;)

I just don't want to bear another second with the Motorola's Gingerbread haha, I end up making a hole on a wall every time I use it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I also think that I haven't seen any tweets from him lately, but....

It is holiday season...this is a busy time. And he does have a life other than dev-ing all these devices for us. I'm sure he's just busy with life :)

But about CM10...does any one notice that when fully charging with USB connected to a computer, the battery indicator stays at fully charged until a reboot? Not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm using the circle battery indicator and have found this to happen multiple times. But it does not do this when I charge with the USB cable connected to the wall charger thingy...yes, wall charger thingy. that's a technical term ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] iamz3r0:
There's been some crazy things happening with the battery indicator. Mine sometimes reads that its on the charger when it isn't or 15% battery when my GB ROM and safestrap say its at 40-50%. I've also had my phone "die" then instantly charge to 50%.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
lol...yeah, I get some really weird **** when I switch ROMs. Whatever my phone is at, it will usually go down to 1% when I switch ROMs, even though SS says my battery was 50 - 70%. Then my phone just stays at 1% till it dies, because I don't want to overcharge my battery and kill it. Oh, well....it's still better than using GB :)
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Unless you are using bad charging equipment, you cannot overcharge your battery and damage it. This is a fallacy for the Li-ion batteries used in current devices. It's probably healthier to get many small "top-up" charges than constantly draining and fully recharging a battery.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Thanks for the info. I did not know that. I always thought it was better to let a battery complete deplete itself and then charge to full rather than to keep constantly charging it before it's dead
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Correct.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
With older nickel based batteries this was true. With lithium based batteries it does not matter as there is no memory effect like there was in nickel based batteries. In fact, letting a lithium based battery's voltage fall too low can permanently damage it. But the device will shut off long before the battery gets near this dangerous threshold voltage.

What I don't get about these ROMs with battery issues is the fact that the voltage reading is correct yet the percentage readings are all over the place. I always thought the percentage readings were simply an algorithm that used voltage to approximate the percentage left.

fresh working build

Building on the work of the great Hashcode, I just managed to piece together a fresh build of AOKP for the Droid 3.

I got tired of hearing all the "when will ______ work?" and "what about an update!?". You guys have no idea how hard Hash and dhacker have worked to get to this point. Seriously, consider donating to them.

I'm just testing the preliminary build right now, wifi seems more stable and the overall experience is generally snappier, but I might just be delirious from lack of sleep and watching compilers for hours on end. Sadly, still no working camera or sensors, but we will keep fighting the good fight.

Need testers! Let me know if there's interest. I'll post it publicly after getting some feedback.

This is a Hashcode-approved update, managed to chat with him for a few minutes. He's an awesome dude.

Seriously though. Donate to him.

Donate. Do it.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Thanks. I will try the build.

If it's any help, I posted all problems I came across with CM10 1103 after 3 weeks of usage:

fresh build with sensor fix

It seems like I underestimated the demand for a fresh AOKP build. I should've known everyone else is a flash addict just like me.

That being said, below is a link for an EXTREMELY TEST December 7 build of AOKP. It includes fresh repo pulls, very minor adjustments, and most importantly, the sensor fix (HUGE THANKS TO JARVESON!) released this morning.

I've been using fresh compiles as my daily now for about 2 days, a lot of the same issues from Nov4 apply (camera, etc). For some reason gtalk refuses to work but I don't use it on my phone, so I just disable it for now through the app manager. A third party app may work, I don't know.

However, it DOES seem faster than Nov4, with better battery life and wifi connectivity. I have not had tons of time to test it personally, so I recommend flashing this into a secondary ROM slot. And the sensors work! Yay for not pressing the screen with my face and ear!

All the thanks should go to the Great Moto King Hashcode, dhacker, Jarveson, jonpry, etc etc. I'm just the guy that's good with the digital duct tape. Donate to them!

I'm going to assume we're all big boys and girls here and know how to make romslots and flash roms. Enjoy everyone! Let me know how it works for you. I am not responsible for anything you do to your device, and neither is Hashcode. Flash with care!

I have been using the latest cm10 build by hash, and just wanted to know if anyone else has been running into issues receiving text messages? Seems like it happens to me only on the cm10 build, I switch back to my cm9 build that still has a camera working on it and I have no issues with it. Also been having issues with random reboots on both versions.
[Motorola Droid 3] Kur@:
Therefore Hash do not posted this version for a general testing, but only to his testers in order to they have found out such problems which could be easy to fix and soon He will distribute a version for beta test.

Does data work xt860? I couldn't make it work with last hash release

Enviado desde mi XT860
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
As far as I tested, not quite. It gets disconnected all the time.

I'm also trying to figure out what is going on.
[Motorola Droid 3] acwest:
Something worth noting, I am using a stock rooted XT860, and my data gets disconnected all the time too. Generally if I switch to airplane mode and back it clears up. It is possible that this is not actually a kexec issue...
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
I am using a Brazilian stock rooted one.

The problem is that when it starts connect, it drops the connection. On logcat, only shows the DISCONNECTED message.

For testing purposes, on Gummy 0.90 after minor adjustments, it works.

I'll keep looking on this.

Yep, same thing with xt860 in argentina. Never happened to me with gb roms.

Thanks, sylentprofet for putting this build up. All that is to be working seems to be working well for me. This pink unicorn ROM is great! There is definitely a noticable speed increase. I haven't had any lag in this ROM yet, but I haven't done too much with it. Just initial setup and loading apps, etc. No hang ups or random reboots :) I think that I prefer CM to AOKP though; but I am happy to try new ROMs. I'm just more used to the setup on CM, I guess. I am looking forward to these updates in Hash's next CM release because it feels like significant improvement in performance. My 3G was having some issues working at first, but was fine after a reboot. Thanks again for this ROM!
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Okay, the only thing I'm having problems with is the Performance option under Tools in the ROM Control section of the settings. It crashes when I try to go into it. I'm guessing that's where I set the CPU, etc

Is there a bash script that will automatically download/compile/package rom either the cy or aopk package from git? I would like to build daily droid3 images.
[Motorola Droid 3] sylentprofet:
that wouldn't be hard to do, but it would presume that you have a proper android build environment already in place. all the necessary packages/jdk installed etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] amedeh123:
Here are the instructions/dependencies for setting up the evironment on Ubuntu: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

i would recommend installing the repo bin in /bin instead of your home/bin directory, so you dont have to set the $path every time

i did check CM page instead for dependencies but it doesnt appear to be up anymore, but i got it working on a 64-bit 12.04.1 LTS (virtual machine) despite the "lack of support"

for downloading and building it, you can check Hash's manifest on github for details and you can check this http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/ for changes on CM that may interest you, bugs are fixed and features are added

but i dont have any scripts tho, i fire the VM up every time i want to build it, share it if you happen to make one ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] PEZ Dispenser:
Woah woah woah woah woah!

Wait a minute here. I know this might not be the right thread for this but maybe can someone point me in that direction or just hear me out and maybe have a quick answer for me.

I'm on Safestrap v3.05 but I have just been using stock rooted GB on the safe partition for a while.

I decided I would like to go back and have some ICS or JB fun but safestrap will not go into it's menu any longer. I press the menu button during the safestrap splash screen and all it just spits me right back into my GB safe system.

WTH?

Edit: Can I just reinstall Safestrap?

Found a work around by holding power and M.

Is there a newer version of safestrap that might have this problem fixed?
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
No for now thats the way it is. Hopefully we will have something soon though.
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
I have ran into that issue myself using the ICS and minimist rom which is GB as well. I have to use power+m for the minimist rom and I setup a shortcut via rom toolbox pro to boot into recovery. Hope that helps you some.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
As far as I know, Safestrap 3.0.5 is the latest. Yes, powering up the phone while holding "M", sliding the keyboard closed while using VolDn to highlight "Start BP Tools" and using VolUp to select that option should get you around Safestrap not starting the normal way.

Safestrap 3.0.5 is still listed as a beta version on Hashcode's site.

[Motorola Droid 3] drakull:
Man... I feel down every time I look at my XT860. Being stuck with the stock ROM (or it's mods) is killing me. I use the camera a lot and I watch at least one video everyday during my lunch break so I can't really install ICS or JB ROMs since hardware codecs are either absent or faulty.

I've been waiting for the last 7 months or so in hope that Hashcode manages to fix current problems and present us with a fully working 4.X ROM but I don't see it happening in the near future. I know he's doing his best working on this already outdated piece of hardware, but I simply cant stand android 2.3 anymore.

I guess it's time for me to go and buy another smartphone. Damn Motorola... this is the first and last device I bought from you.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
For what it's worth, I think people mentioned HW codecs working in the last build from here.

But ye, I also need camera.

You may check out minomoto if you haven't.

With hololauncher or your favorite launcher and some small changes it doesn't look that bad compared to JB. I do miss the CM features and general feel..but at least minimoto is fast and stable ;)

Update:

Working on 4.2.1. Right now I'm troubleshooting a blank screen boot (always fun), hopefully it's missing libs, etc.

[11:58pm] Missing PVR libs, added.

[11:59pm] Still black screen boot.

[12:10am] Gralloc lib needs renaming when it goes into the build. Fixed.

[12:11am] Boot animation / Setup screen

[01:40am] Cleaned up a few bits and pieces but the build is usable as a test ROM.

Not working:

- Bluetooth

- Camera

- GPS

- Internal SD mount

Working:

- Wifi

- HD Codecs

Testing:

- Phone needs testing as my TMo card ran out. We removed all of the special toggles in the Settings so you'll need build.prop edits again on GSM / non-VZW CDMA carriers.

I'm falling asleep, but I'll start an upload of the current build. Should be done uploading by 2:15am PST, and it'll end up here:

Anyway, thanks for the help.

On topic: Surelly it would be more boring, but wouldn't it be more productive if hashcode focused on a single release instead of working with CM9/CM10/AOKP, JB/ICS?

[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
Ah, thanks. Was just creating new rom-slot2 for it. Saved me!
[Motorola Droid 3] Kur@:
I think that it will be necessary to be able to copy or move the ROM-slot1 to ROM-slot2 or 3, 4, for those users who have installed basic OS in ROM-slot1.
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
I don't know if this is advisable or not but I just made a backup of slot 1 and then restored it on a newly created slot 2 of the same size.

It seemed like everything was still working, no FC's or anything. The more I do the more I marvel at Safestrap!
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:

[Motorola Droid 3] keithk23:
Outgoing calls on VZW confirmed functional (no FC on other party disconnecting first). Data works as well. I did notice no voicemail notifications though. Also, MMS still reporting "invalid destination".

I don't know if my stock system is ready for a wipe, but I've been getting annoyed with performance. CM10.1 seems QUICK!! Camera, bluetooth, GPS and stock MMS (GoSMS resolvs previous CM10 MMS issues) are all nice to have, but certainly a great step forward.

HASH YOU ROCK!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
I'm a GSM user also, and no luck here.

Maybe we are missing something, or maybe the library that we are using is too outdated. The problem is to find a newer one.
[Motorola Droid 3] Caldair:
Those are my thoughts exactly. I want to find another Motorola device with the same radio feature set (world phone) that is either stock ICS/JB or has had an official update to either and see if I can find a libmoto_ril.so from said device to try to swap out. Just haven't had time yet (too busy playing with the new official JB release for my Tab2)

I will report if I have ANY success with data connections.:fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Maybe... Maybe it is the key... Any of the RAZR would do? Or maybe Droid 4?

I saw that the chipset of the RAZR could be the same as the one from Droid 3, and maybe I'm wrong. During the weekend I'll try with the libmoto_ril.so from Droid 4/RAZR. I think they use the same library, they have the same size for both.
