no go for me :( cant test receiving but tried to send one to myself and it just hangs at sending. tried the apn backup and restore app and downloaded apn file for sprint even with that still a no go for me
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hmmmmm I think I can try sending.

Can you try receiving at some point? Sounds like that is working, and that is where I run into issues.

Thanks guys. Feel free to report any other issues you experience.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] noXcape:
I tried both sending and receiving :(

New build on the way...

Testing some potential fixes for MMS and the LTE service bar issue.

Trying to put in changes by small increments, in case something is broken horribly by these attempts to fix! Please bear with me until a solution is discovered.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wintrxtrem:
I too use google voice so I can't really help with MMS, but I did discover something pretty sweet today regarding bluetooth audio. I'm 99% sure that the apt-x codec is being used. I tested 2 .flac files with an apt-x compatible Sennhesier headset and there's no way the audio can be this clear without apt-x. Music over a regular bluetooth A2DP sounds pretty crappy by most standards.

I'm fairly certain the file making this possible is "libbt-aptx-4.0.4.so", which I searched for and found in root explorer. Anyway, I've read a lot of people with other phones going to an AOSP ROM and they lose the high quality audio, so I was pretty surprised it works in our CM10.1 because I could find no verification that any AOSP ROMs have apt-x.

More info on apt-x: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apt-X
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gabestover:
Fwiw, I tired Skrilax_CZ's first cm10.1 cdma nightly and I can send MMS (w/ wifi off) just fine. Oddly, though, I can't receive on that rom. I get the message but it won't download.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
When it goes up I'll flash it and shoot a logcat your way with a MMS attempt.

On 4/29 build.

V/TransactionSettings( 6064): APN setting: MMSC: null looked for: current IS NOT NULL AND apn=?

V/TransactionService( 6064): empty MMSC url, bail

I'll PM you the section of the log where I tried to send a message, but it looks to be an APN issue?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Whew, my head is spinning.

So I just rolled a build, and it sends the message but I get a force close. Trying to narrow down that right now...

You're saying you can send MMS from his build, no FC with the stock app - no issues? Sweet! This might help me figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong.

Also, you guys have confirmed you can receive MMS on mine? Or is that a no? Receiving is where I am going to need some help troubleshooting for sure.

Well, I have a new build. This is odd tho for sure, I need to check if this shows up in my latest...

I was hoping to resolve sending completely before posting it, but it seems I can send from it as I stated above ^^.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
I just had somebody send me one, when I went to open it the system dropped me at a "New Message" screen. The MMS seems to be gone? This was with the sms window in foreground.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gabestover:
Another very weird thing - I was able to send with no FC from stock earlier, would receive MMS notifications & stuck at "downloading" like I mentioned earlier. I went to go get a logcat of doing the same... and now it FC's, but still sends the message.

I was able to receive / download MMS's with your 4/29 build, stock app, but couldn't send. This is some crazy stuff for sure. I'll try flashing the newest build and see what happens - thanks!

Edit: oops, thought you had your new build posted.

Edit 2: Flashing now; will test MMS
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Howdy folks!!!!

I just tested my latest creation and guess what - sending MMS worked, no force close. I also made a change (recommended by epinter) to fix in-call speakerphone - and it works!!

So you guys have to let me know how MMS reception is. If it is good, I think we have a great build here!!!

Edit - posted (see the first three posts) :cool:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I find almost all of my MMS issues in CM10/10.1 were resolved by updating my PRL and/or Profile. Not saying that is the case on these builds but it could be worth a shot. I remember on the Epic (just a few months ago) you had to have a dualboot FC09 rom to activate service and update PRL/Profile and then you could switch back over to the CM roms and MMS messaging would be good to go.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Interesting... Well, perhaps if sending works and you have issues receiving try this.

I assume you have to flash stock, update everything, then go back to CM... you seem to indicate this, but I want to make sure everyone has it clear if they want to attempt it :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Im fixing to flash this rom but should I be on JB soak test or will it work ok with Twisted Asanti?

TIA
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Honestly do not know. Please feel free to try and flash from any ROM, be sure to factory wipe tho.

Just be wary of the buglist - there's a caveat about GPS. I never had an issue, and others haven't either... but some said it doesn't work, so FYI.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] nwo122383:
mms seems to work now! this is awesome the messaging app force closes but it still sends and i was able to recieve
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Really... hmmmm I didn't get the FC on the last one I sent, after a fresh install.

I did at first, but then did not. Bleck! I will look into it. So close!!

Can you try rebooting and send again?

Also, on another topic... Can you guys test multi-page SMS messages?

I found this 'multipart' SMS commit on d2spr, wondering if we need it.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/b0c79bff9b2aea1c77aa5d4019898a41ff65cca0

Edit - just tested another mms, got another FC. Hmmmmmm I'm still missing something! Someone said the callback is failing. I need to look into this more.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] noXcape:
I was able to send and receive with no force close... thanks a ton for getting this to a dd... this photon q is bangin

Edit: got a fc but bit definitely still sends

Sent from my XT897C using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
SWEET!!

So the FC is intermittent, and can be ignored. I will look into why the hell it happens at all.

Please let me know what else you experience... and don't forget to hit that thanks button!

:cool:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gabestover:
FC is definitely intermittent for me, too. But besides that tiny problem, great success! I can send/receive MMS (even mult-part - attach -> slideshow). I tried first while not connected to wifi, and retried while connected - both work great. Thank you so much!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Awesome, thank you.

Can you test a 'long' SMS message too? Something over 160 characters, so it has to break into multiple messages...

Perhaps try sending & receiving one of those types of SMS' if you could. I'm curious if I need the above linked commit or not.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] nwo122383:
Will test now

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 AM ----------

It automatically splits the sms over 160 characters I typed a long random message and it split it into 3 messages
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Alright, if it worked correctly then I will leave that patch out. I don't want to just put crap in because it sounds good, I only want to put in stuff that is needed!!

Thanks so much for helping with the testing guys. Keep the feedback coming! I'm testing a fix for the MMS FC now... but I'm still not sure where to go with it exactly. Fortunately it is cosmetic!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gabestover:
I tested a 5-part SMS and it split it correctly as well, into 5 separate SMS. Awesome!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You both have been thanked. I appreciate the testing efforts!!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gabestover:
Well we certainly couldn't have done it without you (well, and all the other devs that helped along the way, too). It's honestly just so nice to have CM10.1 on my phone with mostly everything working right. Happy to test anything else that I can.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
MMS capture photo

If I hit the little paperclip and select "Capture Picture", Gallery will force close before it'll insert the photo into the MMS. I'll provide logcat data if need be but I've replicated it twice. Could just be me though :P

Sent a MMS just fine though :D
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
No dirty flashes right? I've done this many many times, I never get a FC here. I only get an FC after picking the image and clicking 'Send'.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
No sir, went from JB soak to TWRP, formatted all data except for external SD. Then did a factory reset, installed CM10.1, gapps, wiped dalvik and cache, booted.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Ok, good.

Just to be clear on the scenario - click messaging. New Message. Add user. Type text. Click paperclip. Select 'Capture Picture' (not video or anything else) and you get a FC?

For me, it brings up the camera interface... First reboot and try again. Still failing, please send me a logcat yes :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
Take a photo and hit the little check mark. Sorry, I kinda left that important step out. PM for partial logcat.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wintrxtrem:
Finally got my GPS working by flashing and booting into twisted_asanti, getting a GPS lock with the gps status app, then rebooting into recovery from there and [clean] flashing latest CM10.1 build.

LTE status indicator is still borked, btw. Everything else seems to be working quite well, the rom flies. This phone keeps getting better and better:)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Interesting, this worked for me previously as well. I will try again to recreate it....

Cool, glad to hear GPS is working now. LTE signal bars is still known, thanks for the update tho - working on it with solitarywarrior.

On another note, went on IRC and got some help in the dev chat for CM. This commit causes the FC. Reverting it fixes the problem, but we want to see if we can fix it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] KitsunePaws:
A little off topic, any idea what this is about?

I/ServiceManager( 334): Waiting for service AtCmdFwd...

I/ServiceManager( 334): Waiting for service AtCmdFwd...

I/ServiceManager( 334): Waiting for service AtCmdFwd...

I find no mention of that in services.jar.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
It's some service that supposedly forwards AT (modem) commands. Forwards them where, I do not know.

nadlabak I believe ran without this service for a week, and said there was no adverse affects. It might get pulled at some point...

I heard some GS4 folks talking about it on their devices as well.

Back to your FC - just FYI to everyone else, if you enable HDR on your pictures for MMS, it will cause a force close. Disable HDR, and you should be able to capture a pic for MMS no problem!

I'm also working on that outbound FC. I have it solved, but not in an ideal way. Trying to fix it in a more futureproof manner :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
hey yall. i wiped my cache from CWM, flashed this over twisted asanti after a factory reset... then i flashed the gapps from the first post.... and its not taking the google apps. keeps saying they are not installed. do i need to wipe the cache after doing the cm10.1 flash?

basically, my g apps from OP are not installing even though they say they are installing in cwm without error. anyone else have this problem?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I guess factory wipe after gapps?

So boot back to recovery, factory wipe, install gapps. I don't think I did it in this order, see the first post for my install process.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hey guys,

If the FC on outbound MMS really bothers you, here is a modified Mms.apk, with that commit reverted.

I'm really hoping to resolve the issue in an official manner that tracks upstream, instead of just reverting the commit and having to deal with it over and over.

So I am going to wait a bit before doing a new build. This is just a cosmetic thing, but if you send a lot of MMS', I could imagine it's annoying. So replace the existing Mms.apk in /system/app. You will need to remount system rw - there are a lot of ways to do this, I won't go over them here.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
i just did that and i dont think it fixed it. im still missing the gapps. any chance it has to do with the particular gapps file? ill try one more time.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Are you always using the same downloaded file? There's a few mirrors. Make sure you have a good download...

I don't know why it wouldn't work... I use TWRP, but it should work in any recovery (after all I state that in the OP :cowboy:)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
I flashed just last night and it looks great. I came from twisted asanti (ICS) and have GPS and text messaging working. No force closes yet. Today i will give it a full work out and let you know how things go. Thanks for the work:good:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Do you have google apps? I did the same thing (allegedly) and I can't get google apps to install.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Try these maybe?

http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/

Only use 4.2.2 tho... It should be the same file to be honest.

Not sure why you are having issues still. Did you take my suggestion of downloading gapps again? Maybe using a different mirror?

I can also provide md5sum hashchecks of everything if you want.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
Booted into recovery (CWM), backed up to ext sd card, did data/factory reset, flashed cm 10.1, flashed gapps, data/factory reset and rebooted. Google apps works fine
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I still can't get gapps to install/stick. Came from twisted asanti to CM10.1 Last night I wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, then flashed cm 10.1 again, then wiped cache, wiped data, wiped dalvik, then flashed gapps from OP, then wiped data/cache/dalvik again, then rebooted, and.... no gapps.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Are you ignoring my posts?

I've suggested downloading the gapps package again. I've provided several mirrors and even other sites where you can get the downloads.

I even offered to provide md5sums so you can check that the download is good...

I'm not sure what else I can do for you buddy.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I'm at work so I won't have a chance to try again until later today. Im going to go ahead and download the file to get it ready. I'm afraid its something to do with coming from twisted asanti to CM10.1 not totally clean (cache/data/dalvik) even though I thought I did. Maybe I should flash JB soak test and then CM10.1 and then gapps.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Worth a shot, but as you know others have come from Twisted Asanti, and are just fine.

Regardless of what ROM you're coming from, gapps should flash fine. Perhaps you can get me a logfile from CWM? I'm not sure how that works, in TWRP there's a /tmp/recovery.log file created.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Ok yall.

I wiped data. I installed Asanti C. Google apps were there. I wiped data. I installed CM10.1 and (a new, fresh, mirrored) JB gapps. Google apps are still not there.

So they are there on Asanti C but between Asanti C, CM10.1, and gapps... gapps don't stick.

I think I should flash the JB soak and see if I get gapps with that and hopefully they transfer over to my CM10.1 JB...

Other than that.... the app was great until I noticed my Google apps weren't there.

Could this have something to do with the fact that my phone was previously bricked and restored with RSD lite as opposed to other methods??
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I've never "bricked" my device, and it sounds like you haven't either (soft brick I wouldn't count as a brick..)

I have used RSD Lite before, no problems.

Gapps should have nothing to do with the ROM you were running previously, but you can certainly try flashing the JB soak as an option.

You are literally the only person to have this issue. When you say wipe data, are you doing a factory reset? Or are you formatting /data?

Also, are you mounting system? I would think the gapps zip would do it for you, but perhaps it's not on CWM? Again, I use TWRP... while this should work on any recovery, I've only used TWRP to flash this.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] nwo122383:
For the gapps I don't think it comes with apps like gmail, maps, and things that other gapps packages used to. It provides the necessary framework apps and a few others, but the apps that can be downloaded off the android market are not included. Just open the update and look insided the system app folder.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
............................................ this was it ......................

but it was weird cuz at first it was saying things like 'Gallery is not installed', plus my Navigation wasn't there, i was like awww ****........

sorry yall. to answer the question i am using cwm and i just do the data wipe on the main menu
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So you had gapps all along?

Here's a way to test. Do you have the Play Store, and can you add a Google account. If you can't do these two things, you don't have gapps. If you can...... you do.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wintrxtrem:
Does anyone else still have the high pitch sound in the earpiece during calls? (I still do)

What's the difference between these builds and the skrilax cdma nightlies?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
.................................................................... i have them.............................................................................

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

Yes the high pitch is still there. I dont know the deal on the nightlies, I am sure these roms will be updated and when a clear parth forward emerges I will start getting the nightlies I held off for a while since the phone is my DD but this build seems stable enough and easy enough to install thanks to the OP.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
Does someone have a copy of the sprint voicemail app that I can add back to this rom? This rom is running great by the way
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I would like to know the same thing and would also like my stock sound package as well as the CM sound package. Any idea how to get these ported over?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Just pull them out of the stock rom and stick them into the cm10.1 zip before you flash it, or push the files into the right locations.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hey guys,

Building right now with that MMS commit reverted... it will have to do in the short term. Will fix the FC on outbound MMS.

Also, the razrqcom team have fixed the panel issue where you get static 'garbage' on the screen for a few milliseconds when it powers on - there is a patch in the kernel for this. I haven't tested it, but hopefully this bug is fixed as well!

Edit - build is tested and up. Panel issues where there's that bit of garbage seems gone, and MMS does not seem to produce any FC on sending. Enjoy!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gabestover:
I'm getting a strange problem with both this build (5/1) and the previous (4/30). It could've been in earlier builds, but I didn't test. The phone doesn't seem to have any usb connectivity when hooked up to a computer. It doesn't charge at all, nor does it show a usb connection (of any kind) on the phone. Windows just says that it was unable to detect the device, or something similar. Tried flashing the two cdma builds from Skrilax_CZ and neither have the problem (but MMS is still messed up on those for me). This could just be my problem, as I've dirty flashed the past few builds, but I wanted to check before backing up & wiping everything.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I've had other people report issues with USB - and my work laptop has had issues, but my personal laptop have no issues.

That's really weird regardless. If it doesn't happen on the other builds I can compare what is different... why the heck it is not consistent, or even exists at all is strange.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dwaynet89:
The same has been happening to me also with my laptop recognizing my phone even with clean flash but a reboot clears it up fine. Last build mms worked fine. Have not had a chance to try on the latest build.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Could it be related to having the Motorola Device Manager installed? That's the first thing that comes to mind. Though why it only occurs on some builds, who knows...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gabestover:
Ooh, interesting idea. I do have it installed. Will uninstall and try again when I'm at my computer.

Update: Uninstalled Motorola Device Manager & still a no-go. Tried two different cables & 2 different ports just in case. No charging & get a "USB device not recognized" message again.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Yea, good point indeed... I think I have it installed on both, but work PC is Win7, personal is Win8. I'll have to check that out on my work PC.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cmattern:
Well this looks to be related to a topic that I have wanted to bring up when I had time to try to address it. Due to spending a LOT of time commuting I listen to books via Overdrive media player routed through my car stereo using my Motorola car dock. Since loading this ROM my audio has ceased routing through the USB port in the dock. I may not be the best guy for working this and don't want to be an impediment but would be happy to take a swipe at it unless someone else here wants to go for it (and I have plenty at work to keep me busy so if someone wants this feel free to speak up, I will not have any hurt feelings).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
If you find anything, by all means let me know.

I will try to triage, but I can't seem to recreate the issue on my personal PC. Perhaps the failure to function on my work PC is a blessing in disguise, as it at least gives me a way to recreate it.

I've heard a few things now - reboots resolve it, and the builds from Skrilax_CZ don't exhibit this behavior.

I'm going to try and confirm these things as well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
will Sprint VVM app from other phones work on this phone?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gtownswagga:
I just installed a sprint vvm apk that was made for cm10. Just pushed it to system app. Got it from google. It works great. Just google "sprint voicemail apk" its like 6 or 7th link
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Aaargh!:
What are the steps to "push it to system app". Thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
ES File Explorer has always done a good job for me when it came to installing and uninstalling system apps, if that's what should be done with that apk. I use Google voice for my VM, so I'm not exactly an authority when it comes to regular visual voicemail.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I am also running into the PC not recognizing the device for file transfers, or, whatever. I went to the PC device manager and this is what it says on the particular USB port:

I can hear the audio cue of the computer recognizing the phone is plugged in then a few seconds later it makes the noise of disconnection. So it reads it for a second, then it rejects it basically. In the meantime I can't get the motorola device manager ap to pull up and I can't get de-bugging mode to show the phone on the PC either. Nor if I unmount the SD card.

I will try later on my home PC and see if there is a difference. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Did you try uninstalling the moto device manager?

I'm not sure why, but my work PC doesn't recognize the phone for ADB anymore. However, it continues to fail in TWRP. When I enable USB Mass Storage mode in TWRP, that showed up correctly...

So there's something up with my work PC. My personal laptop works great for both - adb, etc. Whether in TWRP or Android.
