[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] turbo180:
I know, but I hope to fix some more issues (possibly also unknown yet) than gps with official JB update before cm10.1 flash. E.g. manual network selection which works on stock JB OTA and didn't work for me in cm10.1. Could someone please confirm if it works in cm10.1 flashed over the stock JB update?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
It seems it doesn't work for me, too. I don't get a list of networks after a very long search time.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
Any information why the lastest build is 1.5MiB smaller than the one from yesterday?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Duplicated ringtones and notifications were removed. Could be that.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Armadill0:
strange storage mount behaviours

That sounds logical.

Some posts ago I wrote about the strange behaviour of the usbdisk mounts in /storage. Can anyone confirm this?

Today I had another strange behaviour. It seems the internal storage is mounted to /storage/emulated/0. But there also is a /storage/emulated/legacy which includes the same data from the internal storage. Additional to this there is a directory "0" in /storage/emulated/0 which seems to be a mount for the external sdcard storage.:eek:

I think this is a very strange behaviour. In the stock Rom there only was the internal an the external storage. On CM10 we had /storage/sdcard0 for the internal and /storage/sdcard1 for the external sd card storage, which was also ok. But the "concept" from CM10.1 which I described above seems very strange and unlogacal to me. Can this be fixed?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
I heard the incremental folder name 0, 1, 2, ... is due to the introduction of multiple profile functionality of CM10.1

Hmm.. do we have to move all the contents from root to 0 then?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I'm on the 8/5 build, and having similar freezing problems. I usually notice on the drive while using the car dock, ad tasker automatically launching gps essentials (a dashboard app). the gps will freeze up even after restarting. usually everything else works though other thann sometimez firefox and chrome freeze as well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sly123:
In the end I went back to the original firmware.. :(

My photon always freezed in landscape mode sooner or later, no matter what application I used.

For me this CM is unusable because every advantage of the phone is lost with this bug.

If it is fixed I will gladly return to CM but now its useless(for me).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Solust:
The most stable version I've been on is the 07/01 build for CDMA. I haven't moved from it because everything I need working works. I'm sure there are things that don't work (here's the changelog) but people might want to give it a try.

Would it be possible to get some marked as "Stable" releases and have them kept on the server?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I don't think any of them can be considered "stable", so this is not feasible.

However, the latter versions are usually on the side of "more" stable rather than "less".

With that said, we are definitely approaching what could be considered a 'stable' version. Of course, everyone has their own priorities - so what some consider stable is not for others.

Good luck.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Solust:
I just look at what days don't have activity in this thread to determine which builds are "stable". For instance July 14 - 16 had no posts so they were probably "stable" builds and if I felt the need to update it would probably be one of those. Unfortunately I don't think there has really been a day in August that anyone hasn't reported issues.

I kind of wish I had kept/downloaded some of those builds so I could maintain a "stable" CDMA collection somewhere.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
I've been having the same landscape freezing issues with the 8/16 build. Usually it gets so bad I have to hard reboot using the volume down/power buttons.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
I'm also using 8/16 build. I don't have landscape freezing issue. Is it in gaming or else?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Loader009:
Just press the 'home' button and wait.

After some time of freezing it goes back to home and isn't frozen anymore (at least not for the next few seconds).

You don't have to hard reset or something.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Seems mostly to be triggered by steaming video and gaming.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
I did gaming a lot and never had freezing issue. I played Asphalt 7,Virtua Tennis,Crazy Taxi,Real Basketball,Train Crisis and all run fine without glitches. I'll try streaming videos. Haven't done it lately. :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Seems to be specifically streaming in-browser.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
It freezes for me using the internet and GPS in dock mode (landscape - havent tried portrait mode docked) nothing to do with gaming or streaming video or music
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
I've dropped building nightlies for cm-10.1 (dropped support for the devices).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ---UFO---:
So there won't be any more changes in cm 10.1? Should we consider today's nightly as stable build?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Not very much and don't consider today's build as stable (stable builds will probably not be for CM10.1, but start with CM10.2).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Does one have to do a factory reset when switching from cm10.1 to 10.2?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
I guess no. You can always do it afterwards if it fails to boot/work.

When I switched to 10.2 a few weeks ago it worked fine without data wipe. If you get FCs for only some apps wipe data for those only or, if that fails, try to reinstall them (if user apps).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Al936:
I switched to 10.2 from 10.1 (21/8 build) several hours ago without data wipe - did dalvic cache and cache wipe only. At first view all works fine. However I just found phone very hot and battery was about 0. After switching to 10.2 phone was not used at all - it lay on the table during 5 hours. Not sure what is the problem, but returning back to 10.1 ...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pir8man:
what is the cardock hack listed in the OP ?

thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
It's for unofficial builds only, and as I understand it the hack prevents a lockup when using the car dock.

If your question is about USB audio, that is not enabled yet. kabaldan talked about fixing it, but that it was quite complex.

Edit - here's one of his posts, which also explains in better detail what the car dock hack does.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Edit - double post?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pir8man:
thank you. I knew it wasnt the audio fix. just curious as to what it was.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I edited my post, and somehow managed to make a doublepost.

Check my edit, and search the thread for his posts - there might be more about USB audio, I couldn't find any off hand.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pir8man:
here is my understanding: the hack sends the audio to the headphone jack while docked. usb audio for 10.1/10.2 is still a ways off.

if anyone needs usb audio tester, i volunteer.

thx again
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Yes, your statement is correct.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Just saw a stable release for XT897c. Will it have storage swapping?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Nope, official builds do not have that change merged. It probably never will for CM10.1.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Too bad they don't merge it. With only 5gb free space won't be enough to store game data. Btw,it's not a stable release. It's an RC actually.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Argh, there is RC for CM-10.1 ... ehm, don't consider it stabler than the nightlies, device tree isn't up to date :P
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
D'oh...

Thanks for maintaining this on CM. Really helps everyone else out.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Yeah..your latest build of CM10.1 is the most stable. Been using it so far with no problem. Only proximity bug occured sometimes.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] discipler:
RC?

I read someone said they were going back to CM10.1 because battery life is better. Do you have any thoughts on this? Also, what's the "RC" on the CM10.1?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hijkl:
RC is Release Candidate
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ---UFO---:
Please, does anyone have a link for older nightly CM10.1 build than 20.7.2013?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ---UFO---:
I'm posting here PM from XDA member motorowner.

Thanks for links.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Actually, epinter is putting newest stuff back to CM10.1 for RCs and stable builds. I will make one final build and that will be for the CM10.1 stable release.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cmattern:
Very much looking forward to Stable. My wife wants the goodies on her PhotonQ but is just not wired mentally for the life of one running nightlies.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ---UFO---:
Is there any way how to build CM10.1 without SElinux support?

I have found out that it is hurting MIUI, so I cannot use newer builds as base.

Thanks for any info.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stunherald:
First of all, thanks Skrilax_CZ, nadlabak and the whole team for the official CM.

Now ... is anyone facing issue with WiFi with the stable CM 10.1.3 STABLE release?

Here is my situation:

- I have WiFi AP, secured by WPA2-PSK (AES), SSID is not hidden, using standard EU channel, no additional AP at the same channel around.

- When i set the connection in PhotonQ for the first time, it will connect to AP immediately and it will stay connected without any issues

- Once turn off/on my wifi, OR move out of the signal (so it will disconnect) and then move back, phone will never connect to the AP anymore. Not even if i switch wifi off/on again. SCAN will discover several another APs arround me, but the mine one will stay as "Not in range"

- To reconnect to my AP i need to "Forget the network" and turn wifi off and on again. Then my AP will popup in the "list" again and i can connect.

- So basically i need to set up my connection every time i want to connect (so like 2-3 times per day)

I checked logcat but there is nothing :(

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance

Stun (CZ)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Set your phone to use a static IP for that network. That should resolve the issue.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stunherald:
2 FinntheViking: Tried that, did not helped. After WiFi stop/start the saved network says "Not in range" :/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Hey there, I also have wifi connection problems with my Q's on ANY CM based custom ROM, which is all of them as far as I know.

The only ROM that connects to my greenpacket AP is stock. Every Q will connect straight away when running stock, but none of them will connect when running custom, regardless of static IP, resetting/modifying AP settings, etc.

There seems to be a compatibility/connectivity issue with CM, which is carried through to every Q custom ROM. I would say that it is only affecting connection to certain AP's (eg my greenpacket), as the same CM ROMs connect to other nearby AP's OK.

Unless someone knows of a ROM that is not built off of CM for me to try?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
You seem to look at it from a wrong angle. There's simply no better open source platform for the developers involved in the low level stuff other than CM (for the bring-up of specific device hardware to run the most recent versions of Android).

Therefore all custom ROMs for the device like Photon Q are derived from CM.

Looking for a custom ROM that is not built off of CM will lead you nowhere (there's none).

The right thing to do is to provide the logs from the Photon Q and also from the specific AP (if possible), so the issue can be analysed and possibly fixed in CM (and thus in all other derived ROMs subsequently).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stunherald:
I'd really like to provide some info, but i cant. Logcat is catching nothing, not a single word. From network infrastructure i have Mikrotik + small WiFi AP which is used only as a bridge between wired and wireless and for WPA2 encryption, no additional routing, etc. DHCP server is on Mikrotik which is taking care also about wireless devices. So here is what i can provide.

- At beginning of this simulation i did not had my network saved in my phone. I enabled wireless and in few seconds i saw my network in the list. I entered WPA2 password and phone immediately got an IP from DHCP server. Debug log is bellow, i don't see any abnormalities. Just for info ... Phone will always get the same IP because it is assigned to PhotonQ MAC address on DHCP server, so no conflicts...

- I turned the Wifi on and off again. There is nothing in DHCP server log, not a single beep. Also packet sniffer did not catch anything, no DHCP request, nothing... Looks like the cellphone is not even trying to connect trying to the saved network.

If you will advice how to "log" this situation on the PhotonQ side, i will be happy to provide the output...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Use adb: "adb logcat" to get real-time output in console.

On device you'll most likely need root access to get full log: "su 0 logcat" or "su <Enter> logcat"

Or pull them all: "adb root <Enter> adb pull /data/logger"
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Kabaldan, I have been trying to resolve this wifi connectivity issue for some time. I have loaded MIUI and various CM builds, plus varied my AP settings in all the ways I can think of to establish a wifi connection.

Reporting the issue on here is how I am highlighting that there is a wifi compatibility problem.

Not everyone has it, it must be some sort of wifi issue relative to certain AP hardware, but as I have pointed out, it is persistent throughout the CM based roms, but not on stock. Naturally, trying (hoping to try) a non-CM based rom helps to isolate the cause.

A stripped/de-bloated version of one of the stock roms would be worth trying if it provides all of the necessary features without breaking connectivity. I've used CM at various times since the G1, through G2's, and on to PQ's, and while it stands out, it hasn't necessarily always been the best choice. In fact, I have found Vision roms suited my requirements better on my G2's, with the stripped stock Sense being the lightest & best.

Like other products, sometimes having the latest features takes precedence over fixing/bulletproofing existing issues/hardware/software. The end result is lots of 90% working products left to others to fix. Until this issue is fixed, it will persist throughout the CM product.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Why don't you simply post all available logs after trying to establish a connection on the offending AP, perhaps play with it a bit? That way the devs will, hopefully, have a solid base to start on. Perhaps someone just might find some time to look at the issue, maybe even fix it some day.

As you, said, only some AP's suffer, I myself have never had problems with wifi, so this is more-less a minor issue in the current state, but without logs "it never happend".
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
This would actually need AOSP build, but from caf. I noticed some wifi issues too (CM-10.2 included), but this looks like to be smth from framework (tested with stock modules & stock kernel in a CM9 test build).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
I've just switched to my spare Q, running CM (+updated), and the wifi is the same. I'll look at logging next time I get some spare time at the AP.

P.s. - does anyone know if the CM SMS ap can be changed to allow 'enter=new line' instead of send? Otherwise I'll need to load GoSMSPro
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Open Settings in Messaging menu. Scroll down to soft keyboard type. Change it to Show the Enter key. Now you can enter new line in messaging by pressing enter key in soft keyboard.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Nice! I see it works when using the hard keyboard too, which is exactly what I wanted. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

Just a quick note to say that I have now resolved the WIFI connectivity with my WiFi AP while running CM Rom (10.2-20131129 by Skrillax).

In a nutshell, after adjusting many settings on my AP (TX power %, Wireless Mode, etc, etc), it is the security mode.

CM don't want to connect when running

WPA-PSK

. Changing to

WPA2-PSK

has fixed it.

I get a 'connecting' notify, then 'saved' if I switch back to WPA-PSK. Just don't know if this is due to the recent build, as I was running CM from around June, previously.

Pretty certain I tried the different security modes before, even

turning security off didn't help

. Manually assigning IP's in the phone also didn't help.

I DID however have the TX power set at 25% when it first connected, but I have reset all settings back to normal/default, & it is still going strong.

You can decide for yourself whether it is better that CM won't connect when using WPA-PSK, for me it has been a pain in the A$$. Stock Rom connected fine on WPA-PSK.

Hope this sheds some light on poss wifi issues for the propeller heads, and other connectivity frustrated individuals. May even help others that suffer dropped connections??
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] aviwdoowks:
Are you going to do a cm 11 build or at least fix one with your default storage chooser?

There is no 4.4 SD swap solution for the msm8960 phones is there?

Thank You.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stunherald:
So, i just flashed to CM 10.2.1 (JB 4.3.1) with clean install (wiped everything) and the WiFi issue still persists. I am using WPA2 so the post from "schmandroid" is not helping. Anyway i was playing with that around and i guess the issue is with the channels and extended channels.

I am using channel 12 and also i am using 20/40 bandwidth where the Extension channel is Chan8. Thing is that a default "america" channel range is 1-11. Europe is using additional channel 12 and 13. Japan has also channel 14.

There is a "WiFi region code" setting which is somehow affecting which channels the android can see. Main issue is that the settings is NOT persistent. I found that time to time the "bullet" disappear and nothing is selected.

I will try to change the channel on my AP tomorrow to see if this will help, anyway i am not so happy to do that since chan12 is the lees used one around me.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stunherald:
Ok so i can confirm that this is a channel issue for sure. I've changed the AP channel to 9 and it is now rock-stable. No matter what i am trying, phone will always connect in a second.

does this rom also work for photon 4g?

if not, is there a similar rom for photon 4g?

thanks.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
It doesn't... But Photon 4G has a CM10.1 ROM already (speaking of this, there is a dedicated subforum for Photon 4G), it's just filled with bugs. You should acknowledge that Photon 4G uses the discontinued Tegra 2 chipset, hence not getting much dev support.

Android should take care of it atomatically. Enable multi user support

In terminal or adb (root reqired):

Check to see how many users is currently supported (probably 1 if you have not modified the settings)

pm get-max-users

then enable multi-user support

setprop fw.max_users number_of_max_user_account (e.g. 2)

Afterwards navigate to Settings->Users

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
About the externel sdcard problems:

Today I connected the q to my windows 7 laptop and tried to copy some videofiles to my 32 GB microsdcard.

I turned on Usb Debug mode to get acess to external card.

Even though I copied the file to the external sd-card (which shows 29 GB free) somehow the files where put on internal memory, which of course ran out of space.

Windows explorer did not show me the files on internal memory, but on external memory.

I looked into it and found the files @ phone under /storage/sdcard0/. They should have gone to /storage/sdcard1

How is it possible that windows shows the right size of external sdcard and the files to be present there and on the other hand on the phone they are put under internal (?legacy?) /storage/sdcard?

I do not know if this is CM related bug or just a Bug in Android itself.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
No no, I just heard that 'manual network selection' has not been working with some ROMs including CM in our phones and even with stock ICS.

In some destination, we have to MANUALLY select a specific carrier all the time just to enjoy the unlimited data services which commissioned by our main GSM carrier.

Stock ICS : no response

Stock JB : seems okay..

CM10: not working (?)

CM10.1 : not working (?)

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] turbo180:
It is strange, but it didn't work for me with stock ICS before, then flashed CM10, CM10.1 and now, when I've reverted back to stock ICS from a backup, it works.

Strange enough, I just installed stock JB, but it didn't let me select network provider, just like ICS did to me.
