That log snippet is unrelated.

Our Motorola msm8960 GPS issue (it's not Photon Q specific, it has been reported also on RAZR HD, Atrix HD etc.) seems to be of the same nature as the privacy lock issue that Mike Kasick addressed in his patches for Samsung msm8960 devices (d2, jf):

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Are those patches already included in (phton q) cm10.1 nightlies or not?

is there a need to set

ro.gps.set_privacy=1

system property to reenable gps?

I actualy do not understand what your post is saying:

there is a fix, there is a fix for a similar device, there maybe a fix, there is a partial fix or there is no fix ? :)

The main question about this is, do i have to aquire a gps-lock on stock before I flash to cm10.1 or is that "magic" bull**** :)

Thanks for your explanation in advance !
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
Not magic BS. I even went so far as to take mine outside, run GPS Test, and let it sit for a while. It was a no-go. Flashed back to stock backup, ran GPS test, let it acquire a lock, flashed back to CM. This resolved the issue.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Yeah I did so two. It even is enough to nandroid back to stock version, get a lock and than restore the non-working-gps nandroid from before restoring stock-rom.

So one does not have to reinstall all apps/settings.

So there must be a magic-trick on stock-rom which modifies something that is not overridden by nandroid restore.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Its the magical GPS fairy.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
My post was meant for other developers and also as a note for myself.

There's no easy magic solution at this point.

The simple rule is: enable gps on stock and don't disable it before you go to custom rom, otherwise the gps engine won't work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
So every now and then when I'm using my GPS or doing navigation, my GPS locks up/freezes and my navigation has me in the same place on the little map thingy. Then about 15-20 seconds later it jumps me to where I currently am. If I'm not navigating and just using Google Maps instead, it'll lose the GPS lock then about 15 seconds later zones back in onto me.

Its been like this just about as long as I can remember. It gets pretty frustrating when I'm downtown or somewhere I have to be turning a lot since I lose my bearings.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
I also have the exact same experience, but I'm not sure this didn't happen with stock ROM. maybe HW fault or intrinsic limitation ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
This definitely never happened to me on the stock roms.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
I don't do navigation with my q daily, but when I do, i do not have those signal losses you experience. Maybe you could use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

To furter locate what is actually happening. Maybe you run into an agps update or so.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Well, are you running MC 10.1?

And I'm not sure what that app is supposed to accomplish, it works in every way and all of the data is accurate.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] turbo180:
I am also experiencing problems with google maps and google nav. Maps closes occasionally, and Nav closes always after short while when I start moving. Actually it is again Maps what FCs, because voice navigation keeps running. I believe it is related to the same GPS problem mentioned in previous posts.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
It's quite a ramdom symptom which is really hard to reproduce. It doesn't happen all the time, maybe once a week or so? sometimes a month?

It comes suddenly and goes suddenly, but very annoying especially when you are on the road and don't know whereabouts.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Al936:
I also have some problems with GPS on CM10.1 during navigation. The problem is: some times GPS signal is lost and is not able to go on until phone reboot. Actually it quite a randomly happen. I decided to return back to stock 4.1 to see how it works on stock. Restored stock nandroid backup two days ago. Until today's morning it works fine on stock. But today GPS signal and GSM signal also lost on the stock rom :(

I had exactly same problems on CM10.1 with google maps navigation, sygic and waze. Phone freeze after few seconds and i had to restart it with power and vol down combination of keys. For last week I am on stock JB without any problems with GPS.

WiFi Issues

After running Cyanogen mod for a while, i recently started getting issues where my phone would not connect to my WiFi routers. I think it may have something to do with me messing around in Advanced WiFi settings, but I am not sure.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Did you try a static IP? My phone had issues with some routers, and a static IP would fix it. My router at home I've never had an issue using DHCP.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] palmwangja:
I would say I witnessed this symptom even with the stock today. a repro confirmed.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zodiac12345:
I just fixed this problem. Downloaded WiFi Connection manager, went into settings, and chose WiFi Fix, then Advanced Fix. now everything is back to normal.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
He was talking about GPS? :confused:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zodiac12345:
Whoops, meant to quote my post and the one related to mine. My bad.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

Well, i found a couple more issues. For one, my phone keeps crashing when streaming music from Google Play to my car over bluetooth. The phone freezes, loses connection over bluetooth, and then hangs on the boot logo, not the boot animation. I then need to press PWR + Vol UP to turn it off, and manually turn it back on. This is a recent nightly.

The other issue I am having is with WiFi, it seems the phone sees lower frequency connections via inSSIDer, but cannot see them through the Wi-Fi Connections settings. Channel 1 seems to be problematic, I have no issues with Channel 13. I have no problem connecting to it over stock ROM or from other phones/laptops.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Not sure about your wifi woes, but the BT one is known. Revert to a nightly before 3.0.85 was merged - July 3, so try the July 2 nightly.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
I have just installed CM10 again using yesterdays nightly, and I once again cannot connect to my office wifi.

This is despite my other Q sitting next to it, connected, running stock.

I've tried changing channels etc on the a/p, but despite full signal, it still won't connect. Same result as when I tried it 6 weeks ago.

This Q will connect to my home's wifi, just not the office.

I'd call it broke, wish I knew how to fix it, so I could post a solution.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Connect with a static IP and you'll be good to go.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
I can't reproduce it when using a2dp streaming to my laptop (running Widcomm BT stack).

Are there any specific conditions when it happens?

Unfortunately, I can't debug and fix something that I can't reproduce...

I don't have car BT, so I need hints on how I could reproduce it when streaming to computer.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] spyderkoz:
I just start having a reboot problem where my phone will shut off and just show the unlock boot screen, done full wipe and everything nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Do you use BT?

I've seen a lot of posts across the msm8960 moto's with issues related to BT streaming on the latest nightlies.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] spyderkoz:
No bt, it happens when its just sitting there.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Happens when just sitting there!? Never heard of that before. I'm not even sure how to pull logs... there might be a last_kmsg, but from what you described probably not.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] robbi24r:
I started having this problem last Friday. I restored a backup & it worked OK for a few days, but it went ape **** on Tuesday. I finally had to restore to a version from 06-23, & haven't had any problems since (knock on wood).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Hey there dpwhitty11, I've had a look through the settings, & while I can see the ip address, I can't seem to find the menu that allows me to change the ip address. Any tips?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
You want to long-press on the network and tap on "modify network". Then, tap on "show advanced options" and change IP settings from DHCP to static and fill out the little blanks in that.

If you still can't get it working, did you flash a kernel?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Yeah - this is where I get to on the wifi details, but the ip is greyed out (not editable). I flashed arrrghs kernel from end of June. Is there one that unlocks this feature?

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

^So I can adjust the ip on the network I'm connected to, but can't seem to do it on the one I want to connect to.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Forget network and recreate it. While recreating choose static instead of dhcp in the advanced options.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
^will give it a try
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Hi having problems to toggle between 2g/2g+3g/3g via settings nor via statusbar. Idk since when, but it worked bevore on cm10.1.

Running todays nightly.

Any hints?

EDIT:

Got it working again. Activating "only 2g" in network settings and I can again toggle between 2g/2g+3g/3g again on statusbar.

Seems something got stuck.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
My CM10 Q drains the battery when turned off - anyone else had this? Has happened every time I shelve it. I have to charge it a few minutes to get it back on again.

This also would look like a boot loop, as it won't finish booting with a flat battery. Have to give it about 5 mins charge.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

OK, so I have given this quite a few go's and the phone just won't connect to this access point when on CM10. I've manually entered all the IP & gateways etc.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Solust:
When posting it's always a good idea to post which build you're on since there are probably at least 50 different builds of CM 10.1. If you have made any other modifications like switching out the kernel you should mention that as well.

I am on the 07/01 build and it works perfectly fine for me without any modification. An update at one point seemed to screw up something with WiFi. That was fixed after I flashed back to stock, then reflashed the CM build.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Solust said it. Specify the date of the build (things tend to change fast), mods, kernels... Logs might be helpful.

As for wifi - can you test that network/router with some other devices? I have no issues with wifi.

Battery is most likely drained by some 3rd party app. Mine lasts enough, about 12 hrs, 2 hrs screen on time = 60 - 70% (but I turn off things I do not need, eg. wifi, 3G)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
To be clear, the battery was draining when the phone was powered off, that is, shut down through the power menu. My other 2x Q's don't drain when powered off.

I'll confirm the build shortly, but it was an end of June version, running arrrgh's kernel of around the same time.

There is some sort of compatibility issue introduced via CM, with my office wifi router, as my CM10 handset connects to my stock PQ handset when I create a hotspot, and the CM10 handset also connects to other access points. The CM handset used to connect when running stock.

All 3 of my PQ's would connect to the office wifi a/p when running stock, plus I just updated to an early July build with the same fail to connect result.

I'm gonna download a later build (unless someone recommends against it) plus another kernel & have another go.

Thanks for the advice/support. If I find the solution, it is likely to help someone else out there also.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Updated to 0711 earlier, still no WiFi to my a/p. Running 3.0.85 kernel from 0711 now also.

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

I'm actually downloading the latest build with the CM updater, via WiFi, through a portable a/p, plugged into my office router.

So the CM10.1 phone will happily connect to a WiFi network in the same room, just not to the one I want.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

If the latest build doesn't work, I'll flash stock, connect to my a/p, then try 0701 like you have & see what happens. From what is happening, there must be something specific between CM & my wifi router - Green packet DX-230. That's the only a/p it won't connect to.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Solust:
That would be a good idea. The drivers for the various radios aren't distributed with CM. This means it uses the drivers you had from stock. It seems every once and a while that an update will screw something up with these drivers (usually WiFi or GPS) which is why it's a good idea to flash stock before updating.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Restored stock - connected to a/p, & have GPS lock.

Gonna try CM install again.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

No dice - won't connect now that I'm running CM10.1 0701
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Solust:
I just realized you aren't on CDMA builds are you? Unfortunately I don't know the differences between the CDMA and GSM builds, so I don't really know which build to suggest for you.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
For the wifi issues, have you tried a static IP?

My Q never had issues hooking up to my router via DHCP, but at my friends house, I would always need to use a static IP or else wifi would not connect.

I can't explain drain when the device is off - unless it's just battery calibration issues.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
GPS should be fixed since 09/07/2013. It should no longer be a requirement to get a lock on stock firmware.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Yeah I have been down that route, manually setting all the ip's & gateways, it appears to be specific to the Greenpacket router & CM10.1. It sees the network, allows me to set up access, but just refuses to connect, saying "Saved, secured with WA2".

Update:

I've loaded 0107 straight over the top of stock again after getting WiFi connection, but no go once on CM. I am again downloading the latest (1807) and will try that.

Anyone recommend a specific kernel to try with it, or should I just let the CM nightly do its thing?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Yes, I'm running GSM. Thanks for your input.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] schmandroid:
Simply can't get CM phone to connect to my a/p. Guess I will have to go without.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Anyone got proximity sensor bug? I'm on 20130719 build. The screen goes blank while in a call even I didn't put my phone on my ear.

Edit : Got it fixed by opening my slide and doing a call. The bug has gone now. :confused
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
I actually got that issue too (with the screen getting blank while in call (and not resuming once I put phone away from my ear after hanging up)).

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
Yep, something to do with SELinux broke it. I have no clue what.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] huatz84:
Yeah..sometimes it still appears. Could it be connected with the slider? If I slide it once and doing a call,the bug is gone. I didn't have this issue on previous build of nightly which I can't remember the build version. And I'm using nightly again after some months going back to stock rom.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] epv:
terrible cell data connectivity

Is there any way the phone could be using a different PRL than what shows in the "phone status" screen? Both the stock firmware and CM10.1 7/23 snapshot (and every other one i've tried) show prl 54015 but when I'm running a CM daily I get horrible cell data performance and lots of dropouts and very low transfer rates (<100kb/sec usually) but on stock firmware it works fine.

I can literally switch back and forth between CWM backups, it's always bad in CM and always fine in stock firmware. I don't really understand why it would be different at all.

Everything else is fine, though.. wifi, etc.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sk8rguy05:
Doesn't anybody know if the new builds of this rom have the Wi-Fi and data fixed? If so then they should be fixed in the carbon rom as well since they aren't dunces together.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kecksk0enig:
Seems working :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] sk8rguy05:
awesome thanks man.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] epv:
wifi is fine for me, no LTE and 3G data is slow and spotty.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] FinntheViking:
The correct and most up-to-date PRL for this phone is 55015.

Cyanogenmod just pushed the CM-10.2 (4.3) branch to their repo. :good::good:

I am bored today so I will pull the changes and see if it builds. :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
You mean CM-10.2 then, right?

Curious if it does build clean... that would be hilarious, and unlikely :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hfase:
Opps, yup CM-10.2. And yea so far it's not looking good, lot of missing repo's in their default.xml.

Might be a while yet before even the official stuff starts to build.

EDIT: On a side note; I did add VoicePlus (from Cyanogenmod) to Carbon and that works lovely. ;)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
Lol guys, it will take some while. I suggest not to mess with cm-10.2 until we see support for Nexus 4.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
The bluetooth audio issue (freeze>watchdog bite>reboot) should be gone by the next nightly.

Let me know how the kernel update works for you.

There's quite a lot of changes, so - as always, 'something' could have become broken...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hfase:
I agree.

I did a pretty clean merge if you would like to try it out though.

Build from yesterday (27.07.2013.)

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] pujdo1:
any progress on android 4.3 ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] hfase:
You can check the commits on GitHub. ;) There is more than a few GiB of changes though, and lots of repo's to merge.

(Not exactly polite to ask for ETA's either.)

I still have about a GiB left to download before I can attempt a local build of Skillraz's repo, its not really a question of "will I have errors" but rather "how many errors will I have" unforchantly.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolficus:
i am having an interesting issue.. only in calls does my mic not work. i have tested it with voice dialer and it works there.

if i plug a headset in.. calls work fine.

thoughts? ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Logcat? CDMA/GSM? I guess CDMA from your profile...?

I never experienced this, but I haven't run the nightlies in a while. Is there an older nightly where this works, or are you just trying CM for the first time?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wolficus:
i do apologize there... this is cdma and the newest nightly. i could try the one before it...

i had cm before... then do to a derp on backups i went back stock for a bit. now fresh install of cm for a second time :p
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] feedmenomnom19:
So I'm on latest CDMA nightly Bluetooth connected but when I try to play any media through speakers it shuts down and freezes at unlock bootloader and then I have to manually going to be with black and white screen do normal power up
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mrvek:
There were some audio issues (no audio) so a2dp fix was removed.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sly123:
Hello,

first of all I want to thank the devs for supporting this Phone!

But I have one problem that I encountered yesterday with the nightly.

At first everything was ok but suddenly in the afternoon I could not browse the internet in landscape mode.

The phone just freezed for 15-20 seconds und the "system" and "browser" hung up but I could close both after that and could still use the phone,

but the same thing happened if I use the browser again. (tried browser and dolphin)

Strangely it did not happen in vertical mode when I tried it. :-/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Skrilax_CZ:
It's probably the "fence sync" error that still happens (eventhough very rarely for me). It seems to me to be a bit random though.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Sly123:
I also have a problem with vsync/tearing. Can I do something about it?

And I'm wondering why there are no other Nightlies available than 20130731. What is the reason?
