Well, I don't know honestly I'm just still scratching my head over this...

For the record though, when I've mentioned the auto-lock power widget (PW) , I meant the one in the notification drawer (or quick settings) one:

I use it because most of the time, I don't need any lock(screen) on my phone and I want the quick volume rocker and screen on operation mode. But I've seen cases where even though that power widget is uncheck, lockscreen would show and a double toggle of it will reestablish the desire behavior.

Other times, like while biking or listening to music, having the lockscreen ON is nice (prevent accidental input and give you full screen album art covers) and just having to toggle the PW to do so works great.

But all the aforementioned 'issues' now make me wonder if I should just avoid turning off the lockscreen altogether... It almost feels like some apps or services sometimes see the system as locked (as in screen off and not user unlocked yet) although the screen got never turned off or left to sleep.

Last food for thought, this screen:

notice how the first 2 options are disabled and reasons given? Well, that is in fact due to the fact that I use and store vpn credentials; it requires the use of a pswd protected (or connect the dots swiping type unlock). So no biggie here, and the all the stuff I wrote was still observed while not using vpn (and just the using the swipe the lock to unlock lockscreen) but could it also mean that the use of the auto-lock PW should also be disabled in order to avoid problems? Could this no auto-lock mode also cause the problems in others apps/process?

Anyhow, don't get me wrong here: I like the way things work now and are a small 'drawback' compared to the benefit of being able to use without any lock 90% of the time.

Again, I'm just wondering if there couldn't be more underlying the no auto-lock use; more that could potentially explain some unrelated and rare (but they do occur.. - who doesn't reboot once in a while just to clear things up?) issues like cpu lockups, disconnections, statusbar/powermenu stuff disappearing, etc...

Was looking to download one of the old CM11 nightlies, but all the links on download.cyanogenmod.com give me 404s... CM10 and CM12 downloads are fine. Are there problems with the hosting servers or something?

Examples:

[Motorola Atrix HD] mauchito:
You need to download the moto_msm8690_jbbl ones. This is the newest one: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/100850/cm-11-20150216-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
[Motorola Atrix HD] ssuds:
Oh, duh. Brainfart. I was totally aware that we had switched to msm8960-jbbl, but that it was deprecated now that we're back to individual device configurations for cm12. I misread the dates on those builds as 2015 instead of 2014 and thought that they built a few new mb886 cm11 builds before transitioning to cm12.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ilmcgee:
Now I'm confused, I thought JBBL refered to a newer bootloader and it wouldn't work on the Atrix HD.
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
KKBL is the bootloader you're thinking of
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
A way to remember:

JBBL = JellyBean bootloader.

KKBL = KitKat bootloader.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
To add some lines to this I want to mention that even though we run KitKat and Lollipop Roms we are still using JBBL since ours device didn't get updated to official KitKat from FREAKING AT&T.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
We know you secretly really love AT&T ;) NOT. Also a bit OT but at this point I don't see why they (AT&T/Moto) would bother with KitKat for AHD, and Lollipop is not quite ready so I predict another betrayed promise (but would be glad to be wrong).
[Motorola Atrix HD] ilmcgee:
Thanks guys, brain fart I guess.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
Man I just wish all their towers fall down to hell. :mad: :banghead: :D
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
LOL Be careful what you wish for. It very likely that our T-Mobile services uses the same infrastructure, which was probably one of the reasons for AT&T's failed bid to absorb T-Mobile. I'm glad that merger never happened :).

both the speakers not working untill rebooting

I am using cm 11 and one day suddenly speakers stopped working. Both the rear and the ear peice. rebooting (not soft reboot) solves the issue temporarily. since the soft reboot does not change anything, im guessing it is kernal issue or some hardware issue. is there a way to fix it? anyone have/ had experienced it? I almost tried every rom (including stock) no luck...
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Using nova launcher and when I rebooted, my nova launcher disappeared. For trebuchet back as the default home. Reinstalled nova again and all my old settings were on. Anyone know how or why this happened?

---------- Post added at 04:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------

Edit...I think it happened after I fixed permissions via cwm ROM manager. Could this have caused it? But I also remember a time it did this even without using ROM manager. It was a soft reboot

What do you mean exactly ? ?

CM11 for AHD has been named like so for ages (over a year I think...).

[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I wonder how the Freak SSL/TLS security hole is going to play out for us. It might make me switch to CM12 sooner than expected. Reference to a fix for it in CM12 posted by CWGSM3VO here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59382998&postcount=2182

For our phone I think it is this commit http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/90574/ in the next CM12 nightly

This also complicates the increasingly mythological sounding claim that there will be an official update for AHD.

[EDIT I wonder how difficult it would be to reproduce those changes in the last CM11 2/16 nightly]

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 AM ----------

Since February 2014, and in a funny quirk of the calender it happens that the last MB886 specific build before it went unified to MSM8960 was 2/18/14 and the first CM12 nightly after being separated by device was a year and one day later on 2/19/15. Timeline from nightlies page: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=mb886.
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
Good info!

Well I sure do hope that this fix comes to CM11 sooner than later. The commit code change seems relatively simple (just a few code lines), but there seems to be many potential repercussions and required testing involved. So it makes me wonder if anyone will bother doing it. Hopefully once Google release an official fix, CM will bring it to us.

In the mean time, that made me update Dolphin (thing that I rarely do). Look what I was getting this morning with both my main browsers a nice redirection:

Tried again this afternoon before tge update and got this one even funnier (I've never used Chrome on this new [got it yesterday] 2nd AHD):

And all this stopped right after. So as much as I always get bothered by all the new Dolphin update crap they choose to add/change, I guess an up-to-date browser is a must.

BTW: thanks for that AHD tear out pdf you gave; it helped me resurrect the wifi/GPS of that new phone off mine - which I thought I killed (as with my previous one) while fiddling to fit fit a 3400mAh battery in.

And one last comment, that made me realize that it is no surprise why I've previously experienced GPS issues during MTB rides. That WiFi/GPS antenna's contacts to the main board was poorly designed imho. I currently use mine only in a silicone case (w/o the back kevlar lid due to thick battery) and I've fixed the GPS by twisting and squeezing the space between the power button and the volume rocker. So I can imagine what an accidental phone bump on the bike frame (even with the back cover on) could do to that antenna contact...
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
I mean how can it run with my device being a mb886
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
CM11 for us started out as mb886 builds. Then around feb last yr, it all became unified as msm8960. Then in july/aug, CM11 became msm8960_jbbl for us. Now we're at CM12 and its back to mb886.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I use the newest version Dolphin and never get that sort of thing, although lately I also use Adaway. Dolphin is not yet patched for Freak and I don't think Chrome for Android has been patched for it either (I banished Chrome a long time ago and would not know). Firefox and Opera are also patched. Ghostery is not. You can go here to test a browser. https://freakattack.com/.

NP. That is a great document. If memory serves me well (and it does not always) credit to KrissM22 {mention system not working} for referencing it.

I can see how the back cover binds the layers of the phone together and becomes part of the system that keeps pressure on the contacts. That might actually make the phone stronger as a whole, until the first mechanical failure occurs. Favors replacement over modification or repair Grrrrrrr!
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
Right, except the back cover only snaps onto the plastic frame (containing the antennas) which is itself 'bolted' on (8 or 10 screws) to the mainboard/screen assembly. So I'd tend to believe that it only binds itself to that frame (and not really all the layers together). But then again, it surely add strength to the whole thing and keeping the plastic frame straight helps good contacts - it's just not adding any sort of direct physical pressure between the antennas' contacts layers.

As I'm sure you know, I'm not trying to argue here, just throwing pennies in...

But I'll tell you that after being used to large capacity battery backup for a couple of months, boy I just couldn't stand more than one discharge cycle on the stock battery before I opened it up. Much like watching butter melt on a hot pavement type of experience...

Sorry for the hardware O-T btw.
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Argument? LOL. I'd call it a well reasoned point but if you want we can argue about something; like maybe what exactly comprises an argument:). OK, seriously, yes the back cover would have little or no effect on the forces that press the layers together from back to front which makes it moot for your issue which seems to be in that realm of physics, but by securing the corners and creating a tight seam along the perimeter it is probably adding support against torsion and flex. Could not resist the hardware OT as well. Back to software.

As to the possibility of a CM11 security patch; wouldn't that be considered diminishing returns by Cyanogenmod and Devs who would be better helped at this time by having more people test and report on CM12?
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Just had a weird issue. After clean flash of cm 11,my sound wasn't working. None! Then on a reboot it works. What could have caused that?
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I've never seen that although I have seen instances where native ringtones were not available to be selected as ringtone until after a reboot (media still scanning?). Don't know that those two things are related but for what it is worth.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Yea. It was keyboard sounds, the volume tab in settings(when choosing or turning sound up or down) I have never seen this on this device. Just on my inspire
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Pondering in more depth... I did once see something similar; where a ringtone or notification sound did not play, and think these are indeed related. Hypothetically: If the system is set to play a sound from a file that the system is not yet aware of no sound plays. After next reboot the system is aware of the required sound file and plays fine. Most likely just part of the droid sorting it's self out after initial instalaltion.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
So, it should be fine now?
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
Of course I cannot declare that with certainty, but with a logical (although unproven) explanation about why it might have happened it does not seem too worrisome.. if there are no other ill effects.

[EDIT] To add: Since you are flashing CM11(and I would assume the most recent 2/16/15 nightly) we already know that there is no bug like that in the ROM. In fact that nightly is probably more widely used and better tested that others because it is the end of it's line.

Funny thing is, it has never happened before
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
A bit off topic but serving as a heads up and to make sure Google (and not the ROM) take the blame. There is a bunch of nasty Google-fu going on. In the past few days a combination of updates to the Google search app, Google Maps, and Google update services are causing 2 problems (that I can tell; there are likely to be others).

1) Partial wakelock: Google Services, SystemUpdateService. Does not seem to be revving processor but is hitting battery harder than any other wakelock I've seen. The only workaround I've found is to create a TiBU widget to quickly freeze/defrost "Google Play services when I need to use a Google Play services dependent app. Unable to use Tasker to created a profile to disable/enable with screen off/on - dang. Wondering if there is a better way. If this comment is accurate http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59586704&postcount=27887, this wakelock might not be fixed in CM11. Although it also exists in CM12 if it is a ROM issue it will get addressed in CM12. L5.1/CM12.1 cant come out soon enough

2) Google maps now forcing High Accuracy mode. Device only GPS mode won't work at all.

BOO-gle!

[EDIT] This workaround has been effective in short tests.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...emupdateservice-wakelock-nightly-12-20150317/[EDIT]
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
Will keep an eye open for wakelocks thanks.

But so far, so good here; but you know I'm not the one using crap from Gapps (or Gcraps) (only have/use PlayServices and Playstore).

So, what is your version of Playservices of you don't mind?

On one phone I have v6.1.09 and the other v6.7.76 — both running CM11 latest nightly. And I don't have a clue on what exactly is SystemUpdateService...

Cheers
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I've got Play Services 7.0.97(new), Play Store 5.3.6(new?), Google App 4.3.10 (new). All of the references I found about the wakelock seemed to relate to Play Services 7.X and the only time I've seen SystemUpdateService is in this wake-lock. SystemUpdateService is visible in Privacy Guard as well as DisableService and AutoRunManager apps, although I don't know if the apps are as effective as Privacy Guard (why go third party anyhow).

In addition to many Google product related updates there was at least one services update in the past few days. Not sure about Play Store but the top search bar there looks different than it did a week or 2 ago.

As to Google-minimalism: I'd be nearly as minimally Google as you if 1) My employer did not use Google everything, and 2) I use Google search app primarily for the text to speech = Hands free spoken text messages, announced phone callers with Tasker. Also quite fun to use non English voice packs with English text.

Salut
[Motorola Atrix HD] marknoll:
Just confirmed. Looked at better battery stats and sure enough those partials are there..wow! That is nuts!

P.s. this is from my HTC inspire. I don't run gapps on my atrix. Way too many wakelocks kill that battery fast.
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
OK then, I will stay away from v7.x.x Play Services as much as possible - at least until Google fix their mess once again. Sorry for not trying it out for the advance of science, but I know from experience that it is better not to mess with that app unless you're ready to nand restore...

Anyhow, one more question for [MENTION=5119654]IronTechmonkey[/MENTION] : what forced you to update it? An app like G Map warned you that it wouldn't run without the latest Play Services installed or do you just get it bundled with Gcraps packages? I guess my real question is: have you tried to just use an older version?

PM me if you'd want to give this a shot; I can upload the 2 version I mentioned a post or two above...

Cheers

edit:

I just figured out what was the Android System you were talking about... (doh!) So here a ss that proves no wakelocks here... (and the advantage of using a high capacity battery)
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
As to the service update, as a test pilot (or glorified end user) I see those as somewhat inevitable and don't block or manage them. BTW just after I wrote all the stuff below I found these 2 commits for CM12 which seem to do something similar to the wake-lock fix I referred to at the CM forum. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91579/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/91021/. I think it might be time to give CM12 more than a quick test unless Google changes things. I'm tempted to test stock as well, time permitting.

As to GMaps, (and going a bit long OT because CM11 is no longer under development for MB886 so what else are we hacking at:)) this is downright insidious because it is not a problem with just the new version of the app.

- GMaps 9.4.0 before services update: Device only GPS mode, tapping GPS dot (lower right) finds location, centers and levels map; with a prompt to use high accuracy mode. This prompt can be permanently dismissed. This is actually the only time I’ve ever seen Google offer reasonable disclosure and options.It lasted only a few weeks.

- Google Maps Maps 9.5.0/9.51 device only GPS mode, tapping GPS dot prompts that your settings will be changed, with OK and Cancel as options. Cancel takes you back to the map. Pressing GPS dot repeats process. This means GPS Device only cannot be used at all in that version of Gmaps.

- Now here is the insidious part. When the GoogleUpdateService was updated to 7.x Google Maps 9.4.0 started delivering the same prompt as GMaps 9.5.x. At least in this case pressing cancel and then pressing the GPS dot again does properly find/rotate and level. I even went to a nandroid from a week earlier but as soon as the services update hit, the GMaps 9.4.0 behavior changed.

BTW I appreciate the offer to help revert GMaps but I'm well backed up and I manually check for app updates in Play Store so I can walk back updates that are no good. Grazie mille.
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
True that we should go wild with OT here I guess but as mentioned lately, I do hope that we get one last CM11 update to fix the FREAK exploit system-wide though...

And I just had a look at the other AHD forum sections (something I rarely do) and things have been pretty dead for a long time. Nothing in Themes and apps, accessories and almost nothing in Q&A (I just posted a question regarding and alternative to HDMI TV connection and wonder if it will ever get read/replied to...) and development...

OK, so here's my semi-OT: I just found out that in Settings/Privacy/Filter notifications we can actually (as the path says) filter some notifications per app. This is useful in some cases like with some games that send daily bonus or alike notifications. So to block them, we either go in that settings section and add the app or long press on such a notification in the dropdown notification panel and choose "Ignore messages like this".

Useful but I found a little glitch: for Real Racing 3 game, I've used the second method and although notifications are no longer displayed, I still hear their notification sound (a custom and very annoying one that is). I will try adding the app to the black list later to see if that does the trick better or not.

I've noticed that the long-press method doesn't permanently work anyway if the app is actually changing the notification's wording. I already did this twice and since there are weekly bonus/challenges, I'd have to constantly repeat that process. Idk if the recurrent sound notification issue also related to that or not... we'll see...
[Motorola Atrix HD] IronTechmonkey:
I wonder how those settings relate to going to the properties of the App and setting it not to notify and if there is any difference which might help with Real Racing 3. I use LMT Pie and don't need it's notifications so I disable them from the app properties but have wondered if that was the same as "ignore messages like this".

[EDIT will test later. Nandroiding now]
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
Well, I did that just yesterday (disable notifications from the app"s properties) and so far, so good: I haven't heard any sound notification AND I do not see any entry in the notifications list that pops up when pressing the top-right corner button of the Filter notifications settings screen.

So it seems like this method works better than the long press and "Ignore message like this" one.

Thanks.

Does CM12 kernel supports IPTABLES? or is there a way to get it work with CM12?
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
I plan to switch one of my 2 AHD phone back to LP soon. But what I can say is that when I did try Validus (based on CM12) ROM, I've had no issue using the AFWall+ firewall [which uses iptables]. So I don't see why it shouldn't work for you..
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Yeaah that works fine, But global tunneling doest work in cm12.. i tried using "ssh tunnel" app. it connects to the host, but other apps fail to tunnel thrugh it,, they always use direct connection
[Motorola Atrix HD] [] AL []:
OK, well that helped a bit more knowing what you meant by IPTABLES...

;)

I wouldn't know about global tunnelling as I've never tried it - sorry.

I thought though: are you using a firewall when you're trying to do so? I remember having to set a custom script in the one I've mentioned above in order for it to actually apply rules when going through a vpn app before. Nowadays, I use my PC's paid VPN service on CM11's default VPN app; so maybe that could be considered direct connection as well??

Here, I found the script for it (wifi only - read/search if fast mobile data is used):

$IPTABLES -A "afwall" -o tun+ -j "afwall-wifi"

Might also need to make sure that the firewall isn't blocking "Apps running as root".

- - - - -

Anyone up for an OT part? Here it is anyway:

I've mentioned Real Racing 3 here lately, so here's something I've found earlier to cheat a little [no worries: it's no warez, key or whatever not allowed on here]. Just basically a profile where all the cars and the tracks have been unlocked... So unless you want to spend the next 6 months working on your driver's career...

Go:

Backup (rename the original file's extension) and replace 'character.dat' file in:

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.ea.games.r3_na/doc

with the one included in the attached zip.

Enjoy all the cars and tracks!!

Quick question:

Does Real Racing 3 run fine on AHD? Any sort of stuttering? Since it is one the high end graphic intensive games on android and racing games usually require high FPS for better experience
