I thought Motorola had relased/unlocked the bootloaders for their devices?
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Not for OMAP devices.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Using the 4/15 nightly, my battery lasts longer than ever and I have HDMI AUDIO and dock detection! This is brilliant! Thank you for all the hard work!

Now if only I could fix my earpiece speaker so I could actually hear goram phone calls... :eek:
[Motorola Droid 4] DiMacho:
Indeed I have 4/14 and battery last more then 40%. Wonderfull!!:good:
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Indeed it seems battery last more!!...Thanks [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION], [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION], [MENTION=4772154]lucize[/MENTION] and everyone who make our omap's device last longer!
[Motorola Droid 4] herbmillerjr:
Getting "com.android.phone has stopped" errors with 4/18 nightly. Switched back to 4/15 nightly and still getting them. Not sure what changed.

switch sdcard0 and sdcard1

Hi,

I'd like ask you if I can switch sdcard0 and sdcard1 (sdcard and sdcard-ext) or is it possible to select which memory will be use when connect as USB mass storage drive?

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid 4] Zero5295:
Hey does mms work right for this rom? I tried sending a couple pics and it still says sending after 30 mins or so.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Swapping sdcard0 and sdcard1 doesn't work. I hope this will be fixed sometime soon. Well, I installed CM on my stock slot to gain more space and so far I am happy.

MMS is working fine for me. Did you resize the pictures before sending? In my experience, pictures that are too big will be accepted by the MMS app, but they might not be accepted by your provider. I always have to resize pictures before sending them as MMS (too bad that the MMS app isn't doing that automatically).
[Motorola Droid 4] Zero5295:
Ah that was probably it, I didn't resize the picture. I've never used a provider for mms before now, so this is news to me. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] :
I've been running the official nightlies in rom-slot1/2 for a while now. But I'm curious, can I install the official nightly in rom-slot STOCK without a huge risk? Like, can I upgrade safestrap from my new "stock" ROM? And can I restore stock JB from a safestrap backup?

If that doesn't all work in the official builds, does it work in these builds?

Great stuff guys!:)
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
i have not tried to install cm on stock slot, but restoring stock nandroid worked fine on older version s of safestrap. i even uploaded copy of mine link in my list sd_shadow's [Collection] of Links for Droid 4
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
I haven't used any slot but Stock, since the day Hash said we didn't need to use them any longer. There have been issues since, but nothing that was ultimately caused by using the Stock slot. I didn't un/re-install SS correctly once and other idiocy, but it has all been fixed by correcting my mistake, or a quick restore.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I use Handcent SMS for SMS/MMS and it can be set to automatically resize photos for MMS (and even has options for what size to resize them to) and I have never had a problem with MMS under CM11. I have it set to 1.2MB as the size it reduces to.

As for Stock Slot, I have CM11 installed into the Stock Slot, with no other ROM slots present and was able to do an in-place upgrade to the newest Safestrap without affecting the ROM at all.
[Motorola Droid 4] bustr85:
Quick question: If I use the automatic update from CM and install a nightly do I have to apply the GSM patch? Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] hajtla:
keyboard back light

Hello,

Im new in this and I have a question.

I have installed android 4.4.2 on my Motorola droid 4 XT 894, everything is OK. instead of keyboard backlight. Is any patch which can repair this?

I will very appreciate it.

Thanks in advance Dave
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I've seen no problems with the backlight. Have you got any apps that could possibly interfere?

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

Hi,

I'm still having bluetooth issues.

I have problems getting my phone to reconnect with my car stereo. I found that if I switched bluetooth off (I normally have it switched on all the time), and then switch it on, then it will connect fine. I use llama, and I set up a recurring task to switch bluetooth on/off. However, it wouldn't switch off because it said it was still connected to an audio device (even though there's no indication of it in the Android settings. So it looks to me as though it isn't disconnecting cleanly when the radio is switched off, and this semi-connectedness prevents it reconnecting properly again later.

Has anybody seen behaviour like this, and have any solutions?
[Motorola Droid 4] hajtla:
I have installed Liquid smooth 4.4.2 . is here any patch for backlight on XT894 Andorid 4.4.2?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
This is a thread for CM11.0, please stay on topic and start a thread in Q and A
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
Im using this great Rom for one month now and its great but the battery drain is strange. With stock I could use my phone nearly 2 days, now it loses 40% battery over night or sometimes even more.

When Im using the phone my battery is dead after 7hrs. And Im not a heavy user. WhatsApp, 2hrs WLAN surfing and no Games.

My phone tells me Android OS is taking 38% battery and I think this is too much, isnt it?

Does anyone have an idea why this could happen?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
My Bluetooth is still completely broken ... looks like I have to re-install from scratch ... wow, Android is worse than Windows 95! :eek: :D

Anyways, even in the latest nightly, Bluetooth and WiFi (and sometimes GSM internet?) switch on automatically after booting. I don't remember any more when this started, but it has not been like this before ...

Also, does anyone know how to fix SDcard read access? I don't know if something in the latest nightlies is broken or if this is due to the changes in KitKat that I just stumbled upon. Generally, some apps like "APV PDF Viewer" neither see the internal nor the external SDcard at all. I am aware that Google increased security, but I wasn't aware that this also concerns read access. (I LOVE Google for caring so much about our privacy/security! Heart-warming! :silly: )
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I hadn't considered the possibility that a fresh install might behave differently. It certainly seems that my pioneer car headunit is reluctant to connect after a connection has been made already (either with another device, or with the head unit).

Switching bluetooth on/off sometimes allows it to connect, or sometimes it requires a manual connection.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
My experience is slightly different. I find that when the screen isn't on then the battery life is great, but as soon as the screen is on then the power really drops. What is a little odd is that I'm pretty sure that my old test device worked well, and it wasn't until I restored its image to my primary phone that I noticed the battery problem. I have tried swapping batteries, and even have a new one in currently, so I don't think it is down to the battery itself.
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
I think I found the problem. it was the internet telephony which was configured to receive calls.

I disabled this option now and Im looking how long my battery will last now.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hi,

a big bluetootj-update was pushed to the repositories on sunday or monday which broke it (not only for the omaps it seems), so we have to wait for this to get fixed. I have looked at it but couldn't see something obvious.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Thanks - I might have had the problem a little longer than that. I have noticed that despite there being no active connection being indicated, the volume buttons sometimes alters the Bluetooth volume which suggest that the disconnection hasn't completely worked. If that's the case, then devices being unable to connect doesn't seem like a big surprise.

I hope it can be sorted out because it's the only daily problem that I encounter.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Is there more stuff broken in the latest nightlies? Even on 24.04.2014, my back button doesn't always work, so that I have to click onto the back arrow in apps (as long as they have one). And I cannot click on buttons in some apps (like SwiftKey).

Also, sometimes my launcher (Apex) or some background process seems to crash and makes my phone non-responsive for a while. These crashes draw a lot of power and I can barely make it through the day with one charge.

And the SDcard issue is still bewildering me :(

Edit: On the plus side, I just managed to switch on Bluetooth without it crashing ... still have to find out if it is working though ...
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I'm not seeing any of those issues (and never have with any of the nightlies). Is it possible you are having touchscreen digitiser problems for the button press issues?

I very occasionally get a system.ui crash, but that normally happens at boot time if it's going to happen. No problems with SwiftKey.
[Motorola Droid 4] userjf:
A couple of problems, wondering if anyone knows how to fix these:

#1

My phone will not connect to my Verizon 3G Network Extender. It connects fine with stock to the extender. With this ROM, however, it only connects to the verizon towers.

#2

Sometimes it is hard to get it to charge after the battery runs all the way down. With stock, it starts charging easily after it runs all the way down.

Does anyone have any information regarding either of those 2 things?
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
trebuchet + reboot?

G'day guys,

i hope this is just an obvious error on my part, but running the 20140420, whenever I reboot the phone it loses my settings: folders I've made on [whatever the launch bar is called] or [whatever the 'desktop' is called] suddenly don't have the contents they did before the reboot =/

Any clues?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Try a different launcher, like nova, or next.... There are dozens of free launchers in the play store.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
+1 for Nova Launcher - been using it ever since ICS, it's great. The free version is sufficient, but if you dig it, go for the pro version!
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Hm, it's so incredibly difficult to tell whether a problem is caused by a ROM or by some app :(

The digitizer and the buttons are working. I can see touches (activated in the developer settings) and the buttons make the phone vibrate. I reactivated all of SwiftKey's services and rebooted, without success. There is nothing in logcat and XPrivacy is not blocking anything either...

Well, so far yesterday's nightly seems to be more stable and it solved some issues I had (audio stuttering, phone sometimes not responsive, bluetooth crashing).

Btw., what is the difference between "full reboot" and "soft reboot" when Android is concerned? I know that a full reboot starts from the Motorola boot loader (or something), but does that make a difference for Android itself? Or does Android run through a complete start-up independently of a full or soft reboot?
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I'm using ADW EX (though the free one works too) as my launcher and have never lost home settings, icons, wallpaper, widget layouts, etc. Also certainly update to today's nightly while you're at it, since it may just be something weird with that one. What launcher are you using? Stock or the Google Now Launcher?
[Motorola Droid 4] Shobai:
Thanks for the replies, sd_shadow,Khiraji and bofis;

Yep, this was with the stock Trebuchet launcher. I've used Nova in the past [with Slim, I think], so I'll try that again. Having said that, it'd be nice, for completeness, to work out why it happened in the first place. Thanks again
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
It's not just you, I'm having trouble with occasional buttons and touches being ignored, and the occasional systemui crash. Hopefully newer builds fix this, otherwise I'm going back a few days.
[Motorola Droid 4] pyro42:
I, too, am unable to send MMS messages. I assumed it was hangouts not resizing the images, but Handcent gives me the same problem. I'm resized all the way down to 100kb and it still won't send. I've made sure handcent knew i was USA/VZW instead of Smart, still will not send.

I can, however, receive MMS?
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Battery is screwed.

Okay, seriously, this needs to be addressed, please, Stargo.

We're not crazy, our phones aren't bad, and neither are our batteries, this is only affecting people on this ROM, It got better for me after the Safestrap update (No longer reporting 101+ battery percentage) but the battery just tanks at the same points. It's really irritating. I know other people are having this problem. You're not alone, it's not your phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
My phone has never been nearly THAT bad :-\ Though I have noticed "Android OS" using up the most battery always (not screen!) as evidenced in this screen shot...that dip there was from 15% down to 7% which did happen rather suddenly, but I'm not sure what's sucking up the juice or if it's just a reporting bug at times?
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I was having this issue as well, with send and receive mms and group. The issue lies in the apn setting not staying accurate or in some cases with dirty/soft installs (not a full wipe), duplicates being created that interfere with each other. Try to back up your apps with titanium or your backup app of choice and then do a full wipe and reinstall, then restore and see if that helps. That is what I had to do.
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
and look in your phone settings if voip is active. i used the option take incoming calls and it eats my battery. disabled it and all was fine. a few days later my battery drains again but voip was disabled. i enabled it and disabled incoming calls again and the problem was solved. got 1d and 13h battery life.

another battery drainer is wlan and hsdpa .... enabled ot over night and lost 18% battery. disabled it over night and lost only a few %.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
I don't have any crazy dents in my battery usage, but I have to recharge more often during the day with the latest nightlies.

Touches not being recognized seems to be a problem with settings.apk. SwiftKey works fine when I start it directly and not from within settings.

Also, when opening "Mobile networks", I get a pop-up asking whether I want to view "Network settings" or "Subscription settings".

Another thing that might be unrelated, but that is driving me crazy: Does CM11 have different volumes for the internal speaker and attached headphones? I tried to make a Tasker profile that would start my music app and increase the volume to max., when I plug in headphones. Upon unplugging the headphones, Tasker is supposed to set the volume back to what it was before I plugged in the headphones.

I am aware that this might be a Tasker issue, but I see AudioRouter and some Bluetooth-related stuff happening in the logcat when I plug and unplug headphones. And I have no idea how to disable this or how to handle this. Android profiles are disabled ...

Edit: Seems to be a known problem. Anyways, I would still like to disable these different volumes and have headphones and the internal speaker share one single volume setting. The current situation is bollocks since these volumes cannot be adjusted independently in the volume control panel and the headphones volume cannot be adjusted without headphones being plugged in ...
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
After changing with a new battery I didn't had this problem anymore, just saying..

The battery driver is from moto not open source

Regards
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
After changing to a new phone and battery, I still have the issue. And it was working fine in CM10 and before.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

The issue is not overall battery life, it's the fact that the battery reporting is completely shot, and I have no clue how much battery my phone actually has. I do not have VOIP receiving. I'd kill for a day and a half of battery.
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
I'm seeing almost exactly the same thing here. When the battery reaches about 65%, it suddenly dropsto 45-47%. Then again, when it reaches ~35%, it instantly drops to 18%. I've watched it happen. I've tried doing a complete drain and recharge but to no effect (I had little doubt it would actually would do anything to begin with). One thing I did notice while doing that, the phone rode at 5% for well over 30 minutes while I was playing games and what not (high CPU, screen brightness cranked all the way up as I was trying to drain it) which tells me the power is THERE in the battery, just not being reported correctly. This issue only started around the time I switched to CM11.

This issue along with false email alerts (it's REALLY bad when more than one Exchange account is setup, but this seems more like a notificaiton problem in CM11 itself, nothing we can do from the device end) are the only major problems I have. I "tolerate" both problems but not knowing exactly how much battery life you actually have is rather depressing.
[Motorola Droid 4] sharptv:
hi everyone, will will my external sdcard be mounted as /sdcard or /sdcard-ext after installing this rom in the stock slot?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Mine is mounted as /sdcard-ext while /sdcard is linked to the internal memory.

BetterBatteryStats tells me that my phone is not sleeping when the screen is off. That would explain why it uses so much power ... but I don't know what prevents it from sleeping ...
[Motorola Droid 4] wilkster:
Look under kernel and partial wakelocks, either from the GUI or the exported text file. The exported text file provides more information.
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
ok today i have the battery ossue again. only a few hours battery life... it seems to that the battery drain os random to my phone....

and android os uses again 39 % a few days ago it only uses 12% of battery....

dont know wwhats up with my phone.

i have a new battery. bought it a few weeks ago.

so maybe its an cm11 issue.

so lets wait for a fix :)
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Looks like a kernel wakelock (suspend_backoff) caused the battery drain. I couldn't imaging which app could have caused it though, since I disable background services if an app uses any...
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
This is exactly the issue I'm talking about!
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
okay I have an idea.... disabled all and used my phone today. after 6 hours I had 60% of battery. Looked what used the must battery and it was again android OS. tapped on the battery graph and there was WLAN ... why was there WLAN? it was disabled.

So I looked in my Wlan options and "looking for WLAN even if its disabled" was enabled for location services...

So now I disabled it. and voila the blue graph below the mobile network graph was away.

So now lets try tomorrow how long my battery will last.

Maybe CM11 has an problem with location services by WLAN and eats up all the battery
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I'm not seeing odd battery drops, but levels do drop when the screen is in use, although fine when it's off. (Android OS and Android System use more than Screen). With reasonable use around 10% an hour.

The release on 27th improved the bluetooth situation, but it still doesn't reconnect 100%. I'm trying a llama setup that resets blutooth every couple of minutes (if not connected) to see if that works around the problem.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Just updated to the 2014-04-30 nightly, and my phone seems significantly faster and more responsive than the previous one I was on (2014-04-25 I think). HDMI works, UI is snappy and quick, and now that I've fixed my buzzing earpiece speaker, my phone is quite grand indeed :good:
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
Weird, HDMI isn't working for me. If I switch to stock rom in SafeStrap it works fine though.
[Motorola Droid 4] sharptv:
Could you advise on what's the kernel version on the latest nightly? Does it support overclocking?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
no idea if it supports overclocking
[Motorola Droid 4] sharptv:
You can check if it supports OC by going to the performance tab. Thanks for your reply, I am deciding between using the included kernel or

lucize's.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
How can you use another kernel? I thought this was only possible with an unlocked bootloader?

(Btw. overclocking is not possible with the CM kernel)
[Motorola Droid 4] sharptv:
take a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2628090
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
suspend_wakelock is used when the phone fails to suspend a number of times in a row (i think 10). It is used to prevent the phone from enetering a suspend-wakeup-suspend-wakeup-loop.

Main causes I have seen this happening: Broadcast/Multicast traffic on WiFi (like public hotspot or eduroam) and bugs in the usb host layer (but not since about february, I think I've fixed them).

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
I actually saw something with USB showing up as well, and this USB wakelock lasted similarly long as the suspend wakelock.

Well, I installed todays nightly (20140501) and after 3 hours of up-time, I only see a 10 minutes wakelock from PowerManagerServices. All other wakelocks are below 1 minute. I still saw my launcher (Apex Pro) crash and I am awaiting more launcher crashes. This was probably one of the battery hogs of the last nightlies, because re-starting the launcher uses a lot of CPU-time.

Another thing I see is that the lockscreen is a little on the slow side. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the phone to wake up, when I hit the power-button.

Otherwise, this nightly seems to be a huge improvement over the last ones.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
I should clarify, I've just been testing with audio over HDMI and dock detection - I had a mini-HDMI cable but managed to bust the end off the connector, so can't test video until I get another one... but HDMI audio is working like a charm.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
It looks like it wasn't Apex that was crashing, it was the Android UI, which led to all running apps having to re-load. Apex was just the one that took the longest to show up again.

Last time it happened, I was switching from landscape to portrait mode. Everything froze and then the screen switched off and I ended up on the lock screen.

I saved a logcat, but I still have to look at it and see if it contains anything interesting.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Just found this on CM Gerrit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63034/

Sounds exactly like what is happening to you, but the patch is still WIP so it might take a few more days for this to really get fixed.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Would be great if that would fix it! :)

Although my logcat (pastebin link) looks a little more scary than those from Unpublished. I tried to look up an IP with Javelin Browser and switched between Javelin and AFwall frequently. I don't remember when (time stamp) the crash happened, but it was when I finished typing the IP with the hardware keyboard, slid in the keyboard and thereby switched to portrait mode (could have been a coincidence though).

The logcat is full of APNs and there is a hell of a lot of XPrivacy stuff going on as well. I hope that it wasn't XPrivacy that caused the crash. If it was involved, then I would like to show the logcat to Marcel (MB66) ... even though he seems to be too busy for these kind of shenanigans ...
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
I completely forgot about this irritating "feature". I've turned it off, doubt it's related to the battery stats issue, but hopefully it'll let me eke some more life out of my battery! Thanks for the heads up!
