no one tried the 1 April version ? :D

regards
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
I felt a little sheepish about applying the update, but went ahead and did it. Did you notice any problems with the Ram, or am I just being a bit wooly-headed?
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
I tried but got only a blackscreen and my phone wont boot anymore.

Had to start from scratch and now the 1st april version is running.

But what should I see?? Cant see anything special
[Motorola Droid 4] Aximander:
Baaaaaah.... Its no big deal! :D

You can simply flash the update on your current build. It's called a "dirty flash". Wipe cache and dalvik after and you are good. This works fine for these small updates.... Won't work for different versions (cm10 to cm11).

It's not something you would see. Ewe may hear it though.
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
ah OK I wondered about the goat sound when my phone was ringing^^

I think this was the joke?
[Motorola Droid 4] Ghost93:
I've lost wifi on the 0402 build, anyone know a fix for this?
[Motorola Droid 4] 3diord:
I lose connection to Google's push server a lot. It won't reconnect until I turn on wifi, or turn off and on the data connection.

Charging Indicator

Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is a problem with my phone, or the ROM, but I'm getting very intermittent charging status behaviour.

The phone will charge, but it doesn't show that it's charging - so the battery circle doesn't rotate, no lightning flash, and there's no "charging" listed in the status.

It invariably won't be recognised if plugged into a USB port on a PC.

Is anybody else seeing this sort of problem? As I say, it could be this D4 - it's a spare, and so I haven't used it much prior to flashing.

Cheers,

Steve
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Likely a bad charging port, I haven't noticed any charging issues.
[Motorola Droid 4] neil_swann80:
Yep. Every single ringtone seemed to have been changed to sheep.ogg.

Shamefully it took me quite some time (and a fair amount of baffled fruitless tweaking) to remember the particular date of the nightly update.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Thanks - that confirms my suspicion.
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
I did. It wouldn't boot.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
You sneaky bugger! My phone just rang and "baaahhhhhh!!". That was hilarious, well done :laugh::laugh:

April 3 nightly is now downloading :P

On a different note, something odd has been happening for about a month now with many versions of CM that I've tried on my phone: suddenly, my battery will go from ~40% to ~15%. It really does happen all of a sudden; I'll lock the screen, put the phone in my pocket or down on the desk, and when a text comes in not a minute later, my battery tanks. The phone truly believes it's about to die - I get the low battery warning and all my battery-specific apps (Dropbox, etc.) refuse to run while the charge is "low".

I've tried running it until it auto shuts off, then charging it fully; I've tried doing that and then wiping batterystats (which apparently doesn't do anything, but what the heck). I'm at a loss. It's not really a dealbreaker, just mildly annoying (and sometimes worrisome, if I'm out drinking and suddenly my phone is down to 5%... even though it isn't really, but still).

Has this happened to anyone else?
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Is anyone else having issues with the nightlies? Seems anything I install April 1st and after is just plagued with errors. Everything keeps stopping, and I have to restore to 3/31. Any ideas anyone?

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

Yep. Constantly. No clue why or how,
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I'm seeing neither problems. The nightlies seem very stable for me. Are you using Stargo's nightlies, or the official CM11 ones?

As far as battery drop is concerned - is it possible that it's just reaching the end of its life?

Cheers,

Steve
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I suspect a bad battery, or a bad charger can cause issues like that.
[Motorola Droid 4] WickedWayz:
As for me I bought a new battery as was my battery was almost 2 1/2 years old. As time goes by the life of the battery dies........
[Motorola Droid 4] IndiaBhai:
Yeah man I was having the same issue and I recently replaced my battery (bought the Onite one off of amazon for $17) and man oh mam the new life its breathed into it is insane.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Additionally, if your phone is misreporting battery %, it may not be the battery's fault, but rather you need to charge up to 100%, go into recovery, wipe battery stats, and then let it run down entirely, and then charge back up to 100% again to reset the calibration so the phone properly reads the battery %.

I have not noticed any issues with my % jumping down, though it still sometimes says it's at like 103% when fully charged :P
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Yep, it dawned on me that it's new battery time. I'm using the official nightlies, I thought Stargo's were done.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
They are still getting built because they are installable with BMM. That's the only difference to the official nightlies now.

So if you are using SafeStrap, using the official ones is the way to go.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Will definitely give this a shot!

Replacement OEM batteries don't seem to be very expensive, so it could be mine is just on the way out.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Yeah, I'm having lots of trouble with Google's sync/push. Really starting to piss me off.

No, it's not a hardware issue, this started for me and JooJooBee when we switched to Stargo's CM11, and I've been screaming it on the forum every so often, it's happening with several phones of very different age, and I've tried replacing the battery. It's a ROM issue. Glad to see we're not the only ones.
[Motorola Droid 4] 3diord:
Still having this problem. Had it on 3/22 3/30 4/03 and 4/04 at least, could have been happening previously too.

-edit- still happening on 4/05
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Thanks to Steve I could get the dock-detection working :)

Audio somehow works, too, but not out of the box. After inserting the phone into the dock, the mediaserver has to be killed. This seems to be a problem in the CM frameworks, but I couldn't find it until now.

Dock detection will be in the nightlies starting tomorrow.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] jhoffman:
I'm having this issue as well; most noticeable with Hangouts (where I constantly miss messages until I reboot). When the bug is occurring, I'll see that the person I'm talking to viewed the hangout, but I won't get their reply. So some of the data is being updated in real-time and some of it isn't.

I don't think that Google's servers are the issue; I just switched over from Stock and I hadn't had any problems with data getting lost in the aether previously. My wife is currently running stock on her Droid 4, and doesn't have this issue.

If any further testing is desired, I'd be happy to help. (Owning a pair of Droid 4's might be a little bit useful when it comes to debugging this!)
[Motorola Droid 4] 3diord:
You can use PNF to check the connection, or use *#*#426#*#* in the dialer

So far today, I've stayed connected by putting mtalk.google.com into the hosts file. It seems maybe trying to connect to GCM via ipv6 is causing the problem? I'll just have to wait a while and see if the connection remains stable.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Nice! Do you know if it's feasible/possible to fix this, so mediaserver doesn't have to be killed for dock audio to work? That'd be brilliant. :good:
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
why not write a script, which automatically kills and restarts the media server when connected to dock?

I think this should be possible.

Its not a good solution but a first dirty workaround, istn it?
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Wifi auto connect

Has anybody experienced a problem where wifi doesn't auto-connect. I've noticed a couple of times that after wifi is disconnected because it is out of range, and then return within range, then it won't connect until wifi is switched off and on.

Is it just me?
[Motorola Droid 4] scottay:
I also have this problem, and it seems to be the same as the OP in this thread:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/85919-cm11-wifi-problem/

The unusual thing that makes it different from previous reconnection issues is that the Wifi icon in the statusbar indicates it is still connected even though there is no data connection. I have been using Wifi Fixer as a workaround, and it reports frequent fixes:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer

Thanks for posting - I've been meaning to post, but wanted to first see if I could change my router settings to improve the situation.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwood129:
I have a little trouble with wifi as well however regular data is the worst. The 3-29 build is the only build in months that I have noticed I don't have to enable airplane mode to get my data working again. Not sure what's special about that one but I'll stay with it unless there is something new to make me switch.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Not sure if I have misread, but I'm not surte my symptoms are the same. My top bar doesn't show the wifi symbol at all, and the tile doesn't indicate any connection, so it looks exactly as one would expect when out of connection range, except it is within range. Turning wifi off/on wakes it up, and it reconnects to the available network.

I might try the wifi fixer app and see if that helps.

Cheers,

Steve
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
I updated today my cm11 to 20140409 because of hdmi video mode selection improvement.

so I hoped that I can use the native lapdock resolution but when I connect it to the lapdock it doesnt change the resolution and does not recognize that its a dock.

Is this normal? or what is the hdmi video mode selection improvement?

thanks for your help
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I'm sure Michael (Stargo) can fill you in properly, but he and I (well, mostly he - I've just supplied a few logs from custom flashes) have been looking at the Lapdock issue. His latest indications are that the fact that some of the Motorola non-open code is doing some of the cool HDMI resolution switching stuff is proving to be a bit of a problem, as it's not something that's easy to recreate.

I suppose it depends upon how much support there is for a fix, and how keen Michael is to spend more time on fixing it - I've offered my LapDock on loan to make the process easier if required.

We'll have to sit tight, and see what he says (unless anybody already knows how to do the resoultion switching, and switch to the external display?).

Cheers,

Steve.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
Maybe the pictures are ok, try other default picture app, like quickpic.

I only have high battery ussage
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Nah no other apps find them though.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
That's easy to explain: They are not there.

The camera application tries to write to the sd-card and fails, but records the image in its internal database (in /data/data/...). The gallery now thinks that there is a picture, but can't read the non-existing file...

One test for all who have sd-card problems:

Do you see the internal sd-card when you remove the external one and reboot?

I have the feeling, that there is a race-condition in the bootup-process, where the filesystem check for the cards takes too long and the system thinks that there are no sd-cards. The external one is checked first in this process...

If you have a linux/mac-system with adb, you can watch what happens during boot with:

$ adb logcat | grep -i sdcard

If you are affected by the sd-card-problem, please post the logcat-output.

In the meantime, I will temporarily disable the filesystem-checks to see if this is really the problem.
[Motorola Droid 4] tliebeck:
Are there any issues installing this in an alternate ROM slot (i.e., 2/3/4)? I seem to recall hearing in the early days of Safestrap that things had to be in Slot 1. I'm running the OEM JB in the stock slot and the stable CM10.1.3 in Slot 1. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] liftman-:
been on stock for a while because most the roms are just unstable.

decided to load this just to check it out on my d4, not expecting much, just wanted to see 4.4 on the d4.

i must say as is it is better then most roms out there lol.

camera working and everything else seems to be ok that i tried.

thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
I noticed that the latest gapps from dhacker wont flash for me it keeps failing so im gonna try the first set from 10/31

just flashed 11/24 build and camera pics now work but on screen keyboard don't and physical keyboard doesn't also and the bottom buttons don't work except the home button
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Seems to work now.
[Motorola Droid 4] spivey76:
I'm flashing in rom slot 2 (PA in 1, stock in stock) and the results are no different from whats already been reported. ART doesn't work for me with PA or dhacker's GApps so I'm leaving it set to dalvik for now. Are dhackers odex? Also the latest wouldn't flash, had to use the 103113 zip.

I did have the gray picture issue until the latest nightly which seems to be the work-around. I did also experience com.androidwallpapercropper issues when trying to set a wallpaper through Apex, but stock launcher worked ok.

Edit: SS 3.63
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
anyone else having keyboard problems on 11/24 build of is it just me?
[Motorola Droid 4] spivey76:
Haven't noticed any yet, but I just flashed it this morning.
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
yeah so did I and I keep getting errors in google keyboard it wont work and the physical one isn't either
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Had these issues on initial build. Try wiping dalvik/cache before and after flashing new builds. Running 11-24 and no issues so far
[Motorola Droid 4] spivey76:
One more thing - which network mode are the Verizon users using? WHen I have mine set to global MMS doesn't send or come in, but when it's set to CDMA/ EvDO/ GSM/ WCDMA I can get MMS, but the signal is constantly dropping. Where I always get full reception at home its now no higher than 3 bars, with constant fluctuations.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I haven't had a chance to test it but these gapps are supposed to ART compatible: http://d-h.st/hSL

[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
I figured out why ART was crashing everything. My cache partition was 300 megs. Apparently that wasn't big enough when switching to ART. I recreated my ROM slot with a 500 meg cache partition, and all seems good.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
I don't think it was the cache partition cuz I was having issues on stock ROM with it. It was probably just the fresh start that made it. FYI the gapps package previous to your post fails at install and makes everything FUBAR.
[Motorola Droid 4] COMpulse:
For my situation, I'm pretty sure it was the cache partition. When I was getting FCs, I went into SafeStrap and it showed my cache partition as full. Every reboot, it would attempt to upgrade/optimize apps. After enlarging it, I'm running ART with no FCs. I'm a happy camper.
[Motorola Droid 4] wolf45801:
I got my keyboard to work but im still getting google keyboard is closed error crap its getting annoying lol
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Aaahhh all has gone FUBAR. Gonna have to start from scratch.... Summon a beesh!
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
ah okay so its an issue. I only wondered about changelog of CM11.

So we have to wait. No problem :D

If I can help so tell me how and I will do my best.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Has anybody attempted to enable full-device encryption on their D4 with CM11? I'm currently in the process, and will report back on results, but if it's obviously broken or something, I'd appreciate if someone chimed in.

Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I did a full backup first.
[Motorola Droid 4] IndiaBhai:
USB OTG in Dock Mode?

Hey there guys had a few questions and remarks about the ROM:

Firs off, Dock support is excellent. One oddity though is that if I am using a USB OTG cable to use a mouse for example, it will not work if passing through a dock, it will only work if the the OTG cable is plugged directly in the phone. Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

Another thing is that when I tried to plug in a flash drive through the USB OTG, the pone could recognize that it was there but could not access it. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
So I'm currently running the 4/09 nightly, but now the CM Delta is saying there is no internet connection, even if otherwise my phone is working fine and has a working LTE data signal. I can go in and download the update manually, of course, just weird that now when I go in and try to manually check for an update, it says no internet connectivity. :-\

As for editing the host file to add in gtalk somewhere, does the host file get reset with each dirty rom update/install? Like will I need to put it back in there each time?
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Welp, I'd forgotten about how much difference a new battery can make. Sheesh. Still has the reporting issues though. I looked in recovery, how do you reset the battery?

About the phone screen becoming unresponsive, I had that issue today, just trying to make an outgoing call. That suggests that it is software related.

I'm using Contacts+ and its suite, anyone else using it and having the issue?
[Motorola Droid 4] 3diord:
So, it's been a few days and I haven't noticed any more problems with the gcm connection, push notifications are coming through great. Looks like a problem with it connecting via ipv6.

This is what I put in my hosts file, I can't guarantee it'll work for you.

173.194.72.188 mtalk.google.com
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
If anyone's wondering, it didn't work. Just didn't even start.
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Thanks dude!...lets hope that stargo can push it to cm or see what's the problem with ipv6
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Thanks! I added that as a redirect in AdAway so that it'll re-add that each time I update my hosts file. So far it's staying in sync...
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
I always wonder about that when I read the changelog on the CM nightlies. They fix some of the most pedantic minutia, but that one goes unattended. I wonder why?
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Because most of those are general CM problems, this is specific to the Droid 4, likely due to our weird Safestrap system and slots.
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Interesting, thank you.

Dolphin saving to SD Card

I know there are issues related to SD cards in kitkat, but I didn't expect to have the problem I'm having...

In the Dolphin Browser Download Manager, I'm unable to select "sdcard1" (or "sdcard0" for that matter - the only option that works is "/storage/sdcard0". The other option is ".AndroidSecure".

Is this a Dolphin issue, or a CM11 issue? I'm guessing that SDfix won't help - it says that it's unnecessary for cyanogenmod ROMS, plus it doesn't sound like the same problem As it's trying to fix.

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Do you tried Boat Browser? It's almost the same browser
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Have you tried with New Safestrap 3.72?
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
No I had not, was not aware of the new version, will give it a go soon-ish. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I know this wasn't directed at me, but just so everyone knows, the new Safestrap (3.72) works totally fine on our phones, I upgraded mine this morning right before installing the 4/15 nightly and everything's been working great. Also, now the phone shouldn't report higher than 100% battery, so whomever said nightlies never fix issues specific to our device should enjoy his fully charged, 100% battery stat ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
SS 3.72 worked fine for me last night, didn't check the battery this morning though.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Sorry for being a bit slow, but what's the upgrade path? Originally 3.63 was installed in stock, and then I've installed CM11 in slot 1. Do I upgrade to 3.72 in stock, and will it preserve my slot 1 settings, or do I need to ensure that all of that is backed up before upgrading?

Cheers,

Steve.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I backed up apps with titanium backup pro, reurned to stock, deleted Twrp folder and Safestrap folder, opened safestrap app uninstalled recovery, then Menu>manage apps uninstalled safestrap app.

Then installed new SS 3.72, opened installed recovery, rebooted to safestrap(TWRP), created slot one, installed cm11 nightly 4-14 and Gapps, and signed in, restored apps.

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

should be able to temp rename old safestrap folder, before installing new app, then just replace the new folder with old Safestrap.

[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
What about full device encryption? It works with safestrap 3.72? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Thanks for the instructions - so it's a full remove and re-install job.

That's something I'd need to spend a little time sorting out - is there any pressing need to update yet?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
I don't know...

Not that I can see.
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
To be clear, I didn't do a full remove/re-install. A) I don't see a reason to, B) if that were necessary, Hash would have said so.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
His posted instructions in op have not changed, which is a link to his site. Which I quoted.

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------
[Motorola Droid 4] Hashcode:
Actually, if coming from another 3.x version of Safestrap, you should be able to do the following as an upgrade process:

1. Place new Safestrap APK on sdcard

2. Reboot to stock slot

3. Open current Safestrap APK and use "remove recovery"

4. Uninstall the current APK

5. Open/Install the new APK

6. Make sure to allow Superuser permissions and agree to the disclaimer

7. Use the "Install Recovery" button

8. Reboot to Safestrap recovery and re-activate your rom-slot.

Hope that helps.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
Those instructions are if you're coming from a 2.X version of Safestrap, because there was a major change between 2.X and 3.X. No need to do this (aside for backup reasons) if coming from a 3.X version of Safestrap. Basically, if you can use this ROM, you can probably update without the reinstall safely.

That said, you should always back up your slot when changing anything major. I would recommend backing up your slot to a PC and your SD.

Edit: Ninja'd by Hash himself.
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Clarity, Dear GOD, CLARITY!!

Of course. I was just trying to be clear, that you do ~not~ need to gut your phone to upgrade to SS 3.72.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Hey Hash, I know you've laid this phone to rest, but could you shed any light on why the encryption feature fails on the Droid 4? Given the NSA BS, it would be nice to put another stumbling block in its way.

Thank you, for all that you do, and have done.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Yeah, I'm running CM11 in my Stock Slot, so I just installed the new Safestrap APK and clicked "install" in the app and it replaced/upgraded my Safestrap Recovery without affecting anything else. Thanks for your continued support, Hash!!
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Yep, that's exactly what I did.
[Motorola Droid 4] thelolotov:
On that note, I tried again on 3.72, same crap, encryption never started, sat there for hours doing nothing. I know it's because we have a weird setup, (Thanks Moto, for that locked bootloader).
