WIFI issues?

Is anybody having wifi issues? I find that I'm occasionally not picking up wifi signal after it has been lost. For example, the phone reboots automatically in the morning and will hook up to my home wifi, I'll go to work, and it will hook up there no problem, but when I return home in the evening, there's about a 30% chance it won't see my home wifi, I've changed my Access Point in case it was at fault, but nothing has changed. I've also found that sometimes it won't see public hotspots that I normally connect to.

I've tried the wifical.sh "fix", and that made no discernible difference. I've also tried a different Droid 4, and that made no difference. I'm just wondering whether this is also related to the occasional Bluetooth connection glitches as it all uses the same chip, I think?
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
I'm using m8 and it's working great and haven't noticed any wifi problems I cross from my house's wifi to my work's wifi whitout problems and having wifi ON all the time.
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
Not that I understand how/why it makes a difference, but maybe it's time to perform a clean install and see if that addresses the problem?
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
To be honest i don't know it's lack of support on Droid 4 or CM or ScreenCast ... beacuse if you test with:

1) ChromeCast: you need to have chromecast pen connected to your TV there is no other way to make work chrome cast without it

2) Mirror apk..it's seems that it only works with an apple TV right now

3) Clean CM11...who knows if it's works...i read people using gnex 5 or 4 and it doesn't work either in most cases using cm11. On clean stock seems to work and someone make it work on CM11 but after flashing some files (meaby from stock)

The problem is... i don't have chromecast pen neither an apply TV (i have a sony bravia) so i can't test it...That's all i goth...
[Motorola Droid 4] zadops:
it works, thanks sd_shadow
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Looking to update my ROM. Currently running the 5-29 nightly with no issues whatsoever.

I saw the M8 was pushed out, and there have been a few nightlies since. Just to confirm, are the nightlies just updates and fixes to the stable M8 release? Or is the M8 the stable one?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Neither is a stable version, but they are quite stable ;)

Running the 20140712 nightly and I am happy so far :)
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Yeah, I know "stable" is a relative term in this case. Just didn't know for sure that the nightlies incorporated all of the updates of the M_ releases or if they were a fork of their own. I see on CMXLog that there is something about a systemui crash on boot bug that's gonna be fixed in an upcoming nightly, so I'll probably wait until that is added, evaluate any other issues and update. Gotta get me some Chat Heads.
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
As far as I know a milestone might actually contain less fixes than the nightly from that day.

I read the entries about the system UI crash, but it doesn't affect me and it doesn't affect you either if you didn't set the signal status style to text (stated in the commit messsage).
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I have a ChromeCast hooked up to my TV, and cast things from my phone over wifi fine. However, even with the mirror app, I cannot force it to mirror the screen onto my TV, I believe that requires a newer GPU than our phone has to do the real-time encoding and transmission of the screen onto the TV. It's silly since we have HDMI-out, which does work and accomplishes the same thing, but so far I have not gotten mirroring to work on our Droid 4. (Just on my 2013 Nexus 7)
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Sadly....have you tried mirror4cast?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762447

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.libmirror4cast.app.free.trial (free version)

it seems to work for a few people but I don't know...it only works with chromecast....

In any case lets hope someday it will be working like HDMI did!
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
Yes, that is what I was referring to, it does not work for the Droid 4, most likely won't, but HDMI has been working better and better instead ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Any difference between the automatic nightly builds here and the Official Nightly Builds here?
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
You should be using the official builds at this point, I have not had many issues, and as said before, they do include things not in the milestone releases, which tend to be for the better as development moves on.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
Okay, cool. The 5-29 nightly I have been using was from the Automatic Nightly link. That had no issues, but I guess I just got lucky.

What are the builds under the Automatic Nightly link?
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
You are right...it's an issue (or missing freature) on our Droid 4...last night I tried to mirror screen from my brother's Samsung galaxy s3 to my sony bravia TV and it works! Maeby in time lucize or stargos can take a look
[Motorola Droid 4] LuH:
Yup, 20140711 connects to the Bluetooth keyboard nicely, you should try your mouse now, male6363@hotmail.com :)
[Motorola Droid 4] sydfab:
Is there anyone who knows if 4g works in italy or in Europe (with the latest stable build)? Tnx in advance :)
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
4G will never work in Europe because the Droid 4 communicates on 700 MHz and 4G doesn't work on that frequency in Europe. It's a hardware limitation.
[Motorola Droid 4] Goodeman:
I'm trying to create an APN that will only allow MMS over mobile data. Can someone tell me which settings to add so that it works?
[Motorola Droid 4] UPSGuy:
I just wanted to give a heartfelt thanks for your work on this. I used to be a windows mobile dev but due to work never learned to develop for android so I've been at the mercy of others and all the roms I've tried for this device since JB eclipse have had problems that made them not suitable as a daily driver, even after substantial tweaking.

This works flawlessly for me. I don't have to constantly keep setting up APNs and resetting the radio. It doesn't chew up the battery in an hour. No random reboots. Bluetooth works properly.

Seriously, thanks. I really appreciate it.
[Motorola Droid 4] Zero5295:
Love it!

I love being on this ROM ever since I retired my Droid 4. Do ya'll think it's safe to have my phone automatically download and I then install the nightlies without scrutinizing over whether anything will mess up my phone? I haven't been very active in the forums as of late because of life.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I'm running yesterday's nightly, 7/17, and no issues there...sometimes, though, I've found a single nightly to be a battery hog until some lil thing is corrected in the next one..but you could always just go back down one if you had issues. Generally, though, the nightlies have been totally usable and so you should not be too afraid of trying them out.
[Motorola Droid 4] Zero5295:
Thanks for the response, I'll probably start updating nightly then. One question: when I plug in my phone to do USB Mas storage, and turn it on (the storage), it'll sometimes disconnect and/or when I turn it off it crashes. Is this a known issue?
[Motorola Droid 4] rush242:
Custom Vibrations

Hey All,

Did I see a setting somewhere (or was it an app) to set specific vibrations for specific events, e.g. long buzz for a call, three short buzzes for an email, one short buzz for a text, et cetera?

Was that Light Flow (probably), a different ROM? As the Droid 4 is aging, anyone have anything they tried and liked?

Thanks, in advance.
[Motorola Droid 4] Asphyx:
Some older hardware is having luck getting Mirroring by having the Dev add audio.r_submix.default to the productpackages in the device.mk file.

Not sure that is enough for the Droid4 but it has worked for other CM releases on other units.
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Our hwcomposer (and in-kernel video-driver) is to old for wireless mirroring. All my tries to get a newer hwcomposer running failed, and the display-driver is heavily modified by motorola, so updating is hard. But there might be hope as there might be a new working driver on the horizon.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] bgmarian:
No updates?
[Motorola Droid 4] Asphyx:
Thanks Stargo, Thats kind of what I suspected was the issue as this Droid4 is basically a generation before all those Mirroring supported devices...
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
does anyone experience slow screen on after you press the power button since

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/780543728d90e3d972e2b8261c6af131b30b92c0 ?

sometimes you must wait several seconds or multiples power button pressing. With my kernel seems to be ok (on my device)
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
I don't know if it started since that commit but yes it happend to my like 1 time per week...but i don't wait to see if screen turn on in time, I just turn my phone off/on...and what kernel do you mean, this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2628090 ?. Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Thanks Michael to respond....I'm always think that with HDMI working (thanks to lucize and you)...screen cast would be easy....sadly it's not...But again thanks one more time for everything you do and let's that in near future will be a new working driver.
[Motorola Droid 4] Asphyx:
It's not the video system that is the problem exactly it is the fact that there are no hooks into the drivers to make a copy of what it builds for the screen that is missing.

Basically Android builds it screen data then sends the raw data to the video display that outputs to the actual screen and HDMI Port.

I believe Mirroring has to have a way to access that data before it gets sent off to the Video display, But I'm merely guessing here.

It could just need to be built into the Video drivers which isn't the case because Moto never intended for the Droid4 to support Mirroring as it was invented after the Droid 4 came out.

If Moto released a Kit Kat update for Droid4 you might have a shot at them updating the Kernel to allow it but don't hold your breath waiting for Moto to do that!

We went through a similar thing with the Droid2Global...

We couldn't get full support of any Android past GB because the kernel changes needed were just not available.

We also had issues with getting the full HW Keyboard to function which I noticed was an issue with Droid4 as well a few pages back.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
yes that kernel

there is WFD and writeback support in the newer kernel for framebuffer maybe that is the missing stuff, I don't have on what to test it..

Regards
[Motorola Droid 4] nagim:
I know that this might be wishful thinking, but any chance to have some resolution control over the HDMI output (maybe with the new driver)? The only thing that keeps me on stock ROM is the tablet UI with good resolution when using the lapdock. If that could be coupled with the speed and general awesomeness of the custom ROMs, it would be fantastic.

Anyway, thank you for all your work guys!
[Motorola Droid 4] maisdoiscorregos:
Will we ever have recording phone calls?
[Motorola Droid 4] Asphyx:
[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] appears to be all over the issue so let them work their magic...

Moto always seems to do things differently than everyone else which complicates the issue greatly and the fact that the Droid4 was developed long before Google took over the company doesn't help at all.

Got this with the last two nightlies. The boot animation MIGHT show up but shortly after that, the screen goes black for a sec, then the backlight kicks in, then maybe the boot animation...then it...well you know what I mean. Data wipe had no effect.
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Indeed it's broken....you will have to wait until stargo fix it
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
Hmm, it's working for me on the official 20140723, I did not update in the past few days...

Is the bug still happening with the newest nightly for you?

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I'm running today's (7/23) official nightly with no issues so far. Just used CMUpdater to download and install the update...
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Nah, same problem here with a build I literally just made. O well. I'll just keep my eyes on the thread until it's fixed. :good:
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
I can't fix it if I can't reproduce it ;)

What's your local_manifest.xml and did you apply any patches in the tree?

Does it work with the official nightlies for you?

Does the log contain more information, like more of the error-trace after the crash or is it probably written to /data/tombstones/?

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Is anyone else getting abysmal battery life with the dailies, starting about a week ago? My phone is usually at 70% by lunch, but recently it will be down around 50%. I haven't looked at BetterBatteryStats or really done much research yet, just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing. Tomorrow I'll load up BBS and see what, if anything, looks weird.
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
Dude I had that problem....to fix it I install CM from skratch (erase slot + install) and it works! (I think it messed up because I was playing with other roms)

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Sorry micheal, it's working...I was playing with other roms on other slots and seems its get bugged or bugged by me :)...but after a clean install from skratch it works! Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Well, Official nightly works fine, I should have tried that before posting. Patches? Well, not really. I'm adding in GApps and some adjustments to the brightness settings in the onverlay config.xml. I did try one without these changes which would make the rom basically the same as the nightly, but this didn't help so I improperly assumed this was happening in the official.

I am running one compiled on the 10th so I'm geussing I have some corruption in my local repo. I'll purge and resync today just to be certain.:silly:

The local_manifest is correct, last I checked (unless seomthing has changed recently that I missed?):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_maserati" path="device/motorola/maserati" remote="github" />

Thanks. :D
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
I'm not getting quite that bad battery life, though it has not been as awesome as it was for a while there. I was thinking of picking up one of those maybe-higher-capacity replacement batteries off eBay, but my phone's been unplugged for about 6 hours and I"m down to 66% today, running yesterday's nightly still. Remember, than whenever you update to a new nightly, that day's battery life will be much worse as Android has to re-index all of the media and other things so there are processes running and sucking up battery that may not use up nearly as much if we weren't updating our ROM every day or two ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
Ahh yes, this is true - good point!

I've been thinking of trying a higher-cap battery as well. The phone I have currently is a CLNR unit, and it may have been sitting for a long time... got me thinking maybe the cells are more worn out (I think Li-Ion cells age regardless of being charge-cycled) despite the phone being "new"? For $12 or however much the high-cap batteries on eBay are, probably worth it to see.
[Motorola Droid 4] joojoobee666:
Stargo, this did the trick. I'm back up and running, this includes my own modifications. Not sure what happened to my local repo, but whatevs.:cool:
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
Eiei, after I flashed the 20140726 nightly my Droid got stuck in a bootloop. Unfortunately, re-flashing the 20140725 nightly did not fix it :(

Will try to disable XPosed now ... although I dislike the idea that my phone will not be protected by XPrivacy then.

Edit: Seems to be a problem with XPrivacy as the latest nightly boots with XPosed and all modules except XPrivacy enabled ... maybe I messed up something ...
[Motorola Droid 4] tbv2005:
Running the 26th nightly with xprivacy enabled without any problems
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
It was probably a glitch in the matrix. Deleting the XPrivacy database did not help. Uninstalling XPrivacy did. Then I replaced the database against the old one (in the recovery). Now everything is working (booting) fine with the same set of restrictions ...
[Motorola Droid 4] stargo:
I would assume that your battery is slowly dying. Mine was doing the same and replacing it with a new one (sourced from ebay, looks genuine but I'm not completely sure it actually is) fixed all my sudden drops in battery capacity.

Great to hear :)

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid 4] Auronis1:
Hey all been awhile since I've flashed a new ROM.

CM11 07/25 seems to be running great just a couple questions since I've switched from CM10 and ICS 4.1.2 stock.

Are any of these possible?

Change "double" vibrate for notifications (gmail especially)

Enable AM/PM in status bar clock (CM10 option)

Volume rocker wake (CM10 option)

Apps showing 2 notifications in status bar (new with KitKat?)

Connect USB to Mac and view SD Card? (USB Mass Storage turned on)

Automatically switch "Profiles"? Maybe based on geolocation (ie. work, home)

Where are Developer Options? I can only find them by using Search in Settings

Avoid data/wifi connections turning orange color, not synced to google servers? (fixes with toggle on/off)

Also having an issue with the WatchESPN app going a bit haywire, you can also see the double Pandora notifications

So happy to still see development on this great phone
[Motorola Droid 4] rblanca:
About battery drop sudden faster meaby this could help? https://github.com/RAZR-K-Devs/andr...mmit/2d7b0a575cbd21583fe26d1fbae3d202afdfb28a

I know it's only changing the way that show % like motorola did...but meaby if it's changed it bugged battery meter.
[Motorola Droid 4] bofis:
--In certain apps they give you better control over exactly the kinda vibrate, but I'm not sure that's in gmail or the system (Handcent SMS does for example)

--Under Date and Time you can set it to 24-hour time, which is what I do, but seemingly it does not display the AM/PM if you're using 12-hour time display

--The Volume rocker wake setting exists on other CM11 builds for other devices, but it doesn't seem to be a setting on the Droid 4 build (same goes for the charge LED light check box that we don't get) But if it existed, it would be under Buttons

--I think without Smart Actions from Motorola we cannot have automated Profile changes unless you used something like IFTTT

--To enable Developer Options on any ROM, go to Settings, About Phone, and then at the bottom tap on Build Number as many times as necessary and it'll show a popup when you've enabled it.

--As for sync issues, sometimes that's Google's problem where sync is down the instant your phone tries to sync something, and then it falls into that state until you force it to re-sync either by toggling on/off or going into Accounts and just manually forcing sync

Sorry these are not necessarily satisfactory answers...
[Motorola Droid 4] ndd53:
I've been running one of the 'higher' capacity batteries for about 3 weeks, and it's been disappointing. It *might* be as good as the standard battery, but it's certainly no better. you might have better luck, but I wouldn't get too excited about it.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but back in June, a few users and I noted that there was sometimes an issue when waking the phone up and the data connection needing to be reset. Stargo responded to this by overclocking the phone a bit, as far as I understood it:

For a long time, I ran the 5-29 nightly with excellent battery life and functionality. Since I flashed a new ROM like two weeks ago, my first new version since the 5-29 one, I noticed the battery life was a bit diminished, even after taking precautions such as stopping wakelocks from NlpConnectorWakeLock and the other Google Play Services and being mindful of screen brightness throughout the day.

I'm going to try the latest nightly this weekend and see what kind of results I get.

Has anyone else had similar issues with battery life in the recent past?
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
It's hard to say. I might have slightly worse battery life than a while ago, but I am perfectly happy the way it is right now. I also don't see anything suspicious in BetterBatteryStats.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
I don't see anything in BetterBattery Stats either, but that's not to say the system settings aren't causing a drain. I'd love to hear Stargo's take on it still. Maybe I'm wrong and I was just being psychosomatic, assuming the next ROM couldn't beat the original for me. Just flashed 7-31, so I'll see how that does for me.
[Motorola Droid 4] joefuf:
I'm getting an error that says "Can't connect to camera" on the 7-31 nightly. Anyone had this issue?

EDIT: A reboot fixed this. Has anyone else had this issue because I haven't
[Motorola Droid 4] daniel_m:
You will get this error any time an app that uses the camera actively crashed. Would be nice if the camera could be re-initialised by apps or Android itself, so that we wouldn't have to reboot (Windows 98 anyone? ;) ) after a crash. Especially apps like Instagram or Google Camera 2 tend to crash a lot when using "advanced" camera features or when doing "weird" stuff like focusing in low light ...
[Motorola Droid 4] sharptv:
Those who are using the Droid 4 on gsm networks with mentor's patch, does the answering party during a phone call find it hard to hear you? I am having this issue with two Droid 4s since day 1, but never with another non-cdma phone. On my other gsm only phones, i just peak normally and the answering party can hear me perfectly fine, on the droid 4, i literally have to shout into the phone, even when using a bluetooth earphone. I wondering if it is a issue with cdma phones on gsm networks. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

p.s the in-call volume is really soft too
