[Motorola Droid RAZR] omonoid:
I think im having the orange bar issue and just didnt know that was the reason for my drain. The main reason Im here is to discuss to weird things ive notice, one being quite alarming.

1st about and hr ago i came into the room where my XT912 with the 7/2 CM11 and the newest JBX kernel installed (first rom BTW) was peacefully charging to find that it was calling 2 random phone numbers repeatedly redialing every 30 seconds or so (i think thats how long the voice-mail dialog takes). It called the first 5 times and the 2nd 10+ times all on its own...??!! That alone is making me want to give up this new rom game despite the smooth nice UI.

2nd ive noticed when listening to music (on the sd card) it randomly glitches/lags out. Not sure if this is the battery saver of the trickster mod or greenify doing its thing.

Finally, what is the method for best battery life (seems worse than stock for me)? Ive done a fair share of reading recently, but not as much as most of you. I have location set to device only, wifi to not be scanning and in "battery saving mode" greenify hibernating most my apps, and the battery friend + sakuractive governor enabled on JBX (that's all ive tweaked in trickster)

Is there a certain build that works the best other than the nightly? Im not trying to be a beta tester i just want something functional.

Lots of questions there, but nothing yall cant handle right?

Of course ill thank all that help :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Hi omonoid.

First off, I'm using an XT910.

I have never heard of anyone mentioning the phone making calls on it's own. Also, not that I use my phone to listen to music, but from my minimal use, I have not come across any glitching/lagging. Regarding battery drain - well, I don't really monitor my battery much - I charge just about every night (even if I still have juice). Although, I am using a Maxx.

Orange bars... Well, I don't see them on WiFi. As for the mobile network..I have seen them, but not on the recent builds - I think May or early June was about my last sighting - again I'm using an XT910. There's a lot of info regarding the orange bars on this thread and by the sound of it, most people are seeing them less and less these days.

I would recommend you try CM11 without any extra mods and see how that goes. Just install CM11. See if you still experience problems. Once you have your base, you can expand from there (if you so choose). I updated to 07072014 this morning with no noticeable issues to report on.

For your music... Are you confident in your SD card - is it in a good condition, is it of a decent class (not a class 2 or something - although probably irrelevant for music)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
I've never heard of or caught my phone dialing by itself. I doubt that is a CM11 or JBX issue.

I listen to music from my SD card (over bluetooth or headphone jack to amp) for 2-5 hours a week without trouble. Maybe your SD card contacts are dirty and need cleaning. I would also try it without using the JBX kernel or Greenify.

I don't have battery problems and don't use the JBX kernel. You should try things without the JBX kernel, the CM11 kernel doesn't have any problems. There is nothing wrong with the JBX kernel but I would call using that an advanced or beta area, especially if you are changing settings in Trickster. Try the basics first before complicating things with custom kernels, Greenify, etc.

Next nightly & M8 Snapshot

The M8 snapshot is rolling out today. And between the M8 and the holiday weekend, the nightly build is backed up with a lot of changes. The pending changes cover LTE/APN/Bluetooth/codecs/torch/camera/omap4/etc... I hope that the next nightly goes smoothly and provides fixes without any / many new bugs...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] omonoid:
Ok it sounds like I should ditch the JBX kernel and see if my problems go away. I got it to optimize battery life to begin with. As far as the music goes, i didn't have the problem on stock firmware which makes me believe it is not hardware. I think it may be the JBX governor switching CPU freq or something.

To get rid of JBX would i have to do a clean install and reconfigure my apps and such, or can i just flash CM11 over everything? I'm still not sure on how that all works.

As for the dialing glitch,.,. I dont know what to say other than i hope it doesnt happen again. The only wayu i stopped it was by power cycling. It kept trying to redial even when i was turning it off. Maybe a touchscreen glitch??

I'm still all ears for the best way to get the most juice. I use wifi awt work and home, but keep it off when i know i dont need it. I use navigation for at most 30 min a day, and i listen to music alot (no internet required). Ive got greenify set up to monitor pretty much all my apps
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddmclw:
M8......downloaded and going to install. Fingers crossed!

Running great! MMS sends, data handoffs seem to be working fine. See how it handles a full day, but so far so good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wilkster:
If you made a backup of your kernel when you first installed JBX, then just reflash JBX from TWRP and you will have the option to restore the CM11 kernel (it is actually running a script when you flash it, so JBX won't be installed). If you didn't create a backup, then you can just reflash the CM11 ROM (without wiping system). GAPPS should remain installed. If that step causes issues then wipe /system, relfash CM11 and GAPPS. In any case your installed apps (/data) should all remain intact.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Fun and educational story, there is a place for that here. :)

OMG, raw, all the way from Matt's Utility? Eeeks! I can remember when that happened to me. Not once, but twice in the same week! How? Using ClockworkMod ROM Manager. First time was ignorance, CWM works SO good on the Droid X and Galaxy Tab, what other choice was there? Dumb, try reading a bit, Ohmster. :(

Yeah, I waxed it but good with the install of CWM and rebooting. "Encryption Error, use factory reset." Huh, okay, NOT happening, AT ALL. Oh this blows, ...for real? Yeah, for real. So I bit the bullet, did Matt and started totally from scratch. Got the stock rom back, desktop back, and cm10 for daily use. Did it all in days, working madly on it. Got it all done, really.

Then, what do I find on the net? "ClockworkMod ROM Manager, Black Edition", just fresh out the oven, for sure to work fine with Razr Phones. Ignorant fool that I was, I jumped for it. Let me take a minute to make a point, had I taken a minute, even 30 seconds to just READ the follow up posts to the software, I would have read that it does not work, at all, and will brick your Razr Phone. But I don't take a minute to read. I mean, it is on the internet so, it has to work, right?

...oh no. It doesn't. It was regular CWM with a skin on it or something, same thing, "Encryption Error". OMG NO! :crying:

So I did it all over again in the same week. At least I was good at it by now. But really, really tired of all this, there must be a better way. Found Safe Strap and started to read a little more, understanding how follow up posts are really important when downloading or doing anything important like this. Been on the same stock rom ever since but have gone clean with CM11 since them to iron out old, recurrent bugs.

War Stories. Good for the newbies and it makes a nice read for the experienced again. My black screens come and go and although I have yet to actually "see and APN issue", I do believe it and it tends to come at the same time I get black screens. Sometimes weeks of bad builds, good build comes, phone rock solid and stays that way, until something else gets into the build. Last time USB Host Bridge issue, this time, Theme Engine becomes activated. It hasn't gotten better since but at least I can use the phone now, the screen is ah, a tad "delayed".

I will try a clean install again, but not now. Waiting on necessary medication and I have the attention span of a gnat. Good story, thanks Brian. :D

Speaking of the DX, It has a basically bugless CM11 port, ported by [MENTION=5525731]Aaahh[/MENTION] and maintained by [MENTION=4338887]m.ksy[/MENTION], with TWRP 2.7.1.0, and today, it received a safestrap 3.7.5 port! Check out the thread on XDA!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

Could anyone help to verify if this is a common issue ?

There are at least 3 people have this problem here.

Two are same scenario when using HDMI.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
You had me excited! I've got a droid x I keep around for a spare with vortex on it and I was all ready to jump on it. Then i read the OP... By basically bugless we mean no Bluetooth audio and funky colors in the camera? Oh well, I'm still going to keep an eye on it!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icarome:
I also experienced this. And I got a delay in audio when using HDMI... Is it just with me?

Why isn't there M8 yet for umts_spyder?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
T I know people are all excited for M8 - it's not available for the XT910 yet, but I usually skip them anyways. But back to 07072014..

OK. I have sort of been aware of black screens (usually when waking phone up) but today was bad. I got a call and it stayed black forever. Eventually it accepted my blind slide (after being non-responsive) but even after the call had ended the screen remained off.

I have no issues with simply flashing updates on top without ever doing a clean install. But with people always talking bad of it, I can't help but feel that every time I flash an update, I'm making my phone more unstable and due for a clean install. But I know it is not really bad to simply update. My last clean install was 14062014 (and this because after a major update to my theme, my phone was left in some sort of boot loop.).

Anyone else experience black screens with this build? Didn't notice any black screens on 01072014.

Something on the side: I just read that the XT912 uses a standard sim and not a micro, like the XT910, really?

Still wish I had a 912 since it does both CDMA and GSM. But it wouldn't make sense, since we use GSM here. But I like the idea of being able to use CDMA should the need ever arise

[Motorola Droid RAZR] kburt8:
I have an XT912 and a Droid 4 and am getting ready to sell them both. SS 3.73 is failing to wipe the internal SD card. Any advice?

Also, how is the M8 with regards to APN? Want to sell them on a good build.

Settings FC

Anyone else getting a force close when trying to open Settings on the M8 Snapshot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] deboyz1014:
Yup, FC on setting here also.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I see so much interest every time a snapshot is coming out, I just thought I'd restate for the sake of any new people on the thread:

Snapshots are NOT more stable or bug-free than most nightly builds, they are not more polished nor by any means safer. Furthermore, they are usually an 'older' build than the current nightlies, and contain bugs that have already been eliminated. They represent a "reference point" and are the only builds which CyanogenMod will accept bug reports on. For device specific news, developments and help/advice: you're in the right place on this thread! Listen to what most people report, try to resist the urge to jump on the latest and greatest if you NEED your phone to be totally reliable, and stick with the builds most people report working well.

FWIW: I'm still running 7/02, no concerns, waiting for the fallout to settle from some of the latest commits. Can't wait for the base to become stable enough for them to start adding more after market features to the ROM! [emoji776]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wilkster:
There was a note in the announcement about end of june cutoff for nightly compatibility, can't recall the exact date. It may require a clear data for settings, which is a pain i know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kburt8:
M releases are, on average, more stable than nightlies. The kernel and ROM are selected from the most stable recent nightly builds. There may be unforseen issues with some M releases, but it is generally far superior to flashing a random nightly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
I'm on 07/09 Nightly. Been on for about 24 hours. Incredibly fast, no problems at all so far. Great build.

I'm also using "Allow purging of assets" and "Kernel samepage merging" under performance settings/memory management. That and I've been using the "SD Maid" app to keep things running smoothly. Specifically the "Optimize Databases" section (Runs the SQL command VACUUM) to rebuild the databases. My XT912 has never run so fast on such a solid build. Loving it. Keeping my over 2 year old Razr Maxx alive!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
I like 7/9 as well. My only problem, that won't go away, is the APN error. I think what causes it is when someone sends me several photos in a row or if I am in a group text. One MMS here and there and it does fine. But if someone sends me 5 photos, for example, I get the APN missing error. I tried everyone's fixes and the only thing that works is to wipe cache, dalvik, and secure. Also, the NV setting seems to work better for me at limiting the APN error compared to RUIM/SIM. No idea what those even mean...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
I have been generally happy with 7/7. Got my first orange bars today.

Sad to say I will be leaving the XT912 soon. Pre-ordered my G3 today, it has been a solid run.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
I think I am right behind you. Although I plan on keeping this phone as a toy. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Then there are those of us who don't want to lose unlimited data and can't afford a new phone. Unless someone gives me a hand me down GS3 or GS4, I'm here for the foreseeable future. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eightrac:
You and me both, I actually upgraded to this from a terrible Galaxy Nexus.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Anyone tried ART lately? Or running it currently/for a while? I try it every couple months, system runs fast and responsive initially but slowly becomes unstable. Better luck with newer builds?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
I will be keeping mine as a spare likely.

I didn't lose my unlimited, nor did I buy off contract. Add a line workaround, still isn't cheap. Believe me I do understand cost, I remember when phones were much less. I also remember the good ol' days of being able to upgrade w/o losing unlimited. I have been on this device since it came out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
[MENTION=719744]GTiceman[/MENTION] Yeah, faced with losing unlimited anyway, I think on the 17th I'm going to take my three RAZRs to the Allset prepaid option, it's only 500 Meg data, but everyone will just have to use WiFi. I'll save $135/month, and on one disability income, that ain't chicken feed!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Ain't that the truth. Prices are crazy

This is wierd! Can someone tell to cyano team where they put UMTS_spyder snapshot m8 link? I can find it via ota and through mirror, but not where it should be.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Ugh, I am on 07/04 and this is when black screen first showed up. It does not stay black but takes forever to reclaim the screen again. Couple that with an incoming call and you have a problem. I was hoping someone in here would have a good review on a later build but it seems this is not the case. My latest backup is 06/29 because the builds have all been so bad, black screen is part of all the new builds. That is why I stopped backing up, none of my last month plus have all been black screens so bad that they are not worth saving.

BTW, I never use or install snapshots anymore. I got caught up with it like anyone else, but these snapshots are nothing special and are always outdated for nightly users like us.

Hey, would you have a copy of that 07/02 rom by any chance?

Thanks for the heads up, Brian. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Spyder Downloads for snapshot. That is where you get it. Not saying that it is a very good rom, but here is what you asked for.

These rom links are good for all the CyanogenMod roms. At top left you can pick what you want under TYPE. There you can pick snapshot, nightly, stable, whatever you want.

Here are all the zip files available and the list does not go far. Bookmark these pages for help in the future.

Hope this helps. :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
The first link points at the "normal" version, not the "umts_spyder" version that it seems lacking of M8 yet. I thought that using ROM's for other devices was a big no no but since it's you who posted it, maybe I was wrong?? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] macondo62:
Thank you, but if you pay more attention i'm refering to umts aka xt910 not spyder aka xt912.

You'll just have to download it via ota. That's the only place I see it as well. I'm on 09072014 nightly and seems OK.

I think that link is a dynamic link page. On the top left of the page, it says "Types". To show you what you want, although I didn't realize it would give an ambiguous link. Here, try this:

Browse Files for Motorola Razr - umts_spyder

That should be what you are looking for. Sorry 'bout that. :p

910 phones are something I do not have nor could I help very much with. But a download link is something I can do.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Lol Ohmster, you see, he's looking for the M8 snapshot for the XT910. Your link is correct, but you'll notice the M8 snapshot is not there. You can find it OTA though.

I just want to get him in the right area. On that page, top left, is a "Types" button you can click on to find the snapshots. It is hard to get a direct URL to the snapshot page and what he wants may not even be there. But it is the best I could do and no one else was helping.

Thanks for helping me out Casper. :cowboy:

install over stock

Hey, I'm using the nightly's since they started coming out and I'm pretty happy with them (no problems so far). I'm installing them on another slot via Safestrap keeping my original (stock) rom intact. The thing is I'm never using it. Is there any guide or pro/cons on how to install cm11 as the only OS on my phone? Or is it as easy as flashing over the stock slot (how about root, recovery and stuff). Hope you could understand what I meant and you would guide me in the right direction :) Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
the usual way to flash on stock is: boot to recovery,activate main slot,wipe -> advanced -> tick everything instead of internal and external storage ->wipe

then just install cm11 + gapps!

that was it :D

Btw grüße aus germersheim,ich wohne grad um die ecke :P
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gruev:
but what about root and recovery. I installed those through stock. Will I have to reroot/reinstall some recovery? Or are these changes deeper?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Safestrap Recovery stays,even after the wipe,just wipe as said before and the install those zips,cm11 comes prerooted,after install finished u can install ss again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
So I came back to this process to see if I could get the stock APN working. Turns out, I also needed to do a cache, dalvik cache, and android secure wipe to get it to work. Just resetting the APN and rebooting would not do it for me. I think I might have finally solved my APN problems!! Thanks [MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION]! I wonder what it would take to get this APN in the bot builder for the the xt912? :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
I'm giving this a shot. Just before replacing the apn-conf.xml file I had the orange bars. After replacing the file and resetting defaults, reboot, wipe caches and android secure, no orange bars. As we all know they come and go. So I'll report back after a full day of use.

An issue I'm having, and haven't seen since the alpha builds, is 07/09 Nightly several times throughout the day was breaking my audio. Phone just stopped putting out any sound. Reboot fixes it, but would come back. Just updated to 07/12 and immediately had the sound issue again. It's possible it's just the result of consistently flashing nightlies over old nightlies. I have a feeling a full wipe and reflash is in the near future :( Anyone else having this issue or is it time to start fresh?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Ok , I just received a Whatsapp message but no sound came through. Didn't experience, or maybe I just didn't notice, it on 07/09. I'm currently on 07/10.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
[MENTION=5586305]coreywallen[/MENTION]: Could be a long shot but I had a similar problem affecting my sound here and there with a few of the nightly builds. Drove me nuts and caused me to re-install and restore from back-ups while troubleshooting way too much. A big mess. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it but at the end of the day the problem turned out to be related to my Quiet Hours Settings. Had them turned on from 6:00 am to 12:00 am instead of between 12:00 am and 6:00 am. The result is no system sounds all day :p.

Not suggesting you're as much of a dumbass as me but make sure Quiet Hours are completely shut off and see if the problem persists: Settings > Sound > Quiet Hours Active from . . .

problem

Just recently I made the mistake of flashing the apn zip below on top of cm11, snapshot, m7 flavor. At the time I had Axxion in slot 2 and was attempting to fix a mms issue with that ROM. A case of mistaken romslots...Bonehead mistake I know. I realized the mistake before rebooting so I thought I would just wipe, delete the slot, and restore my backup cm11 made just a week or so earlier. My restore failed and when I try to do a new install, the ROM will install, but the gapps fail when I flash them. I've tried several wipes and clean installs and restores with no luck.. I really want to run cm11..

If anyone can help me work through this embarrassing mistake I would greatly appreciate it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
Try restoring your backup one more time. When you get the "restore failed" message at the end, don't wipe anything - just try to restore your backup one more time, this time only choosing to restore the system partition.

I often get restore failed messages after attempting a full device restore followed by a "no system installed" message if I try to re-boot. The system restore always sticks the second time around for me . . . and I never have problems with a restored from backup OS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
[MENTION=5212827]dwh2o13[/MENTION] If it's failing on the gapps install, try recreating the slot and bumping up the system partition size. You might have done that originally when creating the slot for cm11, that would cause your restore to fail also...
