[MENTION=4416596]rskyline[/MENTION] what kind of phone do you have?

You have a Nexus 4 and live in Venezuela on GSM?

This is a Droid Razr XT910 7 XT912 thread. We are very experienced with cm11 since many of us have been here over a year, but we do all of our work on these devices.

If you had an XT912 I would tell you to install the [PATCH]GSM Fix for XT912 Spyder but that is for XT912 phones. What device are you using? If I cannot help you directly, then I can at least give you some good places to ask for this kind of help.

Go SMS Pro and 8SMS both go beyond traditional SMS protocol and can use the internet to make sure your messages get through, both ways. These are very good apps, much better than the My SMS app that comes with CM11.

But before any of this can work, you need not only a good cellphone service that is working, but working data service as well on the phone. If you do not have both of these prerequisites, nothing is going to work for you. So tell us again, what make and model phone do you have, where you live, and do you use GSM or CDMA?

Public Question:

My GPS Status & Toolbox that we all use to test our phones GPS function has stopped working. Normally I get the small satellite icon in the status bar when it is working and several satellites on screen. At least 6 or 7 will lock. Now it is not working at all. Keeps spinning a white arrow "Looking for GPS location" and never seems to get one. Maps work, compass works, so what is with this GPS toolbox? This just started happening now since I do not use it a lot. I cleared data, uninstalled/reinstalled it, checked my GPS is on, and tested maps. It works fine on my tablet and I get several satellites right away. Anyone else have this issue with GPS Status & Toolbox?

Edit:

GPS Fixed. I did a boot to recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, and rebooted. GPS Toolbox and everything else working with GPS. Weird man, not even navigation would work, kept saying GPS signal lost and could not track my moments. Wow, that freaked me out because I use GPS almost every day. Glad that is not a broken phone. :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rskyline:
Thanks again for your reply, don't worry about what phone I have, because right now I have a Nexus 4, moto x, droid RAZR xt912, iPhone 5c, so that's a little bit irrelevant, I know where I'm posting and is the correct place, also pretty much experience on CM since cm6 days.

Like I said my test device right now is a Verizon Wireless Droid RAZR XT912 CDMA/GSM model unlocked using a GSM simcard from movistar Venezuela, also used a Digitel and Movilnet Sim card.

I did tried your suggestion on using Go SMS pro but it didn't work at the moment, also I said that it happens only on CM because on stock it sends SMS correctly. So I'll try that GSM patch, I didn't see that here in any post I checked when I started to root and safe strap process on the RAZR.

Also you can talk with all the confident about any help/tip that could help me out to get a workaround about this issue, pretty much experienced on the flashing and custom ROM side, but no experience on the development side, more a power user. Thanks again!

Okay, got it. But if you use an XT912 overseas with GSM, you really need to install the GSM Patch that I pointed you to in the previous email. That will make it work, gave that advice several times, maybe you will be the first to tell me it didn't work? Worked for everyone else. The GSM built into the XT912 is for USA GSM Only. The Patch will allow it to work overseas, recognize your SIM card, and get you a signal. Good luck, bra! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rskyline:
Thanks for that advice! I'm pretty sure it will work flawlessly, I'll post the results tomorrow! You rock mate! [emoji110]

You are very welcome my friend. People from every country with XT912 phones come here because they cannot get signal, text, anything and as soon as they install this [PATCH]GSM Fix for XT912 Spyder these issues just "go away".

Check your GPS too with the GPS Status & Toolbox too! It is free, we all use it to check our GPS and you can see how many satellites you have to lock on to. The more, the better! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rskyline:
Worked flawlessly! Thanks again!

Hello everyone. Hello [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] ;)

I have been a very rare guest recently. I'm just busy at work and whatnot. I haven't been feeling too energetic, even typing a message here has felt like too much for me. But here I am.

Before I left you I told you I couldn't wipe cache & dalvik. I didn't bother much about it after I hit some dead end, Ohmster tried for me (much thanks to you).

Well, in SS3.75 I am unable to wipe cache/dalvik on my KK based Paranoid Android residing in stock. When I activate my rom slot with lollipop cm, I'm able to wipe cache/dalvik.

Fix: just install SS3.73; when wanting to deal with lollipop, install SS3.75.

Maybe it's because my KK ROM was initially installed with SS3.73, but whatever the reason, I'm not too bothered about small things that you can workaround.

I just actually wanted to drop-by and say 'Hi'. I will try be more active! I miss you all.

cm11

Hi folks!

Anyone have the LATEST cm11 version? It is really 404 on CM site :(

cm12 is a bit weird for me (now).

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I have the last known "good" version, 01/26. Reboot to Recovery is broken in this rom, otherwise perfect. I made it available from my dropbox so that anyone who wants it can get it. :)

All the CM11 download links are slipping away, "404 not found" if you click them. Since I really like this 01/26 build, I put it on my dropbox for those that want it. Grab it here:

cm-11-20150126-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip

md5sum: 5eed851a27fe9649e945d70dab391696

EDIT:

There is one more cm11 rom after this one, 02/02. Personally, I don't like it. It does not install well, gets the updating apps count dead wrong, requires reboots and wipes just to get running, and may require more reboots and wipes afterwards. I had a very busy workday after installing this rom and missed phone calls, had lag, and self boots. I restored my 01/26 backup. Mr. Chen is reported to get the 02/02 rom working to his satisfaction on an XT910 but "getting it to work" is not the same thing as simply upgrading. I have the 02/02 rom and can make it available upon request. But I really think you would be better off with the 01/26 build of cm11.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Mr. Chen, REQ information CM11

[MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION] can you tell me a bit more about this 02/02 cm11 build please?

This was a "stubborn" build for me to install. The OTA reboot script would not run from 01/26 and I had to reboot manually to get the update to run. The "Updating Apps" count was WAY off. After letting the rom settle for a few minutes, I rebooted, wiped dalvik and cache, and got an accurate App Count upon rebooting. The rom appeared to be alright after that. But experience shows that a rom is not "good" until it runs for a few days, goes on charge, and runs fine every day afterwards. For me, the next day after coming off charge was a nightmare. Severe lag, stuttering streaming audio, self rebooting, and FCs. Perhaps another reboot with cache and dalvik wipe would have made the rom functional. But I had too many important appointments that day and could not risk losing GPS, Navigation and Maps, or missing calls because the phone is stuck or rebooting.

So what did you have to do to get cm11 02/02 up and running to your satisfaction and how many days of rebooting/wiping did it take to finally settle in and become a "good rom"? What measures did you have to take with this 02/02 rom to get it right and how long did it take. Or did it eventually prove to be unreliable and you reverted back to 01/26?

I know you use the APM Reboot menu as I do myself, but testing on 01/26 by removing ALL APM modules showed that the rom itself could not even reboot to recovery, let alone using a module to do it. Have you tested the built in "Reboot to Recovery" Power Menu in 02/02 itself? /Settings/Developer Options/Advanced Reboot box checked? /Settings/Buttons/Power Menu/Reboot Menu checked?

I don't mean to pester you with so many questions but if the rom can be tamed with a few reboots and wipes, even if I must do it on day 2 and even so far as again on day 3, I would use it if the Reboot to Recovery issue is fixed. But rebooting/wiping every day is NOT acceptable for a rom and this must stop by day 2 or 3 at the very most. If this rom requires reboots and wipes constantly to maintain, I have to skip it. 01/26 never needed a reboot or wipe, not on day 1 or day 15 and I never shut off my phone. I put it on charge every night and that is it.

If you can help out and answer these questions, it would really help me out and all of the members who are asking for advice and CM11 downloads. I have 01/26 on dropbox and can put 02/02 up as well (Spyder XT912 ONLY) if it can be tamed and there are benefits to installing it over 01/26 such as the Reboot to Recovery Power Menu actually working.

Here is a dropbox link for 01/26 if anyone needs it:

Thanks for your time, Mr. Chen! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi Ohmster, I have no more wipes since the manual wipe to get the correct app counts. Let me try to flash back to the time of upgrading test. A TWRP backup is done before all these tests.

First I tried OTA upgrade by your test report and it does not auto reboot, but after manual reboot the install process begin, all same with your test. After OTA test I restored the backup for next test. Second test is "reboot to recovery" from APM+ twice and end with self-shutdown after seeing the running circle. Third test is CyanDelta, sorry that I can't remember I actually installed from CyanDelta or manually dirty flash from recovey, but I upgrade to 02/02 after the two tests mentioned before.

After upgrade to 02/02 version. I wiped cache/dalvik-cache and reboot again to get the correct app counts. After that I install xposed process from xposed menu and reboot again. Then reboot third time to make sure everything works, including "reboot to recovery" from APM+, all work well. Every reboot during upgrade were wait at least 15 minutes for next reboot. Since then it works well for my daily usage. Tested with HDMI to TV, GPS navigator apps, Bluetooth connect to headset and GARMIN nuvi navigator, and stream video by Viral Popup on 3G and WiFi network. After that I only reboot to upgrade PA-GApps and no additional reboot needed.

About the lag after off charging, could you try to disable greenify to test if lag were caused by waking apps? I know you use greenify to put some apps to sleep but maybe some of them were needed byr phone. I've encountered once on official FB apps which cause my phone lag every time opening FB app. And no random self-reboot and FCs since I upgrade to 02/02.

I'm not a heavy user about smart phone but just try to help others as I can. Hoping I can help you to make your phone more stable. If any problem please let me know, thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BigCrisco39:
3G is working. LTE as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DR650SE:
OK so I started using CM11, and I liked parts of it. What I didn't. Like was that there was no quick unlock for the screen when secured with a pin. Also I was having wifi drops and it wouldn't connect. It would also screen freeze from time to time.

I only use the phone on wifi since I'm deployed. So that's very important to me.

As a result I went back to CM10.2 10-7-13 nightly with has great wifi.

Unfortunately CM10.2 has lots of screen freezes, and on reboot a lot of times it can't read the SD card.

What I'd like to know is what is the last very stable build without any issues? Even if it's CM 9, I'd like a fully working wifi phone.

With the slow down in XT912 development, I don't see there being to much stability on the new builds for a while.

Let me know the last and best stable build without screen freezing, wifi drops, or SD card issues. Thanks!!

WiFi autoconnect solution

I faced with problem on last CM11, and on last SlimKat.

Using Wifi toggle on, the Wifi didn't connect to saved networks until enter to wifi network list.

Almost same as old issue:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58230#makechanges

I found a fix application:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer

It erases saved network. I restored them again by Titanium.

Probably it is related to Google backup&reset feature which I use.

You need to switch off it before fix. May be it is not secessary.

So now using a Wifi widget the network connected in 1 second but not 1 minute.

I'm having this issue with Es file explorer. It gives me an 'invalid path' error when i try to access SD card. What am i doing wrong. Didn't have that problem with 4.2 or 4.3
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ivan11235:
Sorry I can't see attached image.

Do you use /storage/sdcard1 ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] halifage:
Yes but when i click on it i get three invalid part error. There's also SD card0 and it also gives me the same error. Seems like the SD card is mounted on device.

What can I do? I only get this on 4.4 roms
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seaquel:
FYI, the most stable ROM for my XT910 is official CM10.1.3. No issues at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BigCrisco39:
SD card fix.

Take out card.

Boot phone.

Then insert card and mount.

Worked for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DR650SE:
Thanks. Haven't tried inserting it with the phone on that I remember. But that's a big pain in the neck every time I have to restart due to a screen freeze. Especially since the phone is in an otterbox defender case. I'll see if the mentioned wifi fix helps. If not I'll roll to the last stable build. 10.1.3 if need be.

WiFi works for me. No problem if there is a problem you might want to recalibrate WiFi with terminal emulator.

My SD would disappear after 5 min after boot. But now it's fine. 2 days and I still have SD.

Apprently not because when i manually access that path i get my sdcard.

But on the shortcuts (history) both SDcard0 and SDcard1 seem not to be there and I get the 'invalid path' error.

Is it possible to change the default paths in ES file explorer?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dkahs23:
Yeah I think the SD card thingy has been happening a lot with Kit Kat. What I have found is boot into recovery and erase dalvik and cache then reboot and everything will come back.

2-2-15 Nightly

I have been running this since it came out and it has been running pretty well with no major issues. It did initially give an off app count but I went back into recovery and wiped the cache and dalvic and since then I haven't had any problems. The advanced reboot menu is working and I haven't come across anything out of the ordinary.

One thing I have done is get rid of the full Facebook app from the play store and instead I have installed the 'Facebook lite' app and it 'feels' like that helped. I also went through and disabled quite a few apps and all of the live wallpapers. And I also use greenify.

As it has now been over a week since the last / final CM11 Nightly build, I am hoping that there will be a final M13 Snapshot build soon so that I can test it and hopefully move it to my stock slot.

Which is better 01/26 or 02/02?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] omn1990:
Hi my friends. Can u tell me how long does your battery keep charges in cm11 ? is it make difference to update the kernel from 3.0.8 to 3.31 about battery? Thanks before
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Razr on CM11 has good battery life. 8-12 hours with moderate phone use, an hour or so of talking. Less if you spend a lot of time talking. If you do absolutely nothing with except leave it turned on, the battery can last for days. WiFi HotSpot will heat up the phone and kill the battery in under 4 hours, maybe 3? WiFi turned on constantly will use more battery but is not that bad. Same for Bluetooth.

I use the stock CM11 kernel, 3.0.8. By saying 3.31 kernel I imagine you are talking about the JBX custom kernel. Yes, the JBX kernel does have a "Battery Friend" mode that is reported to extend battery life at the expense of cutting back on some of the performance options. JBX also offers an overclock feature to run your normally topped out phone from 1,200MHz to 1,300 MHz but you sure will not save any battery by enabling it. So JBX is really only going to help with battery performance if you enable the Battery Friend option, ONLY. If you install it and start messing with performance tweaks, you can throw that extra battery life out the window.

In my opinion, JBX is really good if you want your phone to scream in performance at the expense of battery life. Other than that, there are so many additional tweaks that are difficult to understand and are best left unchanged. Plus, it is a huge benefit to consolidate your system tweaks in one place such as the CM11 Settings/Performance menu.

However, some, few, members have poor battery performance no matter what. Still have no answer for it. These guys got it bad, too. Their battery graph looks like a steep cliff, 4-6 hours and the phone is DEAD. This is NOT a common issue though, only a few members have reported this.

There are some good battery saving techniques outlined in the online guide listed in my signature. HTH :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
I think the count of apps which needed to optimize was decided during boot process. If apk file is same with previous one, it may not need to re-optimize for fast booting. For example, when you flash newer PA-GApps zip which only one app was upgraded actually, you will see only ONE app need to re-optimize, not all of them. Dirty-flash means we keep old cache/dalvik-cache which were generated during optimization and wipe cache/dalvik-cache will FORCE it to re-generate them ALL. Some rom flash guide will suggest to do the wipe after EVERY flash to make sure cache/dalvik-cache are up to date. There is also an option "Wipe Cache" in CyanDelta settings, which means it's not a unusual action for rom flash but in normal days may not be a good thing. :p

I'm using 02/02 version because of the "Reboot to recovery" is failed in 01/26. No problems so far.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You know, the explanation about the app count is as good as any, because I do not know for sure what is happening. I got 02/02 installed and so far, so good!

Thanks for your complete reply dear [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]

So Why we didnt have a specified app so we can compare our battery life together and determine that whom battery is corrupet ? An app that performe an action like benchmarking apps and measure how much battery drains.. It should be a way to do that!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sShadowSs:
It looks like the latest Google Play Services update is the culprit of the stronger battery drain. A lot of people are complaining about it in the comments section on the Play Store.

I did a test for this myself - I have a Razr MAXX and used CM 10.1.3 as my daily driver for many months. I could easily go from 7am to 10, 11pm with average usage and still have at least 35-40% battery life left on the phone. So here's what I did - I re-installed 10.1.3, restored my apps but did not install Google apps like Fit, Maps, Google+ which require the update to Google Plus Services. Running the phone as usual unplugged from 7am until 10, 11pm actually had me left with around 10% battery life. I did this for a few days with same battery results and then installed the apps that require new Play Services and did the update on it. My phone barely lasted 12 hours unplugged. Even following the Greenify tutorial by [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] the phone would just die on me by the evening time and that's all on CM 10.1.3.

Next I installed CM11 1/26 nightly, restored my apps with TB, froze things I don't need/use, Greenified, and now the phone still lasts about 10 hours unplugged with average usage.

So I guess this does narrow things down to the Google Play Services mostly being the culprit of bad battery life, plus our batteries being a few years old most likely also starting to take a toll on them.

That's the basics anyways, quote is a couple of years old now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
On all CM builds, there are no more stable builds, there are only Nightlies and Snapshots ('M' builds) - the Snapshots are supposed to be "stable" in comparison, as they are more of a feature rollup of the completed features from the prior round of nightly testing, however they are prone to issues only a little less than the nightlies.

On CyanogenMod there is NO more "Stable" build release, hence why some of the frequent posters in this thread have come to run down build reports on the other versions, simply to provide a good basis on which verions to load if you want to run CM.

I can only hope that once CM12 is up to at least one "M" build that such reports will start flowing for that release too. This is, of course, reliant upon a decision of which version of CM11 will become everyones "Daily Driver/Stock install" to free up our slots for CM12 testing!
