I agree with this. Sounds like your GApps are too large. Not sure which you are using by I use the PA GApps mini modular. A lot of the larger packages will fail if there isn't enough space available.

I appreciate the suggestion! haha I did go through and check to be sure it wasn't quiet hours but they are set correctly, and even so, quiet hours shouldn't effect media volume like Spotify. The issue is persisting on the 7/12 build. Really dreading starting fresh...too many apps have data i dont want to lose...never used Titanium Backup for restoring...anyone know if its safe to restore app data when starting fresh with new build? Thanks guys!

UPDATE: Just updated to 7/14...looks like theres several updates related to audio. Hopefully the problem wont persist.

This APN has been excellent...getting 4G in areas I've previously only had 3G, reduced if not next to eliminated orange bars also. Thank You! Just gonna have to remember to put them in each time I update CM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] msuguy71:
The APN change did not work for me. I get no connection even after wiping the caches. I renamed the old APN to APNold.xml. That is not a problem is it? I am frequently losing LTE where I used to have it all the time on stock. Also have orange bars somewhat frequently.

Have the Verizon xt912.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
If you've renamed the old file but kept it in the same location it shouldn't cause an issue.

Be sure you followed the steps:

1. Replace apn-conf.xml in "/etc"

-You also kept the old file in same location but renamed to APNold.xml (Should be fine but just in case maybe you should move that file to your downloads location just so it's not in the way and you have it backed up just in case.)

2. Change permissions for new apn-conf.xml to -rw-r--r-- (maybe you missed this step?)

3. Go into APN settings and reset to default

4. Reboot to Recovery

5. Wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, and Android Secure (I do this 3 times. Probably unnecessary but I like to be sure it's all clear)

6. Fix Permissions under Advanced (Just in case)

7. Reboot System

If you've done all that then I'm not sure. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Renaming the APN so my script doesn't erase it is fine, the system won't see it any more. my2cents said he also had to wipe android secure before it worked for him. Finally, your mileage may vary; there are those for whom the swap doesn't seem to help no matter what.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
These are the exact steps that I did. However, I just replaced the old APN file without backing it up. I also made sure that my "preferred network type" was set to Global and the "CDMA subscription" was set to RUIM/SIM. Another reboot may be necessary if you make those changes. It took a minute or so after the first reboot for LTE to pop up. But after that it locks fast.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

By the way, I installed the verizon APN on 7/11. Then I took the OTA for 7/14. The APN made it through the OTA! So you might only have to do this trick if you wipe the system or delete the slot. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
One of two things going on here, the system creates an editable copy in ' /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/' that would survive an update until you 'reset to default', when it will be overwritten by the copy in '/system/etc/'. The other possibility is that 7/14 may not have the problem. [emoji15]

Thanks man.. I had no luck with the restore, but I did try a new install of the M7 version paired with the pa_micro_mini gapps. I did get a successful install this time. I'll be playing with this for a day or so.. I'd like to give the M8 version a try. Just to confirm, what gapp package is recommended? I've been flashing in 3g slot sizes.

Thanks again for your help...much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
You're using the most popular gapps version AFAIK, but the important point is to make sure the SYSTEM partition size is increased slightly from the default to make room if you use a larger gapps package, otherwise the increased space is used for the data partition to give you more room for regular apps.

It may be just me, but I wouldn't waste the time with m7, the 7/09 nightly build has been running great for me since it was released, and is a newer build than m8. Most people on here are running nightlies rather than snapshots.

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dwh2o13:
I'll give the nightly a try then using the same gapps. Do you still suggest bumping up the system partition size. If so, is there a preferred size? I have romslot2 running, so I have a tad more than 4g left over for slot one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Just wondering if the APN fix can be integrated into the CM builds. Is this possible, or has it already been done?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
My understanding was that an expanded APN file was already integrated into the builds over a month ago, but then the problem keeps showing up for some people. Some have told me my zips are the best thing for them since sliced bread; others think I'm selling them snake oil in a carny!

With the help of a couple of decent guys, I've looked at what their APNs looked like when they were running fine, and they ain't the same! Almost makes me envy the Dev, stargo, he's in Germany on GSM and not stateside trying to figure out Verizon's logic!

Long story short, xt912 on stock ROM = no problems, xt912 on AOSP (etc) = APN and orange bar and MMS headaches! Forever? No, but the best devs are working on other issues right now, and we may have to be patient or figure it out ourselves. [emoji29]

That commit requires a change that is in the new 7/15 nightly: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/67996/1

Spontaneous Reboot Problem

Is anyone else having a problem with spontaneous reboots?

It nearly always happens while I am using Google Maps to navigate. My phone is getting very hot while navigating. Could this be an overheating problem causing the phone to reboot? Or is there a problem with Google Maps? The problem did seem to first appear after one of the most recent Google Map updates.

Thanks for any confirmation or suggestions on what to check or try to help solve the problem.

I noticed another issue with the 7/14 nightly. My razr no longer responds to my docks (Motorola HD dock and car dock), and audio over USB is not working (Motorola car dock). Not sure which nightly broke these two things. Anyone else having this issue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
I think this is a google maps issue. I get the same thing on my Nexus 10 and on my XT912 while using google maps.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

I've been having audio issues, random sound cutting out until reboot, since 07/09. They all could be related but I don't have a dock to test the audio.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
Mine responds to being docked but audio over USB with the car dock cable doesn't work (it didn't work with the Verizon OTA either.) I also have no audio output over HDMI (but this does work in the Verizon OTA.)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Interesting, I stupidly bought one of the audio/USB cables for my car so I didn't have to mess with two cables every time I got in and out, then found out they won't even CHARGE the phone without the mobile dock! I've been promising myself I'd pick up a RAZR or bionic dock so I could grab the circuit out of it and make a jig to plug in my Maxx even of it's in my Otterbox, but now I'm concerned if some unknown commit has hosed that ability. I'll be interested in your experiences.

What is supposed to happen when you put the phone in dock? Mine used to go portrait some time ago. On 10/07 it does absolutely nothing in dock. I just have the dock which I plug the charger into, no audio or anything like that.

I don't have a car dock. Just the dock with HDMI out, a charge point and probably an audio out connector (never used it).

Daydream is supposed to run while docked but it doesn't. It's like it doesn't even know it's docked, all it does is charge if the charger is connected.

Edit: OK, well put daydream to activate when charging, but it does not activate...

Edit2: Might've been a little hasty there. Daydream does activate when set to start when charging. But not while docked.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
I don't know if the audio out via USB using the car dock worked when the phone was new with the ICS ROM; I didn't have an aux jack in my car stereo at that time.

I'd never tried using that usb/audio cable without the dock, I just tried it to see what would happen. In my case the phone does charge the same as in the dock. When I plug the audio patch cable into the usb/audio cable, nothing at all happens, music continues playing from the phone speaker.

With the phone in the dock and the usb/audio cable connected. The car dock symbol shows in the status bar (and if I have car dock software installed it will run.) If I plug the patch cable into the usb/audio cable, music stops playing through the phone speaker but nothing is output to the stereo. (The same patch cable works fine in the headphone jack outputting to the car stereo aux jack.)

I have tried a different audio/usb cable with the same results. I've checked the connectors in the cable(s), phone and car dock for damage like bent missing contacts; everything looks fine. The behavior is the same with the Verizon ROM.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Mine goes into landscape mode if the car dock is oriented that way and stays in portrait mode otherwise. I'm currently on 07/16 and the dock functionality (aside from the usb audio in my previous post) has always worked correctly for me on the CM11 nightlies. (This is with the Motorola dock and it senses dock mode when the dock power connector is slid into the connected position.)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LordGarth:
Mine does as well but not limited to Google Maps. It does appear to become sluggish just before it reboots. Having said that it's not so often that I would want to give up the CM11 functionality especially now that it's becoming mature. I suppose I should look into what caused the reboots, but that's my day job and I really don't want to have to be a systems admin to my phone. :)

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Sometimes my USB Audio through the car dock doesn't activate and I pull it in and out a couple of times and that usually fixes it. I do seem to recall this happening on stock firmware as well. One thing that always worked with stock but still does not with CM11 is my phone audio will not route through the USB Audio. That is to say even when USB audio was working for say a podcast, the phone would ring, I switch it off hook, but the audio reverts to the phone ear speaker.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Mine has rebooted while running some other apps, but google maps really seems to aggravate the problem. I rarely can navigate to my destination before my phone reboots (usually just when I need navigation the most :( )

Any suggestions on how to track the problem down? I would really like to help the developers (either CM or Google) to identify and hopefully fix this problem. I use navigation a lot and this is becoming a showstopper for me. I do really like CM, but I need my phone to work better for navigation.

Guys, is there any way to test if my HDMI port is working or not? I don't have a cable. I only have the dock but it's not doing anything other than charging and it's bugging me a lot.

Hmmm. Weird.

I personally haven't tried that build - I'm on 16/07. How did you flash it? And did you do anything else maybe? Unless it's truly the build with the problem.. Just can't imagine it to be.

BTW, anyone else seeing Google search not responding pop-ups on 16/07?

Oh and I got an HDMI cable today and plugged it into a TV. Worked fine. So I wonder why dock isn't doing anything for me - at least even forcing the phone into landscape like it did previously.

hi guys,

im the still happy owner of a razr maxx, some month ago i loaded the 10.2-20131206-nightly

and it's working but not so good, it's pretty slower than stock version and the battery is far away

from the 5 days of the stock version.

now i would update to a new nightly and im not following the forum since december

so im asking advice to you about the number of the nightly to load to have a faster phone

less bugs and less battery drain :P

and if u can even the way to upgrade now im on safestrap of course ...

tnx a lot

I have been running the CM11-20140710 nightly for a week. Battery drain is not good at all. I flashed the latest SlimKat build on slot 2. Although it's only been a day of testing, battery life is outstanding compared to the base CM11.

Mic

Hello,

I am having some major problem with my XT910 - exactly with microphone. It has very weak sound when I am speaking with someone. The same situation is with CM11 and with SlimKat. Is there any solution or other people has the same problem ?w
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I changed to ondemand. If it does reboot what sort of information would you like me to collect?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I have been away for a while so I do not know the nature of the reboots. But when stargo asks for logs, he needs the dmesg file immediately after the event,

cat dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

You have to grab the dmesg file within hours or new data will fill the mesg file, pushing out the older data. You can enter the above command from a Terminal window.

And system logs filtered to show the event. Use a log reader like CatLog and in the Filter box, try some terms relevant to the event such as power, reboot, kernel, and anything you can think of that might work. If power for a filter shows the power service shutting down, look at the date and time of the event, if it coincides with the time/date of the reboot, then you have something. Save filtered log to file.

It is hard to "know" what the search filter word should be and I wish that stargo would give us filter terms, but power seems to be a good one to start with. Read the details, see if it has to do with your issues.

Good luck, Dwillian! :good:

Just installed the 7/19 nightly. On the last few nightlies I have tried since 7/2, I have had horrible LTE service in areas where I have always had great LTE service. Tonight, I have no LTE service. My APN is set to EHRPD-Verizon Internet. If I choose LTE - Verizon Internet, I lose my data connection.

Anyone have any idea what is going on? Where can I find previous nightlies past the currently listed ones on the nightlies build page?

EDIT:

Ok, after reading some more on the interwebs, it seems that the baseband version installed using Matt's Utility is the problem. It installed version CDMA_N_05.21.00R and it should be CDMA_N_05.21.00R LTEDC_U_09.1D.00

EDIT 2:

So, I went back to stock again and did the OTA update. I am also having LTE problems on that rom. Guess I will have to call Verizon in the AM.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
...oh my! I have been so watching from the shadows for a report of a decent, working cm11 rom to come along and it is all junk. A month of straight, unusable junk. So much for updating. :(

You are going to call Verizon? Eeek! They cannot help you with custom roms. That is a TOS violation and a warranty violation. They will give you factory reset procedure to follow and when that does not work, things get a little sticky. If the phone is under warranty, they would ask that it be returned for service. Once the Verizon unauthorized rom is discovered, your warranty and possible your service would be voided. I am only telling you this because I have done the Verizon help/reset procedure and for sure, that cm11 or Matt's Utility rom would void Verizon's rules.

You can try but be careful. If they start to get suspicious or want the phone, you can say never mind. Once I rooted and rommed my phone, I knew I would have to service it myself. I do have insurance so for a $100 deductible, they will send a factory rebuilt phone and won't hassle you about the old one. Drop it in water or say it was stolen, the insurance covers it. Good luck. :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
FWIW: Matt's utility option #1 is EXACTLY the same as using RSD lite to reflash a factory image. At that point you have an unrooted phone without a custom recovery, and the only thing to show it was ever ROMed is the SafeStrap folders in the internal storage, and they can simply be deleted! I remember rumors of a flag Motorola designed to be set when the stock ROM is rooted which could never be reset, but, given the calibre of Verizon warranty service, I seriously doubt anyone would be looking for such a thing if it did exist... I received THREE warranty replacements from Verizon for my OGDroid, none of which worked right when I got them (the third was sent to me flashed with a prepaid ROM!), my fourth in warranty replacement was upgraded to a DX that turned out to have a duplicated MEID, it's twin was in the Midwest! I wouldn't worry about them picking through your phone looking too hard for evidence of wrongdoing! I think I'd worry more about Black Helicopters or the CIA watching me through my front camera. ;)

Yes, there is a flag. I remember looking at it before flashing and after.

Something like "qe 0 0" when not flashed, and "qe 1 0" or other when flashed. Can't quite remember. Think you can find it in stock recovery. But I can't check now because I have SafeStrap is installed, I think.

It's been pretty quiet on here lately, no build reports, no hot discussions. I'm running last night's (07/19 spyder) and haven't seen any issues yet. Just OTA'd from 07/13. My only gripe is battery life, still lags behind some other ROMs. Most seem to think slim is better on that, but they are losing their maintainer, so I'm sticking with the leader everyone else is building off from.

Frustration!!

It's been ages that I have tried to upgrade to CM11. Now just spent 2 days, uninstalled BMM for SS. And after battling like a true berserk I finally got CM11 to start up... but.... I still have no mobile network connectivity and the interface is really sluggish and glitchy even from the install. I'm OUTRAGED.

BMM was so much better than SS, sorry guys. SS is glicthy, splash screen comes on when he's in the mood and the interface is rather a pain in the arse. And foremost of all it freezes!!!! It costed me to flash back to stock at least 5 times before I finally got the CM11 M8 to finally install without an error and back to start.

Anyone knows why CM11M8 wont connect to network? I'm in Australia on Optus, and never had this problem but with CM11.

If you don't have network and if the rom is laggy then it's possible that you flashed wrong version of the rom...

That happened to me one time,I flashed spyder (xt912) version on my umts spyder (xt910),maybe you did the same thing.

I never used SS,just BMM and I don't have any problems with flashing,except in some rom zips I must replace the META-INF folder to be able to flash it.
