[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hello Casper,

When I mentioned the build report and how well the past few roms work, I was really hoping that you would see it and get off that old rom you have and enjoy some of the benefits of the current roms available. For volume bar disappearing, I assume you mean that when you press the hard buttons for volume up or down, you see the visible on screen slider appear to indicate the present volume level. You can also move that slider with your finger when it is shown on screen to adjust your volume level. This is what you mean, yes?

That bar, whether set to single, expandable, or expanded, should display this bar and then disappear within a couple of seconds. Not many as the bar itself obscures a portion of the screen so we do want it to go away quickly. But not so quickly that you cannot see or use it. You mention that toggling to any other state would make it reappear. I don't think the UI on an XT910 would be any different than the XT912, the difference is mainly in the radio. [MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] has been popping in recently and has an XT910, hopefully he will see this and clean up any errors I might make about the device.

You should not have a problem like this. The recent roms have all been very good. How do you update? Do you use the OTA update method from the /Settings/About Phone/CyanogenMod Updates? I do this and it works very well.

One thing I noticed just now while typing this up is that my current rom, 10/27, it did not want to wake the screen and I had such difficulty, I had to do a hard reset. This is the first time I saw it and it might not mean anything. But I will go back to 10/26 if I see this again. What I want for you to do is a cleaner install to freshen your system. Dwillian came up with a very clever way to update and clean your system out so that it will be fresh. I call it "The Dwillian Dump" and it is fast and easy to do. Would you like to try it? Get the rom zip file you want on the phone, try 10/26, and follow Dwillian's procedure. Forget about the optional Google Play file.

Dwillian Dump:

Give this a try Casper, what you are really doing is deleting the entire system on the phone so that when you flash the rom again, there will be no "crud" leftover to contaminate your current rom. Go back one date on the rom, I am seeing an issue in 10/27 that might be nothing, but if you use 10/26 or 10/25, this should not affect you.

People are now getting comfortable with each other in the group and are exchanging their cartoon avatars for real pictures of themselves. This is fantastic, it shows we have trust in each other and helps a lot when you can see the person you are talking to. For example, Brian Hughes and myself got into a bit of a heated discussion on electronics because I had not idea of his background. Is he a school kid, a hobbyist, a Heathkit builder, or does he have real electronics experience. He does, his new avatar shows that this is a very experienced and skilled aerospace engineer with full FCC qualifications. You are no longer "Homer Simpson", but a real life great guy who does not bother anyone, is always helpful, and you are a terrific guy, Casper.

Want to try out that Dwillian Dump and let me know how it goes? I have to run give a ride to a friend. Take care my friend. :)
