Well, I decided to increase my 16gb SD to 32gb (it will arrive today). 64gb would've been nice, but I don't have money to "waste" at the moment.

I currently have the Sandisk Ultra 16gb, and am getting a Verbatim Class 10, 32gb. It's not the best card, but for the price i think it was worth it and I'm sure it will work just fine on my phone.

Is it possible to format the entire card to exFat; and does CM work with exFAT? Will my PC (Windows) be able to work with the card if I connect phone as MTP rather than UMS (Mass storage)? Just wondering, I'm not too bothered, but am just looking at removing the 4gb file limit. If it's a huge hassle, I will just use FAT32, I'm a little tired to overcomplicate things these days.

Black Screen real bad on 08/10

Just installed 08/10 and have Black Screen real now. Had the update for oh, 10 hours. When I used the camera and screen timed out, I almost had to reboot just to get screen lit again. Next I was making a phone call, screen went black, and NOTHING I could do to get back to the dialer. I managed to get screen lit, could hear robot talking, but the screen icons and background were all black, pull down would not take me to the call, and it was just awful.

I did not have these problems in 08/08, but in 08/10, black screen, for me, is HORRIBLE. Can anyone verify please? For those that really need their phone, stay away from 08/10 until this is confirmed or sorted out. :(

EDIT:

Just tried running the camera, allowing the screen to go black, and pressing power brought it right back. This black screen in 08/10 is unconfirmed but I have had 2 serious episodes already in less than 10 hours. NOT comforting. Waiting on feedback from others running 08/10 to see if they have any issues with it.

Before resorting to backup, I think I will try to stick it out and try the next nightly, many times issues like this get fixed in upcoming builds.

hi i just flashed this CM11 ROM on my Verizon XT912 RAZR MAXX. and I don't have a wireless network connection. This is my first time flashing a rom. What should I do now? Any ideas what I did wrong?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
[MENTION=1279248]camo_hunter[/MENTION]

Well, the very first thing to look at is to ensure you flashed the correct ROM - which I'm sure you have - but it's the first place to begin. If you have the XT912 you must flash "spyder," and not "umts_spyder".

Assuming that is sorted, it's really not easy to tell. How did you flash? Safestrap? Did you create a ROM slot or overwrite your stock slot - if you went over the stock, you did wipe first?

Did you add anything else like gapps or the jbx kernel?

I would try it from fresh again, just to confirm.

In Safestrap, make sure you're in the correct rom-slot you want to install CM11 to.

Wipe everything - you can leave internal/external storage should you wish, as it shouldn't be an issue.

Flash CM11.

If you want, you can also add a gapps zip to flash - you can always do this later or leave it altogether: download PA GAPPS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 mini modular package to install some Google apps to /system and thus save some of your "personal" space. I wouldn't really bother with this right now until you actually sort out your issue.

DON'T flash any custom kernel or anything else for now (if you want this - I don't use it).

Now take another look. Still no network?

Another thing, you didn't somehow put phone into aeroplane mode...

Have you taken a look at, or even fiddled with, your network settings? Maybe for some reason something's awry. Unlikely though.

If you have a password set up on your SIM (assuming you use a SIM card), were you prompted for this pin?

If it's a deeper issue, maybe someone else can help.

For now, I think information is vital. We need to know what you have done or how you are doing things.

My screen didn't go black like you say but It did lock up and I was unable to hang up my phone call. I hate leaving voicemails so this is bad really bad.

Just rebooted my phone to hang up on the voicemail and made another call. It is working fine now. Maybe you have dust under your screen protector. I have had that problem before.

casper I can't find the correct ROM. I followed the link to the nightlys and don't even see one now for the xt912. The link takes me to all the wrong nightlys

Is a nightly a ROM?

I think I found it sorry to be such a baby ha ha
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
No problem. Ask away.

This info is all over the net, but I hate referring people or asking them if they've searched the forums; and this thread is flowing well with informative discussions. So, just for info:

Nightlies are generally builds that appear daily (just read that part again..). They implement all the new features etc. of CM, but these new changes can break things .. which are then addressed in later nightlies (eventually ;)).

Snapshots (M "Milestone" releases) are monthly builds "showcasing" current progress - intended to be more stable, although, at this point I cannot say that this is really the case for us RAZR users. M9 is not bad (I'm still using it, and I have always ever used nightlies), but there are many nightlies that are performing very well too. Keep your eyes on this thread to hear what everyone is saying.

Been experience intermittent slow wake ups / lag the last few builds. Running 8/09 which ran smooth the first day and started having issues yesterday. Not sure if the cache being clean the first day helped but thinking about trying some nightly reboot/cache cleaning. First though I'm trying to see if changing the CPU governor to Performance might help. So far this morning it seems to be running much smoother. I'll report back end of day on how it runs / how battery life does.

Much thanks to everyone for all the help. Really wasn't very hard once I got the right downloads

[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Actually, it's been behaving nicely. So far running about 5 1/2 % per hour battery burn (1/2 day in so about normal) and responsiveness is definitely back to near normal (like you I couldn't deal with the 5-10 minutes it was taking to do normal activities). May switch over to one of the less aggressive governors tomorrow to compare. I know there was a lot of back and forth last week on different governor settings but I wasn't in a place to go back over the opinions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Awesome! Welcome to the CM11 Razr group, Camo. Now be nice and go press the Thanks button for those that help you. That is what we have for a reward system here. Not perfect, but, it let's "the helper" know he did a good job and that you are grateful. This is a really good and active XDA group. We have a lot of brains in here, many people from all over the world and we all take turns at the Help Desk. This insures that whatever issue you have, at least somebody is likely to be familiar with it. At some point, you too will sit in on the help desk and help the newbies that come after you.

Glad to be of service, Mervis! :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Ohhhhh, so you are really going to put all the governors through their paces, eh? That would be a really good thing to know, especially if you take the time to do a small write up on it. List each governor you tested, and what it did to the phone. If you could do that and post it, that would help people here a real lot.

Me, I was at mom's house, bringing her some home made "Olive Garden" dinner that I made last night and she brought the fresh vegetables and I bought the pasta and fresh whole grain bread. But while there, I did a cmhome check for updates, and saw that 08/11 was up and the changelog indicated some improvements in the framework, so, at 25% battery, I took the OTA anyway. Heh, kind of scared, if the battery died during a build flash, it would not be pretty. Might even brick the phone but I know this phone, an OTA does not take very long and 25% will last close to 2 hours anyway.

One thing I may not be considering is that now I am using the Trebuchet launcher. Previously I used Apex pro which is stable like a rock with lots of things to configure. Trebuchet is still version 1.0 and although it is very young in CM11, it is quite popular and loaded with nice features. It was terrific in CM10, super stable and super customizable. That may be contributing to my issues, I have had Trebuchet hang sometimes and FC, but not "excessive". As I set it up and tweak it, things should get better. Not to mention getting the multiple desktops setup the way I like them.

Too early to tell if 08/11 is better, but so far, very responsive, light always comes on, and by tomorrow, (My dad would always say this.) "We shall see what we shall see". For me, *anything* to get off that terrible 08/10 build! After sitting in the hot car, trying to get navigation up for an address that is 7 minutes away, I sat screwing with the phone longer than it would have take to just drive there! Even though this rom is not fully tested overnight, I am backing it up anyway, that is how bad I never want to see 08/10 again. :p

...I bought the 64Gb SD Card from Amazon when I had an extra $40 and it was worth it so I can make backups with no problem. Oh, tip for newbies that don't know. Geeezzz, I don't have a screenshot now. Oh, I got one old screenshot that shows files with the word "Downloaded" on some with the icon to show it. In the CyanogenMod Update screen in Settings/About Phone, where you can tap to update your phone, you see "down arrows and a flat lines" icons. That means the update has not been downloaded. All the updates you already installed in the past show "a little doorway icon" next to it and

that 200Mb zip file is still sitting on your internal SDCard space, eating it up

. 5 of them is one Gig of space down the toilet. So long press on the update name and choose "Delete" on all the older ones you are done with. Keep the last good one or two you installed that worked well. You can reclaim a lot of internal card space this way.

If you do the governor report, even a small one, I sure would like to see it, rgerrans. Thanks for the report, reports here are like gold. TTYL :cowboy:

Awesome cell tower map here

I was looking for a nice cell tower coverage map and found a real doozie here. Check out this neat really huge map of cell tower coverage. You can zoom out to entire continents and down to street level. At street level in real close, you lose the "heat map" of signal coverage. But you can enter your address or zoom in to street level, find you house, and zoom back out far enough to see the coverage. NOW I understand why that short, 1 mile drive I do shows my signal dropping in and out. This is really cool and shows Verizon coverage but also shows AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Metro. Maps like this really help you to understand what is going on for real with your signal.

Network Coverage Maps - Verizon Coverage

I found this with a Google search, you can probably find something better for different carriers in this Google Search. Just change the word "Verizon" to your carrier.

I thought this was neat, hope it helps someone else. :cowboy:

CM11 can support exFAT, but you have to use "Mass Storage Mode" to transfer >4GB file.

CM11 will consider exFAT format as normal FAT32 in MTP mode.

But file access is normal without any problems after transfered by Mass Storage Mode.

I'm using exFAT in CM11 with a 16GB SD for over 3 months and just upgrade to 32GB last week.

Some of my 720P videos are bigger than 4GB and I can watch them from exFAT SD without any problem. :good:

Ahahahahaha! You r 2 phun-knee, DumbleCore! LOL! :laugh:

Hey man, I had such rotten issues with cm11 08/10 I would do anything to dump it. See my rant above about how it took over 7 minutes to get a contact's address into navigation. I had to do it manually and could have driven there by the time I got nav working!

Well, I took 08/11 the minute I saw it up on OTA and now, "contact to navigation" in just over a minute. Sweet! Letting the screen black out to sleep on the camera lit right up too when power pressed. Not like the mega heavyweight knockdown fight I had with the phone on 08/10 last night when the phone fell asleep with camera on. Now, phone nods out with camera on, wakes right up and picks up where it left off. Oh, better days are here again. :)

Oh man, I am SO relieved. I haven't been that PO'ed at a rom in quite some time. I swear, if cm110810 was a little voodoo doll, I would pummel it with fists and tear it apart with my teeth until it was rags! Grrrrrrrrrr. 'nite DC. :cowboy:

Bug Report, Build Report: 08/10

I have been really complaining about black screen and extremely slow response in cm11, build 08/10. Here are some previous complaints:

Today I have to go to a client's home, about a 7 minute drive to service the home computer network. I do not know the exact street address but have it in my phone contacts. Tap contacts, tap client, tap his address, tap "Maps" Just once, his home comes up in Google Maps, tap Navigate for driving instructions. The whole process should take less than two minutes.

I was sitting there, trying to do this, for over 7 minutes. Each time I tapped something, main screen would go black, Notification Bar visible so screen is not blacked, buttons lit, and wait, ...forever. "Maps is taking to long to respond, close or wait". "Navigation has unexpectedly closed". On and on, finally I held finger on contact's address, Copy, open Maps, hold finger in search bar, Paste. Go. Got my location, tapped Navigate, the whole black screen, FC, wait thing again. Tried one more time, everything worked and I am on my way.

Another issue was using the built in camera. My cat is sleeping on the couch, right behind my head, and I have a phone with an HD camera so I decided to take a picture. Anyone who has a cat knows one can never have enough "kitty pictures". Well, cats do things "in their own time" and of course, Sonia took her time about being ready for the camera. By that time, the phone went to sleep, screen went dark while on camera. Sonia is in a good pose, grab the camera, and no way is this screen waking up. Press power, see hard buttons light, screen dark. Try tapping home button, any button, nothing. Holding in the power button for quite a while did bring up the power menu, eventually, and I was able to dismiss it with the back button and get back to the screen. Another issue, incoming call, cannot wake the screen fast enough to get the call.

During all these bad times, lots of FCs, or "Trebuchet (Insert app here) is not responding, would you like to wait or close".) 8/11 has not had an app hang or FC yet.

Build 08/10 is a bomb and I want rid of it! Since it is "not that bad" most of the time, I decided to keep it and wait for the next update. I learned from experience that when a build comes through with a bug like this, very often the next update will clear it. So today, the 11th of August, 08/11 showed up and I took the OTA update. Phone runs really well now. I was able to go from "contacts to navigation" in under two minutes. Not bad at all and no manual pasting of address in maps. Tried like hell to crash the phone with camera and sleep, wakes right up, no problem.

I have only had 08/11 for 8 hours, not long enough to do an extensive test, but the phone just "feels right" now. The horrible sluggishness is gone. Just a heads up for those wanting to update and know in advance what roms are safe or potentially bombs. 08/10 is a bomb. 08/11 has my vote so far. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Switched to On Demand this evening when I saw a sharp drop in battery with Performance this afternoon after my commute home. So far the phone is staying pretty responsive (though limited use at night).

I have noticed my last couple of flashes that the new builds do well for the first day or so and then start having hiccups. I may wait to see if you are still having good experiences tomorrow before making the next jump forward.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yep, performance is a real battery drainer if your phone is stable through it. I am not having great battery life lately. Wakelock Detector and Batter Doctor complain it is my Transparent clock & weather widget. I really like it though. You can customize the life out of it, very functional and very useful. Quite beautiful once you customize it up, too. Tap for extended weather reports, alarm clock, and all sorts of stats if you want to turn them on. The interface has several skins for the UI and you can color almost anything. I am keeping it. Screenshots attached. I use ONDEMAND all the time and have good results with it. 300 min, 1200 max. I use Cool Tool to keep an eye on the CPU load and it is very well balanced and drops to a nice, cool, energy saving 300MHz quite often when not doing anything. You can see Cool Tool in the notification bar above the benchmark test, running full blast for the test at 1200MHz.

I just posted an Build/Bug report right above this for you to read. Build 08/10 is a total bust, slow, laggy, black screen hell, and plenty of app hangs and FCs. But an OTA flash of 08/11 fixed it right up. All the problems are gone now and the phone feels right again. I have not had 08/11 in for a total day but I cannot make it crash, hang, or black screen at all. Will report back if I see any genuine problems with it but I would say at this point that 08/11 is a winner. :D

Thanks for the reports, rgerrans! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Thank you. I formatted to exFAT, copied all my files back, popped card back into phone, and it's working just fine. I just needed confirmation, and you came through!

Cool, now we are in the same boat - 32gb, exFAT, XT910, CM11, lol ;)

And, as Ohmster would say:

Hey 2¢, how are you doing with the August builds and your signal and APN connection? My experience has been quite good but for that "stink bomb", 08/10 that just about wrecked my phone. Was easy to fix though, just flashed 08/11 over it, OTA.

I like these August builds but you have particular issues. So I was wondering if you took the plunge and installed some of the late builds or are just staying on a build that works good for you. If so, which one?

Hmmm, has anyone seen Mr. Glass? I have not heard from him in quite some time. Maybe he got a new phone.

Good luck to you, 2¢. Nice to see you are still here and active! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
OnDemand was giving me similar slow wake up / lag issues I saw off Interactive. I think I'll follow your lead and jump to 8/11 and see if they the couple of changes they made in between clears up the issue.

Thanks for keeping everyone in the loop on what you are seeing with the different builds.:good::good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Hi Ohmster. I follow the thread and I usually test most builds. I've not been posting as much lately because this is a very busy time at work. A few of the August builds have put my phone into a sleep state that I can't wake it up from without a hard key reboot. It might be the xposed framework, since I only started messing with it about 3 weeks ago... In any case, I have an occasional APN problem even after flashing the Verizon APN file, but nothing like I used to have. I can go for a couple of weeks now before it will give me the error. I still get it though... :(

Anyway, 8/10 hasnt been that bad for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hey, thanks for checking in, 2¢. I get a little nervous now when friends disappear for a long time. Ever since Jake took the red-eye flight out of town. I actually hunted down stargo, camping in the middle of nowhere, (Probably the Black Forest in Germany where he lives.) to make sure HE was okay. He is, and he actually got an email through with a "text only" email using Mutt on a simple Linux computer. Heh, if there is a way to get through, stargo will find it! ;)

I just hope that he took some women along on the camping trip. Our camp outs were always better when everybody came and the women did too. Having the chicks along was great. They go skinny dipping, shooting and fishing, and are just great to party with in the woods.

I ask about you because I know that you and chinkster have real APN connectivity issues so you guys are my "wind sock" on these issues. Working, busy, that's okay and just fine. Just say "hey" once a month at least so we can all rest easy. (Mother hen is worrying over her chicks.) :p

Stargo is SO busy he does not even have the time to check in here very often. I miss him here and around, period. Michael is a really great guy, not just a great developer. And, he is a young man. I thought he would be some kind of "Old Wizard on the mountain with a long white beard, and a magic staff" or something. Nah, just a really smart college kid. But, we all love him.

You know, after Jake/Shaun uh, passed, the whole group sort of went numb and stopped reporting. I myself was too freaked out to try new builds. Stargo told me the new builds were good in late July, theme engine issues were fixed, no black screens, all good. So, I took the plunge and started reporting again. He was right, the builds are really good again and as a bonus, for Trebuchet lovers, the launcher is a LOT more mature now and the features really work. I make constant backups for insurance and kept updating. I got burned on 08/10 and 08/11 cleared it right up for me. Maybe not so for everyone, I get "the black screen blues" while you get "the APN aches". So, our reports are especially useful.

Anyway, good to see you are still around/alright. Have you heard from chinkster at all? I wonder how he and Mr. Glass are doing. Welder comes and goes, he checked in not long ago. I forget where he lives, outta here somewhere, oh, Belgrade, Serbia. A guy like that is really important to have around to help with the XT910 questions. Casper is in Cape Town, Africa. Stargo is in Nuremberg Germany. We got a really good mix in here as well as a lot of brains and really good people.

Take care, 2¢. Really appreciate the check in. You got enough info on current builds to try one out. All good on my end but for 08/10. :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Why does everyone use SS or another boot manager? We can just use clockwork or TWRP. Although there currently isn't a version of the later for the razr. All you need to do is keep a backup and you are good. No need for dual booting. I think that it is safe to say that most of us use one rom most of the time anyway. For me anyway safestrap just slows down the boot process. And from what I have been hearing lately it has been causing issues for some people too.
