wifi issue

Motorola XT910 Rzr Maxx - umts_spyder

upgrading from CM10 to CM11 nightly 11/08 i lost wifi connection

it asks me for the password and tries over and over to connect failing

i tried to reinstall the nightly 08/08 and same problem

changed europe zone on both phone and router, channel, kind of signal etc

any suggestion? now i'm back on 08/11

tnx

Did you update over CM10? If so, you probably need to go clean first.

Do a wipe before you flash.

SS flashes a custom recovery and there are versions of CWM out there but no TWRP yet. I'm going to try to start building TWRP2 and CWM recoveries. I'm not going to edit anything that isn't necessary to make it work. So 100% stock recovery.

You can flash recoveries through android if you have root. I forgot the cammand as of right now but you can also use adb. CM11 source code has a script for flashing a recovery that is built.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Sure u can flash recoveries with root, but i dont think it's possible with a locked bootloader.

That's bcoz we have SS and BMM, those don't flash a recovery image,our Stock recovery is still there

Well we will just have to see once I get it to build correctly. (I have ubuntu so I don't use it for my build enviroment) which adds some extra hutdles when building CM11 and CWM/TWRP2. I could have swore that I had a really old version of CWM on my phone before BBM and SS came out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
This is very strange. And since you already had CM10 running, it's safe to assume you have some idea of what you're doing.

No one else is having this issue, so maybe you should run us through what you're doing exactly.

But I seem to believe you're not doing anything wrong. It sounds like, other than WiFi, your phone is running properly with CM11. And even your WiFi is working somewhat - you are inputting a password as it is.

Have you tried any other WiFi available?

Maybe something's up with your setup... No MAC addresses involved anywhere by any chance?

I remember I could not always connect my Milestone to some WiFi networks, but no problems with the RAZR.

Speaking of Milestone, I just lent mine to my dad who's S4 is in for repairs... Damn, it is slow, and it really struggled booting up! It's still running CM 7.2.1 - think that was about the last. But, it's unusable actually. Can't get anything done and the battery is lasting like half a day (and think the spare I bought on eBay long ago is probably also done for). Think I must look tonight at putting Froyo (stock) back on. Cannot remember much about meddling with this phone, and stock was a problem as apps have limited storage space, and you end up needing something like Link2SD. Oh, the "Good 'ol days".

You are right it doesn't work. I wish that we could bypass the safestrap screen and just boot directly into the installed rom. I look forward to seeing what the other devs come up with to replace SS since HashCode is discontinuing development.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
I did have a recurrent issue with Wifi on CM11 which I reported several times and could never find a solution for. In my case it was random, but may be the OP is having it consistently.

What it does is, when you enable Wifi, it gets stuck in "enabling Wifi" and it never gets out of that, forward or backwards. It never enables, and you can't switch it back off either. Airplane mode does nothing to this. The only way is to reboot the phone.

A while back, I read someone mentioned deleting some wifical files (too lazy to search but it might help the OP or others) might mitigate this issue. Never really tried as a byproduct of it was losing all your Wifi credentials, but might be worth a shot in this case.

Before RaZR, I had a Moto Defy, which was, basically, a Milestone minus the physical keyboard. I was running CM10 / Jellybean on it, and it ran pretty good - It's actually still in service with my son now. So there's still some juice to make out of that little gadget! ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I had this problem awhile ago on my xt912 (and I seemed to be the only one suffering with this problem at that time too). I finally fixed it by deleting ALL files and folders in /data/misc/WiFi (requires using a file manager with root access enabled. CM's file manager can be used once root access is enabled under file manager settings), reboot, and then reconfigure WiFi connections.

This has worked for others as well (see http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?/topic/87029-Cm11-Keeps-Forgetting-Wifi-Password#entry442458).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Any time I had this problem, I just rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions. I've seen it most often when installing a new ROM, and the WiFi would refuse to start during setup.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Razr phones have a locked bootloader and Safe Strap or BMM are the only recovery tools I know of that will work with it. I use Safe Strap, which does use TWRP, never used BMM so I cannot tell you about it. I like CWM ROM Manager, always used it on my phones and on my tablet. Using it on a Razr is brick city. I wrecked my phone several times trying CWM. The moment you install the recovery environment in CWM, you are toast. Reboot and never see the phone reboot again. You get "Encryption Error - Use Factory Reset" and Factory Reset doesn't do Jack. You get the same Encryption Error again in an endless loop.

Because of the locked boot loader, the phone is not really toast. You can re-rom your phone with a USB cable and Matt's Utility in AP Fastboot mode. But, you lose everything and must start over from scratch. I did this TWICE in one week, each time completely restoring my phone by hand. Someone released this "ClockworkMod Rom Manager Black Edition" and it was supposed to work on Razr phones. So I tried it and ruined my phone again. Had I taken a minute or two to read the comments on this "Black Edition", I would have read that it does not work and it will ruin the phone.

I don't believe you can use TWRP by itself. Safe Strap uses TWRP and sets it up properly to run on the Razr phone. CWM can use TWRP and my tablet is set to use it. But the actual recovery environment is totally different than for my phone. The options are different, no rom slots, it is setup not the same and would not work on a Razr phone. Safe Strap sets up TWRP to work on the Razr phone and gives you the ROM slots you need. I have no experience at all with BMM but others use it and have no problems with it.

You got a Razr, use Safe Strap or BMM. If you have time to kill and want to learn a painful lesson, try CWM. You will be sorry. :D

In call recording?

I was looking at the upcoming nightly and it looks as though they may be adding an option for in call recording. I tried some third party apps in the past with mixed results, I divorced her so I don't have much use for it now, I just hope it won't break anything.

8/11 running solid

So to collaborate on Ohmster's report. I'm also getting good results with 8/11. Seems that one of the changes eliminated my lag / slow wake issues. Battery life seems pretty solid as well. Haven't seen too many orange connections lately either.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
This morning, I woke up late due to problems with my alarm.

I don't know if I slept through or what actually happened. But when I did wake up there was no notification. Only later did I get notifications of missed alarms.

What went wrong? And if I did actually sleep through two alarms, why was there no notification until later?

Running M9, never had this happen before.

No lags, not slowing down or something else

thanks for the informative post!

i understand that xposed framework is compatible with cm11...right?

also in the cyanogenmod site, in the forums, the admin/moderator told me the reason im not getting otas and also having trouble installing the update through recovery is because i had xposed installed. i was told to delete it and then try again. (when i was on m8 trying to get m9)

will i have to delete xposed when i want to update from m9 to m10 (whenever its out) (now im on m9 snaphot)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I'll try it and see how it works. The I/O scheduler is what I am testing out now. Thanks for the tip, will let you know, DC.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
What I did is just use interactive and then under "memory management" I checked both options. It has actually been running nicely. Don't really have the patience to test each setting - you guys are already doing that anyway ;) .

[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
I've been on the performance governor with deadline i/o scheduler for almost 2 weeks now. Both memory management options checked. Haven't had any crashes. Been working great, extremely quick, and the phone easily lasts throughout the day. I dont give the phone much heavy use throughout the day. So this meets my needs and exceeds them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
A: Xposed Framework is 100% compatible with cm11

B: No way does it interfere with the OTA process, as many of is here use both all the time.

And C: M8 was buggy and abandoned almost immediately by most of us who tried it. You should have no further problems. M9 is a good, solid build, barring any problems with slowing down over time, which some people are combating in the recent nightlies.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
Hey Dumblecore... you already got a customer for LS here. Regarding your testing, have you got significantly (as in, perceivable, mostly) better results with noop than with deadline? I am running interactive, deadline, un-tweaked governor, stock kernel, but would switch over if gains in performance and/or battery autonomy are to be had.

TIA
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
This:

This is killing me. I'm having the exact same drops, in the same spots. Both in CM11 and in LS. I didn't have this just a couple months ago, and battery life was significantly longer. Is this a first sign of the battery dying? Or is this coming from the software?

TIA
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
yea,i got better results with noop,tested every possible combo,except performance governor,and got the best results with noop/ondemand.

it seems like there´s lesser battery consumtion while screen is on...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Probably bad news, dude... If you get the same drop with a completely fresh install (ie: new slot, clean ROM and GApps, no battery tweaks or helper apps-very important!), then you're looking at battery cells that are failing.

My insistence on no battery helpers is based on rumours that some battery extender/fast charge/miracle worker apps just play with the battery calibration to make things LOOK better, but eventually they have to drop to catch up with reality.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Not much to report outside of my earlier posts. Performance definitely fixed my lag / delayed wake issues but decreased battery life by ~20%. Interactive and OnDemand both left me with lag and delayed wakes on 8/9. Trying DumbleCore's settings now.

I've also noticed on OTA's that they seem to run solid for a day or so and then start experiencing lag / delayed wake. I've been wondering if the dalvik or the cache being cleaned out on an update is what is improving performance. Been meaning to test one of these times on a slow down to do a dalvik / cache wipe and see if it fixes the issue for another day or so.

That all said, 8/11 has been still running fairly solid. Though given your reports on 8/13 being even more solid may grab 8/14 today and take it for a spin.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
The exact same thing happens on my xt912 no matter what ROM I am using. Gotta hate those dead battery cells.:(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
I'm seeing the same thing. I see big big drops at specific intervals. For me it's usually below 40% - I'll see jumps from, say, 40 to 28, then to 14, and then single digits. Battery consumption above 40 seems to be consistent and in-line with how heavy I'm using the device.

As an FYI I've ordered an aftermarket 4000 Mah battery I expect to arrive today. I'm going to take my time with it but I'm hoping to fit it to my maxx. I'll be dropping results in this thread but being part of the CM11 community (currently running 08.13) I'll echo anything relevant here.

Regardless of 4000 Mah's compared to the original 3200 the MAXX was delivered with, I'm very interested to see if the big drops still occur with a new cell. Once I have something meaningful to re-post, we can start the discussion of aftermarket cell quality versus OEM, blah blah, blah :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
To pull the thread on the cache/dalvik contribution to lag, I've been thinking the same thing going back to 04.15, 06.24, 07,09(ish) and 08.01. I mention them because they're the nightlies that worked well enough for me that I stuck with them for long enough to see the lag. I've been flashing nightlies pretty regularly which result in C&D being wiped and the device running pretty smoothly until the next OTA I take. I'm on 08.13 and plan to hang here for a little while only because my sked will keep me away from any extended phone time. Point is instead of backing out to SS to wipe cache, I've set up a cache wipe event using TiBu's scheduler. I'm going to auto-run it evey couple of days after bedtime and see if there's any notable improvement. You can wipe Dalvik from TiBu's menu but I didn't see a scheduling option.

Anyone already doing this or are we all waiting for our apps to to reconfigure?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krestian:
Exactly the same here. From 40-ish% to 29~28%, and then three very solid steps; 18%, 14%, and 4%. I dont' know if I'm cringing more at how much a new battery costs here, or the procedure involved to replace it... to keep having the same phone :(

Also too bad I ran out of thankyous for the day so.... *THANK YOU*.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
Ironic, 40-28-14-4 is a combo I typically see as well. Might play those numbers in tonight's lottery. It's interesting to me that we're seeing the same big step increments. If it's a battery issue, that would mean the same cell would have had to fail among us?

I seem to remember there is one, but I'm unable to tell you exactly how it's worded. That second one you posted, that one is also handy, does away with the dialog to accept Google's conditions for location using cell towers and wifi... EVERY TIME you enable it. At some point, that gets old and irritating, so it's a good addition too.

There's one I miss a lot and it's the 40-step volume increase / decrease. I'm considering reinstalling Xposed just for that, but I'm also resisting the idea. Does anyone know of an easier / lighter solution?

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

I've been there too; I feel your pain. Yes, mine was also that bad, to the point where many tasks wouldn't finish starting up before the screen went blank, so you enter this loop of waiting, unlocking, waiting or just tapping on nothing to prevent the phone from sleeping, while at the same time worrying that your taps are being buffered and will end up clicking a cancel button or something.

I'm now on LS and it feels much, much better. Been on it for the entire week so far, and it's good - not like blazing, face-warping, hair-undoing fast, but it's like usable fast. Like CM used to be back in May / June, so to speak. Back to normal, so to speak.

Before going the hard road again (we all eventually have done, do and will do), fire up ES file manager and wipe all files in /data/tombstones. Then reboot to SS and wipe cache and dalvik. See if it gets any better, if it does maybe you get a "lap extension" until the next factory reset.

Well... yyyee... no. Ok, kinda. For me, widgets were never preserved. Direct accesses, maybe, but I had to recreate all widgets every time. I dunno, I'm on the free Apex, maybe the paid version has that improved.

I think that depends on the apps. Many have hooks on the system, processes running in the background, and memory locked even if they are doing nothing. Widgets have a tendency to this - grabbing RAM even if you haven't deployed them on the desktop. On the other hand, you might even see the bright side of it: you're lucky, I have half as many and also was as bad as you describe.

...and if you're facing the inevitable, you might as well back it all up properly, delete the slot, and install LS, just for a spin. I have yet to become disappointed, after a week.

Nope. Nothing. Well at the very first times I used a few select features in the stock battery saver, but nothing after that, and stock didn't last too long either... probably 6 months or so :laugh:

none here either . . . unless you're counting Better Battery Stats but I wouldn't. Running straight 08.13 CM 11, no Xposed, no JBX, Apex Launcher Pro (yes, I have to redo my widgets as well every time I restore and I'm on the pro version of the app).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] icarome:
Me too

Well, I don't know if it's a good thing or not but I'm also getting these anoying jumps on my battery level at these same values 40 to 18 the 14 and for last, but no least, 4... But I have also to say that mostly of the times i put my phone to charge it goes from ~80% to 100%... sometimes from less sometimes for more... But it's hard to see it charge fully from 0 to 100 without jumps and from 100 to 0 without drops... I really want to believe it's a software problem... XT910 here, just in case you people want to know...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
These are Tom side jumps, u have booted into recovery and looked at ur stats? Mine jumps usually from 59 to 50,if I boot into SS, I see the real bat state, also after some time of letting the rom sit in, they are less, from 55 to 50 then 52 to 50....
