Gotcha on the mem-management apps, will avoid.

In looking into Hangouts, in terms of SMS/MMS - it is actually BOTH a Google account communication app AND an SMS/MMS app in one. They "merged" the two conversation types within the app, if the contact is the same (based on the phone contact data). The merge of the conversations is just a front-end only merge, they are stored separately behind the scenes and sent separately according to the selected method when the message is sent. It's both clever and clunky at the same time. I'll probably give Google Messenger a shot (maybe even before wipe/reflash) to see how it works in comparison.

Edit: Put in Google Messenger - tried sending the wife a MMS message, still no go. Will reserve judgement until Wipe/reflash (in case of horridly borked APNs or somesuch).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks for the update, bra!

I keep and use both. I currently use Go SMS Pro (free) but might ditch it soon. Had it for years but everyone hates the v6 updates where all the menus were "dumbed down". Go SMS Pro is my text client and I use Hangouts when I want to chat with someone on Google, like you. I used Hangouts video chat with Micheal to get some personal help when my LTE chip burned out and another member here to test with overseas audio and video chats, Hangouts really does work quite well for "skyping".

MMS is beter than SMS because it does not have a character limit, can do large and several photos, audio and video snips, and slideshows. SMS is text only and small pictures, AFAIK. Google Messenger is looking pretty good and a credible member already reported on it as being very good. I will probably try Google Messenger and make the switch if I like it.

11/07 pretty much set the standard for this rom and almost everyone here agrees with or has switched to it. That will be a very high standard to meet or beat. I

never

have to reboot on 11/07.

I already have 03/29 installed. Now all it has to do is pass the uptime test. (How long can it run if/before it starts showing problems like lag.) I don't shut down or reboot so I will know. If I get past 5 days, it will likely be a very good rom. :fingers-crossed:

This is also very promising for [MENTION=5709478]tonyt.[/MENTION] and the AOKP roms. If he can get good, source code for a new cm11 rom, there will likely be new AOKP roms for Razr phones! :D

Oh man, you borked your APN list. That is going to have to be reset. Updating the build will not likely fix it because I think that information is stored in your data folder. There is a way to reset it, let me think.

Oh yeah, here ya go. /Settings/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names/ three dot menu. Tap "Reset to default". A reboot may be necessary. That should wipe any changes you made to the APN list and give you back the stock APN list for your provider. If it worked before, it should work again. Mine is set to Verizon Internet, VZWINTERNET, which is the correct APN set for me. Yours might be different so you want to reset them to default. Trying to setup your APN manually is very, very difficult, especially if you are Googling for it. It would be easier to find someone with the same phone and carrier and copy their settings than to find your own manually. Use the reset.

See if that helps, man, :fingers-crossed:

Edit:

You might even have to go to app info for Google Messenger and clear data to get a fresh start on APNs with Messenger. Try this if above suggestions fail. I do not know what the settings are for Google Messenger but stock APN and default settings should work. Google is pretty good about this stuff.

Request:

Do us a favor and let us know if the APN reset helps. APN issues have come up a LOT in here and we need all the help we can get. Thanks! :D

03/29 stuttering day 2

I promised to give reports on the new build, 03/29 as I go along. I am using the 11/07 build as a performance standard to meet since it is the best rom we have. Problems with the last builds, 02/02 showed up as uptime increases. How many hours, days, months, etc, that the rom is running.

UNOFFICIAL build 03/29/2015

Day 1, right after installing. No apparent issues.

Day 2, spent the night on charger. Decided to do my multitask car test, what I normally do with this rom, to see if it can make the cut. I already sent this info to Michael and don't want to type it up twice. Copy and paste report:

There you have it. One night on charge and issues the next day. A reboot DID clear it up and performance was equal to 11/07 after a hard reboot. (If you see the red Motorola M logo, that is a hard reboot.) If the rom stays this way, I will be very happy. If I must continue to reboot once or more every day to keep it running well then it's back to 11/07 for me.

Streaming music is not a CPU intensive task. Opening a bulky app like Pandora or Slacker may be taxing, but once opened and streaming, not an intense task to maintain. Only watching CPU frequency this time because [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] did mention that if it drops too low, it could interfere with the audio drivers. CPU frequency is not the issue this time, maybe memory since it cleared right up after reboot. Further testing required. :rolleyes:

EDIT:

Bluetooth might not have anything to do with the stuttering. Tomorrow I will start out with just streaming music to see if stuttering occurs. If not, move on to Bluetooth. If streaming music will not play without stuttering and having to reboot, that would be a good rom test to try each day. You see this issue and have your answer w/out extensive testing. Since the phone speaker is not exactly "High Fidelity", I always use streaming music on car stereo. Tomorrow I will test streaming music alone, first time, by itself, and let you all know if this is a good test or not.

MMS while using CM11 hasn't worked for me, ever.

I have reset the APN list though that method previously, so i'm working off of a reset list of APNs right now.

Also, manually editing APNs is restricted in Android 4.4/CM11, the changes have to be put in via a flashed file, or edited while the system is in bootload/recovery in order to apply, apparently (from my research on the topic).

No intrusion! Any suggestions on fixes are welcomed!

I'm assuming we're looking at a re-built CMDA network APN list file in that zip? If so, i'll be hanging on to that one for sure!

Edit: Flashed it. No change. MMS still not sending. Just to be double sure, I did another APN reset to default after flashing, and still no sending.

I'm on VZW here in Tampa, FL. I've never been able to send an MMS message while using CM11 on my phone. I've found some details on APNs and Android 4.4, in that you cannot actually modify them through the running OS anymore, changes must be made to the xml file directly and flashed in. I've tried doing so myself a couple of times only to terribly bork something to the point where i've had to re-flash CM on top of itself to get ANY APN names to show up again at all. I had found a post of a submission to GitHub for a suggested addition to CM to correct the issue, based off of comparing current Stock VZW APNs with the APNs included in CM by default for VZW, and modifying CM's list to match VZW's current entries, but appartently CM doesn't take submissions to GitHub into any consideration, instead requesting it be submitted to their own system. I'm not familiar enough with either system or I'd try to do the legwork myself, but the link for the suggested fix is here:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/pull/13

I also messaged [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] with that link to see what he has to say, as I'd only imagine this would continue to be an issue in CM12, so submitting a fix directly to CM would still be useful, even if not for our CM11 builds.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION] is living in Tampa, Florida, and has an XT912 on Verizon. The entire East coast of the US is saturated with Verizon. He should not be having these problems. But you are not the first or the last. We had 2 members famous for this issue and

getting it corrected, chinkster and my2cents. And it wasn't for lack of trying to help them, either. This was in July & August, 2014. I still have the most updated flashable APN list that was build by [MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION]. It will install a 43Kb apns-conf.xml file on your phone. Here is the actual post for the apns-conf.xml file. The zip flash file is attached and for many, it did indeed help. But for a select few,

nothing could help them

. Why, I don't know. It remains a mystery to this day. But you are welcome to try and can always reset. Good luck my friend. :good:

Settings look like this?

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

And baseband looks like this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Not mine. It is identical to yours but for me, CDMA Subscription is RIUM/SIM. I live in South Florida, about ten miles North of Fort Lauderdale. Not to argue but to show what configuration I have always used. Might be different for some in different locations. HTH. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sd_shadow:
My settings may not be correct, but are working for me, and technically I have a XT908...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]

So, I flashed the APN list you provided, Ohmster, and actually got what seems like a better result. Still didn't send, but gave me an error of "Invalid Destination Address" when attempting to send an MMS message to my wife's phone. This is at least what seems like a valid response in attempts to send the message. I'm going to test sending one to someone else, to see if its something specific with my wife's number or not. Edit: tried someone else and still get invalid destination address.

I also checked my settings, and i'm on NV, CDMA+LTE/EVDO (changed to that to match, was on Global, which covers everything anyway), unable to find that "Phone info" section to see that. Will try one more "APN reset to default" to see if that changes anything too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I see. Make sure your wife's phone actually CAN send and receive text messages. If you have a provider APN issue, and have the same provider, HER phone may also have a bad APN setup. I know, it is hard when no one is around, but use her phone to send a text to anyone else. Call a friend, tell him you want to test text messagee (Someone you know who actually does use text messaging.). Tell him sending now, did he get it? Do same with your phone too. See if ANY of your phones can text. Especially if hers is stock, not rooted, standard issue phone. If you really have no one else you can text, I will PM you my cell number. You are welcome to send text test messages. I will reply if I get it, mine is working so you can use that if you need the test. Check your PMs... :cowboy:

P.S. Global is "supposed to pick the best match for your phone" but does not always work. My builds default to Global sometimes and I must change back to CDMA+LTE/EVDO to get my 4G back. Verizon uses LTE so that is what you want, with a fallback to CDMA if 4G is not availabe, then you go down to 3G. I don't know about the NV setting. On XDA, Subscription was always recommended to set to RUIM/SIM and that always worked for me. We do have "SIM cards", maybe that is what it means, not sure.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
So.... Settings: Global, RUIM/SIM, reset APNs, rebooted, waited a little bit and we have liftoff! (made sure WiFi was off, and had at least a bar of LTE signal.)

Sooo.... with all the fiddling, i'm not sure 100% what did it, all i know is I sent a MMS and it worked! Thank you to all in the discussions on this, It appears to be solved!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well [MENTION=3315635]neoramasay[/MENTION] that is good news! But if you can, without changing anything else, try going back to CDMA+LTE/EVDO. That should give you a better LTE signal and battery life. Change only that one thing, nothing else. And give it at least a 5 minute try. See if text stops, if signal is as good or better, and if same or better, leave on LTE.

Lot of differing opinions on this issue in Google.

If you are really afraid and don't want to do it, never mind. If it works and you are happy, that is all that matters bro. :D

P.S. That New_VZW_APNs-signed_1_.zip file I sent is the best, most current and full list we have for Verizon. A few people worked on this. Me, [MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION], and [MENTION=3322848]JakeDHS07[/MENTION]. I know because I archive stuff like this and keep it for any issues. You see how Shadow does with all of his URLs? I do the same but with files instead, make clickable pdf files from the posts, save files, and keep notes. Save that file, it might come in handy again sometime. And maybe save the text from these recent posts if you can for reference. Enjoy!

Hey! So what is up with Google Messenger? Do you like it? Is it cool? Did you try sending pictures with it? Can you test it out and tell us? I love that you can make a picture into the background for a message, or at least it looks that way on Play Store.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
So, first off, I like Google Messenger! Clean interface (Material design tends to be that way) haven't found how to set a picture to the background, but then again, i've been more concerned with getting pictures to send, not setting them as backgrounds. It's much faster in comparison with Hangouts, in terms of app opening and such.

It looks like my phone only likes to send MMS if i'm on LTE, and NOT connected to WiFi. After getting that first message to go through, I re-enabled WiFi and tried again and it stuck again! I had to turn off WiFi AND Data, and then re-enable Data to get the image to send. Oh well, it's progress! It's the first MMS messages i've had go through since loading CM11. Probably once a final CM11 build is reached, and I put it down to stock, and have everything flashed fresh and new, things might behave themselves even better!

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] - curious what the "baseband" versioning is - mine is almost exactly the same excepting I don't have the "S" at the end of the first part (Yours reads "RS" vs mine simply reads "R") - what could this indicate?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I flashed 29/03/2015 yesterday and it still feels to be running quite well for me. I was on 11/07 for about two or three days, but contrary to most feedback, it quickly became slow. Slow to open apps like whatsapp etc. Besides that, it did feel quite solid.

Will continue with this ROM today to see how it goes.

"If I can give one"... :D

I didn't give 11/07 much time because I actually have been very pleased with AOKP, and I haven't been using CM11 in quite a while. Although I did run CM11 the whole weekend (and then some). But I just feel my battery is draining in AOKP while sherri and welder aren't experiencing anything. I don't know, maybe I've just been using my phone excessively lately. Or I'm just imagining things.

Because of my concerns, I've decided to try CM11 since battery never felt like a major worry in CM11 for me. This is not really something you can determine in one day though.

Currently it feels like the battery is doing better, but it could well be in my head.

Since I'm getting a feel of battery life I thought I may as well test the ROM a bit too.

[ Please do try AOKP one day - we are all waiting. :p ]

11/07 seemed good to me, no issues at all, it just quickly felt like it slowed down for me. But it would settle after a while of loading into RAM.. But in comparison to what I was used to, it was a problem.

I installed 03/29 on a clean /system partition. Maybe after cache wiping it helped smoothen things out. None-the-less, performance so far is quite satisfactory. I've never really noticed issues after a night's charge (your ultimate endurance test), but no problems after it's first charge.

Actually if performance remains as it is - I would not have any complaints. It is quite good AT THIS MOMENT in fact.

What do I do to assist my system? Not too too much. But I Greenify like everything! Well, obviously not everything, but a lot of user and system apps. Oh, and I don't use Facebook or anything major running in the background.

This is just what my current experience has been, and is subject to change.

Compare to AOKP, which rom have better battery life and performance?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I'm quite happy with AOKP's performance and features. Currently CM11 29/03/2015 is performing quite well for me too, but I'm still testing it..

As for battery, I'm leaning towards CM11, but others are claiming a different experience (with AOKP) and so I cannot confirm yet until I've tested some more. Let's say one week CM, one week AOKP.. That ought to do it.

Install of 2015-3-29 early this evening.

Install process--complete wipe off romslot 1-delete and create new romslot 1-complete wipe of new slot 1- installed rom - installed gapps

Install went well - performed initial setup - let rom settle for about 5 minutes - installed TB and restored about 25 apps or so

Will be going through my usual set up of exposed modules to give this build a try.

I did notice upon completion of initial setup, that I received notification of updates available. Checked this and noticed builds for 3-30 and 3-31. Didn't realize this was going to happen.

Will try to update performance on the 3-29 build in the coming days
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=5212827]dwh2o13[/MENTION] do NOT update CM11 from the Updates Menu anymore! CyanogenMod has closed all further development on CM11 in favor of CM12. Those are CM12 updates you see. Forget about OTA updates as there will be no more! :)

What? There are NO updates from cm-11-20150329-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip that Michael posted for us to install. Look at his download page here:

http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/unofficial/

That's the latest collection of UNOFFICIAL CM11 updates for XT910 & XT912 available. CyanogenMod is not releasing any new cm11 roms.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Just be careful, could be Lollipop updates you see..

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] / Paul... You never put me on the spot, don't worry. I was just like "if I can - of course I can lol" to myself. :D

03/29 still working VERY well for me after two nights.

Regarding battery for my own testing: Got 4+ hours screen-on time and 19+ hours running time with 16% battery to spare.

What's left is to keep testing performance, but this build is...I almost want to say... the best performing CM11 build (so far) I've used to date.

This post was created on a Motorola RAZR Maxx (XT910).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, they are Lollipop updates on CM11 OTA updates. I think that [MENTION=5212827]dwh2o13[/MENTION] did not notice the new updates started with CM12. Obviously you cannot update to CM12 from CM11 without a complete wipe and clean install. CM12 is no where near ready or stable!

LOL! :laugh: Daniel, you are "laid back" to the point of "lazy". (But NOT if you put your mind to it.) But hey man, that's okay. Depends on where you live. Not sure about Cape Town but if I lived in Hawaii, I would for sure be doing the hammock/dancing girls/pina colada stuff myself, man. Get up? What for man? :D

If you tell me you Greenified everything, I believe you. You may not have put "weeks" into optimizing it, but I know you made an effort. If you stay with this build, read the guide and pickoff some of the stuff you do not ever need like Exchange Mail.

Daniel, you got 19+ hours with 4 hours of screen lit time? You have GREAT battery life my friend! I think we picked a winner here bra, with 03/29 UNOFFICIAL! Man, if this rom holds out, it will go to stock so that I can try AOKP. Also if it is good, maybe we can get the source to [MENTION=5709478]tonyt.[/MENTION] who would love to make a new AOKP rom for his fans! We might get a new AOKP rom out of this update. Happy times, I am so glad that things are going well. Take care, bra! :)

OK I see the ambiguity now, but Ohmster doesn't actually mean Cape Town is in Hawaii.

I have 0126 installed on that phone. It works. Should I stay there or look for a newer version? I read many of you even pointed 20141107 as a better version now that devs dropped CM11 in favor of CM12 (a setback for RAZRs...).

Grab the newest rom, 03/29. It is an UNOFFICIAL build from our developer stargo. But it is a very good one. 01/26 has the broken "Reboot to Recovery" Power menu. This new rom is great. Very fast, runs great, nothing broken. So far, I like it very much. Great to hear from you, Happy Easter my friend and do take care. ;)
