[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hmmm... Uh, ...welcome. Softboot sounds like software, OS, corruption. I have an XT912 and never saw and issue like that, and I saw plenty. What's your modle? 910/912? For Google Voice, you got the Google app installed? Makes that bar on top of every desktop with a mic on the right side? In your app drawer, do you have the "Google" app? Or, "Google Settings"? You will find the same settings in the Google Settings app, a gear icon, open it and tap '"Search & Now". In there find Voice and then "Ok Google Detection". Check to see if it is off.

If the Voice Recorder is not working then you really have a problem, my friend. Can think of some things to check, but if you have embedded corruption, the best way to deal with it is restore a Safe Strap backup when things were okay, or, if you have to, backup now to safe strap and, yeah I know, you hate it, delete slot or if Stock, Factory Reset and reinstall. This is bad, fellow. We will get back to that option in a little bit. :(

Okay lemmie think what else to check. Levels would be nice, but I cannot ever say I saw a mic gain control, anywhere and I have been all over this rom. /Settings/Sound. Check stuff like Quiet hours (off), Volumes, check all settings good. Nothing else here, really, to affect the mic. Man, I just went through all DSP Settings and the various volumes, nothing for the microphone. You have to take a different tack.

You have to test the device with a different rom. You got Jellybean on stock or any other rom on the system? Where is cm11 installed, a rom slot or stock? You have to boot to another rom to check the phone or a previous state of the rom when everything worked okay. You have any Safe Strap backups? Now is the time to use them. To be safe, make a backup of your current system so you can easily restore after troubleshooting or in case you have to "go back". If you have jellybean or something else on stock, boot to it and test the phone, use it for a while to check for mic dropping out and check with voice recorder.

If you don't have any backups to restore then we move forward. Get the latest snapshot on extsdard with gapps. Once backed up in Safe Strap, you can do a test install, clean. Not as bad as you think, a test install need not necessarily mean starting over, just a clean install w/out any corruption to be wary of. If on rom slot, delete rom slot and restore it. Now is the time to set your partition sizes, there is a section on it in the online guild in my sig. Check to make your sizes right and create rom slot you just deleted. Use safe strap to Install and find your snapshot rom zip. Add more zips and find your gapps zip file, swipe finger to flash them both. Reboot and blaze through the startup wizard. For the test, you can skip your way though it and setup WiFi and Accounts later, just get the rom up and running so you can test your voice recorder app. Is this an intermittent problem? If so, use the phone and watch for the mic to drop out. Install your Guitar tuner if you use that often so you can "use it" to see if the audio problem comes back. If the audio problem is there or comes back on a clean install, Stop. Install something else like Pac-Rom, Liquid Smooth, AKOP or whatever you want to see if the phone will work on any app.

If it does not come back, then your old rom is corrupted or has corrupted files. You can flash over it first if you want to "save your system". It might not work but what do you have to lose? It is a quick procedure. Boot to Safe Strap, wipe /system, /cache, and /dalvik, go to Install and flash your rom again and gapps if you have them. Reboot and you will not have to start over. This might not work because the /data partition contains all of your settings. If not, then delete slot and recreate or Factory Reset and wipe everything to install fresh with gapps. None of this stuff takes a terribly long time, other than rebuilding your desktop and all apps and accounts if, you find this is the only thing that works. Otherwise, flashing over the old system does no harm, and restoring a previous backup that works harms nothing but puts you behind a bit, you will update your apps and put anything back that is missing since the backup.

The online guide in my signature offers a LOT of help with all of these procedures, give it a view. There is nothing else to try. This is where you are, [MENTION=5267893]Crimson88[/MENTION], and this is how you get out of it.

Safe Strap is a very good backup system so you should have backups to restore, if not this rom, then start making them. Make sure you have ONE good backup when you get your system all running fine, and then, every 2-3 months, deleting older backups as you go. That is all we have left and I am cutting to the chase here, not worth farting around with for days or weeks, just "git 'er done" so to speak. Check the things I laid out for you and now you have a game plan. Ask for help and please report your progress so we can help others if this comes up again.

Go for it my friend! :fingers-crossed:
