[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hughes, you are NOT wrong. More on that later...

Alright, I really guess I have to stress the difference between opinion, feeling, gut feeling, or sense something. I did

NOT make it clear in my post that this is My Opinion or Feeling

. I was wrong for omitting that.

How does the Kayak commercial go? The professor shaves the back of his head to resemble a face, puts on glasses backwards, and even holds his coffee cup behind him to "sip" coffee, all the while saying "

Although I am an adjunct professor, it is not my job to know everything

". So the truth is, I don't know everything. It is my understanding and feeling that the APN for the device is selected by the carrier, but it does not download the entire list. Only picks the right one. Otherwise, why would Verizon give you APNs for T-Mobile, etc.?

Although I do know, that after completing the wizard when the phone is first started up, the APN is set right, the mobile network is set right, and all things that make the phone communicate are set right. This was not so, months ago, when we did have to pick CDMA/Eve+LTE/EvDo. Now I got CDMA/Evdo auto and it works great. Last time I saw orange was on the Reese's cup candy I ate after dinner.

I spent my whole life doing electronics, fixing things, making things, and getting it right. As I got older, I learned some "been there done that" stuff, but more important, an intuition by observation on where to go next, what to troubleshoot or fix, and got so good at it I could often fix a device based upon observation and intuition and go directly to the bad voltage regulator.

My observation was not totally correct or based upon known facts, it is just how I understand it. The carrier sets the correct APN at contact, but if the rom lacks the necessary list or entries, there will be problems. And THAT is the best I can explain it now. I do know these are nightly builds and change overnight often. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow or next week. So I do not sweat chasing little bugs in nightlies. I just wait for a better one and there were some long waits in there, buddy. ;)

Of course cm11 "is broken". If it weren't, it would be release, everyone would be using it, and CM would be working on cm12 and they might not include our phones as they are getting long in the tooth. Right now, the Blacklist is broken. The numbers do blacklist phone numbers, contacts, and manual entries from ringing, receiving a text message, and works great. Even the wildcard option I use to block an entire area code works like a charm. What does NOT WORK is blocking a "Private Number". You can tick that box all day and the calls come right through. I need this feature now because my EX-GF

will not leave me alone and we are done

. I reported it but have experience with this issue. I helped Jaimie, the author of Call Blocker Gold and cBlocker fix his anonymous call blocker with logs, trial builds, and reports. The logs show the incoming number. The blacklist runs it through it's database, if clear, call goes through. But for blocked Caller ID numbers the system gives the call a label like UNKNOWN, ANONYMOUS, PRIVATE, or who knows. The Blacklist is looking for, let's say "Private" and now Verizon calls it UNKNOWN so the call goes through. It is easy to block your caller ID in the states. Dial *69(number) and your caller ID will be gone, only displaying Private on the receiver. I asked Jaimie for a custom build with an alphanumeric keyboard instead of numerical to create call blocks, looked in CatLog for the current label for the call, make a block for it by blacklisting "ANONYMOUS" or whatever the term used at the time was, and it worked! The developer was so grateful he gave me a lifetime Platinum license to his product app.

Stargo does not do the blacklist but he found a workaround for it. Use your PC and go to gmail, contacts. Make a new contact named PRIVATE NUMBER and for the phone number, the same thing, PRIVATE NUMBER. Sync my contacts and now I can add PRIVATE NUMBER to my blacklist because it is a contact and I am able to get words into the phone number box that way. Works like a charm. No ring, no evidence, but Notification always shows 3 items blacklisted, whatever they are. The only bad thing about this workaround is that the caller can still leave a voicemail. But the bug is submitted and will be fixed, eventually.

I definitely agree, the builds ARE improving. I just backed up 06/23 because it was so good and now just installed 06/25 after reading the change log. Oh, the update is done, OTA. Now let's enable the Xposed modules, reboot, done!

Hughes is right

, he does a LOT of thinking, observation, testing, building, and reporting.

He is one, very valuable member to the group. None of us has "The CM11 blueprints Bible and Theory Manual" We learn as we go, we experiment, we conduct build reports, results, and confer with our peers. We all have special talents that no one else has. Who was it, 2¢ of joey that said his wife taps the screen in video cam mode, STOP to achieve focus lock and they get an FC. No doubt about it, the video camera, as fantastic as it is, has a bug. For me, it was pausing because I forget about focus lock. Tapping the tiny pause release button always crashed my camera and completely ruined the video file. But when I tried it, it did not crash. Focus lock showed red marks instead of green like still cam, and then I could pause and un-pause at will, never harming the video file. Once I closed the camera app, I got the FC but my video was there, in all it's glory. Tapping the video screen during a recording makes a still shot anytime you touch it. Tapping the video screen in stop mode invokes focus lock. Tapping the screen in pause seems to be where the problem lies. I have reported this and do to my forming an unverified conclusion, I was wrong, AGAIN, and it stalled the video camera work. From now on I must make my observations and not form a conclusion unless verified by others. So I am not always right. I can get close, I am right often, but then I can be a mile off base. We ALL have important things to contribute.

To make a long story short.

No I am not always right.

I have a lot of life experience and the patience to "wait another day". I know that nighlies all have one problem or another but they are getting better. If anyone here feels they must "Win this argument", be my guest. I will say "you win". Aside from all that, I give the best advice as a long time user that I can. 'night gentlemen. :victory:
