Oh you are right on, krestian, I have pain and medicine issues like every month now with my new insurance company

and it puts me off the board for a week or more. "Too nice" Yep, been burned by it more times than I care to remember.

He will be back if he wants something. I got "too many under my wing now to care for" and cannot take one more. I am over it. Remember, I am from the "Old Days" where we did not have web boards. Only Usenet and if you asked for help in there, you got it man, more brains than NASA. But if they though you were trying to get them to do your homework for them, they would tell you to bug off. A lot of infighting, cliques, and real help. Netiquette is a big issue in Usenet. Being rude, asking for help and not reporting the results was a big offense. Worst ones would ask for help and then have the balls to request you email them the help, personally as "they were too busy to come check here for answers". Man that PO'd a lot of people with that attitude. We post questions and answers here, your answer may help countless others. We do not "help by Telegram".

By the way:

I have been running 06/25 for over a day, OTA update, traveled with it, and cannot find anything wrong with it. Last time I saw orange was the Reese's candy cup I ate. Thumbs up for 06/25 - Good Build. Just updated to 06/26, went well, will give a report once I put it through it's paces. But ever since 0-6/17, the builds were good, getting better, and now are tops! And 06/07 was also "a keeper".

New age, new day, I got things to do and worrying about [MENTION=952807]nthaifisch[/MENTION] is not in my list of priorities. I got no issues. We are all good here! :victory:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Isn't a board like this here to help the new ones? I've started with zero knowledge about 3 years ago. I was thankful for every help I got in another board, wasn't here on xda. I've just asked him bcoz I got the same problem, no os installed, no custom recovery and low battery and with zero knowledge it's easier to get help from someone with tells you with live steps, or isn't it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] arnab:
Any1 wanna test a new rom for cdma razr...see the general section.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Man stupid orange bars. I too have been getting them lately and LTE issues too when disconnecting wifi. I tried the fix that I posted and it didn't work. Maybe something has changed in the recent nightlies 4.4.4?

Can anyone confirm?

Edit I got it working...

Have to copy the xml file from the zip that I posted earlier then Goto APNs, select the menu buttons, then "Reset to default". Then reboot and everything will be good. BTW the APN that I used is the one found in the zip from Ohmster from page 452. So thanks to Ohmster for the fix.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laurorual:
I'm having problems with offline charging. Is this normal? Would JBX fix this problem?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Just to make life easier if you update, here's a flashable zip from Ohmster's file. It deletes the copies, automatically resetting default for you. Just flash in recovery and go.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Yeah, [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I'm that guy :D

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Lots of OMAP stuff in tomorrow's build. Should be interesting...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
Craptastical battery life, or WHAT?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Looks like an OGRAZR with a belly-up battery my friend! Time for a maxx battery kit
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
I tried this. Unfortunately still having orange bars and dropping to 3g. Thanks to everyone trying to fix it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
FWIW: Here's a stock VZW zip I made a while back, you can try this if you'd like. Let me know if it's any different! Where are you, geographically?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
US. For the past week in Utah. I can see the cell tower from my room.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
So you are out of your home region. Did you try dialing *228 to program your roaming config? Worth a try if you haven't.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
I've been in NC and FL in the past 2 weeks. *228 didn't work there. I just tried it here. We'll see. Thanks.

Edit- Nope. Still orange bars.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vazersecurity:
Anyone havin' APN issues after 06-27? Updating to this build removed all APNs and is preventing me from adding new ones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
I hit restore to default last night and that happened.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Aah, shame you guys and these APN issues, XT910 is no problem.

Lol, and what is up with setting up roaming in US? Different providers in different States? Odd setup. Here we have only 4 providers nationwide (some don't manage to cover all the remote areas of course). My provider is fairly new and share towers with another provider - so I must enable roaming for data services if I want a data connection at all times). Just a bit of hogwash... Lol.

Anyhow, yeah, current builds are running great. Still on 06/25 but moving along maybe tomorrow.

Keep up the hard work guys.

Stable could be coming along soon (give or take a few months)...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Yeah. After I installed 6/27 I got no APN within about 12 hours. The previous builds were working fine...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh Jesus, that's bad. You know, a build date would help us a lot here. Nightlies are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.

Cell Standby? What the heck is that? Your phone is NOT going to sleep like it should, I would venture to guess. Unless you are on a really crappy build, we don't know, you did not tell us, I would strongly suggest you install Wakelock Detector-Save Battery to see what is keeping or waking your phone all the time and even Battery Doctor to help speed charge rates, slow discharge by controlling various components and services of the phone. Only bad thing about Battery Doctor is they want money and it is free, so you get annoying popups at times for other services they can provide.

My advice, tell us the build you are using or install 06/07 or 06/21-26, get Wakelock installed to find out what is draining the battery, and use Battery Doctor for at least a week to see if it helps. Turn off services you are NOT using like WiFi, GPS, WiFi AP, things that use power and do not have the screen at "full blast". The auto brightness feature in cm11 works pretty good. Sorry to hear all this, hope some of this advice helps. :good:

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Yeah I see it. Hopefully some of it may help with black screen, although the builds are so good now that even THAT is not the problem it once was. Yeah, I am going for it. The 27 build does not look very exciting, but I have been "following the tree" down all the branches and it gets better and better. If the new build does not come soon enough, I will probably go for the 06/27 in between build.

Hey, you had all the MMS-APN and orange icons issues. What build are you on now and how is it for you? I think you had success, right 2¢?

If so, back that up, man!

:)

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Info on XT910 phones is so rare that any significant information on them gets a Thanks from me. You use the umts_spyder builds, right? Are there special pa-gapps for that model or do you just use the same pa-gapps as the rest of us? The pa gapps page says "For all roms" so I am thinking they are good for the 910 too. I am asking because whemix in the Q&A thread needs serious help with his 910 phone and I really don't know a lot about them. But, nobody else will help so I am going through it with him. Thanks! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
I was on the 06-26 nightly with JBX 3.4, with the max CPU 1.3 GHz and min 100 MHz. GPU was 384 MHz. I was messing with the theme chooser sooooo, my battery was really bad because I kept rebooting.:p I'm now on the 06-27 with the cm kernel, with greatly improved battery life, and deep sleep is now working!:) I guess the "experimental" JBX was the problem.

Thanks for the help!:)

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

BTW I have my sim card removed.

BTW, I'm not a newb when it comes to android.:):p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hmmm, kind of figured there was something going on we did not know about. Dude, I *love* the JBX kernel, mostly for the 100MHz overclock. But the battery friend and other settings are quite useful as well, they just do not go with overclocking. But with cm11 nighlies upgrading almost every night, I would have to spend ½ my life reinstalling the custom kernel. OTA is such a sweet, fast, and easy way to upgrade that I cannot overlook it. And at the frequency I update my builds, I depend on that OTA method to update quickly and efficiently. AND, sometimes the JBX code lags behind the cm11 code because JBX is NOT updated at the same rate as cm11. Getting a new build that is not compatible with the current JBX build is a real headache. Any feature available in JBX is available in Xposed modules or apps but for one, overclocking. That extra 100MHz is great for bragging rights, and may even make the phone performance noticeably better, but it comes at a price. I tried "Performance" mode on JBX and did a benchmark, WOW! That was impressive. But the phone would lock up, FC, crash, reboot, and black screen constantly. You could not put it down for a couple of hours and expect it to work when you picked it up. This is way too complicated for such a small gain that I gave it up.

Now it is just cm11 and the initial pa-gapps package. OTA updates anytime I want, and I make Safe Strap backups of "the good ones". Life is so simple now. :D

Glad you figured it out and even more glad that you shared it with us. Many would kill themselves trying to figure this out. And many are fixated on JBX like it is so important that not to have it means why even bother having a phone. If cm11 were final and stable, I would install JBX, not go nuts with extreme settings, and be happy with it. But for nightlies, nah, not worth it. ;)

Good job troubleshooting it dude! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Haven't gotten that far yet, still on 06/26 and the change log didn't impress me enough with 06/27 enough to jump on it. I never get APN issues, my2cents gets them all the time but I think he finally got a good build and is happy now. Him and chinkster would be good to talk to about this. You make backups? I do, I have been updating like crazy ever since 06/13 nuked my phone. Each new build make it better and better until it "got good again". Really good. Our developer Stargo told me today that he optimized the CPU frequency code a bit to make it snappier, wake easier, and be smoother and I will attest to all of these claims.

I do not make backups on every build, only the good ones that test positive in every way for at least 2 days running. Can you revert to a backup that is not "very old" and then just update to 06/26?

Hey I got a heads up for you, vazersecurity. Look at the attached image and quickly tell me, "where is the post in this image"? For you, the answer will be immediately. But others might have to scratch their heads a bit. Your signature is so similar to the framework of the board itself, that I saw this post at least 5 times, skipped it because I did not immediately see a post in there, and finally realized this is vazersecurity. We are friends. He must be posting something. And there it was, at the very top, a single line of low impact text. Don't get me wrong, I think you did a great job with making your sig and posts seem like a part of the board, but maybe too much like the framework of the board with all the brown logos and XDA information. If there were 3 or 4 paragraphs of text in the post, I would for sure see it right away. But the way it is, I missed it at least 5 times. LOL! :laugh:

I am not "down on your sig" or anything, do as you please. But if I didn't share this with you and make an image to see, you may have never realized this. Nice work, you should be part of the graphic design team for XDA! :D

Soooo, how recent is your last Safe Strap backup?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh man, duuuuuude! You were finally swimming in clean water and now, this?? No way can we let this happen. I have been rocking and rolling on these builds, ever since 06/13 nuked it. I wanted to revert to BU so bad but 06/14 came out fast, it helped some, but still bad. Then an update every night, each one improving the phone, A LOT. By 06/26, where I am now, I am like in Hog Heaven! Installed Cloud Print to show it could be done and make a tutorial for a member who could not get it. And backed it up.

I got news from Stargo today that may make you want to stay with a recent build.

...question is, how recent? The message was created "Yesterday, 11:30 AM" and it is 12 minutes after midnight here, June 29. So are the new cpu settings in 06/27 or 06/26? My phone is running great so I am willing to believe 06/26. vazersecurity just posted he has the dreaded APN issue after updating to 06/27. Dammit! That is TWO MEMBERS reporting this APN issue returning on the 06/27 build. There could be an error in the code. I do not want to "cry wolf" but if anymore members come forward to report that 06/27 put back the APN issues, I will request a code review. :(

...you got any backups not too old? 06/07 was really good. If you even have that backup, revert to it and then OTA update back to 06/26. If the answer I really do not want to hear is "NO, I do not have any backups", then Stargo did say not long ago you "could" flash an older version over a newer one and it should work. Unless they are "super different or way far apart" then it might not work. So you flash cm11 again. For you, I would definitely try it to get your APN list back. You can wipe cache, dalvik, android.secure, and in your case, system, since you will be replacing it by flashing 06/26. I asked the question about flashing an older version over a newer one to restore something broken, Stargo replied and another member said he does that a LOT and never got burned by it. You can try it without wiping system and if that does not fix it, try again and wipe system. System is wiped and flashed on every build anyway.

Give it a try dude. You and chinkster have been getting your bloody arses kicked in forever with this issue. To be rid of it must be SO nice. And if it works, please tell me you will make a backup of it in Safe Strap! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
That tweak cpufreq change is not in the 06/27 build according to CM11 Nightlies Changelog - Spyder. It was supposed to be in 06/28 which never got posted. I'm looking forward to trying the change.

I'm on 06/27 and have no problems to report.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] segordon:
Well I'll be leaving the razr wagon next week. I have a S4 coming by next Tuesday. So now I will have to learn a new phone all over again.

From a LG Ally to a Bionic to a Razr Maxx to a S4.

Tapped from my Razr Maxx from the dark side of CM11 4.4.4!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh shoot! It IS in the next nightly which is not released yet, I see it now.

omap4-common: tweak cpufreq configuration (android_device_motorola_omap4-common)

Oh, I guess he was telling me he had it working in the lab but did not send it to publish yet. As you can see, the quote is very short. But he was very upbeat and excited about it so it must be a really good thing.

I never get APN problems and have a backup. I will update to it just to confirm. It is really weird how the same make and model phone, with the very same build of cm11 can have such different problems in different areas or users. Only thing I can think of as a variable is the provider. That alone might not explain it. Some on Verizon get APN, yet others don't. It could be location specific. Just not enough information to know. Let me check backups and battery.

I got a full battery and a current backup. Yikes! I am on 3G. I am so used to seeing 4G on my icon bar that this is a major buzz kill. I wonder if about phone tells the true connection state rather than relying on the icon? Can't tell. This icon in the notification bar is all I got to tell me and I use ExThemer Rainbow icons, permissive to change color for server connection state, Gravity Box gives me the 4G indicator. 3G really bites. That like never happens. Okay, taking this 06/26 puppy to 06/27 to see what happens. Perhaps I was premature in giving this build it's blessing. Will report. The phone notification shows cm11 06/27 coming down at 300KBps. I understand Kbps so to convert it is 2.4Mbps. that is not good for 4G, up to 30Mbps is where my 4G tops our around, but that is FAST! but 3G bites so bad I think it is out of range for that. I will have to do an official speed test after this.

Thanks for the heads up on the frequency mod, mikeoswego. Everybody deserves an Official Thanks here. Beats throwing them away at midnight. :laugh:

Ahhhh rub it in, whydoncha? :p

I want one of those big Galaxy phones real bad. What is an S4? Give me a URL to check it out, or I will find it myself. Just kind of busy lately. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
ony 3G available on last few nightlies

Anyone else notice that the last few updates only give a 3G signal? In Gravity Box, you can pick notification signal and pick LTE, something else, or 4G. I picked 4G and love to see that pop up on my signal bar. But after the compaints on o6/27 and I am on 06/26. I checked my signal bar. 3G. No way! I have Verizon Unlimited! Speed Test. 2Mbsp up and .8 down on 3G, updated to 27, same thing. Reverted to 06/07, a GREAT build, and I got 4 G. 20Mbps up, 10Mbps down.

I so wish I saved the 06/07 zip file but I didn't, only have a Safe Strap backup of it and it is very, very good. Going back to 07 until they fix this signal speed issue. 3G is a deal breaker because I use my phone as a WIFi AP and watch HDTV shows at the dinner table because the home WiFi is too weak at that end of the house and use the phone for internet on the Tablet, no more HDTV on 3G.

Anybody else confirm? Can you get 4G data on any build 06/13 to present? Yes/No.

This is a really important question, go out of your way please!

If you really are unsure, would you please do a speed test?

Speedtest.net

3G Download 2Mbps or less: Upload .8 Mbps

4G Download 20-30Mbps: Upload 10Mbps range

Thank you!

Hey, Ohmster, sorry I see there are a lot of posts since this - I am quite sick and just not good.

Anyhow, the XT910 is really the same as the XT912. All information on this thread is just as useful to me as to you. Except... I'm not having APN issues / 4G drops (XT910 does not have LTE) / poor signal issues (unless this is carrier related, but here by me you almost always have a good signal unless you go to some remote area - Seriously, I didn't even know people looked at the signal bar - I never do). But otherwise, everything else is the same.

Isn't CDMA mostly used in the US (N & S America)? I always assumed GSM phones then were most other countries (except maybe some European countries) - I have absolutely not looked into this whatsoever, so my facts are not facts!! - So info should not be scarce, but maybe the people are just not as bothered or something.

I use the exact same PA GApps (Mini modular). I think though JBX has two builds - one for each phone, but I don't use JBX, so can't really remember, otherwise, really, this thread is as useful to XT910 as for all of you (let me say, minus network connection/signal related matters).

[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Yeah I noticed that a few days ago and posted. Then I also posted a fix and someone made a flashable zip of it. It was actually your fix from like page 152 iirc. Just replace the apns-conf.xml and reset the apns then reboot or flash the zip a few pages back.

Hope that this helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] will.bates94:
Having a small issue with mine when you wake the Droid Razr. The phone will work just fine while you have the screen on and you do not lock it or let it lock. If it does, sometimes when you try to wake the screen it comes up all static looking and you must reboot the phone. I have switched up settings, turned off the animations and wiped caches, and even re installed the rom again. Any ideas as to what is causing this issue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, Hughes does that stuff, he is really good at it. I saw the first one he made and it was mentioned to fix orange bars. Then a second complaint was made about orange bars and dropping to 3G. Hughes replied again with the zip file. Since I thought it was for APN only, I didn't download it, or pay attention to my signal strength. Then freaked when I tried all my backups in the 06/20's and only 3G. I got the file now, will flash and Thank Hughes if it works.!

Thank you! :good:

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

Hughes,

This will get rid of 3G? I never get APN issues but the last week of builds all suck and put me at 3G. Since I never get APN issues, I didn't think anymore about it. But one guy really complained of orange bars and 3G drops. You gave him the Ohmster APN zip that you made. Will this really do it? I went back to 06/07 to get 4G back and now am restoring to 06/26 to try your zip. Hope this works, man. :fingers-crossed:

UPDATING:

I just had beautiful 4G in 06/07, restored to 06/26, and BAM! Back to 3G. Just flashed your zip, wiped cache and dalvik, and am biting my nails waiting for this thing to get up and running to see if it helps...

Oh man, 3G again on 06/26. :(

Got 4G now. Went into Mobile Network Settings and took away CDMA/EvDo auto and back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo, toggled "data enabled" and BAM! 4G, with orange icons. Well, later I will try it again, reinstall my backup to dump the zip, and see if the network changes fix it alone.

...orange is gone. Takes a while to get connected. :)

Thanks for your help, Hughes, you are one very talented man! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottgti:
I still have orange bars after flashing the zip.
