This stuff happens all the time. We are using nightly builds. Some are optimized and battery usage is good, others introduce a new element or interfere with an existing element and battery drain becomes worse. A pretty good tool for this that will help until the next update comes around and makes your battery life longer is Battery Doctor, a free app from the Play Store that helps a LOT with battery drain, statistics, and gives nice, staged charging and a charging "wallpaper" if you care to use it. Yes it has some slightly annoying "ads" but not worse than anything else if you do not fork over for the pay version.

Try it and you can learn more about the battery statistics, what apps use more power and put them puppies to bed with Greenify, and take advantage of the fast charge feature, v.s. standard and trickle charge. Otherwise, new build, new day, new issues and issues go away. Not just ONE update, but over the course of weeks or months. Like you, I would freak on some issue like the battery not lasting ½ day and "had to do something", but the builds roll on and the issue just went away. If you are a hard core battery saver, there are rules you can setup to reduce battery usage and squeeze every electron out of the battery. I appear to be cavalier about this only because as a long term member here, I have seen this and many other issues come and go, by themselves.

Don' sweat it, try the battery app, the issue will "go away" or reduce significantly in subsequent builds. "Don't worry. Be happy" :laugh:

OS accidently deleted

Dear members,

I accidently deleted my ROM and rebooted it.

Now I try to reinstall the ROM via an external card.

Got some problems with my battery as it's not loading....but anyway when I load it like, two days, I could enter the Recovery but when I choose the ROM to install I got this information:

failed to seek in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

Can someone help me?

Is the battery dead? I can't enter the recovery when I load my phone. I don't know why.

I have a Razr Maxx,

Best regards,

Hai

GPS will never go to High Accuracy if you are doing it from the pull down menu until you enable it. To do that, go to Settings/Location and TAP IT, do not just "turn it on" and see "On" button in top left corner. You see a list of location requests. At top is "Mode", in my screenshot, you can see "Battery Saving". Tap that button.See screen shot #2 and tap High Accuracy. You will get the Google agreement about location services, say Okay and you now have high accuracy again. Close settings. Now your pull down settings WILL toggle Battery Saving or High Accuracy.

It is "that agreement thing". Older releases shoved it in your face, EVERY time you tapped location reporting. Now you agree once with the above method and it becomes an option instead of warning you every time.

* OTA updated from 06/17 to 06/19. VERY good, so far...

HTH. :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
nthaifisch, I am not sure if I exactly understand your issue but apparently, a big part of it is battery. Shut the phone off, plug into charger, and press power long enough to light the screen. You should see a battery icon with a % charge remaining. Leave plugged in long enough to get to 100% charge and you can continue as before. Boot to Safe Strap, Restore, make sure your source is set to Ext SD Card, find your bacup, and swipe to restore it. Tell us any issues. You have an XT912 phone, yes? United States or elsewhere?

Make sure you have the latest Safe Strap installed, here is Safe Strap 3.73 for you to download and install, once you get a running, rooted OS installed.

So what's the deal, you got cm11 on slot one and cannot update it anymore? Oh, the entire rom is ruined so you have NO cm11. You know what I do, take my last couple of good backups and save them off the phone in Dropbox with ES File Explorer, AirDroid or USB to PC, and keep them for safekeeping. Then I can pop my ExtSDCard into a $10 card reader then shove it in my PC, copy the backup files over to the SD Card, and then put it back into the phone, allow it to self mount or mount it, and then in Safe Strap, Restore, tap location to Ext SD Card, and restore it. Placement of these backups is critical so use your file manager to find the exact location on your ExtSDCard to put them back. For me it is /storage/sdcard01/TWRP/BACKUPS/0000000000000000/ and there are all of your backup folders. Restore them to that location or whatever you have under /storage/sdcard01/TWRP/BACKUPS/* and put them there. Great for the future, not much help now.

So get the battery charged and install a rom. Put it on your EXTSDCard, pull the card, use a cheap USB card reader to download cm11 and pa-gapps and put them on the card, stick it back in the phone, and then install to slot one, after you wipe the crap out of it.

That should work, give it a try. :)

I was running the same setup on my wife's phone but it wont sleep very well and she gets no APN error. Wiping cache, android secure, and dalvik fixes it for about a day. Then it repeats... My phone tends to sleep, but I get the APN error sometimes. It's weird.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sonomazr2:
Weird. I am going to stay on this build because I haven't had an orange bar problem, but the real test will be Monday. If it doesn't show up then I will probably settle on 6/17 for awhile.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes 2¢, I hung out on 06/07 for quite a while. It was the lessor of the evils in what as been available lately. I would call it stable and usable for day to day stuff and that is how I used it for weeks. 06/13 introduced a LOT of new stuff, theme engine got cut loose with a lot of freedom to alter the UI all over the place causing FCs and other errors widespread. It may have also brought back the dreaded black screen I get hung on. Anytime I choke on black screens you get hung with APN and signal issues. Strange how the same update on the same hardware affects each person differently. Maybe provider or location, not sure.

06/13 bad among a dozen other things, it made my phone "chug" like when it was overloaded with Jellybean. Each update after that fixed or smoothed out things caused by it. Last one was 06/17, not bad, less orange than 06/16, now on 60/19, so far, so good. No orange but I must drive around a bit to see if signal remains solid.

You want something pretty stable and good, prior to the Friday the 13th debacle, then take 06/07. Want to be more up to date, try 06/19, latest, and make a Safe Strap backup first if what you have is pretty good. Or take 07 if not there yet, convince yourself it is not bad, backup in Safe Strap before going on to 19. Delete any backups that are months old, but for the one where you "went fresh" to avoid having to setup all accounts again.

I kept you and Joey's camera notes, I have been working on that issue for quite some time. Thanks. :laugh:

Still on 6/17, waiting to see what happens with 4.4.4 now. May try 6/19 for a stable base/backup while waiting to see what bugs come with the new build.

In addition to the random reboots that I have had, I also get a blank screen when someone calls, but I am able to answer by swiping like i normally do. I love the development and I dont mean to put down the great work that everyone involved is doing, I am just trying to report bugs. On 6/19, here is what I have seen:

- APN errors

- blank screen on incoming call

- won't wake up

- random reboots

- camcorder FC when trying to focus before taking video

- lags a little bit at times

- WIFI wont lock, it flashes back and forth between LTE and WIFI

- orange bars (but that is normal)

I'm not sure what I am doing different from those of you that say it works well. I did a clean install of 6/14 (I think) and then used cm updater to move to 6/19.

I tried going back to 6/7, but I get errors with the CM launcher. I guess I need to wipe clean to go back that far. Different theme engine, I believe.

I am now on 06/19 and this is GREAT. No more "orange icons", signal is what it is, good for the most part, nothing broken. I am taking 06/20 right now, these builds are cleaning up the 06/13 mess and are cautiously adding new features. Moving on to 06/20 with OTA! :D

UPDATE:

06/19 was GREAT! Now on 06/20 and it is NOT BETTER. Black screens, sluggish phone. Initial report. Stay with 06/19 for now, will report further. Stay on 06/19 if you have not taken the plunge to 06/19 already.

Is 6/20 really bad? Damn it. I was about to install it as well. Thanks Ohmster.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Reading all the early build reports, I'm struck by the comments on lock ups, freezes, sluggish performance, bad sleep etc. Please excuse me if I'm restating the obvious, but the cm install script automatically wipes cache and dalvik no matter how you install the ROM.

Coupled with the fact that cm11 prioritizes rebuilding these caches, if it doesn't crash, autodial Timbuktu or cause my phone to melt in my hand; I reserve judgement on performance issues until at least day two, if not three on a new ROM.

After settling for a couple of days, a ROM always seems to sleep more, run faster and cooler. If you don't believe it, wipe cache and dalvik on your comfortable build, then wait for it to start deep sleeping again, it can take hours!

FWIW: I'm on 6/20 with uptime over six hours and haven't seen a problem yet. OTA'd over 6/17 over 6/13 over 6/6 over 6/3 and I don't know what else back to early April (kinda wanted to start writing 'son of', reminded me of the 'begats'). Never replaced gapps, just let them update. Running cm kernel, Xposed and no battery managers.

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hmmm a personal thanks over an official Thanks is unusual, but always welcome from a good friend. And you, Noe, are a good friend. I gave that comment the moment the OTA finished, was updating Xposed at the time so perhaps my assessment of 06/20 is a bit premature. Yep, this is indeed 4.4.4 06/20. I have no between screenshots but 06/07 was 4.4.3 and this is a version higher. Once things settled down a bit, the build is good. I just had dinner at the other end of the house and the WiFi is not as strong there, perhaps 50%, so I use the phone WiFi AP to watch Law & Order SVU in 1080p on the laptop from the phone. Home WiFi too poor at that distance without lowering the resolution or pick something else to watch in low quality. It was perfect! Temperature goes up for AP and I hit 107° F. Cooled down when I shut the AP off.

A closer look shows 06/20 to be a good rom, so far. Once it settled in a bit. Phone is snappy, no orange icons, signal is a good 4 bar signal icon and it checks at -72dBm in phone status. When I drive around, I will know more but this is no worse than anything before it, I am keeping it and it is time to make another SS backup. Yes it is a good build, Noe.

My immediate report was premature.

If you have Safe Strap room, make a backup for peace of mind. Delete "month or more old" backups but for the last time you went totally clean. That is what I am going to do now. Been cleaning up after 06/13, each update was better than the one before it and this is no exception. So I need a backup in here somewhere.

Here are a couple of screenies to show you the version and build, as well as the signal. "Looking good Flo" "Feeling good" ...until The Sea Hag comes into view. LOL! :laugh:

Hope this helps. Sure you get an official Thanks for your interest and persistence. Goodnight buddy! :highfive:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
I'm giving 6/20 a go, off a clean install. My initial impression is its ok. For some reason in the status menu, it doesn't know my phone number or any of that. It all says unavailable, which I think is causing me some problems. I wiped cache and dalvik to see if that would fix the problem and it did. We'll see how it goes now.

For some reason, my wifi is all over the place. It bounces on and off like a ball on the basketball court. Not sure what is going on there. MyVerizon still doesn't auto login, but that's been a problem for a while. Here's to hoping for an awesome build soon! :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You are absolutely right Hughes. One cannot give an accurate build report, "on the spot" within 20 minutes of installing it. They *can* give the update method, any obvious problems, and if anything is immediately broken or new. That is what the followup report is for. Reporting twice on the same build within days is kind of dumb. But we are on the fast track, where nightlies come every night sometimes. Noe! really is looking for something new to flash and I kept him up to date with 06/13, 14, 16, 17, 19. and now he wants to know about 20. I just got the thing in, didn't initialized Xposed yet, and he wants a "how goes it". As far as the first ½ hour goes, pretty lousy but nothing out of the ordinary. I have been "cleaning up" with OTA new builds ever since 13 and it is nice now. I need a backup because this is pretty good, so far as cm11 goes. Just made one, good looking out, bra. :highfive:

When I make a build install report, I will *always*I do a follow-up if I find issues. I should put that disclaimer in my reports, many people would *know* another Member to be consistent like that. I can do a follow-up for *every* build install report, but that is redundant and what am I going to say, "Nothing wrong, still works great." But in reality, when I give a build install report, I tell how I did it (You would be amazed at how many people think OTA is a "dirty flash", will cause problems, and ONLY if they go clean can they expect a good, reliable rom.) Sure, there are bad builds like the #5 snapshot that acted that way, but it was a junk build. I tell if any problems encountered, if I had to do a manual, wipe caches, install anything else, and it is up and running good. And I really strongly encourage others to do the same for the sake of people with busy lives to get on with, wife at work, comes home for the kids, dad works, and having the phone down for a day while going clean because of a bad build is a disaster. They rely on these reports and I am one of them. :)

Bottom Line:

Nope, cannot rate performance until you run the thing at least a day or two or three. ;)

Head's up notification

I'm on the 6-21-14 nightly and I see that CM has added /activated the heads up feature. It is found in settings under notification drawer. It is a floating notification window that sounds similar to paranoid android. And they have been making a lot of changes to their stock trebuchet launcher that look interesting. I will probably stick with nova launcher for now but will be checking trebuchet more often to see if it adds more features.

Notification LED

I had updated to 06/20 and was really happy with it. Someone in the Q&A thread wants to push up the frequency and duration of the Notification LED. In Settings/Lights and Display/Pulse Notification LED is where you find it. You can adjust color, flash timing, and flash duration, plus the color for Normal, Voicemail, and Missed Call, and there is a big + to add anything you want. I set mine cyan for voicemail, mulberry for missed call, and stepped those up to a quick flash every 3 seconds. But, my "Normal" Notification LED for "AOK,. all systems go) would not light at all, period. Yes, when in the adjustment panel it did, but when phone is sitting normal, dark screen, sleeping, no Normal Notification LED.

Can someone on 06/20 or around that period please verify No Normal Notification LED on sleeping phone for me?

I went back to 06/07 from backup and it is working normally again. The only significant thing I can remember is making Apex Launcher a system app. I probably should not have done that because I want Trebuchet when it gets finished. But on 06/07, the normal LED is flashing away. The color change in "display and lights", "pulse notification LED" seems to be the only thing that works. The actual LED timing does not appear to be affected other than the demo while in the adjustment screen. But why did my Normal Notification stop at 06/20? Was it the build or that I made Apex a system app? I reverted to 06/07 and will probably update to 19 to see what happens. Any of you able to clear up the Notification LED information by confirming it or reporting different results? Thank you very much for your time, testing, and efforts.

Anybody else? Notification LED not working or not normal in later builds, 06/20 or there abouts?

Thanks guys. :eek:

NOTE:

I had made Apex Launcher a system app, perhaps that had something to do with it. Once reverting to backup 06/07, the system app was gone and the Notification LED works. Updating to 19 also results in Notification LED working. Was it making my launcher a system app or did builds after 06/19 cause it to stop working?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, try the things I recommended. Asking questions in a PM is not generally a good idea. You reveal details of your condition, no one else who could possibly help you does not see these details or the efforts you make, and it does not get archived to help others with similar problems. A PM is more for a personal question or something, try to use the system effectively. I do not mind PMs unless they are excessive but they do defeat the purpose of helping yourself and others with similar issues. Enjoy your weekend and we will see you next week. :D
