:fingers-crossed: Have you checked file and folder permissions?? I use a custom boot animation, 1 alarm, 9 notification, and 14 ringtones that I add, use ES File Explorer to copy files and set permissions!! Over flashes, have seen a variety "permission" errors here, sometimes my custom ogg files will appear twice in "Media Storage" list when selectin' Alarm/Notifications/Ringtones!! When that happens, always choose "first" one in list, on reboot "double" may be replaced by "number" where ever you chose it!! :D:good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sebbesapa:
I think you have to be on something higher than Android 2.3.5 but i can be wrong...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JovieBrett:
Just reinstalled the v3.63, still on that kind of glitch and I have to hard reset it in order to reboot the phone ://

I tried to search but as of now, I never found someone else that have experienced that same issue on the recovery :( Maybe I really need to update the device to ICS in order for the recovery to work properly? Btw, just saw the required stock ICS files for flashing but why it does consists of 600-800MB? Just oh my god -_-

[MENTION=1376796]sebbesapa[/MENTION] I'll try to accept the OTA update to 2.3.6 but it take so really long to update, I just dont really understand why is the update size so huge :'(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
You say you can intact with the screen. I think the most important thing is that you do not let the battery die. If you can get into your stock OS or get to the off state and keep the battery charged you may find some help in the Safestrap thread.

Sorry, wish I knew more to help.

But don't let your battery die.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
With some simple copy and pasting I've fixed the issue. Copied ringtones from system/media/audio/ringtones to storage/sdcard1/ringtones and all the ringtones showed up. Then copied notifications from system/media/audio/notifications to storage/sdcard0/media/audio/notifications and they showed up. Anyone have a clue why they are in 2 different areas of the sdcard? Baffles me.

[MENTION=4882455]soundgirl101[/MENTION] I don't even know where to start with changing permissions. Where to navigate in es file explorer and what to do when I get there? Love to learn if you could give me a quick guide!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JovieBrett:
Thank you for that, will look most of it on safestrap thread, I hope this problem is existing on some other users :( Will give you thanks later as if Im on a limited stuff :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] soundgirl101:
:D:good: Hangouts creates folder "media" on sdcard!! Folder in /system/media/audio should be the default system folder for all "tones"!! "Media Scanner" will "read" "media" folder on sdcsrd and adds them to Media Storage!! I don't use Hangouts for sms, so not sure if this a "Hangouts" setting or not!! I would be more then happy to help/guide you on ES File Explorer use!! PM me for help, so as to keep thread "on topic"!! :cool::good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Good luck! As for thanks you just did.

Michael, still no signal drop on your test build and for me, no other issues that I have noticed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sebbesapa:
By "higher than Android 2.3.5" i meant Android 4.x...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Omegadrive:
IMO you may need to RSD to official 4.1.2 and start from there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JovieBrett:
Ok but why is these firmwares are really huge in size? Im just really curious about that because I only have a limited internet connection on downloading stuffs :( http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=10

Rather than this one? http://www.4shared.com/zip/znncE-Zr/blur_version65116726xt910retai.html this one is an ICS OTA file. Anyway do you have any other links on ICS update package? I decided to manually flash it via stock recovery because my wifi is so slow right now, still 12% on over 2 hours waiting -_- [MENTION=4867965]Omegadrive[/MENTION] okay but is these official firmwares listed here is the one that I will use in RSD? http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=10
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Omegadrive:
These are the official firmwares:

Can I use any firmwares to flash even if my device is a korean version? (I HOPE IT CAN PLEEEEASE FINGERS-CROSSED)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
That's great to hear :)

If I get no negative reports until tomorrow evening (CET, ok evening is not a time, but you get the idea), I'll push the fix to the CM repository.

You have to use the region's firmware unless you are willing to delete your CID.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chiahead52:
does anyone else have issues viewing a picture sent by mms? When I open it from the messaging app, it just shows a blank screen of the gallery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JovieBrett:
Oh my, my region firmware isn't available on the list :// so the only option is to delete my CID then flash a firmware from the list. Anyway how to backup CID? is there an option on RSD?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Gotcha.

Do you have any ideas about the Google server issues?

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

No issues here. I'm using Textra for my messaging replacement and have stock disabled.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xpresotw:
R u sure ?

I'm gonna flash this on stock slot but i'm afraid :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
i'm running this on Stock slot as well.

if you're afraid, might not be the best idea.

after one flash of a new nightly I got stuck at the red M. didn't even make it to the SafeStrap splash screen. I had to reinstall Stock 4.1.2 using House of Moto, so it's not without risks.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Aside from the memory savings are there other advantages to using stock slot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
I have had way fewer problems on stock slot it seems than others have been having on a lot 1 or 2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I'm on stargo's test build right now waiting for a signal drop and hoping I don't get it.

My only issue other than that is the Google server connection causing loss of push notifications.

I can upgrade now and I'm thinking Droid Maxx, so If the worst happens I have that option.:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
+1. I've had fewer problems too, and I ran on slot 1 for a while before taking the leap. Never tired slot 2 though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I've tried slot 1 and 2. Don't see any real difference. Stock is next.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] suprkain:
Does anyone know why there were 2 nightlies for 20140211? Also does anyone know why there wasn't a nightly for 20140212 or 20140213 as of yet? I know this might seem a little ridiculous but for cm 11 has been the best rom for me and I always look forward to flashing the latest nightly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Here are the change logs.

http://www.cmxlog.com/11/spyder/#cm-11-20140211-NIGHTLY-spyder.zip
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
if you look at the time-stamps, the first 20140211 was added on 2/10 about 19hrs before the 2nd one, so maybe a time-zone thing when the file got named?

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=spyder&type=nightly

for 2/12, it was posted a page or two ago that the builds failed for all the OMAP4 devices.

for 2/13, it's typically a couple more hours before I usually see a new update so I think there's still a chance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Stargo,

Uh oh.

I was trying to send multiple text messages with Textra and got messages that they failed. I guess they actually did send because I got responses from several.

Then I got a phone call and could not hear, nor could I disconnect the call. I also had no internet connection.

I tried to look at mobile network settings and just got a black screen. I tried to capture logs.

I finally had to reboot.

Things seen normal now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, the mini modular pa gapps are very, very good. Only ones that would work for me at all and never had any issue with them. Plus you get to pick how much bloat you want, very little or none, to the Full Monte. Trust me, you do not want the entire package, Google Earth and Google + take up huge amounts of card space and are things I personally would never use on a cell phone. Standard maps, search, playstore, etc. is fine and you get all that in the mini modular. Good tip vanhoo!

Hello. Have you seen that issues? --- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50264230&postcount=2604
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Update Advice, backlight out sometimes

Hey Guys,

I am running CM11 02/11 and am quite fine with it. I personally do not want to update every day, just for the hell of it. My phone works perfectly (knock on wood) and never requires a reboot for anything, ...almost. I don't lose signal, WiFi, data, or WiFi AP. The ONLY issue I get once in a while is that the device will seem to lock up on a blacked out screen, ...sometimes. This might happen if I am talking on the phone on speaker, screen blacks out, and call ends. I try to tap power to restore screen light, but nothing happens. The phone is running, I can see the normal activity on the LED, but nothing seems to help restore the screen back light. Only option at this point is to hold Vol Down and Power until I see small flash on screen indicating that the unit has been "hard powered down". Press and release power button again to start phone normally.

OR, I might tap power after call ends to try to restore back light just as it begins to light on it's own and lose the back light and cannot get it back on w/out a hard, manual reboot w/vol down and power button.

Like I said, usually this happens during a call where screen normally blanks out. Not sure if it happens on it's own. Past releases yes, that was a full lockup, but not this build. Just occasionally if "I do not end a call right", whatever the hell that means. There is no "right way" to end a call, either party hangs up and call ends. So what. But I might get stuck at a black screen when this happens. This is not a "regular event", it may not happen at all or it might happen 1 or 2 times a week.

Anybody else see or have this problem?

Phone Details: Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, Verizon, US, XT912, CM11 02/11

I am asking this question because most of the chatter here seems to be about signal loss and special builds for testing. Since I have no such issue, I am hesitant to update. Only issue is the rare lockup at black screen, usually when a call ends. This happens 1-2 x week or not at all. Anyone else?

Are current releases suitable for standard update or are we testing signal loss builds? Thanks guys.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
I would restart fresh:

Here in xda there is a post with stock firmwares for our RAZR. I'd download the right 2.3.x for you phone and apply it using RSD Lite. There are a couple of simple tutorials.

Then, once Android stock is healthy again with no traces of Safestrap, I'd do OTA upgrade to ICS.

Root and try Safestrap again.

My two cents.

Meneldur @ XT910

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

I think there's a repartition process from Gingerbread to ICS. Since there's no backup, data may be in danger. I'd better go using stock Gingerbread, OTA to ICS and start from there.

Meneldur @ XT910

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

I had this behavior on early February nightlies, one I reported being "a nightmare" and not talking, just after an hour of use or so.

Never had it again since that version. I'm now on latest 0211, XT910.

Meneldur @ XT910

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

I always wait for a day before applying new nightlies. I think that if nasty bugs passed unnoticed to a new nightly, devs would surely post a new version swiftly. When I see two nightlies in one day, that's what might have happened. :)

Meneldur @ XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Ohmster,

What you describe is exactly the issue Michael has been working on. Perhaps because you are in an area with consistently good signal you do not see it as often.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
20140213 is available now ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Huh? What are you talking about, moset? I said I "don't have" signal loss issues. I think it is because I am on Verizon and in South Florida. We are saturated with signal in this area and with Verizon, they are probably "the best", "Premium" provider, but they sure are expensive. They are "super nice" on the phone about anything. Customer service, options, new phones, service, but for ONE THING. Money. Just "try" and mention that Sprint is offering unlimited data, 4G service, unlimited text and phone, or anybody cheaper and you want to pay less than $150/Mo., and "nice guy" goes away. FAR away!

And, I have an XT912 phone. Many of the individuals with signal issues seem to be on an XT910 or have inferior service or are on a foreign carrier, I think. Personally, I do not like the $150/M. bill (Including taxes and fees. Plan cost like $120-130 until taxes hit.).

Meneldur said he had this problem in early February builds and that is what I am using. Stuck on a black screen issue. But he does have an XT910. I should just update, have a good recovery anyway and see it the situation improves. This "black screen stuck" is frustrating because it is not a regular thing. It might never happen or it might happen several times, always seems to be when call ends, screen is dark, and try to resume screen. Usually waiting for the screen to light up on it's own and I want to press the hang up button or it just does not light back up and I press it anyway. The original behavior of this phone is to black out the screen when you have it to your face. If on speakerphone, it stays lit until it times out. Tapping power should light it up to hang up. Or take it away from your face it should resume lighting the screen, but I use speakerphone a lot. Or Blutetooth, same thing, phone is not near my face to use proximity sensor to darken the screen.

I just want to be sure the current releases are stable and not experimenting with signal loss. I think Micheal is doing that as "unofficial" releases so I need not worry about it. I think with an XT912, premium carrier, and saturated signal area, I won't have signal issues. Maybe if I switch to Metro, which I am not going to do, don't like their service or policies of update or upgrade and can never downgrade your plan to save cost because they "burn it into the serial number of the device". You want to downgrade your plan? Buy a new phone. I swear that is what they told me on several occasions with girlfriends. Metro might have signal loss, they are not big like Verizon. There are areas where Verizon is not thick like Rocky Mountains and all, but I don't live there so I wouldn't know. I will upgrade and keep you posted. I would do anything to help Micheal but I don't want to intentionally disable my phone reliability. This is what I use to talk to people and I am amazed I made this leap with phone prior to doing it with the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 1st. Normally I would not experiment with the phone like this but CM10.2 was EOL and the only thing left was CM11. And this thread is LONG and addresses just about everything. Gosh, I talk too much. Who wants to read this much? Keep you posted, moset.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
:(

Ok, then the backport from 3.4 did not fix it :(

Did you manage to capture a dmesg log?

I have one more idea, but I don't think that I'll manage to spin a test-build today (it's already 11PM here...), but I hope that I'm able to do that tomorrow.

That's interesting. Some big usb-changes got integrated in the middle of january, maybe they are the cause.

Question to you and moset: Did you ever experience this issue before 2014-01-12? That's the date whan Hashcode merged my USB updates...

If not then I can just try reverting them bit-for-bit and hope to find the right one (I have two changes in mind which might cause this and will revert them in my test-build tomorrow).

As moset said, that's exactly the issue. The USB-host in the phone crashes (the modem is connected via USB to the processor) and the everything which tries to access anything USB related will hang. It's very likely that this could also lead to a deadlock in the backlight-driver.

Regards,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drewski_1:
ahh . . . I guess I haven't been following this closely enough.

I haven't visually seen the signal loss (hollow signal triangle and "No Signal" message), but I have had the black screen that required reboot so it does sound like I've had some signal drops.

ignorance is bliss? :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
Michael,

I sent you the dmesg log.

I have been flashing almost daily from the first CM11 and only noticed this problem in the last couple of weeks. Since it is so random I can't say when.

I noticed others mention it for about a week before I first experienced it myself.

I don't get or make many calls and that seems to be at least in part, the trigger. Not always.

As for the signal icon it seems to actually get stuck whatever it was before the crash. Mostly for me everything else works that is local just no communication.

Every time though there are anomalies in the mobile network settings menu.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
Nope.

This glitch got me only on 0205, perhaps one time using the version before that but mostly on 0205. And a lot.

Meneldur @ TF700t
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I feel a need to say this. I don't mean to be antagonistic.

I have followed this thread from the start and I think I have read every post at least once. As I see it the purpose of this forum is the sharing of information and helping others, including noobs, developers, and everyone in between. I have tried to help whenever I felt I had information that was helpful. I have been quick to point out my own limitations. There is much I don't know. I do know a little. Mostly I try to know when I don't know and not to give bad advice or information.

One thing I do know is that making a new OS work for so many different devices is challenging. That is the very reason that many manufacturers do not upgrade older phones, not to mention their desire to sell newer phones. Another Issue is the differences in user circumstances. Installed Apps, Service area, use, device differences, etc.

I know that what works for one person may not work for others. I am NOT an expert. If I say something I try to be sure what I say is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I try to do a little research before I make comments. Most of all I try to make it clear what my level of understanding is and not state as fact things that I don't know to be fact.

I only ask that others do the same.

Finally, I BIG thank you to those developers who spend so much of their time working on our problems and sharing their work freely. My guess is their reward is self satisfaction and perhaps padding their resume LOL.

I am always ready to be corrected when I'm wrong but not so much when I'm not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmsmeltzer2000:
Yep, I'm still getting data lockup issues also. Toggling airplane mode did not fix, have to reboot. Running yesterday's unofficial build. Also having issues sending pictures via handouts, don't know of It's related. Hoping the days issues can be resolved, seems for me to be the 3g to 4g handoff that screw's it up.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
I always download on my phone directly. I have read many suggestions that one should download to the computer and transfer to phone.

Is there ant connection? I would guess that if there were an issue with downloading directly to phone it would show up on installation rather than after.

Are any of you who are having the signal problem downloading to your computer then transferring to phone?

So many variables.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jmsmeltzer2000:
I always download straight to phone. Don't see that being the problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
I have had issues both over the phone, and computer downloads. Lately, it has been computer for me because I struggle to get a complete download over WiFi on the phone. I have been on the latest test build since yesterday morning. No total loss yet. I still get the orange signal Google disconnect frequently though. I was at home all day switching between 3g and 4g frequently as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JovieBrett:
Thank you but I've downloaded an official JB 4.1.2 firmware for my device and will flash it via RSD but before that, someone says that I must backup first the CID because I will need to delete the CID before flashing firmware to my device via RSD so now, can you teach me how to backup CID? I'm on stock 2.3.5 GB firmware and rooted :) Btw, do you know how huge is the file size of ICS OTA update? Or any links so I can just manually flash it via RSD or recovery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] amfetamine:
02-13 looking good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Meneldur:
I'm pretty sure there isn't.

There's no difference, only if file gets corrupt which is simply discarded using the corresponding MD5 hash companion file. :)

Meneldur @ XT910

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

Hmm, good point. Didn't have that CID issue in mind but I remember it. I can't help you directly from my memory but I saw a post in xda about CID backup. You should be able to find it in a couple of seconds.

The OTA update has the same size as a full ROM, between 200 and 250 MB. You can find the stock firmwares in this thread of RAZR development. It's called something like "huge post of stock firmwares".

Since you can't boot your phone because of the rare SS problem you showed us, I think the best way is to reinstall the original stock firmware using RSD Lite. Then you root and you are clear to go OTA ;)
