[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] I think the problem may have been resolved (in the Seattle area anyway). I've not had the orange bar problem for several days now. I'm on currently on the the 4/30 nightly using the default mobile network settings (Preferred network type: Global, APN: LTE-Verizon Internet).

I did do a fairly clean install of CM and PA full modular GApps (4/26a version). By fairly clean I mean I wiped system, secure, dalvik cache, and cache partitions (did not wipe data partition) before flashing CM and GApps. Not sure if this flash procedure, or CM, or Google, or Verizon fixed the problem, but no more orange bars in Seattle area so far. Fingers crossed :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Interesting, I just moved out of Philly and I often travel to South Jersey and certainly experienced the orange bars often recently. I have seen improvements, but I am not sure what to attribute that to.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Ok, seems you are hitting a memory leak in the StatusBar which is currently under investigation. This memory shortage would cause random processes to be terminated resulting in the strange behavior you observe.

This is still WIP it seems...

Michael

142?

CM currently has 110 and I thought that even this is way too many.

I'll try to diff the Stock and CM APNs, but don't know when I find the time to face this XML horror ;)

Ok, thanks for the report :)

I have orange bars several times per day on Verizon in Savannah, Ga and they do not resolve unless I toggle airplane mode. To me, it seems that this is more than a Google issue as the phone would be completely unusable to a nontechnical user.

I know this is the thing everyone's looking for, but since my last build is finally getting too corrupted to use as a daily driver: does anyone have a good, solid working Nightly I should do a clean flash of? Or even a good Nightly/JBX combo? I'm looking to limit the "Black Screen on a Phone Call" issue as much as possible, IF possible.

Thanks very much -- I watch this thread constantly, but it's been a while since Ive seen anyone post about a good, solid working combo.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
What do you mean, "combo"? I get that black screen on phone call all the time and I hate it. The last couple of builds seems to have cleared it up. I did a test, with a timer and everything, called my own phone, buttons it, screen lit right away, waited for screen to go black on speaker, touched power, screen came right up, nothing to report. Stargo knows about this and has been working on it. Stargo made me a special build to test, but by then, the issue was gone.

Take the most recent nightly or the one before that and update. If your base install is too corrupt, bite the bullet and go clean. Delete the slot, recreate it, install cm11 and pa-gapps, finish the setup on boot, and you will be fine. Back this new install up with Safe Strap!

I didn't have to do all that, by base install was not corrupt but for the black screen and updating put it to bed. What else do you want/need to know? :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
I just drove from phoenix Arizona all the way to San Francisco California and haven't had any orange bars all day. But i think I did literally feel my mustache growing throughout that 12 hour nonstop drive tho

Hello, i recently bought a razr maxx because i bought a netgear ptv3000 (widi/miracast reciever) for my tablet and also want to mirror my phones display to the tv. I installed cm11 20140406 snapshot m5 and it works fine, but my phone can't find the ptv3000. Any tips?

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wernst:
Well, starting from about 3pm yesterday, CM11 wouldn't get a 3G or 4G data signal. At all. I cycled airplane mode. I cycled LTE mode. I rebooted. I cleared Dalvik and Cache. I haven't done a nightly update in a week and this rather suddenly happened. Wifi still works fine.

As of this morning, still no data. I rebooted into JB, and it instantly locked on to 4G and all is well.

I'm travelling for a week on Saturday, so I'll be sticking with JB. I'll probably start fresh with a total wipe and a new nightly when I return.

Just a data point.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks for the heads up. I really wish you would have given the build date you installed, it is like "the only way" we have of identifying good and not so good builds. But it is a good reminder that at any time, things can and do "Go South". :(

I am running 05/01 and am having excellent results with it. Stock kernel, just cm11 and pa-gapps. Have updated this install many times OTA. A week ago I was plagued with black screen phone calls which really sucks if you use the speaker or headset, no way to wake up the screen. Buttons light but that is it when pressing power. Occasional orange bars. Stargo made me a special test build to try and the results were very good. No issues at all. Now I have OTA updated again to 05/01 and still have no issues. I will give it another day or two and if still this good, make a Safe Strap backup of it.

One thing noteworthy is that I am using Battery Doctor. A week or 10 days ago, as the builds got better and better, battery usage for me really peaked and it was recommended to try it. I found it to be really helpful and it did prolong the life of the battery and gave good stats on it. Whether or not I still "need it" or not, I don't know. It does no harm and I do get good battery life and charge cycles with it.

With the issues you are experiencing, your idea of a total wipe (Delete slot and recreate it.) is a good one. Once a build gets corrupted, you cannot update over it anymore. It is like trying to prop up a house in the swamp, it is only going to sink no matter what you do. I wish I could give you better news but the current builds are very good now, the chatter in this forum has died way down. THAT only happens when things are really good and not many have things to complain about. I have an XT912 and live in a saturated Verizon signal area and really do not have problems, knock on wood. That should at least give you hope that a clean install and Safe Strap backup will give you something to build on. Best wishes. :good:

P.S. Thanks to [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] for such diligent and hard work to correct the many issues that pop up and even take the time to help individuals. Thank you man. :victory:

Hey guys, I'm on 5/2 using JBX 5/1 and I cannot access Mobile Networks (under settings) to switch from Global to the one it's supposed to be on (can't recall it at the moment). I'm pretty sure I'm on the wrong network since MMS won't send -- however I don't even have that option under my settings (though it's been there on every other build I've tried).

Anybody else having this issue? Any idea what said issue might be? Thanks much for any help.

BMM and Core Gapps

To install the cm11 with bmm avoiding the status 6 error you have to simply replace in the .zip the updater-script at this path:

.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

with the updater-script here attached and then you can install the modded .zip with bmm.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks. I really appreciate tips like this as I cannot afford to have an out of service phone with me all day. Tips like which builds are good and which are problematic are real lifesavers for me. Thanks Chinkster. :good:

Battery life has been amazing the last few builds!

I just went for 1 day 15 hours and still have 8% left. That was on 4/28.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
To people using speech-synthesis via blueooth:

I have finally found the issue with distorted output while trying to implement an open-source audio-HAL for our devices (which will take a long time if I get it done at all).

The closed-source Motorola audio-blob is returning wrong values (too small) when sending speech to bluetooth-devices, causing (already played) audio-samples to be sent again until an error occurs.

I have now wrapped the binary blob and modify the return value if this happens: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/63328/

Please grab the wrapper for your device from: http://droid.cs.fau.de/cm-11.0/test/audio/

Copy it to /system/lib/hw/ (permissions 644, -rw-r--r--, root:root) and reboot the device. After that it should work.

If anything goes wrong just delete the file again or reflash your current ROM.

Please reply if it works for you, so I know it's safe to push the publish-button to get that into the CM builds.

Regards,

Michael

:highfive::good: xt912,CM11 05/02, JBX 05/01 The "wrapper" clears voice distortion from "AI" voice, however, DOES NOT dial correct numbers, dosen't seem to "find" contacts when you say "call contact name"!! Very awesome just to hear "her" speak!! Tested on Moto S9HD headset, S!!HD headset, T505 mobile hands free!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] soundgirl101:
:highfive::good::cool: Flashed CM11 05/04, JBX 05/01, added "wrapper" for "spyder", voila, all workin' well!! No voice distortion, dials correct numbers, call "contact name" calls "right" contact!! This is so AWESOME!! After "call" completed, music resumes, but has a "flutter" effect on headset!! Any thoughts on "CFL" icon for torch?? A def improvement IMHO!! :highfive: :good: :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
I qoute myself here because i can't believe that nobody tried to use miracast with the razr. Everything i could find in this thread was a post from ChungHung.Chen which was never answered (or i couldn't find the answer?) and another one where krestian tells that the razr can do miracast. Do i have to use another android version or an extra app? CM11 is my favourite, but it can't find the PTV3000(Firmware Version 2.4.38).

Thanks for any suggestion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Because of your excellent reporting, I followed your example to help Micheal verify his bug fix for publishing. Great build, great results, no noticeable flutter when resuming music. I have a good speech headset, but not high fidelity such as car audio. How are you getting this flutter, can you be more specific or is it minor?

You know, because you were very detailed with your report, I did mine. I could not have taken the chance on a "dicey build" but your report for 05/04 was very good. So, thanks to SoundGirl, I did mine to help Micheal verify for publishing. You got some nice hardware. Thanks. :good:

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Look, I would love to help you but I do not even know what Miracast is. Can you provide a link? Is this a pay TV service? I do use Netflix and that does work good and also Comcast TV app, works quite well. But I think you are not getting answers because maybe nobody knows what Miracast is or uses it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] soundgirl101:
:laugh: :highfive: :good: I use PowerAmp (Pro) as default player!! It feels like an audio buffer issue, as flutter appeared after completed call and music resumed!! I let the track play through and next track played fine, as if only "paused" track seemed affected?? Interestin' tho, Voice Dialer "AI" voice workin' here, tho haven't tried Google Now :crying: Do we not have the most awesome dev's?? :laugh: :cool: :good:

M6 Spyder just went up - not sure I am going to try it out.. Pretty satisfied with the latest nightlies... Curious how others view it however...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] control187:
I know we have had a lot of orange bar talk here recently so I tried something out today. I wiped my CM slot and went back to stock rooted. All day long I was in good LTE coverage and a large part of the day was spent with WiFi. Despite the bars showing blue (supposedly a server connection) I would go almost an hour before getting some Gmail emails. Not sure if anyone else is getting the same.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
Miracast replaces HDMI. With miracast You can mirror your display to any miracast reciever. It's something like widi (wireless display form intel).

The option is under settings - display & lights - cast screen. But it always says "no nearby devices were found." Even if my tablet (asus vivotab note 8) can find my ptv3000 and works fine.

I think it is hardware related, it seems to be our device does not support it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
Thanks. I was able to detect the ptv3000 with my razr by editing the buildprop:

persist.debug.wfd.enable=1

But it fails to connect. :( If anyone has an advice whether its pissible to enable miracast it would be great.

Maybe i just have to buy an HDMI cable...

Thanks to the developers. Downloading m6 ;)

Stock CM11 05/02 version

Thanks for your great work, it works fine in XT910 (umts_spyder).

I've only tested with my voice command app and I didn't use BT for music so not testing them.

Hope this fix can be merged soon.

And thanks for this fix again!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I think it is an additional feature instead of a replacement for HDMI. I still use HDMI output on my XT912 via an HDMI cable to connect my phone to my TV. It works OK, although picture quality seems to suffer and I haven't found a way to turn of the display on my device and just have the TV screen on (it is possible to do this with the stock ROM).

I never tried MiraCast because I don't have a TV that supports MiraCast. Don't you need a ChromeCast dongle on your TV or something similar to make it work?

My new laptop is supposed to support widi. I will see if I can get that to work.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] L3ibnitZ:
I probably worded poorly. You can use HDMI and MiraCast side by side, but you won't need HDMI if you have MiraCast :)

ChromeCast is not MiraCast, ChromeCast streams the content directly from the web or an NAS. You just control your ChromeCast dongle with your Tablet/Smartphone but can't mirror your Display. With MiraCast you can do exactly the same as with HDMI, the only diffrence is that it's wireless. The PTV3000 i mentioned is a MiraCast/WiDi receiver (which i need because my TV also doesn't support MiraCast) and works perfect with my Asus Vivotab Note 8.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Thanks for the clarification. Sounds promising I will have to check into this further.

Have you tried contacting NetGear? I saw a review of the pvt3000 on NewEgg that says it only supports a very limited number of devices and if your device isn't among those then NetGear doesn't guarantee it to work and will not provide support.

No, i didn't contact netgear. I don't even know if the razr supports miracast, thats why i asked here first. I'm amazed, that hardly anyone tried this feature to get rid oft his HDMI cable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I'm thinking that maybe CM does not support MiraCast. Here's a link describing the CM Cast Screen option (under display settings): http://www.muktware.com/2014/02/cyanogenmod-developer-demos-android-mirroring-chromecast/21120. This writeup seems to suggest that Cast Screen is designed to work with ChromeCast.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Great, that it's working for you guys. :)

I just need to do a bit more testing before I'm confident enough to subject everyone to it. I did a few internal cleanups and fixes and want to make sure that I didn't break it...

I can't reproduce the flutter from [MENTION=4882455]soundgirl101[/MENTION] here.

Hehe. The command to build an android ROM is actually called "lunch" :)

I only ever manually built the wrapper (the command for that is "mmm") because building the whole image without any changes to the previous build takes a few minutes and just building the wrapper takes less than a second.

I'm using a Sony MW600 for testing. Good for listening to music because you can connect really good headphones, but the built-in microphone is not really great.

You can safely install a new build, but the wrapper will get removed in the process. Just copy it in again.

The current hw-composer used on the phone does not support WFD. This support was added in later versions from TI which need extensive kernel-changes to get running. I actually tried to get a newer version to work but postponed it when it didn't work after trying for a few hours.

Cheers,

Michael
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Glad to help. When I saw you were doing cosmetic and cleanup, I knew you were near done with this. I do know Linux but did not know about "lunch" or "mmm". That is a nice, fast way to do it.

Being an audio tech, I wanted to dig into this matter of "flutter". I doubt it is meant in the actual term as in "wow and flutter", used to diagnose problems with tape and turntable drive systems. Just thought she has some weird echo. Cannot reproduce it. Maybe she has Hi Fi Audio Bluetooth but I think it just may be bogging the phone causing her Power Amp Playback buffer to lag. She reports it "catches up at next track".

Oh, so it will get wiped for now. Roger that.

I got your message, will reply later. Must get ready to install a medical office computer I built in about an hour or so. Talk to you soon!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION],

Here is another report after test your BT fix more time.

CM11 builds are 05/02 and 05/04 with stock kernel.

Wrapper : From stargo's post.

Tested APP : Cyberon Voice Commander

Issue : BT voice output may become silent after voice read-out.

Headset : Moto HX550

Scenario :

Open App by press button on HX550

After voice prompt, say "What time is it" to app and app will read out current time, then exit.

Press button again and you will find voice prompt disappear but voice input still work. Note that wait time for voice prompt is normal as step 1. Just no sound.

If you press button twice to wake up app, voice prompt may work again.

BTW, BT voice output issue is solved now.

Thanks for great work!

[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION]

Well, today I did a fully clean install of M6 hoping the status bar memory leak issue was fixed but still happening, funny thing is, for the past week I have been running latest Liquid Smooth nightly (04/27) and it does have the same problem, but at least in LS the UI crash is fast to come back to a working phone (5 seconds in LS vs 30 seconds in CM), so it seems to be a kernel issue.

On the good news I managed to replicate the bug in CM 90% of the time, here is how:

On a phone loaded with applications (I have 169 according to Titanium) but with only a few running processes (aka not a just-installed rom) run a game that eats memory for breakfast, in my case I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.juiceboxgames.honorbound , play for a few mins (to make sure it loads stuff on memory), then exit game, open the recent apps by holding Home, clear all apps and when the home screen comes back swipe down on the status bar, Boom, UI freeze and restart.

Hope this helps you find the only bug I have left of this rom. Many thanks ?

Flashed 5/4 nightly but started getting APN not specified errors so I had to once again do Jakes APN fix and now all is well
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
...you, you went through that huge list of stuff?? Yeah, 10 things he had listed. I am on the same build and it sucks! Not APN but black screen lock, causing hard power down reboots, twice a day now. These issues have to be related and it just plain bites. I could do the APN things to see if it helps but it seems like a work around for an issue that I do not have. I just cannot wait for another build!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
I think Jakes APN fix really works. If I don't get any more APN problems or any other issues I will prolly just stay with this nightly for a while until something epic comes along
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vanwho:
So far M6 seems pretty good. It is fast, and seemed good on battery the first day. I do Jake's APN fix on any install now and it seems to help the orange bars be almost non existent. I have had what I think Ohmster is talking about with the black screen though. It seems to be on any ROM I have tried lately though. I'll report back if anything changes, but I'd say so far M6 is a good build.

[MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION], I still have the delayed screen wake on incoming calls on any build of any CM11 based ROM.

Edit, as I was typing this post, it froze up and restarted my Locale service that I use for automation. Maybe that is related to the black screen issue and overloading the RAM processes?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
Seeing the same here, tried to stop the process it restarts looking for the downloads (shows 7 files). Did a hard rest aka battery pull also, no change.

I have not had much time in the last couple of weeks to play, jumped from 5/1 to 5/4. Seems a bit sluggish and erratic.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
I did a clean install of the 5-4-14 nightly hoping to get rid of the system UI crash but it continued to happen. When trying to pull down the status bar to access tiles after closing an app like Facebook.

I then used the 'Pimp My ROM' app to lock the system UI, Google play services and my launcher in the memory and have not had a crash since (24 hours now). I'm going to keep playing with it to see if it is just a coincidence or if it is really helping.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Omegadrive:
Didn't worked, at least for me, used the old build.prop tweak to add the system UI to unkillable list and still crashed after playing for 15 minutes and doing the recent/clean/status-bar combo. ?
