I've also had this issue but I'm unsure as to whether it is gone - haven't noticed it lately, but my phone is on vibrate during the day on weekdays so I cannot confirm anything yet. Updating shortly to 8/1. I will see if I still have this issue.

I did have a sleep issue on 7/31 that required me to hold in the power button to reboot. It occurred when I was downloading the 8/1 update. When I checked my phone it wouldn't wake up, rebooted and the download did complete.

BTW: I reverted to Safestrap 3.65 but my MAC address is still this generic one.. perhaps it will just have to be.

Alrighty, I finally got my phone restore and am back on Safe Strap 3.73. For me, this is an old lesson, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Backups, backups, backups is the thing that saved me and allowed me to avoid a terrible mess of reinstalling everything and starting over. Since Safe Strap is recommended to install in your stock rom, that is where I had to remove it and install 3.65. Then I removed the recovery environment and installed the older Safe Strap. In my haste to "fix things", I deleted my system folder in Safe Strap and reflashed cm11 07/30. Bad mistake, I forgot to make slot 1 active so rebooting led me to my stock rom, which now shows me the install wizard. Oh crap, I ruined my stock rom. Again, backups to the rescue and I have a stock backup to restore. Which I did.

I also flashed the proper slot 1 for cm11, deleting the system folder and reflashing cm11 07/30. That is where I lost my pay apps and ID for the phone system. When the flash completed, instead of saying successful, I got a failed message, although it seemed to work. This gave me the messed up cm11 install with all the wrong system ID information. Enough is enough, time to "put it all back".

Back to stock with tons of apps that need updating, uninstalled SS 3.65 and removed recovery environment as well. Installed SS 3.73 again, installed recovery, booted to recovery, restored cm11 07/30, rebooted to cm11 on slot 1, and found all my pay apps fine and in place. Okay, I got my phone back. Reverting to Safe Strap 3.65 didn't fix anything and made things a LOT worse, in part my haste to get this done and forgetting to switch active roms.

Lesson:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

ALWAYS make and keep current backups.

Okay, there is my experience. My IP addresses really did not change, the IPv6 address is still weird, the IPv4 address will change to what my home LAN requires when I activate WiFi. When not on WiFi at home and connected, my IPv4 address is something else, which you can see in the screenshot. 2nd screenshot shows IPv4 address while connected to home wireless LAN as a static IP for that connection. Still no serial number but I do have the proper device ID as my pay apps no longer vanish like SVOX Victoria voice for artificial speech.

Honestly I really do not care about or use IPV6 as IPv4 suites all of my needs and by the time we run out of IPv4 addresses and have to use IPv6, I am sure I will be dead. :p

So for me, this works and I am sticking with it. Once my apps update completely, I will make a new backup of the 08/01 rom that I have updated to so that I can restore it without having to go back to 07/30 again. If there is anything to be learned by all of this, see the 2 item list above.

Time for a late dinner and allow my phone to update all it's apps. As for nightly 08/01, this rom is just as good as the two before it and I really feel that this rom is a bit snappier than the previous late July builds. Who was it, 2¢ that said it is faster? He is right, this 08/01 build is very good and better than the late July builds. Night guys. :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I haven't had issues with sound cutting out other than a high CPU load, that causes the music to stutter or, a bad headphone jack. These jacks break, the more you use them, the faster they wear out. To use the phone in the car, I have to put the stereo on Aux and plug in a cord to the headphone jack. It sounds like static, cuts out, and is difficult sometimes to get a good connection to the jack. I have done electronics all my life and bad jacks are quite common. The phone is several years old.

You are a very experienced member, coreywallen, so I trust you would know the difference. I am "putting my phone back together" after reverting Safe Strap and restoring backups. Installing 08/01 now, so I will report if there are any issues with it, including audio. :)

Update:

I find no audio issues with 08/01, Google Play Music works fine, no interruptions from the speaker. If you are having issues with docks or headphones, please tell us so that we can check it for you. For me, all audio is good. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, 08/01 is a good rom and seems faster than the two late July builds that, as good as they were, were kind of slow. Thanks for posting your results, this really helps us that cannot afford to experiment with new roms that could be flaky. I am also happy that you have something that you apparently can use, what with all the APN issues you have had to put up with, 2¢. Nice reporting! :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
Hmm, that is disappointing that what is repeatable for me is not for you (and that it didn't fix your MAC..) I have a story somewhat like the one [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] just left in what I went through on this (my) Safestrap version issue. I'll have to post it later.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
On 08/01, good, but black screen this morning on an incoming call. Didn't answer the call (but this was because I was still half-asleep), but received another call straight after the first and the screen was still black.

Oh great, now the phone won't wake up when I press the power button (phone currently on charge). :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Appreciate the props on being an experienced member haha...I remember flashing the unofficial alpha builds of cm11 and having audio issues the same as this. Typically it was an issue that could be fixed with a full wipe, something I just did tonight, hate that, took about an hour to get everything set up the same. We've all been there.

So far on 08/01 after a full wipe and flash I haven't had the audio issue again. Doesn't seem to be a hardware issue from how I've interpreted it. Will report back if it pops up again as I know at least one member was having the same problem. Night all!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
I'm sorry I put you guys through this. Bizarrely, I can no longer reproduce this problem and even more bizarrely I now have the correct Motorola MAC in my ROM slot CM11 install no matter which version of Safestrap is in use. I can't let myself think about this to much more or my head is going to explode..

(I still have an issue with Safestrap 3.75 and the Verizon ROM wifi hotspot refusing to start so I'm staying with 3.65 for that reason but that is an off topic issue for this thread!)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
So after testing with and without Xposed, I see about the same amount of orange icon connection issues, so that doesn't seem to be a cause. Wondering if it is external given we both seemed to have those same two days of no issues and then they came back on the same day. ..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
I did some more testing. I did a fresh install of the 08/02 nightly to a ROM slot and the stock slot using Safestrap 3.65 and then 3.73. In all four cases, I got the generic MAC address for the WiFi. But, restoring a CM backup resulted in restoration of my actual MAC address again. So, that info is stored in a file that is in the Safestrap backup.

The MAC address for the WiFi card is held in the file /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin and there is a utility already on your phone to change the MAC.

Using the CM file manager, copy /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin to /sdcard (or where ever you like that is user writeable.) Make a backup copy. (This is needed because Terminal can't write to /system.)

In Terminal enter su to become root and then run the calibrator utility. If you wanted to set the MAC address to the generic one, the command would look like this:

calibrator set nvs_mac /sdcard/wl1271-nvs.bin 00:da:36:16:de:eb

Copy the modified wl1271-nvs.bin file back to /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin

Reboot

Edit: There is more info about this issue further down in this thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Had a similar issue a year or so ago while I was still paying for the extended warranty and got my phone replaced. Starting to see it happening occasionally again (through I now use a Bluetooth gateway instead of auxiliary cable most the time)u.

Two suggestions:

* I remember someone a little while back reporting success with compressed air to clean out the jack

* Go my route of a Bluetooth gateway. I just saw good reviews on the Motorola Stream
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Checking Xposed Modules is a last resort if you are having serious system issues. It is not likely that a module will work fine for several months or more, then suddenly cause problems. Installing new modules and then having problems afterwards would be more of what I would expect.

The orange icons may not be an issue with the rom at all. It can simply mean that the Google servers are overloaded. Google has a lot of money and is always updating their servers and equipment. Instead of trying to find the right rom to make this work, I would suggest patience with a rom that is known for good performance and allow Google to get their house in order. :D

Yes, very good tips. Avoid spraying contact cleaner or any other substance in the jack itself. This was common practice decades ago to clean switches and jacks, but the buildup of lubricant in the switch or jack would collect more dust and dirt than the dry jack itself and thus will increase the frequency of having jack and switch failure. I learned this the hard way by having to completely disassemble my SAE Parametric Equalizer and Preamp. Very nice equipment and every knob and switch had meaningful settings in octaves, dBM scales, precise frequency values, but the drawback was the slide potentiometers. No matter how hard you tried to keep them clean, they would attract dirt and dust and the noise that it would create on a high power amplifier would be deafening, not to mention would blow out all the tweeters. As much as I loved that piece of equipment, taking it apart was a total nightmare! Just getting to the switches and slide pots would take ½ a day! Cleaning them with silicone spray lubricant and cleaner would fix it up, for a short time and then it would start all over again. The very last time I did this, I actually cleaned out each and every pot with a strong grease cutting solvent, maybe it was acetone, to really clean out all the gunk. But the dry controls worked for a short time and I completely lost faith in it. I so thank God for the day of digital switches.

Unfortunately, preamps like the SAE are no longer in favor and I sold the mega Marantz power amp and my beloved JBL Control Monitors. Stereo will never be the same.

Moral: Don't spray anything but air into the headphone jacks. Taking the XT912 apart is so terrible, that I actually gave up and put it back together with a cracked digitizer, even when I had the replacement part in hand. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Ohmster, when you use this do you still use Adaway? Or is this a replacement?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I'm really having issues with waking the phone up on 08/01. I don't hear anyone else mentioning this, so I guess I have to do a fresh install.. :(

Casper, you have an XT910 on foreign soil. Most of us can only give you basic help. You need another 910 user on foreign soil to really help you with this. Welder is a friend of mine and has been absent for quite some time, he is back now and has a 910. Mr. Chen also has a 910 and I believe he is not in The States. We must get someone like that to tell what rom they are using and how it is working for them. Don't be so quick to get frustrated and give up, my friend.

[MENTION=5057697]welder73[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3313632]ChungHung.Chen[/MENTION] what rom build are you using and you do both have XT910 phones, yes? Live outside the United States? Can you please give Casper some insight as to what roms you are using, build dates, and how your phone is behaving. Any black screen issues? Casper is now plagued by it and he is now on 08/01. Most of us here love 08/01 but for 910 users, it may be different. Can you guys please give us the inside dope on what builds are good for the XT910 off American soil? Thank you very much.

Stop being pissy, Casper. I have sent a PM to welder73 and asked Mr. Chen to be my friend so I can ask him too. Mr. Chen will bend over backwards to help anyone and his 910 is in Taiwan. Give us a day or two to work on this for you. Else revert to a solid backup in Safe Strap, you DO have backups, yes? As much as I have been schooling the group to always have a fresh backup handy, if you ignored this advice, then what can I tell you. The word is out, and the Calvary should be on the way.

I sent personal messages to both of them. Now we wait.

Now Casper, we wait and see if we catch a fish.:fingers-crossed:

Yes, I use AdAway and it works quite nicely, always finds the latest host file and installs it perfectly. Of course it is not on the Google network, find it with another search engine like yahoo or dogpile. If you need the apk or help, PM me or post for help. AdAway apk attached. Take care my friend. :cowboy:

OMG it is so late. I have been playing Americas Army online and the game is addicting. If you have a good headset with mic, you can talk to other players and form a strategy. But like in real life, you get shot, you are dead and only have a small window for a medic to patch you up. Most of the time the firefight is on and no one can take the chance to save you. Man, time for bed. Night all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CoreyWillWhat:
Full wipe and install of 08/01 seems to have fixed my audio issues. This thing is flying now!

-New issues are receiving group messages in hangouts are all coming in separately. I've made sure the group messaging is checked in the hangouts settings.

-media scanner won't stop running (I've temporarily fixed this by disabling auto scan on boot) I've used an app to find some corrupted media files and removed them but the problem persists. As a result of the media scanner getting hung up I only have two ringtones and two notifications. I've run the "fsck_msdos /dev/block/mmcblk1p25" command and everything is coming up clean.

Ant ideas guys and gals?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Thanks Ohmster - love your commitment!! Nice to know others are even going the extra mile for someone else.

Though,

I wouldn't be too ignorant of XT910 users. I have shared many issues with XT912 users. Just recently 7/27 was causing me to click the power button more than once to wake the device, a problem experienced too by a 912 user. I know the phone's are different but they basically have the same hardware. It's like we have the same motherboards and everything except we have different graphic cards.

Our main differences are network issues, I'm not plagued by them, my issues are essentially all "hardware" if I can put it that way.

I have always done backups, but the last I have is 07/01, as I wasn't happy with any of the builds thereafter that it made no sense to backup.

I may just be due for a clean install. I'm still riding CM since my last fresh install mid-June.

Thanks.

Yea, clean install sorts mostly some bugs out, have done that yesterday and rings faster then before.

Have gone dirty 4 weeks on LS, tested PA then and went back now....

But be sure that wake up big isn't a bug on that nightly

But u know yourself that goin clean helps a lot

Well,I can't help much because I didn't use CM for a long time...

But I can tell you that LS is a very good rom,I'm currently using build of 06.july and I never had that black screen issue in any LS build,never!

Actually,it is a rom without any force closes,lags etc...

I tried Mokee a few days ago,it is also a good rom,fast,smooth and with nice choice of governors and schedulers.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
Another solution to this issue:

From your stock ROM, put a copy of /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin on your sdcard.

Boot into CM11 and copy the wl1271-nvs.bin from the factory ROM to /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin. Reboot.

Edit: This is actually a temporary fix until your next flash as discussed further down in this thread:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I see you are dedicated to sort out this issue! Thank you very much. Sounds simple enough, just a pity I no longer have a "Motorola-intended" stock rom anymore..

I actually am looking to go fresh with M9 myself. I never do snapshots since M6 really screwed me over the last time. But since I'm going fresh, It's not too much of an issue.

Lets see how it goes..but I may just quickly take a look at my last backup..long story ahead..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
Just looked at this again to see if I could figure out the problem. Now the instructions I posted before work just fine. I must have been making a persistant typo earlier. :o

Disregard the bit about changing permissions, that isn't allowed but it doesn't seem to make any difference to have the extras there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
Would you (and anyone else who is interested) look and see if the following file exists on your phone?

/pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin

On mine it doesn't exist. It must have been deleted by something, somewhere along the line.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, I have one. Dated 10/20/2011. It is a binary file so you cannot read it or anything. I will post it if you want to mess with it. Comes from an XT912 Verizon US.

Permissions:

Owner: system rw-rw.r--
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I have this file in my 08/01 cm11 system. It is pretty new too, 08/02/2014. I OTA all the time and I have the new file. Maybe it is not something you get on a fresh install but something you get on every update and install. Strange how I can have a file that is a day newer than the build itself. Go figure.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
Sorry for late, my son is using my notebook for his homework. :p

I'm using 140802 + PA-Gapps Micro now, dirty flashed from 140731 by Cyandelta.

I've encountered blank screen once in June nightly, but never in July.

Using slide lockscreen without any custom widget, just set my own shortcuts.

Do you have any custom widget in lockscreen?

ARTMOD by autur0588 can be a good choice if you are looking for a stock rom, which modified from stock 4.1.2 AU.

You can flash it by SafeStrap to stock rom for backup and CM11 in slot 1 for testing.

I've defined 3 level of ROM flash method for my own test process.

If problem exist in one level and can't be identified, use next level to debug.

Level 1 : Flashed over exist rom. ( Dirty flash? )

Level 2 : Wipe /system then flash, factory reset ( Clean flash? )

Level 3 : Start over by SBF flash, restore to fully stock.

If you want to do a level 3 flash you can start by flash stock 4.1.2 EU SBF.

I've done it once when I decided to start using CM11.

1. Flash stock 4.1.2 EU SBF by RSD-Lite, EU SBF can be found Here

Note : This step will erase your internal SD (8GB) unless you know how to modify configuration XML for flash, so remember to backup first!!

2. ROOT by root master

3. Install SafeStrap

4. Create slot 1 or wipe stock slot to install CM11 nightly.

Wish these information can help to solve you problem.

And any discussions are welcome.:):)

And I noticed you had a valid Motorola MAC address in a screenshot that you posted recently. :)

Edit: What was written here was not correct and the correct info is further down in this thread.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

This would be like using Matt's utility to restore to stock, correct?

But would that write files to anywhere other than /system and /data? The /pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin would have to be unique for each phone in order to maintain the mandatory uniqueness of the MAC address, I think.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChungHung.Chen:
/pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin is a critical file which stored you actual WiFi MAC address for you device.

If missing android will generate a "generic" one to keep WiFi work.

But generic MAC address will cause problems because two same MAC address can't exist in same network.

CM11 has "wifical.sh" to reset your MAC address by reading /pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin.

Open terminal app from android then do follow steps.

1. su

2. wifical.sh

If success you can check if you WiFi MAC address is back to normal.

Sometimes /pds/* may be deleted by rom installation and I don't know why.

But you can download file from Ohmster's post and modify to you MAC address by This post from TI wiki.

PSPad Editor can be used as HEX editor.

I have set static IP address by MAC address in my WiFi AP so I can retrieve my original MAC address.

If you can find your original MAC addesss and a working nvs_map.bin, remember to make a backup ! :good::good:

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Yes, but Matt's utility is for XT912 only and mime is XT910. :crying::crying:

This will wipe EVERY internal partition by default, include internal SD space (8GB).

But it will not touch /pds and I can confirm that from my last SBF flash process.

About missing /pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin, it's been reported for a long time.

My /pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin is missing too, fortunately I've set my MAC address for static IP in my WiFi AP, so I can modify a nvs_map.bin to restore my MAC address.

Now I have two backups in my external SD and Google Drive. :p:p

You can see my previous post to find a link for how to edit nvs_map.bin.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
Excellent!

I took the file [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] posted, then used the hex editor you linked to and created an nvs_map.bin file with the correct MAC that I'd recorded and put a copy in /pds/wifi.

Edit: The above will only work long term if done from the stock ROM. More info on this further down in this thread.

Flashed CM11 M9 and it installed the correct MAC address! :good:

Thank you so much for your help!!
