Thoughts? I use a good Bluetooth headset that I bought at Verizon when I had a store credit to spend, it cost $30 and NEVER fails me. Before that I had a cheap one from an auto parts store and it gave me nothing but trouble, broke forever after 2 weeks.

Bluetooth works GREAT on CM11, tried it with headset and car sync. No issues at all. :good:

You are very welcome. We are never too old to not learn something here. This place has BRAINS, man. But, I found this is a HARD place for a newbie to just "pop in and ask a question". I tried that stuff and got NOWHERE, FAST. Nobody would ever answer, it was like I didn't even exist. So, I tried a different tact. I picked a thread that I could relate to, had to do with my device, read, read, and READ. Then, tentatively ask someone a question about something THEY posted about. This I found would almost always generate an answer. After a while, I could finally ask my own questions, as long as it applied to the thread I was reading. I hit pay dirt and finally found a home here. But it was not quick or easy for me. Junior Member got me nowhere, Member was a little better, and before I knew it, Senior Member. I can ask questions and people finally take me seriously. But like in any other community, there will always be riffs. If I am wrong, I apologize, eat crow, whatever. It is not so bad and the other members appreciate it, only when it is warranted. I tend to be garrulous and loquacious and this has given me issues here. People do not want to read books just to answer a question. Shortening it up is hard for me, but I am really trying. I learned to give Thanks and finally started getting some of my own for helping out when I already had "been there, done that" to take the load off other senior members so they could answer the hard stuff I had yet to learn. I learn here every day, and can be comfortably humble. :D

You are a Senior Member and have apparently learned the ropes quite well. You are really doing great and it will be a pleasure to help in any way I can. Best wishes and good luck! :good:

Thanks I too was having this problem and that fixed it. Something in wifi must adjust the apn settings hopefully the CM people are reading this and can come up with a permanent fix.

P.S. is anyone on 4-9-14 is it working well? Update just flashed it and it works well. Also got an update for myverizon app and now it requests root permissions. I blocked that. Also it wants to alert you when you are near a verizon store. I knew that verizon was big brother but now they are going too far.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
4-9 working great for me. Loving the OMAP4 updates that are specifically for our device. Nice to see development still active :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh wow man, thank you very much for the heads up on My Verizon. Since using a pre-rooted rom like CM, I never used the Verizon app because I just check and pay online with my PC. I am happy with CM roms because they do not contain the bloat of Verizon such as VZ Navigate that is essentially Google Maps but you have to pay $3-4 each time you use it. I wanted all that stuff gone, and it is. I thought it might be nice to have the app on my phone but didn't like motocast because it consumed my PC and Phone and was more than I wanted. The app I thought might be good, check the bill, call for tech help or something, but not anymore. After your heads up, I ain't touching it. Thank you very much! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mr-Glass:
I find myself using Privacy Guard (built into CM) to control all those apps that I have to have, but hate their permissions.. I am surprised at how much I use something that I originally just thought meh..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Awesome tip, thank you Mr. Glass! I forgot all about Privacy Guard, there are so many settings. The Verizon thing spooked me and your reply is very, very welcome. Thanks! :good:

Anybody who's running 4-9 -- what's your sense of the battery consumption? Pretty good? Best so far? Abysmal? Just looking to get some firsthand feedback.

JakeDHS07...are you able to send pictures via mms? I installed the M-5 on my daughters with clean install and found that she can't send pictures. She is being patient, but I am trying to get it to work. I tried 8sms and Go SMS pro, but no luck getting it to work. Appears that the mms settings are good based on what I read here..http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/80330-mms-messages-cant-send-or-recieve/ post #16

I am learning stuff, but ready to have some success on this project. Any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
The M5 snapshot is not a particularly stellar rom. I am on 03/30 and the "update" to M5 was more like a revert than an update. I took it off before 24 hours. The nightly builds are always newer and more up to date. I have good success with 03/30, a good friend reported that he installed 04/07 and it was very good, he is now testing 04/09. The mms pictures do work, I use Go SMS Pro (Free) and never had an issue with them. I did not test photo sms on M5, it was so lackluster and outdated that I pitched it. Try a newer nightly, first OTA from the settings menu and see if you get it back. If necessary, you could reinstall fresh, but try something easy like OTA before going all out. HTH
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
crap, i flashed 4/07 and also tried 4/09 and now i have that dreaded NO APN specified on device issue again. any of you guys know how to fix that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
So...I screwed the pooch today. I went to update to 4/9 and somehow messed up the file or something during transfer. So it would not install. I run on stock slot and I had already wiped the system and so forth to install it. I tried to mount the drives so I could put a clean copy on the internal memory. No luck with that. Has anyone tried that?

So, I pulled the sd card from my phone and put a fresh copy on that. I shut down my phone to do this. But now I couldnt get back into recovery. I assume that was because I didnt have a system installed. Damn. So, I thought, "I'm good, I backed everything up just a couple of days ago." So flash the phone and reinstall everything. My dumb ass used RSD to flash - forgetting that it wipes internal memory when you do that. I lost photos, all my backups, and videos of my kids. Crap!

In the process of getting my phone back, but I couldn't recover anything from the internal memory. Anyone have any bright ideas?

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

This is actually the reason I tried to update. I was getting the APN error too on 4/07.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
There is a post about that here. It is one of mine but shows the original post. Toggle WiFi on and off if you lose signal or data. Make sure your Settings/more/Mobile Networks/Preferred Network Type is set to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo" if not getting signal. Here is another recent post that might help.

I have not had this issue but this is what I remember about it. HTH. :good:

Rub it in whydoncha? Too tired to do it now but Emil was updating his yesterday. So how did it go? You OTA or clean? I like OTA so if I can do it, I would rather. Anything you see not working? Thanks!

Try wiping:

Dalvik

Cache

Android Secure,

That corrected it for me
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
M5 is horrible for me

MMS issues, Orange Bars, LTE loss and switching to 3G in perfect LTE areas
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Any chance you turned on auto upload of photos in your Google account when you setup your phone (or in Dropbox, or OneDrive)? If you did then your photos (and videos, I think) should be backed up in the cloud.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, WOW! That's a good answer, Dwillian! Mine does that and I forgot to tell these guys. Good thinking. :highfive:

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Chinkster,

Did that work? I knew about cache and dalvik, not sure about android secure. If so, let us know so that info will be here on the board. Oh I hope it worked for you man. This is something I would like to know, thanks!

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

You are right. M5 stinks. I didn't even keep it a day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Well went dirty to 4/9 and orange bars galore, not to mention a lot of time on 3G vs. LTE .... but don't worry my Group Messaging in Hangouts came back ha!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh that is awful! When I get a good rom to work and like it, I make a Safe Strap backup and keep it. Then if ever I do something like go to M5 OTA, don't like it, go to 04/09 OTA and have problems like you mention, I will restore my backup. It puts me back to 03/30 right now, but that is solid and everything works. So from there, I could then flash 04/09 onto a working, good system and should have everything working after the update. So long as the new rom is good. If not, I restore from backup to keep a good, working phone.

So if you are on 04/09 now and it is bad, what are you going to do? Live with it, restore a good backup, or go clean? Just curious, I told how I learned to have a good phone all the time and hope it inspires some to do the same. Other guys are constant testers and enjoy installing new stuff, testing it out, and if it does not work good, wipe and install something else, clean. I don't have the time for it, so was wondering what others do. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aximander:
I'm trying 4-9 now... So far, so good.

Btw I dont use PA-gapps, I used an aroma one that I found somewhere I like more control of what apps I flash with it.

I swapped back to Messaging from hangouts since I wasn't getting mms (group messages anyway)

I don't even have a backup and often, but not always, keep up with the latest rom. Doesn't take me all that long to get back up and running. Usually don't notice certain apps are missing until I need them :) A quick download fixes that

What happen with the OTA updates? Mine shows M5 /4-06/ & 4-07, when I tried to check for updates multiple times I get:

"The update check failed.Please check your internet connection and try again later"

But internet connection is fine, same results on wifi.

OTA updated to M5 when OTA update error occurred.

I recovered a backup with CM11 4-06 when it did update & still get the same above error.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Looks like the CM web site is down.

Try opening www.cyanogenmod.com and you will get a web site offline page and the option to open cached pages. Guess we will just need to wait until it is back up.

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

I did a clean install of 4/7 and it seemed great. I was having phenomenal battery life compared to earlier builds.

I then did an OTA update to 4/9 (I was lured by all the OMAP specific fixes), but it doesn't seem as quick as 4/7 and battery life is a little worse. Once the CM site is back online I may go back to 4/7 or try the next nightly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chinkster:
worked for me so far. haven't got the popup since but its only been a few hours. will update if it does pop up tho
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
This is the valuable information that I always look for here in this thread. Thank you Dwillian. I knew 04/07 was reported good, 04/09 is "seems okay" but that is not good enough. I do not mean to people did a bad job of reporting, just that their reports were incomplete when they say "okay so far". That just means for the short time they are running it. Good to know but a final conformation is always what we look for. You have confirmed what I need to know for updating. 04/07 it is. Great report, keep it up when you can! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hah hah, this is funny! I get a bit "too sensitive" at times when a lot of people jump on me about being "too talkative" and they were not malicious, it was all in good fun. I do appreciate your reply though, it made me feel a little more comfortable. Hey I got some news on your funky Bluetooth irritation from Stargo, look for the post jn Jakes Thread.

Cheers mate! :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
Actually I'm going to regress back to 4/7 also from 4/9. My install was dirty and that may be why I'm having Random FC's, high battery consumption and it just feels sluggish. When I get a chance I'll post more info It's been a busy day
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
Thanks Mr. Glass. I tried a software called Recuva. It took a while to scan also and came up with some stupid stuff like album covers... :mad:

I've not really put anything back on the phone yet, so maybe I will try RescuePro. At this point I have sort of washed my hands of it and learned a lesson. That lesson is, don't keep backups of your stuff on the internal memory!! If I would have just moved my backup to my computer or my sdcard I would be fine fine. My titanium backups are gone, which I just made a couple of days ago. Doh!

The one thing that I really miss are my photos of my classroom whiteboard notes. I teach at the university level and I take photos of my whiteboard notes at the end of each class to keep track of my lectures. Luckily, I pulled most of those off my phone less than a month ago, but I am missing several weeks worth.

The other thing that I really miss is my app that stores all my other app passwords. :p I can't log into a couple now... Good times. This is what makes romming fun though - living on the edge!

My Google account actually backed up all my apps and put them back on my phone, but it was just the app, not the data. :(

Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

So, since I messed up my phone yesterday, I was able to get back to CM 4/09. I've had a few issues:

1. MMS wont send. I dont get a APN error like we sometimes get, rather it just gives me a network error.

2. LTE takes a while to lock. It will say 3G for a while and then finally find 3G.

3. I can't check for CM updates in the about phone area. When I do it says that the check for update failed. It also tells me to check my internet connection. I know I have internet because I can do other things that require the internet.

Anyone else?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Ohhh, that is awful. I have a paid password utility, RoboForm. Bought like, maybe 8-10 years ago. Cost $30 for the PC. I tried to crack it, put it on other computers, but no dice. It does sync to cloud so you can restore data. I paid for another one and put it on my cellphone. They have two kinds, Roboform Desktop and Roboform Anywhere. Single computer and several computers. Naturally, the single version was cheaper. But it syncs my data for all sites, is very secure, and anytime I wipe out the phone, I reinstall the app, sycn data, and it all comes back. That one was really worth the one time shot money. I just do not let the app update anymore, since it updates on cm11, the new version does not work. They update fairly frequently so maybe a newer version will work again, but what I have works great.

Man I always backup to Ext. I have a 16 Gb card, am always running out of space, so Amazon had a nice 64 Gb.SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC is on sale for $40 now with free shipping. And good old Mr. Glass gave me some neat ideas on how to clone my current card over to the new, big one. Ahhh, all my pictures, videos, SS backups (Man, I got like 5 Gb just in those!), all on an external SD Card. I *always* backup Titanium Pro to Ext Card. And run the dropbox sync in it every time I have something new to backup worth keeping. Then I got a copy of all my backups on the free Dropbox cloud drive that integrates itself into Titanium Backup. I think you have to run the Gdrive, Box, or Dropbox backups manually but no big deal. I tap them when I put the charger on for bed although it does not take *that* long.

BTW, I am about as poor as a guy can get. But I will make that $40 64 Gb happen, somehow. Got it on the store credit card, time to pay in payments, and can't wait to get it in there man! Just telling you guys what I do. Ideas are good, nice to share. Mr. Glass has so far bat two out of the park for me this week! I hope that someone wants some of these ideas, they are nice and big enough to share with everyone, after all, I copy all of theirs and got two "goodies" from Mr. Glass all in one week!. ;)

Thanks for the ideas Mr. Glass and helping out 2¢. I had no idea he was a teacher. We should help hook him up. Night guys.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marlowe310:
On 4/9 build and I'm getting an odd "Low Memory Set" toast notification that I've never seen before. Anybody got any idea what that might be?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah. CM11 build 04/09 is a bum build. It was one of the first roms to incorporate all of the new OMAP4 stuff. I doubt the first build to use so many new updates will get it right on the first try. Maybe 3, 7, or 10 days/builds later all that stuff will work smoothly. But until then, use 04/07. I study the install reports here, look at the details, determinate which are found to be good, dependable builds, and those fraught with problems. Since I really need a good, working, solid phone, every day and night, I cannot afford to take chances on bad builds. So, when somebody says "Installed 04/07, went smooth OTA, nothing wrong with it for 2 days of average use, to me, that is "a good build". And when someone gives the same type of report for, let's say, 04/09 and complains of battery usage, sluggish phone, FCs, and other nasties they did not have before, it stands to reason this build should be avoided.

This advice is not for everybody, we need good testers and especially the reports that follow. So those of us with a burning curiosity and time on our hands, "experiment" with each new rom and we have plenty of these dedicated testers and reporters. They are really important people here and should have a title for it. But for those of us that want a phone with a modern nightly and good performance, we use the reports to find good builds to install on our daily use phones.

I cannot comment directly on "low memory set" problems, never had one. But this is like the 4th or 5th separate, confirmed issue with build 04/09. Troubleshooting roms if for developers who then address and fix the bug, and release it in a subsequent build. Not all of them can be "fixed" with a setting or trick. So, why "put lipstick on a pig" if you don't have to, get a better build or find one and report on it, please. Thanks! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
I usually flash to my backup, which might actually be 3/30 or maybe 3/31

Right now I might clean to today's build if a dirty doesn't fix it. I do love a lot of the 4/9 features like a rotating home screen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bradg24:
Downloading new build 4/11 now will report how it runs throughout the day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morr22066:
MMS working

I just did the ota update of the 4-11-14 nightly and MMS is working with the stock messaging app, it went through fairly fast with no major delay on my first try. I'm still checking other things out, but have not come across any problems yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, 03/30, me too. Just OTA's to 04/07 last night. Install went well, phone works well, today is first day out with it. But nothing wrong with it, yet.

"rotating home screen"? Really? What's that like? I use Apex launcher and have 5 screens that you flick with finger from side to side and the effects can make it "rotate like a cube" when going from desktop to desktop. Is that what you mean? Sounds neat. But I nave to wait for something a bit more stable and more trouble free than 04/9 right now. Nightlies are every night so I might not have that long to wait.

Nice talking to you.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

That is a useful report, thank you. OTA update, improvement on 04/11 over 04/09 by fixing MMS issues. Reporting stuff like this might seem like a small thing, but it is important. It gives us something to know when updating for guys that "really need a phone" to find a good rom. Let us know if you notice anything wrong or better, okay? Nice work, pardner! :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
You may want to turn on Google photo backups. Open the Google Photos app (multi color pinwheel icon), click settings, Auto backup, toggle on switch. Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive have similar capabilities.

1. I don't use MMS very often. I tried sending a test message with attached photo. I don't get any error messages, but the message is not sent and then it tries to resend.

2. My network shows 3-4 white bars, but icon doesn't indicate if it is 3g or LTE. So, I'm not sure what I'm on.

3. The CM web site was offline for quite awhile yesterday. It's online today so you may want to try again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GTiceman:
Well for the first time in my CM11 days, I plugged the phone into the dock and the home screen went and rotated.

I threw on 4/11 and so far stable and :fingers-crossed: no orange yet ... spoke too soon
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bradg24:
No problems so far with 4/11 even install backup apps off ROM toolbox ran smooth
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wilkster:
Has anyone either found a good solution for or have stop experiencing the lost Google services connection (orange bars in quick settings)? I don't ever see it happen on WiFi but when I am out-and-about I see it happen fairly consistently on Verizon LTE networks. Toggling the data icon usually brings it back, but in the mean time I have lost access to and notification of email and such. This is the one issue that is preventing this ROM from being a daily-driver for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kburt8:
I think we are just going to have to wait on 4.4.3 for an orange bar fix. Rumored to be coming to AOSP devices in the next few weeks. I would imagine CM won't be far behind.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh, I see. You have a dock for the phone. These docks have pretty screensavers, I have heard of digital clocks and cm11 even has something called "Deaydream" under Display & Lights in the Settings menu. They seem to be pretty screensavers, although a rotating desktop may be something new.

I am now on 04/07 because it was reported to be smooth and stable. And so far, it is and I like it. Everyone had high hopes for 09 as it contains a lot more new improvements. But being so new, these roms appear to be currently fraught with problems and issues. This new 09 and up rom will get better with later releases, now you have some issue apparent. I am going to wait until it gets better, I need a reliable phone these days. Thanks for clearing that up! :good:
