Fused Location Issue

I'm on the latest CM11 nightlies with my XT910 for about two months now. In some days around 03/26

my location went imprecise in my inner city area. So searched a bit around and I think something went

wrong with the Location Service. Somehow the location based on WiFi-Networks aren't used anymore for

getting current location.

Before 03/26 everything was ok, but with an dirty-flashed update in these days the location is not as

precise as it was before. I checked it with my Google Location History. I also tried a clean install of

the latest nightly in a newly created SS 3.65 Slot last week (with dirty flashed updates until today),

but the issue is still there.

So I tried to open a thread here; but nobody answered:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2725727

Before that, I also searched the dev-thread and I'm not the only one with this issue:

Yesterday I did some logcats during starting and reentering Maps for several times, because I thought,

I'll get some more Informations... I'm fairly new in reading logcats, but I found the entry

E/LocationManagerService( 526): No FusedProvider found.

only at the beginning and in every logcat I did. After that this error didn't show up again also no further

message for LocationManagerService was shown.

In general my location is found based on cell or gps location...

Is this some kind of normal for now or is someone getting precise locations in inner city areas based

on WiFi networks? Or has anyone other logcat entries regarding LocationManagerService?

I've been on 4/22 for a couple days now, and it's working great. LTE and Wifi connectivity is working really well. Everything's been pretty snappy and smooth as well. Haven't had hardly any resets or app force closes.

The only problem I have every now and again (and not just CM11 Nightlies, but CM10.1 and 10.2 roms as well) is the screen not wanting to turn back on when I try to wake it. The capacitive buttons light up, but the screen stays dark. Any fixes for this? Sometimes it'll come back on after a like a few to 30 seconds have elapsed. Other times, I just end up having to do a hard reboot. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
There was a wake lock fix in one of the more recent nightlies that might help. Try build 24-25 or JBX kernel and oc where more voltage results in less BSOD

hey Jake,

one of the other ROM's i follow has the main ROM thread and Q&A threads linked into some kind of Project. take a look here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2672683

you can see there's a header for "Discussion" (main ROM thread), "Q&A" (completely separate thread in the Help & Troubleshooting forum), "Feature Request" etc.

not sure how you get this done, but might be something to consider for "combining" the CM11 ROM thread and your CM11 Q&A thread.

i didn't go through all of this thread, so sorry, if this has already been mentioned.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
I would be willing to do so but I don't know if it's possible. I am running this pretty independently from the rest of the CM team and the gentlemen who started the CM 11 thread is no longer a active member.

Quick question, since it's on my mind, is this a "vanilla CM" thread? Or a "CM Base" thread? I hope you understand what I am sayin'.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
I think I do understand as such will say this for issues and mods related to the official cm builds as that is the only which I am involved in development of and can answer questions about. Not very familiar with other Roms that use CM as a base then alter the code. Those questions should be relayed to their respective thread here on XDA or their dev

JakeDHS07's CyanogenMod Q&A Thread

Let me help out here a bit if you don't mind, Jake.

Jake tends to be a very modest individual who literally works his butt off installing new builds and custom kernels, reporting results, finding answers to questions to himself and to assist and benefit others with less and even more experience with Droid Razr Phones and CM11. The guy is blessed with time, skill, and patience the likes of which I have hardly ever seen. His "Post to Thanks" ration is beyond 50% and that is a very rare condition to find in any member, other than developers themselves who actually find the time to participate in group and individual discussion.

There is an "Official CM11 Droid Razr" thread as Jake has mentioned and that is where you will find the most recent news or developer announcements. But having someone like Jake here is a real boon to those of us with jobs and busy schedules, who need and depend on a phone to work every day. We cannot risk experimenting with new builds only to find we missed jobs or work, income, or medical information, because of a faulty build. Jake will install a build, report on it by build date, and give details on what is good and what, if any is not. I consider this thread a terrific resource for new builds when I need to update and know what I am getting into and am very grateful for Jake's experience, diligence, and helpful attitude with helping anyone who asks to the best of his ability. I am grateful for his help on numerous occasions and have given thanks many times for it.

I wanted to take a moment to step in and tell what I think about this thread. If Jake were to make admissions like this, it would seem to be boasting and Jake is much too modest for that. But if someone else feels this way and wants to say something about it, I feel it justified to say so. Thanks for your help Jake. You make it possible for me to enjoy most all of the good things in Kit Kat without having to suffer so much of the pain that goes with any new build or project as it matures. ;)

To flash the M6 or not to flash the M6, that is the question.

I'm still running 4/22, and I'm reasonably satisfied with it. Battery life is my biggest issue right now. Still, I'm curious to upgrade and am wondering how the M6 compares to the latest nightlies.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] insanespecialist:
For a couple of minutes I was continually getting a notification "No APN specified on this device" which I found weird considering I did have one selected as seem below. The issue cleared up on it's own and I know other people have been having APN issues and got curious. Running the M6 snapshot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
All the latest nightlies are bad. I have 05/04 and it sucks. Black screen lockup city. Others get no APN issues. Others still with UI FCs. Just don't mess with anything new yet.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hah hah! Yeah, but your stuff is turbo charged, Jake. We can't all be like you. Then you would be out of work. ;)

Well, chinkster is saying that he installed M6, applied your APN fix, and is very happy with it. You got your APN fix incorporated? And JBX, that might be nice. Mine phone is not clean, I OTA all the time and try to avoid bad builds. That, could be an issue.

So, how come yours works so well? Clean install, custom kernel, APN fix? Any of that, anything else dude? :silly:

...Oh you are on 05/01! That could be why. Yeah, I 'member now! 05/01 *was* pretty good. I went to 05/04 for Micheal's test after Soundgirl said it was good.

Okay, you don't have to answer all that stuff.

Thanks for the tip, Jake! :good:

Jake, on the apn fix I didn't have the priv-app folder nor could i find the apn apk to move it. But i did back up the stock apn's and it is there on cm 11 5-4 build and was able to move it and restored the apn's with success.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well hey it is awful nice of you to stop in and visit with us, Indyultra.If you have questions, we will help you. There is indeed a /system/priv-app/ folder on cm11 that you can see in the screenshots supplied below. As far as "apn.apk", I don't have one either. Perhaps Jake can tell us more about that. Maybe it has a different name. But, you state you got 'er done and that is what counts. Welcome! :laugh:

Long day, that's alright. Take a break and I got your back for a while.

Oh! Mine is different. I see what is going on, you have to just go through the entire list and look for the keyword in the name, "APN". Seems provider based. Mine is Verizon so I didn't find it until I hit the end of the list. See screenshot.

Well that helps me out Jake, take a cookie with you. Goodnight buddy. :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Thats the location and name of the backup and restore app I use that people were having trouble finding. The one you are showing is the APN library which everyone has and where the apns get restored to with the app I showed. Just so there is no confusion

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Jake, you are absolutely right. It was not until later that I found the apn services apk file. I added the circle mark after I already marked the library file by mistake. I just attached a fresh screenshot with /system/app/VSWAPNService.apk marked on it. This is the APN file, not the lib. But since I do have the associated library, I *think* I would need both. What do you think, Jake? Can the lib file go along for the ride with the VZWAPNService.apk, wouldn't that be necessary if one had one on their phone? ...if you know off the top of your head.

Thanks Jake. You are rocking once again. I have been down for a week with back pain and I tell you, even simple answers are difficult when one is not on their game for a day. :p

Oh, one more thing... (Lieutenant Columbo's famous last words.) Even Stargo advised me in a public post that it would be good to revert to an earlier backup without issues and hang there until things get fixed in the new builds. (Read that link if you haven't seen it. He answers several people in one post about the issues they mentioned.) He states that as of Easter Sunday, as far as he knows, that is when the new theme engine was introduced to the builds and it has been causing nothing but signal losses, lost APN, UI FCs, and the dreaded black screen of death. I did try 05/01 for a day but had orange bar city and was watching a very strong signal drop to 1 bar and then zero. Reverting to 03/19, the day before Easter, I have a very stable phone once again. This is just my phone, you state that you have good results on 05/01 but I did not do the APN update because I have not seen an actual loss of APN on my phone, just the dreaded black screen, and that one is a total deal breaker for me.

Thanks Jake. Take care! :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Indyultra:
Yes that's the same one I have in cm11 but don't in my stock. But it did work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Looking for older builds

Jake or anyone,

The current build set is ah, "going through changes" with theme engine problems. I used an 04/19 backup to get online right before Easter and the theme engine but do not have the build itself. Do any of you have some builds from Mid to Late April that you can share?

If so, could you be so kind to make a deposit in my dropbox please?

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/36h51qd2k5f8bdk/AACAtzBepwk1mL_Twi6Juuj9a

Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

UPDATE:

Added 04/19, thanks to Emil Folsom, ef141. This is the *last* build before the new theme engine was put into cm11. It has issues such as orange bars at times. I do not find it troubling as the phone and Google seem to work fine. No crashes, black screen, or lockups in this build.

Those of you needing files, please visit my dropbox or read this message with download and MD5 details.

Hi

Does the 4/19 build have a stable camera with flash and a 1080 camcorder?

Other than Orange bar thing is anything wrong with 4/19?

This is for my wife who is still running stock razr maxx, which runs like crap.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Well, orange bar is my issue, but it really does not seem to affect the phone so much. I DID run a camcorder test for you. I changed video codec to MP4 to get some high resolution and see screenshot for video properties. I got 1900x1280, not too shabby for HD. The codec change is not hard, right in camera settings. Oh, there is another setting in camera for video quality, see screenshot #2. Yeah man, HD 1080p, HD 720p SD 480p and a couple others. Very good, makes nice videos. Bonus, you can save to SDCard instead of internal storage if you like. I have a 64Gb SDCard from Amazon, cost $40 and is well worth it.

Only complaint on the camera at that time is that it is NOT good for pausing. You can pause and resume with it, but the pause release dot is very tiny to hit square on with finger. Often you will miss it slightly and result is video stops and video file remains an unplayable temp file, which you should delete with File Manager to save your card space. If you do not pause, it really is reliable and very high quality video. I have successfully released pause mode to resume recording, but the process is dicey as the pause release dot is about 2-3mm, much smaller than a person's finger and it is very unforgiving, you cannot miss. :(

Camcorder Note:

I do not have a stylus that you can get cheap at the counter from any Walgreens or similar store. Something like that may enable you to record video, pause, and resume by tapping that pause release dot square on. The cam is made such that tapping the screen while recording will save a photo at that time. I do not think that feature was made for pause mode because missing the pause release microdot and tapping the screen tanks the video file and stops record mode.

Stock camera very good, very high res w/all the flash settings you need. Overall both cameras as well as rear face cam work very well.

No other serious issues for me. This phone is stable and I can use it daily now, w/out worrying I will lose a call, have it lock up, black screen, or crash. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Jake,

I have made available for those that need it, some earlier April builds, one the day before the theme engine. My only issue is orange bars, not serious, the phone still works good and Google is available. Chinkster says that you made an "orange bar how-to" at one time. Is this something I can see or have a copy of, if you have a moment?

Thanks buddy. Rock on, party time, excellent! :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
He's talking about that APN fix I posted. Its helped some people with their "orange bars" issues. Though I still don't know what those are. Never had them

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
LOL! Thanks Jake. ;)

NOTE:

Your Thanks Meter was running at 399. Your post was helpful, I do not have to pursue this "mystery fix" any longer, and if there is anyway possible, I *want* to be the one to push you up to the next hundred mark. It's legit and a good feeling to watch a 3rd digit 3 roll over to a 4. How kewl is that?! :D

You know, 400 Thanks out of 1,200 is about right for any senior member that often helps others. But you have an astounding ratio of thanks to post. I had to calculate. That is a Thanks percent of 74.35%. OMG, do you know how high that is, dude? It has to be an absolute top rating here at XDA. And, you got all of that praise by way of your nature, you like to help and are very active and polite about it. If you do not know, you will go out of your way to find out. You actually earned every one of those 400 points with a measly 538 posts to work with. This is ultimate dedication and hard work. The board at XDA surely must be aware of it. By the time you hit 4 digit post numbers, you will be an admin at the very least. Hope you like working here, you got a future in it.

I am really grateful for all the help you gave me when I didn't know and the others didn't really care to help or bother with it. The main thread is better now about filling the help desk, but many there are in need themselves of help so it makes this JakeDHS07's CyanogenMod Q&A Thread all that much more valuable for a help resource. Great job, buddy! This thread is no longer an option, but a "must have" in any Droid Razr modders tool kit. Really, really, thanks for everything, man.

...oh, dinner bell. Gotta go! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Thanks. You pay more attention to my thanks meter then I do lol. I didn't even know what it was at. But that's very cool. Its also why I don't post much until I have quality posts and important things to say. Keep the posts respected and the thanks ratio high.

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hah, I guess so. Not so much for the meter itself, I just never see anyone with less than 1K+ posts ever get that many thanks but for a developer releasing a significant app or build. Most of the devs do not talk at all.

Now that second part of your reply makes a LOT of sense. It is very hard for me to say anything in few words. So, even if I have something really helpful to say, it tends to get watered down by so much writing and posting. I love good advice tidbits and your reply was one cherry I will hang on to. Great advice Jake, thanks. *That* really was good advice. Goodnight buddy. ;)

been awhile since i flash my phone kinda rusty with it. so some noob question where can i dl JBX & WiFiAP fix? Wish to flash to 4.4.2 >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535920&nocache=1
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Jake should really answer this and he will. But quick answer is you do not need either of them to flash cm11. For sure no WiFi fix. That has been fixed months and months ago. JBX is a custom kernel, gives you performance gains at price of battery power, can give battery savings with battery friend choice. I used to use it a lot and really love the thing, but if you do use it, you will have to flash it every time you do an update. For basic install of cm11 download cm11 and pa-gapps. Follow the guide you have the link to and flash with Safe Strap 3.7.2. Those are the only two files you need to get cm11 installed and purring like a kitten.

JBX is quite nice, you see how Jake has it in his signature so you know he uses it all the time. I don't use it anymore because I like to update through the Settings menu and just update OTA w/out having to move files and flash the phone by hand. When using a custom kernel, you have to manually do that each time. But it is a really nice kernel.

Jake can tell you the virtues of using JBX tomorrow when he sees this post and answer any additional questions you may have. Good luck. :good:

[Q] Replacing Stock Slot

I have been told by one of my close, personal friends that you can flash over the stock slot. Is this possible?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
With newer versions of safestrap yes. Works with recent cm 11 builds and may work with other Roms as well. Contact the respective devs to be sure. I usually recommend against doing so as its nice to have a stock slot to fall back on in case anything goes wrong or you decide to sell the phone. However if you decide virtual slots/ROM switching is not for you yes it has been made possible to flash to stock slot.

im from asia and my phone last stock update is 4.0.4. i have search around and i found the asia firmware from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=10

but they are few version not sure which one suitable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Of course it is. My stock slot is actually Matt's Utility for XT912 phones. I for sure do not have any Verizon stock roms on my phone. But Matt's Utility is the blur rom that came with the phone, de-crapified. He took out all the useless Verizon bloat and left the original blur stock rom with Jellybean. Once I tanked my phone really bad, I had to use AP Fastboot and a USB cable to install Matt's Utility. Now I have working, rooted, stock phone. Works great. But once cm11 came along, I had to have it. Now I for sure am not going to risk messing up the one and only good working OS on the phone so I installed cm11 to slot 1. And I am going to leave it that way.

With a good, rooted, stock rom, I can do anything to the phone after that, even if cm11 were to tank. "It is not recommend to flash new roms on stock slot". Save that for your "for sure always working rom" and leave stock to stock". Experiment with the other slots.
