Ohmster is right. There is also a minor difference in some of the RAZR vs RAZR maxx internals. I know there is some issues that are exclusive to hardware on the maxx. I am one of the lucky ones as I have a Droid RAZR but I upgraded it with a maxx battery so I have a combination of both. The radios obviously are different and can interfere as well. I personally have never used OTG so there's not much I can offer I specialize more in root, safestrap, CM, JBX and general device issues or questions. Hope you find what you are looking for

Here is one that's been bugging me (xt912) the "take video" function is limited to about 1 second, before the file size exceed the 300k MMS limit. I have seen this in the stock app 8sm and Hangouts. Any thoughts?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
I had never used this feature till your post but just tried it and it does stop at 2 secs. Not sure if there are any apps that can send larger MMS but if you want to try you could lower the quality which should make the video take up less space. Not much mind you but maybe enough for your needs.

Have tried all the possible settings with no real change, the function does work on stock JB, you get about ten seconds Don't loose any sleep over it. If I desperately need it I can boot back to the stock slot, its not a must have, just a nice to have function

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Have you tried taking a video direct with the camera and then attaching it in a message? If that works at least it would isolate that its the messaging app

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ef141:
There is no option to "attach Video" you can attach as a picture and you will get a file to large for MMS message
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Damn worth a shot

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Confirmed. I do not have stock SMS installed, using Go SMS and that always works. You get a nice screen to pick video quality. Low 300K, Normal BigSMS 10Mb, and High BigSMS 10Mb. Ain't none of it works. The moment you touch record, it stops size exceeded. Bummer.

Jake, this is your show, anyway to report it or have to post in main channel? Or, maybe, devs do not take bug reports at all on nightlies? I never reported a bug but to the main channel. People will talk about it there. Devs like Stargo watch the channel, but I dunno who does video cams or if the video dev even visits any threads. Whatddaya think?

Hmmm, this is a good question. CM does not take bug reports except on snapshots or higher rating. And then, only official bug reports you have to file a certain way. Now I know that *somebody* cares about nightlies. After all, they do not want to just post roms that do not boot or work repeatedly, or even repost roms with a known bug w/out someone trying to work out the bug. Alright, this is Q&A. How do we complain about or report bugs in nightlies?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Through the forums. Nightlies are not top priority for fixes but is a good place to find things to improve or work on. That is what you would be reporting for

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Thanks. Did report in main thread. Guess what else does not work anymore? Green notification LED. It does light ONLY if you are in Settings/Lights and Display, and actually tap the adjust screen for default LED. While that one window is open, the default LED lights. Close that adjust Default LED color/pulse rate screen, and no more default LED.

Now, if phone is not right next to you but you can see it, you have NO IDEA if it is on, off, stuck, or dead. Comforting, isn't it. HDMI is cool and all, especially if it works and you can, let's say, use the phone as a portable HD Netflix generator. Hook to 65" HDTV and see HDTV, not pixilated image. Haven't tested HDMI so I do not know. But having to put hands on the phone just to know if it is on bothers me, a LOT. Since I use the light every day and not HDMI, this has got to go, unless they fix it.

Can you confirm?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
I've honestly never even used that. I leave my phone on all the time I never turn it off and only reboot when flashing so I never needed a light to tell me whether it was on. Its always on lol

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Did you open xposed and reinstall the framework? Unfortunately due to the way it hijacks the system this must be done after every new ROM flash

DROID RAZR MAXX CM 11 JBX KERNEL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, did it twice. I have not gone fresh for what, a month? Wait, some *are* working. My colored icons are gone but the clock mod is still there. I am back on 03*09 now. Strange. Wonder what hosed my modules?

Lotta changes since then. Cannot see my version on CM site. Might have to go fresh. Reverting to previous backup. Can you see if the notification light works? This is a different backup, maybe it will work from this one. But I really need you to check the green light. How hard can that be, Jake? Screen on, green light blinks at least once every 20-30 seconds. Same if screen off. Just stare at the thing, please?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
I went in to check for you. I had never used this option before so forgive me. I think its meant to pulse when there is a notification not just when turned on. But I am not sure as I have said I never used it. But when changing the led color it is blinking I presume so you can see how it looks different. After exiting the change color thing it stops blinking but idk if that's how its suppose to behave. :/

[Motorola Droid RAZR] l8n:
Is anyone having issues with the dialer if you use the + sign in front of numbers ? By this I mean +1 877 ... or +44 187... It hasn't worked for me for at least a week and dropping the + allows numbers to be dialed again. The symptom is the dialer takes longer than normal to start and immediately shows call ended.

Me ... Magic ... Here
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I have had this phone for over 2 years. The green notification LED will blink "Normal" which is a fast blink every 30 seconds, I believe. It might be 20, but I think 30. Does not matter if screen is lit or dark. Even when sleeping, green LED will blink. Now you can change the colors and timing, but a quick blink every 30 seconds has been the standard ever since I got the phone. Why is this useful? Because if the phone is not next to you, you are watching TV or something. You leave the room. You come back and are not sure if you missed a call or text, even got a voicemail. The LED blinks every 30 seconds. You need not get up, the phone is on and working fine.

Changing colors and pulse duration may be new. Never saw that before cm11. But the green LED does blink, indicating status quo, with screen off. Broken in this mod. If you ever revert to an earlier backup, you will see. I just went back to 03/09. Working fine.

Thanks for your help, Jake!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JakeDHS07:
Someone just posted in the main thread that the light is working for them on newest build. Maybe we are both doing something wrong lol.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] insanespecialist:
First off, thanks Ohmster. I've been lurking on this forum following this thread and the one in the development section since I started fooling around with nightlies. Anyway I just wanted to thank you for your involvement in these parts.

I think I didn't explain the battery issues too well. For the most part the battery life is good and I try to be careful (Bluetooth off unless I'm using it, GPS on power saving unless I need it, phone on airplane mode when I'm on the subway). The issue is that when I reach the 60%s in charge, eventually the battery just drops to 50% all of a sudden. Next time it happens I'll save a screenshot of the details in the battery settings. Anyway it looks like a complete vertical drop instead of a continuous discharge. This behavior also happens when charged to around 30%s and drops to 20%. This is over many nightlies (and monthly snapshots), after wiping Dalvik, Cache, the whole ROM slot on SafeStrap, deleting and making a new slot.

Again, thanks for the recommendation for Battery Doctor and the article. I've tried the app before (saw you mention it once) but I'll give it another go. I'm amazed how you manage to stay on top of these threads.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Two things, 'Battery Calibration' app is designed to clear the battery stats saved in the phone and could help minimize 'jumps' after a couple of charge/discharge cycles; I've also seen devs state that our phone's hardware was designed for 10% battery monitoring, and the 1% 'hack' we're used to is not reliable/accurate. Just to add to the confusion, compare battery levels as you boot between stock ROM, SafeStrap and CM11...

Reminds me of the story of the man who wore two watches... he never knew WHAT time it was!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] insanespecialist:
Thanks. That bit about our phones being made to detect the charge in 10% increments and not 1% makes sense, I just would've guessed the sudden drops would have been to the next lowest lowest interval of 10% (so something from the 60%s to 60%, not 50%). Maybe there's some 'drift' in the readings compared to the true value.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I wasn't trying to save the 'best' for last, but if you can duplicate that drop across more than one ROM even after clearing battery stats, that is also a symptom of a Li-ion battery nearing the end of it's service life. [emoji20]

-Brian

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Very good, Brian. Yes, the phones do measure in 10% increments. The battery stats are cleared every time you put the phone on charge. I learned this with wakelock, all the important stats I wanted to see were gone when I put the phone on charge and that is how it works. I have been in consumer electronics repair all of my life. Lithium Ion batteries are very good, last a long time, do not get the memory effect, but they do die. And like Brian said, they can drop huge chunks of charge when they do.

The reason I suggested Battery Doctor and WakeLock is because you would get some stats as to what was using power and when. You get to see the discharge cycle and either find the culprit or identify a battery on it's way out.

Brian is very good at problem solving and he is good at explaining it. So far as staying on top of things in the thread, well, that is a shared responsibility and good members take turns covering the group. When I am not available, Brian will step up. When others have obscure problems like APN issues, you will see chinkster or my2¢ jump in to help as they have a lot of experience with issues like this that I have never seen. It is a coop group where we all take care of each others needs and you can be a part of it too if you want. If you see someone with an issue that you are familiar with, step up and give some advice. This takes the load off other senior members to help others. We have a good, working thread here.

Brian, you know your emoticons from TapaTalk do not work in the thread on a PC? I see [emoji20] instead of the actual emoticon itself. You can try some of the basic emoticons by text if you want such as a a colon followed by an open parenthesis to show a smile. It works and all the rest have these same text foundations. So the smilie with text only characters looks like this: :)

A thumbs up is a "colon, good, colon" to create like this: :good:

You get the idea. Thanks for helping out Brian. This is an excellent way to show insanespecialist exactly how this thread and the cooperation between members really works. You have done an excellent job, Bri. Thanks buddy! :cowboy:

Hmmm. "JakeDHS07 and Ohmster's CyanogenMod Q&A Thread" doesn't sound possible anymore. But when people like you and you yourself appear to help out those new guys with questions, well maybe we can keep Shaun's legend alive that way. What a glorious tribute that would be. You really rock, Mr. Hughes. Did you know that? ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] insanespecialist:
Thanks for the advice - I'll look into more tomorrow after a good night's rest. Thus has been an issue for several months now so I'm guessing it's not a sign of imminent failure.

Anyway, Ohmster, I saw you asking about the call screen settings in the other thread. Asking flashing 7/29 I was looking around for them too. I think I got it. Goto "Phone" (the app), settings, then scroll down and you'll see a section called "Other Call Settings". The third setting from the top is "Incoming Call Screen Style". That has two options, "Classic" and "Fullscreen Caller Photo". Hope that helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Calibrate your battery! Use phone until it shuts down itself.

Then plug into charger while it's off and let it charge to 100% after its full let in 1 more hour on charger

I've also done jumps, but only rom side, in safestrap there's the real battery state then, for example, it jumps from 55 to 50,i Boot into recovery and it says 54 there....

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
You are welcome. This really isn't my thread, even though it has my name on it. This is really Shaun's Q&A to help others. I just dug in and helped out guests here when Jake was not available. So, he made me a part of the thread. We have enough members from the main thread now looking in to help out to keep this Q&A going. You see how DumbleCore came along and gave you good advice for battery calibration? That is what makes this group strong. We have a lot of senior members who pitch in to help.

The full screen caller photo is kind of lame. I think the changelog is really just laying the framework for customizations. Maybe they will come later. In any event, welcome to the Razr group. :cowboy:

no storage mounted

I have this problem with app backup&restore when using the lates axxion rom ver 1.5. I didnt have this problem with previous version. I have tried to solve this by installing handle external storage module with xpose framework but the problem insists.

Any idea?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Most folks here in the CyanogenMod Q&A might not be familiar with Axxion. What is the problem you're having with the backup and restore function?

-Brian

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] taufiqs:
Please take my apology for posting non Cynanogen (I always failed when creating new thread in Q&A to post this issue).

Axxion is actually based on CM yet compiled using linaro chaintool instead of google (cmiiw).

The problem is with an application named "app backup&restore". The app cant find the external storage for its backup location (while in fact the sdcard1 or the external is available by manually set the backup path".

The app always states "no storage mounted" evenif I have set the path.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Unfortunately, it is a known issue that many apps are not compatible with the way that KitKat handles storage volumes; by checking this app in the play store, I see that this is one of them. Until the developer of the app updates it to be compatible, there isn't much you can do. You can gain the same function by using astro file explorer, or the tool of most people's choice for backup is Titanium Backup, a very inexpensive tool that also backs up and restores the app data with the apps.

I have a persistent gripe with the developers of Dolphin Browser because it still won't let me save downloads where I want, it too suffers from the KK storage issue!

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] taufiqs:
Yes, i am fully aware of that. Btw, there's no problem with version below 1.5. So maybe mr [MENTION=5725382]siracuervo[/MENTION] can explain this related issue?

Thanks anyway brian for the response.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yes, Kit Kat severely restricts the way storage can be used. The EXT SD Card is OUT and not available for user app storage. This is new and it is not very welcome. So far there is no way around this and no one likes it. Brian told you that this is a CM11 thread and you can get help here for almost any cm11 Razr question. Many of us do experiment with other roms but it is hit or miss. You

might

get help in the Main Thread but I would not get my hopes too high. Ask, don't get your hopes too high, and if you do not get a reply, well, we are a cm11 group. I hope you get your answers and I hope even more that you find that you like cm11 and can then really participate in our very well organized group. FYI, I have tested the recent July builds, 07/27 and 07/29, am using 07/29 and I find the rom to be quite good. Could be a little faster but there are many, many features now available and pretty much everything works.

Good Luck! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DumbleCore:
Just go to play store and search for "SD fix"

There two I'd recommend, one from jrjummy the other from next app!

I'd try them, should solve your problems....

Btw, never had problems with reading/writing ext SD [emoji53]

Tapped from another Dimension
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I don't have a problem reading or writing to EXT SD Card. It is just the apps like browser, music, camera, and anything that can download and save stuff just will not save to EXT SD Card. I can write to it just fine, Titanium Backup keeps it's backups there. There is a thread on XDA that "fixes this for stock, rooted roms" but they say most custom roms already have this fix like cm11.

The XDA article is pretty good, Fix Your SDCard Issue On KitKat. They are saying that Google took this "apps can write to your Ext SD Card" property away because the SD Card is formatted in Fat 32, which really has no security like, say NTFS or Ext3. I don't get it, this is my cell phone, not a multi-user computer system so who cares about file security to this level? Well, now we have Google deciding what is good for us. The day they started removing apps from the Play Store like AdAway and even Google search because it can take Google ads away really made me sick. So much for Google's fight on censorship. Ugh!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] insanespecialist:
I was wondering if I could be of any assistance on helping around. The problem is I don't really do as much with my phone (I haven't gotten around to get any HDMI adapter for it, don't play with xposed, etc. ) so there's not as much I could report on except regular day to day stuff. Anyway I was thinking of flashing 8/1 and reporting back.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
That is a very good thing you can do for the group. We always look for and follow new installs and the reports that follow. These are nightly builds meaning that cm11 is not finished yet. Each new build should be better than the last but that is not always the case. Sometimes a new feature or big change to the rom is included and instead of working perfectly, we get problems like screen won't wake up, cannot get a good signal or data on the phone, Things crash or Force Close (FC) instead of exiting nicely or working properly. Those of us that really need a working phone every day, cannot chance just installing every build so we look for new installs and what, if any problems come with it. Then, the ones that cannot be without a phone will know that this is a safe, tested, and confirmed build and they can install it with confidence.

When you do these installs and reports, tell what build you are on such as 07/27 and what build you are installing like 08/01. How did you install it, clean by wiping the rom slot, or OTA (Over The Air) from the Settings/About Phone/CyanogenMod Updates. That is a nice easy way to update your rom. Did the install go well? Did you do some basic checks like does the signal lock in quickly, any orange icons, WiFi working, camera working, GPS and data working, does it reboot or crash, do you get any FC's (Play Store has closed unexpectedly), is the phone slow, or is there anything you notice wrong with it? Does it seem very good to you? Follow up on your report a day or two later if you notice anything is not working.

These are the kind of build reports we all look for and depend on. You can do reports like that when you update and it would be very helpful. And, you will build your Thanks ratio that way. Please post build reports in the Main Thread Here. There you go, a way you can for sure help and contribute to the community. Good luck, I'm rooting for you, insanespecialist. :cowboy:

Hey guys new to the droid RAZR not to android. I am activating it today xt912 seems to have newest jellybean. I'd like to root, install recovery , make backup then test cm the most stable version. And guidance in these steps ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Gracious! You ask a good question but to answer all if it, would take an awful lot of writing. I just answered a question similar to this for a person that kept getting corrupted boot screens. I know that cm11 and the gapps for Google apps and services cannot cause this, so I wrote him a quick "How To" for installing a rooted rom with CyanogenMod 11. Why don't you go look at the article, install Safe Strap in your stock rom and install the recovery environment so that it shows up at every boot, and install cm11 as it is already a pre-rooted rom.

By the way, CyanogenMod is a Kit Kat rom, not Jellybean. Much faster rom than Jellybean. If you want a stock, Jellybean rom and be able to root it, use Matt's Utility to perform this. NOTE: This utility is ONLY for XT912 Razr phones, do not try this if you have an overseas XT910 Razr!

Here is the article, read it and see if you can understand it. Good luck. :good:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SeregaOdUa:
Hi guys,

Would really appreciate your answer.

I want to flash most recent and stable (yeah, at the same time:) version of cm 11. I see basically two options are available for my xt912 : M9 snapshot (2014-08-09) and nighly builds released like every day.

So the question is what is the best option if I want to install it and then use it without need to update every week?

Currently I have MIUI insatalled but gprs internet does not work and it also turns off my phone when I play mp3 so I definitely neet replace it with better rom.

Btw, some time ago when I tried some nighlty builds of cm11 it has some issues with outgoing sms and I could not make it work. Do you know - was that fixed?

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hi Serge,

You have an XT912 phone in Ukraine? Do you use CDMA or GSM radio for phone there? Settings/Mobile Networks.

The snapshots are not a big deal and are no better than the nightlies they arrive with. The current nightlies are very good, stable, everything works. Not sure about with GSM though. Flash a recent nightly and pa-gapps (mini-modular) on a clean rom slot in Safe Strap. A really good way to get a perfectly clean rom slot in Safe Strap is to delete the slot, say slot 1 for example, then go and recreate it and bump up all the partition sizes a bit. Flash to this pristine rom slot your cm11 and gapps in one Flash. Flash the cm11 zip on your sdcard, then Add More Zips to add the gapps zip, then flash and reboot. You do not even have to wipe anything because the new slot will be very clean. Nothing else, reboot and do the setup wizard.

Check your Settings/Mobile Networks to make sure you have the correct settings for your area and check that the APN is correct for your area. This stuff should be correct, but sometimes you have to double check. Report back how it goes, okay? :cowboy:
