4years of duration, in comparision with these new "new", that expires in one year?

Analyze, if expires in "one year", the "new" born OLD TO DIE!

hahaha!

So, go to bootloader and enter the stock recovery menu and there should be a wipe cache option? Or do I go to the 'Factory' option in the bootloader menu?

When I enter the recovery in the bootloader, the phone goes a screen with bugdroid and a red caution sign coming out of his internals, and with the string 'no command' below him

I still get the same thing, stuck at the 'bionic eye' and it just vibrates every few seconds, so I guess its RSD Lite
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlwash123:
I'm not really sure what you're trying to say. Sure older phones can still work, but with the requirements of most apps these days, having only 1GB RAM makes my Razr M sluggish. And without the ability to install a custom ROM onto mine (without paying $25 for sunshine), I'm not able to redirect the save location for system or downloaded apps. Therefore, with only the 8GB of space (less after you account for OS) available for apps, I could barely manage to keep the internal memory free'd up while I only have apps that I use daily/semi-daily. I had to clear my app cache about every 3-4 days or I got a notification of low storage space, and could not update any apps.

Yes phones can last for a long time (I just bought a Moto X 1st gen which to some would be considered an old phone), but at some point, the software reqs eclipse the hardware of the older phone.....
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlwash123:
So since my Razr M is stuck on the boot screen, is it charging. Since it needs to be fully charged, this is a problem if it isn't charging? And if I leave it on the boot screen until it dies, whenever I charge it, it automatically boots. Is there a way to stop it from automatically booting? Or a way to keep it locked in the bootloader so that it isn't using so much power and I can charge it?

EDIT: Disregard

So, I used the method here: http://xdaforums.com/droid-razr-m/general/how-to-flash-firmware-rsd-lite-to-t3184005

I used the non-CFC zip VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml

RSD Lite seems to flash everything fine but then the phone reboots and it gets stuck at the droid 'bionic eye'. While its still plugged in, the status on RSD Lite says rebooting, then while the bionic eye animation is still showing on the phone, RSD Lite status changes to 'please manually power on the phone'?

Any idea what is causing this? I even factory reset the phone in the stock recovery and cleared the cache partition and then tried again. I tried letting the bionic eye animation play and it sat there for well over 40 minutes, not doing anything. All it does when it gets stuck is constantly vibrate. Long pulse or two short pulses. If i repeatedly press any of the power or volume buttons enough times, I will get a one pulse vibrate, then pressing the button again causes a two pulse vibrate, then pressing it a third time causes a long single pulse. Not sure if that info helps at all

Always Boots-up if power connected.

hi, I have a strange (to me) effect in that if the phone is plugged into a charger, it will automatically boot up when I shut the system down. If the phone is powered off and unplugged, as soon as I plug it in, it starts the system (ie boots-up) :confused: basically means I cannot charge it while the phone is off. I used to use a timer to charge it in the middle of the night (while it is off) so as to avoid over charging it.

I have tried multiple clean flashes (did not wipe internal or external SD cards) of both 5.1.1 (x2) and a 6.0.1 ROMs, and the behavior is exactly the same as explained above; all 3 are CM based ROM's. The phone only started doing it about 3-6 months ago.

Any ideas as to why? is it a common effect/behavior (of a dying phone...)?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
I have worked out why/what is causing this strange behavior and though I would share in-case someone else comes across the same. I also worked out that what was causing it, also killed my previous (original) battery and started to kill my replacement/new battery.

A little while back I purchased a new power board (six standard power plugs) which also had 2 USB ports for charging/powering USB devices. What I thought was a good thing, ie that the two USB ports were high powered ports, which charged my phone very quickly, turned out to be a bad thing:silly:. These high power USB ports were too powerful for my phone:eek:. These high powered ports caused the behavior I described above, including killing my battery:mad:.

If I used a standard USB charger the phone does not reboot automatically when turned off, and luckily my new battery almost appears to have "healed" :angel:. The phone started to shut down at about 30% remaining battery power:crying:; now it dies when the power goes to 0%.:highfive:

So the lesson from this experience is to not use a high powered charger on our phones.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
Thats what the return/output seems to imply. But it does say it AFTER it appears to finishes the flash. It now boots to recovery, so it may of just beeen a low battery in total.

My question I guess is, in cases like this ie

No System to boot to,

No recovery to boot to,

will it charge in fastboot? or is there a better mode? since i cant shut it down. But I guess I could just wait till it shuts down itself and then charge while its "off"? but I think when I plugged it into a charger, it sat on the bootloader boot image.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topshot:
My unlocked BL Razr M that's still running stock KK has been acting like a dog for the past few months and has annoyed me to the point I need to do something or I'm going to finally replace it. I've not downloaded any new apps so my guess is the few apps I do use every so often (i.e., Avast, Chrome, GasBuddy, Gsam Battery Monitor, Maps and WeatherUnderground) are becoming bloated with age (e.g., Microsoft syndrome) that this old CPU/RAM can't keep up anymore. Recently wiped out a bunch of files to regain enough internal space to update the apps again since a power cycle didn't help at all this time as it has in the past. Even just checking the storage space takes much longer than it seemed to long ago. You'd think it was a fragmented spinning drive instead of flash. Android OS is always the largest battery consumer.

Anyway, will a factory reset buy me anything? Reinstall 4.4.2? Try a custom ROM? I need to know what will get me my performance back (without killing battery of course) so I can hold onto this a few more years instead being forced into a much larger size (that I hate!). If a custom ROM, I plan to start using Bluetooth finally so that needs to work well. I've always kept it off along with Location unless I'm using Maps.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
If you are thinking of flashing a custom ROM, then you must have an unlocked bootloader?

If not (or even if you do), if you really wish to return back to original performance, I would consider flashing the actual Moto firmware v4.4.2 to really ensure nothing is left over from the current situation. Of course, make a full backup first (if you have an Unlocked bootloader install TWRP, there is a KKBL version here on XDA)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topshot:
That's why I stated "unlocked BL".

So you're suggesting flashing stock KK over my current stock KK and THEN going to a custom ROM (or just remain on stock)? Looks like Lineage 14.1 is the current favorite to try.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
Sorry :o skim read.

It depends if you wish to go custom ROM or stay stock. A stock ROM normally is pretty stable, and that's what you appear to be aiming for. Lineage 14.1 (Nougat) may be popular, but they are still working on it. I personally am running a heavily modified, self built LOS 13.0 (Marshmallow) with exposed, but I like the customisations too much. I am also running a JBBL. I am not sure you will have too many options for a custom ROM with a KKBL. You may wish to actually flash the JB version of a stock ROM.

But yes, if you want to be sure there are no left-overs from your current setup (that is running slow), flashing a stock firmware is the way to go; at least as a starting point. JB is probably your best bet for options on flashing a custom ROM after.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topshot:
I guess I'm curious if Android is like Windows in that it just keeps getting slower over time and it's best to just reload the OS and all your apps/data instead of trying to "clean/fix" the registry, etc. I've dealt with wonky Windows PCs the past few decades and am a Windows programmer. It baffles me why some of the seemingly simple apps these days take up so much space. I cleared the data on some (not the cache since it was often quite small) in my recent quest to claim internal storage. Is it just that these apps are getting needlessly complicated and taking more CPU?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
Historically, I use to clean flash every few months. But my last install has been very good. I guess it could be because of newer code that has been debugged more. I also push the envelope because I flash numerous ROMs; I like to see new stuff/options, and the last few months I have been building my own ROM's. Flash and normal nandroid restore is not 100%:(

The cache may be the smallest, but it is also the safest to delete (good devs know its temporary storage only), and going into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik is often suggested on problem resolution. As a windows dev, you will understand that devs assume a minimum level of computing power. You as a windows dev will assume that the usser has more than 16mb RAM; I remember the days when that was a BIG assumption. Same with android phones. As they get faster, devs assume people have the newer faster phones. And bringing it back on thread topic ;) our phones aren't getting faster; although I am running an Over-Clocked kernel.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topshot:
Yeah, I haven't gone into recovery to do anything since I unlocked it a couple years ago! Guess I should try that first. :p
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
Almost forgot, although the file-system is not on a spinning device, and therefore not affected by disk fragmentation, the file system itself does have ways that can slow down its performance. Haven't looked into if for a while, but do a search on "fstrim". Also since it is EXT4, many of the afflictions faced by Unix users (also on ext4 partitions) affect Android similarly. Note, flashing the base firmware will clean em up in the process, with a full wipe/format of all partition.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
I have always been rooted and have always had an unlocked bootloader and have run custom ROMs, so I have never been in your exact situation.

However, I know of times when I have manually flashed the wrong ROM onto my phone, the touchscreen "appeared" to be non responsive, but in actual fact, the touch screen was upside down and left to right reversed as compared to the display. ie to activate a button visibly in the top left of the screen, I had to click on the bottom right of the screen. Have you tried rebooting the phone (i am guessing you found a way to turn it off, pressing Power - Volume Up - Volume Down all at the same time at least gives you some options), and touching the screen in a "reverse-upside down" manner as described above? If this works, then you have the wrong touchscreen drivers for your phone, and the only way I can think of this happening is if you flashed the wrong firmware; which I would of thought RSD would not of allowed. Anyway, if that is the case, you should be able to download the correct firmware and flash that.
