Cellular data stopped working XT1254

Hello all,

I'm just curious if anyone else with a Turbo (XT1254) has had issues with mobile data using this ROM. If I overlooked someone mentioning this previously, I apologize, but I did look through the recent posts.

I'm using an image that's about a month old. Everything worked fine at first, but for the past few days I've only have internet connectivity through WiFi. Voice and SMS still work, just no mobile data.

I've checked to ensure that Cellular Data is toggled on in System Settings. No new apps where installed at the time it stopped working, and to my knowledge no updates to the system have been applied. I've wiped the cache from within TWRP, but this did not resolve the issue.

Next, I'll try flashing the newest update for the ROM (I believe I saw an update from a few days ago), and if that doesn't work, move back to AOKP or another ROM.

I'm just curious if anyone else is having the issue and might know why it stopped working with no provocation.

Thanks!
[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Not sure why you are having problems, but...

1) Make sure Cellular Data is turned on. Occasionally mine will turn off for no reason whatsoever.

2) Your APN may be wrong. The default APN for XT1254 in this ROM is "Straight Talk" which comes alphabetically before "Verizon". A lot of Verizon users who don't even think about APN are on the wrong APN. It may work for awhile, but if you are not a Straight Talk customer it's the wrong APN. At the least, your messages may be delayed by hours. You have to manually CHANGE IT to VZWINTERNET (Verizon Internet).

After changing to VZWINTERNET, make sure your all your settings match this below. IF it doesn't, edit your APN so it does match this:

3) If that is not the issue, you can flash the Clean Modem file to clear the cache of your modem. That fixes a lot of cellular issues too. Flash it in TWRP, reboot.

4) Last you can re-flash your modem file in TWRP. For XT1254, you would want this:

[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
You are welcome. Go back and read my post, I added some more information about the APN. While VZWINTERNET is the correct APN for Verizon users, some say it's not quite complete. Some users posted the COMPLETE settings you should have. I forget exactly what's different, but look at the screenshot I posted, and compare to your APN. Edit and correct to match the screenshot and you should be good to go. Again this is for Verizon users only.

Once you are sure your APN settings are complete and correct (again see both screenshots), you can delete all the extraneous APNs you do not need. For RR 6.x on my XT1225 on AT&T, there are like a dozen APNs listed -- all AT&T or AT&T MVNOs like Straight Talk, H20, etc. I deleted them all except for the one AT&T APN I know is correct.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] treewick:
Thank you for the thorough information - unfortunately, it begs another question. When I tap VZWINTERNET, the only thing I can change is the name. See the screenshot.

Here's a link - I can't seem to make the image load inline.

http://imgur.com/a/Csb7A

Any idea on how I can edit these? Or are they fine as they are?
[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Click the category you wish to edit.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] treewick:
That's what I was trying to say - I can't click on anything except the name. All other categories are grayed out, and not clickable. Everything reads "Not set" - but it all does seem to work, though.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
In mine, I click I the APN, it opens to show the settings. Then, I click on a specific category and my keyboard pops up to let me edit the value.

I'm on RR 6.x, but it can't be that different in how to edit an APN.

Looking at the values vs the screenshot I posted, is anything different? Someone said there's something you need to change. The screenshot shows the desired values.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] treewick:
This is what I'm talking about. Downloaded the mobile app so I can get the screenshot posted.

I understand that it shouldn't be an issue to edit these settings, for some reason on my device/this ROM it is though. I didn't realize you were using RR, so I know you're limited in the advice you can give. I appreciate your help and breadth of knowledge - if I run into further issues I'll work them out then.

[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Very strange. Maybe [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] or others can tell why you seemingly cannot edit the APN.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] jbeenemd:
I just checked and I also have the APN settings grayed out. It also appears that I do not have the usual settings that I remember for Verizon. I would add another APN but there is not setting for adding an APN.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] fgl27:
I don't know my are all fine I can edit just fine..

those with problem try to...

clean install last build to see what happens, if no good try to setup a APN manually, after save check it to see what happens.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] rhcreed:
Ridiculous question; It's been forever since I flashed a rom onto a phone, is there a step by step guide with adb and fastboot commands I can review to get back up to speed? Additionally, last one I did had an sd card, so the rom and gapps lived there, safe from the wipe, how do you wipe without erasing the files you want to flash?

thx!
[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Not necessary to use ADB and fastboot if you have TWRP recovery. All these ROMs are TWRP-flashable zip files. You would download the ROM to your phone and then reboot into recovery and "install" the ROM zip file. You would want to wipe your data, but NOT your internal data -- because then you wouldn't have any ROM to flash... Basically you want "Wipe" then "Factory Reset".

See it clearly says it wipes everything EXCEPT internal storage.

All you need ADB and fastboot for is to get TWRP custom recovery on your phone to begin with, if you don't already have it. But the instructions for unlocking the bootloader of all the Quarks include instructions for installing TWRP recovery. If you have an unlocked bootloader you probably have it. IF you don't, it's because you purposefully chose not to install it. Go back to the bootloader unlock instructions and read the section about installing TWRP recovery.

Installing TWRP is the same procedure for all Quarks, once your bootloader is unlocked. So, if you have unlocked bootloader, you can use my guide to install TWRP. See section #2 in the OP of this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-maxx/general/guide-how-to-unlock-moto-maxx-moto-t3455341

If you already have TWRP, would be good to make sure you have the latest version. You may have an older version. This is the current most recent version for our Quark phones:

twrp-3.1.0-MOD_1-quark.img

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767143958

If you already have TWRP, very easy to update to newest one within TWRP itself. You would download, boot into TWRP, go to "install", then at the bottom of the screen change over to "install image". It will then show you all the .img files in your storage folder, and one of those should be the TWRP you downloaded.

See, at the bottom this screenshot, that button on the lower right "install image" is what you would choose if you were installing a newer version of TWRP.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] jbeenemd:
After updating to the latest version and doing a factory reset I still CAN NOT EDIT or ADD an APN. I don't know how others have been able to do this but mine is a no go on this. I get the response "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user".
[Moto Maxx Android Development] rhcreed:
Great, thank you! I did choose to only unlock the bootloader so I could stay stock but have this choice later.. last phone I flashed was an S3 with clockwork mod recovery.. the cm days, there wasn't an official cm, so each flavor had some flaw..

Is there an issue with APNs on the 7/9 version I should wait on?
[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
[MENTION=1462127]jbeenemd[/MENTION], re-reading your post it seems you did a factory reset AFTER installing the ROM? A clean install would be doing a factory reset before installing the ROM. (Just going by how you wrote it. If I'm reading it wrong, please clarify.)

If you do a clean install and still can't edit the APN, maybe [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] can help you troubleshoot.

Also either quote him or mention his name on the post, so he sees it better.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] jbeenemd:
Sorry about the confusion. I did a factory reset before the flash of latest ROM. Strange thing was that it would not get past the first time start up screen. Had to go back to TWRP and restore data then was able to use my phone. Was getting late so just left it there. Will try again tomorrow. Still at work. Has been a 12 hour day so far and have about another hour then an hour drive home. I'm past retirement age so these long days get to me. Thanks for your help and input. I find it strange that we are not able to either add an APN or modify one of the present ones. Everything "seems" to work. However, I've noticed that my download speeds are much slower than they should be and don't have reception in areas that I could previously get Verizon's signal. Recently switched back to them from MetroPCS because of the poor coverage from T-Mobile towers while out fishing on my local lakes.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] fgl27:
the ROM flash clean just fine and as I reported no problem related to what you described, you may have another problem related to how you flash, clean, zips you use etc...

the easiest test, is backup, install the ROM only, test if all OK, install zip you use one by one to see if any fail causes problems...

that is the most simple process to see what is what, as you start with a backup restore it if you wanna at any point.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] jbeenemd:
This is the process that I used: first I did a fresh backup in TWRP, then did a factory reset in TWRP and followed with flashing the latest ROM zip. Then rebooted. When the phone came up I choose ENLISH language but after that the screen would seemingly stop working. Could go no further. Rebooted into TWRP and restored my backup. May be something in my backup that is not allowing me to add or edit an APN. Will retry after a fresh download of the latest ROM. Will have some time to do this in about an hour.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] £ngland:
Thank you for sharing your experience

Can you please report o. What u mentioned above after usage ?

Also what about the battery life how long does it last ?
[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Just pointing out the post you quoted was from October 2016 (page 3 of so-far 164 page thread), and was about a different version of Nougat than what this ROM has now. So many changes in both kernel and ROM since then, it's not really relevant...

[MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] Hi...

I flashed 7.1.2-20170701-quark-v4.4.zip after rooting my turbo xt1225, everything works superfine except battery life it was better in stock .

Is there anything that i can do to improve the battery life???
[Moto Maxx Android Development] jbeenemd:
[MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] I downloaded the latest ROM (7.1.2-20170709-quark-v3.5). Backed up data only in TWRP, Then did a factory reset and then flashed the ROM and rebooted. The phone starts up with the "Welcome screen". I can select "Get Started" which takes me to the next screen where I can select either "set up as new or "keep apps and data. Whichever I select takes me back to either the Welcome screen or back to the where I started. When I then go to shut down the phone I can go into settings from there. I can go to the APN settings. They are all grayed out. Can not change any settings and this is just as before. I have not installed anything at this point as I can not get into the phone. I can reboot into TWRP and re-install my data and programs. Can you tell me why I am not able to get past the welcome screen and startup? Why are the APN setting grayed out before I even setup the phone?
[Moto Maxx Android Development] £ngland:
Thank you ChazzMatt for passing by

I thought he was talking about this current ROM here

I really need to upgrade to an N Android but also need to make sure about the battery life due to my constant long hours travels!
[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
This Nougat ROM is now up to 7.1.2, which was not released yet back in October. This ROM was still using 7.0 back in mid-October 2016 when that post was made. In between then and now was 7.1.0, 7.1.1 and currently 7.1.2 -- so there's been 4 Nougat versions total. Plus lots of stock kernel work, too.

You can see all the releases here and the different versions:

I'm still on RR 6.X myself but will make the jump sometime.

What happens if you install a different ROM, like RR 7.X? It's also by [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] and has similar options, I believe. I'm not telling you to switch ROMs, I'm just curious if the APNs are also greyed out in another ROM? Install it temporarily just to test?

Only other ROM that I've tried was Computerfreak's modified stock. Guess I could try another ROM, but would like to find out what I'm doing wrong. Would like to hear from someone else running this ROM, if they can edit the APN or add an APN before switching.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] fgl27:
the ROM doesn't have a "Welcome screen" (you are probably using a old version of gapps), I ask you to flash the ROM only noting else? after a clean install that is manually wiping data, systems, cache and dalvik art cache (everything but USB and Internal memory)

you did not understand that, please when you can do what I ask you please let me know the result.

:good:
[Moto Maxx Android Development] £ngland:
So, after all this hard work that really amazed me and we all appreciate it from our Developers

again the most important Question is ... Should I upgrade to MM or N ?? and the biggest matter to me is battery Life ?

Thank you all :)
[Moto Maxx Android Development] NepoRood:
It's quite simple, actually. Do a TWRP backup, and experiment with different ROMs/upgrades on your own. Everyone has an opinion about everything, doesn't mean you will agree. See for yourself, if you don't like what you're trying, restore your backup :good:
[Moto Maxx Android Development] jbeenemd:
I did a factory reset from within TWRP. Also did a manual Dalvik, cache wipe. Did not manually wipe the data since a factory reset should have wiped that. I did not install gapps after the factory reset. Maybe the system wipe will get rid of what was remaining. Will do the manual wipes as you have outlined and report back. Might be able to get this done over my lunch break. Thanks so much for your help bhb27. I do appreciate it.

Try flashing bhb kernel and App Mod Kernel adiutor for Quark (both available in the same thread). After that use battery saving recommendation/settings mentioned there in post # 2.

a couple last questions (cause I'm very anxious about this flash);

- anything that we know isn't working? didn't see anything listed..

- is there a way to flash back to stock if things don't work out?

thx
[Moto Maxx Android Development] Steve One:
Just make a backup, and if you are not satisfied you can go back.

But I don't believe that you'll want to go back to stock.

[MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION]

Thanks for the update and for continuing to make this the best custom rom for quark :)

Curious why it seems that the presence/absence of an AdAway icon in the app drawer alternates every other build?

I don't really have a preference either way, just wondering why it's always changing?
[Moto Maxx Android Development] Hlcpereira:
Well as far as know, AdAway it's a feature of CrDroid (available on CrDroid Settings) and it wasn't removed in any another version to [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] needed to get in again. Maybe it's a bug by this detail(?).
[Moto Maxx Android Development] Q9Nap:
Thanks for the reply; to clarify though, it's always accessible through crdroid settings > miscellaneous, but some builds also have a launcher icon, visible from the app drawer, and some don't have the launcher icon.

Just a curious observation.
[Moto Maxx Android Development] fgl27:
Not really responsible for none device specif changes, I leave that for the dev doing a great work on that and I just keep the device side as perfect as I can...

[Moto Maxx Android Development] rhcreed:
Ok, finally sacked up and made the flash happen and I have a couple questions please;

1 - why does my power button start my camera and how can I turn that off? Looked in settings, didn't see it anywhere..

2 - how can I disable stock apps? (audiofx, stock camera, stock messaging, stock file explorer as examples)

3 - the main reason for jumping to a custom 7.x rom was to improve battery life and I'm not seeing it (full disclosure, it's been about 24 hours, so maybe it needs to settle?), so what do you recommend for the following;

3a - what are your general battery improvement suggestions for this rom?

3b - I'm not seeing the usual detail when I go to the battery settings (to see what's using it), is there a setting for more data? (wakelocks and location pulls and stuff)

3c - Is there a log or something I can provide to help asses this?

I did a very basic flash (wiped first) of teh latest rom and gapps.

Thanks!
[Moto Maxx Android Development] ChazzMatt:
I have RR 6.X but the options have to be similar. Go to Settings and use the search menu at top, and type in "camera". You should get some "launch camera" choices. On RR 6x, one of those is in Settings/Configurations/Button Controller/Hardware Keys. And there's the option to "Press power button twice to turn on camera". I have that turned OFF, as it annoys me also. :rolleyes:

I use Titanium Backup to "freeze" stock apps I do not want, so they are disabled. Won't show up in the app drawer, won't run. Out of sight, out of mind. However, in RR 6.X, under Settings/Configurations/Miscellaneous/System App Remover, there's also a whole list of system apps you can check off and remove. You can use that instead of Titanium Backup. If you can't find it, go to Settings, use the search bar, type in "system" go down the list to see exactly where it is.

Again, I'm using RR 6.X, but most of these ROMs have similar Settings menu choices, the only difference is where did they put them in Nougat vs Marshmallow?
[Moto Maxx Android Development] rhcreed:
Thank you, that solved the camera thing, didn't care for that at all!

Used TB (had forgotten all about that :) and froze those apps, thx again..

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

What is everyone doing to improve battery life (is this a common issue)? Seems like a great rom, I would hate to have to go back to stock over the battery. Could it stabilize after a few days?

I did read the kernel post and implemented what I could, the settings and the post were very different.

There used to be an app that allowed you to see who was calling for wakelocks and locations so you could deny those permissions, does that still exist?

Thx
