[NIGHTLY] UNOFFICIAL CM9/ICS For Droid 4 For MotoICS Leak

Hashcode said:

Keep me updated if you can as to how the data is working. It probably won't come up all of the time automatically and you will need to toggle to GSM-ONLY and back to LTE to get it to work... but it should come up more often. And fight less when it doesn't come up. (It'll just stop retrying after 1-2 attempts instead of continuously cycle between GSM/LTE looking for service).

so far i have rebooted 3-4 times and had no issues with 4g connecting on its own. Last night i did run into an issue where 4g said it was connected but email and all other network required apps were not connecting to the data service, Cycling the gsm/cdma lte did not resolve the issue and a reboot was required to resolve the issue. I am having the blue tooth issue which isn't that big of deal doesn't need to be on sucking up battery life when I am not using it anyway. I don't often use WiFi so any issues it may have i have not encountered.

I installed the 3/21 nightly today, after wiping completely.

Now I cannot connect to anything 3g or 4g...wifi connects, but it will NOT connect to any cell service.

I have tried switching between cdma/lte and gsm only, gsm only to cdma to cdma/lte, airplane mode (which resets it back to gsm only for some reason) then back to cdma/lte, rebooting, power off, power off with top button and volume down (simulates battery pull) numerous times, I was just overwriting the nightlies but after having an issue with the 3/19 build today not connecting at all after messing with it for over an hour, I decided to wipe clean and try it out.

When I first flashed the 3/21 build, it connected straight to 4g without me having to do any switching to gsm, now it just keeps cycling between a bar graph, and a bar graph with an R on it, no matter what I do the best I can get is for it to display the "3g" icon for a few seconds, but it never locks.

I love this rom, it makes this phone SCREAM, but I'll be darned if I can get anything but a flaky connection

I really don't want to go back to stock...it just felt SLOW compared to this, this is what this phone was meant to be, and everything works great besides this stinkin' issue with cell reception.

If it matters, I have 3-4 bars of 4g at my house from day 1 with this phone (that's where I'm testing) and I only started getting the issues with the 3/19 build once I went to an area with poor service, then it would never connect again besides when I went back to stock to call my wife and when I first flashed the 3/21 nightly.


***EDIT***

Finally got 4g to connect, but now it drops it out after a few minutes to 30 seconds of connecting, then keeps switching to the 'R' icon and back to 4g...connects, then loses it again.


***EDIT AGAIN***

4g connected like 2 hours ago after continuously playing with it, now it's locked and I'm afraid to touch anything in fear that it will lose it again and I'll throw my awesome phone into the wall in frustration.

I understand it's not the rom developer's fault, I wish motorola would release the source and unlock these stupid phones so we could get awesome rom support quicker, and less buggy, but dang this is annoying.

THANKS FOR THE ROM!!

I know you're working on it hash, I'm not frustrated with you, or those helping you, I'm frustrated that Motorola locked the phone and made it hard for you.

For now I went back to the stock rom, I need decently unflaky reception (seems even the stock rom has problems getting a data lock). I'll give the rom a shot every weekend or so until y'all say the data issues have been fixed.

The phone was slick **** on your rom, performed like how it SHOULD perform! Only issues were the ones you told me to expect, so no worries, I understand you're coding blind.

Thanks for the opportunity to check it out, otherwise I would've returned the phone by now, I am confident that you will get it licked and then ill have the perfect phone, it'll just take some time.

You nailed the current issues that I'm researching in our data connection:
Anything less than perfect reception can be difficult to work with at the moment.

Sorry for the frustration -- its a work in progress.

Hey I bet our frustration isn't sh*t compared to yours. You just keep doing the kick ass job your doing and well worry about pulling our hair out over data ourselves. Don't worry about us lol

as always thanks Hash... just wanted to give you a bit of an update..

So I flashed the 3/23 nightly over the 3/18 and started out ok normal connectivity flip to gsm then back and i was off and running. i did notice that after 24 or so hours i was having to restart my phone almost like it was just forgetting it was connected. I tried several times to just change back to GSM then to cdma/lte but this did not restore connectivity... not a game changer but was odd... normal bluetooth issue and that was it works great

decided since i had been having to reboot because my phone was forgetting it was connected to flash again today and installed the 3/25 update again over top without wiping.

upon boot 4g connected flawlessly, phone has been very steady today granted its only been 7-8hrs since i updated.

also on a side note, not sure if it was a fluke but from lunch i forgot to turn the BT back off when getting out of my car and did not lose audio when my wife called me. i will test this more and keep you posted.

So, I'm running... I've lost track... 3/23 I think, and I'm having the reported issues of course, wifi, 3/4g.... its very usable though! I have been running this rom solid (not feeling the need to switch back to stock) since 3/18 or so.

I'm also having this really odd media audio issue.

In the car, I stream music through the headphone out on my phone. I also generally have the phone powered by a cig. Lighter power adapter. The adapter is sort of cheap, so sometimes it loses its power, and I need to wiggle it around in the cig. Lighter socket.

The problem is, on cm9, this loss of power breaks audio... ill be streaming, power will cut out, and the phone switches to its internal speaker! Fix the power, and it mutes... or switches to some channel I'm not able to listen to maybe...

To fix it, reboot the phone, or unplug the power adapter from the phones micro usb port.

Weird, right? Has anyone else seen this?

I have been on 3-25 for about a week now and I haven't seen the phone do the perma-lock into roaming that I've seen with other builds. I have had to restart the phone and switch toggles and network types still though. Will you be able to use anything from the coming Razr ICS release to fix any of the current bugs?

Seems like everything is working on this ROM works almost perfectly... will have to give it a shot one day.

Just flashed this ROM and i have to say im in love! Awesome job and hats off to Hashcode!

I really hope that it does. I just got phone back up and going cause of using my WIFI other then that I've had no data.

My answer would be no. Since these issues only occur in our custom roms.

I couldn't bare to wait anymore so I caved in and flashed... runs almost perfectly and the hiccups aren't much of an issue. Nice job...

Rom is running smooth from what I can see. Data issues are the only thing I can tell affect me but not a ton cause I'm near wifi a lot. Does anyone know a way to get smart actions on here or is it not ICS compatible yet?

Well my data has gotten better through the day actually it was weird this morning but it held data all day. I just need to do some looking at the battery I'm only getting 8 hours. I'm going to try juice defender tomorrow
