Bluetooth issues on JB roms - Motorola Droid 4

I dont have enough posts to post in the rom-related threads, but i have been having some issues and would like to share my experience.
Avatar Rom - I kept having random freezes, and wouldnt wake up. Occasionally i had a issue with bluetooth not being able to turn on but it seemed to work it self out on its own after a day or two.
Liquid - Had more bluetooth issues, and same random freezes/reboots
AOKP - Has been my daily driver for a while now. I still get the occasional reboot out of nowhere, but my only main problem with this one is the bluetooth. It works great after i flash the rom, then if i reboot, it will be switched off and will not let me switch it back on. To fix, i have to boot into recovery and wipe cache, and reboot. Then it works great until another reboot.
Also i have noticed in all roms except the stock one, the phone gets pretty hot while listening to pandora or playing games or anything really. Is that just common with this phone?

Haven't had the same issues with blutooth but I noticed changing the governor to interactive helped some with the reboots and and random freezes on CM10.1 and Avatar.
If your streaming pandora over 4G then yeah, phones probably going to get a little warm.

All thes roms based of aosp
I used the latest aosp nightly and I don't have problems with bluetooth

there was/is a known bluetooth stack issue
i saw some .zip fixes in other forums like the samsung epic4g
doubt its compatible, but the issue was identified and likely why aosp was fixed

I am having an issue with bluetooth using RC5 of CM10.1 (I will update to the latest nightly). Phone sets up nicely, but twice now after the first restart, bluetooth will not power back on. Was clearly on after set-up with the icon in the notification bar, and now the toggle won't slide to on.

[ROM Feedback] CM 6.0.2 (09/05/10)

To my knowledge, there is no thread dedicated to the new numerical releases of CM. Let us start with the newest, CM 6.0.2.
Please post your anecdotal data, including benchmarking scores, bugs, and glowing experiences. Perhaps this will serve as an unofficial repository for issues that prove consistent.
Note: After modifying my WiFi settings, specifically disabling sleep mode while the screen is off, I've encountered no related instability.
Mail FC Fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=394316&d=1283500340
Systemic issues yet to be addressed:
-LEDs do not work save for charging
-Outgoing calls initially drop before reconnecting
-Lockups or reboots, likely stemming from SetCPU
-OS does not recognize internal storage
Does this version fix the wifi not staying on?
Did you change your settings to Never sleep for wifi and just left the wifi on? Thanks...I want to try different settings and see if I can eliminate reboots/shut downs.
are we waiting for the nightly for the newest fixes like LEDs or is there gonna be a new release like .3?
OP you are a month behind (it's 9/3 not 8/3)
After fixing the mail fc, this rom is very stable except for one lingering issue. I guess it might be wifi related. I went all day without any issues with wifi on constantly (and bt) but when I left work (and seemingly as soon as I got out of wifi range) the phone was locked up with nothing on the screen, unresponsive. I had to pull the battery. This has happened since RC3 for me. I am going to try it without wifi over the weekend. Otherwise, BT streaming adio now works perfect, and the internal memory gets scanned for pics/images. I'm going to keep running it though as this wifi bug should be fixed soon.
not to mention we're commenting on it in the more official thread posted up by the author of the rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755690&page=111
however just to say it.. so far its running quite well, I found a correlation between wifi and BT causing issues with each other... commented on it in the other main thread after some extensive testing today.

Yes, there definitely is still issues with wifi. The issue seems to be exacerbated when running SetCPU with a profile that underclocks when the screen is turned off. Since I've stopped using SetCPU I havent had a single freeze, although I might have just gotten lucky so far.
SetCPU will not run at startup for me, even with the option checked to start at boot. I had to set Tasker to run it at boot as a workaround.
When phone is in Airplane mode I still am able to recieve text messages.

I would have to second the issue with SetCPU. As soon as I overclocked it and began using the rom I noticed the phone would get hot abnormally fast and would reboot a few times within the first few hours. Not sure what is going on here as it worked fine on the RC.

I believe the thread referenced by you refers to RC3, whereas I am specifically looking for feedback on the newest numerical releases of CM 6 for the incredible.
Update: leaving battery percentage at 91 before bed with system panel running, will see whats eating up the most juice. So far stable n fast with no issues (except LCDs).
I get random reboots and freezes every thirty minutes if so on a fresh wipe of 6.0.3 I tried with setcpu and without but always with the built in hotspot running. Same issue since RC3
LED notifications dont work. LauncherPro Plus FCs on every reboot, other then those things im good with it, great wallpapers , great rom

[Q] Tried Everything - Touchpad Screen Unresponsive (CM9)

Hi
Looked for this issue on the forum and can find instances of it happening occasioinally, but not with the frequency that i have. Symptomns are that the screen will stop responding to input. I.e the screen stays painted but does not respond to my pokes or pros. Flicking the screen on and off for a split second fixes it. I believe its related to software or resource usage -sometimes i can go for ages without issues, however in the last half an hour this has happened around ten times. please help!
I have tried isolating it down to a particular app with no success, and also changed the CPU governance settings, asgin unsuccessfully. I have no such issues in WebOS.
Thanks.
ps running CM9 alpha 2, but had same issue on 0.6
flash the latest nightly.
screen unresponsive281]flash the latest nightly.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the reply. I may consider doing that, guess that with a Android backup I don't have much to lose. Would like to avoid it if possible as not being as widespread they aren't as proven and I've ironed out all other issues in alpha 2 such as wifi etc ...
Thanks
the latest nightly offers quite a few fixes.....
including vibration from sleep and tons of other stuff. not much can go wrong.

There has been loads of improvements in CM9 wifi has been fixed sound distortion when the screen off is fixed many speed fixes we now have themes working
Do a nandroid backup in CWM then copy that to your pc for safety then wipe system partition DO NOT FACTORY RESET OR WIPE DATA or you will lose you data, then flash latest nightly and latest gapps then wipe dalvik cache/cache partition's then in advanced fix permission's and reboot system
Well.... I dip my hat to you guys.
Went ahead and installed the latest nightly - even if it doesn't fix my issue, I was suprised by how polished it felt compared with Alpha 2. Typically with bleeding edge stuff I'd have expected to have more issues, but alls I had to do was reinstall YouTUbe and flash the gapps-fixer zip for my Calender sync, plus I see lots of lovely new settings to play with.
Will report back if the screen hangs again, here's hoping...
Frustratingly this issue has started happening for me again running 31 May nightly - touch screen has become unresponsive half a dozen times in the last ten minutes.
Maybe trying wiping it and doing a brand new flash from the latest nightly. (I know it sucks to reinstall stuff, but maybe there are some leftover codes that is causing trouble.. )
i agree either to wiping data or up your min cpu speed as it might the amount of apps you have installed that auto start/resume when turn on the screen..

Moving to Q&A
I only had that problem once. Rebooted by holding home and power never had it again.
Sent from my YP-GI1 using XDA
Had this issue yesterday for the first time since installing cm9 6(?) months ago.
Tried a nightly build as suggested, but given the rarity in the first place, can't be sure it's fixed
This happens to me all the time across all ROMs I have tested.
This happens in OaT's and turning the screen off/on, fixes it temporarily.
This happens in Butta, but turning the screen off/on does nothing. I have to reboot using power/home.
I have also been unable to find a specific app that causes it, but it does seem to occur more often in graphic intensive games.
I can go for days without it happening, then BAM, it stops responding to touch, from that point forward, no about of reboots or full shutdowns seems to fix it for several hours. I'll reboot and sometimes it'll be immediately, sometimes it will be 3-5 minutes, but it will happen again.
Then a few hours later it'll stop happening and I'm good for a few more days.
Do those of you using CM9 find that screen off/on fixes it, or do you need a full reboot?
I am running the night lies and have to say that the only time I experienced this was with the may nightlies. I have not experienced any issues with the 7/04 nightly.

Interestingly enough I think I found out what causes the screen to stop responding. When the TouchPad is locked in landscape and then I turn it portrait while its still locked, then the screen becomes unresponsive. Does that make sense?
Sent from my Touchpad using xda app-developers app
I take it back. The screen became unresponsive even in landscape mode. There goes my well formed and thoroughly investigated theory.

I've been using Nova Launcher ... I switched back to Trebuchet and it appears to be working normally. Of course I may be spouting this half-cocked like I did before. What launcher are you using?
I run SPB 3D launcher and do not experience any response issues with the latest nightlies. I use my touchpad constantly as a laptop replacement so mine gets a workout every day. To my knowledge, no one was ever able to find any one app that was responsable for this behaviour but it was noted in earlier builds.

I too still have this issue - as per others, fine for days, then it will occur consistently and I keep having to screen off/on and eventually it stops of its own accord. Am sure its a software issue, but someone here says they also had it in WebOS and HP provided a replacement.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20740-screen-unresponsive-in-cm9/
For me as simply flapping the screen on/off fixes it and I've never had the issue within WebOS, it has to be software - this started as soon as I first installled CM9.
Bump - still no fix identified for this by anyone with this issue please?
To anyone still following on, followed nevertells advise and completely started again from scratch and it happened after about twenty mins of using the stock browser. I think i've tried not using that app before so am just going to assume that this is either a software bug or a hardware issue that only manifests itaelf within Android

[Q] Various issues with Cyanogen Mod nightly 10.1

Hello everybody,
I have been waiting a bit until posting this issue to see if future nightly builds of Cyanogenmod solved the problem but to no avail, I already posted on their forums but so far no one has been able to figure out the problem... not that they tried.
I'm using an international Galaxy note (n7000) and these issues have been popping up since last month.
The main problem comes up when using the android keyboard and listening to music at the same time, the phone just seem to struggle a lot, music begins to stutter and usually the phone just becomes unresponsive and I have to force reboot the whole thing. A pain in the neck. Lately the phone just hangs whenever it feels like it and I have to reboot it, it usually happens twice a day.
Sometimes you're able to come back to normal after a few minutes but rarely.
The problem was even worse while using SwiftKey, now I'm back to just using the normal android keyboard but still the issue pops up almost every day. I already did a wipe data/factory reset, no avail.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you in advance.
Post a log. Which ROM where you on before flashing CM.
sounds like a memory leak, try newer versions or trace down the issue. Check which apps consume most and cpu when it occurs.
Check as previous poster said logfiles

CM 10.1.3-N7000 bluetooth issues
Hello,
I'm using CM 10.1.3-N7000 and I really love it, but I'm forced to use another ROM, just because of the carkit compatibility via bluetooth. The sound is extremely bad.
Does anyone know if it's fixed in later versions or earlier versions?
Are there other ROM's, ot based on CM without the bluetooth problem?
I'm really searching since two days now to find a bluetoothfix, but can't find it.
Pairing and so on is no problem at all, it's just the soundquality that is terrible. (it was not the case with my stockROM)
thank you for giving me some advice!
I switched to Omnirom and I think the problem has been solved now.
If I see that the same problem is back as it was with CM, I will come back to that.

Invisiblek's 4.4 12-30-13 Nightly Impression

I can't post this on the Milaq thread (where most of the invisiblek discussion is) so I thought I would post it here to give anyone else a heads up.
The Good:
It's a fairly stable kernel and all my apps run seemingly just fine. I mean I've only been running it about 5 hours but not a single FC. I did have a weird bootup glitch that locked it up right away after install but after that I loaded all the apps just fine. Super exciting to see it so far!
The Bad:
Screen pixelation/tearing from left to right, especailly on grey backgrounds. Something is up with the video driver/gpu voltage. Certain icons like the Settings sprocket will have a few pixels that will flash and other times you'll see lines all the way across the screen. It might be color specific. I was playing Quadropus Rampage and never noticed it but then went back to the home screen or typing an e-mail and it's very much there.
Pandora plays music fine. If you turn off the screen while playing, horrific things happen like ZZZZZZZZZZZZ and then hard lock. I didn't like that station anyway..
The "OK Google" voice command doesn't seem to work though voice typing does. I'm pretty sure this worked on the Milaq build of the same date.
It's a bit slow and CPU is stuck to 1188. There is a bit of a lag switching apps but I don't notice any core functions slow.
The Different:
The home button doesn't wake up the TP. Only the power button.
Can't say anything about battery life quite yet but I'll keep a gander on it. Battery hasn't been a super concern of mine because I plug it in ever night
The Different:
The typical 15 second reset switch mult-button key is more like 3 seconds now. I like this a lot better.
Positive:
--backup and restore work
--it is getting much better.
Negatives:
--Microphone does not work, so I could not use any vioce search or voice dialer/sound recorder.
--Free game "F.S. Xtreme" has black box issue.
--Youtube still has reboot issue.
--TV streams app "syncbak" has similar reboot issue.
My wifi keeps shutting off and won't restart without reboot. Not even sleeping. Other than that it runs nicely.
Switched to milaq's 3.0 kernel.
The CPU is pre-configured to run at much higher 1.5Ghz, yet the 3.0 rom is still able to run very stable.
I am waiting for camera fix to enable video calls.
Since both 3.0/3.4 rom are using the same CWM, it makes 3.0/3.4 rom switch very easy.
Waiting on Flintmans as it is the only non data media rom. Not a big fan of all the repartitioning. For several reasons. Good to see choices still available. God bless the developers for all their time and effort. Wish I could do what they do.

I flashed 3.4 rom (0103) over 3.0, and tried briefly.
--3.4 rom seems running OK, except it runs relatively slower at 1.1Ghz.
--camera is not working on both 3.0/3.4 rom.
--Free game "F.S. Xtreme" seems not compatible with 3.x kernel. It also cannot run on Samsung S3.

Same here. Also double check that the setting took. I swear I unchecked it and it went back or didn't take the first time. Perhaps give it a toggle or two. I also noticed that if wifi turns off, it won't turn back on.
Anyone else having a problem with rebooting from within CM and it just goes to a blank screen?
Dirty flashed to the 1/5 nigthly. Reboot issues seems gone now, or just that a reflash has fixed mine specifically.
Just noticed that there is an official thread over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592909
Hopefully I can post there too!

Negative on the posting. I'm still seeing the bzzzz when the screen shuts off while playing music. Have disabled the mic (I think). Curious that nobody on that thread has reported that quite yet.
I'm very excited to see all of this development on our old TPs! I'm currently running Milaq's latest 3.0 kernel test build. It is running almost perfectly for me! I cannot wait for 3.4 to finish getting smoothed out. I've tried Invisiblek's builds out, and they currently seem a little laggy compared to Milaq's 3.0 test build. Great work all around though! Thanks to Invisiblek, Flintman, Milaq, JCSullins, Dorregary, and all of the others that I haven't mentioned who have contributed so much of their time and skill toward keeping our Touchpads relevant, even competitive with the current crop of tablets on the market!

[Q] Random Reboot after flash.

Since it seems Cyan has halted release of cyan 11 nightlies for the Atrix HD (indicative of what, I'm not sure), I figure it's worth solving this personal issue now; since it will most likely require another factory reset and I'd rather do it now.
Since day one of using custom ROMs, I've had the issue of my phone randomly crashing. Despite previously using only stable cyan releases, making sure to do clean resets (factory, dalvik, formatting system partitions,etc), letting the phone "stabilize" after installing (no clue what this means, but people seem to suggest just letting the phone sit about 10 min after flashing a new ROM, claiming a more stable experience), and even flashing a new kernel, I still see the same issue.
At this point, I've pretty much accepted that more likely than not, I'll have my phone randomly freeze and reset in my hands during basic use, calls, texting, internet use, listening to music, etc. Though clearing the Dalvik cache seems to quell the problem, it soon returns to the familiar behavior a day or two later. Any other basic solutions I might be overlooking? Suggestions, even obvious, very welcome.
CM11 switched to unified builds for the Moto 8960 family . http://www.cmxlog.com/11/moto_msm8960/
You can safely download a zip and dirty flash it over your current CM11 installation. At least that's what I did and I'm having possibly the smoothest experience so far on this phone/CM combo running Sat March 01 nightly.
About your crashes, do you get a phone freeze with signal loss before restarts? Do you always get a restart when the phone crashes?
Did you try enabling 2G only for a while? Do you crash while on WiFi?
You could also try another ROM such as Validus. I find the 4.3 release to be quite stable.
Thank you for the link to the new unified build. I've been busy with approaching midterm that I'd only heard of the new builds but didn't look into it personally.
As for the freezing. It's always been the same behavior: screen and all function buttons suddenly becoming unresponsive with no warning or change in signal (regardless of wifi or data use) remaining frozen for 10 to 30 sec, before returning to the unlocked bootload warning screen and the normal cyan reboot animation and normal lock screen after.
Everytime is has froze it will restart (i suspected a memory issue at one point, but after watching the memory usage long enough to see it randomly freeze but no change in mem, I doubt that it's directly the issue). I have not tried switching to 2g, so it would be worth a try. It will freeze regardless of whether wifi is off or on.
The only real "pattern" I could argue seeing is that it freezes most often during skype calls, while playing music (pandora and play music), and internet using browser; though it might only be because I'm actually paying attention to the phone while it is doing these tasks, I'm sure that it's probably freezing and resetting in my pocket thoughout the day. It will also randomly reset while looking through settings or non-data dependent tasks. Ironically, I've never had it reset on me while I was watching a youtube video. Go figure.

Any ROM, stable, nightly, cyan or other, with still see it start randomly freezing and rebooting an hour to a day after flashing.
-update*
After having switched to 2g signal instead of LTE, I haven't seen anymore randomly rebooting. I'm not sure if this was the issue but it's already been a day which is longest I've seen it remain stable.
1 Week later, back to the same behavior as before. Seems I might just screwed for having a stable modded phone.
