Audio playback causes device to reboot - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At first I thought it was a rom issue, but it happens to be on every 4.2.2 rom I've tried. Then I thought it was a kernel issue - until I tried nitros rom which is blur based 4.1.2.
The problem? I drive a lot, the ability to use apps such as beyond pod, mlb at bat (to listen to my tigers!), tune in radio etc. Is very important to me. If I download a podcast and begin to play it, it's only a matter of time before my phone freezes up and reboots. Same for the other apps I mentioned. Usually it takes less than 5 minutes for my phone to freeze / reboot.
This has happened to me for a while now, and it does seem to get worse on certain roms / nightlies, but virtually across the board, the result is the same. I have tried carbon, liquid smooth, xenon hd, as well as nitros roms.
I am very frustrated at the moment, as I have no real options other than going back to stock, which sucks because I am in love with so many of the features available with the aforementioned custom roms. Any help or feedback would be appreciated!
Edit: meant to post this in help section, I apologize

I've got the same issue, there's some discussion about this at the end of the CM 10.1 thread in the ROMs section. I personally haven't tried the suggested fix, so YMMV.

Have you tried skiralaxs cm10.1 build? I'm currently on the 7/1 build with none of those problems.newest builds for all have a Bluetooth bug. Make sure you wipe everything including data.

I am on his newest nightly as we speak, it seems to be better, I have only had 1 occurrence of the phone locking up while listening to a podcast. Unfortunately, I don't think carbon or liquid smooth are based off that version. Thanks for the suggestion, skrilaxs version does seem better in that regard!

Moto does know about this, I am having the same issue, and the latest update (the OTA leaking around here) has that listed as one of the fixes. Does not say specific scenarios, but just "reboot issues mitigated". This will be my first full day running it, and I have alot of driving to do, so i'll know in the next couple hours if Moto happened to fix it.

Will do, have had reboots at least once a day since the JB upgrade, so far since yesterday none.. will update later tonight on how it went, should have at least one by then if its not fixed.
Im just hoping whatever moto did can be used to stabilize the AOSP roms too, because audio playback reboots me on those even more than stock did.
Update: I think Moto did it, I drove 70 miles with music playing the whole time and not one reboot. Very impressed, have never gone that long, cept when the phone was on ics..

Awesome! Hopefully the 4.2.2 roms will benefit soon. The two main culprits for me have been listening to to podcasts (beyondpod) and mlb at bat, but I have also noticed watching videos on YouTube can cause the reboots as well, though it takes a video of a decent length to recreate the problem.
Also, there are times I go an hour without a lockup, but once I get one, they begin to occur more frequently. Just my observations. Maybe I'll try the update, what's the easiest way to flash? I'm assuming I need stock recovery etc?

Yeah need stock recovery, and need a sdcard because stock recovery wont read internal memory
After that, if you need to re install recovery and re root gotta do it with adb and fastboot, because the auto utils dont work right anymore, was going nuts thinking things got patched up until I tried it manually and it worked, lol.

The newest nightly build from Skrilax (http://skrilax.droid-developers.org...om/cm-10.1-20130714-NIGHTLY-xt926-skrilax.zip) upgrades to the .86 kernel and fixes the issue. Before this I downgraded to .84 kernel and that didn't have the bluetooth bug based on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43429334&postcount=1627 by steveo17.

That's too bad... not sure what's going on. I'm having a new problem where the bluetooth will automatically connect to my car hands free profile but not my logitech cigarette lighter bluetooth to aux device. If I go into bluetooth settings and tap to connect, then it works just fine.

It seems to me that there are several issues right now, some may be related but I feel that once one is fixed another pops up. I guess all we can do is test and report what we find.

Bluetooth A2DP seems to have improved with the 7/15 skrilax build (.86 kernel) but I still have cases where it reboots. Appears to be related to the phone trying to mux a second stream. For instance, streaming music to my car's headunit, then start Waze app and when it goes to announce something, phone reboots.
And for me, using N38 (.84 kernel) with the latest nightlies seemed to make the phone laggy.

CM10

Hey I just wanted to know peoples opinions on what is the best CM10 Rom so far. Especially considering the things that dont work like MMS or tethering or Netflix (I dont think any work with it though)
I like it. It's clean and boost free.

Official CM10 nightly
mms aint working yet but should in next official nightly. which should be in a few hours... other than that, official definitely had the most stable release!
NFC also isn't working but hopefully it gets fixed soon including MMS.
You'll probably just want to roll with the officials. Most everything you want has already been or is soon to be merged.
Anyone get WiFi tether to work? It worked for me on CM9
Just a question. Does CM10 have the long press volume feature to skip tracks while the phone is asleep? Love this about synergy

i have used about a day and here are my thought
unlocked bootloader
i have cleaned cache format factory reset before install
after boot i have loaded my app with data not bloatware with toolbox pro
using go launcher no live wall paper and juice defender
rest of app are... well just application and few games.
and here is real pro and cons
Pro
Fast, it does the job, google and now other jb features are works perfectly
unlock bootloader can be easily done thanks you adam.
boot time is faster than what i used to use AOKP milestone 6.1
Con
UNSTABLE, within half a day rebooted like 3~4 times while i was doing something
who know how many times it rebooted while i wasnt looking.. it seems more because from battery status
there are few blank spots. i have no idea what is wrong kernel perhaps?
i am not sure i thought CM is made from AOSP so i thought it should be pretty stable but i guess not.
also i have car blue tooth device with handset free (GROM) it wont connect and my logitech one works perfectly
DATA also not stable it think for battery it tries to turn it off (i think it's from juice defender) but takes about 10~15 seconds before i get the data
if you dont have problem with rebooting at random times, some glitches and no softkey (it's nightly so i cant really say it's bad rom)
this is the ROM.. it's faster than any rom i have tried.. what do you guys think??
maybe i should have tried longer but for me it was too unstable.
does cm10 have any critical bugs??
So, I was curious about a couple things.
First, how do nightlies work? Do you have to go and download a new file every single night and flash it? Or is there something working with the ROM that will flash a new version for you as it comes?
Second, I was curious as to when you guys think that CM10 for the SGSIII will be stable to the point where all major things, data, keys, gallery, camera, MMS, bluetooth, etc, are working reliably? I'm incredibly pleased with the stock experience, but there's always something to be gained from custom ROM's and I'm looking forward to being able to use CM10 I just don't want to miss a big part of my phone.
Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything! I'll throw in my two cents too by saying that I'd recommend the official CM10 based on the fact that MMS seemingly works currently and I'm unsure of how it's doing on the unofficial ROM.

Again, its fully stable. In your "second" part, literally every single thing you listed is fully working and stable. Except soft keys which were actually disabled because they have the same purpose as hard keys and just take up valuable real estate. Yes, nightlies are every night but you can dirty flash if you're lazy. You only really need to flash once a major fix or update has been merged. Just follow the changelogs.
And for you, based on what you reported as not-working, I'd also say you got a bad flash or something. Mine runs almost identical to what stock JB ran on my GNexus. Only better with mods

Hellfire Phoenix V2.3 p999 [cm7.2 /super tweeked] - audio/music stops randomly...

Hi,
Firstly, want to thank the dev for this great rom. I recently switched back from ICS because I couldn't take the lag/wanted a fully functioning operating system.
The main problem I' having with this rom is that when I'm listening to music/audio files they'll stop for no apparent reason. The only thing I can think of is that maybe they're stopping when I go in and out of service. When I either unlock and press play or switch apps and press play they start again with not problems. I've found this to happen in multiple audio player (Poweramp and BeyondPod being the two main ones I use).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.
Thanks very much for your hard work.
btw: the reason I didn't post this in the related dev forum is that I don't as yet have enough posts to do so...so no flaming please).
Nobody is gonna flame you for posting a question on the questions forum.. (unless you didn't search first)
I've had this happen to me as well with different ROM's. I don't believe its ROM specific. My problems were related to some of my notification settings. I also switched from the standard player to UberMusic. It's old but does the job well.

Can't be too careful when it comes to flames.
I thought it might be my notification settings but I've tried pretty much every permutation of those. Can't really bring myself to switch from PowerAmp (paid) and BeyondPod(free) is the best podcast player I've found to date...I might try reinstalling the rom, maybe I didn't wait long enough before using it?

Does the problem exist if you were to use Google Music? If it does, then it's most definitely a problem with the ROM. Try a re-install and if that doesn't clear it up, you might want try out a different ROM to see if it's the ROM or not.

Sadly, or happily as I love PowerAmp, it does occur with Google Music too. Never had this problem on eaglseblood gb (which I mainly used before trying a few ICS roms) but switched as their GB rom is no longer maintained. Will try re-flashing. Hopefully that helps.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Yeah, i just recently discovered this issue too, and it kind of bugs me.
Still haven't found a way around this. Tried reflashing the rom which didn't help. Just tried flashing faux's 49b1 to see if that helps. The dalvik cache is being very slowly rebuilt. The newer kernel (the one included in hellfire 2.3) has a MUCH faster loading time (at least upon first load). Will post if this helps with the sound issue.

Well. I'm still having this problem. I've tried multiple kernels, multiple roms and even completely formatted my phone (all partition including boot sector). No luck. Truly aggravating because aside from this issue, I love this rom. Very smooth/fast and stable. Not sure I can live with this audio problem though as it's incredibly frustrating.
If anyone else has encountered this problem and found a solution, please post. Thanks,
I just dl the old music player apk here see if it helps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.music
Also does it occur both when using headphones and not? I had issue with a set of headphones with a break in the wire, which would make the phone appear as though the headset was unplugged and plugged back in, which stopped playback constantly.
Let me know if this helps any.

Thanks for replying.
I'd wondered if that might be the reason too. I know it gains with different headphones as I've tried four different pairs. I'll have you try it without any and see. I did try disabling the setting for stop playback upon removal of headphones with no success. I'll try without headphones in and see. I'll have to flash the Rom again as I've been trying a few others out.

Sadly, no. I've tried playing music without headphones attached and the same problem occurs. Random stops. I go into whichever application (it happens in everyone single one I've tried) was playing an audio file and it starts up right where it left off when I press play.
It's worse now actually in that it occurs with whatever all roms. So now I'm left wondering if there's a micro fracture in the headphone sensor that only started acting up at the exact time I put Hellfire Phoenix 2.3 on my phone or if, somehow, it corrupted some base setting on the phone that even reformatting it can't get rid of.
Terribly aggravating. Debating taking it in for service but I need to find a Wind factory rom before I can do so. Think I saw one in the forums a few months ago. hopefully the link's still active.

I've reinstalled my phone's stock rom (WIND Mobile).
This seems to have sorted out the issue. I'm going to try reinstalling Hellsfire Phoenix in a few hours if it doesn't happen again (I'm playing music nwo and will continue for a couple hours to make sure).
I'm now wondering if maybe this was some sort of error caused by downgrading from an ICS build (hadn't occured to me previously but that's when I started having this issue and it didn't matter which GB rom I tried after that)? Hopefully this will be the end of these problems and I can enjoy Hellsfire Phoenix as it was great aside from that issue.
I'll post in a couple days if all goes well....or if it doesn't.

Well, sad to say that I still had that problem after trying HFP 2.3 again. So I went back to stock. This time it happened on stock too so I have to assume it's a hardware problem. I guess I just lucked out (well, poor luck in this case) that it went for four hours Friday without halting playback.
Better take it in for warranty service while it's still covered.
At least it seems unlikely that any rom/kernel combo was to blame now.

Praise for TwistedUmbrella 4.04 ROM - New Lease on Life for My Thunderbolt

Regarding Twistedumbrella 4.04 Rom found here:
I've never donated to a developer (shame on me) but I just did for this one. I really want to keep my Thunderbolt going cause I'm off contract and have an unlimited data plan. Like some are reporting, the most recent builds of this ROM gave me a boot loop and I can't run them, but anyone considering trying this rom I encourage you to try the 12/06 edition at the link below. This 12/06 installed for me and ran just fine, and I am SO pleased at the increased speed AND battery life that I perceive I am getting. This ROM is not loaded with the HTC sense overhead, and things seem much snappier all around. I was about to ditch my Thunderbolt because things had slowed to molasses using the original BAMF 4.04 rom, but this one is working great!
Here's the link (copied from the thread linked above)
THANK YOU TWISTEDUMBRELLA
I too would like to join in and say thanks to twisted. His rom is the only thing that is keeping me on the Tbolt. I am one of the few with a model that gets bootloops from the newer versions but 12/06 works great for me.
I'm grateful too...

I too am grateful for the twisted ROM. I also have the boot loops on versions younger than 12/06. I also have the serial number ending in "A". However, my Bolt is working quite well with the 12/06 ROM!

What 4ext recovery version are you using? I'm using rc8 and all his builds boot fine. Hall is using rc5 and doesn't get them either. I'm just curious if the rc9 version of the recovery has a bug that is causing the boot loops.

As mentioned in the Dev section thread, the bootloops coincide with a certain version of hardware of the Tbolt. Specifically, those with a TBolt with a model number ending with an "A" are affected by the bootloops. It doesn't have anything to do with the recovery software.
Bingo. I pulled my battery to check the serial number and yes indeed, mine ends "A." But like is also mentioned above, my 12/06 rom is running VERY well, so I'm completely happy where I am.
But thanks for pointing this out -- that saves me a lot of time from being tempted to play with the recovery software or partitions or anything else.

As mentioned in the Dev section thread, the bootloops coincide with a certain version of hardware of the Tbolt. Specifically, those with a TBolt with a model number ending with an "A" are affected by the bootloops. It doesn't have anything to do with the recovery software.

That still doesn't take away from the fact that the recovery could be causing the problem. It's possible that whatever is different with the hardware could have an affect on the recovery as well.

Good point, nonetheless it seems there may be a work around of restoring just the boot data from a earlier (12/06) version of the rom will make the newer ones work while sacrificing the camera (it stops working).
Update: (don't want to keep adding off-topic posts) The work around worked for me without any problems (camera worked) when going from 12/06 to 12/19. Also the new 12/28 update doesn't bootloop for me.
But for a majority of tbolt usrs if u got a p/n ending with an "A", "B" and you experience any issues i.e. bootloops I caution you to stay away from ics for now until something stable comes out if it ever will. Lol!
For those with p/n "C", "XC" etc happy flashing. Seems these experience random reboots at some point but do not have major issues as the ones above.
Just thot I'd put this out there for those going thro bootloops and its driving them nuts!

I cannot believe anyone actually used the BAMF ICS rom for more than 5 mins. that rom is full of so much wack. Never had any bootloops with any of Twisted builds and ive tried pretty much all of them since day one. TWRP...
a bit of info on this particular bootloop for those not following the thread:
-flashing a previous working boot partition from recovery seems to get you past the loop (e.g. flash new rom, restore boot from 12/06 backup)
-alternatively, the 12/28 version on page 28 of the thread works with no loop on my particular hardware. i think twisted is still working on a final build though, which could potentially return to bootlooping if he hasn't isolated the problem.

HA! I deserved that, vice versa. I know enough to be dangerous to myself most of the time but that's about it. The BAMF rom looked so much prettier I stayed with it but it ended up a nightmare, as you suggest. I'm now almost on my 24th hour of the 12/06 rom and no spontaneous resets at all, MUCH better batter life, MUCH snappier in general, and I am MUCH happier with my thunderbolt! Presumably there's things that need to be improved past 12/06, but I'm not so much of a power user (obviously) even to have found them.

If you liked the bamf leak then try NuSense out. It is a fantastic rom that uses parts from it and a desire hd rom. For a snappier version that is more stable than the aosp rom try unsense.

I've never had boot loops with any of twisted's releases. I did however had the occasional random reboot. I'd go to answer a phone call and this sucker would just reboot on me for no reason.

The only time I heard of that was when people used the leaked radios or the combination radio made from the leak and .19 radio.

Hey guys I have run into a problem I would appreciate any comments on -- I've been all over the internet reading about the failure of Google Maps/Navigation to read street names in Andriod 404 without finding anything that helps me. I already had Ivona voice installed, and I even installed SVOX to see if that what help, but the app refuses to use anything but the standard voice, and it never gives street names, just "turn right, turn left" etc.
I've done all the clear data and cache suggestions and that isn't helping.
Does anyone know if a fix was developed that I can apply using this 12/6 ROM? other than that this rom is working great for me, and I suspect the problem isn't in the rom itself. I'd even gladly download an older version of the MAP apk if I could find it - I don't use the advanced MAP features at all.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Wifi Working at all?
Has anyone gotten any of the WiFi apps to work on this? Barnacle works on Ad-hoc, but I can't seem to get even the Wifi Tether app to work. Thanks guys.

Wireless tether has to be setup using the Google nexus one profile. Routing fix checked and wake lock checked.

Really, I been only getting the random reboots, however I am on the leaked ICS radio.
Maybe I should switch back to the stock .19 radio.... Unless the new HTC ICS radio comes out soon with this update.
Does anyone know where the radio forum went too?

thnx, didnt see the new thread in original development...just checked android development
i can confirm that changing to the dark theme gives 1 hour boost to battery, i think its related to the amoled screen.

I was just surprised when I came across the Xt1080mdev
PACman nightly build and I didnt hear any news about it like the CM11 nightlies. Was never really expecting to much support for the droid maxx so any is appreciated... Thank you PACman devs!
EDIT: and at least they support active display
Bugs found so far... anyone else?
I have had the PacMan ROM installed for the past week since unlocking & rooting my Maxx.
I have found when in a phone call and using speakerphone if you try to switch back to regular handset use it will mute audio and freeze the touchscreen and buttons from working. The phone call stays active but the other person can't hear you though you can hear them. The only remedy was to reset holding down + power.
I have been able to recreate this issue three times now.
Other then that I have only had two crashes where is says something to the effect of, "something failed blame it on split screen"
This has happened twice usually when quickly switching between apps or menus.
HAs anyone had any other issues?
ROM used:
pac_moto_msm8960dt-nightly-20140303
...and while I was typing this I saw there are new nightly builds. :silly:
Still it would be nice to know if anyone has this issue on a later nightly build.

Official CM11 freezing, restarting etc. Heelllp

Don't really know where else to ask this, the cyanogenmod forums are dead and no one replies so I'll try my luck here.
I'm running the unified build of XT926 that is
2014-05-14-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960
bootloader is Unlocked
But since early April late march, I've been having a big problem with the builds crashing, freezing, restarting, notification and navigation bar locking up disappearing and reappearing.
I'm actually to the point where I'm fed up. I know these are nightly builds and I shouldn't really be complaining but damn, everything was working fine before April and cyanogenmod seems to delete old builds now after maybe a week of them being up, so I can't return to a build that's before April.
I've tried completely wiping the phone and re flashing CM11 but no luck.
Any suggestions? I'm just really tempted just to flash stock and be done with it. lol but then my phone would probably be hella slow again with all the crap Verizon throws on it.
Is this just happening to me? Or anyone else on official cm11 having similar or the same problems as well?

This test build from kabaldan has been working great for a few users in the CM11 thread (been running it myself, also):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52626501
It's not a permanent fix, but was made to help determine what was causing the lags and freezes. Keep up with that thread for CM11 progress (same thread that killrythm09 linked to).

Thank you!! Very helpful!
Question, do I flash it over the build I'm running now? Or should I do a fresh install?

The update to Kit Kat actually is pretty darned smooth, either under Dalvik or ART (caution - ART is still "beta" and not all apps work with it, including Xposed framework, CoPilot GPS, and I'm sure other apps as well).
I've been running KK since the soak test was sent to me and it's been running pretty smooth. Sometimes it get's a little laggy but that's after I've left the phone on for a few days and a reboot clears it right up.
There really isn't THAT much bloat on this phone (as opposed to say when I had the Droid X2 or even the Droid RAZR).

I'll have to check it out then. I moved from stock to CM because there was a noticeable lag on jellybean but if kit Kat fixes that then I'm up for trying it out
Thanks!
