[Q] Incoming Call Screen Blank - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im having a problem with incoming calls. half the time it works fine, screen pops up...no issues. the other half the phone will ring/vibrate/light will blink but the screen wont pop up.
rooted, currently running CM 7 RC4, but any rom ive loaded does the same thing. any fixes anyone knows of? i also downgraded to CM stable 6.1 and it does the same thing.

is your phone overclocked or underclocked? are you using set cpu and have a screen profile set?

Are you overclocked? If you are, search for "wake issue" to find a solution. Basically, you need to increase the max of your screen off clock speeds until it goes away.

yes overclocked, using setcpu. not using a screen profile set...i will look into that now. also look into the wake issue. thank you.

make sure if you set a screen profile no to set cpu speed to low or you will have the same issue

setCPU problems...need help

Ok i have my g2 currently oc'ed to ondemand 1497 max 245min and my problem is when trying to wake the phone. i press the power button screen flashes and then get a black screeen. i have to press the power button a couple of times in order to get it to wake up. anyone know how to fix this.....phone works fine when i restart and have a normal clock speed but when i overclock it i always get the wake problem.....
That's the risk you take when overclocking! Weird things start to happen the higher you go. Some phones can go higher than others.
I would back off a little to find your sweet spot.
Some people have had problems with the SetCPU widget, do you have that on your homescreen?
Yup... thats pretty normal behavior. I get it once in a while...
ok yea i lowered the max to 1209 n it seems to be working better now....
That's normal and happens to me. Avoid hitting the power button twice in rapid succession and you won't have that problem.
I always had the same behavior until I installed CM6.1 I have not experienced the issue since and I am still overclocked. My guess is that its a problem with the stock ROM.

Hey thanks that worked for me too...now I'm back to 1.4ghz with no problems..

I was having this problem with SetCPU as well on Virtuous v0.7.2 (Sense, 2.6.32.26-cm-virtuous-v1.1 kernel) and I solved it by creating a SetCPU profile for "Screen Off" with the default settings (806400/245760, scaling set to ondemand, priority 50). Works like a charm and I never get any hang ups after turning the screen on!
I also had this problem with virtuios rom,so i installed the pershoot kernal and that fixed my issues with the screen. No more problems since.

[Q] CM6.1 wake issue

So i just swiched from virtouos ROM (sense) to CM6.1 and i am having a problem.
when i first flashed virtouos, sometimes my phone screen wouldnt turn on with
first attempt but after setting profiles on setCPU it was fixed and didnt happen anymore now with CM6.1 i am having a slightly different problem the screen doesnt turn on when i am receiving a call (it rings though) and i have to press the power button couple of times to get the screen on. i have already set some profiles on setCPU ,i am just wondering if there is any fix for it ?
Thanks
Only thing anyone can probably suggest is turning up your min clock speed. What are your profiles set to?
My screen off is 245/368 just to give it that bit extra to guarantee no wakeup issues, not that I had any to begin with, better safe than wanting to throw her up the wall (I get annoyed easy).

Doesn't sound normal... did you make ANY customizations at all? Or did you install CM straight up and just use it like that? Any adjustment to "performance settings" or CPU clocking? What SPL and radio do you have installed?

no i didnt make any customization its just CM6.1 although my max clock speed is at 1497 mhz
setCPU
Screen off max 368
min 245
and profiles for temp and battery as well
the wierd thing is it doesnt happen at all when im just waking the phone up it only happens when its ringing i am thinking its my CPU issue ,i dont think it handles overclocking well ,i couldnt go over 1.1ghz (it would freeze instantly) with virouos that was the main reason i switched im gonna play with with cpu profiles for a while and see if i can get it fixed.
btw i have never flashed any radio so im guessing its the stock one
wow this is very intreasting its actually fine without any setCPU profiles
i had something totally different in my mind.

With my experience I've noticed the phone runs better, and lasts longer on a single charge WITHOUT setCPU profiles. Just my opinion

[Q]How to wake up w/o battery removal?

How to wake up the phone without battery removal? I have Virtuous 1.0.1 ROM with advanced kernel and from time to time I have wake up issue. I would like to avoid removing battery because I have otterbox case on my phone.
Do you know any other way to wake up yhe phone?
Well if you can't wake it up with the button on top it is a problem. Are you overclocked? Try lowering it.

Open the keyboard....lol

wake up
I have seen the same behaviour with the stock htc latest (1.82.whatever).
top switch -- othing
opening kbd -- noting.
only a removal of the battery seems to help.
Of course it hasn't happened in a convenient place e.g. to see if I can still access it or if charging works etc.
If u installed trackpad wakeup, it seems to distort virtuous roms and keep the device from waking up all together.....there are posts about it in the developers forum

Also in some cases this is caused by underclocking with a screen off profile. I actually gave up on virtuous untill that problem gets solved. I havnt tried the latest version though.

There are 2 distinct "screen on" issues with slightly similar symptoms.
One is the "screen wake issue" what is common with Virtuous, and typically caused by certain combinations of overclocking, and screen off profiles.
The screen wake issue is very well discussed in the Virtuous thread, and commonly/easily solved with the proper screen off settings.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967153
But the screen wake issue, as far as I have experienced, manifests with screen sometimes flickering on for a second, and sometimes responding to multiple presses of the power button, or by opening the keyboard. There is a different issue, some have called "SOD" (screen of death) where the phone seems completely dead until you pull the battery and reboot. This seems to be more what you are describing, but I'm not sure. The cause of the SOD has not conclusively been discovered, and there is currently no known surefire solution. But it may be hardware and GPS related, maybe kernel related. Personally, I've experienced this across several custom ROMs (Virtuous, CM7), kernels, as well as stock. The only luck I have had, is that the stock DZ ROM with the Godspeed kernel is the only combination which seems completely free of SODs. One person sent his phone into HTC due to SODs, and they said it was caused by a faulty GPRS module, and fixed it by replacing the mainboard. Another person send this phone in, and it was returned untouched, with the same problem still present.

Why people still do this just boggles my mind. All current kernels drop the processor down when the screen is off. There's no need - at all, for a screen off profile. It creates a wakeup issue as you can tell since SetCPU has to refresh the phones state then switch profiles in order to allow the processor to move into a higher state. That takes a lot of time (in computer time) thus creating this 'bug' that doesn't actually exist. The OC bug however does exist and is present no matter what you do aside from keeping it at 1.1GHz or less.

I had the screen wake issue on Virtuous, with NO screen off profile and OC'ed to 1 GHz. Making a screen off profile, but leaving a wide range for the CPU speed (not underclocking it) and interactive governor solved the issue in my case.
That might work better since most people I've seen tend to use the conservative or powersave gov. in their screen off profile. I'll correct myself too, what I said was from a CM standpoint since I've yet to use Virtuous.
Yeah, the screen wake issue on Virtuous is different from the one on CM7. If I remember properly, on Virtuous, using the advanced kernel results in screen wake issues for everyone or most people, unless you make some SetCPU/CPU Tuner setting adjustments.
Do you have SetCPU, or another program capable of CPU clock control installed? If not, install one of them and bring the max clock down... the Advanced Virtuous kernel boots at 245min/1516max - I noticed this after a fresh install of Virtuous 1.0.1/2 and the Advanced kernel

Completly agree.
I am shocked and appauled that most don't seem to understand that the os and it does not matter which(I.e. android,ios,windows) or platform (I.e. smartphone,tablet,desktop,etc) when you overclock more than just ur cpu speed is changed. If u have any experiance overclocking cpus on your home computer, you know u cannot let your system hibernate because it will not wake up. All operating systems allow the cpu to completly turn of in hibernation until it recieves an electrical pulse from the board. But if ur cpu goes from off to high it pulls way to much electricity and can't process then commands because all the recouces went to waking. If you have sleep parameters set with a narrower range the system will have enough resources left to process ur intial command...when it comes to sleep to wake there are no in between frequencies.

[Q] Unbelievably slow answer screen appearing

Hello folks,
first post, pleasure to be part of the group
Arc LT15i, 2.3.4, doomkernel#11, 4.0.2.A.0.42
more than 10 seconds to wait to be able to answer a call
takes 3-4 sec to light the screen (it's an eternity when you have to answer), and often first appears the unlock screen, then after seconds the sliding green botton.
really sorry for the noobhood, but any ideas?
thanks a lot
Cavin
I updated my phone to latest official firmware and i alos have this lag, but not that much. It takes 2 seconds for the screen to show who is calling and to be able to answer it, and it takes around 0,5 seconds when pressing the unlock button to light up the screen.
same problem when i was using stock rom
but when i moved onto MIUI,the phone is pretty fast and answer screen appears pretty quickly
Which CPU scheduler are you using? I have seen that using smartass or other schedulers which reduce the clockspeed on standby can reduce the responsetime of the answer screen.
setxperia raise the clockspeed on incomming call to make the response a bit better.... ;-)

Thanks guys for answering
You're right! It's due to the clock's settings. May be, i'll come back to the former firmware any hints?
upgrading clock's frequencies works well, but drains battery faster (and this setup requires already a lot of energy ).
using "no lock" app, gains few secs
last night came up with the same good idea of using the incall profile
i noticed that using a too low min clock freq, the device is less reactive, although using "interactive", "smartassv2" or "ondemand". "scary" profile seems to work slightly better on incall reactivity. any experience?
Thanks
Cavin
If you use smartass (v1/v2), there's no need to set any profiles for screen off. The governor will stick to the lowest available frequency.
Smartass v1 used to have wake issues (on HTC Desire, at least), but v2 seems to be fine, I'm using it on the Arc S, I haven't experienced any lags with either stock or CM7 ROMs.
I'm not familiar with Setxperia and its settings, though, could something be set wrong, causing poor performance? Just a guess...
thanks
i noticed some lags with a very low min clock (e.g. 122), disappearing setting min at 8-900mhz (max 1.2ghz)
actually dunno why, but if i succeede in changing the rom discovering what to wipe, gonna tell you more

Wake problems.

My phone sometimes doesn't wake when I try and turn it back on after a while when the screen goes off.
I am running CM7 7.1.
I am using default oc settings. (ONDEMAND, 300-ish min, 1110-ish max, no undervolting as far as I know)
I tried to press the button combo to get fastboot but it doesn't work either. I have to take the batteries out for the phone to restart and then it works again.
What gives?

368 is the lowest you should go and, even then, you might run into wake issues. Additionally, if you have anything like SetCPU installed, be sure you don't have a screen off profile set with too low a speed.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
It seems to be mostly a cpu clocking issue. Raise your minimal clock for screen off profile if you have one and it should work.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I don't think that is the reason.
Back during CM6 6.0 RC1, I had set CPU with 256mhz off screen, and it was perfectly fine back then...

Are you using SetCPU?
If you are (and it's really not needed anymore) make sure your max on the screen off isn't set low as well. You can sometimes get away with a low min but, if you have a 256min/256max, you're basically telling your device to stay at 256 whenever the screen is off and no amount of pushing the power button to wake it will change that.

Not. I uninstalled SetCPU. Using the built in govenor now...
The problem you seem to be having is a bsod or black screen of death.
If you search that term in the forum you will find a few posts about it.
The only thing that i am aware of about the issue is that it is related to the use of your gps.
I have had trouble replicating the issue, it happens very randomly. I sent my phone to bell and they didn't fix it...
Same problem here i think its a cm7 problem

In my case it was a battery issue.
To be sure I tried the experience 3 times: OEM battery for a day, ebay one for an other.
At the end I had a black screen ( sleep of death) every time I turn off the screen on the ebay battery (galilio).
The voltage was alright, it was something else.
running virtuous unity 2.37
I've had problems with the screen-on and screen-off animations causing a black-screen-of-death.
