Proximity Sensor Problem w/ CM7? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I searched but couldnt find exactly what I'm looking for. When I press the power button or trackpad to wake the phone up in the dark, it wont turn on. Only the soft keys will light. Any advice?

If you have the CPU overclocked that could be the culprit. CM is notorious for not playing nice with any speeds over 1 GHz. Set is at 1017 or whatever is closest to that and it should be fine.

I don't see how this is an issue with the proximity sensor...
However, as per the above poster, CM has issues with overclocking. I experienced the same issue when I first installed CM7 and my options were to disable overclocking or disable the on/off animations (I chose the latter).

With CM7 I noticed the cpu is set @ a range of 245-1400. Use setcpu profile for screen off @ 245-368 and a regular profile 700-1017...you will have less diffulculty wakeing ur device. If you keep it @ the default settings it tries to jump to the highest frequency and uses nothing in between and creates a lag and sometimes even a soft reboot

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
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.

Voltage control settings?

I'm on sfr 1.2 with genocide 1.1 final kernel, what are optimal settings for voltage control for speed, everytime I put it at 1.4 it instantly freezes and I have to pull battery, then when I put it at 1.3 it will be fine foor a little while but if I multitask like using music player the phone freezes and I must pull battery again, what should the speed mhz and voltage be?

First of all, this topic has been touched on before, but I will give you a quick rundown as long as you promise to read the "You are new to XDA post" in the general forums.
Every phone is different, which is why Voltage Control is so awesome. You can "feel" out each phone's "max" and "low" and set it accordingly. If you are just using the first page of VC, set the max to 1400, min to 200 and leave the dropdown menus where they are (mine is on cfq and conservative, but I can switch between the others with no problem). If you keep the min at 100, you almost always have problems.
Also, try doing a completely clean flash. Boot into CWM, wipe everything three times (sometimes I do over-kill and go 4 or 5 if I am feeling froggy or have nothing better to do) and then install ROM, then Kernel.
If this does not help you, then you can only run at 1300. Unless anyone else has any ideas. *shrug* I am still n00b.
Or 1200. Every phone is different. I personally can't go above 1200 without near-daily issues like abnormal freezing, lag, and overheat. But like I said, it's all phone-to-phone. Play with the settings when you're bored and have a recent nandroid backup. Same goes for undervolting, though I don't bother with such. There's much more to potential consequences of undervolting than what you'll read in many of these threads.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Also, music and video tend to push the phone the most. A good way to test if 1300 will work for you is to run YouTube, play music, etc. Always set "apply for now" as well until you know your settings are rock solid. If you select "set on boot" and lockup or freeze you will most likely have to wipe everything and start again. It takes some people days to get Voltage Control just right especially when it comes to undervolting. Test every combination of the apps you use the most.

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.
