[Q] Sound skipping during playback - BlackIce ROM - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I'm using BlackICE ROM and I came across one, major for me, issue. I mean, sound skipping during unlocking device, turning on the screen, opening maps. It happens randomly. Other roms are fine.
I'm using PowerAmp Beta3. But it happens also with MusicMod, GoogleMusic and many others.
Any sollutions yet? I really want to stick with this rom, cause it's the best so far for me.

The only time I have ever experienced similar issues is when I had the screen-off CPU frequency set too low. Increasing it a little stopped the skipping and made the device fast and snappy on wake / unlocking again.
What kernel and governor do you use, and do you use any scripts like Killersloth etc?

I used LordModUE V8 kernel and interactiveX governor. I used setCPU and set CPU to 1.5 ghz
Too bad, that music skipping was happening with screen-on, during normal use. I mean, reading text msgs, browsing. And it happened randomly. On hydrogenmod i haven't experienced anything like this. only on blackice.

Oops, I just hit thanks instead of quote so make sure you do something nice for someone today
Back to your issue... in that case I'm not sure. It shouldn't be happening with screen on that's for sure. Sometimes a full wipe and reflash of the ROM can fix any problems, so that would be my first suggestion. If that doesn't fix it then maybe try some different kernels... like older versions of LordMod or whatever other kernels are popular for CM7 based ROMs (I'm not really familiar myself as I use Sense based ROMs).
Edit to say you could also try Ondemand governor, I find that has best results

Tried many different governors. But the problem was swill there. But the problem is over since i started using unity rom thanx for help! and for thanks ;p

No problem! Glad you got it sorted

Black screen aka black death

Seems like a lot of people are facing problem waking up the phone resulting in getting black screen and nothing else.
I faced the same problem too that is why I decided to create a new thread specifically on this.
Let's share what caused our phone to go into coma based on our observations so that in time, the root of the problem can be traced.
Based on my observation, when my phone is left idle for some time, say 1-2hrs, it tends to become sluggish and setcpu will stuck at max or min value (Yes! sluggish even when stuck at max value!). Given long enough idle time, it will fail to wake up (e.g. every morning when i wake up after 7-8hrs of idle time).
I was using OpenDesire v4.0.10 and just changed to v4.0.15 to see if it still exist. I have setcpu set on 1075max 245min (ondemand) and 245max 245min (ondemand) when screen off. Also, using task manager.
Please share your observations and phone settings (ROM, versions, setcpu, task manager and others)
have you tried removing setcpu?

Nope, but in OpenDesire thread, people without setcpu experienced the same thing. Do you have such problem?
I noticed using setcpu does make the phone sluggish. when uninstalled problem was solved.

Perhaps, a more tailored topic title will help all readers understand what you're talking about.
However, HAVS kernels is the only common factor and SetCPU is not the cause.
And, my two cents, I don't think this issue deserves a dedicated thread since is specific to a single kernel flavor.

Undervolt is a kernel mod that you install and it lowers the cpu drain by setting it to use lower volt values on each cpu freq. This cause it to stay cooler too.
Look for it in this forum. [Kernel] undervolt

I am suffering from this once per day on Defrost and OD so I suspect its kernal related. I am running the default HAVS kernel at the stock 998 frequency. I uninstalled SetCPU yesterday and had a lock this morning ( Defrost 4.1 ). The notification LED was flashing orange. So SetCPU is not causeing the problem. I have swapped over to SVS so I will report back on how that goes.

That issue is relative to OpenDesire and DeFroST ROMs only, and when they use a particular kernel version (HAVS) on selected CPUs, so I continue to think that it'll be eventually sorted out by the respective developers and/or Kali- and the kernel team; those guys do monitor the ROMs threads so they're already aware of the issue.
And yes, I suffered the issue twice, as I wrote more times in the DeFroST thread. "Pain" (panic?) and "frustration" sound a bit strange to me, when dealing with overclocked, custom, highly tweaked cooked ROMs. If a reboot scares you, head for a stock HTC ROM and you'll be fine.
I was worried I was the only one who had this. Thread title isn't that helpful for people seeking advice on it though. Get this after every reboot for about a minute until everything is back to normal.
Had the sluggish issue when using YouTube after about 20/30 mins, other than that I've had no lags.

I got this on a svs kernal, so its not just restricted to havs. I had 1300 svs installed. With setcpu. Done the same with 1267 svs.
I've also had this issue on SVS kernels, was also having a series of hard resets last night - have rolled back to an earlier version of my favourite ROM flavour for now.
Never experienced anything like that...Although there are times that my Desire's performance would remind me of the bad old Diamond days,where patience was a virtue(well,not a virtue,but a money saving method!throwing your phone to the wall with your full strength after it frustrates you with being slow is known to be a costly process! ).Seems to be some apps running in the background...Maybe if your phone recovers after it without a reboot you can check if any apps use a larger than normal amount of ram.Other than that...Well,god is almighty and people experiencing epiphanies are known to work wonders through the ages!
And something completely off-topic(sorry about that).When using an undervolted rom/kernel you are not able to overclock to values as high as when using a normal-volted(is the word right?I dunno...) rom/kernel,right?I mean,what would happen if someone tried to overclock to 1382MHz(I know,I like the limits) using an undervolted kernel?And finally,how does this all apply to the hardware?Does UV affect the CPU's health like overclocking or something like that?
Thanks a lot!
I've had it on OpenDesire 4.0.10 and 4.0.15 a few times. Stopped happening when I stopped using profiles and defaulted back to to 998/ondemand.
Will try running it on 998/interactive for a while and see what happens.
No lockups after SetCPU to ondemand. OD 4.0.15.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Separate thread IS useful, otherwise replies get lost in ROM threads where the focus is not specifically on this problem.
I too had this issue three times. DeFroST on all occasions, versions 3.x iirc. Never tried the HAVS kernels, just plain default what is shipped with the ROM (SVS @ 12xx Mhz?). Also SetCPU'd it, have not yet bothered to try and turn that off yet. SetCPU keeps it at 995 Mhz max, interactive governor, while switching to powersave while asleep.
Issue happened twice while browsing (possibly with Flash ads on the page by accident) and the power state switching (i.e. turn the device off quickly while running for train, afterwards reading for 2 minutes again, etc). Third time it happened while tethering my internet connection to my laptop.
Hth
I had this problem few times a day when I upgraded OD to .10 and the new ADW on the same day.
Then I restore back the old OD with old ADW, then no problem.

[Q] Does anyone else's A100 slow down

I do not experience this issue. When you flashed the rom, did you do a clean install? Have you formatting the device?
Yup.. I format everything.. I use the touch recovery and just use every option that it provides and wipe everything.. It even does it when there is nothing installed. I usually delete almost all the useless system apps that I don't use like the google music app and all of the ones civato provides... I even change the animation settings to .5 in the developer section.. should I turn them off all together?

This is starting to sound like a hardware issue. Before that is concluded, you could:
- Make sure the governor is not set to "conservative"
- Try a clean install of CM9
If the problem still arises, its most likely a hardware issue.
I'm using the OC kernel and have it to 1500.. I also always leave it on performance.. I figure it would kill my battery life but I don't use it much.. and i tried cm9 also.. too many issues as of right now

It doesn't seem it can be anything else but a hardware issue in that case.
NB. Overclocking to a high frequency can cause instability and bring about that issue (but since you experienced it on the stock rom, its quite likely not to be that).
the overclocking helps to speed it up a tad bit.. for the most part it just lags.. i did a clean install just now
Thought I would jump in. Stock ics would slow down and lag on me, jittery transitions poor performance in games or movies, but it took an hour not a few minutes. However testing the T20 kernel before the release kernel had that exact issue, bogging and lagging within minutes.
His release kernel doesnt do it, and flex extreme as well as my cm9 builds don't, even with T20 kernel. Consider flashing that kernel to see what happens.
Side note...what issues did you have with cm9? And what release? My build 1 has been running for 3 days no reboots stable as can be undervolted and OC when needed. Something to maybe think to try to see if it persists. T20 kernel works fine with it too.

That reminds me...setting a screen off profile with the same min/Max speed can cause issues with that, give Max a notch or two higher. And don't have it change the governor leave it the same. So like interactive screen on Myst nit be conservative screen off, doesn't work that way.

I had the same issue on stock. I noticed there are 2 weather applications installed (version 1 and version 2) immediately after I disabled the old weather application (version 1) this stopped happening. I used the ICS GUI to do the disable.
This might not be the case in custom rom, but is true for stock. Post reply and let me know if this fixed it for you also.

Do you have a micro SD card plugged in? Try reformatting the card with a computer. Worked for me.

I felt the need to add my two cents in this....this has been happening to me for the longest with the flex reaper rom ONLY. I've used stock and ZN's rom and those did not lag after unlock...only flex reaper. I'm currently using flex reaper and still experience it from time to time but doesn't destroy my day at all...
Give the CM9 nightly ROM's a go. No Bluetooth n no HDMI audio, but everything else is fine n damn smooth. Those issues will be fixed though

I installed Flex 100 Reaper with stock and it it seemed to run smooth enough. Then I installed the OC kernal, and started to get lag. I was looking around to find the OC settings, but can't see it anywhere in settings..
Can anyone direct me to where can I adjust the governor/max/min CPU settings?
Sorry for the noob question.

Installed kernel, now buggy sound on video.

Hi guys,
I'm a bit of a noob so please bear with me. I recently rooted my phone (SGH-I747M Telus), I have CWM recovery installed. I was interested in overclocking so I installed this kernel on my stock rooted rom (I installed the "sammy" one). I also cleared the delvik cache, cache, and fixed permissions before rebooting. Now I'm having a weird problem with video playback. I get these bleep like sounds, like you might hear on a spaceship, lol. The normal audio plays in addition to these sounds. Yet, regular audio plays fine (mp3s), same with youtube. So, my question is, why? Is there any way of fixing this? I'd rather not play around the stock ROM. I made a backup before doing anything and recently tried to restore the boot, but I got an invalid md5 check.
-JC
Okay, I was able to fix my problem by flashing the stock at&t kernel... but I would still like to be able to overclock... is there another kernel that I can try or a way to fix the problem with the kernel I already tried? Thanks.
If you still want to try previous kernel your problem might be because of heavy undervolting , kernel creator posted this voltage chart.
You can experiment by increasing voltage and see if that helps.
Or you can just try this faux kernel , its pretty good also, we don't have many kernel choices for Samsung based roms at this early development cycle.

Thanks for the reply... but I was able to fix the problem. It was something wrong with the settings of SetCPU which I installed earlier. I changed it from on demand to performance and now all is well. Now I have a question about battery life. Will overclocking drain battery a lot faster? I imagine it would only make a difference if I was doing CPU intensive things.

Well.. performance setting makes it so that your CPU runs 100% all the time. I don't think that will be battery friendly . Overclock generally uses more power and battery longevity will depend on your usage.
You can try messing with setcpu settings. Try Conservative, then limit minimum speed to 384 and max to your preference. Try your movie again.
Current kernels and setcpu are a bit quirky.
I had the same issues on ktoonsez Sammy. Ended up back at stock AT&T. I've heard it's an issue with many of the kernels but a fix is on the way. Couldn't find a way to get rid of it, but that's not to say it can't be done. Don't have much time to tinker right now.

Its a known issue on ktoonsez kernel. Flash faux's kernel, it has the same features (as well as GPU OC) and doesn't have the audio issue.

[Q] CPU throttleed--why? and..best CPU utilization monitor?

I'm running Albinoman's JB RC3 ROM, and like it a lot. The only significant problem I have is occasional severe sluggishness. When it happens, I'll open IntelliControl and I notice either of two things going on:
1) I'll see that the max CPU speed has been reset to 664000 or something close to that (it's always the same number, but I don't remember exactly what it is...600-something). Once I crank the max limit back up to 1036800, things are good again. What keeps resetting the CPU limit to such a low level, and how do I stop it from doing that???
2) I'll see that the CPU is maxed out at 1036800, but I can't figure out what's chewing up the CPU. What tool can I use to see what process is consuming all the CPU cycles when that happens?
Thanks for the help...
1. I can't tell you why it happens... but I know it is a common problem on the JB ROMs (on the Dinc). There was quite a lot of discussion about it. I know the devs are aware of the issue and were working on it.
2. I don't know of anything that will graph percentage of cpu cycles, or anything exactly like that. But try hooking the phone up to the PC and run ddms (part of the adb tool set) and see what it is doing (or failing to do). While ddms is running in verbose mode it will give you a running output of everything the phone is doing (along with all the errors and warnings).

That's because he's using an older version of Evervolv's qsd8k-common. It was fixed on Oct 10 with Change I3a0fff83: powerHAL: fix the screen off bug. This is one of the reasons I do nightlys, is to get all the new tweaks. This bug won't be fixed in his ROM till he resyncs his source and recompiles. It's triggered by the screen turning off. There's a workaround with Tasker, but since this bug is no longer in my ROM, I quit looking at it.

For #1, a possible fix could be to use this power.qsd8k.so provided by tiny4579:

Replacing this file fixed the issue on Pons's ROM, but it may wreak havoc on Albinoman's, I have no way to know. Make sure you have a good nandroid backup before attempting to use it. Or, just wait for Albinoman to release a newer ROM with the problem fixed in the source.

It should work fine on Albinoman's ROM. powerHAL is a generic jellybean feature and should work on all JB ROM's. You won't need the fix however on either of Pon's ROMs whether AOKP or CM10.
I'm finding the same issue on the 11/08 build. I replaced the file with the one you uploaded, yet no change. Still reverts to 614 when the screen is off.
I'm managing it with both Incredicontrol and Juicedefender, so on wake it returns to 1075, and the SAv2 seems much smoother than interactive for me. If there's a fix in the newer builds I may flash one (if I get the time), but for now I'm really impressed by how well this one is running.

It's supposed to change to 614 on screen off. The bug was that it would stick at 614 even on screen on.
I don't recommend that lib for cm. It's outdated.
Also I don't use sav2 anymore as it doesn't and won't implement project butter. Also interactive can be more aggressive than sav2 as it can jump frequency on touch via boostpulse which sav2 doesn't have.

Oh, well, then I guess I'll give the interactive another try. Maybe just needs to settle in longer. Got so used to ICS, wasn't sure what to expect from JB. Guess it's time I read back a few pages and see what else I've missed.

Yep, just a tad bit off topic.
I haven't had this problem before. Granted, I've never played music off my Inc, but I haven't heard anyone else complain, either. Can you PM a logcat? And it's always preferable to report errors off latest versions (currently 1120).

Try flashing to his newest build. It fixed a few problems for me and is incredibly fast. I had to reflash gapps from goo.im though because play store was force closing. Also, doubletwist is a better music player imo because it has a better interface and has good integration with the lockscreen.

Help! CPU freq stuck running at minimum 384MHz despite the kernel or Rom installed.

Current settings:
Kernel: 3.4.94-QuantumKernel-6/17
Rom: Carbon-kk-nightly-20140617-0002
Freqs range: 384MHz - 1512MHz
Governor: interactiveX
and before this rom and kernel install I was running Liquid smooth and it's kernel, Deathly. I've done several clean flashes of both Roms and just recently did a dirty flash of the QuantumKernel again.
So it's an odd situation, because everything runs great at first. Navigating through settings and everyday apps seem great, the cpu correctly runs at the rate it should. But as soon as I launch Clash of Clans, the phone just drops to 384MHz and everything from then on just crawls. Sometimes it will run fine for 30 seconds or so but then just goes back to 384 on both cores constantly. I've tried installing and using kernel tweaker and overriding some settings. superuser notifications make it seem like there are actual changes being made but then it eventually ignores all tweaks I've made and goes back to running at 384. Had this problem with Liquid smooth last week and posted, no replies. So I found Carbon and a recommended kernel in the designated thread and eventually fell into the same situation. I know there are certain triggers where the GPU overrides the cpu clock speeds, maybe it's something with that since it seems to be triggered from Clash of Clans which is a huge cpu hog. I don't know. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

and before this rom and kernel install I was running Liquid smooth and it's kernel, Deathly. I've done several clean flashes of both Roms and just recently did a dirty flash of the QuantumKernel again.
So it's an odd situation, because everything runs great at first. Navigating through settings and everyday apps seem great, the cpu correctly runs at the rate it should. But as soon as I launch Clash of Clans, the phone just drops to 384MHz and everything from then on just crawls. Sometimes it will run fine for 30 seconds or so but then just goes back to 384 on both cores constantly. I've tried installing and using kernel tweaker and overriding some settings. superuser notifications make it seem like there are actual changes being made but then it eventually ignores all tweaks I've made and goes back to running at 384. Had this problem with Liquid smooth last week and posted, no replies. So I found Carbon and a recommended kernel in the designated thread and eventually fell into the same situation. I know there are certain triggers where the GPU overrides the cpu clock speeds, maybe it's something with that since it seems to be triggered from Clash of Clans which is a huge cpu hog. I don't know. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not so sure why that happens but I would suggest you try KT747. I've been using his kernel for quite some time now and have no issue with CoC.

Thanks for responding! Just flashed this kernel and so far so good. Though I'm confident it'll stay that way. This kernel is amazing! So many options to consider tweaking but then not mess with in fear I'll break my phone. lol But seriously thanks, this is working great!

My pleasure, glad it worked out!
If you wanna make some tweaking, look at the scripts/profiles. There is a nice directory full of premade by users (as well as one from KT himself)!
