Hi all
I'm experiencing issue with phone app. As you know, in call, the screen turns off when the phone detects something on the glass. The Note II is pretty fast to do that. But when you want to open contacts, or record the phone call, or find a mail without hanging up, it takes 3 seconds for the screen to switch on. Really annoying.
Sometimes it works pretty perfect, sometime not. I don't think it is a hardware problem.
3 seconds is pretty short but very long when you are in a hurry.
Is anybody else experiencing this kind of problem ?
I've tried to change the CPU governor and also the CPU idling rules.
=_=_=_ OMEGA 7.3 / redpill or Perseus
I've also flashed the stock kernel XXDLJ2 (seems to be a "little" more responsive)
Maybe I'm missing a tweak in stweaks that could solve this problem (ie: no underclock when calling or more CPU power....)
Thank you for help

Hey there every one. When I am unlocking my phone I notice that it will flash the lock screen and then disappear and then immediately re appear. When you try to lock the phone sometimes it wont lock and the buttons will stay lit and will display the lock screen but the display wont sleep unless it times out.
This happens on all ROM's that I flash except CyanogenMod
I used both of the over clock methods but the results are the same.

Yeah, it sucks. Theres no real way around this but disabling the lock screen helps it from happening less frequently. But then you end up draining the battery & others by the screen coming on easily by trackpad, volume keys, and power button. Its a lose/lose situation really...

I bumped my minimum clock speed to 368 MHz, and I don't have this problem anymore. YMMV

Still happens to me when I try that. It occurs when you press the power button twice in succession.
Hi there,
anything new on this topic? I'm currently experiencing this annoying problem as described.
I've already tried to set the minimum clock to 368 Mhz but the bug still exists. Even setting CPU to standard clock (Max/Min @800) didn't solve the problem.
Is it possible that the reason is located already inside the overclocking kernel?

Generally if you're overclocking and you have lockscreen issues that are not present @ stock speeds, then it sounds to me like the overclock is too much and your system probably isn't stable.
Based on my experience overclocking computers, things can very well appear stable but if you do stress testing (8+ hours straight) things often crop up and show you that it is in fact not stable. This sounds like one of those things. And that's not good. Who knows what other corruption could occur during your use at that speed? I had the same lockscreen issues myself, and once I realized it was due to overclocking too much I ended up solving another issue I had where half of the calls I received were garbled to the person on the other end. No more lockscreen issues or garbled calls since backing off the o/c a bit.
If the issue doesn't happen at stock speeds then maybe it's just the kernel, and hopefully that isn't putting you at risk of any kind of corruption, either.
Keep in mind I really can't be 100% if overclocking will cause corruption on a phone, but based on a lot of time spend overclocking pc's I would have to guess that it can. I'm surprised that this isn't brought up more often on device forums.
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
ROM: Virtuous 1.0.2
Kernel: Virtuous Advanced 2.2.0
I'm having trouble with my screen struggling to turn on when I wake my phone if the cpu speed is anything above stock. If I push the power button once the capacitative buttons light and nothing else happens, if I push it a second time the lights turn off again and I briefy see my lockscreen flicker before my pained eyes
If I do this cycle many times over eventually I'll get lucky, but there's no pattern to the success and it's very frustrating.
The symptoms are similar to this thread: [Q] Phone unlocking screen issues. The method described there to solve the problem was to turn off on/off animations. I don't think this solution applied as I'm not using CM7.
I think the touchscreen input is recieved despite the screen itself having no picture - for example I can unlock my phone by swiping down (stock Sense lockscreen). If I touch the touchscreen in the right place to open the dialer while I've "unlocked" it in this way, when the phone finally wakes after frantic power button pushing, the phone will be in the dialer app.
I think it might be related to Sense as I tried a stock Sense from rmk - [ROM]Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_12.5 0.60.24_26.08.04.16_M and overclocked using both Virtuous Advanced 2.2.0 and Pershoot's Kernel. In both cases I also had wake issues any time I tried to wake when the cpu was clocked above stock speeds (even 900MHz).
Further evidence towards a sense problem is that I don't have any issues when I'm at 1.4GHz when using CM7. I missed the sense apps too much to stay with CM7, however.
I have a workaround using CPU Tuner with a screen off profile of 246-806 Mhz, and I can then overclock freely afterwards. I can live with this but if anyone has an idea why this might be happening then I'd appreciate a solution.
As I've been lurking on XDA for a while but this be my first post, thanks to all you incredible developers who have made it possible for me to customise my phone in these fantastic ways.
Set your screen brightness to something greater than 50%. It's not a fix but a very reasonable workaround .

Wow that worked perfectly! Thanks!
Was that fix well-documented anywhere, out of curiosity? I'd searched these forums quite heavily and didn't see that anywhere. Makes me feel silly that it was such a simple fix - I'd been flashing ROMs all night to get the same bug
The screen off issue is thoroughly discussed in the Virtuous kernel thread. I forget the exact explanation, but its got something to do with the CPU stepping while the screen if off.
The common fix is a SetCPU/CPU Tuner screen off profile, as you seemed to have discovered. But adjusting the governor type in addition to minimum CPU clocking seems to be the common solution used. I think the interactive governor seems to work best to prevent screen wake issues.

Yeah, I read that thread fairly extensively but the solutions there didn't help. I can easily replicate the problem by setting my cpu with the performance governor to anything above stock speed (i.e. the cpu will be at one single speed the entire time, I think?). The over 50% brightness solution works very well (at the expense of more noticeable battery drain)!

I had seen the workaround mentioned on the CyanogenMod forums yesterday: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20943-screen-doesnt-always-turn-on-from-sleep/
Does anyone already install the newly released CM 7.1.0.1 ? in my HTC Wildfire the incoming call is somewhat lagging around 1 sec. I dont know whether is it becoz of my mobile or heavy graphics in CM7. anyone find solution for this lagging problem ?
It's actually far better than in previous versions, which used to lag by about 4-6 seconds. A few things which have helped:
- Keep min CPU frequency at 352MHz
- Keep CPU goverenor at Interactive / Ondemand
- MOST IMPORTANT (From my testings anyway) - If you don't use a cover, this problem doesn't arise (Lag is near zero). The cover blocks the proximity sensor, hence, the screen is turned off initially, and when the cover is removed, it will definitely take some time for the screen to turn on, which gives rise to the lag.
That's useful info. I'll try it.
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
