CM7 Incoming Call Screen Issue - EVO 4G General

I have an EVO, rooted with CM7 final on it. Sometimes when i get an incoming call, i can hear my ringtone and the phone vibrates but the screen stays black, like it doesnt wake up on the incoming call. Kind of hard to answer the phone like that eh? (No im not Canadian, i just figured it would be a great spot for the use of the work "eh").
Anyone have a fix? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Believe that's your kernel
Happens to me.
Press power and power again to get it to wake properly.
I believe the newer tiamat kernels fix this issue. (Don't quote me)

I just flashed to Tiamat_EVO (v.3.3.8). Not sure if that is the one you speak of, but i will post the results of this.

Okay, even though the screen issue did not happen every time, I have noticed improvement. It does not wake up right away and fast, but is showing the answer call screen. Any improvement is good improvement.

I have been having this problem also

any fixes?

Haven't seen the issue yet with Salvage-Mod kernel 2.1

Have not seen on cm7.0.2.1 with Savaged-Zen 2.0.2 either.

Anybody got a fix for this?
This is driving me crazy.

I had the same problem. Thought it was fat chicks calling me and my phone was kindly blocking them. How they got my number I have no idea.
Try changing your minimum frequency to 348. Worked for me
Sent from, sent from...me.

LOLLLL @ phone blocking fat chicks...Lolll
Ok I'll give it that a shot. Are you using interactiveX governor?

Ok yea raising the min frequency definitely solves this problem.

Yeah I've always ran 384 as a minimum on CM7 for that very reason.

I no longer have the issue with Tiamat 4.0.7 -75 mv minimum set to 384.

Agreed min set at 384 has fix that problem for me as well

I have wayyyyy better battery life with Savaged Zen

This happened to me with Tiamat, Savaged-Zen, G0dM0de, and stock kernels.

I've noticed at random times cm7 fails to kick on the back light. If you look carefully you can tell the screen is on but there's no light. I haven't tried running 384min yet

You could always try downloading the galaxy tuner and adjusting the volume through it. You must be rooted though...

I don't use any of the stock ringers anyway, so I just modded the gain of the MP3's I use for ringers before I sent them to the phone. I also use the Voodoo sound app to get the gain up a little on the headphone jack.

I guess we're just more deaf than you are. For fun I listen to death metal for long periods on high volume and shoot shotguns, high powered rifles, etc... My hearing is pretty well screwed.

My mom had this same problem. I found a solution tho. Somehow when she connected her Bluetooth the phone rings through the front speaker instead of the speakerphone speaker so I'm assuming increasing the volume of a ringtone may kill your speaker. Anyway if you disconnect Bluetooth and restart the phone the ringtones worked flawlessly
Mind you she began having the problem after the froyo update but today she said she updater something last night now she has low volume again. Hope this helps somebody

Vibrate on keypress...

Is it just me or does vibrate on keypress go away after a certain amount of words typed? I really like the vibration...and it bothers me when it randomly goes away... any ideas? I am using the stock keyboard ....
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
nope never had that... although i know if u type too fast then it vibrates a few times and just stops until u stop typing and give the phone a break... maybe install an alternative keyboard and check that n see...
with custom keyboards u can decrease the vibrate length which helps decrease those stalls ive had in past...

Ah, yes I think that's exactly what's happening is i'm typing too fast and the vibration can't keep up so it stops until I give it a little break... hm...I was hoping this wouldn't be a normal thing =P

Epic just died.

Just now. I was on xda app and suddenly the screen started having a titty attack (its happened numerous times before on froyo)
i wasnt worried cuz i figured my processor was just being overworked so i downclocked it to 400mhz.
Usually this happens in miren or dolphin. Then it clicked. It MUST BE ALL THE ENERGY BEING USED TO RENDER THE WHITE! cuz i always use my [phone at or near max brightness....
the thing was, i lowered the brightness and it stopped, but then it just shut off....i had to unplug it and plug it back in for the charger to even start charging it again.
So my question...is the screen dying (which means it has been for a while.) or is the processor dying (which means it has been for a while lol)
just wonderin are you using a stock battery or a cheapy from ebay? i had this happen too, and it turned out to be neither the screen or the core. it was only happening when i was using my aftermarket chinese battery.
im using stock battery
maybe its not getting enough juice anymore? i do plug my phone into things alot...lol

I had a screen crap out on me. I had similar symptoms leading up to it. The next thing that happened was the touchscreen became unresponsive unless keyboard was open. Then it stopped altogether. Thank goodness for my insurance because it did die. When I took it to a Repair store they had to open a new one to replace it because it is not a common issue.

How bad is it, I know we can all experience the screen f'ing up just by raising the brightness all the way and go to settings>display>and uncheck power save mode then go to any screen that is white. Its a problem with the super amoled.
But if you have the power save mode thing checked I think ur f'ed

This has happened go me before. But it was because I was trying to flash roms over a custom stock rom and I didn't know. I suggest you Odin back to stock. Leave it for a week or 2.

Similar experience but usually only when under 10-15% battery left and full brightness. The screen just can't draw enough current I guess.

Ohhhh, well that's interesting. Because if you OC or if your phone heats up enough data corrupts and your screen spazzes out. But I wonder if weather could play an affect towards that.

Waiting time for screen on.

I have tried kj4, kka and sheep rom. All have the annoying long wait after pressing power button intil the screen is lit up. Also tried different CPU governors without result. What is the problem here? And can it be solved?
Is it just me, or do others experience this as a prob?

Just to clarify the issue here:
When the phone is on but screen has been off for a while, the time between pushing pwr button and until the screen lights up is about 1 second, it may not sound much but it just enough to make one press the button once again. Not what i am used to on my previous androids from HTC.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Same here. KJ4, stock KKA and sheep KKA. It is annoying indeed...
Probably a user experience thing, you guys who claim to NOT have the issue:
Can you lock the screen and wait for like 10 mins and then on the screen again and time the delay from button press to screen light-up?

Where do you come frome? I mean are u used to Samsung devices or something else?
I am judging this by my 2 previous HTC's whith all kinds of different Roms where I have never seen this.
My thought is that it is on all notes but some people does not see it as a problem but you and me do.

I am having the same issue. Takes 1-2 seconds until the device is fully powered up from standby...
I think I figured out the issue. I disabled weather on the lock screen and now my phone comes straight on. Maybe everyone with the issue can try that and see if it works for them?
Confirmed, getting rid of the weather on the lock screen gets rid of the lag
I'm having the same prob. I'll try removing the weather app and see if that helps.
Great no I cant remember how to remove it. help

This was there even on the s2..
yea, mines also has the same 1-2 sec delay. no weather on lock screen. found it odd, cause i've only had HTC phones so far, and never saw this.
Samsung don't use early_resume in the kernel, that Seems To be more qualcomm Related code.
It's that Code that gives you instant screen resume on the HTC devices et al.
I found this a niggle on the note as well, but have got Used to it,especially compared to amount of work it would take to fix it.

Screen comes on blank

Alot of times when I press my power button, my screen doesn't come all the way on, it would just be a dark screen and the buttons at the bottom light up and once I press the power button again, it turns off but when I try to turn my screen on again, its comes blank again. This happens randomly but alot. Some times I have to sit and keep Turning the screen off and on for 1-2 minutes for it to finally come on and if a call comes thought, I still cant see. I thought it may have been a rom or kernel issue but I've flashed a few different roms and kernels and the issue is still here. Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced.
