Mine behaves in this way (AtrICS-1.0)

During boot the motorola pulsing boot logo

rarely

appears and it flickers always. The phone boots and the lockscreen is showed, and everything flickers like crazy.

Most of the boots the screen is black but is on (screen's led are on). It boots correctly (softkeys are on, new mail sound) but the screen clearly has been turned off (led are now off) until I push the power button twice (the first locks the phone and "turns off" the display, which is already off), the second finally turns on the display and shows the lock screen.

The lock screen here flickers for 1/2 seconds or until i touch the screen to unlock it. then it looks stable, it can flicker sometimes but it stops in 1 sec. Moreover...

I tried to decrease the dpi to 230 and it looks like the frequency and intensity of the flickering decreases, to almost nothing. However...when I set back the default 240 dpi and reboot, the phone keeps flickering and the screen freezes and turns slowly black and becomes unusable (the system isn't crashed since i can lock and unlock with power button). The lock screen is unusable because of the flickering/screen freezes, can't do anything. formatting and putting the rom back fixes it.

So, in my case I can use the phone with almost no flickering setting 230 dpi and never going back :eek: .

I had the screen jitter issue before with the leaked version, and "That ROM" version 1.0. After a while I couldn't even get in to the phone, but I tried the new "AtrICS 1.0" and its working for me. Although it didn't at first...

Initially when I booted the ROM the screen jitters were there, but I stayed patient with it. I rebooted the phone and left it alone. I checked it out 5 min later the screen itters were there but the welcome screen came up. It jittered for a bit, and I ended up rebooting again. The jitters were still there. I pushed the power button for a few seconds to turn off the screen. Then I waited about 5 to 10 seconds and long pressed the power button until it came on, and I could see the welcome screen clearly. I logged into my Google acount and things were suprisingly smooth after that. I opened up the Play store to load ROM Toolbox Pro and realized the connection was slow so I connected wifi. While restoring all my apps and data via Rom Toolbox Pro, the phone randomly rebooted but I haven't seen the screen issue again since initially. I have even rebooted the phone manually trying to see if the screen jitters will reappear but so far so good.

If the battery life is ok. (Which I haven't had enough time to evaluate) I hope it turns into a daily driver. I haven't had time to see just yet but this is the furthest I have gotten with any build of "That Leak". Fingers crossed! Keep up the good work dev's! :good:

I suspect it's a kernel bug..

Maybe this is the same issue...

Below is a link to NVidia's release notes for Linux for Tegra version R15. It has a 3.1 kernel. One of the bugs is:

 [964626] Display corruption observed when entering/resuming from LP0 on Ventana

Probably kernels up to this release have this bug with display corruption after sleep. I assume that's what LP0 is..

The issue is fixed in R16.

I've google the bug id but didn't find anything. Guess it's internal to NVidia.

Have you tried turn phone's screen off and on again? It works flawlessly until you turn off the screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowed87:
Yes I tried. If I manually turn off the screen and turn it back on right away, the screen turns on immediately, showing me the lock screen.

When I wait for the phone to go to sleep automatically (1 min timeout + 1 min off) and I turn it back on with the power button (pressing it once), the screen powers on after 3 seconds.

I am rebooting and testing it many times and trying various circumstances: fresh boot and never sleep, fresh boot and sleep, after 30 min sleep, while a stress test is running (antutu), etc..

In all these cases no flickering. I actually haven't even had any reboot so far, really it looks stable.

If you want me to test or provide you something just tell me.

Hi. I have flashed AtrICS 1.0. Works fine. No reboots all day, screen is stable, a few crashes in some apps but nothing to serious. The problem is with the lapdoc. The screen is distorted and i can see only a small part of the image. I have the int Atrix 4G. The other problem i have is i have to press the power button 2 or 3 times to unlock the phone. Otherwise a very stable rom. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToonShadow:
I confirmed that connecting the Atrix to a lapdock will temporarily solve the graphics issue until a reboot. I decided to run a logcat using the app alogcat. Here are the steps I did

1) Reboot phone in order to regain graphic issue

2) Ran alogcat

3) Turned on and off the screen a couple times to reproduce the issue

4) Connected Atrix to lapdock for the temporary fix

5) Turned on and off the screen a couple times again, this time with the fix

6) Saved the log

Hope the attached log helps us fix this graphic issue. :]

I would look at the log myself, but I am no dev and can't understand a thing about it.

Once we find why connecting the Atrix to the lapdock fixes the graphics issue, maybe we can make a script that runs on every boot to reproduce that fix?

Tried changing DPI to 242 and 230 -> some delay to start shaking, but still there after some Deep Sleeps.

Tried disabling rotation and auto bright control -> no effect.

The HDMI workaround works for me ->

1. reboot;

2. force deep sleep (manually blank screen through power button and wait a little);

3. wake up the phone and use it for a while;

4. screen starts to shake;

5. connect the phone to lapdock and open the lid;

6. close the lid, disconnect from lapdock;

7. screen stops shaking until next reboot;

I can live that way for a while... :)

I'll be looking around trying to figure out a solution for that... and also hoping our devs will fix it... :fingers-crossed:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinkyulee:
Found something interesting..

So I've noticed that the video glitch occurs when I boot while the power is plugged in and it stops when I remove the charger. Everything just performs glitchless when I use the phone without the charger. I didn't really have glitching problems out of that charging environment.

I also realized that the graphic glitch reminds me when my tablet's GPU fan failed and my GPU overheated beyond stability.. I haven't really seen the full glitch till I had to charge my phone this morning. I had little instability at boot yesterday when I flashed the AtrICS1.0 yesterday afternoon while on the charger so with my unclean power OCD I decided to try flashing without the charger last night and I did see some difference.

I wonder if the GPU is too undervolt or too overvolt for stability with the kernel or something of that matter. :confused:

It would make sense since I could see the HDMI port affecting the general power of the device and the fact that I see correlation with the charger.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorno88:
I have a feeling this is a framebuffer issue (sure looks like one to me).

I found the following code in init.olympus.rc (+/-line 520) and i suppose that that's why the HDMI plug works

#if defined(BOARD_OSH)
# OSH properties
[INDENT]setprop sys.SystemMode RM_SM_MOBILE
setprop sys.FbOwner 3
setprop sys.DispOwnerLcd 3

#end if
[/INDENT]

Could someone with screen glitches check if these props are defined in getprop and if the values are correct?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp28688:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorno88:
first of all, do you have the screen problems when running something based on leaked version (AtrICS, someone's build with those libs, ...)? second, to test this you should be running one of these versions to see if that is the problem for graphical issues.

I don't know if it will work but i'm hoping...

to test this you need to have terminal installed on the atrix or have a functioning adb bridge (so usb debugging and adb drivers) then open up an adb shell or terminal and ask for a "getprop" (these props are somewhere at the bottom of the list)

I know that on my epinter CM10 it does not display these props so i'm hoping this is the cause for the screen jumble
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuric:
The problem is related with deep sleep service.

Something goes wrong when the phone wakes up after a deep sleep.

That's why you don't see the problem since, while charger is connected, the system will never go to deep sleep. You can see that by yourself checking CPU states with CPU Spy.

Okay, thanks for the screens, seems not to be the problem... I have found a thread which might be usefull.

https:// groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-porting/xybRJYlVMU0

Seems this could also be our problem. During these searches i've seen we also have 2 framebuffers. Since these buffers do have a dependency on sleep. When looking in /sys/class/graphics/ there is both an fb0 as an fb1 map which both have a powersubmap with wake policies.

Unfortunatly, this is how far my knowledge goes at this point so I don't know how this is handled in surfaceflinger and what happens after wake up or why some users have this problem while other have not...

Once I turn the screen off then back on, the only way to get rid of the graphic issues is to reboot. Then again, if I turn the screen off.
