All he asked for was charge phone to 100%. Leave it in a state as if you were using it as your daily. Unplug it. Note battery percentage. Go to sleep. Wake up. Note battery percentage again. Then take the amount of time the phone was on for. And post difference between battery level before you went to sleep and after you woke up and the length of time the phone was on for.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Following-up on this, I'm still eager to hear whether other users experience flickering/flashing screen with the bleeding-edge builds. In my experience, it seems to get worse the longer the phone is on. For this reason, I do not recommend running these builds long term; they're still just for testing. The panel is likely being driven slightly out-of-spec... which spec is off is up for debate.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] compnird:
FYI, global roaming doesn't work so well on the nightly 20130610. Never shows a signal even when I do, loses connection just like in the states. Sketchy signal stability and insane power drain, not great for my primary device with need for google translate.

Restored to RC4 with same issues. Restored to bleeding edge and still crap. Attempted restore of stock rooted (ICS) and it stayed at the boot animation forever, never loads. Same when loading stock Rom from a factory reset.

I've stayed in this town before and had great service on stock rooted. Roermond, Netherlands.

Any help on getting this working? Would be happy getting my backup of stock rooted to boot.

Tried to ul screenshot but server being a punk...as requested I have emailed HTC for 3.4 Kernel sc. Anything else to do my part just hmu.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] compnird:
Thanks! I forgot about that trick, that worked but I also fiddled with nightly before I went back to stock and realize that the signal bar doesn't show anything but when I go into the signal settings I see it has a great signal. D/L speeds are fast when I have a signal... I will fiddle with CM again later this week and see if I can get it to work.

Going to venture out tomorrow after work and see if I can get a pre-paid SIM and see if that makes any difference.

[MENTION=4258433]mdmower[/MENTION] - My friend in HTC contacted Dev friend and the only response we got was: "The kernel build team in Taiwan, he said they are still working to update it to JB."
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I cannot seem to get feedback on this topic, so we're going ahead with nightlies (beginning tonight) and I'll just wait for complaints to start rolling-in. Could be that my panel is just a lemon and others don't experience any problems.

This is much more than anyone has heard around here, so thank you for getting the information. I'm very surprised that jellybean is still being worked on. Our device must have had so few sales that putting effort into a software update is a waste of resources. I have been running on the assumption that HTC finished a jellybean update long ago, and that Verizon was holding up the update due to lack of interest in updating apps. It may be that hardware partners simply haven't shared updated component source with HTC.

Can we dirty flash from the last nightly (6-10)?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
its not just your panel. ;) mine does it too. i think the random dimness after lock has something to do with it too. its not quite dim but it feels like it's undervolted. if you turn brightness all the way up and it happens you will see lines spanning the screen will be brighter than the rest. just my 2cents
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
This is exactly how I would describe the dim screen issue. Blues are still really bright when everything else is dim. I'm kinda confused on what to look for regarding other screen issues and didn't notice any problems so I didn't report on anything.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
The 6/22 has helped the flicker but its still visible. Also the screen dimness after lock is happening not as often. IMO
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
I've had other issues with the bleeding edge roms as well but I refrained from posting them because I didn't think they were priority. They were annoying enough that I didn't want to load another edge Rom to do testing at that time and have since stayed on 4/19.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I will update the known issues in the first post if you can provide a sure-fire way to reproduce a problem. A logcat would be useful to work on the problem as well.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Only one I can remember off the top of my head is when updating from build 6/19 to 6/19a, dsp manager broke. I couldn't get it to work at all on any audio nor any other equalizer app for that matter, on the 6/19 build it worked for everything but Google music. But when it did, the sound was not the same as when we were running the previous kernel. I could provide a logcat but it's not an issue that gets reproduced, it just never worked from boot. If you still require a logcat for that issue let me know and I'll try to get one and also the best way to get a logcat on a persistent issue and not one that needs reproduced while running log.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
I've had the dimness but have tried to notice the flickering with no luck. I've been running 6-22 for 2 days now and as a daily it hasn't given me any problems beyond known issues. My screen would struggle to respond to touches on nightlies from time to time but that has improved I feel in the 6 22. Keep up the good work!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
if you have a contrast between a black background and a white img on the foreground you will see it. its not as bad as it was in 6/19 but its there. i think ive gotten use to it by now.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
It is actually possible that some users legitimately don't have this problem. One of our developers has a fireball that I picked up from squeezyb and thinks I'm bonkers because he cannot reproduce it.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

CM has officially started Nightlys again for us. :eek:

https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/ZKzckoq4xYA

download it here. http://get.cm/?device=fireball

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

i accidentally deletes a pgn that would cause it every time for me. I'm going to try my hardest to find it again and i will post it here.

after i try the new nightly. ;)

edit: same panel as us?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
hell yes!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
I flashed nightly 0626

I must confess, I didn't do a clean install. I flashed over RC1, so you can ignore my results if you choose, but I thought it would be better to report them.

I never received "Waiting for network..." or "SIM card added"

1. I noticed some static, if that's what you're referring to, but I wouldn't call it "high pitch background noise"--I mean, I probably wouldn't even notice it enough to care if you didn't report it on here.

2. Touch to focus seems to be okay for the most part, but something is off with colors / brightness

3. Flash doesn't crash my camera application, however all the pictures end up like this: http://tinyurl.com/o2k8twt

4. Confirmed

5. Haven't noticed this

6. The only way I can reproduce this is if I open a picture in gallery that is mostly white. It's so minor I'm not even sure if I'm imagining it or not...

Wake on volume also doesn't seem to work when in deep sleep unless I hit it multiple times.

Panorama frames "bleed" while moving

Thanks for the good work.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I do appreciate that you're willing to provide feedback on all these topics, but the changes between my unofficial RC builds and the new nightlies are so drastic that I can't trust results unless they come from a full wipe.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
1. the noise is still precent in cam recoding but not as bad as it was on the first build with the 3.4 kernel

2. Touch focus says it's working, ie goes green, but it doesn't focus. like if you pick something in the foreground then the background, the foreground is still what its focused on.

3. its daytime and i haven't really tried it out fully yet. (will report back)

4. haven't tested this out fully, still at work but the few i've done worked.

5. haven't seen this yet, although i just clean installed the newest nightly, will have to report back if i do

6. flicker is still there, not as bad as the 6/19 build but i would say the same as the 6/22 build

7. no iphone 5 friends to test this. :/

8. Havent seen this sense the 3.4 kernel was made. i used to get it in the RC4 and RC5 but never on the bleeding edge roms.

hope this helps

s-off

twrp 2.5

cm10.1 6/26 nightly

clean flash always. ^_^
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] chupajr:
Flashed 626 at lunch today, and haven't noticed any flickering yet!

The main annoyance I've encountered so far is that in call volume is pretty low compared to Venom. I could barely hear my wife on the commute home, although it was better when I switched to Bluetooth.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] natemup:
Trying to get this to work (as I don't have my usual setup to be able to follow the steps in post #2), but it didn't after one try. When you say "let it... set up", do you mean the apps updating, or the network trying to activate? Both occurred for me, and the activation failed (as described in the OP), so I just ignore it. But then I still can't send texts or make calls when I flash back to the latest CM nightly (6/26).

Also, when I change CDMA from NV to RUIM/SIM, the reboot I perform afterward causes it to go back to NV.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Sorry, what I meant was for the network to connect. Make sure it shows 3g or 4g then reboot and flash the new builds. First boot, the signal will say R just wait a bit. No more than 5 min it should use the Sim and connect and will no longer toggle back to nv
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] natemup:
Actually got it working with a permissions fix (thankfully avoided a full wipe). Thanks though!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
-____- didn't try that.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
To all the people experiencing the flickering: its MUCH less noticeable with a dim display. I turned off auto brightness, and lowered it pretty low. Its a terrible solution, but if the flickering bothers you(as much as it did me) it's at least one way to deal with it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
so a quick flash of nightly 6/26 confirmed my previous issues on the new kernel. dsp manager didnt work for any audio. i tried multiple audio apps and on headphone jack and bluetooth sources and couldnt get it to work. also tried different equalizer apps that didnt produce working results.

the other issue i ran across before flashing back was the button on my earbuds didnt work. it functions to play/pause music and answer/hang up calls, but i wasnt able to get this to work on the unofficial 6/19a build and the results were the same on the 6/26 nightly. i can provide a logcat if necessary but the issues are constant and dont require an action to produce them.

both issues occurred after a full wipe and flash of nightly and gapps, and after all apps restored. I didnt try to produce the issue before restoring all previous apps but i did test on the 6/19a build before restoring all apps and the results were the same. i have a feeling the result would be the same on 6/26 nightly before restoring apps but i have no time left to test before having to restore to a preferred build tonight. let me know if i can help any other way with logcats or other testing.

EDIT: also had the dim screen issue occur on the new nightly.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Is there a reason? I know its not a fix, it just makes it less noticeable until a real fix comes around. Is it damaging in any way? If there's no damage, I don't see any harm in it for the time being.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
haven't seen the flicker since, so i think its a good workaround. It can't damage the panel anymore than the flicker would to begin with, if it is what i think that is causing it. this weekend i will be able to take apart the phone and test my idea. Thank you for sharing it. :good:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
this is a known issue right now, see OP.

The new kernel was made from a collective of different sources and not our own. Until we get a full 3.4 kernel from HTC or if a kernel dev can figure it out, the mild flicker might stay. (any build before the 3.4 kernel ie RC5 and lower will not have the flicker)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
That the panel continues to flicker (for even several hours) after reverting to a known-working ROM suggests that the panel could potentially be damaged if driven too long (possibly being fed with wrong current or frequency parameters that may show effects over time rather than instantly). I've written in posts 1 and 3 that users with flickering panels should discontinue use, and unless a user steps up and explains why the rpm regulators and panel code are all peachy and without error, I suggest users heed this advice.

There is no war. I'm just trying to keep this thread on-topic and only about unmodified CyanogenMod. I hold no grudges against you or the moderator, but I also don't sugar-coat.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
i flashed back to Viperrom and ran it all day, to see if the flickers were still there, the flickers were not. i can try to go to RC1 and see if its still there pre ril and pre 3.4 kernel.

idk if it will help you figure out the problem or not.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Since I can reproduce it on my end it is not necessary. I have seen the behavior persist even in recovery (which uses stock kernel).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] times_infinity:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
This should be fixed in the next nightly.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
What's the difference between the unofficial 0628 you posted on goo and the official one from cm? The official one doesn't seem to have fixed the issue.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] scottyb96:
Been running the nightlies since 6/29 release and they have been working well.

No screen flickering or dimness issues.

Battery seems to drain a little quick, but haven't had time to pay much attention to it yet.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] scottyb96:
Still no screen flickering, but did notice the dim screen on wake a couple times today. Also, I did seem to notice slow panel wakeups compared to the past.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] vazersecurity:
Gets annoying, yes?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] times_infinity:
the slow panel wakeups wouldn't bother me if music didn't skip almost every time.

EDIT:

It seems that possibly tunnel audio decoding being enabled is what was causing the audio skips on screen wake.

Commented them out and set lpa.decode back to true, no skip on wake.

EDIT2: nevermind. Still skipping. -_-

Global Roaming...

I am back in the states for a couple weeks but hoping that maybe I can get help with CM 10.1 so that it works properly overseas before I head out again next weekend. I am more or less stuck with stock rooted if I want any kind signal reporting.

Even a 'Local SIM' did not report a signal bar for me in EU but I had signal and connection. That got spendy so I am sticking with the global plan through Verizon and that only seems to work correctly with Stock Rooted, signal bar really is important even if I am pretty sure I have signal. I hated having to switch between multiple TWRP Backups all last week.

Perhaps I can get some direction on where I should post or look for help with this. I seem to be unique in my desire for this functionality on this device. [MENTION=4258433]mdmower[/MENTION] ? Any help?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mongoose0318:
I had no issues on versions up to RC2 when in EU or Canada but on more recent saw the same issues. Perhaps the RIL changed after cm-10.1.0-RC2-fireball.zip?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] compnird:
All the builds including bleeding edge work great in Canada. It's when I get on a GSM/UMTS network that I get no bars no matter what I do... Glad to know I'm not the only one with that issue though,

I've never used the RC2 so I will give that a whirl for sure. Thanks for the tip. Any glaring issues you've seen with RC2? How is camera performance? Seems to be an issue with this phone on a lot of builds. I use it to take photos and video of facilities and equipment as well as the occasional touristy shot so needs to work.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mongoose0318:
Autofocus was worse than in the most recent builds, especially with third party apps. Only other issue is that sometimes data drops but still shows connected (this happens in current builds too) but other than that I am pretty happy with RC2.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cyberkeeper1:
hey guys i just moved to the official CM nightly and the RIL and GPS is working great for me. not to mention the CDMA is working without a SIM card. that means i can move to page plus. so, my effort here is to say that maybe mower can use code from that kernel to incorporate a working RIL system. i did nothing and for once it just worked without anything wrong. i also finally went s-off. :) that made installing roms SO much easier. i was able to do so many more things including bouncing back and forth between superCID and stock CID just by writing it. i really like these builds too. the new nightlies work ok but i needed my GPS so i tried the official and it worked out of the box with no mods, but i like the tweaks and mods of this rom way better.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
Why has the nighties became so unusable? Since this dimming issue I haven't been able to use any of these builds I'm still on a unofficial nightly from I think June 10

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
i'm still on the 4/20 build lol ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] biodiesel.ufo:
Because of the build date, right? :angel:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] compnird:
RC2 Camera is almost unusable. Played with it last night. Can't test the global abilities until next week but I have a TWRP backup to see how it runs.

Just loaded the official Nightly 20130702. Camera doesn't focus at all but radio is so far solid as a rock. Thanks for the tip, I'll ride this one for a bit and see if I can get camera to work. Hopefully mdmower can get an unofficial that resolves some of the issues.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] gfresh4:
This is the only build (RC2) that's stable for me too. It also allows me to listen to Google music without fc closing also.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] vazersecurity:
Disabling Clock Widget causes more.

Disabling Camera Widget (Settings --> Lockscreen --> Clock Widget (checkable)) disables the camera completely. And anything that uses he camera function. Upon opening the camera you get greeted with this lovely window saying "TITLE: Camera Error; BODY: The camera has been disabled because of security policies". Looks like that feature needs work. Unless that's what it is supposed to do, then it is perfect. ;)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Thanks that gave me a clue on pacman Rom camera fix

BTW for gsm users out there, I got rid of the roaming thing on signal bars by deleting Verizon data from the build.prop and deleting also the property that defines nv/ruin from the rail properties under QC opt line
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Tried 7/6 nightly last night with full wipe. Same problems were present for me. Dim screen on wake up. Screen delay on wake up. Music skips when playing with screen wake up. Dsp manager doesn't function to adjust sound, same applies for eq apps from the market.

Didn't notice a flicker issue but I've never seen it before with my phone so I may not be experiencing it. Didn't have the SIM notice like in previous builds.

Didn't have time to test battery drain. And forgot to check camera function sorry. I'm assuming since these are mostly known issues I don't need to provide a logcat, but if there's anything else I can do to help let me know.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Which RC build introduced the force closing Google Music application (among others)? I see RC1 doesn't exhibit the problem and RC5 does. Can anyone save me some time and tell me for certain whether any of RC2, RC3, or RC4 has this problem?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] times_infinity:
I think RC3 to RC5.

Currently still running RC2, and it doesn't have that bug.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Correct. Rc3 to rc5
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Builds based on kernel 3.4 have been disappointing to say the least. About half of users, myself included, eventually see flickering screens. This makes the the ROM unusable and potentially unsafe for the device's hardware. This has significantly hindered progress as I can only test for short periods. I still have a few ideas (one as simple as an audit of proprietary files), but I cannot think of many other fixes to the kernel board files to fix the issue.

In the meantime, I decided to back-track on the quoted text above and attempt to piece together a release based on cm-10.1.0 stable. For those that like to roll their own, feel free to build off the cm-10.1-FbR branches of the following repositories:

android_kernel_htc_msm8960

android_device_htc_msm8960-common

android_device_htc_fireball

android_frameworks_base (or just revert commit 00dc95f from the official repo)

... and use the extract script in the fireball repo while your phone is running any of the cm-10.1-RCx builds to populate the vendor/htc path.

Some notes on builds based off these repos:

After many tedious hours, I think I've narrowed down the application force close issue (e.g. Google Music, ConvertIt!) to a single commit that likely isn't compatible with our older graphics blobs: Remove opaque check in GLRenderer when preparing dirty region.. I'm looking for feedback to hear if it really is fixed.

The RIL is in a hybrid state somewhere between the old RC builds and the new kernel 3.4 builds. More work will go into this. Be aware that data seems to take a little longer to establish when the phone boots, but we hopefully will not encounter the activation screen anymore.

I will try to refine the builds from time to time and label them as cm-10.1.0-mdXX, where XX will increment with each build. You can find releases here: http://goo.im/devs/mdmower/fireball/cyanogenmod/mdm-releases
