[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
been meaning to reply regarding mdm04. not sure what the fix was but it might have had unintended consequences. i dont get the rapid flashing on 04 anymore but there are times when the lock screen controls dont even show up. i think this is a normal behavior when you have the music app open and then lock the screen, at least for certain apps, might be different for pandora but it behaves that way for google music. there are other times that it doesnt even show when it should tho, i think. music will still be playing and ill be browsing the internet or responding to a google voice text and leave it on that screen and when i lock the screen and then unlock it later, no controls show up.

i think when this occurs it also creates another problem. when the lock screen controls dont show up, it looses controls to skip songs forward and back using 3rd party controls. i.e. if im streaming music over bluetooth in my car and the lock screen controls are missing, i will not be able to skip tracks of pause/play using the radio controls in the car. same idea if im using headphones with controls on them as well except its not just over bluetooth, plugged into headphone jack, the controls dont work either. i have reverted to mdm03 and this issue does not occur at all so i am inclined to think its the change that was made in 04 build.

I'm using mw04 as well. I don't have the screen flicker. It seems to keep battery pretty good. I use spotify and win amp pro and haven't had any lock screen or any other issue.. I do also have power amp pro.. But it seems to have issues with the eq settings.. Music sounds the best with win amp pro. Apollo seems to fc still .. So I just disable it. Brightness doesn't seem to be an issue with waking the phone up.. I didn't get any graphic streaking and dim screen like in the rc's. I haven't messed with DPS manager. Camera and camcorder does lose focus abit but when it does focus the quality is awesome. Feed back on what you want tested I'll test it. Mw04 so far has been very reliable daily driver. Signal has been decent. I haven't tested battery on WiFi.

Edit.. Tethering doesn't seem to work, USB or wireless. In call volume is kinda low still.. Also while in the call the screen is still sensitive to touch even though the proximity sensor makes the screen go off.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] theviper21:
Using MDM04 and have this weird issue where it locks up when I have it connected to my car dock and I get a call. It starts ringing and I swipe to answer, but then the screen locks and it says phone has to close. It keeps ringing indefinitely after that until I restart the phone. Once I restart the phone, I'm able to make calls again while in the dock and using my bluetooth setup.

Just for reference, I'm using the Verizon iBolt car dock and a Kinivo BTC450. Previously had the last official build from 3/4/2013 with no issues.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] quantumtransfer:
OK so I tinkered with the tether to see what's going on with it. It looks as if every thing configures right except for the reconfigure WiFi ap in the process. I've also tried other programs root/non root to see if it was a local issue.. Those also have the same issue as the built in tether.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I posted a test build for what will eventually become mdm05. Depending on feedback, there may or may not be subsequent test builds. Your feedback related to the listed changes is appreciated.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
downloaded and installed. will report back my findings later. 1 question, when did the camera focus get fixed? the ring doesn't go green but it actually focus for me now. major plus thank you for the hard work you and the other CM devs put into this. ^_^

EDIT:

Never mind. i see that this was built with the older kernel 3.0.8. I still like it though. thanks again.

Edit2:

Switching from LTE and 3g is seamless now. Used to have to toggle radio because it wouldn't connect. Now it just works
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Question: We switched over to the new kernel because of the takedown request correct? And those files that were supposedly infringed on were related to the camera, correct?

Will project nemesis and CMs new camera app change any of this? Can we go back to the old kernel and start nightlies again since we wouldn't need those files from dxo labs?

Obviously I have no idea what I'm talking about, so mainly I'm wondering: will the new camera app help us in any way?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
the take down had to do with proprietary software for auto focus for 3.0 kernel source. CMs new camera app is still the AOSP camera source with a UI tweak and new features. For our phone to be on the 3.4 kernel with a fully working camera, we would need an official release from HTC
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
OK, so important stuff: I just received an MMS message from an iPhone 5 user successfully on mdm5Test1. Can I get confirmation from other users that this long standing issue is resolved?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] quantumtransfer:
Just finished DL.. Will test in the morning.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
IPhone 5 mms works on mdm5 test for me.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
Ditto, iPhone5 MMS working for me as well. Both sending and receiving.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I didn't read about any regressions in mdm05Test1, so I'm renaming the file to mdm05 and calling it a recommended release. For those of you already using mdm05Test1, there's no need to re-install this.

mdm05: Download

Move to new HTCCDMAQualcommRIL class (gerrit) - I would like to hear how this affects non-Verizon users

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] scottyb96:
Group MMS from iPhone5 is working well for me also. Very exciting
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Slick1123:
I noticed that I was roaming for quite a while (15-30 minutes) after booting mdm05. I switched from NV to RUIM/SIM temporarily, at which the 4G came alive for a moment, but that may have merely aggravated the situation. I switched back to NV, rebooted, and let the phone sit for a good 20 minutes through a couple connection bounces. Then the 4G seemed to settle down.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Why did you switch to NV? Switch to RUIM/SIM and restart the phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Any reason why you reverted the flicker fix? It worked great before on my phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
It's funny I actually had the flickering on mdm04 but didn't say anything cause nobody seemed to but so far nothing on 5

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Mine only happens with Pandora. :/ not a real breaker.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Slick1123:
It had always been NV (as far as I can remember, I never changed it). NV on mdm05 seemed to lose all signal for about a minute at a time every once in a while (I noticed this evening as I was driving with Waze open). mdm04 sometimes took a little while to get 4G signal, but once it did, it didn't completely lose signal.

I'll try a full boot with RUIM/SIM on Monday and see how that performs.

(Quick Update: I have rebooted twice, and each time the Cell Subscription reverted to NV. I'm forcing it to RUIM/SIM to see how the phone will perform with that setting...)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] scottyb96:
That happened to me(with a much earlier build). I toggled it back and forth a couple of times, closing settings in between toggles, and then it held on RUIM/SIM after reboot.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
With the music widget flicker fix in place, sometimes the widget fails to appear at all. I suspect these occurrences coincide with times that the widget would otherwise be flickering. I reverted it since it wasn't a complete fix and didn't offer much tangible benefit.

I'm surprised by this since you said you connect with 4G. Does your phone move between 3G and 4G networks often? In any case, if you can get the data connection stable on either NV or RUIM/SIM, then I wouldn't fuss with the setting too much. It's been my experience that changing between NV and RUIM/SIM often causes the radio to go belly-up so that a Post 2 restore is necessary. The new CDMA RIL class is still a work in progress, hopefully we can refine it a bit further in the coming weeks.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Slick1123:
Indeed, even reverting to mdm04 did not fix my radio woes. Sounds like it is time for a Post 2 restore, my first...

UPDATE: Booted into stock ROM after Factory Reset from HBOOT. Still seeing roaming symbol! I let it sit for a little while, but no change. Here's hoping an RUU fixes it...

UPDATE 2: Once I did the Factory Reset from inside the stock ROM (Step 2 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031877), sanity is restored. Whew!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
Has anyone with screen flicker tried to go into Developer Options and check Disable HW Overlays? Ive read that it seems some phones with 3.4 kernels are helped by doing this. I'd try it but don't have a flickering screen.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Already tried it, plus other suggestions I found while googling. I doubted the answer would be so simple, or would be found using google, but I had to give it a shot :p HW Overlays doesn't stick after reboot anyway. At this point, I'm assuming we're just gonna have to wait for a JB release which will probably take forever. Even so, mdm releases are pretty solid and appreciated.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I found a completely useless workaround for this issue: never let the display go to sleep. In all seriousness though, it was a moderately important finding because it narrows the search down to kernel functions that are active during sleep.

In other news, progress on cm-10.2 is coming along nicely. If this screen issue ever gets fixed, we'll be ready for all that Android 4.3 has to offer.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Actually, I found changing this in the build.prop:

debug.composition.type=dny

To

debug.composition.type=gpu

And adding

debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=2

Reboot and turn auto birghtness on yields minimal to no flicker on 3.4 kernels

This is no way a fix but more like a band aid.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Gonna try it tonight and report back.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] natemup:
I can't tell if it's one of the memory glitches in the OP FAQ, but in file explorer, I'm seeing two folders within "storage", one named "sdcard0" and the other "sdcard1". It seemed like data was being split between the two, with most of my regular SD stuff in the first one. I've started getting homescreen redraws every return, my keyboard keeps disappearing, and anytime I leave an app it closes. I assumed this was a memory issue, and indeed, when trying to take pictures, I get a low memory error, and in the settings area, it shows me having two internal memories and both are low. Titanium Backup shows my "Media" storage as being 5G and nearly full, and my 32G sdcard as being totally unused.

How can I fix this?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
Dude, this phone has internal storage and external storage reason for storage and storage one.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
Can we expect to see mdm-releases for CM 10.2, based on Kernel v. 3.0.x? I don't care much for the new kernel, which seems to have some display issues and what not. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
This smells like an ETA request. :rolleyes:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
It's not even close to that... Since mdmower said that the CM 10.2 was coming along nicely, I wanted to know if he is only going to focus on the 3.4 kernel or whether it is technically feasible (and hence possible support) with the old kernel... Depending on that I can set my expectations, that's all!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
he did back peddle on the latest build of cm so im hoping the trend keeps up

:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
The screenshot he posted on Google+ was with 3.4 but only time will tell!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
I just wanted to say that I recently clean installed the latest nightly with the 3.4 kernel and the phone runs smooth. I noticed there's less memory being used by the system and more free which is a good thing. I'm lucky enough to not have screen flicker but just wanted to check in so you had feedback on that front. I don't see a lot of difference in battery life between the builds either. Cheers to mdmower for all the hard work he does making this phone usable.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Thanks for the feedback. I don't hear much about nightlies, and cannot run them myself, so if you (or others) would like to supplement the known-issues list, feel free to report problems. As always, I ask that issues be reproducible in a clean-install environment though. Logcat and dmesg also appreciated.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] spectre559:
I clean-Installed the Official 8/4 nightly build yesterday and would like to report on the known issues listed in the OP:

1. Display flicker: NO. My display does not seem to have this issue. Ran Netflix movies for 2 hours or so to verify. For future reference, is there any way to identify which displays are affected by the flicker issue?

2. Screen-on delay: MAYBE? After pressing power, the backlight comes on immediately, and the display is on in just under a second. Does not seem excessive, but perhaps a little longer than the mdm builds. Not sure what amount of delay is considered excessive. Also am not sure if delay is related only to screens that exhibit flickering.

3. High-pitched noise in video: NO. Does not seem to happen in a couple 20 second long test videos I made. Do I need to record longer to verify?

4. Touch to focus does not work: NO. It seems to be working fine on mine. The bezel rotates then locks on green. Photos are clear. Normal auto-focus seems good as well.

5. Flash crashes camera: YES. Similar to previous posts, app seems to crash for a second, then a blank white photo with blue halo appears in the gallery.

6. SIM card added message: YES. Pressed back button per workaround. Message has not reappeared.

Please let me know if you want me to look into any of these and what you will need.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
Clean install of 8/4

1. Display flicker: Still present. using the work around seems to help it.

2. Screen-on delay: No delay, goes from on to off fast.

3. High-pitched noise in video: no longer present in the latest build.

4. Touch to focus does not work: Still doesnt work. Even though the ring goes green, it cant focus clearly on text or anything close up.

5. Flash crashes camera: Nope, flash works and camera picture comes out great.

6. SIM card added message: Haven't seen this in a while.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
For the nightly builds, can you guys confirm the screen on delay while playing music as well? This was a reason I couldn't use them. There was a definite pause to music when screen was turned on. To test, start a music track, with headphones cause never tested without, turn off screen and allow time for lock screen to activate if setting is used. Once time has passed hit lock button while music is playing and listen for pause in music, it's very apparent. I don't have time to test which is why I'm asking others right now. Thanks if you can report back.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
I tried it multiple times differing screen off times with Google play music playing music and did not hear a pause. Hope that helps.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] spectre559:
Correct - camera does not focus to close objects. I did not try close-up photos in my test.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Wonder why my camera, on same build, is producing white background with blue dot when using flash. Slightly different hardware?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Hmmm, a few unexpected results.

The flicker appears after the screen has been off for a couple hours and is turned on. It is most noticeable on mid-grays (in my opinion). I usually look at the google search box on the home page for indication of flickering. If your screen definitely does not flicker, I would appreciate getting a dmesg from you.

The delay is noticed when going from off to on. It isn't really that much of an inconvenience, just long enough to make you think, "hmm this is taking ... oh there it is".

Really? The problem was related to ALSA routing to a non-existent line input instead of stereo mic, and I don't know of any commits that went into cm-10.1 which would fix this. Can either of you provide a logcat that includes camcorder recording so I can take a look? It should be noticeable in even the shortest of recordings. Example (replace words "static noise" with "high pitched noise").

Both weird. Gallery completely crashed and made camera unavailable in my previous tests. Perhaps I should re-visit this.

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys. If you notice issues that are not in my "known issues" list, let me know and I will test/add them.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I recently disabled the experimental tunnel audio feature which should have helped this. Not sure if all audio completely remedied (or if DSP works).... so many things to test and fix.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
went back to mdm05 release. the new 3.4 kernel and ril don't play well with my phone. when going from 4g to no reception back to data (3g normaly) i will never go blue unless i toggle radio, when i try to open the browser it says no internet. with the mdm builds it reconnects perfectly.

but i will try again and send some feed back your way once i get time to flash again. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
We haven't merged the new RIL class in use by the mdm-builds into cm-10.1 yet.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
cant wait till you do, i like not having to toggle data to have data. ^_^
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] spectre559:
My audio pauses any time the screen comes on. So far I noticed it happens when the alarm clock starts ringing and when receiving a phone call. In both cases the ringtones start first, then when the screen comes on the audio pauses briefly, then resumes. I will try later with music.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] spectre559:
Waited a couple hours then tried to find flicker. I didn't observe any.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
same panel as mdmower and I

wonder why you dont see it and we do.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
When you run adb devices, what two letters does your serial number start with?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] spectre559:
The first two letters are FA.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
HT
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
I have the same sony panel apparently, no flicker, HT device

Luck would have it, driving into work and this finally happened, a definitive pause every screen on. I'm going to try a few other things and see if I can figure anything out.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Thanks for the follow up. This issue and the data signal dropping and not coming then requiring a toggle off and on back is the main reason I can't run this version.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
My theory about the HT vs. FA revisions being associated with flicker and non-flicker, respectively, is shown incorrect. This is further backed by intervigil and I both having HT revisions and I see flicker whereas he does not.

If only there was a more identifiable difference between kernel logs...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I put my weight behind http://review.cyanogenmod.org/45745 and it should get merged today. If so, I will enable the new RIL class tonight and it will be available in the next nightly. As for the audio skip at screen-on, you can likely use the lpa.decode=false trick on the nightlies as well (application instructions in Post 3). It seems to have negligible impact on battery.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Yup that was my plan. Thanks for the heads up tho on the changes.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SynisterWolf:
now if we can only get the darn camera to focus up close like the 3.08 kernel does, but nonetheless im happy with the progress and the work you and everyone else puts into this little phone. :)

thank you.

Testing the latest nightly 0809 build:

1) No sign of display flicker for me even after the phone sits for awhile.

2) Screen on delay is there. Its definitely noticeable compared to other builds.

3) Static noise is also apparent with videos. Tested it a couple of times.

4) My camera does not focus up close either.

5) The flash does not crash my gallery or anything but the photo comes out a white/bluish color and nothing is visible. Without the flash the photo looks fine.

6) Opening the lock screen with music playing does not pause audio for me. Tested it a couple of times but no skip in sound at all. I did however notice that my lock screen widget is not there while Apollo is playing anymore.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] somerandomname1:
Been running the MDM builds since you've started to release them. Been running the fifth one the whole time. Just yesterday I noticed a very slight flicker and I can only see it on certain colors, and its more noticeable when brightness is turned all the way up. I'm wondering if the official build I ran a while back permanently damaged something. Gonna do a clean install of MDM when I get the chance and report back.

Edit: if anyone else wants to check its very noticeable in the xda app when I click a post and click "more" and the gray background comes up.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
I'm on mdm04 and I tried what you said at highest brightness setting...

I don't see any flickering. But then again I didn't install the 3.4 Kernel ROMs. Staying safe with 3.0.x and its all I ever wanted on a phone! :) hope your phone's issues get sorted out.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Pete02:
After running the nightly 0809 for the day all was fine until I made a call later. First time the call was clear but the second and third times the in call volume got really low and I was told there was an echo on the other end of the call. That could've just been a bad connection tho but either way it sent me back to mdm05.

I've been running mdm05 since release, until yesterday when i tried the latest nightly, but I'm back on it now and when testing for screen flickering on full brightness there's still no sign of it. I hope you didn't damage your phone from prior testing somerandomname1.
