Hello,
I'm loving this Cyanogen software but I'm having one weird problem.

When I receive a phone call, instead of the person's name/number appearing on the screen, the screen just stays black. Occasionally, it will finally bring up the caller's name/number after 5+ seconds but sometimes it doesn't bring it up at all.

If I hit the power button, I see the information flash on the screen for a very brief amount of time (less than a second) and then it goes away again.

Any ideas?

 

Not that I know of. I haven't changed any of the processor settings from whatever came stock with the version I have.

(I have the so-called "stable" version)

 

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the messages.

I did try a couple of things to rectify the problem. Two in particular seemed to make a difference, I'm not sure if one of them made a bigger difference over the other.

1. I unloaded Skype. My logic was that Skype is basically an alternative dialer and maybe it was interfering with the standard dialer.

2. Changed my minimum CPU frequency to 384 (from 245). This was on a recommendation from another site.

Anyhow, I'm not sure which one seemed to make the most difference but it appears that the phone has worked well the past few hours.

Novox, I did try your test that you recommended. The phone is now performly perfectly in all the different scenarios (i.e. screen off, screen on, etc). I didn't see your message prior to making the two changes above to know if it would have failed prior to that. My guess is that it would have. However, I don't believe that there was a "dimmed" version of the screen because I know that I've experienced the problem in dark rooms before where I would have seen a 5% lighted screen.
