About 50% of the time when i wake up my phone and try to drag down the lock screen, the touchscreen doesn't respond. The music widget on the lockscreen also does not respond when i tap it. I have tried restarting and it still does it. At first I thought it was when the wifi was on, but the problem exists either way. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running mdj froyo sense revolution 1.7. Any help would be appreciatied.

Dude I had the same problem with mine running that rom. I would turn screen on and off till touch screen worked. It gradually got worse and worse till it just stopped working. Don't know if its the rom that cuased it or just my device since my touchscreen just gave out and no longer works on windows or android. It's sent off for repair.
i'm also having this same problem with the combo in my sig. very annoying.
Now the problem has spread to winmo too. i have a horrible feeling the touchscreen is going bad as well. what do you have to do to get it back to stock so you can get a replacement?

I have exactly the same problem ! With hd roms too.
For all friends experiencing this issue here is my sum-up:
- HD2 (as I read somewhere) has slightly different resolution than what Android places on the screen (difference in 4 pixels I guess) - but this should not be the issue for normal operation right? Well, maybe yes maybe not.
- My screen went dead completely after using many ROMs but the longest I used was hyperdroid - again I don't think it is build related but hardware related issue.
- I sent back to Tmobile mine and got replacement - but until this one will work we will see...
Solution in USA: I have enrolled myself in extended warranty for $2/mo -- technically it covers the phone for as long as you have it (exclusions are of course liquid and physical damage) but anything else - covered. I even asked what happens if HD2 is discontinued and they said I would get comparable replacement of my choice. Therefore, I am covered.
NOTE: Tired tonight to do any updates - but Im gonna install back HD rom now and move on - push it really hard until it dies again ahahhahaha - cuz guess what? I don care - since im covered now...
it is the power button (AP Board); it gets stock inside. my does it all the time i just played with the botton untill it goes. the AP Board needs to be replace.
Is that a bug of android or is my hd2 defect?
its cuz of the setcpu

This is not the problem we are experiencing. You are experiencing the sleep of death.
What we are experiencing (MYSELF INCLUDED - THOUGH NOT AS OFTEN) is an unresponsive screen when the screen comes on and go to the lock screen, though it wont register the unlock swipe. It takes a good 3-5 seconds for it to become responsive. Not a deal breaker but definitely annoying as hell!
I am having the same issue as the OP and i wish someone can find a way to fix it because it is very annoying.
It's caused by low SD card speed when r/w small block. I used kingstone SD card before, i had the same problem as you. After I switched to Sandisk, the problem is gone. I test the speed of two card, for large block r/w, they had the same speed, but for small block. Sandisk is 20 times faster than kingstone.

thank you my friend. I Change it and all is ok.
Um try waking the screen with other button than the power one that sud help but this is a hardware issue I experience it too and it usually get worse over time so best bet for u is to send it in under your repair or get yrself a replacement but it doesn't have anything to do with specific Rom just is that android puts so much stress on our hardware button because Android heavily relies on the keys through the operating system and the hardware keys ware out and cause this issue so look into this as well but before you send it in revert It back to the stock Rom

No I am pretty sure that it is not a hardware issue. I to have had it, and it is gone the only thing i can relate it to is that i stoped using mdjays kernell,, and started to use hastarin again. well it sure is a longshot but mine works perfekt again.
Do your finger on the sensor and turn it on.
I have the default 16 Gb class 2 card tmobile usa gave me and my hd2 did this on all builds until the new hastarin recently and it stopped it. Has not come back yet. So, while the sd card may have some pull in this issue, the kernel can play a factor too. Try using hastarin's kernel just for a day and see if it works.
ummm ive come up with this

My galaxy S freezes out of the blue, and i can't even turn it off. Sometimes i look to check the time, and noticed the phone is turned off. Both problems are only corrected by taking out the battery, and putting it back in...and then waiting for it to happen again!
Is this a software issue that 2.2 will fix? Should I exchange for a new one, or will all of them have the same problems, if bought from the same place? (Best Buy in Vancouver Canada)
either your battery is not good, or your got a defective phone
the new SGS out of the box works smooth
what is your firmware version?

Thought you meant lag. Mine lags a lot (stock firmware) and sometimes "freezing" seems the word.
But no, that's not it. Perhaps you can try a hard reset and check your sdcard too, something isn't ok.
I'm actually experiencing the same issue. My phone goes black and seems to be happening more in low wireless connection areas. Like in a mall. With the the *# code I get I9000UGJG9.
if you have LAG issues, install the one click lag fix in the development area
problem solved
Its not LAG issues it a complete freeze issue. My phone goes black like standby mode and will not come out of it. The only fix is a battery pull or holding the power button for 6 seconds. The same issue as the op.

take it back, exchange it for a good one
this latest firmware is really good, you should not see anything like that
Allright will do. I figured as much I didn't want to bring it back I already purchased some apps. Guess I'll have to wait for my store to get some.

you do not lose the Apps
once you log back into your Gmail account in your new phone, when you go into Android Market, they will remain in the Download section
those apps are saved in your Gmail account, not in the phone.
that's the cool thing about the android phones
so if you ever switch to say an HTC Android, or a Nokia Android, you can still re-install those apps (assuming they are compatible)
Oh sweet I wasn't aware of that. I sold a couple of the Galaxy S and I'm the only one with this issue as of yet. Hopefully it isn't a common one. I've been trying my best to convert Iphone buyers in most cases when I'm sold out to get this phone I just hope it delievers for my customers and they won't have the same issue as me.

you do know you don't just slide
you have to move the entire picture of the "slide" out of the phone frame for it to unlock
if you say only slide it partially, it will just bounce back and remain locked.
if you have thick fingers it wont work properly
you might be better off using the 3rd party unlock screens, specially the kinds that needs no sliding.
i have that issues nowadays too. randomly "freezes" on the black screen, i can call through my phone (ringing) but there's no notification / vibration or anything or sorts.
the only way is to reboot the phone and it'll randomly happen again after some time >.> and the call that i've just missed isn't showing on the call-log either.
i hope it gets better overtime or i'll just have to reflash!
ps. was fine before i tweaked my cpu settings in sleep mode, you might wanna disable that if you're using it.
Mine has the same problem and by the looks of things a lot of people have this issue. I called customer support and after sometime the rep admitted this and said it will be fixed in next build however I doubt that
Then there are probably lots of diff units out there. The phone shouldn't freeze unless you are using a beta/alpha firmware (pretty unlikely - i've tested more than 10 different firmwares without a freeze), or set the core clock of the cpu to a higher & unstable frequency (OC). people claim that their phone can do 1.2ghz - that's nice, but each chip has a different capability.
So, when i lock my phone, and when i try to wake up to unlock, it is really really slow sometimes (up to 10-15 seconds even)..
Is there any way to prevent this ( to decrease that wake up time ) ?
p.s. My phone wm and android roms, radio and kernel is shown in my signature
Cheers ppl and thanks in advance,
Laynee
The 'smartass' scaling defaults to 245mhz when the screens off.... Disable the smartass, then bump the frequency up when the screens off !
Ok, first of all thanks for swift and fast response..
Second, from your reply, it seems like i have to install setCpu, and do that in it? What freq to put when screen is off? Because last time i got those profiles set up in setCpu ( before i uninstalled it), they didnt work..
And last, will it affect my battery drainage alot ?
p.s. One more question ( i know im annoying ) : I got really slow download speed when downloading from Market.. any cure ?
Huh, nor smartass nor underclocking in standby is respondible for slow wake up (well, maybe for a split second but definitely not the 10-15 seconds OP is talking about).
I haven't found any solution for this yet, but actually once you learn to only lock your phone when you know you won't be needing it the next 30 seconds, your problems are gone. (Unless you're using an old build/kernel, in that case you should just upgrade. New builds only lockup if you unlock shortly after locking.)
Slow market downloads is due to your sd card apparently. Either try with another one, or unmount SD card before starting the download.
i always find using the 'pick up' key wakes the phone in less then 3 secs everytime for me
I'm my experience wake lag is caused by corruption of the SD card. It happens more often when I try to use higher class cards than the stock one. What always fixes it for me is running checkdisk in windows. It usually finds errors and after it fixes them and I reboot I get no wake lag for a while. Errors happen a lot less often for me when I stick to stock sandisk class 2 card. Hope this works for you.

The most you can do is try another microSD card, but the reality is that this is device-dependent. You've just been unlucky to get an HD2 that is slow to wake up.
I know this because I had an HD2 before which took around 5-10 seconds to wake up all the time. After I broke it, my insurance company replaced it.
My new HD2 wakes up instantly almost always.
Well i forgot to mention one thing :
The slow wake up problem is not happening every time i try to unlock phone(its not that much often but when it happends im pissed off).
When it happends, buttons and screen are up, but screen is blank for 7-10 ( not 15 seconds i overreacted )..
So any help now ?

hmmm my screen is only ever delayed by around 3 or 4 seconds e.g. when in the middle of installing software.
Only thing that might help is, as before, trying another microSD card or a different ROM/kernel.
The one I'm on is Mdeejay Clean Sense with hastarin 8.5.1. Try that and see if it's any better. If not, its either your microSD card or just your phone.

Hey guys, would love to get some help.
Flashed 2.08HSPL to my phone a while back with radio 2.15.50.14
Using Transcend 8GB Class 6 Fat32 format with 32kb buffer.
I've tried multiple Android versions (MDJ, PPDSHIFT, DL Desire) and they all often freeze. Either within a day, or literally after I load the ROM for the first time and doesn't seem to be stable. The longest I've ever had a ROM with no freezing is PPD Shifts 2.3.2 V6 Gingerbread series. Then one day it started freezing.
As in freezing, the screen freezes, I can't turn the phone off at all. I leave it hoping it would un freeze, but nothing works. The only way is to take out the battery.
Is there something wrong with HSPL 3? Should I try to reload it? Or fix the radio?
I've upgraded from a class 2 SD card and I thought it works better, but no avail.
Should i stop going SD but go to NAND? Would that stop freezing?
Or is it my phone?
I'm running Stock Windows 6.15
Please, any help would be great. This phone has so much potential but it just freezes.
It sounds like the quite common overheating problem some hd2s have. Mine gets really hot in the bottom part under heavy usage and freezes afterwards. I think it its covered by the warranty though.
I'm having the same problem. Once it gets warm the phone freezes and when I turn on data connection also. Without a sim card in place phone works just fine hmm..
I got the same issue few times.
I am guessing you are heavy user too!
Mine even got reboot automatically when its overheated -.-!

Anyone managed to sort this yet?
Its happening to my hd2 all the time.
If I turn data and GPS on....game over...freezes straight away and sometimes loud buzzing
Noise.
Have to pull battery out to reboot.
I´m sorry if this problem has been solved elsewhere, but i´m not able to find any description of the problem like mine.
The problem is, that my HD2 won´t wake up from "sleep" sometimes, most after about half an hour of sleep. The screen and the keys gets lit up, but the screen stays blank. This has happened to me with diefferent ROMs (i tried Dorimanx, Hyperdroid, Nexus ICS and EVO ICS), but it worked with both Dorimanx and Hyperdroid for some time. First i had the same issue with these roms, but i managed to get them to work. But the problem is: I dont know how.
Now, after running on Hyperdroid for some time (witout any problems) i flashed the NEXUS HD2 ICS ROM from Tytung, and i´m having the same problem again. I did a clean install, tried with task29 and factory reset in the recovery, but nothing worked. Any suggestions?
Sorry for bad English btw :angel:
I thought the bsod was fixed ages ago? .. weird. And since it's an issue JUST with you on EVERY rom, it might be hardware related, I cannot say for sure. Maybe a logcat will help us get something?

+1, this issue was supposed to have been fixed a while ago. I'm also guessing it's some sort of hardware fault.
It seems to be a problem with the sd-card.. or more likely the format or the ext partition. I took it out, and the problem disappeared. But the card cant be broken, since it worked on the previous rom.. any ideas?
[Edit] Now i´ve Formattet and created a 1GB ext4 partition with the ext4 recovery, and reflashed the ROM and the 40a2sdx-a2recovery.zip script. I´ll try just not to put anything on the sd-card, and see if the problem still appears..
Now it happened again, without anything on the sd-card other than the ext4 partiton (and the .zip´s for the rom and the a2sdx script, but that should not change anything?). Am i doing anything wrong with the formatting or the partition, or is the sd-card just broken? I dont know what to do.. Do i have to buy a new micro-sd card? I have a 32gb sandisk class 4 card btw
No ideas? I´m getting a bit frustrated after hours and hours of searching the web and flashing different roms, recoverys and stuff. How can it be a problem with the sd-card, when i have used this one for the last rom, too, which worked just perfect?
Try setting the CPU-s minimum frequency to 384 or higher. If problem still appears, try setting the governor to performance and the max. frequency to for eg. 1036. The second solution will eat your battery but try it. I don't think the answer I gave you is right and I think your problem is due something damaged in your phone inside because my minimum freq. is 96.

Fix for Black Screen of Death
Black Screen of death occurs in many different phones like Htc Hd2, droid, Samsung..(With Android Rom Mainly). It is not caused by hardware, software or battery issues but because of Android Rom and clash of few settings.The screen will be black and the lights will be lit up and screen won't wake up. The only temporary fix is pull the battery. Annoying as hell. But, screen of death continues. My Solution ( it works on HTC Hd2) go to settings> personal> display settings. Deselect automatic brightness(No auto brightness).Screen time out 1 Minutes (No 30 Sec). Animation medium. Apply Settings. Okay.Go to settings again. Settings>system> Wlan (wireless network) > advance settings > wlan sleep policy > select never. Apply settings. Okay. Restart Phone twice to apply settings and test your phone. you screen should not go blank. Optional install android assistant & battery monitor widget that might prevent screen of death in certain cases. Good Luck!

Are you really unable to change the sd-card? Why not get an upgrade? maybe a better class? or a higher storage? (I know you have a 32 GB class 4 sd card, it's really hard to upgrade that, I understand)
If you don't want to, you have to narrow down the problem.
Try a different recovery ( I doubt this has anything to do with it, but you gotta try)
Try a different fs. (other than ext4, give ext3 a shot)
Are they both set to primary and not logical? (I thought it shouldn't work if either is set to logical? perhaps I'm wrong)
What is the fs of your main partition? (Are you sure it's FAT32?)
Try to check for bad sectors.
^I know it's too much, and you can try from the most likely to the least likely. (Sorry, I do not know the order)
Or, you can sit tight and wait for other answers.

Yeah, its much, but i must say i have tried nearly everthing. I tried different recoverys, both ext4 and ext3, both of the fs are set to primary and the main fs is FAT32. I´ll try to check for bad sectors, and if i get the black screen next time i´ll try with another sd-card. Until then, if any of you have any other ideas or suggestions.. But thanks for the try
It happened again-.- No other solutions? am i really the only one suffering from this issue? BTW, anyone know what caused this problem, when you say it was "fixed long time ago"? I realized i have the 3.0.0 recovery, could this be part of the problem? Looks like I´ll have to try another card, but i dont know why that should be the problem, since this one worked for my previous rom...
You can try to upgrade your recovery, since nothing else is working for you. It is worth a shot.
I'm experiencing the same issue since I changed my SD card. I'm running NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2. It was very slow with a class 2 card, but I had no wakeup freezes. After I upgraded to a class 10 card it's much faster, but I also started experiencing those wakeup freezes.
First I changed the cpu frequency range to 128-998, I kept smartassv2 as the governor and I also disabled wifi (someone else suggested keeping it always on as a possible workaround). I haven't had any freezes for almost 24h. I suspect it freezes while trying to turn wifi back on during wake up, but it definitely has something to do with the card, too, because when using the other (slower) card the rom was stable.
I haven't had any issues of this kind with any other rom.

Thank you both I´ll update my recovery, change sd-card and make another clean install. Its a bit weird, but we´ll see
Ok, seems like the sd-card really was the problem. I changed to an 8GB card, and i have not had the issue since. Everything is a bit slow, and some apps need time to load, but that could be because it is a slower card.. i hope. I think i´ll buy an 32gb class 10 card, and hope that it works and is faster Thank you all for the ideas and help. I hope my problem is solved :victory:

By using SystemCleanUp i have disabled all useless autoruns.. my roms are much faster and stable now.
HD2 has too less RAM for not using Task Killers.
Using Task Killers and SystemCleanUp even on my Asus Transformer TF101..
Hi guys,
I just purchased a Galaxy Note 3 a week ago. However, I'm noticing that this phone has a major problem (at least, I consider it a problem). Turning the screen on and off has a bit of a delay.
To show what I mean I made this video in which I use a Desire HD to compare it with.
You can clearly see that the Desire HD turns on and off immediately, however.. the fancy Note 3 has to wake up, make a pot of coffee, read the morning news and then decides to switch on the screen.
Is this just my phone? Do more people experience this? Why does my phone do this?
I don't have a second Note 3 and I'm waiting for somebody to test it with. So I'd like to know how other Note 3 owners experience this.
There are many other things about this phone that really disappoint me, but this is one of the things that annoy me the most.
(p.s. I already tried a factory reset, didn't chance a thing...)
Thanks you for any replies/help.

Something up there mate my phone is on soon as i press the button
my guess is ...
that its "some form of lag" caused by an app ??
have you got Svoice enabled ? /
or otherwise its some "app setting "( eg a launcher/camera )
that power button functions , is also assigned to and causes delay ??
Further have you check Svoice settings ?
it does sometimes cause lag as it waits for second press on "home button "
i disabled it completely /otherwise uncheck in S voice settings.
have you tried to wake phone with home button press,not power button.?( any lag ? )
i use Sview cover to open cover and note 3 wakes up straight away !(use no power button at all )
but if i press power button ,wakes up ....immediately !
same with me pressing home button,wakes up ..immediately.!
(No lag at all .)
(but above then,is my experience in tracking " cuplits/apps " responsible for various lags on my phone
The result is my phone is very, very smooth ,no lags or hiccups....
I have the N9005 ,stock, not rooted .
good luck.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I don't have any launcher apps running. I like to keep things smooth and optimized, so I turn off everything I don't need. No Air Gesture, No Svoice etc.
I've been playing with this the last week, and haven't really been able to find anything.
However, I just wanted to delete some stuff and reset some settings and removed my SD card to be safe. Since I removed the card, it seems the screen reacts a bit faster....
But does that make any sense? Could there be anything that could cause this lag/delay that has to do with the SD card?
My current card is a 16gb class 2. But I can't find any info on why the phone would slow down when a slow SD card is used.... Just doesn't make much sense.
In the meantime I continue testing and trying. Others have said that there might be something wrong with my phone, but when I compare stuff with other Note 3 tests, then it all seems ok. Installing an app takes the same time, opening a heavy app too, starting up is just as fast and even after a full factory reset everything seems to be fine.
Mine has a bit of a delay too...I was wondering if it was only me. With mine it's pretty erratic though - sometimes it takes a full second or so to activate the screen, while other times it comes on almost instantly.
I did notice on many occasions using the home button to wake is quicker, plus it's generally easier to get to one handed.
p.s. do you have the Verizon variant?
Good to read that somebody else noticed this to.
In the mean time I have been testing some more. After disabling almost anything that could have to do with either cpu usage or lockscreen usage, removing the SD card, removing the sim card, deleting many apps and using a very low res image, the phone becomes almost as quick as the Desire HD.
There is still a difference, the Note 3 is still a tiny little bit slower, but it has been improved.
However, if I need to do all this radical stuff to make a 2.3 ghz powerhouse perform the same as a 4 year old 1 ghz calculator.... then this phone is just not worth the money I spent on it.
Very, very dissapointed.
After my testing I applied all my previous settings, apps and such to a phone from my friend. Just like you said (siciliano) there is a noticable delay. An erratic delay, but still noticable. Sometimes it's really quick, other times it's really slow.
My Desire HD has never shown any delay... not even when I'm downloading 5 apps at the same time (which makes it quite slow).
This phone will go on for sale tomorrow. I'm not gonna spent 600 euro on a toy that can't perform the way it should.
p.s. No, it's not a Verizon phone. I bought the phone, without phone-plan or anything. Just the phone itself.
Hi,
I think it's very safe to assume that if you think there's a problem then there likely is. Sometimes you have to turn the question round or switch focus... scratch your head all day about 99 maybes yet you have 1 factor that swings it.
Certainly when it comes to testing leave things out like memory cards or SIMs. Sounds like you have and it's not happy. All might not be lost though. Perhaps the stock firmware didn't load well. Have you tried updating OTA or via Kies or Odin? And was the device bought from a regular vendor?

I just checked mine - same delay. So I restarted it. Now no delay.
@jonty, I got the phone from a well known Dutch re-seller (phonehouse). Unfortunately my results and/or problems seem to be repeatable, which makes me believe that it's not just my phone.
I h aven't used any other ROMs, but I did give it a factory reset (twice in 2 weeks...) and I have swiped the cache. Both did not make a difference.
Even better, right after the reset, the delay is bigger then when I optimize the settings (which means turning pretty much anything and everything off... stripping down the phone via settings).
@Bulbous, how did it take you to get the delay back again. I've tried restarting a few times, but after +/- 5 minutes the delay was the same again.
I just don't understand why a powerhouse like this phone has so much trouble with such a simple thing....
It's like asking Einstein to tell me 1+1=? and then he has to take his calculator out....
If you experience lag like this something is wrong. Note 3 should have no lag at all. I have about 150 user apps adding to the stock apps and have never experienced any lag whatsoever.
If you do, you have fu..ed up your phone somehow..

slight delay like 0.5 sec to 1 sec is ok cos it is normal as the phone required to enter deep sleep. (google to understand it)
any more than that might be faulty software or hardware.
if i were to encounter such problem, i will first remove the sdcard and reboot..if not fixed, then format.. without sdcard inserted, reboot and try again.
if not fixed, then i would send to SC ask them check.
the reason i remove sdcard because the phone might still scanning in the background.
Hi,
Although unfortunate it might just be that the device is defective. Although it's new it can still happen.
But before you go the repair/replace route you should at least consider installing any OS updates if there are any and perform a complete wipe. Then see how it performs before installing any memory cards or other software. Perhaps also install a system info app (afterwards) and make sure the chip, cores and other spec are what they should be as fakes do exist.

try this method maybe will help u http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-note-3-lags-sometimes-slow-here-how-fix.html
Something is wrong it shouldn't be that slow, comment above is useless as it's not an animation.
Flash the latest stock firmware - if that doesn't help I'm clueless to what could cause this.
Its the sd card...I used a class 2 and I had lags..changed to a new class 10 and everything was instantaneous
Teleported from my SM-N9005 from the Enterprise

Can anyone confirm this? This could very well be the problem because I know for a fact my sd card is very old.
I'm gonna buy a new 64GB sd card soon anyway, so I'll make sure it's fast.
I had some delay when turning the screen on/off, but im pretty sure that something was corrected in one of the multiple firmware updates that i have installed because i don't have it any more.

Just out of curiosity, are you rooted? How did you go about updating?
Thanks!
My phone is not rooted, I'm using stock room. I was talking about official Samsung firmware updates. Running version MJ7.
