Delay in Screen Turning on? - Atrix 4G General

Hi Guys,
Are any of you noticing a long delay after you press the power button? I feel like it can be a few seconds from when I press it to when the screen actually turns on. Not only is this incredibly annoying, but it also seems to be affecting phone calls. I am not able to answer/decline before my phone stops ringing in some situations.
Any way around this?
Thanks

u have setcpu ?
edit:
fyi i have setcpu with screenoff profile, but no delay

Or are you using Widget locker or widgetoid?

I just uninstalled widgetlocker... It was installed but not in use. I will see if this helps.

I am seeing the same issue. I am currently on gingerblur beta 5, and am still seeing the delay just like I was on stock. Very annoying.

Yea, still a bit of a delay. My captivate was instant on (as any phone should be)...

no delay here

I am seeing this occasionally and I am using WidgetLocker. Is there a setting I am using worng or is it just an known issue with WL on this phone?

I think WL is the culprit. My screen is MUCH quicker since uninstalling it.

I think he's talking about a delay from the time you push the power button to the time the screen turns on.
I had that happening to me for a couple days and it was really annoying. I did a power-off, then power back on and it seems to be back to normal for the past day. I never used WidgetLocker, so it couldn't be because of that.

I'm using WidgetLocker and fairly heavily modified...and it doesn't have a delay like this.

Never had it... then a couple days ago it started, then I just pulled the battery and its fine again

I noticed no delay initially, but after I installed widgetlocker I noticed a slight delay. I'm using the volume rocker to wake the screen typically.

no WL here, running launcher pro. I do notice an annoying delay. Not terrible, but still annoying

Yeah, sometimes getting a bit of a delay. Sometimes it takes as much as a minute for the screen to turn on (not reacting to button press). But generally, the phone catches itself after that, and everything is ok for a couple of days.
Every now and then, it would restart when this issue appears. Maybe once per week or so. No biggie for me.

apps randomly opening?

Ok, just got my Evo (and loving it), but every once in awhile, when I unlock my phone the camera app starts. And earlier, while swiping, my voice dialer started.
Any Ideas.
very sensitive screen. your touching the icons

I noticed I kept hitting the home button with my hand when I was holding the phone in certain positions.
Yea I hit that button the time

The capacitive buttons have different vibration levels?

I swapped out my Epic for a new one today cuz the screen wobbled and I noticed that on the buttons, the home button causes the biggest vibration but the others only have minor ones.
Does anybody else experience this or is it just mine...
Haven't noticed this, what I *do* notice from time to time is that if the CPU is busy with something, or the software trigger for haptic feedback is having a fly in its soup or change of mood for any reason, I'll occasionally get a longer buzz than normal from time to time. This was *very* prevalent on Evo, but rare on the Epic.
Mm yea but I've tested this out. My back button's vibration is def less strong every time than my home button.
You're totally right... home button buzzes much stronger than the others... didn't notice when I last posted. Nice catch!

On closer observation, it seems to be controlled by the length of time that the vibration motor is run.

Yea thats what I noticed, it just spins longer when you press the home button.
Anybody else experience this?
yep had it happen on mine.
Home key & back key had weak haptic feedback

Random vibration??

The past few weeks I've been noticing that my DHD often vibrates at random times, when it should not do this at all.
It just vibrates (in stby mode), nothing else but I always think I'm getting a call or a text, which is pretty annoying.
Sometimes it vibrates just once, but also sometimes it vibrates 3 times, very fast and hard. Last night it even woke me up...
Anyone having the same issue?

Had this today when I bought it out of standby. Thought I had a text or email or something but there was nothing. Never noticed it happen when in standby though.
This happens regularly on mine too! its frustrating! you think you have a call or a message but you dont! :s
Its probably caused by your signal going from hspa (3.5g) to 3g to gprs

Isn't this called Blackberry syndrome? Imagining your phone vibrating, just so you can check it!
Seriously though, I dont have this on my DHD. It was present on my Hero though. I think its your phone getting lonely because your not using it.
If you press the volume rocker right in the middle it will vibrate 1 time and sometimes it will do 2 quick vibrates following the first one. This is probably not related to your case but it fits under the random vibration for other that might not know about it.
I noted you get a vibration when you signal goes out, and when it comes back again.
it does happen on mine too...
but i think i know the cause... its usually after using the volume buttons when it does it
but after installing CM, it doesnt do it anymore... i think its something to do with stock ROMS (mainly sense)
+1 more for that, i thought i was going mad when i first noticed it, but after reading this im feeling a bit more sane,
stock rom btw
Mine does it too. I'm using Custom Modaco Rom. When I go to unlock the phone it vibrated but not all the time. Never in my pocket though. I thought it was 3g watchdog playing up but other people getting it too so not that. It did it just now reading these posts hope it doesn't get worse.

Mine does it too. Got used to it now though.
Mine does this, but I know when it does it and why.
Usually it's either when unlocking the phone, or pressing the power button to lock it.
The reason why? It's because I have fat hands and accidentally press the volume down button when using the phone, causing it to go into vibration mode (which makes the phone vibrate once to let you know).
It's confusing, but entirely my own fault.
That's kinda diffirent from what I'm having. Mine does this without going into vibration mode or anything elsr for that matter. It just vibrates, even when locked and when the screen's off...
Just noticed that it does indeed have something to do with the volume buttons. Just lock your phone, press down both of the volume buttons, unlock it and then you will feel the 3 vibrations
I've noticed mine vibrates when launcher pro crashes, happens while i'm listening to music and try changing the volume sometimes, every time it happens the next time i unlock the phone launcher pro has to restart.
Although I have noticed it some times vibrates when I try to lock or unlock the phone and accidentally hit the volume buttons, not sure what happens there though.
EDIT: Just been trying to lock and hold one of the volume buttons, I've noticed it locks up for a second or two, so it's most likely something crashing I think.
Really sorry to bump a thead from a few weeks ago - but has anybody had any luck with resolving this?
This is the only thread I could find on the matter, and it's becoming a big annoyance for me. It's NOT when I go into vibration mode or anything, it can be anytime - even when the screen is off.

I just tried this and you're right - the three vibrations. Perhaps it's by design but I can't see why.
Anyway it's nice to know how to do it on purpose; mind you I used to get it all the time with my old cheap case, with my new case it's never done it "by itself". It seemed a bit odd but I assumed the case was "pressing" both volume buttons when on standby from time to time (makes sense).
I've noticed when i'm putting the phone in my pocket (or out), i tend to grab it on the top with the volume buttons. And yes, it does vibrate when i accidentally press them.
Try it yourself.
Regards, clumsy long fingered dude.
Mine used to do this as well. It would be sitting on the desk not touching anything, screen off and it's just idling doing nothing on stock sense rom, then it would just vibrate randomly a few times. It was a bit spooky and it kept doing it randomly :/
It has since stopped doing that, no real reason I can see why, I have flashed LeeDroid but it stopped randomly vibrating before that.
I'm on AR HD and it's still doing it.
I'm not too bothered, but a fix would be nice.
If I keep randomly pressing buttons on the phone, it will make random vibrations. Sometimes one, two or three. I don't have to press the power button, the phone screen can be turned off, and the phone doesn't go into silent/vibration mode either.
I just played about with the volume buttons now and I got a bit of lag on my phone, lasted for about 15 seconds then went away...

Slow to wake up

Have I got a dodgy phone or is this normal?
Pressing the power button to wake the phone up, it takes 1 - 1.5 secs to put the screen on.
Also, when finishing a call and taking it away from my face, it takes 2 secs to put the screen back on so I can finish the call! The other party usually ends the call before me.
Would some of you post your experiences so I know I am(/not) alone?!
(For reference, my Desire switches screen on after <0.5 secs.)
try doing a reset/format.
Mine is pretty slow to wake up as well, maybe 1.5 seconds. I haven't made any calls on it yet though.
Confirmed, take 1-2 s to wake up
Wake up is instant for me. But it does take a second or so after a call. I think that's so it doesn't cut you off by accident.

Mine wakes up instantly...
Wake up is instant for me aswell.
Thanks all.
Interestingly, as I wrote that post I was upgrading through Kies to the KDD(?) firmware (from KDA or something), and since then it seems to be a lot quicker to wake normally.
Maybe it's as simple as the f/w.
On mine when auto brightness is on I get a slight delay, no delay when manually set.

Iv hada bit of a delay, tried turning auto-brightness off, and it's fixed it.
So, a small delay for auto-brightness, just like you
I had this so turned off auto brightness and it sorted it but now I've rebooted and the delay is back again.

I am having the same problem, takes more than a second to wake up, already KDD firmware and turned off auto brightness, still
Well I always thought having a delayed wake up time is better than instantly. Like when the screen is off, it is in standby mode and when you wake it up, it will take about a second or two to wake up. Just like how a computer works. If your screen wakes up instantly, it would mean it is not in standby mode properly.
However for a phone, I would say a second or two is too long. Should be half of a second max.
(Speculation)
Might be widget related - the SGS2 seems to be loading up homescreen widgets before the lockscreen is shown, unlike other (well.. 1) devices that load the widgets only after you unlock the device.
Uhmm.. it's a long shot, but people who have the wake up delay - try removing all your widgets for a bit and testing to see if the delay vanishes.
Other long shot is that the log shows the brightness sensor is checked on wake up regardless of auto brightness set to on or off (at least, there is a log message mentioning it), so it might still be brightness sensor related.
what i wrote made no sense, discard
I removed the Auto Brightness config and it seems to wake instantly...not tested it that thoroughly though.

You bought an SGSII?
I have the same problem and I am using the pattern lock. Maybe it's that?
I find when the phone is plugged into mains it starts instantly, not sure why though

Off topic: Yes, playing around to get going with rom cooking. Looking good so far.
instant for me. Pressing either Home or power button.

How do I disable do not disturb?

Problem:
Phone in my pocket, volume down gets bumped into. The next 3 hours I won't get any notifications. This is incredibly annoying and frustrating.
How in the world can I disable volume down activating do not disturb while the screen is off?
First, the power button has to be bumped first, then the volume down button (various times). Too much bumping.
get a case

The power button does not need to be bumped.
While the phone is sleeping (screen off + short wait), press volume down either once or twice and it will go into do not disturb mode. I can also put on full volume while it's sleeping as well.
Tried what you said. Doesn't happpen to me. Using stock rom.

I restarted the phone and the issue hasn't come back yet. If/when it does I'll post again. Seems to be a weird bug

Issue has just came back. Restarting the phone makes it go away. Seems like we have found a solution! I'll keep a log of how often this happens here.

Which rom are you using? Is Double tap to Wake enabled? Are you using an app to lock the screen? Maybe that app is not locking the screen initially but displaying a black image for a short time before turning the display off.

Stock rom.
Ambient display is disabled.
No App. It did this stock out of the box
RMA would be a better option.
Problem has come back! a week delay this time
I would love an option to disable it on the phone entirely I never use it anyway and it occasionally gets turned on by mistake and I end up missing calls.
Found this in another forum - change DND priority settings to allow calls and messages from anyone. Should fix it!
