Has anyone else had "wake lag" on their Atrixes?
What I mean is where the device is sleeping, screen off, in your pocket for a while, etc. Press the power button, count to 3 or 5 or so, then the screen comes on.
It doesn't seem to happen all the time, but when it does it's really annoying.
i jsut noticed that on mine too. its getting really annyoing.
I just noticed this after reading this post... haha now its annoying me! lol mine takes about 2.5 seconds once in a while. Not a deal breaker though
I do see it occassionally.

Some reports attribute this issue to the fingerprint scanner. Do you have this enabled?

I had that until I installed "Launcher Pro" and now I don't have that problem anymore...
i got this annoying lag in incoming calls. the phone ringing but the screen still black
Maybe it has to do something with the update we got. I don't remember it having wake up lag when I had first gotten it.

I don't either, but I don't remember it when I first updated to 1.57 either. Maybe it has something to do with uptime? I haven't rebooted in 5-6 days. Coming from Windows Mobile, I am happy to have a phone that doesn't get "stuck" and need to be rebooted every day but....
I don't know what lag you guys are talking about.. ? I get zero lag whatsoever.
Well i'm noticing it now. The longer the phone is in standby, the longer the sleep time is (up to about 5 seconds)

Yes, that is exactly what I am talking about.
My phone has been in my pocket for almost 2 hours. I pulled it out, pressed the power button, and it took ~2 seconds to get to the lockscreen.
pushed the button again to turn the screen off, pushed it again to turn it back on, it took ~1 second.
I swear when I got home yesterday from work and turned it on it took like 5 seconds.
On a related note, it used to seem take longer to come out of standby when I was using SetCPU and forced it to 200 MHz when the screen was off. I don't use SetCPU anymore, but maybe it's related to CPU scaling. If the phone is in "deep sleep" and the CPU clocks down to its lowest frequency maybe it takes longer to wake up.
yeah i noticed it when i needed to reply to a text that a pressed it didnt come up so i pressed it again nothing and gain then it did. i thought it was my power button. but after a reboot it was doing the same so i figured it was the update we got.
I have this lag, new thing, happened today for the first time. Nothing to do with the update, since I'm on Bell's Atrix (no update yet). I even took off the battery once, as it was not waking up after a good 20 secs...

It has gotten worse for me as the day has gone on.
I think this phone's going back before my 30 days are up. This is just another little thing in a long list of little things that are bugging me. I want to like the phone, I really do, but it's just not doing it for me I guess.
i installed the update for AT&T users and i got to say that there is no wake up lag for me anymore.
just my 2 cents

Nop no lag
never mind the lag is still here.
I completely drained my phone so it shut itself off. When I restarted it after it had charged for a while it seemed a lot snappier. Maybe the phone just isn't made to handle 96 hours of uptime.
Kind of like older Windows PC's lol.
i just factory reseted my phone. lag still there. or maybe becuase its downloading apps. ill see how it goes.

So, I've noticed that after the update the sleep/wake button has been acting up. I've found that sometimes you need to press it twice in order for it to register. Also then, sometimes after it would wake then fall back asleep within seconds of pressing the button. Anybody else experiencing this?
ztm
Yes! I might be able to second this. Thought I was imagining it.
Not yet able to reproduce it on demand.
I can recreate this and it's driving me nuts. But it wasn't due to the update. It's been happening for a few weeks now.
The power button to wake up the phone has been glitchy since the beginning for me. And the fact that the power button doesn't have good feedback when pressed, gives it some ambiguity whether you really pressed it.
I too am suddenly experiencing problems with the power key, everything works normally except now it no longer responds to a quick push to put it into standby. Long push still works. It was working fine after the update, it just happened suddenly.
You can use Keyguard Disabler, and it will allow you to wake the phone from virtually any "hardware" button.
One other issue is that it disables the lock screen completely, which some people feel is not a solution.
Maybe if you emailed the developer you could request that it not disable the lock screen yet still wake the phone from any hardware button, which I think is what we all want.
Anyway, I have to give it a thumbs up as a temporary, albeit not perfect and very unsecure, solution.
I don't have your problem, but as a former iphone user, I'm used to the home button to wake up the phone.
I'm having all kinds of problems since the update. This is one of them.
I agree with you.. for some reason. My battery drains like a mothafuga now. Today for exampe.
, I went to work at ten. Went to break two hours later and the battery was at 82% from 98%.. just sitting there idling.. why??
I also experienced this and also sometimes it wont wake up at all. It registers no input. I have to pull the battery and restart the phone.
I'm getting this, discussed it briefly elsewhere in this forum..
It's got gradually worse over the last few days for me. If you're still in your 14 days I'd ring now to get a replacement. I'm going to have to send mine off and be without it for a week.. Harsh.
Looks like it might be a fairly widespread hardware issue.
^Let us know how the fix goes. I'm not having an issue with it...yet! It's amazing HTC only made 2 hardware buttons and still couldn't have better than 50% success rate
its weird now... the button is acting fine.. dont send it in...... give it a couple days because mine did it a whole ton and then its gone. if you're really partial to your nexi, i'd just keep it... things will probably shape up
How odd, I've kind of discovered if I hold down the left hand side of the power button quite hard with my nail and rock it accross it works OK. Will wait it out like you said and see.
Sleep Button Un Responsive
Im also have the same problems where my Power Button is starting to not respong. I have to pres it like 5 to 10 times before it actually wake up or does anything. Even wile the phone is off like if I pull out the battery. When I put the battery back in, I have to press the button like 7 times before the phone responds and power up the phone.
Any suggestions or solutions?
Will HTC fix this problem for free with an unlocked bootloader?
nope unfortunately i learned that the hard way... $55

Most of you know this but maybe it helps some.
You have to manage it a bit. Turn Bluetooth/Wifi/3G/GPS/AutoSync off when not needed..
Speaking of which.. does anyone know of a smart App that lets you toggle between programmable profiles for the above list of settings?
Also discharge/recharge the battery completely every once in a while. Makes sense to have an extra USB cable @ work as well.
Anyone else having this problem,
Sometimes when I get to unlock screen and swipe across it doesnt react to it the first time and I have to do it again.
Yes. Many, many times. I resolved this by downloading an app that gets rid of the bar from me, so now I press home. Unfortunately this means I have no security on my phone. Yay!
Yea; I mean how much of a problem is it though? I guess it takes a second sometomes to initialize the scanner.
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix
I am not talking about the finger printer reader, also at work I have about 1 second to check phone, so it just gets annoying when I spend that one second trying to get passed the lock screen
Oh! Yea that happens to me sometimes as well; I hate it.
It also "confuses" me when I slide it but there's nothing really being slid you know? Just the color.
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix
Never had a problem with slide to unlock.
The finger scanner though, you have to remember at what angle and what direction you scanned in. Finding a comfortable swipe is better than trying to get a correct register. It's kind of like practicing golf swings.
I didn't have this issue till I did a factory reset, now the lock screen is soo slow.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Was going to say same thing. I did my 1.5.7 update a little bit ago and really having seconds from when I hit the power button until my screen wakes up. I can actually hit the button and scan my finger before it comes on. Anyone else having this type of slowdown?
Sorry for bringing up a old thread but kinda based on what I am dealing with.
My Atrix keeps waking itself up after putting it to sleep and STAYING on...
It is killing the battery life. This has only happened since the update...
Solutions?
I had that once before on my old build. Not sure what did it but it did end up stopping after a little bit myself. I think it was an app that was doing it

I would check to see if any apps are causing your phone to wake up; I remember this happening on my Captivate last year. I don't remember what the problem was but I knew it stopped after a week or so.
Something I have noticed with 1.5.7 the supposed fix to allow the phone to sleep while charging was a sinple change in the setting under development. I also have noticed when you place the phone on the charger if the lock screen is up and you are using the fingerprint scanner. you can never ( or should I say rarely) get it to stay asleep as it keeps reading the button press as a finger swipe. The only solution I have found is to make the the phone is on the home screen and press the button to make it sleep. then it stays asleep
I have had things like this happen to me, for a while I was using GingerBlur and I thought thats why the phone was glitching but when I went back to stock I had it glitch like this a few times on me also... I almost feel like my Atrix is running a beta...
I have not had any issues with the slider itself but i have observed this for a few days now. When i slide to unlock the screen, it goes directly to the contacts page and just freezes for a while. no other buttons work except hitting the home button and then ot works as usual. Any pointers? i recently rooted my phone and flashed it with the Alien rom [build #4 - 2.6.32.9]
Does anyone know if there is a fix for the slow power on with the SGII.
Its almost a second before the lock screen appears. Also clicking the home button once on is slow.
Its one of the reasons I upgraded from my HD2, Hoping this was better.
Thanks
What exactly do you mean?
1) Turning on the phone takes longer than 1sec
or
2) when you hit the power button it takes longer than 1 second to show the screen.
If it is the 2nd option, mine turns on in 0.5s which is more or less normal for this type of screen. And when you turn it off it dims which takes a little longer.
Its not that slow that it disturbs me though and I can be pretty impatient.
I guess it's all relative. One of the three way comparative videos showed the SGS2 booting faster than the O2X and Sensation. I can vouch for the O2X/G2X. I could restart it, make coffee, take a shower, get dressed, and it would be finished by the time I got back.
Phone is booted.
If I power it off via the button and then back on its instantaneous.
If I leave it for a few minutes then hit the power button then its takes around a second.
Also, If I am in the settings screen and then hit the home button it takes around 1/2 second. definite pause.
It might be due to CPU hainvin to unsleep?
When on charge its fine. Power on 1/2 sec.
If I hit the power button and leave it for 30 seconds it like 0.1 seconds.
If it goes to sleep by itself or left for 1/2 an hour then it like 1.5 seconds.
Perhaps power on is not the correct term.
OP is referring to waking the device, and not booting it up.
The delay is something we all experience and honestly its not that big of a deal. I can spare the 700ms in my life for my screen to turn on.
There is lots of discussion about this issue already in these forums with many theories why this happens.
If you want my honest opinion, I think users that complain about this are just nit-picking.
Sent from my GT-I9100
No problems with the 700ms. It the 1500ms that has me pressing the power a second time.
It just along enough delay for me to question if I pressed the power button hard enough.

Yes, and fyi it's 1.2 seconds, yea I've stop watched it, lol. If I am not wrong I was first who said this problem and been said to check some un-boxing videos, and after checking at least 10 of them I was relieved. 100/100 phones are same, some says his or her reacts instantly but that's not the case. It's really an annoying thing to have especially when I never had this issue on any phone before. May be a firmware update could fix it.
Regards.
I have to press it 2-3 times before the phone powers on. It doesn't happen all the time. it's very intermittent, but it does happen. After doing a factory reset, the button still performs the same. This just stated happening 2 days ago. I didn't drop it or get it wet. Anyone else experiencing this or do I have a faulty power button? I also get a delay when using the home button to turn on the phone. The home button issue might be due to the SD card though. Really love this phone, but this issue is frustrating!
You have to press and hold the power button for a few seconds to turn the phone on from cold.
The home button is probably because of S Voice which is set to activate with a double click of it, so it'll wait to see if you click it twice before going to the home screen, you can disable this in S Voice's settings.

Sometimes I have to press the power button more than once to put the phone to sleep. Do you experience the same? Is this normal? I am coming from a GS2. This never happened. I purchased an unlocked phone from GSM Nation. I am past the 15 day window to return, so I don't know how they will proceed. If I send my phone to Samsung, I'll be without a phone.

To be honest, no, it goes 'to sleep' pretty instantly with one press on mine.

You might not be pressing the button deep enough. If pressed properly, it should go to sleep with just one press. Long press will pop up the shutdown/restart menu. If turned off, long press of 2 sec will power on the phone.

Yes, I'm having this problem and I think others are too. I've had 10-30 second wake up lags at times (I have one of them recorded for proof). I got a replacement phone yesterday and while I didn't use it long enough to experience all of the lags, it had a pretty constant 2 second wake up lag. I'm now using SoftLocker to prevent the phone from going into deep sleep and that's minimizing the lag.

I guess it depends on the RAM utilization. The delay happens to me when the RAM is highly utilized.
Does anyone who is having lag issues, have ART as their runtime? I had such nasty lag with ART that I almost took my phone back. Once I switched back to Dalvik, everything was really fast. If you don't know what ART or Dalvik is, then it's probably something else.

Anyone else see this? Usually works that all of a sudden I need to press the power button to turn the phone on.
I think I have found the issue.
I believe it's pocket mode and the sensor stops reading and thinks it's covered
Yeah. It happens to me every so often. See this thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/lock-screen-freezes-t3869001. It was really starting to get bad when I was on 9.0.6. Sometimes even hitting the power button wouldn't wake it immediately. I'd have to hit it a few times, which would then trigger the camera. Since I updated to 9.0.7, it hasn't happened as frequently, maybe only a couple of times. I hadn't considered it possibly being related to pocket mode since I notice it mostly when I pick up the phone off of my desk.

Yeah I take the pocket mode comment back. I only noticed it happening the device was covered but it has happened the times within two days where the device is out on my desk. I can't find a cause or pattern it's just annoying.
