Anyone experience any power button delay?

I've noticed that whenever I press the power button to wake my phone up, there usually is a delay from the time I press it til the lock screen comes up. The delay is about 2-3 seconds. Anyone else seeing this delay or is it just me? Im running a stock clean unrooted vibrant.

this also happens to me but it's not that often. Try lagfix?

Oh is this something that can be fixed with the lag fix? Can anyone with lagfix testify to this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

This isn't fixed with a lagfix; and it is quite normal with this phone. Custom ROMs, in my experience, do a good job with it though.

I'm not really sure, because when i have my delays i think it's only a lag.

Lagfix wont help.
I have lagfix and this happenstoo.
1 reason is... when you click power your phone fades in or out so that causes it to delay a second then it just does it again for a second to get everything started and ready.
No real way to fix. Its usually on every vibrant but the ones with super fast ROMS wont have it.

My phone often takes up to 10 seconds to turn off the screen which is super annoying.

10 seconds?! I STRONGLY reccomend you do a full master reset.

Wake up lag

Hey, do any of you guys get wake up lag? If i don't wake up my phone for about 3 minutes, and I try and wake it up, it takes a good 3-4 seconds to turn on the screen. is this normal? I am running gingerblur, launcher pro, and a fingerprint sensor, so I don't know if that is what is slowing it down.

yeah its normal i have it too. i returned my atrix for the same reason got the new one right out of the box with the same issue

thanks for the quick reply!! hopefully this will be fixed in a future update...

yep. it got used to it already.

Nope. I have no wakeup lag. I would say that mine takes a fraction of 1 second after I press the power button for the screen to be ready to be unlocked.

are you running everything stock motoblur? and do u have fingerprint setup?

Search button anyone? This topic has been done to death....

3-5 secs lag is too much. I tested this (in 1.86) with//without fingerprint lock, with/without launcher pro, with/without GB 3.5 and although fingerprint and LP seem to add a small lag, no combination that I tested had anything close to 3 secs of lag. The few times I've seen that kind of lag in the couple of months I've owned the phone were far and few between.

Yes, 3 seconds or so is normal, sometimes out doesn't turn on. Tomorrow I'm exchanging for an Infuse.

Don't really have 3 secs, I'd say about 1 or max 2. Go louncher ex removed motoblur widgets, everything else stock and live wallpaper.

Turn off fingerprint sensor and problem solved

I have this problem as well, very annoying. It has happened ever since i first booted it. But its weird, even though the screen is off, its is still responsive and i can feel the screen vibrate when i drag where the unlock bar would be across the screen.

If you are using set cpu in sleep below 500mhz you maybe will get a delay/lag

No lag.
Only when it boots up the first time but that's expected when all my crap is loading up.
I don't use the finger scanner or password or anything just turn on the volume button and its fast no lag.

Power button not working on CM7

Hey guys for some strange reason my Evo's power button is not working at all. Its def not jammed or broken and it just started happening last month. Idk if its CM's fault and its a bug or what. Im lost any sugggestions would be super awesome. Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I've never heard of CM7 causing something like that- though I assume you mean you have your evo on but can't press it to bring up the power menu. If you mean the power button won't turn the screen on, check to see if the buttons are at least lighting up. If they do, that's a backlight issue caused by the CM7 kernel, not the power button. Try to turn the screen on and off a few times and the backlight should eventually come on. Then, in cyanogen settings, turn the screen-on animation off- that solved the backlight issue for me.
Otherwise, try pulling the battery to turn it off, then plug it back in, if it doesn't turn on at all when you hit the power button from there, that's a hardware issue and it's time to take it in to get fixed.

Sounds like a bad power button. Lucky for you cm7 just added the ability to wake the phone from the volume keys.

There is a widget as well that you can apply that will put the phone to sleep for you.

STRANGE touch sensitive button problem

Just got my SGS2 and encountered a really odd problem.
When using the phone while lying down on your bed aka checking email in bed, the back key registers 2 key presses.
To reproduce it every time, just slide your finger slowly onto the back arrow from the bottom left.
This only happens while lying down and is actually pretty annoying because it makes navigating pages hard.
Anyone else have this issue?

Tried it and it's perfectly fine for me..

Actually, it happens both normally and upside down. Maybe time to get a replacement, can't be firmware right?

Maybe you should get a replacement.. Have you flashed or rooted your device?

A couple of old threads reported that the back button is not sensitive enough and sometimes would require 2 taps for it to register the command, must be something related?

When looking into buying an s2, I was considering buying a damaged one where the touch buttons wouldn't work. Upon researching so I could find a fix and buy it cheap, it turned out to likely be a hardware issue and on a side note, most of the people that had reported similar or same issues also mentioned using a third party charger/non samsung one.
Basically the kist of the signs of problems - charger thing, erratic touch screen behavior while using the charger, intermittent issues with the soft keys not working, and eventually failure of the soft keys.
But every post I saw resulted in a successful warantee claim. Hopefully the same can be said for you if worst comes to worst

Thanks for the replies,
The phone is less than a week old so I might just have it replaced.
The double tap issue only happens when lightly/slowly pressing "back". But that is very often since the touch screen is so sensitive.. I feel like this all started after upgrading from kg7 to ki2 using kies. Oh well..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Quick question for the community: Would rolling back to KG7 from KI2 using Odin void my warranty? I want to see if the problem was still there, because the phone came with KG7 installed 10 days ago.
I noticed how the touch screen immediately got much more sensitive (too sensitive for my taste) after upgrading to KI2 in Kies. It seems like it starts registering a press when a finger is just barely hovering over the glass which makes it hard to control and the capacitive keys super jittery.
Now, both the "menu" and "back" buttons registers multiple key presses if not pressing them super firmly and quickly.
I hate this stuff... I have never once bought a phone without running into stupid problems like this.

If you only tried to flash official firmware your binary counter won't increase so you can just return to stock firmware.. Check your binary counter in download mode, if it increased even by one use a jig to reset it to zero (with old bootloader ofcourse)..

I do have this issue too, but i'll just tap it very fast to avoid the double tap. Using stock from KF1 still.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

I just figured it out. The double tap only happens when the lights are off for the keys. I switched to 6 s/always on and I can't get it to double tap by itself anymore. Worth trying for others with similar problem!

Won't turn off.

Got a question. My girlfriends phone won't stay off. We press the power button to put it to sleep and/or turn the screen off. When we do, it comes back on right after. It is a little annoying and battery draining. Any help?

Just do a battery pull

Yeah we do that, but sometimes it still does it too. Its weird.
Sent from planet Vegeta.

If its plugged in it could stay on. Is her phone rooted? Can you clear the cache and dalvik? Make sure its unplugged and do a battery pull. Then leave it out for a couple mins, replace, wipe cache and see if it still happens. She may also have a crappy power button.

Nah, she's not rooted. I've thought about it, but I also don't want to mess her phone up and go through the long gfree process. Mine is rooted, g2. But I told her maybe later I would. She likes the way it is, dunno why, but does. So ill let it be for now.

B4 I was rooted I use to use go launcher and other home replacement apps and I found sometimes it would make my screen turn on randomly so it could be an app she has down loaded

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. She has a theme on go sms that tries to get her to download go launcher. I want her rooted so her phone will work 10x better, but she's an if ain't broke don't fix it girl. But her phone is pretty broke ha ha
Sent from planet Vegeta.

Haha well it could be an app and I think you should just keep trying to get her to let you root it and then give her a great custom rom and she won't have any reason to complain lol

wont turn off
hi, i have a rooted my-touch 4g w/ cyanogen 7. i am currently experiencing the same problem. pressing the power button only momentarily shuts screen off then it comes right back on. after that it will continue to shut off and on. i believe the problem has to do with the track pad button, possible=y something making contact or an improperly working switch. i have found that if you time pressing the power button right when the screen starts to turn back on it will stay off, but you have to time it right. as to why i think its the track pad, i have found that if you hold the track pad button down and then press the power button the screen will remain off until you release the track pad button. i pressed down hard on the track pad and released then tried the power button by itself and it seem to be functioning correctly for the moment. i am 99% sure its the track pad button.

Could it be stuck power button
