SLOW When Turning On WHY? - Galaxy S II General

Every rom I have tried this continues to happen.
I click the home or power button and the screen takes a while to turn on.
Is there something that can be done to turn the screen on instantly like other phones? This is a beast in speed and its so slow at turning on it's crazy.
I even OC and nothing.
Any ideas, is this normal for this phone?

Yes it is normal. it is waking from deep sleep into normal mode.

No its not normal... Connected to a charger it comes instant.

Yes its normal on battery .
jje

I wonder whether it's to do with the processor being underclocked whilst the screen is off and it takes a little while to wake up and get up to speed.
My Nexus S was similar when I used a screen off profile in setcpu.

It seems to be because of double tap for voice activation. So after single press the system is waiting for a second tap input to possibly start voice command before waking up.

If you use an app that don't let the phone going deep sleep mode (i have forgot its name btw you can google it) the wake up is instant...so is deep sleep related nothing to do with double tap
I dunno why in these phone the deep sleep is to deep XD but I allways hope that someone will fix it a day

So why is there a delay when using power button ?

Is due to the deep sleep policy and maybe it is related with the exynos cpu and how it handle the deep sleep.
But it's only a supposition of mine.

I think its the driver for suspend state of the device..samsung is infamous at sucking in making those (drivers in general)..

[Q] sleeping mode and waking up

Hi,
I have a friend who is disabled and want to buy the desire hd.
But before he has a question.
When the phone is in sleeping mode, how do you wake it up ?
With the on/off button ?
If yes, is it possible to wake it up with the tactil buttons at the bottom ?
Thanks
Hi mate, really sorry about your friend - hope he enables again soon. On topic, when the phone sleeps you hit the power button to wake it up.

yes the sleeping mode is turned on/off via the power button though im sure someone can alter it to make it turn on/off at the buttons below though it wouldnt work very well as if it gets touched it will wake the phone up lol
Thanks for your answers
This was my question
What about alarm wake up ? Is alarm working to wake you up in the mornings once we power off the device before we go to the bed?
Calls & Messages
With the phone turned off (standby mode) is the phone still able to receive calls and messages?
Sure it is

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.

Should I be worried?

I went to check something on my galaxy s but it wasn't responding. I tried holding the power button and tried to get it into recovery and download mode but nothing happened.
I then removed the battery and put it back in and it turned on as normal.

Known sleep-to-death problem. It happens on all ROMs I have tried on my phone. Happens more after a phone call. I was recently on holydays on another country and turned phone off, to use the SGS as a GPS navigation device only and I could suspend and resume it and use the GPS all day and it does not hang.
Just make a call, let it go to sleep and it may not wake up when you press the home or power button.
You don't have to remove the battery, just press the power button 10 seconds, phone will reboot.
I didn't make a call though. I was just on facebook then went back to the homescreen and locked my phone using lock screen widget which I have been using for months without a problem. A minute later I went to unlock it and it wouldn't respond. I tried holding the power button for atleast 8 seconds n nothing.

Pile of ****. Does NOT happen on all roms. It may happen on all roms you flash. More likely a problem with your phone, or user error.
Post the roms and your route to flashing, and then we will be able to advise.

Possible to wake phone by moving it?

I read that someone disabled the feature to wake the phone by approaching it. They said they had it set so the phone would wake only when they grabbed/moved it.
Is this possible? From what I have read, the wave to wake feature is actually gone. It has been replaced by the reach to wake feature.
My question is this. Can I disable the phone from waking when my hand goes near it, while having the phone wake when I physically move it? Someone mentioned they can wake the phone by tapping, since this would cause the phone to move. I would like to do this too. Thanks.

I just tested this for you. You disable moto notifications from reacting when you reach for the phone but it still turns on once picked up. So yes.

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.

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!
