Waking up the GS3 is very slow.
Going to home screen is slow.
I know disabling S Voice home monitoring fixes the lag to go home, but it doesn't fix the lag to wake up the phone, which is much longer than other phones.
Apple is able to have the same feature (double tap for Siri) with no lag, so it is definitely something in Samsung software.

So... I just noticed something.
Whenever I am running some application on my phone... and I press the home button, it is a little choppy in getting back to the home screen (90% of the time). There is no lag, as it gets there very fast, but isn't a smooth transition.
However, if I ever press the back button... all the way to home, the transition is much smoother, and not choppy at all.
Anyone else seeing the same trend... and more importantly does anyone know why?
The whole thing is just a pet peeve of mine, as the choppy feel just bothers me.
hi guys, i could wake the phone up by pressing volume keys when i use the 2.2
but it useless now with 2.3, do you have same issue?
i guess that is normal..not an issue..

Galaxy 3
it's not a little issue it's just a big problem.
I have the same annoyance.
This is a Beta release and my guess is that this will be resolved in the official release.
I also miss the ability to go to silent mode from the lock screen.
BUT, apart from that it seems to resolve my random reboots, fingers crossed
Yes, same situation here.
Other than force of habit, is there any specific reason why the previous arrangement was better? After a few hours of use, the Power Button wake-up feels normal.

Yikes, that sounds like a pretty serious oversight. For example, my wife doesn't use the 'draw a pattern' security screen specifically because she needs/likes the ability to immediately slip the phone into silent mode. Fumbling to get your phone into silent mode is awkward and uncomfortable for the user and frequently the user's neighbors. ;-)
I had assumed that the various unlock destinations on the new locked screen could be user assigned. I haven't looked into the matter very far, yet. I suppose the working solution is just stroking into the homescreen and then utilizing the volume key.

For example, I use my phone in a car on a dashboard. And if, for some reason, it turns the screen off I don't want to chase the button in the dark. Or if I just want to see the time and I'm wearing gloves.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and there has always been a lag from when i push the power button to when the screen actually turns on/off. It's not terrible, however, it is very noticeable. I've been told that this issue had plagued almost every samsung 'galaxy' phone... For those of you who have an s4, is there any lag like this? thanks.

The power button lag to turn on phone will always be there, remember, the phone is (or should be) in deep sleep when you wake it up, so there is a slight delay. I think there are apps that will prevent deep sleep and wake up your phone faster, but of course, that should drain your battery faster.
If you disable S-Voice from the home button it will be quicker. Double click home and that will open S-Voice, then hit menu and select the option to use home button for the app..
think about when you turn your computer monitor or television on, then realize that the droid screen you own is actually very responsive lol
I've got a note 3 sm-n9005 NOT rooted and my phone keeps unlocking itself in my pocket. I *think* what's happening is that my menu button is being pressed accidentally against my leg or the pocket (depending on which way it's in the pocket) and it's waking it up. I'd prefer not to root, but I was wondering if there was anyone here who had the same issue and / or know of anything i should look for/check on to make sure i didn't set something else that might be doing this or ways that i might be able to prevent this from happening. it's actually a pretty severe battery drain, and also i end up going into programs, dialing numbers, entering text... how do i solve this?
P.S. I had an original note (sgh-i717) and it had capacitive buttons on the face which were completely inactive unless i woke the phone by pressing the power button on the side. this configuration not only worked BEAUTIFULLY but the interface was much more usable and less likely to break. I really wish they'd do away with the physical menu button. it sucks. - and also, where'd the search button go? it was super useful for activating google now and i configured long-press to launch the camera which was super useful.
while i'm on the topic, anyone who can tell me how to remove svoice and have google now wake up the phone with either ok google or high galaxy without rooting / switching roms would have my high praise. I really don't like svoice, never have. google now is *much* better.
I've noticed even since Nougat, my force touch on the home button does nothing a lot of the time. It can't be a hardware issue because the phone does vibrate when I apply pressure to it.. does anyone else have this issue?
It's kind of the main reason I never hit the lower left button to hide the nav bar- force touch is unreliable and sometimes I have to hit it a second time even though it vibrates.
