Occasionally my Hero will go into a kind of spasm
It'll be sleeping on my desk, and to use a recent example, I was in the market, about to download Yelp, when I had a call on my work landline.
Put my phone down, whereupon it sent to sleep.
Finished my call, and picked my phone up.
Pressed the red button to wake it, and it doesn;t wake. The screen is still dark.
I press the red button again. Screen goes dark.
Expecting a reboot I wait.....nothing.....still nothing. Press the red button a couple more times.
then 15/20 seconds later the screen will come on, go off, come one, go off, as if it's catching up with my previous keystrokes....
what's up with that ?
Eventually I just pulled the battery.

I see the exact same thing on both of my Hero's. Never been able to figure out what exactly happens, glad its not ever happened with my car sinking in a lake or somthing.

so.. how often does your car sink in lake??
those times when it does... my guess is that your HERO was able to work and be a HERO and help you out
I have this same exact problem. Hopefully when (if) we get the new kernel, it'll be more stable and won't have this problem.

Again LOLLL
Actually, I noticed my lagg got REALLY bad after posting in this thread joking about it
(Nah, JK). But really, I had never had THAT bad of a lagg when waking up the phone, but lately it had been getting worse. I figured the only things I was using differently was Weather Bug Elite (it adds temperature to the taskbar) and the battery widget that also is on the taskbar. I unninstalled WBE, and the lagg got way better (it's not gone but WAY better than it was). Do you use the WBE app?

Alot of times it has just come off the charger, in which case I understand the lag...but most of the times just when it is sitting on my desk.
I do wonder if it has to do with the orrientation sensor, just because it's typically face down (Like after ignoring a phone call) when it happens
Lately my menu button has not been registering when i touch it. i have to touch it several times to get it to register. Also some times it brings up the search option.
Either this just started today or i just started to notice it. Its annoying.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Yes the Home button has quit working unless it is pressed a dozen times or so. Any fix???
My home is getting harder to use... Yes there is a fix and it sucks, exchange it.
No problems here. Picked up the phone on launch day and my buttons are working the same as they were out of the box.
My phone did the same, the home button stopped working had to click it multiple times for it to register.just exchange the phone. My new one had been great, every button registers on the first click

All I noticed is if the bottom buttons are off I have to touch them once to turn them on, then after they are on they register the first time.

The only time my buttons don't register is when the phone is doing something else at the same time (and that's very rare). It feels kind of like when my computer is doing a backup and it slows everything else down.
Can anyone confirm that these button issues happen when nothing else is running in the background?

Yes I can. I can take my phone in an awake but not busy and apply the same pressure to each key... All buttons except the home key vibrate and cause an action to occur. The home key I have to push much harder.
I noticed the home button lagging or you have to press it harder when running the Samsung widget Buddies now. If you have that widget running, delete it and the home works like a champ again.
I actually find the widget helpful for a favorites contacts so I'll continue to run it and just press home a little harder.
Here we go... video taken with a Vibrant of a vibrant showing the home button issue. When I hold the phone the problem is not as bad as the vid makes out. Vid makes it look like the button never works. It does but it takes some effort.
One thing to note. Home button action on home screen should bring up preview of all home screens.

Well the home buton issue started with me just now. Worked fine until then on my unrooted, non screen protected vibrant. Other soft keys work fine, but all the sudden home is not working half the time.
Just wanted to let other know that its not an out of the box issue but a developing problem.
Update: after ranting about the issue and showing several people my broken phone, I enabled the GPS and the issue disappeared while trying to show another person my issue. I disabled the GPS and the issue is still not present. SO I don't know if its was just coincidence but maybe its just a software bug. Keep in mind that a power cycle of the handset did not affect the home key working.
Thanks for everyone that posted. Looks like the majority is having issues w the home button. My Home button is working totally fine.
Anyway, my menu button started working again for a while, but its back to being buggy.
It seems to me to be a software issue.
What a pain, i already done a ton of customizations. I'm going to see what happens over the weekend. If the problem continues, i guess i'll unroot it and return it.
My home button works perfectly fine... but the search button doesn't work 1/2 the time @[email protected] I hope it's a software problem >.>; don't feel like going to the store to exchange
*edit* Okay I really think it's a software problem now because when the backlight is on for the search button, it would not respond 1/2 of the time. When the backlight is off, the search button works perfectly fine. I hope they fix this ^^;
When I first got the phone I had issues with the menu button. I had to use the whole pad of my thumb instead of the tip of my finger like the other buttons. The second day I had the phone it all worked fine and had continued to work. Definitely seems like software issue to me.

I concur about it being software related. I have the home button problem, and when it isn't working right (comes and goes), it always seems to have different quirks, including the one where it doesn't respond while the light is on and does as soon as it turns off. One thing is for sure...it's ruining my otherwise almost perfect experience with this phone. --and it worries me, because if it's software, getting it replaced isn't going to solve the problem. --and if I wait until the problem is discovered and fixed, I'll be past the return period for the phone, I'm afraid. I think all the people returning the phones are not addressing the real problem, and it may delay the process of finding a real fix. Does anyone know if Samsung is aware of this issue and have addressed it like they have for the gps? If not, how does one clue them in?

Yeah they have a lot of bugs to work out when they update this, lol.

I sure hope it isnt a ground issue. That would be hard to fix with software. I am afraid you are right though as my issue came back.
I'm not so sure about a ground issue. No problem whatsoever for 5 days in any situation, and then it hardly works in any situation? Seems like software. And no, sorry I don't have a link to Samsung re: gps. I just know I've seen a couple times in a few places that they have acknowledged the issue and are working on a fix.

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.

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...
Sent from my Atrix
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.
Got the N10 a few days ago and I noticed immediately a severe 5-7 sec wake-up lag. The delay is so long that instinctively, I always press the power button twice, believing the unit is powered down (the Xoom I owned before would wake-up almost instantaneously).
This problem is/was always present, even with the unit completely stock.
Other owners experiencing the same problem? What's your average wake-up delay?
Thanks,
---Mirco.
I usually have about a 1-2 second lag upon waking. It's a little annoying sometimes, but not too terrible considering how much I love the tablet.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I haven't noticed this issue at all with my unit.
I notice about 1-2 sec delay sometimes when waking my tablet.
I posted a video on YouTube that exemplifies the problem:
youtube . com / watch?v=sbjCi8K6kyY (the forum won't let me post links: remove the spaces to watch)
As you can see, from the moment I press the power button (sec. 5) and the moment the tablet wakes up (sec. 11) there's a full 6 seconds delay.
I've seen it on mine... It seems like the screen always ends up rotating when I see the lag.

Haven't figure it out yet: it started doing it right out of the box so I doubt it's some sort of software/configuration problem.

Best advice I can give is reflash the stock image from Google, instructions are available on here or on the android side itself, along with the image.

Did that, several times. Completely stock, bootloader locked/unlocked, rooted or not, it makes no difference: the 5-6 seconds wake-up delay is always there.
One thing I noticed: it disappear when the tablet is connected to my PC via USB cable. In this case wake-up time is the normal 1-2 secs.
I've just noticed the same issue. Mine can work fine for a few unlocks and then it will flash the unlock screen for a split second and go black. After reading the other posts on here, I left it for a while and 25 seconds later (tested three times now), the unlock screen appeared properly, enabling me to enter my pin and use the device. If I didn't enter the pin, after a couple of seconds of inactivity, the screen would power off as per the normal 30 timeout for pin entry.
If this is another hardware fault, I think I'll have a little cry First my Nexus One had digitiser issues, then power button problems (both times replaced/repaired under warranty). The Galaxy Nexus had 5GHz wifi issues and the Nexus 7 had bezel lifting issues...
**UPDATE**
As soon as I posted this, I remembered I'd recently installed LightFLow to get my notifiction lights for emails like my GNex has with CM10. I uninstalled it and tried again. After 30 power off/on cycles I haven't had one instance of it having the unlock delay...Seems connected in my opinion (in my case anyway).
I see nobody else here remembers having to wait for radio's or tv's to "warm up" before using them 1-2 seconds? HAHA, yeah, terrible lol I'm not talking just the 30's to the 60's here, I mean the 70's and 80's, I'm 41 Maybe those of us my age and older appreciate the tech now the most, because we've seen it progress so much from where it was.
I'm having a bit of a weird issue with my new Verizon GS5.
Scenario: I am doing something such as reading a text, decide I'm done and lock the screen, and then a second or two later realize I forget to check something and hit the lock button again to turn it back on. Most of the time when I do this the physical buttons will light up but the screen will stay black, and a few seconds later the physical buttons will turn off. This will happen a few times until finally the screen turns on and I see the lock screen.
I had a similar issue with my Galaxy Nexus (rooted and running Kit Kat) phone prior to the GS5 and figured it was my old hardware- is this some Kit Kat bug?
Thanks for any input
Same issue here. But I can't figure out if it was due to switching to ART or not.
We can wait others reply with this i hope someone will post a tip on this kind of problem.
I switched to art after installing apps and I'm ha ing this issue didn't really play with phone much until after switching to ART. Is anyone having this issue not on ART?

Had this a time or two. It's like the power button doesn't register or something. Yes I switched to art.
I have found though that if I hold power for a second it pretty much fixes itself without having to do anything crazy like yanking the battery or restarting the phone.

I'm having the same issue for the past two days; although, I am not switching between apps or anything (only trying to use the phone). No display, but get sound/vibration from buttons and LED lights from soft keys. Unfortunately, both times required me to yank the battery. My S5 is completely stock (not using ART) and have manually reinstalled my apps from old device. Any suggestions?

I hope this isn't the case. Once again I experienced these EXACT same issues with my Galaxy Nexus running 4.4.2. I can't help but think it might be some app causing it since not everyone has it.
I am noticing this every once in a while. But it's mostly right after I shut the screen off after a large processed app or task, and then remember something I forgot to do and try and turn it back on and there is some lag bringing up the screen again.

I was about to return my S5 to Verizon for this very reason. I haven't switched to art and have been having the screen go black on me, you can tell the phone is on because the physical buttons are lit. It seems to happen to me alot when I take the phone off the charger and hit the on button. I will hear the phone rebooting, but not see the boot animation. Thats when I do a battery pull. Holding the button doesn't do it. I also have had a few random reboots. Thats ok...I'm going to try every root method under the sun..gggrrrr..lol
I've started to try to uninstall apps to see if I can narrow down the issue. It still plagues me at least half the time I try to use my phone.
This is happening to me as well. Not as often. I'd say once a day, but I have to pull my battery to restart it. I did 2 factory resets and am now using a new google account as per verizons request and I added apps slowly. I have been fine until I put a second launcher on. I installed the GEL launcher but did not use it just to see if having multiple launchers could cause this glitch. Could it be this? Is everyone else using a different launcher? Also the only time I ever had it happen while messing with the phone was two times while working in light flow. Any one else connected to those two happenings? Trying to narrow down what could be causing this.
Running ART here, I'm not sure if I'm getting this problem, but I have realized some latency from pressing either the home or power button and the screen turning on. Not sure what causes that lag, but it's a good almost full second whereas my S4 would be instant

I would assume this is NOT the physical hardware issue, but the software, I heard somewhere that Samsung version of KitKat 4.4.2 is quite buggy and glitchy.

Anyone have any further ideas yet? I'm not running ART bit I was able to have it happen again when I had Google experience launcher installed. Removed it and it hasn't happened for two days. I'm installing Google launcher again now to see if that was causing the issue.
Anyone else with further developments?
