Waiting time for screen on.

I have tried kj4, kka and sheep rom. All have the annoying long wait after pressing power button intil the screen is lit up. Also tried different CPU governors without result. What is the problem here? And can it be solved?
Is it just me, or do others experience this as a prob?

I've got the same rom, but I don't see the problem you described.... try to reinstall the rom.
ps: you should post this under the thread of your rom, without creating a new one

You may have a defective device.

mine is like 2seconds after the bootanimations and stops at samsung logo..fast enough for me

I have the same problem with my note. I just got mine yesterday. No clue as to what's causing it. I updated my firmware to the latest but left the old kernel so i could keep root access. Had the same problem with both the new and the old firmware.

Just to clarify the issue here:
When the phone is on but screen has been off for a while, the time between pushing pwr button and until the screen lights up is about 1 second, it may not sound much but it just enough to make one press the button once again. Not what i am used to on my previous androids from HTC.

Same here. KJ4, stock KKA and sheep KKA. It is annoying indeed...

Probably a user experience thing, you guys who claim to NOT have the issue:
Can you lock the screen and wait for like 10 mins and then on the screen again and time the delay from button press to screen light-up?

Where do you come frome? I mean are u used to Samsung devices or something else?
I am judging this by my 2 previous HTC's whith all kinds of different Roms where I have never seen this.
My thought is that it is on all notes but some people does not see it as a problem but you and me do.

I am having the same issue. Takes 1-2 seconds until the device is fully powered up from standby...

I think I figured out the issue. I disabled weather on the lock screen and now my phone comes straight on. Maybe everyone with the issue can try that and see if it works for them?

Confirmed, getting rid of the weather on the lock screen gets rid of the lag

I'm having the same prob. I'll try removing the weather app and see if that helps.
Great no I cant remember how to remove it. help

nope mine is snap on... did u try turning off display animations? if not try it

This was there even on the s2..

yea, mines also has the same 1-2 sec delay. no weather on lock screen. found it odd, cause i've only had HTC phones so far, and never saw this.

Samsung don't use early_resume in the kernel, that Seems To be more qualcomm Related code.
It's that Code that gives you instant screen resume on the HTC devices et al.
I found this a niggle on the note as well, but have got Used to it,especially compared to amount of work it would take to fix it.

Lag?

Am I the only one experiencing MASSIVE lag on this phone? The lag comes and goes intermittently, its really random. Not consistent, but I experience it often doing typical tasks, such as changing my browser window, opening text messages, changing between apps, the notification bar will stutter when pulled down randomly, etc. This is my second S4, and both seem to lag really bad.
What do you guys think?

Turn off all bloat ware or factory reset the phone.

Its off, at first I thought maybe that was the problem, but I'm positive its off.

It's a problem. Everyone has noticed it with the AT&T version. AT&T and Samsung really need to get together and get on this pretty quick to address this issue. Stutter and lag should not be part of a phone that scores so well on every benchmark.

So its limited to just the At&t branded version? If thats the case I might just return this and pick up the T-mobile version.

Install Nova launcher and override the transition animations with either slide or ICS. That takes care of the stutters when opening and closing apps.

I have uninstalled all bloat, changed launcher to Nova, and reduced animation times... And my phone still lags with typing and in the browser and overall UI. This is disgusting to see... My Nexus 4 is so much smoother...

That stinks. Changed them a few hours ago and I've not had one stutter opening or closing an app since. Silky smooth now. Using ICS animations right now.

I have lag & studdering as well. I've had an S3 & a Note 2 & nether one of them has it as bad as my S4. Just thinking it may be because it's there 1st phone 2 run on the newest 4.2.2 OS & just need 2 work out a few bugs. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, fingers crossed becuase besides from that this thing is a Beast! Loving it

Im convinced the lag is a sure thing on ALL devices. Those of you who dont THINK you have no lag, I assume is because you have never used a lag free device like the HTC One or Nexus 4. Personally at this point I'd go as far to say my old S3 was "smoother" than this S4.....

Mine is so laggy that I don't even want to use it. I would say that its because it has so much going on.

Even with everything disabled and bloat ware deleted, there is still considerable stuttering and lag going on.

Nexus 4 coming tomorrow.

Hey guys, I've got a nexus 4 coming tomorrow and I am really excited! However, there is one thing that kind of scares me... Do the on-screen buttons take up a lot of screen space? Also, what is the best way to deal with them.
Thanks in advance!

No, they don't use much space. Some people like to use the PIE instead, I personally turn on expanded desktop on CM10.1 and downloaded a gesture control app. Works pretty good, esp. because I didn't like the PIE

Haha mine is coming in tomorrow too! Along with the wireless charger and cases I bought off of Amazon!

Theres not really a "best" way.
Why not just use "fastboot flash recovery" to install it? Its probably the most efficient and direct way to go about it.

The size and alignment of on-screen buttons is perfect with respective to screen size. However, you can change their size also after rooting the device.

Do you mean flashing it through like twrp?

Honestly you can adapt to both options, I used to use it normally and now I am using pie

T-Mobile lied to me... T_T
They said it would be coming expedited next day but they sent it ground shipping... Won't be here till Monday or Tuesday! Lame.

I prefer the navigation bars over pie. If you use a custom rom with the feature then you can adjust it's size so it appears smaller on the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Flash a custom ROM and adjust the size of them. I personally think the size of the Navbar on stock is hideous, whenever I compare my phone to my friend's stock N4 I think that mine just looks so much cleaner with less black space at the bottom of the screen. 70% works perfectly for me, not too small but not intrusive either.

Just got mine today! Love it so far!

The screen buttons are about a quarter of an inch, which imo is fine. Coming from an s3 I prefer on screen buttons over physical buttons any day and will be a deciding factor in buying any future phone.

Yeah on screen a really more responsive in my opinion. Find myself only having to hit them once unlike my s3.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks guys for all of the info, really excited for my phone to come... Coming from an HTC One S right now and I really like being able to have my recent apps key double as menu on short press and recent apps on long press... Would that be possible with the onscreen buttons?

Sorry for the double post, just wanna say that it arrived last night and I couldn't be any happier on a work day. XD

I don't find them intrusive at all even on the default size, but then again I migrated from an 800x480 phone, lol.
They also auto-hide when playing videos - tapping the screen during the video brings them back again for a few seconds.
Flashing a custom ROM is great for customizing the buttons and what they do. I find that I prefer a menu button over having to hunt for a 3-dot overflow, and I also find a search button useful for quickly bringing up the address bar in the browser so I can type a URL. So thanks to CM10.1 I was easily able to reconfigure the onscreen buttons - I now have Back, Home, Menu, and Search from left to right. The Menu button doubles as a Recent Apps Switcher when longpressed.
What is annoying though is that they are easy to accidentally hit when using apps in portrait mode. I have inadvertently exited Carmageddon many times to my extreme rage :/

Touchscreen way too sensitive

Has anyone noticed that the screen on this phone is way too sensitive? Mine goes as far as to register a touch when I hold my finger a few millimeters away. This results in accidental double presses and is very frustrating especially when typing. I even made sure the high sensitivity setting was off.
When in Camera mode, it even snaps photos by itself without my finger anywhere near the shutter button.
Any tips?

Nobody else with this issue? I'm debating whether to exchange this phone for another s4 or just trade it for an HTC one at this point.

There is a mode you need to turn off which makes it more sensitive. For winter and gloves.

Could your setting "high touch sensitivity" under display settings be turned on? Also for the camera, could it be you are saying things similar to cheese or smile or shoot?

As stated in OP I had made sure that the hi sensitivity option is off as well as any other convenience features.
As for the camera, I have been in windy conditions when this was occurring, so maybe it was thinking I was giving voice commands. But I had all of that turned off as well, so I'm not sure what the deal is.
I will probably revert to factory settings again before returning the phone to make sure it's not a software issue.
I think that Samsung went a little overboard with the touchscreen on this phone. I do not like the fact that everything can be used to touch the screen. What I actually liked about my iPhone 4s was that it was picky about only recognizing fingertip touches.
Great phone overall but this issue sadly ruins it for me. I do not want to go back to iOS so I think HTC One is the only other strong competitor.

Touch Screen Issues!

Is anyone having issues with the LG G2 touch screen.
The things I'm noticing is
guesture typing it loses it's trail and begins a new word. So if I'm trying to spell "Think," it'll get the "TH" then space it out and get some other string of letters etc.
Web Browsing; it'll click a link I'm not trying to
Zooming in on photos and scrolling while it's zoomed it'll sparatically zoom out or move to the next pic
There's several other things that I can't seem to get to replicate! Anyway with my research here's what I came up with.
My issue is much like this but far less easy to replicate!!! And not nearly as bad. How ever I was able to do it when my phone started having symptoms I pulled up the note pad and it did exactly like this just way less significant.

Here's another forum with people going through issues!

I'll take that as a no

I was having issues like that with gesture typing on both swift and stock keyboards. Basically it would just add all kinds of random entries. In another thread someone suggested using a microfiber cloth on the screen. It seems to be working now.

Just noticed that mine does the same thing... But it's not consistent, only happens once in a while. After I reboot it's fine. Really weird.

I posted earlier, looks like it didn't make it up. I had same issue, I tried flashing back to stock, assuming I had done something with rooting it, tried making sure that it was not an issue with ram bring to low, nothing fixed it. Took phone back to att, replaced it, havent had the issue once since then. I'm rooted, flashed and modded work no I'll effects. If you are within your return period, I would suggest that you return.

Well I got a replacement phone and the problem is still happening. So I went into the shed grabbed my old Cyanogenmod MyTouch 3G and I plan to use that until the Nexus 5 comes out. Hopefully I'll get a launch unit.
Just holding this little phone makes me feel all nostalgic lol. I bought it in 2009 and it still holds a decent charge.

Are you just going to wait until the nexus 5 comes out and then take your g2 back, tell them that this is the second one that has done this, and demand they replace it with the "newer g2" ie Nexus 5? I thought about this!

I'm hoping this is a software issue..mine is really annoying
