Power up delay

When i press the power button, there's a 0.5s delay before the screen turns on. Is this normal, or just with mine?

You flashed it with anything or running stock?

Any custom kernels for lagfix / oc?

Nope, just flashed jm2, and rooted, nothing else.

Dunno then, might be normal. Its even worse with the lagfix kernel.

Hmm ok, thanks for you fast reply's!

OMG! are you guys for real!
this is >insert slur here<
a fraction of a second for the screen to turn on from off is normal on any phone device.
....

Don't label me with the same brush as the op. I was trying to ascertain if he had the startup lag from the custom kernel used for the lag fix with samset. I said it was probably normal - I refrained from calling him an impatient fussy so and so. Abuse him all you like, leave me out of it.

How is this normal on any device? as my touch diamond didn't have it, my ****ty nokia 5800 didn't have it, my htc artemis, htc tytn II, do i need to continue?
It's 0.5s-1.5s. But mostly 0.5s, that's why i said that.
If you don't have a solution, just don't post , i flashed jp3 to try it out, and the delay i've got from jm2 is gone. Hmmm, guess the delay wasn't normal after all.
Damn, i feel like i'm on a chatbox with 12-year old's.
And no, i don't mean Bynar010 to be clear.

Hello all.
This wake up lag is killing me, coz its 1.5s most of the time.
I did apply the lag fix kernel, and that was worse at times. So now i simply reflashed it (JM5 now) and removed the SD card.
Is there anything else I gotta to to remove this fix, or re-flashing removes it ok?
Thanks in advance

I am also having this problem. It can be anywhere from half to three seconds . I have just flashed to jm5 and applied the one click internal lag fix. Anyone know what I can do to fix this. Thanks in advance.

Same problem here on JM2 + 1 click lag fix. I previously use JM2 + memocan and not found this problem. Wondering why others with 1 click lag fix didn't realize this since it's very longer (mine's about 3 sec).

3 second is nothing...
just pressing the POST button to this took more than 3 sec

In that case not only this phone sux, but your internet connection isn't much better..
Please just reply if you can help us with this problem. I like the phone, but the power-on delay is just annoying. I use it instead of a watch too. Wouldn't you care if you had to look at least 3 seconds at your watch before you could see the time, EVERY time you looked?
As i said, this is just annoying, other phones i've owned didn't have a delay like this, not even the WM ones.

i don't know about you, but the last WM phone and PalmOS phone i've had took at least 1 sec to display
yes i use my phone as a watch as well, i don't carry a watch with me

Just to throw it out there, mine lags about 0.25 to 0.5 seconds on average. I'm on JM5 without root.

Do you mean lag when you press the power button to unlock your phone, or when you switch on your phone? It's of course normal during switching on the phone. But I also experience a lag when unlocking the phone (~1 second). It only happens when I haven't used the phone for 5 minutes or more. Doesn't happen if I lock it and immediately try to unlock it again. I believe it's the chipset waking up from sleep or something.

@ AllGamer:
The ones i had: HTC: S100, Artemis, Kaiser, Touch Diamond.
They all went on faster. I didn't have the problem at first (with stock firmware), guess it started after my first flash (to jm2), but the problem stays when i flash back to the stock firmware, that's the strange part..
@ ssj4Gogeta1:
I mean the delay when you press the power (or home) button when the phone is already powered on, and it happens everytime, even when i press the power button, wait 5 seconds, and press it again. Nowdays, it's at least 1.5s every time.
Lol, would be great if i meant the power-on time.

the thing is, all phones i've had, will go slower and slower the more apps i install into them
the same applies to SGS.
to keep them fast, i always only install apps that i'm really going to use.
i used to clam every single piece of software i can put my hands on into the phone before, that always lags the phone to death.... although so far the SGS is holding quite well
still testing out a lot of software, but once i'm done i'm going to stream line it with only the stuff i want in it.
Regarding the delay with the Home button, that is not the same as Power button.
See now we understand you better, it does takes a split second after you wake up the phone with the home button.
however anything longer than 1 sec is not quite right, if you have that sort of lag, try optimizing the phone.
recent firmware updates like JH1 or JH2 depending where you are, have made vast improvement on performance
in the worse case scenario you can try the one click lag fix from the Dev section of the forum
are you still on the stock firmware?

[Q] Full stock n9005 - Hotplugging misbehaving, cores stuck online (2 or 4)

Hi,
Anyone been keeping an eye on hotplugging on the n9005 ?
Mine is still unrooted, so I'm talking 100% vanilla Samsung configuration...
I use Android Tuner's online core notifications to keep an eye on this, there are other apps that can to this as well.
At some point, after a few hours of uptime, sometimes only after quite a many (20h+), I just notice that it will never drop below 2 or 4, never had it lock on 3 minimum, so can't comment on that scenario.
Once this happens, it's impossible to get back to single core even on very low load.
Also when leaving the device doing nothing, freq. drops to 300MHz and still 4 cores remain online.
There is obviously an impact on battery drain as well.
Only way to get back to normal is to reboot...
JP.

I've noticed the opposite issue, two cores just going offline forever until I reboot the device.

So that would point to obvious hotplugging issues, except if you ran into thermal throttling, maybe.
Were you running some heavy stuff when this happened ?
JP.

i tested it out of curiosity using the widget in system monitor app.
i have exactly the same issue as SentinelBorg above. the two cores go offline and never come back online until the next restart.
very wierd.

Well for the very least we can conclude hotplugging is flawed in the current firmware ...
As soon as we get a proper recovery (nandroid restore that don't bootloop) I'll start working on an improved kernel, this is just not acceptable for a top notch 700€ pricetagged device

You're on full stock. Doesn't that mean you have no options regarding CPU government?

Correct, so I cannot do anything about this misbehaving, except reboot.
I want to know whether this is something others observe as well.
The thing is, if you're not looking at it, you won't know it's happening, cause who really keeps an eye on online cores all the time ? I do as I do kernel coding and as such also work on governors, which make me look at stuff like that.
If this happens of yours, you'll just have a hotter Note 3 with less lasting battery without knowing why, or worse without knowing battery easily could last longer if that was fixed.
This clearly is a bug in the current firmware, since as you correctly stated, being full stock unrooted, I can't be influencing this in any other way than applying load to the CPU which is clearly not the case as you can see in the screenshots... and it just happens randomly.
Once I start on a Note 3 kernel that will be in the top list of things to take care of.

I would have gone with the N9000 if I knew how to develop a kernel. BIG.little sounds like so much fun to dev on.
PS
Have you found any Info about the thermal throttling? I'd love to be able to manipulate the temps for less heat when over clocking.

I was actually not going to get any more Samsung device because of crappy open source support they (in fact don't) give
I ended up going for the note 3 because of the specs and exactly because it was the Qualcom and not the Exynos version and a one time offer I could not refuse, but I will go nowhere Samsung's own super secret Exynos CPUs ever again unless they change their policies, which I doubt.
I just do hope I won't regret my move...

Happened again after ~10h uptime while watching a live video stream...
Cores went to a steady 4 online, load was unchanged over a longer period (~45 mins of video stream over WiFi).
This makes little sense, hotplugging is flawed.

Stock kitkat XXUENB3, unrooted. I have a similar problem when all of the sudden all cores are stuck online with core 1 and 2 stuck at 1958 mhz and core 0 and 3 scaling normally just not going offline. A reboot fixes the issue untill it happens again randomly. This is my last Android device and I had gs2,gnex,n4 and now n9005.

I've rooted and when the issue happens, disabling mp decision and enabling it again fixes the issue so this means that hotplug doesn't play well. Maybe a custom kernel will fix this issue.

Yes, long time I've open this thread
Indeed, on TW I used to do just that, "pkill -9 mpdecision", which killed the daemon and it respawned and all was back to usual.
I've since then moved to CM11, and this never happened again ever since, so I expect this to be a TW related issue, since mpdecision had the same MD5 signature in CM11 as on my stock 4.3 TW ROM.
And it looks like if the problem still persists on KK TW...
But it's certainly not a kernel related issue, as I've use my own kernel on JB TW, where this happened as well, once I went CM11, I ported my kernel to CM, and as I mentioned, never happened ever since.
Might be TW messing with DVFS (for benchmark cheating and maybe other things...).
Maybe worth trying to use Wanam's Xposed Module and disable ROM DVFS.

2 cores always online and the other 2 always offline= Dual Core
Ok guys I have experienced the bug with 2 cores being always offline which basically makes your Note 3 a dual core phone many times in the past untill I found what caused this! Even firing up Antutu the cores are still 2 and not 4 online! So yeah at first a reboot was an easy and effective sollution but that was not enough so I devoted 2 days trying to find out what caused this. Guess what? The problem was inside one of Samsung apps, specifically the bloody S-Finder app! I can reproduce the bug 100% whenever I want so I am very sure about it! Also I have tested this on 2 other Note 3s (n9005) and I noticed the same bug , with 4.3 and unfortunately now on 4.4.2!
Steps to reproduce it:1) Fire up S-finder 2) Search any app and launch it or even without launching just only by typing on the search bar the phone enters into dual core mode(!) after few seconds 3)Now this is the critical step, remember now the phone is already having only 2 cores enabled so if you press the home button then you are stuck with the buggy dual core mode!!! So this is how you end up with only 2 out of 4 cores working!
The sollution is of course to reboot the phone but another more faster and specific sollution is to close the S-Finder with only this (correct) way: while you are on the S-finder app close it by simply pressing the back button untill it exits completely and you are out to the menu. Incase you are not in the S-finder app then you must check if the program is shown in the recently used apps(longs pressing the home button) then tap on it to open it and then close it by hitting the back button." Don't close/kill it from the task manager or from the recently used apps, only close it when you are inside of the app and hitting the back button!"
Synopsis All in all, the culprit at least on my case is the S-finder app in which when it is used it somehow forces the phone to get into dual core mode and it stays like this because you forget to properly close it after the search is done. The sollution is simply closing the S-Finder gently/properly by using the back button from the inside of the app and not with any other way.
I don't know if this is truly a bug of Samsung or just a sneaky way to increase/improve the battery life at the expense of performance but I surely know that many people have this issue without even realising it!
I said too many things so that I can give a detailed review on this bug, I hope I have expressed it clearly and not to confuse you!
I think it is a very serious issue and it should be fixed as well as inform people about it!

Really slow Note 3

Hi guys,
I just purchased a Galaxy Note 3 a week ago. However, I'm noticing that this phone has a major problem (at least, I consider it a problem). Turning the screen on and off has a bit of a delay.
To show what I mean I made this video in which I use a Desire HD to compare it with.
You can clearly see that the Desire HD turns on and off immediately, however.. the fancy Note 3 has to wake up, make a pot of coffee, read the morning news and then decides to switch on the screen.
Is this just my phone? Do more people experience this? Why does my phone do this?
I don't have a second Note 3 and I'm waiting for somebody to test it with. So I'd like to know how other Note 3 owners experience this.
There are many other things about this phone that really disappoint me, but this is one of the things that annoy me the most.
(p.s. I already tried a factory reset, didn't chance a thing...)
Thanks you for any replies/help.

Something up there mate my phone is on soon as i press the button

my guess is ...
that its "some form of lag" caused by an app ??
have you got Svoice enabled ? /
or otherwise its some "app setting "( eg a launcher/camera )
that power button functions , is also assigned to and causes delay ??
Further have you check Svoice settings ?
it does sometimes cause lag as it waits for second press on "home button "
i disabled it completely /otherwise uncheck in S voice settings.
have you tried to wake phone with home button press,not power button.?( any lag ? )
i use Sview cover to open cover and note 3 wakes up straight away !(use no power button at all )
but if i press power button ,wakes up ....immediately !
same with me pressing home button,wakes up ..immediately.!
(No lag at all .)
(but above then,is my experience in tracking " cuplits/apps " responsible for various lags on my phone
The result is my phone is very, very smooth ,no lags or hiccups....
I have the N9005 ,stock, not rooted .
good luck.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I don't have any launcher apps running. I like to keep things smooth and optimized, so I turn off everything I don't need. No Air Gesture, No Svoice etc.
I've been playing with this the last week, and haven't really been able to find anything.
However, I just wanted to delete some stuff and reset some settings and removed my SD card to be safe. Since I removed the card, it seems the screen reacts a bit faster....
But does that make any sense? Could there be anything that could cause this lag/delay that has to do with the SD card?
My current card is a 16gb class 2. But I can't find any info on why the phone would slow down when a slow SD card is used.... Just doesn't make much sense.
In the meantime I continue testing and trying. Others have said that there might be something wrong with my phone, but when I compare stuff with other Note 3 tests, then it all seems ok. Installing an app takes the same time, opening a heavy app too, starting up is just as fast and even after a full factory reset everything seems to be fine.

Mine has a bit of a delay too...I was wondering if it was only me. With mine it's pretty erratic though - sometimes it takes a full second or so to activate the screen, while other times it comes on almost instantly.
I did notice on many occasions using the home button to wake is quicker, plus it's generally easier to get to one handed.
p.s. do you have the Verizon variant?

Good to read that somebody else noticed this to.
In the mean time I have been testing some more. After disabling almost anything that could have to do with either cpu usage or lockscreen usage, removing the SD card, removing the sim card, deleting many apps and using a very low res image, the phone becomes almost as quick as the Desire HD.
There is still a difference, the Note 3 is still a tiny little bit slower, but it has been improved.
However, if I need to do all this radical stuff to make a 2.3 ghz powerhouse perform the same as a 4 year old 1 ghz calculator.... then this phone is just not worth the money I spent on it.
Very, very dissapointed.
After my testing I applied all my previous settings, apps and such to a phone from my friend. Just like you said (siciliano) there is a noticable delay. An erratic delay, but still noticable. Sometimes it's really quick, other times it's really slow.
My Desire HD has never shown any delay... not even when I'm downloading 5 apps at the same time (which makes it quite slow).
This phone will go on for sale tomorrow. I'm not gonna spent 600 euro on a toy that can't perform the way it should.
p.s. No, it's not a Verizon phone. I bought the phone, without phone-plan or anything. Just the phone itself.

Hi,
I think it's very safe to assume that if you think there's a problem then there likely is. Sometimes you have to turn the question round or switch focus... scratch your head all day about 99 maybes yet you have 1 factor that swings it.
Certainly when it comes to testing leave things out like memory cards or SIMs. Sounds like you have and it's not happy. All might not be lost though. Perhaps the stock firmware didn't load well. Have you tried updating OTA or via Kies or Odin? And was the device bought from a regular vendor?

I just checked mine - same delay. So I restarted it. Now no delay.

@jonty, I got the phone from a well known Dutch re-seller (phonehouse). Unfortunately my results and/or problems seem to be repeatable, which makes me believe that it's not just my phone.
I h aven't used any other ROMs, but I did give it a factory reset (twice in 2 weeks...) and I have swiped the cache. Both did not make a difference.
Even better, right after the reset, the delay is bigger then when I optimize the settings (which means turning pretty much anything and everything off... stripping down the phone via settings).
@Bulbous, how did it take you to get the delay back again. I've tried restarting a few times, but after +/- 5 minutes the delay was the same again.
I just don't understand why a powerhouse like this phone has so much trouble with such a simple thing....
It's like asking Einstein to tell me 1+1=? and then he has to take his calculator out....

If you experience lag like this something is wrong. Note 3 should have no lag at all. I have about 150 user apps adding to the stock apps and have never experienced any lag whatsoever.
If you do, you have fu..ed up your phone somehow..
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

slight delay like 0.5 sec to 1 sec is ok cos it is normal as the phone required to enter deep sleep. (google to understand it)
any more than that might be faulty software or hardware.
if i were to encounter such problem, i will first remove the sdcard and reboot..if not fixed, then format.. without sdcard inserted, reboot and try again.
if not fixed, then i would send to SC ask them check.
the reason i remove sdcard because the phone might still scanning in the background.

Hi,
Although unfortunate it might just be that the device is defective. Although it's new it can still happen.
But before you go the repair/replace route you should at least consider installing any OS updates if there are any and perform a complete wipe. Then see how it performs before installing any memory cards or other software. Perhaps also install a system info app (afterwards) and make sure the chip, cores and other spec are what they should be as fakes do exist.

Can anyone confirm this? This could very well be the problem because I know for a fact my sd card is very old.
I'm gonna buy a new 64GB sd card soon anyway, so I'll make sure it's fast.

I had some delay when turning the screen on/off, but im pretty sure that something was corrected in one of the multiple firmware updates that i have installed because i don't have it any more.

Unlocking screen takes while!

Hey,
Did anyone had a same feeling about unlock a screen?
I use my nexus 5 and time of reaction - click a power button to switch on screen takes not even one second was reacting so fast that I can't even say how fast it was but in case of my new device which is Samsung s5 is takes while longer !!! And I check with power button and home button. Now I don't know if that's problem with my device or some one else have same feeling.

That what i did first and still unlock time take while sometimes not but most of the time is slow reaction from click power/home button to wake up phone takes while is really disappoint

I also just noticed this as well. It started happening after I installed the 32 gig SD card. There is a slight delay when I press the power or home button. It's not drastic, but slightly noticeable. I had the GS2 and never had that. Is this something that can be fixed by software update? Besides that one nuance, this phone is excellent in every way!

Two things after much research!

And I check with power button and home button. Now I don't know if that's problem with my device or some one else have same feeling.

This seem to be a hardware/firmware problem. Some of the remedies that have worked for me are: 1.) Turn off auto brightness. 2.) Use a smaller SD card, 16 gigs or less.
Check your battery graph. Is there a constant blue line underneath the graph, if there is, like on mine, I was told it should not be there! I have heard that the only time the blue line should appear is when the screen is on. I am still researching this information but many heads are always better than one. :fingers-crossed:

Interesting you mentioned using a smaller SD card. I just replaced my 8 gig card for a 32 gig card and that's when I noticed the difference. Why does that affect it though? This phone should be able to handle 128 gigs! I really hope this is software related. I never use auto brightness, so I know for a fact it's the SD card that's causing.

Seems to be a pretty good conclusion.

I think certain class 10 high end cards require a certain amount of power to keep them alive? So when the phone goes to sleep for a period of time and the cpu processes down, maybe not enough power, either battery or cpu is being offered to the card. Since more than half of the programs are partly held by the SD card, upon waking the device it takes a some time for it to reassociate all the files? IDK, this is just my best guess as to the why. However, I tried at the suggestion of a few others a program called SD maid available at the Play store and it really seems to have helped so I bought a license to support the author. I highly recommend this app now. It's a very useful tool and for those with root, even more so!

This is certainly weird, if related to sd cards

[Q] My Problems with Nexus 4

Hi !
These are the problems I am facing on my Nexus 4 device and I would really appreciate if someone kindly let me know as to how I can solve these serious issues plaguing me since almost a month now. ( Nexus 4 running KitKat 4.4.4 )
1. When the phone is in the pocket and I get any notification it naturally wakes up but then supposed to go back to the Sleep Mode like in any phone normally but unfortunately, my phone stays awake and I notice this when I actually feel the phone growing uncomfortably warm in my pocket !
The screen shows multiple pages open and battery draining like anything ! ( after reading some online problems related to this I have deleted WebChat and closed the Daydream function but the problem still persists and it seems I am not the only one facing this problem . )
This has happened many times.
Further, I have no idea if this happened only after the update or not since I have never used Nexus before and besides , my phone is second hand and was already updated to this version when I had purchased.
2. At times when I am rotating my camera from lets say, Landscape to Potrait mode and visa versa to take pictures the image freezes for a heartbeat and becomes normal once again.
Acting as if memory is not enough !
Storage shows 5.75G left. Two movies and music and no games.
No anti virus app but DU Booster. ( also happened before installing the booster app. )
So far, after using this phone for almost a month I am very happy and I love the smoothness of the phone .
To me this is an Andriod version of an iPhone in terms of smoothness and reliability.
In fact, I think it is better in many ways but if these above issues are solved it would encourage me to buy a new Nexus 5 soon which I am sure is much nicer then a 4.
Thank you for your kind assistance and best regards to all.

I assume you've performed a factory reset after having bought it used, is that right?
1. Have you set it up to turn the screen on when a notification is received? It can affect your battery life, especially if it happens to unlock on its own, which I think may be the case if you're reporting "multiple pages open and battery draining like anything"
2. It's quite normal, obviously if the switching time is not THAT annoyingly long. Mine has approximately 40% storage left and sports almost no lag within the camera app, but that fraction of a second is noticeable.

Thanks for your kind reply.
Yes, I did a factory reset.
Let me check the notification status.
With regards to camera when I twist and turn the phone - the image , instead of changing with the position actually ' thinks ', before doing it which means a blurry lag .
I clearly see this from one position to the next.
Further, what I forgot to write and ask was when the phone is in my pocket and I receive an incoming call the screen freezes and I cannot swipe it to unlock and so I have to switch off the power and turn it on and only then swipe and receive the call ! ( I used to get this on a custom ROM on Galaxy S and the Dev gave me this idea and which I apply here too ! )
Thanks again !
