Sometimes the Galaxy S II seems to have a slight delay when waking it by pressing the Home or Power button.
I saw a Thread about it in a german Phone forum where a lot of people reported this. I myself noticed it too. I'm running KE2 with Widgetlocker. I can disable Widgetlocker, it still happens.
If you wake it just after locking, it will be instant. If you wait a couple of seconds you will get a delay when waking the device. But it doesn't behave the same all the time, sometimes it's even instantly when waiting for a few minutes.
Can you guys confirm this?
yeah same problem here. I thought the latest update had fixed it but it still seems to be there
Oh and something other that I noticed, while having the phone connected to my pc, it always wakes up instantly.
prob coz its clock the CPU down while screen is off.

Either that or its the power management when its not being charged.
My lg 2x do not have this delay, should be able to fix in a kernel mod

Great to hear that! I didn't have this either on my Desire and it was clocked down to 200Mhz...
Oh and another thing, can you disable the double Home button press? Because if you press it 1 time you are getting a slight delay because it has to wait if there will be a second press. I don't need the double-press voice Feature.
Hey. 1st post. Been reading for a while, but the wake issue annoyed me too, so I tried WidgetLocker with not much change. PowerAmp's lock widget seems to make it faster, but I found if you lower the res of the wallpaper on your lock screen, the waking is instant, which I recently realised.
I go to interfacelift.com and choose a wallpaper at 1400x900 (or so. Usually a good one for the actual background, so it doesnt really matter much for the lockscreen) save it and open to allow you to change the lock screen wallpaper. It does mean it won't be the nicest image, but it's made my phone waking sooooo much faster.
Cheers
Thanks for that, it appears to work.

have you tried this?
I have tried copying over the modified framework and a low resolution (800x480) solid black wallpaper but no luck.
This is starting to agitate me to be honest. I’ve been telling the guy opposite me at work that S2 is the best phone available at the moment for a couple of weeks now. He ignored me and brought the sensation.
Now he has a phone that switches on immediately when he presses the power, immediately switches to his home screen when he presses the home button and his battery is lasting twice as long as mine.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d still rather have the S2. But as the new toy feeling starts to where off the little things are starting to bother me.
i have the same issue.
Well, i had the same lag at power on.
what i did :
1 change wall paper to a standard one, in the samsung gallery wallpaper. Chose one screen WP... ans applied it to both on lock and screen wallpaper
test, switch it of and on.... No lag
I applied back my large customized wallpaper i had before and applied on screen, didn't touch lock screen cause i use Widgetlock...
Now, no more lag....
It's not a cpu sleep issue, just a bug in lock screen wallpaper in my opinion....
Thanks for the suggestions Cuspide but it didn't help me unfortunatley. I even brought widgetlocker in case it was that.
It is true, it may be a minor problem but it is so annoying.
When using my HD2 with Windows Mobile, the wake up was instant, in fact even with Latitude, Email and Facebook syncs, the battery life was fantastic. HD2 with Android obviously reduced battery life and there was the wake up lag - I thought all these niggles would go with an 'actual' Android phone, but it doesn't seem that way...
I have tried the following with no luck;
- modified framework and CRT animation
- installing SetCPU and putting the governor to performance (and min 1200Mhz)
- setting a lower resolution lockscreen picture (800x480)
I'm hoping it is only software related, and something Samsung will fix very soon.
I believe that it is a mere software issue.
My Desire clocks down to 245Mhz when it's sleeping. And it wakes instantly and clocks back up to 998Mhz. The change is completely unnoticeable.
And the GSII with 1.2Ghz and 1GB of RAM - hopefully this will be fixed in a future update.
This seems to just be a kernel sleep issue.
I would imagine it's fixable in a kernel update.
I've noticed that the delay isn't apparent when the phone is on AC power. Plug your charger in and wake the phone up and it's instant, take it off charge and wake it up and there's the delay again.
it's the sleep policy. open an IM like ebuddy (it voids device to get in sleep policy) and no delay at all
update
hi Guys
has anyone found a way around this. The wakeup delay is very annoying..........
Hi. I've recently noticed more screen jittering and periodic flickers when I'm scrolling. I tend to keep my thumb on the screen and slowly scroll when I'm reading. The problem isn't as bad if I just tap quickly to scroll, but if I do it slowly, text is shaky or almost shimmering.
Anybody else get this effect when scrolling? Opinions on whether this sounds hardware or software related?

Thanks.
depends if you are talking about the home screen or in applications...regardless it is a software issue.
You didn't mention if you have a microsd card installed and how full it is.
Secondly, this is known to happen immediately after reset, and is somewhat normal.
Background apps might also affect performance.
So I noticed the other day that when I was playing NOVA HD on my 10.1 tab, sometimes the control stick would not move immediately when I moved my thumb. I thought it was a problem with NOVA but I just saw it happening again while playing Galaxy on Fire 2. The weird thing is that I can tell that the tablet is registering my touch because the stick lights up slightly to register movement, but it just doesn't move.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anybody know of a fix?
I have experienced lag of touchscreen in almost every graphical application. Just download e.g. writepad and try to draw something. This looks like a severe bug in touchscreen driver in the kernel. I would say that it looks like the touscr3n sampling frequency is too low
Just my 1 useless eurocent

is anyone experiencing lags trying to switch between the tabs in music / contact/phone application or in settings menu?
sometimes the tabs would switch smoothly, but time to time the screen would studder for a bit, and then switch.
i was wondering if this is normal.
my last phone was s3, and it did not have any lag switching between the tabs.
?
also, i was wondering if the youtube videos on g2 would look bit slower normally?
if the picture moves too fast, it tends to studder

It's my opinion that the transition lag is normal. I have been getting it from day 1. I won't call anyone a liar, but the people who say there is no lag whatsoever, are probably exaggerating.
I only got the phone today but noticed there was a system update as soon as I got to the home screen after setting it up, now can't help but feel there's some jittery touch latency issues at random, hard to explain but depending on what your scrolling on sometimes screen lag, hardly noticeable I have a good eye for it, anyone else notice this ?
