Wake delay issue

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..........

[Q] How do I disable orientation-initiated screen sleep?

I'm not sure if I'm describing this correctly in the title so let me try and elaborate -
I've used probably 10-15 different ROMs for my Nexus 10 and lately every single one I try, I have the same issue when I have the screen titled down horizontally towards me while reading in bed ( think holding it up while lying on my back, angled down at me so I can read ), where the screen blacks out/goes to sleep.
Then I have to tilt it back so it's vertical again and sometimes it puts me at the lock screen but more often I have to hit the power button to get the lock screen back, infuriatingly I then sometimes get stuck in a loop of hitting power to get to lock screen as it's going back to lock screen so then it kills the display again so then I have to hit power again etc etc. Once the screen is back and displaying everything is fine until some random amount of time ( between 5 seconds & 5 minutes ) when the screen just goes black again - presumably when I move/adjust my position or the angle of the screen.
Anyway - I believe this is version independent, I don't think it's the ROMs, it's like it's something built-in to the OS.
The only thing I can figure is it's either related to the accelerometer detecting that I'm tilting the tablet horizontally so the screen is facing down and thus it is killing the display, OR it's the light sensor detecting a darkening of the light since I would be angling the screen away from a direct light source and so it kills the screen thinking I'm placing it face down on a table.
Possibly related - I've also noticed since 4.2.2 ( maybe coincidence ) that I can't rotate my screen 180 degrees and be able to unlock the device. No matter what, if I flip that sucker around it instantly kills the display and locks the screen. I've got auto-rotate on, so I know that's not the issue, and if I hit the power button to get the lock screen up, then unlock it INSTANTLY locks again and kills the screen. It's like there's a setting now that says I CAN rotate if I want to but there's no point because I can't actually unlock the screen to do anything. Keep in mind this ONLY happens when flipping it 180 - if it do it 90 or 270 and have it vertical there is no issue, it is literally only when it is flipped 180 that this occurs.
Am I over thinking this or is there something really, really obvious I'm missing? I've gone over every setting I can think of and the only thing remotely screen related is the sleep timer but it doesn't matter how long I make it or if I even turn it off entirely - every time I get into bed to read I have to mash the power button to get the screen going again. It's minor in the grand scheme of things but it is incredibly frustrating when all I want to do is read before going to sleep, just stay open damn it !

I hate to shameless bump this but does anyone know what I'm talking about? If I tilt my N10 past a certain degree ( I want to say it's around 30 degrees or so ) the screen just goes to sleep, how do I stop this? I've used a ton of different ROMs so it seems to be something consistent and/or a fundamental "feature" of JellyBean and/or Android in general.

If nothing else, I would say it rather "seems" to be a hardware issue, because I've never seen this behavior on my own device. That said, I can't say I've heard of many people talking about this either.

Thanks for replying! Good point - I've just assumed it wasn't something specific to MY N10 because I can't imagine why it would happen from a hardware perspective since it's never been damaged ( dropped, scuffed ) in any way. Unless I just got a bad egg with a faulty accelerometer or light sensor or something, which is also possible.
I suppose if no one else is experiencing this and it's isolated to me and is ROM independent than it must be hardware. Either that or when I'm laying in bed I generate large bursts of electromagnetic activity that cause it to think I've closed the "smart" cover. :cyclops:

Screen Timeout
I don't know if any of this matters, but I am just curious.
What is your Screen Timeout setting? Have you tried increasing this? Do you have it set to lock screen upon pressing the power button? Have you tried changing it? Do you use a pattern lock, pin code, other?

My screen timeout is set to 10 minutes, though it doesn't seem to matter what I set it to - I just set it to 30 and the same thing happens after a second of tilting it.
I have screen lock via slide, but while I do lock/kill the screen via pressing the power button I just realized I've never actually set it to do this. I guess I thought it was a built-in feature - I've just gone through all the settings I have ( currently using FlamingMonkey AOSP ROM for reference ) and I don't see any option anywhere to enable/disable this feature. :S
Maybe there is an issue with my power button and when I tilt the tablet it jiggles it enough that it "presses" down and locks?

Use ultimate rotation control from store and force the lockscreen to landscape at all times.

I think that you are on the right track. The option to lock the screen on hitting the power button is under the Security settings for stock android. It should be there for your ROM too.
I constantly hit my power button when sitting it down or picking it up. That is why I disable the instant lock option.

Screen Rotation Too Sensitive.... Anyone else?

I notice this while trying to put it on my desk or one hand typing texts, it seems the auto rotate sensitivity is too high. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there some way to "turn it down" so you can turn the phone more before it auto rotates? I know I can turn it off, but I use it in Chrome and YouTube and probably couple more apps.
Thanks!

No issues here with it , guess you could set to landscape / portrait manually , few apps can do it in the play store

I've considered manually doing it, guess just being lazy. It just wants to rotate way too soon for me, it may be my posture or something causing it. Not a bad idea, maybe I can find a widget to easy swap manually.

I've noticed it too. Although I'll take that over too much lag in it rotating when I want
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

No doubt about that!! For me it's right on the cusp of no issues. May just need to hold the phone slightly different to correct it.

I saw Xposed was released for 6.0. Does anyone know of anything for it that would allow this sort of adjustment?

I thought Android 6.0.1 will solve it... But it didn't
Is this a hardware issue? I think not. Sensors data look fine. So I do think it is a software issue. Hoping Google will sort this out

Yeah, I think so, too. I turned off autorotation. I found I like the experience better.

I too find it too sensitive. I used Tasker to limit the rotating on all except a few apps on my last phone but I haven't done it on this phone. You just made me think of it. I can't say yet that it will work. Worth a try.

I do not want to manually set the rotation every time I want to watch a video or a picture I just taken. This is silly.
The auto rotation works great on iphones & on previous Nexus devices. The experience is important.
If only there was an app that can bias the tilt sensitivity like there are apps for brightness sensitivity

Thanks for this, I added a comment in it and voted as well. I turn the screen rotation off when needed (like for Chrome use). Always forget to turn it back on till it rotates without wanting it too.

here is a quick video I did to illustrate the issue:

I'm gonna start a thread in Help/Q&A and post a reddit article I found that solved the issue for me. Using the device with one hand it would always rotate when I reached for the far corner and was bugging the hell out of me... The solution involves Tasker.

Screen rotation issues

Hey guys. Just got my oneplus 5 and I love it. My only issue is how aggressively it goes from portrait to landscape. I tilt it not even 30 degrees and it goes into landscape which gets very annoying, fast.
Anyone experiencing this issue? Any fixes or ways to calibrate?

So I'm the only one who has the screen going to landscape all the time, with the slightest of tilts? Do I have a faulty device?

To reproduce the issue just take another phone and watch a YouTube video in portrait mode. Put both phones side by side and start tilting. The OnePlus 5 will switch to Landscape mode before the phone is horizontal. My s8+ only switches when my phone is in horizontal position.

Yeah i don't keep my rotation on all the time so I just checked it. Mine is fine too 45 degrees. Once I go more then that, it flips.

Could be your device

hi,
got my phone last week and have the same agressive behavior. Hope an update will fix that

There's actually a thread on the oneplus forum about it. I think it could be related to the inverted display #jellygate

same here, it's about the calibration of the orientation sensor... just stop it with the inverted display thing, i think the engineers at OnePlus know better than some of us about tech, they didn't do it unintentionally

Can confirm this is happening to me too. The rotation is extremely sensitive

Touch Screen Unresponsive

I don't expect there's much that can be done if the hardware is to blame. This reminds me of my Galaxy S3 -- so it's a problem that everyone else fixed ages ago. When I touch the touchscreen, very very often, it doesn't register that touch at all. Sometimes you get a delayed response. This leads to all kinds of fun where you tap the screen again at the same moment that PH-1 responds to your first touch, so it applies your second tap to whatever is going to come up on the screen a half second later.
Does anyone know if this can be fixed by firmware updates or is this a hardware issue?

same here! my huawei honor 8 is much faster

Touch Screen unresponsive is a hardware issue. I had the same problem with my HTC U11 until it was replaced. Essential phone does not have this issue assuming screen is working properly.
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Touchscreen responsiveness, having to tap more than once for the screen to register a touch and awful light bleed caused me to send it back. But it was from the first batch that were manufactured. No issues on my U11, but I bought it in early August.

Confirming u installed the most recent OTA (NMI64C)? Because that fixed my touch issues.

Yep that's what I currently have. I think the phone found that update on its own a few days ago. Touch issues seem to be hit or miss and maybe less frequent since that update. We'll see how it goes from here.

touch unresposive is due too thermal trottling or like me the launcher stock.
Solved with Evie launcher

Using a different launcher and such didn't help me out, unfortunately. Besides the tap issues, scrolling through a web page in any browser or with apps was extremely slow and laggy. My PH-1 was already being returned, so I couldn't test the latest software update they pushed out. But my device also had some horrible light bleed all along the left and right edges.

No light bleed here. But [email protected], the responsiveness of this touch screen is worse than any other phone I've had. And the new software update hasn't helped at all!...

Same issue!
I too am having touch screen issues. Today, I was on the phone and went to go back to the screen and the screen stays black. I tried everything including pressing the power button and I got no response from the phone whatsoever. The only thing that finally worked was to press the power button and the volume down button and hold them at the same time to shut my phone off after the call already ended. In addition to that issue , I also use Swipe to type and when I do so it often skips over letters and types words that I am not even trying to type . It should be mentioned that I'm a very experienced swipe user and I have not had this problem with my S7 Edge or my Wellington . Also, I should mention that I have the most recent OTA. Also, has anyone else noticed that the camera shutter has a serious delay in it even with the Google camera mod?

I've noticed my touch screen freaking out sometimes. It has more to do with the screen having too many prints on it. Guess it's a bit too sensitive. I wipe the phone screen off and it's fine. Doesn't happen very often. I have one of the latest batches, pure white.

Already looked into this?
Sensitivity:
1. Tap on the "Settings" icon on the home screen.
2. Tap "Language and Input".
3. Scroll to the very bottom of these settings and tap "Pointer Speed".
4. Increase the slider to make the touch screen more sensitive and easier to tap. Decrease the slider to make your touch screen less sensitive and more difficult to tap.
5. Tap "OK" and then experiment with the results.
Essential Support still working on that and they send me this instructions for now.
I think it makes the user experience better.

Had it on both versions to be honest, but hoping it's getting resolved as time goes on!

Just got mine..same thing but...
My screen was doing fine until i installed "All in one gestures". I was messing around with side gestures and this caused the screen to be non-responsive. I un-installed the app, reinstalled it and set it up differently and now it is fine.
I hope this helps.

This helped me. I have mine set at approximately 3/4 and I'm happy one day in. Seems to work great now. I would still like smoother scrolling though. Thanks a million.
I was also having trouble with Android Pay and then found a post about the NFC being located near the bottom of the phone as opposed to the top as on my Nexus 6p.
With these problems fixed I'm completely pleased with this phone.

ugh! Flashed back to stock on 7.1.1/NMJ32F/436 as that is how my phone came, and now I have no touchscreen after re-boot?!?!?! any advice? Please?
Thanks,
