[Q] Galaxy S GT-i9000M Wake Delay

I've had this problem on pretty much any Froyo build I've installed (tried Doc's, Darkys, etc).
When I press a button (power or home) to wake the phone up, I get a 10 second delay before the lock screen appears. The only time I don't get this delay is when the phone is charging: in that case, it wakes up instantly.
I tried using SetCPU, but it didn't make any difference for me.
I've followed the install steps to a T, and I still get this. This never happened on my Captivate (I have both), and I've flashed numerous ROMs without any problems on the Captivate.
Any thoughts?
As a side note, the ROMs are usually very fast and smooth. I'm currently on Darky's Legendary Steel ROM, v4.0 and aside from the wake up lag, the ROM is very smooth and fast, and this is without having applied any lagfix (used his SpeedMOD version). This is what makes the delay I'm experiencing all the more confusing.
Its a kernel bug, although I thought all the devs had it fixed on froyo.
Try another kernel

Thanks I'll give that a shot. Do you have a particular kernel you know for a fact doesn't have that bug?
Try one from hardcore

Tried two from Hardcore, neither of them have fixed the problem. I'll keep trying others.
Does a stock rom do this?

No, stock ROMs work just fine.

pls explain what happened before this? what did you install/do?
I never installed anything buddy turned it of last night before i went to sleep woke up played a game then went to work now i have this problem

That's a known problem with the totally unstable P1010. The only thing that helps temporarily is to completely reset the damned thing.
The best you can do is to return this crappy pad. The hardware is good the software is completely buggy and the Samsung support is completely clueless.
try button savior from market if you don't want to factory reset

Try this, be shure that you are using the default launcher, put the usb in KIES conection mode, connect to KIES on the PC, disconect from KIES and restar the device.
The home button should work after this. It seems to be a common problem in the P1010, a lot of people are reporting this problem, and I have suffered my self.
For a lot of people the Kies fix works, so try it before a factory reset.
After 4 weeks getting repaired I asked for my money back and got a 7510 much better thanks for the help guys

Gps problem

I did search the forum but nothing match my case.
I'm using P1000N, gingerbread homberos kernel custom ROM Overcome Hermes.
For one week after flashing custom ROM my GPS work perfectly until it someday it can't lock location anymore. I try GPS test and found that my GPS can't catch any satellite.
I tried flashback to GB stock rom and it works.
Reflashing overcome and again it refuses to lock the sattellite.
Any idea what idea going on guys?

Try flashing the newest version of overcome, kratos, and tell me if it works.

Ok. I flashed kratos and now it works. Thank you..

Might be a hardware problem... Never had any problems with mine and I tend to use it a lot...
Try checking the Overcome website under tips and tricks. There is whole section on gps settings. It made a night and day difference on mine.
I've been using Kratos 4.0.0 for some time, and my GPS is good one week and then the next week it's completely gone.
It's hit or miss from day to day.
Today I did a complete reload with Safe V5 GB, Pit, and T mobile modem only.
Then the Kernel
Then the Rom.
Angry GPS setting reset and the GPS is just not working. I use my GPS all day ever day, the Tablet sits right on my dash.
any help is good help. Thanks & Happy Holidays!

[Q] Proximity sensor issue

Hello everyone,
I have an annoying issue with the proximity sensor of my Galaxy Note. I have searched around but I can not find any answer to this common problem.
Regardless of the rom I am using, including the stock rom, the sensor fails to work - so the screen is not turning off during calls even though this setting is enabled.
Also, I have tested the proximity sensor using the tools on android app market as well as testing with the inbuilt one - always reads 0.
Any idea how to proceed? I am sure this would help a lot of people...
Have you tested it using the *#0*# and test the proximity there. May be a hardware failure

I did test it there. I get the same problem - just reports 0.
Does that basically mean the sensor is dead?
May be

[Q] System Time Issue (Inconsistent Time)

The system time in my galaxy ace s5830 is not working properly. This happens everytime I reboot my phone. Eg. when I switch off my phone at 11pm, after reboot the time goes backward to say 4pm. This happened to me at least 5 times, I even demonstrated in front of my friends so that I'm sure I'm not crazy. I had everything off, wifi off 3g off gps off automatic time off, literally everything except my screen is off.
Any suggestion on how to fix this problem? Running S'perience Rom BE kernel with sd int-ext+ on class 4 sd card.

Keep automatic time on. Select proper time zone or else install alternate date & time app from play store. OR reflash the rom!
Hit thnx if helpd
Sent from my STACKED ACE
Thanks for some of the useful methods. Alternate apps do not have anything to do with the system time. I tried reflashing the rom but still the same issue. I set the time zone to be in my region already, but did not do the automatic time zone adjustment because I do not have internet connection nor using wifi.

I think it is a common bug in CM10.x roms, so you can set it manually, I faced this problem too in severals CM10.x roms
It is a problem in CM10 roms. Use network time, turn off network time zone and set it manually.

Do you have the same issue other roms? If you don't, it's an issue with your current rom.
