Lock lag? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says. When I lock the screen using the power button I get about a 1.5 second lag between when thr button is pressed and the screen goes off. This doesn't happen every time. Any ideas? Also my transitions to .5 keeps resetting itself back to 1! So frustrating

I experience exactly the same lagging while locking the phone. A fix to this solution would be much appreciated! Thank you...

I have the same issues, even when all the fancy settings (watercolor and sounds) are turned off it still lags.

I had that issue as well for a little bit, but it seems to have went away by itself for me.

I had some of the same issues but I noticed when i rooted and did a full wipe of the phone a lot of these small issues went away. One that bothered me was screen rotate. It would take about 2-3 sec to switch.

Same issue here. Although there was at least one instance that i locked the device and it made the lock sound play, but the screen remained on for well over 5-10 seconds. Weird. Might be related to the new packet mode thing this phone has where it uses little power to deliver messages while the screen is off. I forgot the name of it.

I have figured out that if you disable multiple widget lockscreen it makes it turn on/off faster.

I am now experiencing this! When I was rooted on m1 I never had this problem but now that I'm on mj5 rooted it lags horribly on the lockscreen..... But not all the time only every once in a while! Has anyone figured out a fix? I'm contemplating a factory reset!

Stuck on lock screen.... Android 2.1/2.2

So, I downloaded and launched it perfectly... everything so far i tried is working fine except the lock screen... Some times when i press the Cancel key the button lights lid up but there is nothing on the screen and sometimes it appear the lock screen but nothing happen....
Do someone have any solution to this...
Thank you.
I have the same problem. I have been reading that possibly going back to an older kernel / roofs fixes this problem but have not seen and confirmed reports.
Can anyone confirm this and what version?
Thanks
Same problem at me. Both builds are running very fine for some tine but after that are running slow.I don't know why. Maybe is somehow related with the lockscreen problem?
I have this problem as well i get lucky if i manage to move passt the lock screen and the OS runs really slow it takes like 20 seconds just to open the app screen and the app screen laggs like no to morrow how come so menny ppls can get it to run just fine but i cant it makes me sad face
+1 one for me... I have got a TOPA100, it's almost impossible to wake up the device, sometimes the lockscreen is visible, but it's impossible to move the unlock slider. Usually I need about 10 times and something around 5 Minutes to wake up the device.
Same problem here, would be great if this can be fixed...

For me it's the same and the battery runs only for one hour, I think a (system?)process is running with 100% CPU time. I am new to android, so I don't know where to look.
Same here on an AT&T Pure. Sure would love to get this fixed however I'm reasonably noob to the Android world (not completely novice to linux in general, and I have successfully flashed my AT&T TyTN II thanks to this site.) Fixing this would be a huge help!
Thanks
More specifically on my device I encounter. The following:
- Turn screen off via end button.
- Turn on screen via call button.
HW button lights come on for a few seconds then cut themselves off.
Screen does not turn on at this point.
- Turn on screen via call button again
- Screen comes on with HW button lights
about half the time screen is unresponsive and will not all me to unlock with swipe of finger
Other times will accept input and unlock to the home screen
When unresponsive repeating entire process above will likely allow me to unlock successfully.
Thanks!

Phone unresponsive when waking up

Is anyone else having this issue as well I can get rid of it I've tried everything to what happens is sometimes when my phone is asleep tonight wake it up it's completely unresponsive, the screen turns on but I can't do anything other than hit the power button on and off and volume other than that I am stuck on the same screen. Also when I wake up in the morning after charging my phone overnight it is always frozen like this but even worse when it has been more than a few hours. Could this be related to using an alternative home? I have used both launcher pro and adw with the same results. I have never had this with any of my other android phones. Any ideas?

Take it to Verizon and get a switchout.
Before I do that I would like to make sure that it isn't software based otherwise I will just run into the same issue.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
I haven't experienced that issue, but something similar. About once every 2 days my phone won't wake at all. The notification light seems to be working, but pressing the power/lock button doesn't wake the phone, screen stays black and I have to pull the battery. If I call the phone while it's in this state, nothing happens on the Bionic's side, but the phone I calling from hears 4 rings before going to voicemail. I've uninstalled Widget Locker and Home Switcher to see if either of them are the culprit.
awesome, thanks
I would do a factory rest and see if it was a software problem first.

Do you have in pocket detection on under settings? Try turning that off. I was having major issues like that when I was using that setting.

Good advice, the pocket sensor on this phone is borked.

Launcher Pro black screen on D3

Of course, this is about the Droid 3. Mine has had LauncherPro since day one.
I ran into an odd problem, and repeated it on another Droid 3, even with the new system update. I'm getting a random black screen whenever I turn the screen on from being off. It could be a few seconds, could be minutes, hours, or whenever. Slightly moving the "home screen" left or right allows it to show up.
The bottom task bar is unaffected. Any ideas on how/why this would be happening or how to fix it? I've tried various homescreen and behavior settings in LPro, but nothing has solved it.
Thanks,
yes i have this to, I think it is a gingerbread thing, cause I never had this problem on my D2, until after the gingerbread update, I also have this problem on my D3 as well.
Same here

I have this problem too but only when I exit an app.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Same sort of
I also have the dread blank screen (though it's not black, I can see the wallpaper) after exiting apps, especially camera apps, or web apps (e.g.Opera). Sometimes the homescreen stuff does flash on and off, once or more - sometimes bunches. Found that rebooting seems to restabilize things, but it is becoming more annoying over time.
Anyone out there got solution?
I usually just swipe to another home screen. That fixes it (temporarily).
the only time i have this issue is when i first turn the phone on. everything boots up, i swipe the unlock screen and get the black screen with the launcher and everything below in tact. i shift the screen a little to get it to show up and i dont see it again until the next reboot. i never see the issue while switching apps or anything like that. i have arctic grey theme if that says anything to the issue, tho it never really bothered me that much. i could see it getting annoying if it happened all the time.

Quick List of Gripes

Had my S5 since launch day so I'm pretty comfortable with the overall feel and navigation of the device (came from a Note 3, miss the size but I'll get over it)...however, I do have some issues with the phone and if you know any trick to eliminate these issues or if you at least know what causes these issues, please let me know..these issues taint an otherwise great experience compared to my S4 last year.
1. Serious lag when pressing power button, home button, or opening up S-View cover to wake screen...literally takes 4-6 seconds to come on
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
Other than that, I'm pleasantly surprised at battery life, never had wifi speeds like this before, screen looks great, S-View cover is still the sh*t, my fingerprint scanner works flawlessly, camera is really impressive, navigation has virtually no lag at all, and thank you Samsung for Private Mode...no more garbage Gallery Lock applications...
Sounds like you've got a bad device, I've got no lag at all, including when opening the s-view case. Might want to switch it out for another while you can.

1. Serious lag when pressing power button, home button, or opening up S-View cover to wake screen...literally takes 4-6 seconds to come on
no lag at all here, smooth and fast, pry the first time I've ever used a stock Android device that's this smooth and fast out of the box.
edit: not sure of s-view cover as I don't use it, I use a Khomo Slim on my Tab3 8.0 and it's pretty quick waking up, just checked and it's like a second or so to wake up.
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
no issues here either
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
not sure as I'm using GoLauncher Prime and loose the Sammy widget, trying to find another good one as I have Beautiful Widgets Pro from before but haven't installed after seeing all the complaints about it now on newer devices
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
no problem here either, was fine for me on stock keyboard, switched to swiftkey though since I own it
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
again no issue here, pretty much instant for me

Ah, the patented power button and home button lag. I remember them well from my Note 3. Samsung fanboys will try to tell you that it doesn't happen, but they are in denial. The Note 3 was the fastest Samsung device I have owned and it still did it. And the power button lag drove me mad.
Only issue i seemed to be having is that the display doesn't seem to be flush so I'm collecting dust on the top already.

No lag here and certainly no 2 second delay for recent apps. But then again, I'm sure it's just because I'm a Samsung fanboy who's in denial.

Every time there's some kind of reported lag/delay for a device, there are always a handful of people with the device (thus invested in it and in need of validation for their purchase) who insist that the lag doesn't exist, even when every single review and blog site confirms it.
I wouldn't say that the multitasking lag is 2 seconds, but it's definitely there. It was mentioned in a few professional reviews and I confirmed it myself on a display unit. It's not a horrendous delay, but it's definitely not as instantaneous as it is on other phones. It may be that it's waiting to confirm that the button isn't being held for the secondary function (menu), which is the perils of using one button for multiple functions.
On my Note 3, sometimes the power button would work as expected and other times, you'd push it and it would be a full 2-3 seconds before the device would turn on/off. Even after I disabled every single service I didn't need/want, it persisted. I would love to think that Samsung eliminated all of these little delays, but the reality is that they need to rewrite Touchwiz from the ground up and optimize it.

Fanboy my a$$, also have an iPhone 5 and 5S. I have no lag with multi or home, maybe a split fraction of a second just like my iPhone (just as responsive as them) , guess I'll have to get a vid to prove it
If the split second is considered lag, then our iPhone 4S/5/5S are laggy too
I'm not saying the phone is garbage, just that it'd be nice for this phone to be close to the M8 in terms of reaction...anyone who has messed with an M8 will tell u that the moment you press something it comes up, zero lag, zero waiting for extra input.
However, I'll sacrifice that for imo a better overall phone.

No real lag for me. 1/2 a second or so it seems.
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
Haven't seen this issue on mine at all
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
This drives me nuts! I thought it was just me!
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
Works good for me. I so far haven't felt the need to go back to swiftkey which has been my go-to for nearly 2 years
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
Takes about the same amount of time it takes the screen to power up from hitting the power button. 1/2 second or so.
I think I'd be visiting a store ASAP if your phone is having these lag issues. Have read a few reports about this but I haven't really seen it on my device so far.
Has anyone experienced app crashes lately? My phone has been working great for days now, then today it seems like every app in open crashes and stops responding. It will lock up my phone and won't stop until reset.

I have a quick gripe, I could be missing something though.
There is no real indication that I see if I am on wifi or not.
It still says 4g and the status bar doesn't seem to change unless I am missing something.

The wifi signal icon shows you are on wifi....
Oh then something is wrong with my phone or there is a setting that needs to be adjusted,
I do not see the wifi symbol anywhere
Turning wifi on and connecting it is the only thing you should have to do.
I can confirm multitasking and wake up lag.

Finally it works, I dont know if it helped, but I cleared cache, restarted and forgot and reconnected to wifi and now icon is back.
I honestly have no lag what so ever on practically anything. I am using Nova Launcher though if that changes anything. Swype is ****ty though, I just want root...

The only lag i experience is through Samsung apps and multitasking button. I'm guessing it's because it is waiting for a hold. Just like if you disable s voice on home key your back to home response time is much faster.

nook hd + screen acts like its haunted

anyone have their nook hd + start acting like it haunted? while reading a book pages turn back and forth by itself. watching a youtube video and it starts doing its own thing. entering and exiting apps???

Sent from my SCH-i705 using XDA Premium HD app
yes i cleaned the screen off and all my finger prints. I was doing some reading and some people say that they had the same problem and they said something about holding the power button for 20 seconds and then holing it for 2 seconds to turn it on. I tried that but it still eventually did the same thing. I also read some people said that once they put a screen protector on it seemed to help. What do you think?? Have you had this problem at all. I cant return it to B & N since its rooted and was purchased off craigslst. Is this a known issue?
When mine gets weird and I get phantom finger presses just shutting the screen off and turning it back on fixes it. Usually happens after long game sessions.

This is the only problem I have with my nook HD+, but I am getting close to finding the problem.
I have managed to get dmesg to print out when the problem is occurring, and that isn't easy when it wants to start doing random presses !
Every time this problem occurs I see the same thing:
lowmemorykiller: killing 'ndroid.settings' adj 1000 to free 19712KB on behalf of 'kswapd0' because cache 85116KB is below limit 86016KB for oom_score_adj 12
free memory is 5568KB above reserved
When the crazy screen presses start happening lowmemorykiller begins closing all sorts of things one immediately after another, and then crashes out with a negative memory available like :
-58329KB available
I'm guessing there is a memory leak somewhere.
I've been getting phantom touches since upgrading to CM 11 (6/16 build and up), although I left the Touch & Hold delay to its stock "short" setting when I upgraded, so not a good experiment. (Two variables.)
For me, a web page will register a "click" while browsing with my thumb hovering about an inch over the screen.
I have "show touches" enabled, but I don't see a touch.
I have a screen protector. (Have had it for months.)
For now, I'm setting the Touch & Hold delay to Medium as a work around.
