Wakeup lag - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if there's a rom that fixes the wakeup lag on the phone. I do believe it must be software related so it should be possible to fix it. I already tried wakelock, but this really drains the battery.
I also tried a few "jellybean"roms, but the problem still persits. I really love my phone, but I dont understand why everytime I want to use my phone I need to stare at a black screen for a while before it wakes up.
Thanks,

No idea either mate but my phone shows the screen instantly when I hit the home button. Maybe energy saving mode on or some apps causing lag?
You could try to back up everything and then wipe your device.

+1 on the instantly turning on

Really? Got to check on that. Thanks. It really confirms it's not the hardware!

screen inverted / negative mode - randomly?

Anyone had this problem?
Randomly I'll wake my phone and it'll be in negative mode (where all the colours are inverted). I can fix it back selecting negative mode, then going back to normal, but it's very annoying!
Many thanks
Maybe you're using Siyah kernel and pressing the home button four times.

SiyahKernel v3.2.7.2
new feature: mDNIe negative effect toggling via home button. press it 4 times to toggle. I hope you will find it useful for web browsers with white background.

Unbelievable! Thanks, I didn't know it had that 'feature'
How annoying. Thank you
Hi, I was wondering if it could be disabled ?
bump, I also want to disable this annoying feature too. Every times my son plays the phone, he returns with negative effect... everyone scare! I just learn today it is a never use feature.

Of course you can. Just read the thread or search into it.
In ExTweaks you can disable it.

S3 screen continuously turns on and off when in idle mode

I have a general problem with all samsung mobile phones from s2 and note to s3
The screen continuously turns on and off when in idle mode that drain phone battery fast and I had no reason to do something like that
Any one could help?
must be because of something you did on all these phones.
- rooted?
- custom rom?
- separate custom kernel?
- weird apps?
- some badly made cover/case that inadvertently presses the power button regularly?
what happens on screen when it is turned on? just the unlock screen or ..??

it's not rooted or custom rom it's the original rom
weird apps I don't really know about this
cover/case not installed
it's only lighten up like when press home key the pattern appear and then turn off again
I've had all the Galaxy S line of phones. Never seen this kind of behavior. Especially if your not flashing anything. Take it back.

I had this problem with my S3 2 weeks ago.
Turns out that the "Super Mario Bross" game was causing this.
Install BetterBatteryStats to see whats is causing this problem. :good:

Thanks, but is this APP will mention or analyze what is the APP that is behind this or it will just save battery?

It gives you a detailed report of whats constantly using the battery and keeping the phone awake, called wakelocks.

What variant are you on? Are you on Pie stock firmware or Oreo? Try Refurbish of both.
Remove Naptime, see if it goes away. Remove all "battery saver" apps and stuff like that until it goes away. Then you can add them back.
Tried removing every app one by one..
Even naptime too
Default theme
One thing is last..that is i have to set default launcher instead of lawmchair...

If the one person with the most knowledge of, and offers the most help with this phone doesn't recommend Pie, that should tell you something.
Having the exact same issues @shirso.it7 .
Did you ever solve it? ?
For anyone with the same issue, installing SOD Killer has solved it for now. Not a perfect solution, but hey.....

FlashLight Turns on automatically

My Flash Light automatically turns on every few minutes (at random time). The "Flash Notification" is turned off. This problem is draining my battery. It does it always, even when the phone is idle. I cant figure out what triggers the flash light. I tried starting my phone in safe mode, but the problem persists. I dont want to RESET my phone right now (for some special reasons). How can I fix it? Is there anyway I can pinpoint the process that is triggering the flashlight? (my phone is Samsung S6 Edge)
Using stock or custom rom??
Turn off gesture control!

Thank u for the reply bro, its STOCK ROM, I have never flashed it. I m really helpless now. I wish there is some kinda process identifier which can show me which program or process actually turns on the light.

Thank u for the reply, I have never messed with any setting and it has never been this way. Its Samsung S6 Edge, there is no off-screen gestures kinda thing but I turned off all the Edge Screen settings. Its been happening for 6 months. I have not installed any untrusted apps.

Question Hey google not responding with screen off or locked?

Hey google not responding with screen off or locked?
Tried enabling in the settings, still only works when phone is active?.
I have same problem ... It works only on lock screen, not when screen is black. So for example if I have accident and cannot move my arms, then I cannot use assistant to call for help, because I need to push power button (or double tap screen) first . This is very sad, just imagine how many people dieded because they could not call for help .
LOL, im sure it will get fixed, glad its just not me.
Did they remove the BOOST charge option for you to?

I never heard of boost option what is that ..
In charge setting there was an option called BOOST MODE, i was getting 18 min charge with it on, now its 21-22 mins, not a big difference really, just wondered where it went.

Lolxx.. This is too much
LOL, yeah it probably will not get fixed for a while if ever, its a satey net issue.
God dam annoying though.
A neat workaround is if you have a smartwatch, it still works on that.
