Hello!
So after having this phone for about a month, and I realized that after rooting and lagfixing, when I press the power button there's still a bit of a pause before the screen pops up. After this got lagfixed shouldn't this have gone away?
I've had a couple people that own this phone who have rooted and hacked it so that they're experiencing instant screen wakes on power button presses, and they get higher scores on Linpack than I do, however Quadrant scores are the same as everyone else's at roughly 2200.
Does anyone know why my screen isn't instantly waking on a power button press? It's kind of a pain in the butt, heck, my girlfriend's Vibrant will instantly wake and it isn't even rooted...
I have the following setup that COULD affect things -
Live Wallpaper
ADW Launcher
Advanced Task Killer
Two Widgets - BatteryLeft and Beautiful Weather Widget
ANY ideas on how to boost the performance? At all?
Thank you!

I'm not sure if this is normal or just something I've messed around with. My phone keeps shutting down in my pocket because the power button is fully functional even while the phone is locked, so long pressing it turns my phone off.
I've had the phone for months but the issue came up just recently. I have WidgetLocker enabled and
Im not sure if this hass something to do with me using the "Disable Stockholms Lock Screen" option. I've already tried disabling Easy Wake and disabling WidgetLocker but nothing seems to help.
Is this normal or have I done something stupid with my device? And if it's just me being an idiot can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Im using Cognition 1.31 and the newest WidgetLocker
Sounds normal.
If the power button is pressed for ~10seconds, or something like that, the phone powers off, no matter what the opinion of the running OS about the matter is (i.e. the OS can't prevent it).
It's a hardware trigger, kind of an "emergency off" for situations where a clean shutdown isn't possible for whatever reason.
So you better see that nothing pushes on that power button while the phone is in your pocket.
Alright thank you. It is necessary to have a way to shut the phone down with an actual button but it would be better if it was two or three buttons that have to be pressed at the same time. I just can't figure out why I haven't had my phone shutting down before. Maybe the power button has loosened so it needs less force to be pushed
I didn't realize that you had to be holding the power button AND home button down, with screen off, to reboot.
Feel free to close/delete/etc. this thread...

I have a quick question -- the touchscreen on my touchpad (Alpha 3) became unresponsive and does not become so after re-locking and unlocking the screen. The tablet itself is responsive (still updating time, can use hard buttons to change volume, see recent apps, and bring up the reboot/etc. options), but to my knowledge there is no way to force a shutdown using the hard buttons. Am I correct in this?
The battery is at 34%, so it shouldn't take too long to kill it if I keep the screen on a lot....
Thanks!
Thanks, that worked for me!
Just bought, rooted and flashed the aokp rom. I went under sound and enable vibrate on touch, but when i pressed the 3 menu buttons it wont vibrate at all like in the store. Only when i select widget does it vibrate, any idea on how to enable haptic feedback?
Haptic feedback on the Prime can be pretty weak for most actions, so it might simply be that it's turned on (you've selected the right setting) but not noticeable. I've noticed myself that I can most feel feedback when manipulating home screen items and certain other tasks (like selecting photos in the Gallery app).
Most of the time, I can't feel the feedback when doing things like hitting the buttons. It's also quite inconsistent.
Whats weird though is that i tried it at bestbuy and when i press the home button i can actually feel it vibrate, but nothing is happening right now so maybe its because of the rom?
I'm new to the V10 -- my old beloved Note 4 was quickly unravelling so I traded it in for this phone. Other than the loss of the stylus, I quite like it. The second screen is neat. The fingerprint scanner works much better than the Note 4's ever did. All in all I'm fine with it.
(Haven't rooted it yet. Eventually.)
I have run into an issue that's a little confounding, though. Occasionally -- about once a week since the last OTA update -- the screen will "sort of" freeze. By "sort of" I mean the phone is obviously still running (I can turn the display on and off) but I'm unable to navigate by touch. The UI elements don't respond, I can't swipe away windows, I can't access notifications...
...my Note 4 used to do this occasionally, and what I'd have to do is long-press the power button for 8-10 seconds, which would force it to turn off, then turn it back on, and life would go on. The V10 doesn't do that -- when I long-press the power button for 8-10 seconds, I get that stupid V10 voice control program (I call it stupid because it hilariously misinterprets my voice commands - my daughter and I basically turn it on whenever we want to be amused by a big dumb phone). In short, there seems to be no way to force the phone to shut down through hardware other than pulling the battery... which is what I wind up doing, but it's weird that there's no way to force a shutdown with the power button.
Is there a way to change this in the settings anywhere? Or would I need to root the phone and load a custom rom for that?
Thanks for any help you can provide...
Try long pressing the power button and the volume down at the same time...that works for me
I can remove and put the battery back in faster than i can long press to reboot.
Also a factory reset after an ota is recommended. It might fix the freezing problem.
Anyone else notice this? It's somewhat annoying when I'm on the phone and just want to glance at the date, time, see if I got an email, etc and its just dark. The home button is still there hiding, so I just wake it up that way or hit the power button, but I'm positive this never happened on the S8+ I had.
