One annoyance with my SGS2 (rooted, KE7) is that it takes a couple of seconds to turn on the screen when I press the power button. I've heard that this is because the CPU needs to wake up from a power saving mode. Is this true? Can it be disabled? If so, what impact does it have on battery life?

I don't think it has anything to do with power saving mode - All Android devices enter this mode without problems waking up.
My theory is it's related to the voice command functionality. When you press the home button while the phone is awake, theres a similar delay in order to detect a double tap (to enter voice command mode). I think there's a bug in which this delay affects waking the device as well.
In power saving mode i enabled the "turn off sync"
but it seems that when power saving mode should be turned off (after charging) the auto sync doesn't turn back on, and i need to do it manually
any ideas?
just like the screen dim timeout stays at 15 seconds instead of the proper value before power saving mode
seems to be buggy in general

probably the power saving mode isn't really being turned off..
it says "turning off power saving mode" when you connect the charger ...

Hi ,
i'm having some problems with my Galaxy S3 - I9300

I too would like to know if that is possible
Ive found out that its possible to disable the WAKE function for the power button. This will disable the power menu, but you can still hold the button down for like 6sec and it will shutdown... :-\

No way
Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I want to be able to wake/sleep my phone with the power button, but don't want anyone to be able to access airplane mode or turn the phone off. I have a HTC Desire S, and when that's locked, the power button does absolutely nothing except switch the screen on, which is what I want to happen. As the S3 currently functions this is a maor issue for me, because if anyone finds/steals my phone, there is nothing turning on Airplane mode immediately, at which point my phone becomes unrecoverable.
This seems like a limitation/oversight of touchwiz, is there no way at all I can get the S3 to behave like the Desire?

It's not like there's something stopping them from turning it off (hold the button, it's wired in the hw, impossible to disable) or simply taking out the sim card

It's wired into the hardware? Are you sure about that? The power button on my HTC does absolutely nothing if you press the power button (for any length of time) while the phone is locked. In my opinion it would be software that controls the function of the button.
You make a good point about the sim though - that an the battery being removed would stop me from finding it.
However the main thing I'd like to disable is the airplane mode function from the lockscreen as it literally takes no time at all to do. At least the other methods require a little bit more effort, and the scum that steal phones aren't usually known for their intelligence, so I can always cling to the hope they won't think about taking the back off (since so many phones nowadays have inaccessible guts) to remove the battery or sim, at least not immediately.
Is there anyone who can help with this?

I don't think it's any more difficult to steal the phone by diabling the powerbutton functions, but I would still really like to find a way of disabling this function. Although it's meant as an easy way to enter reboot, shutdown and turning on/off misc functions, I don't mind unlocking the phone to do the same things through the slidedown menu.
I just don't like the fact that the phone actually can be turned off by holding a button down for x-amount of seconds, or even open up a menu that lets anyone change the status of the phone. When it's locked it is locked to prevent accidental changes when the phone is in my pocket AND to prevent people from accessing any options, unless they pull the battery and boot to download or recovery.
The powerbutton and the home menu should be allowed to wake the phone up, so that you can read widgets/missed events/the time or whatever, but never let anyone do anything before they enter the correct pattern/password or whatever security is enabled.
Hope that this can be fixed. Been searchin around for weeks after this and would really like to see someone assist us with this issue.
Its a build not a fix wait for SGS4 and see if its been added .
Personally if i had to enter pinlocks as you suggest i would not want this phone .
Development sometimes putting up a large bounty or donating a SGS3 may kick start a modification .

Is there any way to turn this stupid feature off? I have Power Saving mode OFF (which is where the "turn of haptic feedback is") and when my battery gets to 10% it forces all connections to terminate...ANNOYING. I have no problems with my phone dying...is there a way to permanently shut all that crap off? I can't find it in the settings
Good morning all. First post here. Just upgraded to NG6 with root from NC5 and noticed that all the options when long pressing the power button are gone. So no more flashlight, screenshot etc, just power off, airplane, restart and the sound modes. Any one know how to get it back?
nobody huh...
Weren't those options part of a mod or ROM? I don't recall them being stock.
