When I unlock the phone there is a noticeable lag before the screen comes on, sometimes for about 4 or 5 seconds. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Phone is not rooted and running everything stock. I have also already tried factory resetting the device amd that didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
Clear your cache, go into settings and sd phone and storage, free more space. That might help the lag. Also loading a boat load of apps on your phone will also slow it down.
still didn't fix it.
Did you download and install a live wallpaper? I've noticed a little lag on certain live wallpapers. Just an idea...
none of those either lol. It has to be an app but I don't know which one.

Ok, so I have a rooted Vibrant on stock firmware and I've been having a problem with my screen becoming unresponsive. It originally happened on a smaller level when the phone was newer and unrooted, however the problem has gotten much worse. I've done a factory reset of the phone along with a nandroid backup of it before the problem was severe, yet it comes back just as strong.
I already went through the problems with the no wake from setcpu, even thought it was my lock screen becoming unresponsive until I disabled it with NoLock. Also, I have the Logcat live wallpaper, and usually when you tap the screen, you can see the system processing the information, however when the problem occurs there is no response on the logcat live wallpaper. The phone doesn't freeze at all though. All the soft keys still work perfect as do the volume and power buttons.
Any ideas, tips, suggestions that might help me narrow down this problem? Could it be from a bad version of busybox? Autokiller maybe? I have it set to strict(was previously on aggressive) but no change. Maybe Autostarts is causing something to freeze up. Thanks for any help. Seams like these phones have alot of wake up issues.
I would reflash back to stock with Odin and see what happens when you don't have task killer, set CPU, etc. Also, be careful with autostarts
So I removed Autostarts and rebooted, same deal. I did a factory reset and still the same. I just unrooted a few minutes ago and the problem seams to have gone away. I'm gonna leave it like this for a bit without installing any apps and see what happens. Is it possoble I have a bad root.zip file or bad version of busybox? Doesn't make sense to happen when I have root, then go away when I don't. Any reason it could cause this? I'm really close to sending the phone back, but don't want to waste my time if it's just a bad root file or user error.
Well I don't know for a fact, hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in. Maybe when you are unrooted, changes made by autostarts no longer have the permissions to affect anything. Personally I would use Odin (have done it twice already) and start from scratch. But then you risk accidentally screwing up the phone if something goes wrong.
I removed Autostarts and rebooted just to make sure the changes took effect though. Even did a factory reset. Those removed all apps that required root access and the problem was still so bad it took me an hour to get the screen responsive again. Once I did get into my phone I booted into recover and unrooted. Restared the phone and now the issue seams to have gone away. Touch screen is very responsive now which leads me to believe it was something that had to do with the root file i'm flashing, or possibly busybox. Very very strange.
Hopefully someone much smarter than me could give some insight as to what could potentially cause the touch screens to just stop recieving signal. It's just bizarre that the phone continues to run fine, just not the screen.
I am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far

No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.

Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.
Hey guys, I've had this phone since it came out and for the past 2 to 3 months, the thing has just slowed down tremendously. I have uninstalled alot of crap and there isnt much on my phone anymore, every few times i turn on my phone and try to do anything it feels laggy. Even going to text msgs the thing is just super slow to load. It was a great phone.... but with the constant use and mis use (accident drops) the phone is dieing.
What should I do instead of getting a brand new phone?
If I do root it and throw on a different rom will this fix the problem?
Should I wipe the phone and start fresh will that solve the problem?
Start by formatting
*pull your pants up and throw away your fake chain*
Which launcher are you using?
When I used Apex it got terribly slow after a few days use. Changed it to Nova and it was much better.
But sluggishness could of course be due to several reasons. I'd go for a factory reset if it's unbearable and nothing else helps.

I was using stock then went to Go launcher EX (found improvemen but not enough), Launcher Pro, Currently on Nova ( has been better.. but still sometimes feels sluggish. I think i have to start fresh and hopefully that will bring back some life.
Kulch, you could boot your phone into Safe Mode. This mode runs only the factory apps. If the sluggishness disappears, then one or more installed apps could be causing the problem. Access Safe Mode by pressing the power button as usual, but then long-pressing the Power Off pop up. To get back to regular mode, just reboot.

Before formatting (too radical), try clearing the dalvik-cache ... when I used the Samsung Galaxy S, it often worked.
Mine got really slow and sluggish as well....
the best thing I did for it was get Ram Booster Pro and noticed my free ram was hovering in the 100 or less range. Set boost level to aggressive, whitelisted what I wanted to keep running, Set it to auto kill everything every 30 seconds and auto kill at a threshold of 325mb. Blazing like new ever since. it does require root i believe.
Clean Dalvik Cache with Titanium and take a look at the RAM usage of some apps, try freeze them to see how the system works...
Hey.
So I for the past month of so, my phone has been getting this weird issue where the network will suddenly cut and I'll be left with signal but no Data... It happens at very weird and pattern like intervals... What I mean is that it can happen when I'm using my phone. It can also happen on its own when my phone is in my pocket... Strange. If I manage to get home for example without it happening I can sometimes manage to turn on WiFi and the day afterwards when I leave Data still works. Now the only way I have found of fixing it is to Reboot my phone completely...
I have tried it on different Roms and even different Versions! So it seems to be a configuration problem? But I've wiped my phone between those Rom changes and I change quite often (Titanium, simply the best app on the entirr play store).
So it's very annoying and I can't figure out the pattern or what causes. I hope someone will be able to help.
Thanks!
+1 on that.
If anyone can elaborate, that would be very nice.

plz anyone who can help about the lagging speak now lolll thx
Do not wipe or reset the phone without knowing what is causing the problem. Deleting cache means the phone will have to rebuild it, which in itself can cause some lags. You should be more specific about which version of S9+ (SOC, carrier) you have, and where and when the lags occur. If your phone lags from start to finish, then you have a defective sample. If animation seems slow, try changing its speed under developer options. If you are talking about slight hesitation when bring app drawer up or swiping to Bixby page, then welcome to Samsung.
Hi, I have the same problem what I did was turn down the screen resolution(middle) and this worked better but I have a little lag still, when I go home screen from an app. did you solve?
Greetings??
I have the solution
Keep Pressing the turn down volume button and the button that unlock the screen during 10 seconds at the same time and your cellphone will get off then you turn on it. Greetings from Acapulco.
