I have an ace on stock firmware. however when making a call and taking the phone away from the face the phone takes well over a second for the screen to turn back on. How can i make it instantaneous? ive added the two delay tweaks to my build.prop but it hasnt done anything. When testing the proximity sensor with *#00*# its basically perfect. But lags when on a call. Also lags when waking the screen up for the first time takes a good 2 seconds. Bit **** really. Can this be fixed?
I'm not sure it's a software issue, I believe it's hardware due to sensitivity of magnets. So, no it can't be fixed.
I take it you don't have any live backgrounds on your phone? That would slow things down.
its defo software installing coderom sorts it out. however this rom is dated and i would prefer to be on stock. A phone in this price range shouldn't be doing this sort of **** to be honest.

The only other reason I maintain it is hardware, or your hardware, is because mine doesn't take over a second and I am on stock 2.3.3
yeah takes about a second. it should be instant. Coderom gets rid off the wakeup black screen lag and the in call 1 second lag when you take it away from your face. So it can be sorted its just a case of how. Also froyo on this handset had no such lag.

yes, what somedude67 said is correct. some android roms with versions froyo, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 (coderom) don't have that lag, higher ups do.
somedude67, i just use the accessibility option called "power button ends call". the total lag is about a second in OmegaRom, which Im using now. I learned to deal with it...
I have heard that ICS solved this wake up lag in their roms.
mine laggs like 5 seconds... p.o.s.!

lol. mine did that to begin with. But a couple of lines in the build.prop brought it down to about a second.
U can set the delay in build.prop file if u have a rooted ace.

Mardon,
Should my phone have the custom rom installed so that this line can help with waking up the screen ?
I'm asking cause I added this line and set it once to 400 another to 25 and it does not seem to help. I have stock rom 2.3.6 installed.

So recently my eris has been lagging really bad to the point where its pissing me off. it was working fine for a couple of month then the lag started so i factory reset my phone but the lag is still there. it would lag from 30 seconds to mins... I have the latest sensable rom on my phone and i dont think its the rom that is bad..
I was wondering what i can do about this lag.. is my phone broken? Another thing to add is that when the lag started my trackball also started to mess up it occasionally... a lot... moves the left. connection?
If your trackball is starting to scroll to the left at random times, then the lag could definitely be a hardware issue. I had the same issue before I got a replacement Eris. If your phone is still within warranty, then I would take it in and ask for a replacement.
i bought my phone used off of ebay... so i dont think i have warranty...

I remember seeing a thread long time ago with a guide about cleaning underneath the trackball. Removing lint and other particles might help your situation.
Just did a search. There are more thread regarding it, but here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716681
Have you changed your cpu frequency lately? It might not like the speed you are running it at. Also if you are using the setcpu widget that can cause problems.

thanks for the tip on fixing the trackball. it kinda works for me it doesnt scroll to the left as often now. but im still laggggggging like crazy.
i dont know how to change the cpu... i never messed with oc. just install the rom and thats it.

What ROM are you using? Many of the custom ROMs have SetCPU built in. It is fairly simple to use. Just adjust the slider bars for the minimum and maximum speeds. If you set it too high, it can cause kernel panic, which may result in random reboots and lag at times. Higher speeds also consume more battery power. If the minimum is too low, it might take a bit longer to wake up, once the screen is off.
I'm using senseable Rom. There isn't the setcpu app.

My first time posting here, so please be gentle.
I've had my SGS2 for around 6 months now, its an unlocked ASIA (as I live in BKK). I noticed on the original stock firmware that the phone was running hot, as in the back panel around the camera would heat up to the point I could feel it in my pocket. This would normally happen if I was using a game like angry birds, or a psx emulator. But sometimes it would happen in the browser under normal conditions. I just thought this may be a issue with dual core phones, so I took this as a 'feature' and accepted it.
But now lots of people I work with have this phone, and it came up in conversation about heat. Everyone stated they do not have this issue, that the phone remains cool all the time.
I have moved between many different ROMs, and have finally stuck with Westcrips ICS ROM. Then a strange thing happened, the heat issue goes away with version 8.4. Phone is cool all the time, even playing my PSX emulator in software mode. Battery also increased from 12 hours to 16-18 hours.
But now I just moved up to 9.3, and its back again, the front screen is very hot to touch when using things like the MX video player, or surfin the web. And if I launch a game ... well, forget about it. The battery drain is immense to, be lucky if I pull an hour of use like that.
Anyone else suffer from this? Hardware fault? I can't take it back because my flash counter is probably in the 20's now, and I can't find a reset JIG in Bangkok.
Cheers.
FYI, I always do a clean wipe, dalvik / cache / permissions.
same issued here, phone bought from Thailand also. Phone getting hot when browser,downloading and playing some games( not all). And its really hot
Changing Rom and kernel sometimes solved it for awhile but eventually will come back.
Looking for solution also
Thanks
P/s: right now im using LA4 stock Rom and CF root LA4 kernel and still get hot

Thanks for getting back to me.
The one I know that fixes it is Resurrection 8.4. Its a dam good rom, and given me the best battery life (once I got 20 hours with normal use). But there is an issue with touch screen sensitivity that makes it annoying.
Maybe its something to do with the Kernel on the Asian models?
If I find a fix I'll pm you.
Hmmm mine only gets uncomfortably hot when playing some 3d games. Didn't experience the same level of heat when just browsing though... It just gets a little warm but far from gaming temps.
What i did was undervolt and underclock when playing. It did reduce the heat and extend the battery though i admit it's not the best solution / workaround.

Well it looks like the ICS kernel is not supported right now under Tegrak. It is bleeding edge.
I tried setCPU to under clock but ended up with a lot of slow down and some full system freezes.
Guess its back to 8.4 until I find a more definitive answer.

Since you're using Westcrip's Resurrection Remix, you can get rid of the triangle by using Chainfire's TriangleAway app - I'm using Resurrection too and it got rid of the flash counter and the triangle.
TriangleAway should work on all ICS roms though.
Strange, installed triangle away yesterday evening. Work like a charm, so I guess if I need to return I can now.

Only wake up lag/delay solution I have managed to find for ICS
I had the same problem with my ICS on S2. I tried to find the solution for hours and hours and at last managed to solve it by installing Hydra ICS ROM! The problem is gone without installing softlocker or using anykind of other detour. It makes the phone fast and no more screen wake up lag. You can find the custom ICS rom Hydra from -->
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403044
Only wake up lag/delay solution I thought worked for ICS
I was so happy about finding a solution to the delay problem. So I thought, until the problem returned. The custom ROM I mentioned was not the solution for this problem, my phone was working fine for an half an hour or so until it relapsed back to 2-3 s screen wake-up delay. Does anybody know an ICS ROM for S2 that address this problem? 0,5 to 1,5 sec delay wouldn't matter but 2-3 sec is too much delay in my opinion.
That's normal. With CM9 it's about a second. Seriously tho, what's the big deal about a phone taking a second or so to wake up ?
Has anyone had any flickering issues with their screens on the GSIII?
I have an ATT version GSIII. Auto brightness is turned off and for the most part the screen seems fine. It comes in nice and bright!
So I was writing a SMS and I notice a very quick screen flicker. It then did it again when I fired up Scramble with friends. It happens every now and then. Could this be a software issue? Anyone got any advice about this? Should I do a hard reset from the phone and set it back to factory? Its annoying at times so I am wondering if I was the only one with this issue.
Thanks for any advice or feed back!
Mine has done that on more than one occasion. Usually in Google Chrome but it has happened in the XDA app as well.
Usually clearing out the multitasking menu makes it stop for me.
Also on an ATT S3

No its only on about half way. I have also reset the phone and it did not seem to fix the issue. Its just annoying. I cant tell if its software (like a bug in the system.) or if it could be a hardware issue. Some others said they have noticed it but I do not find to many posts about it yet.
I have had this issue on my SGS2 since the ICS update. Can you guys tell me if the SGS3 has the same line and blotchy screen issues as the SGS2 does in lower light and darker screen like when playing games or watching movies.

It seems to mostly do it in the stock messaging app. I have changed my app to Go SMS Pro to test this idea. But yes I might be a normal thing. Its just a slight flicker. Its not like the screen shuts off then back on. Just flashes in front of you mostly. With auto brightness on or off.
Mine flashes in the stock messaging app also.

I think it is the stock messaging app that makes the screen flicker. I have changed to GO SMS PRO and no flicker yet. I will keep an eye on it and report back in a few days! Also feel free to chime in!
I always have my phone set to auto brightness, I don't think it ever goes fully bright. The times I've noticed the flickering was indoors in a dim room so I'm sure the brightness was very low.
The flickering appears for a second or so then goes away. Kinda like a tv when the connection is bad, black lines come across the screen and it flickers

Mine flickered today once on Dolphin HD and, oddly, just now while I'm typing this on Tapatalk. What keyboard are you all using? I'm using SwiftKey 3. My brightness is hardly ever on auto; I feel it sets it too high.
You know I never thought about that. I use the SwiftKey 3 also. Maybe thats the issue?
I haven't seen it all night. I switched to GO SMS PRO today. It seems to play nicely to far!
my experience is that it only happens if you're typing. problem I noticed happens if you're using a different keyboard other than the stock one? I was using smarter keyboard and it occasionally flashes. But I switched back to stock keyboard and it seemed to stop flashing for the day I was using it.
For me it only happens when on the tabs page in Chrome.

ATT has none is stock yet. I mean the good news here is its pointing to be a software issue. I like this because otherwise my phone is perfect. I disabled my stock messaging app and I have not seen the flicker sense. But its only been 24 hours. However I will keep you all posted. I still use SwiftKey 3. As I hate the stock keyboard.

Hi guys, I'm running the latest version of Slim Bean with stock modem XXLE8 and whatever kernel comes with Slim. I've noticed that there is a 1.5-2 second delay upon hitting the power or home button to the screen turning on and being ready to use. It's pretty annoying as you can imagine, I've actually figured out what the problem is, my phone is going to deep sleep too early and is taking up to 2 seconds to wake up, I wouldn't mind this if the phone has been left alone for 2 hours or so, but if I leave my phone for 5 minutes I shouldn't have to wait 2 seconds to unlock it. I came to this conclusion by using the app softlocker from the market, which disables sleep, and the lockscreen is perfectly fine with no lag, so should I try a new modem or a new kernel or is there something else I have to try to solve this issue?
There are already some discussions about that problem:

It is a very annoying problem and I don't really understand how a top range device like the Galaxy S3 has such a problem.
I was hopping that the official Jelly Bean update would fix it... If it does not, I will contact Samsung (as should everyone who is annoyed by the wake up lag).

I've read both but neither seem to provide much of a solution. It is pretty ridiculous a phone like the S3 with such powerful hardware suffers from unlock lag. My HTC Desire Z used to unlock instantly... Kinda disappointing.

Hmmmmm I might flash a stock rom and check it out because I don't remember it happening when I was running stock, tho that was for a grand total of 3 days lol.
This has always been a particular issue surrounding the Android software in terms of the optimisation of the OS...Keep in mind that kernels and ROMs with plently of adjustment may also mean plenty of variables, as small settings adjustments may alter and cause detrimental lags and issues as such. I use Phenomenal which is pretty good as there is little adjustments, disabled logs and undervolted...very good battery and response...I would recommend looking at something like that...unfortunately, should you wish not to root your device and keep it as standard, you may look at if there is an app that might be causing your the issue...but please note that slow unlocking/wake is because the device is in deep sleep.
