Question, anyone else have signal bars consistently showing poor signal? OG HTC EVO shows 3-4 bars, this shows 0-2 tops. Plus I have never roamed inside my house and today it put me into roaming wtf

I'm new to touch wiz, is there any way to edit lockscreen apps?

Can somebody please confirm is this phone has any delay between power button and lock screen? I remember the SGS2 suffered like a 2-4 second delay before the main lock screen would turn on after pressing the power button.

Ok I got a question how do you change the lockscreen shortcuts?

In WiFi settings there's a advanced tab at the bottom and from there you can choose wether to have WiFi stay connected while the phone sleeps

you can make a bunch of changes to the lock screen from there

OP here. Can a Mod please lock this thread? Some people are being thrown by the thread title & I believe they might be thinking this is a legit Q&A subforum or something. :what: I wouldn't want anyone to post in here just to be ignored. My apologies for starting it & TIA. :beer:

On the screen itself it looks perfectly fine it does not look like there is anything wrong with it at all just cannot touch in that specific line down the screen it jumped either to the right or to the left of it
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
It sounds like a digitizer problem. There are a few guide on the internet on how to fix one or if your phone is under warranty still you can say your screen is messed up and get it fixed through that.

[QUESTION]

After 4 refurbs I finally got a new phone, went it to Sprint and was going to get another refurb, but they gave me a brand new one. So, I have been extremely observant with this new one, I have noticed when typing my finger press doesn't always register, its only on the left side of the phone in la.escape mode. And sometimes the spacebar doesn't recognize. So i downloaded order and chaos, (wow mobile) and the virtual joystick stutters and doesn't register my finger press. *NOTE* this isn't app based. It happened when clicking on apps from drawer no matter what launcher. I'm wondering if its the digitizer. 4 days oldandth is one fails already. Sick of HTC.
EDIT: good example right there. Meant * 4 days old and this * and landscape*

Just curious... Are you using go locker or some other lock screen? I had stuttering touch response when I was using go locker......
If that's not the case... Then maybe you need it replaced... Again...
I am using golocker. Haha maybe that's the problem. I'll turn it off for a few days and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah let us know how it goes. I really like go locker and I have asked the devs to fix it but I never got a response from them...
Disabling it did the trick. That's so weird. Glad I know a fix, sad an amazing locker has to be disabled. I guess I can just turn it off when gaming ect. Still a bummer. But thanks for the tip!

[Q] Touchscreen OFF + Screen ON

Is there a mod allowing (with a button combination) to disable completely the touchscreen while leaving the screen on?
When I show a picture around, if anybody grabs my phone, 99% of the times they end up touching the screen (especially if they are not familiar with the SGS3 thin borders) messing up the display.
***** slap anyone who grabs the phone.. Problem sorted

Depending on the nature of the picture, sometimes they grab it anyway...
Haha well that's different, get it sorted. I'm sure there is a way just not sure

Hello, im on beans build 10 (it did the same on stock though) but when I press the unlock button there is a short delay until the screen turns on. Its fairly annoying. How can I make it so its instant? Thanks for any help

If it did the same thing with a stock rom, it might be a problem with the phone. I'm using the i605 and I've been on beans build 10 and i have never had a delay problem.
How long is the delay usually?
The delay is almost un noticable. I would guess less than half a second. But there is a slight delay.

It's also well known and been asked a lot. Under display unchecked the auto adjust screen seems to help. Ultimately though it's just how the note 2 is and will (for now) always be there.

It's been talked about on the One x forums with the blame being directed towards jellybean. I don't know if this is true or not but what I was lead to believe.

Well then even if that's the problem I guess we get to live with it. I know it's been talked about a lot here too. Never heard it was JB.
Oh well I'm far from important enough to need my phone so fast that a half second delay is gonna be a problem.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for your replies. I am not really annoyed by this. It only seems to do it when the phone has been at idle for a while. Its not something I would knock this phone for. This things a beast so I can live with a tiny delay. Haha. Thanks again and hope that maybe itll get fixed in either official 4.2 or maybe key lime

i got rid of the unlock delay by disabling the lock screen...been using my n2 this way for a month now. no pocket dialing or anything random...actually dont think i could go back to using a lock screen.
afaik it's an exynos issue. you can do a few things to get the most out of it, but the processor will always take a second to pull itself out of deep sleep.

Widgetlocker Delay

Howdy!
I am suddenly experiencing a delay with WidgetLocker. When I hit the power button to wake my phone there is a 1-2 second delay with the clock. It doesn't sound like a lot but it takes a millisecond to check the time. I have never seen this before and its a really jarring experience to read 9:20 and then have it flash to 9:45 right as I click to relocl the screen.
I've done multiple searches and can't find anything other than one post that said this is normal since the phone is waking from "deep sleep" and there will always be a delay. I don't think this is right since I have used WidgeLocker on multiple phones over the last year or so and never noticed this. Its pretty hard to miss.
Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried rebooting, checked for updates, etc.
Thanks.

I would point to this as the problem. Even without widgetlocker this occurs. Not sure what rom you are on, if any, but have you tried the zero wake lag options? It stopped the problem for me.
I am on Beans 9. I recently had to do a restore from nandroid. I wonder if a setting didn't restore fully. I will check it out.
Is there any downside to zero lag options? Just wondering why it wouldn't be default.
Thanks!

Here is more info about wake lag.
