Pretty simple question here, I recently installed the three UK JB update on my unbranded phone (got confused and wasn't concentrating, but anyway...) anniversary noticed that when the screen dims and turns off, if I press the home key to turn it back on in the short space of time that you get before it auto locks, then not only does the screen turn back on but it also backs out of the app I was reading. Is anyone else experiencing this? I never had this issue on ICS.
I am using smart stay, but this happens at times like when I'm reading in the dark or have the phone on my desk without my head directly over it.
Cheers in advance!

Yep, it's a Samsung bug that I guess they haven't fixed yet...
CyanogenMOD fixed the bug back when CM10 wasn't even usable on our devices
It's already fixed in the XXDLJ4 release.

I flashed about a week ago the official JB Update and the Bug was gone - till yesterday -.-
Now the Bug is back and i really don't know why. Is there any working solution? (execpt to reflash everything)
As far as I can see the bug depends on the lockscreen type and appears only, if you activated pattern locking and you have a relock delay.
still have it here, no special lock screen set up, just swipe to unlock

If you set SVoice to launch on home double press it should solve the issue of it backgrounding the app.
Yes this problem seems to appear when S-Voice is turned off. Which sucks cause I'd rather have google voice search.
I freeze Svoice in Titamium backup. And I have a problems with home button as some decribes in posts.
I was looking around for solution and I am happy that i finaly find answer here.
Many thanks for help with this S-Voice app
Samsung SVoice also introduces a delay to home button.

Is there a way to make the home button respond instantly?
Does anyone else have this problem?

It has something to do with the Voice control samsung built into the phone, people were saying you can freeze/ delete the app and your home button will be instant, i can personally vouch for this because I'm using CM7, a rom that doesn't have the voice control and my home button actually is instant.
it something to do with the processor and power management.
The delay is present in CM too but not as bad

I thought that had to do with the wakeup "lag" i.e. just waking the phone up from sleep, if you are talking about that yes its present in CM as well. I thought he was asking about home button when exiting out of apps and such, as i noticed a slight delay in that when i was using the stock rom.
I've froze voice commands with Bloat Freezer and this hasn't made any difference :/
Since KG1 firmware, home button lag has been solved. Home button acts normal now.
The OP hasn't explained what his problem actually is, so there's no point telling him to freeze apps!
@jameslfc5
Do you mean it takes a couple of seconds when the screen is off and you wake the phone with the home button, or do you mean it pauses when you're running an app and you press home to go back to your home screen?

It responds instantly when connected to a charger. So it must be software related. I haven't found any 2.3.3. or 2.3.4 ROMs that remove the lag entirely. I'm sure someone will figure it out though.
When connected to charger the phone does not sleep. So no lag.
I have same problem as OP.
Note - it's not the wake-up delay, which is also annoying. It's the regular "go back to home screen" delay when using the phone.
I'm running Cognition 1.31, and problem was present on Stock ROM, VillainROM, Cognition 1.15 and 1.31.
I had voice control only on Stock ROM, and don't have it now - no difference. Delay is about 0.5-1 second.
Super annoying. Makes it feel slow. Was not present on any of the SGS ROMs.
+1
I just think of an iPhone... it's better in only this thing
CM7 fixes it. I think I know what you mean, I had it in Cognition 1.31 and litee'ning rom. Now I don't or don't even notice it.

Did this actually get fixed in 2.3.4? The home button lag not the waking lag.
Nope.

Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.
Hi all,
I've recently flashed my GS3 to UltimaRom 4.0. (Very nice Rom btw)
I have no complaints, other than this one small thingy. (don't know if it's a known issue or not but a search didn't reveal anything)
When I press the 'power' button to turn off the display and to put away my phone, it sometimes keeps turning the display on.
Pressing the power button turns it off and immediately turns it back on.
I have to unlock the phone first before I can lock it again and the display stays disabled.
It's not a big deal but annoying if you just want to check something fast and the screen keeps popping up.
Is there any known fix for this? Or am I just forgetting something configuration wise?
Thx for any advise.
No issue here. Maybe one of your apps is causing this.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Same here
I've got the same problem, I've not managed to nail it down to a single rogue app yet that may or may not be causing the issue. I'm running Omega v28 Jelly Bean, so I presume this isn't something wrong in either ROM, just an app like Arsaw says.
It could be:
The CRT bug (fixed in 5.1)
or
Something waking your screen a rogue app, or perhaps something asking for permissions and waking to do that (I had that once).
I'll place money on it being the CRT bug, though
Update to 4.1. There's lots of new features
So it was a bug, I had that too at 4.0 but I didn't pay much attention to it.
Quite late reply, but only had yesterday the chance to flash v4.1 i havent had the issue yet.
So it was probably indeed the problem mentioned above.
Thanks for you help!

Now that we have root is there a fix for lock screen lag?
The current root procedure breaks more things so its not worth it even if it did

On my Note it appears to be a TouchWiz problem. I do not have the lock screen enabled as my phone never leaves my side. From sleep it takes approx. 1 second to wake if i press the power button when using TouchWiz. It wakes in less than half a second when i use SSLauncher or Nova!
Not using touchwiz. Nova launcher instead. Still get crazy lag. Seems its across all Note 2. Hoping for a fix.
I was browsing the n7100 forums and someone there asked the same question. A lot of people said that the lag was because of the phone coming out of deep sleep so the only way to fix the lag would be to keep some app running in the background that keeps the phone from sleeping. The only problem with that is that your battery life won't be as good.
why not just download voltage control or similar app and raise the minimum clock speed?
I have no lag at all. My note 2 is faster then my g3

It's not lag so much as it is a delay. On my Razr, there's no delay between pushing the power button and the screen coming on. There is a delay on the Note 2 of around a second between pushing the button and the screen coming on.
I don't think it's the lockscreen. I don't see a difference when I turn it off. My guess is the little bit of lag is for hardware reasons.
I've read that this is due to S-Voice waiting for input before the screen completely wakes up. Go into S-Voice and find the setting to wait for input on wake or something similar and turn that off. Lag should be fixed...dont have the phone yet and already giving advice, lol.

This video is for home button lag not lockscreen lag. Plu my s voice was all ready disable by home button. This thread is for lockscreen lag/delay not home button.
The Fix for me
Here is what i found turn off s-voice this what i found to fix the lag i think it is running waiting for the wake voice command
do turn it off if you dont use it did and it did the trick it is in the apps drawer so dont look for it in the settings
I thought this was generally accepted to be due to the phone entering a deep sleep and shutting off the CPU cores, thus the delay in waking up the processor and thus the display.
Will do further testing around forced wake locks and hold cpu states.
i disabled the lock screen...so much better! this phone does not pocket dial, so its not needed anyway imo.
Hi guys,
i been having this very annoying problem with my GS3 LTE (9305) but when i compare to other GSIII's it seems only mine behave like this but i cant find any reason or any option for the cause.
Basically the problem is that when i call someone and the phone screen goes to off sometime i want to wake up the screen and press the button below the screen and what my phone does is to minimize the call application but on my friends phone the call application stays and only the screen is turned on.
Can you guys please help me finding the root cause to why my call application minimizes itself when the screen is off?
I been searching for every option there is and cant find anything useful, also i have never installed any other dialer application or anything like that.
Please help me this is getting me nuts.

I tested on a GSII LTE + GSIII + Note2 and all are running JB and works fine on their phone.
If it is a bug i hope Samsung fixes it soon, its been a while i got an update and this thing is so annoying.

I meant Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean roms... Jkays framework fixes this issue.
If i recall correctly it has something to do with a setting in s-voice I think. Also it happens with any application when the screen turns off.

Yes, this issue isn't unique to the dialler. If you let the screen timeout with any application then press the home key, it returns to the home screen.
The workaround is to make sure than in the S-Voice settings, you have "Open via the home key" option set. After this, a single home key press will wake the device without returning to the home screen.
Ask this question in the appropriate section

Sadly that didnt work either. I had actually S Voice disabled but enabled and did what you said but it still minimizes the call application
EDIT: very strange , tested calling 4-5 times and suddenly after my friend called me it started working. I called my other cell before and it works fine now. THANK ALLOT MAN.
EDIT2: funny i tried to disable S-Vice again and to my surprise it stil works.
