UI glitch we ALL suffer from re: lockscreen/quick wake - video post #10 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting extremely frustrated with the glitch that we all see on a daily basis: quick locking/unlocking of the phone will yield the unlocked screen followed by the lockscreen. How has this not yet been fixed by Google? Does anyone have a workaround? So stupid and unprofessional. It makes me sad :-(

What?

Lock your phone then immediately press the lock button again to get to lockscreen. Tell me you don't see the previous screen for a split second before the lockscreen shows up.

That's BS. It happens almost every time and on every Android device. It's not long at all, but there's no way that every time you try a speedy lock/unlock that you don't get a glimpse of what's hiding behind the lockscreen. It's the same thing with apps that have lockscreen widgets (like PowerAMP). Sometimes I'll get a glimpse of the stock lockscreen and then the PowerAMP lockscreen widget will show up.
Android seems to have a serious issue dealing with sleep mode and knowing what to do on wake.

well... it doesnt happen on my sgs2, my missus' sgs2 or on my asus transformer.
Whats the big deal anyway?
Try calming down and chilling out..... its only a phone.

I can GUARANTEE that it happens on your S2. It happened on my HTC Magic, N1 and my current SGS2. Maybe you don't notice it, but it's definitely there. I'm uploading a video now to demonstrate what I mean, including the PowerAMP issue.

Yeah, it happens. But I don't see it as a security flaw, sure for a split second you can access an unlocked screen but after that the pattern lock comes up followed by my widgetlocker screen
This does need to be fixed I agree.

Thanks for the USEFUL response! I don't see it as a security flaw either, just a massive unprofessional bug. TBH, it's things like this that are the reason why the iPhone is seen to be smoother and more polished. I don't have an iPhone, so I can't ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE, but I'm pretty damn sure that something like this would never happen. And don't get my started on "only 1 phone to test on"; this has happened on ever Android device I have owned.

As you can see above, the issue is definitely there. Even if it is for a SPLIT second, it still happens and it shouldn't. And the issue with the PowerAMP lockscreen delaying for nearly 3 seconds should NEVER happen. Hell, I just tried it 15 times straight on my 2nd generation iPod touch, and it didn't happen once.
Honestly, if it takes Android purportedly DELAYING the screen wake by a second just to ensure that this doesn't happen, it's worth it IMO.

I see it when the phone has locked itself but not when I lock it using the power button.
I wonder if because the screen is off before actually locking the new lockscreen is not displayed until the screen is turned back on.
Agree it looks like sh1t when it does it.

I think he just means the "iPhone is better" war.

Not doing it here on KI8. I flashed and did a factory reset, wiped the dalvik cache and re-installed my apps and theres not a single glimpse of the screen under the lock screen.
I use a screen lock widget to turn off and lock the screen and the centre button to wake up the phone.
Trust me when i say it isn't happening on mine, it has done it previously and that's why i started using Widget Locker instead...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

i just spent the last 15 minutes trying this out on my KI3 custom ROM...not happening, goes straight to the lock screen (believe me, im anal about things...)
I think it depends whats on the phone, what settings are used, the kernel etc...
As its something we DONT all suffer from, will you change the thread title?

And you're following along exactly with how I'm describing? Immediate lock and unlock?
And anyway, I'm talking about STOCK Android without any "help". WidgetLocker/custom ROM isn't stock.

Yes me too, I have nearly burned my fingers off swiping my screen, and power button off. No problems with my K14 stock rom.
Maybe you need to clean up the App Cache, and use a memory booster as well?
Just a thought!

Sorry dont do split seconds .
jje

it does happen for me as well.. but yes only a split second.. i just lived with it.. think of it as a "feature" lol

I agree it happens on every android phone....heck its android lol! When i think of android i think of bugs lol. Again its very minor but u want see it on a apple device. Still love my SGS2 to biiits
Sent from my iphone look a like powered by android!

This irks me greatly, since it seems to have gotten worse on KI3. Has currently annoyed me to the point of trying a stack of different ROMs to see if any of them are better. CM7 is - shame it's not quite at a daily driver level yet.

lag and instability, or poor user understanding of android

I get lag and unresponsive touch controls after a few hours heavy use. It is resolved with a reboot. Not many 3 party apps installed. Is there a particular way to exit apps in android, I notice not every app has a exit option in it's menu.
Most annoying is when browsing the web and the screen can't determine if it should zoom or scroll.
I'm coming from WM6.5 so if there are some basics that apply to Android and are not phone specific, please point me to the right guide.

I am cant wait till the nexus comes out actaully and you start seing the exact same threads "CAN WE DISABLE THE SOFTKEYS SO WE CAN GET MORE SCREEN REALESTATE!!!!" OMG IM RETURNING THIS FOR THE REZOUND!!1!one!!!!"
You must have seen my thread! lol
Chill out guys, the phone gets better with more development, complaining about issues that can pretty easily be resolved with some Dev effort isn't going to get us the Dev effort we want. There is an issue thread, lets keep everything confined to that thread unless it is a question that hasn't been asked. That way, they can see what the issues are, and take action as they can.
like i post everywhere, especially on youtube (because youtube=full of haters)
Nexus fanboys have become as bad as Apple fanboys. period. they're JUST as bad now, and they're annoying as ****. whatever, let him return it and get a phone that's got no definitive release date. he can have fun with his boring, ugly stock android while we love our looks of sense.
I can say that I've had 0 issues with this phone whatsoever. Which is very surprising to me being that every phone that I've ever had always had something about it that I didn't like. I can't find anything with the rezound that I don't like. No lags, battery life is good, zippy, and the screen is amazing. I haven't used the task killer as of yet and I don't think I'm gonna have to. Not trying to sound like a fanboy but it is what it is.

I think I figured it out, in the afternoon I plug the phone in to charge so it will be fully charged by the time I get off work. At that time is when I was experiencing instability. What I found the cause to be is a cheapo usb cable. Anytime I try to use the phone with that cable plugged in it would exhibit instability and a jumpy screen. It would stop immediately after I unplug the usb cable. Never had this type of problem with a cable before, I've had phones not charge because of loose fitting cables but never had a cable screw the phone up like that.

if you are plugged in, check your usb power adapter
I usually change batteries often enough on my tbolt that it isn't a problem, but I like system panel app's widget to kill all. If my phone starts to bog down, just hit it on the home screen and everything gets cleared. You can set a list of apps for it to ignore as well.
As far as nexus fanboys, yeah they are getting bad and tech bloggers are the worst. Reviews of the nexus have actually been pretty middle of the road. Engadget said that it is not as smooth as GB (ICS) and the camera was disappointing. You also can't mount your storage to usb to transfer files and the screen has some amoled issues, esp. with brightness turned down.
I'm definitely favoring the rezound, but will wait till I can score one on Craigslist for about 300.

Touchscreen issues.

So I believe I'm having touch screen issues. When im slowly scrolling down it jumps up and down and goes all crazy. Holding it in one spot seems to make it act ridiculous. Any one having this issue. I'm on my second device same issue.
Downloaded two touch screen test apps. Both of which registered multiple points being touch when only one finger was on the screen.

2 times in a roll this happens? so a third time wasnt happening
im kinda turned away from samsung now.
LOL you hella mad. anyways only reason it scrolls up is when you have something ready to type(when your keyboard is up)
This also happens to me on both of my SGS2(Returned 1st one cause of screen issue) and it is very annoying...I have not seen it happen again since I went to KK6 though so maybe a software issue?
Never had anything like this except when plugged into a crappy charger that put noise on the line.
Did you try Daily Driver 12/12? That includes the drivers from I9100 update3. The amount of AT&T-specific code in the I777 source code is appalling... 90% of the time AT&T "customizations" make the phone worse.
Well like I said it has not happened since I moved to KK6 base so I think it is something in the KH7 firmware
it had to be hardware related cause it did it on stock and when i rooted i tried different roms it did the same thing. i really liked this phone alot

no it was purely touchscreen issues.even in apps it sould do it. even when swiping through the app drawer it would jump around. i downloaded two touchscreen point app on my sgs2 and htc inspire. the inspire was fine the sgs 2 registered 10 points with one finger.
so of course im "hella mad"

[Q] Delayed wakeup upon unlock. 4.0.3

Yes, I have searched the forum but only found old posts, nothing pertaining to ICS about this.
I've had this problem since 2.3, and it's kinda annoying.
When I press the unlock button it takes around 2sec for the phone to wake-up.
I thought this was supposed to be fixed in the verisons after 2.3, and now I have 4.0.3 and it's still present.
Anyone else have this problem?
Is it a Google or Samsung problem. Can it be remedied?

It's normal. I use CM 9 and I'll hit the home button on my sleeping phone now...and it took around 1 second to wake up.
There isn't anything you can do about it.
As Riz said last month, would you rather your phone deep sleep & conserve battery when you're not using it & take a second to wake up or would you rather have a permanent wakelock & resultant battery drain in order to have it wake up in a few tenths of a second ?
I mean, we are talking about a second here. Not half a minute or something.
Yay! You got a new sig!
It always makes me wonder what people expect with these threads....it's like when you wake a pc up - it isn't instantaneous...and is a second really too long to wait?
Yeah I couldn't resist ;-)
Yep you're right. People do expect too much sometimes, as you said, how long does a PC take to wake up from hibernation ? Phone takes no time in comparison.

Wake On Volume Rocker

I hate this feature a lot. I wish it would go away.
I don't remember the phone doing it when I first got it but it seems to now. I didn't pay much attention because I didn't expect the phone to do it seeing as how none of my previous phones have.
Without having to root the phone and disable it - is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing which is causing the phone to wake and the volume keys to work normally even though the phone is locked?
I'd check your recent app downloads? Cause that doesn't make any bit of sense. Just tried it and nothing happened. Up down held up and held down. Nada

I've been attempting to avoid that real hard. I have flashed all past phones and I was trying to just enjoy this for what it was for a while. Flashing roms always sacrifices features or has other tradeoffs. Tired of that. Kept the number of apps way down, kept everything as simple as possible and of course... things still go wrong. Haven't even rooted it yet.

Man I want my phone to be as unresponsive as possible when it's off. and I want it to be hard to unlock.
If there's any semblance of "easy to unlock" I pocket dial a solid 18-22 people a day while at work... and since I've got my exchange account paired to it with the company phone directory of a few hundred people... it starts getting interesting real quick.
haha this is funny. these few have volume wake by accident(likely b/c of something they flashed or another app borking something) and do not want it at all, all awhile these others would love to have the feature....haha
to further clear it up, this is not a new sense feature as others have mentioned as mine here is bone ass stock not a single mod or even app downloaded on it yet and it does not do it one bit...

Onex+ touch screen issue(we need to report for hotfix)

Ok, so me and another guy did some tests with the onex+ touch screen and found out why so many of us have issues with scrolling, we need as many people as possible to report the issue to HTC so we can get a hotfix, i dont think HTC realize at the moment, this is what to do, type in on th phone keypad *#*#3424#*#*. choose more, then choose the screen drawing option, dont draw, just touch it with your finger and see if there is a white dot, if there isnt then touch another part of the screen and then see if the previous touch shows up, if so you have the same software issue as many of us, its quite possible that its a major hardware flaw and cant be rectified in which case HTC will have to do mass repairs or recall, we are not going to stand for this at a price of £500, if you have this issue please report on HTC website, either email or chat or phone call, it needs to be done or we will have scrolling issues time and time again on each update.
What touch screen issue are you talking about? I've not heard anything about it from anyone on here. I think mine is fine. Or maybe I haven't noticed it yet.

Me and another guy discovered it, trying to sort out our scrolling problems, as of now theres an issue. 4 people have the exact same issue so far and i bet theres more.Test your screen and you will no for sure.

you have the same software issue as many of us, its quite possible that its a major hardware flaw

Yup, I noticed it too. It's gone now, since I switched over to CM10. It makes no sense! (See what I did there? )
I think I'm that other guy OP was talking about. I have this scrolling issue where stuff on screen are being selected or clicked on accidentally instead of scrolling though them - but never had this problem before I updated to the most recent firmware, so I'm pretty sure this is a software thing.
Best we could do right now is report to HTC.

It would be nice to know if the problem shows its ugly head on the lte/4g versions, its def got to be reported, if its hardware they will have to recall or fix them, and they cant turn away people who are rooted or have custom roms if it hardware. Hi sharpshooterr, yes op is you, i couldnt remember your name untill i seen it lol. Same test on the onex with android 4.1.1 with sense 4+ shows the screen is perfect, theres not even any lag when drawing either. Things like this shouldnt be getting through quality control on high end flagship devices, really shows HTC is going down hill fast.
As of now i think your testing might be a little flawed, you are using the wrong test. This is a line draw test, not a touch test. Its liable to act the same for everyone when just touching. How does it draw for you? Draws fine for me. the thing about touching then touching again and both dots show is not any sort of test IMO because again this is a LINE DRAW test. Maybe download some of the touch and multitouch tests from the market and try those.
Dont get me wrong, if there is something wrong then it needs to be addressed. I applaud you for trying to bring it public. You should look into some other tests though. HTC will not pay any attention to this issue if its brought to them like this. Get some more info, more tests, different tests.. The more the merrier
With the information i've read here it does sound software related though.. custom roms can fix it and firmware updates can break it. Doesn't sound hardware to me.

Ok, ive tested the same drawing test screen on the onex, doesnt happen, soon as you touch the screen it registers under your finger, the screen has to register the first touch in that same spot your finger is on no matter what your doing, this is why its clicking in other places and rubber banding when your scrolling, its registering to late, and the line drawing lags like f---k. When your drawing your keeping your finger on it so its going to register eventually in the place you want it, its no good when your scrolling. Ive reproduced the same in gesture search, and again on the onex it doesnt do it in gesture search. Keep in mind there both running android 4.1.1 with 4+ sense, the only screen difference is the glass. If what your saying is true then the onex should be the same way so i know its not down to he test app along with the other tests ive done. Eitherway theres def a problem with scrolling.Your probably right about HTC not doing anything.EDIT: Ive decided to refund or sell it and carry on using the onex, it just seems faster, battery last longer.

No... But thinking on it I may be a bad test subject since my phone is now rooted, bl unlocked, and running an insertcoin rom. I've had the phone for about a week.

With the exception of insert coin my phone is the same. I do not have this problem. Something is wrong with the rom, your kernel or your phone if you are having touch screen issues.
I am unlocked, running elegancia, rooted. I do not have TWRP flashed as there are issues charging when the battery dies. Even when i did I never had touch screen issues.
Multi touch is useless also, only 2 fingers register, on a brandnew high end device and it only supports 2 finger multitouch, oh yes, i have a touch screen app that actually registers a soon as you touch the screen, but its only one app, all others i tested do as i described so i really do not know what to think, its def not hardware, its down to the software, we should get 4.2.1 soon and hopefully it will be gone, as the op said, i dont think HTC will do anything, especially now i found an app that makes the touch work as it should. So, basically, dont worry to much, its not the hardware. Ive boxed my onex+ back up and im using the onex untill new OS, i might even flash stock nexus 4 OS on the onex.

To get the device to register more than 2 fingers go into settings -Display, gestures & buttons - turn off under gestures - HTC gestures (uncheck) this will give you up to 10 multitouch points.

I think what he said is absurd, I didn't disable HTC gestures and enabled "show touches" under developer options and the screen picks up my 10 fingers.

wow absurd huh? I can confirm that it is NOT absurd and works the way he posted it... even if you hit show touches in development, and leave htc gestures checked, none of the multitouch testing apps pick up more than 2 touches... even though you can see more, they dont register as touches in apps and games.. So... in order to have the full 10 point multitouch, no matter how absurd you think it is, HTC gestures must be unchecked.. Google it

You misunderstand, I'm saying that it's absurd that boe323's saying the device can only support up to two touches and multi-touch is useless. Since you yourself said it will register up to 10 touches with the correct setting then it IS absurd that he claims it can only pick up two. Even the HTC gesture settings clearly says 3 finger-touches so that in itself made his statement of only two-touch support absurd.
It seems that you think I'm disagreeing with ihavoc, you should improve your reading comprehension.
