[Q] wake lag - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok, so I read around the web and xda and didn't found any reasonable solution to this frustrating bug...
when the screen is of, it takes around 1-2 seconds to wake up...regardless if I press home button or power button...
I tried stock rom, flashed another samsung based, AOSP, AOKP and the lag is present on every rom...even with a fresh install, restored apps, installed everything manually...
tried removing sd card and still nothing
is anyone experiencing this also? is there a fix?
please help out, it is driving me crazy!!
btw can this be used to fix this?

What's so important in your life that you can't wait one second?
Install an app to keep a wakelock and you'll have instant-wake. But get used to plugging your phone in.
BTW, linking to a kernel for the Samsung Vibrant and asking if it will help ... wow.

why the flame? no one is born perfect, not even you
it is annoying because the sg2 is the one of the best phones out there with impressive hardware and it sould be without bugs like this...
I linked that topic because there is something about this lag that may be helpful...
btw, xda search engine provided the link

JKAY's framework v 14.0
have you tried JKAY's new framework for ICS v14.0 .. it has a lot of new options and settings to personalize or S2 just the way u want it
including it has 2 precious options :
1)fast unlock ( can be found under lockscreen options >>set common options )
2)fast lock ( can be found under set misc settings )

I found a topic related to this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29994420#post29994420
so even though JKAY has this feature, it is not a fix but a battery drain...

the app softlocker cures it but does use a little more battery

I have zero lag at all.. You can try my setup in my signature if you care that much

[Q] A Few Questions on Apps and Rooting

Hey guys just got a few quick questions, I know there is a likelihood this has been discussed elsewhere but I've not found the resources.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
I'm considering removing the camera app and sticking with Camera360 as my ONLY camera app, would this be a good idea. I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
Is it just me, or does the normal OTA software update option not work? I tried it several times yesterday and I either got a failed connection or it just hung and did nothing ...
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
I know since 2.2 they removed the vib->silent->normal settings when changing volume but I really need to use silent sometimes anyone know a way round this?
That's most of my questions for now, thanks for your help guys :-D.
This is interesting because I am very interested in most of these questions as well. Here is my opinions on each.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
-There is battery icon mods, search for it in the Theme section
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
-The only Rom I know of that can change the long press of the home button is CM7.
I'm considering removing the camera app and sticking with Camera360 as my ONLY camera app, would this be a good idea. I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
-The camera app is safe to remove. I would try Titanium and freeze it first if you're worried.
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
-You might want to detail these better.
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
-I do this through tasker.
Is it just me, or does the normal OTA software update option not work? I tried it several times yesterday and I either got a failed connection or it just hung and did nothing ...
-Dont know
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
-I dont think this comes in the stock rom. I'm on Cognition which has it.
I know since 2.2 they removed the vib->silent->normal settings when changing volume but I really need to use silent sometimes anyone know a way round this?
-CM7

As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I will look into tasker, though I was looking for something very light as I only need this one feature.
Rather stick with stock ROM for now, at least until I get a JIG
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Sorry about that thanks.
Just as a quick update, reinstalled the Task manager app and placed the apk back in the system/app folder and it seems to work. Also the battery icon has been updated and looked great :-D.
[*]As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I think you underestimate Titanium, it does more than backups.
Oh I don't use Titanium for my backups, I like always starting from fresh, so my contacts, etc are backedup but apps and settings I always prefer doing from scratch.
I tried Camera 360 and unless I'm mistaken the quality seemed LESS than the default app, which was a let down. Maybe I will try again.

karan999's KF3 stock ROM with CF-Rooted KF3 kernel works perfectly, only concern is I feel like when I'm using the browser that the % drops like a rock in contrast to when I'm just doing normal activities like calls and text. In fact I can speak for quite some time and there's hardly a % change.

When you are browsing with WiFi in Stock browser then battery drains at a rate of 1% per 3/4 minutes. Try Opera, it's a little bit of less hogger
Regards.
I've been using 3G/HSDPA, no WiFi access here. I think on data it is about that about of % decrease for me. I can survive with it as I don't browse on the go much but at home it feels like a disappointment.
Anyone figured out how to replace the task manager for long press home button?

[Q] cyanogenmod 7 slow

Hello guys
I'm new ith this rom I jut downloaded it yesterday It' very nice and very speed in every place expect the launcher(ADW) When i opened any app and this click home button it takes a few seconds to write widgets and icon
I have only 1 screen with 3 widgets and 3 icons !!!!!
why it's slow like that should I do some thing or download another launcher or what?
please help me!!
well i guess u dont need to download anything or any other launcher and i guess its the cm7 behaviour ..
but I heard it ill make my phone very faster
Maybe it's your phone that dosen't work with Cynaogenmod well
but every thing expect the home screen works good
The app(s) dosen't work well in Cyanogen?
NOOOOOOo it works very well
but the home screen only
I meant the widgets don't work well
the widget works well but it takes some seconds to appear also icons
I mean the launcher seems to start again every time
When i have Widgets on my U8300 it takes some time (Like 10 secs)
EDIT: What phone?
why??
this is the question we should find a reason
lg optimus me
The launcher only is the slow
it seems it starts again every time i press the home button
So what should I do install Another rom or launcher
Try reinstalling the stock rom and see if that works (If it dosen't it's the phone)
Will it delete my apps??
OR DATA??
Yes but just sync contacts to google and use titanium backup
dude.....it works fine on optimus .did u wipe cache and dalvik ?if yes den..maybe u ve put too many widgets that suck the ram..try less widgets den try.if the problm is still der den try reflashing
I got the idea
That I'm cm7 when you you click back button you close the app you don't. Close it but u should enable the back long press app close

Sounds like your launcher is getting forced out of memory often, thus making it 'redraw' home all the time. This happens a lot on older phones with low ram. To fix the problem on my droid 1, lock the home app in memory. There is a setting for this in the CM settings. The purge assets setting also helped me with overall performance.
Most likely it your phone having issue since I have use CyanogenMod in various device and most doesn't have issue. Since CM7 is the most stable ROM I could say is out there.

[Q] lock screen lag on CM 9

Hello,
I own an international SGS2. I'm new to custom ROMs and CM9 was the first one that I installed on my SGS2. It was a nightly build from 03.22.2012. It runs very smoothly, except for one detail: when I lock the screen, it takes like 3-4 seconds for it to wake up after I press a button. But while it is charging this doesnt happen; it responds immediately after I press a button. Any ideas on why this is happening and/or how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
PS: Ive tried many things, like uninstalling apps, changing launchers, different wallpapers, a few lockscreens, different ways of screen locking (face unlock, none, slide, etc..) and it happens no matter what I do!
Does ttöhe lag present even when you lock your phone and then right after that unlock it again?
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
If I do it fast it doesnt present. But if I let like two srconds pass, then the lag presents.
Any ideas??
Anyone?? :/
it takes time to wake up from deep sleep
thats why cm9 has amazing battery life
Thanks for your reply.
So this happens to everyone with CM9?
I don't have it I'm on latest build and I have horrible battery life

[Q] UltimaRom 4.0 - Display being toggle'd on when turning it off

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!

[Q] Flickering Multicolored Lines

For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.
Here is my Rom history as the problem began:
Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present
Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.
I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.
I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).
Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
Same issue here
I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.
I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.
I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.
I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.
I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.
Try turning off CRT animations and disable hw overlays.

disabling hardware overlays always fixes it for me
same issue
Have the same issue going on had freezing and resolved that now I'm stuck on these lines multiple diff ROMs I am running cm10 I see people saying he overlays can someone provide a little more info on what that is and where to find it? Attaching screen shots of these multi color lines we speak of
Nvm can do it with the browser will edit this later and add them with a pc

Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.

Do you have any backlight handling apps? I used lux all the time and it stopped after I disabled it.

Just enabled "Disabled HW overlay" and "Force GPU rendering". Like some of the users suggested, I found about the possible solution from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhPPke_Nbw
(go to 1:40)
I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks
Please elaborate

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.
Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.
