Bell i757m screen turn on issues - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got this weird issues with CM9 on my phone. Occasionally when I try and turn my screen on itll do the CRT animation off, so essentially the power button will turn my screen on for a second, then off. Any suggestions? I have a SGS2HDLTE I757m from Bell Canada using CM( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740188&page=2 )

I wish it had it's own section but unfortunately it does not. The mods have approved all discussions and ROMS be posted in this forum. There's really only one port of CM9 for this device anyway, theres not enough development on it to give it it's own forum.

Disable crt animation, which is probably not yet perfect for the CM9 you are running.
This is how to disable crt animation:
- Goto Settings - Development option
- change "Animation duration scale" to 0.5x
Done

Thanks for the reply! I turned off the CRT animation under device > display> and unchecked enable "Screen off animation" but when I go into developer options I dont have "animation duration scale" I have "windows animation scale" and "transition animation scale" which I can set to 0.5x. I'm guessing it's transition animation scale you want me to change but I want to make sure of this.

No need again since you already disabled crt animation.
The option is available in Jellybean.

Hi again, I thought this fixed the problem but it happened again today. This time The phone would turn on but be unresponsive at the lock screen however if I did a long press on the power it would show me the reboot screen... Occasionally it would respond to some of my PIN button presses but it was very laggy and would take a long time. Anyone have any other suggestions, I REALLY don't want to reflash touchCrap ICS.. Just a side not ive flashed this phone 3 times already and had the same issue.

Changed min CPU speed from 384MHz to 432MHz using the ONDEMAND governor. Do you think this is for sure a kernel issue? Can I re-enable the CRT animation and lock screen? I disabled both and so far today it hasn't happened at all, but if I can I'd like to re add the animations. Thanks a lot for your input, Hitting thanks again!

Yeah!, In GT I9100 custom kernels, We now have touch boost. Touch boost increases the GPU speed to a much higher level when the screen is turned on. This prevents lag and unresponsiveness of the touch screen.
The CRT animation depends on you. The bug you reported initially will still be present anyway.

Screen wake

i've noticed that the SGA has no animation when waking up. When you press the power/home button, the back/menu buttons light up but the screen takes about 1 second longer to turn on, but without any fading in/out animation.
Is there a way to fix this or making a screen on animation? CM7 settings don't help either and this is bugging me because it makes the SGA seem like a slower phone.
Like it or not, SGA is a slower phone.
i know but i dont like how the screen wake is instant rather than a fade effect like other phones.
My old LG Optimus One had a smoother wake effect.

[Q] Upside Down Screen

So im running ICScrewed 1.6 rom, and if i hold the phone sideways and put it in sleepmode, when i wake it back up, the screen is upsidedown, and the words are mirrored. I already tried reflashing the rom. Anything I can do? Yes im a noob
In jkay in check the CRT TV animation on. Its buggy
sent from the Dark Obelisk.
just do a screen capture (hold home and press power button)
no need to reboot.
thats all i got for right now
It is my understanding that Fancy Rotations is causing this, but don't take my word for it. (read it in one of the ICS-themed ROM threads.)
Noz might be onto something because I notice my screen go upside-down real quick as it locks (CRT Animation on). It never gets stuck like the OP is describing but I do notice this happens for a quick second before my screen shuts off.

This makes it worse.
In the ICScrewed thread there is a CWM flashable zip called "Remove Fancy Rotations". Install that using CWM and your problem will be gone. Its been brought up a lot in that thread.
Ment to say turn the CRT off.

Yea that does help, but I still got the upside down screen when using GOSMS and popup notifications. Pretty damn annoying. Removing fancy rotations does the trick though. Fancy rotations are nice and all, but nowhere near worth it for the screen bug.
I randomly got that yesterday. Took a screen shot and all is well
Strange issue though.
Sent from my AT&T cellular device.
Happened to me too. The best part about it is that while in the inverted and upside down state, you press the sane area on the screen to select things. Very tricky to reboot . But yes, after disabbling crt off anim it stopped occurring.

Removing Fancy Rotations is the only real way to prevent this from happening. Good post.
Hmm, my GF just called me about this.
Odd we are running the same everything and that has yet to happen to me.

[Q] lock light flash?

I installed aokp from task650 & ktoonsez. I think it's brilliant and I am pleased.
I am not sure if this feature is unique to aokp or jellybean in general, but when I click the power button to lock screen / sleep, there's a distinct white flash of light like an old CRT monitor turning off. Is there any way to disable this and simply have the screen go black instead?
Thank you.

You must be really new to this. I don't recall aokp having an option to turn that off, but if it did, it would be called something like "crt animation."
If you go to dev options and change your animation speed it disables it
Members if you are not going to be providing with your posts...since this is the Q&A, then move on, I hope we understand. No need for non helping/unprovided posts.
Thank You.

Notification bar

Hello everyone..
I just bought the Mega 6.3 .. and am very happy with it and its running very well and smooth . but just one problem with the notification bar when i pull it down its slow and lagging , not smooth at all. and sometime take long time to drop down.. anyone can help me with this problem if there is a fix for it please reply me... and also sometimes when i press the home bottom to go the home screen , the widgets and the icons on the home screen loading very slow and appear slowly //
Turn animations to .5x instead of x1, or even off completely.
I'm having the same issue. My phone is fast everywhere except when I swipe down the notification bar. It's slow as molasses. It doesn't make any sense because the device is fast everywhere else.
Update: after turning animations off the notification bar is now fast again. I had to reboot for the animation changes to take effect.
Thank you so much for a quick reply, but one more thing i found 3 animation (Window animation scale, transition animation scale, animation duration scale), which one i should turn it off? Or all of them i off it..
Thanks a lot in advance

I turned all 3 to off. I didn't bother testing by first going down to .5x and seeing the results. I just turned the animations off as I don't really care.
I turned off all the animation and the notification became smooth and fast but after 2 days it got slow and lagging again, I don't know why, i kept the animation off all of them, please guys i need help with this problem, i really like this phone and this is the only problem i have it.....

Do you have all the features enabled like smart stay, multiwindow, etc? Check the running apps to see if you have lots of apps running in the background. You can use an app called Greenify to stop apps running in the background and slowing your phone.
I turned off and smart stay and also the multiwindow since the first day i bought the phone ,but i only turn on the air view, and i checked my background apps that running are not that much, btw my phone is NOT rooted, and it's ridiculous from Samsung that i can't use all the features of the phone that they advertised for such model and i even not root my phone or change anything, ..

Since the days of wm5 phones have been a compromise, large screen high power phones have awful battery life, we have got a good mix, large screen with reasonable performance and great battery life. I am very happy with the balance. If you want to run all the functions you are going to need the note 3. All IMHO of course

I don't have problems with the battery life , and i don't
care about the features i only use the air viewy, but i only have one problem with the notification lagging and slow when dropping it down, .. Even after turning off the animation scale..
I just wondering Samsung after making a phone with all these features they testing it and how come they didn't notice the lagging or maybe they did notice and they said it's okay people will buy it anyway and they will give us their money..
I like Samsung cuz i know they are the best in my opinion but sometimes for a small easy things they make me hate them...

I never had problems with the notification lagging or being slow when dropping it down.
I don't think it's a common problem so it might just be your phone's set-up.

Go to Settings > More > Developer options > Scroll down to find: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale
Tap each of these to show the options. I suggest choosing 0.5x or turning them off.
Check this out. There is no Developer options in the "More" tab??
What gives.. XXUAMEA.

Very nice! ... Thanks. I never did have a problem with notification lag, but did turn off the animations.
We'll see if I notice any differences. Thanks again
Guys i did wipe cash from original recovery (my phone not rooted) then i got error written in the middle of the screen and then the phone restart and then the notification became smooth and normal, but now am wondering why it showed error even when i wipe data..

I just returned my mega as I couldn't deal with the slow notification bar. I loved the device but having the notification bar lag so bad was the deal breaker.

When Screen Turns Off

So this isn't really a big deal but when my screen turns off it turns off like a tv where as when it turns on it just pops up like normal. Is this just how it is with ROMs or is there a way to change it back. I noticed this was happening too with my LG Esteem.

Depending on the ROM you should be able to disable CRT animation in display settings or general rom settings.

Odd. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has created a mod to remove the CRT animation. Check the mod threads and see. You can always try requesting the mod, or even ask in the rom thread for a toggle.
