[Q] S3 unlock lag - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'm running the latest version of Slim Bean with stock modem XXLE8 and whatever kernel comes with Slim. I've noticed that there is a 1.5-2 second delay upon hitting the power or home button to the screen turning on and being ready to use. It's pretty annoying as you can imagine, I've actually figured out what the problem is, my phone is going to deep sleep too early and is taking up to 2 seconds to wake up, I wouldn't mind this if the phone has been left alone for 2 hours or so, but if I leave my phone for 5 minutes I shouldn't have to wait 2 seconds to unlock it. I came to this conclusion by using the app softlocker from the market, which disables sleep, and the lockscreen is perfectly fine with no lag, so should I try a new modem or a new kernel or is there something else I have to try to solve this issue?

There are already some discussions about that problem:

It is a very annoying problem and I don't really understand how a top range device like the Galaxy S3 has such a problem.
I was hopping that the official Jelly Bean update would fix it... If it does not, I will contact Samsung (as should everyone who is annoyed by the wake up lag).

I've read both but neither seem to provide much of a solution. It is pretty ridiculous a phone like the S3 with such powerful hardware suffers from unlock lag. My HTC Desire Z used to unlock instantly... Kinda disappointing.

I'm totally annoyed because of this problem, too.
isn't there a kernel or something where this doesnt happen??

No issues with Omega v34, instant

I've been looking but can't seem to find one. The delay is about 1.5-2 seconds on Siyah, was about the same with YANK kernel.

Hmmmmm I might flash a stock rom and check it out because I don't remember it happening when I was running stock, tho that was for a grand total of 3 days lol.

This has always been a particular issue surrounding the Android software in terms of the optimisation of the OS...Keep in mind that kernels and ROMs with plently of adjustment may also mean plenty of variables, as small settings adjustments may alter and cause detrimental lags and issues as such. I use Phenomenal which is pretty good as there is little adjustments, disabled logs and undervolted...very good battery and response...I would recommend looking at something like that...unfortunately, should you wish not to root your device and keep it as standard, you may look at if there is an app that might be causing your the issue...but please note that slow unlocking/wake is because the device is in deep sleep.

sure, but i own quite a view other android phones and none behaves like the s3, not even the superlow-budget htc one v
i installed the omega 4.2 AOKP rom today, but the lag is there, too....i got back to arhd for now...
theres a app called softlocker, but with that the cpu never gets to deepsleep, my s3 gets warm and the battery drains badly

Lock screen lag / delay - any fix out there yet?

Just wondering if there are any fixes out there for the lockscreen lag / delay that seem to be an ongoing issue in Samsung based ROMs.
For anyone not knowing what I mean, its the way that the homescreen appears briefly after waking the phone before the lock screen appears. Its not a big deal, but does look a little "unpolished". Its an issue, that, if I can fix, would solve one of my last remaining issues with the phone.
Try cm7,cm9 or miui. It wakes before you press home
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I know they do, as I've tried them all... but I'm on a Samsung based ROM, and as I've got my phone set up exactly how I want it, I'll be staying on it. I'm using the Samsung based ROM because (shock horror) I quite like the way it looks, and is the most "fluid" / smoothest I've tried so far.
Any new about this delay?
Why is it happens? Maybe because the cpu clockdown or something so its take another second to wake the screen on?

What a load of BS. The S2 will always take at least 0.65 seconds to wake-up, no matter what Rom, kernel, whatever you use.

I know there are many threads regarding this, I have myself one. One of my friends said to me that his s2 wakes up instantly after he presses the home/power button. It is also said that the new aokp roms solved this issue,and users reported this too. But there are others,like me, who still have the lag (1-2 seconds). So i guess i did something wrong with the installation of the roms or anything else. I can't figure it out.
Well,i tried both cm9 and miui roms and i still have the lag.
seems like it should be a 'lag' because the deep sleep mode, its save much more battery on idle..
i'v just notice it too, maybe it always was ...
correct me if i'm wrong...

+1, ur very true ma8 as long as the phone is in perfect deepsleep mode this lag of 1~2 sec do remain and its nothing when compared to the better batt life with good deepsleep
PS- just check the same when ur phone is charging and u dont see that lag since its @ 200mhz always

i know about deep sleep mode. but i don't understand why some people have this lag and others don't.
Maybe for them 1-2 sec ain't call 'lag'.
Until you'll see it in your own eyes, you could judge.. . I bet they didn't waited at least 10 sec to get into the deep sleep...

ICS Screen flickering bug.

Hi,
After ICS update I noticed a very annoing and frequent bug.
It was described by other users in these subforums, and factory reset can not help it.
It is difficult to describe, as it lasts for maybe one tenth of a second and I can't find a proper word for this as I'm not a native English speaker.
But I recorded a video, so you can see this.
It's like a single flickerring in a shape of triangle in left bottom part of the active window or entire screen - a short white blink.
In the video I show it happening when pressing Menu for Recent Tasks, but it happens in other occasions too.
When playing video there are also some 1/10 second distortions - difficult to describe, but I suspect they have something in common with this bug...
Let's hope Sony will see this and fix this bug.
I really wonder how such a bug could have left after the development stage. I, as a regular user, have noticed this after a couple of hours of playing with the tablet. What about Sony testers?
It's annoying!! its happening to me also, mines are black, and they happen in the left side of the tablet screen. :/
Not seeing flickering on mine yet.
Im just here because i am looking for a system dump to port things but it is a common issue on the Asus Transformer on ICS as well It is not a device specific bug but rather one in google's code. One fix is to only have <5 apps running at a time
Mine does not show this flickering .
Also....this is a development section of the forum . Your question should have been posted in the Tablet S General section
This is happening to a lot of us. It has already been discussed in the General section under the ICS First Impressions topic.

This is very useful info. Thank you!!!!
I had it a little yesterday but it's gone today
Got it too but its not that annoying,
It does not happen all the time its just an google thing,
It will not damage anything but if you think its to annoying then you could try
to use a CPU speed up "Dont apply EXTREME" that will higher the chance to
crash your device, i think the tegra chip is getting to much info to read,
so its a sort of buffer overrun maby speed up app will lower the flickering

You can't over clock the kernel.. We don't have a kernel which supports that yet
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I have flickering too. It's probably due to low ram at certain points. Even with the flickering on occasion, the recent apps list is MUCH faster than on Honeycomb.
the flickering only happens on my tablet when it's in the cradle on clock mode and it stops completely if I use a regular wallpaper instead of a live wallpaper
To me flickering happens when I open recent apps on the launcher or when I ve a popup (inside the application, on internet etc.) with a dark trasparent effect under. The same graphical problem turn up heavily with the youtube application or sometime using keyboard.
It's very very annoying this problem. It doesn't limit the use of the tablet, which is very fast and smooth, but simply ruins something which, simply, would be perfect without it.
It will be interesting create a class action, a mail, with the signature of who wants a resolution of this problem, to send to Sony for forcing it to realize a solution.

Let me retract my previous statement. Since I've rooted ICS and have been using it more and I do see screen flickering occasionally.
I can't say that I see any performance improvement with ICS though.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/lg-optimus-4x-hands-on/
25 seconds into the video, you can see it happen on the new LG optimus 4X, i think it may be something to do with ICS.
If you people bothered to read the entire thread you would see that it has happened to other tablets. Not only the Sony. ASUS has this problem as well.
Read the thread and you will see
Yup ISC bug, first i didn't give a shhh.. but now its getting pretty annoying i hope it will be better with 4.0.4. Wich runs super smooth on my Samsung Galaxy S2 in tablet mode.
yes, have the same problem! It's annoying!

Slow wake up

When I lock the screen of my Galaxy S3, then press either the power button or the home button to show the lockscreen, about half the time it takes about 2 seconds to show the screen after button press. I've searched and seen S-Voice caused this problem so I disabled that. I also removed my SD card and rebooted but the same issue still occurs.
Any way to fix this because my HTC One X didn't have this problem...
Thanks.

Power saving mode is already off. I don't particularly want to flash a ROM unless I have to because I've had warranty troubles in the past. Are you certain a ROM would fix it? Which ROM?
And I also tune lock screen off.
Do you install any power save app??
Two Whole Seconds close your eyes and count to ten not worth the bother wait for JB release ,

I get this also. Got it on the Stock ROM and ARHD. I have also seen this on my gf's Galaxy Ace, but only when upgraded to GB. On Froyo (Yes, that old version) it turns on instantly. So think it might be a Samsung thing. Not yet tried an AOSP ROM on my S III yet so may give that a go as itching to get some Jelly Bean on it.
Hello! I am new to xda forums and this is my first post
I also have a problem with slow wake up time from sleep after flashing the latest Synergy rom. Any ideas why this lag happens?
Thank you in advance!
this lag is killing me. it's mega retarded that high end phone is having this kind of bug.
any rom without slow wake lag to reccommend?

Lag is hardware-related looks like. Present on CM10 based ROMs as well. On stock-based disabling S-Voice helps just a little bit when it comes to waking up from Home button...
Killing me as well. :\ What I getting used to is to press Home while pulling phone out - straight away so by the time I get it in position to work with, the screen is either already on or will be on in a 200-500 ms.
Still this is a most frustrating "feature" of SGS3 that will most likely force me to look for replacements once those are available on the market.
The issue is still present even in the latest Paranoid Android ROM.
After tweaking a bit, I found that if you have WiFi enabled, will cause this lag.
Just disable the WiFi and you get instant screen wake up.

This problem annoys me to death too. I've tried many ICS/JB stock ROM and custom ROM (including CM10), but none of them could solve the problem.
I did notice some trend: right after a reboot, the screen turns on fairly quickly. Then after turning on the network (mobile data or wifi) and use facebook or other apps that access network for a few minutes, the delay starts to increase to the usual ~2sec. Looks like some network process might be causing the problem. FYI, My cousin's Note 2 don't seem to have this problem.
Any hacker out there can give some hints or help find out what process might be the culprit?
it's because the phone goes into deep sleep, to prevent this you can download a app that named softlocker. you may get not as good batterytime.

From what I see, I don't believe deep sleep is the problem. My LG P500 (running ICS) goes into deep sleep all the time (per CPU spy et al), and it never has this problem. Seems to me like something else is causing this...

no other brands have this problem. only samsung, thats so strange.
I too suffer from wakeup delay of 1-2 seconds and it's driving me crazy.
After 2 long years I had to live with majestically f**ed up LG Optimus 2X, I finally decided to throw that junk away and get a phone that works as expected, phone performance of which would be equal to it's price (and the price was not something that limited me).
Now I own a phone which even though is snappy and nice and everything, takes ages to wake up. And what pisses me off the most is that Samsung is OK with that, because obviously majority of the customers / owners is OK with that. How is that possible ffs. Low end devices for fraction of that price resume from deep sleep almost immediatelly (in time I don't consider waiting). How's that this is not a big issue ?!
Sorry, I'm just frustrated
EDIT: To add something constructive ... the deep sleep really is the problem here. If the phone doesn't go to deep sleep, wake up to lockscreen is instantaneous (try that by yourselves with SoftLocker app). It's believed that S3 suffers from this issue because of the way the GSM modem is integrated with (or in ? I am not sure) Exynos4 - source.
I just smacked my phone in the table, while in my pocket and now I"m experiencing the same problem. Is this even possible, or I had it before and just didnt notice till now?!

Holy hell Batman at the Battery Drain!

Is anyone else getting Android OS around 50-60% battery use?
I have tried every ROM included going back to stock. I have ran the phone with nothing but Stock and no apps installed for a day and still get the same drain so I can only assume its a kernel issue.
I am not familiar with LG products in the slightest, but I had a yellow screen of death the other day...something I have never seen in my years with samsung android products. Anyone have any idea what this is maybe it is pointing to a hardware issue?
LG made a great phone, but I don't think I will keep it much longer. Locked boot loaders, no sources, and history of terrible updates have me regretting purchasing this phone. I tried my hand at building a working jb release when I first got the phone and it is going to take a skill set I do not have and I hate waiting on a company to do what they've never done in the past..

Easy, brother. I have only had one of my apps/utilities run higher than AndroidOS ever on this phone; however, that said, I think there is a problem with the way it's being calculated. I'm getting really good battery life with good sleep and still AndroidOS shows the highest by far. I know that's abnormal for it to be so high and still get good battery life, but it is what it is.
Edit: you've installed the fast dormancy toggle, right? As for the yellow screen, I've seen it once in my two months with the phone, just rebooted and carried on. Forgot what they said it was...but it is here in this forum somewhere.

I was just about to post something similar. Andriod OS being high kind of makes sense if nothing else is using the battery, although you would expect that number to fall significantly with increased screen on time and heavy app usage, which it doesn't ever seem to.
I've been having horrible battery drain lately. I'm currently traveling for business, and just use my OG for web surfing and stuff when I'm in my hotel. I leave the phone in airplane mode, with WiFi on. About two weeks ago, when I was on The Base 0.4 in that same configuration, my battery would drain maybe 1% an hour while I was sleeping.
Recently I've been on The Base 0.7.3, and my battery drains over 5% an hour while I'm sleeping. This means no screen on, no apps running, and even turning WiFi off! How does it use that much battery when it's not doing anything? Now, I'm not entirely sure what kernel I'm running. The first time I installed The Base 0.7.3 I used sk8's kernel. After getting poor battery life, I reflashed 0.7 and 0.7.3, this time choosing the freegee kernel. I'm not actually sure if the kernel changed though.
Anyway, I think I'll post again tomorrow with some screenshots from Better Battery Stats+ and CPU Spy.
I'm wondering if this recent botched update had the battery fixes we need. Hopefully they'll re-release it soon.

When I would get bad drain, which has happened several times, I could narrow it down to a couple things in order to solve the problem.
In my case it would always happen after installing Google+. Uninstall and reboot would usually fix the issue. If I got drain on a fresh install without g+ installed, I found that if I installed the 2.2 kernel separately as a stand alone zip, that would fix it. Don't know why but it may work for you too.
I don't have screen shots, but today I recharged at 38% after 3:10 of phone use and 1:55 screen on time and about 15 hours off charger. That's with Wi-Fi on the whole time and Bluetooth for about 9 hours. I have my work exchange account on active sync with push notifications. Facebook and Twitterer to 4 hour intervals. I'm underclocked to 1350 and using powersave gov with deadline.

Believe you are correct. There were issues on the Samsung Infuse and even the international SGS3 for a while... it was referred to as 'memory leak.' Has been worked out by devs on XDA. You can put memory leak in the XDA search above... it's above my pay grade.
Edit: It's great to see another RD here... hope you will reconsider keeping the phone and stay !!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have Google+ uninstalled, but part of me thinks Google Now may be partially the culprit (although why that would be the case with all radios off, I don't know).
I'll try a fresh install of the 2.2 kernel and see if that helps. Thanks.
I can't speak for anyone else but FDT did wonders for my battery life. I was only able to go about 12 hours prior to disabling FD.

^^^ This is indeed worth considering.... I think the question then becomes why is it consistent among the 3 roms we are using? Maybe when JB source is out and something is built from source all will be good.

I would be less inclined to believe it is a faulty measure if we had a different ROM not built off stock (AOKP/CM10) that could produce different values. However, I seriously doubt anything built into either of the two custom ROM's is geared toward normalizing that reading. That's why they are both the same as the stock AndroidOS percentages. Jivy is probably right that it's a kernel issue. With the size battery we have, imagine the potential if it is a true reading (androidOS out-of-control) and we can get it under control down the road. We're talking double the current best battery life you've ever had on this phone at the very least.

Get BetterBatteryStats, select Since unplugged and Alarms to see what is waking the device (making it not go into a deep sleep). eBay was a big culprit for me.
The wakelock that keeps the phone awake during background data transfer (screen off) lasts 6 seconds (I am guessing it does it in multiples of 6s) regardless of how long the sync takes. Everytime email, facebook, gmail, drive, picasa, twitter, g+, google maps, ebay, calendar, contacts.. whatever wakes the phone to check something, it will be a minimum of 6 seconds.. This adds up over the course of the day and it is counted in the Android OS. Shut down syncs you don't absolutely want/need and this number will go down. All phones with the Snapdragon S4 Pro has it, especially the Nexus4. It seems they've done some kernel work to fix/reduce it but I havent really looked into it since I don't have that phone. I've seen complaints in the Droid DNA forum as well.

This. EBay for me too. BetterBatteryStats is your friend.
Anyone else experiencing scrolling lag or delay. Clearing cache and wiping dalvik fixes it but the issue returns after about two days.

[Q] 4.3 Compounding Lag?

Hey guys, I'm currently using Samsung's 4.3 ROM (XXUGMJ9) with DerTeufel1980's Devil2 kernel.
After leaving my phone for a few hours, I return to it and notice that the phone lags a lot. It wakes up quickly but the entire UI is very laggy. CPU stats shows that the phone is using all cores at 1.4Ghz with usage typically above 80%. If I leave my phone on idle for just a hour or two, it does begin to lag but not as much as if I left it for 5+ hours. If I leave my phone overnight, I'll return to it switched off (I do believe that this is related to the lag issue). If I restart the phone, the problem disappears - is anybody else getting this or is this just me?
Samsung have just re-released fixed 4.3.

I've heard about today's release, been trying to get my hands on it but it doesn't seem like anyone has posted anything reliable. But yeah, I know the current ROMs are very buggy, I was just wondering if this was one of the bugs or just me doing something that messed it up somehow

Its the rom's fault. Dun worry I always advise tat u wait for a week after samsung releases 4.3 to see if others reported bugs or anything.
