Has anyone experience some form of lag/delay/unresponsiveness for the GS5? I had to sometimes wait more than 10 secs for the lock screen to load or hold down the power/wake button to get the screen to show up. Please let me know if I should get my GS5 replaced! Thank you!

I noticed this started to happen when I started using the fingerprint. Also if you turn off the lock screen just as it coming on or if you turn it on just as it is going off. Seem to get confused and can take time to respond and yes 10 seconds sounds about right of me as well.
I realized when it started doing it was when the AutoProtect was enabled and My Magazine enabled and Geo News enabled. It's been 24 hrs since I turned it off and it seems to have stopped!
I think it's AutoProtect that caused the lock screen lag. Let me know if it stopped doing it for you!
yes i have this problem, i play alot of music and alot of times the tracks dont change and they will change a minute later, the lag seems ramdom.
i remove my magazine and geo news since i dont use either and will test it
thanks for the tips because this was driving me crazy
Don't forget about Autoprotect, It's been 18 hours since I turned it off and I haven't had the lock screen problem.

Are you running ART? If so try switching back to Dalvik. I have seen reports that ART is causing some people issues with their lock screen.

nope regular dalvik
never experience that before with the note 2 or note 3
the bad thing is random
I had the same thing on the GS4 and I've had it happen once or twice on my S5. It usually only happens when I've left the phone asleep for a while. I think it's most likely a software issue though, so I wouldn't bother replacing it.

I've never had none of these issues with the phone. Seems to be user errors or modifications done by user. I see a lot of post about xposed causing disruptions in system. Just cause u can do it doesn't mean its worth tinkering with.

Yes, since I don't have the problem it must be the users. Always love people who can't help but have to try to defend the phone manufacturer. The Black screen is a real problem for more than a few folks, you can google it if you don't believe me. I run a stock phone, and have made no changes, maybe I have four games on it, and have disabled some of the bloat. Recently and quite randomly, the screen will refuse to come on. Everything on the phone continues to run and it will even ring when you call it, but still the screen remains black until I pull the battery. I read that AT&T has resolved the issue and is sending out a fix as I type this. Don't know if the other carriers will follow suit or not.
It is a inconvenience to say the least but many users have tried all the known methods available to no avail. Seems to work fine for a undetermined period and then starts acting up again. I am notifying TMO tomorrow and see if they are going to be releasing the patch. If not, I guess it will be time to jump, Again.
Not sure if this is the root cause or not but seems to have done the trick for me so far..... I turned off auto brightness, and so far have not been able to replicate the problem, not sure though, my Note 3 would never let me use the auto brightness feature, when I would enable it on that phone the screen would always be way to bright. This one was the opposite. Could it be bad proximity sensors or the firmware that controls it? Need more people with the problem to test and report.
I too have had the black screen issue and the only fix is pulling the battery. It has happened 2x now, once completely stock and once since I rooted!

I am increasingly wanting to revert back to my S2 after 2 days of owning the S3, and getting nowhere with syncing and settings, wifi/packet data recognition (or lack of), being able to continuously use apps, motion settings not working for me and keyboard fail!!!
I have been trying to backup the S3 for the last couple of hours to Kies and it seems to be taking its time, however it is still switched on which is a good start I think.
Biggest issue is using the keyboard in the txt message app and in forums/social sites. The keyboard is extremely slow and unresponsive (new issue started today) and then when I hit send/post etc.. the phone screen goes blank and the phone becomes unresponsive. I have had to either remove the battery, replace and switch he phone on or long hold the power button - 7-10 seconds. I don't think this is normal. I am yet to root the phone but I'm too scared to in case I brick it. Yesterday it randomly switched off but today it is not only random but when I try to post anything.
Motion settings are enabled (major feature I chose it for) and they're not working either.

don't cry. just return the set. what you are facing is absolutely not a normal situation. You have got a faulty set. just return it instead of rooting or trying roms etc.

Really thinking I might have to, but it was painstaking to sync all data, apps, photos etc from the S2. I was hoping it was an issue with not having day/sleep mode settings? Or some other simple issue that I've over looked

ignoring such simple settings don't result in such a mess. If the set is in warranty then let Samsung take care of it instead of you going through the trouble. If motion sensors are enabled but not working then it may be a hardware issue (faulty gyroscope).

First thing to do: factory reset!
Then do not restore anything from your S2 and see if you still have these issues
-if you still have these issues: faulty device to return
-if your issues are gone: something went wrong when you restore from S2
I would like to add that if you have everything enabled you will get lag and freezes, try disabling some of the features...face awake, some of the motions etc, usually it is just a matter of setting up your phone right, it only has a certain amount of ram and all those fancy novelties use it up
In the middle of a factory reset. Only took 4 hours to back up the device. I'll try to disable some features and post an update with how I go. I really appreciate the advice

My phone occasionally doesn't get locked automatically. Whenever I receive a message or notification, the screen would come up but doesn't go back into sleep mode after certain time. It just stays awake unless you lock it manually. It doesn't happen all the time but I've noticed it's happening more frequently now days. This just kills my battery life.
Is this known issue with the phone? My phone is just rooted without any custom roms. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I'm having the exact same problem, it would be much appreciated if someone can suggest a solution. I'm currently running the base ROM.
When I got the phone a few days ago mine would take time to lock. I went to settings > display>lockscreen>lock timer and set it to immediately. It has worked fine since - rooted, stock rom.

I am experiencing the same problem as everyone. I just noticed it now. Everything set to minimum of staying awake. I have to manually lock it too. Noticed it when I was charging. I havent noticed it before until now. Also some chargers dont work well with the Optimus G which causes the touchscreen to be sensored when nothing is touching it. I dont know why its staying awake besides that.

If you are using the base ROM, there is a script that gets run each boot that sets the stay awake option to on in the developer options.
It was left over from some testing of the ROM. Nottach said it was safe to get rid of.
The offending script is in /system/etc/init.d/
It is called 69thebase (or something like that, I no longer have the file, I know it is numbered 69).
After you delete it, just go back to developer options and make sure stay awake is unchecked and reboot.
Original Post
Now, you have had issues with non-LG chargers causing touch issues?
I let a family member borrow mine because they left theirs at work. I have been using my old phones charger, and just noticed my screen is really bad when plugged in... it loses touch and it is really slow.
It is from the charger and not the phone?
Awesome.
Thanks.
It's happened alot over past two weeks and it's now done it 3 times in past 2 1/2 days. Screen stays black press any button does nothing and hold down power still does nothing. Only way is to hold volume up and power for 3 vibrations then power back on its really annoying and must be due to some problem....?

Go to settings and disable auto brightness. I'm not sure why it works, but after researching for a while on this same issue, this is the setting that worked for me. Try it and update us if it works.

Did you guys update to 257 without wiping? I didn't wipe, but there might be some bugs sticking around from 532. Do a factory reset (full wipe if you have recovery) and see if that solves it.
any updates on this issue .the device screen simply doesnt wake-up from sleep ,unless you hard reboot .
i'm on 290 stock ,and testing the auto brightness disable method.
update : issue persists with auto-brightness disabled .
Hmm, it has to be a software bug. I can't see how this could be a hardware issue. Have you tried everything? Wiping? Re-flashing? Flashing a different ROM?
I did still get it on stock rooted rom. Twice in a day

I have it just once though two days ago. Force reboot it by the button i almost gone mad when it's still not working, but somehow after a minute, it's normal again. I don't know why. But in case of yours, try to upgrade to the latest ROM first. That might fix it for you. No point for rooting if you can't fix the problem so let it go.

Couple of things.
One, with upgrades like this, it's usually a good idea to do a factory reset after backing up your data. 4.3 was like this.
Two, when installing an update/new Rom, sometimes it takes a couple of days for it to "calm down" and settle in.
Thanks lawless.

About the screen off during phone calls; there's a setting in the Call menu you can tick to prevent the screen cutting off during calls. That might be it.
Every so often, my G3 will become unresponsive. Usually happens right after the screen comes on - the interface freezes. Pressing the power button does nothing, pressing and holding the power button does nothing. I have to remove the battery in order to reset the phone.
I did search the forums, but was not able to find any similar threads or posts, was curious if I was the only one having this problem. Any ideas what might be causing this? Anyone else have any luck identifying root cause and correcting the issue?
Appreciate any help you guys can provide.

If the problem goes away on Dalvik, I would suspect you have some app installed that gets activated on startup, and isn't 100% compatible with ART. While most apps work fine with ART, not all do. Google has made it clear that the version of ART on KitKat is experimental, and the version on 'L' will be much different.
I'm on dalvik and my phone has started this. Not sure what I've changed in the last days. Running alogcat but since starting I can't reproduce it.
I ran into this problem a while back. Since I never used the LG Keyboard I tried to freeze and/or Greenify the darn thing but that caused the phone to just pause for an extended period of time when waking up. Apparently it really wants LG Keyboard to be around. So I just made sure it wasn't the default keyboard. The phone never really became permanently unresponsive; after fifteen to twenty minutes it finally woke up. But who wants that?
Reverting back to Dalvik appeared to do the trick. It's been a few days, and my device hasn't locked-up/become unresponsive since making the change. Normally I would experience one lock-up/unresponsive event once a day, or every other day.

I have had Google Keyboard set to default input since I purchased my G3; LG Keyboard left a lot to be desired in terms of performance and functionality. I never witnessed my device "wake up" like you described, but to be fair I never let it go for that long, either. Usually after 5 minutes or so my patience would wane and the battery would be pulled. And to your point, no one, and I mean no one, wants to wait 15-20 minutes for their device to return to a usable state.

Why are you trying to use ART,moron? ART is explicitly experimental. Use dalvik (like you're supposed to) and see if you still have lockups (which hpu won't, if you use the runtime that is already long established for running android). Duh.

Many users have switched to ART and have seen an improvement in performance. It seems to be device specific as to whether you will encounter issues or not. That being said, I don't think it warranted the "moron" name tag. Just trying to keep the forum friendly.

It's a knowing issue on LG G3.
There is no any exact solution for now.No matter your device was rooted or not,art or dalvik, it could happened randomly.
