I hope someone has some experience of this problem, I will do my best to explain in some detail.
It is as out of the box currently running version 4.0.4 firmware.
The history, initially stock firmware version 4.0.3 was running, the USB was a little loose, so I swapped the complete pcb with another S2 I have with a faulty display, to make things a bit more complicated I also put in a 2Gb SD card, when I rebooted the problem appeared, on pressing the power button to wake up, the screen comes on to the lock screen in dimmed mode, and it will stay like it for anything from 5 to 15 seconds, then the screen will go to full brilliance and the screen can be unlocked.
What I have tried, removed and rebooted with sd card removed, swapped back the original USB pcb, and swapped back again as the problem remained, also upgraded to firmware version 4.0.4, that is more or less where I am now, the problem remains.
Have tried researching but unable to find anything relating to this problem, do you have any ideas?
Update:
After further reading, it appears the original firmware may have been customised, because I was not able to get Kies to connect with the device and the CSC was stated as 'unknown', which from what I have read indicates a custom ROM.
Having flashed the stock firmware , on the recovery menu I get still the message #Manual Mode# Appling Multi CSC.... Applied the CSC code: XEU Successfully applied multi CSC, which was also present with original firmware but it never actually applied the code as it stated CSC 'unknown'. but I can now connect with Kies and the CSC code is stated as I9100XEULPA.
Is it normal to get this message at the recovery menu?
Is it a symptom of the same lock screen delay issue?
Solved
I spent 6 weeks trying to fix this, the most aggravating of problems are sometimes very easy to cure when you know the answer!
Disable auto brightness, easy, your long wake up delay has now gone.
Let me know if it helped you.:good:

Hi,
I recently updated to the XWKI8 stock firmware and now the screen fails to time out I have tried setting the time out to 15s/30s/1 min but the screen never switches off.
Is this a know issue? Is there any work around? I am getting fantastic battery time gains by upgrading from 2.3.3 but all is lost the moment the screen gets turned on due to an incoming message (when the phone is in my pocket) and then never gets turned off)

1) Tried normal reboot since flash?
2) Updated via Kies? So maybe you try to reflash it but then you have to do it via Odin (Kies just see that it's the actually one)

Please try the following - if not already done:
1. Wipe cache partition in recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power).
2. If you have CWM then also clear Dalvik cache (for Java VM).
If that does not help either, you may have to make a hard reset (*2767*3855#).
As this will wipe internal SD card, be sure to have everything in a backup elsewhere.
EDIT:
Here is another guess to try before.
There are two different places where you can set the screen off time.
The one you found is (I am sure) in Menu => Settings => Display => Screen timeout.
The other one is in Menu => Locations and Security => Timeout.
Maybe there is an other value set on your phone.
Try to change this setting before wiping everything.
Good luck !
Resolved!
A combination of the above two suggestions resolved the problem. Tried setting and unsetting security options and rebooting. It seems to be working now.
Thanks guys!
My phone have 2 very weird issues since returning from the Service Center. 2 weeks back after changing my kernel to SiyahKernel 3.1rc5, I noticed my wifi no longer works (it was not be able to find any AP and will keep searching then automatically switch off). I reflash the phone back to stock GB ROM and stock kernel everything and confirm the wifi hardware is somehow damaged. I sent the phone to the Service Center and they have the motherboard replaced. Wifi works after that.
First thing I got home is to nandroid restore my phone prior to servicing. Wifi works now but I could not make any calls, sms or use mobile internet. I then realised the phone did not request for me to enter my SIM card PIN (I have always enabled this) when booting up. Once I disable the SIM card PIN, my calls, sms and mobile internet works! Funny thing is this problem only affect Samsung ICS ROMs (any firmware as I have tested many in the past 2 weeks), but the same SIM card lock function works fine with CM9 or Samsung GB ROMs. Just for the record, I tested this on pure stock Samsung ICS ROMs (no custom ROMs or kernels).
Another issue is the Power menu is missing (the menu that appears giving options to reboot or power off, and no I am not talking about the APM in custom ROMs). Now when the phone is not in standby, holding the power button will send the phone to shutdown immediately instead of presenting the usual power menu. Again, this only happens with a Samsung ICS ROM and not with CM9 or Samsung GB ROM.
I am not sure how the new motherboard could have caused all these software issues but I am fairly certain it is a hardware issue so I need some confirmation or possible fix if it is software related. I was thinking of sending my phone back to the service center but my problem is that these issues only affects Samsung ICS ROMs but ICS isn't official release in my country yet (yes I know it has been ages since the first official ICS ROM for the international SGS2 was released), so I can't really show these problems to the service center with ICS on my SG2.
I have captured the logcat of my phone with the above 2 issues with the following action sequence performed on the phone: Phone boots, Call (to 1633), test SMS, remove SIM card lock, Call (to 1633), Hold power button.
Any expert review on my issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Edit: problem solved without need for logcat, thus removed
Anyone has any idea what is the problem with my phone?

Maybe check your efs\imei folder the they keystr file? I had this problem before and the keystr file had disappeared after a flash

This was the solution! Thanks a million!!!
It had not occurred to me that the problem was with the /efs folder as the CM9 & GB ROMs didn't show the symptoms.
Thanks once again.
Hi everyone,
this is my first post, hoping to don't break some rule
sorry for may not so perfect english
I spent last two days searching info and threads in the forum but no luck.
I own two Galaxy S2, one is for research and modding ^_^ the other one is for stock use and work.
all of two were branded H3G Italy.
the one i use for testing is an MP1.300, actually it has the CBR AOSP ROM
and everyting go smooth apart from some little bug I'm notifying the author 89luca89.
In the past month i flashed various rom, official and modded, and all went like a charm.
Now the second phone: it was a stock 2.3.5 H3G branded phone, everything was ok (apart a problem i will explain later)
two days ago i updated the phone using kies and got the ICS 4.0.3 H3G, everything went well but after the restart the phone didn't recognize the sim, i tryied reflashing wiping rooting triple wiping unrooting etc and then i discovered two strange beaviors:
1) i was wrong, the sim GET RECOGNIZED from the phone but if there is the pin protection active the phone don't shows the unblocking request so no gsm network at all, if i remove the pin protection from the sim the phone works normally.
2) the power button now switch off the phone without show the power menu with the classic fly mode - data on/off reset shutdown etc.
To be shure it was a software problem and not an hardware one i flashed on this phone the CBR AOSP ROM and the phone worked normally with or without the pin, the power menu is ok and so on.
the strange thing is... the hardware model of the phone is MP 0.600 inspite of classic MP1.200 or 1.300.
now i'm asking you some tips... and i'm curious if someone can explain me that strange HW model (MP 0.600)
Now the aforementioned problem
this strange beavior already happened some months ago and after some days the phone didn't switch on at all so i send everything at service center and the phone returned me simply reflashed with 2.3.5 (the same rom it has when the problem appeared the first time.
Probably there is a strange behaviour with the hardware but i'm wondering why the AOSP rom work well..
I forgot to write that the IMEI is correct and that the sim works well in other phones and other sims show the same beaviour on the unlucky phone
all the roms ICS AOSP e AOKP works well, only official stock samsung ICS (H3G XEU XEN etc.) show the problem.
finally i flashed various modem but nothing changes.
sorry again for my bad english.

in another post someone asked me how i saw the hardware version of my phone...
following the procedure i used (simply used service code...)
from the dialer insert the code
*#*#197328640#*#
then press:
[2] version info
then
[1] SW VERSION -> [5] READ ALL SW VERSION
(i can't post external link so cut, modify and paste the link in you browser...)
i46 dot tinypic dot com/w2ocx1.png
or
[2] HW VERSION -> [1] READ HW VERSION
i46 dot tinypic dot com/oh8zkp.png
No Idea?
it's possible that no other people had such issue?
I remember some month ago someone writing about the problem of the power menu disappeared... but I'm not able to find that thread...
So no luck...

Search for /efs/imei/keystr file fix.
WOW
I replaced the file keystr and now the long press of the power botton
shows the standard menu and...
the phone is requesting to insert the pin at boot for the sim.
Now the strange thing is that this normally happen AFAIK when you flash
and reflash and do something wrong with firmwares and wipes...
the strange thing is that this phone was stock, not rooted...
(now i rooted the phone to restore the file and to try with other firmwares tnah original).
i noticed in the efs folder there are other missing files respect another phone
but I don't know if they are files created on the fly in special cases.
(I noticed the file mps_code.dat contains the product code and varying after a flash and one or two wipe)
There is some guide to learn the use of every single file in the efs folder?
and... why aosp roms function well even without that file in the efs folder?
I think it would be interesting try to discover whats is causing such behaviour.
so, thanks and.. set this thread as resolved

Hi,
Originally my phone was from the UK Carphone Warehouse (CPW)
I have upgraded it from 2.2 to 2.3 etc...
The last time I did a firmware upgrade to ICS was a few months back and I didn't have any problem doing it.
After the upgrade, I had a few bugs. I used this file - GT-I9100_XEO_I9100XXLPW_I9100OXALPW_I9100XXLPW.tar and the main bugs I have are - The screen won't lock and when I press the Power Button, it will turn the screen off but when I hold it for 1 second the phone closes down.
So today I thought, lets see if I can change my firmware to a CPW version, so I downloaded GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5.tar and installed that. It went through the usual stuff and upon restarting I was getting an "android.core" crash. The screen stops working and after several reboots nothing change. I also booted up and cleared the cache, and this didn't do anything either.
I have just reverted back to the first ICS upgrade but still has not screen lock or when I press the power button for 1 second it closes down.
I wondered if anyone else has had these problems or could recommend to me what may fix it.
I appreciate all help
Thanks

You're in the wrong section, this has nothing to do with development

First of all wrong section mate... By the way u hav written it seems that u hav not wiping the DATA or factory reset after every flash. Try wiping DATA before and after flashing.. Also wipe cache..
Hi guys, I have a very irritating issue with my international Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F) and hopefully someone could help me fixing it.
I'm experiencing frequent lockups mostly when trying to wake up/unlock the phone. The device becomes totally unresponsive to screen or home, back, window button taps and eventually after lots of tries it comes back to life and behaves as normal. The problem becomes way less frequent (almost disappears) if I connect it to a charger.
What I tried up to now with no luck fixing the problem is:
Disabled all the TouchWiz smart features, location services, wifi and radio broadcasts, rotation, nfc, sound, bluetooth, fingerprint scanner,
Checked all the sensors from the *#0*# menu and they seem fine,
Flashed through Odin, Smart Switch, TWRP official and custom roms (5.1.1, 6.0.1),
Tried rooted and non-rooted roms,
Tried odin's NAND erase all option and repartioned the phone using the ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit file,
Wiped the persistent partitions (sda11, 13) using the ADB commands dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda11, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda13, which however gave me:
dd: /dev/block/sda11 (sda13): No space left on device,
so I don't know if it was successful or not,
Updated (PASS) the TSP FW version from the *#2663# menu,
Opened the phone and powered it up after disconnecting all components apart from screen and battery,
Tried different battery.
Does anyone have a similar problem and knows how to fix it? Unfortunately, my device is out of warranty so I wouldn't like to visit a Samsung service centre.
I haven't tried alternative PIT files with hidden partitions of various sizes yet. Do you think that it will make any difference or, furthermore, is there a chance of further damaging my phone?
Could someone please with a similar device dial the *#2663# code and give me the following information? Phone's and part's TSP FW version, TSP threshold.
Is there a Phone's and Part's Touch key FW version available? In my phone I cannot see the Phone's, Part's Touch key FW version paragraph at all and I'm curious if this is related to the problem.
Looking forward for your tips! Thanks!

Hi mate, sorry to hear that.
Since it appears in both the flat and the edge version of the Galaxy s6, there is a similar thread in the flat galaxy s6 forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/lockups-app-crashes-phone-freezes-t3346837
Keep an eye there too for future updates, because it seems more active.
