Mine I quick sometime slow at others. Also my seems to show a flash of the home screen before it shows the lock screen
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
Same here... the first SGS also did this.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
I think this is fairly normal. The home screen is loaded, then the lockscreen intercepts the call and puts itself on top iirc.
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
Yeah it doesn't bother me too much TBH... One thing I did notice on the last SGS was when I used a ROM where the standard Android lock screen was used this no longer happened, but I like the extra functionality of the samsung one (and its prettier!)
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
Im fairly sure my did not, although most of my time was spent using custom roms.
[Galaxy S II General] miloc89:
Well, as a SGS1 user, from my experience(I don't know if this thoery is right, but SGS1 has the same problem), this problem is caused by your mircoSD card. unless you guys have some extremly fast TF card(mine is SANDISK C4, the delay is okay, maybe a C6 card will be better), there's will be a delay before the screen turns on.

to solve this problem, you can either remove your externalSD card, or just buy a faster TF card.

(bad English, sorry, I'm from China.:p)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr_Mjolnir:
No sd card in phone, I get the same delay. Always had delay on my desire when I was making it work hard, like downloading, but never from normal standby. Less than a second though, so it's not really an issue for me.

With stock and widetlocker lock screens.

Swyped from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
Does seem to be about a 0.5-1 sec delay after the phone has gone to sleep, with lots of widgets and a live wallpaper. (Leaving the device sleeping for 10+ sec)

This delay isn't present at all (0 sec delay) when the device is plugged in and charging.

So this is probably related to power savings in some way - it might take the device half a sec to scale the cpu up enough to display all the widgets and that. Not really a big deal, might be helped by increasing the hz as was done in some SGS kernels - we'll be able to see when we have some good stable custom kernels going.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
I agree with you here ryan. I didn't notice before but there is a certain wait when the phone wakes up from sleep i.e surpassing the screen timeout time and well beyond that.

Not much of a bother though. I can wait that 1 second for the phone to wake up and do everything I want in 0.00005 seconds after that XD
[Galaxy S II General] Sprinto:
someone has a solution for that?
[Galaxy S II General] :
It's definitely something to do with power saving that cannot be turned off. When my phone is charging or connect to my PC it's always instant.

Open this site(http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/) and choose your favourites NTP servers from the right menu (Active servers), which have to be replaced in these strings.

For example I am Italian, in the site i have finded these servers:

server 0.it.pool.ntp.org
server 1.it.pool.ntp.org
server 2.it.pool.ntp.org
server 3.it.pool.ntp.org

Now in my gps.conf I have to replace first four lines with:

NTP_SERVER=0.it.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=1.it.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.it.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=3.it.pool.ntp.org

Save your file, delete original /etc/gps.conf and place your new gps.conf.

NOTE: Be sure to assign at the new file the same permissions of the old. Using root explorer for this, long-press to the file -> permissions.

Sorry for my bad english! :p
[Legend Android Development] kkeith:
worked amazingly well, gps lock immediate, normally it only seemed to be a maybe thing. and every program is now accurate, for some reason only google navigation could read properly when it worked. thank you very much, and your english was very easy to understand.

Great tweak ! by the way, i use FasterFix and i write "2.be.pool.ntp.org" in the field and the effect seems the same one, .. but you made me discover NTP servers and I thank you!

[Legend Android Development] fede91it:
With FasterFix you only change NTP server, you don't add all extra specifications and AGPS directives.
[Legend Android Development] zengiman:
flashed the zip from the original post in the Nexus S thread and it works like a charm. faster en better fix then ever. Seems a lot easier than all the editing. Or am I missing something?
[Legend Android Development] fede91it:
If you don't want to change FR servers you haven't to do other. I have changed them to IT servers, for this reason i haven't used flash zip but manual method.
[Legend Android Development] heidi_lu:
can someone create a zip file for United States? I've used root explorer but it doesn't seem to change to US.. Oh, one more question, the zip file can be installed using rom manager?

Thanks in advance.
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Oh, this thread is so full of wrongness it would easily win the world championship of fudge. :D

Of all the parameters mentioned here additionally to the NTP and EXTRA server settings only

gps_conf.INTERMEDIATE_POS = 0;
gps_conf.ACCURACY_THRES = 0;
gps_conf.ENABLE_WIPER = 0;
gps_conf.DEBUG_LEVEL = 4;

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoopstah:
Hi there,

Figure there are lots of people like me who bought the SGS2 from O2 but are using it on a different network. As I wasn't an existing PAYG customer on O2 I've ended up with a SIM and £10 credit which I don't need.

Does anyone know if it's possible to give the credit to someone who is on O2 PAYG? Or has it already been added to the number associated with the SIM? I've done nothing at my end, not even opened the package the SIM is in.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psp888:
You cannot transfer credit, just use it up on calls or enter the gadget show competition 6 times. lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
The only way is to give the person the SIM as far as I know. It's associated with the number.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If the sim has not been activated then sell it .

If the sim has been activated then it can be used in any unlocked phone .

SGS 1 i used PAYG sim in phone one week passed on to my brother different phone he used most of the credit on internet data . I used the remaining credit to set up New SGS2 .

The number remains with the sim .

You could temp root, install rom manager, and see if it'll flash clockwork mod...

You still wanna have An S-Off ENG SPL (bootloader) for those dark times, however. In my opinion. Some people may disagree.

[General Questions and Answers] kevDroid:
Hi All,

I'm just looking to pick up a new Android phone. What are the best models out there in US / Canada?

I'll be comfortable doing basic to moderate "improvements" *cough* hacks *cough* on any device and am basically just looking for the best phone that will let me do the following:

Jail-break

tether

develop my own apps and test on

Skype

I'll be looking to buy from Canada OR US in the next few weeks. Not worried about cost.

Thanks and talk soon!
[General Questions and Answers] skopf:
try Motorola Atrix4g or HTC Inspire4g/Evo4g. all are androids and the jailbreak in this type of phone is called ROOT.
[General Questions and Answers] kevDroid:
Ah... "root"! Still getting used to the lingo. Thanks for the suggestions.

What are your thoughts on the forthcoming HTC EVO 3D? It's gimicky, but also looks like a really solid device to me...
[General Questions and Answers] SoraX64:
Cellphone technology is really hard to keep up with; waiting usually isn't a very good idea, because you'll end up continuously waiting to make up your mind (what with how fast new and improved phones release).

BUT this is a situation where you should wait just a little. The dual core phones are starting to make their place in the market. The Samsung Galaxy S2 looks like it's going to be stellar, and the EVO 3D looks pretty solid too (though I will admit I'm more inclined towards the EVO 3D, considering I love my EVO so much).

The HTC Sensation looks to be quite promising as well.
[General Questions and Answers] dm5530:
And I read this week about quad core but doubt that will be available at any reasonable price within the next 12 months. (I'd guess 2-3 years but just my opinion.)

Agree in general with the post about waiting being an endless game but if you can get a used phone and operate it with your carrier, that may give you more time until some new models hit later this year.
[General Questions and Answers] skopf:
D'accord, when the first att adroid came i wanted it so bad(moto Backflip) but i didnt buy it then the samsung galaxy was my next option and the same i couldnt get it, until finally came the moto atrix which i my opinion is better than the other 2 and almost like an iphone...
[Thunderbolt General] sethmo:
My data download has sucked since last Thursday/Friday. It takes 5+ minutes to download an app from the market(some <1mb) and I get "Download Paused" 5-10x per market download. Also, my speed test results are strange. I checked my data usage on Friday and I was only at 4600mb, yet my download was still horrible.

Current speeds:

Average speeds in the past:

My billing cycle ends today. I guess I will find out tomorrow if my data resumes. I have been over 5gb a few times in the past, but never had an issue. Maybe I am not being throttled, I have tried all the fixes I have found for the Market issue. I formatted my memory card, delete .android_secure, have tried 3 different ROMs, same issue. If anybody has any suggestions, I would love to get out of the sub-dialup speed range!
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
No they are having network issues again. LTE for me is slower than yours lol.. If they throttled you to 5kps, they would be on the receiving end of a class action.
[Thunderbolt General] sethmo:
It still says I have 3g, I would only assume that 1x is faster than this. My buddy has a Thunderbolt and his works fine, but he is about 20 miles from me so he may be on a different tower?
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Try rebooting your phone. Could always be something simple. Its possible that you are on a different tower thats having an issue. My 3G is great right now, but my LTE is slower than dialup. Think its their end not yours or your account.
[Thunderbolt General] chino0131:
Have you by any chance flashed the latest radio? I noticed that once I flashed the latest radio leak, my upload and download speeds dropped significantly. I flashed back to the old (stock) radio and my speeds have gone back to normal.

I installed the radio update in the Thunderbolt Radio thread and I am still having issues. This is rediculous Verizon! It has been over a week! Makes my phone not worth using anything that uses data :(
