I think this is a bug. I myself have this problem too. Also had it on older firmwares

Me to hopefully a bug as it does get on me nerves abit
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddog5k:
Yep, me three!

Winds me up when I want to unlock the phone. Stupid bug for an otherwise very fast phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPRobber:
The reason it's delaying it, is because it's waiting if you are going to press it a second time to activate voice control. If someone can work out how to disable the double press voice control, it should remove the delay.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon_V:
Agreed. Freezing voice input will prevent the app running, but not the delay.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeelzeM:
Agreed. I'm getting my phone hopefully in a few days. But I never used voice commands as I'm not a native english speaker. I noticed this with the SGSII I tried in a store. It would be cool if there was a fix for this so the home button reacts instantly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cTrox:
+1

I'd really like to see a fix for this... I don't need the voice app either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Mine's not doing it. It's maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 second slower than launching an app with the screen. It's instantaneous when waking the phone. It's so slight I wouldn't have noticed it until you pointed it out and I checked. I'm on KE2. Did you guys go directly from the shipped ROM to KE2 without KE1 in the middle? I did, maybe that's the reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cTrox:
Everyone's doing it. If you make a button that can react to a double-press it isn't possible to make it react instantly on just one button press. The phone can't know that you are not going to press the button a second time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I played with it again, the screen is definitely going from calculator, Rhapsody, and the browser to the home screen fully displayed in about a 1/2 second. I get what you're saying about the double-press, but a 1/2 second seems livable to me. Someone said "two seconds" which would drive me crazy too. So the question is, is it a 1/2 second or two seconds? If it's the latter some phones are behaving differently than others.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cTrox:
Yeah, it isn't 2 seconds, I'd say it's a little bit more than 0.5 seconds. But even with 0.5 seconds it feels too long for me. ;)

I've had a HTC Desire before the SGSII and the Home Button was instant on there so that's why it's really annoying to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadyas:
Hi,

My came phone with the latest rom. Its about 1.5 secs but iy does feel long especially when everyghing else is so fast.

If its possible I dont mind disabling the double press option for voice cammands if it can make the one press action faster.

Someone posted 1/5 secs, if that was the case then I didn't mind either, however this is not the case with my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scared27:
I get roughly a 1 second delay, my phone came with KE1 stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stian230:
No reboot in 27 hours and home button varies randomly from 0.5 to 2 seconds.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ke3pup:
mine is pretty much always 2 seconds on KE7. It feels like an eternity comparing to everything else on the phone which is instant. I hope a fix for this will come soon, 2 seconds might not sound like a long time waiting but overtime its very much irritating.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floejen:
Mine is now on about 5-6 seconds and driving me crazy. Could it be due to a widget?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danmullen:
Don't know if this might give anyone any clues, but it's not just to do with pressing the home button. Mine does exactly the same when I go from an app to the home screen by pressing the back button.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamaln77:
Mine was doing it too (around 4 seconds!) untill a restart yesterday fixed it... for now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Anyone got any hope on this?

This seems to be the biggest problem for me :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
This is a myth that I read often, but it's not true. iPhone has a task manager that pops up on double press, but doesn't have any noticable delay when you press the button a single time. Just becase there's a function that runs on double press doesn't require so much delay. It's just a bug I think.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comrad:
Being on KE2 I've also noticed that home button feels by far like the slowest action on the otherwise very fast phone. As an android newbie I thought the home button delay is simply related to app context switching or something (in other words that it is probably normal on android phones). If it is in fact double cklick delay that is causing this then I very much hope there will be a way how to fix it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcam117:
Any fix for this ? This like really needs to get fixed. Its the ONLY slow thing on an otherwise fast phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo2006pf:
On my device I have 1,5 s delay each time I press the home button in order to switch on the screen. It pisses me off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rixsta:
Flash cognition rom, it has the fix in the rom :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
I have noticed this issue more and more. It almost ruins the experience on an otherwise almost perfect phone. I have heard that other launchers may resolve this, but haven't tried them yet. Truthfully, I like the features of the Touchwiz launcher.

I don't particularly want to root and flash another ROM, so I'm hoping for an official fix.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isotoper:
No , unfortunately cognition rom doesn't fix that lag.

P.S - If phone is connected to wall charger, NO LAG AT ALL !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommanderThor:
I installed alternative louncher(ADW louncher), and no delay anymore. That means Touchwiz is the lagy one! I like ADW better anyway:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isotoper:
Unfortunately this is not the solution either, installed and didn't solve the problem .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Really? I installed Go Launcher and the delay is significantly reduced. It's much more tolerable for me now. I kind of miss the cool way Touchwiz let you add widgets, but I'll live.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isotoper:
The only widget I cannot find in ADW is the calendar, others I found and added.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcreego:
If it was resolved with Cyano why it is so difficult to port the solution for the stock rom?

We remove the voice control apk but nothing happen is like the system is waiting for a second home button click anyway:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanlam:
It take me 3s when i press home button to open home screen. Very uncomportable!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isotoper:
Go to Cognition rom and help to raise this issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
Mine takes about 0,5sec. It's nearly not-noticable. And if you use it a while you'll get used to that minimal lag.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingme23:
I've installed Roms before but it is no longer working and I have no idea why. I do the usual, wipe data/cache/dalvik and then when I choose to install zip from sd card I get "finding update package....opening update package....installing update package" no matter what ROM i try. I've tried 3 and none of them are working anymore. Anybody know what's going on? Right now I'm stuck with stock.

I should also mention I'm on clockwork 2.5, I tried everything to switch to RA but to no avail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
I'm not sure what the question is.

The "finding update package, opening update package, etc" is normal. What happens when you reboot into the ROM? If you're still using CWM, are you making sure to use "Install zip from sdcard" instead of "Install update from sdcard"? The latter looks for an update.zip in the root of your sdcard.

If you want to switch to Amon Ra, the easiest way is to use ROM Manager and "Flash Alternate Recovery".
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You can flash Amon Ra manually through the bootloader, but if when these fail you're restoring a backup, those backups will not work with Amon Ra. You'll need to either make a backup with Amon Ra or flash back to ClockworkMod to restore.

Download the PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader, wait for it to scan, choose yes to update. Don't reboot when it asks you. When it takes you back to the bootloader, choose recovery and try again. As I said, you may want to make a backup.

You can download Amon Ra here:

http://db.tt/WP0beNa

Don't rename the file.

If you still can't flash anything, connect your phone to your computer using the USB/MS toggle in Amon Ra. Copy everything over, then repartition your card through recovery. Move everything back, including the rom you want to flash, and try again.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strypes84:
Have you tried installing the latest AMON RA using the PCIMG36.ZIP on bootloader method? Also are you sure that your phone is still properly rooted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
If you're flashing any current ROM, it uses a new type of syntax for performing updates. Try flashing the newest Clockwork from ROM Manager and giving that a go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingme23:
That's all that happens. It then says update installed but I can't reboot into the ROM because the ROM never actually installed. All I get is "update installed" but the ROM never flashes, the whole process takes about 1 minute.

I've tried switching to amon ra that way but was unsuccessful. It said I successfully switched but when I boot into recovery it still goes to clockwork. I also tried the bootloader method the other two users suggested, even trying out several different zips thinking one may have been corrupted but once again nothing, it boots into clockwork and does not read the pc36img file. I'm thinking viper could be correct because all the ROMs I've tried flashing so far have been fairly recent (cm7, kings 5)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It could be your SD card. Try formatting/repartitioning your SD card. Backup your files first, as everything will be erased. I'm not sure if you can mount through ClockworkMod. If not, you'll need to use an adapter to put your card directly into your computer.

Here's a newer version of ClockworkMod in PC36IMG form. If you can get it to flash, and your problem is the newer roms (amend/edify issues), then you should be able to flash a new rom. Amon Ra will flash both newer and older roms, but if you prefer CWM then use that. If you don't want to format your card, you can always try flashing an amend scripted rom first through your current ClockworkMod version.

Here's the newer CWM: http://db.tt/9sksyTK

Ok, I was browsing the other SGS forums like I usually do and I stumbled across this. So I downloaded it and was surprised just how fast it was.

I have alot of images saved on my phone. From my theming stuff.

This gallery loaded all of them in under 15sec. My original gallery took around 2min to do the same. Anyway check it out.

I take no credit as I didnt create it, I simply found it. I will upload link to original poster if/when I can find it again... I know it came from i9000 gingerbread leak.

Weird, but it actually seems slower to load than before. But does anyone know if the old Gallery let you set a specific lockscreen wallpaper separate from the homescreen wallpaper(long press image-more-set as)? If so, I never noticed. If not, cool new option!

Edit: reboot helped speed a lot.

Edit 2: Set as lockscreen wallpaper doesn't seem to work... So as far as cool new option goes, not so much.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyboy2034:
I've tried every GB rom and the results have been the same, so I didn't know which Rom thread was appropriate.

I'm unable to stream video using my Vulkano Player (similar to Slingbox). If i flash any other rom, CM7, bamf etc, it works just fine.

Anyone got any ideas?

Once again, this is specific to the leaked GB roms, they all fail to stream the video.

Really? Even in high quality. Every time I put slingplayer into HQ mode (be it on wireless, 3G or 4G) it will freeze the video but the audio keeps going.

I flashed back to BAMF 1.7 and it worked flawlessly in HQ. My Nook Color running CM7 has no problems either (so I guess it's not just Gingerbread). I also pulled my Droid X running Froyo out of retirement for a few minutes and it also works right.

There must be a problem somewhere in the HTC Gingerbread leak.

Hello Motorola XOOM user, We'd like to tell you about some changes to the Music player on your tablet. The latest app update now supports Music Beta, a new service from Google. As a Verizon Motorola XOOM user, you’ve been extended an early invitation to beta test this service.

Worth reading http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/16/android_impersonation_attacks/

and perhaps following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1086878 (ok -- maybe not -- that thread is pretty useless)

In brief:

The weakness stems from the improper implementation of an authentication protocol known as ClientLogin in Android versions 2.3.3 and earlier, the researchers from Germany's University of Ulm said. After a user submits valid credentials for Google Calendar, Contacts and possibly other accounts, the programming interface retrieves an authentication token that is sent in cleartext. Because the authToken can be used for up to 14 days in any subsequent requests on the service, attackers can exploit them to gain unauthorized access to accounts.​

Announced today, apparently there will be silent OTA patches for Contacts and Calendar.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
that is crazy!!!!

this made me feel a little at ease, just a little.

not sure what else to say about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Bloggers and media like to hype this stuff up.

Bottom line is this. Don't connect to a public wifi you don't trust, and always log in via SSL.

The issue here stems from using public wifi that allows people to sniff your traffic.

For instance:

You walk into starbucks, I'm already there and with my phone I create a mobile hotspot, I call it "StarbucksWifi" for the SSID. You're none the wiser and you connect with your phone (OR with your laptop, it's not just your phone but the media didn't share that).

I turn on Shark Mobile (Wireshark) and start capturing all those lovely packets. I then dissect them later to see your login info etc.

Again, don't connect to public wifi you don't trust or are unsure about. Starbucks uses ATT for hotspots and the wifi name is always ATT from what I remember.
