I flashed it with this file following the guide to unbrand it

GT-I9100_XEF_I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKE1_I9100XEFKE2.tar

I have now the follwing params

PDA: I9100XWKE2

PHONE: I9100XXKE1

1 - Here I have a question why I have PDA (E2 and phone E1)? Is it correct?

2 - Then I wanted to be able to update via kies 2 (it says "impposible to update the firmware") so I tried to change the csc by rooting and running a sgs toolbox... I MADA A MISTAKE!!! I installed the XEF(french) csc but for samsung galaxy S i9000 AND NOT i9100! so now my csc is

I9000XEFJP3??

how can i restore a i9100 one for french?

please help me!

I would really appreciate it.

thank you

I reinstalled the firmware again and the csc got fixed by itself to

I9100XEFKE2

great,

now kias asks me if i want to update the firmware :)

Problem Solved!!!

Just picked up the phone today and noticed a long delay between pressing the power button and the screen waking up. When it is plugged in there is no delay at all. The delay occurs whenever the phone is disconnected from a power source. It is about a 2 second delay. Is anyone else experiencing this? Best Buy didn't have another unit and the Sprint store was useless and wouldn't unplug their demo unit to compare.

I saw a thread concerning the standard Galaxy S II, but nothing Epic 4G Touch specific.

Thanks.

*update*

Just to make things perfectly clear, here is a video of the delay time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqJc_nYuwac

*older update*

Downloaded Soft Locker Free and it allows the phone to instantly wake with no delay by bypassing a deep sleep mode. I'm unsure about how detrimental this is to the battery, but at least it's a fix. I'd still like to know if all Epic Touch phones have the wake up lag, though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
mine is doing this too.. are you using a SD Card wallpaper? I am. not sure if thats affecting things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AvatarOfFrost:
I have not noticed any delays on mine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DarkPhoenix:
I have noticed this as well. I'm using a stock wallpaper.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
You shouldn't do that, it will be detrimental to your battery. Deep sleep mode means that the processor is technically off, provided the phone doesn't have any tasks to run while the screen is off.

Its perfectly natural for your phone to wake up immediately when plugged in, because that's how samsung designed the galaxy's. No need to deep sleep when the phone's getting a charge.

By restricting your phone from sleeping (affectionately referred to as wake lock),your forcing your processor to run for nothing, most likely at 200mhz. When it's all said and done, I estimate you'll end up shaving off about 5 hours of battery life. Not worth it to me, just learn to deal with 1 sec it takes to wake up the phone.

On a lighter note, I find it amusing that you've installed an app that now makes the phone do something that is commonly known as a bug and a lot of people spend their time trying to squash. Lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
+1LOL*10

The amount of threads I have read, the hundreds if not thousands of posts I have seen the hundreds of developers that have all chased wake-lock bugs are all disgusted right now. Thousands if not tens of thousands of man hours have gone into chasing the wake-lock bugs down on many many many devices....in roms, in kernels in conflicting apps. For years. Sometimes its simple, sometimes it's given up on completely.

You are right. Wow, just, wow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Lol, I'm actually crying a little from laughter. The scenario you described was exactly what went through my head when I wrote that ;)

EDIT: to the OP, this is all in jest, no offense meant. But seriously, don't wake lock your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Journeyjeans:
I've noticed it too, but it isn't too bad of a lag. Not snappy like the EVO 4G, but not a dealbreaker, not on this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Don't wakelock the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kawaski47:
Voluntarily wake locking a phone? Haven't heard that before lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedeadletters:
Thanks for all the responses. My past Android phones (Evo and Evo 3D) didn't have any delay whatsoever, which is the origin of the original post. The power of the Galaxy S2 phones is pretty much legendary, which is why I'm surprised about this power saving feature. Reviews boast quick boot times, but I would argue that a regular wake time is much more useful and realistic to have. I do understand the basic premise that a powerful phone consumes more battery, but that didn't make any other dual core phone I've seen require this precaution.

Therefore, why is it that others forego this feature if it ultimately saves so much battery that Samsung has made it a default feature on their latest phones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedeadletters:
Updated the OP with a video. Please view and tell me if this is the norm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justwonder:
I watched the video, mine is not that slow delay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
+1 return it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
I wouldn't return it Hold tight for custom rom.

I'm sure tweak will be around the corner to improve wake up response
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Funny how mine has all my apps on it... (over 40) and a **** load of music... And for the life of me I cant get it go lag like that.... I had a refurbished evo 3d that did that... I called sprint.after factory reset and.a few battery pulls... Id just return it.

roms dont fix all bugs let alone one random wake lag problem and the op may have to deal with it as most of us dont have lag like that...

@op if you got it from a store id bring it in.... if a rep says its suppose to do that.... Tell them your older android phone didnt do it... Then ask to speak to a manager
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedeadletters:
Yeah... I had a feeling it was worse than it should have been. Though it's true a custom ROM could fix it, it would probably implement a fix similar to Soft Locker (which is obviously shunned for its battery draining ability). Also, I'd much rather have a device in proper working order to begin with. The Best Buy I got it from only had 2 on launch day, so here's hoping I find one that has it in stock.

Thanks for all the replies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kzoak82:
My delay is similar to the video. How does everyone else compare after seeing the video?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m3ng:
I had the same issue. Move the pic from ur sd card to ur internal. Open in using myfiles and set as lockscreen
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kzoak82:
Thanks. Stupid question but how do I move it. I only know how using root explorer on a rooted phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedeadletters:
Glad it worked for you. I just did a factory reset and the problem still persists (with lock screen image defaulting in internal memory).

Thanks, though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
Weird mine doesnt do this at all. I have a wallpaper that i downloaded and applied from wallpapercasa app and as soon as i press the lock/unlock button the phone springs back to life. Thats very odd
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kzoak82:
I just realized that there is no delay when the charger is plugged in. Maybe the phone idles / underclocks quicker than others to save batter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
OP, my phone has the exact same behavior based on the YouTube video. I have a hard time believing its hardware related, so not sure if there's value in returning it.

Sent on the run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oxeneers:
mine is just as bad if not worse than OP. it's an underclocking thing so when you unlock the phone, the slowed down processor resumes back to life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
I can confirm mine is similar to OP's video as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
It shouldn't take much processor power to wake up the screen; not that much time anyways. I know its not an apples to apples comparison, but my Evo 4g was underclocked and undervolted, and was still able to instantly power up the screen even with a newer sense lockscreen.

There has to be a software conflict or setting that's exaggerating the delay. If this was the norm, all of the phone previews would of raised a red flag for it.

Sent on the run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jmelendez1:
My Epic has the same. Not something to loose any sleep over.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedeadletters:
Wow. Sad to see that others are also experiencing the delay. However, there still appears to be a disparity since some say their phones wake quicker. I think I'll end up going to a Sprint

store or Best Buy that has live demo units to compare. I wish I could just be content, but I find it difficult to accept this has a worse wake up time than literally any other phone I've ever used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttieder:
In only happens when you lay the phone down and try using when its in hand it doesn't do that for some reason and when you try to use it when the phone is laying down it becomes laggy I don't know why tho
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
that would be a very clever use of the sensors in the phone...or an attempt to do so anyway. Assuming that if the phone is sitting still and flat that it may not get used as much so conserve as much power as possible for better battery life and faster charging...though given how I use my phone at work that would be absolutely opposite of the best way to do things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
In my case, in-hand has the same delay as laying the phone down. I've noticed the delay is variable but position doesn't influence it.

Sent on the run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
If laying down was the case I would guess the lag would be caused by the phone trying to decide if it should open into landscape or portrait mode. Just a guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
Ouch I watched the video and yea that would probably annoy me quite a bit lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyckrs:
I think i found the problem for the slow wake lock. Power off your phone, take out sd card, power on the phone and check the wake lock. The phone should wake up normal now when button is pressed. I think its just the phone trying to read the sdcard upon waking up. I dont know if that makes sense. Maybe try a higher class sd card and see if the delay is still present.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
I don't Think sensor has anything to do with it.

Some kernel tweaking will fix this issue I'm thinking it has something to do with lock wallpaper.

There has been a couple time when I woke up device home screen showed for a second then lock wallpaper displayed.

That tells me its software related.

Proximity sensor needs some tweaking though . It has some minor minor lag during calls compared to HTC hardware.

The fix to all this is root & custom rom or wait for Samsung to release update.

Ha I know which way Im going to fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oxeneers:
I recently put in a SD card, so this may be true
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kzoak82:
I think your a genius. I took the sd card out (class4) and seems to have cut the delay in half. Can anyone else confirm?

My next question is for those that didnt have the delay at all. Do you have an sd card? If so, what class?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oxeneers:
Yeah, I took out my class 2 16gb and half the delay is gone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
hmm Im betting those that are having long lag have adjusted screen time out.

Change it back to 30 second default & lag will be no more...at least that was the case on mine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cornelious1212:
I can confirm. 16 GB SD card in, same delay as OP. Card out, slight delay only, if any. Weird.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedeadletters:
Thank you very much. This is definitely the root (no pun intended) of the problem. I removed the card and the delay is far less. BTW - it's a 32gb SanDisk (Class 2).

Anyone know what class will eliminate the lag?

Some editorial: This is pretty lame - No other device I've used (including my good ol' Touch Pro 1) has ever suffered from an increased wake due to an SD card. It's probably related to the whole "Media Scanning" state that occurs every single time the phone boots and how the phone reads media. I understand that every device must read media, but it just seems like an added hassle with this phone. In any case, thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyckrs:
glad that i can help. someone try a class 10 sd card and report back if there is lag. If its just the memory card that is giving us wake lock delay than i can live with it. if its the phone itself than i would take it back to sprint. I feel better now knowing its just the sd card causing this. No biggie.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tfouto:
hi guys have you tried contact Samsung? Is there any support page about this phone? Maybe they're not aware of this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedeadletters:
I think it's a power saving "feature" because there is absolutely no wake delay with the SD card in when connected to a power source.

Also, I haven't contacted Samsung, but I sure hope that it's fixed in an update. If they are smart (this is a pun, since their current line of media devices are marked as "smart") then they are reading this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
I have a class 10 16gb micro SD card in my phone. Takes 1-2 seconds from power button to turn on the screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
I have a delay, but it's not as extreme as OP's. Just takes a little getting used to.

Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Anybody try SD speed increase app (market) root 2048 KB setting ....

Double post
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
Never heard of this before but let me test it for you @ 2048kb setting

Edit: Take this as a grain of salt but app SD-Booster (or SD Speed Increase) at 2048kb setting appears to have eliminated the lag. Try it and see if it works for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
didnt do anything for me.

I'm using the 32Gb sandisk class 2 card. when the card is out, theres very little delay...which leads me to believe its the card.

anyone using a 32gb class 10 card thats having issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archtech3d:
I just called Samsung to see if they recommend a specific card. The support representative was not aware of this issue, and just said to try different cards.

I suggest everyone call into Samsung and report the issue to make them aware so hopefully a fix update can happen soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kcyen18:
I havea 32gb class 10 and the lag time is about the same as OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
mine is as slow as the OP.I compared my phone to my co-worker's sluggish epic in a side by side test.mine was still a full second slower. i then did the test w/o the memory card inserted in my phone and was like half a second faster than her epic. obviously things sped up somehow. not encouraged to hear a 32GB class 10 card is just as slow :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I have the same lag but really doesn't bother me...the rest of the phone flies so I'm happy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] A_Flying_Fox:
Lol phones shouldn't take 2 seconds to screen on

Even from deep sleep

There's definitely something wrong there. Is it all gsii models or just the sprint one?

It seems like it'll be pretty easy to narrow down, considering even my og epic4g wakes instantly from deep sleep when I press the button like a puppy hearing a whistle
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kcyen18:
This lag really annoys the hell out of me. I'll push the button thinkingI didn't push it soI push and it'll turn my screen off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geomatiq:
i have the same probablem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
Oh my God...2 seconds! lol...your right! Thats terrible! Hey thats fine if it bothers people but i just don't see it as a big deal..I tend to worry about trying to make a living in this wonderful economy than worry if my phone fires up within a tenth of a second.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phyba:
not trying to sound like a ass but it seems to me that people are LOOKING for something wrong with this phone. i mean 2 seconds isn't the end of the world and while annoying, if that is the only "bug" then i dont see a big deal. they could of ****ed up and pushed the phone out with the major issue the photon had of silent calls...this seems pretty minor. its like getting that shiny new car and you looking for looseness on a gas door hinge and then saying, this car is amazing but tthe gas door is loose and annoys me everytime i fill up...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I agree 100%...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kcyen18:
I'm sorry but this really annoys me. its the fact thatI end up pushing the wake button more then once due to the lag which then turns my screen offand on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I'm really not trying to pick on people that don't like this but you can't wait 2 seconds for the screen to pop up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
Okay, I seriously believe that increasing the SD speed (mine is at 2048kb) solves the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I just noticed also that when I go to the bathroom to take a dump my phone doesn't follow behind me...this is a problem that Samsung should know about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bwillet:
Try logging out of social hub...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Honestly, I don't think the majority of people here are looking for flaw. Rather is the reporting of something seemingly easy to rectify. And the post I quoted is an example of an easy solution. Its completely reasonable to have a better SD read-ahead size correct this slow wake-up behavior.

If this thread was nothing but complaining, then I can understand the negative feedback. But if you see people offering good suggestions and ideas regarding this behavior, then you should let it go and be happy people are addressing even the littlest issue to make this phone perfect.

Sent on the run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
i wouldnt care if it happend to everyone but since its not, then obviously its a problem. since your fine with it, why even post in this thread?:confused:

@bwillett

i've deleted social hub accounts and made no other changes.. so far the phone screen pops up almost immediately after pressing the power button on occasion. but prior to deleting them, they were set to 'not sync'.

i cant think of anything else i've changed today besides doing some things to get my music playlist on my sd card recognized by the music player.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bwillet:
Ah crap, thought I had it. Never had the delay before, then I logged into social hub and the delay started. Wouldn't go away, but as soon as I logged out of it the delay went away, until about 10 minutes ago when it magically reappeared. The hunt goes on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kcyen18:
Mine tends to come and go. Right now its fine. Think it has something to do with the wifi/3g?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
The reason I posted on this thread is because a 2 second delay is not a problem. I showed a buddy of mine this so called "Problem" and he couldn't believe this was an issue here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
Um "OK"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
You sir are a tool. Thanks for adding nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
sorry dude, i was replying to alnova1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
Couldn't agree more.

And what a great reply it was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
because "you and your buddy" dont see it as a issue, therefore it must not be a issue? thats fine. why keep posting here then?

i think this thread is for those looking for causes and solutions to why the 'issue' happens and how to get their phones on par with the rest of those without the 'issue'. is that so hard to understand?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] a2tz:
My wife got this phone and is what I would consider a very "normal" user. Doesn't care about root or roms and crap just wants it to work. This delay issue was the first thing she asked me about. (I did put a sd card in there before she complained...so that's probably it). She has gotten along just fine with it...but she said she always pushes it, then pushes it again thinking she didn't get it the first time. Then it wakes up and goes back to sleep. So really the "issue" is just f'in annoying to some people.

So if I can fix this issue for her by a little bit of researching then great.

If its not a big deal to you then continue on to your next thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kcyen18:
i'm glad i'm not the only impatient one.

This is not something i would return the phone for.

I love the phone, I will deal with it. But you have to understand, it's super f'kn annoying cause i'm always pushing the wake button.

To the poster who doesnt think this is an issue, your delay probably isnt as long as ours which is no issue for you and i guess your friend.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cornelious1212:
Completely agree. I've had to remove my SD card until this is resolved. I'd say I double tapped the power button 99% percent of the time, causing it to sleep again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] codeworkx:
We're all having this delay.

Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch and any other variants that may exist.

Get used to it. ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattvalenz:
This appears to be SD card related

I'm a Sprint Launch Product Ambassador supporting the E4GT.

We are currently researching this but it appears to be tied to SD card use possibly a delay from reading the card. Screen timeout settings also could be a factor; my device is set to 30 and I experience minimal wake time lag even with an SD card installed.

What is the typical lag time for everyone experiencing this issue? 2 secs? More?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
2sec, like the OP's video
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
After reviewing the released samsung opensource I am wondering if this wake delay because of an SDCard could be kernel related, I am noticing several instances in cyasdevice.c that makes calls to check the sdcard after resuming from an auto suspend, and the specific sdcard checks it calls on are outlined in cyasblkdev_block.c Now I don't know enough c++ to determine what these functions relate to (HBoot, OS, ect...) but I do know enough to know that they could be part of the cause of the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Yeah, 2 seconds is what I'm getting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
Yes and its 2 seconds of my life you are wasting Samsung! Get this fixed!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
grrrrr very annoying bug.

Received my 16gb class 6 today popped it in and 2 second wake up lag is being had.

Hopefully Sprint will step up with fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comeatmebro:
yea pretty annoying but I sort of trimmed my lag a bit by moving most of my stuff to the internal storage. The lag is still there but not as big as before, but still a min of 1 sec.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] will900:
I have a 16gb and was getting the 2 sec lag. I haven't tried to remove the sd card or increase the speed but I did set the animation from all animations to some animations and now there isn't any lag at all for. If anybody wants to try that to see if it works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayaticik:
I took out the sdcard and both delays(lockscreen and call screen) are gone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I do not have this problem at all with the two phones I had and i always have a 16 gb class 2 card in the phone.
