Maybe it is app related because my phone wakes up as soon as I hit either button. Even with lock screen and s-voice on. I have a 32gb class 10 sdcard as well. I only have a few gigs of data on the card though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] -BoneZ-:
My phone takes about 1 full second for the screen to turn on after I hit a button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] patdroid1:
same here...pulled sd card and even ended up doing a full data wipe/factory reset...still have about 1 second delay....so frustrating
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxsupergman25xx:
i actually believe its the TouchWiz launcher. i switched to ADW launcher and theres no lag. the lock screen ripple/spen ink blots are smooth. though if i reset my phone it loads TouchWiz first and makes me choose adw launcher again, and that first time i notice the lag. as soon as i pick adw launcher all the time..perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
I've been using Nova since I got the phone, and there's still the noted lag when turning on the screen.

If you're using a third party launcher, Touch Whiz is still running in the background. It's only visually replaced (and functionally Inn some asprcts), but it's not turned off. So if it is the culprit, it will still do the same thing with a third party launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxsupergman25xx:
if its not touchwiz its one/more of the bloatware. go into setting>apps manager>all

i have these disabled

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
With the exception of Polaris Office, I've had all of those disabled since day one.

It very well could be Touch Whiz, because as I said, a third party launcher is basically just a skin over the top of Touch Whiz. Touch Whiz continues to run behind it.

My lag isn't as long as some are reporting, but it's definitely there. I'd say mine is about a quarter to a half of a second longer than on any other Android device I've ownes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoeDaddy:
I have no lag regardless of launcher used and have a 64g sd card half full. maybe an app you installed...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
It did the same thing running 100% stock out of the box. In fact, the lag was longer than it is now when it was running completely stock without anything extra installed. And I did a factory reset before installing anything, and it was still there afterwards.

So I'm 100% sure it's not due to a user-installed app. It's something in the stock software. Disabling many of things discussed in this thread cut the lag down, but it's still there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Compared to how slow it used to be before disabling the ripple effect and "pop up note on lock screen", I'm pretty content with how fast it wakes up now. Most of the time it's instant, sometimes it takes "maybe" a second. I always hit my power button as I'm grabbing my phone(or pulling it out of my pocket), so by the time I get it in front of me, the screen is on, no matter what.

In return for that single second of "wait" time, your actually saving battery, because your phone goes into a deep sleep. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad and compromise a bit. I'm sure once we get custom kernels, we can raise the minimum frequencies and it'll prob speed that up, BUT it might be in exchange for a bit more battery drain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CBConsultation:
In this age of kids who have to have everything instantly, if the few milliseconds it takes for your phone to wake up bothers you, then might I suggest going back to a dumbphone and quit whining.

I bought my phone full price $700, and even I don't complain about a 1 second lag. Be happy you're sporting the baddest phone available right now.

Trying to get to the root of this or any problem should involve factual data that represents the test pool. Simply whining that your phone lags with no supporting data is useless.

Besides, is it really that bad? You could be using a WP8 or iOS device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
And whining with a smug sense of superiority about people whining is really a helpful way of "trying to get to the root of this or any problem."

The fact is that no one in this thread has been whining. An issue is being discussed that is not normal with Android devices. Several users have reported having the issue, and several potential ways to go about resolving it have been discussed. And no one has said that it's really bad, horrible, or terrible. People are just reporting that it's noticeable. And the fact there's a noticeable lag when turning on the screen is not normal for Android devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CBConsultation:
Lag is not normal? I don't know how long you've been using Android devices but if you go through almost every phone forum here you'll find people talking about lag to some extent or another. Acting like lag is not normal makes one question your searching skills. It's a common issue with almost every device made. Get over it. It's common knowledge.

To add; the more apps you install, the probability of lag increasing also increases. Apps that use on-access scanning like gallery or anti-malware apps or apps that use motion/proximity also slows down the system. There are 1-- different variables I could list that will increase lag. But that is another thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
:confused:

I don't think you've even read this thread. We're talking about a lag between the moment you press the power button and when the screen turns on. There's a slight delay that's not common among Android devices, even older devices with dozens of apps installed (and I think a delay is a better way to describe it than lag). No one here is talking about a lag in the general usage of the UI or features of the phone.

There's a big difference between what you're talking about and what this thread is talking about. What you're talking about is normal for most devices at one point or another. What we're talking about isn't normal. If you think a noticeable delay between the time you press the power button and when the screen actually comes on is normal, than you're not experiencing it like others are. It's quite noticeable and far from normal.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adneo:
Hi,

I was thinking which consumes less power on a Note 10.1

Wifi or 3G?

Anyone got any info on this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hippo1n2:
plz google it... it can affect all gadgets pertaining to ur question.

http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/503684-wifi-vs-3g-battery-life-wow.html

According to wikipedia typical power usage for wifi would be 32mw and typical power usage for 3G would be 500mw.

That would make wifi about 15x more efficient.

Ofcourse there are many more variables like howmuch processing power is required to handle the connection and the distance between you and the accesspoint. But considering wifi is faster and needs less transfer time to finish sending data and considering the above I reckon you should leave wifi on to increase your battery life.

I do feel that wifi is much more battery saving than 3g too. hope this help :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blud7:
3G/4G is a power hog as long as its on, whether you are downloading data or not.

WiFi is MUCH more efficient.

And I'm talking at LEAST 50% more efficient.

Hello users!

Just have a couple questions. I've recently switch from iPhone to Android (GSIII Obviously). A mistake? Maybe. lol. (My opinion). But if anyone could all so kindly help me. I am wanting to know the following,

Q 1. Where do I find kernels? (and any tutorials to install them) ( Im running CM10 for now, currently testing out other ROMs though.)

Q 2. What kind of files would I flash to my phone? Don't get that concept yet. ha.

(Mostly) everything you need for the VZW GS3, As far as installing them, just make sure you have the right one for your rom (AOSP or TouchWiz, Jelly Bean or Ice Cream Sandwich), Download the Kernel, boot to recovery, wipe caches and flash away.

Roms and Kernels mostly. Once you get in to it, I would look into RPM and Modem flashing.

I use My Backup to back up Texts and call log. It can also backup pictures and contacts. For contacts though, Save them to Google, not your phone. Google will sync the contacts back to your phone once you log back in to your account and they are all accessible from contacts.google.com. For your pictures, I recommend Dropbox. When you sign in to the app, it asks if you want to automatically save your pictures and then everytime you snap a pic it throws it up to dropbox automatically.

Above all, READ READ READ! Nobody likes that guy who posts the same question as 50 other people in a thread...You know, that question that is answered in the OP :)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
I was disappointed, but not surprised to see that functions for dropping internal rendering and only render to the external screen were in-built into the media-player on the lg. I mean, having an overlay where you could switch context would have been just too easy, after all.

But is there a way to turn off the internal rendering and only render to hdmi? Since android has a composite manager on it's own, it seems strange it shouldn't be just a simply command for it, that would leave the phone context inactive, and the rendering context on hdmi. In the same way the media player works.

I.e., if playing netflix, you would just pick the source for the viewport, and leave the program just serving (while the view on the phone is inactive). Same with games.

Think it's possible to do that in an overlay? Or is it necessary to do it individually for each program. Or, more likely, that it's something that has to be implemented in Android at some point..?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dracula3020:

Using Faux123's kernel, I've undervolted significantly. I went from the stock voltages and reduced all the voltages around the table by 150mv.

I can do GL Benchmark @ 1.35GHz and 487MHz (GPU) without the phone thermal throttling, which gets me better results than anandtech's freezer tests (39.6fps), mine being 42 fps on GL Benchmark Egypt HD On-Screen.

So, anyone else UV'ing?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
When i was using faux i got to about -150mv as well. Phone never really got warm as well and battery seems to be abit better. I didn't have it on for more then 1 or 2 days. But i was 100% sable. I ran GLbench as well in a loop for about 2 hours with no lockups or reboots. Makes me think that the reason the voltage is so high is because there is a very limited number of the chips that needed more voltage so they just pumped more voltage into all the chips. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Damn! So lowering the voltages that much made it not throttle at all ???! . what was your temp after bench

Quadrant lasts for a really short time though, < 1 minute. There can't be thermal throttling. The phone gets just barely warm to touch.

Edit: 5518 with performance governor and everything else the same.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwahchees:
Completely forgot about this thread.

Battery life = superb. 3 hr screen time on average, and if lucky almost 4.

No throttling at 1.35GHz, but I haven't tested 1.51GHz. I also managed to get to -187.5 uv undervolt, which is superb. I run all my clockspeeds under 1 volt.

@ italia0101

Yup. OC'd the GPU, undervolted and underclocked the CPU to 1.35GHz. Temp I didn't check. I'll run one later :)

Ok.. So, the phone is rooted with stock rom. It decided to just shut off today and continuously vibrate while off, even while the battery is out and the phone is plugged into the usb cable it vibrates.. So, when I put the battery back in it starts to boot with the Sammy logo then the TMO part comes up where its trying to load and the progress bar gets to like 30% then it shuts off again and vibrates. So I figured Id just try to get into download mode and re-flash the stock rom but no go.. I plug the phone into the usb and hold the volumes and then insert the battery and the download screen comes up but it doesnt stay, the phone goes blank and keeps vibrating again?? I also want to add that the phone wont completely turn off, even after taking the battery out.. When I put the battery back in, it boots right up everytime without me even pressing anything so I cant even get into recovery if I wanted.

So bottom line is.. Phone is rooted with stock rom.. Phone stays blank and vibrates, even when battery is out and plugged into the usb cable.. When inserting the battery and holding volumes, the warning screen comes up but only for a second then the phone shuts down and continuously vibrates?? So it wont stay on the warning screen so I can flash another rom or I cant get into recovery cause it keeps trying to boot as soon as I put the battery in and then shuts down and vibrates when it gets to the TMO screen??

I did do some searching on this particular problem and found nothing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Now I cant get it to stay on long enough again to flash the rom again, its doing the same thing.

I'll give it a shot....You have to keep trying to get into CWM long enough to wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions.

I was able to install 2.3.6 and it gave me no errors/force closes on boot but its still doing the original problem.. Also, its stock rom so there is no CWM, just the stock recovery where you can clear cache only. Should I try and get it to stay on long enough to root so I can install CWM and try to clear everything else or does it not matter at this point?

The weirdest thing to me about all this is why would it still vibrate when the usb is in but the battery is out? I mean.. dont you have to have the battery in for the phone to get proper connection to even have any juice flowing through it? Idk.. just dont make sense to me lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bandaid_nyc:
I understand your not rooted yet which is fine. Can you try to clear cache?

If that doesn’t work, I would like to power off, remove the battery, remove the sim card for 30 seconds. Once you have everything placed back together reboot and hopefully we can celebrate. lol
