Power to screen on lag.

I found a old thread on this but has anyone came up with a fix other then not letting phone sleep or removing memory card. The memory card fix doesn't seem to help.
Coming from evo 3d this is my only issue. And I loved my 3d but this phone beats it in everything except that.

What version are you on? I ask because it looks to be fixed in the latest leaks. I never had a bad lag though. But for me it went from 1 - 2 seconds to instantly - 1 second. Instant being 99 percent of the time.

I'm on the new tnz blend I believe its el29. The lag isn't super horrible I can live with it just seeing if it can get any better.
It's just really noticeable when on charge its instance then u pull it off charge u notice it but I'm not that picky that its a make or break thing.

Well, the instant on from being on charge is a different story than the SD card lag issue. When the phone is charging the processor doesn't enter deep sleep (no need to), hence why the screen turns on instantly. This is pretty typical behavior for Samsung phones. It also separate from how long the phone takes to turn on with and without an SD card while unplugged.
I know HTC phones turn on almost instantly even when unplugged, but i don't have an answer as to why. It could be the processor never really turns off, just really low speed?

Yeh I'm actually thinking the same thing about HTC and so far I am getting noticeably better battery life with this phone. So if its a trade off on waiting 1.5 seconds and battery life. I don't have anything better to do in the 1.5 seconds ;-)

Are you useing the kernel 2.6.0 came with or did you change it? Also try turning on on/off animation under lockscreen settings overall settings.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Same kernel it came with I will play with the animation settings some.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Change just those 2 animations. Also you might try Desperado kernel from Steady Hawkins.

This has been something that has sorta drove me nuts. I've tried just about everything (roms and kernels) and the only thing that I noticed any difference on was calks fb17. It seemed to be better.
I am currently running Epic Venum rl1b eko2 with rogue 1.4 gunslinger and it is the same as pretty much everything else (the screen lag). I'm getting ready to try calks fb21 ics, we'll see what happens.
Edit: just realized that this is my first post....wow I suck!

My iPhone 4S turns on instantly.

Random freezing/reboots...HELP!!

So basically what's going on is that once or twice a day my phone freezes (causing me to have to do a battery pull) or randomly reboots. I have tried three different roms (one being stock rooted) and the problem still occurs. I've tried different kernels, different modems, and changed everything I thought might help, including disabling SetCPU. I'm completely baffled, and I'm to the point that I think my beloved E4GT might be defective. So any help or suggestions would be great. TIA.
BTW my current setup is...
Blazer ROM 3.7
EL29 modem
Gunslinger kernel
TW4 launcher (not sure if that matters)

Is your phone possibly overheating? Cause it definitely sounds like a hardware related issue.

That's kinda what I was thinking... When it restarts on its own the notification LED turns pink and I swear I read somewhere that it means the phone has overheated.
Funny thing is, most of the time after it reboots I can use my phone for hours with moderate-heavy use and it won't do it again... It's so random

I would just take it back to stock, then to Sprint for a swap. Do you have insurance on your device? If not, you'll still be under the 1 year manufacturer warranty, and it will only cost $35 to get another device.

Yeah I have insurance... Just got off the phone with tech support and I'm going to the store later.
I know the manager at the store I'm going to so maybe I'll try to get him to let me swap it for a white E4GT lol

Phone will not charge!!

I am having a real problem here whenever i plug my phone into my wall socket or computer it will charge for about 5 seconds then say battery disconnected. I am on phantom hackers blazer rom v 3.7 and this just started happening yesterday when i installed 2 mods a battery icon and social hub. I restored because i thought it was one of the files but i still cant charge. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Anyone? I thought it may have been a software issue so I did a full data wipe, wiped everything and installed calkulins 2.8 and it is still doing it. Now sometimes it wont even recognize the battery when I try to charge it when the phone is off. Do you guys think its a failing battery or the phone? I should also not that the phone has always been extremely sensitive like if it I hit it by accident or drop it from even a couple inches it will reboot.

Night want to take it to sprint if it has always had issues

Well if you do have insurance they will charge you, but what you might want to tty is using a different charger.. my charger broke the other day (it wasn't charging my phone ) and i grabbed my old HTC charger. Hope this helps..

Ya I flashed it back to stock it is still messed up. Anyone think it might just need a new battery?

I mean, try the charger and then the battery. If you don't have a battery arrouns you, go to sprint and ask them if you can see if you're battery is messed up. They will more than likely give you one for free

Ya I dont but I am taking it back to sprint later today to see what is going on. I am pretty sure it is either the battery or a loose connection somewhere in the phone because like I said in my earlier post this thing has always been extremely sensitive like if I accidentally put it down hard or anything it will reboot. Also like I said in my other thread it likes to reboot randomly when just in my pocket too. I also noticed whenever I try to run titanium backup it reboots 99% of the time before it finishes.

Well the thing is I can transfer stuff flawlessly on it. I took it to the sprint store the guy played with it for 2 hours and told me there is absoluetly nothing wrong with it so I dont know what to think. It has been running good ever since I got it back. I knew that would happen though as soon as ya bring something in to get it fixed it works flawlessly! The guy gave me a new charger idk I did try numerous chargers and they all said battery disconnected but this one actually does seem to be working so we will see what happens.

[psa] leaving recovery on too long results in hard brick

THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY ME, AND JOKERSAX HAS TOLD ME ABOUT TWO OTHER DEVS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR RESULTS
This is a public service announcement saying that if you leave recovery (I left TWRP on overnight while restoring a nandroid) on too long, under certain circumstances not yet completely determined may lead your device to a hard brick. This has happened to 3 people so far, and want to avoid anymore issues with this.​
For more details on what happened I was flashing a V5 test build of my rom im working on adding aroma too where I got another syntax error to fix. It was about 11:30 at night, so I just started restoring from a nandroid, threw the phone upside down, and knocked out. When I woke up the next morning I checked the device and it was off in recharge mode- nothing too big. I then tried to boot and it ended up flashing the notification light and softkeys repeatedly, and did nothing else. I was able to get it into download mode, but LGNPST kept timing out. Then after trying several times with it timing out it wouldnt get into download mode. I then tried to just get anything to light up, and left it on the charger for several hours, and then gave up that my device was hard bricked. No data remained. I had to go to best buy and wait about an hour and a half for them to get me a new device. I hope everyone can avoid this happening to their device. It is a slow, but sure death reported by a few people.​

And to think I left my phone in recovery. for about 2 hours =x scared to even boot to recovery now

If youre phone boots it will be fine. I left it for about 8 hours or so.

You should make this a sticky

Ya i was taking my time with the aroma installer and noticed my phone heat up real quick! Had to turn my phone off after the rom booted. Close call!

This must be what happened to my first LGOG, I feel asleep running a backup. When I woke up it wouldn't boot. Thank goodness for Geek Squad coverage.

Does anyone know if this problem exists with clockwork too? I already fried a phone just making a simple backup using TWRP.
I'm using CWM now and made a backup and flashed a rom and my phone survived.

My phone also gets really got while in recovery mine also overheated exactly like the OP but mine came back to life I left it alone for a few hours then put it on the charger and finally got into download mode then recovery and restore. We definitely need to do something like timeout where after 10 minute the phone shuts off or something. Not sure it is possible but I like ranting lol

Thanks for the info! I used to leave backups running overnight all the time with my previous devices. Good thing I haven't with this one.

Only thing that could heat up the phone like that is the cpu core running at max.or spiking to max very very rapidly. Basically the soc with all the chipsests are not going into a sleep mode. I can see why all the data was gone and or damaged. I've seen something like this with other electronics.

I have not left recovery on long enough to experience noticeable overheating myself. I wish I knew how to fix the recovery myself though. Also as for making this a sticky (I read half the posts through email, and might have got this thread mixed up) mods are kinda inactive, so it will be hard for us to do.

If I am in recovery for 5 seconds, my device heats up really bad. But it is the only time it heats up.

I have heat up while playing games or streaming music, or leaving it at the lockscreen too long. Maybe undervolting it can fix it? IDR if joker's test kernel added it or not.

Happened to me to. But mine was adb push file to sdcard and lost power due to usb low charge and recovery turning phone into a glass top stove

Mine overheats after playing Beach Buggy Blitz for five minutes, in recovery. Too often really :/

These are reasons I always finish what I'm working on before I sleep! It drives my girlfriend nuts ha ha. But yes, the phone does get hot rapidly in recovery hotter than I have ever gotten it running any game or app

Lgog getting really hot.

Alright so the back of my phone (near the camera) has been getting really hot recently. Idk if it's the summer heat, my usage or what, but if I even use it for like 5 minutes it starts to warm up. Has this been happening to anyone else?

Yep, it was just heating up pretty bad compared to me OG evo. I flashed over to CM10 to try it, so far it hasnt really heated up. Only when playing the games, i just wish we could get this stupid camera issue fixed. That makes me want to go back to Lifeless.

check out spleefs AOKP rom, my temps have gone down significantly from the stock rom which would get hot AF

Mines cool with stock but with aosp its hot AF

It's a glass phone with a quad core processor i think you can figure the rest out.
Sent from my overclocked OG

True

This issue seems to vary from person to person there seems to be no "fix-all" solution. Personally the only time my phone's ever gotten absurdly hot for no reason was when I ran the first build of Cyanogenmod for this device. On stock it took some nasty 108 °F weather to make my phone boil. By now though my phone always stays reasonably cool AOSP or not. You can try changing governors or whatnot with a non-stock kernel or maybe even try eco mode if it isn't already on. That's all I can think of.

I've definitely experienced some heat on mine. Lol

Dam!! That's hot

Mine's been getting really high temps too, even while just browsing the internet!
At some point while I was flashing a rom, it crashed and gave me a soft brick.
It was hell to remove the back and now I even accidentally detached the connector that hooks up with the battery!
I can still charge it (sorta) but my battery is all glitchy.
I'm gonna try switching to aosp.

Its WiFi I made a post about it ....

yea
My phone reaches 120f when playing game but averages 90-100f, its fine

I've noticed that only Stock ROM's have this problem. When I go from Stock to CM, I notice the change of temp right away and vise versa. I get the worst heat from charging. I have a 2.1A home charger and charges the phone quick on CM but with Stock it heats up to almost 130F and doesn't charge at all. There is something wrong with Stock. (I tried Lifeless, VectuS, & nexOGen).
