Slow Unlock button

Hey guys,
I'm new to the Note 2 and to xda developpers in general, so be patient if I take time understanding things.
I bought a Note 2 from Videotron (i know its not T-mobile). When my phone is locked and I press the side power button or the home button to turn the screen on, I notice that more times than not, it takes about 2-3 seconds to unlock. That may not sounds like much, but trust me, it gets annoying.
Does anyone know of any solution to this?
Thanks!

Try going into "Lock screen" options in Settings and disabling "Pop up note on lock screen". Also try disabling the ripple effect.
People have also said that changing the animation settings in Developer options speeds it up a bit. Though personally I can't stand doing that.
Your milage may vary.

Thanks darkierawr, i was having the same problem. Disabling popup Note has fixed it.

None of those options took the wake lag away for me. I love the phone but i hope this bug gets ironed out along with some of the ui lag i get.

Ive noticed this too. And it is annoyong, the phone is so fast in every other way, the lag seems very noticable on unlock and hitting the home button. My popup on note has always been disbled, and I tried tweaking the developer options as mentioned on another thread, but didnt seem to help.

My experience with newer Samsung phones, all of them have this issue. I think it has something to do with how the chip goes to sleep, it's how they conserve power. My Sprint Epic4GTouch did it, my Note N7000 did it and now the N7100. All my other phones before those were HTC.

You have to disable S-Voice from settings. That is what it's causing the super slow wakeup.

For me the unlocking the device is fast. But there is a lag in the light to turn on.
I have as much features running so I can learn the device. And have huge amount of apps as always. I also have Nova Launcher and TouchWiz both running. I find by doing that all features work including Page Buddy and yet get the customization the I want. I did disabled lots of auto start background processes that I didn't need to auto run (AutoStarts). That solved lots of delays in the system.
The lag I experience is from the device waking up from sleep. But then all smooth.

Something else that you can do to eliminate the lag: open the S Voice and uncheck home button open S Voice. The device waits for an extra second to see if you are going to push the home button twice for S Voice and then it opens if you don't.

I have the international version but have the same problem with screen going on when pressing the power button. Disabled S-Voice and Pop-Up note and have some improvement but still it is noticeable slow.

[Q] Touchscreen unresponsive waking up from standby

Is this happening to anyone else?
The power button and volume buttons work but the screen is entirely unresponsive. The only remedy is to remove the battery. It has happened three times but not predictably enough to reproduce.
The phone is rooted with IORoot and I'm running Xposed, G3Tweaksbox with quite a few of the theming options enabled (inc. status bar and lockscreen contents). I also disabled the Knock feature through the hidden settings. I'm completely aware that customization might be the cause, but curious if anyone else has had similar symptoms or knows of relevant bugs.

Happens to me as well, D855 version. It happens once a day but i can unfreeze it, i keep tapping the screen and pressing randomly power and volume buttons. It unfreezes after 5-6 seconds but it's by no means a FIX. This should not happen on a new phone and i'm thinking of selling mine and buying some other model by a different manufacturer.

No combination of screen presses for any amount of time gets it working. It's happening 4-5 times a day and is only resolved by taking out the battery.
I tried the method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792580 but my firmware version did not change.

It only happen to me if I disable the Knock feature..Try to activate the knock feature and see if it helped

Thanks, @bollefinn. Enabling Knock does seem to resolve the problem. Of course, it creates new problems with the phone turning on in pockets, but that's of less concern.

Device wake issues (power button ignoring first press)..

Hi,
I've had my M9 for a couple of weeks now, and slowly getting it to work how I want it to. One thing nagging me is this weird issue I have with waking the device from sleep.
I have tried to disable all the gesture/smart wake features (double tap the screen, etc). The issue I'm having seems to relate to the light and/or proximity sensor. It seems (and I haven't been able to find any info on this, online or on the phone) that there is a feature which will enable the device to wake up when being picked up or taken out of my pocket. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When I pull my phone from my pocket, it will sometimes wake up. When I glide my finger over the front camera & light sensor, it will sometimes wake up. This is a minor annoyance, as I would like to only be able to wake my device by hitting the power button.
It gets really annoying when these 'gesture' wakes start to interfere with the power button wake. For example (and this is happening more often than not), when I pull my phone out of my pocket, the phone is off, then I hit the power button once, and the phone still doesn't wake. Hitting the power button a second time will wake the device. It seems to me that the smart waking is some how interfering with the manual waking.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks a lot for any help.

This is really odd considering the M9 doesn't support air gestures. Sorry, I have no solution, but is it possible you may have installed an app that may be causing this?

I would think two button push would be the normal, otherwise you could accidentally hit it once and turn the screen on. Do you have Ambient display and pocket detection all turned off ?
Gravity Screen in the play store gives you total control of all that stuff

That for the replies guys.
Clsa, there is no way to disable ambient display & pocket detect because those features do not exist on the M9 (at least... Not that I have found). That's what is bugging me.
I don't think the 2 button press is normal. I've never had to do it on previous phones.
Fernand - not sure if it is another app causing it. I think I have no extra apps installed compared to my last phone.
I just tried Gravity Screen, and it seems to just give me the ability to enable all the features I want to disable.
Any other suggestions?

Settings / Display & Gestures / Ambient display (Wake screen when device is picked up or notifications arrive)
Pocket Detection is part of some Rom Tweaks (insertcoin & viperOne if i remember right)

Hi again, that option is not available on my phone. Do you see it on your M9?
I don't have a custom ROM. Not rooted either.

Yes I have it, but I'm on LeeDroid right now. He adds so much stuff i forget whats "custom" and whats stock

Got the same issue
The power button will ignore the first push while standing by for a long time. Thought it might be caused by apps like greentify?

Hi Ducati, is that a fact or is that just how you understand it? Seems strange that that would be intentional. But it definitely seems to be the case.
I do not have greenify installed either.
Do you get similar behaviour on your One?

After a bit more testing. I can confirm that there are some sort of air gestures on this device. I can wave my finger in front of the front light sensor/camera, and the device will wake.
This doesn't happen all the time, I am not always able to reproduce this. But right now, it is happening. Can anyone else reproduce this?
http://somevid.com/N1OnU8JS

I have the same issue on my M9. Glad I found this thread. Thought my power button was defective.
I can't activate any gestures by waving my hand.
I think it's happening mostly when waking from deep sleep.

I know it's an old thread, but I just installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and I guess my google-fu is rusty. I find that if I hit the power button in quick succession (double click) it turns off the phone. Anyone know how I can stop this?
By quick succession I mean multiple times within 20 seconds

How Do I Keep My HTC 10's Screen On While Reading (Smart Screen/Stay....Whatever lol)

So other phones like the Sony Xperia and LG V-Series phones have a feature where the phone can detect your eyes and/or face while you are reading something on the screen while NOT touching it. This feature is MOST helpful when reading whatever is on the screen and NOT wanting it to shut off either.
For whatever crazy reason, the HTC 10 does NOT have this feature! And when I try to install 3rd party apps in order to make this an option, I always have some issue come up that doesn't let it work. Does ANYONE have a way around this that DOESN'T involve bootloader unlocking and/or rooting????????! It is so frustrating to me that HTC did not think to put this on a 2016 FLAGSHIP natively.
Thanks!

Why not just adjust the screen timeout settings? Not exactly what you're looking for but it'll do the job.

Well b/c I wanna save battery life. I'm not ALWAYS reading the screen, and I don't want it to stay on longer than needed. I just can't believe HTC didn't think of this. I LOVE this phone except for 1) This very issue and 2) The fact that when you enable ANY kind of security measure on the phone involving the lockscreen, Double Tap To Sleep ONLY works if you're ON the lockscreen (a lesser issue to me, but still). Both LG and and Sony have this same option, and NEITHER has any issue with it. You just double tap the screen to turn the screen off, and no problem. The apps I got that DID let the double tap to sleep work also disable the security settings, which isn't cool Just can't believe HTC didn't think of this.
They could fix BOTH issues with updates, but who knows if they will.

hi com,
This app is a step in the RIGHT direction, but it keeps the screen, on where I need something that scans for my eyes and/or face so I can read the screen comfortably and not feel rushed to touch the screen to keep it on.
I'll write to the developer though since he seems cool.
Thanks!!

Set it to 30 minutes or an hour (Which isn't possible on Samsung phones (10 min max so they have to waste unnecessary battery life with useless smart stay which is crap at night), and turn your screen off manually like everyone else.
Custom roms allow holding home button to sleep or various other options.

If you switch to viper ROM, there's a quick setting called "caffeine" it will keep your screen on until manually shut off or set period of time

I could do that, but I'd rather not. lol
I ended up finding an app called Wakey which when you get the full version, it keeps the screen on for any specific apps you choose until you either manually shut the screen off yourself or else leave/close out of those apps. So basically it's been resolved.

How to Disable Screen Wake for Ring app

Hey all, my ring doorbell app wakes the screen anytime I get an alert. I want to keep the notifications on but don't want the screen to wake. It wakes even in my pocket which I want to of course avoid. It may just be a bug in the app but I should be able to limit that from happening. Or so I hope anyway.
I have tried the following.
1. Switched all notifications pertaining to the app and individual cameras to "sound only"
2. In the app I have disabled "alerts open full screen video"
3. I have disabled heads up notifications globally through ADB.
4. Disabled ambient display.
5. Disabled notifications on lock screen.
I'm at a loss on what to do next. Any ideas are appreciated at this point.
TIA

I've struggled with the same thing for months. It never used to do it, but after an update earlier this year it became the new normal for me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Hopefully somebody chimes in with some sort of work around.

I'm having the same problem with a Sony XZ1 phone (Android 8.0.0). I spoke with Ring at length and it's 'apparently' a problem with my phone, not their App.
I think that's a load of rubbish and something they need to address and fix. I installed the App on another Android phone running an earlier version of software, the App installs with different options and doesn't wake up the screen. So it's obviously dependent on the OS version but as other Apps don't have the same problem I can only conclude that it's an issue with the Ring App.

Has anyone tried uninstalling the app and then install an older version from APK mirror? Not even sure its on there but it's worth a go

That's a great idea. There are plenty of versions to try on APK mirror, one or two per month from 2018. Not a good sign for a reliable and stable app.
I'll give it a go later unless anyone gets there first and can suggest a 'good' version to try

Were you able to find an older version that doesn't have the screen wake behavior?
edit: Pixel 2 - going back to 2.0.66.8 still has the screen wake behavior regardless of notification setting.
edit 2: 2.0.57.2 does the same thing...

Looks like the latest ring version finally let's you fix this. Select your devices, go to notification settings, then select sound only. The default is sound plus pop up. I no longer have the issue after making the change.

Can anyone confirm if turning off the 'plus pop' in the ring app settings works? I have a new pixel 3 on Android pie and the app is still turning on the screen at every alert event with settings set to just sound or just silent.

I'm having the same issue with the ring app. It wakes the screen. Really sucks when phone is in my pocket. I have tried every option and or combo of options. I have a pixel 3a on Android 10. Android 10 does have a option to wake screen for notifications found under display advanced, lock screen. But it is turned off

Still a problem on Android 10, No combinations of settings has been able to stop this for me. Of course Ring denies this even though I have sent a logcat to them.
