One X takes awhile to unlock screen

Anyone having an issue of a serious lag when pressing the power key to unlock the screen? taking about 30 seconds for the ring to come up to unlock... just a black screen.

Yeah I've noticed same thing.when I put my sensation next to one-x and unlock,sensation unlocks a bit faster.but appart from that I think everything else is ok,but I'm a bit ov a newbie so there could be things I'm missing.all in all,I'm happy,wicked phone.

30 secs is unacceptaple... Did you install something or changed some setting somewhere?
If it remains like that all the time, maybe you should do a factory reset...

No, actually only got the phone and noticed it, I'll try a factory reset... Was gonna try a custom Rom to remove the bloatware and see if that solved it as I noticed there is a lot of 3 apps and processes

I'm still using stock and I'm.finding the phone snappy and fast no delay in the lock screen.

you know if you go into settings and apps you can disable all the apps that you do not use..my phone came with all the 3 bloatware and just disabled them..seems pretty ok now and all the rubbish have been removed...it is the same thing like when you freeze apps with TB but this one actually removes them from the app screen to try it out

actually just read up on that and cleared most bloatware from the app drawer

no, mine is fast...very fast

Up up up..
30 seconds point that there is something terribly wrong but, anyone having a slight noticeable delay on turning the screen on? Sometimes it can take up to a full second for the screen to come up completely and the ring to respond.
Last night I checked with my friends Sensation, it's faster quite easily noticed. Now tried with my girlfriends stock Desire S, it is indeed fast as lightning.
I'm too afraid to compare with my HD2..
Any ideas,?

A few small issues with my device. I'm wondering if it's worth exchanging?

Hello everyone,
I just bought my S3 last Sunday. Since then I have noticed several issues with it and I'm wondering if it's worth exchanging. They seem to be both software and hardware issues.
1. It's pretty laggy. For such a "groundbreaking" phone this is lagging much more than my old Sensation. It's rarely smooth switching between screens and going from lock screen to home screen is also laggy. Overall, it's not very smooth. Is this common on this device? Maybe I'm expecting too much.
2. The music player skips and repeats A LOT. Whenever a song is playing, it will constantly have gaps in the music. It will just stop playing for a brief second but then continue normally. It also will repeat parts of a song, such as saying some lyrics twice.
3. Whenever someone calls me, my voice sounds "distant" to them. If I call someone my voice sounds totally normal but when I receive the call I am either echoing or I sound like I'm holding my phone away from my face.
I guess my biggest problem is the lag. It really bothers me since it's supposed to be such an amazing and smooth phone. It takes several times longer to load apps and things than my old Sensation did, and I don't have many apps installed at all. Opening the app drawer is consistently laggy as well.
Are these common issues or do you guys think it would be worthwhile to exchange the phone? As of right now, I'm not very pleased with it.
Thanks for all your input, guys!
Edit: Also, whenever I hit the home button it takes several seconds to load it up. Is there a way to speed this up?
Also, I am not rooted yet. I always like to spend a few weeks with the stock setup before rooting.
Edit 2: Last thing, S Voice is a piece of **** on this. Literally. It takes FOREVER to load up and RARELY does what I say. Does this actually work for you guys or is S voice generally useless?

Not common at all. Exchange.

Smooth as butter.

Have you tried installing the latest OTA? It may help with some of your problems. For the home key lag, double press to open s voice, then go into settings and turn off double press home to open.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

1. Try this. Settings >Developer Options > Window animation scale ->change to 0.5x or off. Transition animation scale >animation is off
Also make sure Do not keep activities under developer options is unchecked. Check it first then uncheck it. This should solve the redraw issue on teh homescreen (at least it did for me)
2. Did not happen to me
3. Turn off noise reduction

For the distant sound issue open the dialer>call settings>additional settings>uncheck noise reduction. Even running unrooted the interface should be very smooth however.

that is yet another odd thing about my device. it claims I have the latest OTA, when I know I don't. Also, it says the music hub is still unavailable (even though I know several people who have it running)

I haven't actually used s-voice myself, but a lot of reviews said it wasn't very good.
Another thing you can try for the lag you mentioned is in Developer Options, change the Force GPU Rendering option.
Also try limiting background processes to 3 or 4. Though you shouldn't have to resort to this. If other options don't work id still take it back for exchange.

I just tried all the things you listed in number 1 and it is definitely faster, in a way. When I click the home button, the wallpaper pops up immediately. The apps however take significantly longer to load up and the app drawer still takes quite a while to load. I think I am stuck with a return. Thank you for all your help!

To speed up the home screen button:
Double tap home screen (bring up s-voice)
Tap menu softkey
Tap settings
Uncheck launch s-voice
You will need to do this with your new device as well.
And s-voice is generally useless, or as far as I've found.

Yea s-voice makes home button laggy. And have u tried to factory reset it?

Do a master reset without restoring back up. Sometimes this all that is necessary on any Rom. If that fails do a buyers remorse exchange.

wow. i cant believe i didnt think of this. i just did a factory reset and it is a world of difference. so much faster and smoother! i still think i'm going to exchange it tomorrow, however. the speaker issue worries me since it is probably a hardware issue

Yea it usually helps especially with the weird problems. But now if u are still having problems then yea take it back. Because now u ruled almost everything out or have done what u could have. Good luck

Thank you for making your own point.

make sure power save option is disable.it will make it very laggy

I haven't had any problems with my device. But a lot of times when I'm talking to my girlfriend she always asks if I put her on speakerphone and I haven't. She sometimes also says she hears an echo.

Random voice outputs

I didn't do anything new with my phone for a day or two, just the usual usage. Then out of nowhere when I reboot my phone, I would get voice outputs in Touchwiz. For example, if I'm at the homescreen and I pinch the screen to show the screen previews, the phone would say something like "Homescreen page edit" and then when I choose a homescreen it would say "homescreen page 407" or something. It also says "folder open/ folder close" whenever I open or close a folder. It's rather annoying, how do I turn it off?

Settings, accessibility and look for talk back and turn it off. I believe your talk back service is on which will voice everything you're doing

That's what I hoped but it was off the whole time..

Lol I just noticed I have the same issue. It only happens on home screen when I pinch out. Only happens then though. Probably has something to do with light flow as it didn't happen until i put it on. Does yours open happen when on home screen and pinch out to see all screens ?
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

Yep, Light Flow is known to cause this. If you've installed it, then that's the culprit. I believe there's a solution somewhere, but do not recall what it is.

Now that you mention it, that did only start happening when I installed Light Flow. I'll see if I can figure out how to disable it through the app and report back, thanks for the help.

I removed Light Flow from the accessibility options and it no longer happens. However, I think the app needs to be in there to work properly. We will see. Otherwise I'll just deal with the issue for now

[Q] Screen timeout not working?

I have stock (rooted then unrooted) JC with APEX launcher. It sounds crazy but my phone screen doesn't turn off by itself.
There are several times I woke up in the morning to find out my phone screen was on overnight (screen must have turned on when I plugged in the charger). Right now, I turned on my phone just to see if the screen would turn off at 1) lock screen 2) apex home screen. neither works.
I tried all these with different timeout settings (15 sec, 30 sec, 1min, etc.).
Anyone having the same problem? Anyone with solution?

Yes rebooting always solves the issue but can i get a permanent fix? It's kinda annoying. I'm on GT-N7100 JB4.1.2 and i've never rooted.

Kinda glad i wasnt the only one having this issue. Happened to me yesterday. Kinda freaked me out as i dont want anything wrong with this phone.. reboot worked for me yesterday.
On a side note.. every once in awhile my youtube app goes to **** and it refuses to play videos.. it says network error yet i can do everything else... reboot fixes that too.

Yeah no kidding. I really don't want anything to go wrong with my phone. But unfortunately it has been kinda buggy from day one. A minor issue with the stock keyboard was solved after the 4.1.2 update. But the weird error with the Quick Commands thingy ain't getting sorted out, even after the update. Of course, reboots also never help.

Oh someone please tell me what's wrong with my phone The screen timeout thingy ain't working An unattended message or missed call means my display stays on till I turn it off manually A reboot would solve the issue but then it would come back again. Any permanent fix? Please help I've never rooted my phone.

Uninstall any apps that keep your screen on or go through the apps list and kill everything individually. imediashare keeps my screen on after I'm done using it cause it still wants to stay running.

Went through the 124 apps that had WAKE_LOCK permission. (Used Permission Explorer). If I count out the recently installed apps before which the problem had originally started, I guess there aren't any suspicious apps. Oops Aren't there any apps that forces the display to go off? ^_^

I'm just throwing it out there by maybe go into recovery and fix permissions? Clear the cache? Factory reset if all else fails I guess.

Hi. Having the same problem... However, i believe it has to do with the feature that prevents screen from turning off if you are looking at it. Try to turn it off and on. Perhaps it will help.
If you continue to have problems, just disable that feature... it is a good adon, but having the screen turn off tose battery is more important.
Hope it helps.
Let us know if it worked out

Home button Is now a menu button and won't change back.......

Hey what's up guys.... for some odd reason my home button is now my menu button and won't change back. I opened up the phone and the connections are right but It still does it. I tried everything and still a no go and don't know what to do next

Do you have xposed installed?

Go to wanam xposed, settings and look for home button behavior. Then change it to default or whatever you want.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Wanam doesn't work till the phone boots up so it's not wanam I already checked it. It's something else that's causing this

Thus should be In the q&a section but I think if you're running xposed and you have Samsung keyboard hold delay module on, it will mess with your physical buttons so disable the module if you have it

I'll have to wait till I get home to take it apart again and go over everything to make sure everything looks good

This is a weird post.
1) Why would you open the phone to check this? did you open the phone and physically do something to it first?
2) You provided no real info about your phone, rooted?, have any root modules installed? Using a different rom?
Sounds like you are messing around and now have messed something up. hard to fathom what the issue is with out any real clue what you are doing to it.

@krelvinaz what's soo weird about the post ??? When the iPhone home button fails it's usually the connection popping off. The note 3 is not hard to work on and I done it before so no its not user error because it happened when I was out for dinner last night and actually the home button stopped working completely and now it's working but as a menu button.. I was running jovys rom and kernel and I wasn't using Wanam or exposed.. right now I am running a stock rooted build of my own with a stock kernel no mods and it's still doing it. I jumped to cm11 and aosp and still does the same thing. I had this note 3 since black Friday so returns are out of the question and I do have insurance but it's bothering me that I can't figure it out lol...Whats funny too the phone vibrates when i push the home button like i am pushing the menu n back keys

Fixed it apparently the Home button has a short/bad connection.. i get my replacement on tuesday but at least for now I can use it
