Hey there,
New SGS3 owner coming from an iPhone 3GS, and I have run across a few items that I'm just curious about whether they're 'normal' or not for the Android system.
Running CM10 10/19 NIGHTLY
1) I just installed a new SD card. Every time my phone reboots I get a popup 'Preparing SD Card/Checking SD Card'. It doesn't take very long to go through, but is this normal?
2) I have a data tethering plan. I have connected using the Wifi hotspot and direct with Bluetooth. Bluetooth seems faster (although seems to drop the connection when the phone's screen goes off). Is this normal?
3) Sometimes when I press the 'Home' key, the screen does not immediately turn on to the lock screen. It either takes a few presses, or I have to use the lock/unlock button. Since I don't know if its related, I am using Nova Launcher Prime, not the built-in Trebuchet launcher. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance for your help!

1 - Yes
2 - May be tied to the Wifi issues with the new CM10 nightlies
3 - Yes, doesn't matter the launcher, but again, known issue, sometimes even the power button takes a press or 2

i inherited a tilt 2 that i am using withut a sim card. just wifi, and primarily as a skype phone at home.
works ok with skype, but how do i get wifi to stay on with screen off? everytime i kill the screen with the power button, wifi turns off.
and, even with power settings arranged for screen to go off (both on batt and ac power), the screen never goes black on its own... i have to push power button.
im up for changing roms too... so if u have any advice, all i need is wifi and skype to work. period.
here ya go, fixes wifi stand by issue.
thanks. download and installed... seems to have done the trick.
I've been using CM10.1 for some time now without any major problems, but recently my phone fell like half a meter from a table and after that it started behaving weirdly:
1. The SIM was not recognized anymore (i just found out that the SIM card is faulty, as other phones do not recognize it aswell)
2. The phone keeps randomly rebooting(even after fullwipe and updating to CM10.2) after press the power button to either wake the phone or turn the display off.
I have literally no idea what could be the cause of the second problem, as It does not happen everytime I press it, but just randomly from time to time.
Thanks for any help in advance!
EDIT: I should probably also mention, that if I constantly wake the phone via the QWERTY keyboard and let it fall into standby automatically the reboots do not happen.
Hello to all.
Recently acquired my P605 after selling my iPad 3.
I researched a lot and decided to buy. I love it, but the only thing that is annoying to me is the screen.
Every time I click the button ON / OFF, home button or even with the cover, the screen takes about 2/3 seconds to turn on. I've already done a hard reset, disabled all possible settings (SVoice stand by, unlocking effect the lock removed, etc ...) just missing me reinstall the ROM (MJ9) again.
My friend has the P600 and says that the screen turns on immediately when he clicks the button On/Off or Home button or even when open the cover.
My question is if you think it is defective? Or what should I do more?
Thanks.

I read that doing the following helped some people.
Open my magazine by swiping up from bottom of home screen > hit menu button > Hit settings > deselect open via home button.

I tried that already. But nothing. The situation stays the same.
Thanks for your help any way.

I know some people in US had the problem and when the got updatdd to MK1 the wake up lag got better but no idea when everyone else will get this update.

Finally found the bug.
After trying to disable applications, clean the tablet, disable functions, reinstall the ROM, etc. ...
I found that removing the memory card (SAMSUNG MICROSDHC UHS-1 PLUS 32GB) solves the delay in wake up of the display.
My doubt is what I do, because beyond of the display delay, something must be using more system resources.
Is anyone aware of a fix?
Thank you.
I have no delay, at least after deleting the mp3s i had on the sd while trying out the new tablet. Now it holds only dslr jpegs.
The system media scanner should be the culprit, though it normally should do a full scan only after boot, not after standby. Normally the scanner runs silent, but on my mobile it verboses, it's a two stage affair taking several minutes, with lots of mp3s on the sdcard, and few jpegs. (First stage is searching media, second is scanning media)
Controlling/disabling the scanner requires root. There are apps which bring their own scanner, probably the video and music players of the note, which I disabled.
No issues here.
Using a poetic slimline case with open/close screen on off sensing and a 64gb microSD card, from Samsung.
What format is your SD card? I always use fat32 on larger cards for stability. Might be the issue.

It's interesting, because I had the same issue. My tablet would take 3 seconds to come up after I pressed the power on. While following a battery saver tip, I just unchecked WiFi scanning, and all of a sudden there was no lag. Not sure if it will work for anyone else. FYI: I have a SanDisk 32GB micro sd card installed.
Hope someone can help, I've searched but couldn't find the answer.
I have a really annoying problem in that if I lock my phone then unlock it, if i open an already open app, the bottom key bar (which contains the back key, home key and open apps key) is unresponsive apart from the home button. If I'm in messaging, the keyboard will be as well. If I press the back button for example, it shows it being pressed but does nothing. Sometimes the Google search thing pops up when you hold the home button. To remedy the only way is to press home then open again without locking the screen. Any ideas?
Ya samething happens to my phone also but not always. Wait buddy you will get more bugs like this its sony.
RichRoberts44, what is your FW? Do you have root? Did U unlock bootloader? More info is needed to even try to find a solution
This happens to me also from time to time and I don't even use the key bar, I use gestures with a 3rd party app. When this happens only home gesture works. It does happen rarely though.
The same problem began on my phone two weeks ago. Over the last two weeks, it increased. I had to restart my phone all the time. Besides the two issues you describe, I had two additional issues:
The clock on the lock screen didn't always appear when I managed to turn on the phone.
When I put the phone to sleep, I often couldn't turn it back on for several minutes.
Over the two weeks, all the problems occurred still more often. At the end, it was so annoying, that I backed up all my stuff and did a factory reset and recovered the backup. Now it is working perfectly again.
I run 14.4.A.0.157
are y0u r00ted 0r what?h0w ab0ut the running apps?is it t00 many?

I purchased a new Nexus 7 (2013) a couple of weeks ago, and if I could return it, I would. I have a couple of user issues I just hate. I've been searching around for solutions, and I think there may be some, but I'm new to all of this, and I need some help and advise.
My first issue, and this is huge for me, is waking the tablet up. I primarily use the tablet to control my music server (Bubble DS Next). I'm frequently on the tablet while listening, but not always. The problem is that when the tablet sleeps, I have to use the power button to wake it up. I find the power button difficult to press, and it's just a pain. I have a Samsung S5 phone, and I love the physical home button for waking up the phone. I wish the Nexus 7 had the same button. I saw where someone was able to double tap the screen to wake up the Nexus 7. Is this part of some custom ROM? How could I get this feature?
My second issue relates to the on screen back, home, and apps buttons. I HATE that the home button is right below the space bar where I constantly seem to hit it while typing. I solved this issue while browsing the internet by using Dolphin as a browser in full screen mode. Is there a way to always hide these buttons unless you swipe up from the bottom?
I'm prepared to unlock and root the tablet, but I want to be certain I'm doing it for the right reasons. I'm not a power user of any kind, so other than wanting these 2 fixes, I'm fine with everything else about the tablet.
Thanks.

I decided since I can't return the thing, I might as well jump in and make it work better. I unlocked, rooted, TWRP'd, and flashed ElementalX ROM for Lollipop. I'm also using APEX Launcher mostly to get the tablet UI. At least I got the double tap to wake function now.
Thanks
