My phone takes like 1 second to wake up. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I got used to the instantaneous wake ups with my old SGS3 and I thought this phone would be snapier.
Anyone else?

I have the same wake up lag.
Everyone has this problem, i dont think anyone has found a fix yet, all i know is that its not the processors fault

I have both phones and the Note 2 wins 90% of the time and my S3 has a custom rom and kernel so it's pretty beefed up so I think some of us got decent one's..? As you said though... Definitely NOT the processor!
Go to S Voice settings, then disable Open Via Home Key.
That should disable the wake up lag

Think that tip is for the "home button lag" fix...?
yeah when you first get your phone and you press home it doesnt go directly to home, it waits a second or two for the second click to activate s-voice but if you disable it (s voice < google search) it will go directly to home

Yup! :good:
I've noticed my phone doing the same thing. If it's a couple minutes in between turning the screen on it takes a second. My phone also seems to struggle with some simple transition animations, now.
Where are the S voice settings. I can't seem to find them.

No this fixes a separate issue. This fixes the home button lag when using it to go from an app to the home screen.
What the OP is talking about is the delay that you get when trying to wake up the phone, whether it be with the home button or the side button. This seems like a software issue that hopefully Tmobile/Samsung address.

That's weird because I don't experience this issue. There is no lag when I wake up my phone.
However, my phone is the international version so most likely the issue is related to Tmobile bloatware.
Try to disable Svoice home button first. If you still experience this issue, then you should wait for update

It is not the "SVoice solution related problem". It is a "power/home button to turn on" issue which is totally different.
Every T-Mobile Note 2 has it (I tested it on several of them at the T-Mobile store).

Nice, although i turned back on ripple effect. And the thing I noticed is that if you just turn off and on the screen it takes a while longer. However, if you just turn off the screen, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on, it's much faster.

Is there a way to remove the stock lockscreen?
Here is what I have currently:
Rooted with UnNamed Rom, using No Lock app. I also have WidgetLock just in case.
What happens:
Phone will randomly go to the Stock Touch Wiz Lockscreen during any application (NetFlix, Pandora, texting). It is pretty annoying, and sometimes the phone will pull up the dialer when I didn't even press anything.
I thought I could simply remove it on Titanium Backup but I cannot find what the actual name of the TW lockscreen is named.
Any suggestions?

Well the thing is tho, I'm pretty sure if you disable the lock screen you keep your phone from sleeping. That's actually an option you can choose from inside widget locker, its called wake lock. But if your phone isn't gonna sleep, the battery will drain continuously. Plus, any button will turn the screen on. But then again, im not 100% sure.... just mostly sure

Does anyone else have some knowledge on this?
If what hijewpositive says is true, that really stinks to have such a big design flaw on this phone like that.
If you go to your keypad and put in *#7594# Check box to enable and press home button. It will disable the lock screen. If you want to use the lock screen again repeat and uncheck box. Hope this is what you are looking for.

That worked for me, kinda:
It brought up a box that said "Enable to shut down app on long press".

Hmm, I've been getting the phone dialer pop up on UnNamed ROM also but only when I unlock the screen. Always thought I might of hit the phone dialer by accident, but this has occurred multiple times on UnNamed, but absolutely zero times before. Wonder if there's a bug?
Also, I use Go SMS which has a pop-up feature which prevents the lockscreen when an SMS comes through; phone still goes to sleep and no battery drain (tested it by leaving the popup on for half a day and using betterbatterystats, battery monitor, and cpu spy)
I use 'no lock' app. Never had a problem with it.
Is there a way to bypass the lockscreen. I would just like to push the power button and be on home screen. ???

Missing Windows Mobile wilder?
I don't think so in Android. There are apps that will allow you to delay the lock but I don't know about disabling or redirecting it. Let's see if you get any other suggestions.
I've used no lock on my photon with no issues-https://play.google.com/store/search?q=no+lock
if you are on ICS, just go to security and set lock screen to "none" if your still on GB im not sure

true no lock
If you really want to get rid of the lock screen on the epic touch then go into the dialer and enter *#7594#
It will prompt you to uncheck a box. That box is so that when you long press the power button it powers off. It will also disable the lock screen. I always wished my og epic had this so I seemed it out when I got the epic touch.
I hope this helps someone.
This app does it for me most of the time. It occasionally still gives the lock screen, but rarely. The lock screen shows up on boot, and I've seen it after a phone call once.
All you need to do is go to location and securty, lockscreen, none this works on Gingerbreadand ICS no need for any apps.

I think you misunderstand. Marking none in the settings just gets rid of pin or whatever type of lock screen you have chosen. We want there to be no lock screen. No version of Android does that in the settings as far as i know. That is ehy the app no lock exists.

When I am on the phone, the screen isn't going blank. Is there a setting i can change so it goes blank when its next to my face?
Am I the only one having this issue? Is there something wrong with the phone or is there a setting I need to change?
When I am talking on the phone, the screen is still on and I because of this, I am getting to menu's and different programs. My Atrix and my iphone would go blank to keep my face from hitting menu's while talking on the phone.
Mine turns off.

I'm actually finding it easy to live without SmartStay, though I thought I would miss it.
There's quite a few smart stay-alike apps in the market you can try, such as ISeeYou

I agree. I don't miss it. It never being there is better than only working 50% of the time due to lighting, angle, etc.
What does drive me a little bonkers about the backlight on CM10 is that when you have it set to go off at say 30 seconds, but the phone not to lock until 60 seconds, hitting home when the backlight goes off closes the current app instead of just waking up the screen. You have to use the power button to do this, but I don't think I'll ever get used to that!

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I have my screenlock delay set to 60 seconds after the screen automatically turns off (vs manual powerbutton), and pressing home wakes the device but also pauses whichever app was running. Should be a simple fix... just have to eat the homekey event after waking instead of passing it along the chain.
This may be something so simple that I just can't see it but, does anyone know how do increase the display time for the lock screen? Mine only stays on about 2 seconds and for the life of me I cannot find the setting to change it. Thanks.

Under Settings look at Display and Wallpaper, in there is the screen timeout. I have set mine to 30 sec and it works perfect.
Hope this helps a little.

Not to speak for OP but yes this is what he means. It goes off after about 3 seconds in the scenario you just mentioned. Only thing that "helps" is if you have smart stay activated it'll keep the lock screen on when you're looking at it.
But the reason this drives me insane is I have some apps, especially my SMS app, set to wake the screen upon receipt of a message. Well by the time I get the phone in my hand or out of pocket the screen is turning back off.

The only way to have control over the timeout period is to actually have a lock enabled. Rather it is pin, swipe, or pattern one of them must be enabled. The select Lock Automatically and then select the time you want it to stay on.
On my note 4 I noticed my screen was staying on lock screen for duration of regular screen timeout so I actually wanted the opposite of what you want. I then realized what was causing my lock screen to stay on if i pressed power button. It was the remote/peel smart widget on lock screen. If you enable it on lock screen it keeps your screen on for as long as your dimming timeout. Perhaps other lockscreen widgets might do the same.

Peel Smart is a Samsung app used to activate the the note 4 remote control features. It allows you to use the phone as a remote for tvs, devices etc. Inside the app there is a setting to enable the app on lock screen. Thats what allows my screen to stay on while locked.

Genius! I have been uninstalling random apps and using Greenify to force apps to "sleep" in an effort to get my constantly lit screen under control... I don't know how you narrowed it to the Peel widget, but instant solution!!
