galaxy note 2 N7100 screen wake up lag solution

hi everbody,
i had the same issue (wake up lag) on my note 2, plus i have a strange thing too: when i install an application from market and return to home, touchwiz was always crashing..
i disabled popup note and ripple effect on lockscreen, disabled svoice and everything else i found on the internet, but nothing helped..
then i discovered samething really strange:
i was keepin the application "google play store" in a folder. when i get it out of the folder and placed directly on one of the screens, everything chanced.. no wake up lag, no crashes..
i hope it will help everone who is not satisfied from other solutions.

I'm sorry, but I can't see how that could possibly be a solution.
Lol. i tried it anyway.. to make sure. No change in wake up lag.

No. It doesn't fix the issue. I always had market out of any folder but still had that lag.

This helps. Don't forget to reboot.

This doesnt make any sence but I tried it as well. No dice.

No, that doesn't help. The problem is a hardware problem and will take an intricate solution from Samsung or a crafty dev, if there is a solution at all.

If it's true that the magical sleep mode the note goes in to causes the lag, yet contributes to the awesome battery life I get.. honestly, I'll take the lag.

It's something to do with the Exynos. I had both the AT&T Galaxy S III and the Internation i9300 SIII. The US version had much quicker wakeup times vs. the US version with the Snapdragon processor. It used to drive me crazy, but it's gotten to the point where it doesn't bother me. After living with the Note, International SIII, and now the Note II. That tiny second or so delay hasn't made my life any worse. I'd take the Exynos, better DAC, GPU, etc any day over the slightly improved screen wake-up.

I turned off:
1) S Voice - Open via the home key.
2) All 3 animations.
Still have the wake up lag

Same here.

This has been discussed innumerable times before. Just taking an app out of a folder, disabling various functions is not going to solve the wakeup lag. Its caused because the SOC goes into kind of a deep sleep after a certain while when the screen is switched off. This helps it consume lesser battery life. The only way to solve this would be to create sort of a wakelock for the phone. Sure, your phone will turn on the moment you press the sleep/wake button, but at the cost of battery life.

Freezed svoice. Lag gone

Freezing SVoice will eliminate lag when pressing the home button to go back to home screen from any other screen. Will not fix the wake up lag.

Just got the Note 2 but the screen on lag may be a deal breaker for me!

I have researched and it seems there is no fix to the 1-2 second delay after the phone has been sitting for at least 15 seconds when you hit the home or power button. Ive tried turning off S-voice and all of the other recommendations but like most people with this issue the problem is not resolved.
Also I cannot get the ATT 4.1.2 update. Its still at 4.1.1 and tells me I have to check back in 24 hours.

Root, TRWP, and install SKYNOTE.
The rom has multi window and he has fixed the screen delay.

Thanks. So the only solution is to root?

Download Soft locker from the market and it will stop the screen lag and I have never noticed any noticable difference in battery life its still a beast!!!

I'm baffled why some have this problem. I've never had a screen on lag.
I use a pure black wall paper.
Home Screen Mode Basic
I run Nova Launcher
Settings:
Blocking Mode Off
Power Save Off
Display->Page Buddy Off
Display->Smart Rotation Off
Display->Smart Stay Off
Display->Auto Adjust Screen Tone Off
Lock Screen->Popup Note Off
S Pen->Open Popup Note Off
S Pen->Battery Saving On
S Pen->S Pen Keep On
S Pen->Air View Off
One Hand Operation Off
Don't know if these settings will help...

These other options could work but I am running clean room right now and I do notice the screen delay but it does not bother me.
I do know Sean the sky note rom creator has fixed this lag.
Root for the gn2 is sooo easy and very fast. Literally took me 3 min to Root and 2 min to flash twrp. In the mean time just download the rom cuz its like 800mb lol.
Good luck man. This is the best device I have used. I went from the Motorola Atrix to iphone 5 to this. Just the screen and s pen is a seller to me lol.

Root it and bump up the cpu minimum setting about 400 to 600 mhz or set the scaling to interactive or ondemand. Cpu master is a good free app to use. Just Unclick the set on boot till you find your phone butter zone.

I know...This phone blows all of them out of the water right now..and now that we got all of the Dev's Love going on...it just keeps getting better.
Maybe when the new G4 comes out...maybe...but the note 3 won't be that far behind it...and I really doubt either one will be that much better over all than what we already have...They both would have to have some really serious hardware updates to make me move to one...and I wouldn't want to give up my unlocked Note II for a locked down version of anything just yet...

It's an old thread, but it seems the most relevant. I just flash my Gnote 2 to Skynote 10. I'm noticing the screen delay when it wakes. It's most jarring when I receive a call, answer it, the person starts speaking and my phone screen is still blank. Important because sometimes I have to switch to speaker phone or bluetooth ASAP. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?

lol that app works by introducing a wakelock... so while others look to remove wakelocks, we do the opposite LOL
it's december and the problem still exists... using slimbean 4.3.1 and devil kernel... takes my phone a second or two to wake up... quite annoying actually...
guess there's no way around this other than to disable deep sleep (you can set that in kernel settings, if supported)

Root the phone and freeze or uninstall your unused apps with titanium backup..do a nandroid 1st of course. i also used juice defender plus. my battery life at end of day is at 70% to 75% with 300+ apps.
But than I recently flashed @seanzscreams Skynote 4.3 Note Rom its crazy smooth and battery life is even better.

[Q] Freezing

Is anyone having any issues with their 2013 N7 freezing? I've had it completely freeze up on me once, and several time just today it has had major input lag (like 2-3 seconds later) or would just not accept input. It hasn't been localized to any particular app.
Is this a common problem? Should I just go exchange mine?

Seems like a software issue which can be easily remedied.

When I first got my new Nexus 7 I did notice some "freezes" and unresponsiveness. Touches that would go unrecognized (links in the browser, back button). did a factory reset and watched it in case I decided I needed to exchange it. But it is seemed to improve and I rarely run into the freezing.
I've so far not returned/exchanged it, but an still keeping an eyes on it.

I have most certainly experienced a heavy freeze period while typing on the onscreen keyboard. While typing in all the credentials on first set-up I experienced moments of almost 20 seconds of non-response, followed by all input entering as if it was lagged out network style.
Rooting and flashing a new rom, this has yet to happen. This is why I love Android so much... its community knows that it is Unix and treats it as such.

Yea mines freeze sometimes

yeah sometimes mine locks up for like a good 15 seconds.. hitting the power button doesn't shut the screen off either.. then when it unfreezes, it does everything I did lol like pull down the bar, hit home, and the screen off

Same issue. I think I will factory reset it + install cleanrom with the jassy kernel and see if it helps. If not, I will swap it. I love this thing! Its getting more love than my ipad atm, but I think I can make room for both of them in my already-gadget-overloaded life lol.

I was wondering if its really the kernal that's causing the freezing. My N7 2013 right now freezes after about 15 minutes of turning it on, and the only way to unfreeze is by holding down the power for 10 seconds. My tablet will constantly do this after each turn on, but once I placed it in safe-mode there is no freezing. I am thankful that mine doesn't have the touch screen issue though! but this freezing problem is really driving me bonkers.

I nodded off for a few minutes the other day when I had FBReader up and when I woke up and tried to exit it was non-responsive. I get the impression FBReader forces the screen to stay on, but perhaps everything else goes to sleep anyway? That's the only freeze I can remember seeing.

[Q] very slooow wake up!

I have SM-P605 (LTE version) running on BMJ9 (also tried few others before it) but the only thing I do seem to resolve and iritate me is the amount of time it takes to come whenever I pick it up. It is the same whether I use the home or the power button. I have switched off lock screen effect, I even switched off lock screen all together but the screen still wakes up sometimes after 2-4 seconds of pressing the button. Otherwise, it is not laggy in general.
Any ideas and wise words?
Cheers.

Have you tried disabling the home button from bringing up My Magazine? Either hit the home button from home screen or swipe up to launch My Magazine, then go into settings via the left capacitive button to left of home button and uncheck "open using the home key".

Thanks mate. Done that even disabled the svoice getting launched from the home button. THis behaviour is the same using TW or Apex.

This right here is why I returned it. No matter what I did, even using the Samsung Book Cover, nothing worked.
Drove me crazy til I finally had enough and exchanged it for the iPad Air.
If this issue gets fixed, I'd probably pick it up again.

I'm not a fan of iPad either but I got sick of opening the cover and always saying, "Ok, hold on a minute" when wanting to show it to someone.
You'd think this expensive spec beast would be able to wake up as fast as a dumb tablet with a third of its RAM. IPad is an instant wake.

Do you have power savings mode disabled?
Do you a micro SD card installed? If so, temporarily remove it and see if it makes a difference. Also, note the brand, model and speed class. And, did you format it in the device you're using?
Downgrading to a child's iPad with DRAM limitations and crashes is not an option for a lot of us.

it's a "feature" of the exynos processor. it puts itself into a deep sleep that has a slight delay when waking up. just about every exnyos4 and higher have the "feature".

Ummm...it's not limited to exynos processors my friend. It also happens on the snapdragon variants as well.
Just go in Developer Options and check box the option for "Force GPU Rendering". That did the trick for me so hopefully it'll work for you guys too.

After todays firmware update it starts up a lot faster. Now I think it's acceptable but Samsung can do better. Had the same issue on my "old" Note 2, but after a few firmware updates the problem disapered. I'm hopeful.

Wake up delay

Anyone else experiencing a really long delay when you try to wake your phone up? About 70% of the time when I wake my phone up to just use my phone, it has a bad delay. Most of the time it will take around 7 - 10 seconds for the screen to turn on.
I am stock and un-rooted. I have gone into the stock recovery and cleared the cache partition a couple of times, but that doesn't help. I am really hoping for S-off soon. I'm hoping that a custom rom can fix it.

I'm also experiencing this same problem, drives me insane. I'm hoping that maybe the forthcoming 5.1 update will address that issue.

I've never experienced this. I'm stock still. Kinda sounds like a runway app causing the problem.

Never saw this on launch os or 5.1. Have you tried running it without apps for a while?

Last night I disabled instagram. It seemed to fix the problem so far. I don't use it much anyway. My battery stat still shows it as number 2 on the list. I just uninstalled it. Maybe it will fix some issues.

I have this too...but I'd say only about 30 percent of the time. I use the double tap to wake aout it certainly does not all the time.

Mine does it sometimes. I don't know if it's a delay because I push the power button again and it comes on. Another thing that drives me up the wall is that the screen doesn't wake up after taking the phone away from my ear during a call sometimes. I'll have to push the power button to turn the screen on.
