[Q] Recent app button lag?

Is anyone else getting about 0.5 - 1 second stutter before the recent app menu opens?
When I press the button nothing happens and then I feel a vibrate and the menu opens a second later if the menu has more then 5 apps

More or less, yes.

yeah, I get that.. I think it's a thumbnail caching thing.. if you hit home immediately after and then hit it again, it doesn't appear to lag..
Could be wrong, though.

Yes I get this too. Not a problem in my opinion.

I think it's S Voice. Go into the app and uncheck the below options.
Open via the home key
Wake up command

Power button, not sure.
Home button is defintitely s-voice, which hijacks the home button. It makes a delay so to wait for a double tap. Its very annoying.

I had the same delay and just tried this. It works! No more delay with the power button! Thanks americasteam.

Thanks, it works

Yes thanks americasteam! Only issue so far, everything else is butter.

I deactivated the S Voice option but there is still very noticeable delay when waking the phone with the Home or Power button.
Any suggestions?

Anyone?

There are thousands of threads all over this forum and other forums considering this issue.. This is (by the opinion of the majority) caused by Exynos.. When phone enters deep sleep state it takes while until Exynos wakes all 4 cores or smt like that...

Lose App when screen times out

Anyone else have the issue that when the screen times out and turns off when turning on again the app has disappeared from the screen and has to be accessed again by selecting relevant app.
This is especially annoying when writing an email or text.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I had the same problem, and found that turning the screen back on using the power button on the side left the app you were using still active.

Yes .. It seems like when you press the home button after the screen goes off it not only switches the screen on but also takes you to the home screen. This wasn't the case in my old S2.

This happens if you freezed the S-Voice app! Unfreeze and all will be good

Interesting. Apparently it happens when s-voice activation by home screen is disabled, even if the app is not frozen. I disabled it because it induces a lag to the home button.

ok now you can choose whats more important to you

Thanks for the help on this. I had indeed disabled S-voice but even defrosting it did not solve the problem.
Using the side button instead of the home button does however bring me back to the app i was using. Thanks Silverback!
Update > restarted and now working perfectly after defrosting S-voice. Thanks Again!

Home Button Question

When my screen turns off and I press the home button to wake the screen, any applications or notification popups I had disappears as the home button is being too "aggressive" and immediately takes me to the home screen.
Did I miss a setting somewhere to prevent this?
Thanks.

It seems the only way to prevent this is by enabling Swipe Lock. I guess this is why it's enabled by default?

I'm having the same problem no matter what I do when the screen times out and I press home it takeme back to my home screen. ..Have you found a solution yet?

In S-Voice app, bring up settings, make sure option to "Open via the home key" is checked. This will allow the home button to only wake the device when the screen is off. Unfortunately, this also introduces some lag when pressing the home button, as the software is waiting to see if you register a double click.

I hate that lag, that's why I unchecked it and ran into this Home Button problem.
The lag is pretty bad, like 2-3 seconds. Not practical.

MA7 Issues?

Alright, so I updated to MA7 update, and everytime I'm in the text messaging app, and screen timesout I hit the home button and instead of turning on the screen and showing me my messaging app, it would turn screen on and show my last message and then get me the task manager screen.
Any one else have issues like that, does seem to happen when I'm not in the messaging app.
Ninja edit, ok so now it seems like everytime I use the home button it gives me the task manager ugh.

no issues here running smooth so far

Well did a hard reset it seem to went away.
So before if i let the screen timeout and i press the home button it would turn on the screen and the last viewed window. Now if I let it time out it just goes back to the lock screen, so wondering if this is a setting, or a glitch from before. Kind of nice to now have to swipe to unlock all the time.

Now its back againan this is annoying.

I just updated and I dont seem to have any problems with this rom other than battery so far. Dropped 30% in an hour..

Someone try it see if it does it to you or not, I have my screen set to timeout after 30sec and smart stay and smart rotation is on.
So open like text messages, wait till the screen timesout and immediatly push the home button, this for me bypasses the swipe to unlock screen and brings up the task manager/app switcher. If I wait more than a few seconds and then hit the home button it turns the phone on to the swipe to unlock screen.
If anyone test it that would be cool.

Operates the same as you describe here. . But for all I know it could be that way on every version cause I use the power button to turn the screen back on..

The only issue I have found is with my S-Notes. I had one completely dissappear and a few others somehow became locked and I don't know what the password is so I can't view or delete them.

If I hit the wake button right after it times out it goes straight to the app I was in. I like it. I hate the gallery though, it's laggy and freezes almost immediately.

My thoughts exactly. I might try restoring to my ma5 and trying to redo it from a fresh download and see if that changes anything.
