I have an Epic 4G Touch, hence this question being in the Epic 4G Touch forum.
When I press the power button to turn on the display, it takes the phone anywhere between 1-3 seconds for the screen to turn on. The same thing happens when I'm on a phone call and the screen is off because of the proximity sensor. When I move the phone away from my head (say to use the dial pad), it again takes the screen 1-3 seconds before it turns on.
This seems like it's a bit longer than what it should be. What can I do to improve the situation?
I don't use any task killer apps (because they're bad for your OS), and I don't really have much running in the background. I use Minimalistic Text widgets and Llama, but I think that's all I've downloaded that runs in the background.
Thanks in advance for your replies

do a search on here its been discussed a few times already
it's because of the SD Card. It's a known issue. Some people don't mind, some people do. I'm the latter, it's annoyingly laggy.

Tried searching. I saw the topic for some other phones, but I figured this might be phone specific. If you're aware of a relevant thread maybe you could point me to it?

So you're saying without the SD card that doesn't happen? Got any sources or further reading? Sounds like a huge bummer if this is the case...

Try GoSms with GoLocker I put both of them on my phone after I formatted my sdcard and moved my lockscreen background pic to my internal sd and it cut down on the lag

I use a pattern lock screen. Does GoLocker work with that?
Also, I read through those other threads you mentioned and people claimed that a class 10 micro SD card helped a lot with the lag, so I ordered a PNY class 10 off of Amazon.
I'll post results here when I get it.
Hey Guy. Literally the thread right below you with 111 responses on the same exact subject answering all your questions. Do a thread search next time!

Yeah the only reason it's right below this one is because I posted in it after it was already recommended to me in this thread.
But thanks anyway.

Thank you smitty. You da man!!!!

This rom has come a long way from last week. I used to not could do anything with it but now it is really coming along. Now if we just get the camera working it will be awesome!
Is it just me or does the gyroscope not work? I have the setting enabled to rotate the screen but my screen doesn't rotate. I'm on an Inspire 4G.
I am also loving some of the little improvements from Google here (automatically signing into google sites with the default browser, ignoring wifi networks that don't have a strong signal)

Try reflashing gapps for the market closing.
As for the screenshot feature, I'm sure there's much higher priority items to get working before screenshots It'll come once stability is ironed out, if at all. Keep in mind, adding the screenshot to the power menu was a CM7 thing, so it may not even come to ICS. Who knows.

Market closing for some was remedied after a reboot. The gapps in the first post of the dev thread 'were' don't know if they still are useless. A lot of apps missing!
Screenshot feature will likely be implemented after most hardware is working. I have a feeling that it could be related to camera, not sure why, but it would make sense to link those 2 features if I were Google.
Camera I have a feeling is gonna be a real *****. Accelerometer is way more important than camera anyway.
I noticed, I think Alienmind, reporting notification LED doesn't work in the other thread. Works for me on DHD using the build that LordClockan uploaded late last night.
Looking forward to the future of this ROM.
Peace

Wow. I would suggest if you have issues with any of our posts, quit making a wasteful post yourself and contact a Moderator. Don't think you will win but feel free to give it a shot. Oh and since you've decided to set the bar here for quality of posts we will be watching to see if you follow what you insist on others.

Not really familiar with this stuff, All i know is in ICS to take a screenshot you press and hold power and volume + or -, and it doesn't do anything.

thanks for the tip just tried it but it didn't work =(
For the past few days, every time I hit the "Submit..." button, I get a message across the top telling me I have to wait 20 seconds before I can post again. It's almost as if my click is being interpreted as "submit, reload-this-same-page, submit again".
My browser is Chrome and is up-to-date as of this posting. I'm on OS X 10.9 at the moment. I can't recall if this occurs on our Win7 machine...
Anyone seeing this behavior ?

Yes , I can confirm the bug. You may also be facing a bug as mentioned here... it has been occuring for quite sometime now.. a few had also mentioned it to the moderators and admins in this thread. I think the moderators and admins are working on this issue to get it sorted. Only a matter of time before it gets fixed. Cheers. !
Glad I'm not the only one. I did browse this sub-forum for something similar in the topic (I did NOT search since the right terms to look for are tricky and I couldn't remember the exact message). I would have NEVER presumed the first thread you linked to was related.
It just did it to me again (it's not consistent, as I'm seeing) and here's the exact wording:
The following errors occurred with your submission:
This forum requires that you wait 20 seconds between posts. Please try again in 19 seconds.

Any update on this issue? I always use Chrome and this problem happens more often then not when replying.
Terribly annoying.
Wouldn't be surprised if Adblock is the cause, it can do odd things on occasion.
i always get this when posting it seems - but only here. on the odd occasion i dont see that message but 99 times out of a 100 it seems i do
Yeap, I only see it here and I post at a number of vBulletin sites
I am still experiencing this issue on Chrome. Windows 8.1 with Adblock.
Yeap, still happening here. Some days it happens every time I post, other times I can go a few days without seeing it.
I'm not sure if the XDA folks really care though...

The admins (@bitpushr) can't reproduce it, but the more info you provide (browser, addons you're using, etc,) the better.
-----EDIT-----
Figured it out, and updating the first post to help other out.
Seems I have found an answer from the s5... Long pressing the app switch butting gets you the menu in any app.
----Original Post----
So, after only a few hours of use i have found a very big issue.
No menu button means some apps are useless.
I cant even reply to topics from the XDA app, and cant change setting from others apps expecting to have a menu button on the phone. What was Samsung thinking?
I may need to return this phone if i cant find a solution. Anyone have any ideas?

The one to the left of the home button.
I don' mean no harm, but there's absolutely NO excuse for a Note 4 owner and someone who went out of their way to become an XDA member, to be so ignorant when it comes to something this simple. I don't even have my Note 4, yet, and I could school you up and down on it. There's dozens of videos online at your disposal, to tell you what features are found on your phone. Just looking at any one of them ... and as already mentioned ... you would have found out that long-pressing the recent apps button activates the menu. It's really quite simple.
Or tap the 3 dots at top right ...
You just saved me lot of pain thank you I was beyond frustrated

If you long hold the app switching button, you get the menu. Take a little getting used to.

There are a lot of people who are coming from a device that did not have the recent apps button and is not aware that you can long press it to get the menu button...especially on a device that has only been out for a day or so.

Just ignore him man, not even worth feeding his immaturity.
Anyways, Thanks for the tip about the xda app as well.
Hope this thread helps others that are having that WTF moment when they first get the phone... You know, i cant remember but i don't think that first pop up tip says anything about long pressing for a menu. I could be wrong and have just hit ok after reading the title.
Don't sweat the little stuff... I asked a while ago about getting air command to pop up. Once you are used to a device that is very, very close to the device you just bought... well, you may not realize the little changes. In my case the older Note I had you held the button on the s-pen while hovering to bring up the air command menu. On the Note 4 all you have to do is hover then click (not hold). Stumped me for over an hour.. until I posted and asked.
Coming from an iPhone forces people to do more reading and learn everything.
My home button would not take me home. After wiping my phone completely I still has the issue. So I did more searching and @The Flash had the solution over on substratum thread. All credit to him so don't hit thanks here hit him up with them as he is where I got the answer from. Has something to do with when system UI restarts in substratum.. They're working on a fix..
Solution: Hit recent button then home button will work as it's supposed to. Hope this helps anyone with the issue. It mind boggled me for like a week. :cyclops: Thanks Nathan!! :good:
For some reason my XDA app crashes every time I try and share where he posted solution. I'll link it in a few but for now he's on page 116 at bottom from XDA app so show some love if you've had this issue..
