this is a request for anyone that has the newer 2.2 beta, that seems to not have any lag in the lockscreen wake up. can you PLEASE point the good people on this forum, that are working on the existing released beta, to howto fix this issue, maybe by pointing of the differences between those 2 versions (lockscreen lag only)
THANK YOU
i dont think the problem is the lockscreen. I think the problem is the screen is unresponsive after it wakes up.. For instance, if im using the phone and put it to my ear, the screen goes off. Now if i have to punch in some numbers or even just put it on speakerphone or something, There is a few second delay from when i take it off my ear to when i can actually press the button. so i think it has something to do with the screen off as opposed to the lock screen.
ok, thanks for pointing this too.
I'm surprised not as many people are bothered by this, and yes it is from the screen turning off and not the lock screen in particular.
It is insanity when calling someone and reaching their voicemail. Then pressing the end call button as rapidly as possible before you hear the fateful *beep*. Only to be that guy that leaves a .02 second long message of dead air.

Yah i agree. I'm surprised this doesn't bother more people.. I hear people saying there's is running flawlessly. And although it runs very well for a beta, the screen issue is a deal breaker for me. I really want to use froyo.

Does any of your phones wake on pushing the camera button? (on froyo) I haven't seen it mentioned, but mine does.
Myne wakes with the camera button and if you leave the keyboard open and it locks thekeyboard flashes

+1. Causes my battery to drain much quicker than 2.1. I carry my phone sideways in a leather case (the wife calls it a suitcase LOL)

I dont have a NS yet...I have been reading the boards and trying to decide if I want one but I have a Fascinate and since its been rooted and debinged its a good phone but stock it was crap. I use something called BLN to notify me when I have a text or email. It lights up your buttons at the bottom. Its in the market but I think your rom has to be made to use it..I'm not sure about that but you might want to investigate that...it works better than NoLED.
I have no led running now. It works. I have it set to blink So it flashes the TV off animation which is cool.
Honestly. If You already have a galaxy s phone don't bother with the ns. I had my n1 since the day it came out I needed a new phone. There are many things ivwill miss about it. Like the desktop doc.....
More threads about this? Really? Can we have a mod lock this please...

Thats kinda what I been thinking...
Best buy couldn't get my upgrade info so I paid full pop. Was on phone with t mobile and bestbuys system couldn't get it happening so I can still get another phone suplimented. Tried a mytouch 4g but returned it. So much t-mobile garbage on it plus gotta pay for wifi teather
BLN ftw, wait for a kernel that implements BackLightNotifications and then download Blinky which makes your softkey's blink ever few seconds when you get notifications.
So awesome. 3 out of 4 calls ended with the phone restarting
Sounds you guys are having even more trouble than Galaxy S phones, I hope it gets sorted out soon.
I can deal with a dropped call but having the phone restart wtf.... I may un install everything and go from there adding one app at a time
When the phone is off if you click the power button it will show you if you phone is still charging or not

Left hole (circle) is the proximity sensor. Right hole (oval kinda) is the ambient light sensor. Hope this helps.
Does this phone even have a led notification light? thats the dots next to the earpiece right?
I ask because on my phone, i never get any LED flashing notifications when i receive a text, email, miss phone call, or etc.
Ive searched all throughout my settings but to no avail.. help?
Thats not an LED. It doesnt have one! Search. Its been discussed over and over again
I have had my xoom for about 6 months now and this problem has been with it since i got it...
Sometimes when i push the power button on the back to wake it up and start touching the screen it doesn't respond or barely responds, i have made sure my thumb is not touching the edge or anything... to make it work i have to hit the power button to make it sleep and hit it again to wake it up and it will work fine.
This problem is pre and post ics.
I'm not really sure what to do or if it is even software or hardware.
do any of you guys know what is causing this?

yes i saw this thread in my research but my concern is why would it work after i put it to sleep and wake it back up upon unresponsiveness?
If this was the case wouldn't putting it to sleep and waking it back up be useless, and i dont want to do anything that will void my warranty.

Sometimes when it is busy redrawing a screen (intensive) it is temporarily unresponsive until it's done. How long is it unresponsive to touch? If it will not respond for more than 30 seconds (I just pulled that out of my head, btw) I would think there's another issue.
It does it until i put it to sleep and wake it back up

Reading this over again, I'll bet it's a hardware issue, because 1) it's been a problem since day one, and 2) you've obviously updated your software, so any glitch caused by a bad install or an app incompatibility can probably be ruled out. Are you still under warranty? this sounds like something that could be/should be fixed.

Yeah i was just really hoping i wouldnt have to send it in under warranty because i know they will just send me a new refurb and be done with it ... then i will have to get a new screen protector and recustomize and be without a xoom for a couple of weeks

My Xoom did things like this, yet my foam fix made it end completely. Left the foam in there until I sent it in for the 4G upgrade.
I also had a problem with my XOOM screen. It was a headache for me and found a solutions today.
You should check MOTOASK (under XOOM). It was a new post and really helpful.
Hi guys,
I have no idea why during calls sometimes the touchscreen activates itself which results in pressing mute or hold by accident... this is really annoying, i have to keep the phone far from my ear to avoid this. Anyone knows how to stop this?
Thanks!
My Wife has the same problem... Anyone have any idea? or how to just kill the mute and hold buttons in the dialer or render them inoperable?
Solution: I used Cheekey Hang Up Gard. This is free and works fine for me. It locks the screen during a call unless you press the back-button.
The problem with hitting keys by mistake happens to all the people who do not press the phone so close to the ear. In this case screen might activate so that you can hit some button with your ear.
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! That is EXACTLY the type of solution I was looking for, both elegant, simple, AND free. I searched for a solution before posting, but apparently my android and google-fu is not as advanced as yours. I bow before a greater power (bow).
Thank you!
Thanks works like a charm

Do alternative markets like 1mobile work there? There is a program called "Don't Hang Up" (which I didn't try). But I attached Cheeky Hang Up Guard here.

Oh... I fear there won't be any software solution for that problem... If you are fast enough you could try cleaning it with distilled water and only use the phone again when it is 100% dried. However water might also come to some places where it is hard to get it gone again.

well it worked partially for a while... pity it was a nice phone!
The problem happens when you tilt the phone past a certain degree. I think it may be the flip for speaker mode. I'm going to shut it off and see if it happens anymore.
any way to change the calling screen guys??
Who was the wise guy who thought that the notification tray didn't need to be locked with the rest of the screen?
After the ICS update, it seems that my notification tray is sometimes open when I pull the phone out of my pants' pocket. Since this isn't just a notification tray anymore and one can actually do sensitive actions over there, not to mention accidentally closing important notifications, I would say this is a very bad idea. I couldn't find any option to turn this "feature" off.

Well you should not have upgrades to ICS then or done the proper research into what was in ICS cause that is part of the 4.0 Android OS now. Me personally I love it.
So, you are saying there is no way to turn this off? It seems very strange to not have an option for this..

If you enable a screen lock then it will disable that function. Otherwise, it's actually a nice feature to have IMO.

OK, so I set up a pattern now and the issue is solved. But now I have 2 lockscreens instead of 1 :-( . Wasn't there supposed to be an option to unlock the screen straight to desktop (pattern in my case)?

Nope. You don't have two lockscreens, you have a lockscreen and a security screen. It's performing normally.
I know there is nothing actually wrong with this, but it just makes the phone harder to use. I mean slower to make a quick phone call, or quickly open an IM app and reply.
usually..
usually you can disable it, if you have the development function on your htc settings for ics, usually there is a function in the lockscreen part where it asks you to keep taskbar on top or untouchable after lockscreen is on.. try to look on accessibility and security or else download 'rom toolbox' and there should be a function where it allows u to enable or disable this function

Um... besides, you can't "do" anything with it unless you touch the screen. Are you touching the screen while the phone is in your pocket?

I keep my phone with the screen facing my leg and when there's moisture in my pocket, like in the summer for instance, I'm pretty sure things are happening that aren't supposed to happen
Also, the power button is somehow positioned that sitting down in the car for example accidentally pushes on it.
You could argue that only tight pants cause this issue, but c'moon
I've had several occasions where I would take out the phone from my pocket and find some app being open and doing stuff...

Buy an Incipio NGP case, which has a reinforced power button cover.
Never again will you have accidental power-button presses.
It's silly that you want to get rid of such a great feature. My phone always faces my leg in my pocket, and in the 10 months that I've owned my phone, I have NEVER pulled my phone out with the phone unlocked by my pocket.
Thinking more and more about it, it does seem to be a nice feature. I might give it a second chance, despite that only having it for 1 day and already found it open by mistake....

I've thought about that but the shape doesn't help at all... Also, the power button would be even more prone to accidental press.
