I searched the forums and couldn't find anything regarding this issue with sgs4g...
I have have tried several ROMs (stock GB, ICBINB kj1, Valhalla, Octane), and all seem to be laggy in terms of the screen actually turning on when the power button is pressed. I don't know if this is an issue with customs ROMs or if it's the phone itself (though I don't think it was as bad with stock KD1). It only takes about a second or two for the lock screen to appear, but most other phones i've seen are pretty much instant. Any thoughts on speeding up the responsiveness of lock screen appearing? I wasn't sure if v6supercharger works for GB roms so I haven't tried that. It's just annoying having to wait to check the time. Thanks for any help! And I am VERY new at all this so please be detailed if you have a solution
Currently I am running
Valhalla 1.3.2 (GB KI3)
Drhonks KI3 kernel
Adrenaline shot vXIX
Are you using set CPU or some other program that can set custom battery levels? If you have your phone set to throttle down to less than 400mhz when the screen is off then it will lag when you wake it up.

Nope. No special settings to adjust CPU Does anyone have a sgs4g that wake up quickly? If so what ROM or settings?
Interesting, I have the same issue. Figured it was just me. Seems sometimes I have to hiy the button a few times before it will come on.

I think that happens to everyone.
Samsung just makes their buttons differently, you actually need to hold them down rather than bump them unlike most phones.
GB is still not official, but I think that it may be because of the CRT on animation.
Yea, it very well could be the CRT animations. Though even when I first got the phone it wasn't super fast in waking up. Oh well, guess its just a Samsung thing, thanks for all the tips and thoughts! On the bright side, I ran v6supercharger on my phone in an attempt to fix it... It didn't fix this issue but the phone is almost twice as fast lol. If anyone still has a fix for the screen-on lag lemme know, otherwise thanks everyone!
I just assumed I had been to punishing on the power button when I thought I had bricked my phone that now it responds slower lol. But I have noticed the same issue that some times I must press it twice to get it to wake. Glad to know it maybe an engineering issue with the actual button rather than a side effect of wear and tear. Would like this phone to last another year at least.
I am on black ice stable, and this doesn't seem to happen to me. I remember it happening to me a lot on gingerbread roms though. I suggest to get rid of any task killers, the apps have to stay in memory if you want them to load up quick.
I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2 and my phone wakes up instantly. The only time I have ever had any lag was when using setcpu to force the clock speed down when the screen was off. It was annoying as hell, so I dumped it.
To define what I consider no lag.
Hit power, screen comes on immediately, swipe miui lockscreen, there is the desktop.
My phone does it faster than I can read the sentence.
Valhalla 1.3.2

Note: I only recently add the V6 Supercharger and it made no difference to wake up time for me.

Thanks for letting me know that it is possible. I run the exact setting as you, except kernel KI3. I'll try flashing KJ1 and see if it helps. Otherwise I'm stumped. Thanks!

Anyone having issues with their Thunderbolt shutting off and the only way to turn it back on is to do a battery pull? I'm rooted running Ginger3DTh3ory 6.2, but it did this also when I was running Bamf 3.0. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
No idea, are you oc'd?

Let me describe what mine has done a few times and you tell me if that's what you're talking about. Twice, in the last 2 days, it's just locked up with the screen off. It doesn't respond to power or volume buttons. Only way to get it to work again it to pull that battery.
BUT... the weirdest thing happened the last time. It did it while I was in a call. I could answer with my bluetooth, talk, and hang up with my bluetooth, but the phone wouldn't respond to anything I did to it.
Is this what you're talking about?
Sound like SOD = Sleep of Death. It doesn't happen to much but a pain in the rear...switch Ur govenor from interativex to ondamandx see if that fixes it

I've had this problem quite a bit lately with the same roms. I switched to Gingeritis3D beta 6 and the problem seems to have gone away. Gingeritis and some other roms are starting to claim they are using an official build of GB and not the alpha leak version. That could be the issue.

the official build's kernel is a piece of crap that is leading to a whole new batch of reboots.
OP, that is usually an issue where your phone is not getting enough voltage. I would do what the other poster suggested and switch your governor. It will give the phone a little more juice so it doesn't do that.
All phones are different when it comes to that stuff.
Thanks forvthe responses. I'm not OC'd and I'm not sure where in this rom I can change my governor. Its only happened once with those rom so far, hoping its just a fluke.
Mines running fine. Maybe try reflashing?

you have to open terminal emulator (I think its preinstalled on gingertheory, if not there is a free one in the market).
type su (hit enter), it might drop your keyboard, pressing menu will let you reopen it.
type speedtweak.sh
This will open script fusion, there you can change the governor to ondemandx.
Whenever I have the lock screen disabled and reboot phone I get a systemUI fc every time and also half the time I attempt to boot into recovery through the reboot menu the phone just locks up fresh wipe and cleaned the cache or whatever is this a common issue in 1.7?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
The rebooting issue is common with trinity kernel which is the one used with PB I think. So you can flash a different kernel if you'd like , I suggest faux's as it's on par with trinity in my opinion. Or you can just power off the phone instead of rebooting
I'm not familiar with the lock screen issue though as I like having a lock screen
I might as well use faux then, I don't really tweak anything on my phone and have been using faux v48 or something since I read it would improve my battery life but I've seen no evidence of it but if it's going to fix the freezing issue might as well stick with it. I use executive assistant app since I can instantly read and respond to my emails, missed calls, and texts from its own lock screen
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
Have you tried using a different rom, not trying to diss PB here or anything, I personally love it and have used it for a long time, I switched to singh-ui because I needed better battery life, even though I'm not a big fan of miui just because it's kinda iphoneish and I hate iPhones with a passion, anyways battery life is amazing using the stock kernel it comes with and its very smooth as well
If you do choose to try Singh-UI use the stable version
I'm just curious because I get a lot of mixed answers, some users claimed they never had a problem and their sidekick 4G runs smoothly while others say their phone freezes and reboots way too often. Some have also said installing custom rom has fixed their phone.
I have my sidekick since last may it does not freeze nor reboot constantly the most that ever really happen was that the screen got mosit so it stop working. I have had no more then 10 battery pulls were the phone froze. Generally I pull the battery when I need to turn it off quick. (Used gingerclone,lighting rev2,glorious overdose,

this question may perhaps be a bit tricky. some users, like myself, may have installed a custom rom, but that alone may not have fixed the lag. i installed b2tb, but still had a lag, and quadnrant score was the same before and after the flash. before b2tb, i was on stock firmware, and my quadrant score was in the 9s. after flashing, still in the 9s. screen lag was the same. a combination of voodoo lagfix and v6 supercharger have improved my quadrant scores to anywhere in the 11s or 12s. extremely little to no screen lag and no other noticeable performance lag at all. but simply flashing a custom rom did not fix my lag.
Try GenericGinger 2.0, I use it. I've never had my phone freeze, EVER. The speed is good, battery life great. Quadrant Standard score 1700+ google search it. I'm sure it won't be a waste of time

I have been using this phone for a month, and it seems everything runs smoothly. just the battery life, like other smart phones, is disappointing.
Way too often for me, I'm not gonna lie and say it never did, evn though I love this phone to death. Too bad the only beastly phone out there with a keyboard close to the sk's is on verizon.
Then again, I'm not sure what I do that makes it freeze a lot.

Have had my phone reboot due to running completely out of memory some cases an others just wtf why you reboot momments. Worst issue i had was dealing with a possible issue in the built in kernal drivers for the bluetooth talking with my kia souls bluetooth stereo cause it seamed now an then at work (pizza delivery) the phone wouldn't disconnect correctly an would cause other issues, like...... overheating x.X an it wasn't the battery cause the face of the phone was hotter then the back where the battery was an by hot i mean like almost hot enough to cause a burn x.x! Love the sidekick an if the devs can make a rom that patches every single issue the factory firmware has in it I'll very likely go back to it, but at this time I'm happy with my edge speed on my captivate (daily driver) an X10 mini pro (amazing backup phone that never fails )
Completly forgot sbout this one weird issus. One day, I magically lost root, had bto reflash to get it back, I have no idea how it could've happened because I wasn't messing aroun with anything.

I had to disable the trackpad today because in sunlight it would go hay wire and I wasn't able to browse online
is that what it is when i feel my screen going haywire? i'll be trying to text someone and then it keeps scrolling up the conversation and then trying to do a search throughout that convo...jeez i thought it was just a nasty bug haha i'll have to disable it then, i dont use it anyways...wish they would have brought back the trackball from the SKIII....now THAT trackball was cool.
I disabled it and now im not having issues with it. I get this annoying browser lag tho and I need to stop that. I am looking to get a different phone now. Im sure someone who is a heavy texter would love to have this phone...

4th option - Factory Reset, Rooted, added App Killer and uninstalled most of the Bloatware (Like DriveSource)
works much better now, even with the Stock ROM.

Push PowerButton and Volume button [+ or -] at the same time for 10 seconds. This is a little faster & easier than a battery pull.
For a while I was using Ice Cream Sandwich v2.0 Domination with the ICS launcher removed and ADW launcher in its place. Everything was fine except for the Gallery. It would take forever to load picture, and occasionally, it would reboot my device if it took too long. I just switched to GenericGinger 2.0, and I've had no problems with crashes or reboots.
I'm running Gingerclone w/ Voodoo Lag Fix and V6 Supercharger Aggressive 2. Using Tegrak to OC up to 1.152 and I'm consistently pulling quadrant scores of 2200+.
On the stock ROM the phone froze and rebooted frequently. On GingerClone I haven't had it crash once yet.
***
Oh and I forgot to mention some things. First in Tegrak I set the CPU low limit to 200mhz and the governor to performance. Makes a HUGE difference in quadrant score and minimal effect on battery life.
Kj2 deodexed and rooted.
Stock browser, Gallery, and recently, Defender 2 cause it to lock up.
Stock browser and Gallery lock up less than on kg2 deodexed/rooted, but still do.
Gallery only on loading, and browser on scrolling.
I had that issue allot then I make it an effort to wipe the cache in recovery once per week, fixes its wagon for me. I also a running back to basics and dealing with the touchwiz launcher. Sacrificing looks in the name of this thing working properly is the name of the game.

Just wipe cache, or wipe cache and dalvik cache?
I discovered that if I adjust my screen sensitivity under clockwork mod recovery from "default" to "sensitive2" it will cause my captivate to seriously lag. It makes almost everything go hay wire. This is just a resource for anybody else who might have stumbled onto a lagging problem.
I am using the corn 7.06 kernel(thanks mtcarey) and the legend 3.7 ICS ROM(thanks crt60), I have my governor as smartassv2 and my I/O scheduler as SIO. My LMK is at 70mb, instead of 48 default (this will probably change depending on stability).
My captivate has run smoother than it ever has on these settings, with lots of the bloat removed as well.
Can anybody else confirm this?
Corn 7.06 has CWM v5.1.0.7
Yes, I don't think it's lag, but rather that the sensitivity is just messed up. I would check the corn thread, as others may have had this reported.

Are you interested in going into clockwork mod to try and see if you can re create the issue? I'm curious to know if it's just my phone + tweaks/setup...
I can agree, at the moment I want a stable phone, I use my phone too often for school and stuff to be worrying about errors, besides finals week is next week for me so i need less distractions... I'll wait till I see a smaller bug's list on the ICS rom threads. I want to try it out, but i'm gonna wait.
I don't seem to be getting any lag after setting that tweak. I also have my LMK set at 78, but my governor is set to ondemandb because I found that smartassv2 would be slow to wake up from sleep and ramp up the processor.
Hmmm.. That's interesting.. I wonder what was causing my issue then. I'll try some of the other sensitivity settings later today when i have more free time.
I also tried changing the init.rc tweaks to the system corps tweaks and i got a similar lag which was immediately fixed by switching to no tweaks... I wonder what I'm missing here... If i don't have, any of these tweaks on my captivate is super smooth
Thanks for all your help!
At the moment i seem to be good at finding problems... As time goes i should get better at fixing them on my own and then i wont post silly questions.
Again thanks.

I think those tweaks in tandem with screen sensitivity may be doing something. I had maladroit.tweaks on when this happened
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
I wasn't using both at the same time, i used them separately. I'm just going leave it be for awhile i think. I'm so happy that it's running so smooth compared to before it was rooted and de bloated.
I'm probably just gonna wait till ice cream sandwich is more stable, or i have a new phone, then I'll mess with that.
Maybe I'll just wait till the galaxy S III. Anybody else excited for the possibilities of this new phone coming up? I guess that would be something for the questions forum though.
If you've got the time, can anybody give a brief description of what these init.rc tweaks are supposed to do as a whole? I read the system changes of each in cwm, but I'm not sure exactly what they do. It's fine if you don't answer, i know it would be a long post, i just wasn't able to find an explanation. I'll thank you if you do give a good explanation though.

I'm pretty stock, i'm on RFS, legend 3.7, corn 7.06, the only tweaks I've kept were the LMK and changing the I/O scheduler and governor.
Thanks again for all your input, i'll hit the thanks button for you guys. You're great for helping a beginner learn for the first time.
I have Thunderbolt tweaks in my ICS ROM. Not sure if they help. AOKP and kernel developers added their own support of these tweaks thru ROMControl, NSTools and Semaphore app. SQLite rebuilder is nice I guess. Zipalign is useless - all apps already zipaligned.

Question 1 I can help with. First off, before you UV (if you've never done so before), Google "undervolting android" and read at least one or two of the guides that come up. They'll tell you exactly what to do and how to safely do it, and many will even suggest an app for doing so. Personally, I prefer System Tuner to any of the others that come up.
A word of warning with undervolting: if you go too low, you can create all kinds of problems with your ROM, severely drain your battery and potentially even cause permanent damage to your phone. If you've never done it before and don't have a complete understanding of what you're doing, read up first and save yourself trouble later.
Question 2, unfortunately, I can't do much with. Almost seems like your back button might be registering multiple taps. Try it with another app and see what happens. If it's not an issue there but it persists with XDA, well, the great thing about apps is that you can always reinstall them.
Thanks for the assist bro. I've read up on uv'ing. Seen some graphs but each phone is a little different and don't wanna FUBAR it. I've reinstalled the app 3 times and its the only one to do it. Oh well. Thanks again!

System Tuner. FYI it tends to cause some instability on current Jellybean ROMs. I'd recommend UV to -25mv or -37.5mv or maybe -50mv (at each frequency), save the voltage table, and only use the UV setting when you really want the additional battery life.
