After your screen has been off a min ir so, and you press the home button or side button to wake it up, does it take a second for the screen to come on, or is it instant? Mine takes about a second..
Mine is right about exactly a second. Noticeable delay describes it well. I was just more used to an 'instand on' so I noticed it. Guess it has something to do with the processor in the phone. Thanks for the reply.
Same here. Weird. After the phone has set for over 10 seconds or so it takes about 1second to turn on.i am just trying to figure out if its normal or not. Already had to return my first one for a dead spot on the touch screen. If this one needs to go back, i'm coming home with something else.
i get about a 1 second lag. it'll be great if someone finds a way to make it instant
What I am concerned with is if they are all like this or there is something wrong with mine. Seems it is normal for the device. My friend also got one so I will see how his is later on. I can live with it if it is normal.
Found some info from the guys at xda. Looks like the processor takes about 800ms to wake from a deep sleep. They said if it does not lag, it was not in a deep sleep ie. It was plugged in or you had an app running keeping the phkne ffrom deep sleeping.
Apparently just how the processor works. And it does not look like there will be a fix for it. Like I said, I can live with it as long as it is all of the phones, not just mine.
For anyone having the lag delay, did you disable S-Voice from using the center button yet?
Once you do that you'll notice a very slight increase.
The center button is set to double tap and launch S-Voice.
The delay when you tap the center button ONE time is due to it waiting for the SECOND tap.
Disable S-Voice from using that button.

While I didn't mind having the double-tap function for S-Voice activation, I really do prefer a faster response on the Home Button. I also prefer using Google Now over S-Voice, so I've just created that shortcut on my NOVA scrolling dock on all of the 5 docks I have set up. Works perfectly for my needs.

I don't know if I can really call this an issue, but it's something that I've noticed and a little annoying on my Sprint Note 2.
This would only apply for those of you that power down and swap batteries (rather than charging the phone via microUSB).
I noticed that every time I go through my routine of swapping batteries, certain Calendar settings don't seem to stick.
1) Notification chosen for Samsung Calendar (aka S Planner) reverts back to the default sound
2) Notification pop-up that wakes up the phone (for events sync'd) from Samsung Calendar gets enabled, when I typically have that disabled.
3) Notifications for Google Calendar gets enabled, when I typically have it disabled.
I don't mind going in and changing these back every time I change batteries, but obviously I'd prefer not having to do that.
As far as the stock browser showing websites incorrectly, what worked for me on my Infinity was click on "Request Desktop" and then refreshed the page. Now the page displays normally.
Other browsers that are out already display pages normally, so this part really isn't a big issue.
I think I solved my browser formating problem. While in the browser I chose 'Settings', then 'Accessibility'. I set the 'Scale text up and down' sliding scale to 104%. That did it.
When I first bought the phone I had set it to a higher % because my eyes are 67 years old. Thank the gods for the zoom feature.
So I have an idea for a thread that I think would be pretty useful. If you've had an issue with the Galaxy Note II that you've solved, or even been unable to solve, post about it here, and I'll compile a list of solutions in this main thread.
Solved
Only keyboards are English, Spanish, and Korean
Problem: I would like a keyboard with *insert language here* but the only languages available out of the box are English, Spanish, and Korean.
Solution: The stock keyboard only has English, Spanish, and Korean downloaded, but you can actually go into Settings>Language and input>Samsung keyboard's cog and download additional languages for both standard input and handwriting. Quite a few languages are available, so if you speak another language besides English, Spanish, or Korean, check it out.
Somewhat solved
Folders in App Drawer won't sort correctly for Alphabetical grid
Problem: If you press the menu key while in the App Drawer, you can change the view type to "Customizable grid", "Alphabetical grid", and "Alphabetical list". Customizable grid and Alphabetical list both work fine, but Alphabetical grid has issues. If there are Apps inside of folders, they will not sort alphabetically, and if you delete an app, there will be a gap when that app used to be.
Partial solution: You can use AppZorter to rearrange your apps how you'd like them quickly, but there's a downside, in that you have to run it periodically, it won't just automatically keep your apps sorted.
Problem: By default, there are 5 shortcuts in the Notification Bar, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync, and Screen rotation. The only ones of those I'll ever use are Wi-Fi and Screen rotation. I'd like a way to be able to replace the other 3 with more useful shortcuts.
Standard vibrations for notifications are really long
Problem: I'd like the vibration that happens when I get a text, facebook popup, etc. to be shorter. You can change the vibration pattern for your ringtone in the settings, but that doesn't change the notifications vibration.
Stock browser loads websites incorrectly
Problem: Websites are not always the correct size when loaded on the stock browser, requiring them to be manually resized.

Anybody had the phone go into a random soft reset using multi-tasking window? It doesn't bother me, but wondering if it's a common issue that anybody else has experienced. It's the only time my phone has ever randomly rebooted.
Announced at IFA 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 follows its predecessor with a focus on creativity. The device improves the experience by adding more S-Pen functionality and new-generation specs, not to mention the slightly larger 5.5-inch display... Read More

How long to turn on screen from sleep?
