Hey guys

I updated to the OTA KitKat update, and now have a rather irritating issue that I did not have before. My phone is not rooted, and I'm not using an s-view flip case. I've tried using different lock screens, but it makes no difference.

Since the update, if I press the power button or home button to wake the screen, it sometimes takes 3 - 5 seconds to actually turn on. The strange thing is that if I turn the screen off, then back on within a minute or two, it's as fast as it should be at turning back on. But if the phone sits, untouched, for ten minutes or longer, it takes forever to turn on.

I tried wiping the cache partition, and disabled S voice wake up commands, and double tap to launch S voice.

Any ideas?

Do you have an SD card? That has been known to cause that issue.

I do have one, but it's an old crummy one. Does a bad one cause it? Or a lack of an SD card?

Thanks

Actually having one in your phone has caused that lag before. If you don't have one in your phone then not sure.

I removed the SD card, so far so good. Time will tell if it's really fixed or not. Thanks again!

I have an sdcard in my Note 3 and if anything my phone turns on quicker with NC2 than it did on MJE.

Also remove or freeze S-Voice app(it's mapped to double tap home button)

I disabled double tap home to open S voice. I don't want to completely disable S voice, because in conjunction with S for switch voice, it's a very handy tool!

Since I removed the SD card, it has been performing as it should. Must have been the SD card all along. I feel a bit guilty starting a thread about this, when there is already information out there about SD cards causing lag, but but my problem didn't start until immediately after upgrading from JB to KK, and I've had this phone since launch day. Made me think it was a different issue. One again the awesome community at xda helped me out, and quickly!

Thanks guys!

What I don't understand is why this is just accepted. I have a class 10 card and my only solution to lag is to pull it out?

I'm not complaining because I had a really old, crappy 8gb SD card, and I stored nothing on it. Didn't even need it. I assume an updated sd card wouldn't have this problem, but that's just an assumption on my part.
