The last 4 posters missed the point. You guys are replying to a thread a died. The latest post that revived the thread is this:

My SGS2 has a 5-6 seconds delay before waking up from deep sleep. I noticed that after I take the phone away from my ear after a call the screen takes very long to turn back on, as if the proximity sensor is sleeping away.
This is definitely not because of my last firmware update because it simply didn't happen after I installed it. It was just impressively fast. This new behavior started about 3-4 weeks ago, I can't figure out right now whether I installed something that could produce such behavior.

Build number: IML74K.XWLP7
Kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected] #3 (rooted)
Baseband: I9100XXLPS

LE: I have the european version.
I don't know what could be causing this, but maybe someone else will help you or try asking in the International forum section.

My point wasn't replying to that post. My point was responding to the general opinion that the long wake time is necessary for a smartphone to wake from deep sleep, and that if it were any faster, the battery life would suffer. HTC has clearly figured out something that Samsung has not, and it irks me.

Yeah that's what I was saying too. Just pointing out the hardware limitations of the phone.

I may be talking out of turn, but found this thread and thought I'd share. I'm have GS2 which is actually a D710 variant (Sprint... Galaxy Epic 4G Touch, which is a GS2) and have the same issue. Stock ROM, rooted. And this issue was there before root as well.

It drives me rather crazy, and this is the only phone I've ever seen that doesn't come on instantly. I also see this issue while on a call and the proximity sensor wakes the screen when I take it away from my head to use the dial pad.

Good 2 second delay.

Well the good news is he didn't necro a thread from six months ago..... Oh wait...
Next time I'll start a brand new thread so you can complain about people not searching, cool?
What's the point of a discussion forum?

Thought it may be useful information for someone since it is a related problem on different device, hence why I specified...
Sometimes that's how troubleshooting works.

Except you have a different device so that changes just about everything.

I hear ya. Still both sold as "Samsung Galaxy S2" so I'm sure there are similarities - if a VW GTI and a VW Jetta both had starter problems..... ya know?? I'll leave your forum alone! :D
Except this time it's just a name. Samsung decided to make everything different

Don't worry. He'll be back to passive aggressively defend his point, because he believes they ARE similar, which of course isn't true. But logic doesn't seem to matter when you want to believe something strongly enough, or don't want to feel embarrassed.;)
