I have SM-P605 (LTE version) running on BMJ9 (also tried few others before it) but the only thing I do seem to resolve and iritate me is the amount of time it takes to come whenever I pick it up. It is the same whether I use the home or the power button. I have switched off lock screen effect, I even switched off lock screen all together but the screen still wakes up sometimes after 2-4 seconds of pressing the button. Otherwise, it is not laggy in general.

Any ideas and wise words?

Cheers.

Have you tried disabling the home button from bringing up My Magazine? Either hit the home button from home screen or swipe up to launch My Magazine, then go into settings via the left capacitive button to left of home button and uncheck "open using the home key".

Thanks mate. Done that even disabled the svoice getting launched from the home button. THis behaviour is the same using TW or Apex.

This right here is why I returned it. No matter what I did, even using the Samsung Book Cover, nothing worked.

Drove me crazy til I finally had enough and exchanged it for the iPad Air.

If this issue gets fixed, I'd probably pick it up again.

It is driving me nuts! but it is my dislike of ipad and believe some xda developer (and or samsung) will come up with a solution that is making me keep this otherwise wonderful tablet.

I'm not a fan of iPad either but I got sick of opening the cover and always saying, "Ok, hold on a minute" when wanting to show it to someone.

You'd think this expensive spec beast would be able to wake up as fast as a dumb tablet with a third of its RAM. IPad is an instant wake.

Do you have power savings mode disabled?

Do you a micro SD card installed? If so, temporarily remove it and see if it makes a difference. Also, note the brand, model and speed class. And, did you format it in the device you're using?

Downgrading to a child's iPad with DRAM limitations and crashes is not an option for a lot of us.

it's a "feature" of the exynos processor. it puts itself into a deep sleep that has a slight delay when waking up. just about every exnyos4 and higher have the "feature".

Ummm...it's not limited to exynos processors my friend. It also happens on the snapdragon variants as well.

Just go in Developer Options and check box the option for "Force GPU Rendering". That did the trick for me so hopefully it'll work for you guys too.

No change so far but will monitor it.

Better...

After todays firmware update it starts up a lot faster. Now I think it's acceptable but Samsung can do better. Had the same issue on my "old" Note 2, but after a few firmware updates the problem disapered. I'm hopeful.

??? 2 seconds ....???
Anyway when I open my Smart Cover it is on not even a One Second .... lag, like that is a big deal.

In my case from sleep it can easily take 5-6 sec ( though trust me it feels like ages) and compared to my old transformer prime it's downright embarrassing!!
