I actually am using Linear, which has invisible sliders. So if it lags, it's impossible to know.
) in the meantime, the screen times out. When I go to turn on the screen and unlock it, there is a terrible lag. As long as 5 seconds occasionally. But I think thats because it goes right back into the game, not to the homescreen.I actually am using Linear, which has invisible sliders. So if it lags, it's impossible to know.
Not necessarily true. The lag the OP mentions can also slow down the actual "unlocking" to the homescreen.
@ the OP.....do you have any programs/apps running at the time you try to unlock?
Example, there is a game I play online on my phone. Some times I have to put my phone down for a minute (agony, I know
Does this happen ALL the time? Or just time to time?

No programs are typically running other than standard background services, such as yahoo, facebook, one ongoing app i use called sysmonitor, and watchdog lite. I think it's safe to say 9 times out to 10 it lags when I unlock. However, If I press the power button from the screen being off, (screen lights up) and I wait about 5 seconds before I swipe to unlock, it will not typically lag at all. Almost like the processor has to wake up and realize I need to unlock it. I do understand the game concept or if I were to have several intensive browser tabs running while unlocking after a timeout...But my wifes LG Ally, which runs on a much slower processor as well as RAM, absolutely never lags, never! And it is running the stock ROM, unrooted. I just feel like it is a ROM problem but maybe I have been doing something wrong. I also always had lag with stock ROM, Apex ROM, GummyJar, and now Liberty. The one and only remedy for lockscreen lag was a third party program called lockbot, which never lags, regardless of the situation. Anyway, thanks very much for the input and thoughts!
Hmm
I'm sorry to hear that, especially that it even did/does the lagging on the stock Moto ROM.
It would be premature of me to say it sounds like a hardware issue, but it seems like thats the path most taken when evidence like which you provided is given. Multiple ROMS, no excessive programs/apps running and it still happens.
Not sure what your situation is with returning the X for another one, but its probably out of the scope now since you mentioned you've been on several ROMs. I'm definitely not stating you're a n00b because you present yourself with valid concerns.
But I suspect it could very well be hardware related. It has definitely been an issue over the course of Motorola products. On my D1, I had the best of luck. I could run any ROM, any kernel, overclock it to ridiculous speeds...no issues whatsoever. My best friend got the same phone, same day, same store. Brand spankin new...nothing but issues with his.
I hope some others can chime in here and offer some potential helping advice cuz I'm at a loss right now.
This is my second X actually. Replaced my first one by flashing the sbf for 2.1 after having 2.2.1 installed which resulted in error codes in the bootloader, errors that I could have fixed by flashing the correct sbf, but I stumped the verizon rep with the error code and he blamed it on an OTA update. No evidence of rooting that way.. New phone the next day. Ha! :icon_ banana:
