i am collecting findings to see if this is a widespread issue or if its just me

would appreciate other members testing this on their iphone 4s (i have white. at&T if that matters)

1.)
turn the screen off by pressing the top button. then leave ur phone alone for a couple minutes and press the home button so that the lock screen comes up. take note of the response time from when you press the home button and when the lock screen actually comes up.

2.)turn your screen off by pressing the top button. immediately afterward press the home button so that the lock screen comes up . again take note of the response time from when you press the home button and when the lock screen actually comes up.

do you notice a lag in response with the first method ? the second method for me yields a very fast response,but the first method the screen takes a bit longer to come up after pressing the home button...

anyone else?
These are not separate "methods". The only difference is that you wait a bit longer before you press the home button for the #1. This is normal behavior because your phone went to sleep mode in #1 and the phone is in idle mode (not sleep yet) in #2. It takes a slight delay to wake up from sleep (as demonstrated in #1).

All this
 
This is dumb, the real issue is the 3g buzzing noise coming from the phone in very quiet environments.
 
Oh no! I'm making a genius appointment right now and demanding a new phone!
Or should I get an android?

Help me Oprah, save me Tom Cruise!
 
Ok OP, what do you plan to do with this riveting set of data points? Class action lawsuit? Petition for a recall? Blow up the ocean?
 
The lag is there but it is so insignificant I did not notice until you pointed it out.
 
yeah i've been noticing this too. when the lag comes do you notice a hesitation in the words "slide to unlock" in the shine that goes across the words?
