On my X there seems to be a delay when locking it and putting the screen to sleep. It goes to sleep 1-2 seconds after clicking the lock button. Is this happening to any of you?
Not sure if this helps, but I set the phone up as new.

What firmware are you on? Also it'll probably get fixed later on in an update.
 
Yes, this is a slight annoyance. I figured it was just taking a second or two to turn off the display, but you’re actually able to tap things during that time. I’ve accidentally pressed a few things while putting the phone into my pocket before the screen actually turned off.
 
Yep, very annoying. Anyone know if it's any different on the 11.2 beta?

Also, there is an option to disable the side button for Siri but it makes in different in terms of the delay right now.
 
Definitely noticed the lag when putting the X to sleep. Good to know I’m not the only one.

Not on IOS 11.2.....sleeps like a baby.....
 
I do notice a bit of a delay, but does it have any adverse effect on the phone? eg. can it register accidental button presses during this period?
 
Yea. It was really noticeable when we had the X for an hour. Not as noticeable as the screen not registering any touches... but noticeable nonetheless
 
Pretty sure if you disable Apple Pay, the delay goes away. My X just died and I’m calibrating the battery, so I can’t test this. Give it a try.

Myth 2: Charge your battery all the way up and allow it to drain all the way down
Yeah, don't do this. Lithium-ion batteries are not the same as what you use to power your television remote, and fully charging them on first use only to let them drain all the way isn't required to maintain battery life.

Not only does the so-called "memory effect" not really apply to the batteries in your laptop and smartphone, but trying to calibrate them like you would an old-school nickel–metal hydride battery is actually bad for them.

So feel free to charge your battery whenever you see fit, even in fits and starts. [\quote]
