Samsung Galaxy s20 FE Lagging while trying to unlock

[DevashishGole]

Unlock Lag Issue. I can't get my device to show lock screen when it's locked in standby by pressing either power button or double tap on screen.

It's taking anywhere from 5 to 10 sec for the device to respond and show lock screen once I've pressed the power button.

If i end up pressing the power button more than once, again it takes it's time to show the lock screen after quite long lag and sometimes ends up dialing emergency.

Please help. Can't even get my phone to unlock when I need it the most.

The device, once unlocked, is otherwise working perfectly alright.

This 1st June update solved the issue for me months ago.
I don't think there's any way to solve the lag issue yourself, it can only be fixed with software update.
Have you updated your device timely?

[DevashishGole]

It was a fairly large update compared to security patches.
It did mentioned "The stability of touch screen has been improved" among other fixes.
