Lock screen clock refreshes late - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Anyone have an issue with the lock screen clock taking longer than usual to refresh? Say I turn my screen off at 6:05. If I turn on my screen back on at say 6:15, the lock screen clock will say 6:05 for a second, then switch to 6:15. Any known way to fix this?

Happens to me. I figured it was a screen-off profile written in the rom I use.

Mine does it too and I even have the latest firmware upgrade.

I see this too but don't mind it. If the phone is in deep sleep and not waking to update the clock, that saves me more battery power!

Is there any way to use face unlock with the stock lockscreen?

I am using ICS alpha 1, but I had this issue with the normal ICS leak as well. If I choose face unlock for security, and set the timeout to anything other than immediate, I have no lock screen at all until that timeout is reached. No swype or anything... anyone know why that is?
I think that's the entire purpose of the time out. It could get annoying holding the phone at the right angle in a decently lit area over and over if you're using your phone a lot but still allowing the screen to turn off. And that's at your best bet, at worst its too dark or bright and you have to really work to unlock it repeatedly.

Right, but now if the phone wakes before the lock screen timeout, it wakes to the home screen... which can be bad for pocket dials, etc...

Not locking immediately is the entire point of setting that timeout. It doesn't lock. If you want it to lock when the screen goes off, you have to set it to immediately.
I think understand what you're asking, though. If use facelock and set it to lock after 5 minutes, anytime you unlock it up to 4 minutes and 59 seconds, you want to have to swipe or use some other method to unlock. Pretty sure that's not an option, unless there's an alternative app out there that does it or a dev mods it to do that.

On other devices I have with ICS, its the default lockscreen until the faceunlock timeout is reached. The other device I have is HTC, so maybe sense has something to do with it. I was able to get the behavior I want just by using widgetlocker, but I dont like that solution... I like to stay as vanilla as possible.

[Q] Can the lock-screen brightness be changed?

I noticed on my S3 when i have a dark picture set on the lock screen and the home screen the lock screen seems to be allot brighter.
Can this be changed in the settings somewhere or is it just my S3?
I have switched auto brightness off, I've looked in all the settings and cant seem to find anything, its not a major issue but just annoying!
cheers.
Bump
No one?
Is my phone the only one

You're not the only one!
This kinda drives me nuts. I like having a primarily black background and lock screen on the amoled display. But on the s3, the lock screen is brighter and less contrast so the black is grey.
I would love to fix that apart from using an alternative locker.

Screen refreshing after unlock

Is this the same on others devices .. when I unlock my screen the widgets and apps sometimes need a second time appear
The weather clock. Alarm widget. Google search etc all disappear as if they are not loaded .. is this a feature to save power or a design flaw ??
Sent from my GT-I9300
I've noticed that too. Like it has to load everything up again. Annoying.

Same here with Nova launncher.
This is where I envy IOS
Here comes the whaaambulance!!!
Seriously though. I think its designed to do that. Not so much the part where they take a second to load, but to save power maybe by using less ram? I dunno.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Ah yeah sounds right to save ram it's not bothering me as such just used to HTC
Another thing anyway to delay the screen lock when I'm using the phone ... I don't want to have to change the screen lock each time from none to pattern lol

The worst part is, if I wake up phone from deep sleep them the animation on the lock screen lags.
And even the main screen would lag for few seconds before it becomes super snappy.
This wake up lag and screen refresh is very embarrassing.
My gf's I Phone never does that and she teases me a lot because of this.
I have to sollow my pride :screwy::screwy::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

Wake up already!

Anyone else experiencing a substantial lag on waking the phone up? Not to be a stickler, but it's pretty much a full second from when I press the power key until the screen wakes up.

Yes, see the thread "sluggish waking up" in the q&a feed. Disable the ripple effect on the lockscreen. Worked for me. I've since re-enabled the ripple effect and have not noticed the lag.

I actually disabled the ripple effect right when I turned it on.
I'll toggle it on/off again and see what happens

I read in a different thread if you completely turn it off it's pretty quick. I use Widget Locker with root helper enabled. It's pretty speedy once you disable the stock lockscreen.
Mine's better too after disabling ripple.. I wonder if it has to do with the phone going into a deep sleep state combined with loading up the ripple?
Ok, so where do we disable the ripple effect?
Under settings:lock screen:lock screen settings. Uncheck ripple effect

Screen is not shutting off

I am rooted.
Screen is not dimming, smart stay is off, and timeout has been changed between 15-30 seconds. Phone still does not autosleep. SmartStay is off, tried toggling it as well.
Any suggestions?
Reboot fixed it for me

Same here.
This happens every two days or so.
I'm just paranoid I will fall asleep without knowing about this and have a screen with burn in. Luckily, last night my battery was low and died so it shut off. Otherwise, i'd probably have a status bar burnt to the top of my screen.
I've found the smart stay feature to be flaky at best. I suggest people not use the feature and set a display timeout and adjust ones app settings. I know some ebook programs like to keep the screen on.

I had the same issue but since unlocking, wiping and moving to beans v2 it hasn't come back but we'll see if that lasts.

I'm assuming you are Korean based on your username... If you are playing any Kakaotalk games, including anipang, dragonflight.. so on.. kill that app after you are done playing. That will take care of it. I think that is the reason why reboot cures it.
