I used the update.zip from the Samsung site to update to EB13, everything went off just fine except my Epic now takes an average of 2 seconds to wake from sleep after pressing the power button, sometimes going up to 4 or 5. Not the worst thing in the world, but pretty annoying.
I narrowed it down to my non-usage of the lock screen. I typically run without using a lock screen at all (disabled via SwitchPro Widget). If I turn the lock screen back ON, my Epic wakes from sleep either instantly or within 1/2 a second. With the lock screen disabled (no pattern lock either), it's super slow to wake.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could try?
Mine works just fine, but I'm using the lock screen, try uninstalling that widget and see if it corrects the problem when you use the lock screen.
Small update to this. I had an idea to move all the apps that I had moved to the SD card back to the phone to see if that helped. It does. With the lock screen on, my Epic comes back from sleep instantly every time. With lock screen off it varies between 1/2 and 1 second.
The apps I moved to SD were ones I hardly used.. I don't know why that would have an effect on the wake time?
Mine seems a bit slow too. But it's not the 4 or 5 seconds you described. It seems like it's about one second, when it used to be anywhere between instantly and half a second.
It's kind of annoying because the delay is just barely too long to where I start second guessing myself on whether or not I pushed the button in all the way or not.
Go to your display setting and reset your horizantal calibration accelerometer... that fixed my phone waking up issue...

Unfortunately, I had already tried recalibrating. I do, however, have no lock on and widget locker running. Do any of you use either of these?

I use the same program as you do and I have the exact same problem So your not alone.
Mine is slow to wake also, about a second. When its plugged into the charger its instant, weird.
I'm glad we aren't alone though. Hopefully if this is a big enough issue, people will look into it. And also, they've pulled the EB13 update from Sprint and Samsung's website.
It's causing problems with reading media from the SD card and also has data issues. So hopefully in the new one, they will fix this problem too?
Looks like it's No Lock, from what I can tell. If you disable it, it comes on instantly. If it's enabled, it takes it a moment to wake up.

I'm having a couple off issues with the latest release.
First of all I can't turn Wifi off and keep it off. Everytime I go into the menu to check on it, it's checked, so I uncheck it, and it'll turn off for a minute or two and then all of a sudden turns right back on. This is extremely annoying.
And the other is that it seems like in some apps my touchscreen presses don't keep the phone awake. So I can be interacting with the screen and then all of a sudden it'll go dim. I'll keep pressing on screen buttons and a few seconds later the display will shut off completely. The only way I can jog it back awake in its dimmed state is to move the trackball or press some other hardware button.
Anyone else seen these problems?

I've seen similar issue with the screen staying awake, thought it's just the phone. Also not sure if it's related sometimes I'll click on a button for example, but it will almost not recognize the spot i'm clicking on and click something else on the screen.
These are the same problems I've been seeing on my phone. I imagine it is due to the multitouch hack, but I haven't gotten the motivation to downgrade my phone back to 1.31.
Do you have anything installed like power manager or locale? One of those progams may be turning on wifi.

Nope, I had installed Power Manager once a while back and didn't like how it worked so I uninstalled it. Don't have Locale installed either. I ran the task manager to see what was running and there was nothing that I could tell that would turn the wifi on.
The touch issues are rather widespread amongst 1.41 users. However, don't know what's up with ur wifi. I have a strange issue with my wifi as well though. Whenever I boot up my phone and wifi was enabled when it turned it off. I get 2 not responding errors. Everytime. Its like clockwork. With 3g? Never. It took me about 20 wipes and 10 or so hours to finally figure it out. Hopefully all these problems will be fixed with rc33
I have also noticed that Applications don't check for new updates anymore. even when I go to "My Downloads", It used to show "free" next to any application that has an update or has been uninstalled. Now it shows "Installed" next to all the applications but when I go to the application by category, It shows up as "Free" meaning that there is a new version.
the case in simple points:
1. when I open the Application..... It doesn't detect the update.
2. when I go to "My Downloads" in the market, It doesn't show "Free" next to any application that has an update.
But if I go to the application by category, It shows "Free".

i havnt had a problem with it staying on, i noticed that my phone was dimming to quickly. I know theres probably an adjustment somwhere (i think at least) but i havnt had any problems what so ever with it.
Very strange. I haven't had either problem (wifi or touchscreen). I have noticed that my battery drains more quickly than it used to, but I have been blaming this on the DroidSans autorotate feature always flipping the screen everytime I move the phone (I mess with the phone an awful lot).

DroidSans Tweaks checks the version. At the moment it's not going to recognize RC33 as a valid version. Wait for it to be updated.

What he said... But don't forget to enable auto rotate in your browser though. You don't need droidsans for that.
The issue is when i turn the screen off, lets say the time is 2:00PM and i check for notification at 2:20PM. What happens is as soon as the screen turns on the time jumps from 2:00 -> 2:20 PM , shouldn't this be done as a background process so that we shouldn't even see the time jump?
Anyone else facing this issue and any workarounds/fixes?
Thanks

Does it always jump to the correct time?
I have seen this on different ROMS on other phones.

Pretty old. Used to happen on my S2 too.
i guess it is an intent that gets activated upon waking of the phone (by turning on the screen)... when you do that, it updates the screen and thats why.
but then again... that is only what i think.. if it should update it while the screen is turned off it would be an active process and use battery
Does it on mine too but only the clock on the main lock screen, the time on the top bar seems to be correct.

Yes it always jump to the correct & exact time....it seems like a battery saving feature...if it is, other people with S4 should also experience it,no?

For me i have a pattern Lock with time...so the moment i turn it on this is done on the lock screen clock...and yes the timer on the top bar seems to be correct(as in no jump).

Hi,
I ,too, have the pattern lock screen.
But I have the Lightning Launcher.
So, there is no lag or delay on mine.
Maybe ,try a different launcher and see.

oh...will do
New to XDA. Hello all!
I am experiencing this clock lag as well. :/
It doesn't matter if I use a custom lock screen or the Samsung lock screen with "swipe to unlock".
It's easily reproducible, let phone sit for 10-15 min and if you press the unlock button you'll see the wrong time for anywhere from a fraction of a second to a few seconds! and then it will update to correct time. Super annoying if I just want to know the time. Also, I've found that the amount the clock is behind is proportionate to the amount of time the phone as been idle....to a point...
I've seen the clock be over an hour off but it doesn't drift much more than than. Like a few folks mentioned, this should be running in the back ground. What is confusing to me is the clock in the top right is correct, so the phone is monitoring the clock...it's just not updating the lock screen clock.
Hopefully we can find a work around.
Not too keen on a new launcher...at least not until others who have seen that lag switch over and confirm it as a fix...but I don't think it will help, because the lock screen is still a Samsung process not controller by the launcher (i don't think)
Any thoughts?
The clock on the main unlock screen is essentially a widget. As a power saving feature, it only updates as necessary, which would be when you turn your phone on to look at the time. The time at the top of the screen in the notification bar is not a widget, it is a built in process that is always active. That is why it is current and the large clock, "the widget", is off until you turn your phone on to look at it.
My phone does the same thing. As does pretty much everyone's. It is not anything wrong with your phone, it is just the way it is set up. It is usually only delayed by a second or two, at best.
If it is an issue, you can always just remove the widget and use the time at the top of the screen to check. Or try a different app and set the update frequency.
It's not that big of a deal to me, I know it's always off until it refreshes, so I just give it a second to update.
My N4 was away to repair a broken screen. Got it back on Wednesday and it immediately updated to 4.3. All was well, except for one weird issue where hitting a notification from the pull down would take me to the app via the pattern lock. I put this down to having played with some lock screen settings in Setting Profiles app (trying to disable it in certain settings), but it might not have been.
I've done the first device restart today, and after rebooting there are a few big issues.
1. I don't appear to have any mobile network, though wifi is connected. I had a good signal before the reboot.
2. I'm not getting a lock pattern or any lock screen at all, and it's not asked for the SIM pin
3. Hitting a notification in the pull-down makes the 'lock' clicking sound as it takes me to the app
4. The home button doesn't work. I see a slight dim of the screen and it makes the lock click sound, but nothing happens. Back and multitask work fine
Help! Any ideas? Are they known issues? Can't seem to find any reference online.
I'm on stock, using Nova Launcher

Those are not any known issues or anything I have read since Andrid 4.3 came out. Try a factory reset to see if that solves the problem. If not, maybe the screen wasn´t the only thing broken on your device. Ask for warranty.
Thanks, will see how I get on this evening and try a factory reset if it doesn't fix itself.
Seems to be a weird problem related to the lock screen and when it should/shouldn't kick in...

Glad I could help.
Ok, I've done a factory reset. Not had much chance to play as it took hours to reinstall everything. But I've just had the word issue where selecting something from the notification tray (the setting profiles shortcut) took me to the lock screen to put in my pattern first, then took me to the app.
EDIT no pattern to when it does it, seems random and can be while I'm using the device, so the lock screen shouldn't kick in for any reason
Any ideas? Faulty device?
So am I the only one who has this lock screen clock "stuck" at a time time problem?
I am literally disgusted by this issue! It happened on the S4 I had, and I thought Samsung definitely has solved the problem but nah they didn't.
The problem is, the lock screen clock gets stuck at a time, and doesn't update with system time. No, it doesn't happen always, but it could happen at a time which could be really important, just like it happened today. I went to bed at 1 a.m, checked the phone when I temporarily woke up, the lock screen clock showed 3:44 a.m. I went back to sleep, suddenly I felt that there's a glimpse of sunlight on my windows, and checked the phone again, and it was actually 6:44 a.m.
Seriously speaking, I am fukcing tired of this problem. No I don't depend on the phone's lock screen clock, but the only time I check it is when I am in bed, sleeping, and that's when the problem has happened today.
Is there really no solution of this? Using a third party lock screen app or what?
Damn I am annoyed!
Maybe get a note 4?

Most likely you have Greenify-ed something that you should have not.
This happens sometimes, yes. Annoyed me to no end on my S3.
Personally I use Zooper Widget as a lockscreen. (if you set multiple widgets and create a second widget page, you can delete the default lockscreen page by longpressing and dragging it to the bin at the top..) I've not seen Zooper have this bug

Check any battery save application that you might use. I had the same problem and it was due to an application that was saving battery. Sometimes this happens when i had the power saving mode too.

All right. Does this Zooper Widget support SMS pop up and missed call notifications like stock Samsung lock screen?
I have no idea how to use a widget as a lock screen anyway

I do NOT have any battery saving applications installed. If there's one thing I don't care about in mobile phones, that's battery life. So Greenify, and all those apps are not in my phone obviously.
Just updating the topic with a screenshot of the problem which I was talking about. Was lucky to snap the screenshot yesterday before going to bed, cause usually as soon as I press the home button to take the screenshot the time use to update.
Has anyone else had this happen? Happens quite often for me. I'll be playing a game at work, get up to do some work while leaving game open. Come back and unlock the phone and it's on home screen. Does the same thing while listening to Pandora.
I've never noticed that happening to me, I just tried to reproduce it with not luck. How are you unlocking the phone?
Either fingerprint or iris. It does it with both. I don't see it happening when turning phone off and on right away. Phone usually sits a few min before it does it.

Battery optimization setting probably. Try disabling optimization for an app that currently does it and see what happens
That didn't help
Couldn't replicate issue either. Let Rayman running and screen went off for about 5 mins. Unlocked with fingerprint and went directly to the game. I had power saving off and performance mode set to optimized.
OP do you also lose your place when it directs you to the home page? Or does it resume when you reopen the app?
It resumes when reopened.
Power saving off and performance mode set to optimized as well.
The one app where it does it almost every time is Star Wars: Galaxy of Hero's. Only other app I notice it once and while is Pandora.
Are you sure you aren't iris unlocking it without knowing you are? Sometimes mine unlocks almost instantly when i press the unlock button. Or when I turn my screen on to check the time.
Is "iris unlock when screen turns on" enabled?
Lock screen & security > iris scanner
I'm sure. Most of the time my phone is face down and I grab it by the side and put finger on scanner. Turned iris scanner off just to be sure and it's still doing it.
Also does it with line messanger...
I have this exact problem as well. Seems to happen rather randomly.
I sometimes see the app actually minimizing to the home screen when I unlock the phone, so it's probably not some background task killing it.
The app is only minimized, not killed.
I have this issue as well.
I think I found the problem. Uninstalled bxActions and as of the past 2 hours the problem is gone.
i have this issue but i don't have bxActions so i don't think that is the problem
Are any of you happening to use the long press home option, the one that bypasses the lock screen? Even though you may not be using the home button maybe the option is still affecting the apps that are open and thinks for some reason you're pushing on the home button.
It might be an app causing it. I still haven't had any issues since I uninstalled bxActions. If you don't have that installed it could be a different app causing it.
I was also having this issue. Stopped bxactions and the issue is gone. Started bxActions back up and issue came back.
Same problem here. On Verizon s8 and no bxaction installed. Very irritating!
Unrelated but another problem is when I change to aggressive wifi/cell handover in developer options it allways defaults back off after a reboot? Any ideas??
