Somebody help! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

My friends s4 (top picture) shows the date and time in the notification bar. No matter what settings I change, mine (bottom pic) only shows the time, also only shows time on the lock screen, where his shows date and time. Ive checked "show time" in lock screen settings. Nothing has worked!
Thank u in advance!

Glad to see that Urlacher decided to retire instead of puting on a different team's colors...
Try changing the system font back to default (Settings>Display>Fonts) that may have something to do with it.

Definitely glad about that as well! But yup we tried changing it back already and nothing...im @ a loss..
Im sure its some simple setting im over looking..

Try this:
When you pull down the notification window, click on the time in the top left. This will pull up those settings... check to see that both are the same.
It could be that the format you have set is too long to fit in that spot.

That was it! You sir are a scholar and gentleman, Thank you! !*!*!GOBEARS!*!*!

Where are the format settings? I only see an option to add a city after clicking on the time in the top left.

[Q] Please help to remove one of the clocks

I rooted the device as soon as I opened the box. And it upgraded twice. Now the system is 4.2.1.
I then added couple of new clocks showing 2 different time zones. Now I am traveling and found totally 4 clocks shows up on my lock screen and in the clock app. That's too much, even for me. But now I could not find where to remove one of them.
Anyone could help me on it? Thanks a bunch!
Remove them with long press and drag them to the 'x'?

Sorry for late reply. The network here is not very good. I found the place to reduce one clock. In the clock app, click location and uncheck those clock unwanted.
Thanks anyway.

Anyone else's lock screen do this?

So I have preview messages in lock screen and status bar checked on. Why is it that when I click on the message in my lock screen this blank box appears that I can't do anything with? Never had so many questions about a phone considering I get so many a year. I've attached a picture for reference.

It's a built in function. For instance, once you click on the text, you swipe in the box below and your phone goes right to the text.

From what I've been able to tell, the swipe on that lock screen is actually a widget. The box that sometimes appears is the area where the swipe trail can be triggered.
Swipe down on the message notification, then you can click on the text message notification on the lockscreen.

that helps, although I dont see the point in bringing the box up. Not like it really matters where you swipe as it will unlock.

Its no unlocking the phone by swiping the box down. Its "enabling" the lockscreen text messaging widget that google implemented in 4.2, because by default samsung overrode the aosp lockscreen with its swip from anywhere.

So does that mean there's no way to get rid of this box that pops up?

That is correct, there is no way.
I guess it's been awhile since I used my s3 and it's just something I will get used to.
very simple to get rid of that box...... but it requires using a different messaging app that is the only way right now until roms are built

[Q] txtx messages

Hello all. When typing a txt msg every time I want a space I have to double tap the space button to start a new word. Is there a way to disable this. I'm using 3x4 keyboard on predictive. I noticed if I just type hello and wait 2 seconds the line goes under the word and when I hit space once its fine. But when typing fast I have to double tap the space otherwise its just coming up as one word. I'm unable to find a setting to turn that off.. Never had this on the s3. Really annoying!!!
Please help
Dude, as simple as it is get another keyboard, or check your current keyboard settings.

Thats a nice thread here koz i am so lost when i enter those settings.

Register Intercept - enabled.
Master Sequence - enabled.
Seriously, don't mess with Perseus calibrations, it's already perfectly calibrated by people who know what they're doing. You could adjust whites if you want to, but that too only if you know what you're doing.

Change kitkat lockscreen wallpaper?

Jellybean allowed you to change either lockscreen or home wallpaper. Now kitkat changes both at once it doesn't ask which one you wanna change, or am I completely missing it? I Googled it and can't seem to figure this out -.- this is on Beanstalk on my s4, girlfriends Verizon s3, and friends att s3. so I know it's not just me lol.

Its not intuitive at all. I installed a theme and then couldn't get rid of the lockscreen wallpaper. A theme can override your normal wallpaper by setting a lock screen wallpaper. To fix this you need to go to settings -> themes -> lock screen wallpaper -> clear
Took me awhile to figure this out. Hope it helps someone else.
