Notifications on locked screen issue GS4 4.3 stock - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
When my phone is locked and I receive a notification from facebook or facebook messenger or ebay and I try to access it by dragging down the notification bar while the phone is locked, I simply press on the notification and nothing happens.
With whatsapp I dont encounter this issue.
Does anyone else experience the same?
Thanks
I am using i9505 on 4.3 stock (MJ7)

Anyone please?

Same here, some apps work some don't. The one that bothers me alot are facebook apps can't be open from the lockscreen by tapping on the notification T_T apps like gmail or SMS work normally.

I dont know. I noticed that if you click on the notification of facebook for example, it opens it but it just doesn't unlock the phone. Seems like it doesn't have the permision to unlock the phone. Maybe it will be patched in future updates... I used that feature to open FB messeges alot..

They only paused the rollout for the S3, S4 is still moving forward

Does factory wipe solve this issue? Anyone tried?
Even after updating to MK8 DBT the issue still persist so maybe wiping the device works, anyone tried wiping?
Thanks

[Q] Pics sent via MMS / Facebook don't include rotation information?

I'm having an odd problem that I haven't seen yet. I'm hoping I don't have a hardware issue. =(
When I send photos taken with my Nexus S via mms or upload directly to facebook, it seems like the rotation information is being stripped from the jpg.
I know the rotation information is properly embedded in the file because if I email the photo it is shown rotated properly wherever I view it...
It's not a show stopper, it's just annoying as heck. Has anyone else seen this phenomena? Is there a setting somewhere that maybe I fubared?
Thanks,
Ricky

I've seen it on MMS - don't use facebook. It is kind of annoying for MMS messages.
Any way to fix this problem? very annoying. Can't MMS or facebook a proper picture.
I'm seeing it too, even on CyanogenMod.

As far as I know, it's always been this way. It was on my Vibrant, anyhow. It would certainly be nice to get it fixed, but I think that's on the developers of the apps that use those pictures, unless it's a problem with the camera/gallery software somehow.

It's not on the developers at all. This never happened on the Nexus One with Facebook or MMS, so It's Samsung's bad because it happens on Galaxy S phones too.

[INFO]Official Samsung 4.2 Firmware

Hi,
I have been starting to look for information about a JellyBean 4.2.1 official firmware from Samsung and I tought it might be a good idea to share the information in one place.
So far i have found that Samsung said that they will release a 4.2 firmware for some devices including our S3 Mini but it will be the last update it will get.
The S3(I9000) will get this update as well but unlike the mini it will also get Key Lime Pie in the future.
S3(I9000) already got a leaked firmware!
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/22/i9300xxufmb3-galaxy-s-iii-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-leaked-firmware/
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/02/22/first-leak-of-touchwiz-ified-4-2-1-shows-up-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-i9300/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9moBhGYV-KY
Wish we had such a leak.
Expected New enhancements:
Improved Ripple effect on Lockscreen
New Android 4.2.1 Lockscreen with widgets
Daydream (Settings>Display)
New Additions in Notification Center
Notifications are more actionable
Voice Command (Let’s you control various parts of the phone using voice commands)
Quick Settings Tiles Layout
for me the biggest feature i'm looking for is the "Quick Settings" tiles layout feature(trigger by two finger swipe from the top)
but! if Samsung implemented this great feature why did they keep the regular quick settings in the notification window? it take space for no reason in my opinion but i'm sure we will be able to get rid of it...
Anyhow, hope to see a leak or official firmware soon, if you have any more information to add pleas do

I think not... and google photo sphere is also not in the leak.
so let's wait for CM 10.1. I hate Samsung! It just a software feature. must be very easy to add features of they do it. What I like is the photo sphere camera
im also looking forward for the new 4.2 update,especially i want the ripple effect back since samsung for unknown reason removed it with the last 4.1.2 update....hopefully it will come soon enough

someone said after it disabled, battery draining is much slower. Maybe Samsung disable it because of battery life.

well,if it drains battery you could always disable it...why to remove it from the features in the first place when u can disable it? the ripple effect got me into buying this phone instead of a similar spec htc or sony(which both were less expensive)...
so they should get this feature back for non-heavy users like me..to be honest i didnt see any difference in battery drainage with this stupid locker thingy now...
and its not fair to remove a feature when it is there when you buy the phone...how about you buy the new S4 which has dual camera recording/shooting and after a month samsung updates it and removes that feature saying it drains battery,when u can simply not use that

Oh well I don't know if that can disabled... but yes, the system needs to ready the effect fastly. I think yes it drains battery.
But you are right too, if it can be disabled, why they remove it...

well, your device status is custom. use "Triangle Away" app from chainfire. Free in his thread on XDA. just search. Then perform a factory reset.
If you have rooted mini, just wait couple more days after release to custom roms.
Not sure why samsung removed the ripple effect. It is kinda cool stuff.
You can get ripple effect back with 4.1.2 update. Aslong as you are rooted and have cwm.

exactly.
someone on a video on youtube said "you can expect it to be released after the S4 will come out, don't expect it sooner"
which make sense since the S4 will be released with 4.2
well according to gsmarena: "Exp. release 2013, April 26th"
so i'm guessing we should see an update in a month or so...
Ya that's right I agree with you. When I used Wonder, the galaxy SIII was coming. a month after it, I got the latest 2.3.6 update from Samsung for Wonder which contains "face unlock". face unlock in gingerbread. That time, that feature only in ICS.

Gmail app not pushing

Got my new verizon s7 sat. I can't get Gmail to push new emails, it only works if I open the app and manually refresh. I have tried wiping cache and data for the app, ensured that the sync Gmail in settings >accounts is on.... which it seems to get hung up there occasionally, I see the circle but it isn't spinning. I have turned on all the settings in the app too

One of the suggestions in there is to use CloudMagic. It seems to be helping with instant notifications for those of us that need to have emails notify of us instantly.
Hope this is helpful.

Anyone Having Trouble Using Textra on Their New Phone?

Nothing happens when I tap the send button. Anyone else having similar issues?
Yes, I am experiencing the same issue. A temporary workaround until a fix is produced is to enable "Send using Enter" in the settings.
Same here. I thought it was only me
Me too, I am back on the stock client for now. From what I can tell Textra needs to adjust touch placement for the notification bar. I was going to send them an email since they have been super responsive in the past... then I thought they probably hate me right now. lol
I noticed that you basically have to tap a CM(1/4") or two under what you actually want to touch. I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon once the device is in more users hands.
Ditto...also can't swipe to delete unless I increase the font size to 150% (Settings - Customize Look)
Experiencing this as well!

Understood, adb hasn't always been my friend either and definitely had some trouble with getting this one connected as well. Hopefully Textra will come out with an official update shortly. They are usually pretty good in that regard.

I couldn't stand using the Google messenger app anymore... so I spent a lot longer than I should have doing the ADB commands... I had to use an older version of the Android SDK install I had on one of my computers...lol
It works and yeay... still sad I had to do it. lol
Still can't get the app to work. Super frustrating.

Got a question about features, functionalities and how tos? One offs that don't deserve a full thread? Let's try asking it here.
Let me start.
Anyone know how to have a banner as a notification? One that you can swipe away instead of a little bubble you can expand and have to drag into a little garbage.

Not that I know. I know that good Lock adds functionality to edge lighting but not that function in particular. Maybe someone else could chime in. On a brighter note I saw in a Samsung forum that Samsung was working on giving the lights around the camera some of those led functions. It didn't come from Samsung officially so who knows. That being said RIP phisical LED!

Well that's normal behavior. The only progress bar you'll see is in the app store itself and if you happen to be using one of the apps being updated it might force close. I'm not sure sure what the question is. Maybe a bit more details in regards to what you're trying to accomplish might help. ?

Hi All
Im experiencing a drop in data connectivity once in a while, be it with browser, fb, ig, youtube etc. BUT my 4G icon is still available and present at the navigation bar with full service reception.
I called my provider if there is any issues on their end but they said all is fine up and running.
Anybody having this issues or isit my baseband faulty or some kind? Snapdragon hardware btw. I have hard reset it by using the buttons but still no use.
Im an avid android geek having 3 4 phone changed in a year but this is by far the most frustrated device yet
Please help do i need to turn off some settings or what not?
Hopefully its just a software glitch or something it would be a hassle to send in for investigation.
Did you try a "Reset network settings"? That would probably be my first step in troubleshooting.

Depending on the keyboard you're using just press + or whatever you do if you're adding a picture and select the AR emoji you want from your album. Is that not working for you?

I can do that but I cannot find in gallery, or anywhere else, the AR emojis. It only seems to work in the stock Messages app as it puts a dedicated button for this purpose in the input box.
