[Q] Issues with widgets on my s5 screens - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi --
I've been mostly loving my Galaxy s5. But occasionally, I have a problem with widgets. They either disappear, or suddenly say "unable to load widget". Any ideas why & what I can do about that?
Thanks!

Samsung S4 slower than S3 - Lagging issues

I'm experiencing some serious lag with my Bell Mobility samsung s4 at times. For example:
- sometimes when I go to open the phone application, the screen will go black for literally 2-3 seconds before the phone screen will actually appear, same applies to gallery, contacts, messaging
- when I open my folders the animation of the app icon scatterings out is sometimes very choppy and slow to load as well
- on the lock screen, the time sometimes lags for about 2-3 seconds before updating to the most recent time
I'm actually running less apps than I did on my S3, I only have one page with no widgets on it other than a HTC sense clock widget, I've also got a 16gb expandable sd card in their. I have most of the functions off with the exception of air view, aire gesture and power saving.
Anyone have any ideas as to why my s4 is running so slow?

Well its should not create this much of issue try finding if any partticular app is causing any issue
1,
U can try clearing all apps from task manger and also clear ram and reboot most issue should be solved
2,
check if there is any update on ur cell from about device - software update
3, if nothing works try a factory reset completly
I also had those shamy lags, and then I installed Nova Launcher... Amazing how Samsung can cripple such a powerful device with such a crappy interface !

Lock screen widgets for the s5?

Hi, so try as I may, I can't find a way to add widgets to the S5 lock screen. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue or if i'm just incompetent?
I'm a little new to android but is this something that might change over time? or is the inability to add widgets to the lock screen something that will never be added? I really valued that element of my old phone and I hate how I can't do that with the galaxy s5.

Galaxy S4 lockscreen help with xposed framework

Hi everyone,
i am hoping you can help me i been trying to see how to get my lockscreen to have the same features as this s5 lockscreen. see atached
i have installed xposed framework to get the camera, but for the life of me i can not get it have similar features.
I like the idea of the camera to swipe up from an app style like my iphone 5. instead of having to swipe from the left.
Also i have another issue is that my locks screen instally brings up the the screen to unlock rather than look like this s5 lockscreen.
mine is the darth vader lockscreen btw.
you ideas would be really good. to solve this.

Cannot Disable Heads Up Notification & Duplicated Home Screen Icons on S8

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been rather disappointing thus far...
I couldn't disable heads up notification without disabling notification entirely. I tried searching around and apparently there was a fix for S7 but doesn't work on S8. It would be great if somebody can come up with a sweet solution without rooting.
Anybody else experienced duplicated home screen icons despite disabling the app drawer? I have 3 icons of the same app and uninstalling one will get rid of all...
