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

Hi,
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.
Hi folks,
Just recently I have noticed that the screen is staying awake on my Nexus 6P. My phone is sat on my desk in front of me now and hasn't been touched for 5 minutes and the screen is still on. I have the screen timeout set to 15s so it should be long since off by now.
Does anyone know what the fix might be for this or how to diagnose the cause?
Thanks

Did u try to reboot? Did you enable or install anything thatll keep the display on? If enabled the proximity sensor will detect motion and keep the display on.
While charging/not charging or both ?

Yes, tried a reboot but still happening.
Not enabled anything purposefully but i'm always installing apps although not necessarily anything that should keep the display on. I was hoping there might be an app / menu that could tell me what app was keeping the screen on.
RE: proximity sensor - the screen stays on even when its laid face up on my desk with nothing near it, so can't see it being that.

Boot into safe mode and see if it's still doing it. If not, then it's an app that is keeping it awake.
Thanks for the help guys.
I installed Wakelock Detector last night and instantly identified a rogue app - an IP Camera app I was using - that was keeping the screen on. Uninstalled and all fine now.
Cheers again.
After a couple days of using my phone without a reboot I notice that it stops requiring unlock credentials such as my pin, iris or fingerprint. I will be able to swipe to unlock the phone and the security is completely removed.
Has anyone else noticed this? If I reboot the phone the security goes back to normal.
The only app I have that I think could cause this is BxAction to remap my bixby button to google now.
Under settings > security > smart lock there are options for keeping your phone unlocked in certain situations, e.g. in trusted places or when connected to a particular bluetooth, check to see if nothing is enabled there, and usually it locks after a reboot like you listed
Stupid question: have you enabled face recognition?
Did you set your screen lock to happen immediately or is it delayed?

Ok so I uninstalled bxactions to see if it was causing the problem. It appears it was not the culprit.
I currently have my phone setup to use iris, fingerprint and pin. It will work normally for approx one day.
Then all of a sudden it doesn't require my credentials to unlock. I have smart lock setup to not require credentials when connected to BT in my truck and when at the GPS location of my house. I'm currently sitting at work and it's swiping to unlock without reading my iris or fingerprint.
My lock delay is 5 seconds and auto when I press the lock button.
If I reset the phone it starts working normally again.
Now that I think about it I have a feeling its something to do with smart lock thinking I'm either still at home or that I'm still in my truck.
I'm having the same exact problem and I have the same exact setup as you! It started doing this a couple days ago. I have Smart Lock set to keep the phone unlocked when I'm at home (GPS coordinates) and when connected to bluetooth in my car. I got to school yesterday and noticed the phone wasn't requiring my irises or fingerprint anymore. I let it be for a little while to see if it would correct by itself and it didn't. I restarted the phone and that fixed it but it did it again this morning! It seems as though Smart Lock isn't registering I'm not at home or in my car. This is huge security flaw.

If others are having this issue then I agree as well this is a huge issue.
I just went home on my lunch break and the screen lock is still working normally. I connected to my truck when I was on my way home. I didnt pay attention if it was requiring any type of unlock when I was home.

Do you have On body detection turned on by chance? That may be your issue. Located in smart lock settings.

I don't have that setting checked either. Just bt for car and gps for house. Not a huge deal for me personally because I'm pretty much always around people I trust but this really is a huge security flaw if it is happening to a lot of people.
Are you looking at the screen when swiping the lock screen? The iris recognition is actually very fast and you only see the alignment screen if it cannot immediately read your iris.

No I purposely pointed it away from my face to test this.
I haven't had it happen since the day after creating this post. I wonder if some Samsung apps were updating over night and causing the issue.

Weird how they would be linked. I did notice that my fingure print gestures stopped working the other day too. I turned the setting off and back on and it started working.
After several days of the phone working properly when I traveled out of town, it is doing this again. I am at school, which is not a location I am using for trust locations, and the phone is staying unlocked. This is honestly pretty ridiculous and needs to be addressed. The only thing I can think is that I am connected to the same wifi network at my apartment (campus housing that is off campus) and while on campus. Maybe the phone is thinking I'm still in the same location since the wifi networks are the same?

I just tried this as my screen lock isn't currently not working.it didn't make a difference having gestures turned on or off. I tried turning wifi and GPS on and off as well. Only way to get it to work again is reboot.
