How long is "long enough"? When I was on call last week I had the phone on for 7 days straight and never had that problem. Using Nova Launcher...not sure if that makes a difference??

Maybe? I'm using mifavor launcher, but doesn't seem to matter what app I'm in. I'll try Google Now launcher. Not sure what's causing it, but I'll update if/when I figure it out.

Think I figured it out. I had notification shade disabled on lock screen. Enabling that and haven't had the issue since. This makes me think this feature is broken.

Haptic feedback, vibration and green trace screen lock pattern gone

I am rooted and a problem just popped up out of the blue. I received a replacement Fascinate several days ago and reinstalled Evil Fascination 3.6. The next day my text messages from the previous 24 hours were gone. Then I noticed the haptic feedback and vibration were gone. I checked the settings and all were set okay. I rebooted a couple times and then decided to go to Com Rom Ultimate Kangbang 2.0, then immediately flashed the 2.1 update thinking that would surely fix it but it didn't. Same problems. Is it the phone or should I try to flash something different? Thanks!
Thought I would follow up my own post. Still not sure what happened to the vibrate but I couldn't get any answers from the smartest people on the planet when it comes to android phones so I had to assume it was a malfunction of the device. Assurion swapped it out for me. I re-rooted, flashed comrom ultimate kangbang 2.1 and I'm back in business. Hopefully no one else has experienced this.
Oddly though, the green trace that used to follow me on the screen lock pattern still doesn't trace, but it unlocks when I swipe it appropriately so maybe that's a software update to froyo, I don't know....

There's a toggle under "Location and Security" that makes the trace visible/invisible.
Wow, thanks! I never saw that before and what's weird is when I just went to look for that toggle it wasn't there. There was only an option to show passwords as they were being typed. So I decided to change the pattern and sure enough it showed up. I really don't like it being on, after it was gone it was nice knowing anyone couldn't watch my pattern. Anyway, thanks, nice to know it's a feature.

[Q] Clock Time Jump

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.

Red flashing while device is on...

So I've found a lot of threads about red flashing notification light while trying to boot up... however I am getting the red notification light rapidly flashing while my device is on and idle, and seams to be ok. As soon as I hit the power and wake it up, it stops flashing. Battery is at 78%, wifi and cell signal are registering. As far as I can tell, everything seems ok. I'm just wondering if anyone has had this happen before, or what might be causing it? My Nexus 4 is not rooted and is stock.

I don't think that's it. I only have a few apps on it atm, and none of them have a setting for notification light. Also it happens everytime it goes to sleep now and has been to sleep for awhile. When I wake it up, it stops, and there is no notifications in the notification shade. Really confused by this, heh.

So am I the only one who has this lock screen clock "stuck" at a time time problem?

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.

Oreo Notifications.......

Has anyone else experienced sporadic notifications since updating to 8.1? Unrooted, and ever since the update, my notifications will only vibrate when the screen is off, but will go audible if the screens on.... or ill get a few hours of normal functionality, then back to whatever it wants to do... Ill get delayed text notifications or even doubling them up. Ive never had this issue before. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated

I have the same issue. Orea 8.1 unrooted.
Have you tried removing the apps that need immediate notifications from battery optimization? Oreo is more aggressive stopping the background activity of apps than Nougat was. it's an intentional battery saving feature.

I've noticed this too, and literally just came on XDA to post this same question!!
It seems to take away notification sounds for most apps until I restart the phone. Based on the timing, maybe it has to do with going into a deeper sleep mode or something. Seems more like a glitch than a feature to me, since the notifications don't come back until I restart.
I'll try the battery optimization thing mentioned above, but I don't want WhatsApp draining my battery.

Good tip, Thanks. I was unaware they automatically optimized the apps for battery in the update. what a pain in the a$$. Ive changed the setting for messenger and telegram, Ill report back if i see an improvement.
Hmmm. I changed my battery optimization do exclude Google Voice and Android Messages... it worked for a small amount of time, now I just get vibration, but no sound for notifications.
Oreo 8.1 release.

I was using Nova Launcher when I had this issue. I switched to the default launcher and haven't had the issue since.
