Slow clock on lock screen? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I'm having a problem with the lock screen clock updating really slow. It takes at least 2-3 seconds everytime I turn of my phone to look at the time. The small clock on top next to the battery works fine though.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

This has been driving me crazy ever since I got the phone, I've tried to just forget about it. Hopefully someone knows about this and has some way to fix it, whether its a different clock widget or a setting somewhere.

Its a problem with all the widgets I'm finding. They take longer to load up during start up.

Lockscreen Notifications

Hey I found his nice app for displaying missed called, email and text message notifications on the lock screen somewhat like the iphone. It's setup as a live wall paper to show notifications in the background, that way you don't need to change our your original lockscreen.

can someone post the apk, it says that my nexus 7 is not supported for some reason.
The app is pretty good but I notice the home screen lags just a bit with it enabled.

I had major lag with this. Might need a 4.2 update before it runs right. Great app tho.

Same here. Too much lag to use.
Trying to figure out how to make the widget show on the main screen (under the clock) like in your image. Can't see a setting that does it... anyone else figure that out?

That's a screenshot of WidgetLocker, not the stock lockscreen.

The new update

Aside from multitasking what else does this new update contain.
I noticed it moved my pull down toggles around. ..

+1. Is it even worth stepping back from jedi 6.1.2? The only thing I can think of is the better battery life of the stock rom over the custom ones if all we are getting is the multi windows software from this.

I've noticed that there are new ink colors for the pen on the lock screen. Also, it feels like haptic feedback is a bit weaker.
Anyone know if we can customize the toggles in the notification window?

Try under display. I see it on clean ROM, and someone said theyd noticed they were rearranged I bet they included that as well.
Don't see anything under display. Bummer I guess
For some reason the multi view is not working any more.
I got the little tab. . But when I click program like google mail and Chrome the open in full screen. It worked for a few hours but then it stopped. ..

Patching it using ExynosAbuse breaks the camera now, though.
Back Button does not activate multi-window
I am on stock ROM no rooting done at all.
After the update, tried to hold down the back button but will not activate the multi window.
I can only activate it on the notification bar.
Please advise and thank you.
I would make sure under settings that its enabled and if it is then try a reboot and renable the feature as I have two notes one which is stock and works just fine

Wake up lag?

I get about a 2-3 second delay when I turn my S4 on. I know that's not a big deal but it just annoys me, and I'm not sure what's causing it to happen

Are you using Set CPU or any other clocking software. I notice if I set my screen off profiles higher setting too low it will lag while trying to clock up to speed. Maybe this will help.

If you edit the smali it will work. But keeping your device from deep sleeping? Um i dont care what is in that thread. Your battery will die very quickly. You can simply write an app to hold the wake lock without going through all the smali code.

um not really on the "battery will die very quickly" I actually have the mod on on my note2 and the battery difference is very minimal. yes you will loose a little but we're talking about 1-2% per hr less when mod is on. not really a difference considering the battery size of the note2. Dont know if the same will be with the much smaller battery of the s4 but it has a smaller screen as well (less power).
*s4 wake up lag is terrible imo

1 to 2 percent is a lot multiplied by 24 hours in your day minus the drain while using the device.

I seem to have this issue too, on Wicked V3 rom, right after getting a text message. Most other times there isn't really any lag when waking up the phone. Have you noticed it every time you wake up the device, or just after getting a text?

[Q] Terrible lag when turning off the screen?

Has anyone else noticed that there a noticeable lag when turning off the screen? The slight fade out animation seems to stutter and there is about a 1-2 second delay from when i press the power button to it actually doing something. This is probably one of the weirdest places for a phone to lag.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm running on stock rooted BTW.
EDIT (more info): This doesn't happen right after a factory reset. I takes a bit of time for it to happen which makes it seem like some app messing it up, but it happens even if there isn't anything installed besides the default stuff.

Location

Everytime I unlock my note 2 the location icon comes up literatly every time, If I lock the device and then unlock it 10 seconds later its there, I can understand doing it if it was 15 mins or so.
Would this be an app doing this or is it just a samsung thing? Is there a way to tell or does everyones phone do this?

check if you have some weather app which refresh itself everytime you unlock the screen.
this is not samsung thing, I faced the same thing with some weather apps
I only have two weather apps, BBC and notification weather bother are set as 2 and 4 hours refresh time. Any other clues or apps I can find out using this?

Most likely an app and unless I do a lot of digging (I can't remember the apps name) I would shut off GPS unless needed... Essentials there is an app that can observe your wake lock behaviors and determine what the culprit is (I.e. which app is causing the GPS to trigger).. No one can really help you figure out a solution without knowing this info either... Do some research and see if you can't figure it out as I will in spare time try my best to point you in a better direction

Thank you for the honesty I have had a look at some apps and most weather have hour refresh rates. I thoght automate it could of been it but force closed it and it isn't that app either. Dont know why so many apps are allowed access to this stuff when they don't need it.

I do read them but unless you want the app what can you do? Heck if I read them I would only proberbly have one or two apps installed as all apps ask for loads of permissions they don't need at all that's what I meant.
Anyway found the app, sense v2 flip clock thought it looked the best out of all the look alikes. Gone back to beautiful widgets now and ain't had the location thing back yet. Strange because there is an option to update upon unlocking and I had unticked that so I guess it ignores your preferences.
