S4 stock/rooted, debloated running greenify and all is well, great battery life. All except my stock weather widget. At times it won't update unless I turn on Gps,(I don't use Gps much so will only have on when needed) then it will be fine for a great while, a week or two, then it will stop updating.
Anyone experience this with there weather widget?

Sounds like it's because you don't have gps on in the background all the time like most users.

This thing will work fine for weeks on end, and then (clunk) it stops refreshing. All the time GPS is off, I don't see any option to have GPS on in the background. I'll have GPS on once in a while but not too often. Don't remember reading that GPS needs to be on all the time for the weather widget to work properly.
When it borks, the only way to get it working again is to uninstall widget and reinstall , then it works OK for a while until it stops again.

Still not refreshing.. ???
Google says that restarting / reboot makes it start refreshing again......... can't be restarting my phone several times a day!!!! WTF!
Wife has the Note3 and her weather widget is always upto date. Only difference between phones is she is stock, I'm stock/rooted. ???
Somebody else has got to be having these symptoms, hello!
The crazy pills are starting to kick in. :banghead:

I'm having a very strange problem with my phone. I am currently using aokp 33, but I had this problem for a while. When I'm at work it says I am in Ljubljana, Slavania. It shows this on my HTC weather widget, hd widget and the built in weather. If I move around town sometimes it shows the right town, but this happens every day when I'm at work. Gps is on, weather is set to update every hour.
Any ideas?

I use Beautiful Widgets and I had to check the option for alternate geolocator because it would always show N/A. Try another program? Granted that isn't a fix as to why its happening, but it's a work around.

Try a stock rom and see if the problem persists. If not, then it's the rom.

It's not one program, it's all my weather widgets. I tried other roms, can't say for sure it didn't happen on them. I like aokp and 33 has been good.

So ever since I got my phone, I was wondering why my battery is lacking with my brothers s4 and then it just came to me.
It's the FACEBOOK APPS! I checked the app and it. Uses 40 Mb's which I surprising for me but then I uninstalled both the Facebook app and messenger and my battery the next day improved by a lot (minimum, for me, 45 on screen minutes added to the battery)! I noticed the difference . I'm just sharing this information if you guys have a battery issue like me and have Facebook installed.
Also if you really love Facebook, just use the browser version and make a shortcut and out it on your home screen!
Hope this helped!
P. S: Facebook (when it was installed) did not show up in my battery usage, so I have no idea why it was running in the background

You may wanna try my modded facebook version. it removes the location feature from it. Which is the biggest battery hog. It constantly updates your location in the background. Taking a huge toll on your battery from trying to acquire a GPS lock plus the services themselves running in the background. I am planning on making one that has an "exit" option to fully shut everything down.
Thanks! Can you link me to your Facebook app? It sounds much better than the original one

Should see very little difference! I used to use the website, then i got frustrated with some things, and grabbed the app. And noticed battery drain as you said. i also noticed my GPS lock icon kept coming up. Plus i hated how facebook ALWAYS put your location onto your status updates and messages. So i removed it Now i love the app.

I have FB on my s4, but there's hardly any battery drain because I use FriendCaster. Works fine for me.

Facebook doesn't seem to touch my battery much; I suppose because I have the location bit disabled in Facebook and GPS off - I dunno.

Yeah, i used to have GPS turned off too. Thats why it doesn't kill your battery. I don't like not having GPS off though. cause when i go to use a GPS app, ie weather Google Maps etc its a pain to have to turn it back on.

Swipe down, tap, swipe up/back button. Not much of a pain in my situation.
Only time I use GPS is when using the Navigation from Google maps, which isn't often.

Thats too much of a pain for me. In all honesty, facebook shouldnt even have an ongoing "tracking service" like it does. Its downright invasive. No wonder people can rape so easily, facebook, by default, is broadcasting their location every time the user posts a status.
But i have a weather app that gets my location ever hour and updates for weather alerts and such. So it would be very annoying if my GPS was off.
...
Unless you have location data turned off, you don't need GPS on for apps to aquire your location.
I have stock gnex on takju, since 4.2.2 I have suffered from lag all over the place, the lag could be fixed by restarting the phone but it would eventually come back.
I have only 300MB of data plan and I noticed that Facebook and facebook messenger where using about 50MB a month on the background without any user interaction and just a couple of days ago I started seeing Facebook app as the second most battery using app just behind screen on, this made me uninstall Facebook and and I instantly saw performance go up all over the place, it was night and day comparison, my phone feels like new and the buttery effect is back.
Now I installed Facebook back just to test and it indeed is the reason for my lag but this time I used greenifyed it and it fixed the lag too.
So there you go, hope this helps

Does matter. I disabled background data (as opposed to removing the app entirely) on Facebook and have noticed substantial speed improvement instantly. The only place you can do it, that I'm aware of, is from the mobile data screen when checking the apps usage.

There are two places to disable notification from Facebook on mobile.
The first would be to go into the settings by clicking on the 3 point button just right of the multitasking navigation key, then disabling notifications.
Second, by clicking on the top left corner button inside the Facebook app, then clicking on privacy settings --> notifications---> mobile push--> uncheck all
Sometimes I think Facebook deliberately tries to complicate the notification settings so as to keep pushing themselves on our faces!

Thanks for the tip, this actually helped a bit.
I've had luck with disabling auto-rotation for some reason. Caused SystemUI to lag after time. Hopefully it'll be patched in 4.3.
Well, I brought myself to removing my CM10.2 and trying the MIUI ROM. It was a very slick, very smooth ROM. I overall enjoyed it. But with it being a ROM of course it had a few minor bugs. And I did have a few dislikes. So I'm gonna list a few things I personally noticed about it. Fell free to post your thoughts and any resolutions to anything I'm gonna lay out.
PROS:
-a smooth, soft feeling touch that was full of color and a very nice setup. The was miui was set up in settings for example was on of a kind. I was not disappointed. The theme app that was there gave me full control of changing the status bar, lock screen, home screen, etc. You have full control of customization. WiFi also seemed to work just fine.
CONS:
- Sadly, my LTE didn't appear to work. I tried adjusting my setting to fix it. No avail and that kinda was frustrating. But with WiFi working it didn't pose to much of a issue. I also experienced to apps for my gallery, and I was unable to delete it because it was a system app. Some of the themes I downloaded froze my phone, causing me to remove my battery and restart my phone. I wasn't bothered by it to much, I'm rather used to having to do that with previous phone.
Over all if you like a fresh and fast ROM you will love MIUI. But with these few issues I went back to cm. As I need my LTE cause my phone is also a work phone and I need the fastest internet I can get. So feel free to post your thoughts on MIUI and any fixes. Because I would like to switch back and continue using MIUI.

LTE works you just have to select it in settings when you first flash the rom because it doesn't default on. Reason there are 2 galleries is because MIUI has its own gallery and since we have to use 4.2 camera it comes with its only gallery also hide one in a folder if you dont like one. And theme issue I've never experienced this

I love the visual development compared to all other ROM.
Looks great.. but I'm still in love with AOSP.
Right out of the box, I think MIUI looks a lot like ios . Maybe too much.
It is a great ROM though, and very user-friendly.
Could I see a screen shot of the phone? Keypad, in call. These are things people over look, but this is our phone is it not? For most if not everyone on here, the only phone they use.

I had that problem with several of the 4.3 roms I was trying along with a call bug. Saw in one of the threads that my recovery/installer might be the problem tho I couldn't see how that wolld effect operations. Ditched TWRP and went with Philz latest. Everything working fine now.
Reflashed zip and that appears to have fixed it. For now.
