Lockscreen information delay

Since the mango update there is a small change slightly irritating me.
Everytime when I push the power butten when in sleepmode the lockscreen shows.
But since mango it takes about 1 second to show the information like date, texts, mails etc..
Does anybody has the same problem and knows how to fix it?

I hate it also i dont think you can fix it

same situation on my mozart, it's unfortunate but maybe it'll get fixed

the thing goes away if there's song active in mini player. so, go and play a song, stop it, turn off the screen and then turn it on again. there will be no more lag in displaying clock and callendar.
the lag will come back if you go and play a video. the song will go away from the mini player, and lag will be present till the next time you play a song.

That one second must be killing you
For me it's not a big deal. I guess this might be battery saving feature so phone doesn't have to sync all the time while it's off.

I had this problem and it ended up going away on its own after a few days.
I have a focus

I had this issue during the beta, however it was fixed in final release. Not sure what to tell ya.

I assume it takes about a second to gather the data, but I haven't suffered that delay either. It probably depends on how much email and contacts and other data that you may have.

I can confirm this. I did a few tests this afternoon. Youtube videos do not appear to invoke the bug, but videos played in the music/video app doe result in the delay.
I created an account on xda just to tell phobius87 what an outstanding individual he/she is. Treat yourself to a milkshake Phobius, or, if you're lactose intolerant and of legal age...enjoy a smooth refreshing alcoholic beverage.

[Q] Marketplace will not start anymore?

For almost a week now, my Marketplace app is no longer starting when i tap the icon (tapping the live tile as well as launching from the app menu fails).
The menu of my phone simply gets a 'refresh' once i tap the button and thats it (very odd).
I made a quick movie to show what i mean: Click (3 MB .mkv)
Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution to get this fixed?

I've had this on marketplace and other apps. I just restart my phone and it works. Would be nice for it to work anyway though

I tried powering down the phone before but that didn't really change anything.
So i decided to just pull out the battery and put it back in.
The marketplace is working again now, for me.

I have the same problem over and over again. Everytime I have to give my phone a reboot... this happens a lot. Maybe because of the really buggy Whatsapp interfering?

Are these issues for everyone or am I just lucky? #annoyingglitches

So when I'm playing a video through the browser it seems that 80% of the time the buffer bar freezes about 3 seconds into what I'm playing. The video continues and I can pause the video but am unable to slide the "orb" to fast forward rewinding and the FF RW buttons do nothing. I don't seem to have this issue when playing Youtube videos however.
My second annoyance would be when on Google s sit while typing in searches the phone sometimes goes crazy and regardless of what letter is typed it fills the search bar with jibberish. The delete button operates poorly but eventually it corrects itself and I can type as normal.
Just wondering if these are specific to me or if others are experiencing these issues as well. I my apologies for the Grammer and punctuation, I typed this rather rapidly on my phone. Thanks.

I have had a similar issue with the google search box. Thought it was a SwiftKey thing though. To get around I switch to stock and then back to SwiftKey and then the gibberish is able to be deleted. Don't know if that helps. i had same issue on my tf201 which is why I thought it was just a SwiftKey thing..

The Google search bar I can get use to but the video slider is becoming increasingly frustrating.

I am sure this is a software thing, but when I use voice dictation in a text message it just continues to listen even after I hit send... so if I start talking to someone else it is dictating my conversation the entire time. Sometimes that is hilarious, but when driving it is a bit annoying. Any way to force it to stop after I hit the send button?
Also, how the heck can I use the voice app to send the message without actually touching the phone? (I know that is off topic, so feel free to ignore or delete this). PM me if you prefer to keep this on topic.

No issues adding your question and I don't use voice dictation so I'm not sure.
Is no one able to add insight on the buffer bar issues in the video player? My searches are returning no results.

I have the same issues, had them on CM10 and Synergy

if you used swiftkey and used the "learn from facebook/twitter/gmail" function, sometimes it messes it up and you can unlearn those things in the swiftkey settings app. or you can switch from auto-correct mode to precise mode. and as for the browser buffer, you can use third party browsers from play store... if that wont work you may want to flash a different rom, custom or stock...

Samsung Interface Not Updating

All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.

Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.

[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.

Strange behavior of Clock (Alarm) and Pixel Stand apps

After April update I bumped several times into new strange behavior of Clock app in Alarm section - it shows blank screen and it stops creating new alarms until reboot. I tried to switch between screens of the App, shot it down and relaunched, but with no luck. It happens not every time, but at least a couple times. At least twice after a message that Stand App stopped work. I put my P3 at stand and when I needed to set alarm, it did two things in different order - showed blank Alarm screen and a message that Stand App stopped working. Can not say for sure it's connected. I don't use Assistant for setting alarms after it sets alarm for the next day. Luckily I woke up myself and decided not to take risks with artificial intelligence - look like it tries to be too smart for such a simple task, so not sure if the same problem can arise with Assistant.
Just wondering if anybody's got similar problem and fixed it?
