Lock screen clock update delay - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

anyone else notice that when you turn the screen on after leaving it off for a while the lock screen clock briefly displays the last time from when it was on then quickly updates to the current time? not a big deal or nothing just kinda annoying. only other phone I had that did this was the g2x

I didn't notice it. But the one thing I don't like about the lock screen clock is, that the hour is in bold print , and the minutes isn't .
Anybody like it that way? I think it looks weird.

if your rooted download "lock screen policy" from the play store, there's an option to un-bold the hour text

Wake up lag

Hey, do any of you guys get wake up lag? If i don't wake up my phone for about 3 minutes, and I try and wake it up, it takes a good 3-4 seconds to turn on the screen. is this normal? I am running gingerblur, launcher pro, and a fingerprint sensor, so I don't know if that is what is slowing it down.
yeah its normal i have it too. i returned my atrix for the same reason got the new one right out of the box with the same issue
thanks for the quick reply!! hopefully this will be fixed in a future update...
yep. it got used to it already.
Nope. I have no wakeup lag. I would say that mine takes a fraction of 1 second after I press the power button for the screen to be ready to be unlocked.
are you running everything stock motoblur? and do u have fingerprint setup?
Search button anyone? This topic has been done to death....
3-5 secs lag is too much. I tested this (in 1.86) with//without fingerprint lock, with/without launcher pro, with/without GB 3.5 and although fingerprint and LP seem to add a small lag, no combination that I tested had anything close to 3 secs of lag. The few times I've seen that kind of lag in the couple of months I've owned the phone were far and few between.
Yes, 3 seconds or so is normal, sometimes out doesn't turn on. Tomorrow I'm exchanging for an Infuse.

Don't really have 3 secs, I'd say about 1 or max 2. Go louncher ex removed motoblur widgets, everything else stock and live wallpaper.

Turn off fingerprint sensor and problem solved
I have this problem as well, very annoying. It has happened ever since i first booted it. But its weird, even though the screen is off, its is still responsive and i can feel the screen vibrate when i drag where the unlock bar would be across the screen.
If you are using set cpu in sleep below 500mhz you maybe will get a delay/lag

No lag.
Only when it boots up the first time but that's expected when all my crap is loading up.
I don't use the finger scanner or password or anything just turn on the volume button and its fast no lag.

nexus 7 screen flickering

So this only Happens when I'm on Google chrome and I've noticed that ocassionally that the screen flickers, its not crazy annoying but definitely distracting. Have any of you had this problem?
Hopefully any of you aren't epileptic.

so set and wait.
So I should just wait for a fix and not return it over and over to try to find a good one. It has a year warranty.
I see it too!

I turned off automatic brightness and I think that solved it. I think it was flickering when it was changing brightness.
its still there with auto off.
And with the brightness up but it so slight u have to be ocd like I am about my stuff to see it. But its easy to tell its not hardware because games like sonic CD are beautiful.

It happens to mine when its on the lowest brightness setting of when "auto brightness" is on. For now I've just set the brightness to max so I don't have deal with all the flickering.. for now.

With my settings set to Automatically lock (immediately after sleep) and power button instantly locks with a visible patter screen lock, my Nexus 7 on wake-up [pushing the power button immediately] either right after an invalid pattern code (where device then sleeps) or waiting a few seconds with no activity until the device sleeps (where the Nexus 7 fades to a black screen) will have a delay in bringing up the lock screen OR sort of flicker presenting some sort of black and white bar lines background at the bottom half of the screen for a split second before bringing up the lock screen. Is this normal or it is in fact a defect?
Thanks in advance!
Not sire about that I have seen it in 3rd patty apps on all devices before. But the flicker we are seeing is like it changing the brightness up and down.

As does mine. I think people think it goes away when not on auto, because the "low" setting is about 20-25% and auto will often bring it lower than that, making the flickering worse.
At medium brightness the problem is almost, almost, non-existant.
It's also not just in chrome as some say, just most noticable on chrome's white backgrounds. I've noticed it in any app with lighter, brighter colors. I just exchanged my Nexus 7, and the new one has the exact same problem. This leads me to think the software problem is the most correct answer.
I get it every once in a while. Full brightness set, no automatic. Ill wait for a fix, doesn't bug me too bad.

I suspect it to be a software problem because in game it looks great. Plus in a new device like this software problems go with the territory.

And mine as well I noticed my screen flickered when my batt was getting down to 10% and my brightness level was at about 1/3. But now its charged and I don't see it flickering yet. I don't know...with Chrome having a bug (lags when scrolling) and the flickering screen...I may be returning my unit? I really hate to because aside from my issues, it's an awesome device!
Don't take it back they well fix it with a update.

Night clock & burn-in concern

Hey guys,
I decided that I want to have a simple clock app running at night when my N7 is plugged in. I searched the market and found a lot of options; some with some cool features like "shake or tap to read time" and some with a flashlight built in.
Anyway, do I need to be concerned about "burn-in" with the Nexus 7's screen? (I didn't see any apps where the time bounced around like an old school screensaver on a CRT monitor!) I'm guessing this just isn't an issue with these screens, but I wanted to make sure.
Finally, does anybody have an app they like for this? Or a specific feature to look for?
Thanks!
Billy

I'm happy using the regular clock. It works I landscape, and when you touch the screen, it dims down.

BEWARE !! I just found a burn-in on my screen because of this, and I still don't know if it's going or staying ... damn defects !

I've never noticed my screen "flicker"; does it flash off and on again or what?
Yeah, please clarify what a flicker is... if it only happened a couple times then it probably is related to the apps or maybe a couple things going on at once.
If it is not a constant, consistent problem and had only happened a couple times then perhaps it isn't a problem at all.

I get the flicker but it's definitely app related.
When using Google music app and going to lock screen, the " widget" sort of flickers and stretches throughout the lock screen
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
My screen flickered for a good 5 minutes and even a reboot didn't fix it. I think it's hardware related because if it was software a reboot would have fixed it. Could have been a driver glitch too but I'm pretty sure a reboot would've fixed it. My flickered a lot though saw a bunch of vertical lines and discoloration. Idk if that's what you're talking about.

I use Google Music a lot and I've never seen that. I just tried to replicate it and other than the usual CRT off animation I didn't see anything that I would construe as a flicker or flash.
If you hold your device in front of you with the screen on and look beyond it (i.e. over it's shoulder per say) you can see flicker. Works best in a dark room.
No big deal, but it's there.
I think its a big deal ...you spend your money for a working product..these issues need to be addressed..I thought I could trust LG again but dont think I can anymore

This sounds like a refresh rate issue, which would be hardware, yes?

Sounds like one of those magic eye pictures. If you squint at your screen while holding it at a 45-degree angle in a dark room with brightness turned all the way down and jog in place...
I'm not sure how to replicate it based on what you said, but I still don't see any screen flicker.

Mine started flickering like mad today for the first time. I rebooted, but that didn't fix it. I started up a benchmark app and the flickering stopped after the graphics benchmarks ran. I had to RMA my first Nexus 7 with screen issues too, so I'm hoping this is just a software issue
I don't have this issue at all.

[Q] Has anyone found a PGM replacement?

Hey guys
Long time Galaxy Nexus / Galaxy Note 2 user here.
One of my fave apps was the PGM because it allowed control of the phone without hitting the unlock button to unlock it.
I know the dev (who lives in Poland) hasnt gotten an N4 yet, so he hasnt been able to write the kernel tweak yet.
Anyody found any options?
I have been using the app Sleep Tweak. What it does is if you get a text it wakes the phone but doesn't turn on the screen. If you pick the phone up within X seconds after receiving a text the screen turns on. Same with if the phone times out by itself if you pick it up within X seconds it will turn the screen back on. Not the same I know but it lets me decide whether I want the screen to turn on for a text or something.

No answer for you, but a question..
Wouldn't something like PGM (Nexus) drain the battery? As it would require the screen to be "on" to detect any type of touch from the user?

The battery drain was very minimal on my gnex when i was using it, maybe 5% tops.

No,
Snce it's written into the kernel itself the device still deep sleeps and so the effects on battery are minimal.

5%? No. It's way less than that. When I use it it feels like it has absolutely no impact on battery life because it's a kernel module.
