Black gaps in mobile network bar in battery stats? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone post a battery stats screenshot? I get black gaps in my mobile network bar even though I never have airplane mode enabled. On all other android phones I've owned the mobile indicator bar only had black gaps if airplane mode was enabled...

thanks. I've never used a touchwiz ROM before (installed AOSP on my GS3 from day 1).

The odd one in your screen shot is how you have screen on time but no awake time showing

Yep it's ridiculous that it hasn't been fixed. Just use an app like better battery stats.

Yeah I know but don't like having to install an app that shouldn't be needed, or in less you want to see what is doing the wake locks
I'm safe for now will be on my skyrocket for an other week hopefully getting my S4 on Thursday if att store here still has them

Nexus 4 display and speaker

I usually keep my phones on full brightness. I'll deal with the battery draining because I love how it looks with full brightness. Has anyone noticed the display on the n4 kind of adjusting sometimes. I have noticed sometimes it changes to a little darker or a little brighter while using the phone.
I also noticed when I am talking on the phone with the speaker on sometimes it shuts when opening an application or sometimes even without opening an app and switches to regular ear piece. Sometimes it will stay on speaker but go lower.
Anyone having these issues? Its not a deal breaker or anything I still love it. I know phones will always have their issues, I've had ever nexus and the g1. I just want to know if other people are having this issue.

My guess is glitch hardware. Lg is known for making inconsistent quality. Terrible QA. Just because its made in Korea doesn't means its better than in China.

I don't know how you can use this display on full brightness it's too damn bright! Strains my eyes. lol I tend to keep mine around the 25% mark
It's adaptive contrast, runs independent of your brightness settings and there's not an option to disable it. You probably notice it most when moving from a largely black screen to a white one.
I think I remember first hearing about it's use in a Galaxy S2 review, my TV does the same thing on its dynamic setting.

Lag city :(

I'm running a rooted, cleaned up, stock mf3 ROM and its just terrible in terms of lag. Scrolling anywhere is jerky and awful looking, pulling down the notification shade is like 10 fps sometimes. Is this really the best it can do on touchwiz? My other devices are HTC One GPe, N4, Note 2, etc...
They're all faster! Help!

Honestly I haven't noticed lag, if I were you after attempting to cut down lag, use your warranty.

I am envious. There is no way its a hardware issue. Wake your device and pull the notification shade down quickly. What's it look like?

also set all the animations to 0, it will fly.

My notif bar is always quick when I pull it down, even when I wake the phone from sleep then pull it down ...I think you just have to tweak kernel and rom settings a bit. Or clear cache...dalvik and app data. Quicker then the htc one from att I had..
Thats just your device man. Mine is smooth as butter, and always has been. I would double check to make sure power saving is disabled, and if it is, then your best bet is to factory reset and see if that makes an improvement.
Try @zepplinrox V6-SuperCharger script!!

User error
I had practically no lag out of the box. . . so maybe your phone has a hardware issue.
(since rooting and flashing Shostock2.1, and setting animations to 0 my phone is quick!)
The condition you describe is not normal for our model.
Good Luck
i Had same problems or close to same.
i had phone freezing and also flipping home screen used to freeze I went back stock and re root and flashed custom rom close to stock and i seen no lag
Maybe try some of custom roms ?

I've run about 3 different Roms and I use the gs4 and One daily. The one is quicker. I know from reviews and Google searches I'm not alone in experiencing the lag. Maybe some people are more perseptive to it?
The Google edition ROM was quicker. I already have the Google play edition one though, so I was trying to use touch wiz. I'll see if I can video the lag.

That's the warp drive indicator. If you didn't connect your Bluetooth flux capacitor dongle its not going to do anything.

OK I realize the other guy is joking, but are you serious? I did just enable it before this happens. Why would the screen be locked up?

That icon is for Google Now. Swipe up (on a not frozen tablet) and it launches Now. I would just long press power and turn it back on if it's frozen. Not sure why it froze in the first place though.

Are you by chance using theftspy? I (at least used to) get this a LOT with theftspy... Its app is sitting "on top" but invisible in some cases.
I have restarted several times and went into recovery mode or whatever its called and tried the restart bootloader option and tried going into recovery. When i go into recovery it says (no command).Nothing will unfreeze it.

Got the Note 3 today..

So far I'm loving this phone but holy bloat ware!! I noticed you can't even disable a small amount of it like you can on the S4 like flipboard. Other than that holy crap this is an awesome phone. I thought it was suppose to have 3gb of RAM...mine is barely over 2. I haven't done any searching on it but I think it's normal.

Maybe this isnt what youre wanting to do, but if you open the app drawer and hit the menu button, you can go down to uninstall disable. From there you can disable what looks to be about 60% of the crap that comes installed.

sounds like you have a defective model, you should return it, the rest of us have 3gb of ram:highfive:
Your not actually going to see 3 gigs of ram there is always going to be some used by the system.
