Single Lockscreen for notifications and clock

Hey there,

I recently upgraded from the SGS3 to the SGS4.

I realize that everytime I get a new text message, I have to swipe across the lockscreen (the one with the clock) to get to the message notification widget. Thats seems a bit odd to me, coming from the notification bubbles on SGS3.

Is there a way I can get notification bubbles (I know its a long shot) or possibly the notification for a new message on the same lockscreen as the clock is?

I do not want two separate lockscreens for the clock and the notifications.

I tried deleting the clock lockscreen, but it just keeps coming back.

It seems like everytime I get a new message, I have no option but to have two lockscreens.

Is there a solution to this ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

Have you considered a third party app like GoSMS?

You can choose all sorts of lockscreen settings to suit your needs.

Date/Time bug?

Hello, I'm a noob and I have an issue regarding my S4's date and time not being persistent after each reboot.

It always restarts to 10.02.1970 or something like that. I've looked around everywhere but no look finding any solutions.

I've previously mucked around a bit with the omega and wanamlite roms using PhilZ to flash and all.

Yeah, I'm pretty much stumped. Had this issue for a few months now. So any comments would be appreciated! :D

Thanks for your time.

Screen Issue

Does anyone else have an issue with the screen on the I9505, I can't actually get a picture on the screen. When you press the power key it just displays a yellow bar along the middle which flashes and then turns off. Pulling the battery out doesn't fix it, the last time I put it into safe mode somehow.

I am still struggling with this problem. The motochopper root apparently works, but am likely to brick my phone (i9508, China Mobile variant with the same Qualcomm tech as i9505) if I try to apply the i9505 firmware on it? My problem is I can't access Google Play Store, only a Chinese app market that came with the phone. Basically I have no apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You need a custom kernel that allows overclocking, maybe Tegrak will support the Qualcomm in the future so you will also be able to overclock/undervolt the stock kernel.

[help] Wifi Issue

My s4 I9500 has been working fine until 2 days ago when the wifi started reconnecting every few seconds. I'm not sure what the problem is and I cannot find a solution for this. I have read the issues with the D-Link routers however I use a Netgear router and all devices except the galaxy s4 can connect fine without any issues. It started happening after my phone automatically updated to version: I9500UBUAMDK, but I am not sure if it has to do with software.

To go in depth, when i connect to my home network, it sends and receives data fine for literately only 20 seconds, then gets very slow to the point where the wifi is connected but doesn't receive data, then disconnects. However the wifi reconnects instantly and the cycle goes on. If anyone knows for a fix to this annoying issue, please tell me :) Thank you.

No unread text message count badge?

I have an i337 GS4-32. I swapped out a GS4-16 a couple of days ago for the 32. I've been busy customizing the new GS4-32 and have disabled a number of the stock AT&T system apps like AT&T drive mode, AT&T locker, AT&T messages, etc. I'm using the Nova prime launcher.

Q1: My stock messaging app is not showing the unread count. I seem to recall the GS4-16 showing the unread msg count in a badge or whatever it's called on top of the app.

Anyone have any idea what I need to do to enable the unread msg count badge on the stock messaging app? I don't find any option for that in the stock text message app settings.

Q2: How can I get around the 10 person limit in group texting? I thought I was restricted on my old Galaxy Proclaim (S720C) with 20 in the group. But 10 with the GS4? Really? I need to send group texts to more than 10 in a sports group I participate in. I've not found Handcent or GoSMS Pro to offer any benefit in circumventing this restriction... at least not on the old Galaxy Proclaim. I'm not sure who or what controls the limit on group texting.

Could anybody shed any light on this problem I'm having. When using my device from 100% battery it switched off at around 25% then when i switched it back on it said I had 2% I have stock rom firmware XXUAMDM. I don't know whether it's because of overheating or a dud battery.

it may be:

- system miss reading battery stats, charge your phone till 100% from low battery level continuously, unplug, battery stats is wiped.

it is good to try wiping cache or reset to factory.

Using Row, but it's only available on custom kernels
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawke84:
Interesting, not come across row before:

Quote:ROW:- ROW stands for "READ Over WRITE"which is the main requests dispatch policy of this algorithm. The ROW IO scheduler was developed with the mobile devices needs in mind. In mobile devices we favor user experience upon everything else,thus we want to give READ IO requests as much priority as possible. In mobile devices we won¡¯t have as much parallel threads as on desktops. Usually it¡¯s a single thread or at most 2 simultaneous working threads for read & write. Favoring READ requests over WRITEs decreases the READ latency greatly.The main idea of the ROW scheduling policy is: If there are READ requests in pipe - dispatch them but don't starve the WRITE requests too much. Bellow you¡¯ll find a small comparison of ROW to existing schedulers. The test that was run for these measurements is parallel read and write.
