Wallpaper lag coming from lockscreen? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
When unlocking the device there's like 1 sec lag between when the icons appear and when the wallpaper appears.
It's nothing major but it happens on every launcher (also on stock), it's just annoying to unlock - see the icons on the home screen - see like a short flash where the wallpaper appears.
Does anyone else xperia the same?

It's apparently not the case for all wallpapers, I'm currently using a LWP called "Neon Microcosm" and there is no loading lag after unlocking

I got same experience on XZ2 but it s not 1 sec for me it looks Fade-in animation for me
it s because of system UI (so different launcher doesn't effect wallpaper loads in system framework)
If you think this is not normal and unusual delay you can Repair firmware by PC companion
:good:

I saw the same behavior with stock wallpapers but changed to an all black wallpaper (habit from amoled screens) and can't see it anymore.

I have a dark wallpaper too, but I'd really not want to use a completely black one

I have the same here. Very annoying.

I'm also getting the same. Not always though. I think it happens when you wake up the phone from deep sleep.

Does the size of wallpaper affect on the delay? I want to use wallpaper from note 4 and it is 2k resolution. will it consume more battery or have delay?

This is also happening on the bigger Z3.
Any fix?

Found a hack. I just put an all black lockscreen wallpaper so when i unlock, the home screen wallpaper fades in like it used to. Looks cool.

Mine doesn't have this problem.

I've got the same little problem on my Z3. What I noticed is not only the wallpaper lags a bit also the three buttons at the bottom (they replace the camera icon on the lockscreen). It happens when I use the Xperia wallpapers. I'm using plain black wallpaper now and everything seems to be ok.

Wallpaper lags because Sony's power management kills wallpaper apps when the screen is off.
Bring up the wallpaper app (mine is 500 firepaper) in running processes then turn off the screen, wait a minute, turn back on and unlock. The wallpaper app will show not active for several seconds after the unlock.

So there is no solution for that?
For me happens only when I replace Xperia themes with an image for lock screen

Use live wallpaper as background in lock pattern

Good night.
I have been researching this subject for a while and I find no solution.
I would like the pattern lock screen in my S2 to show my live wallpaper (or a different lwp) instead of a regular image.
The new S3 pulls this out easily. How can I have this in the S2? I. tried several launchers but they do not change this option.
Best regards
Before your S3 I dont see any similar option in a stock lockscreen. Maybe a third-party lockscreen app can do this trick. Such as the GO locker may introduce some animated components, but I'm not sure if lwp work.
Anyway, most people want to start using their devices immediately, so I dont see a point why to stare at the lock screen for minutes.

I have an S2.I wish to use a live wallpaper as a background in pattern lock. go locker does NOT solve this.
s2 does not allow me but it it possible in s3.so its a software issue.
how can I solve this limitation?
is there a tweak?

Then try ripple lock or widget locker. I googled, no guarantee.

none of those have pattern lock.if you have pattern lock you must unlock first widget lock and then the pattern.
and the pattern went have the live wallpaper background.
how can I put the pattern lock with a lwp background like the s3 then?
any thoughts anyone?
thanks

You should go to settings___ display ___ wallpaper
and choose lock and home wallpaper then you'll see

how can i make the home screen and lock screen use live wall paper

Not sure if it's possible.
But you should ask yourself this:
You look at the lock screen like a few seconds every time, what's the point of having a live wallpaper. Because of that you will only have more topics about the battery sucking.
i had live wallpaper in lock screen untill i changed theme now i cant get it back
the stock lockscreen i.e. UxpNxtLockScreen.apk cannot set live wallpaper.
you can delete it after rooting, then lockscreen becomes the one of stock home.apk.
or try other lockscreen app possible.

[Q] Clouds floating above home screen after unlock - what are they?

Picture attached
I'm running Gummy's AOSP nightlies (wonderful rom) and after I unlock (knock), I have clouds floating above all the other layers. They appear for 3-4 seconds and then disappear on their own OR I have to touch I have to touch the screen to get rid of them before I can interact with the 'desktop'.
I can't figure out for the life of me what the heck is controlling this or how to turn it off. It's on any static or live wallpaper, or theme I try and even across home apps (I use Nova Prime, but it happens on Google Now and Trebuchet).
I removed all weather apps and it still happens. I've got tons of other apps, but I'm hoping someone knows what this is before I start from scratch and build up.
Anyone know what this annoying cloud is? I swear I've searched for days and can't find a mention of it.

By chance do you have Beautiful Widgets? There is an unlock animation option in it that reflects the current weather.

[Q] delay in loading wallpaper ... ...

Every time I turn on the device, after getting out of the lockscreen to the home screen, there is always a delay in loading the wallpaper.... The wallpaper stays black for a second then loads itself; all the items in the homescreen are there, just the wallpaper is a bit delayed...
Mine is Xperia Z1 LB, I tried several stock based roms, launchers, different wallpapers.... same result...
Anybody else is experiencing that, or its just my device....

Didn't notice that the live wallpaper doesn't have the delay.... Guess I'll just start using live wallpaper.
but isn't it weird, live wallpaper should take memory and hence more time to load?
there has to be a fix for this...
Is there an app to get my static picture into a live wallpaper?
Maybe on of the gyroscope 3d effect ones?

Thanks for the hint.

Isn't there a better way, lol...

Lockscreen notification drawer lag after Android 9 update

I noticed if I use the default infinity wallpapers, when you swipe down the notification drawer from the lockscreen it's a smooth animation
However when I use a different wallpaper, even the samsung wallpapers as long as it's not infinity branded, swiping down the notification drawer from the losckreen is jittery and slow. It doesn't happen on the main home screen. Only the lockscreen
Anyone else having the same issue? Mine's an Exynos variant Note 9
Yes I have noticed It too, i wonder if there is somthing to do about it..

I've downloaded the Walloop Engine app from the Play Store, which gives you the ability to set the live wallpaper as your homescreen/lockscreen wallpaper. For some reason, lockscreen notification drawer doesn't lag if you set a live wallpaper. I have no idea how Samsung managed to produce such a silly bug with static wallpapers.
I also have found that if you set your screen display to WQHD the animation on the lock screen will be laggy and will stutter and even sometimes on the home screen itself and if you put the screen display on FHD+ the animation will run smooth.
Check it out and tell me If the same problem happen to you too.

I notice this issue only on lockscreen, but yeah, it happens only on WQHD resolution and only with static wallpapers. Infinity wallpapers and live wallpapers are not causing any issues, regardless of resolution. So, to sum up:
HD/FHD resolution: no lag, we can use any wallpaper
WQHD resolution: notification drawer lags with static wallpapers, but doesn't lag with infinity/live wallpapers
