Sup guys,
Idk if you have been experiencing the same problem as me, but whenever I receive a txt, the timestamp is always 4 hours before the real time. Is there any way to correct this?
yeah mine has been the same way since about 5 this morning. Im rooted with TwistedZero V5. any help is greatly appreciated.
I have experienced the same problem as of around 7 this morning EST. I am going to try to update again
go post this in general or in the thread for the rom
This used to happen on me (I'm in Canada) before 1.5 released.
Are you using cupcake?
If not, you can turn your time zone to +0, or use "Handcent SMS" from the market.
This has happen to me in the past with Tmo, they said it was because of tower maintenance or something it took them about three months to get it right it sucked the whole freakin time. Hope it doesn't take that long for yall
it is tmo because my friend that has a sidekick id is messing up too
You're all overlooking to real cause. Somebody from the past is clearly trying to contact you.
I'm using the Rogers ROM and I'm having the same issue since sometime late last night. I've set my time zone temporarily to Casablanca (GMT+0) and it makes it slightly better, the times are still kinda wacky but it's closer to normal.
I'm in Alabama btw...Birmingham area.
im in mobile,al and its the same here on jachero 1.64

This is clearly the right answer.
(ppsssttt, SMS time stamps are handled by the carrier. Dont tell anyone, guys. It's a SUPER big secret.)

My friend called and asked me why his phone was downloading like crazy. Trying to explain to him how to check for updates is like trying to teach my dogs quantum mechanics...
So has anyone else's phone been downloading something? If so, can you check your DDMS log for a URL to the ZIP?
Are you thinking that maybe the fabled "cupcake" update is coming down from T-Mobile? My phone was syncing like crazy last night...but that's about it.
Please don't joke around with cupcake!
my phone was sync'ing alot last night too

Syncing has nothing to do with it
yea it weird
i have noticed that my phone has been randomly downloading things
Yea i too see it updating. Ive seen it atleast 3 maybe 4 times in the past 24 to 36 hours...after thinking about it its probably NewsRob that was updating articles...
my gf has a stock Droid X and her clock keeps changing randomly an hour back. Is this a known issue? I couldn't find any information googling it. IS there something she needs to change?
anybody? please?
My wife's blackberry did this for one day, then it stopped.
It just might be a random thing.

I have a buddy at Verizon who said a lot of people in my town came in with their phones time jumping an hour forward/back. He said it was because Verizon was screwing with the towers in the town. Either installing a new one or fixing the existing ones. It should stop soon. If not, take it to your store.
IE, by getting a text/notification on their phones and not downloading from the link...can you please post where you are and approximately when you received your notification?
I just want to see if there's any kind of a pattern.
I think some of us prefer to just wait for the notification, rather than download it and have to jump through hoops for one reason or another, and those that haven't gotten it are probably wondering why and when they might.
Thanks in advance.
I'll second that, but my theory is that the server might be going by date of purchase- oldest first... I got my G2 just shy of 2 weeks ago, live in CA and nothing yet-
Just download it and put it on the phone. There are no hoops... it's super easy.
you can follow the instructions in my OTA thread (which was apparently moved to Android Dev.)...
I was going to wait for the OTA update initially but I came to the conclusion that it was going to take a while before I received it...so I updated manually.
Very simple process, nothing can go wrong & you'll notice a great performance boost in the phone itself.

I agree took maybe 10 min to do it all.
i just did mine manually why wait till u receive the update.
in terms of finding out if some1 in ur city has gotten it and what not... as far as i knew from the g1 updates, they were sent out randomly. it didnt matter if u were the 1st person in the world 2 get the phone or last.
this is what i have heard and read from my g1 days. supposedly it was a random thing.
Just got mine about 5 mins ago....Long Beach, CA.

I got mine yesterday... very early. I preordered the G2 so... there might be something to that guess of date of sale. Who knows though? really, just download it from the link. Any newb can do it in like 10-15 minutes. no need to wait...
Its completely random. My wife and two friends got theirs on different days. I just said f it and manually updated

Got mine this morning Friday mornign around 8 or 9am in metro Atlanta
Can't you use the CHECKIN code to force the OTA? My wife just got the G2 a couple days ago, I did the checkin, and within minutes she received the OTA.

If I were T-Mobile, I would actually try to *ensure* that the OTA goes out in a geographically random manner. Geography would be the one of the *last* places I would look for any sort of pattern. It's probably done via IMEI #s.
When I checkin it just says it checked in and that's as far is it goes.

I checked in many times and it doesn't really help unless you have been out of service or had the phone off... it will come to you when its ready checking in doesnt really help any in my case... I checked in over and over and over... this morning on the way to work the update just came... made my morning!

It won't notify you of the OTA until it's done downloading it. To see if it's downloading, go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates. If the checkin works, you should see it downloading there.

This morning I woke up about 10 minutes early by a faint light on the floor, it was my screen on full blast lol, with the words, "Upgrade radio etc etc blah blah." O went ahead and click yes and accept and about 10-15 minutes later it was done.
Havnt noticed anything yet, I hope my once every 2-3 day radio loss will stopp happening. Ill drive home and when I get home my radio will be off (no reception) and airplane mode if off also, nothing has been triggered. Only way to get reception back is to restart. Since it only happens once every 2-5 days I dont consider it a big enough deal to bring in. Especially since i dont have dead pixels and i have a strong hinge.
So I'm on kush's gingerbread using the default messaging app, and I have had a number of texts not go out for up to three days, and have not received some texts until a day late, but there is no rhyme or reason to it as far as I can tell. 3 out of 4 times I send a text and it immediately goes out. But for that 1 out of 4 it makes a ton of confusion with my friends.
Has anyone had a similar problem? I'd like to know if it's Sprint or Rom related. I've just flashed a sense rom, but ughh... sense is ugly, so I'd like to stay aosp. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I keep having the same thing happen to me. If I remember right this happened all the time with AT&T. I've asked at least a dozen Sprint and AT&T employees. No one has been any help. The best answer I've gotten is that its the provider's issure, not the phones software/hardware. Best of luck

I had this same problem and flashed back to sense... updated my PRL and profile and it resolved the problem for me. I was on 60681 and the most update was 60683. Maybe that will help.
Please forgive me I did a search on XDA here in the GS4 forums and on google and could not find any results with my issue, if i did miss it please point me in the right direction "after week getting little agitated".
I have the AT&T i337 32gb version, was rooted running stock last week, on Tuesday all of a sudden I lost the ability to talk on the phone and use data at the same time, which I have been doing for years with AT&T and worked fine on the GS4 the first month or so I had the phone. Odin back to stock multiple resets, APN restores etc... no go. Sooooo did the stupid thing and took the OTA update just to see if was SW issue, of course wast so no more ROM for me. woohoo... took phone to store they messed with for over an hour and couldn't figure it out as well advsd me to call in to tech support which they did stuff for an hour and they couldn't get it either, sent me a warranty replacement. Thank god it came with mdl so before even putting sim in rooted and disabled the OTA update feature. Well after getting new phone set up have the same problem. They have escalated the issue and im supposed to hear something back this evening, i am just curious if there is something i can have them look at on the back haul of things that could be messed up, also I have 2 other phones on my same plan and they are working fine with talking and data simultaneously. Any ideas I can try would be appreciated.
FYI I have loaded the KANGABEAN rom on my device and using it now, but the problem happens on a completely stock ROM, i very seriously doubt i have 2 bad devices in a row doing the excact same thing, ive been wrong before so its very possible just dont see it.
Any advice I would love to hear and try
Thanks
I do know they throttle data while on a call even though they advertise it... I uploaded photos of proof that they throttle and while on a call, data is nearly useless. This has been brought up a few times since I've joined xda in the last two years even when I had an iPhone.

Ahh they servers were different. Here's another pic of me on call on the same server as the second photo (Carlsbad). Download is barely usuable but upload froze and trying to do any data related task on the phone during a call just doesn't work. I guess my question would be is your data not working at all during a call? Try doing a speed test and report back.
Edit: didn't read your post thoroughly lol. If it stopped working all of a sudden maybe it's the towers but that wouldnt explain the other two phones working. Either way I just wanted to put my two cents in about them throttling. Sorry if I wasn't much help.

It has to be something with the towers around my work area... I have about hour commute to the area I work, I work mobile so drive multiple counties and it will work fine till I hit certain spot then nothing. Now just have to figure out how to get att to see it. Thanks for input
If there is anyone around the Kernersville, Walkertown NC area that could test and see if they have the same issue I would appreciate it, I know i cant be the only one
