Hey guys,
So as an attendee to IO, I got a 10.1 tab; only problem is it was using the European time zone and for whatever reason used my google account settings which told it to automatically pull down the time from the servers (which would then report an incorrect time due to the incorrect time zone). I guess there's some kind of bug in the settings for the tab as it's missing the option to turn off automatic time, so I was left with a tab that had the incorrect time and could not be set.
So I wrote an android app that manually over-rides the automatic time setting, and it worked like a charm. If anyone else out there is having this issue, I have an apk file on hand that you can use to unlock your tab's time. Just make a post here and I'll try and get back to you asap.
I'd love to get that .apk. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for the fix. I bet most of us here still don't have the device yet, to benefit from your work. But we would appreciate if you could post your impressions about the device
i would love to get my hands on that I was frustrated at this unfortunate bug :-/ luckily during the conference it was the right time but now I need east coast time.
Apparently you can wipe to fix it but would rather not
I had this problem as well.
It is a bug in the pre-release software supposedly. You can download timezone changer from the market to fix.

Mine worked well until I attached the tab to Exchange. At that point it switched to GMT and locked me out of the setting. The Time Zone Corrector seemed to fix the problem.
I hope that 3.1 update comes as soon as they indicated it would... I don't know if I'm optimistic about it though.
Ah OK there you go. Interesting bug though, it didn't happen to a friend who got a tab as well, so some of you might be fine.
Could use apk, if its still available. Thanks
Well I need to make 8 posts to post a link... so you're going to have to make this link for yourselves:
http : // appliedanalog . com / downloads / SetTime . apk
All this program does is disable automatic time zones and clocks on your device.

Edit: Awesome, thank you so much for the unlock of automatic time zone. worked perfectly.

Worked great for unlocking but I notice the time zone still resets every time you reboot. Is this the same for everyone?
I think there is an easier way, with a non-apk to do it. When I was going through the settings, i ran across an area to set locale. Since I didn't have to change the locale (PDT), I didn't go into the settings. If I can find it again, I'll post where it is.
N/M. The locale setting I saw in the samsung apps, you can reset the locale on it, but it doesn't do anything.

If it is resetting (I've not tried this on mine) it'll be because it is pulling the time down from online. I ended up doing a factory restore today to fix the time zone.
On a separate issue I was having a partial success using XJNB to sync files with my Mac (see my 'first impressions' blog post post at surfsoftconsulting.com) but since the factory restore this has stopped working completely.
Other issues I have noticed:
Samsung browser is still very buggy compared to the vanilla Android browser. It crashes less than the one on the Galaxy Tab 7" but frequently fails to redraw large areas of the page when scrolling.
Using the camera forces bluetooth to be turned off.
Plugging the Galaxy Tab into a computer for sync forces bluetooth to be turned off.
Can't mount the (virtual) SD card as a drive on the computer you plug the tablet in to - you can only use the (buggy) MTP implementation called 'Kies'.
On the plus side:
Stock keyboard (not the default Samsung one) is good, I can almost touch-type.
I watched about 4.5 hours of DivX video and played about 3 hours of music during my 10 hour flight back to the UK and the battery was still 35% full on landing.
Thanks for the fix! I thought I was going crazy!!

Hi guys and girls,
Been using WP7 about a week now and one niggling little issue is doing my head in. Sorry if it has been mentioned before or is covered under some other issue, I did try a search and got nothing relating to it.
My issue; the clock on the phone keeps jumping to random times.
I am using YukiXDA latest build and could find nothing relating to this isue there either.
Would like to know if others have had this problem and what have they tried to remedy it?
Is it a ROM issue or is it a hardware issue?
Okay, An update
This is happening when I reboot the device.
Is there something in settings that I am missing, or is there a registry setting I can change?
do you have your "date & time" settings set automatically?
Yes

Yes time setting is automatic, even tried setting it in the registry.
It got that bad yesterday my phone reset itself to Jan 1980.
It sounds like the battery *may* be ****ed up, I have no idea about the htc hd2 (I've only had mine for a couple of months), but on my old phone(s), some of them have had that "time resetting" too, and the people at the tech support said the battery needed to be replaced.
Sorry for hijacking your thread:
I have a similar error with my phone (yukixda v4):
If I send myself a text message at say... 01:35... it's sent 01:35, but the one i recieve has the timestamp at 01:34... this is both with and without automatic time settings..
any ideas?

Truth is no matter what is causing this... TWO big issues for me when choosing a phone software set up.
The phone knows what freakin time and date itis
The phone nor the software on should destroy batteries
but thanks guys it really was fun to play with.
Don't use automatic, mine does the same if I set to automatic.
I thought it was something with Giffgaff as I would set automatic and the time would be right but later on during the day it would be some crazy time and date.
Set to manual and your clock will be fine
dunno about any of that but, i do know that if i boot in to MAGLDR is gets buggered up, doesnt matter if the time is manually set or auto set, it always buggers up, dont boot to it and all is good
, at least for me anyway
I'm having the same issues. Time and sometimes dates getting screwed up. Only started happening to me about a couple of weeks ago now. But it's frustrating at the least. I've switched mine to manual setting at the moment. Gonna see how it goes over the next week.
One thing though, it isn't happening to my wife's HD2. She is using the older version of WP7, I'm currently on Yuki's more recent NODO version...
as per my post above yours if you use magldr or even the bootloader it gets messed up, so dual booting droid may be a reason, or using bootloader / magldr to charge, other than that i dont have this issue
Not got dual-boot on my phone, neither do U boot to magldr to charge... But it's happening to my phone every few days so far. Today it was out by 28mins. I want to see if having it on manual time/date does any better...
i also have a problem with my hd2,
9 times out of 10 when i reboot the phone the time and date will be wrong with no pattern i can spot (started to do this out of the blue- no updates or new roms).
im currently running with a cooked win mo image and android on the sd card.
battery still has a respectable life although seems to run out quicker than it once did so i may purchase a new one. (the old one is just over 12 months old)
also my phone has started to freeze on pin request after receiving a text so im gonna try a new image too
if anyone else has seen problems like these and solved them drop a noobie a helping hand pleeeeaaasseeee....
It's not HD2 related
The same issue happens to me (phone jump approximately 36 hours foward randomly)
The phone was a LG Optimus 7 on official rom but never managed to fix this issue (automatic date or not)

I have the same issue! It happened some months after flashing xboxmods v. 1.11 Rom. It can't be a battery problem because I use 3 different batterys ^^
Hey,
I have a major problem for a couple of weeks now. My phone just keeps waking up randomly and turns the screen on by itself. I have root and s-off and tried out a few roms. Sense Roms as well as MIUI roms... It does not make a difference at all, so I guess it can't be rom related. I have read a few more posts on the web of users having a similar problem but there was no solution given anywhere.
Also, my speaker automatically turns on when I receive or make a call. These two problems seem interconnected since there is at least one person on xda having exactly the same two issues...
Does anybody have an idea or a solution for this? I would be thankful for any kind of help! Thank you in advance!!!
I've a similar problem a bunch of months ago, my phone turn on automatically, without no logic. I've resolved the problem pulling out the battery for a night, after that the problem disappeared.
I hope that will help you to resolve your problem,
Rodomar705
Thanks, I will try that out tonight and report!
Ok, I tried it out last night, but it did not work
Does anybody have a different idea?

Did you check the date and time once you'd insert battery inside DHD? I think to solve the problem that way, you should leave DHD without battery until the internal battery will be totally discharged. It takes approx. 12-14 hours, and you can be sure only if turning on DHD you'll find time and date set to 12:00am, 1st jan 1980 (or something like that).
Yeah, it definately worked though, time was resetted as well. I turned it in today, hope to be able to pick it up next week. Before, I ran the Ruu to set it back to shipping condition... It still had the same error, so it is definately not rom related...
It is a huge drag without it... Already feeling uncomfortable ^^

Sorry mate!! Just wait for a week, ist not so long time, and you'll get back your phone as new as when you bought first time!! Hope this makes you feel a little bit of joy!!
Ok, I have gotten my phone back on thursday (after one week)...
SO far so good, everything worked again, they even set the proximity sensor right again... Then I rerooted it and put another MIUI on it...
On friday then, I put Vipermod back in and undervolted it by 50 mA... BOOM, the issue came back, I couldn't remove it, so I took the battery out and waited for 12 hours, as you suggested... and it worked... Issue was gone... Then I ran vipermod again and BOOM the issue was there again... It didn't even help to set the mA values back to normal, I had to reset it again by taking out the battery for 12 hours.
So my conclusion is that this issue is directly related to the actual USE (not just the installation) of vipermod... Can anyone confirm? Don't want to put out false information in the vipermod thread without having others to confirm...
need help also

If changing the ROM didn't help then it is an app issue. One of your apps is causing it. Time to look deeper
I have exactly the same issue! Also with the speaker sometimes. Really annoying. If an app is causing it, how can we find out which one? I'm using ARHD 6.1.0, but I've had the issue with older versions of the ROM too (with the same apps installed).

Only way to find out is to test them one by one by reinstalling them one at a time
Since upgrading to Android Revolution HD 6.0 and now 6.1, pretty frequently (3 or 4 times a day) my phone will automatically reboot and then get stuck in a bootloop process. Taking the battery out gets it all up and running again but its pretty annoying and drains the battery when I don't know its doing it in my pocket
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Actually, I have the same, but since 6.1.1. And I noticed it's not exactly a bootloop. It looks like a hot restart but then the ROM won't show.

Mine kept on waking in my pocket, trying to access the locations app. Flashed virtuous unity instead and find it superior in almost every way. Personal opinion only mind, but I did think arhd was very nice though
i also facing the same problem.. have u all tried to voice out in ARHD thread?
I couldn't at the time because of the ten posts required rule, by the time I'd got enough I was on a new ROM and had forgot to be honest. Plus I reckon my problem was caused by me trying to restore app data through titanium rather than a fault in the ROM itself but then again I could bee wrong... But I did try to find solutions to the problem in the forums and didn't find anything similar to my problem to no avail, not even anyone with something similar so I just moved on figuring that it was probably for the best. Worked out better for me in the end cause I got more practice flashing roms, learned not to try to batch restore apps just in case and learned the benefit of backing up your nice shiny new working ROM
Happened to me once while I was on 5.2.6. It's to do with the date and time setting. Try untick "automatic" and set the time and date manually. Once you manage to shut down your phone you can retick the the automatic option
maybe your phone cant Handel the overclock? try flashing the script to return the CPU to default settings in the same thread you got the ROM from.

Thanks. I'll give it a go. Sorry for not replying to all your help before. For some reason I didn't receive the emails saying replies had been posted on my question
Hi everybody, I have a Moto X Pure (XT1575) with Stock ROM 6.0, and I'm having this weird issue. Every time I play some video on fullscreen, no matter what app, display turns off after a few seconds... And what's weirder, audio never stops playing and if I move the phone a little bit, screen turns on again... It's like the compass or gyro sensor has something to do with it... I was thinking about Moto app being responsible for this, so I turned on and off every option related to the Screen over there, in every possible combination...
Any other person with this rare issue??
Greetings!
did you solve your problem? I have the same issue as you. would you like to share your experience please?
I get this issue every once in a while. I just solve it by restarting the device. I am not sure what triggers it. I watch a lot of video on my phone every day and this only happens maybe once or twice a month. A google search will show that its been a known issue for a long time now.

No problem. In other forums people have suggested turning off Moto display and/or adaptive brightness but that has not worked for me. It still keeps happening occasionally. I Hope it's something that will be fixed in Android 7.
hope so, but it still need waiting for several months , and since my phone is Asian version, I guess I have to wait for much longer times... if your problem is solved after updating to 7.0, would you please to let me know? thank you!
