X10 Clock problem Losing time

Hi - Has anyone else experienced problems with the clock not keeping proper time when it's set to use the network time?? Anyone got any ideas how to fix this, other than just switching it to manual? (I'm sure manual time setting is fine.. but they gave me a feature.. so I want to use it!!!)

Mine lags behind by 10 minutes if I turn on network time..

Mmmm. odd! Mines 7 mins behind now.. ! Incidently - What's the "XDA Mobile App" and where'd you get it from?

Yeh, I noticed this and disabled it. My old G900 was always 5 minutes behind when it tried to sync to network time (Telia in Sweden)

Mine is perfectly synced. Could be a provider problem and not because of the phone!

Mine started acting funny a few days ago. So i switched it from using network to manual and it is fine, which is weird.

Yeah i found that after i debranded my phone it no longer kept in proper time with the operator. I set the time myself last night and then changed it back to "automatic" and after i don't know how long it eventually lagged behind by between 7 and 10 minutes. Glad i'm not the only one though. Any solutions yet?

In my case the phone time went completely off when I installed a task killer app. Seems like the task killer prevented the clock from working properly. after uninstalling the app, everything went back to normal. =)

It just happened to me. Has anyone found a resolution beside manually setting the time?

With what are you comparing the X10's clock that you conclude X10's clock is lagging? Hopefully not your wall clock / wrist watch
I bought my X10i SIM free, then debranded it. My PC's clock is synchronised with the internet clock and the X10i with the operator's clock (Vodafone UK). So far the X10i has kept up with the time on my PC, haven't noticed any lagging unless I overlooked something else.

Just search the Market for "XDA". And easily googled just by typing XDA mobile app. I bet you didn't try that first, did you

By looking at my manual Rolex, of course. No. It was by comparing with Windows. it just caught my eyes at that moment

If you have a Task Killer installed... maybe it kills clock proceses... if not i dont know why it freezes...
In task killer add clock to ignore list...

I think its your providers network that's affecting it. I had this problems a few days ago but now its gone. I Have task manager installed and debranded the phone.

Hi, this is definitely an issue with device. I haven't debranded the phone, only unlocked it. I have confirmed the time with other phones on same network, its only mine that is behind 4-7 min at times. Nothing to do with debranding as I haven't done so.

+1, I had same problem

Hi - I'm the OP for this thread.... I don't have a task killer installed anymore (wasn't helping).. and the problem is still there - c.7 mins out.. consistently.. I'm guessing that it's because my handset was purchased new as an unbranded handset, on Vodafone provider.. must be something to do with the phone hooks into the network? I've left it set to manual time..

How bout this 1..
The time i put in manually workz fine in the corner however the digital clock widget endz up ahead. Like right now itz bout 8mins ahead.. the last time i switched it on was probably around 8hrz an all?

im on vodafone uk aswell and mine is lagging by 12 minutes at the moment :S i also have a problem with my alarm clock, which goes off only when it feels like it!

i have this problem with satio ,not x10

Yep, having this issue as well. Never encountered any similar issues with any other phone, using same network, at same time, in same locations. But my X10 loses time every day, by varying amounts. Always seems related to going into 2G network, and poor reception.
I sent a mail to Sony Ericsson support but no reply.

[Q] (Android) Skype on HD2 - Success/Fail stories ?

Recently Skype has made their app finally available to the world.
Now it can work over WiFi.
(Find on their website or market)
I've tried it on NexusOne and it seems to work. Signs in (when their servers are not overloaded) and even makes calls (for free between online skype users).
On HD2 Android builds the story is different:
App installed and signs in, but will force close immediately at any attempt to do more than scrolling the list of contacts.
What are your experiences?
Edit: Could it be related to LCD Density? Or compatibility Mode?

I couldn not even sign in.It says can not conect and will forse close

it works fine for me.. but that is because i use the app from 3 uk.. but yeah no problems at all.. as they have the Desire in their device portfolio i just browsed to their website from a desire build and installed it..

No problems for me.it works perfect. I have darkstone's v3.1 version.i have download it from market

***nevermind.. it was on the market.. thanks anyways

Do you use the default 240 LCD Density?
Ever since it's possible to increase it I've been use 16 or 180.
I am at the moment with NexusHD2 (2.2.1) build and I will try playing with another build later today, possibly it's an issue with Android 2.2.1.

Skype's working fine for me with Froyostone 3.1 (Desire) with Hastarin 7.1. First time I tried to login it gave an error for login, but I noticed it had to do with my internet connection which was already unstable both via 3G as well as WiFi. I updated my radio from 2.12.50.02 to 2.14.50.04 and now it works fine.
Sound is very clear and all features like skype credits and online numbers work properly. No videocalling yet, but hopefully we can expect it soon...
Thumbs up for Skype!

I installed it and everything worked perfectly...I was a little peeved to find out that it did not work over 3G so I uninstalled it.
Then I decided to reinstall it and wait it out for an update when we can make calls over 3G...now it will not even sign in....any ideas?

No problems for me. It works perfect.
RReckless

Eventually got it to login today.
Keep getting force close messages, especially when selecting the Details tab!
Ho hum...

Works perfectly.

Sometimes i cant hear the people talking but they can hear me and if i want to reboot it it takes along time to exit the app and right after that i will get an error to force close the app.
But when it works i can hear everyone clearlly and without any LAG.

Just reverted to 240 and it got working.
But I hate such big density on the hd2. That's the reason I avoid sense builds to make the most from the big screen :-(
Better use nimbuzz.

For more detail...
Skype works perfectly. I called my cousin overseas on Skype, he answered on his Nexus One. Sound was clear, with very little delay. Answering calls is a bit awkward because I was juggling it but in the end it was easy. being logged on to Skype increases battery drain, unfortunately. I went from 5mA standby to 45mA
Only one problem.
The screen was acting funny during the call when I held it to my ear. I'd move it back and forth to get it to turn off the screen. Sometimes it wouldn't, sometimes it would go dark but not turn off the backlight, sometimes it would.
Anyway, all of this is the app's problem, just need to wait for patches

I can't find it on market, and when i try downloading it from the skype website it says that it is not available for my device ??!? I'm using HyperDroid 1.5
I'm from Morocco, if there 's a restriction by country I do not see why it does not work from their website

A hacked Skype was recently released, allowing you to use 3G. check Engadget for more info.

i'm running mattc's 1.8 with r7.2 kernal, 2.14 radio and energy wm rom. the app loads fine and setup ok. on my first and so far only call i could hear the other party but they could not hear me. the connection sounded very bad and i called back not using skype. that was over 3g so i don't know if i just had a not so strong signal or if it was something else. going to try on wifi and retry on 3g somewhere else. will update results.

Can you guys quit skype or stop it from running? seems to be leeching my battery power..

Downloading from market, still having problems here!

this doesnt work for me anymore. i cleared cache, restarted, mount and unmounded
but nothing works anymore

and what do you mean: check the folders?

The same problem with Samsung Galaxy S. Sometimes works, sometimes does not. Sometimes clearing cash helps, sometimes not. Sometimes restart of the phone helps, sometimes not.
I think this is the general problem of Android 2.2 devices.

For me, it has actually turned data off. I have had to go to settings and turn it back on.
Today, I had to set WCDMA only for it to work. On GSM or WCDMA it showed a 3G connection, but no data would actually pass... how can that be?

I read other devices and ROM's are facing similar issues currently so I really think the Market is just unstable right now

I have try everything as well and no luck at all? It is the system problem or the market is down??

I've tried all that and still can't download. Was working fine earlier this morning, and yesterday

One app got installed a few hours back. However, just tried another app which does not get installed.
Glad to hear more people have market issues, that makes a general market problem more likely...

Thread closed....I thought the " Known issues on HTC Desire HD....post your problems or issues here" was created for these type of concerns.

HTC Sense still dead?

I was wondering if everyone still experiences the same. My account on sense was working ok on the first week when I received my phone in Noember, especially in detecting location but after hard-resetting, it stopped working. Ever since, my location is always detected in the sea as it was reported by most users in the past. The strange thing is that it was correctly detected before reset.
The ringer works ok now but I tried to test the lock phone feature. What happened is that my phone wasn't locked at all but on HTC sense web site it always shows the phone as locked. No way to unlock it from there.
HTC support has told me 3 months ago that sense is still in development. I wonder if it is still in development and if it will be forever.
Can anyone detect location correctly and use the lock phone feature?

I had the same problems. I bought this app https://market.android.com/details?id=org.gtmedia.seekdroid works great

Yep, i've been having problems with HTCsense.com, not been working for me at all.

Thanks. I tried it and it works great.
I wonder why can't HTC make something similar. Those guys give it for £1 and HTC earns so much money and can't do it.

HTC are good at making packaged phone OS from another OEM OS provider, but having a client/server feature they are still learning. What is worst is that they continue to advertise the HTC Sense as a major feature, but they can't get it to work and keep saying it is in development.
HTC better clean up their act on this as this could be cause for owners to jump to another hardware manufacturer.

Everything works for me except phone finder

Car Mode!!

My phone keeps deciding to go into car mode of its own accord!
This is both on MIUI and LeeDrOiD.
The phone also automatically goes into speaker phone mode whenever I make or receive a call.
Is there any way to disable car mode, or is there a hardware problem with my phone?
Cheers

I'm having the same problem, if you go into setting, car dock, you can uncheck "auto launch car dock" or something similar. It will stop it from entering car mode, but it will still default the speaker to on.
Delivered mine back at the shop today, they hadn't seen it before, but guessed it was a HW problem.

Just changed to AlienMinds CM7 and the problem has disappeared. Hopefully if I go back to sense it will stay fixed!

Mine does the samething doesnt matter what rom i use...sense, cm7 based they do the same thing. I know im in the wrong phone section since i have a g2(vision). But it was the only thread that had to do with my problem. Plz and thanks in advance.

I don't what happen but it went away for me but I thinks it hardware related also.

I'm not too sure about why it keeps shifting to Car Mode, but as far as the activation of the speaker every time you get a call, all I can say is that, that's what it supposed to do anyway when in Car Mode.
If, for any reason, you had that problem even when your DHD was not in car mode, my guess would be that there's something up with either your gyroscope or with your proximity sensor.

I killed Car Mode and got away with it
Car Mode would pop up constantly on my HTC Incredible 2. It had nothing to do with the usb. Most times, the phone wasn't even plugged it and Car Mode would still pop up and Yes, I could click on it and disable it. For about 5 secs, then it was back. The worst part was that it would force-close the program that I was in to launch. It took me about 8 hours of research. Car Mode is a system app, and therefore can not be removed like other applications. You have to root your phone then delete, freeze or rename. Ok by me, but rooting apparently isn't stable yet for the Incredible 2 if you have a later os version than 2.2. Guess what? I have 2.3. No problem, how do i revert. Oh, i find out, you can't without resetting the phone to factory, which by the way is what verizon support suggested. I thought not before I back up, but lo and behold you can't back up more than contacts and pics without rooting. Arrrrgh! Next, I looked for an app to help me battle this devil Car Mode, so I tried apps from Amazon and market:
Advanced task killer Free
Astro
Gemini App Manager
Dock Nothingness
Dock no-op
Disable car home
and NONE of them worked, at least not for the Incredible 2.
I had a new idea, if you can't beat them, join them so I installed the latest version of Car Dock Home, hoping that at least it would give the option to not launch. Nope, didn't work. Luckily, I'm good at my job just because I don't give me 'easily'. Anyway, finally on my 14th try, I used 'DockNothing Free' from Amazon. At first, I didn't think this worked either. There was no input screen or settings but that's because the app doesn't initiate until the Car Mode launches, then it allows you to choose to select DockNothing as the default program. I had to do that 3 times: 1) Car Panel 2)Car Dock 3)Home Dock. Now I actually see a little popup that says 3 tasks killed. YEA!
Sorry for the long post, but I'll bet if you're here, you are going crazy because of Car Mode. And I read a lot more than just this much to get mine fixed.
ps. Car Mode actually looks pretty neat and seems useful IN THE CAR. But I have been too afraid to release the monster to check it out. I might at the next update. Might....

Well, got mine back.. they had only done a factory reset and an update, and now the problem is gone. So I guess atleast for my case it was software related..
The funny thing is, I did a factory reset, and had the latest update before I delivered mine for service.

have the same issue with my dhd.
in many geman forums you find the hint that is has something to do with a broken micro-usb and the dhd can't reognize if its plugged in to a dock, or not.
If i plug in a sumple usb-charging-cable neither the car dock starts nor the loudspeaker would turn up.
i took a good look on my micro usb slot and couln't find anything strange.
Anyway, i cleaned it up very well and removed any little fuzz i found.
But i still have this issue.
has anyone an idea how the dhd recognizes if its plugged to an dock or an charging cable???
thats seems to be the key to the Problem

Possible soultion

maybe a possible solution, but as you mentioned i'm afraid to make it even worst.
so, as long as i have guarantee on it i think i bring it to a dealer to send it back to HTC, maybe i'll get a brand new phone, though it ****s me up to have it wiped after that.
