Time Zone Issue - Acer Iconia A500

Every time I reboot my tablet the time zone resets to 0.00. I searched the forum and couldn't find any other threads on this.
Is anyone else having or had this issue?
So far this and the default media player: nemoplayer shutting down randomly are the only issues I have had.

Well i am having the same issue that no matter what i do i am not been able to set the correct time zone and this is killing me lol

shutdown issue?
I am starting think the issue may not beee specific to the timezone but more of a shutdown issue. I saw in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14545336#post14545336
someone say that after he restarted his pictures taken from his laptop were not saved.

Have you encrypted the tablet I had the same issue only when my tablet was encrypted

Assuming you are running encrypted, it is a bug. From what I have read the xoom has the same issue and was corrected in 3.1... time will tell I suppose

date and time
i posted a thread on here got no answer but try re booting with the charger on if time zone is ok it s a mini battery problem best buy exchanged mine good luck

Another data point...
I am experiencing the same issue here. And yes my tab is also encrypted.
I seem to be able to resolve the issue by deselecting "Automatic date & time" in the "Date & Time" settings area.
Hopefully this is corrected in 3.1

unclear resolution
My tablet was encrypted. I did a factory reset and set the time zone on setup. I have not re-encrypted it yet and the time zone has saved. I'm debating whether or not to encrypt it again.

Anyone tried this on the new 3.1 leaks? I am running picasso but don't want to have to wipe and reset if it isn't fixed...

[Issue] Time desyncronization

Everybody,
There is one really annoying bug for me using WM7: Date & time changes randomly
Did any of you had the same experience and found a solution for this?
I stopped all the services which I was able to fine related to “Location Service”
Help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Seba
I know mine did this too, the first time I flashed WP7. Now I've done a few factory resets, and the time seems stable. The phone actually remembered the time after each reset.
One solution might be to go into settings->date & time and turn off "Set automatically".

[Q] Encrypted Tablet Bug

I encrypted my tablet and everything seemed to work without a problem, but every time I restart the tablet, I get a dialog box that says:
Apkinstaller
All pre-installer processes complete!
[OK]
and, more importantly, it's reset my timezone to GMT 0:00.
Anyone come across this issue?

Yes. Both are known issues I believe. The timezone issue was heavily reported in Xoom forums. Neither affects usage of the device - it's just that you have to set the timezone at every reboot. Since I only reboot if mucking as root in the system and need to make some changes happen... it doesn't bother me.

[Q] Shutdown issues Not Saving Settings or Changes

I had a thread specifically regarding the timezone not saving after I reboot. If a mod reads this can you merge them? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14545336#post14545336
I tried changing the name of the thread with no luck.
I also saw in another thread someone mentioned pictures taken from their tab disappear after rebooting.
I am thinking that during the shutdown process some of the tabs are not saving all settings properly.
Anyone have any suggestions besides a master reset?
unclear solution
Some similar posts suggested the problem was due to encrypting the tablet.

Freezing and rebooting on lockscreen after screen rotate

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if this is related to 4.4.2 or its a hardware issue, I've only noticed this issue this week.
When I wake my N10 and if I flip the screen around before unlocking it, it will hang and reboot.
It happens every time after putting the N10 to sleep for a few mins.
If I unlock it without rotating then flipping the screen around its fine.
Has anyone else had this issue? Anyway to fix it?
Hi
Just did it and it worked fine for me, I'm also running 4.4.2... You may want to try a factory reset before issuing this as a hardware problem

on the same boat
Same behavior exactly observed on my tablet, during last week. I suspect something went wrong with the newest updates.
Random crashes with reboots, mainly when rotating on lock screen. Tried a factory reset, however, problem still persists.
Never had a single problem with my Nexus until now, worked like a charm. Also, I have not installed new Apps which to blame for this problem.
At the moment I'm trying things like disabling rotation or pattern unlocking, will see if something works.
I think I've seen this as well, on KOT49H. Not sure exactly how to reproduce it, but it's happened a few times.
Do you have modded/unlocked system? My nex is working like never before. It is twice as smooth and stable as it was on 4.3
I have never rooted/moded this tab and never ever had issues with it...
tapped from my nex
Well, disabling rotation seems to improve the issue a little bit, the random reboots are still there, but just less frequent.
Yesterday I had a couple of hangs-reboots doing simple tasks, like checking GMAIL or interacting with Google Currents widget.
In my opinion, this is not a hardware problem, it is, somehow, related with the 4.4.2. KOT49H update. My N10 worked perfect until this last update.
Ironically, I read somewhere that this update fixes the random reboot problem in a lot of faulty tablets. In my particular case, the "fix" seems to trigger the issue in my tablet
It is worth mentioning that my system is not modded or unlocked.
Updating situation ...
During the last week I have used the N10 With the automatic rotation disabled, in landscape mode. Non a single reboot.
This afternoon I just enabled automatic rotation again and the tablet rebooted itself almost instantly, at the second orientation change.
So, IMHO, This issue is only rotation-based, nothing to do with the lockscreen. It is kind of annoying.
Any help?

Hi,
Do you mind sharing a logcat when it happens? It would help a lot to see what's causing the problem.

I never had this problem, but I just tried rotating twice before unlocking, and sure enough that does it.
There are still so many things that cause this device to reboot. I love the hardware, but god is it ever unstable
This is, I hope, my final update regarding this situation..
Well, It is kind of embarrassing to inform that the problem is, apparently, gone. I didn´t do anything to solve it.
So, it looks like some app or widget was causing the instability, and it must be fixed now via a recent update. Honestly I have no clue about who the culprit was..
Thanks, anyway, for your comments and support, and happy new year
Same issue
So it seems I have the same issue too, except I have a Galaxy S4 Touchwiz 4.3. Anytime I go into landscape mode, boom it freezes and reboots. If I disable rotation, then it'll just keep randomly freezing throughout the day. Never happened before, everything was happy go lucky and then I don't know what happened. I reinstalled kernels, took off recent apps I may have installed, tried a different modem, nada... This is a pain. Anyone else with similar issues other than OP?

Ive seen this many times with 4.4.2 and 3. Now with 4 it likely fixed.
I had screen not rotating, I did a dalvik wipe and a cache wipe and haven't had a problem.

Joying Head Unit resets everytime it restarts (gets stuck on android logo everytime)

Got a Joying SoFIA head unit, 2GB RAM
The problem I've run into is that every time the head unit restarts it essentially does a factory reset without deleting my apps. All of my login info is gone, my settings reset (which causes problems as I have the google app installed and it resets it to the default launcher #3 that doesn't work with the google app), etc. This isn't a problem as long as it never shuts down completely, but since it only stays in dormancy for a few days and it's not uncommon for me to go longer without driving its a pretty big pain.
I haven't rooted my it yet so I'm not sure if that will help; any suggestions or anyone else with a similar issue?
Have you gone into the setting menu and done a full data wipe/factory reset?

I haven't. Not sure how that would fix the issue of the settings resetting every time it restarts? I can try it though.
Hey I had the same problem after upgrading from the update 12th May to 25th May. Device started and all settings were gone, Google Account was removed, but my apps was installed - but all savings from the app was removed too. So I hoped to get all settings back If i start the device again. And after that I have the same problem like you. I tried anythinh and one user said I have to try to install the update again. After that it start normally, BUT I have setup all again. I think they have problems with the actual update version.

Maybe it's just a bug in the current update. Did it eventually work for you or are you still having the same problem?
Don't waste time searching for a solution.... wipe is the only solution to your problem. It happened to me and many others. Update, without a wipe is not a good option for these units.
