I've been meaning to ask this question as well. I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll be watching for an answer.
do u use a spare battery? cuz i do
bump
please help.
it never used to do this.
i used to change my batteries all the time, and it never screws up the time. but now it is. whats going on?
answer..
maybe this is the problem.. go to settings --> in personal: click on phone... go to the time zone tab and make sure the automatic change time zone and clock tab is not check.. that should work hopefully
Maybe you got a problem with your internal battery..when you search more in this forum, there are testimonials about that specially when you remove the battery out of you device then put it back on.. and that also happens to me..my solution?never remove the battery
But sometimes, there are instances that this occurs when you sync your phone to PC thru ActiveSync and you got the "Sync PC time to Phone" option enabled AND you have different Regional Settings on your device and on your PC, you need to uncheck that option at ActiveSync..please check.

I have the most perfect running Hero on Damage Controls 2.08.1 rom. Last night I plugged it in for charging and this morning when I unlocked the phone I was greeted by "Error Code 67 - Registration Failure - PCS Vision user name or password is incorrect". I didn't change a thing. The phone half of the device still works but the data half has quit. What happened?? Anyone else have this problem?
Love some help.........
Thanks for your time........

Have you tried any of the following:
1. Reboot?
2. Update Profile in Settings->About Phone->System Updates
I received that error when attempting to USB tether.
Let us know what you find.
toggle airplane mode on off
Yes I tried to shut the phone down and rebooted and then I shut the phone down and took the battery out, put it all back together and rebooted and same thing. I just followed you directions and tried to update profile and while I have done this one thing in the past and it has taken some time, this time it was a five second check and dumped right back with the code 67 again. It's definitely not seeing the data information.
Plus it said "profile could not be updated - call customer service with code: 1012

I've received that before and it sort of fixed itself over the course of the day. Have you tried the Airplane mode on-off?
Could just be a Sprint thing, and not necessarily something on your end.
I just tried toggling the airplane mode on and off and then on again and still the same problem...........
If I have to call Sprint, what software do I tell them I'm running?
I would hate to go back to 1.5 to get this worked on.........

Like I said, try waiting it out for a little bit. If Sprint asks tell them 2.1 (just don't mention its not the official one!)
Plus from all my reading don't do the new OTA update either.............
I hope running DC would prevent them from running something on my phone in the background. I really love my phone the way it is - when it's working of course...
How's this for weird gentlemen? I activated my wifi to just check the device as I have that in my home. The device worked fine and had internet access and did it's thing via wifi. I decided to do the "Update Profile in Settings->About Phone->System Updates" and it worked through that method. Apparently I just needed to up date my profile. The Hero is back working perfectly like it always has.
This was a scare for me as this Hero works so well on DC compared to the horror stories I have read about official stuff. But thank you guys a million for your help and I owe you all a beer..........
Thanks so much........

While it is odd, sometimes phones just love to test our patience and knowledge. I always remind myself it is just a phone.
Just got the phone today, have an issue with the market. Every app I try to download, fails, says thatcdownload was not successful. Any ideas? Anybody else having problems? Also, if I try and do factory data reset, it fails as well.
Odd man, no issue here... sorry I cant offer anything up.
no everything ok here but i do have an isue with Google GPS on the maps??
no problems with market either.
My Market keeps losing connection every now and then.
Market works fine for me as well tho on occasion it takes a little while to load the "services description" after hitting install on an application.
I had no problems what so ever with the market before i rooted the phone
^ that makes it sound like you have an issue AFTER rooting? But you did not explain.... so I assume you do not have an issue?

Haven't rooted it yet even. I'm thinking something wrong with the rom on my phone. Am at the gym now, was going to go to the store and try to get a replacement after.
Just picked up a brand new vibrant and I'm having market issues. Unsuccessful downloads. NO root BTW. Some apps initially installed but now it doesn't work anymore despite several reboots

Correct. I was chiming in that I had no issues until I changed something.

Just came back from Tmobile. Got a replacement, tested market at the store and updated maps and installed Pandora with no issues. Drove home, issue came back! Blenheim, it is not my phone, something is going on here!

spoke to the folks over at tmobile611 and they said that since our plans get 'reset' when buying a new phone, such issues are possible. they advised the usual 48hr period to see if the problem goes away.
interestingly, my 3g works for web browsing and everything else. its only the market that's having an issue, even over WiFi.

Unlikely, I paid full retail as I am on even more plus and I'm not even the primary on my account. My gf got the slide last week, she hasn't had any problems like this.
I fixed it!!! Not sure which one of the things did it, but here is what I've done!
A) in settings, manage apps, clear cache for market AND market updater AND download manager. I also force stopped them all!
B) under settings, manage networks, switched to 2g only for 39 seconds, then unchecked the box again. After, I went ahead and searched for networks and hit select automatically.
Then bow market is working, knock on the wood!

interesting.. i put my SIM back in my mytouch3g and the market worked just fine (after it prompted me to enter my password again).
put the SIM back in the Vibrant, entered market, input password on being asked, and AGAIN NO DOWNLOADS!

Danger, I'm sorry, that's what I've done and it still is working. Annoying issue for sure, if I find anything else, I will post it here. Maybe somebody else has a better solution?
I am having problems with my market as well and the above suggestion didn't help. Suck!
the advice given to me over in the root your vibrant thread was to sign into google talk first, then open the market. It works, most of the time, although the majority of the time it doesnt install the first time and I have to hit retry once or twice. But it does work.
So I've been using (T-Mobile) D80120a for a long time and was having some issues with it so I thought I'd try upgrading since latest version is D80120g. I was hoping it would fix some of them.
My issues:
1. If my phone was on vibrate, it sometimes would act like silent mode, not even vibrating when I would get a text.
2. Bluetooth (music) in my new car will sometimes pause, then fast forward to catch up. Not sure if this is my car or phone's issue.
3. Worst of all, my phone turns itself off without notice. Sometimes multiple times in a short amount of time. No sound, no vibration, nothing. Never while using it or charging but sometimes when I haven't even touched it...
4. Some apps randomly tell me my phone is not rooted when I know it is. I have and use SuperSU and I've removed some system apps such as widgets that I don't use and are safe to remove. Also, apps such as ES File Explorer refuse to mount the /system folder. I can browse and edit all root folders except that one.
After successfully upgrading to g, all issues are fixed except 2, which again may not be my phone's fault. BUT g has added a new issue, now knock on/off will not work for some reason. I've turned it off and back on, and restarted a thousand times. Is there an apk responsible for allowing knock to work? What all can I try?
and btw, I'm also looking for a bloatware list for t-mobile D80120g! All of them I have found don't include everything or has a bunch of stuff that isn't there. I know some of this is crap but I'm really trying to only remove safe stuff so my issues don't return!
Try this to see if the knock on/off works

The best solution is to open dialer menu and type:
5689#*980# (Sprint)
3845#*801# (T-Mobile)
3845#*803# (AT&T Canada)
3845#*802# (International)
3845#*800# (At&T)
3845#*980# (Verizon)
And when hidden menu is showed up, go to "Settings"
and go to "Update Touch Firmware". Then touch will stop working for 5 seconds after this it should be working.

I saw that post somewhere else but when I enter 3845#*801# I get the message "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"

There is no way this to happen. Be sure you enter this 3845#*801#. My mistake was swapping # with *. You are obviously on stock firmware. Be sure you have connection. When i was entering it i didn't have to press the call button. It automatically opens after you enter it right. If this not help i think you can try reseting it to factory settings.
Yeah I tried it many times and double/triple checked I'm doing it correctly. Nothing happens when I type it in and I get that message if I try to dial it. I am using my wifi but I also tried my phone's 4G, same result. Anything else I can try?

Ah I got it! You were right with the information you gave me, it fixed the issue. I am using a better dialer which apparently the hidden menu only works for the default dialer. Thank you!

Hey all,
About a year ago I was working in an area with almost no 4G and my galaxy note 3 kept chewing battery so I disabled it using a phone code (I can remember which one but it was *#somethingsomething#).
Now I cant seem to find the code again.. I've tried the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing happens. I cant seem to enable it in the settings menu either. I also tried a factory reset and it didn't fix it.
BTW I live in AUstralia and have a Telstra provided phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
THanks
Sam
Search the furom for LTE Enabler.

To do easier method , just install "Phone Info" app from play store.
There is an option to explore secret codes and there scroll down and u will see 4636. Click that one with launch0. and Bingoo!!
Thanks! That App is awesome!
While the code didn't take me where I hoped, I went into ServiceMode. And bingo! that's the menu I was in earlier.
I remember I went ServiceMode>LTE>LTE RF>VZW LTE B4 on/off > Disable....
However I changed it back to enable ages ago and it still wont work!
Although my memory is pretty bad, so I may have changed something else at the time, but this is definitely the right menu....
Any help? Thanks again

You want to use 4G(LTE) on your device right? let me help you find the problem. I found this somewhere in this forum previously.
Yes that's exactly what i'm after. but I cant find where to re-enable it. the service menu seems to be a good start tho
Did you also enable it in settings > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Network mode?
Yeah I have. I've got LTE/WCDMA/GSM (Auto-Connect) selected there
