Daylight savings time weirdness - Epic 4G General

So I had a writers thing happen and wondered if anyone else had it or could explain it. I woke up yesterday morning at what was actually 12 but my phone said was 11. Sometime during the daylight savings time change my phone fell back 2 hours instead of 1. It's right now, though I couldn't tell you how long it took to right itself or what time it was right. I'm on CM7 with xboxfanj's nexus modem kernel if that matters.

Welcome to the Samsung Epic4G and Sprint. Happened to both my Epics last year and to my GF's Epic this year. A reboot gets you to the right time.

Happened to mine but my phone was set to Central time and not Eastern happened to both mine and my wife's phone this year.

It worked for me on the same sw. It can probably be fixed by unchecking automatic time and rechecking it. That's weird though.

Mine went back two hours as well. I noticed it Sunday morning when my alarm clock didn't go off at 6:00 AM. It corrected itself sometime around 8:00AM, without a reboot. I was wondering what happened as well. Oh well, all is better now.

Network time to improve battery life

Sorry if this has ben posted before but I am at work and can only sneak to use the phone. I am switching to evo 4g and my buddy found out that you can turn network time of and really improve battery life on devices that use sense. Settings-date and time-network time.

What percent improvement has he seen. I use my phone as a watch, so this does not seem like a worth while power management technique for me unless it improves it 10+ %.
Screenshots from System Panel would be appreciated.
I have found that disabling the mobile network data service off unless you are using helps significantly.

Care to elaborate? Or am i not getting the joke! It's early so might have went over my head....
Okay first off, I had an EVO 4G, went and got a Droid X and now want EVO back due to using way too many minutes on Verizon. Went today to get everything switched over and nowhere has an EVO around here. Basically my friend found in the desire forums about disabling network time and he tried it on his nexus one with 2.2 CM6 w/ sense and it significantly helped his battery. My buddy and his buddy with the Evo 4G were both going through about 10% an hour even not using it. The Evo 4G guy texted my friend today and said he unplugged his EVO from the wall at 2pm went to work and didn't play with his phone until 7pm. Still had about 80% battery. Went to bed around 12:30 am with 70% and woke up at 9:45 am with 64% battery. It is worth a try for anyone running sense.
Great story bro.

How long did you have it for?
Did you have custom kernel?
If so what speed was it running at?
I had it for 1 day, picked it up tuesday night and it died wednesday night, i was running everything stock, no custom rom, no root nothing.Only thing that scares me is i had all my personal info on it and there was no way for me to erase it before sending it back.

Why not get another Note? The nexus in inferior in every way. ICS on a custom ROM should be here within a month.

Is it still acting up?
Yeah, my phone has been running really slow and eating through battery since the update notice appeared on my phone. I haven't updated yet because my phone is rooted and haven't had time to unroot it to upgrade.

Battery at 48% after 17 days and 18 hours without charge.

Hey guys,
I live in the uk and went to Bulgaria for 16 days. I left my S3 home and took an older phone with me. Didn't want my samsung stolen, etc.
So, before I left the house I charged the phone up and left it in airplane mode.
I got back more than 2 weeks later to find the phone still on in standby mode with 48% of battery left. Meaning that it could go for about 34 days in airplane mode with one charge.
I know we can't do much with this info but I felt the need to share it.

That's awesome. My sgs2 can only make it for about a week in airplane mode, with a 2100mah extended battery.
Are you using the stock ROM? Looks like touchwiz icons from the screenshot you posted.

There is absolutely no way it could go that long with the radio on. Mine was in airplane mode.

Everything is stock unbranded uk. Still on ICS.

So in order to get great battery life all we need to do is never turn the screen on and never use it as an actual phone, great find!
I bought my s3 from cex (a popular exchange chain here in UK) and when I got the phone it was at 8% charge with 34 days of standby. The phone was left on, without sim card inserted, but with WiFi on, even if wasn't connected to any network. I thought it was pretty cool as the same happened with a one x I bought two weeks before, always from cex, and in the same condition the HTC was on 8 days standby time when it discharged completely in my hand

Nice!!!
Actually there is a point to this...
I think that this is a very interesting post. Why?
Because I suspect that for most people, there are times of the week when they don't actually use the phone or even need it available to take calls but (like me) don't want to have to turn it off at night and turn it on again in the morning.
So, using a tool like Llama, you can set your phone automatically to put itself into Airplane mode at night and to reconnect in the morning - so extending your stand-by time.
(Note: I actually go further than this - and put mobile data on only 3 minutes every 30 when screen is off. And I get great battery time - or would do if I didn't use the screen so much!!)

Too many wake locks

Well, I have lots of apps installed. Could have last much longer after a factory wipe I guess.

My old smartphone with data and radio off could last about a week at most.

INSANE BATTERY DRAIN while powered off!

So I powered off my Nexus 7 last week before I went on vacation and found it completely dead when I tried to turn it on a week later - it would not even turn on. After charging for about 10 minutes it booted up but the battery was at 1% and charging. Initially i though I forgot to turn it off, but then again I was pretty sure I did. Once it charged up I powered it off completely ("Power Off" option after holding down the power button) and left it till 5PM the next day. Once it booted up it showed that I had only 44% charge, that's down from 100% just last night! WTF? It lasts me 3-4 days if it sleeps but looses 66% charge when powered off!? Anybody in the same boat?
It's the government tracking you. (Yes they can track a powered off device)

Cool! Thanks!
Also forgot to mention that my tablet was completely dead when I exchanged because of the touch screen issues with the previous one. The previous one turned on just fine! So maybe it was a bad batch, even though I hope it's not
I'm using GTab 8.9, but I experienced the same thing as the OP, too. I tried switching kernels and this issue went away.

I don't believe OP's story. Why would you go on vacation and leave your N7 at home? Your story doesn't add up.
