Hello
I'm getting date and time error on every restart I perform. Due to this WhatsApp stops working and treeless me to correct the date. I found out that after performing restart the phone's date reverts to 1/1/1970 and time 5:45AM. The phone than within a minute corrects it automatically. This wasn't an issue with 4.2.2
If anyone could help me with this, it would be great.
Thanks
what steps have you taken to try and fix it?

Nothing. It just gets fixed automatically after a minute or two. I can even see it literally, the change on the notification bar from 5:45 to the correct time.
I'm on stock, never rooted or unlocked the boot loader.

Not sure if I'm the only one, and if I am that really sucks, but I got tired of waiting for the OTA and decided to install the update via the fastboot method, unlocked my bootloader installed without a problem.
However the issue now seems to stem from transferring media files to my tablet, which I never had a problem doing, a pop up window will tell me that android.media.storage has stopped, giving me an option to report and to simply tap okay.
Not sure reporting ever does anything, and if it does I've never seen it change a single thing at all, but after I tap okay or send the report, any files transferring will just exit out, then if I unplug my usb and plug it back in, it doesn't seem to recognize the tablet at all.
I've so far remedied this, not sure if it's a permanent fix or temporary, by going into settings>apps>all, then from there tapping the app, clearing data and cache, restarting my tablet with a hard reset and it seems to be working for the moment.
However transferring files since the update are sluggish at best, and taking a 356MB folder of images used to take maybe a few minutes, 5 or 7 at the most, now it's hanging there at times with the transfer time increasing.
As a matter of fact I'm transferring said 356MB folder right now and it's stuck at 10 minutes to finish and hasn't moved for about 10 minutes.
If anybody else is having these problems, can you suggest ways you've fixed it? Or do I simply need to either do a factory reset or straight up flash it again to fix the problem?
Also, I made another article detailing my problems with updating, which I've since fixed obviously, but Recovery Mode isn't anywhere to be found, I do the regular method and before it showed the android with the red triangle and below him it would say no command, now it just shows the android with the same triangle with no wording underneath at all.
I've also re-downloaded the official factory image 4.4 from google's developer site and tried to manually flash recovery onto it, and it says that it succeeded but then when it goes back to fastboot and I choose recovery it loads then shows me the android with the red triangle.
I've even tried downgrading back to 4.3 but it tells me during the rewrite of the bootloader that there's a signature mismatch.
In addition, this should be the last revision to my issue, I've even tried re-flashing 4.4 and now that's kicking back an error saying there's a signature mismatch, so I can't go into recovery, I can't downgrade, I can't flash a recovery image to my tablet, I think I screwed up in ever updating to 4.4.
Im having the same problem with Media Storage when transferring pictures via Android File Transfer on Mac, tried it on Windows also, same problem.
It happens with my Nexus 4 on KitKat also!!
I still havent found a way to fix it, did you (OP) ever find a fix?
Cheers

Nope no fix yet, I haven't tried transferring a large number of files since, oddly enough, I finally did get the OTA update and it installed 4.4 again.
It didn't take long and the file size was puny, only about 32MB, I assume it installed what was missing, but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary since the official updated kicked in.
Yeah I have the latest OTA also, but I am still having the same issue!!

Not really sure why it's different for you, like I said I got tired of waiting for the OTA and manually flashed the factory image, that's when the problems started, but after a few days I got a notification that the new update was ready which really confused me.
But I installed the downloaded update without a hitch, booted like normal and I just finished transferring a 100MB folder of images to my N7 without an error popping up on my tablet saying something crashed, so I can only assume for the moment until I transfer a larger folder, that the DL'd update fixed the problem.
I've also heard people flashing it again, or side loading it, or even a factory reset would fix the problem, but there weren't many replies as to this actually fixing the data transfer problem.

Take anything I say with a grain of salt as I'm not the greatest guy to ask for help, I only really ask questions here and I'm just going to suggest what to do, if you do it is up to you and I take no responsibility for your device having further issues.
1. Hard reset your device and upon it rebooting, check for the update again and try downloading it again
2. If that doesn't work then back up your data
3. After backing up your data do a factory reset on your device and once you've booted back up to Android, check for the update again and install
4. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to suggest, this is what I would do to try and fix the problem, but for my situation it was unique in that I tried fixing it various ways that seemed to make it worse before it got somehow better.
I hope issuing a factory reset works for you, if not then that hard reset does when you try to redownload the update.

Thanks for your reply back. Yep i also thought of the same 4 step solution as yourself but i also heard from 2 people that had the same thing happen to them and they thought it could be a goggle server problem, So i am going to wait to see if it sorts itself out over the next few days

Hi guys, on 21th november arrived my Nexus 4 with EU warranty, bought on the site glistockisti.it. first time the phone had Android version 4.2 was giving me trouble, I'll explain, at the first configuration was restarted, then the phone notified me upgrade to 4.3, after many reboots the phone has been updated. The next day, however, the'll find a telephone notified me to upgrade to version Android 4.4 KitKat. Even then this update has been made, but now I have a somewhat unusual problem, the phone is unusable for me because of the constant reboots. I've tried using the factory image but although I have performed the procedure using the Toolkit, the reboots are still there. What can be according to you? I have to send the phone in for service or someone has encountered the same problems as me? If you have found them, how did you solve?
PS: the phone is now praticamenteo all original, not even the bootloader unlocked
Is it actually rebooting or does it just view the sim lock screen?

reboots continuously, the screen google, the bootanimation and reboot until it lights up, then use it for a while and then restarts again. I tried a hard reset and the factory image but the problem persists
Seems like a hardware issue if you already tried factory reset and are still having issues.
Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!
often works normally and sometimes crashes and restarts, however I send assistance
Hello All
My Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) keeps on freezing then rebooting in an unusual way.
The problem is intermittent, it would constantly happen in certain periods and happen less frequently in other periods. At the moment, i can beerly use my phone for 1 minute before it does it again and again. And in this minute apps are just crashing. I get the pop-up messages of applications crashing. I tap ok only for the same message to instantly reappear.
Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped
Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped
The issue would happen when the phone is in sleep mode (screen turned off), while im using it, in safe mode or even when its rebooting or on the splash screen.
I am using the original battery and charger that came with the phone and never flashed or rooted my phone. I have however had to flash it couple of months ago after it bricked all by itself. I used one of the firmwares from www.samsung-updates.com
See this video to understand exactly what is happening

1. It seems you recovered one image of one backup with the recovery.
2. SOLUTION: Reflash the firmware through ODIN. The latest for your phone is this one: HERE.

Try to flash firmware package with the latest version of ODIN and Sammy drivers, also use the original cable that came with the phone. Often, cables that aren't Samsung genuine fail to flash firmware.
If this doesn't solve your problem, then you might try a firmware reflash with PIT file. If nothing works, your processor (or motherboard) it's likely fried. Take it to a service centre

After trying to root and being stuck in a boot loop i had to restore to the newest software version. Upon doing this I was greeted with my new galaxy s7 edge freezing every 30 seconds for about 2 seconds each time. It may not sounds like a big deal but when you use your phone for YouTube a lot you can really tell. If anyone has had this problem and has fixed it I would be so grateful if anyone could help me out with this. Thanks

You may have to factory reset or possibly refresh stock firmware via Odin. Depends on which firmware your on. I believe PH1 is out there.

Hello All,
I have a verizon prepaid version XT1609 and it would not start even after full factory reset, sometimes it reboots many times, other times gets stuck at moto screen or gives a message like UI has stopped. I tried to sideload XT1609_HARPIA_VZW_MPI24.241-2.35-1 stock image that I found on firmware.center but got E:footer is wrong E:signature verification failed, I believe the reason is I need MPIS24.241-2.35-1-13 image with the most recent security update, can someone help me to find that image? Thanks

I know the vzw version bootloader is locked, but have you tried modifying the software in any way, i.e. rooting, etc.?
If not, a factory reset should have resolved any software issues.
If the phone is still within the return window, I'd swap it for another one; sounds like it may be bad hardware.

Phone was good until yesterday, then it started shutting down about every hour and it got progressively worse, now it never finishes loading, even after multiple factory resets. We got it maybe a couple months ago, but could not find the receipt.
