Internal Clock Off?

My Tab 10.1 clock is off by about 20 seconds. I see no option for autosynch (with wifi server,etc). I'm also not rooted so an app like clocksynch wont work (at least not well). Does anyone know how the tab updates its internal clock and how to solve my issue? Thanks!

try 'clocksync', in the market. uses ntp server to sync your time. great app.

Yeah, clocksynch isnt helpful for me. As a starter, does anyone know how the tab gets its time?

Facebook is p*****g me off

I am tired of Facebook not working properly, I have gotten used to the fact that I am not getting all of my friends updates(can't seem to figure out why, I have looked everywhere) but now I am not even getting any notifications of the few friends updates I do normally get. I have tried clearing the cache of the main app and nothing, I have also re-install the app and nothing. Is it the app or the tab? Am I missing any settings? Really getting annoyed, I have also tried different Facebook apps and they too do not show all updates. Anyone care to shed a light on any of these issues.? Thanks.

Bars on Gallery App won't disappear

When I first got the phone, I could make the bars disappear on the gallery app by just tapping and now I can't make them go away for the life of me. Any help? Thanks
Here is an example below

Anyone?

For me, just not touching the screen for a couple of seconds makes them disappear.

I've got the same problem

Maybe try updating the firmware? Maybe it's a bug they fixed.

I'm running the XXUAMDM version and i think that this is the latest firmware which is available.
Maybe i will try to flash a stock rom from the development section.

Well I'm using XXUAMDN, which I'd expect is newer going alphabetically.

My galaxy s4 is not able no find a newer version than my current one. I'm from germany so maybe I'll have to wait

Mine couldn't either, even though it was on XXUAMDC. I assume it's because it gets the update through your network provider, and you'll only get the newest one they'd let you get, especially if it's locked to their network like mine was.

I probably found out what was causing that bug. My gallery is working fine again.
Please test the following:
Enable all sounds on your galaxy s4 and get into the Gallery.
now select an folder with your pictures and long press on a picture. in my case the phone had read out loud that i've selected a picture.
Then i removed an app called Notify-Me and some other apps which could cause the problem and now the gallery works again :good:
I'm sorry for my english but I hope you can understand it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262790&highlight=gallery
There I found my solution.
Hope it works for you !

Actually my gallery was also doing talkback at some point. I had just frozen a bunch of bloat apps, so I thought that was the thing causing it.. So I unfroze them again..

My phone is a completely stock US version and I have the gallery problem. You can never view a picture fullscreen no matter what you do.

Do you have an app installed which is enabled in accessibility? Disable it and try again in landscape mode
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Wow, it's Lightflow that's causing it! Well, maybe I should say Samsung's gallery sucks and can't coexist with lightflow. I've been using an app from the market called Gallery ICS which works fine with lightflow enabled. So odd. I don't get what would cause this.

What is lightflow?

Yeah pretty annoying that no notification app works with the stock gallery. I hope this will be fixed soon :banghead:
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the info! I've just disabled the Tasker accessibility service and the problem went away. Looks like the bug occurs when you have at least one active accessibility service.

Can no longer “check in" on FB

I know this sounds silly but it's actually really bothering me, mostly because I can't figure out why it's not working.
When I had my phone stock unrooted I could check in on FB.
When I was stock rooted I could still check in on FB.
I debloated, installed xposed and wanam, added a modded launcher and now I can't check in.
What crazy is I have done almost all the same changes to my wife note 3 and she still can check in.
Only thing we have done different is the debloating.
Curious if anyone else has broke this after debloating?
Thanks

And nothing else on phone appears to be broken. Gps is working for all other features
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Probably one of the apps you froze. If you get it figured out let us know. But not logging into FB might be considered a feature by some.
Sent from my SCH-I905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Is this via the FB app or browser? If browser make sure you haven't disabled javascript. I temporarily turn off javascript when browsing XDA so it doesn't constantly refresh but it also breaks things.

In the android app
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app

Check if there has been a update since you rooted that may have caused it. And try the normal, if you haven't already, reinstall and who's phone cache.

Nobody cares that u stopped by Costco to buy toilet paper. Wutever broke that "check in" feature did u a favor.
...im kidding bro. plz dont take offense. I just love giving facebookers a hard time. having said that, I appear to be the only person in the milky way galaxy without a facebook account so maybe I should be the one getting cracked on. im also the only person in the galaxy that still has a Myspace so im sorta cool right??

Facebook has been having issues lately. My wife had me log in yesterday to check something and we both couldn't post. Intermittent posting issues.
Sent from my SCH-I905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Ok so I figured out out has something to do with my settings. Because I logged into my wife's account on my device and the check in ability worked perfectly.
Now to try and figure out what setting is messed up on my device.

I don't know if u have enabled ur developer options but the last time I had a problem like that with fb it was because I had changed a setting called "don't keep activities" if it is checked u should uncheck it...if ur developer options are not activated then it has to be something else...hope this helps

I found out this has something entirely to do with how I have my settings in the app... what sucks is I can't figure out what I've done. GPS works on all other applications on my device, just not on Facebook check in. So annoying!

And WTF is this?

I know this is probably more related to the actual FB app but I feel like it's a complete violation of privacy and I don't particularly want this happening but can not seem to find a setting to turn it off.. Here is a scenario where this would be completely out of place and unacceptable..
You take a picture of something private .. You or a friend gets your phone and opens the Facebook app... Oh look the last 3 pics you took.... Really? WTF? Anyone know how to turn this off?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Check settings. Turn off facebook sync photos.
Just using Facebook is violation of privacy. Even if you find away to turn it off that feature; Facebook is always sucking up information from your device (contacts, location, call logs, pictures, and so on). This is one of the reason I don't use Facebook.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

That's definitely true... Makes me sad. I think in this issue though the most disturbing thing is that it's accessing another app (gallery) and then putting the 3 most recent pics in the app (suggesting) you post them. Who's to say their appropriate to post. I don't like this at all.

Guys, just get another app for Facebook. There's tons of apps that don't these extra permissions and don't steal your data, AND THEY RUN BETTER than the stock Facebook app. Example : fast for facebook (search it!)

No I didn't. I've tried alternative FB apps in the past. Haven't generally had much success but maybe I'll give it another go..

So it ends up looking like this. I tapped on my post, so I could quote your post. Because it always highlights the one above it. Don't say random stuff if you don't know what you're talking about. Obviously if I could have quoted I would've done it. Been doing this a while....

Yes that is a bug. However if you tap the time at the right hand side of each post, the corresponding post is highlighted, not the one above it.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... Sorry for being abrasive. Just been very frustrated with the XDA app lately. It used to be so much easier to use.
