Samsung Weather Widget won't Switch time to DST - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Day Light Saving time kicked in last night and everything changed the time like it should but not the Weather Widget which is still stuck at a hour behind, I remember having the same issue on the Galaxy S3,S4,S6,S7 and now the S8 looks like Samsung had some kind of brain freeze while trying to figure out a fix for this, does anybody know a fix?I tried removing it a re-adding, no luck, tried adding different cities, no luck so I'm looking for some human help sinc Google won't help on this either
Edit: it fixed by it's self

Custom weather update time

I would like that weather updates itself during the day, I don't care how weather looks like at night when I sleep.
These night updates aren't big problem, except that everytime new data connection is established and it just uses too much battery.
And because there aren't any solution for auto-disconnect idle connection used by htc sense...I would like to schedule times when I want updates...
Is it possible?
nice catch Bence... I was wondering if we could use a tive setup for off-peak times for manual updates only.. hopefully someone is working on a fix for this.

Can somebody please help me with my clock problem?

This is driving me crazy.
There is no rhyme or reason to it. It happens with any ROM, with any number of applications running and at any time. I can not pinpoint any specific activity that triggers it.
I'm on my eighth ROM at least and it is still happening, driving me crazy. Current ROM is Miri WM 6.5 21887, V 34.0, Radio is 1.17.25.09, SPL is 1.56.OliNex
My problem is this; I live in the Pacific Time Zone (GMT-8) For no apparent reason, after some time, my location for the clock only changes to Eastern Time Zone (GMT-5) My clock is then three hours off. I change the location settings under Time/Date back to the PST zone and it sticks for a short while but then later I check my time and BAM, it's back to thinking we're on the eastern seaboard.
If you have any idea what could be causing this please share with me. I've done hard resets up the yingyang, back to stock several times, etc. etc. Believe me, I've spent days and days trying everything I could think of.
Thank you so much if you can help me.
Just a thought: could this be related to the "My Location" feature ? I mean, if all the ROMs behave the same, it is, obviously, not a software problem and it cannot be a hardware problem. I'm thinking maybe the GSM towers, or maybe the IP address of your Internet connection are (erroneously) identified as being in the GMT-5 timezone. Try disabling My Location and all the services related to it (weather updates and stuff) and see if this happens again. I would really be interested to know if this will solve your problem, because I've had a discussion with someone concerning the My Location service and the possibility of such a problem occuring.
Hope to hear good news from ya !
I did try the location services on and off and it had no bearing on it. But, crazy as it is, it just stopped doing it after I posted this and has been good so far. I can't explain it. The only thing I changed in that time period was downgrading the radio so maybe that had something to do with it but I can't see how. I'm on 1.14.24.25 right now so I'm not going to mess with it.
Thanks for your suggestion, I should have mentioned that I did try deactivating the location services in my original post.

tmo us text times

so this happened last night and i thought i fixed it with some tweaks such as telling the phone to get time from the internet.
the issue is from some people just after midnight and i guess for a little while the texts think they are coming from "yesterday" at the same time.
so i have to scroll up a day to find their text.
anyone hear of this?
anyone with the phone have this happen to them?
so for the 3rd night in a row is happening.
i just went to phone settings and turned off time synchronization.
but whenever i reset the phone that setting automatically rechecks itself.
i just turned on the setting in sense to get time from the internet and that hasnt seemed to help
anyone that got the us hd2 let me know
You can try the fix I've made and see if it helps you... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6116612

I'm having the exact same problem. Very annoying. I'll give the cab a try and see what happens tonight
worked for me. thanks!

[Q] Google Now Appointment Delay?

I'm running the MoDaCo JR5 ROM with no other modifications (rooted as standard etc) but for around 5 days now the calendar prompts from Google Now have been delayed. I have an appointment in my calendar for each day I work (shift rota and I'm horrendous for remembering which start time I'm on) so the first few days running stock, the time to leave reminders were a pleasant surprise. Since flashing the MoDaCo ROM these reminders have been delayed to the point that I'm already half way to work before my phone prompts me to leave.
E.g: Work start time of 7:30am and Google Now cards shows a travel time of 20 minutes. When it was working I would get a prompt 10 minutes before the 20minute time to travel (7am) but now I'm driving to work at 7:25 when it springs up saying I need to leave in 10 minutes!
I can't find any examples of this on the entire forum (or anything on Google for that matter!) Would anyone be able to help? My clock is set correctly btw, and I can't see any other issues what may be causing this so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same behavior on my devices... i'm completely stock and rooted. Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 10.
Since a couple of months the reminders to leave for work(i have an appointment in my calender for every day i go to work) come always after the appointment has started, but show that i had to leave around 30 minutes ago... very strange behavior... i am thinking if being late for work somehow confused the whole algorithm...
Any guesses?

I'm having a similar problem, and also stock rooted on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. Sometimes the notifications appear as expected (10-15 minutes before I have to leave), and sometimes they appear at or near the time I'm supposed to be there, telling me to leave some time in the past to arrive on time. This is only a recent issue - maybe the last 2-3 weeks, possibly since the update to 4.2.2?
Whatever is causing it, it's very annoying, since about a month before this started happening I stopped adding individual reminders on my calendar events that include addresses, making Google Now the ONLY reminder I receive.
I used to include less specific addresses (like "town high school", or "Tony's Pizza") on my calendar events, so I could just tap on the address in the event for navigation and let Google Maps figure out what I meant, but Google Now doesn't seem to like that too much. Have you done anything similar? I'm wondering if the existence of such events are contributing to the problem.
Google Now is still taking baby steps, it's about 6 major updates away from being moderately useful. There's no way I would depend on it for anything critical, it's still a cute toy that works about half the time.

Google Now completely ignored my most recent appointment. It came and went without Google Now making a peep. Very disappointing.
Same here like all of you.

Dialer Slow - Galaxy S4

Hi There,
Any help most appreciated as I am struggling to solve this bizarre issue. Both my wife and I picked up Galaxy S4s in the last 30 days. Over time as you use the phone the dialer seems to slow down considerably. When you click the green phone icon to call a contact it will take upwards of 10-15 seconds to get to the caller screen and actually place the call. It's so slow that you would think the call was not even happening sometimes!
Now. The weird thing is that at first I thought it was a handset thing, but exactly the same thing happens on my wifes phone now! (I re installed and fixed mine twice now)
The dirty solution is to backup, factory reset and restore everything (logs, contacts etc.). This works fine, so I know that the issue it is not the size of the call logs, number of contacts etc.
I honestly don't think we are running any strange apps, pretty mainstream stuff.... Otherwise phone is awesome. Have scoured the net but not found specific threads on this issue with the S4.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and or comments.
Jamie
Maybe you have way too many applications that sync contacts? Like facebook, whatsapp,viber, etc. Maybe all those apps are trying to access the network or something when you launch the dialer or contacts
I don't think it's really necessary to have those apps doing that, so try disabling all the account syncing if possible (except google's). Anyway, it's worth a try.
Yeah. Good thought. Have disabled those. That was my first thought as well.
