Clock Keeps switching the TIME!

My Clock keeps switching the time back 3 hours on me...Randomly. And when I reboot the phone. Its very frustrating..Any help?

did you set your region correctly?and under ALARM setting make sure you select "HOME"..sound silly but it happened to me once lol

You can also select it to run on internet time. Just go to setting/dataservices/internet time sync. This should help out I think.

mine did this when I enabled the internet time.. when I disabled, it worked as it should.

[Q] Auto power off when unused

I tend to leave my Nexus 7 down for large periods of time then find that it is out of charge next time I go to use it.
Ideally I would like a way to have it power down after the screen has been left switched off for an hour.
Anyone got a clever solution / app?
BTW, I am rooted if that helps!

I'm guessing tasker can handle this

I looked at Tasker before but it doesn't seem to cancel the shutdown countdown when the screen comes back on within the allotted time

Anyone know a solution?

I don't use tasker; I use llama. There is an option to cancel the event if the conditions don't hold, thus resetting the timer when the screen turns on. You should be able to find a similar option.

You might just need to tweak the Tasker profile.
Set up a profile based on the state of the screen being on.
Start task - define a task that waits one hour, and then if the screen is still off in one hour, power off.
*but* this is of course not enough, because it doesn't check during that whole hour. So, you also need to go into the settings of the task you created, and look into collision handling. The default is to ignore the new task. What you want instead is take the option where it aborts the existing task and starts a new one from its first action.
So now every time you sleep the tab, a countdown starts. Every time you wake it, the countdown continues but it won't actually power off if the timer passes when the screen is on. And then every time it sleeps, the countdown gets aborted and restarted.

I always kinda thought this should be a feature even on a stock ROM, since some people just don't use it that often.

[Q] wrong date time every morning

Hello
I have my G2 for 3 days now, and I keep having the same weird problem every morning when I turn it on: the clock "looses" one day, and either advances or loses a few minutes.
Yesterday I checked as the hour went past 00h and the date changed to day 19, thursday ('I'm on GMT 00). The phone and computer had the same time.
I left my phone off during the night, and today when I turned it on I found it at 10.00 o'clock (8 minutes in advance of my computer). It also switched back to the 18th, wednesday. The weather/time app still detects it was last updated on the 19th.
I have automatic date-time-timezone switched off. If I turn it on, it will sync with the Internet and correct the hour, but that does not fix the problem.
Any ideas on what's happening? Any suggestions?
I'm on Android 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.0
Software D80210b-EUR-XX

Yesterday (after midnight) I switched the phone off for more than 10 minutes, switched back on: all ok
Restarted the phone: was ok - up till 3 am the date/time was correct.
Turn it off, woke up this morning, turned it on: 5 minutes delayed, date went back to the 19th.

It seems what is happening is not really a lost of time. Today as I turned the phone on, it was showing 10:24, 20th (yesterday). This was over half an hour ahead of correct time. This happened after I had the phone off for 3 hours, so it's not a delay that increases as proportional to the time the phone is off. It must have something to do with some date/time on the settings, that override actual date/time.
I think this is like a "return to last settings", in this case, I believe this was the date/time set when I turned the phone on yesterday morning.
I already went by all apps I think could be related, but I can find no relevant option to prevent this.

That is indeed strange, maybe someone else around here can help you with that.
I don't think many people turn their phones off during the night.

Hi i think this is the same for all g2, my phone does the same thing once you turn it off the device is literally off. I am sure if you check the battery time it will show only from the time you rebooted it and not from last full charge. At the beginning i reported this issue but didn't get any reply but with further investigation i reached to the conclusion it wasn't an issue with device.
Any way regarding date time issue, you can simply make sure its automatically synchronized with network that way no matter whether its on or off it will be correct.

its probably cmos battery if phone has one, try warrantee

Thank you for your input
I've done a few more tests. I've flashed a different firmware, but it still does the same. This originally came with 10B-SEA, and I flashed it to 10B-EUR (UK open). Now it's back to SEA.
I've contacted LG about this, and they told me it's under analysis.
The phone will not loose date and time if it's powered off for one hour. After two hours it will happen and it will go back to the last time the phone was powered on and the clock was set.
I've been keeping it synced with the network time, and that way it works fine, but that's not a permanent fix. Yesterday I unchecked the automatic time, left it powered off for two hours, and it went back to monday.
I've read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580974, and it seems to be related.

Same problem with date and time
I do have the same problem. My phone model is D802 (international variant). But as far as I remember, this issue did not start from the day one. I purchased the phone some 2 months back. It was fine on the JB. It remained fine even after the KitKat update. But one day, my phone did show some weird problems. Serious lag coupled with overheating and battery drain. I did a factory reset because the phone was hardly usable at that point. After the reset, lag + overheat and battery issue was gone, but I remember that after that incident, it started this weird date/time sync issue. There is something which I wish to highlight by the attached screenshot. There is always a broken curve of battery usage whenever the date/time reverts which happens whenever you keep the phone switched off for a few hours. I am not a technical person, but this might be related to the battery.

Anyone have any luck with this? The main problem that this is causing is that when emails, texts, messages come in whilst the clock is incorrect (before it updates), these items get put out of sync with when they did actually arrive.
I contacted LG and they said...
If you have both options ticked, I would advise you to try and perform a hard factory reset. Before doing the reset, please ensure that you back up all of your files as all data will be lost during the reset. The details of the reset are as follows:
Turn the phone off
Press and hold the power key and the volume down key together
Release the power key only when the LG logo appears and immediately press and hold it again
Release both keys when the hard factory screen shows up
Select yes (use the power key to select yes)
Select yes again
This will then take you through the set up of the phone, and the issue should be resolved. I hope this helps you.​
I haven't yet tried this, as from what I've read elsewhere, this wont fix it, plus it is a bit of a hassle to copy everything off and then reset, then et everything back on the way it was and all apps, etc.

Hi,
I've the same problem.
Can you tell me if Hard factory reset or LG support had resolved this issue?
I'm currently using ClockSync app that sync time every 3h and at boot.
The clock seems not to be very accurate : 1.139s of local offset in 2h...
I've tested the Clock_offset_fix. I'll update this post when I'll be sure that this solution is ok for me or not...

This is not an issue per say. It's just that the device is built this way..... So as far as I know there is no fix to this. Except you can have accurate date and time if you have a sim card in the device and auto date&tme option is ticked in settings. You see the device doesn't have a pc like cmos rom to store basic info like date and time. So when u turn off the device that info isn't maintained and becomes corrupted after some time but it is corrected when synchronized with the cell network provider at boot.

Hi, I have the same problem. is there any way to solve this problem? I have stock lolipop.

Same problem for me, date and time are wrong for some seconds after boot.
Than it switch correctly to the current date and time.
Make sure you have setting > date and time > automatic sync for all options...
On my phone it start wrong than it correct itself if internet is enabled.
The problem ia when mobile data is OFF. :'(

Yes, I have automatic sync on, but the problem is when I can't access internet. What if I install Cyanogenmod?

Alarm app won't wake phone

I use Timely as my timer for my breaks at work. Also I use it as my alarm to wake up. At first I couldn't get the countdown timer to show in the notifications or update as it counted down.
After going into power managagement and turning off all power saving policies, I could see the timer countdown but only until the phone locks. Once locked it won't show the timer at all. The alarm I set is the same way it didn't go off or wake up phone, but as soon as I hit the power button to turn on the lock screen then alarm went off.
I've tried turning off smart power-save all together as well with no luck. I use smart lock so my phone shouldn't even lock when I'm at home but still didn't work.
Any other ideas or features to that I could try ? I've been using Timely for the past couple years on multiple android devices and never had this issue before. Any help would be appreciated.

I use Timely without any issue and it wakes me up every morning . What device are you using? What ROM? root? Xposed? Any battery saving app?

Yep.
Yes, I've been using Timely on every Android for the past 3 or 4 years. It miserably failed on the Axon 7. Every measure I took came to no avail. Uninstalled. Anyway, they stopped updating it on February 2015. Using "Alarm Clock Xtreme Free" currently.

I have the Axon 7, stock with b29 software, not rooted. I'm going to give Alarm Clock Xtreme a try tonight and see what happens.

I use Timely and it's randomly off by as much as 8 minutes. Usually it's 4 minutes late when the alarm goes off. And no I'm not sleeping through 4+ minutes of an alarm, my alarm is a song and I wake up right from the start of it. This is annoying since it forces me to set my alarm to earlier to make sure I'm not late, but then sometimes it does work on time so I've woken up a little early for nothing.
It's always been like this for me, before bootloader unlocking, before root, before Xposed or anything. Now I'm BL unlocked, rooted, with Xposed, etc, installed and I'm still having the exact same issue. B29 of course, prior versions had the same issue.

Alarm clock Xtreme did work for me last night with no issues. Woke the phone right up even with Smart power save enabled, and allow deep sleep in the power management features turned on. (That's how it was configured at install, and I didn't change anything)
I will miss some of the features of Timely, but I guess it's time to move on if they're no longer supporting it.

No incoming texts over night until morning; they never show up

Hi folks,
I've got the 6013 model in the US, running on AT&T, completely stock never rooted, fully updated to 10.3.11. Either the most recent update, or the one before that, seems to have caused an issue where texts sent to me overnight or in early morning before I first use the phone never show up. I've missed some important notifications due to this. The worst thing is they NEVER show up... they aren't just delayed until I wake the phone up. After I start using the phone, new texts make it through just fine. The phone seems to be sleeping deeper or something and not getting any of these cellular-based texts. Emails and other notifications based on wifi internet seem to be showing up fine.
Do not disturb is NOT enabled (and, I've tried toggling it on and off without change). This has been going on for weeks or longer, multiple reboots, etc.. I've checked my default texting app (Textra) and the phone's built-in Messages app... the texts aren't in either app. They just never show up.
What else can I look into to check the cause of this and hopefully a fix?
Thanks!

As a test today, I sent a text from my work phone to my personal OnePlus when I got up (late! Father's Day!) before interacting with my OnePlus at all. It did receive the text just fine. I think the cellular radio may be on some timer and going to sleep / waking up on some sort of schedule. Where are the settings for controlling this kind of thing? I haven't messed with this phone's settings much... it just worked fine out of the box and ever since for the last two and a half years until recent update messed this text thing up.

Further information: In Settings, Battery, Battery Saver is OFF (I've never enabled this) and under battery optimization I noticed Textra was set for Intelligent Control; I've toggled this to Don't Optimize. "Messages" was not present; I never use it.
Is there anything else to try? Note that the phone is plugged in and fully charged at the time these issues are occurring.

Dude, not sure but hope it will work,
anyway trying will cost nothing...
Go to settings > battery > battery optimization >
hit on upper right 3 dots and select advanced optimization,
then be sure " SLEEP STANDBY OPTIMIZATION"
is toggled OFF.
Try again and cross your finger...
Cheers

Thanks @Dadditz , that was already off. Sigh. Not sure why this happens. I've tested when I get up at 7 am, sending a text from another phone, and my 6T receives it, but during the darker hours of the night, no joy. Thanks for the reply, though.

Just as a follow up, the problem seems intermittent. I got some 4 am texts from my sump alarm when the wifi went down briefly. No idea what's going on, but it's intermittent rather than constant.
