TWRP Date/Time Problem - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

I am running TWRP v3.3.1-0 and I notice the date and time are way off. 2 years ago and several hours and many minutes behind the time. I made sure the time zone is set correct. I had it set for 24 hour time and changed it to 12 hour time, its still wrong. When I boot back to the system (LineageOS 15.1) the date/time is correct. Otherwise TWRP works as it should.
Any ideas ?

Problem related to Roaming Indicator Off
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/roaming-indicator-off-t4088323
Thread title: Roaming Indicator Off
When I turn on Enhanced 4G LTE Mode (VoLTE), my carrier display is changed to “Roaming Indicator Off”.
My phone is XT1687 64GB/4GB + 128GB SD. LineageOS 15.1-20200414 (GothicIV, security patched Apr 5, 2020). My carrier is US Mobile as a virtual carrier of Verizon.
If I clear cache or remove SIM; reboot; reinsert, it displays US Mobile for a while – but then it goes back to “Roaming Indicator Off”. (Don’t do the #228# as it puts the phone in 3G only mode!!!)
From what I read this is a problem with the “Preferred Roaming List (PRL)”. This appears to be a carrier/provider problem – but I read it’s common in custom ROMs.
Any ideas to fix – besides turning off 4G?
=================================================================================================
When the phone shows the proper carrier; TWRP shows the correct date and time. When the phone is displaying "Roaming Indicator Off", the year shows 2018 in TWRP and the files it creates. In PERSIST , there is a "Time" directory, I was advised to erase them and reboot - and it had no effect.

If TWRP works fine then I'd wouldn't worry about the time and date honestly. Otherwise I believe you can set it manually.

[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.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
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?

Mobile Data Issue

Hello everyone!
I've problem with switching mobile data on.
I've tried many custom roms and i thought the issue was gone after a week of hassle-free experience, BUT...
yesterday i used mobile data for 3 hours listening to music by Tidal, switched data off and i went asleep. After awaking, i tried to turn it on and the problem appeared again.
What's the problem?
There r 2 symptoms:
1. - mobile data toggle button is active (LTE shown in the left upper corner of the toggle) when i swipe down notification bar , but not on status bar (there is nothing, not even “x“, when i have data disabled, so it looks like it's trying to connect to mdata and it can't). Overall effect: there is no internet, even though toggle behaves like there is no problem, quickly shows this LTE in the corner. Toggling on and off doesnt help.
2. - i practice a lot in the basement, where's simply signal void.
during this everythin-works-week my phone had no problem with finding signal after exiting the basement. now it takes a looot of time to find an operator.
Solution for both, whats also strange: HARD reboot. SOFT reboot doesnt fix anything.
Anyone has a clue whats going on with my phone?
(currently i'm on AOSP-OMS-7.0-20161111-lux-nickv)

HELP...How to turn on radio for network signal?????

Hi, I was using my G935V normally on 4G LTE (like I´ve been using it for more than a year in Mexico´s Telcel Network), but suddenly I stop receiving any signal. I know that could happen for a few minutes but after hours I got worried. I started researching what the problem could be:
1.- SIM: I checked it in another exact same phone, and it worked so I know that is not the problem.
2.-SIM pins are probably fine because the phone shows the "SIM card is not Verizon..."
3.- I tried restarting, also wiping cache and the factory reset. But nothing works.
4.-Apparently the IMEI is fine (not null or blocked)
5.- I tried to use the verizon update assistant but didn´t work too. It stops like at 83% of repairing and then it shows that the device was disconnected. (I have tried this several times and the same thing happens again and again)
6.- I downloaded the "Hidden settings" app to change the radio info, and I noticed that the "radio is off" (so i guess this is the real problem) but every time i try to turn it "on" it goes back to "off". It does not allow me to change the "preferred network type" (it says unknown).
7.-I have checked some posts that propose to make something to remove the "static charge" off the phone but you have to remove the battery (and like probably every body here knows you can´t do that with the s7).
8.- I don´t know why but it looks like the airplane mode is on because the icon is on, but settings says it is off.
So if anyone has a different option that could (and fortunatekly would) work, please write it. Thanks for your attention.

I fixed the problem by flashing an unlocked ROM from Sammobile (from G935V to G935U). Seems to work fine and you get rid of the bloatware (got some people a Win/Win situation)
i have had the same problem for 2 1/2 years. leave the phone for a while until it's the battery goes dry . when i charge it again it comes back with the signal. it works fine until it is restarted if you power it off it back to no signal at all.

A40 missing notifications when phone locked

Problem getting notifications from apps (Probably may occur on other devices with OneUI as I found on S9 forum)
Issue:
Whenever the device goes into sleep (screen turned off, at least 10 minute period passes) I no longer receive notifications from various apps like Gmail, Whatsapp, Messenger Lite, etc.
Steps taken:
1. Device Care / Battery / Settings:
- disabled "auto disable unused apps"
- prepared the list of apps to be put to sleep when device not in use (the above WERE NOT included)
2. Device Care / Memory / Apps that aren't checked:
- added all apps mentioned above
3. Settings / Apps / Special access / Optimise battery usage:
- disabled for all apps mentioned above
4. Tested also the same with all "adaptive battery", "put unused apps to sleep" etc DISABLED.
Note:
Device is not muted and/or not in "do not disturb" mode. All normally working fine (up till couple of minutes).
Problem:
After couple of minutes I stop receiving any notifications....
Is it OneUI specific? Anybody knows anything?
Device is not rooted, not modified, running latest (11.04.2019) available stock firmware (XEO).

Hi,
Not having such a problem here,
With what you specified, i see that the issue could be in wifi settings, did you check if your connection is not stopped when phone goes in deep sleep? There's an option in wifi settings for that...

Unfortunately the issue is not that simple. It appears both while connected via wifi at home and also if connected to LTE only when outside.
Additionally the option you are refering to does exist in Samsungs Nougat roms but does not in Pie.
Well. Maybe the upcoming May update will fix this (I've seen on sammobile that this firmware is being rolled out in Europe)
As suggested by @dulemars on another thread I've tried to enable always on for mobile network (developer options - see attached screenshot). Let's see if this helps
edit: just tested couple of times, unfortunately - does not work
Ok - here's some more info.
Finally after doing again (for the 7th? 8th? time) all the above (including making mobile data active to always) and including Whatsapp, etc apps into the exception lists for memory checking and disallowing battery optimisations for them AND (that is the important bit) when I changed firmware to new update (unfortunately since the update for XEO is not available as for now, I've chosen to install firmware from another region - BTU) issues seems to be resolved (tested several times and well... I am receiving notifications now).
Firmware which does work is the firmware from May 2019 ( A405FNXXU1ASE3 ) but as I said before... at least for me - it requires some painful customuzations... which is insane... previously I just installed any messaging/mailing app and... it worked out of the box...
edit a day later: not quite working, still sometimes messages are not delivered ontime (i.e. with 20-30 minute delay), it is observable better since this patch but still not ok.
any clues anyone?
Since I was not able to resolve this frustrating issue I've decided to sell my A40.
Bought (again) new A40. And... well... no issue so far (but I have firmware from 01.07.2019 so not sure if this is firmware or hardware related after all (although if hardware then this would be quite weird).

LTE data connection not working after a disable/enable in Android 10 for Redmi 2

Hi all,
I am using Android 10 port for Redmi 2 ( Lineage 17.1 and tried a POSP v3.1.8+13 port too ). Upon boot up, my device is able to connect to LTE and data is available. But if I turn off data once and then try to turn it on, the quick settings bar shows Mobile data is ON and says H or H+ mostly, but in reality data is not turned on( the top status bar also doesn't show data in this case-it shows correctly on the first time when data is actually available ). I tried the usual ' Turn on and off Airplane mode' but it didn't helped. I disabled my Data usage limit, changed preferred type to GSM+WCDMA+LTE and some other values, made sure Access point etc. is correct ( obviously, as the first time it works fine ), but nothing works. If I reboot with data still turned on, data will be available upon boot up. If I reboot with data turned off, and if I turn it on manually once device if up, it works fine. In either case, if I turn off the data and then turn on again, it doesn't work.
Is this a known issue? Is there any way to work around this? While I can live with infrequent reboots, I still would prefer to keep data off and use WiFi and turn on the data when required without a reboot
Thanks in advance
i dont know
