Sounds like a problem with gapps. Have you tried flashing one of the other versions?

What other versions should I try?

Just try one or two versions back. I personally havent updated to GB yet so I don't know which ones to direct you to. I know that the small package of gapps had issues.

[Q] [PATCH REQUEST] Add ADD "SENDING NETWORK TIMESTAMP" OPTION to received SMS

[Q] [PATCH REQUEST] Add ADD "SENDING NETWORK TIMESTAMP" OPTION to received SMS
Dear all,
the problem is simple...as is possible to notice, when sms arrive the displayed time is the received and not the sent one...
this fact is valid for all the new generation smartphones, iPhone included..
=> I really hate this fact because sometimes happens that my phone is off or it has not signal and, after the signal is back again, I receive tons of SMS with the same time....and perhaps some of them all already "expired" since they are referred to a past event...
old phones like Nokias, ecc. displayed ALWAYS the "sent time" and not the "received one"...
I've seen that has been already opened an issue on the Android Dev Code : http ://code. google. com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989
what is more interesting to observe is that seems the base SMS application (but also Handcent SMS) uses the local handset time for the date called thru System.currentTimeMillis()...(http ://code. google .com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989#c40)
and, as I've seen ([http ://code. google .com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989#c39) it is possible to set the "network time" using the Android.Telephony.smsMessage.getTimestampMills()
now..could someone look into this issue and try to write a patch for our Galaxy S (but also for other phones should be the same..)? because I've not so much time and I'm not very familiar with Android code..
thank you very much,
Alessandro
up
please...could someone consider this? don't you think it's an interesting feature?
I would like this feature .
I for one would welcome this change.
I'll try to write some code today and see if I can read the timestamp.

I would like to see this in action too. I'm fed up of Android not supporting some of the most basic cell phone features .

many thanks
and I think it will also useful for all the Android community!!
oh... i used to view the properties of the msg to read the sent time with nokix, already forgot that it should be sent time but not rec time
Where is possible to find the sources of the native Android SMS application?
Could anyone post them (or something similar?)..then I'll try to hack the code
If i remember correct, the HTC Desire did not have this issue with default sms client.
Hope someone will find a fix for this annoying issue soon.
Possible fix
I know it's a little late but I found an app called SMS Timestamper Fix that seems to be working so far and it's free. Hope this helps.

Bump. I once had a mms.apk that had the sent timestamp instead of received timestamp. Now no developer knows how to recreate it.

Bugs, Problems, Workarounds & Tips

Okay, perhaps a consolidated thread of verified problems and potential workarounds might be good for the forum.
I'll list what I know here and try and keep it updated. I don't intend on this thread to become a duplicated discussion thread so I'll link to other discussion threads from this one if they exist.
If you're posting a problem in this thread, please also post how you've verified the problem and on what software versions! Please don't use this thread to post "how do I" or "it keeps rebooting" because that doesn't help anyone.

Problems/Bugs:
Can't connect to WiFi-G access point with a long and complex password Android v2.2.2, Cisco Linksys WRT-400N. Password examples:
(Don'tHitMeHardOnTheHead!At0934) - does not work
ferrari99 - does work
I would appreciate independent verification of this.
Music control returns to notification shade after being disabled and after a reboot.
Doesn't happen all of the time, may be related to using ADB
Box in music app remains unchecked and must be checked and unchecked again to make controls disappear again.
Home screen displays momentarily before lock screen.
Multiple reports
No apparent impact but it shouldn't happen.
Happens with WidgetLocker too.
External SD does not mount every time.
Can't be seen, can't be remounted
I think it only happens after a "reboot" not a Power Off/Power On cycle
Only known workaround is full Power Off/On
Not sure if it's widespread so independent verification would be good.
Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986385
Workaround is to use Android Exchange client (see here)
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings.
Independant verification would be good.
Workaround is to use manual brightness setting.
Stock Lockscreen showing all messages, unread or otherwise
Only happens if you use an alternative Messaging app (HandCent, Chomp etc)
Displays total number of messages in stock app
Fix is to remove/lock messaging and mms apps in /system/app/ (see here and here)
This has consequences (nothing major) so read up about it first.
Can anybody verify behaviour with stock messaging app?
Stock Weather app is not location aware and is slow to update
Seems to be no workaround
See discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992732
I also get a reading of -18C every time I change from WiFi to cell... ?
Phone goes totally unresponsive (locked up)
See discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12186328
Possibly only whilst charging?
Battery pull seems only fix.
Feel free to post your reports, tips or workarounds!
Nice idea for a thread, should be sticked ;p
Lockscreen showing unread messages, even when all are read, when using third party messaging apps like handcent.
No workaround yet afaik.

Great thread. I hope these listed oddities can be patched up by LG. Is there any way owners can submit bug reports to manufacturers? If any 2x follower can recall, in Engadget's review in ref. to the Gallery app crash (search "Gallery" in the article) that appears to be fixed in the retail units as no user here has listed that as a reoccurring problem.
Or... I suppose we simply have to root this beast.

Custom roms may help but if this thread becomes meaningful it will eventually rank high enough to be noticed. I know of other examples here on XDA that manufacturers and carriers have monitored.

Just tried a simple PDF and an office 2003 doc, works fine here.
Another Tipp I found over at MoDaCos O2X forum:
Press and hold HOME for a second, while holding HOME press POWER button once, screen will flash and you got yourself a screen capture which will be stored on your Internal SD Card

Weird... my phone says unsupported file. Must try again. Thanks
about the messages on the lockscreen:
it shows unread msgs in stock msg-app. Open stock app and read your msgs, you'll see.
setting Notification off in stock app makes no difference, i tried that right away.
My "fix" was to use goto lockscreen instead.
I suppose one could just freeze the msg-app with titanium, but i haven't tried that myself.
Hope this helps somebody.

Yep, it's already on post 1...
Another usefull tip might be disabling/uninstalling the carkit app. Experienced a big battery drain myself and read about others with the same issue. As it appears it uses the sensors for 100% of the time.
I just got my Optimus 2X from Three ( 3 ) in Sweden. It has two pixels wich are constantly blue and says that it is an incomatible handheld with my sim card. Yay...

Text messaging issue after 4.4 update

I tried searching for this issue but I am not finding anything. After updating to Android 4.4, I am having some kind of texting issue about 50% of the time. What happens is, I am typing a text message in landscape mode and I hit send and nothing happens. I flip the phone and when it goes into portrait mode, the text area goes black (keyboard is still active at the bottom of the screen). I also cannot backspace in the message. All 3 of these effects happen together as a result of some weird glitch. I can hit the home button, then go back into that text thread and there's no draft saved. The second attempt is always successful. This only happens in text messaging. I'm using the standard built-in keyboard and I do not have Google Hangouts linked to my text messaging. I have no idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

T-Mobile HTC One 4.4 texting issues after update
I am also having texting problems too after the update. I still text using "phone" which is the old school flip phone t9 method. Several major and annoying problems have occurred after the update. First issue, auto space is forced and can't be turned off so after making up words or trying to add punctuation it will put a space and I have to back up and erase the space. The other issue is some simple words like "go" and "am" won't generate when trying to create the words using t9 also known as "phone"
I need this problem resolved or I will go nuts

T-Mobile HTC 4.4 update issues
I don't want to have to download 3 party texting applications when the stock HTC texting app is perfectly fine up until this defective 4.4 update.
They said some people were experiencing issues. I just suggested using a third party until an update either for the phone or the individual app comes out.

if a factory reset doesnt help only your carrier can help
Well, I did a factory reset and it was good for a couple of days and now it's starting to do the same thing again. Any other ideas? Do I have to talk to Verizon and/or HTC now? I've had the phone for about 5 months now. I feel like if I could just reinstall the 4.4 update that would fix the issue.

[Q] using agenda on android wear

I have a LG G watch R since yesterday. I have been trying out all te functions and different apps but I can't seem to get it to make an appointment in my google agenda. I have tried saying different things using google Now but the only thing i get it to do is to view my agenda for today. Is there a way to make entry's in my agenda using the smartwatch?
I'm still trying to find out how everything works.
Use an app like "CalenGoo" and you can add calendar event and also Task.
Thank you for your reply. So at the moment the watch can't do this by itself? It needs an app for that? That sounds strange to my but i guess i will look into that suggested app. Thanks.

Try saying "Agenda for March" - it showed up next weeks appointments (test entries) for me - otherwise if you just say "Agenda" you get today only. If you say "Agenda for month" you get full size calendar page on the screen which you cant see - and a warning that it takes a long time to display.
Jeff
Yes you can display your event but not add event without specific app
