[Q] Automatic date updating - Motorola Droid 3

Hey all. I would like to have the date on my phone for 1 day ahead of what the date really is, but whenever I reboot the device, the date is automatically syncs to the real date. I have already unchecked the option "Automatic" in time and date settings referring to the time sycing so I wouldnt have a clue whats causing this. Any help would be appreciated, Cheers.

Active Sync Always Running In My Tilt......?

Its seems Active Sync is, more times than not, running on my tilt. Is this normal? If not how do I get it to stop?
I do not sync anything so I have no use for this app with the exception of ROM updates.
its not normal for active sync to always run in your pda
but once u plug ur device to ur PC/notebook active sync will autostart
so i assume u use ur cable frequently this why u could not tell how it starts!

I know, but once you unplug Active Sync it shuts down. I cant figure why it pop-up from time to time.
I have the same problem. I can close it and a little while later it will be open again.
mine dose the same thing, I just ignore it, it dosent seem to be hurting anything.
I have the same problem as well...

No it does not hurt anything but it does slow down certain functions like web surfing, email, etc.... Thats how I became aware of it.
If anyone knows how to disable Active Sync temporary please let us know.
Yep I get the problem too and I get it on many different ROM's and I also used to get it on my M3100 (Tytn 1) with WM6.0...
I think it may be an OS thing rather than a phone thing.
Any chefs got an idea about this?
Hmmm, I thought I messed it up somehow. Evidently I'm not the only one having the same problem.

there's a regedit for it i believe, i'm almost certain i saw it when cruising my old forum (wizard)
That's how I got rid of Activesync:
Open Activesync --> Menu --> Configure Server
- enter a fake email --> Uncheck "Attempt to detect..." --> Next
- enter a fake server address --> Next
- enter a fake user & domain --> Next
- choose to syncronize no data --> Next
- "Finish"
When it's done, go back to Activesync main screen and choose:
Menu --> Schedule, and set both values to "Manually"
Now the problem should be solved.
Fulcrum
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{176F4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B}\Settings\SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled
Try set this value to zero.
Will that get rid of it completely as it is required for flashing new ROM's and I do sync my phone fairly regularly, but i dont want activesync running until i tell it to.
Besides the "create fake exchange server" fix that is mentioned previously, you also have to check in the phone options, and uncheck the "automatic change time zone" box in the "time zone" tab. It seems that every time the time is adjusted, the pda will launch Activesync as well. This problem with activesync always running and draining the battery has been around since Mobile 5.
Oh, and after you create this fake exchange server, and set the sync schedule to manual, you can go ahead and delete it. The schedule setting will remain.
Some folks have reported that if you "uncheck" the automatic time zone in the phone settings, that you will obviate the problem.
Task Manager notifications check
Hi all,
If you use dotfred's task manager to look at the notifications you will see some associated with "repllog.exe" which is the application behind ActiveSync. If there is a notification for this app entitled "AppRunAfterTimeChange" then disable it. This avoids having to unselect the the auto time change box in the Clock and Alarms applet.
Hope this helps. I've managed to stop AS launching, thanks to exs.fake.com
Cheers,

I tried this, I will update how it is working later.
Note, the original value was 5 incase you want to change it back.

Random / Phantom Alarm going off?

I'm currently running EnergyRom3.0 series (i believe the 6.05.2009 version) and for some reason every single day at 11:11am and 11:18am the alarm will go off?
obviously there is no alarm set either of those times and all alarms that are set are turned off anyways..I have checked both the Manila alarm settings, as well as through settings/clocks and alarms...both are the same and neither have any alarm set for that..
I've searched around and it seems this is known as a "phantom alarm" that used to occur on older 6.0roms? Either way, the only fix/bandaid was to use SK Tools to clear duplicate notifications..well SK tools isn't free and I don't particularly want to pay for an app that might not fix this..
Other than reflashing, does anyone have an idea how to clear this alarm??
Any help will be greatly appreciated..this is beginning to drive me crazy as every day at work it sounds..even when the phone is on silent..I suppose I temp fix it by setting the notifications to not play sound when phone is on silent but would prefer to perm fix/clear this..
Thanks in advance!
check your calendar. Maybe you have a notification set to everyday and set to remind you.

just checked to confirm and nothing there..i have never used the calendar and it is just a standard alarm that goes off..same tone and snooze/dismiss options as any normal alarm i just cant turn it off...
That sometimes happens when you mess up your database.
Did you restore any data from an earlier backup?
Try to set all of your alarms first, then unset them. Sometimes that works.
There are programs to edit the notification queue, delete duplicate alerts and so on. Try to google some and give it a try.
Good luck!
nope no back up done, just a fresh flash and activesync when it was done..
i also do set all 3 alarms everyday..i just have a few more unwanted one that also go off..the alarms sounds even if all other alarms (note different times too) are set to off..
also today, for some reason all text messages i recieve are said they were recieved an hour prior, well coincidentally my random alarm went off an hour earlier too...
i will see what i can find as far as freeware goes..
thanks

My works fine here.
You can put in settings the frequency of update that you want
You must have Data Connection always ON in order to make the automatic updates

Yes
I wil try here too and see if anything happens
well i waited an 1hr and nothing the live tile isn't so live??!? ...
Just wait. It will update itself. Patience, my young Padewan.
mine didn't update the first time until it had been left on over night, patience is key as it works a charm now.
Ok I was having problem with the tile not updating and found this solutions
Once you open the Htc hub go to Settings> UNCHECK update when opened and that was it.
also you might wanna do the download data automatically for every hour if you want updated weather on the go
Regards
You need to resave your settings after the update for the tile to save the changes I believe...
The live tile does NOT update your location automatically. It continues to update the tile with the weather conditions for the location that was most recently detected when the hub app was open.
same happen to mine
I never managed to get the live weather animation on the tile ... I've been using 1.5 for days, and the tile's image is always static
i think they need to update it again to fix bugs..because if you change locations it doesn't update the tile it only updates the wheather with the last location when the hub was open and it doesn't always update it is flakey as i know 2 other people have the same problem...
Yes, I confirm the location issue. The Hub only updates the weather but not the location.
I can see my HTC tile changing from Sun to Moon appropriately, but my city/town does not get changed until I actually launch the weather.
All my HTC apps (6) updated yesterday after going into Marketplace and the weather tile is working fine now. Phones only a couple of days old.
YT
There is an issue on the live tile on some phones that seems to happen, this happened on mine; However i reflashed with one of ansars later O2 UK roms and the live tile works perfect now for HTC Hub.

Clock drifting, won't hold time

I have noticed on all 3 of my Atrix HDs that the clock will not hold the correct time. I usually notice it when it is 10 or more minutes off. Sort of makes it unreliable as a reminder/calendar/alarm device.
Is anyone else seeing this, or have any idea what might be causing it, or how to fix it?
In an attempt to fix it, I turned off the network time feature, but I just realized that it was still off my 10 minutes. I downloaded clocksync from the play store. Now that we have root (and this problem existed on my unrooted phones) I am going to see if this program will keep the clock more accurate. I just worry about the battery drain... though I doubt it will be much.

Is it the clock itself that is not keeping the correct time or the clock widget? If it is the widget; are you using a stock widget or a 3rd party widget?

Its the system clock. I use a fancy widget clock, but when i go into the android system settings it also shows the error.
I must be catching it because i have previously not been trying to fix it, yet it is often times right.

In the date and time settings do you have both automatic date & time and automatic time zone checked? If you do there may be a problem with retrieving the correct time through the network. You may want to uncheck them and set your time manually.

I have unchecked them, an AT&T data feed issue from my local tower was my first thought. The reason I posed the question was that it is still doing it even with manually setting the time.

I assume you are running the latest firmware. I'm stumped. I want to say it could be a hardware or software issue, but on all 3 Atrixes. Just not likely. Did you try seeing if the clock syncs properly with the network in other areas where there are different towers? It just really sounds like a network issue.
You've clearly set something wrong. Maybe post screenshots of all possible settings menus?

Question DND stop working on Oxygen 13

Hi everyone,
The "Do not disturb" feature stop working after I upgraded my OnePlus 10 Pro to Oxygen 13...
still receive notification even when DND is on and with the settings configured to not allow any app to send notifications.
Does anyone had the same problem? How to make it work properly?
nope. you tried turning off and on?

I tried to turn it on and off. Reboot the phone and still doesn't work.
All visual and sound notifications still go through.
I discovered I can use the focus features to silent a specific app. But that's not what I want. I want to use the DnD as it is supposed to be used. It was working perfectly in OxygenOS 12...
i think it's time to ditch updates... need to get back to a12, they have changed to focus mode or priority mode( funny it has both of them) , so now in order to do (both features that were in dnd before) you need to go to focus mode on and put everytime you gonna install new app to put into list list of blocked apps. so you need 2 tiles in quick list to do it. it's strange that it puts app of notifications kinda slow and seems to close some apps in the process... dnd was best thing to live life with phone but i guess i need to go back to android 12. anyway the new UI is grouse
You should open your settings and make sure it is set correctly. COS13 changed the exceptions on mine so make sure your settings are correct.

As I understand it, they completely changed how DND works in OxygenOS13.
If you can choose who can "disturb you" (no one, people from your contacts or "favorites" (or whatever it is called, I´m using a different language setting) then these people can "disturb" you in ANY way. Meaning if you chose "favorites" - you will be informed about every app they use to contact you.
You will not get notifications about EVERYONE ElSE trying to contact you - even if they call. My display won´t even light up. I will just see a missed call. It´s totally useless.
I'm having this issue, after updating yesterday...
I HOPEFULLY found a solution.
In digital wellbeing's option there is the bedtime mode.
With my test today, i found that works like Oxygen 12, so the notification are silent but the calls from favorite still rings.
In oxygen 12 anyway, there was a bug with this feature, if is set with the optimized battery charge of Oxygen.
Tomorrow I will update you if is really working or not.
Anyway, OP is really messing up everything. It's a shame.
