[Q] Problem with Phone Clock

Hi,
I'm using I9000XXJP3 Froyo Firmware and I have noticed since the day i bought this phone till today, every time i set the time on my mobile it doesn't keep up and in few hours have 5 mins difference and normally phone clock is always behind actual time.
Anyone who face this problem or know what could be the reason or a solution?

Yes, I and a few other people have had the same exact problem, check out the jp3 bug thread. One of the guys here recommended using a program called ClockSync, which you syncs the clock every few hours. Seems to have done the job for me, but you will need to root your phone.

its a known bug from this rom, clock laggs and battery icon laggs to

Seriously, go into Settings > Date and Time and select the checkbox that has your phone take the time from your network, see if that helps.
Beyond that, the internal clock of most devices is powered by a seperete battery. It sounds like that battery is going dead or there is a hardware problem that is causing the clock to run slow. Next step would be a service center or learn to live with being back in time.

thanks for the help
ive downloaded clock sync which seems to work for the time being

The SGS has no separate battery for time as if you remove the battery for about 5 mins, your clock will be reset.
My guess would be that the network time is turned ON and sending you false data. Just uncheck it and set the correct time and it should stay that way.

[Q] nightly crashes/reboots?

does the incredible s reboot nightly for anyone?
My wife tells me that every night the phones light shines very brightly all of a sudden and it it either makes a sound or vibrates. I am a sound sleeper so I don't wake up.
This morning I noticed that there is a notification telling me if I want to send the report to HTC for the system crash. And I think I've seen this every day, but I just didn't pay attention to it.
So could the phone be crashing or rebooting every night?

I haven't heard of it before ... not that i can recall at least.
It sounds like that is exactly what is happening, the bright light, the sound, the vibrate... and of course the crash report.. lol...
it is quite odd for it to happen only during the nights though, seems like some event at a particular time triggers it
First try:
Try uninstalling a few apps which could be doing this, for example some app that is set to go off or update ( a weather app or location app for example ) at certain intervals of time.
Last shot:
i would back up all my data and do a factor reset or even better an update to 2.3 if ur not already on it!
P.S ... sorry i cant think of another solution at this point of time maybe some other members can help !

I had GPS turned off last night. Tonight I am going to turn off autosync. Then the next night I'll look into weather. I sorta wish there was an app that would just turn my phone off each night at a certain time.
I'm not sure I can upgrade to gingerbread. I have asia (708) phone. And I'm not convinced the gold card trick for the wwe version works. I figure I can just wait a month for the OTA.

Do you have a management app with a night profile turned on lile juice defender?

Last night I had installed "Night Mode" app. Didn't really work as far as stopping the bright lights. And I don't think its the cause, since I've noticed this several nights in a row. I'll look into juice defender.

I had my fair share of random reboots, however, not nightly
I almost wanted to sent the phone back to HTC, but due to tight travelling schedules, I couldn't.
I tried a couple of things, but I think the action that made all the difference was formatting the SD card with the phone
Maybe you can give it a shot... but please backup all your current data on the SD card first, or use another card
Good luck
PS: Gold card trick worked fine for me... Singapore purchased IS

Disable/uninstall all powermanagers and task managers. Like juice defender and others.
SD card format could work, but its to timed I guess.
If you are charging overnight, use the charger u got with your phone and make sure it has some space so you don't overheat.
After that and nothing works, a factory reset is one of your only options...

Keep trying ... if nothing works out, just factory reset to get rid of it permanently, after taking a back up....

I had a few but non since i upgraded to 2.3.

Hi,
I encounter the same problem and is not happening during the night, it happens just any time. I have no Juice Defender anymore and it was upgraded to 2.3...Still it happens, seldom...
Any more ideas where to look?
Thanks

The past couple of nights it has not happened. Each night I make sure to turn off auto synchronization. I am going to try a few more things.... But for now it looks like some app is trying to synchronization and causing the reboot.

Date and time reset after change of battery

Guys, today I encountered a problem on my Galaxy Note.... when I remove and replace the battery (a proper switching off the phone), I need to reset the date and time again!!! This is the FIRST time I have encounter this!! Previously, nothing wrong at all?
Any experts here knows what is going on??

I've had this too. I have 2 spare batteries as battery life on my Note is pathetic. Sometimes when I switch them it will rest the date/time. I've installed Clocksync from the market to auto sync with a time server on boot. It may still happen every now and then but I don't see it because Clocksync does it's thing before I notice.

lol same here, never encountered that before but now it happens everytime i take the damn battery out.

I resolved it by ticking the automatic time zone.

Check the option
"Settings > Date and Time > automatic date and time"
This should pull the time from ur network operator

I recently came across this issue as I had to change my SD card several times. I do have auto time sync enabled but the sync occurs about 1-2 minutes after the phone booted. Which leads to various annoying issues with different apps (e.g. Reminders pop up again, Alarms go off, previously scheduled and already sent SMS are re-sent etc.).
I just stumbled across this post. Not sure whether the Galaxy Note has a BAT500 or similar battery/capacitor. My Note is ~1 yr. old and unfortunately I can't remember if it ever kept the date & time. So I'm wondering if I should send it in for warranty. But that post made me wonder too:

I recently bought a spare battery and followed the guide saying it's better to charge the battery when it's really low. So I encountered my phone battery totally flat sometimes, especially in the morning. I guess the small battery on the board that keeps the date and time up to date runs empty when a totally flat battery is still in the phone for some time. I think this date-and-time-reset thing Might not happen that fast compared to a phone without a battery in it (like when it's new). The circuit is complete for the small battery on board to discharge fast with a "totally flat" battery in the phone I guess?
If anyone knows about this, and solved it, please help here. Thanks.
I hope after a few charges the battery on board can restore? Or it has to be replaced?

not sure if you get the battery on the board to replace

Hi Massimo 2001,
The N7000 has a BAT600 on board. There are schematics circulating on the web. As far as I can see, this is purely a hardware issue and should be covered by warranty.
I have had the same problem and have now sent my Note in for repairs. Will let you know how it works out.

Too bad, I'm no longer on warranty.

[Q] Google Now reminders gone crazy for anyone else?

Starting last night, setting Google Now reminders is no longer working correctly. I'll issue a command to set a reminder at some time in the future (like "remind me to do something at 9am tomorrow"), the screen that comes up has the right date/time, then when I say "yes" to confirm, the confirmation screen that comes up has the reminder for three hours earlier than I asked for (6am). I can reproduce this 100%. This was working fine earlier in the week. If I issue a command to set up a reminder in 15 minutes from now, same thing, it gets set for three hours in the past on the final confirmation screen and says "this reminder is in the past". I'm on an unlocked Moto X, 4.4.3.
Thought it was just me, but it's now happening to my wife as well, she's on a locked Moto X (AT&T), 4.4.2.
I Googled around as much as I could and couldn't find anyone else having this specific problem. Can anyone confirm that this is/is not happening to them?

Make sure your date and time settings are set to automatic or, if not, make sure the correct date, time, and time zone are correct. I think may have a problem there. I just used google now to set an alarm in 15 minutes and set a reminder for 8:00 am tomorrow and they are both correct. (T-Mo, 4.4.3, unlocked)

That's the first thing I checked, on both affected phones, settings are correct. Thanks for the tip though. The strange thing is that the first GN screen shows the correct date/time, but the confirmation screen that comes up after you confirm the reminder has the wrong time.

Wipe cache and data for google search under settings->apps then log back in to Google Now, see if anything changes.
I can't reproduce the behavior you described unfortunately so I have no way of troubleshooting it on my end.

Just tried it, no luck.
Another interesting find: when it asks for confirmation of the reminder date/time, if I say "yes", it sets it for three hours earlier which is then displayed on the confirmation screen. However, if I click the on-screen button to confirm the reminder date/time (instead of saying "yes"), then the alert is set for the correct time.
And again, this is happening on two different Moto X's running two different versions of Android...

No, been in the same house for over 10 years. Haven't been out of my time zone in over a year...

If your rooted try uninstalling google search, reboot, then reinstall google search from play store.
Also check your calendar apps (stock any any 3rd party) to see if any manual time zone issues are there. Since no one else can reproduce it, its probably something on your device.

I tend to agree with you, except that the same problem started affecting my wife's phone on the same day. Other than both being on AT&T, she's stock 4.4.2 and I have an unlocked DE with 4.4.3. Both using stock calendar, time zones are correct. I'll try uninstalling GS but that won't be an option for her.

Same Issue
I have the same issue, reminder is getting set 3 hours prior to the time I specified.

Even worse
mine is same but worse...it sets the reminder 12:30 hrs before the mentioned time...i tried at 11:00 p.m. ..it gets set at 10:30 a.m. :crying:

same here...
I have pretty much the same problem and I think I kind of understand what is happening...
Ok, when I set the reminder by voice on Google Now, say "remind me to check the oven in 20 minutes" he will do just that, until now everything is going smoothly, but then it asks me "do you want to set it?" and when I reply "yes" it reloads the screen and then, for some reason I can't understand, the clock now shows 4 hrs late... It will even show me a message "this reminder is in the past"...
So, it happens on the reload, every time it reloads the remainder's clock is set back 4 hours. If I say just "remind me in two hours" it will set the clock correctly, but as soon as it asks me "what is the reminder?" and I say "check my pizza" it will reload the clock back 4 hrs, and finally when it asks me if I want to set it and I say "yes" it reloads again and sets me back another 4 hours for a total of 8 hours...
Note that if after you ask google to set it, you just click "remind me at this time" (set it manually with your thumb) it will not reaload and therefore never get a chance to alter the time of the reminder...
It is a very weird problem.... I wonder if anyone will be able to shed some light on it.
My device is a Galaxy Nexus running android 4.3, and it is rooted.
Thanks in advance

Well, sorry it's happening to you, but I now know I'm not the only one (I was starting to question my own sanity).
Yes, what you describe is exactly what I described in the first page of this thread - confirming with voice causes the problem which is then evidenced on the reload of the confirmation screen, but confirming by clicking the on-screen button sets the time appropriately. Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to correct the problem. I reported it on the Moto X users forum on Motorola.com, but you confirmed it's not specific to the Moto X, which is useful information.
Also, this does seem to be a fairly recent problem, at least for me - this was working fine earlier last week.

Same issue as well
Got the same thing happening on both my Moto X and Nexus 7. -3 hour time difference.

i have confirmed the same issue with Moto G...me and my friend both have this issue on X and G...the reminder sets 12 hours/12 and half hours in the past...so it seems to be a Google problem and i guess it has something to do with the time zone..

Me too have this problem on moto x. Mine is an Indian one.
When i say - remind me to check game in 20 mins, lets say the time is 7 40 pm, it displays correctly the time as 8 00 pm.. But when i say yes as confirmation, the page reloads with time as 7 20 am.
Tried with time setting as network and manual time.. Both has this issue..

I was able to create the problem with the voice confirmation of a reminder. My reminders step back one hour. I'm in the Mountain time zone, so it resets my time to Pacific time. If you are in Central time do you reset 2 hours? East time zone resetting 3 hours?
Edit: 'Set alarm for 1 pm today' works fine. It looks like just the reminders are messed up.

problem is...
Yes, the time is "set back" only once it reloads, and every time "google voice" has to reload it is "set back" again.
To me it is clear it is a google problem, likely a problem in the integration between "google voice" and "google calendar". Maybe?

UTC -3 here and the time is reset 4 hours.
And yes, the problem occurs after voice confirmation, but more precisely after google now refreshes the page.

Exact same issue
I believe this is a Google now issue and not specific to the device model.
I tested it out on my brother's Moto-X and also on two other Nexus 5 phones and the result was same, the reminder was set back by 12 hours and got set in the past.
From India, GMT +5:30.
Hopefully google resolves this bug soon.

It's also happening on my Galaxy S5. I have to add 3 hours to any spoken reminder request (EDT). Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
