ADM cannot locate or ring phone - SOLVED - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I had no problem with this prior to the last update. Now ADM cannot locate my phone, nor make it ring. Is anyone else having this issue?
Edit: Finally located it and rang, like 30 minutes later. I wonder if it has something to do with turning the data off every night.

Date / Time freezes

Sorry if this has been asked/answered before.
I couldn't find anything with search.
When I leave my phone - charging or overnight - the clock seems to stop.
Currently, it's Sunday night and my phone thinks it's Saturday evening.
Reseting it fixes the problem.
Anything I should be doing I'm not or vice versa?
I have experienced a similar problem, where time stops but when I activate it it suddenly moves, two minutes per second until it catches up. Needless to say the alarm did not work either.
I have some experimenting to do to investigate the exact circumstanses when this occurs.
The same for me as I reported that previously but nobody answered

Incoming Text Message Sound Changes Spontaneously

I have searched all over for this, but cannot seem to find anyone else having this particular problem, so I am curious. Sorry if this does not apply to you.
Here we go:
First of all, has anyone else noticed that their incoming text message notification sound gets changed occasionally to the default WM one (not the SE one) without you doing anything to change it?
Second of all, if you answered yes to the above have you noticed any correlation between the sound changing and a wired headset getting plugged in?
I am curious because I have been having this problem and I think I might have found the trigger. This has happened on every ROM (R1,R2,R3,Itje's,valkery's) I have ever flashed, so I do not think that it is a ROM specific bug. I dont know how many people use the wired headset that came with the X1, but surely if this isnt a ROM specific bug I am not the only one having trouble with it.
Is anyone else having this problem?
The same thing was happening to me, I wasn't sure why it was doing that either. I guess it wasn't that big of a deal so I decided to keep the original default one. Kind of sucks that it does that. If anyone has a solution to the problem let me know!
the only time i notice this is when i remove my memory card. As i store my ringtones on there if i remove it and a text or call comes through the X1 will default to the standard one.
Once i have reinstalled the card i can select my tone again.
does this help?
glad to hear I am not the only one.
I can understand why it would do that with the memory card removed and the sound file no longer preent, but maybe that bit of information can help us find out the real issue.
I will do some digging, as I am pretty proficient with these things. Thanks for the input guys.
I noticed it used to do that on my old X1i... it wasn't that it would randomly change the sound, it was that suddenly the sound I was using would disappear! I had to re-copy the sounds back on to my phone every other week, and I had no idea why it kept disappearing
I noticed this problem on my X1 as well.
Not sure what triggered the change to default tone.

do you use a wired headset?
I've noticed the tone changing to the default "beep" when i receive a message whilst i am on a call. Then i have to manually change it back to the one i had before.
I have the same sometimes, and also my auto brightness and optical joystick settings are changed occasionally. dunno why, but it doesn't happen very often.
I had this happen the other week. I wasn't touching the phone other than having an sms conversation over the course of a few hours with the phone going into standby between sms's. All was going well with my normal sms tone and then suddenly it changed. I hadn't touched any other settings or added or removed anything. I don't know if it is related but a couple of days later, the sound went to half volume through my speaker until I rebooted.
I don't think taking out the memory card is the issue. I've had the tone saved in the phone memory so I don't think it would be affected if I eject the memory card. I'll have to test out the wireless/wired headset to see if that does anything once I get my phone back from repair. It was supposed to come in yesterday but didn't, hopefully today.
Never happened to me.
May happen due to changing the placement of the desired sms tone in the device's memory (changing the folder).
mine has just started doing this in the past week, weird....
This happens to me every time I start SKTools, it's weird.
Hi guys
it happens to me as well...
Hi
I get this too. My sound file is saved under windows folder on the device. Can not pinoint it to an act or happening on the phone which triggers it.
This has happened to me as well. I have noticed, everytime I turn the volume off, the ringtone changes.
I had the same problem..But..
I installed a trial version of panoramic phone genius and SPB MS3.01 and later replaced phone genius with SPB PHone Suite and S2U2.
Now this no longer happens. The sound would change especially after I reset the phone (turned off and then on). Now this no longer occurs. Hope this helps.

[Q] Input Issues and Data Connection Drops

Hey there.
I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 Active on the AT&T network. Recently, I've been plagued by a number of troubles.
Bit of background:
For a while, I had the most bizarre issue: the screen thought I was touching it when I wasn't, near the bottom-middle of the screen, and would attempt to open/click on anything in that area. Often turning the screen on and off would help, for a little while. I was reaching my wits' end, because that would obviously be very frustrating to someone who uses their phone frequently throughout the day.
I thought maybe it had been new software I had installed, so I did a factory reset. Problem remained. I factory reset with NO backups. Problem remained. I updated to 4.4.2 via OTA. Problem remained...
And then mysteriously went away on its own.
I've been working in tech for a decade now, mainly in PC and server architecture, so I know better than to look a gift horse in the mouth - but I also know better than to think a problem that "mysteriously" goes away is gone for good. So the first part of my question: does anyone know what could have possibly been causing this?
I'm not super phone-savvy. I've rooted and flashed a few phones in the past couple years, but I'm by no means developer-level.
---------------------
Which brings me to my next problem... around the time that this issue went away, another one cropped up. Randomly, my phone will stop sending/receiving texts/calls, and the data connection will not function. This will continue until I turn on airplane mode and turn it off--at that point I receive all my missed texts, and it works again... sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for nearly 2 days. It's really frustrating. I've tried factory resets, I've tried restoring default APNs... but I'm at my wit's end with this. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
I should add that, with my last issue, it still shows a data connection in the notification bar - but there is none, or at least, no activity on it. It doesn't simply act as if it's in airplane mode and go "wah no data network" as soon as I try using it--it just simply hangs for ~30 seconds, then times out. Messages don't get received, webpages don't load, calls don't get placed, etc.

[Q] Radio shuts off for ten seconds after every call

I'm running 4.3 rooted on ML2, stock ROM. Within the last week I started experiencing a strange problem - after every single phone call made or received, I lose all network connection for about ten seconds. I get the circle with the line through it. Going into settings shows actual connection drop, not just the icon. Then, the connection reappears. I've made no modifications since rooting it in April, nor do I recall removing or freezing any apps any time recently. Powering down and/or removing the battery has done nothing to help.
Any ideas what would cause this? I can't find any threads here, or through a google search, discussing this problem. Any help is appreciated.
Update - same problems when running in safe mode.
Well, this seems to have been a local network problem, as the issue has magically disappeared. Nothing exciting to report.

Remove SIM card and clean?
Yep - did every trick in the book. Even reflashed via Odin to be sure I didn't have a corrupted radio file. It just started working again. I"ve seen the same problem reported in other parts of the country, apparently the result of something AT&T was doing to the network.

Huawei p9 EMUI 5 update broke a few things, please help.

After the update a few issues have risen. I've attempted to search for solutions for each one, with no avail.
These are issues that never happened before the update, and started right on the next day.
1. Audio apps close when locking the screen.
When I have a podcast running (on beyondpod) and I lock the screen from the off button, the app will either keep running, or close.
I have found a few questions like this on here and other forums, but none with a definative answer.
I've done a few of the suggestion, like cleared the cache. But is there an actual solution to this?
2. Bluetooth turns off/loses connection to my pebble 2. I think these might be connected.
While using a bluetooth headset, there are no issues. However I constantly (should) have my pebble connected to my phone. However, very quickly it loses the connection. It randomly finds the connection again randomly, but it wont stay connected for very long. Sometimes I catch my phone with the bluetooth turned off, however turning it back on wont neccessarily connect it to the pebble. I also tested out with IFTT, and everytime the phone cut the bluetooth connection it woul send me a notification. And it happened multipe times within the hour. Sometimes taking tens of minutes to reconnect, sometimes not reconnecting it at all.
3. Google Timeline (the thing that draws a map of where you've been and how you've traveled)
I used this to follow my cycling and walking, since step counters dont recongnize cycling very well or at all. However since the update the pages are all empty. It just wont recognize my movement at all. I later noticed that the location gathering accesses had been reset, but even after giving them access again there is absolutely nothing saved onto my timelines.
Please, if you have any ideas what is doing this, or any ideas how to fix one, or each of these, leave a reply...
If nothing else I'll have to rollback to Marshmallow... And I've really grown to like the split screen!
hi, having same problem as #3 on my brand new Huawei Mate 10 pro. did you ever solve the issue? thanks
