[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phantomjerky:
(Let me preface that it looks like the problem has resolved itself. I still want to post, though, to see if anyone might know what the problem was and how to fix it if it happens again.)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (i727) and it is non-rooted, with no custom launchers or anything like that. I'm going to explain exactly what I did right before my date/time got messed up in case that has anything to do with it. I apologize in advance because this is going to be kinda long.

Yesterday (1-23-2012) I was playing Mario RPG during my lunch break. SNES A.D. usually works pretty well, but it was being super laggy. I kept glancing at the second hand on my watch (analog) to make sure I had enough time before I had to go back. I seemed to have plenty of time so I decided to mess with the settings on SNES A.D. to try to cure the lag. Nothing helped, and I made sure I had closed everything else using the built-in task manager widget thing. I even closed the game and cleared the memory in the RAM tab, but it wouldn't go below 400-something. I went to the Application section in Settings and tried to close some running processes that I NEVER use, like Social Hub and Accu Weather, etc. They would not stay off. I even tried to clear cached processes. (Did I mention I HATE bloatware?) Finally I gave up and resigned myself to play a bit more of the game even though it was super laggy. After a couple of minutes I heard my boss talking to a guy in the hall, and I knew that guy had an appointment at 3:00. I turned off the game and looked at the time on the phone and it said 1:45. I was confused about why that guy would show up so early. It was time to go back to work, so I grabbed my stuff and went back to my desk. As I was setting my stuff down I noticed the time on my work phone and computer was 2:45! I immediately panicked, thinking I had taken a 2-hour lunch. I looked at my watch more closely to make sure the computer and phone weren't messed up, and sure enough it was 2:45. It took me a little while to realize that I had gone to lunch at 1:45. In any case, I knew my cell was messed up and when I checked the settings I saw that it had changed to Central time instead of Eastern. The Automatic box was checked, too. I manually changed it back to Eastern. I tried rebooting the phone, but every time I would try to check Automatic it would switch to Central again. Finally, tonight (1-24-12) I decided to try posting here. I checked the phone one more time, but this time when I selected Automatic it stayed on Eastern. Go figure.

Also, on a possibly unrelated note, my phone was acting up a bit late last night. I tried watching something right quick on Netflix and the video was being super laggy while the audio was fine. Also, my sister was texting me but I kept getting the same text 7 times in a row at 1-minute intervals, but with the same timestamp. It happened with two different messages. I finally just turned off my phone to charge so I wouldn't keep hearing the buzz. I haven't had any other problems today to note.

I've seen the time change when switching networks sometimes. I guess some towers are not setup properly as it's transmitting the wrong time. I've seen this on other phones as well. It's a cell tower issue.

Hi guys, just wondering. Will our myTouch 4G get the official ICS update at all? or they will left us behind?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Initially HTC said they would, but tthen the representative said she was "confused" or something. So no I don't think we will get the update.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
I just saw a list of devices that will be receiving official ics updates. Mt4g is not on they list. Ill look for my source and post it.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/07/htc-announces-specifics-on-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrades/?m=false

I know it says that a variety of devices which mean more devices than what are listed. But look at the list. Devices that came out way after the mt4g. Also mainly dual core devices.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shekki:
I highly doubt that the mytouch 4G will receive the official ICS update from HTC. Technically the device is done with its shelf life, which is why i doubt that it'll get an update. It's fine with me though, seeing as my contract ends this year and I'll be picking up a device that will either be updated to ICS or already comes with ICS on it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mansisingh:
According to HTC all phones released in 2011 will get ICS and Canadian variant of MT 4G known as Panache was released in 2011. So it should get ICS update
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virakcam:
Thanks guys. I hope to see the custom ROM with ICS but most of them the camera is not working. not just for the MT4G, most of devices are the same. Do you know why it is so hard like this?;)

Lumo v1.0.4

Requirements:

Overview:

Get Lumofied! Lumo is a highly addictive arcade game, where your goal is to connect, chain and pop same colored circles while dodging mismatching colors from interfering the connection.

In Classic Mode, your goal is to get the best possible score. You climb up Phases while doing so, adding difficulty but more opportunities to hit it big time.

In Match Mode, your goal is to match a specific number of circles, indicated on screen. This gets ever trickier with more circles, and creates interesting puzzle-like gameplay moments.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illuminerdi:
Does anyone know of a method for simulating or injecting touch events? Monkeyrunner can do them but that doesn't quite seem like what I need. My goal is to make an app that lets the user map physical key presses to touch screen positions to provide physical key support to apps/games that lack it.

Ideally I'm looking for a non-rooted method but a method that requires root is acceptible if nothing else exists.

The first step would be to find a way to inject touch events into the system in an app-independent way.

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
I thought this was pretty BS, and wanted to share this. I bought the games less than 2 months ago and wanted to download them to my new Note. Here is their response back to me.

"Unfortunately, you can not get the games back on your new phone. According to Gameloft policy if you buy a game, you can re-download it to the same phone with the same phone number within 3 years of your purchase. If the phone model or number was changed by the customer's own initiative, Gameloft has the right to refuse re-sending the game.

You can not re-download or transfer games which you bought on your old phone (model 1) to the new phone (model 2), because we produce each game-build for one particular phone to ensure the best quality and to prevent piracy. If you want to have games on your new phone, I'm afraid you will have to buy them again.

Sorry for the inconveniences. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Best regards, -------------------------------Deepesh Mohan Customer Care Agent http://www.gameloft.com/"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] William Haven:
great way to prevent piracy...

not!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Yeah, i don't like Gameloft and this is a good reason to not buy anything from them. They won't change their policy as long as customers are "fine" with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scottmog:
I got 20 of their hd games for free through torrents.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
Yah, seems increasingly like in the name of "piracy" (think DRM) the paying user is the one that gets hurt the most.

Honestly, I'm not going to cry over a few dollars, but I'm very shocked that they are taking this stance. All they had to do to keep me happy was very simple, but yet they still refused. To me that's a smack in the face.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
I don't think they believe in good customer service. Even the customer service person replied somewhat apologetically that they do not offer refunds.

Had purchased the Adventures of Tintin game for the SGS2, then upgraded to the Note about 1 month after the purchase, only to find out the game was incompatible. When the game was first released, there were no indications that it was not compatible with any devices. To a not very techie layperson, it would make sense for a game that runs on tablets--the ipad reportedly has it--to run on a phone too. :rolleyes:

Because of this incident, I'm thinking of boycotting their games, not that they're that fantastic to the fairer gender anyway!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
This is why ios wins, I'm niether an apple fan boy nor android fan boy and please nobody hate on me but I love my android phone and all but you cannot deny that apple basically is an efficient OS wise, you would never have such issues on apple devices. Don't get me wrong android has its perks with a variety of phones designs and brands but honestly I think iOS is the best mobile operating system out there. And don't get me started about their app store or iTunes, unlike android you wouldn't need to trouble yourself rooting and downloading market enabler just so you can enjoy the us version of the app store, isn't a pain when you need to do in apply purchases

Bottom line ANDROID needs to upgrade their market together with ICS update

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dancairo:
"because we produce each game-build for one particular phone to ensure the best quality and to prevent piracy"

That made me laugh! isn't this the perfect way to encourage piracy? As I have said elsewhere, When I purchase any app/game I then find the apk as a backup. It's mine, I paid for it, and I will bloody well do what I want with it other than sharing. That's my 'policy' :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] legion1911:
To use the app you bought you have to prove every time again that you are using the app on the same device that bought the app. Every time they check your phone id, your phone number, your market account, your exact gps position.

Soon they will require that you use the app on the same phone, same network provider, same market account, same phone number, same country, and maximum 50 km distance from the gps position you had when you bought the app.

Not joking.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
Not the story they told me when I bought a few games few months ago. When I enquired that I was soon going to buy another phone and asked if I buy games if I can get the game on my new phone like on the Android market, they said yes. Don't remember if I called them our asked on their website. Haven't yet had time to get the apk off my old phone and pt it in my new phone.guess my games that I bought won't work on my new note too contrary to what was told to me by them. In that scenario if they deliberately gave me wrong information then I will find other ways to play the game I legally bought.

I am about to port my number to another mobile provider guess they will now try to block the games I bought on my note.isn't that a restrictive trade practice preventing customers from changing mobile providers. Obviously the New network will give me a new Sim card even when they port my number.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
I also kept the apk I downloaded and it is labelled as compatible for a "Droid X." Howver, 2 of the 3 I bought worked on my Note. So there is still a chance your games will work, but I can't say for sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tubgirl:
Somebody please tip the XDA crew about this and maybe they'll put it on the Portal. I had no idea that they could refuse re-download if you change your phone and I think the news need to be spread so that we can decide if we want to buy software from such companies or not. I always liked to pay for Android software since I know I'll be able to use it long term... I wont buy Gameloft games anymore, that's for sure.

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
I agree! Honestly it is easier to just go to 4shared and download a pirated copy that won't be limited to a single device, but I like to support developers who create good apps/games or else where would we be?

I don't know... this was pretty BS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TML1504:
source?

and how do they plan to enforce that?

i bought a few games from them and denied this checks from the beginning on with LBE privacy guard

what's when i'm abroad on vacation or a business trip??

i wont be able to play my LICENSED game??

must be a joke, no?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
Yah, he's being sarcastic, but I think what he is pointing out is just how far they could go if they wanted to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] godwinvandamme:
my case was an update of the famos UNO HD. i told them that the quality sucked on my NOTE but the on the galaxy tab 7(original) works a charm... downloads the additional files.. but on my not does not download anything.. but game works...

they said there is nothing they can do cause the game is not compatible with note....WTF dont think it takes that much to update n7000 in the program so it recognizes it as a hd product and download.... ah well....its this kind of service and attitude that leads people to torrents.....you wont support what i bought then will download it will the additional files....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I downloaded apps from Samsung (gameloft) and saved the APK from my SGSII (like Dead Space) and installed it on my note, and it worked fine.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

I totally agree. When I see I can't download something for my Note, I download it for my SGSII and save the APK and MOST of the time it works fine! Arg... Silly developers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] legion1911:
I am writing what they can do with all the data they collect. But it is not so unlikely to happen. For example on phone networks they check whether a phone moves too far too soon (last position in Paris, 3 minutes later in Berlin, 2 minutes later in Rome) to find phone hackers. Since many apps are collecting your gps position and getting again your gps position when you start the app again...

It will be easy to give you a geographically restricted license. For example a free license only for clients with GPS position in Europe.

Or the app costs 5$ for US clients, 5 euro for EU clients, 5 Hong Kong dollars for HK clients and to enforce that, the US license can only be used inside the US.

I "bought" some apps from the Samsung app store for free.

I denied to show my phone ID, like you.

Now some of them will not start because:

1) i do not allow them to check my phone ID to verify my free license

2) if i allow them to check my phone ID, they do not have in their records that my phone ID bought the free app, so I must be a criminal.

We must INSTALL LBE PRIVACY + DROIDWALL to stop this nonsense, before it is too late and this becomes a standard procedure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
Honestly the only other way I'd buy again is if all my purchases stayed linked to my Google account. But, God forbid that mean less profit for Gameloft.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
Well .... they did this with PC games & DVDs quite happily. When I migrated to Oz, all my UK games and DVDs would not work on Australian PCs / DVD players. How that for a massive rip-off?

Piracy? Hmmmm ... that's an idea, now!

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

DRM causes more piracy than it could ever prevent. One crack, one upload, millions of pirates.

Fact of digital life.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
My issue with the company is much simpler: how can they release an app (Adventures of Tintin) without any indications of which phones it is unsuitable for (e.g. Note), then publish that info a few weeks later and prevent users from getting a refund? The customer service staff say there are no policies for refund.

Obviously, this is where saving the apk and installing it in the affected phone doesn't help, since it loads as a hideous highly-pixelated arcade kind of game, with a completely different gameplay. I know it's not a lot of money, though it's certainly the most expensive game and app I've paid. Telling customers that there's nothing they can do apart from being "patient" isn't terribly helpful when there's no indication whatsoever about when the app will be made compatible with my phone. Who knows, I may have upgraded my phone by then and the app will again not be compatible with my phone. The least they can do is to offer another game that's compatible, or some kind of coupon code that can be used in the future.

I hope more android users get to read about this and know what they're in for when purchasing apps from Gameloft. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] speedofheat:
^^ I had the exact same issue. I bought Tintin on my SGS 2 which I sold to by the Note. Initially, the game would show up in Android Market on my phone under my apps, but it would load up a 2D arcade version rather than the 3D version which my SGS2 supported. After a few weeks, the app just wouldn't show up under "My Apps" in Android Market. I contacted Gameloft support and the best that they could do is offer another game in exchange. At that time, the only Gameloft title supported on the Note was Asphalt 6 which Samsung gives away for free anyway on S-Apps.

Now, the only way for me to play a game which I paid $7 for is on my friend's phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Gameloft are the best proponents *for* piracy ever it seems...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
Yah, funny how tactics like this can actually drive paying customers away towards "alternative" routes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vulpix:
Gameloft just doesn't get it. They treat everyone, even paying Android customer as potential pirating scumbags. Gabe Newell has said it best when he mentioned “Our goal is to create greater service value than pirates, and this has been successful enough for us that piracy is basically a non-issue for our company.” because guess what? He is right. I have paid for a buttload of games on Steam because it provides fantastic service.

If Gameloft continues to treat us all like dirtbags, the piracy will just continue to get worse on the Android platform.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JFizDaWiz:
yah i got a BS letter back from them about Uno not working, it plays the legacy mode of the game, which sucks because I want to play via WiFi with my other friends who have the game on their skyrockets like i used to.

eh, they'll eventually fix it, but damn.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] holgalee:
Good to hear of others with similar issues.

BTW, what's a legacy mode?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] theclueless:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] k1ng617:
Yah, it's not like they don't already have a working version for the Note.

I bought GT Racing, 9mm, and Shadow Guardian. I know for sure at least 9mm & GT racing work on the Note, but they still refuse to honor my purchases merely because I bought a new phone? Seriously!?! Gloft can go die in a ditch

I have been reading posts about ICS ROMS and it seems that there is no perfectly working ICS ROM yet. Is it true?

And if you saying that ROM is stable that means that you have no problems at all with it? No app forse closing, random reboots or sense misbehavior?

i have been using the androidHD ISC rom with 3.12 firmware and the only issue i can see is that the effects in the camera do not work. but i believe that has been fixed now with the 3.24 firmware package. 3d games work such as shadowgun and dark, no apps have FC'ed on me yet and no random reboots either. just make sure you make a nandroid backup and just test a few ICS roms out and see which one suits your needs.............................sudeki300

The ICS roms are certainly stable enough for daily driver. The 3.12 based roms had a few issues, one being the use of camera effects, this was causing the camera to force close. These issues have been fixed in the new 3.24 based roms. I can't find a single issue in either arhd 6.1.1 or insertcoin 4.4.3. I haven't had a single force close or strange behavior from any part of the software

I have flashed Virtuous Inquisition v3.0.0 this morning (on my XE) and I must say, it is fantastic and beats other roms out there in terms of speed, being stable, no FC's etc.

If you don't mind that HTC Sense (the launcher etc.) is missing, I would go for this if you are wanting to try out ICS.

I have tried ARHD, InsertCoin and the RUU before this, but they were not to my liking and I found them very slow and unresponsive.

Please note, I flashed the 3.24 firmware.
