[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RabidMonkeyOnCrack:
Mine is having the same problem but it only occurs after June. First 6 months is on the correct date and after that everything is off by one day. Has anyone resolved this? I've checked my phone's, Facebook and S Planner time zone settings and they all match. I've also resynced Facebook and cleared the cache. Nothing has fixed it for me. I might just contact Samsung if nobody can figure it out. I'll post the solution if I find one.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AjunNg:
I haven't resolved it yet. It's annoying because now I can't be sure when to send people a birthday note. I don't want to look stupid and send them things a day early lol.

Same Calendar Problem

I also have SOME Facebook Birthdays showing one day early. And it's random. For January I have a few that are correct and a few that are wrong
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pie1862:
I'm having the same problem. It happens in other calendar apps too but only with facebook birthdays it seems. Mine only seems to have happened since the New Year though, or I didn't notice it before.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edduk1981:
Has anyone found a solution to this.

I have the same issue on Galaxy Note and it seems to only be from May onwards.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwright:
I have noted something similar. Facebook friends birthdays on my Note 2 calendar are correct up through March 20th, 2013, then the next Facebook friend birthday on my calendar is incorrect on March 23rd (her birthday is actually the 24th) So somewhere between the 20th & 23rd the Facebook calendars go haywire. I noticed that they are incorrect through October 30th, then on October 31st my Facebook friends Bday is correct on my Note 2 calendar. This remains true through my daughters Bday on April 3rd which is correct, then April 4th another Facebook Friends Bday is off early by one day again.

This seems to nearly mirror the dates of Daylight Saving Time! I believe Facebook or Android (not sure where to point the finger yet - but I am leaning towards Facebook) is screwing up something due to Daylight Saving Time changes! Just my educated guess so far after looking into this issue for 5 minutes. Hopefully Facebook AND/OR Android get this straightened out. There is only one thing worse than no data - incorrect/unreliable data!!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geraintwd:
I'm having the same problem, I've noticed that the birthdays on S-Planner that are populated from Facebook are a day early, in my case it looks like this affects anything between the end of March / beginning of April and the end of October / beginning of November (can't tell exact dates, can only go by friends that have birthdays either side of those times, e.g. a birthday in late March is correct, but one in early April is a day early).

This coincides with daylight saving time in the UK - the clocks change on 31st March and 27th October this year, so it does seem to be related to that. I'll keep searching to see if I can find a solution and post here if I get anywhere.

EDIT: I am using a SGS3 I9300 running Android 4.1.2 (official version - had to download and install it myself as Orange disabled OTA updates and Kies wouldn't play nice!)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftSmoke:
It is definitely a BST(clock change) problem somewhere, but I have found a workaround(unfortunately not a solution yet) I use haxsync for hi-def profile pictures it also has a birthday sync which I setup and keeps every1 bday on the right day.

Hope this helps :D

OK, so I thought this little post may be helpful for those experiencing the "android.process.media has stopped" error. This stops gallery, camera, music and Gmail apps for me.

I got this after clearing all user and system apps cache from titanium backup. Running SlimICS on I9000 but give it a try on your phone. Nothing to lose

Here's what to do (this may not work for you):

Open titanium backup

Find "DRM protected.." process.

Freeze process.

Wipe data

Defrost.

Find any apps that were affected, use the same steps above. Reboot the phone.

Enjoy.

Feedback is welcomed if it worked/never worked.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modd1uk:
Just bought the mrs a Galaxy S3, she uses Wifi when at home. All the wifi settings are correct including the advanced ones (from the dialer menu)

Is there any other way round this apart from the above ? Its really annoying that this hasnt been fixed, my HTC sensation is EXACTLY the same.

We both use whatsapp, and its annoying because if we are on wifi messages don't come through until you turn the screen back on, on 3G whatsapp works perfectly when the screen is turned off its just the wifi.

Above fix doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahadsul3man:
thats odd , when my screen is locked i receive whats app messages and if i am downloading something over wifi it keeps on downloading, currently on cm10 but when i was on the stock rom , even if screen was locked wifi didnt sleep

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

and go to settings >wifi>advanced > keep wifi on during sleep , this should fix it , even if it is turned off whats app messages should be received :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modd1uk:
Its not just whatsapp messages, its any app, gmail, google talk, facebook etc.

Tried that last night, doesn't work.

Same thing happens on my sensation, desire HD, a friends desire HD..but we have a friend in america who has an Inspire and his wifi works fine when the screen is off :/. So originally I think, ok its an android bug..but they why doesn't he have that issue ? I spent about 5 hours last night searching the internet and there are numerous posts about the wifi issue but no resolution.

Figured it out.

3 Android devices were all having the same issue, I have spent over 15 hours researching and I have finally fixed it.

It was my router, not security settings just a common issue, I have an asus RT-N56U, I have flashed a custom firmware to it and my wifi on android devices is perfect, instant updates from facebook, gmail, whatsapp. A lot of time and testing but i'm glad I finally fixed the issue !

Now to order a nexus 4.......

I managed to connect via USB OTG a samsung dvd drive to my nexus 7 using nexus media importer app. you have to toggle the dvd drive to AV mode otherwise this wont work.

see demo on my youtube upload http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit?ns=1&show_mt=1&video_id=yvoyab75QgQ

this should work for all android devices if your device has usb otg support. so if the nexus 10 has usb otg support it should work for the nexus 10 as well!

see uploads too if interested here http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname/videos?flow=grid&view=0 and cast an eye on my play lists too http://www.youtube.com/user/veryannoyingname/videos?flow=grid&view=1

AW: DVD drive connects to nexus 7 via USB OTG :)

Why is it exactly that seemingly it is not possible to integrate a CD/DVD driver into Android??

The XDA people can do SO much, why can't anyone port an ISO-9660 filesystem driver for USB from Linux???
[Nexus 7 General] vulcanize:
I have an old external dvd writer (CompUsa) lying in storage that I hooked up to my Nexus 7 and the app Nexus Media importer recognizes it too.

But that is where it all stops and nothing else going forward since holding down the eject button for a while does nothing to this generic dvd-writer to make the necessary FAT32 transition.

File manager is also able to see it in dev/usb but since there is no way to convert the file systems am unsure as to how to proceed without a driver for android.

Knew it would not work and thought I will just put it up here if anyone can think of any work around. ;)

Hey new nexus 7 user here. I was able to unlock, root and put aokp and franco kernel on my device but im having troubles with booting. I normally get stuck on the google logo (sometimes i dont) and have to hold the power button to restart. Sometimes it take 10 times of doing this to finally boot into android. Can anyone help me? Apologies if this has been asked many times.

Also this has been happening even before flashing the rom. I used the nexus toolkit to unlock and root if that helps. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magick86:
First, make sure your bootloader is updated to the newest firmware. Mine is running: 3.41. On the previous version I had some similar issues.

Second, if your bootloader is below 3.41 plug it into a computer, or another device that would act as a 'host'. Do this before you hit the bootloop. i.e. go into recovery, flash your ROM/Gapps/kernel, make sure the device is plugged into a host, restart and it should boot.

As mentioned before the previous bootloader firmware would bug out if you installed anything other than official firmware (I think). I had to reset my device a few times with the Kit due to that problem.

Hope this helps!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Hello all, I just overclocked my One X with the presets from BeastMode 4.2 Kernel and I wanted to know:

When will we know that our voltages are no good for the current OC?

Will the phone just misbehave? i.e. random reboots etc?

Second question is when does this become harmful for the device to experience random reboots as a result of lack of voltage?

I OC'd sccessfully using the installer to 2.1 GHz, which I was never able to achieve with BeastMode 3.0, but I down-clocked to 1998 MHz and set my voltage to 1250 mV and its holding steady there..I guess. Any input is appreciated!

Do application crashes qualify as evidence of too low of voltages?

Not 100% as I leave the voltages alone, but I'd imagine so if they were stable before
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zerogun:
I one VIPER XL rom, with Bestmode 4.2. I'm currently running 2.1 GHz, -75 mV underclock across the board, Wheatley governor (up_threshold 85, ignore_nice_load on, powersave_bias 40) and have not had problems since installing it 5 days ago. No random reboots, and not app crashing.

So far so good... When I was using Beastmode 3.0, I would get constant reboots. YMMV, but I would try -75 mV across the board and then go from there. If you are using Kernel Tuner, you have the option of going up +12.5 mV across the board.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheEmpyre:
Used this method and worked just fine! Noticed some misbehaving of apps and strange deleting of text messages at 1250 mV at 2.1 GHz so I boosted it up to 1275 mV and its been going really well

Thanks for the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drhoades01:
I'm guessing it has something to do with them wanting to push the HTC phablet or having some sort of deal with HTC.

http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/6/3...s-invite-us-to-see-their-latest-collaboration
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamrock13:
I think they want to release both phones at the same time. This is out of no where, but..... here's their motto for Christmas... "Large and in charge.."

Am I right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
This could be true.

Speculation:

It seems that Verizon is punishing Samsung (and us) for not letting them have their way with the GSIII. In attempt to appease the people that really wanted the Note 2, Verizon threw us a bone by giving us the pre-order. While that is going on, Verizon stalled to let the DNA run through the FCC and get a little exclusive time on the shelves. This pushes average Joe to purchase the only [good] phablet on Verizon at the moment. After the DNA's exclusivity, then they will let Samsung sell its phone.

*EDIT*

I am assuming the DNA does actually get on the shelf before the GN2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnchad14:
Yeah, a lot of assumptions. Also, keep in mind Verizon really loves crapping on HTC way more than on Samsung, so there's that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
Curiosity, was there something in specific you were thinking of?

I honestly thing that Verizon dislikes(?) all manufacturers equally. I just believe that HTC is not in a position to resist the demands of Verizon. Look at HTC's earnings and tell me that they can afford to not bow down to the carriers demands. If it turns out there was a deal to shelf the GN2 until after the DNA, then it looks to me like Verizon is punishing Samsung and giving HTC a treat for being a good little doggy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I saw this on Droid life, too

I also find it funny that this phone only has on VZW logo on it on the front, and not on the back. I guess they only brand the crap out of stuff that is available on all carriers, which does make sense from a deluded, out-of-touch, business marketing stand point.

Still though, I hate the fact that they are obviously trying to push their 'exclusive' device, mostly because of even money invested or because of a higher profitability making everyone else suffer.

They also have multiwindow ROM that should be released soon - making the wait for VZW seem even more ridiculous. Locked bootloader, branded home button, and a release date of almost 1 month later than the last company to release the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnchad14:
Just felt that way traditionally, and probably as you said is mostly due to HTC's inability to really resist their demands. Was disappointed this year when HTC tried to simplify their lineup and got forced to make more carrier branded devices for Verizon. Mostly my feeling that HTC gets pushed around by Verizon too much goes back to wanting a Nexus One back in the day, and having it get delayed on Verizon then never released with HTC getting forced to retool it as the Incredible instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
So that is what happened to Verizon's Nexus... I would also like to point out that even Sprint even made HTC brand their One X as the Evo LTE. Personally I wish carriers would but out on the phone marketing and spend the money on beefing the networks. Or, get this, stop charging us an arm and a leg. Anyway, if Verizon choose to hold back the GN2, then I stand by my speculations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
I don't think Verizon is "punishing" Samsung for anything. There's a far more obvious, and business-oriented answer. When it comes to Android devices, Verizon likes to advertise their Droid line over non-Droid branded devices. With the Note 2, like the Galaxy S III, the device isn't a part of the Droid line, and more importantly it's not a Verizon exclusive. The Note 2, like the S III, is available (or will be available) on all major U.S. carriers. Verizon would rather market exclusive devices, because by marketing those, they're also marketing the fact that you have to be a Verizon customer. The same doesn't hold true if they heavily advertise or put a lot of emphasis behind devices that are available on every carrier.

So, is Verizon holding back the Note 2's release because of the DNA? That's very likely a part of it. But it's not because they're trying to punish anyone. They want to give their exclusive devices most of the exposure, along with a head start, because if someone wants of those, they have to be on Verizon. It just makes more business sense to put an emphasis on exclusive devices when it comes to marketing and release, especially when Samsung is already doing more marketing for the Note 2 than Verizon does for pretty much any device (as they also did with the S III).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Seems logical as since it is a 'exclusive' device I'm guessing they pay some sort of premium too, so my bet is they try harder to make sure these devices are profitable.

My guess is VZW is holding back Note2 for two reasons, the home button and the DNA. It seems like there has been a low stock in regards to the note 2, so I'm wondering if that was an issue with the delay too.

Anyways, this marketing approach sucks for us, as this type of marketing works on on consumers who really have no interest in a specific device. Those who know exactly what they want, are likely not to sway, mostly all of us on this board.

I also think that the commercials for the Note II are targeting the wrong demographic as well. Should be more of a high-end device that can be used for every day calendar things showing off the S pen. Basically it has a kid drawing on the damn phone. I know that is ATT/Samsung, but still. I wonder how VZW commercials will be.

I'm still praying the device will ship early, but I really doubt it. I was reading old posts and a few people were claiming after thanksgiving, maybe a week after... from an "insider." way before oct. 24th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
Your right, it is good business sense for Verizon to push their advertised Droids. I am not drawing my conclusions on Samsung being punished from this one incident. I believe this was Verizon's move in a power war between carriers and manufacturers. Like you said, the Droids are Verizon exclusives. Samsung started to build their brand with the Galaxy line and Verizon does not need competition to their exclusive. Since Verizon was not able to twist the widely popular GSIII to their liking, they choose to send Samsung a message through a popular but not "make you or break you" phone.

I actually know plenty of people at my old job who let their kids draw on the device to keep them occupied. While I don't know which demographic would generate higher sales, I can say that their target exists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnchad14:
Hopefully the whole exclusive devices idea will go the way of the dinosaur soon enough. I'm glad Samsung got their foot in the door this year on that one and hopefully it expands to other manufacturers. They're really only hurting themselves by raising costs, delaying releases, not carrying wanted devices...ah well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Meh, it was more of a hit against getting an A-list celebrity to endorse the phone rather than show off the features of the phone. From the commercial all you really get is you can draw on pictures (who knows if this is an app or built-in? <-- saying from a potential viewer who has NO idea what the Note 2 is), it has a stylus, you can watch videos on it, and take phone calls. I really thought nothing of the Note 2 until I saw the review on youtube and features like multiwindow, etc. I think Samsung did great with the S3 commercials in comparison, that really took a hit at Apple and spouted off their features such as s-beam. I don't think you need A-list celebrities for these phones, rather just show off the features and why they are superior to other phones on the market, such as iP5. Like I said, I just think it shows how off marketing companies can be sometimes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
Ah, gotcha. I do know that the SIII commercials worked because I heard people actually talk about them. Which I can't say that about Apple.
