[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11alex11:
How can I determine if the current time is between two other time objects?

For example: current: 15:23, startTime: 22:00, endTime: 06:00. So the current time is not between this two other times, but this "23:47" is.

*I don't care about the date, only the time

I tried to do it like this:

Time startTime = getStartTime();
Time endTime = getEndTime();

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
Time now = new Time(c.getTimeInMillis());

if (now.before(endTime) && now.after(startTime)) {
return true;
}

return false;

but it dosen't work well. their aren't any errors but it just dosen't work.

To be more precise the problem is that 15:35.after(22:00) return true... and I don't know why. I think that the problem is something with the dates but I don't know what
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11alex11:
I found the solution:

Time startTime = getStartTime();
Time endTime = getEndTime();

Calendar startCalendarTime = Calendar.getInstance();
startCalendarTime.set(0, 0, 0, startTime.getHours(), startTime.getMinutes());

Calendar endCalendarTime = Calendar.getInstance();
endCalendarTime.set(0, 0, 0, endTime.getHours(), endTime.getMinutes());

Calendar nowCalendarTime = Calendar.getInstance();
int hours = nowCalendarTime.getTime().getHours();
int minutes = nowCalendarTime.getTime().getMinutes();
nowCalendarTime.set(0, 0, 0, hours, minutes);

if (nowCalendarTime.after(startCalendarTime) && nowCalendarTime.before(endCalendarTime)) {
return true;
}

return false;

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] livingaboard:
Hello,

My phone is rooted but ROM is stock. I don't generally flash anything and just stick to removing bloatware.

I installed TWRP and now I cannot get the latest official OTA AT&T update since the update load fails due to not having stock recovery. I have been searching online and cannot figure out how to get stock recovery.

I have been able to locate a supposed stock zip ROM for this phone. Can I just somehow flash this ZIP to return my phone to stock.

On previous phones I have been able to do a factory reset, which I have done several times on this phone today, in order to get it back to stock and accept OTA updates. This TWRP seems extremely invasive and I cannot get rid of it.

Thanks for any help

I am the original poster. My phone would not flash the stock ATT rom that I downloaded somewhere. It could have been a bad ROM.

I could only end up getting into recovery and download mode. I did something to erase the entire operating system.

The guys over at TWRP or at least the guys on the message board got me through it. I ended up flashing the 3.5 clean rom. I never flashed a rom before only rooted. i also flashed the new modem zip as well. So far so good I guess.

Im going to have to figure out how to do an entire backup of my phone so that next time I can just restore it.

Thanks for the replies
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
Boot in to recovery (it's now an option from the power button) and follow the very easy buttons for backup. Select everything for an entire system backup (7 checks, I believe). Future backups can be just your data and apps if you want.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertpas:
Hello,

I've recently started having a strange issue with my Galaxy Note. The screen starts to ranomly flicker like crazy and then the device turns off. When I restart the phone it shows that I have 1% battery... which is not true because if left alone the phone starts to "magically" charge on its own over the course of the next 15-30 minutes. I've read that the flickering screen occurs when the battery is low and the screen tries to maintain its brightness, but this isn't my case as i've had this happen even at 80% battery charge.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? I've already tried restoring to factory settings to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denialnw10:
Yep, I experienced this last month. I had my galaxy note for just over one year when I started to have this problem.

Sent it back to Samsung and they fixed it free under the two year warranty (EU law). It seems to be an issue they are aware of. My battery now lasts a couple days and everything is back to normal. 4 day turn around for the repair straight to my door.

Give Samsung customer service a call A.S.A.P.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! I will contact them immediately and hope to get things fixed as soon as possible.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denialnw10:
The S2??? I would prefer the S3 or Note 2. Jelly bean will probably be the last update for the S2 and possibly the N7000!

Make sure when you call the service department that you explain the issue as you have here on the forum... Don't say that you think the battery is gone... As with my repair it wasn't the battery... They said they changed a chip set or something like that.... Plus even if it is the battery, they are more likely to just replace it for free if you plead ignorance! :)

P.S. The best way to say thanks is to use the "thanks" button next to my post!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
Hi everyone

(ugh retyping this as the first time I hit submit and it went to a blank page without posting)

I have an ATT S3 i747 on the normal ATT Jellybean. I had rooted it with ICS, but after the Kies update it wasn't rooted anymore. I finally got around to rooting it again and had used the "galaxys3root" guy's tutorial the last time. I went to find it again and just clicked on the Root page he had on the front of his website. What I didnt realize is that I was looking at a tutorial for the international i9300 version. I flashed the TAR file with ODIN and it failed. I was then prompted to connect to KIES to fix the phone. I ended up just rebooting the phone and re-Rooting it with the correct version of the files. It started working again and I continued on with my day but had wondered if the failed root messed anything up.

Its been 2 days and my girlfriend told me she is having a hard time getting ahold of me. Yesterday this happened, but this morning it was really bad. From two different phones she would get "Your call cannot be completed at this time", no voicemail or anything while calling my phone. I decided to try it from my work land line and ran into the same message the first 3-4 times I called my cell. Finally the call went through, but the next time if failed again. After this, I called ~9 more times over 10 minutes and they have all gone through fine. The whole time i've had 4 bars and tried turning wifi off/on to see if it made a difference but it did not seem like it.

Is this a fluke with AT&T? Or is this related to what I did with the first root that failed? I dont know what all is changed when flashing the root TAR file, Would "un-rooting" do anything?

I appreciate your help, thanks:cyclops:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dixit:
Well rooting itself doesnt cause the phone to stop working in theory. But it can cause issues if dont incorrectly. So you said you installed the wrong TAR file, that would cause the issue of the phone not booting properly. Id suggest flashing the right TAR file from that site. It will overwrite your incorrect one.

If this still causes issues, Id suggest just use Kies and Initialize the phone back to stock Jellybean by just clicking the Emergency Repair/Initialization and it will ask for your model put in "SGH-I747" and it will basically completely erase and initialize the phone to stock. If that still has issues, then you have some hardware issue.

Also make sure in the About screen your IMEI still shows up.

Dixit
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 79TAKid:
That is what I did to get it working again was flash the correct TAR file. the IMEI still shows up. It sounds like the issue is still happening so I may back it up with titanium and reset it.

[HTC EVO 3D] Juan685:
How can I have both cores run at the same speed all the time? I think this is the reason my phone's performance suffers when I overclock it or just even using the stock frequency.

Currently, I have it OC'd to 1.83ghz but I can see a drop in performance. Ive tried to increase voltages, but it makes it worse in some cases. However, Ive noticed that when both cores are on and operating at the same speed the phone becomes fast.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
First off, what kernel and ROM are you using?

Second, generally speaking at speeds above 1.56 to 1.62, the L2 Cache doesn't sync with the processor speed and they kind of fight against each other. On a good kernel overclocked to just 1.62ghz you can beat a poor kernel at 1.8+ all day. I would suggest only overclocking to 1.62 max.

Third, if you install Kernel Tuner it has an option to link the two cores together so they run at the same frequency.
[HTC EVO 3D] Juan685:
I am using Coolexe's rom with his latest kernel. Can't I force them to synchronize? Ive tried that and system tuner. They do not work all the time. I think it has to do more with scripts.

Any scripts to force them to be online all the time at the same speed?

the widgets of timescape and feed for facebook dont work. the notification bar says "could not update from facebook" and its just so annoying because i can connect to facebook through the facebook app and everything works fine, but timescape and feed widgets dont. anyone knows whats up with that?

and another question, whats the best app for music ? walkman isnt really loud enough.

AND one more, lol, what happens if i dont tick that option "replace existing information" in download music information through walkman? what does it download then?

k sorry for these noobish question, but this is my first smartphone and i have lots and lots of things to find out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] |HBHs| Acidburns:
1) this is general section of the forum try asking question on questions and answer section next time

2) clear out your Timescape cache and see if it helps goto settings->apps->all

3) which headphones are you using for your smartphone because I think any louder volume on my default headphones and I might go deaf sooner or later :p

4) if you dont mark the option than it doesn't replace any information even if its wrong, it would only fill the empty boxes and album art if its missing

Now I hope everything I said helps :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The Facebook is due the actual Timescape using the old Facebook SDK, and Sony features weren't updated with it just yet.

About Walkman, try PowerAMP. Just download a ICS styled theme for the sake of it. About downloading info, it will download from only what it doesn't have just yet.
