What I do (I use TWRP) is I set the name of the backup manually before it runs. Something like MyIllusion11413 or MyLiquidRC7122612. So I can keep them named and separate from each other. No time stamp but I've been doing it like this for a long time and seems to work well (for me at least).

MyIllusion11413 (Illusion made on 1/14/13)

MyLiquidRC7122612 (LiquidSmooth RC7 made on 12/26/12)

See what I did there? ^^^

Also NO SPACES in the names. Learned that a long time ago the hard way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] G1Master:
Yea thats what I have to do since you know being a Flashaholic and all. Haha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wseverin:
In twrp, open a terminal window. From command line set date like so:

date -s "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"

exit the terminal and resume business.

a bash script to set TWRP time with ADB

When I have my phone connected to my PC with adb debugging turned on (a too-frequent setup), I use the following little bash script to do the job for me. This sets the UTC time and date in TWRP to the second.

#!/bin/bash
adb devices
UT=$(date -u '+%Y.%m.%d-%H:%M:%S')
adb shell date -us $UT

I get an error like "could not find tzdata..." with S5 G900F and TWRP 2.8.7.0 - 3.1.0.0.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wseverin:
It seems that to save space the tzdata file is omitted from TWRP. It's not really a problem. Every build of TWRP that I have worked with thinks that it's in U.S. Central Standard Time (CST). So, if you want the TWRP system time to accurately represent the real current time you can either convert your local time to CST and then enter it, or you can enter the UTC time by changing "-s" to "-us".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] v00d007:
Thanks, I'm in Europe though with CET/Berlin... The problem was that I've installed a ported Rom with BTU CSC, but I'd need DBT. After setting the time manually in time/date settings, twrp got it after a while... The last time I had this issue was with a S4 Mini and cm 11. The workaround there was to delete the file "time_daemon", but this time this had no effect.

I'm unfamiliar with running bash scripts via adb. I created a bash script like 'XXXX.sh' but I don't know how to execute it. Any chance you could you provide further info?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AniKulkarn:
You, Sir are a life saver. Can you help me change the system time too? Because my date and time changed in TWRP, but my Android shows a random date. Now the problem is that I've given my phone to my sister with Google Family Link. And I've set a Bed Time for her. As soon as my device boots up, it thinks it's bed time and locks down. I can't even unlock it because internet doesn't work with wrong date and time. And apparently, even Parental Code in Family Link doesn't work with wrong date and time either!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sjamie:
When I enter this command, I receive the following error:

Unknown option s (see "date --help")

Anyone know why or how to fix it?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jooosty:
The defender is awesome. Although very bulky it provides the best protection.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
And don't forget the useless plastic screen protector. Got my glacier Defender this Saturday, went through 3 at local Verizon store - all have the same problem with a gap underneath of plastic screen protector. Completely kills the experience using touch screen. Plus, s-pen left marks on the plastic screen, couldn't even wipe them off easily. The same problem described in every review on Amazon, and other forums/posts. Yes, you can punch it out (use hair dryer to soften up glue and push it out), but what a disappointment with Otterbox rushing this release. I called them up, they created a case for replacement since I was hoping their manufacturing process was corrected. But it sounds like they are having delays and I might not get a replacement in time before my 2wk store return period is over. So, I'm returning it back and will wait for Defender v2, whenever its available lol!!! Right now, the only case I'm looking forward to is UAG! But unfortunately its on back order :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cardinalryan:
The glacier defender is brilliant! Yes, the screen protector sucks, but I have always been under the impression that everyone removes that and uses a stand alone screen protector.

The defender with the Zagg invisible shield hd is proving to be a perfect combination for me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
But wouldn't removing the screen protector will void the warranty? Then, if you have an issue with your case (outer rubber part or inner plastic case, interlocking tabs, etc.) - how would you send it back w/o screen protector? and if you save it and glue it back, wouldn't they notice it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] witeboy07:
And here is the video guys!!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
As far as I know, that is not how Otterbox does business. Mind you, I have never returned a product to them for a refund but I have had about 6 replaced over the past few years. (for different devices)

They do not require that you send the product back to them for a replacement. If you file an online claim they will ask for pictures of the case.. But by calling them to file a claim, I have never had to send pictures.

Their customer service is outstanding.

And if you've had the case for more than 6 months they are more than willing to provide a replacement.

Popping out the included screen protector doesn't rid the shell of the glue.. So if you save the protector, you could stick it on and make it look like it is still attached, if they need pictures.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] witeboy07:
I'm perfectly happy with the protection so far, getting used to the screen protector. I'm not really falling for the urban armor guard.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tdrussell:
In my search for GN2 cases, i noticed that Skinomi has recently released a techskin for the GN2. I had a carbon-fiber look techskin on my Transformer prime and i absolutely loved it, so i ordered one for the GN2. http://www.skinomi.com/sk11920-samsung-galaxy-note-2-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html

It arrived several days ago and i've been carrying my phone with it on since then. For those that aren't familiar, the techskin is an adhesive-backed vinyl cut into several pieces to fit the phone. It seems like a somewhat "permanent" solution...i've never tried to remove one, so i can't really say, but i've never had one come off on it's own either!

The techskin for the GN2 consists of several pieces- one large piece cut for the back cover, then several smaller pieces that fit around the edges of the phone. To apply, you lay the pieces onto the device and heat them to activate the adhesive (i used a hair dryer). When the adhesive kicks, the skin becomes extremely rigid- almost like you've put a very thin case on your phone. It takes some patience to do right, but it looks phenomenal and allows you to worry just a little less about beating your phone up.

As soon as i find a camera or another phone i'll post up some pictures, but the pics on the site are pretty accurate. :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
So after you heat it up and before it becomes rigid, do you have a little bit of time to align it properly? Back of the phone sounds like it would be easy, but sides - you don't get another chance to remove and fix it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tdrussell:
It's sticky enough coming off the packaging that you can stick and re-position as necessary before you put heat to it. Once you start heating, it's staying where you put it. You can see it go "soft" as you heat it, at which point i firmly seat the portion i'm heating against the phone with my thumb to fit the contours.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Anyone have any pics or review? I am considering going case-less since I one-hand the phone wayyy better

I've just got myself a new tablet...loving the thing but at the same time knowing that in time it will be obsolete. But what will improve? Octo-core cpu, super sensitive screen, maybe solar screen that charges the tab... BUT... How would it be if we could buy a shell in whatever size you prefer.. and then buy the latest screen /battery /cpu to fit inside. You could customise with your preferred shell type (bamboo, titanium, aluminium, carbon fibre etc) and it would last you until it breaks.

So is it a good idea or would you rather buy your tablet pre-packaged and ready to go?!
[General Topics] Pennycake:
I wrote a long post about why this is not practical and wouldn't give a good product here.

It's really just not worth it. Mobile technology operates in a very small space, even compared to laptops - there's just not room for "upgrade to the newest battery" or "newest CPU" without the tablet being huge - and you'll still have to realise that the bridge for that CPU is going to become obsolete probably as fast as the CPU itself would have - and battery technology will change.

The tiny runs of "latest screens" are going to be more expensive than mass-market ones. And who is to say that you could even use them with the GPU and PSU present in the device ? What if you had to replace those ? What are you really saving ? It's a sort of DIY satisfaction, but you'd be over-paying and having an expensive hobby that wouldn't have the latest technology for more than if you just replaced and recycled - and one that wouldn't get Android updates most likely ever (and who is going to essentially make you a custom ROM for the hardware you selected ? That's going to add to the cost)

Desktops do what they do because they have space and the set-up to allow much to be changed and have a LOT of freedom.

Tablets aren't like desktops - for better and worse.

Greeting XDA!

I come to you with my TF101 B80 Stuck on Asus screen because I was a genius and forgot that when I installed Beats Audio from the market it bricks like that is its job. I have Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 installed on my tablet and when trying to flash stock 9.2.1.27 from Asus on EasyFlasher 0.8.3, it just gets stuck at the Asus loading screen.

When using EasyFlasher, I choose the correct B80 setting,SBK2, have the correct recovery selected in the pulldown menu, have the US Rom downloaded from the Asus website. I click Flash Asus stock zip / unbrick, everything runs fine, am able to boot into apx, EasyFlasher appears to have done its job but when booting the tablet, it still gets stuck on the Asus loader. What am I doing wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] magni08:
wondering about a work around or something i might be doing wrong, unrooted sprint gs3 trying to theme go sms pro by selecting an option inside of the app itself.. tried uninstall reinstall three times

any ideas would be appreciated

sorry i guess that would make sence eh?

it wont allow me to change the theme, when selected and hit apply, theres a flash of the screen and no change... have tried this a few times and there is no error message or change in the theme..

i have tried preinstalled themes and newly installed themes and even one that i paid for on an older phone, still nothing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well...whats the issue? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Try clearing its cache, if still nothing, clear data (back up your messages if you need to, i dont know if it deletes those as well) and reboot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] magni08:
Being stock I'm not sure how to clear data and cache
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] magni08:
Still no luck however the flash of the screen seems top have lengthened slightly to show a loading symbol but the quickly goes away
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well the only other thing I can think of is that some other app is interfering with it. Try uninstalling/wiping cache for any other apps you installed around the time when this problem popped up

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] magni08:
Thanks I'll give her a go
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If it doesnt set the prebuilt theme see if you can go into settings and then the customization(can't remember exact name havent used gosms in quite a while) and see if it'll let you set your colors and stuff in there. There could be a bug with themes in the current version. I used go apps for a long time on my older devices until they started pushing updates almost daily due to all the bugs

I like to break stuff! :D

Slow speed on WiFi

Hi, having some issues with my wifi connection. It usually tries to reach the slowest speed on the wifi link based on the usage. For example: when I turn on the wifi it connects at 120mb on wifi n, then it starts slowing down the speed down to 1 mb if I open the browser it goes up to 6mb but thats the max speed that it goes but on the real internet speed is about 3mb.

I alreday tried disabling the energy saving option with *#0011# but nothing changed.

My phone is stock with xxell4. It's from the baltic (seb) but I'm using it in Mexico. My internet is a 20 mb connection via fiber optic and the router isthe huawei hg8245

Do you think that flashing a different modem or changing to a custom rom would help?

Have you tried using a third-party SMS app like Go SMS to restore the backup?

Also, I know this doesn't help right now, but in future you can use an app called Manage SMS to backup and restore your messages, it's very simple. Here's a link:

Hi folks,

Just have experienced the weirdest thing happened on my S2.

this might relate to a drop happened the other day.

After the drop, the phone still functioned properly during the day. Then at night, the SD card couldn't be recognized by the phone. Tried to manually mount it but to no avail. Used adaptor on PC, no good either.

I then tried another SD card. It was perfectly alright before I inserted it into the phone. Right after the phone had accessed it after the boot, a msg showed damaged SD card. Put it back to adaptor on PC, a msg showed that I need to format it before use.

It appears that my phone fried 2 SD cards continuously within a day.

Any clue, folks?

Now i bought 3 extremeguard from eBay...but i think it will be the same ****...(i hope no).

I have xtremeguard in the front and back. The cut outs are good, but the covers are two to three millimeters too short along the width of the phone. The covers are wet application type which means that they have a bit of a rubber feel. The one thing that I don't like about this cover is that they eventually peel along the edges.

It depends on what you are looking for. Screen protectors (good ones) will take the impact of an object and keep it from damaging the glass. I have been a fan of xo skins for a while because they self heal and are one of the few that resist sand. If you go with a glass type or acrylic, they do feel smoother, but you will begin to see scratches and scuffs that don't go away. The wet install ones also fill in existing scratches. The xo ones have the closest to glass feel, but are still the aircraft skin type without orange peel. Just depends on what features are most important to you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shadyshawn:
agreed, I bought the xtrmeguard as well and the size was spot-on, but the screen cover feels too rubber-ish (almost broke my fingers couple times trying to slide :P), so I decided to change to regular screen protector; besides, I'm already used to leave my phone away from any sharp objects.

The 'dual' part just means front and back.

I've been using an SGP on my N4 from day one (~Dec20) and it's been perfect, comparing to the one that comes with the phone is laughable. The SGP looks and feels just like the bare glass to me. It does attract face oil and fingerprints, but that beats scratches, and it's nothing a quick wipe won't solve.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noodles2224:
Perfect, thank you. I hate protectors because of that rubbery feel but if I would of known this.. Would of had the first day. :/ now I got 2 tiny hairline scratches that I have no idea where it came from. And Im always careful with these. Had my GS2 without one for 2yrs and nothing happen to its screen now this phone since Nov 20th and got these scratches that you can't really see unless you look carefully after wiping the screen :/ but thank you for your input. Will be buying one of these..

Anyone try this kind.. Says its HD wonder how the feel is..
