[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidmoore:
I and my roommate have the Nexus 5 on Sprint and when we set the timezone to auto it will change us to Eastern even though we're in Central. We're outside of Nashville, TN.

Is anyone else having this issue?

This is probably an issue with the NTP server that the phone is using, but when I call Sprint about the issue, they think I'm speaking another language. I just manually set it for Central to resolve the issue, but it still annoys me since I have to manually change it when visiting family.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CRIME INC.:
I'm outside of Nashville as well and i have this issue,as does my wife on her GNex. I just set my timezone manually to central

Me Too

The same thing has happened to me twice in the past month on my Sprint Nexus 5. Or perhaps I should say a similar thing has happened. I also live in the Central time zone and my phone was showing what looked like Eastern time (1 hour later). Going to Settings -> Date & time showed that I was actually displaying something called "Easter Island Summer Time". I have been in contact with Sprint through their "Community" forum but so far they haven't been much help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Hmm, I noticed this too. Weird.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
In all honestly using network time setting AND location positioning was a nightmare when I was on Sprint with this phone. I never had a single issue with my old Evo LTE but with the Nexus my time would randomly set itself 6 hours ahead and location would constantly report me as being 350 miles away on the complete outside side of the state I live in making any and all location apps(weather, google now, maps) near useless.I had reps resync my SIM and refresh my connection a couple times and the issue never resolved itself. I switched to T-Mobile's $30 plan the beginning of the month and haven't had a single issue since.

Edit: I'm in central time zone as well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggs170:
I have the same problem I made a post, but no one was able to help. I just manually set it from now on.

I've seen it happen before when Sprint contractors were messing about with the NV 3G side of things over here in California (equipment got set to EST instead of PST) but it's been corrected as the clusters fired up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Hmm it is fine now. I switched back to auto. They may have been changing equipment or something. Wichita is getting upgraded to Spark supposedly so that makes sense.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aagvain:
same issue here, austin tx area sprint. set to auto and reboot and it reports correctly...then randomly will switch to eastern.

whats interesting is that the phones clock in the upper right will report eastern time while BW clock widget reports the correct time (cst)

only thing i have found for consistency is to set time zone to manual (as others have reported)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] William5:
Same here, Nexus 5 with Sprint here in California went one hour ahead, so I had to put in back to manual time for the second time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
I can relate to this problem too,when freshly boot Android "e.g after custom rom install" it's shows me 1970 years and blabla so it's a little annoying every time after fresh android boot to set up correct time and date.

Is it possible to install themer on amaze ics.themer is an awsome application and all of the amaze jb roms have many problems that make it hard for daily use.themer only supports android 4.1+ but it would be wicked cool if it can be made to work in ics.the homescreens on themer are just wicked cool.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Sense ROMs require Sense themes, more specificly, they need themes matching their version. Example, a sense 5 theme won't work on sense-3.6 without modifying. Only ASOP based ROMs can use such themers mentioned in your post. There are, however, numerous themes that do work on our ROMs in various forums on this board. Just search for sense 3.6 themes and you'll find them.

I hope this helps.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
If you prefer 140 use Honami Experience V1. It is cleverly made but has a few bugs, although more a bit annoying and none of them being deal breakers. The developers preferred the second last app versions not the absolutely latest, for stability reasons. And stabil it is. It has already a Honami style home but not the latest. There is a modified 6.1 by KG, that is the one you will wish to use.

If 145 is ok as well Pure-X-Blaster is the current king. I personally can not comment on it.

Hi

Just got this thing the other day (O2 XDA Mini S) and am pulling my hair out with ActiveSync. A google and a look round these forums convinces me I'm not alone.

I'm now at the point where notes will sync, but Contacts and Calendar will not. This appears to be most likely because I'm not using an Exchange Server.

I give in. Can anyone advise whether this some alternative to ActiveSync that I can use to back up my contacts list? I'd hate to have to do it all over again.

I have a memory card, so adding software from that is no problem if necessary.

Thanks :)

You can try the backup tool Sunnysoft

in advanced mode is an option Backup PIM databases
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jko:
Are you just trying to sync with your pc over the usb link? You don't need Exchange Server for that - it sync's with Outlook directly. Have you set up what information you want to sync in ActiveSync's Tools->options?

Another possibility for not syncing is any firewall you are running - although, if it was that, you wouldn't even get Notes to sync.

John
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lansalot:
yup

Thanks for that John, yep I've done all I can see that I need to do. Missing Exchange was about the only thing left I could think of. I think I might uninstall Outlook and reinstall it to see if that helps. Though I *hate* having to install that POS just so I can backup some settings !

Perhaps there's somewhere within the phone that will export the various settings somewhere. Or perhaps I should dig out VS2005 and attempt to write one myself. Backing up to storage card would be the best option I think, and from a look around the .net mobile CF, it would appear to be pretty well supported.

And I had to disable Zonealarm despite having all the appropriate configurations set up to allow it. I even put 169.254.x.x in the trusted zone, to no avail.

ActiveSync is a shocking piece of software - and I know from owning other phones that there's things like MobiExplorer and MobiManager that tends to work much better than the usual manufacturer-supplied stuff.

Chak, thanks for the lead with SunnySoft.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guttrhead:
Copy the pim.vol file from the root directory of the device. This contains all your pim info (contacts, call history, tasks, calendar). You can't really make anything out of it if you try to view it, but when you hard reset, you can just overwrite the new one and soft reset to restore everything. I copy mine to my storage card every time i add something new that has to do with pim stuff.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
in my case, pim.vol file is protected, so copying & replacing it after hard reset does not work. i have other workaround for backuping contacts (as my activesync with outlook simply does not work) - each contact via irda to computer. it saves contact as .vcf file that you can send to wizard back again after hard reset.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guttrhead:
Try using total commander to get to the file.

Hey, is this a common problem for HTC devices or Windows mobile in general?

I just started searching because my calendar won't sync. (3 palm devices and 3 pda's later, I have 1,400+ contacts.)

Are there any workarounds that anyone knows?

I tried setting up the sync settings whilst the device was disconnected, but the calendar entry just disappears when I re-connect.

-Worried of Sheffield.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lansalot:
thanks

Thanks eva_d, I had already hit on the idea of bluetoothing all my contacts over (thankfully, there's not that many) from my nokia 6600. Luckily, the XDA didn't require my SIM to be in it during the transfer. It even took over the mini pictures I had for some of the contacts, quite smart.

But it would be some chore with more than the couple dozen I had.

I'm reading up on the windowsmobile classes in dotnet, I reckon the answer would lie in there somewhere. Writing an app in VS to back things up to some funky open format would be the ideal, even if it does just drop a directory full of VCF files for example.

Once I'm sure VS2005 is installed and working correctly (http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=41155), I'll throw some serious effort at it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
Re: thanks

copying contacts to other handset is bit risky, because various producers are using various interpretation of .vcf file format. for instance, when i copy contact from siemens s65 to wizard, email field is always ripped off the contact and polish national characters are also absent. :( copying contacts to computer via irda is quite safe, however personal ringtones assigned to contact and voice dials are sacrified. all other data within a contact are still present, including contact picture. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] inspecta:
A bit more info on the missing calendar link:-

I have one laptop using activesync V.4.1 this was where i first discovered the problem.

Just tried laptop #2 running a/sync v.3.7.1 which has an older copy of my appointments in outlook. Calendar doesn't sync to this either, so it must be something inside the MDA.

Tried to search microsoft support to find a solution, but no entries found. This seems to indicate that it is a HTC issue. I had a MDA Pro briefly sync-ed up which worked Ok. The problems are with my MDA compact running WM2003.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] laich71:
pim.vol not only saves the contact but also the assigned ringtone and pic. only way to do it is copy to storage card.

then after hard reset it won't let you overwrite the new one but if you rename it to pim.vol.old it lets you do that. then you can overwrite it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
contact pictures are NOT saved in pim.vol. when i restore contacts via irda from .vcf files on my laptop, pictures are already there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] inspecta:
I know this thread has moved on a bit, but I've just got my calendar to sync. again and I'm soooo relieved!

Backing up the Contacts with Mail2Web Live Mail Service

I basically use the mail2web live mail service, and use its exchange server as the server source in Activesync. I only choose synching Contacts with this server (but you can choose others).

This way, all my contacts are always up to date in mail2web servers, and even if I need to hard reset, I can reget all of my contacts back very quickly.

Highly recommended...

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] stephenp1983:
I just need a little guidance on the correct way to apply a custom rom on my Galaxy Player 4 (yp-g1 Us version with all capacitive buttons). Can someone tell me if I am on the right track as far as the steps go to get cm 10.2 rom installed.

I currently am on stock GB 2.3.5, and the device has been rooted, but the next steps I wanted to make sure are correct -

1. Install a custom kernel such as the TerraSilent 1.3.5 one using Odin.

2. The Kernel has cwm included, so I can then use it to install the CM 10.2 rom located here from recover - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2386992

Are there any other steps I need to take or that I have missed to make this work?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Yeah after you've installed the terrasilent kernel which inclued CWM, you can go flash CM10.2 no problem. Just be sure to have an extra copy of your efs in case of restoring.

Not sure what the norm is either and probably depends a lot on what we have running but mine is usually at 60%. To me yours seems high but I'm no dev/Android pro. I'm sure someone else would have an explanation of exactly what's up with that.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nupi:
It seems like Moto has done something quite nasty to make coexistence of root and encrypted /data almost impossible. Current observations:

You can have an unencrypted, rooted phone without any obvious issues.

You cannot encrypt your phone while it is rooted (you get a encryption failed message immediately, suggesting to do a factory wipe but that is remedied by a hard power cycle, your data will still be there.

Once you unroot, encryption suddenly works

After encryption root is behaving very erratically, occasionally I got the device to boot with root after flashing supersu but on the next reboot it is lost again

Manual setting chmod 6555 on daemonsu and su in CWM is useless, they lose the suid attribute on reboot

[

I have poked around in /system and the ramdisk and my current takeaway, unless I missed something big, this is triggered from a binary as none of the scripts seem to contain any code to mess with su.

Edit: I have a suspicion that it happens in /boot as booting to the system right after flashing in TWRP seems to work (first time round) whereas CWM style full reboots do not seem work.

Edit 2: That does not seem to be it, does not yield root reliably in TWRP either

Does anybody have a pointer on what is going on? Looks like custom ROMs might be needed, after all.

3. Root
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frojnd:
Tomorrow or day after tomorrow I'm getting moto g.

Just to be clear: root and encryption is working on default firmware 4.3? You just have to unlock bootloader first and then encrypt the phone like sdnkh desribed?

Is there any noticable performance issues with encryption active for those who have encrypted moto gs?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nupi:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Zionator:
Hi,

I just got my Note 3 and was annoyed by the hole knox issue so i started to read back & forward after a few hours i found this program called kingo which i liked cause i only had to install it and start the program and the rest was done for me by the program.

Here are the easy steps to rooting.

1. Install the Note 3 drivers on the PC "all i did was plug-in the phone and it was installed for me".

2. Install Kingo (LINKS REMOVED)

3. Open the program and follow the simple instructions on you monitor.

When it's done you are rooted and your knox will still be 0x0.

After this i used Odin to flash the TWRP 2.6.3.7 and the knox was still 0x0.

I then shut off the phone to reboot into TWRP and did a backup of the stock rom rooted. Once done backing up the rom i rebooted into download mode and noticed that it knox was changed to 0x1.

So if you want root on stock rom then this is the easiest solution but you wont get custom recovery nor custom roms without tripping the knox counter for now.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] panjaby:

If you did not absolutely need a custom recovery/kernel you should have gone with URDLV and you could have kept knox 0x0 :rolleyes:

I have no idea what you are talking about.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blumsen:
As far as I know Kingo is banned on XDA forums until further notice, unless they finally got approved? Not to get you paranoid or anything, but suspicious communications with a chinese server were part of the rooting method you just used.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Zionator:
Why is it suspicious ? I mean it's most likely downloading what's needed for rooting and bypassing the knox system.

If it was banned then there should be a post so others know about it.

I am using Zonealarm firewall and i wasn't made aware of any suspicious behaviour.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bnevets27:
It was suspected of sending your IMEI #. Don't know the details.....
[Galaxy Note 3 General] blumsen:
1. It is suspicious because nobody knows who Kingo are. It is suspicious because the process is not transparent and it was not known what kind of information is collected from your device (or why) and what information is received (and possibly installed on your PC/ device). The exploit that they use for rooting is also kept secret. The server's IP they use is chinese. Some of the information they collect is arguably not necessary (for example your device's IMEI). The communication with Kingo is over a facebook page. Hmm.. can't think of more suspicious things right now, but that is plenty I think :)

2. "It is most likely just.." yes that is true. and for 99% of users that is good enough. Myself, I will lose my job if my clients/ employers find such a huge security hole which I am aware of and ignore. But then again they also expect me to never get near the WWW with my work phone or computer, I am not allowed to have a wifi module in my work laptop! You can see why a "probably just a harmless connection to China" is just not good enough in some situations.

3. If you do a search on XDA for Kingo, you will see that all threads were closed by admins.

4. Time for you to get a new firewall, or tinker with the settings! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xclub_101:
With firmware before MJ3 there is a separate method called Universal Root De La Vega (URDLV) which is a lot more transparent and which (as long as you keep updating with Mobile Odin Pro and you do not change stock kernel and stock recovery) is giving you full root while keeping your Knox 0x0 (if you had it 0x0 before URDLV).
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Zionator:
Oh ok but i have already flashed a custom recovery and rom. To hell with the warranty. I have never liked any stock roms and i like my freedom so my knox will most likely look like 0x2 now.

Kingo : Well if it's that bad then i am sure the moderators will close this and had i known this was the issue then i wouldn't have made this thread. However i would still have used this method if i knew this before as i never stay on stock rom and after finding out about the stupid chip that cant be recoded i didn't wanna wait for someone to come with a solution in one years time so i flashed the rom and recovery and now enjoying the phone :)

So if the Kingo really is that bad it has been wiped from my phone when i flashed a new rom.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] KennyG123:
That is great news! Our security expert has not been available to confirm this and Kingo has not sent us any correspondence to notify us of that. Has anyone confirmed this by recording data traffic while rooting?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Zionator:
Ok i have been reading around the net and all the reported security issues comes back to XDA.

wmshua.com is the site the connection is sent out to but is it possible that the app connects to their servers only in order to download the appropriate phone/device drivers.

On there web site under F.A.Q's

However it pushes Chainfires SuperSU to the device's and apparently they didn't ask him for his permission to use his work.

All in all i don't think isn't a matter of security issue anymore but more likely a matter of hard fellings that they stole Chainfires SuperSU to use in there app without asking him.

Correct me if i am wrong ?
