[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Mix:
short version:

i am looking for the cause why the android date format is not ISO 8601 concurrent adjustable.

long version:

on an operating system like linux/unix or win one can set the date format to various formats including the ISO 8601 concurrent one. for decades!

so the user can decide if it is:

1/19/15

19/1/15

Jan.19,2015

19/01/2015

19.01.2015

2015.01.19

2015/01/19

2015-01-19 <- thats the ISO 8601

there are even are more

with a reference to:

i take android as an modern operating system and am confused about the date format.

my confusion is based on the following experiences:

- samsung stock rom 4.4.4

- htc stock rom 2.3.2

- samsung stock rom 4.4.2

- CM11 rom 4.4.4

- CM12 rom 5.0.2

- PAC-ROM rom 4.4.4

- sony stock rom 4.3

- sony stock rom 4.2

- toshiba stock rom 4.3

all roms lack the ISO 8601 option ... :confused:

and to make it even worse:

if the system language is changed the seperator is changed too. imho paradoxical.

paradoxical because:

if set to an european country language for example the option MMDDYYYY is still available and no european would use this.

if the language is changed to english (US) as next example the option DDMMYYYY is still available and the seperator . is changed to /

hence paradoxical!

one cant keep a standard date format across the language settings!

and one can think now: why isnt there a 'standard'?

here it is:

ISO 8601

so why is this not considered?

am i in a so tiny minority that cares?

take the following scenario:

a non native english speaking, european based user sets his device language to 'English (UK)'

the date and time setting goes automatically to so called 'regional' DDMMYYY and can be changed to YYYYMMDD with a / seperator.

wouldnt it be nice to have YYYYMMDD with a - seperator?

that was the long version to my question:

why can my android not be configured to show the ISO 8601 date format?

if there is a way to manipulate/hack the locale settings on my devices i am happy for an advice/link/hint/howto
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Mix:
well...

was it the wrong forum here for this kind of question?

can one give an advice where to post to reach the involved guys?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
While it should have been in the questions forum, there is no real harm here.

Yes you are in the minority on this. Very few people have to worry about it as they just use a widget for time and date and some should have what your looking for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Mix:
quite strange

anyone?

today, maybe?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetlevSchm:
I second your complaint.

An international standardization is supposed to spread all over the world, but it cannot, if it is not supported by the operating system, or the apps themselves.

Things like the date/time format, the measurement system, etc. should not depend on the chosen language.

However, there is a second hurdle: A lot of apps simply don't care about the user's choice of the date format, or if s/he specified "Large text" in Accessibility.

Ignorance rules the world :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Mix:
finally...

[MENTION=6384522]DetlevSchm[/MENTION]

i am not sure what to think about it at all.

as you mentioned it is a simple BASIC thing/option!

imho this just clearly shows the still under construction status of android, despite the given version 5.x somthing :rolleyes:

at least i am not alone, and i will keep on question here.:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Mix:
hm...

i am in contact with android for some time now and i am not sure how to take this.

ok, i have had the hope to find a representative or maybe important platform here. obviously not! :(

can one give a hint how to get to the cause of this failure?

how to get in touch with the ones that created that mess?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Mix:
so...

any news :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Mix:
so it is M now...

is there any progression?:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Mix:
still wrong ...

same poo on N ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datarimlens:
With all due respect:

- "Very few people have to worry about it as they just use a widget for time and date and some should have what your looking for" => while many users are getting used to twiddle app settings on a daily basis, most of them would have better things to do than update date and time settings, possibly even after an app updates, on a widget basis. Sometimes that is even not possible. A consistent approach supported by the OS for a world ISO standard time format would be appreciated. IMHO this may only be lacking because Android was not around for Y2K fixes.

- I am sitting here as I cannot change the date format on my LG phone on Android Oreo. Some apps just take the system format (in my case US format) and generate filenames.

- It is really incovenient to sort by the US date format. Big Endian such as ISO 8601 would be appreciated. I would also prefer not to use the little endian DD-MM-YYYY German format or thier commas as decimal separators.

- Many people are internationally active. I do honestly believe that most of them would appreciate ISO 8601 support and a choice of decimal separator.

Thank you for understanding.

I wanted to fully encrypt my phone but it just resets itself after trying to do it. I did a search and people say it's because phone needs stock recovery to do it. I'm on stock D85510L_00, using AndroidnowHD 1.6 mod. Does anyone have the stock recovery so I can flash it with flashify to encrypt my phone?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flowrome:
Hi everyone i bought my kfhd 7 two years ago and everytime modded without any issues but accidentally I wiped system sdcard and everything and as soon as kfhd can't read otg USB I can't flash with external device..

My computer with w8.1 can't recognize the device I've already tried installing manually the driver but but my laptop doesn't allow me to do it and to make adb sideload working I need my comps recognizes the device... My kfhd can boot recovery and fastboot but I don't have a flash cable.. Some suggestions?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
I'll suggest you to get yourself a Linux live CD. Windows,especially 8 and 8.1 aren't good for modding the Fire. Once you boot into Linux,install adb with the following command:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

Then boot the kindle into recovery and sideload a ROM zip.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanayk:
Hi, so recently I got a second hand HTC one M8.

A few months ago i rooted, achieved s-off and installed a custom ROM. After installing an update my phone no longer accepted my sim card, it asks me to 'complete sim card set up' but when i try to it gives me no carrier options.

My attempt at fixing was changing from the ROM i was using (i have no idea what ROM it was) to the latest Viper ONE ROM.

Now my phone is stuck on the HTC screen, i can enter the bootloader and recovery (TWRP) but that is it.

I will post any info needed but unfortunately I am a bit of a noob and it's a miracle I got this far in the first place.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omer323:
hi guys,

got confused from all the guides and stuff...

I'm getting a new LG G3 today (so i don't care to WIPE it...) and i really don't like the stock rom, and i need root.

what to do first? i'd like to get links to easy guides...

and also, which custom ROM is most recommended? i want something close to the Nexus Edition (maybe CM i best for me?) but i do want the KnockKnock feature to be there by default...

i'de like to get a guide to install the ROM too...

Thank you all!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Experiences:
set up your phone

root it with purple drake

download flashify from google play and grant superuser rights to it

flash a bumped recovery.img that's made for your device version with flashify

download a rom for your device from the lg g3 development forum

boot to recovery

wipe data + press back + factory reset + wipe system + cache + dalvik cache

back to the main screen of the recovery img

install the stock rom you downloaded

enjoy.

i explained it like you are my mother. don't mind it.

edit: knockcode doesn't work on custom roms yet as far as i know. you can download the cloudy rom that's based on stock lg lollipop though.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omer323:
if you tell your mother "flash a bumped recovery.img" and she knows exactly what to do, you have a very special mother!

anyway, i think i got it all but "wipe data + press back + factory reset + wipe system + cache + dalvik cache". what do mean press back? i guess ill know what to do when i get there, but i wanna make sure...

and i'm still looking for a custom ROM recomendation :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Experiences:
just to be sure. you just click "advanced wipe", wipe data, press back once and there is a factory reset slider. you do it and go to advanced wipe again and wipe system + cache + dalvik cache.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omer323:
sounds easy...

and how i install the custom ROM?

transfer it to my phone, go into recovery, click flash, and choose the ROM file?

do i need an external sd card?...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Experiences:
you don't need an external sd. just download the rom zip you want, transfer it to your phone's internal memory with a usb cable before you wipe anything. do the wiping steps, go back to the main page, click install, choose the zip, click reboot system, done. ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omer323:
Thenk You!!!

you made it much easier to understand...

Last Q, hope youll know that:

CM seems to be the best ROM, i think ill go for it. if i install CM, will i still have the KnockKnock feature?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Experiences:
no, you won't. but double tap to wake will work.

why do you need knockcode that much? it's not so practical as it seems. i'm just using the swipe lock screen. :)

i'd suggest you start with the cloudy rom for at least a few weeks and try other custom roms if you want to.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omer323:
oh sorry, i ment the DoubleTap2Wake and DoubleTap2Sleep... (i need them because the button is in the back...)

why cloudy and not CM?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Experiences:
oh double tap to wake and sleep works on every rom. you may use screen off and lock app from google play if you want to use another launcher like nova as well.

i like cloudy because i think lg has the best stock android experience when it's compared to other phones.

cm and other custom roms' cameras are really bad as well, they don't have the driver that lg stock roms have.

if you think these custom roms are enough for you and you need kind of better speeds, then yeah go for it and install them. :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omer323:
Is there a cloudy rom based on lollipop? Or only Kk? I couldn't find one...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omer323:
just finished installing CM and everything

it was so easy!! even easier then in my old nexus 5!

thank you so much!!
[P3600 General] sTe:
Well, I've been using my SDHC for a while. Been getting lots of memory corruptions, so I just place it in my card reader and reformat the card.

My card got corrupt again, so I thought I would upgrade to the latest ROM update, and would format the card and start again.

So I upgraded the ROM on my trinity, performed a format on my card and then stuck the card into the trinity after my ROM had been updated. Strange ... it wants to format the card, I clicked yes... then a few seconds later it reported an error (i didnt make not of it). I try reading the card from the trinitiy ... then from my PC and now I cant read the card at all.

I have tried on another PC (Windows XP on both).

I have tried WM5torage, I have tried Panason Format, I have tried Pocket Mechanic. Does anyone have any ideas? Its almost like the pocket PC cant see the card at all, and whatever the format did do to the car when it stopped, totally killed it off. Anyone with any ideas?
[P3600 General] jmermel:
It's toast

Same thing happened to me.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
I had an issue like that with my SDHC card. I took it to the local electronics shop and formatted it in a new SDHC compatible digital camera. Now it works again:) . I don't thing that it is a good idea to format an SDHC card in your Trinity.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
Hi everyone

After a 15-20' of charging time (phone's being off), my Mediapad X1 GOES ITSELF IN FASTBOOT MODE (prompted on screen). Of course no buttons where pressed, and multiple chargers and cable have been tested.

I guess that this is because power off button is set to put the device not completly off (keeping some ressources available, for a more "fast boot"). a kind of deep sleep/hibernate state like on some computers.

Nobody knows where to find the option for non fastboot mode when using the power off button (usually a fastboot checkbox), as available on other android devices? I've found nothing on my system settings (Kikat B103 for 7D-501L).

thx
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
As far as I heard from other users, they don't get fastboot mode, whan charging with power off! Even long time charging.

There mustbe a parameter to set "NOT going in fastboot mode when tuning the device off". If not on the device system settings., maybe with adb?

thks for any help!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mq35:
You need to change the mother board from your X1 in official service. It is a warranty case.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
Well, if this is the only problem with my X1 (as it is by now), I doubt I'll send it back for that. I can charge with power on!

Moreover, as the recovery is custom, and the telephone rooted, it might be a trouble for the warranty, but clearly more, this can be the cause for such a weird charging behaviour.

But thanks for the advice anyway. I'll get any other clue by the way....
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] joliv:
It also happens to my X1. I thought was related to the fact I've installed a custom recovery. Is this also your case?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Djiban:
Definitly !!!

And I reckon this is the reason why.

I'll have to turn back to stock recovery when the next OTA wil show up (it seems the update process with sdload folder at reboot is related to the non-custom recovery), so I'll have a confirmation then. I'm just waiting for the next OTA for 7D-503L B103 kikat.

Anyway thanks a lot for confirming my doubts!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] SuperBilleN:
Hi ive just Won this device on Ebay,

I live in Denmark(Europe)

Clean ESN do any of you know what it means?

Also isn´t this an global device? Talked to Motorola support and they couldn´t promise me that it would work in Europa as it was Verizon only device?'

To me it sounds like BS

But now i worry if it can be used in my network

Thnx all
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Cleasn ESN: The jist of it, is it not blacklisted on Verizon, It can be activated, in other words.

It is a Verizon exclusive unlocked global device (which technically isnt true anymore due to Moto Maxx). It will work as long as it supports your carrier's frequencies.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] thegrants82:
You understand that Europa is one of Jupiters moon's, right?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
It'll work there too as long as Europa carriers are transmitting on LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13.

2G bands

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

CDMA 800 / 1900

3G bands

HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO

4G

LTE: 700 / 1700 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 (Bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13)

Code name for Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx is QUARK -- so of course it was made for space travel. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] MauricioBR:
Actually, Moto Maxx is GSM only and has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 17.

Droid Turbo is GSM/CDMA with LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jtorress:
How is this relevant? LOL

Anyways clean ESN means is safe to activate on any compatible network because the first buyer did not default on his contract. I think this would only affect it if you were to activate it on Verizon (USA) not sure tho.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
He said he won the Droid Turbo. I gave the specs for the Droid Turbo. So, I'm not sure what you are correcting. :rolleyes:

But if you want to talk Moto Maxx, I'll correct you. ;) The Moto Maxx (XT1225) has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17 -- in spite of what Motorola lists on the "official" specs. I know because the NV bands show it. I own two Moto Maxx phones.

The phone with the Moto Maxx FCC ID went through FCC testing with LTE band 5, and Motorola never disabled it. They added LTE band 3 to sell in Latin America. They do not list LTE band 5, but when you root and scan with QPST and QXDM sofware you see it's there.

FCC Documents. Note the FCC ID.

Same FCC ID:

Discussed extensively in another thread. Present on both the Puerto Rico and Mexico Moto Maxx phones. Since the same FCC ID number is also listed on Brazil Moto Maxx, it's all Moto Maxx phones.

Using the NV bands calculator, the sum for LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 17 should be 65,614. But we have 65, 630. The only combination that gives you 65, 630 is LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17 -- which makes sense since LTE band 5 was enabled when it was tested by the FCC.

It's still there, ready to be used. Jut not admitted by Motorola since LTE band 5 is not used in Latin America. To make the phone be the Moto Maxx (XT12225 )for Latin America, Motorola added LTE band 3, added two more GSM bands -- but never disabled LTE band 5.

Even in the equivalence letter, Motorola never stated all the LTE bands the FCC found:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] r3pwn:
I'm not exactly familiar with LTE bands and such, but does that mean that the Moto Maxx will work with CDMA networks such as Verizon, too?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jtorress:
Sometimes I think its a good idea to make separate threads for these 2 devices. I would really help avoid these confusions.

Sent from a DROID.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] MauricioBR:
Hahah, sorry. My comment was more towards [MENTION=1415579]adrynalyne[/MENTION] who had said it wasn't true anymore that it's a verizon exclusive.

My understanding is that the modem is still different, as not all bands are mentioned on the declaration of equivalence.

Known issues &amp; FAQ

Known issues & FAQ

Is it possible to decrypt Cyanogenmod, AOSP based ROM's?

Obviously not. As this TWRP version uses Samsung's crypto libraries this will not work (well you could give it a try but I think the chances are at 0,1% that it would work).

Why is this such an old version?

The reason why I use v2.7 is that I do not need to patch many code here. v2.8 need to be fully patched to get it work so I do not know if I will do it. Maybe...

So what is the exact differences to TWRP by bubor?

In short:

They are technical identical but when compiled sediTWRP will use all CRYPTO Flags needed to support Samsung decryption. To get this fully work I patched TWRP code related to decryption and proprietary Samsung crypto libraries have been included.

In detail:

Check out the sources at Github (see OP - section "Sources")

Are there any known bugs?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
whats the diference of original TWRP by [MENTION=5112223]bubor[/MENTION] ?

whats exactly mean encryption & decription. i install, backup, and nandroid backup of my first rom fine. and no problem by v2.6 v2.7 2.8

why used this old version for develop?

----------------------------------------------------------------

please Make a recovery or odin flashable version after more stabler. ( i dont good feeling about adb & termnal Emulators Codes )
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
Open system settings - Security - Device Encryption. This will encrypt your device. Once it is encrypted it will be not possible to backup with twrp anymore.

The reason why I use v2.6 is that I do not need to patch the code here. I currrently develop on v2.7 which will be released soon. V2.8 need to be fully patched to get it work so I do not know if I will do it. Maybe.

-----
[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
1)

ahaaa! understand :o

ok. we dont need the v2.7 & 2.8 . this 2.6 version enough for us. becuse the v2.6 in enough for installing ics & jb roms. dont need 2.7 for stock ics. dont worry. Take it easy. Forget that...

thanks for you work :good:

-------------------------------------------------------

2)

Im fully backup by cwm from my stock GB rom!

i restored it 2 or 3 times fine. and fully worked.

the android v2.3 isnt encrypted? only ics encrypted and cant backup?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
I do not know if 2.3 can be encrypted but even with ICS you need to enable it manually. In Lollipop encryption will be enabled by default but not in gingerbread or Ics.

-----
[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
Im Sure. We can backup from GB by CWM normally

You can test it in ICS

Perhaps working too
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
You mean encrypted(!) GB? Afaik CWM has no support for encrypted devices. Maybe CWM will simply dump

-----
[Samsung Captivate Glide] organic2:
No no. Fully nandroid backup from my first orginal GB by cwm. And restore anf use it 3 times :eek:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
You dont use encypt. Yes, you can backup GB, but you CAN NOT backup encypred GB.

Actually You can backup any encypted partition by dump raw data.

Nobody cares when I removed encrypt support from my twrp builds.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
well yes until now.. ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
in the meanwhile:

sediTWRP v2.0 has been arrived

(check out download section above).

-> based on TWRP v2.7.1 instead of 2.6.3

Decrypting /sdcard is still not possible yet.

I decided instead of merging to TWRP v2.8 the decryption of /sdcard will be my next focus now.

Greetings.
