Manual Time

Is there any way to manually set the time? I have heard of an issue where Sprint has the wrong time, so I was wondering if setting it yourself was an option.

My phone will sometimes randomly jump through different time zones so I had to go into the time and date settings to manually set it to stay in the Eastern time zone.

[Q] disabling cell radio?

I want to intentionally disable the phone from making any phone calls. I'm running cm7.1 on my evo and I want it to be like a dedicated mp3 player with android market access.
I don't want to use airplane mode; I'm looking for a more permanent solution that can't be easily toggled.
I tried freezing com.android.phone and the dialer storage with titanium backup, but then market compatibility broke. Market returned server error.
Possible fixes (that I've thought of) :
Disabling radio driver?
Tricking market to not depend on phone?
Some phone or cm setting I'm missing?
Permanent airplane mode that still doesn't bug out wifi?
I know on cm builds of tablets (nook color and gtab) know that its a tablet and not a phone, and doesn't come with a phone option. Short of compiling my own build of cm7 (which if it's easy enough ill do), is there a way to trick cm7 into thinking it's a tablet?

I don't want to use airplane mode; I'm looking for a more permanent solution that can't be easily toggled.

Airplane mode is the only way. Once you turn it on, it's really not easy to turn it back off, you have to go to settings-wireless and networks.

Is there a way to set it and remove the option?

I know on Ubuntu Linux, specifically grub bootloader, and each of the options were available to edit on a conf file. I edited mine on my computer and added and deleted lines on mine. Does the android setting rely on a similar conf file?

remove the dialer, go to airplane mode. Done.

As I said in my first post, that breaks market.
Please read before posting, isn't that a forum rule?

I am using tapatalk app and it won't show me all my subscribed threads, but I'm pretty sure in general a guy made a thread about how he did it for an EVO he gave to his daughter or something, it listed what you needed to remove. Sorry I realize that's not too helpful, but I will check back here tomorrow and if you didn't find it, I'll post a link.

I found it, see if this works for you. The op says market works.
I did notice the guy had to use a sense rom.

i don't want to use a sense rom, but i'll give it a shot. i'll report back in a sec. thank you very much for the fast reply!
EDIT: after reading the thread, i kinda don't want to rock sense. that thread isn't applicable is it? i'll try forking around with my cm7.1.zip and see if i can get similar results.

FFS, if you're the one that's gonna be using it, then just don't make calls. You can always toggle Airplane mode off, btw, to use the market.

Just flash amon ra and r2r going green, its sense 3.0 very stable & clean. It's got a built in option to turn off radio

Two posts above completely missed the point.
A) IM NOT LOOKING FOR AIRPLANE MODE SETTING UNDER WIRELESS AND NETWORKS.
B) IM NOT USING SENSE. JUST NO.
c) what I am looking for is a configuration file, and if you've never edited grub or Apache etc, you'll never understand what I mean. I haven't tried the apk removal yet, but I will in a sec
Thanks for your help pointing to the apk removal thread, but I'm hoping for real developer suppot here

Goodluck finding dev help. They are few and far between for the EVO anymore. I suggest downloading the Android sdk, finding some threads on here and other forums and learning it yourself. Biting the hand that feeds isn't going to help.
Boo

solved. Procedure:
1 Flash cm7 and gapps.
2 Let all the gapps install and update in the background.
3 Install titanium backup from newest updated market.
4 Make backup of dialer and dialer storage (com.android.phone and com.android.telephony)
5 Uninstall phone, and battery pull when it force close loops
6 Uninstall dialer storage after the reboot finishes
7 Wifi should still work the market!

[Q] Fails to automatically connect to mobile data after Wifi

Does this happen to anyone else? Quite often if I've been using the N2 in my home, when I go out and about my phone will not be connected to mobile data (3G) and I have to toggle airplane mode for it to kick in?

Not had this myself, sounds like the cellular connection is going to sleep and not waking when your note 2 polls for a connection. Are you on a stock rom or a custom, can you post your android version number as well, will help anyone else who posts who may have more information for you.
If your rooted you could try pulling a log at the time you switch connections see if that yields any useful data.

Same here on a german device. I use manually select the Provider. Then it connect. Thank you for the tip with the airplane mode. But I search a way to kick this big. In a german forum a member says that a Fullwipe helps.

Its a stock rooted ROM version JRO03C.N7100XXALJ1
Can anyone tell me what to look for in order to create a log? (I don't expect a tutorial just someone point me in the right direction).
The problem is intermittent.

Give this a go, should allow you to create a log during the time you have the problem then you can see what android is or is not doing at the time.

Not something I have had myself but my gf has this same problem with her gs3. After having a look around our seems to be fairly common on the gs3 so any help with a fix would be great. I can only assume that it's something that will be fixed with a fw update from Samsung.

I have the same issue and so does my girlfriend on her SIII.. Can be really annoying as I might leave somewhere with wifi connectivity expecting the phone to automatically connect to 3g and I miss things like whatsapp messages with no warning :/
When I realise I do use the flight mode trick to fix it but it's annoying that it happens.

Gps issue..

I have an issue with google maps since the past few updates at this point im not sure if its the app itself or my phone I tried other maps app and result were the same...
When I turn my gps on and on google maps press my location it just never locate and when scrolling my status bar down I can see it says searching for gps... and it keeps on going
Also when I need to go somewhere it's just super confusing the navigation app tells me the first directions and just stop working as in no more voice directions after the first one and im always in the same place in the map no...
I really need my gps if someone could help me out...

Can you try GPS Test ? That will rule out the GPS signal works fine. If that fails then you need to fix gps lock. Follow this thread here.
Once that all is sorted out, Try Mapquest's app till you sort out Google Maps. Get Faster Fix. let it set to the geographical continent of your location. That's a one time task. You can forget about it afterwards.
I still have the same problem and did a lot of experimentation. You need to enable location access in 3 different places if its not already on.
1. Go to "Google Settings" app. Make sure location access is turned on for apps.
2. Under phone's Location settings, allow location access. That will turn on GPS and Wireless position. Of these turn off Wireless part by unchecking that one alone.
3. I am not sure of this one, but you also need to check Google maps settings to see if its allowed that all pervasive location access. Don't let it save history though.
Try that and re-post your progress.

Thanks alot guys for the replies sorry for late answer so I decided to try the nvrebuild thingy I still didn't get a chance to use my gps to go somewhere but on a sidenote now when I press my location it can finally locate me !
Also during the reboot is there supposed to have a little blue words saying nvrebuild? Because I didn't get that and when I have done an nvbackup before I did have it just want to make sure

It's been a while but I don't think it will show that text. I think it's because this a function provided either through the modem, or one of the factory test type apps. I'm pretty sure the reboot nvbackup command is a function of a different partition altogether, but uses recovery to execute.
I could be waaaaay wrong on this one as it's just a guess based on my experiences with both. But even if I am wrong, I still am quite sure there's no blue recovery type text when you do this.

Question on update server

After updating to build G891AUCU2APK2 on November 24, I notice that if you check the update server it immediately says no updates available. If you checked before twice in one day for example, it would say you had to wait xxx hours before checking again. Could someone who actually did the update check and see if their phone is doing the same thing. I had to advance the data to get the update, but I reset it to correct date and back to auto after updating.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

I believe you have to be on Wifi to check for an update, but could be wrong on that.

It is on WiFi. What is happening now after the update is when you go to check for updates, it immediately says system is up to date. It is an instantaneous response, i. e., no spinning while it supposedly checks the server for an update. I am wondering how I'll ever get future updates if it really isn't checking the server. There would have to be a lag while it checks the server plus it does not say check again in xxx hours no matter how many times you check. So, I got the update, but now I'm screwed I guess for future updates.

I would clear the cache/data of the update app via Application Manger, and then reboot.

If you mean the AT&T software update app, the clear data and cache options are grayed out. I cleared the entire system cache partition, but that did nothing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

OK, according to AT&T, this is now normal behavior. No more "check back in 24 hours" messages and if your software is up to date, you'll get an immediate response that software is up to date. When an update is actually available, it will connect to the server at that time for download. Rep said they have changed the whole procedure for updates and they should come faster. There will be a couple of small updates in December prior to Nougat they said.

shame theres no updates for download, or for when outside US (when say on holiday/work) ...

Your option of advancing the date and or time worked for me I'm downloading update now even-though it originally said I had to wait x amount of hours. Thanks for the advice on that.

I am very new in this data thing and will like to pls ask how to advance my data

Go to settings then go over to the date and time option then turn off auto time zone option then go to the date option that is now available and change it to the next day
