This morning I noticed my phone being an hour behind on the time. Strange thing is if I put it in airplane mode and switch back the time will correct itself, but will quickly revert to being an hour behind as soon as any app is loaded.
Currently rooted running Syndicate Frozen. Anyone else having this issue?

I am wondering if it has something to do with my Airave. I left the house and the time is fine. I'll check that when I get home.

Man im having the same issue. My neighbor got an Airave a week ago and they same stuff is going on. In my house its an hour behind. when i leave its fine. Its gotta be that Airave as my wifes Stock Shift does the same thing. Let me know (if you would) if you could dig around in your airave settings and see if there is something not set right or . . . .something. Thanks.
BTW CM7 rc2 seems to have the most trouble, sense rom seems to hang on a little better but still reverts back and forth, whereas cm just stays an hour behind till i leave the house.
Probably the airave. I had the same problem, go into airave settings and make sure time zone and DST settings are correct. Once you have thosebset right reset the airave with the reset button in the back and let everything reboot. This fixed it for me.

no problems here
I'm using the airave. Here is the funny thing. I'm in AZ, so no dst. My wife's Optimus S adjusted automatically until she rebooted. My epic was the right time when I woke up. My friend lives in a different house also with an airave. His Evo didn't change back to the non dst adjusted time until he was half way to a meeting in his car. So I don't think it's an airave issue.
It is a strange phenomenon, I am still having the issue, but my wife's phone is not. Although she does not have an Epic, just a Rumor 2.
I'll check the settings on the Airave. I seem to only have the problem at home.
Well my neighbors FInally turned theirs off . . . no more issues. Dont really know what the deal was but everythings works great now.

So picked this phone up yesterday and so far the major issues i've come across are:
Random touch screen issue - I'll use the phone normally for a while but sometimes when i'm playing a game (NOVA... which i deleted now) or strolling through a menu (happened in olive tree reader and the amazon store) a small area of the screen will spaz out... it's also happened on the stock lock screen and then persisted a few seconds after I rebooted to get rid of the issue. It's annoying because just as soon as I'm ready to chalk it up as a fluke or some random app issue... it shows up again somewhere else. Now.. this isn't during "one handed operation".. the device is in my left hand.. no fingers on the screen... using my right index finger to do the navigating.
Quite a few apps just don't work - all of my gameloft stuff, Age of Zombies, the video creator app (Samsung... your own freeking app?!?), and a handfull of others either crash immediately, don't start, or crash after seemingly opening just fine. Sidenote... so after a night off it's feet Age of Zombies is working this morning.
signal issues - the reception on this phone it utterly attrocious. I'll go from 5 bars (never the full 6) down to 2 without moving... which means it's a grip issue. I've cupped the bottom portion of the phone (around where the capacitive buttons and the back "lip" are) and watch my signal degrade while removing my hands brings that signal right back... also.. i'm ONE ROOM over from my wireless router and the signal hovers around none to 2 bars on the wifi indicator... HOWEVER... now that I'm at work.. i'm on my corporate wifi.. great reception... cell strength? 5 or 6 bars.... what the feezy.
So.. in a nutshell are these issues normal? should I return this for another unit? I absolutely LOVE this phone... as a pda. It's fast, i dig the large screen, i heart android and touchwiz is actually kinda cool so i may not root this thing with all that said it's just been a little unreliable and I need to be sure that this device will work when i need it to.
Thanks for the input guys.
Reception is a known problem that sprint has acknowledged, they say they are working on a fix.
The screen spazzes out when charging, if it is spazzing out at other times your phone is not normal.
Apps crash sometimes when I start then, but restarting the app usually works fine.
All mobile OS's are beta because they are young. In the 90s windows was even more unstable, and became more stable with time.

Ok.. so the only REAL issue i have is the crashing apps... which will hopefully get better over time then?
Your response was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to address my concerns
The screen spazz thing ( if not on stock charger ) is enough to make me go in and exchange it. Mine has none of the probs you have

If you have probs with apps crashing, try a factory restore. Also check when the app was last updated by the dev, it may just be out of date and written for 2.1

It's not likely to be an outdated app, these were all apps I was using (successfully) on my G2x, until I sold it and bought the GS2 the same day.
I'm glad to know these are KNOWN issues that either have reasonable workarounds or are being worked on. I can deal without games, all of my essentials (productivity apps) are working. Thanks people.

oh yeah... also, heading to the local sprint store in a minute to test out this theory.. i do remember that i was charging while playing deathworms when it spazzed on me... the lock screen as well, but whenever i messed with the in store demo units... no problems. I may get an exchange anyway though. Thanks!
Hi,
Does anyone have this problem on their phone? Every now and then, when I am doing a data related function, data hangs as though it is not connected even though I am in a perfect 4g coverage area and the 4g sysmbol is still on. I know its hanging because the arrow to the right of the 4g symbol stays lit green. It either starts working 5 minutes later on its own or I turn wifi on and off. I have the newest sim card installed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
probably a software related issue
the only time i experience that is when i lose connectivity with the network, as in the signal bars or 3G/4G arrows are all greyed
Yea dude i noticed even tho i have wifi set to never it always shuts off or i should say loses connection i hate it because i have to pull down status bar hit it off then on wifi is definitely effed on stock too. Anyone else experiencing this? I know its a problem cuz my g2x i could leave it alobe for an hour in hibernate come back and wifi still good to go anyone have any ideas? Or is it a s2 problem witg wifi cutting off. Like i said the icon will still be there but i wont have connection and 50% of the time i have wifi icon and 4g
Same issue here, in two different phones I've had. Not sure what the issue is. In fact, opening this page, my data was hanging for a minute, irony.

for this issue you can configure how WiFi behaves, but the settings are only accessible via spareparts or custom ROMs

But this happens to me when my wifi is off. Only on the cellar data connection.
I had this issue after giving juice defender superuser permissions. It seemed that it would not turn data back on when I had the screen on. I'm not sure if this applies to you, but I no longer gave juice defender su and everything was fine. a lot of those functions in that app do not seem to play nicely with this phone yet anyway.

+1 to everything already mentioned.
I was in Vegas this weekend and had HORRIBLY slow/no data at all. Like has been mentioned, the green arrow with just stay lit. thought i was the rom, i nandroided back to stock, same issue. Hope this is fixed soon it is hella annoying.
This fixed it for me
I have had this same issue for a while, here's how to fix it. Go to Titanium backup, I found out that there're two versions of "My account" on the list, so I frozed the old one, then go to task manager "kill all", the 4G icon will disappear. Open up "My account" again, the 4G reappears but as soon as I close the app, the 4G icon would disappear.
Hope it helps someone
I too have similar problems where my data hangs or doesnt want to connect. Then a few minutes later, it will decide to start working. This happens even in full signal regions. Stock rom and/or BeastMod rom...
Not sure why it happens :S
For those having problems and have tmobile my account on phone freeze it or uninstall it i guarantee it fixes your data problems trust me. I to had problems just like you guys and i was told to uninstall my account i was like what? What the hell is that going to do but believe me when i say it worked! I actually unfroze it to see if the problem would come back (4g and wifi on at same time) or cutting out. And it did. So i refroze my account and bam 4g disapeared while wifi on. This has fixed all my wifi and data problem phone works flawless now! Basically i think t-mobile trying to snoop with our data. Scumbags
This is happening to me. The phone is driving me mad. It happens constantly. The "up arrow" in the 4g icon will light up, and all data will freeze. I stare at loading screens all day long. It freezes anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Then it will fix itself, then it will happen again within 2-5 minutes. I'm furious with this phone.
Wifi works great. It's not dependent on my location, it happens no matter where I am. Doesn't matter what I do, nothing prevents it from happening. Of course, the Airplane mode toggle or resetting APNs and all that will do the trick to fix it temporarily, but it will only happen again 5 minutes later.
I'm on stock, unrooted. I am ready to throw this phone at the wall. Has anybody else managed to actually fix it or get a response from Samsung/T-Mobile?
I should have read this thread before buying this phone. This is so annoying. I tried to put the phone in flight mode. It fixed for a min and back to problem.
I'm having the same problem. I didn't have this problem until I updated to 2.3.6. Anyone else still on an earlier version?

Same things been happening to me lately, its awfully annoying. Makes me want to throw my phone across the room sometimes.
Having issues re-connecting to ATT when I loose signal wether its from being in an area with no connection and/or being conmected to WiFi for extended period of time. I will still get emails but no incoming or outgoing calls and messages. The only way to reconnect to ATT is to turn phone off/on.

Your not alone. I have been having this issue the last few days. Just yesterday I had no signal in an area I always have signal. Not sure what is the cause and have gone back to a nandroid I made before doing the XS sound mod as I thought maybe the older version was the issue. Have not seen anything odd yet.
The other day I did have a interesting thing happen. I had sent some pics to a friend and they showed up as sent but she never got them. The next morning I wake up and see a odd icon in the status bar and it told me all the pics had failed. Was very strange.

I've just gone through my first day of use with the LGOG, and a few issues have come to my attention.
The first is that while I was at work, i felt the device getting hot in my pocket. When I checked to see what was going on, it was searching for GPS. I had tried to use Maps, and it couldn't find me so later on I turned on location services/satellite GPS so it could actually find me. I haven't noticed it since. Could that have been the solution?
Issue 2 was that it seemed that my WiFi was turning on by itself, and it was draining my battery searching for a signal. I had turned it off when I left my house, but it seemed like it came back on and started searching in vain for a signal. I turned it off again, and haven't had that issue since. Has anyone else had this happen, or did I accidentally activate WiFi without knowing it and that's all there is to it?
One other issue I was having was with the text cursor freaking out and going to the front of my texts. I can't really remember for sure if it has happened since I updated to ZV9, so does anyone know if ZV9 had a fix for that or if I've just been lucky the past few hours?
Thats all I can think of for now, thanks for any help you guys can give me!

For your wifi randomly turning on make sure you have connection optimization off (system settings, mobile networks). ZV9 shouldve fixed the crazy text issue. Not sure about your device heating up with gps, maybe you had Google maps running in the background trying to pick up your location. Hope I helped!

I turned off the connection optimization, what exactly is its function? Will I get decreased mobile network performance with it off?
Also, I am wondering if anyone knows about the Qualcomm Enhanced Location Service. Does it help or hurt performance/battery life/etc...?

The connection optimizer basically turns on wifi to search for a signal and then shuts off if it can't pick up anything. Of course this only happens when you have it checked and using data. I'm not certain what the qualcomm enhancement location service does besides help you getting a gps lock.. I know I've always had it enabled and gotten an instant lock almost all the time with great battery life. On a side note, you'll love the speed and build of this phone, plus our devs are working hard to bring us jellybean sooner than sprint/lg

I came from the Evo Shift, and I am just blown away with the speed, screen clarity, and beauty of this device. I've had to go back to my old shift a couple times to get a thing or two off of it or check what apps I'm forgetting and each time I get pissed at how slow and small it is haha. I'm loving it so far, and hopefully with these small issues worked out I will love it even more. When the roms start dropping, well thats just a bonus =]

In regards to notifications, is there any way to limit update intervals for facebook? I feel like its going to eat my battery up if its always telling me about facebook stuff the moment its posted lol.
Also, is there any way to increase the rate that the notification light blinks? I feel its not blinking regularly enough for me to notice it if I've got a text or something.

Under facebook settings just change interval to update less regularly. I use flash blink. It actually flashes the LED light to let me know. Unless of course you want to be private about it.
To add a little about the Connections Optimizer: It's Sprint thing that they're adding to all of their phones. It basically turns on wifi briefly, even when wifi is off, to try to connect to open wifi networks. I'm pretty sure it's an effort by Sprint to keep people off their 3g/4g network and on wifi whenever possible to reduce bandwidth usage. It is also incredibly annoying, because it notifies me of the free wifi in my city (that's strong enough to locate, but not strong enough to transfer data and stay connected) every time I am in certain areas. The pop-up about new open networks also gets in the way of receiving phone calls sometimes. Turn it off. Android already connects to your remembered wifi networks automatically, and I think you can handle the wifi on/off toggling.

I couldn't stand connection optimizer. Walking through NYC to go to work, I'd look down and see my phone actually connecting to and using ANY open wifi signal on my walk down the blocks. I would think that's a huge security issue for phones to randomly connect to any network it sees. Just think of how well easily it could be to rig a router to sniff all those data packets!
Not sure if it's the rom or modem as I flashed both at the same time. But I'm running a fresh wipe of cleanrom 1.5 and a radomly I loose service a lot I can look at the phone and it will randomly have no service for ablut. A min and then come back. This never happened before. When I flashed for the first few days I was at my house which I have a microcell and I even exspanced the issue there as well

I had my wife call me like 12 times in a row and the phone didn't ring once. On her end it would ring and ring then go to voice mail which is odd because usually when you don't have service it will like ring once and then go to voice mail. I have a lot of people telling me they called me but my phone never rings or shows a missed call when this problem is happening. This happens randomly and i don't know what triggers it. I was about to root few months back and then these issues started popping up so i decided to hold off. Problems like the screen rotation always sticks and i will have to restart the phone every other day just so the apps will rotate properly and other little things that.
