[Q] A Daylight savings problem - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so our prime minister decided to abolish daylight savings for good! And my Desire Z isn't liking it.
I'm running android 2.2 and i've manually put in the time and its working almost properly now, however the timing in ALL the applications is an hour ahead.
for example if i send an sms at 6:00pm the time stamp is 6:00pm, great. But when i receive an SMS at the same time it comes as 7:00pm which is a problem.
The same with tiwtter and all the apps on the phone.
Does anybody know how I can fix this?
Thanks alot!

Well it's receiving the time from your network correct? Have you tried calling your carrier? Sounds to me like it could be their end causing the problem.

I don't think so because apps like twitter that have nothing to do with the carrier have the same problem... any other ideas?
Thank you!

what happens when you change it to network time?

When I have it on automatic it goes back to daylight saving, which is an hour later than actual now!

Whatsapp messages delayed

Hi everybody. Hope someone can help me out here. I have a note 2 LTE and my whatsapp messages are taking quite awhile to reach me and this only happens if I leave the phone in standby for about 15mins without doing anything. After that, it can take up to 30mins before the whatsapp notification alert goes off. But if I manually open whatsapp, the whole load of messages will be received all at once. Network signal and data are strong and I am not moving. So I suspect it has something to do with the phone data settings because my HTC one x do not have this problem at all. Anybody can help me? Thanks in advance!
Are you running any sort of battery saver?

have gotten the same problem before.
maybe you are using some apps like task killer ?
Hi. Thanks for all the replies. Nope, I am not running any task killer or battery saver. How did you guys resolve this?
Some kind of firewall or data management issue. Classic answer but i think it will solve your problem: just factory reset..

Thanks for the reply. Oh my. Any other way to solve this? My note 2 is rooted so I have access to system files.

Does this happen with any other application such as email, Skype, chat on? If it's only related to whatsapp then just try to clear it's data, uninstall and download it again.

I have the same issue. But only while on 3G. When on WiFi, messages are near instant. Still no solutions :crying:
Im having this issue too with my two days old Nexus 4 and had it with my Galaxy S. Maybe its whatsapp server's fault.

I think in my case it has something to do with the network. I've tried on a different network and its fine. Time to change network I guess guess

[Q] text messages send fail after OTA

***If your having similar issues, please call sprint to make them aware of the issue.****
Anyways, can any one help me. I updated to jelly bean OTA, and since then my LGOG does not like to send text messages out. My phone will not send messages shorter than 10-20 characters. Im in the CHICAGO area. No problem receiving them, just more often then not i get a failed sent. I have tried resetting the phone hard/soft. I took my phone into sprint and they said I need a new phone. Wtf! Anyone have this issue, or have any ideas to resolve this?
Im pretty disapointed right now, the phone was flawless before the update! Never had a single problem before. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE.. In conclusion,if anyone is interested, I believe the new jellybean update just doesn't play well with my towers in my area of Chicago. With the jelly bean update my voice signal was excellent, but the data signal was degraded. I always noticed, with ics while 4glte was connected, the voice signal was less. With jelly bean it seemed to be just the opposite at all times, great voice so so data connection. Only if i could have both and jellybean wtf?? Maybe someone could help me on here and explain a radio/jelly combo i would have best of both worlds.
Seems to be a Chicago issue.
**Either way I aquired LGNPST and original TOT file and reflashed the phone with original software and have not accepted the jellybean update for now.**
If you would like me to host the files needed PM me, I'll send you links.
I suposed I could have tried to reflash ZV9/ICS or ZV9 radios, but I bricked the phone before trying that.
I must have got the best phone out there. I've never had a problem with any software version we've had.

Rub it in why dont ya.... Well mine was the best android phone that i have owned. I never had a single issue before this.
I guess since i havent got any responses no one else has this issue. Is there anyway to reflash jellybean on my phone again?
Have you tried a ##72786# in the dialer? It will reprogram the phone. It won't erase anything.

I have not tried the ## but ill give it a shot. Sprint may have done that.
More on this issue, it seems just not to send short messages. Like lol, no, yes anything shorter than a sentence. I have noticed tht long texts send fine, and picture text seem lightning fast. Whch is great, but cant respond to someone with a simple yes or no. Wtf
I have also noticed a bigger delay between automatic switching between 3g and 4g. Before the update the switching was seamless.
I have also rooted and reflased the ota, same issue. I did not flash the radios seperate tho.
The ## did not fix my text issue. Sprint store did do this as well.
Still have this same issue anyone figure anything out? Anyone have anymore suggestions i can try? Sprint does something on their end, and restore the phone with ## and it works for an hour, then back to the same issue.
Peteyo, are you in Chicago? Maybe it's it's a network issue. I'm having the same problem and so is my buddy. I can't believe more people aren't coming forward with this if it's a national thing.
But let me know if you find a fix, and I'll do the same. And you're right, it only happens on short messages!
Im in Chicago and having the same issues, even with other messenger apps that use stock mms, I also use whats app and have no issues. They seem to be random some send and some don't. If there is a fix please post it is a pain .

***If you have this issue please call sprint, so they are aware of issue****
I have chalked it up to LG sucking! or I supose it could be sprint. The JB update they pushed changes the way the phone communicates with the towers. I grabbed bits and pieces from other threads with data problems and came to that conclusion. It doesn't appear to make issues with everyone, or have the same problems.
What i did, and what maybe the easiest is to reflash the phone back to its original form out of the box. Also im not accepting the ZVB/jelly bean update that messed up our phones. To return to original state, u must aquire LGSNPT, and Sprint`s original tot file. You can find these two in the developer sections. Its really easy and painless and get you right back where u need to be. The toughest part is putting your phone into download mode. vol+ vol- and power buttons.
Make sure u back up your pictures/things you may want to keep.
Option 2 you can **** around and try to find an ICS file, root your phone, and flash it back to ics. Or better yet root and flash ZV9 radios.
However im not sure if these will work. I have not been able to find ZV9 radios.
Option 3 if you have insurance get a new reman phone, or if no insurance pay sprint 50bucks for a reman phone. But you will still have the same issue if you update to ZVB/jellybean.
I wish I new more about this stuff and make a custom radio that has the voice improvements from ZVB/Jellybean, and the data from ICS/ZV9. Probably not even possible.

I'm in the Chicago area and noticed the same thing...
The strange part of all of this is that my text messages will always send if they are greater than about 10 to 20 characters. Anything smaller than that amount will give me a send failure. Has anyone else had that experience?
Data and Cell Reception have been stellar for myself since the update -- I believe I was having the texting issues before OTA (though I wasn't rooted at that point)

That was my exact issue! I had to send complete sentences. WTF

Don't you feel a greater level of sophistication when you have to type an entire sentence?
I'm sure it's Sprint trying to cut down on their SMS costs, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Funny! I guess I should have just added a bunch of quick messages that are complete sentences for a yes or no answers. And the lesser 4g reception does slow down my midget porn downloading. Maybe it really is a win win...

Yeah I have the same problem on my Lg Optimus. In Chicago Area on sprint too. My one friend has verizon and has a cheeper lg smart phone and has the same problem. I think it is something with LG. I should have bought the Galaxy.

It has not been fixed yet, and I'm starting to believe it may never unless people start complaining more. I strongly encourage people to call sprint support often regarding this, if you would like to see it fixed. I have opened a couple cases with Sprint business support (corporate account here). If more people raise a stink, they have to do something!
Will do. Thanks for the quick reply:thumbup:
Btw.... You guys have one beast of a phone! Congrats:beer::thumbup:

Call issues on AT&T

Hey - I've had 2 different Desire Eyes and they both have had incoming call issues. I didn't get a call all weekend into my phone, but I got lot of people saying they tried calling 2 or 3 times and got nothing. Anyone else having this issue?
I don't have any issues with my Desire. Have you tried putting your SIM in a different device for a little while to see if the issue persists? It could be your provider.

I haven't tried that, though I have tried multiple sim cards from my current provider and the backup Nokia 521 I was using while the warrenty was being processed worked perfectly (well, the calls did... It has Windows 10 on it, so the rest was a bit glitchy, haha).
Anything else you can think of that I should try? I could get AT&T to unlock the phone (since I purchased it off contract) and try another carrier, but I'm not too interested in setting up another service just to test to see if it's the phone.

I do have exactly the same issue. I can make calls but cannot receive them. I've tried with both Skydragon v.2 and v.3 with stock kernel and with custom one v.004. I'm still investigating but so far not luck! Thanks.
Hey mstrblueskys, I had the same issue and after going to a long troubleshooting process with an AT&T representative, we figured out the issue. Hd voice service was causing this so they disabled it in my account and now I can receive calls without issues. How it helps you.
Thanks.

You have to call in. That's the only option.
I was having receiving call issue after installing stock Sense 7 Marshmallow. Problem solved after HD voice is disabled.

Periods of silence during calls

I searched and couldn't find anything similar...
My wife has a Vz M9 that she has had for about a month. On almost every call she makes there are periods of silence (lasting 1 - 3 seconds)- no audio to/from the phone. It's odd and I cant seem to figure out if signal is bombing out for a second. My M8 has no issues like this, I am sure I have a visit to Vz in my future, but figured I would check here first.
Thanks,

Is Advanced Calling enabled? I was having the same problem with a few seconds of silence; eventually I tried disabling Advanced Calling, which solved the issue for me. I have 4G much of the time in the house, but it will occasionally go down to 3G, and I'm guessing it's those moments that cause the trouble since Advanced Calling requires 4G. Hopefully it will get better over time. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's a little annoying to lose the ability for simultaneous voice and data.

Daylight savings

So this morning my phone advanced the time an hour.
Im on Verizon and have auto timezone checked..
The problem is I live in Phx. We dont do daylight savings. How can their network still be getting this wrong after so many years?
I know I can go manual time but then it doesnt change when I travel next week.
Any ideas?
Frustrated
Update.. after a prolinged usless chat with vzw, a restart got the time right. Why is this needed? My wife has same device and hers was fine.
I hopeni dont need to restart every time i cange cities when traveling next week
I used to live in AZ and had this happen to me once too. I live in Hawai'i now, and a couple times my phone's time went a little wonky. We don't change time here either.

This happened to me yesterday morning as well. Seems it happens every single time on every single phone I've ever had while on T-Mobile. Luckily I don't rely on phone alarms, like ever, and just go with my good old fashioned alarm clock. I've had the time screw up for me enough times, lol. Phone corrected itself by about 5 in the evening

We're you also logged onto your (or someone else's) WiFi?
The phone can/will pickup the time from the WiFi and if it's not setup for no DST that could have been the cause.... Or not.
