Changing the First Day of the Week - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using the default calendar, is there any way to add days to the setting of First Day of the Week? It gives only the choices of Sunday and Monday but my first day of my work week is actually Saturday. So I would like to have Saturday as the first day of the week. Anyone know if this can be added to the options and if so how? Also please don't just tell me to download another calendar app cause I know that's an option but I'd like to use the standard calendar. Thanks for your help in advance.

Well that sure doesn't sound like a good idea. Using a ROM extra meant for the Fascinate and from a different ROM since I'm currently running SyndicateROM 1.1. Just sounds like a crash or or potential bricking if I did it that way.

You can't brick your device by putting an APK in /system/app. That's absurd.

I've been using the Fascinate's apps off an one for a while. No problems. (Don't revert back because of problems, just install new roms that do/don't have it default, and sometimes I'm too lazy to flash the apk zips
Edit: Whatever calendar App ACS' SyndicateROM Frozen uses by default has a first day of week option. Pretty sure I didn't alter it.

Really, 250mb+ for the file of extras. Not even to 25% so I'm gonna let it do its thing while I crash for the night.

You could ruin a rom and have to reflash. No bricks though.

Fail! Got it downloaded, extracted, and installed this morning but it still only gives the choices of Sunday and Monday. Any other ideas or suggestions to have the first day of the week be Saturday?

No prob, I kinda like how under the monthly calendar that it shows what events are on that day. Using the stock Epic calendar I had to tap and open each date to see what was on the calendar for that day. So it didn't solve the what I needed it to but still had a good part.

I have ROOTED SGS2 and this is my big issue which only have SUNDAY and MONDAY as the FIRST DAY OF WEEK. what I did.... I copied the file com.android.calendar_preferences to my SD from the location data/data/com.android.calendar/shared_prefs/ using ROOT EXPLORER and modify the area in RED in my PC.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<string name="preferences_first_day_of_week">7</string>
....<string name="preferences_alerts_vibrateWhen">silent</string>
....
....
....
originally it was 1 and I change to 7 which correspond to SATURDAY as my first day of the week and copied back to the same location and now my FIRST DAY OF WEEK is SATURDAY though if you go to setting of the calenday FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK shows only MONDAY and SUNDAY which of course non of which are selected.

[Q] Modern Combat 3 problem/bugs/glitch?

Recently I've been playing Modern Combat 3 and Im addicted to it.
But I'm facing one problem/bug/glitch, it's that sometimes, either I'm playing multiplayer or campaign, in the middle of that mission/game. I can't reload/throw grenade/swap weapons. And after my ammo went out, it won't auto reload and when I aim down my sights the player vibrates. Anyone facing this problem or solution?
EDIT : Sorry if this question was asked.
I have that too. It gets unstuck if you jump over a object. Thats the only way I found to get past this glitch...

I'll have it a try.. I'm stuck in mission 11 where you need to take out that 2 tanks.
Well i get something strange too : sometimes, and tbh, i guess if theres really alot of **** going on screen, my movement doesnt work anymore ^^ hes just running forward and my touchpad doesnt recognize anything. Same with the right tp : just cant look. Is there anything wrong with the kernel, cause i recognized when not using the full 2.0 ghz (doomlord) it happens less.its Still hapening but not that often then.card is sandisk 16gb cls 4. Vr on performance with (usually when gaming) 1.4 to 1.6 ghz. No taskkiller or something.

I finally got it I did what they said above. There is a crate at the wall of the corner were you turn to the tanks. You can jump over this crate. So I tried to get the rocket launcher and the bug happened so I double backed to the crate and jumped over it and it cleared the bug.
Went back to get the launcher and the bug happened again so I went back and jumped the crate again .
I did this process about three times and then finally it let me pick up the launcher.
I can finally finish this game now

[Q] Google Maps Question

Wether you're on Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread or ICS.
Have you guys noticed how Google Maps on Android tends to "jump" to your current location when you're driving around, whilist iPhone users have a smooth moving gps point indicator? I've noticed out location indicator is smooth when you use "navigation" and it seems to be tied down to signal aside from obviously a gps lock.
I wish there was a modded Google Maps that has our location indicator "fluidly moving" on maps while we're moving like the iphone. Thoughts, comments, post away.

Yes I Noticed that right away when I got my epic.
Sent from the Drivers Seat of my Suby txting and Driving doing 100MPH+ in a school zone! Ha.
I have noticed it before, but I haven't noticed it anytime the last dozen or so times I've used it. Maybe I've missed it, or maybe it's actually getting better?
I think noticed on my last Android but I hardly ever use good maps because I have a older Garmin nuvi that works pretty good.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I have even had the same trouble when using navigation. Mostly just recently, and when traveling in new areas. I just figured it was happening because the maps data wasn't cached and there was some delay in retrieving it.
Further, when I switch on 4g while using navigation my whole phone freezes and requires a battery pull to get back on track. Terrible.

Mj, go into ur google maps app, and see if u can clear the data or uninstall the update , power off ur phone, then turn it back on and reinstall the update.

Have u tried updating ur prl and rebooting ur phone?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Keep in mind, google maps mostly works off of "network position". So if u don't update ur prl every now and then, ur position locking proximity will and could be off.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I always keep my prl up to date. I switch to 01115 though so I don't think that's the issue. No matter how well your reception is, it seems (so far) that google maps indicator will always be jumpy.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
We'll, google is always working on improving they're products
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
It is because Maps caches the map and has to download the next section and that causes the stop and go of the flow. Telenav seems to have a better cache system and does not display this.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Just an update
I've noticed, that since Beta 1, while having the latest version of Google Apps flashed, it is MUCH smoother on MAPS! that's totally a first for me, I've always seen it jumpy, and smooth only when using Google Navigation! It's these little unimportant things i pay attention to, which I wouldn't even noticed if iPhone's version of Google Maps wasn't so smooth.. Just wanted to keep you guys who cared to post up to date. ;D

Go to settings and the date and time and uncheck the automatic time zone and date then set them to where they need to be then recheck the auto boxes should be fine after that

After you got it working, did you reboot and is it still fixed? Because im having a similar problem BUT i think its Root Call Blocker that messes it up after every reboot.

After reboot I have to do it all over again.
No matter what is done, time zones keep getting screwed on reboot. I think the problem is that the checkbox "get timezone from blah" is not getting stored in the database (or wherever it should be stored), just the session.
I'll look into this, and report back. No promises...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks. Maybe we shouldn't reboot !
The value in the db is okay. Something is modifying this on boot. If you watch closely, the phone boots and time is okay. And then the timezone reverts to zero and so does the time.
I'll keep investigating... Happy Father's Day.

Hi there,
I am from PR experiencing the same issue with timezone since upgrade to ICS 4.0.3.
Where can I obtain the Titanium Backup?
What apps do I have to kill in order to avoid modifying the time\date after restart?
I am really happy to see your post with a resolution to this lame issue.

Hi, I have somewhat a similar issue as everyone else on this thread. If I use the Automatic TimeZone, it resets the Time Zone to +00:00. I have tried what ejcortes says, but I still get the same issue. All this started once ICS was updated at the store. Any clues?
I had the same issue since the update of ICS. Tmobile have a new update for ICS and that fix it. Check out the support site in Tmobile site for the update.

Was playing on my S3 and having this problem. Suddenly I'm a horrible driver because oncoming traffic doesn't appear until they're almost on top of me. There is a draw distance setting, but I turned it to full, and it didn't change it.
I don't recall ever having this issue with GTA 3.

I called them 2 times today went through every step and after the first call I wound up wiping my phone and flashing a ROM, I called them again after that and this time they told me they're having issues with mms in my area. I guess the first time they didn't realize it. If it's not working in 3 days guess I'm calling them back.
