Date discrepancy - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Totally baffled by what my phone is doing to me.
The dates shown are completely different. There is a 1 day discrepancy. It also happens in my SPlanner where Facebook synced birthdays show up one day earlier even though my clock settings are all fine.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I've noticed this with some of my dates on my Epic, but never could figure it out. After flashing a different Rom, I haven't noticed the issue repeating itself.
Epic4GT with different ROMs every few days. Thanks Devs!

It happened on ARHD and stock for me.
Leads me to believe it's not the ROM's fault.
Any other ideas?

sometimes it happens with with "network set automatic time" sync..try disabling it in the date and time settings..

Calendar tab in Sense 2.5

Has anyone done/seen anything to speed up the Calendar tab in Sense 2.5 ?
Ever since I've used it, even in Sense 2.1, it's very very slow in bringing up everything, e.g. in "Agenda" view. The problem appears to be recurring appointments, of which I have several (not loads, typically it might have four or five to show for a week), since unique appointments show straight away. These appointments have been sync'd from Outlook 2007.
It's Sense that's the problem, since if I go into the WM Calendar application, and select, say, week view, it displays them instantly.
I tried a search but only found someone else describing the same thing, from approximately 1 year ago, with no resolution.
I just went to the Calendar tab and up popped my agenda view instantly, including three reoccuring appointments this week. I also sync with OL07, and have beaucoup appointments (all past and plenty of future appointments, with about 2 dozen reoccuring appoiintments at any given time).
Sorry I can't reproduce your problem. Does that make things better or worse? ;-)
Hmm, that seems especially strange since you're using virtually an identical ROM to me ! And I've had this problem basically forever.
Hmm, I'm going to have to experiment, I think. How much of your past appointments have you got set to sync from your PC ?
I had the exact same issue when using the 2.07 ROM (I flashed back to the 1.86 in the meantime). The Agenda/Week tab would immediately show all 'single' appointments, and 5 seconds later the reoccurring ones.
I obviously can't test right now, but it could have something to do with either the date of the first occurrence of the reoccurring appoinment (how far back is it?), or with the number of exceptions in the reoccurrence.
It did help to only sync the past couple of weeks.
Yep, that's the sort of problem I get. I just tried changing my settings to sync only the last 2 weeks, but no difference unfortunately.
I wonder if it does have something to do with those two factors you mention though.
I do have exactly the same problem in my Topaz (Rom 2.53.412.3 ESN): the calendar tab shows the recurring appointments with a 5 sec. delay. No idea about how to fix it.
Yup, I've got the same problem on Simplicity 23673 Sense 2012. I've ended up switching off the tab and putting shortcut to Calendar on quicklinks !!

[Q] Email probs on stock GS3 after 4.1.2 upgrade

Greetngs. Manually loaded the zip the other day for 4.1.2 on my completely stock Sprint GS3. Other than the normal "holy crap" battery consumption for the first couple of cycles and the fact that I could cook a grilled cheese sandwich on it, everything's been OK except for these two problems:
1. This was the easy one. AVG AntiVirus Pro didn't like something on the update and it was stuck WFO and draining the battery in about an hour. Interestingly simply looking for running apps in the stock applications area didn't show anything. System Panel did. I deleted the AVG, reloaded it and all is well.
2. This one's not resolved. I've Googled as well as searched XDA and can't find an answer. Short version is that regardless of what my mail settings say, it's not going out for a sync to my Gmail accounts, nor AOL (I know....) and my Exchange account isn't getting "pushes" either. I've gone through the global mail settings as well as those for each account. All set to push if possible or 15 min if not. Everything is "prime" so it's not some goofy issue with being outside of prime or roaming. Roaming has all the same settings.
I can manually hit a refresh and it works fine, but it's obviously not supposed to work that way (at least it never has).
Any thoughts? Oh...and I've done a battery pull...haven't done a hard reset but I doubt that's an answer for this.
Thanks for your help.

Aha! It seems as though the update turned off the "global" sync (on the scrolling drop down tool bar at the top of the screen). That said, it also defaulted all my sync options to "disabled".
Better now!
PLEASE REACH ME VIA EMAIL AT [email protected] AS OPPOSED TO PM. THANKS.

Samsung Account Sync Issues

Hello. I just switched from Sprint to AT&T and I must say I love it. The only issues I am having is my Samsung account wont sync and Svoice wont sign into twitter. The Svoice issue is most likely non fixable. The samsung sync issue is aggravating. I have removed the account and even created a new one and it still wont sync. Anyone know of a fix or anyone having this issue. Right now it happens on both my wife and mines sgs3. Thanks for any feedback.
Well based on what I found the SVoice issue is due to Twitter and SVoice no longer being compatible. The Samsung account sync issue is still a issue though. Haven't been able to find anything on it. Becoming to think its an issue with the stock rom
I know back when I used to use GoContacts, I was having sync issues because I was doing my contact adding/deleting thru GoContacts instead of the regular People app. I had a fun time backing my contacts up to a file, deleting all my contacts in my Google account from a pc, then importing from the file. Mind you I was having sync issues with only my contacts, nothing else.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
yeah sometimes my emails from google are late
Yeah. This is with everything under the Samsung account. Currently I'm on an unrooted stock ROM and everything except for my Samsung account syncs just fine. But nothing under my Samsung account will sync
I'm having a hell of a time getting and answers from Samsung. Can someone running the stock firmware check and see if their Samsung account will sync. It's OK if it's a firmware issue. But I can't even get that from them.

im running stock, simplemobile carrier.. mine only syncs a few days... last sync was 3/4 2:53pm cant sync since then,.. sucks.. syncs sometimes,
I'm having a similar issue. I noticed this as soon as I updated to omega rom. I am with Bell. I am wondering if the reason for this is these custom ROMs are for S4's with a model number of i9505 but in Canada and AT&T the model number is SGH-I337? Does anyone know if the sync matches serial numbers to model numbers?
Other services such as Samsung's find my phone can see my phone even though it has a model num of i9505 now.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Stock Email and GPS issues

I'm having a few issues with my Note and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.
When I get a new email, tapping on the notificatin takes me to the email client, where it just sits there at a blank screen and acts like it's loading. This is pretty consistent (and annoying). The email never shows until I back out of the client and go back in.
My email is an Exchange Live account. It has been having some issues sending for the last few days. Emails get stuck and fail to send from the client. This could be an issue with Live mail, but I'm not having any issues on my other phones that are configured with it.
GPS - The Note 3 left a bad taste in my mouth with respect to GPS. It had trouble getting and holding a fix. I was hoping that was fixed with the Note 4. Last night, I went for a walk and I always use Runtastic to track my walks. I walked 4 miles and for the first half, it didn't get a solid GPS fix (blinking icon). I toggled GPS off and on and got the "google consent" screen and it locked immediately after. Not sure if it was a one time thing or what. So, is anyone else having GPS issues?
Thanks. Just trying to figure out if this is something specific to my configuration, or just bugs.
1. this used to happen on my galaxy s2 somewhat frequently, but I have yet to have this happen to me on my note 4..
2. also using exchange, have 4 accounts on separate exchange servers, no issues
3. I had the same experience, opened up maps, and for some reason the location popup didn't popup. after answering the popup I have had no issues, gps usually gets a fix and stays fixed within 5-10 seconds max, even indoors

Okay, great (on the gps thing). I was dreading a repeat of the Note 3, but I haven't had any further issues on that front since the popup. Thanks!

Note 10 Plus (T-Mobile) - Samsung Messages Stutter

Here is a video of a strange stutter that is occurring on my Note 10.
https://youtu.be/y_fiNaLQ7dQ
To be honest this same thing happened on the Note 9 on one of the firmware.
I was able to stop it from happening by not updating. I never found a real resolution.
Is this happening to anyone else?
It seems to happen only when sending an regular SMS to a non T-Mobile customer.
It can be tested by just texting a random 800 number or someone you know does not have T-Mobile.
I have a factory reset. Tried different versions of the N975U firmware. As soon as RCS is enabled and used this happens.
If you have the T-Mobile Note 10 plus ; Is this happening to you?
OCD much? I believe the easiest solution would be to just ignore it and accept that that's just part of how the program works with the updated version of Samsung messages.
My T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 10 plus does the same exact thing. So did my Note 8 and so did my S8.

Its pretty Janky. Also again I have a Note 9 currently on the last version of Oreo that does not do it.
What's interesting about this note 9 oreo version is the fact that also all my contacts that are on T-Mobile and have RCS phones show with a blue dot next to their name and the text messages are in a different shade of blue.
It's clearly a glitch when the messages app switches to SMS or something similar. Perhaps OCD but it's still pretty annoying when typing quickly in a conversation.
Plus when I know it's not supposed to be like that and has seen RCS function without this happening it makes me want to figure out how to fix it.

I do not disagree that it is annoying. I am also OCD. Diagnosed and all. It used to drive me crazy just the same as it does to you but after a while, and several phones, I just accepted that it is how the program works. I have never been able to find a fix no matter how much I looked. I just gave up.
I just always thought this was an android thing. That’s happened on my last 4 android devices. It’s happens on iOS also. You can hear the sound when it sends, it just doesn’t show visually like android.
