I had this happen before day light savings on the same Rom. I think its something to do with the date time settings minds kept changing to different states and places around the world. I ended up grabbing a world clock apk from another Rom, I think fresh, and all was good.

Weird Vibrations

I have a weird problem with my phone. Every so often, my phone wjll vibrate twice, in two really short bursts that arent powerful at all. It is completely random. And whenever im playing music, it will stop the music for 5 seconds. If anyone knows what this is it would be greatly appreciated because this is happening on my new phone, as well as my last two galaxy s 2's (ive gotten 3 replacements)

I think this happens to me too, may just be my head, but I really do believe.

Do you get a notification?

What apps do you have that give off frequent notification? Do you have facebook, friendcaster, word w/f, etc.? Can you give us a small run down?
you can also download betterbatterystats (free here on XDA) and look at what frequently runs perhaps it appears as a wakelock.
or you can always look at logcat

It's a kernel crash. It's a part of android. It usually happens to let you know that it crashed but android reloads where it last left off. Hence the reason for the gap in music. If you press home immediately after you will catch it trying to finish reloading.

Is there anyway to fix it? Cause i happens like once every 10minutes

Try running master's kernel cleanser and reinstalling the kernel, that's a place to start

You will have to root first... Unless someone with more experience chimes in with a different idea

Is the same app running every time it happens? It may be a 3rd party app that isn't completely compatible running on your phone. Try deleting any third party widgeta.. then going into your task manager and clearing your memory. Then add one widget at at time til it starts doing it. If it doesn't do it, then open one of your e eryday apps at a time till you have the vibrating again. You may find some crappy lil app that you installed is causing all the problems.

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

Already try it and didn't work out.

I got it working now Thank you very much!

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.

I have the same problem

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...

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.

[FIXED] Use Titanium Backup to disable the 3 pink system manager apps, and we're ready to go. No more f'ed up time zone.

HELP!
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.

Screen not timing out

So I noticed this a few days ago. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds. It will work for a while and then it will no longer time out. If i reboot the phone everything goes back to working order. Ive tried this with and without smart stay on and got the same results. I do not have any applications installed that would cause the screen not to time out, plus it works from time to time. Any ideas as to why it may be doing this?

This has been happening to me lately too... Don't really know what could it be.

Yes I'd also like to know as it is a bit annoying and killing my battery if I dont catch it!

This used to happen to me too. I even returned phone and it started happening again. This seems to be a bug. I flashed a new rom and it never happened again

Weather auto refresh works 5% of the time.

My built in weather widget is supposed to update every 1 hr. However it rarely ever does that. Most of the time I have to manually update the weather. It's getting extremely annoying. My phone is full stock. What can I do?

I can't be the only one

same for me too. plus sometimes when i update it manually, it doesnt update. i have to enable gps + wifi for it to update. :/

GPS, WIFI, and Mobile Data are always enabled on my phone, but more often than not I have to keep manually updating the weather which sucks! Any solutions ?

Having a similar issue. I haven't checked thoroughly enough but I think it doesn't update when I'm indoors.. don't really care for weather so I don't notice it too much, but when I'm outside it seems to update normally.

for me..i dont really check it when am outside. but when am home and i use my phone. i see it not updating and it irritates me

Does it indoors and outdoors

It happens to me too.. I'm using the lock screen with weather display as the sign.. in my experience, it updates only when the screen is on, or at least if your phone's using data...
i put on weather refresh every 1 hour, at exactly X:00 minute, but it deviates from hour to hour, sometimes the minutes became 02, 04, etc. sometimes it doesn't even update for a couple of hours, usually when its on standby.. sucks

I put it to hourly updates and it seems like the weather refreshes on screen on. It updated at 7 when my alarm went off and at 8.12 which is the next time I turned the screen on after the supposed update time..

I would be very happy if mine did that (which it does rarely). Most of the time it wont update until I manually update it. Even changing the frequency from hourly to 12hours and then back to hourly doesn't make it update regularly.

Another update. It seems updating becomes a bit of a hit and miss if you activate lock screen weather. Everything was fine until I activated that and it's not updating again. Not a solution but maybe it'll help some people
