Time changing wrong ? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Can't identify why or when ... but sometimes am going to work 2 hours late or so because of this ....
can anyone help ?
btw when I go to date & time if I uncheck automatic time, It gets corrected then I can check it back
save me

permanently disable automatic time zone, and if u keep having issues, you could just disable automatic time. Won't really affect the phone any at all anyway

What rom are you using. I started having a similar problem with liquid smooth except my time correct itself after the screen stayed on awhile but after screen off and deep sleep time would be way off depending on how long the screen was off. I tried clicking off automatic update and it still happened. Would had me late yesterday had I not turned on TV for a weather report,Sorry I cant help but I can suggest you flash a new rom.

Yeah unfortunately that's why you should never rely on your phone as
An alarm especially when your putting custom ROMs on it

Clock time jumps

Does anyone have this problem? Sometimes the phone is right, I put the phone on sleep/lock, and occasionally the time will come back completely off. I was late to class once because of this, and almost missed a movie competely because it was off by one hour.
I installed syncrhotime, it helps fix the problem to the correct time but I'd like my phone to be synced straight from Tmobile's servers, and remove the ability to manually change the time. I don't see that option possible?
where did u get that syncrotime from? i have time problems also

Slow screen rotation..

Hey guys, on my nexus when im typing anything I turn it to landscape mode for the bigger keyboard and sometimes it takes ages for the screen to follow - sometimes it doesn't do it at all. Anyone else have this prob?
It is slow on purpose.

So that if you are in bed and turn sideways it doesn't just keep switching, and other similar situations.
No guys, I mean REALLY slow, as in 5-10 seconds. Sometimes I have to keep movin it around untill it turns. Today however its really playing up and not turning at all.. haha

I find that actually it's the exact opposite.
When I want it to rotate, I need to wait ages (sometimes tapping the screen while waiting makes it faster).
When I lie in bed, it very often rotates when I don't want it to, and then I wait ages for it to switch back to the previous mode.
That pretty much forces me to disable automatic rotation every time I am in the bed. Whatever they tried to achieve with this, either they failed completely or I am somehow mysteriously missing the point..

Mine has been staying, and being used to the HTC Desire spinning instantly it was a bit strange at first. As regards to the tapping, there are some modes where tapping is what rotates it and it wont until you do.
Same damn concern very annoying

I mean in applications like the stock Browser. I'm not 100% sure, but 99% that it rotates faster if I tap the screen as compared to just waiting.

it's not slow
it's the smooth transition animation (like windows IE)
you will need some 3rd party tweak to disable it

OP is talking about the screen taking awhile to finally rotate when he tilts the phone. He isn't talking about the phone not tilting at all.

[Q] Screen timeout not working?

I have stock (rooted then unrooted) JC with APEX launcher. It sounds crazy but my phone screen doesn't turn off by itself.
There are several times I woke up in the morning to find out my phone screen was on overnight (screen must have turned on when I plugged in the charger). Right now, I turned on my phone just to see if the screen would turn off at 1) lock screen 2) apex home screen. neither works.
I tried all these with different timeout settings (15 sec, 30 sec, 1min, etc.).
Anyone having the same problem? Anyone with solution?

Yes rebooting always solves the issue but can i get a permanent fix? It's kinda annoying. I'm on GT-N7100 JB4.1.2 and i've never rooted.
Kinda glad i wasnt the only one having this issue. Happened to me yesterday. Kinda freaked me out as i dont want anything wrong with this phone.. reboot worked for me yesterday.
On a side note.. every once in awhile my youtube app goes to **** and it refuses to play videos.. it says network error yet i can do everything else... reboot fixes that too.

Yeah no kidding. I really don't want anything to go wrong with my phone. But unfortunately it has been kinda buggy from day one. A minor issue with the stock keyboard was solved after the 4.1.2 update. But the weird error with the Quick Commands thingy ain't getting sorted out, even after the update. Of course, reboots also never help.
Oh someone please tell me what's wrong with my phone The screen timeout thingy ain't working An unattended message or missed call means my display stays on till I turn it off manually A reboot would solve the issue but then it would come back again. Any permanent fix? Please help I've never rooted my phone.

Uninstall any apps that keep your screen on or go through the apps list and kill everything individually. imediashare keeps my screen on after I'm done using it cause it still wants to stay running.

Went through the 124 apps that had WAKE_LOCK permission. (Used Permission Explorer). If I count out the recently installed apps before which the problem had originally started, I guess there aren't any suspicious apps. Oops Aren't there any apps that forces the display to go off? ^_^

I'm just throwing it out there by maybe go into recovery and fix permissions? Clear the cache? Factory reset if all else fails I guess.

Hi. Having the same problem... However, i believe it has to do with the feature that prevents screen from turning off if you are looking at it. Try to turn it off and on. Perhaps it will help.
If you continue to have problems, just disable that feature... it is a good adon, but having the screen turn off tose battery is more important.
Hope it helps.
Let us know if it worked out

[Q] Phone periodically showing wrong time.

Every now and then my phone shows the wrong time. I have to reset it and it fixes, but it has become a nuisance because it will do it in the middle of the night and my alarm goes off.
The phone is stock with the latest update.
I've searched google and the forums to no avail. Maybe I've been using the wrong search words. Any help will be much appreciated.

Did you checked Settings-Date and time-Automatic date and time? Just try to set the date and time by yourself not automatic.

I had this problem back when I first got the Note 2 on both my wife and I's phones.
All I can say is, I hope it's as simple as the previous poster mentioned in your case because I spent a month tinkering with settings, letting Sprint techs do some tinkering themselves, and completely wiping and upgrading the ROM on one phone to no avail.
Good luck!
In the end, one phone suddenly started keeping time for no apparent reason and a month later the other one did as well. Huge pain since the time shifts are unpredictable.

Anyone have an issue where you cant turn wifi on after awhile?

A restart fixes this but for 2 days I have woken up to a mobile data connection without being able to turn on wifi without restarting the phone...
Thanks

This question should have been posted in the Q&A section - I've moved it there. Please post in the correct sections - thank you.
I just got my phone replaced for some other issues and this one did this exact thing this morning. I really hope this isn't another defective device.
I am waiting for best buy to get in my replacement phone. My WiFi issue and random reboots are horrible. Why did you exchange your phone? What were the other issues?

Ah okay mine only did this once this morning. I'll see how it goes I guess.
If this happens to you again tonight you will need to replace it cause it has gotten worse over time for me.make sure you go to bed with WiFi on to test. Good luck
Besides the probable issue with your phone, try turning off/unchecking smart wifi option under advanced settings for wifi. Sometimes it's not that smart

It was weird. The toggle showed it was on but it wouldn't show any wireless networks where as I normally see about 10-12 networks. I doubt all my neighbors routers all died at the same time lol I blame it on sun spots
That's exactly how mine reacts every day.

Do you have att smart WiFi turned off or frozen? That's one think that was different from my other phone. I didn't have it frozen last time. I reactivated that app tonight to see.
I have it turned off. How do you freeze it if we are not rooted?

I was using the terms interchangeablely and prob shouldn't have lol .. It does kinda do the same as turning it off so. Oh well. I ment turn the app off.
