I have a AT&T S3 running on straight talk, with the Baked Rom installed. Everything was working fine until today until after I had rebooted it it says that its November 26, 1970 and the clock is running about 30 mins fast. If I receive a text message it shows that it arrived today (July 17, 2013), instead of showing that it arrived in the '70s like the phones calendar thinks it is. I've tried numerous reboots and toggling airplane mode etc, as well as searching the internet but nothing works and I can't find anyone else who's had the same problem. I'd really like to fix the problem as I'm also not able to send texts anymore and my phone thinking its 1970 is just plain annoying.
Did u try to fix it under Settings, Date and time ??

Had the long awaited message pop up on my HD7 and Zune last night about the new update.
Proceeded to update on Zune then had an error message come up saying not enough space on my C drive on PC, needed MB but cleared 6GB. Restarted phone & PC but wouldn't continue.
Downloaded a fresh copy of Zune to another PC thats never had it. Ran it, found the update then Zune wanted to update itself after only downloading a new copy minutes ago.
Fine, started the update - 10 steps.
Got stuck on step 6 (i think, was phone reboot) and had message on phone saying connect to PC but was already connected.
OK, unplugged phone and started the whole process again. I have used around MB of space on phone so backup took some time.
Worked well through all steps, about 1+ hour.
Restarted phone, looked OK briefly but was very VERY slow and apps wouldn't open. Ages to go from one screen to another.
Got really frustrated as tiles weren't working either. Total [email protected] up.
Tried soft resets, no joy.
2am in the morning and need phone for work the next day.
SIM & battery out, no good.
Then, I noticed it had changed the time / date to 1980 (all my contacts / emails / content was all intact after update and didn't need to restore from backup).
Changed date manually to todays date and autodate didn't work.
Restarted phone and hey presto, all works fine now.
- Cut & Paste OK.
- Haven't noticed any speed improvements
- Feature on calendar - click on appointment and there is a button called LATE. Give you the option to SMS / Email organiser or attendees if you are running late. Nice touch.
- Changes in wi-fi
Anyone came across the above or any new features?

Yeah, I had that weird time and date problem, it seemed to push my date a week forward and set the time completely wrong. I also had to set these manually to fix it. Not sure why this happened but now some of my texts are out of order after sending and receiving a few message before noticing the wrong date, really annoying. But it is only a small problem so I suppose its not too bad.
I had the same issue when I applied the update via the Hungarian PPTP thing. Today I tried to do a rollback which sadly ****ed up my entire device. So I had to flash a stock ROM. After that was completed, I immediately recieved the update messages for february and march. Date worked fine and even the gradient issue was gone.
Hi everyone,
I am running CM10 Alpha4 on my HTC One X and I have the following problem:
When I receive an SMS, a notification shows up which is fine, but the received message (and other new messages as well) shows as read instead of unread. :crying:
Can anybody help?
Thanks
SMS problem update
I have noticed another thing that might be related to the problem: today was Aug 14th and all threads of all messages that arrived today were showing as Aug 13! Then, one message came that was displayed as 4:30, which means today !?
Here are the things I have tried:
1. I checked Date/Time, it is ok.
2. I deleted all messages and tried to send myself just one message, same problem
3. I deleted all messages and restored them with Backup/Restore, same problem
I noticed another thing: when I receive one or more messages, the notification shows up, which is ok, but when I open messages app, besides the original problem, the fact that no messages are displayed as read, the notifications disappear instantly. It is as if the messaging app "reads" all messages, or this is just normal behavior, I don't know.
Does anyone else have this problem, please help!
Also, is this the right place to post this kind of problem? Can anyone direct me to some better place, because no one seems to have interest for this question here
Are your timezone and time correct?

Yes, I have tried both automatic and manual settings, both with same result
It's weird, all I can suggest is that perhaps your phone thinks it used to be in the future and you'll have to get past that date before it will stop thinking that everything has been seen (hopefully less than 24 hours).

YES!! I think you are right, the messages suddenly started appearing as unread!
This happened all by itself, I didn't change anything since the last time it didn't work.
Although, I don't recall doing anything "weird" with date and time settings.
Maybe Titanium restore screwed something up, I don't know.
Anyway, it works (for) now .
Thank you very much for showing interest in my problem and for your suggestions!
Cheers!
Awesome.
So ive had my S3 since the beginning of November and have had no problems. Around the beginning of December I did an OTA update to Jelly Bean and everything was working great. Christmas morning comes around and i was recieving notifcations through all my apps like normal, but starting in the afternoon notifications stopped from such apps as Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat..etc. I checked setttings and all notifications are turned on for each individual app, i went under accounts and sync is turned on. Went into the individual app and checked settings, logged out and back into them. Went as far as to uninstall everything and reinstall the apps but still no notifications are coming through. Ive turned off and restarted the phone. Its becoming a real pain now having to continiously check all my apps to see if ive recieved anything.
I did a google search and found a site where someone else was having the same problem but there were never any resolutions. Has anyone else here come across this problem and know how to resolve it? am i really going to have to reinstall the OS to fix? it seems odd that my text and kik are the only ones that still recieve push notifications. Please let me know, its driving me crazy!
Twitter has done this for me every upgrade for months. I can correct it by going to settings, click my account then notifications, change something, hit back, wait for the toast to say it was saved then change it back.
Facebook used to be similar, but on the new more native app I have yet to get the notifications to work completely att the time for replies and a few other things.

Hey guys,
A few weeks ago my Verizon Samsung Note 4 received an OTA update - nothing major, I believe it just added some security patches and removed some bloatware. But since then, my gmail app has not been syncing properly.
The sync is definitely still ON, because it does sync sometimes but it's very sporadic. But it's not syncing as soon as emails come in, and often it will take a couple hours for new emails to show up (which I can see if I'm home near my computer). Some mornings I'll wake up and my emails from overnight will be there, and some mornings, nothing will have synced from overnight.
And as far as I can tell, there's nothing specific that finally prompts it to sync (in other words, turning my phone on, or simply opening gmail doesn't make it sync. It just seems to be totally random).
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!!
Dude I though it was me.. I been having the same problem. Anyone else having this problem and figured it out?
Same
I got the 5.1.1 update 8 days ago and exact same issue. I've been through 3 factory resets both using previous backups and starting fresh. Also used troubleshooting fixes from other posts... clearing data, clearing cache, turn sync off/on, removed/added Google account, etc. Nothing so far
Same issue here...
Strange. I've also taken the update (actually, if memory serves, there were 2 updates within a couple of weeks) and aren't experiencing the problems you all are seeing. I know, that doesn't help you any.
Hmm, well it does help to hear from others that are having the same problem, so at least I'm not driving myself crazy trying things that won't fix it! Thanks for the replies.
And of course, if anyone has any solutions, I'd still love to hear from you too . . .
I know this also is not much help, but I've sent an email to the Dev but no reply yet...
Same here in note 3 and since updating gmail app my gear 2 no longer gets notications from gmail even when gmail DOES show up on phone notifications.
Leave it to Verizon to screw everything up after finally making some big progress with the first 5.1 update. That update fixed SO MANY issues I was having with the phone. I was ready to switch to a new one, but the update made me want to keep it. Then I wake up to see this latest 2nd update was installed without it asking me, and now I am having major issues with things like Gmail not syncing, but also answering a phone call is horrendously bugged. I will have to swipe the green answer button like 8 times before it actually picks up the freaking call. My wifi will randomly stop sending and receiving any packets and my signal will just drop out completely, airplane mode doesn't fix it and it requires a hard reset. Like holy hell Verizon, what the actual freak do you guys do to your phones...
Anyone else have calendar events not showing up? I have an event scheduled everyday that isnt showing a notification. I’ve looked at the usual stuff, notifications are on for calendar, etc....I have an iPad that’s also connected to the same gooogle calendar and they come through fine on it everyday. Anyone have any insight?
Is there an alert added to the calender entry? Like 10 minutes before?
Thanks for replying. There is an alert set,...it was for 10 minutes before, that didn’t work so I changed it to at the time of event, and that didn’t work. I read somewhere that it was because of the last update, so I uninstalled the update and it worked this morning. I’m going to give it a few more days to see if it still works and if so I know a calendar update came out yesterday so I’ll update to that and hopefully I won’t have to worry about it anymore.

I used to have problems with my calendar not firing alerts or just firing late on previous phones. Then I found an app on GPS called Events Notifier For Calendar (by RYO Software.) There is an XDA thread somewhere about it. I've been using it on my last three phones including this one and I feel it is indispensable! (As for the GPS rating, my guess is user error for most of people's complaints.) But it has never failed me and the developer is extremely helpful. It's probably one of the first 5 apps I now install on every new phone.
