[Q] HOX Loosing the plot?

Hi all, heres the story:
At first, I thought I was loosing my mind, I kept checking my phone and the WiFi was always off, which is weird for me.
Anyway I turn it back on and go about my day, check half an hour later its off.
I was like "im sure I turned that back on" anyway same again half an hour later.
So I was watching it this dinner, and low and behold I watch both my WiFi and my network connections restart themselves like someone was switching them on and off, but the WiFi didn't re-connect and stayed off, wereas data re-connected ok.
It goes on ! I then realised that my phone was calling people by itself, which is also weird as theres no buttons to accidently press to call people? (ITS TOUCHSCREEN!!!)
Anyway, today I recieved a text off someone asking me why the heck I'd just sent them map co-ordinates.
So someone or my phone is sending people map co-ordinates....
The ONLY thing I can think of is Cerberus, could Cerberus be causing this?
Is this the phone telling me its on its way out?
Any solutions?
THANKS ALL !

You have kind of answered your own question. Just uninstall Cerberus and see if it fixes it.

Yay yet another completely useless response thanks but I said could it be Cerberus?
Does any1 else have a suggestion I could gain something from?
As stated before, I will try removing Cerberus but would like any information or suggestions please.

Malware? Maybe you installed an app that's malicious.
Hickory, Dickory, Dox...Snowflake approves of my HOX....

try and remember what apps you installed around the time this started to happen and work your way backwards

Thanks for all your reponses, thats the thing I'm really picky over apps, and havent really installed an app for months on my HOX, as I generally do everything on my N7 now.
UPDATE:
I un-installed Cerberus, cleared cache and tried to find any left behind data(wasnt any?)
Also deleted my device off the Cerberus app website
LOW AND BEHOLD THIS MORNING CONNECTIONS TURN OFF AND ON?!?!?!
What can be doing this? I only have apps from trusted Vendors such as Natwest, Vodaphone, couple of games, Tasker etc :/
Any ideas?

Can it be Tasker? It's supposed to automate tasks. Maybe there are some causing all this. Try freezing it.

I also thought it could be tasker, but Tasker has been setup for months and months, and not changed for atleast 2/3 months+
I checked tasker, and theres only 3 profiles, which have nothing to do with any connections.
They're profiles such as, plug headphones in and music player appears.
PS - Cannot freeze, stock and un-rooted.

My mate had similar issues with his SGS2. Upon examining the phone I discovered an app called Blackmart Alpha, I discovered it was a program which downloads cracked/patched apps. Did a hard reset of the phone and all was fixed, well not all, he was very pi$$ed with me for losing a heap of apps.

I know where your coming from mate, but this is not me.
I enjoy supporting the developers that make apps, and if that means buying a paid version of an app then so be it.
I don't download any dodgey things, all my downloads are through the play store.
Bah this is pickling me
Latest thing I downloaded was quadrant benchmark (week ago?)

Try hard reset then load your apps one at a time you will soon discover the culprit.

Nobody, not even myself, likes rebuilding systems from scratch. There are however benefits like having a clean system with no paranoia to name a few.

[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.

I toggled the automatic setting but have not set the time manually.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to set it manually and see what happens.

Watch didn't change time zones

It's my first time changing time zones with this watch. When I landed, my phone changed time zones accordingly, but my watch is still on the original time zone.
Any thoughts on how to correct this?

"Praise Jah" YOU people.!

Agreed. Turning the phone off then starting back up changed the time. I wonder if we will see an automatic time change without a reboot in a future release.

Ahh, research, Thanks for posting this question, wondered what happened lol. Had the same issue

Strange, just traveled trough a timezone myself, and the watch switched the timezone automatically...

I've found that opening the Android Wear app on the phone will force it to sync the time properly. It should still be automatic in my opinion, especially when the phone has been off our in airplane mode. When it first re-connects it should sync but it doesn't.

Used to work flawless through many months of trips, stopped working couple weeks ago.... Grrrr.... No idea why out what to do but resets and re syncing is not fixing

SOLVED: Stay connected when device sleeps (EVR-AL00)

PROBLEM SOLVED
Mate 20X (EVR-AL00; Build no. 9.0.0.136). I left my phone at home while downloading the new games via our Wi-Fi. But when I got back, I noticed that it has not downloaded any more data since I left it.
The culprit? The option Stay connected when device sleeps under the battery settings is DISABLED (neither ON nor OFF). Anyone else has this experience? What can be done about it?

TRY THIS:

@the_passerby5981 I figured it out, and boy your going to hate sending yours back, I was right, it is tied to something. I kept thkinking and kept coming back to this thread knowing you and I were missing something, and I found it from your screenshot and others, then tested it on mine and bingo. The reason its disabled is because it is tied to the SIM card. So that setting is tied to a sim card, and it didnt work on yours or mine because we were both testing it out without a SIM, and as soon as I put mine in to see if I was right, it enabled to turn on or off.

BUG FOUND! (Problem solved).
Android 8 had the option under WLAN and option to disable staying connected to WLAN and MOBILE as separate.
In Android 9, they are baked together under Battery. Thus, Stay awake when device sleeps gets DISABLED WHEN NO SIM IS INSERTED.

Moderators, please close the thread. I seem to not have enough privileges to do it myself.

Mine was checked on but a good one to know. Need a good week to really go thru the settings and get them set how you like. Like a maze with secret passages.

That's really strange have you ever restarted the phone since the new update. If that doesn't work you can try to reset all settings and see if that works there's no reason why yours is blocked and other people's aren't unless you have some kind of aggressive battery manager or something.

Resetting the settings did nothing. Gonna give a shot at resetting the phone. I didn't tinker with any other settings coz I wanted the phone to be up and running at once. It only happened that I hit a snag with this issue.
TAKE NOTE: My unit is running on a "China ROM".

same, able to change no problem

I tried last night to toggle thinks on and off to try to get mine to gray out. I couldn't. I tried again with HiCare but he needs some info for your phone. Give them a try. You need that option.

Just to clarify, you have the same phone and build number as mine, AND the same experience? Cannot toggle "Stay connected when device is asleep" ON/OFF?

Yes I have the same Phone and build number but I can toggle the "stay connected when device is asleep"tab on and off

1. So, there are about 5 users here with the same model number (EVR-AL00) and build number (9.0.0.136). Some can toggle "Stay connected while device sleeps", while--like me--hughey2k2 cannot. I cannot.
2. If it were a software problem, then all of us should have the same experience.
3. Does this point to, possibly, a hardware-related problem peculiar to the specific production batch? (Just to spell it out I mean, hughey2k2's phone were produced in the batch and there was a problem in production--possibly hardware--that could be the cause).
Comments?
EDIT: hughey2k2's unit does not have the same problem.

Phone locked out of after 10 minutes

Oh no! I got the phone - raced through the set up without settting up anything and only did face scan... I don't think I did a password. Then I set up the face recognition only.
Asked for software update - said ok..........
Now I am locked out of the phone. OMG
Any advice?
