Help Date & Time issues when changing batteries! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

​Hello there.
Somebody please HELP!!
Okay I have a serious problem, I'm on CheckROM V6 and lately I'm facing this problem when I change batteries, I charge them on a wall charger the original one from SAMSUNG.
When I remove the battery and put a fully charged one the date and time changed to 2:00AM , Feb-1-2000 and the device becomes laggy plus I keep getting security warnings on every web page I go to.
The problem last 5-10 minutes and then the time and date return to the network preset, I tried to uncheck the network settings, changed modems, kernels, wiping everything possible and fixing permissions..
Nothing happened.​
Thank you in advance.

Reflash stock rom & see if you can reproduce the problem.
If you don't have the problem with stock, then it's a problem with the rom you're using. In that case, do a completely clean reinstall of the rom (do a factory reset first) & do not restore system apps & in particular do not restore system data. Ideally, you'd do a clean install of all your apps too.

Thanks, will try that.. But I did a full wipe and re-installed the same custom ROM I'm on and nothing changed!

I understand that. And the reason you need to test it out on stock is to see if it's a problem with that custom rom or possibly something else.

[Q] Systemtray not working

Hello,
I switched from WanamLite for Foxhound and I must say everything is working great. No more freezes, crashes and my geolocation ifnally is accurate again.
I followed all installation instructions, format /system, factory reset wipe cache and dalvik and installed.
The only problem Im having is that some of the systemtray icons arent working. The ones that are working is random. So im able to toggle GPS but not to toggel wifi, an hour later wifi is working but data is disabled. etc.
Anyone has any idea what this could be?
sometimes the package dosnt open fully so if ur facing prblm then its better to hav a fresh installation,,an also many will carry tb backup all the way frm stock to custom roms so even tht gives a prblm to many out here......cheeeeerz

I never restore anything else but applications when I'm switching roms, not systemdata whatsoever. Would it be possible to flash a different systemui instead of reinstalling the rom? Or could I just reinstall the rom without resetting the system all over again, spent hours to rebuild my settings etc ><
Why don't you redo the procedure once again, wipe cache then dalvik, format system then flash the package via recovery.
Errors could happen, so no harm if you try it again.
If not try the latest wanam 10.6 version it is almost perfect or you can always go back to a stock ROM and use Siyah kernels, I'm on XXLPQ with Siyah b6, very stable tremendous battery life. (you should test different kernels though and stick to the best)

For some reason I always have troubles with my geolocation and gps working very slow or not at all on different kernels then stock. Thats why I switched to foxhound. Ill redo the complete procedure tonight to see if it helps.
Thanks for the info so far.

[Q] P7510 (p4wifi) tab freezing all the time

Hi all,
Lately my tab is freezing at random moments. When opening gmail, youtube, browsing, settings, .. I can't use it longer than 5min or it will crash.
I'm running CM 10.1 nightly 20130118, Kernel 3.1.10-cyanogenmod (never upgraded this).
I have also tried older CM versions (CM 10, older CM10.1's, CM9) and AOKP -> same problem.
When I install a new rom I always wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache first.
I'm running CMW Recovery v6.0.2.7. Today I also installed a new bootloader (US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader) but still the same issue.
Any ideas? Is it possible to do a harder reset than I already do? Should I maybe install a kernel update?
Thanks!
either you are overclocking and not stable, keep installing back the same bad app which is wreaking havoc, restoring from an old TB backup which is not playing nice on current stuff, installing some hack/mod which is wreaking havoc, or you have a hardware issue.
odin back to stock ics (this will completly wipe the whole tab out) and observe for a few days.

Never overclocked so I'm afraid it's a HW issue.
Just installed stock ics and it still freezes after a few minutes (without installing any apps).
Guess I'm gonna try to put everything default again (I still have those 0/0/0 folders from JB) and return it to the shop..

Jeps... Sounds like a hw issue if it is still causing the crashes on stock, how long do you use your tab now? maybe it has nothing to do with time, but just want to know..

I have it for about 9 months now but never really used it alot. I think in total maybe 40-50hours (watching movies on holidays etc).
I did leave it on the table once while the sun was shining through the window so that might have overheated the tab a bit.. Not sure if the issues started right after that. I could still watch a movie on it etc, now it crashes after 5min max.

I have the same setup as you and my tablet starts to crash this week. Gmail won't stay for 2 mins
Try this!
You need to wipe it clean and make sure your 16G is not getting full. You can use any file manager ap to start your clean up, which is all you need if the hardware is not damaged. Ok, so go to root and remove any excess file you might have, this will eliminate memory issues. Next, reboot into recovery, hope you are rooted, then wipe everything including delvic. Install your ROM [INFAMOUS_2.2], the best I have tested, and reboot your system. If you can't do this you need to reinstall CWM, I use 5.5.1.7, and then reflash your rom. If this doesn't get you back in the clouds contact me.

Galaxy S2 crashes on battery mode

Hi All,
I have a weird problem. My galaxy S2 is getting crashed when I use some apps like,
sync up with GMail, play TempleRun game etc., suddenly screen goes blank, and nothing happens. And when I restart, it crashes again during booting.
But surprisingly this crashing is not happening when I do the same while connected to external power, i.e., when it is charging.
I thought it might be with ROM, so i've flashed different ROMs like, RootBox, CyanogenMod etc., but still it is getting crashed.
Even I changed Kernels also, Dorimanx, Siyah and even base kernel which comes with Cyanogenmod too.
So any body could help me out ?
I tried to get the log, but don't know how to check/get the log where I could see the crash file/app.
Regards,
Hereticnine.

When installing a ROM.
What is the procedure you follow?
It should be this:
1) Factory reset
2) Flash ROM (Rootbox stable version 4.2 for example, make sure you check the md5 sum to make sure it is not a corrupted file)
3) Flash GApps
3) Wipe cache
4) Wipe Dalvik cache
5) Boot device, leaving everything default (kernel etc.)
Then try if everything works without crashing.

Hi,
I did a clean install with full wipe. Still I'm facing this weird crashing problem.
And crash is not happening when I'm in charging mode i.e., when S2 is connected to power cable, its happening only when I use the mobile on battery.
Regards,
Hereticnine.
You are absolutely sure this happens on a clean, full wipe factory reset etc., install?
Because if it is, I'm afraid you are facing with a hardware issue.
The battery could be broken (age, water damage, bumps) somehow for example.
If it is hardware related, to me it seems to be a failing battery (although I'm not an expert).
You could try borrowing a battery from some1 and see if the problem still exists.
Last resort is really flashing stock ROM through ODIN, maybe this will fix the issue.
If this isn't the case you should probably bring it to a service depot for repair (also why you will need to have a stock ROM on your device).

i9300 sleep of death issue

I'm helping a friend with her S3 i9300. It was running very sluggishly and starting in the last couple months she's been having a sleep of death issue.
It works fine (albeit slowly) while she's using it but when it sleeps for more than 10 minutes it doesn't turn back on without a lot of trouble or a holding down the power button and hard resetting. Every once in a while it only boots if I go indirectly through download mode.
I've confirmed with the play store app that she does NOT have the "insane chip" involved in the SDS issue. I've also factory resetted, rooted, tried flashing a custom kernel, a custom TW ROM (S5 sensation) and now an AOSP ROM (resurrection remix) and the problem persists.
Looking at other users' suggestions I took it apart and cleaned/played with the power button, even replacing it with the one from my old t999. Still the same.
I'm at a loss at this point. Has anyone run into this issue and found a fix I'm missing? Thanks for the help.
Have you already tried to format system partition (sdcard 0) via recovery?
After that you MUST flash a ROM, cause there is no system installed.
So, try to do this and let me know.
Else you can try to do a MEGA/SUPER wipe.

Thanks for the reply. Before flashing any ROMs I've always made sure to do a factory reset and then individually wipe System, Data, Cache, and Davlik Cache even though I know I'm duplicating some of the wiping. Unfortunately that did not work in this case.
I'll give the MEGA/SUPER wipe a try and report back.
Thanks again.
Looks like MEGA wipe didn't do the trick either. The phone is on NA8; is there a newer baseband I can try? Not sure what else to try.
At this point I'm thinking it might just be a hardware issue.
Flash the latest stock firmware from sammobile then factory reset, remove sd card and sim then test with a different battery.
If still the same then it is a hardware fault, motherboard/cpu.

Wi-Fi starts up too slow, Galaxy S4

Hi guys ! Haven't found this thread anywhere so I had to ask.
When I installed a new Stock ROM everything was perfect, but as time went by, my wifi started to turn on slower and slower, now it takes him about 1 minute just to turn on. When I turn it on and go to Settings it just shows a blank page until the wifi turns on.
Please, DO NOT suggest:
1. Cache wiping
2. Safe mode and uninstalling previous apps
3. Wifi boosters
4. Advanced Wifi settings, special menu settings, turning of battery savings etc
Since I have tried all of those options
And yeah, everytime I reinstall a Stock ROM it works like a charm, but I don't have time to do it every 3-4 months just to make wifi fast as a lightning, as installing a new rom takes time and reinstalling all the apps makes me very nervous
Thanks for the answers, stay cool as always !
Other than using another kernel, not really sure what would help with that. I used to have an S4 and work on them often and hadn't seen that kind of thing before. Very odd behavior...

I really have no idea what could it be, I recently factory reseted the phone and Wi-Fi worked again like a charm...
If the problem was kernel, can you recommend me how to find the appropriate one for my ROM and can I add it to the phone through ODIN without resetting the device ?
Thanks for the answer !
Post a screenshot of the About Phone section showing the Build Number of the software. That'll help determine which kernel to try. You'll need a custom recovery such as TWRP to install the kernel. Kernel installs are done through the recovery and only require wiping of cache and dalvik cache, not a factory reset. It's recommended to perform a backup in recovery to be able to restore if the kernel doesn't work or has adverse effects.
Here it is...will have to look up about thie things you just wrote on how to do it, cause I am a 100% dumbass for this
