It's so annoying that the time zone files on the Edge are outdated. Chile did away with daylight saving time before the phone came out but the time zone files are 2014g... I hate changing my time zone because it screws with my calendars.
Any way to fix this without rooting or changing your time zone? Will Samsung fix this problem if I bring it to a service center?

Are you saying that the automatic network synced time is incorrect?
In that case can't you just manually set your time under settings?
Not understanding your problem. The default clock has only one time zone and is provided by your carrier. If it's wrong, just manually set it yourself.
Manually setting your time loses the ability to keep your time accurate. That's why I don't do this.

Lol what? Have you never owned a clock? it doesn't set itself... Why would you think it would be inaccurate?

Android updates the time regularly or at least on each reboot if you have network updates set. Without it I've had bad experiences with the time not as accurate as I would prefer. I want that my clock is regularly updated to atomic time. I don't think you understand how android deals with time...

Ditto, good luck.
Guys, the problem is not that the time (UTC) is wrong. The problem is that Chile now has daylight savings (May 2016), but only announced this a month (or so) in advance. Therefore the timezones are wrong, making it so that the clock displays the incorrect time for the Chilean time zone. If you set the clock to another timezone (i.e. US East coast has the same time currently) then any meeting in the calendar set at the Chilean time zone is now one hour off.
Edit: I have the same problem but with my Oneplus One.

Hello all, I am not sure if any one has mantioned this or not. I looked thru the whole Atrix forum and could not find anything. I just got the Atrix about a week ago. I noticed that after using the data for couple of hours (Streaming music) it disconnects and I dont have access to data till I power off for a while and power on again. it is the same story every time I use data for 1 or 2 hours. replaced the phone once already including the SIM card and still the same thing. Any one having the same problem? Please reply. Thanks.
Am I in the right forum? If not, please forgive me, let me know and point me to the right direction? Thanks.
So you lose data completely? No h, e, 3g? Just bars? I had a similar issue on my captivate if I drove around listening to Pandora sometimes it would randomly stop playing till I went to the next song.

Well, I see the H+, but the little arrows (TX/RX) right underneath it disappear and I have no data connection and all this is happening while I'm in the same spot (In my room or at work at my desk). Also a window pops out saying Network Error. Also, I never see E or 3g. It is always H+ even when there is only 1 bar. Is that normal? Here is a picture of it. It just did it to me. Now i have no data connection unless I power down for a while. Here is another Pic. If you notice, there are no Arrows under H+.

It happens to me on data only without wifi on or off. I was just wondering if this was happening to anyone else. I guess no one used the data long enough to see this problem. It looks like this is a Motorola problem and I will have to return the device. Don't want to but don't want to keep a defective device.

Check your Battery Manager -> Battery mode setting. I think by default it's set to Nighttime sleep, which (in theory) shouldn't affect any music streaming or sync apps until night time, but it's possible that the profile is wonky. Try using the performance option or the custom (even though custom warns you of this very same issue).
This issue finally happened to me today.
I think it had to do with Extended Controls widget not correctly enabling/disabling the data apn.
In settings everything was right but I could not get the network even though it was showing the H+.

Hi. If you keep using the data nonstop, you will see that it will happen to you more often. I read some where in a forum that Motorola is having some kind of a power management problem on these devices (Atrix4G & Bionic) where it over heats and effects the RF radio and Motorola is denying it. I am not sure how much of it is true. I can not find that article.
Here. I fond it. Every one, read this.
http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...-suffering-unfixable-power-problems-20110126/
Hey all, Guess what I just found out. After talking to few AT&T tech support about the problem I am having with the device, they transferred me to Motorola tech support. Guess what they told me. The Motorola Atrix 4G is not a 3G device. It is only strictly 4G device. WOW. That sucks. I thought this was E, H & H+ device. That is not what I was told in the AT&T corp. store when I went to purchase it. I was told that it is a 3g/4G device and if there is no 4G network it will drop down to 3G. But I don't think that is the problem. The device is defective. Just now I power off and power back on and it is working fine so far and I don't think we have 4G network in my area.
Update: 03/11/2011 02:13PM PST PDT
Hello all. I am just doing an update. I went and replaced the device one more time (3rd device, 4th SIM card) and it is still the same. It keeps disconnecting from Data every 1 hour or so. I finally called Motorola tech support. The first level tech support could not help me, so he transferred me to second level tech support. The second level tech support told me that they are going to try it on their own devices that they have and call me back the next day. So they did. She called me back the next day and told me that they could not duplicate the problem (of course). So she said she is not going to let it go, she is going to sent it to the engineers to see if they can find out what the problem is and she is going to call me back on Monday 03/14/2011. If they still have no solution for this, I’m going to return the device and reverse my upgrade. It is just a shame that Motorola (being the first in communications) has to get beaten by other Competitors.
any update on the issue? im starting to have the same problem with my atrix.
Unfortunately, this seems to be happening to quite a few people. There's a longer thread on it here:

Nope. Even Motorola Level 2 & 3 Tech support could not resolve the problem. They wanted me to sent the device to them for more trouble shooting. I finally returned the device and reverse my upgrade. I suggest you do the same if haven't past the 30 days.

I set the time and one day after, it has unconfigured because it come one around 1.5 seconds
So in a few weeks the time is two minutes in advance
I can install ClockSync and sync all days but is a pain and also consumes the battery and storage
Any solution?

No, no miraculous solution has emerged from the time you have posted your OT questions on the franco ROM thread. ClockSync consumes power by running for 5-10 seconds every 6 hours at most, so... are you serious?
Maybe other people that were not at that moment on franco post, know another way to fix it
It is not normal that clock
so I ask it now maybe someone know how to solve
I hope the clock which you compare is not slow.

You cannot fix your hardware clock on your phone, exactly as you cannot fix the same on your motherboard in your PC. This is why things like NTP, NITZ etc. have been invented.
Well so I will have to use the app and sync every days...
thanks for the info, I had not got idea, so is better to ask experts. If you tell me I cant fix that hardware problem I belive it but, I am a bit angry because somehow I have a defective phone

On an normal PC the clock skew is about the same or even worse - unless you use NTP. Seriously, you just have unrealistic expectations when it comes to the HW clock precision of these consumer devices.
Sorry I dont understand that "acronyms" but I am really sure that the clock is not precise and is wrong. Is not normal that in a few hours the time has came one 1.5 seconds
Well, you will never be late for anything then?

Well, as said, it is perfectly normal for this class of devices. Your phone is not a Swiss watch.
Solutions have already been mentioned - either switch to a service provider that supports NITZ on their network, or use ClockSync or similar utility to sync the clock via NTP.
With this, whole thing can be pretty much concluded.
Ok dude, thanks for help everything solved, so I will use clocksync
That of NITZ, I supose that is the option which says "use values provided by the network"
sorry for inconvenience

All Verizon phones are getting that feature. You can go into Messaging settings and disable them.
Whenever one shows on the Rez, my wife gets one on her VZW features phone, and I also get one on my work phone (Sprint BlackBerry). Stupid!
They are the cellular equivalent of the Emergency Alert System that cable providers must deliver. Even the president could send an emergency alert.

I live in southern California where the weather is completely different if you travel more than 20 miles in each direction. Thunderstorms always hit a few miles west of me, while where I am we literally don't have weather, just hot and sunny every day. That's why I shut them off.

So if you don't have bad weather then I would asume you never get alerts so you disable it because... ?? makes no sense but ok..
Yup that's the CMAS thing. Annoying as heck, especially when you get them at like 4 in the morning -__- I was getting them constantly during Isaac, and on viperrez the emergency alerts menu is finicky so you have to open and close it a lot for anything to show up to disable it.

I was just giving you guys a hard time its all good. I like the feature. One night when having bad weather I got an alert of a tornado warning. Its pretty cool for those of use who have weather I just got up and turned on the TV to see what was up.
Oh I'm sure it's great if you actually get weather. I was getting severe thunderstorm watches every day for two weeks. It hasn't rained here in almost 4 months. Seriously, we literally don't get weather here, it's ridiculous... I miss snow.

Hey guys, just got my one a day ago and super impressed with this phone.
I have a question, my Google maps, weather clock, and other app are not able to get my location unless I turn on gps.
I'm not sure if it's that way for everyone or just a hardware fault? I have all the necessary options checked in settings, but I do notice that when I check "use Google location service" it does not prompt me with the agree dialog.
All that along with a few dead pixels do you think I should get a replacement? I'm still within my 14 days and have insurance through att.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
DEAD PIXELS = Yes. Replace it for that. I have a habit of turning on the phone in the store, load up a blank web page and tell the browser to go full screen. Through the white I can spot most dead pixels from the get-go. That way there will be no arguments, the rep is right on front of you! He can't deny a broken product when you have proof like that.
As for all the Google stuff, yes GPS signal is pretty much mandatory for most of the software you listed. However, GPS don't activate until you are actually in the app it self - so there is no need to worry about the GPS sucking up battery life. Just flick it on and leave it on!

Yes for the dead pixels.
No for the GPS. How do you expect the phone to find you without GPS turned on? aGPS(location off the cell towers) may not be accurate enough for those apps to register your location. You were prompted for the use Google Location Services permission back when you first set up the phone.

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'll start by giving some back story so you can see what I'm trying to do and why.
I work in car sales and one of the things the manufacturer requires us to do is log into their app 5 times a month. (the app is GM Dealer Sales Assistant). This isn't an app that remembers username and password and it's a pain in the butt to do this and I'm wondering if a tasker profile can be made that would log into this automatically for me so that I don't have to. I've messed around with tasker a little bit but I'm not very well versed in it. I appreciate any insight or other ideas on how to achieve this., thanks.
is that at least 5 times a month?
do you need to do anything within the app once it's open, or just literally open it and thats it?
Yes at least 5 times a month, more shinny hurt. It's unclear if anything needs done in the app, I usually do something in the app just to be on the safe side, by there's a way to track your progress and see if you've met the requirement before the end of the month.
