hi there
i wanted to know what is the real reason for we have to use an app such as clocksync (great by the way).
for instance, my old 10 years nokia doesn't need "resync" and keeps the right timing while my smartphone now needs to have the time corrected otherwise it will drift away plenty of minutes.
and also, in order to sync with clock sync, i need a data connection, but if i travel overseas and i keep my data roaming disabled, i will never be able to do that, correct?
thanks

Who says you have to use the app? I use it mainly on my touchpad because the clock gets reset sometimes and the market doesn't work because of it, unless this happens on your phone you don't need to use it. Yes you need a data connection for it, or wifi.
It is hardly ever really out on time but I like to be precise so even since the days of WM have used applications similar to clock sync and clock sync therefore is essential to me...

I'm ClockSync developer, your question is answered in the application FAQ:
Q: Why would I need ClockSync, Android already has Automatic setting for Date & time?
Not all the mobile operators support automatic time synchronization mechanism called Network Identity and Time Zone (NITZ), therefore this setting may have no effect at all. Even if your provider supports NITZ, the information it sends may be inaccurate. There are also devices without SIM card, especially tablets that have no access to the network time. If Android Automatic mode works fine for you, then you are lucky and probably don't need ClockSync, otherwise it's recommended to disable it to avoid conflicts and getting incorrect time, see also a question about wrong time after synchronization below.
Hi everyone - I actually don't know who else to ask but this issue has been driving me mental for the last couple of months. After days and nights of investigating and looking through various forums and articles, I think I can find (or try at least) the words to describe my problem more...technically))
So OK, first off the device is Huawei Ascend G510-0100 running KitKat under the Cyanogenmod platform but the issue was already present with the factory's 4.1 ROM. I thought rooting the phone, installing just brand-new everything and having a bloatware/clutter-free Android OS would rectify all the causes of this nightmare but no. I'm not the only one with this problem: Google-search the issue and you'll find numerous forum threads where users seek for a solution to this "software loophole" as well as one of my friends (Galaxy S2) and another one with the HTC One X+ so I rule out my phone's model, OS version or just my device being faulty from the list of potential causes.
So - every time I turn my WiFi off on purpose or when I go out of my house (where logically my phone looses home's wireless signal) - the location services and the app synchronization processes stumble, mess up, run into and furthermore cause internal system mess-ups from such "unexpected" losts of internet. After that I can't make a phone call, send SMS or run USSD codes (checking credit balance etc) but I can still receive calls and texts - basically I fail to reach my cellular services but the service can still reach me. Turning Airplane Mode on and then off or simply restarting the phone altogether temporary fixes the cellular problem until the next time the internet becomes unreachable to Play Services. I tried turning location and sync off, tried different location/sync options...I wish I could disable Play Services but then I wouldn't be able to use the Play Store - | tried messing around with probably every single option available and possible but the Play Services still failed me and.......I honestly don't know what am I missing and where to look next
Edit: (I never use the mobile data btw)
Any suggestions? Anybody? I'm hopeless at this point :crying:
Thank you all...
...
Anyone? Please...
Ok Allow me to explain.
I am sure there will be naysayers saying it isn't possible or attribute it to placebo effect or whatever.
I am having really sensitive issues with my Samsung galaxy S2.
Before I had a simple nokia. I didn't use it as much, and I didn't experience any discomfort.
Now with my S2 I am feeling pains/stings, in my stomach, brain, teeth, heart, eyes, legs, fingers.
I know how it sounds, but that's appearently how sensitive I am.
I know it is caused by the device, but I don't know what causes it. For example wifi feature, basic call/receive- cell phone technology something else or a combination.. I didn't test this as much.
Even if I am doing something else and someone *activates their phone* meaning the screen lits up, and I don't even see the person doing it.
I know usually very quickly that a phone is nearby.
So when the phone screen is dark. I don't experience it as much, more so when it is in *usermode*.
Anyway I don't wanna sell it because I don't know exactly what is causing it and it cost me 300 euro's. I still have my basic Samsung for calls.
I still want to use it for mp3 playback because I like the way it works + some offline games.
So my question here is. I already disabled wifi+ mobile data+bluetooth icon
Is there a way to de-activate the MOST components other then what I need to use the mp3 player+ play plats vs zombies for example.
I want to de-activate or freeze everything with Titanium backup tool or maybe you guys know a better way?
Please assist me in what is safe to freeze.
look at the stickied thread in themes n apps section.. :good:
This is not helping my friend.
I need someone who knows what they are talking about.
I want to shut down every service/ app that may communicate any kind of signal, mobile/wifi.
Does the Samsung really not put out any wifi signal when u press off the icon?
What services may block incoming calls or "checking" connecting to the airwaves/network.
Basically I want the telephone dead of emitting anything..
I don't care about normal apps that don't use any kind of emittance.
Hi chrisssj2,
When you press off the icon it just shuts down wifi so no it doesnt put out any wifi signal.
The best and safest way is just to freeze apps since you have to do more work when you accidently deleted an neccesary app.
The service that does checking connecting to mobile network is telephony/ril service, I dont know the exact name how samsung calls it but you can use airplane mode since it disables simcard/mobilenetwork and it disables wifi.
You could also disable bluetooth and location services/gps.
It seems that you are very, very sensitive to electronic devices.
There is also probably also a list of applications what you can disable on your galaxy s2 but I cant find it for you since my browser on my tablet (chrome) updated and now bugs like hell.
Did you already went to a doctor or maybe googled on internet about your sensitivity for electronic devices? Maybe there is like a temporary fix or a solution for that problem like some kind of case which reduces it so it won't irritate you.
Hello,
How do I use airplane mode? I have heard of this but I have never used such thing.
I have wifi gps, vibrate, screen rotate, blue tooth. mobile data, power saving, sync .
Only things on are powersaving, vibrate and sync. (not sure what sync does)
No I haven't. Because I know it isn't an accepted thing... you know people calling you crazy and all..
I read they have stickers for it, but there also naysayers on this.. not sure.
I also have disabled wifi on my internet router. I hope the signal is really 100% off when you do this. So I can really test how Ill feel.
I did not find this "telephony/ril service"...
I am not overreacting because I have been annoying on it for like 1 year now (got the phone almost 2 years now.) And I just seem to get more sensitive to it.. and have been ignoring it, but now something said enough is enough..
Anyway I took out the sim and put it in my simple nokia phone.
I will be so happy if I not get electrocuted by my phone and can listen music on it ^^
Very important to me, I like it way better then a normal mp3 player.
I’ve searched all the day yesterday but couldn’t find a solution that is within my capabilities.
Is there a way* to force Android on my phone to automatically activate its WiFi hotspot when I leave home, so I can share internet with my wife’s phone, and/or the tablet and/or the head unit of the car?
And once back home, or in a place where there is a known WiFi network, to activate automatically the WiFi switching off the hotspot, because no longer needed.
I know it’s just a slide and a tap far away, but heck, why should I take out of the pocket my phone EVERY SINGLE TIME I leave home when it should be all automatic? And remember to switch it off every time I come back home?
Who’s the dimwit at google that decided this couldn’t be a scenario?
*a way = a lightweight app that just does this and nothing else. Not apps like tasker, which does a million things and apparently isn’t good for what I want to do, or Automate, or AutomateIt, which didn’t work either.
I see everywhere iPhones’ hotspots (like Matt’s iPhone) so I assume that iDevices have this feature already.
Thank you in advance
Am I the only one on this? Should I assume that what I want to achieve is undoable?
:'(
Seriously though, am I the only one with this issue ever?
If there is already a quick solution I can’t find, don’t be shy and tell me, please!
Did you tried to find any apps for this feature on play store?
of course I did, and googled as well. But couldn’t find anything, and that’s why I asked here.
The only apps I found in the store are stupid widgets to put a button in the home screen to activate it manually, but not to do the thing automatically.
I am still in the hunt for this.
I discovered that there are ways to activate the hotspot when for example there is a bluetooth connection triggering the action, or otherwise nothing.
Another scenario I was thinking of could be for me spending just 10€ a month for the mobile data between my wife and me (we are always out together, and it’s more likely that I am the only one going out alone as she doesn’t have a driving license, so if I go out she has wifi at home anyway) instead of spending 20€ a month between us two (10€ each), with the result of a gigabyte or so of unused credit each at the end of the month..
We could easily use 10€ - 2GB in two., with 120€ a year saved.
I have an issue that I need some help. I've been searching in the forum and internet and didn't find anything that applies. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my phone, with S9+ or Android 10. If this post is placed incorrectly, I would like to ask any mod to change it to the correct location.
I have a new S9+ phone, upgraded to official Android 10 OneUI 2.5, and then rooted with Magisk. I have much of the crapware Samsung shoved in the equipment either removed or disabled, but nothing is related with Bluetooth, AFAIK.
This phone have a very odd and annoying behaviour. It looses the Bluetooth pared devices list every time I turn off BT, and I'm forced to pair it again with any device previously paired. This happens with any other BT device - another phone, an earphone, speakers, etc. If I turn the other device BT off, and keep the phone BT on, it shows the disconnected device in the list, and when I turn it on again, it's still in the list of paired devices. Therefore, it only happens if I switch off the phone BT.
I usually have the "nearby devices BLE" crap disabled, but if I turn it on, this behaviour doesn't show - it doesn't loose the devices list. I think that might be because that "nearby devices" keeps part of Bluetooth always on, even when I switch BT off.
Please note that I don't have any other issue to operate or pair a BT device. It pairs without issues and it keeps the connection normally. My old S7 Android 8 phone still works like a charm with same devices.
I already tried the only 2 possible solutions I found for somewhat related issues; I dumped the cache and data of the Bluetooth service, and I reset all connections (WiFi+BT+Mobile) in the Settings. Nothing have solved the issue. I would do a complete factory reset, but the phone is completely configured and all apps installed and it would be a major pain if I had to start over!
Anyone can help?
When you repare what does it do?
Just a pop up asking if you want to connect?
Or it doesn't recognize the previously registered bt device?
Are you using the Wearables app?
I don't repair. I just switch off BT and it immediately forgets the previously paired devices.
In my old phone(s), each time I turn BT on, it shows a list with the paired devices, and if I connect the BT on any of these, it automatically connects. If I turn off BT in the phone and on again, it will show the paired devices list and they are still there.
That doesn't happen with the new phone. I switch BT on, it shows an empty list of paired or available devices. It start to scan for new devices. If I switch on my BT earphone (for example), it finds it, I can pair them and use the earphone perfectly. If I switch off and on again the earphone, the device is still listed. If I switch BT off and on again IN THE PHONE, the list of paired and available devices is empty. I have to scan, find and pair the earphone (or any other device) to use them again. Every time.
I don't have any smart watch or similar. My earphone is a Jabra 25 but that happens with another phone or device. I have the Samsung wearables apps freezed. I will unfreeze them to see if it changes anything.
BTW... I found this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/bluetooth-pairing-gone-adter-reboot-phone.4004833/) and I tried to install Magisk libsecure_storage, but it said "installation failed" and it still doesn't work.
Wearable Manager Installer was not (and is not) frozen.
I defrosted ANT+ and ANT Radio stuff and Device Services, but it didn't work. I also have SmartThings crap frozen, but I don't think it's related with this issue.
On the other hand, Magisk is 23.0 and I have BusyBox, MagiskHide Props Config and Systemless Hosts Modules installed, if that's relevant.

Was Wearables updated recently?
The last update broke mine and it was behaving similar to yours. I had to reinstall a copy of a previous version and then firewall block it's updating IP. It's a handful.
Galaxy Buds, Buds+ Set up
Install the Galaxy Wearable and Galaxy Buds software. Update software and Buds firmware, this is important because the old versions sound sucks. Turn on/go to Developer Options in Settings and on the Bluetooth Codec setting toggle on Samsung's...
forum.xda-developers.com
I really don't know... I have been updating most apps and services in the last week or two, to prepare my new phone, so probably yes. What is exactly the wearables app you talk about? "Wearable Manager Installer"? That's the only "wear" app I have.
Both. Had to reinstall both of them or at least I did. The new Galaxy Wearables interface sucked.
Galaxy Wearables:
Known good versions:
Wearables Manager Installer, Version 1.1.15.13054
Galaxy Wearables, Version 2.2.33.20082161
I suppose I don't need Galaxy Wearables at all, because I don't have gear from Samsung, right? Only the installer?
Indeed my version of Installer is 2.1.01.19006

Yeah, you need the Installer as it loads the drivers I think.
Wearables is intended for the Buds and such. It also provides firmware flash updates for them
I don't know the buggy installer or Wearables version numbers.
I had multiple problems including connectivity and bad audio quality except for phone calls
I keep installable backup copies via ApkExport so I was able uninstall then reinstall the old versions. Otherwise I been more boned... more than I was already. I was pissed.
Try this...
Uninstall the newer version first. You'll may need to block the IP address* I gave in my Buds+ thread to prevent an auto update.
