1970 issue - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after install twrp 2.7.1 i have with the date and time 1970 issue

@trifos go to the twrp settings menu and set your date.

When I clean. installation. again I have date and time 1970 ,its rtc wrong

So after you are installing a rom you have a time like that? Just do the time properly in the rom and try it again. Also do like i said in the twrp settings the time good. If these things dont work it could be like a bug. I only got those weird times on my old android phones with removable battery when i reinsert it.
Sorry if I didnt gave you the right answer yet but I don't completely understand it :/

Thanks for the answer but see this picture and in twrp rtc time and year show 1970. This picture is from root explorer

Maybe the rom also did that? Probably not but thats the created date by something you did before probably those folders also remain like that. If your phone was once set to this time and then thefolder is created then thats the date, I cant give you an full answer why this would happen

Bump @trifos this is also for you maybe if you still have the problem.
It seems that there was also an app/fix for it so I want to share it with you and maybe other people who also have this problem.
See this old thread which got barried in the ruins of the xda pages
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580974
Hope this could also solve this issue for other users too.

Did it happend when you created a new folder? If so then look into settings and adjust the time. When everything is wiped and it doesn't have the time written anymore and it doesn't know where you are also if you didn't even connected to internet then you get that. See this also about why 1970 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time you could describe this as a bug kind of. Just like in a computer if you pull out the small round battery on the motherboard and no power supply then it will also not remember the time and it just resets to the begin time.
Let's describe this easily, its just a bug just like Ios8 have bugs with receiving sometimes random text messages from 1970 which you can't open. So just change the time in settings and you will be fine :good:

Not sure of the fix but it looks like an odd overlay issue. Possibly a conflict with 2 dialers? /shrug
try uninstalling the cab

Wow -- what an interesting design. Very unique.
Seriously -- did you try to intstall another dialer or something? What did you do on the device today (installs / mods)??
last message, I had the big button dialer for while like a week or so and I decided to get a skin,
I saw a fourm and i got the img files for the black skin, So i put the img's in the windows dir. but that wasint the place to put them, it over writed like 2 img files i think, so i went into the phone skin folder in the windows dir. and i put them there did a soft-reset and it turned out like that, "first time i put the img's to the windows .dir no change after soft-reset" so can some one conger up some detailed step by step instructions on how to fix this, I got to go this was my last message im walking out the door right now.. 9:30pm GMT -05:00 "eastern time" is when ill be on, later guys and thanks for the help..
wow, man. if you erased images previously in windows folder, you might be SOL, just a bit, without knowing which ones. What I would do would be to try and use another dialer skin and install over the whole thing. try big button dialer again. try to install it and see if that works for you. i have included it in this post so you dont have to bother searching. i know that big button dialer uses all its own images so it might just overlay again and look right.

Is that the installed dialer that comes with the official carrier released ROMs?
Alright i'm back, thank's for the steps, I just uninstalled the dialer and it just finished booting up, and wow, I turn my phone on and it statred dialing by its self???
Well im installing the new idaler and going to add the skin after it boots up, hopefully it doesint dail whole bunch of numbers and letters again lol..
Well I uninstalled the dialer, re-installed it, put the img's back into the phone skin folder and soft-rest my phone,
\edit
Well i'm just going to uninstall it and stick to the original big button dialer, guess I canno't put a new skin, if any one want's to go in depth with me on trying to fix this problem I would be more then happy to let them help me, thank's to who helped..

100% awake time fix for DamagedTrev 2.0.1?

I have tried the Airplane Mode trick, and it did not work...anyone find a solution? This build runs great other than this battery life issue...
Did you try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651848
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that previously, and while it reduced the "time without signal", the awake time is remains at 100%.
Does anyone know if this 100% awake is an issue with Fresh Rom 2.0c?

That issue isn't guaranteed to happen, or *not* happen, on any particular 2.1 rom, but seems to happen to people on occasion on different roms, and perhaps for different reasons. I did not have that issue on Fresh 2.0c, for what it's worth.
No matter which rom you want to end up on, it might be a good idea to restore back to something that previously worked, confirm that it still does, then re-wipe (Data/Dalvik/Ext) and re-flash the rom of your choice. If all goes well you won't have the issue, and will have only a slight lingering frustration over what unknown factors were causing it.
...and good luck!
This sounds fine, except for having to set up all my apps., etc, etc all over again :-(
Is there a way to avoid that?

Depends on what you mean by 'set up' -- saved .apks for easy re-installation, yes. Saved .apks with all relevant configuration intact -- well, that's what nandroid is for, so in that case no, not really.
Best case, if you happen to be using apps2sd, when you do a nandroid backup (+ext) it puts all your .apk in a neat and tidy .tar file for you labeled ext. You could certainly unzip that and push them back after you get the basics set up again.
If you are not using apps2sd, you can still backup most of your .apk files using AppMonster or Astro, both free from the market. They might not be able to backup some paid apps, or certain protected free ones, but it will get most of them. If you are comfortable reading up on, and learning adb a bit, you can 'adb pull [source] [destination]' to get the files that the apps won't copy on to your PC.
Regardless, don't rush to dump everything back before you check to see that your awake time drops when the phone is off for a while (and not plugged in to pc, for good measure).
I am assuming hat wiping and using a nandroid backup will not fix this issue...correct?

Oh it might, but if the rom you restore isn't the rom you want to end up on you will clearly still have a few more steps to take. Since the issue isn't really that well understood the only way to find out for sure is to try it.
If I had to wager, I would say that yes, if you restore a backup of a rom that didn't give you 100% awake time trouble before, it should be fine once again when restored over a setup that was giving you trouble.
The real point is that if you then went *back* to the one that was giving you trouble, there is just as good a chance that it would work fine this time as there is that you would have the same issue again. Only one way to find out...
Thanks for all of your help askwhy. Too bad no one understands this issue - it seems that it *should* be a very simple fix ;-)
Wow, I just flashed Fresh 2.0b and the awake time issue is resolved. Also, the Cell Standby issue is also solved - it's at 29%, rather than the 69% I had with the Damaged One...now tlet's see what is broken in the Fresh version...
I had 100% awake on DamageControl v2.0r2. Just flashed Damaged-Regaw 2.0b1.3 and the issue is solved as well as all the other issues I was having.
Troy, what other issues did it solve, and where did you get it?
I am now thinking of staying with Fresh, as it seems to be more responsive...thanks.
i am on darkledgend 4.2.2 and to fix the problem on that rom here are the steps, give it a try.
from dialer
*#*#4636#*#* (give it a second and you will go into a menu)
press menu hard key
press select radio band (you will get a force close, acknowledge and ignore it)
select "cdma auto prl" from the drop down menu
press home hard key
you have to do this every time you reboot

Thanks Smitty. I tried that some time ago, and while it seems to fix an issue, but it does nothing to help the 100% awake issue. Thanks though.
for what its worth i have never had the issue using the full rom -

Are the people with 100% awake time already patched with this file?

(From the first page of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653622 )
I noticed I had the 100% awake time before trying to fix the Facebook syncing problems; patched with this file and now I'm down to about 50% awake time (sounds accurate as I haven't had the screen off for a lot of the time).
Its only been a bit over an hour but though I would mention it.
good point about fb urinsane last thing i did before i started session in above screenshots was test out that update.

Long tap on it and select "App info", then tap "Turn Off" button to disable it.
I also turned off "Samsung Link" app on my Note 3.
Tried clear cache, so far so good
Edit: Clear cache did not work, had to freez the app using Titanium
hm
Ok so looks like the best idea is to disable the app so will do that.
Is there any reason why i might not want to do that though what dose the app actually do and it really should just work the first place should it not? ??

Whatsapp scrolls up by opening keyboard

Hi Guys,
I have a annoying problem with whatsapp.
When i receive a new message i open it and i see the latest message.
Then i open the keyboard to send back a message and thats when the problem kicks in whatsapp scrolls up a bit so i cant read te coversation, unless i scroll down.
This is only happend with new incomming messages.
When i open an older conversation whatsapp doesnt scroll up when i open the keyboard.
Im using custom rom cm13
I am nog sure if this is a specific whatsapp problem.
Anybody has a solution? Or maby more people with the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed the exact same issue - I've even joined their beta program thinking that maybe they have already fixed the issue in beta (they didn't, it still exists). No real work around that I've found.

I made a new clean install and now it's working fine again.
I think it had something to do with immersive mode.
?? (wish they had a male version) I didn't even think to do that. Funny how you get ahead of yourself sometimes trying to find a complex solution... I'll give that a try.

Did it work for you?
After a while my prone started doing the same thing..
Still havent found any solution
I noticed the exact same thing. Initially it seemed fine, but it's gone back to needing to scroll to the bottom to see the latest message. I've tried using both swiftkey and Swype keyboards with the same result.
Strange.
Well maby a new update will fix this in the future, i hope sooner than later though..
I also have a problem with playing a video from the chat screen.
When i receive a video and download it, i cant play the file straight from the chat screen.
If i go back and reopen the chat then press the video it does play.
I is a little annoying when i receive a video, i have to close the chat, reopen it and then be able to play the video.

Battery Care issues

I've been using XC for a month now. Battery Care worked only during the first few weeks and now it refuses to work anymore. For the past few days, I've been trying to figure out the cause. I even decompiled the APK and am studying the program logic. But I need some live data from working device to help me better understand. If your phone is rooted and Battery Care is working properly, please send me the following files to check. Hopefully the result will help to fix our problem regarding Battery Care. Thanks!

Even if you don't have Xposed installed, the app can still show many useful information which may help you troubleshoot BatteryCare problem.

You can try it for a few days and will see the Predicted time should match closely with the Actual time which will result in successful prediction. If all goes well, BatteryCare should resume again. Please be reminded to set the alarm clock BEFORE plugging in.
BTW, you should see values in Score and Less than 1 week after the first charging event. But currently the value for Score is not very accurate. I'm working on it now.
I set alarm clock daily at 5.45, except Saturday and Sunday.
