[Q] Why am I receiving a constant time change notification? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I keep receiving a time zone change notification on my VZW Galaxy Note 2. I'm running stock 4.1.2 but I and rooted and unlocked. I'm pretty sure it's not related to the ROM itself because I was receiving this notification long before I updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. I always wipe before installing a new ROM and I didn't notice the notification until after I download a app called iBOLT Dock'n Drive to go along with the car dock that I bought. Assuming that the app somehow brought this change on, not only do I no longer use the app, but I wiped the phone completely and have installed several different ROM after that time but the "time zone change" notification still persist.
As of right now I disable the automatic time zone and set it for my time zone, but has anybody else had this issue? Could having a unlocked bootloader have something to do with this?

Have you tried the automatic time zone option?

Yeah, I had to disable and manually set my time zone in order for my phone to quit telling me that my time zone has changed.

I've been searching around and have discover a few other users that have this same issue. Judging by the fact that nobody has really responded to my question, I can assume that nobody else is have this issue.

I've factory reset the phone as well and that didn't address the issue.

Past experience i've come across with this problem prompted me to check widgets. Look at the widgets that you have installed. Beautiful widgets was the culprit for me before. See if it's something like that for you.

[Q] Set current time notification?

Occasionally, since I rooted my Amaze, I see an icon in the notification area that looks like an upside-down teardrop with an exclamation point and the notification text says "Set current time - Tap here to change your settings."
Sometimes I've seen this after reboot, other times it happens completely randomly. The time is correct on the phone... Why does this notification come up?
Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can offer.

In settings Date & time there is an option to automatically get the time from the network, if this is ticked and you happen to lose your signal when it is checking you will get that error..

Thanks so much for the quick reply. So to your point about "if this is ticked and you happen to lose your signal when it is checking you will get that error.." - this has nothing to do with root? It's just a freak thing that happens occasionally?
I only ask so that I can understand more and try to learn more about my phone.
Thanks again.
It's not a root thing, just Sense looking for information and not being able to find it so gives an error.

Good to know. Guess I was just lucky enough to never notice it before I rooted, and now it happened twice so I guess I got concerned something was wrong. It could always be corrected manually each time, or - as was the case this morning - it eventually just went away!
Thanks again. Really appreciate the help.
Depending on what you flashed, it may have to do with your kernal or rom systematically turning off your connection to save battery and then if that runs you get the error. (my thoughts)
No. Nothing to do with root. My amaze is still a virgin, and I get this error once in a while as well.
As other poster mentioned, uncheck the set time with current internet or whatever it says it will stop.

cannot find location

Howdy, so I did a factory reset last night and since then my Prime cant seem to find my location , in any weather app or maps.....i tried a factory reset a few more times but still no luck....any ideas on what i can try to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Assuming you have location services turned on in the settings, remember tablets aren't meant to use gps. If you need gps, go buy a garmin or smartphone, because everyone around here will tell you tablets dont need gps.
I dont care about GPS, never my intention for the tablet.
Location sevices were all checked and that part of it worked perfectly before the factory reset.
Just got to work and it seems to connect ok here. Not sure what happened at home but I will test this evening.
Do you have another android device to test ?
It could be that Google doesn't know about your router's location. They have a database of wifi router locations and maybe they never got yours.

Yep, my Thunderbolt works fine at home.
I will test it this evening whenget back .
Thanks!
Uncheck the ALL location options, then save. Then check them again, you will get a nice terms and conditions dialogue, accept it. Save.
This is crazy....i had location working all day at work and the gym.
I get home and it can't find location. Weird thing is it was fine until i did the reset.
Ugh

I was curious because I had similar issues when I first turned on my prime but I had to go set the setttings like you have them to get it straightened out. Assuming that you have not already set everything up again, have you tried another factory reset?

I did a factory reset, that is when this particular issue starting happening.
Before that location was not a problem for me, at home or on any other wifi.
I did the factory reset intially because it was acting weird, sluggish and non responsive so I figured I would give that a shot before pursuing anything else ...and now my location service wont work at home. Which is strange because it does work on several other wifi spots that I have tried.
I read somewhere that Google can sometimes lose your wifi/router from its DB, just havent found out if there is a way to maybe force it back..?
The fact that it works everywhere but my home which is where I use it like 95% of the time kinda sucks...Maybe I will ping Asus and see what they have to say about it.

AT&T: "Network does not provide date and time..."? [Alternative Option]

I have been getting repeated pop up messages, something to the idea of "Network does not provide date and time information, go to date/time settings to change setting...".
I have not had this issue with other AT&T phones. I presume AT&T's network DOES provide time/date to the phone?
Has anyone else seen this? What is the resolve?
Thanks.
Edit:
Here is an alternative:
Install the free "ClockSync" from Market.
It syncs via NTP, is very configurable how it syncs, can sync only while awake or booting up (to save battery), and can provide timezone offset via database or GPS. I have been using it for a few days, it seems to work very well.
This allows us to turn off the network time sync and the clock will stay accurate.
Edit 2:
Lots of apps sync--Google contacts, calender, GApps, FB, etc. I don't know which relies on time stamp. In some cases, the app may unexpectedly alter data based on erroneous time stamp. This is partially why it's important to make sure that your clock does not drift too much.
make sure your time zone is correct because that can cause this.

Thanks for your reply. My timezone was/is correct. Any other ideas??
I was having this exact issue the first couple days with my Note. Had no idea what was causing it, but haven't seen it since. My time zone was also set correctly.
I noticed this the first day when I had the phone. It seems to pop up when switching between LTE and HSPA+. Maybe the phone pings the tower for updated time/date every time the radios hand off?
It hasn't happened again after the first 2 days for me.

I started getting that when I tried switching to the APN that would (in theory) disable LTE since I'm in a fringe area. When I switched back to the default APN it stopped.
Don't know if changing APN had any effect other than the error messages.

This problem may be cell-site dependent. I see it all the time at home, but have not seen it at my office. This is just one day though. I will keep observing.
I just had this happen and I went to settings/date and time and unchecked automatic (use network provided values) hopefully this will eliminate that bug.

Ptoryno worke,
Had the note for a day and returned cause I saw and online discount of 50% off so I'm waiting on it to come through the mail. During that day, I has the same problem frequently. I unchecked "set time zone automattically" and it stopped happening.
I came from a Skyrocket running 2.3.5 to the Note which came with 2.3.6 and never had the prompt come up on the SR but I get it frequently on the Note. I didn't have to adjust anything on the SR and left everything default so I'm thinking that it could be a bug in 2.3.6?
I see people saying to uncheck the automatic Date & time so it doesn't use network-provided values. The funny thing is, the SR was fine with that checked and the Note is using the same wireless / towers. It's kind of mis-information since it says "Network does not provide date and time information," unless the SR was bugged and just didn't care to report it!
I only have this problem when im connected to wifi

Go to your local at&t store and have them take a look at it

I turned off automatic time in date and time settings and it stopped for me.

i only saw this bug while running saurom and just chalked it up to the goofed apn settings and lack of +supl.
+supl helps with location based services which would be necessary to pull the right time zone to set your clock.

Its a network error. The system is trying to connect and update the time and date and it cannot. Its typically going to happen when using the "phone" apn or if the phone cant communicate with the network
yuuuup
I'm going to chime in, I'd suggest call ATT its probably a cell site issue. Does it happen when you're connected to a different tower?

This happened on my Samsung Infuse also. Just unchecked the auto retrieve date then changed it back later. Not the end of the world. End of issue.

[Q] Missed update also notification pulldown

Ok, so I'm on at&t and I got the notice for the 4.2.2 update. I wanted to do a factory reset before the update, which I did, but now when I go into settings and check for updates it tells me there are no update available. I was wondering if anyone has any insight as to whats going on and how I go about getting the update now. What's even more frustrating is the 24hr wait time between update attempts. Is there any way around any of this. By the way I am stock and unrooted.
Also a secondary question is about the notification pulldown. I don't know if it's just coincidental to this factory reset, or something that I amazingly never noticed, but I can pull down the notification tray from the lockscreen. I can't believe I've never noticed this before. Is this supposed to behave this way? Is there a setting that I've missed that was reset? It's annoying cause it easily unlocks when I put the phone in my pocket. I can't believe it's supposed to work that way as it completely defeats the purpose of the lock screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I had your exact same problem. I decided to follow the suggestion @grigoriisi provided and it worked. Step by step, this is how I pulled it off.
1- I reset the phone to stock settings, after which point I suffered your same problem. I checked for updates and it said my software was up to date.
2- I went to the Time/Date settings and changed the date by 1 full day. By this point, I checked again for updates and it found one and started downloading the small update.
3- After the phone rebooted, I checked again for update and it said my software was up to date.
4- I then moved further ahead in time by another full day. After this, I checked for update and it found the full update and began downloading it.
5- Afterwards everything went as expected. Once the phone was up and running (And fully updated) I reset the date to the correct one.
Note: Some networks (as in Office WiFi or not optimally configured home networks) may prevent the phone from reaching the update server in the first place. Check for the update using your LTE connectivity, and once it starts downloading switch to the WiFi.
the trick of checking for the update on LTE worked! Switched over to wifi after getting the notification and am updating. Thanks!

[Q] Fix/disable this notifications?

I bought the s6E yesterday and as soon finished the initial setup and samsung apps started updating i started to get the security notification and i've already made like 3 or 4 restarts of the phone and i still get the notification of threat of an unauthorised system change.
And when i restart my phone i get another notification, it appears only when i turn on the phone. It says "The applications of this device consume data and apply a cost for navigation. We suggest you hire a data package. Details with your service operator", the problem is that i already have a data plan of 5gb.
How i can fix this thing?? the phone is perfect, only those 2 annoyance.
My phone is not rooted, i don't know if it's worth to root it and also, i don't want to void the warranty.
All my last android phones were rooted and with custom roms, i don't want to fall to the dark side of rooting and roms again... xD
Thanks

This might help you get rid of the first message. It seems you have to update some kind of security policy. Hopefully it works for you.

The second message must have something to do with data warnings. Take a look under the data usage option in settings to see if there are notification settings. I think this is based on the data settings for your carrier. At first glance though it looks like some kind of malware because the English is a little off but it is Samsung after all.

Thanks i already saw that post and it didn't worked last time, i just cleaned data of security update policy and the log and restarted, then went to the settings to update the policies and had no updates, dont know if im doing it right or not..
I'm not really in love with the idea of reseting my phone, and in some cases, after reseting the phone, this still happens.
