So I'm loving my Transformer. The OS has a few bugs, but overall very nice.
One of these bugs really...bugs me. It's with the calendar.
It will sync with my Google calendar, but when I go to view them, they are never at the right time. An even that I have on the schedule for 11am will appear as being at 3am at first glance.
If I tap on the event and try to edit it, it will give the correct start time. But once I exit, it goes back to being at 3am. The only solution is to delete the event and put it in again. Even then sometimes after putting in the new even, it will still start at the wrong time. It's not a huge huge problem, except that it will send me alerts in the dead of night about an even happening when really it is several hours away.
What is going on?

What timezone are you set on? I set my time correctly and noticed my calendar events were off, but for some reason the tablet was set to have Taiwan as the timezone, not EST. Fixed that, and my events are at the proper time.

For some reason my Weather Widget doesnt update itself that often. Like earlier this morning it said it was clear, but with the moon, yet it was sunny out...LOL Any ideas?
Does it ever update? If not, check your Location settings. If it does, then sometimes you just have to wait for the connection. I've seen it take a while to get the update sometimes, but eventually if you're sitting on the home screen it should update if location settings are on and you have a data connection.
I was running totally stock last night. It told me it was sunny and clear and it was night time. It seems to be having issues.
Yea location is on. I just thought it was weird that its not updating all the time.
My HTC weather widget updates very sporadically throughout the day, however it does work.
Email HTC about this. The more people who tell them about it, the greater the chance we will see updates and fixes coming out.
I know these posts are old but i'm bored!
If you have a 'task manager' installed make sure it's not stopping these updating functions by default.
I kept noticing it wasn't behaving the way the calendar did in my g1. For the heck of it I pretended to edit an event then go back and then go to edit again and the date kept advancing farther into the future. When I try to make the "from" the same as the "to" it keeps making those dates consecutive and not the same date. I've used the calendar app on my g1 for a long time so I know something is funky. Any ideas out there? I did a google search but nothing came up.
(Let me preface that it looks like the problem has resolved itself. I still want to post, though, to see if anyone might know what the problem was and how to fix it if it happens again.)
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (i727) and it is non-rooted, with no custom launchers or anything like that. I'm going to explain exactly what I did right before my date/time got messed up in case that has anything to do with it. I apologize in advance because this is going to be kinda long.
Yesterday (1-23-2012) I was playing Mario RPG during my lunch break. SNES A.D. usually works pretty well, but it was being super laggy. I kept glancing at the second hand on my watch (analog) to make sure I had enough time before I had to go back. I seemed to have plenty of time so I decided to mess with the settings on SNES A.D. to try to cure the lag. Nothing helped, and I made sure I had closed everything else using the built-in task manager widget thing. I even closed the game and cleared the memory in the RAM tab, but it wouldn't go below 400-something. I went to the Application section in Settings and tried to close some running processes that I NEVER use, like Social Hub and Accu Weather, etc. They would not stay off. I even tried to clear cached processes. (Did I mention I HATE bloatware?) Finally I gave up and resigned myself to play a bit more of the game even though it was super laggy. After a couple of minutes I heard my boss talking to a guy in the hall, and I knew that guy had an appointment at 3:00. I turned off the game and looked at the time on the phone and it said 1:45. I was confused about why that guy would show up so early. It was time to go back to work, so I grabbed my stuff and went back to my desk. As I was setting my stuff down I noticed the time on my work phone and computer was 2:45! I immediately panicked, thinking I had taken a 2-hour lunch. I looked at my watch more closely to make sure the computer and phone weren't messed up, and sure enough it was 2:45. It took me a little while to realize that I had gone to lunch at 1:45. In any case, I knew my cell was messed up and when I checked the settings I saw that it had changed to Central time instead of Eastern. The Automatic box was checked, too. I manually changed it back to Eastern. I tried rebooting the phone, but every time I would try to check Automatic it would switch to Central again. Finally, tonight (1-24-12) I decided to try posting here. I checked the phone one more time, but this time when I selected Automatic it stayed on Eastern. Go figure.
Also, on a possibly unrelated note, my phone was acting up a bit late last night. I tried watching something right quick on Netflix and the video was being super laggy while the audio was fine. Also, my sister was texting me but I kept getting the same text 7 times in a row at 1-minute intervals, but with the same timestamp. It happened with two different messages. I finally just turned off my phone to charge so I wouldn't keep hearing the buzz. I haven't had any other problems today to note.
I've seen the time change when switching networks sometimes. I guess some towers are not setup properly as it's transmitting the wrong time. I've seen this on other phones as well. It's a cell tower issue.
Soo.... I'm guessing there's no good solution, but posting anyway..
Suddenly, whenever I do a battery pull (frozen device or just swapping batteries) .... when I boot the phone back up, the date/time has reset to sometime in 2006 at 6:00pm...
I have the checkbox to automatically update date/time checked in Settings... this happened with CM7 and is also happening with MIUI now..
I downloaded an app to auto-sync date and time, but it doesn't kick in until several minutes after bootup if at all... so whenever the clock is fixed, all sorts of apps are affected - anything that tracks by date thinks 7 years just passed! Alarms go off, app alerts go off, etc..
I suspect this may be a capacitor/small battery used for keeping the time, inside the phone going bad ... anyone else had this happen to their g2x? Am I wrong in suspecting there's no fix?

Actually this happens to me everytime I swap my batteries, but date and time always correct themselves once the sync with a network, for me usually under a minute. I don't have any app issues though because of the incorrect time at start up. Very odd.

All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
