Clock resets during reboot - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

It seems I have an issue with my phone and I would like to know if it's only me or if there are others or there.
Every time I reboot my phone, my phone's clock reset. And not only the time, but the date changes to January 1970. I tested this on various roms, stock-based and aosp-based with same results.
I noticed that as soon as I have some sort of internet connection, it retrieves the current date and time and updates itself. But, if I put my phone on airplane mode and then reboot, then it stays with the incorrect date and time.
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but my time zone, when retrieved from Verizon's network, is Pacific, when I'm in mountain time. I have to manually change the time zone, but even after changing it, my clock keeps the mountain time. So, I also have to fix the time manually.
Please guys, let me know it it's just me or of this is a known issue on our phone. Thanks.

Same issue here...
I can't help you with your issue but I do seem to have the exact same problem. My phone has been doing this since I got it in July. Were you able to resolve the problem? I just started a thread about it in the AT&T S3 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063156&referrerid=4789157
It's one of those issues that is easy to just ignore since its not often that you need to reboot with out an internet connection but I'm worried that this might cause other issues, especially with files being modified during the boot process before the clock can be set.
Either way, it would be nice to get it resolved while I'm still under warranty!

I have never tried a reboot in airplane mode buy my nandroid backups always have a 1970 date stamp on them

I have seen my phone start up with the time/date way off, then seconds later it sync's and corrects itself. No reason that I can put my finger on, just every now and then..Mostly with custom roms..

Wifi connection connected but won't load pages

It said connected in the wifi setting and it shows bars but it just won't load any website in the browser .. anyone got a fix for this?
I have the same issue. Tried different combinations of restarting wifi, turning on/off cell data, on/off wifi calling, etc... all with no result. I've also tried on different networks (both public and private)-- it'd start working for a while and then all of a sudden stop and never work again.
Seems similar to the problem here: forums. t-mobile.c om/t5/T-Mobile-G2x/G2x-WiFi-DNS-issue-not-the-4G-switching-one/m-p/831439 (sorry there's a new user no link restriction)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

is it specific to the browser or can you not move any data?
Idk, whenever I have had problems connecting to the tmo network, which is a separate issue.. it was always that wifi calling was still on even tho wifi was turned off. Every time I had probs w/ data on tmo network, it's been wifi calling.. Your case seems to be diff tho.
Is it specific to just your network or all other networks? Try shutting off wifi, reboot... then turn it on again? Idk.. just tossing out ideas.
Some found the root cause and I am posting his finding as I do have the same issue and can reproduce the error:
I think I have discovered a new WiFi-related bug in the G2x's software. I have witnessed this occurring on my phone, and have also reproduced it on a store demo unit. I believe it is unrelated to the switching-to-4G problem people are having with the My Account app, since it occurs even if I have set up the Google account on first boot after a factory reset.
The details of the problem are:
- Every so often, the phone randomly gets stuck in a state where it is not able to initiate any new connections that are made using a DNS name. Attempting to navigate to a web site, h**p://w*w.google.c*m for example, will result in a generic failure message.
- However, attempting to connect directly to an IP address instead of a DNS name works perfectly. For example, navigating to 74.125.225.16 will work fine and will load the Google home page.
- When the phone is in this state, using a DNS lookup tool such as "DNS Lookup" from the Marketplace *will* work, even when using the default DNS server address that the DHCP server is giving the phone.
- The problem has occurred for me when data is off and WiFi is on. I do not know if data being off is a requirement, since this is the way I usually run the phone, so this may be coincidental.
- Switching WiFi off and back on again will *sometimes* work to solve the problem, but sometimes will not. When this doesn't work, switching WiFi off, then switching data on, then back off again, and then finally switching WiFi back on again will occasionally correct the problem. However, I have seen situations where none of these things worked, and the only way to get DNS working again was to factory reset the phone.
- I haven't figured out the exact pattern yet, but this issue seems to occur when the phone has been inactive for a certain period of time. I have often discovered that the phone is in this state upon waking up in the morning after leaving the phone on the charger overnight.
- I have, however, found a method to reproduce the problem that seems to work fairly consistently:
1. Turn WiFi on, and data off.
2. Power cycle the phone.
3. When the phone starts up, start the browser and attempt to browse to w*w.google.c*m. It should fail.
4. Try to browse to 74.125.225.16. It should work.
Just wanted to get this issue in the forums to see how many others have been noticing the same thing.
I know that once the device has less than 10% battery it automatically turns the WiFi off to save battery power. Were the devices this was happening on have a low battery?
Fully charged. It even happens when pluged in with the charger.
My Wifi wouldn't even work if I froze it with Bloat Freezer. It has to run in the background for wifi to work. I found that Wifi can get really inconsistent with it disabled.

Same problem here. After about 30 minutes of being idle, as soon as I pick up the phone it tries to connect 2g/4g. The log are saying theres no connection, so it appears that wifi its going to sleep and not waking up so android is trying to connect 2g/4g
Really starting to be a pain
I have frozen the bloat, and I think the problem is getting worse.
Toggle airplane mode is a quick workaround to get wifi to wake up

Same thing happened to me, I did 2 factory resets, and it seems it has been fixed, don't really know what causes it.

This may or may not be related, but...
It looks like I found a hacky fix for the dns/wifi/4g bug: install "Set DNS" from the market.
Now when I go into market, and display my downloaded apps, it jumps from wifi to 4g then back to wifi as it should, fast.
Whether or not it should even do go to 4g is debatable, all I can say is my 2 Galaxy Tabs had the same behavior.
If everyones connectivity issues are really due to the DNS settings getting wiped out, then this will work around the problem until I/we find the location of the actual bug.
Would you guys having this problem also post it here?
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/general/lg/topics/g2x-wifi-problems
Thanks.
I figure the more people that post there, the more the chances are of LG fixing it quickly.
Work around:
enable airplane mode
reboot
enable wifi
wait a few seconds after the wifi connects, background crap stops
disable airplane mode.
The set dns app looks like a winner. Haven't tried it but that's what's
wrong.
The freezing and other suggestions are all useless crap.
Updates...
I did a factory reset and installed JuiceDefender (I don't know which one worked) but it seems to be all fine now... will update if things become problematic again
I've been having this problem as well. I've always been able to fix it by toggling WiFi off and back on again. I downloaded SetDNS and when it happened again last night I tried that and it worked great.
Glad to see it's a software problem and not a hardware problem.
same problem here. hopefully it won't happen in cyanogen mod

This fixed the problem, at least until the next time I reboot my phone
How do you use SetDNS? This software bug in G2X reboots my router (DGL-4500) sometimes.
Question bout SetDNS app
Does the phone have to be rooted to use the setdns app? I try to use it but it says "Cannot get root. App will not function."

phone loses cellular data settings

I am sort of at a loss. My Surround is losing it's celluar data settings every time I turn it off and boot it back up. The signal bars do no E, or G, or H or anything else. If I am not connected to wifi there is no data at all. Speaking of wi-fi, it also does not maintain most of my saved networks. The only one is does is the one at work.
I first ran into this after Mango RTM upgraded to final. I was having other issues (e.g. music search not working) and blamed it on the upgrade. At the time I WAS able to use the HTC connection setup to configure the cellular data connection. I finally did a complete wipe on it a couple of weeks ago; I flashed back to the original ROM release and let it spend the next couple of hours updating back to Mango. Everything seemed fine but in the last couple of days I have found the problem has returned. To make matters worse, I can't even seem to download the HTC connection setup app anymore.
I have tried multiple soft resets, battery pulls, booting up without the SIM and then booting up with it, etc. Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it? The phone is pretty useless as a smartphone without a data connection.

Try that rom :] You need to do a RSPL / HSPL thing first;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
I suggest downgrading to a lower firmware and then doing so :] Mine does it from time to time aswell, Usually gets fixed when I--
1; get a call
2; turn wifi on or off
3; airplane mode
But even if it doesnt show the network type, It always works

Thanks. 1, 2, and 3 definitely don't fix it. It might be worth going with the custom ROM just so that it's unlocked and saves me from having to pay for the official unlock down the road sometime. One other thing is that around the same time I started getting some screen wonkiness. I would be trying to type something and the keyboard kept minimizing back to the bottom every few characters. Mainly only affected text messages though.
I decided to call AT&T to see if they might be able to force a refresh of the data settings. Since I've called them before on the problem the guy thinks it best to replace the phone. Guess we'll see what happens. May still do the ROM you suggested once I get it though.
Bleeping bleep bleep phone! Someone in a different thread suggested HTC might be able to help with an issue like this. Only solution they gave was a hard reset so I finally did that on I think it was Thurs or Fri. Everything was dandy at first. Fast forward to today and I notice this evening that my phone had lost it's settings again and once more I can't get them back. I also notice that it ate my saved wifi networks again.
I have the refurb device AT&T sent and I suppose I will go ahead and try to use it. I just hate having to set everything up...again. It's really getting old. Could my SIM card be to blame?
Haha. Going to be attending the local WP Insider Circle thing next week. Maybe I'll get lucky and win a new phone.

KK3 modem.. galaxy s

Hello XDA!
I was reading up in the developer section, modems for phones- and been using ki3 and thought id try out the kk3. I get great service, speeds were about the same with the infuse version, but noticed my clock was 6 hours ahead so i flashed over to ki3 and same issue. Ive tried multiple modems, same issue and reinstalled octane still.. same issue- however i didn't perform a factory reset- maybe that could be the cure?I just don't want to loose all the programs etc.. not a big deal, but trying to get around that. A temp fix for this issue is untick/tick "Automatic network-provided values" in time settings, which gives a correct time and then leave setting unchecked. Its not the end of the world, but if anyone has any advise id appreciate it. I was hoping re-flashing octane would fix the time problem, live and learn!

KK3 modem is for Infuse 4g. Some Infuse 4G users use our modems with good results and the same with us.
I tried KK3, to me it's very good, didn't have issue with clock.
I'm not sure why its doing it.. If I do a factory reset with octane rom does it get deleted or certain files reset back to original settings?

Factory reset will just remove your user data. the modem is untouched by it

Not a big deal like i said, but I just want to turn my phone on and have the correct time. checked everywhere and only found issues when people flashed modems. I only experienced this problem after a i flashed to back to ki3 from kk3. Thoughts?

* 4 hour clock jump NOT present with date and time set to auto update from network as observed on my phone.
after not using the kernel im at 6 hours.. lol, im just hoping that maybe I can go to stock or something- but im guessing maybe some system file was changed and will have to live with it. Could be worse and bricked, I suppose.
What kind of phone do you have?
galaxy t959
do you have mock locations enabled in settings/applications/development?
Ive enabled Mock locations now and its fixed the Central time issue, but still jumps 6 hours ahead (central time) with a restart or check/uncheck. I can run in manual mode, my big deal is resetting my phone and setting an alarm lol, i'll just have to double check for the time being.
I'm not sure you wan't to have mock locations enabled that is for development. I think your phone sees you in a different location than where you really are.
I'm guessing so.. After 10 min or so it jumps, thanks for your help. I'll just have to manually set it.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
your time issues shouldn't be related to your modem I would try cycling your location settings (settings/location and security) that is the last ting that I can think of because it seems that your phone is always showing you UMT instead of your actual local time. after that I'm not sure what would be the reason.
what do you mean by cycling location settings?if you read my post earlier, it seems that when certain modems were used on infuse the clock jumped 4 hours, the same can be found in our modems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192436&page=11 and the infuse forum had issues with hours as well on certain modems

WiFi does not reconnect (Android Issue #58230)

EDIT BELOW:
Hey y'all, I recently got a Nexus 5 and I've been having issues with WiFi reception. I've read the other threads concerning the inability to connect, but I can easily connect to a wireless router the first time.
It's when I disconnect from one specific router and try to access another one that I run into issues. It simply hangs in Connecting, and then just reverts to Saved. The only way for the phone to connect to a router is for me to reboot it, in which case it does so quickly.
I was wondering if anyone had any insight into tackling this problem, or if it's an inherent software issue. This occurs both at home and at school, where I move from building to building (switch routers), but the login credentials are the same.
Thanks!
EDIT #2: I spoke to a Google rep a second time and they decided that since my factory reset did not fix the issue, they were sending me a replacement unit. I'll update this when I get the new unit and see if it still has the WiFi issue or not.
EDIT:So this issue seems to have garnered some attention in the 4.3 release of Android, and a handful of Nexus 5 owners have already reported the same issue (myself included)
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58230
(Sorry, I can't post outside links because I'm a new user)
So if you have a similar problem, feel free to star and add your own comments.
I happened to have the same problem......not sure if this is a hardware problem or not.

Ah, I see. Well, I've narrowed the process to simply toggling the WiFi on and off, rather than having to reboot the phone. It's still occurring though.
If I manually disconnect and then reconnect to a router however, this problem doesn't seem to happen. It's only when I exit a router's range that I have to do a WiFi on and off cycle.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Oh, and I notice that the perceived signal strength drops when I try to reconnect to my router. Again, toggling the WiFi on and off allows the Nexus 5 to immediately connect to the router.
I hope this is a software issue.

Hm..Toggling wifi on and off doesn't seem to work for me...It hangs in connecting for a few seconds and then goes back to saved... I still have to turn off/on the phone before it can connect to a different wifi hotspot..
I've got the same problem: switching wifi networks, from home to work and viceversa, my N5 doesn't connect. It needs a reboot.
Ciao.
I edited my original post with a link to the AOSP issue tracker concerning this problem. I also contacted Google concerning this and they just said to do a factory reset... To no avail.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
This evening, before entering home, I switch off WiFi, then I toogled airplane mode, I toogled WiFi on, and I got connection perfectly working.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Interestingly, when first resetting the phone, I had to toggle Airplane mode in order to reconnect. However, eventually I can just toggle WiFi and it works fine. I'm not sure where the change occurred, unfortunately.
Hopefully my replacement phone doesn't exhibit this issue. Will update this, as mentioned in the initial post, when I get it. I still think it's a software problem, however, since folks that had 4.2 and updated to 4.3 suddenly experienced this issue.
So I'm starting to have this EXACT problem myself. I have a very strong signal for my home wifi and it's basically dropping to poor when I try to connect. After displaying Connecting/Saved several times, it still fails to work. I have tried rebooting it several times, toggling wifi and airplane mode, to no avail. Funny thing is, my work and home wifi have been working perfectly prior to this.
It wasn't until tonight that I started to have any problems. I moved some files through USB, just some stuff from my nexus 4, rebooted about 15 minutes later, and I couldn't get wifi after the reboot. Weird.
EDIT: I've tried a plain factory reset, didn't work. I ended up flashing the factory image, still didn't work. I'm not sure how WiFi just STOPPED working for me. Contemplating an RMA... I really hope someone comes up with something, seeing as I have a perfect screen and none of the other defects listed before.
This may be a fix!
Hey guys, so I've been keeping up with two AOSP issue trackers
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58230
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61945
And in the second link (Issue #61945), scroll down to post #9 Ryan, and he details what he's tried in terms of doing a factory reset WITHOUT having Google automatically restore data and settings. I've documented my results trying this, and it seems (at this early stage of my testing) rather promising.
Like Ryan said, it seems like it's restoring some WiFi settings that may not play well with 4.4 (and maybe even 4.3 for those exhibiting this issue as detailed in the first link (issue #58230))
So here's what I did so that Google would not restore the WiFi settings. Unfortunately, this does mean you may have to manually reinstall your apps and re-input your data by hand.
What I did:
1. Go to Backup & reset
2. UNCHECK "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore"
3. Perform Factory reset
4. After resetting and prompted to do so, input WiFi router credentials to connect to WiFi
5. Skipped logging into existing Google account
6. Skipped making a new Google account
7. After reaching Android homescreen, I manually added my existing Google account
I have a feeling that steps 5-7 are unnecessary, but I did that just to make sure it wouldn't try to restore any of the data.
It's been working so far, but I haven't been able to test it out much since I'm a school currently and it has blanket WiFi coverage (difficult to go out of range). However, I will add that the signal seems stronger than before, AND it's more difficult to lose WiFi signal now than before. Like, nearly impossible here.
Let me know how it goes for y'all. Hope this works.
Oh, and perhaps try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer
before you do the factory reset. It may or may not work (one person said it did). I haven't tried it though, but if it works, it'll save you the trouble of having to do a factory reset.

I'm having the same problem, my connection is strong, but I can not reconnect to any network ... this is really annoying. I need you to help me with something: is there any way to eliminate all current wifi settings without making a factory reset?
I will wait for a fix until december, if not, I will send my phone to rma...
I ended up going with the bricked kernel and this issue has disappeared (at least for now). Been stable without any signal drops or wifi reconnect issues for solid 2 days. It is a record!

I have also seen this on my device that I just received on the 15th. The wifi seems to drop out and re-connect after a while... But, my other, older android devices do not show this issue. After reviewing the previous post about NOT restoring from google.. and creating a fresh install.. I am beginning to suspect if that was the case. I was hoping that keeping it stock and not messing around with kernels and roms was one of the best features of a nexus device. I really hope google provides an update to fix this.
So just a quick update. I didn't restore from Google on my second device and the WiFi had been fine for close to a week now.

yes, including stock
currently on stock

If anyone has gotten restricted access changed i know why

So I unlocked my boot loader and went crazy flashing everything from radios to logos to a ported 4.2.2 (thanks topsnake) and all was good untill a few days ago. All of a sudden i would lose data and call reception my bars would go grey with the circle with a line symbol on it. It would then turn back on then off then on, you get the point. Then it would be fine for a while bit start all over again.
So I fxz'd and started from scratch no dice still happening. I go to Verizon and got a new sim still happening. I just about smashed my phone when I tried Google one more time and found an obscure post in the nexus 5 board here at xda. Seems they have had this problem before but it was do to the sim tray or so they thought. One member ran a log cat and tracked down the culprit. It as a widget of all things transparent clock and weather. It seems this widget when updating location information using only GPS location (there is an option to turn off) deactivates your sim card. It's like turning airplane mode on then off over and over until it finishes the update.
I unchecked use GPS for location and no more restricted access changed messages. Hope this helps anyone with this problem there may be other apps out there causing this issue or it may be an issue with kk I don't know. The frequency of the problem is determined by the duration that you have set the app to update. I had it set for every 15 min. So it was driving me nuts. If you see this every few hours you may have it at a greater duration.
Very nice. Port is 4.4.2 lol. You still running it?

Actually not yet I thought it may have been when I installed your port so I went back to stock. But now that I know what caused it and you ironed all the little bugs I'm going to flash again tomorrow.
Sounds good!

I got the same problem today, for the first time on my Droid Maxx. Usually I do not reboot the Maxx for a long time, but due to recent rooting activities, the uptime was not much. And suddenly a few minutes ago, I saw the "Restricted Access Changed" message for the very first time.
I can see there are many users with the same issue on other Motorola phones in India, though. So this appears to be something common for Motorola.
I tried the GPS settings and it did bring the network back. I also tried selecting the other mode (default is Global) and select my service provider from the list, but registration failed. Finally I rebooted the device and the network came back. So, I am right now observing.
