[Q] Note 10.1 Time Sync?

Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out how to synchronize the time on the Note 10.1. The clock is off by two minutes, and there's no obvious option to update/sync the time.
Vanilla android had the Automatic date and time option available, but it's missing in Touchwiz.
Help??

Hi,
I'm using ClockSync from PlayStore.
You need root to actualy be able to sync system time on Android.
Cheers

Yep, clocksync is he way to go, if you don't want to root, clocksync has a rootless mode but it is plus or minus 30 secs...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm un-rooted... and possibly not rooting for a while.

I'm on the Canadian N8010, on 4.0.4. That automatic time and date is not present.

What do you see for time settings? Is it not present, or just grayed out?

As the Canadian JB OTA has started rolling out you might see it but I believe that the menu from above is for the N8000 3G model. It gets the time updated from the carrier network though I use it on another phone I have that has no sim too.
Again though it has the capacity to put a sim in it.

True, but I swear IIRC the WiFi-only N8013 I'd first tried out to evaluate the Note 10.1 with also had an "Update Time Over Network" option (as it's possible to set the time via "NTP", which runs over any network connection type).

I Just stumbled on this thread whilst researching this same issue.
It does appear that the stock N8010 (wifi) 4.1.2 lacks the automatic date/time option.
This is a real pain, as my Note 10.1 looses about 1/2s a day and this option is available in stock android for wifi tabs.

I have 10.1 Wifi and 10.1 3g here and Samsung did not put this feature in 10.1 Wifi. strange and stupid.

It's worse than that, they must have actually removed it, as it's present in stock android for wifi only tabs.
And as I found out this morning, it also means it doesn't adjust for daylight savings automatically.

It will adjust to Daylight Saving if you change the timezone to be London, Dublin (assuming you are in the UK) rather than GMT (which mine had seemed to default to).

Chrome Tab Layout Issue

Hello there! I recently acquired a 3rd generation Moto G. However I've run into a few issues. My tab switcher appears to be stuck in "accessibility" mode; a weird tab switcher that uses the old holo UI. Here is a picture of the problem:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I checked chrome://flags and the accessibility tab switcher setting is not even on. Toggling on/off doesn't seem to change anything.
I also have no animations for opening the drop down menu, or opening the tab switcher. Pressing any of the UI buttons simply instantly opens the menu, as if I had battery saver on (which I don't). I've tried the dev and beta versions of chrome, and they also exhibit the same problems. Clearing cache, reverting to the factory version of chrome, etc... all don't seem to fix the issue.
I am running Android 5.1.1, with chrome 44.0.2403.133.The phone is the 1gb RAM/8gb storage version. I did some other research and found someone who had the same problem a few years ago, but on a Samsung phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490353
Please help!

I'm really surprised there are no replies to this thread. We can't be the only two people with "Merge tabs and apps" turned off.
I'd like to know if this issue is present just on the 1GB models or all 2015 models?
Running an XT1540 here with the latest 5.1.1 firmware from Bell.

Thank you so much for posting - I was beginning to think that I was the only one in the world with a bugged phone!
I actually purchased the phone at Best Buy in the states, but I am using it in Canada. Do you think that has anything to do with the issue?

I highly doubt it has anything to do with *where* you operate the phone.
It's likely a firmware or Chrome specific setting for 1GB devices running Lollipop.
It's good to know you purchased yours in the US and have this issue. I can rule out it being specific to Bell issued firmware.

Yes, that's what I thought as well. The accessibility tab switcher was originally meant for low memory devices, so I'm assuming something got triggered in chrome and flagged our Moto Gs as low ram offenders.
Kinda funny, given how chrome runs just fine on more budget orientated devices like the Moto E, but gives up on the newest Moto G!

i have noticed the same problem the 1st day i have used chrome.. i just installed firefox .. as i dont use chrome which lacks in addons

I went ahead and opened a ticket with Chromium: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=525745
It would be nice to verify if 2GB users are also affected.
The issue should likely be raised with Motorola/Lenovo as there's another bug ticket that may be related:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=519996

I can confirm that my 2GB Moto G3 16GB is NOT affected.
hope your issue gets solved.:good:

I remember someone said something about Moto G 1GB model having a low ram parameter enabled in build.prop. Chrome may be using this to conserve memory. I have 2gb and don't have this issue.

v8s10 said:
In the build.prop, ro.config.low_ram=true If set to false chrome tab layout is normal, tried it on my 8gb/1gb ram model. Do so at you're own risk, i have no idea if editing this will cause any other problems, working fine for me so far...ymmv.

White Light - the simplest "flashlight" app (free)

The app turns the screen white, cranks up the brightness to 100%, and keeps it this way until the user presses the back or home button. The display of the Gear S2 can actually get pretty bright, producing enough light to see everything in a 4 x 4 meter room. Here is the source code:
Code:
<html><body style="background-color: #ffffff;">
<script>
tizen.power.request("SCREEN", "SCREEN_NORMAL"); // won't work properly without this line
tizen.power.setScreenBrightness(1);
setInterval(function(){tizen.power.request("SCREEN", "SCREEN_NORMAL");}, 10000);
window.addEventListener('tizenhwkey', function(){tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().exit();});
</script>
</body>
</html>

Off topic:
This is my most popular app by far (2,610 downloads since Mar 29, 2016). Surprisingly, only 7 people rated the app. I was wondering why I don't see the comments on the app store page, and it turned out they only show comments that were posted by users who live in the same country (I live in Canada and no one from Canada rated the app, hence no rating). That's why if you live anywhere but USA and Germany most apps in the app store will have no rating, which is stupid :silly:

install hangs
hi - I've tried to install your app on my gear s2 classic but it hangs at the 100% mark. I know some installs can take a bit of time - the longest I waited was 10 minutes though which I think should be sufficient? Can you lend any advice to what the issue might be? thanks! :fingers-crossed:

I would factory reset the watch (there is a quick reset option), because the problem is not in the app/apps. 7000 people installed the app so far and no one complained.
If you are not installing from the app store, make sure you have this line in the config.xml:
Code:
<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/power"/>

Finally a flashlight app that stays on if you move your arm. (auto wake). love it, will rate you. #Belgium

Great app, thanks a lot for sharing
I have just one little issue with it: leaving the app will not reset screen brightness to the original value

Thank you! The next update (coming some time next week) will fix this issue

The update has been submitted to the app store and is awaiting approval (usually 2 days). Here is the updated code:
Code:
<html><body style='background-color: #ffffff;'>
<script>
tizen.power.request('SCREEN', 'SCREEN_NORMAL');
originalBrightness = tizen.power.getScreenBrightness();
function terminate(){tizen.power.setScreenBrightness(originalBrightness); tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().exit();}
tizen.power.setScreenBrightness(1);
setInterval(function(){tizen.power.request('SCREEN', 'SCREEN_NORMAL');tizen.power.setScreenBrightness(1);}, 10000);
document.addEventListener('tizenhwkey', terminate);
document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', terminate);
</script>

From the app store.

I'd like to have this when I get a Gear S2

How to find in app store
Hi
Sounds like a useful app. I search for "white light" in apps store but only find one for phones.
How can I find the app for the s3 gear?
On the watch I found an app called torch. Is that it?

Hi Eveman,
I have not released a version for smartphones, so the apps you found must have been developed by someone else.
If searching under GEAR tab in Samsung Galaxy Apps store brings no results, I can only suggest trying it again in a few days. Once I tried searching for my Always-On apps and it brought no results, tried again later - and it worked.
Please let me know if that helped.

I have the app, thanks works great. Do you know the shortcut I would use in GWD to make it a button (like com.samsung.weather is for weather)?

Hi andrewtac, thank you very much for your feedback! Try this and let me know how it works: 55V5m8QGTw.WhiteLight

Thanks, worked! New to the watch, love it. Especially showing it off to my apple buddies.

I cannot find this app in the Play store for Android anywhere. Can you put a link up so I can use this flashlight app. I love this app and my new pixel 7 pro didn't copy it. I'd like to have this app on my phone because it works and that's all it needs to do. Pixel 7 pro and everything thereafter is going to be 64-bit architecture, so update it to that and please put a link here so we can get the thing.

You must be confusing it with some other app, because this app was developed only for smartwatches running Tizen OS (that is, Samsung watches released before 2021). I might develop a Wear OS version of the app some time in the future, though there is already a built-in "flashlight" app that works pretty well.

Nah its just that annoying multi app screen, The app pops up when installed which makes me think its the accelometer.

Doing a Google search for it I don't see anything for Launch Manager other than a 3rd party app for the app circle with all your apps. No aftermarket apps installed?

Crazy. I do believe you can do a hardware test by going to Settings -> Gear Info -> About Device -> Tap Software version ( 5 times ) -> Magic
Check All Hardware ( Sensor, speaker, Echo Test, Camera) – *#0*#

That just brings up a full screen green keyboard.

Which watch face do you have installed? This looks like a stupid pop up ad from some stupid free app...

Weird, something definitely up. I would investigate getting a replacement. "green screen" is one of the color tests but the keyboard is gray with white characters. Scrolling up and down displays different tests.

Favorite S7/Edge 7.0 Nougat Feature

Now that 7.0 is public, I'm curious about everyone's favorite additions. This may shed some light on features that may otherwise go unnoticed. My personal favorite by far; The U.S. keyboard finally has sub-symbols! The U.S. models had this at launch, but the Exynos models, for whatever reason, never had it, and required root to access it.
So what feature are you most grateful for?

The LCD Settings in the Developer Options

Has anyone found the Easter egg yet? And I don't mean where you tap the Android version multiple times either.
I'll give you a clue you can edit the quick settings buttons And take a look there.

much more satisfying than a flappy bird ripoff.

wished there was a hide apps feature like on kitkat

I love the double tap recent button to jump between two apps back and forth.

Probably my favorite feature is the Neko easter egg, I have three so far.
-The DPI, Screen res and the edition tools for the screenshot are nice too.

The blue light filter.
...or, at least it will be once Nougat arrives in Canada.

Definitely performance mode and battery life. But I'm really missing cover art on the lockscreen.

If anyone is posting something they like, it might be handy if you also post how it's done.
Just in case some aren't familiar with it.
I had a note 7 for a while, and the camera app was great. Glad to see the same one here.

Type *#1234# in your dialer and check the CSC. If it contains BTU then your unbranded device is direct from samsung but if it is XEU then it's from a 3rd party and you may have to wait longer for the update.

EVR means it's EE branded so you will have to wait for them to release unless you flash a stock BTU ROM.

Thanks for that. This is why I started the thread. I just learned a new trick.

My favorite feature :
-Blue light filter
-Plug headphone jack while screen is off to turn a part of screen on.
- Double tap recent button to switch to previous app
- Reduce screen resolution
- Change theme and icon separately
- Create GIF in Video player.
Btw: Does anyone know how to feedback to samsung about the latest update ? I wanna bring picture resolution changing button back while using the camera.
