Is there a way to set the time somehow? Every time Im in a hotel or airport where the time is set wrong on their network, it makes the time wrong on my device. This makes me unable to stream videos from some services, and makes setting alarms and reminders useless. Ive already contacted Amazon multiple times about this issue, and they havent been able to fix it. Super annoying.
Able to synchronize the time and correct errors in time generated by incorrect network times using an app called ClockSync. It requires root though, and it worked for me.

For some odd reason my Touchpad can't connect to Google Servers which means I can't access market and many other applications I regularly use. I searched in Google and tried 4-5 different fixes to try get it work but seems like it's not connecting. The only other fix I've read that seems it will probably 100% work would be wiping data which I don't want to do Anyone have any ideas how I can get this to work?
Thank you.
Try setting ur time and date, mine was set to wrong time zone and wouldn't connect either but then I changed fixes my time and date and boom it worked!

Thanks! Such a simple fix. I was borderline about to reset my device, until I stumbled upon this and also realized that my device's date & time settings were reset earlier today for some reason.
Anybody know how to stop this ? The first few weeks of using my phone it was quite low but now it's sky high! Have had a Google and tried unsyncing everything, turned off background data, turned off back up and still it's getting worse! Any ideas ?

Looks like something is failing to sync properly and is stuck trying to do so. Have you had a look in your sync settings to see if anything is doing this?
My browser once got stuck in this state. Turning off the sync for it, going into the app settings and wiping cache and data sorted it.
Failing that, try Settings> Call Settings> Use Internet Calling, and check not settings in there are causing it.
Not left Wi-Fi hotspot on have you?
Try putting this on to find the culprit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.taosoftware.android.packetcapture&feature=search_result
Most of my synching is off and it's not on auto sync, but my internet calls was on to accept only internet calls ? Although an account isn't set up with it, but I did download Skype once at perhaps the same of this rise, have changed it to ask for each call and will monitor it!

Probably Facebook lol.. Act as account manager Toggle/Sync
Still eating it up today, what does that app do that you linked too ?

Hello,
This is driving me crazy.
I come from iOS. I could use my phone and it was only connecting to the internet when needed. Though I could still receive push notifications.
Now my problem is that my One keeps connecting to h+ whenever it feels like it.
For example I could be idle in the menu or exit an app or unlock the screen...and the damn thing would enable a connection, checking god knows what.
If I disable auto sync then the problem sorts itself but I guess I wouldn't receive any gmail or facebook notifications anymore.
I tried only checking gmail, chrome and fb under accounts and sync, but problem is still there. A real pain as I'm pretty sure it eats my battery by connecting often.
Ps : contacts are on the phone and I unchecked the box that allows user to get contacts from Google contacts.

Deleted.
Update : sync off doesn't fix anything.
Is there a way to see which program tries to connect ?

So I wiped everything, and installed Maximus, AHRD & Trickdroid one after the other to check things out. Always ending in a way that didn't please me. So I started to install app after app and checking between each install.
Things started to get messy when using ChompSMS. The damn thing seems to connect to the internet almost every damn time you send a message.
Then, I also saw that Blinkfeed needs to load images even though it's set to update on Wifi, so I removed every news feed just to make sure - problem solved for this one (not using it anyway).
Now, there's way more connections being enabled, so I'm pretty happy. Still a few but I guess that's ok. I will monitor them tomorrow upon rebooting the phone but so far, beside :
- Facebook (push)
- Google services (probably for hangout)
- Twitter (god knows what)
There are almost no "unexplained" connections anymore (only 2 remains, but I'm pretty sure they are OS related). I will probably check out a firewall tomorrow afternoon and see if I can configure it correctly, but seeing that there are quite a lot of core programs that needs to be able to go on the internet, that might prove to be a challenge.
But I'm quite happy with the way things are turning out. Goddamn ChompSMS...and if I disable internet access via a firewall, it won't be able to receive/emit MMS. So I'm back with the stock app for now (which lacks some iphone-sque smilies, and some emoji icons)
Many times I open google play and it says no connection retry, I just keep hitting retry and it usually works. On youtube however the same issue arises and I press retry and it does nothing, it says there's still no connection. I believe this is a wifi issue as I switched on my 4g and the video loaded just fine. Also sometimes on my PC I get some error that google doesn't have a valid certificate so I don't know if that's part of the problem as well. How can I fix it? Are there some router settings I should change?
Exact same problem here. For me it happens on wifi and normal data. .

I have the same issue and cant find a solution or at least the reason for it
I had the same problem and I think upon reading something in here, I deactivated the Autosync feature and couldn't replicate the problem. However, that was the source of another problem detected afterwards, as it would not push notifications to weather/mail/Blinkfeed. I would've thought having AutoSync on syncs everything under accounts by the default settings and having it off, you could manually set the sync for accounts separately and they would still work, but I haven't been able to set things up so as to avoid both issues. It's probably fixable by these means, though.
Is anyone else having issues with apps not being able to use GPS to find their location? Specifically, the weather extension from DashClock and Notification Weather Pro. Neither seems to be able to use just GPS to find my location. I must have network location turned in in order for them to work. That doesn't seem normal to me.

OK never mind, Notification Weather Pro seems to be working now. DashClock still can't find me though. Probably something wrong with DashClock.
edit: Yep, just DashClock. I installed it on my S4 Active and it's doing the same thing.
2nd edit: First post still stands. Upon Notification Weather's next sync, it lost my location.

Did this just happen yesterday? I had to turn airplane off and on in order for maps to find me and realize my tankcar was actually moving.

Well I installed notification weather yesterday, which prompted this post. I spoke with the developer of the app last night and he said it was designed to function that way. I'm going to assume the same is the case with DashClock. That said, I have zero issues with GPS or any other app that uses location, including Maps.

I've had this problem on my N4 and this phone so I don't think it's specific to this device. If I turn off network location and wifi so that it ONLY uses GPS, it takes so long to lock a location that I just saw forget it. I've had to leave the wifi/network location active basically to have any function of quick GPS polls for things like weather.
my first realization was when I did a factory reset for the hell of it the other day to see if it would help anything. By default network/wifi location was off. I opened up maps to let it load and adjust location settings and it gave me the old "enable network/wifi" jargon which I ignored and set to never remind me. I sat here for 5 mins and didn't get a lock. Turned those settings on and instant gps no problem.
If you figure it out, please update because i'd be really interested too.

The dev I spoke to last night said this is exactly why his app requires both GPS and network location to work. He said GPS takes forever to find your location whereas network location is near instant. That said, I don't think there is any solution because there isn't necessarily a problem. It's just the way it is. Now my question is does having network location enabled cause any more of a battery drain than just GPS?

That's the kicker. I feel like it's a double edged sword. Turning them off IMO would save battery since there is less polling and work being done. But at the same time, when something needs gps, it's going to take longer to get the gps lock which would be more battery. So i'm not exactly sure and haven't done any real world testing yet.
