Today I would like to talk about the Android operating system. Rather, about one of its important points, namely, the date. As it turns out, quite a few users do not know at all how to change the time and date on their devices based on the Android OS. I will tell you how to do it correctly.
The first thing you need to do is take a look at the desktop on your device. Find the "Settings" icon on it. If you do not see this, as it was in my case, it does not matter. You need to press the left touch button and select the "Settings" section.
After that, you will see many different settings in the menu. Find the subsection "Date and Time" among them.
When you go to this subsection, you will most likely see something like the following:
As you can see, the option to change the date and time is disabled. Why, you ask? But because these two parameters are automatically synchronized with the network. In order for you to be able to independently configure the parameters, go to the subsection "Date and time of the network" and put a tick next to the word "Off".
Now, as you can see, the date and time are active.
You can safely change the date to the one you need.
Please note that my example uses an almost pure Android OS. It is possible that some kind of launcher is used on your phone, but this does not change the essence.
Just in case, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the example of the Samsung Galaxy Note.
We go to the desktop, click on the right touch button and select the "Settings" section.
We get into the extended settings menu. Select the "General" - "Date and Time" tab.
Here you can set the required parameters. If they are inactive, uncheck the "Automatic detection" box.
It's no secret that Russian legislators, especially those sitting in the lower house of parliament, are very active guys and even though you don't pay them their salaries, let them issue various regulations. So, in the summer of 2014, parliamentarians took and adopted another law on changing time zones in the Russian Federation. In some regions, the time zone has not changed, but in some it has changed to a new one. But, many electronics manufacturers were not ready for such a turn, that in the fall the time suddenly took and changed.
Samsung was not ready for such a radical step either. Since even for its flagship S5, Samsung did not take care of releasing a timely update to the firmware with a corrected time zone. For example, in Moscow, the time zone from GMT + 4 has been changed to GMT + 3. What is this translation fraught with for users? And the fact that the harmonious planned course of the owner's life is immediately disrupted. All reminders, all appointments and even entries in the call log, in the blink of an eye move in space-time and guess at what time the reminder should be set so that it would work exactly when not every holder of a red diploma from a prestigious university can need it. And what can we say about others?
And while Samsung is slowing down with the release of the update, let's try to figure out on our own what needs to be done with the phone. sell and buy Nokia or iPhone, so that it normally displays the time and with the desired time zone.
Option 1. Automatic.
Option 2. Pretend to be a hose.
In the case when a cellular operator is so careless that it does not provide a reliable service in terms of time to its subscribers, then it is generally worth considering how expedient it is to continue paying such an operator. Well, in the meantime, there are thoughts, you need to manually set the actual time zone in the phone.
To do this, you must disable the functions of receiving the time, date and time zone from the mobile operator. To do this, go to the phone settings, then to the system settings and select the "Date and time" item. Here we remove the jackdaws from "Automatic time detection" and from "Autodetect. time zone ". And then, in the time zone selection menu, select the time zone of the area where, firstly, there is no transition to winter or summer time, and secondly, the required time zone operates.
Since the GMT + 3 zone operates in a new way for Moscow, and by default the GMT + 4 zone is hard-coded in the phone for Moscow, in order for the time to return to normal, you will have to choose, for example, Minsk, whose time zone corresponds to values \u200b\u200bnecessary for Moscow. For other regions, you need to act in a similar way.
And this method of changing the time zone is the surest and safest until a normal firmware update is released for the phone, in which this problem is solved by the manufacturer. Although purely aesthetically, when using someone else's time zone, not everything is clean. For example, when you send a calendar invitation from a phone, the recipient may be discouraged that you are in the Belarus time zone.
Other options are only suitable for advanced users, as they can easily turn your brand new S5 into just a bunch of silicon, glass and plastic. I warned.
Option 3. For the Jidais.
If you are a real computer enthusiast, then you probably already got root access on your phone. If you don't know what it is, then you don't need to read further.
The Android system, sharpened for use around the world, not only has built-in true multilingualism, but also the ability to use the phone with any time zone. Time zones are usually fairly constant and have not changed for decades. And it is for this reason that all data on the names of time zones, as well as their offsets from the zero time zone, are entered into a special database located in a protected section of the internal memory of the phone. And you can change it only either by updating the entire firmware as a whole, or having received root access, only change the data directly in this database.
So, root access is available and in order to replace the data in the database with time zones on the phone, you must use the free TimeZone Fixer program. When launched, the program determines the current version of the database installed on the phone and, if necessary, updates the values \u200b\u200bavailable in it. After completing the work, you need to restart the phone. Of course, you can change the database with the help of other programs also available from Google Play, as well as carry out all the manipulations completely independently using only standard tools.
After the reboot, the desired zone for Moscow (GMT + 3) finally appears in the list of time zones, and the correct zones for other regions. Select the desired (your) region, having previously not forgotten to turn off the automatic update of the time and time zone from the cellular network. And it seems that everything should be corrected and adjusted, but, alas, the Galaxy S5 runs on the Android 4.4.x system, namely in the family of these systems, for the sake of beauty or some other purpose, the time zones were registered in one more place. It is possible that similar behavior will be preserved in all future versions of Android.
Now, the time and time zone on the phone are displayed correctly, but the events in Google Calendar, the time of calls in the log and SMS in the folder with SMS are displayed incorrectly. The old time zone is used. The thing is that it is necessary to change one more file, in which, at the behest of not quite competent system developers, alternative values \u200b\u200bfor time zones are stored. To fix this, you need to do the following:
A. Copy the file located at /system/usr/icu/icu51dt.dat from your phone to your computer or to your phone's SD card. This can be done, for example, using Root Explorer or a similar program. Please note that the file is quite large, about 18 megabytes.
B. Download the resulting file to the website page of one of the fans of the operating system and wait until the end of processing. Download the processed file back. If the site is not available, then you need to look for already processed files specifically for your phone, or try to figure it out yourself with the ICU toolkit.
B. Copy the downloaded processed file from the site back to /system/usr/icu/icu51dt.dat. Make sure that the permissions for all groups are set to at least read mode. Restart your phone.
D. Enjoy the correct time zone, no time shift in the calendar, calls and SMS.
Afterword
In general, the term GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is somewhat outdated. The fact is that no one has been measuring GMT for a long time. The time of the British Empire is over, and GMT is over. Nowadays, UTC is used as the reference point. Although for domestic use, the difference is only in the name of the standards.
On the other hand, the behavior of both manufacturers, who leave their consumers to the mercy of fate, and cellular operators, who from year to year spit on their subscribers, not deigning to set up their networks in order to issue the correct time and the correct time zone, are simply outrageous and worthy. censure. This is especially true for companies that forcibly protect their phones with all kinds of security systems, which do not allow users to change the system parameters of their phones.

How is multitasking organized in Android?
Android apps are made up of several components. There are four types of components: Activities, Services, Broadcast receivers and Content providers.
Activities are a graphical user interface for a specific task. For example, an SMS app might have one activity to display a contact list, one to compose a message, and so on. Activity can be in one of three states:
1. Active or running - in this state it is in the foreground and interacts with the user;
2. Paused - located in the background, but visible to the user, for example, partially covered by a new activity;
3. Stopped - completely overlapped by another activity. But it still retains its state, although it is completely hidden from the user.
In the states Paused and Stopped - activity can be unloaded from memory. A situation may arise when the user, returning to the unloaded activity, would like to see it in the state in which he left it. This is possible if you call the onSaveInstanceState () method before unloading the activity, and call the onRestoreInstanceState () method during the restoration or creation of the activity. In this case, it is possible to save the current (at the time of unloading) state of the activity. You can draw an analogy with the hibernation mode in the operating system for the PC.
2. If you have root rights, delete or change the extension with the removal of all rights from the shutter.ogg and shutter_multiple.ogg files in the / system / media / ui / folder using the file manager.

What to do if the phone gets warm?
All electrical products heat up during operation. Electrical parts use current to operate and therefore heat up. The more current is consumed for certain functions of the phone, the more heating will be.
The phone can get warm for several reasons:
1. Functions that draw a lot of current are being used.
2. Malfunction in the mobile phone.
3. It is normal for your phone to become hot because electrical appliances generate heat, so Samsung always tests and verifies the temperature of the product while it is in use.
However, if you do not use any functions, and the phone heats up, then you need to contact a service center for repair.
