Date reseting in Solaris 7

I received a Solaris 7 machine (axmp quad-400) with NTP installed talking to a GPS card that no longer exists. When the computer boots the date is set to Dec 30, 2002 which is the date the drive was created (I�m assuming). When I set the date and time and reboot the date information goes back to this default info. I created a script in the RC2.D that displays the date and allows you to manually set the date. And an interesting thing happens:
If I set the date then reboot: RC2 script shows the correct date. But once cde starts the date is wrong.
If I set the date at the rc2 script it takes but then again once cde starts the date is back to default.
What would cause this? Where in the login processes could it reset the date? I changed the S74xntp to an X74xntp in rc2 to disable the time protocol daemon from running on boot, same thing.

Why do you say that NTP is installed? How is it configured? Nothing in the boot process should reset the date. I agree to change the prom battery no matter how old the machine is.

  • I have a replacement Note 3.  My Vodafone SIM, which worked fine in the original, fails in the replacement.  When I try to access Settings, the menu briefly flashes, then the phone reverts to the home page.  Will a Factory Data Reset fix this?

    Hi,
    I have a Note 3 and a Vodafone SIM that are not playing well together. 
    The history is:
    I got my Note 3 over 2 years ago.  We visited Italy 2 years ago and I bought a Vodafone sim at a Vodafone outlet.  Everything worked perfectly during that trip and a subsequent trip to France.
    Last October, I had to replace the Note 3 because the camera was failing.  I had insurance, so the insurance company sent me a refurbished Note 3. When I tried to use the SIM last December, the Note 3 had problems. When I put the SIM in and started the Note 3, the phone recognized the sim (but gave me an error that, according to Verizon, is spurious).  I could make phone calls but I could not access the data network.  In order to access the data network, you have to go into Settings. More Settings, Mobile Networks and set the Access Point Name.
    With the replacement Note 3, I cannot access Settings.  As soon as I try to access Settings (with the Vodafone SIM installed), the Settings menu appears and then immediately the home screen comes up.  After working with Verizon for over an hour, I was able to get into Settings and set the access point name by booting into Safe mode.  But as soon as I rebooted into 'normal' mode, Settings failed and I could not access its menu (to turn on wifi, for example).  There are a couple of other apps that did the same thing - but I cannot remember which ones.
    I have talked to Vodafone - they have no clue.  I talked to a Samsung rep I ran into at Best Buy, he thought the Vodafone SIM might be corrupted.  And now a Verizon tech I talked to last week thinks it is a firmware problem on the phone and I should do a Factory Data Reset.
    Have you ever heard of this problem?  What do you think might be causing it?
    Thanks for your help.

    On2CO,  I'm glad you have reached out to us today. Thank you so much for the very detail description on what is going on with the device. Sounds like there might be an issue with an application that might be causing these issues. The reason I say that is, when the phone is in Safe Mode you are able to access the Settings screens with no issues. While in Safe Mode that does block all 3rd party applications from running on the phone. I would suggest on trying to back up the device and perform a factory reset: http://spr.ly/6-182Vuo (you would want to make sure to uncheck Automatic Restore in step 3). Once the reset is complete try to see if you can get into Settings. Then, I would recommend on adding 3rd party applications back on to the device one by one to see if we can find what app might be causing this issue.

  • Time and date reset bug

    hu guys, recently ive been experiencing a time and date reset bug, sometimes when i open up my computer it says something like your date is set to (i forgot the exact date but the year is 2001) so i change it back to the correct time and date, im not sure how i got the bug, can anyone help me fix this problem, its beginning to be annoying. thanks in advance!!

    Sherwin,
    Those symptoms indicate that you need to get your backup (PRAM) battery replaced.If your computer does not retain parameter RAM (PRAM) settings when it is turned off, this generally indicates that the battery needs to be changed.;~)

  • Time/date resetting after shutting down.

    I have a 12" 867MHz PowerBook G4 that seems to give me the Time/Date reset error message. The display gives me a December 31st, 1969 date and after a few minutes, it reverts back to the proper time. Any ideas?

    Normally, this would be an issue with the internal PRAM backup battery, but 12-inch PowerBooks don't have one.
    Have you tried to reset your PMU? This article describes how to do it: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449.
    If that doesn't help, others in this forum have linked your issue to a dying battery. Have you noticed any decline in your battery life?

  • Changing date on a solaris system.

    Hi guys,
    one easy question.
    I need to change the time/date on several solaris servers running oracle 9.
    My question is if I need to stop the databases after doing the change or not.
    Is it going to affect in any way the normal working of the oracle system?
    Thanks in advance.
    MLN

    There is no need to stop Oracle-- it will immediately start picking up the new date.
    Whether changing the time & date will have a negative impact on whatever applications you are running, though, is something you would have to determine. If your applications are using SYSDATE to populate rows, and the application makes certain assumptions about the distribution of records over time (i.e. the most recent row has the latest SYSDATE, there is no more than x seconds between subsequent rows, etc) changing the OS time & date could foul up that logic. Generally, that's more likely to happen if you are setting the date back, but can happen if you advance the clock as well.

  • After factory data reset, Google calender won't sync

    Have completed TWO factory data resets on HTC Thunderbolt.  Once w/deleting SD Card and once without.  Still cannot get the calendar to sync past 30 days!  I asked Big Red about it and they told me an "in house" HTC programmer would call me.  That never happened and this was two weeks ago.  .  Can anyone suggest how to get my calendar back?

        Hi, Tweebolt!
    I'm sorry you did not receive that call back! I want to see your calendar working properly for you! When you go into Settings>Accounts & Sync>Gmail/Google> are you seeing Calendar sync greyed out or checked? If greyed out I've got some tricks I want you to give a try. What I suggest is going into Settings>Account, then creating a new Gmail account (this is nothing you have to keep, we're only going to use it for five minutes). Once created, go into the Accounts & Sync, select the new account and ensure Calendar is set to sync. Then go into your Calendar application, tap Menu>Settings>ensure your real Gmail account exists and add a new event. Next, you'll go back to Account & Sync, and you should have the option to check Calendar sync under the real Gmail account. Check it to initiate the sync. After all is said and done and the sync is complete, go under Accounts & Sync and remove that fake account you set up. I've been this jump start a Gmail account countless times, and its a lot of steps but takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Keep me posted!
    Thanks,

  • Re-installing Adobe PS Touch after a factory data reset

    I previously purchase PS Touch for my Acer A500 Iconia tablet.  After doing a factory data reset I went to the Play Store to download it again and they want to charge me another $9.99. I shouldn't have to pay for it twice.   What do I need to do?

    Hi,
    If you are sure that you are using the same Google account you should contact Google.
    You can always log in at Google Play with that account to see if it's still there and if it's still compatible with your device (minimum requirements is Android 3.1).
    Check the purchase mail receipt if you are unsure about which account was used.
    Thanks,
    Ignacio

  • What exactly happens when I do a Factory data reset?

    I want to revert my Xperia Active to the state where in it was how I bought it. All my added apps removed, all the default apps are reinstalled, the SD clear from any extra settings that other apps may have left behind while uninstalling. All in all I want to "reformat" it. Will Factory data reset do this?

    Question 1:
    Will the default apps on the Active (aka the SportyPalPro and friends) be reinstalled? I know that I can always redownload them from the market, but as i said, just like how it was bought. The Factory data reset displays a checkbox that says it would wipe out even the SD card. So what about that?
    Question 2:
    I followed this tutorial (http://androidforums.com/3529664-post5.html) to free up some load off my internal space. Does this have any gravity on the Factory resetting? In essence, I remapped Android to make it install the apps to SD by default.

  • Minutes are not resetting despite data resetting?

    My bill was paid in full, and on time. My cycle has reset, my data reset, but my minutes are still the same. Why is this?
    And yes, I have tried calling and I've received no such help from it.

    Me too. Whey always I need to wait at least two days for reset?

  • Droid SD & Phone Storage - Factory Data Reset?

    Will doing a "Factory data reset" erase my contacts and/or photos from my phone?

    None of us know. It has been going on for weeks. People are waking up to no contacts at all on their phone. But if I make changes and sync, I get a notice the sync was successful and nothing has changed.
    I have contacts where no matter what I do to get their BD correct, it is always changed back to another date. Tried on the phone and sync. Tried online and save, it immediately reverts to another date. I have even attempted to delete the contact and re-add her and her daughter, birthday still changes. Frustrating the heck out of me.
    So just be aware you may not get the contacts back automatically or correctly.

  • N81 clock and date reseting to 00:00 when restarti...

    My clock and date reseting to 00:00 every time when switched off. Tried firmware update, factory settings or a different battery. Any idea?

    When the Mac automatically goes in stand-by it should have a minimum of energy left for that tiny  clock&date. It never happened with my 2010 Macbook pro, even plugging the power chord after minutes.

  • Why does my time/date reset everytime my battery dies?

    I have a Macbook Pro and everytime the battery dies, the time and date reset to a random date. Anybody have any clue why?

    It's a no go. I have even tried doing a hardware test, and I can't even to get that to start.
    I need to go to a apple store. Report back later. Thanks for trying to help.

  • My iPod date resets to 1969 everytime I sync!  Help!

    Everytime I sync w/my iMac, my iPod date resets to 1969.  Then when I adjust the date, a thousand (seemingly) alarms fly up for all the events I've missed since 1969.... Help!

    Have you checked to make sure the Date and Time are set correctly on your iPod Touch?  Did you also make sure that the time zone was correct as well?
    I'm assuming the date, time, and time zone are also set correctly on your iMac?
    Have you tried restoring the iPod from a backup in iTunes to see if that helps?
