Cannot login because of the "time check error"

[pzhg]

Samsung Galaxy tab P1000
Android 2.2
The ubuntu one files App complains that "Time check error: Failed to adjust time. Is your device set correctly?" after it starts. I cannot login. I have tried every solution including clearing the user data and changing the "date & time" setting to "Automatic".

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you for coming here and reporting/confirming the issue.

Could you please try with this APK:

http://goo.gl/EX1nh (QR code: http://goo.gl/EX1nh.qr )

This got us by surprise, I'm not definitely sure what the problem is. I cannot reproduce that on 2.3.3 HTC Desire Z nor couple of emulator setups. I've fixed the crash, which essentially will show the dialog that time check failed (so not much), saving a preference so changelog does not appear automatically more than once. Still, time check problem is the one I'm most interested in.

Thanks for testing!

[GoncaloP (goncalop)]

Michał Karnicki,

Thanks for the quick response. Still, after installing the APK, I'm still having problems with Ubuntu One Files. First I get a "Time check error" popup. If I try again, it appears again. If I hit cancel, I get the "Temporary problem" popup. There, if I hit "Ok", it will show the first one again. If I hit "Cancel", it will exit the app!

Just my experience, though.

Hi again everyone,

So the problem is here:

com.ubuntu.sso I Could not check time drift: Unparseable date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:10:54 GMT

To me, that constitutes a parsable date, which can be checked with this code:
https://pastebin.canonical.com/55639/

I'm a tiny step from assuming it's an Android bug.

[Michał Karnicki (karni)]

SimpleDateFormatter called with Locale.ENGLISH does parse the date correctly. Sorry guys, and expect the fix soon. (Most probably today.) Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again for great support.

[pzhg (pzhgrsrs)]

The fix works well. Thanks a lot !

[Michał Karnicki (karni)]

@pzhg
Thanks for dropping by and letting me know!

[Maicon Douglas de Souza (stmaicon)]

I am not allowed to enter on your link. On this link have same fix?
Thanks!

[Maicon Douglas de Souza (stmaicon)]

Using Android in english I can use normally, but in portuguese of Brazil this error dont fix. Thanks for all

[Michał Karnicki (karni)]

@Maicon 1.0.4.1 is on the Android Market, please update. Yes, it was a localization issue (date should have been parsed with English locale).

[Maicon Douglas de Souza (stmaicon)]

Ok.
I have alread updated him. I choose english language, logged and choosed poetuguese again. It works perfectly.

Thanks for your nice work!
Sorry for my english.

[Michał Karnicki (karni)]

With the last fix, you need not to change language to English before you log in. That's exactly what we've fixed :) We are happy it is working for you again!

[Alejandro (scasbyte)]

Got the same problem even after installing the patch by Karnicki on Huawei IDEOS (not sure which specific model) Android 2.2 in English.
Detailed steps:
-Start Ubuntu One File (after last fix)
-Message shows "Time check error - Failed to adjust time. Is your device time set correctly"
-"Try again" button leads to the same message
-"Cancels" button leads to message "Temporary problem - At the moment we can't verify if your device's time is correct. Please try again later"
Does someone experiences the same?

[Sergey (litvin05)]

Also affects to me, (latest CM7)

[Michał Karnicki (karni)]

Sorry it's not working for you Alejandro, Sergey. That's quite frustrating :< I'll have another look after holiday.
