I moved this from the Ambassador Guides forum on the S23 forum.
Is there a reason why you're not using the automatic date and time option based on the cellular network? Or do you not have a SIM card inserted?
What is Brookdales?
1st off Brookdale is the senior assisted living home where I am living now. Not that I need much assistance anyway. And the house wi-fi is the only way I can connect to the internet right now with the phone's network not working. right now. I dropped my old phone on the sidewalk and cracked the screen that's why I just got a new phone in the mail on Monday. 2nd about manually setting the time and date. 1st the time was set to some where in China and the network isn't working. I can't receive or make ANY calls, the hot spot isn't working ether. Also I can't get into my primary or 2ndandry email address to finish setting up the phone. As long as I don't change the "Use this app password to sign in" setup for an off line mail reader called Dream Mail I can send and receive emails from my primary email address. But I can't get into ether the primary email address at Gmail or the 2ndary email address at Gmail via Firefox or Google Chrome. And Google keeps telling me I have to wait 30 days before they will send me a temp password. So I am stuck.
BTW the SM card is in the phone. Question is all of my stored phone numbers and other info stored on the SM chip? I have 2 SM chips. Maybe I have the blank chip in the phone?
YEAAAA I finely got the phone 100% working. I had put in the blank SM chip. I just put in the working SM chip and I just received the G codes for the Google verification codes to reset my Google password and I just tested the out going call by placing a call to main number to the Walla Walla VA hosp and I got the hosp's recording saying I reached the Walla Walla VA hosp. The mobile hot spot is now working 100%. BUT I lost all of my saved phone numbers and files. But I do have a partially saved set of numbers on the back up HDD in a USB case. It isn't all lost and I did save all my files to the same HDD.
