My device time gets changed every time I connect it to my PC with Internet connection.My Local Time is (Tehran, Iran time = +3.30) and we have Summer Time Daylight saving change On March 21st and set back to normal Time on September 22nd.
Please help me to Disable its automatic time changing.
The reason this is happening is probably because your device and the computers think they are in different locations on the map, so the time changes every time you sync. I had the same problem. My comp's regional setting was to Thai and my device's was set to India. Once I set the computers location right it was fine.
Thank you
I was facing same problem. Laptop was on US time zone and I mobile in india . Resolved. Thanks

The time zone keeps changing. I using the 2.3 ROM. I keep resetting it and it resets itself. My Today screen shows appointments off by an hour (I am in the Eastern time zone) but when you select the appointment the calendar shows the correct time. Madding.
What is going on that allows the time zone to revert to Indiana?
It's the new feature of Auto-timezone setting. Just uncheck it. It always default to Indiana after reboot. If your time zone keep changing, it's likely one of the cell tower near you has incorrect time zone setting.
Do a search on automatic time zone update.
Cingular doesn't know how to set the time zone properly on its towers.
It's a known issue.
If you had searched you would have found the answer because it's been answered about 1000X times already. It's a known issue that some towers broadcast the wrong time zone.
Go to start > settings > phone > time zones tab and disable the "auto update time zone & date" function.
Your device will sync with your PC's clock at next sync anyway.
Thank you very much including the scolding. I've spent alot of time scouring this forum and others and never saw that was an issue. Thanks again.
Google calendar seems to have the wrong time zone for my events.
I searched this forum for "time zone" and didn't see anything relevant.
I am located in Boston. I just double-checked my settings on the google maps website and confirmed that my time zone is set to Eastern Time (GMT-5).
On my G1, I went into the date/time settings and confirmed that it is on automatic. Presumably the towers in the Boston area know that they're in the Eastern time zone.
However, when I go to the calendar app on the phone and bring up an event, it has the right "time" (that is, if I set it for 7-8pm Eastern on the website, it shows up as 7-8 on the phone, not shifted) -- but it says the time zone is "America/Detroit" (which would be central time or GMT-6.
So what the heck is going on here? How can I fix it?
Thanks
EDIT: I just discovered that if I uncheck automatic and manually choose "Eastern" it shows up as GMT-4, not GMT-5. Wait a minute, now I see what is going on. The time change was last weekend. Is it REALLY possible that Google's servers don't know that Eastern is now GMT-4 since we "sprang forward" last week? It's been a while since the daylight saving date changed.
I hope for google's sake that they know about the time change... It could be a bug, my phone hasn't had any problems, I'm from ny. I think if u have it set to automatic time that shuld be updated by ur provider n not google,
thanks!

Hi!
Thanks for posting! I had this same problem over here in Portugal. After mannually setting the timezone it's fine again.
Kudos!
min says America/Detroit also... i wish it didn't... but it doesn't bother me i guess.
I can't tell when it started happening, but my N1 has been showing the wrong time for a couple of weeks now, in that time I've been abroad to Spain & upgraded to Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 which has caused a time zone change and an OS upgrade, it still shows 2 mins slow.
I have set it to pick up the time from the network operator, O2, I can't believe that they don't have accurate time.
I don't really want to have to set the time manually, anyone got any ideas ?
Believe it or not, I have exactly the same problem.
I noticed it because we used to have our alarm clock ringing at the same time with my girlfriend, and I am now 2 or 3 min behind.
Weird!
Just found and tried this, works well. (fixed my 1.6 second difference)
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/ntp-client-root-only_goiu.html
I had to change the ntp server to:
pool.ntp.org (same port 123)
This works but doesnt set your time, but has a nice gui.

The time should automatically be set by using the network carrier's clock. This was the default for me - Did your setting get unset?
Settings -> Date & Time -> Automatic (network provided values)

No, it was still set to get the time from the network, but was 2 mins slow, consistently.

I will check out the NTP client, but it doesn't explain why the time coming from the network is 2 mins slow, that is just odd.
I am in T-Mobile, not O2
I'm in the mountain time zone and always had my phone automatically get the correct time from my provider but this morning I noticed it had not rolled the time back for DST. In the date and time settings if I select automatic it changes my time zone to central for some reason.
I've tried uninstalling the weather and clock widget I have. I've also restarted the phone multiple times and what's interesting is when it first boots up it shows the correct time until it gets a signal and updates the time from my provider to central time. I've also tried turning on location via wifi and GPS does lock me to the correct location.
Running stock 2.1 with root and OCLF on Bell i-9000m (unlocked and using on Telus). My other phones all show the correct time.
I want to sync my PC time with my samsung note, but I do not know how, I only found " Automatic date and time" which syncs my date and time to my network provider. but the problem is that the time is not correct on my network provider. My previous phone is an windows mobile which automatically syncs date and time to my pc whenever i plug it in to my pc.
You can turn off "automatic date and time" and enter date and time manually

Thank for the reply! Yes I can do it manually, but I really wanted to sync it with windows time, Lets just say that I want to have my phone to have exactly the same precise time as my other gadgets to the last second. hehe.
BTW, I also experienced my phone resetting the date and time when i remove the battery for just 2-3 minutes in order to avoid this. i need to put back the battery as soon as possible when i remove it. is this normal?
