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

Hello....just downloaded xelencin 2.24 ROM couple of days ago and ran into a problem with my calendar. All my appointments seemed to have shifted one hour earlier!! :x I've already enabled my time zones in the settings menu...what else is there to do?
disable the auto time zone ... it'll will solve the one hour problem ... but I had other calendar problems with this ROM, see page 3,4 on this thread:

Well documented problem (especially with Cingular) where the network towers are reporting the wrong timezone.
DIsable Network Time Sync and then change the timezone to your correct TZ.
Thanx a bunch!!! Once I disabled the time zones..and went back into setting my clock back at the right time...NO MORE PROBLEMS with my calendar and appointments
How do you disable the auto Network timezone?
How do you disable the auto Network timezone?
settings: phone: time zone
uncheck the box
I'm on T-Mobile in Colorado and it keeps changing me to AZ time zone when I have the box checked. Maybe I'll call Tmo and complain...it would be nice if they fixed it.
sorry for the double post
I am in Denver CO in the US also, I just unchecked the box and reset my phone the timezone stayed WOOT thanks guys.
I have noticed the following time related problem with my AT&T tilt. Yesterday, it was showing incorrect system time: approximately 2 hours 20 min off. I then synchronized it with my PC via active sync. Today it was 5 min off (compared to the same PC), which is too much for one day. I have searched the Internet to see if anybody has experienced a similar problem and could find only that similar things happen when you “lock” the phone – which I don’t do.
Does anyone know why this might happen and how to fix it? I am not sure if it is a software or a hardware problem, as I have installed some software on the phone.
Also, I was thinking to find a program that would run in the background and once in a while, say every 4 hours, would automatically sync time with the network time (I’d rather not use programs that sync time via internet) – could somebody provide a link to something like that?
i noticed the same thing. maybe its a problem with the network because don't these phones sync times to att? anyway i just changed it and it syncs with the time on my comp.

I have the same problem. What did you change? My TyTN II displays the wrong time, is there a setting to have the clock synched by GPS? Thanks!
There is an option in the Phone setting to sync the time from network, that fixes the whole problem of moving betweeen time zones and everything. Keeps my time accurate.

Thanks! That's the setting I had to DISABLE to keep my time accurate. The time on the network I'm on is off by 7 minutes, and that was driving me crazy.
weird thing happened to me today. the time at the top randomly changed from digital to analog! now i cant figure out how to change it back. i did a soft reset but it stayed the same. how do i change it back to the digital display? thanks.
edit: figured it out
I have been running weather panel for about a month now, and suddenly within the last week or so, the updates have stopped working. no changes in ROM or Radio, and the issue wasn't concurrent with any software changes.
It will update fine if the wifi is on and connected, but it will not update if I am using the phone data connection. Any ideas?
For now, I just connect wifi a few times durring the day and manually run the update, but I would love to get the "every 30 minutes" update working again without leaving the wifi connection up all the time.

if you didn't change anything than that is sort of weird how it just stopped working. For me it started happening when i was flashing different roms.
Nonetheless check out the link for my 4shared account in my sig and under the cab folder download the htc home proxy patch cab and see if that solves your problem as i makes it update fine for me.
What carrier are you on? I'm on ATT and I had to change from Media Net to MyISP or whatever under connection settings in order to get the weather update to work. This was after applying the WM 6.1 update. It may be that AT&T has started blocking that functionality via the Medianet proxy.
Info I should have posted but didn't:
AT&T
Tilt Running Dutty's build 19209 6.1 ROM
Radio 1.64.08.21
Using the My isp connection settings
Again, wifi works, radio data connection doesn't. When on WP's about screen, with wifi connects and auths, with regular data connection, connection is ok, auth fails.
On other thing that needs to be made clear - I'm talking about weatherpanel the app from marsware, not the weather tab in the HTC home plugin.

No problem, once I realized you were talking about the HTC Home weather tab, I saw that I had not made it clear. Unless you used weather panel and knew what it was, it was easy to misunderstand what I meant.
WP Auth
I take it that you are using an updated version with the authorization fix in it because it sounds like you know what you are talking about. But ur issue must be rom related as I am using a tilt with stock rom and my WP is updating itself every hour and establishing its own connection. im still old school with storyr's chameleon theme and still loving it.

I do not use My ISP but it works fine on MediaNet. I am using the WP_Trial08_Fixed and have installed the modified dll and Weatherpanel fix cab for the hourly temp updates. I update every 30 minutes without issues. Do you have the "Establish Connection" checked in the Connections? I have also noticed that some of the themes have a sort of delayed update. The data downloads but only after you have activated the phone do you see a refresh of the data after about 10 - 15 seconds.

I don't think its the ROM as I have been using this ROM for well over a month and the not updating issue just started last week. I may do a hard reset and reinstall and see if that gets it going again.

Yep, establish connection is checked. Its not a delay issue either, it works solidly on wifi, but with wifi off (using the phone data connection) it fails completely. Like I said above, I think I may hard reset and see if that fixes it. I was just looking to see if this had happened to anyone else and/or if it was a known issue with a simple fix.
Well, Hard reset didn't work, still wouldn't authenticate over the phone data connection. I finally got tired of messing with it, and just set it to authenticate itsself.
http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=337
This seems to have fixed the problem, I figure the battery drain for the http server is probably offset by the savings for not having to transmit the auth. I'll watch battery drain and system speed over the next few days.
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.
Hi,
Not sure if anyone got this problem.. but I bought my phone from Kogan.com.au and the version of my LG seems to be for Taiwan (of course got English language etc)... but problem is, whatever I do with timezone, whether I set it Manually, or Automatic from Network, every time I restart the phone it goes back to Taipei timezone! It's annoying as I have to go in settings and set it again.. Although I did find a work around using an app that will set the time zone at boot, but still.. when I reboot the phone it boots up with Taipei time, then after few seconds the app will correct it.
I even edited the build.prop to reflect AU not TW regions.
I assume flashing a different rom might fix it, but I spent a full day setting up my phone, really don't wanna start over again, and I'm hoping it might be just a system file that needs editing.
Thanks for your help
Strange, I've found this issue can happen when a phone is offline at boot, but if you're connected to a network the phone should correct time and time zone at boot, perhaps your network is not providing these values correctly?
Sent from my LG-P880
If I go in date and time, and disable and re-enable the automatic time zone it then gets the right one from the network.. so it's definitely not the network.Also on my old phone I get the right time (same network) and my gf gets the right time (same network also).. all android phones.

Perhaps you just don't have a connection when it polls for an update at boot, my desire s used to have this sort of problem
Sent from my LG-P880
Even if I set time zone to manual, not automatic.. it still resets to that time zone.
Anyway of making it poll again after reboot when I have connection?

Only manually as far as I know
Sent from my LG-P880
Ah damn it. I even tried to look up apps on the market.. but I could only find one.. but it uses NTP and you manually have to set timezone.. it sets the right time zone after like 5 seconds after bootup.. which is not so bad... but still, would be good if it worked out of the box.
Thanks for your help anyways!
I have the same issue, running the same firmware (v10d) for Taiwan. I suspect we're using the same app (ClockSync) as a workaround as well.
I also suspect that flashing a firmware for Europe or some other region may fix it, but I am in the same boat as you; I spent a bunch of time setting up my phone and don't really want to do it all over again. At least not yet.
Yes. That's the app. Works for me for now.. maybe when JB comes out.. I'd be willing to flash it, but for now, it does the trick.
If you ever find an actual fix (aside from flash), please let me know. Thanks.
I have this exact same problem with the Taiwan v20b (the correct one for my phone).
problem solved

Hy guys.
I had the same problem. After days spent trying to solve it, i got it. The problem was from some apps, that were installed. I removed them, i checked automatic date and time, automatic time zone, and after reboot, the problem dissapperd. The apps that did that are: facebook, facebook messenger, yahoo messenger. there could be other apps that could do that, but those apps, did it to me. Sorry for my english. Please post, if solved. Thanks!

I have the same problem with my P880. Clocksync Fixed it for time being. Hope someone can find what is causing this.
