My clock has been keeping quite accurate time on Android 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 (not sure about 2.1, since it's only recently that I am saddled with a network provider that does not do NITZ). Since Gingerbread OTA, though, it seems that it's losing about 30 seconds or so per day.
Has anyone else seen this? There are previous reports of this issue for Galaxy S and MDA but not for Nexus One, and all the other threads predate Gingerbread.
Thanks!
yes, I can confirm this. The clock lags 30 seconds or more per day. I put it in the dock when I go to sleep to charge overnight.
I also confirm this.
I can also confirm this is happening on my nexus one running stock 2.3.3
My clock has been almost useless since Gingerbread and the switch to daylight savings. Before daylight savings, it worked perfectly when set to get the time from the network. Last summer on daylight savings it also worked fine, and Froyo handled the switch to standard time with no problem.
Now, if I leave it set to get the time from the network, it will eventually go way off. The time zone changes at some point to Western Argentina Time, when it should be Atlantic Daylight Time. The time will go behind by an hour, and then drift away more and more. The lock screen and clock app will show one time while the status bar shows another, and one or the other of these will not update as the minutes go by. These issues make alarms unreliable and worthless.
Rebooting the phone puts it all back the way it should be. Time zone goes back to Atlantic Daylight Time and the clock is set correctly. Then at some point later in the day, it'll go stupid again. If I turn off setting the time from the network, these problems don't happen, but then the clock will drift and be behind by 10+ minutes after a couple weeks.
So far, my solution has been to leave network time off, and occasionally turn it on just long enough for the clock to sync, then shut it off again. This is extremely frustrating.
Yeah, I have this on the latest stock N1. But, mine is slightly different. The time set from the network is 2mins behind GPS time. If I set the time manually, then hit the network time button it will drop 2 mins back. Doesn't do this on a Blackberry I have on the same network.
I thought I'd come back to this thread to report that my clock issues so far appear to be resolved after updating to 2.3.4 (manually via amon_ra + su zip to keep root).
I changed it back to set the time from the network yesterday, and have yet to experience any of the weird behaviour or lagging I mentioned in my previous post. Normally I would've seen something by now. I didn't see this mentioned in any of the bug fixes for 2.3.4, but so far so good...
I hope the update helps you guys out too.

This is one I havent encountered before but apologies if its been reported already. I couldnt find an obvious thread.
I have noticed recently that my Kaiser is not keeping time - quite dramatically so!
When I turn my device on from standby, the clock is often 20, 30 mins or even hours behind.
I have tweaked the hell out of it recently so I am quite sure it is related to something ive done as it hasnt happened on previous builds.
I am using synchrotime almost everytime i turn it on just to make sure the clock is right (hope this doesnt clock up too much data :-( ).
Anyway just wondered if anyone else had come across this?
Try turning the auto time setting in the phone settings to OFF, early on we found this to cause random time problems as well as causing active sync to run all the time.
Thanks. I'll give it a go.
Mine did that last night - 40 minutes slow. Never had that problem since i first got it a couple of months ago. Once it got coverage again, it syn'd back up.
Did that fix your issue?
I've got another interesting one. My clocks are right, but my text-messages show as an hour ahead (received one at 3pm PST and it shows as 4pm PST in the list). I do have the 2007DST patch from Microsoft and everything else is configured right. Is there another setting somewhere for txt-msgs?
this happens for me too. i dont no what is causing the delay. when i have my phone on device lock, whatever time it was when i locked it, it stays like that until i unlock. i noticed it recently, almost missed an appointment because of it!
tried turning off that auto time thing that dont have any effect.
worked perfectly thanks
I've done a lot of searching, on here and on google in general, and still can't find a solution. Maybe I'm just not asking the right question...
I'm using Dutty's newest ROM, but had this problem when I was just using the stock Tilt ROM as well as when using an older one of Dutty's ROM's. I have the screen turn off after about 20 seconds, and when it comes back up the time is always off. It updates properly after about 1-2 seconds, but it's incorrect for the entire time the screen is off. This isn't normally an issue unless I want to use an alarm. With the clock not updating itself continually (like every non-PDA-type phone I've ever used), alarms don't work at all. I installed S2U2, and even with the screen waking up, once I hit the slide to unlock the phone that's when the clock updates. Not before. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Or am I missing something so obvious that I'm bound to get flamed for the question? Thanks in advance!
Mine does this too, stock AT&T Tilt OS for now, but my alarms and PhoneWeaver have absolutely no problem going off at their appropriate time. It looks like it's just not updating the video card with the current time while sleeping since the display isn't on. Not too much of a problem for me as I'm accustomed to wearing a watch, but I can see how it would be annoying for others.
Seems to me that's just normal for any computer when sleeping. My Vista machine and my Apple machines all do that too. When you wake them from sleep, the clock display is behind, but instantly updates once the system is back on line. The internal clock is still running the whole time of course, just the display does not update since the graphics system and cpu are in suspended mode.
Ya' can't very well have a computer go into power saving suspended mode AND keep real time things like screen graphics updated constantly.
P.S. My Tilt does it too, but alarms and reminders all work just fine.

I agree that the screen shouldn't need to be updated constantly during power saving mode, but my problem is that none of the alarms work, and I'm just assuming that the system clock isn't updated because the display is so far behind. I'll do some more testing today... thanks for the replies so far!
Wow, just let me start off by saying that sometimes I just feel like grabbing this phone and smashing it against a wall
Pheww, now that this is off my chest, here is my question :
My phone is set to time zone EST. Every other time, when it feels like it, it decides to switch the time to GMT London, Dublin - a good 4 hour difference.
I use my phone as an alarm clock and as some of you can imagine that can keep me in bed and miss work - not good. And no I don't want a real alarm clock
I'm currently using swtos' ROM and I had 1.93 also. Still the same problem.
I tried doing a search and came up with wrong timings only for received text message, which is also an issue I had but fixed.
Any ideas?
I am not sure what you experienced are same as mine or not. For my problem, every time i synchronise my devise with my laptop using activesync, it will automatically sync to my laptop time. My laptop time is 10 minutes faster. I have to manually change it back to the actual time after remove charging from my laptop.
I know when I first got my phone the time kept changing to Sydney time (daylight savings) where I'm in Brisbane.
This fixed it for me, don't know if this is the same issue though..
Settings > Phone > Time Zones > Untick "Automatic change time zones and clock"

No, this is not related to active sync, it just seem to switch out to a different time zone. I just switched out ROMS and issue is still there.

I really hope this is the issue. Because it just did it again
I just switched daylight saving off - will report in a day or two. Thanks for the tio.
Well after switching off automatic time zone, the clock just reset itself back to London, Dublin time.
It seems to be switching only after 6PM - Any other ideas?
I have the same problem. I am on GMT+2 (Athens, Istanbul), and I choose this time zone. Pressing OK, and then again entering Time Zone Settings, it is changed to GMT+2 Windhoek. This is not the main problem (probably my provider did not set their settings, and sends me new settings).
Sometime (once in a 2 week period), time changes but not in full hour increment/decrement, but hours and minutes. This very morning, the alarm started at 7:15 (as it should). Few minutes later, I got up, switched on the phone and saw the right time: 7:23, but a second later it changed to 23:52 previous day. The time zone remained the same GMT+2 Windhoek.
This IS pretty annoying. Luckily, my wife has some old Nokia which works as supposed.
So I went into my IGO8 settings and I found that the time in there was set to London, Dublin time.
Not sure if this is the issue but I have now adjusted it to ET. I will report back in a while to give an update.
I used to have the same problem with my Hermes. I found that if I set the home and visiting time zones to the same time zone, it stopped changing.
^^
I really hope this the solution as my IGO8 settings didn't do the trick.
ok this starts to happen recently, not sure if it's due to presence of new AT&T Note.
Problem:
my clock (official system clock that shows up on top right of status) is keep showing different time (minutes are correct, but hours are keep getting messed up by 2 hours or somewhere around that).
I'm located in New York EST time.
When I am at home in New Jersey, clock gets messed and shows weird time, and when I go to New York, time comes back to correct New York EST, and sometimes time keeps going back and forth between 24+ and normal time. I have no idea why this is happening. WHat's also weird is, so I turned off the automatic time update and used manual time, but then later it still shows up messed up time, then when I enable automatic time update, it shows regular time.
I've been using att wap APN settings that were publicly available prior to ATT Note launch. help real appreciated. I've come to work late like three times so far because of the messed up clock and thus my alarm clock.
do you have the international version or the AT&T version?
Hi
sorry about that. I have international N7000.
Weird

That is very strange. I've used International version for nearly five months and have always used "Automatic - USe network provided values" Date and time is always very accurate - more than that which appears on television (we don't have daylight saving so the national tv shows are delayed an hour!)
So perhaps it is to do with your service provider? Have a search to see if there is a different APN?
Hope that helps!
Ive been having an issue with my WiFi randomly turning itself on. Ill turn it off to save battery, then check it 30-60 minutes later and its turned itself back on. Ive scanned through other threads and most people say that its from dock mode and to go into dock mode, then go to the settings and disable "auto connect to wifi". I dont have a dock and have never had it in dock mode, but I manually went into dock mode to check check the settings and I dont even have that option in the settings menu. I didnt seem to have the problem (or at least didnt notice it) until after I upgraded to ICS using the OTA update. Is there just a setting that Ive overlooked someplace where I can fix the problem, an app thats got permission to do it that I didnt know about, or is it just a bug thats baked into ICS? Btw, my phone is Locked, Stock, and Unrooted.
Noticed this yesterday on rumfloat4 as well

I have the same frustrating issue, locked and stock here, upgraded to ICS with the RUU. Sometimes it will stay off for several hours, sometimes not even an hour. I haven't been able to pinpoint which app is causing this.
I believe that it maybe an ICS issue.
I have done a complete factory reset on the phone three times, and network and wifi turn on at exactly midnight.
SO far spoken to HTC customer support.....lol
They advised me yo take back to retailer and let them examine it...wtf???

Check your Wi-Fi settings. Drop the drop bar and enable Wi-Fi connection then touch the bar next to the off-on switch. Touch the icon next to the home icon on the bottom of the phone and click on advanced. See the screen shots.
Hope this helps.

Doesn't do a thing.

Too bad. I noticed mine came on the first night after I installed ICS. Took awhile to find the settings I posted. When I found the settings and clicked on the one in the picture I never noticed Wi-Fi come on on its own since.
I am curious how ICS determines "sleep". Is it phone sleep of human sleep? I also wonder if it is somewhat tied into automatic time settings. Say for instance you lose your signal during sleep, does ICS re-set the time and that triggers Wi-Fi turning on based on going setting the phone into a different time zone momentarily?
Just throwing a couple things out there in hopes it helps to solve the mystery.

I believe in later versions of GB, there was a distinct sleep setting that was separate from simply turning off the screen after a certain amount of time. As far as I can see, ICS did away with this and just sets the phone to sleep after a certain amount of time, which inherently turns off the screen.
Is this happening on new phones as well as refurbished ones? Whatever the problem is, its becoming annoying enough for me to return this phone and keep my Inspire.

Yep, GB did have sleep time settings. That's why I was curious as to how ICS determines sleep.
Look at the permissions on HTC Sync. They're pretty intrusive as far as Wi-Fi settings. It may be worthwhile to go into each app and trying to force stopping each one one at a time that changes the Wi-Fi state at will.

Something else you can try is to go into the usage counter and clear the data from the wi-fi tab. Don't use Wi-Fi for a period of time then check if there was any usage and if there was it would be listed which apps used the data and how much they used. Some apps even allow you to access the settings from there as well.
Juice Defender or similar apps should be able to keep it off when you want it off.
The Airplane Mode also should keep WiFi turned off (as well as data) as long as you don't need to take phone calls while you sleep. Not to mention, it saves on the battery if you're not charging at night.
if anyone still interest on this , i found the solution !
on ics you go to:
settings
WLAN
Advanced
WLAN frequency band
and uncheck the auto set radio to use only 2.4 or 5gh
thats all
