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!

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 was checking my phone today to see what time I was working OT and it said 10:30-7 when I knew it was really 11:30-8. So, I double-checked Outlook and sure enough it was 11:30-8! However, my Tilt now displays any appointments from 3/2/2008 and on with a -1 hour time different! I even made some appointments in the past on both 2/29/2008 and 3/1/2008 and the time shows up fine and matches Outlook! What gives!? Also, I searched a little and found that new DST patch (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...5c-8ac1-4821-81fe-3f4ada831fe0&DisplayLang=en) was issued on 2/15/2008 and I installed that but it did absolutely nothing... still shows appointments from today & going forward with a -1 hour time difference.
I have already made sure my phone's timezone matches my PCs. They're both GMT-8 Pacific and the clocks match up and they are both on standard time, not daylight savings.
And I have always had the "Automatic change time zone and clock" setting DISABLED on my phone. The timezone & clock are manually configured.
I am using the latest AT&T ROM release and only have a few apps installed:
Microsoft Live Search
Microsoft Live
SlingPlayer Mobile
Google Maps
...and I left all of the AT&T bloatware on.
If anyone can help shed some light on this I'd be extremely thankful!
same problem here - I switched time zones
I was able to switch Time Zone from "Eastern - 5" over to "Eastern (Indiana) - 5". For some stupid reason I think Indiana doesn't subscribe to the new changes in DST and it made my appts go back to normal.
Then I just manually changed the hour ahead on my clock again.
Not sure if there's a similar time zone that would work for you - Arizona is messed up too but they would probably be going in the wrong direction?
This is clearly stupid and I had the exact same problem last year on my WM5 phone and my mind is boggled at how simple this is and can't be fixed. Both times I installed this so-called patch and nothing. ARRGGGH!!!
And I worship at the house of Gates, so it's really hard for me to be mad at my Microsoft buddies.
if you guys look just 8-10 posts below this one, you can see this thread.

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.
Got a TD2 two weeks ago. The clock on my unit is really inaccurate - it can slow more than 5 minutes in one day (24h). Anyone else experienced this?
I haven't been able to find an automatic way to update/adjust time - is this an option somewhere?
No, I did never see an issue like this.
What you can do, is automatically get the time from your provider:
Start - Settings - (More, if you are using TouchFLO) - Personal tab - Phone - Timezone - Tick the box to automatically change time.
Thanks I checked the settings - it was set to automatically receive time from my provider. I unchecked it now to see if that helps. I'll check in tomorrow with the results.

Ah, that might be the problem aswell, didn't think about that.
It could be that your providers clock is lying like 5 minutes behind.
Everytime it (re)connects to the network, it receives the latest time, and I guess in your case, the incorrect time.
I'm looking forward to the results.
Oh well. Since yesterday it's been OK. Will repost if it happens again. Automatic update is turned off.
Okay, good to hear that. I don't expect we hear it from you again..
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.
