anybody know is there a way to have my 3g/H /edge connection disabled when the screen is off like in the wifi sleep policy??
seems a bit of a waste having wifi set to sleep when screen is off if the 3g /edge connection becomes active.

One of the main use of a smartphone is to receive emails and such while the screen is off. So the answer is no, but I guess you can find a 3rd party utility on the market that does it if you really want to.
Wifi takes more power than EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA

I use "Superpower" to switch between 3g and 2g when screen is off, but you can also let it disable data (and wifi) completely.

If your life /phone usage would be better not receiving emails etc twenty four hours a day then control your phone to your needs the definition of smart is definitely not email day and night .
A Smartuser who does not depend upon receiving emails twits and facebook then use an App like Quick Settings to turn mobile data off when not needed .
You use the phone dont let it use you .

you could add additional "Notify" events for testing, they'll have a timestamp indicating when the even fired.
My Tasks:
Event Display Off
Wait: 10 Seconds (in case it went off for inactivity but I'm still doing stuff)
Mobile Data: Off IF %SCREEN ~ off
Event Display On
Mobile Data: On

Mobile Data: On
Clock From 0:01 every 15 min Till 00:00

Seriously, go into Settings > Date and Time and select the checkbox that has your phone take the time from your network, see if that helps.
Beyond that, the internal clock of most devices is powered by a seperete battery. It sounds like that battery is going dead or there is a hardware problem that is causing the clock to run slow. Next step would be a service center or learn to live with being back in time.

thanks for the help
ive downloaded clock sync which seems to work for the time being
The SGS has no separate battery for time as if you remove the battery for about 5 mins, your clock will be reset.
My guess would be that the network time is turned ON and sending you false data. Just uncheck it and set the correct time and it should stay that way.
Starting last night, setting Google Now reminders is no longer working correctly. I'll issue a command to set a reminder at some time in the future (like "remind me to do something at 9am tomorrow"), the screen that comes up has the right date/time, then when I say "yes" to confirm, the confirmation screen that comes up has the reminder for three hours earlier than I asked for (6am). I can reproduce this 100%. This was working fine earlier in the week. If I issue a command to set up a reminder in 15 minutes from now, same thing, it gets set for three hours in the past on the final confirmation screen and says "this reminder is in the past". I'm on an unlocked Moto X, 4.4.3.
Thought it was just me, but it's now happening to my wife as well, she's on a locked Moto X (AT&T), 4.4.2.
I Googled around as much as I could and couldn't find anyone else having this specific problem. Can anyone confirm that this is/is not happening to them?
Make sure your date and time settings are set to automatic or, if not, make sure the correct date, time, and time zone are correct. I think may have a problem there. I just used google now to set an alarm in 15 minutes and set a reminder for 8:00 am tomorrow and they are both correct. (T-Mo, 4.4.3, unlocked)

That's the first thing I checked, on both affected phones, settings are correct. Thanks for the tip though. The strange thing is that the first GN screen shows the correct date/time, but the confirmation screen that comes up after you confirm the reminder has the wrong time.

Wipe cache and data for google search under settings->apps then log back in to Google Now, see if anything changes.
I can't reproduce the behavior you described unfortunately so I have no way of troubleshooting it on my end.

Just tried it, no luck.
Another interesting find: when it asks for confirmation of the reminder date/time, if I say "yes", it sets it for three hours earlier which is then displayed on the confirmation screen. However, if I click the on-screen button to confirm the reminder date/time (instead of saying "yes"), then the alert is set for the correct time.
And again, this is happening on two different Moto X's running two different versions of Android...

No, been in the same house for over 10 years. Haven't been out of my time zone in over a year...
If your rooted try uninstalling google search, reboot, then reinstall google search from play store.
Also check your calendar apps (stock any any 3rd party) to see if any manual time zone issues are there. Since no one else can reproduce it, its probably something on your device.

I tend to agree with you, except that the same problem started affecting my wife's phone on the same day. Other than both being on AT&T, she's stock 4.4.2 and I have an unlocked DE with 4.4.3. Both using stock calendar, time zones are correct. I'll try uninstalling GS but that won't be an option for her.
Same Issue
I have the same issue, reminder is getting set 3 hours prior to the time I specified.
Even worse
mine is same but worse...it sets the reminder 12:30 hrs before the mentioned time...i tried at 11:00 p.m. ..it gets set at 10:30 a.m. :crying:
same here...
I have pretty much the same problem and I think I kind of understand what is happening...
Ok, when I set the reminder by voice on Google Now, say "remind me to check the oven in 20 minutes" he will do just that, until now everything is going smoothly, but then it asks me "do you want to set it?" and when I reply "yes" it reloads the screen and then, for some reason I can't understand, the clock now shows 4 hrs late... It will even show me a message "this reminder is in the past"...
So, it happens on the reload, every time it reloads the remainder's clock is set back 4 hours. If I say just "remind me in two hours" it will set the clock correctly, but as soon as it asks me "what is the reminder?" and I say "check my pizza" it will reload the clock back 4 hrs, and finally when it asks me if I want to set it and I say "yes" it reloads again and sets me back another 4 hours for a total of 8 hours...
Note that if after you ask google to set it, you just click "remind me at this time" (set it manually with your thumb) it will not reaload and therefore never get a chance to alter the time of the reminder...
It is a very weird problem.... I wonder if anyone will be able to shed some light on it.
My device is a Galaxy Nexus running android 4.3, and it is rooted.
Thanks in advance

Well, sorry it's happening to you, but I now know I'm not the only one (I was starting to question my own sanity).
Yes, what you describe is exactly what I described in the first page of this thread - confirming with voice causes the problem which is then evidenced on the reload of the confirmation screen, but confirming by clicking the on-screen button sets the time appropriately. Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to correct the problem. I reported it on the Moto X users forum on Motorola.com, but you confirmed it's not specific to the Moto X, which is useful information.
Also, this does seem to be a fairly recent problem, at least for me - this was working fine earlier last week.
Same issue as well
Got the same thing happening on both my Moto X and Nexus 7. -3 hour time difference.
i have confirmed the same issue with Moto G...me and my friend both have this issue on X and G...the reminder sets 12 hours/12 and half hours in the past...so it seems to be a Google problem and i guess it has something to do with the time zone..
Me too have this problem on moto x. Mine is an Indian one.
When i say - remind me to check game in 20 mins, lets say the time is 7 40 pm, it displays correctly the time as 8 00 pm.. But when i say yes as confirmation, the page reloads with time as 7 20 am.
Tried with time setting as network and manual time.. Both has this issue..

I was able to create the problem with the voice confirmation of a reminder. My reminders step back one hour. I'm in the Mountain time zone, so it resets my time to Pacific time. If you are in Central time do you reset 2 hours? East time zone resetting 3 hours?
Edit: 'Set alarm for 1 pm today' works fine. It looks like just the reminders are messed up.
problem is...
Yes, the time is "set back" only once it reloads, and every time "google voice" has to reload it is "set back" again.
To me it is clear it is a google problem, likely a problem in the integration between "google voice" and "google calendar". Maybe?

UTC -3 here and the time is reset 4 hours.
And yes, the problem occurs after voice confirmation, but more precisely after google now refreshes the page.
Exact same issue
I believe this is a Google now issue and not specific to the device model.
I tested it out on my brother's Moto-X and also on two other Nexus 5 phones and the result was same, the reminder was set back by 12 hours and got set in the past.
From India, GMT +5:30.
Hopefully google resolves this bug soon.
It's also happening on my Galaxy S5. I have to add 3 hours to any spoken reminder request (EDT). Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
have strange problem since the last update.. The clock is always not accurate, i switch to set automatically, then manually and still have 1 hour delay, some times extend to 1.40 and so on. the time zone is accurate. not sure how to solve this.

tbh, didn't notice that. only one thing i noticed, is that for some reason, under date+time, i have utc +2 and there should be +1 (yes, it is set to auto ). but even with it, time is accurate... resetting phone might solve it.
not sure that will help.. I already reset the phone twice.. My time zone is +3 but even when i set it to +3, the time looks ok, but when the screen is off for long time the clock is delayed to 1hour_1.40 hour..

except utc bug or whatever it is, i didn't have any problem with time... first thing i did after update was to reset it (settings->about->reset) and jailbreak with chinese hack tool...
hope, there will be someone with more experience to join... after years of ios and short time on android, this is my first wp, so i guess everything is still working perfect (noob)

This morning i found 1 month delay instead of one hour, the time was set to May 22. i even found that all missed calls were arranged to this day. My email accounts always need attention due to this issue. i reset the phone with no success.
Any ideas

same problem as me :crying:
I had been waiting with bated breath for the Marshmallow update to arrive, mainly because of the expected addition of the "Until next alarm" setting to the "Do not disturb" feature, but woe to me, no such luck! "Do not disturb" doesn't seem to have changed at all from Lollipop, and there is no "Until next alarm" option to be seen anywhere. What's going on, T-Mobile and Samsung? I have a really hard time using my alarm clock without this feature. Every once in a while, I forget to disable "Do not disturb" after I get up and then walk around half a day incommunicado, wondering why no one calls me. This is ridiculous! Doesn't T-Mobile realize how freakin' important this feature is to people?
Does anyone know anything about this issue?
No reason to walk around with it in at day. You can set up your days and times.

Thanks, I am aware of this option and have already started using it, but it is terribly inefficient, as it requires me to go through about 20 clicks EVERY SINGLE night just to set up the alarm and the Do Not Disturb mode for the next day. And it is impossible for me to set it up in advance for every day of the week, as the time I go to bed and get up is never the same day to day. With the Until Next Alarm option, it takes only two clicks to activate Do Not Disturb.
Best Regards...
I set mine up once, checked the box "Turn on as scheduled"and never had to touch it again. Once 10pm, on the days I set up, hits the Do Not Disturb automatically turns on. Then at 7am it automatically goes off.

I never touch my Do Not Disturb. I use AlarmDroid for my alarm clock. It makes me do maths to turn it off in the morning. Annoying, but effective.
