What would cause the clock to be incorrect? It's happened several times and I don't know why. I thought that the current time was supplied by the network. It always was on my previous phones. I completed a call a few minutes ago and when I set the phone down I noticed it said 10:00 am when it was actually 1:58 pm. I did a soft reset and it is now correct, but what would cause this?
What country you got it set on?
United States, Pacific time zone. If it were a simple issue with the region the minutes would still be correct. When it happens the whole time is off.
This has happened to me also. I have double and triple checked my time settings - daylight savings time is enables, the correct time zone (the correct country), etc.
I was late for work this morning since my cell time was incorrect and the alarm sounded 2 hours late.

EDIT: Please see this thread for possible solutions.
Hmmm...reading through that thread it seems like it is more a phone issue than network issue. I'm going to try the regedit and see if that works. It's only happened twice, but I use my phone for a wake up alarm, so it could be a potential disaster if it happened during the night.

Hi,
I recently noticed my time will start to slow down.
I don't plug my phone to active sync often or at all.
but i noticed after 1 week, my time will be 30mins behind.
does anyone have this issue.
I do have my phone sync with google, could that be an issue?
thanks
Try going to the TIME settings (by clicking on the clock panel) and going to Time and Date and checking autoset time (or whatever it says). This way it gets the time from your operator. That should solve your issue.
i already have that enabled.
thanks
If you're syncing with your PC or an Exchange Server, the device will take the time from there. Check that.
Yea, it gets the correct time when i sync it from the pc, but i don't do that often.
so im not sure what could be causing it.
same problem with my dash, still dunno to solve this...
hmmm... what is the clock speed on your phone? i cant imagine any other reason to the clock being a half hour off except maybe your clock speed is screwing with the actual clock itself.
2 questions
Ray_jai:
1. Does your clock slowly arrive to 30 mins delay or the 30 mins all at once.
2. In which time zone are you.
Mine isn't slow but goes faster instead!!
Does anyone know a solution to this?
@ Azurn/Ray_Jai/ or anyone with this issue...To test to see if my idea was correct (since i do not suffer from this issue), please try running your phone at NORMAL CLOCK (no OMAP GUI, OMAP CLock Set, or OMPA CLock running at all) for the duration that it usually takes for it to get that significant amount behind or ahead and see if the results are the same.
I had another device a while ago that I overclocked, and it seemed that the "OS" couldn't keep the time right with the overclock....
For some reason, I have found that enabling Automatic Time/Time Zone helps in this regard. Check it out in Date and Time.
I'm still having trouble with Time here. I do not know how to remove omapclockkeep.exe from start up and i always see it after resetting my phone.
Auto Time/Time Zone did not help either. It still speeds up 1 hour every time. Please help.
This may sound odd, but narrowing it down, i see only 2 not-so-real (but the only ones i could think of) solutions.
Either :
1) Something with your make of the phone may be "defective" in terms of processor speed and coding etc. (im no hardware expert, but I have had this happen to other devices of mine).
2)Ask some friends with the same carrier in YOUR AREA...do they experience this problem as well? Maybe there is latency in communications between the cell towers and your phone (phones in the area) in which case you should tell the carrier about that issue.
Besides that, I honestly don't know and HOPE that someone does figure it out!
Thanks for your reply, Cyclone. But I am facing this problem after I installed the WM6.5 EVO Rom. Before it was working fine. Do you know what I is the normal Mhz for Omap in this phone?
I am not entirely sure...but to eliminate the over-clocking, just go into the OMAP Clock program that gives you the ability (with a check-box) to enable or disable and unselect it. Then go into the OMAP Clock GUI and set both idle and active to 0 ... (0 means NO CHANGE).
Disable automatic time/time zone
my phone never slows down or speeds up with that disabled. Disabling it doesn't sync time whatever time you set your phone at it just keeps time from the time.
Let me know if this helps
I know there have been multiple threads on sleep issues but I haven't found one like this one.
My phone is able to sleep but only for a certain amount of time. It seems that after I reboot my phone, it can sleep appropriately for the first 8-12 hours and the battery life is amazing during this time and only drops about 20-30%. Up time verses awake time also reflects this. However, after about 8-12 hours, the phone stops going to sleep and the awake timer never stops running. This will drain the remainder of the battery in about 10 hours. After a reboot, the phone is able to sleep again until it develops insomnia once more. Does anyone know what could be causing the phone to stay awake only after being on for several hours? I'm rooted on the stock firmware with the latest OTA. Only extra programs are Google Voice, ePocrates, and Slacker Radio.
*#*#4636#*#* was no help in tracking down the culprit. Spare Parts contributed pretty much nothing either.
Mine did this for the first time yesterday. It's hasn't done it since, but it was very weird. I checked the sleep settings and it was still set to 1 minute, but the phone would not turn itself off.
Probably an app
Same Problem...
I have tried every thing to solve this issue. Change phones; problem return. No apps other than Stock; problem returns. Syncing Exchange, Facebook, and HTC Facebook. Custom Ringtones seem to increase the speed of the error occurrence. Tried leaving them off, but the problem returned. I have changed SD cards. reformated the card, and started it fresh. I have done a factory reset between each test (at least 8 at this point). I have a suspicious that it is the contacts that are getting corrupted, but I have not been able to verify that theory.
Mine has only done it on one evening and not since.
All, i'm having a huge problem. beginning last weekend, whenever I wake up I find my phone clock has become nearly 5 minutes slower.
Because of my sleep schedule on the weekdays, its always 5 minutes late by the time i wake up. strange thing is, within 10-15 min of my phone being "awake" I assume the auto clock sync corrects the wrong time and by the time i'm i'm driving to work the clock's time is right.
i tried turning off wifi one night i think a couple days ago to see if it was some type of strange wifi issue and i found that with wifi turned off, my phone was almost 20 minutes off on the time.
This has affected strangely my alarm clock as well and sometimes it doesn't even go off and i naturally wake up and check and it shows the screen where the alarm clock is running, asking me to "dismiss" or "snooze"
This is super cumbersome, is ANYONE else having this issue with the hox? my only conclusion is while i am sleeping and my phone is on standby for many hours something isn't quite doing its job. maybe something like the phone time being off, i don't know, like 30 seconds an hour or something. I'm still on 1.73.
during the day while my phone is turned on every 30 min to an hour, my clock is perfectly sync'ed.
please help.
turn off auto updating and manually set it - does it still happen?
it could be a conflict between phone time and network time, and the phone stops checking when asleep?

Are you using a custom kernel? Some kernels can have time slew issues. Most people don't notice it. I use Clocksync from the market to keep synced.

i've only rooted it for titanium back up. kernel is factory. i am definitely going to look into clocksync as well after tonight's test. thank you.
i can confirm after i turned off network clock sync that it indeed was not the problem and that there is something inherent in the software that is slowing down my clock on my phone overnight. thing is i don't have any crazy apps. this is so strange.
anyways i have downloaded ClockSync and seeing if this will fix the problem. thanks
The problem is that the phone will not ring for either incoming or outgoing calls. Someone phoning me gets no rings, it goes immediately to voice mail. When i try to call out the screen looks perfectly normal - all of the correct icons are showing up so it looks like it is ringing, but it is not ringing either at my phone or at the person i am calling.
The problem is cured by restarting the phone. Only after i restart the phone do i get notification about any messages that were left.
This happens only when the battery is at about 40%, but not always - just occasionally and rarely. It happened today for the first time in a few months; it also happened a few times, a few months ago.
I would think that at 40% battery there should be no battery charge related problems? 40% should be plenty to run the phone?
Any ideas? I am going to return it to the store and ask about this, but i would like to have some more info to go on, if any is available.
TIA,
Mick

Update: It may very well be happening more often than i thought. I do not get a lot of calls, certainly not every day, so it could be quite consistent and i may not have noticed. For the next while i'll let it run down every other day and check.
It happened today. I just decided arbitrarily to check. Battery at ~35%. I phoned to check if i had any messages. Everything looked normal as i said in my original post, but it did not ring and did not connect.
Before re-starting i checked to see if Mobile Data was working. It was not. After re-start both Mobile Data and the Phone were working.
I am wondering what is the technical significance to the Phone problem of the Mobile Data also not working? They must be somehow related in the hardware or software structure of the phone.
I got my phone back today. On the report it says ...
Complaint
#1[]C56-no service
phone antenna cutting out intermittently
Symptom code C56
Work performed
[202]-Full sw upgrade & phone reset
;sw re-flashed then rebuild to factory default
Repair code 202
I'll see if it happens again or not over the next few days and report back. To me it sounds like they did nothing to the physical components of the phone, just flashed/installed/configured the various software components.
Mick
Here we are, exactly one week later, and the phone failed in exactly the same way. So the "repair" process they applied did not work. I'll be returning it to the Rogers store today and will report back here with the results.
I may have the solution to this problem of network drops now, finally. I took it back to the Rogers store where i bought it. This time there was a more knowledgeable guy there. He took one look at the screen and said "I know exactly what is the problem". What he noticed was that the LTE notification was not showing. This city is an LTE hot spot. The phone should connect with LTE virtually anywhere, anytime. He said it is not the phone at all, but that there is a "switch" that needs to be reset for my account; something to do with the SIM card. After a couple of phone calls he returned the phone and said that it is fixed.
Time will tell. I'll post again.
Mick
False alarm. The fix made it worse. Now it not only drops network connections, but also drains 50% of the battery over the course of one day with very little use. Used to drain 20%.
Mick
Just reporting that the so-called knowledgeable guy was incorrect. Still dropping the networks. I went back and he was incorrect again as he believed that you had to have Mobile Data enabled to make/receive calls. Oh well, he was doing his best. Got thru today so far with no dropouts, and battery drain returned to normal ~20% loss for the day. Will see what happens overnight and tomorrow.
Getting kind of tired of having an unreliable device. Hope this gets settled soon. I'll be back to him as soon as it drops out again.
Mick
I really do wish some of the more technical guys on this forum would take an interest in this perplexing problem.
Here is a summary of this problem and of the work done by the official repair center, the results, and finally at the end a couple of questions ...
Here is a description of the technical problem with the phone ...
1. The phone will work normally for an indeterminate time period, perhaps a few hours or maybe a week or so. Then it will malfunction as follows -
2. Signal strength is tiny. The phone will not ring for either incoming or outgoing calls. Someone phoning me gets no rings, it goes immediately to voice mail. When i try to call out the screen looks perfectly normal - it visually appears to be calling as the active icon is on the screen and the message says "dialing". There is no dialing sound. It never connects, it eventually gives up.
3. Mobile Data is not working. With Mobile Data enabled there is no icon on the notification bar. Google search and PlayStore do not run.
4. Wi-Fi is working. The icon is on the notification bar when it is enabled. Google Search and PlayStore work with Wi-Fi.
5. The problem is temporarily cured by restarting the phone. Only after i restart the phone do i get notification about any messages that were left. Then eventually the problem re-occurs.
When i sent phone back the first time this is what they did ...
[202]-Full sw upgrade & phone reset
;sw re-flashed then rebuild to factory default
When i sent it back the second time this is what they did ...
[051]-No trouble found
;RF Calibration performed to enhance RX/TX performance and network connectivity. Passed RF compliance test to meet manufacturer soecifications. Adjusted battery level to optimize power usage
When i sent it back the third time they did exactly the same as the second time. The phone is now working better as i will explain, but it has not been long enough to confirm if the real problem is solved.
I have set up the CleanMaster [CM] and BatteryDoctor [BD] Apps. I have turned off any automatic options in both. I make only light use of the phone - a few calls per day, maybe one Google search, nothing else. I run the 1 Tap Boost CM Widget and the Save Power BD Widget after each use of the phone.
I also have installed NoWallpaper [saves a wee bit of battery power], SmoothCalendar [very nice and very useful] and one of the Clock Apps [with a useful 1 x 2 Widget].
I have not yet disabled the 50+ Apps that CleanMaster reports as harmless to disable as my phone is still under warranty and has this issue that the service people have not yet been able to resolve. But i will be doing that and i highly recommend it to others.
I have had the phone back from the 3rd repair for 6 days now. I am leaving it powered on overnight. At the end of the first day battery = 89%, second day 74%, 3rd day 55%, 4th day 46%, 5th day 31%. That is 5 days of light use. Was 23% this morning so i re-charged it to 100%. I'm happy with 5 days of light use.
I do not have written notes on the previous battery performance. But from memory it used more than 20% the first day, at least an additional 30% the second day. There was not enough to trust it for the third day as it lost more overnight. I was running BD and CM, using the CM Widget but not the BD Widget.
I am wondering when the phone will fail again. I'll post again when that happens as i feel certain that it will. But i secretly hope it will not
So, finally, here are my two questions ...
What is the actual, presumably hardware, problem with the phone that they are not able to find?
What did they do to improve the battery performance so dramatically? Did they for example lower the CPU clock rate?

Based upon your post, should my daughter stay away from this phone. She has a G2 right now.

I have posted about this problem on four S4 mini forums and on one S forum. No one has ever seen or heard of this problem. It is clear that my phone is the only one with this problem.

Thanks fort the response, i told her not to get the phone.
Well, it gets worse. The phone messed up today same as before. A bit more than two weeks after the "repair". I was at home in one of the strongest signal areas. Would not receive or make calls or use mobile data. So back to the Rogers store. By the time i got there it had started working again so i could not demonstrate the problem. Also used a lot of battery power today, about 40% with light usage compared to 15% or less per day for the past two weeks.
What the counter guy at the Rogers store said is that there is nothing wrong with the phone, that all cell phones do this, and that i should adjust my expectations.
Here's another ConnectionChecker app. This one attempts to reconnect ...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jeremychase.ConnectionChecker
In EU countries, British summer time ended last night and the clocks went back 1 hour. My phone shows the correct time and changed automatically. I use an app called Tasks https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.teamtasks.tasks.paid that I have been using for a while is now, and it's now longer working correctly (and another similar app is doing the same). When I input a time for the task to alarm the time displayed goes back one hour, so for example I have a task that will sound at 6:15 am tomorrow, but the time that it will go off is 5:15 am. Any idea's why this is happening, I thought it might have been the app, but I have tried tow different ones. They both synchronise with Google. The only way to 'fix' it would be to set the time to remind me at 7:15 am.
My phone is rooted on stock rom.
