Is there any way to manually set the time? I have heard of an issue where Sprint has the wrong time, so I was wondering if setting it yourself was an option.

My phone will sometimes randomly jump through different time zones so I had to go into the time and date settings to manually set it to stay in the Eastern time zone.

I know its been posted before ive seen it around. however my searches are fruitless. its just an conf edit right something simple?

Either that or you can convince microsoft that auto update of time is a good thing

true but it is a hassle to look around this forum. the fix is simple. Just uncheck the automatic time under setting in android and set the correct time with the time zone +00 gmt

Set your device to update time from service provider. It automatically updates the correct time whichever system you are running.

That's exactly what they are trying to avoid....
Is anybody else having problems with the time change staying correct?
Both mine and my wife's phones won't keep the correct time.
I have called Verizon and the only thing they say is to set the date/time to manual.
I don't see why they won't fix their crap.
I have tried the *228 number and done both options and the time still won't hold.
Any ideas?
BTW: my wife's phone is the Samsung Fascinate (stock not rooted).
EDIT: it seems as though Verizon fixed it sometime within the past few hours.
It was just daylight savings time, could that be what your problem is?
Yes. Neither one of our phones will keep the correct time zone.
And it started when the time was supposed to change over.
In the Settings > Date & time menu is the option to use the networks' time. And for some reason it will change the time zone from central time to central mountain time.

Hi, was wondering if this has happend to anyone else, and/or is there a fix for it.
I have noticed that for the past month or so my time has been incorrect even when I set it to be correct. It keeps the time for about 3-4 hours then it starts loosing it as much as 15mins!
It seems to happen on every ROM that I use, so I cant see it being a ROM issue.
ITs really annoying tho!
Anyone else had this problem?
Thank, stoff
Does this not have anything to do with the auto time function and the time on the network of your provider?
I know that here in the Netherlands customers of Vodafone overslept themselves due to a time zone error in the network. The auto adjustment of time set their phones an hour early so that they woke up an hour late
Edit: So try to uncheck the auto adjustment and check with your provider if their time setting is correct.
I thought it could've been that so I left it unchecked but no difference! I even changed sim card to o2 instead of virgin but it still happens! Weird.

Have you made any experiments with overclocking? Maybe something messed up the clock hardware.
But the carrier should update the clock from time to time, I think...
Naa I don't over clock my phone. I'm just learning to live with it being 15mins slow or so!

I don't have a cause for you but I do have a workaround that I use on my Asus Transformer that won't keep time properly, an app called ClockSync (available from the Market).
Thanks, I'll give it a try

So I have it set up to check for the cell tower...and turn my wifi on and if I'm at home change the lock screen off/on
I'm having an issue where the wifi keeps turning off....and I don't know if its a issue with the gs2 and ill have to set it different...or an issue with my wifi or an issue with cm9??
To test to make sure it was not a connection issue with cell tower or tasker. I set it all day today to instead of turning on wifi to turn on Bluetooth when I'm connected to the same towers..and if my Bluetooth connected to my home computer to change the lock screen and didn't have any problems with it.
What can I use to monitor what happens that causes my wifi to turn off?
Tasker. I'm not sure why but I tried a similar setup after turning wifi on or off a few times it gets buggy.

Incase you still want to set it up like that its a no brainer but it took me a few days to think pf it and then I slapped my forehead in a "duh" type manor... I set up a profile so the cell towers by my house turn it on... Then I set up a profile pasted the same towers clicked to invert it.. So if its on any towers besides the ones by my house.. Had it turn them off.

How has this worked for you? I was experiencing this issue as well and have just implemented this new setup. I was wondering if it was working out for you since you made the change or if I needed to keep searching.

It works amazing! Recomended for sure. Sorry that took a while for me to get back to you.
So this morning my phone advanced the time an hour.
Im on Verizon and have auto timezone checked..
The problem is I live in Phx. We dont do daylight savings. How can their network still be getting this wrong after so many years?
I know I can go manual time but then it doesnt change when I travel next week.
Any ideas?
Frustrated
Update.. after a prolinged usless chat with vzw, a restart got the time right. Why is this needed? My wife has same device and hers was fine.
I hopeni dont need to restart every time i cange cities when traveling next week
I used to live in AZ and had this happen to me once too. I live in Hawai'i now, and a couple times my phone's time went a little wonky. We don't change time here either.

This happened to me yesterday morning as well. Seems it happens every single time on every single phone I've ever had while on T-Mobile. Luckily I don't rely on phone alarms, like ever, and just go with my good old fashioned alarm clock. I've had the time screw up for me enough times, lol. Phone corrected itself by about 5 in the evening

We're you also logged onto your (or someone else's) WiFi?
The phone can/will pickup the time from the WiFi and if it's not setup for no DST that could have been the cause.... Or not.
