Hi all.
Having an issue with my EVO that I can't seem to figure out and was hoping that someone here might be able to help.
At (what seems to be random times) my phone will be 1 hour behind. It seems like it changes to Central Time (I'm Eastern) ... I'd say this has happened 5-7 times in the last month or so.
Just this morning my alarm went off ... I got up and when I left the house my phone said it was 9:20am... I stopped at the gas station and when I got back in the truck I noticed the clock on my dashboard said it was 10:20am.... I was like what the hell?
I looked at the phone again and it said it was 9:20am. So I touched the clock and it went into the clock settings. There it said I had two locations... Lexington, KY (time 10:20am) and Eastern Time (10:20am also) ... when I went back to the main screen it updated to 10:20am.
Usually when I have this issue it requires a reboot to fix.
I'm running Fresh EVO 4.2.0.0
Anyone have any ideas... I use this as my alarm and it's made me late to work several times now and I just can't have that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
I had that problem with one rom I used, I forgot which one. But basically the htc clock widget was the problem, thinking you were in a different time zone. Remove that widget, and use another one. I prefer Simi Clock Widget
Hi.
Well I had hoped it was something this simple. I replaced the widget as suggested with the simi clock (which I actually like better... thanks) and I installed an alarm app to replace the alarms I was using via the stock widgit thing.
I am really thinking this is a Sprint issue now as I was going to lunch with a buddy of mine yesterday and he had the same issue at the same time. He asked me if my phone was an hour off and mine was. He then said whelp it is fixed, and mine flipped to the correct time. Then seconds later both of our changed back to being an hour behind.
Again this morning (and still now) it's an hour early... so my 8:30 am alarm just went off at 9:30am which reminded me to post up here again.
Any suggestions besides calling Sprint and banging my head against a stupid tech that doesn't believe me?
Thanks,
Brian
If you wanted to keep the original clock and settings theres an app on the market called Clocksync, it syncs to the atomic clock, works hella good.
fixes clock drfiting, especially if you have multiple clocks on every screen , like me.
works for root and stock users.
I downloaded clocksync today and set that up. Hopefully that solves the problem. I'll post up once I test for a few days.
Thanks,
Brian
MIne would do that also after I rooted it with unrevoked and was running the stock rom. It would tell me my location was somewhere in Russia with their time. Would have to go into settings and manually enter time zone instead of using network time. Then after a while (randomly) would swith back again and I would have to start over. Only did it though after I rooted. Not bare bone stock ruu.
Seems as if loading clock sync and using that instead of Sprint for time sync has fixed my problem.
My friend that was having the same issue also did this and it has fixed his problem also.
Thanks,
Brian
My wife's clock widget was doing that after one of the OTA updates last winter, then a later one seems to have fixed it.
Neither of us have the problem now as we've both rooted and gone to a gingerbread kernel that doesnt exibit the problem.
I had this problem for a while, found that my router was set to the wrong time zone and the phone would update from the router when it was connected to it and would not change back till it checked the Sprint network. Never figured out how to force it to check Sprint though. It was fixed with a small update from Sprint a little while back.

So i have no idea whats going on. On my Alarms tab I once had it set at 4:30am to wake me up for a flight and now even though I've changed it it still goes off every morning at 4:30am.
Anyone have this strange problem and know a remedy?
im having the same problem.when i change the alarm it goes off at the new time i set but it also goes off at the old time. what rom are you using? Im using pays lite 6.0 rom
I've got the same issue. I'm running schap's 4.31 ROM.
It first came up a few months ago and I thought it was related to HTC Home. When I uninstalled it it went away. I seems to have been a coincidence because this weekend it came back. The only change that happened was that for some strange reason my time zone was changed so I changed it back. Ever since then the alarm has been stuck on where it was set at 6:30 :40 and :50am no matter what I change the current alarm to.
Thinking I had things narrowed down I changed the time zone back and forth one zone/hour while the alarm was set to the correct alarm time 7:30 :40 :50am.
Now I have a THIRD set of alarms going off at 8:30 :40 :50am. I literally have 20 minutes of alarms for three hours M-F.
Looking in the registry reveals nothing, the alarms are set for the correct times there and the ghost alarms can't be found. No amount of turning alarms on or off and soft reseting has any effect.
Hi guys,
I had the same problem - two hidden alarms. You need to clear notification queue. It can be done with SKtools.
Regards
Do you live upstairs from me?
Who ever that is up there has a super load and annoying alarm that goes off NON STOP from 4:30am to 7:00am Very Very annoying...

buddy, its telling you to quit smoking weed ten minutes is enough...
peace bro
The problem's probably that Windows has got the event stuck in its schedule.
A number of tools will clear the list for you. If you download Pocket Mechanic from Wizcode the time-limited demo is fully-functional. Good software, it's good enough that I bought it after trying. Took me ages to work out how to sort the same alarm issue a coupleof years ago.
10 days ago I went to pick up my phone and noticed that the clock time didn't look right. When I looked at a regular clock I could see that my phone was 27 minutes slow. I thought my phone was syncing time with the network, but it's not and I can't even find a setting that allows that. I had to manually reset the time on the phone to correct it. I wondered if I might have changed the time by accident and passed it off as odd.
Two days later it happened again and then it happened again the day after that. Within a one week period this happened 3 times. I installed TimeSyncTZ to give myself piece of mind.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. If it keeps happening I think I might need to get my Tilt2 replaced.
Settings/clocks and alarms
Set the home time zone.
We have 2 tilt2's and this happened to both last week. We changed them to eastern US and i just saw mine was on indiana AGAIN,BUT my time is correct for eastern US
I thought it was possibly a time zone issue, but then it would have been off by an hour. My time zone never changed. It's always been set to GMT -6. In fact I have several time zones set up on my phone and they were all off by 27 minutes just like the local time.
The only thing that changed was the time on the clock as if I had gone and set it myself to some random time. The 2nd and 3rd time it happened it was off by about 30 minutes as well. It was if time stood still on my phone for a little while.
WM6 was freezing my Tilt last week. I got fed up troubleshooting and upgraded to 6.1 on Monday. Yesterday I noticed my time off by a few hours (and minutes) while the device was connected to my PC. It was about 11:15am and my device showed 8:07am. This was the 1st issue with time since I had the device. It wasn't a TZ issue and shortly after I disconnected from the PC, the time sync'd correctly with the network. The device did not match the PC time either. I'm continue to monitor, though.
Mine is yet again set to indiana for some reason. Doesnt make much of a difference i dont think. Same time zone. Odd that its not sticking hen i set to eastern
have you considered alien abduction as a cause for your missing minutes?
WTF!
I'm late to work this morning bacuase, some how, the phone lost 45 minutes over night! Just sitting there!
How the hell did that happen!? It's unacceptable!
This is a stock T-mobile USA.

I've been lucky that all three times it happened to me were during the daytime when I had a good idea about what the time really was. I couldn't help thinking about what would happen if it did that in the middle of the night and I got up late for work. I'd be in the same boat with you. I haven't used a watch or an alarm clock for years. This is the first time I've had a cell phone mess up the time like that.
Unacceptable is the word that comes to mind for me as well.
If you got to:
Settings -> Communications -> Phone (change settings) -> Advanced -> Time zones
The check box: 'Automatic change time zone and clock'
I had that set, so it should correct the clock if anything goes wrong... SURELY!?
I kept having this problem too (I'm on the East Coast, and it kept changing to Indiana). The only way I could fix it was to uncheck the "Automatic change time zone and clock" box on the Time Zones tab in phone options, and it seems to be OK now. Maybe the towers are off... Definitely weird and annoying.

Let's just say I haven't ruled it out yet.
Well it does stop... but it keeps returning... halp!
Under the Talk app I have it set up to not start automatically.
I open Settings>Apps>running services and turn it off from there.
Gtalk will not appear again until someone calls me, after wards it has returned. According to running services, even after I stop the program, and when it returns, the timer is still running as if the phone never stopped it.
I noticed this today when my battery is being drained more than usual. I used to get about 3-5% battery loss per hour, but now i'm getting 10-15% per hour.
Since this happened today I figured it might have to do with something I installed from the market. I'm running fresh 1.0.1, launcher pro.
Apps I downloaded in the last 30 hours:
flashlite plugin (I have no idea what this is and it installed 1.5 hours ago)
digital clock widget
launcherpro plus
Qik
handcent SMS
overclock widget
XDA
Craigsnotifications
Any ideas? Anyone getting the same symptoms?
I am having this issue since OTA. On the first version I only saw talk show up if I rebooted. With the OTA it is always coming back and I do not think it is related to an app or to calls. Because I have randomly picked up phone in last couple days and looked.
I just got a replacement Evo today...with OTA...they put it on when setting up...and it has been doing it all day.
This is something that has definitly changed since the over the air update.

I'm sorry to hear that this is happening to someone else.
I uninstalled QIK, and craigsnotifications. I just got a call and GTalkService is back like a pimp looking for his money..

On a side note... this only happened today, and I've been running this version of fresh now for almost a week... so I can only think it has to do with something that changed in the last 30 or so hours.
Issue is still happening and switched over to damage control. Any ideas?

Hi guys,
Hopefully this is a known problem - I have the stock clock/weather widget on my main screen, but if I leave my phone for a while (say 10 mins) and go back in, the time widget will be stuck on the time previous to when I locked it and then change to the current time after 2 secs or so. I cant remember having this before, as I've had the desire for a week or so. I factory reset yesterday after a apps2sd fix messed with my widgets and its still doing it.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
Well mine does the same and always did. It's probably because it is not running when the phone is on standby
Cool thanks for that, its no biggy really, I just wasn't sure if it would mess with my alarm or anything.
Always done this for me on all version of Android...doesn't bother me tbh
On Sense versions with the flip clock it'll always default 1hr and 1min back so it can show the 'flip' each time you unlock the screen...
And yes alarm should be working fine
Thats good enough for me, thanks guys.
So, I was getting notifications in the morning that showed travel time to work, and would update if something changed like traffic. Same for my commute home. Well, I factory reset my phone when the January update came out, hoping to fix a couple issues, and that's when they stopped. I actually use these since there are several ways I can get to work, all on highways that can have severe traffic very quickly. In maps and assistant settings, the commute stuff are all set to on, notifications are also on. I'm not sure what the hell is going on here... Also, I was on Google beta, but I went back to stable when weather stopped showing up, no change. Anyway, anyone have any ideas here? This is very annoying. I don't want to factory reset my phone again...
Mine doesn't go off every day. Might take a little bit to learn your routine after the reset?

I see mine sporadically. I think the only time I saw it this week so far was Monday. Havent seen it since.
Looks like a fix is rolling out.

you can set up an alarm that is set to assist that will tell you traffic condtions
Mine was working fine before the quarantine few months ago, but stopped working when I got back to work. I have reinstalled google maps and enable all the notification and related settings. I even tried the same with my other phone using another google account with no success
