Time Zone Bug Arizona Verizon - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I just woke up here in Arizona. My phone is saying it is 8:23. It is actually 7:23. We do not observe DST here.the only way to fix this was to go into settings and turn off automatic time zone.

Indeed. Fail Google. Although...
Are you both on Verizon? Maybe it is Verizon's fault?
Edit: I rebooted and its correct again.

Same thing here

Also happened to my Epic 4G Touch. My sister's iPhone 4S caused her to go to work 1hr early...I laughed at her

That may be, but ICS is not refreshing the time once it is set. It takes a reboot to work.

It reset for me without any issue so it might just be a Verizon problem. I'm with T-Mobile.

Certainly possible.
The thing is, we don't use DST and the phone assumed we did. Doesn't TX observe DST?

Yup. Same for me. I'm on tmo also..updated without reset or anything. Once again, its Verizon.

i have vzw and the time on my phone updated just fine without doing anything... but im in TN

For the folks its working fine for, I can tell at least one from their location is not in Arizona.

I ended up just unchecking the automatic Time Zone option and set it to -7 Arizona. It was set for -6 Mountain Time

Same problem here, in phx, Verizon gnex and iphone 4s both had the bug, both corrected themselves with no intervention around 0930

You're right. We do observe it here in Texas. Seems like it points more towards Verizon but I'd like to know if more people from Arizona are having the same trouble.

same thing on Verizon here in Hawaii. so silly because with automatic time zone selection from the network has the correct time zone of GMT-10 but it added the hour

This. We're the same as Mountain for half the year and the same as Pacific for the other half. Mine thought it was Mountain when set automatically until I manually changed it to Manual.

I had this problem on my vibrant SO MUCH (like maybe 15 texts per day did this). Then I had it on my Galaxy S 4G (less but still alot). Now I rarely have it on my Galaxy S 2. No idea what could cause this issue but it seems to be getting better down the generations lol
I've had only about.......5 since I got my phone.
Yes, lately I've been getting alot. Mostly while im on my wifi calling is on.

on my galaxy S 2, it might happened maybe 3-4 times since the 3 months I've had the phone
Yup.
Happens to me on a frequent basis. I have a launch release GS2 and it seems to happen to me on a frequent basis. I'm not sure what it is but it also happens a lot when it's converted to mms. I hope this gets fixed with ICS.

I had this happen to me a couple weeks ago. I called t-mo and told the rep what was going on. He told me to reset my phone and he did something on his end. After that I haven't had a problem since.

[Sprint]MMS stuck on "Downloading" fix.

I thought I would share this since the problem is widespread. You might want to inform other Sprint users on other devices.
If you get texted a picture and the picture never comes this is what you can do.
1. Open "Settings" in the messaging app.
2. Turn off "Auto Retrieve".
3. Select the message that has the pic that won't come through.
4. Click "Download". Wait for a second while it downloads the picture.
5. Now turn back on "Auto Retrieve".
Hopefully Sprint will get this issue fixed.
Just checked this on VZW as well and it works. Thanks for the info

I am on WindMobile, and this workst great for me, so i do not think it is a carrier related, may be it is Android Related.
This is a good find. Next time this comes up I'm giving it a shot.
This could be an issue with CDMA networks vice Android, unless some GSM users come in and report the same problem.

(know that it's an old thread)

I'm in North East England, Phone thinks I'm in Washington DC??

Having some very bizarre behavior from my Nexus recently.
I was trying to set up Latitude when I noticed the phone had my location down as Lynnwood, WA. This is somewhat amusing since I am in Newcastle Upon Tyne, in the UK - so my GPS is a mere 2,350 miles out.
I tried resetting the data in Maps and that has fixed the maps location, however, whenever I add a weather widget such as Beautiful Widgets or HD Widgets, both think I am still in Lynnwood. Yet in Google Now, it knows where I am, and the Maps know where I am, so where is it getting this information from?
Any ideas?
I'm pretty sure its Google Location Services doing this, but other than turning it off, with repercussions that has, I don't know how to fix it.
Go into Google Now->Settings->Privacy and accounts, and check Use Google.com

You can also try FasterGPS from the market, a free utility that lets you select the GPS server for your region. Reboot after making any changes.

As said I solved my maps problem by clearing data in the maps application in the applications settings. It has not solved my weather widget issues though.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you need to be on English (US) language.

That's odd.. though Washington DC and Washington state Are about 3,000 miles apart. So your GPS is actually about 5000 miles off.
No idea how to fix it though.

I continually had this problem with my Droid incredible (I'm in California and it kept saying I was in china). I never found a fix, even switching to using Google's location. It eventually fixed itself on my phone most of the time but my wife's kept doing it. Verizon refused to replace our phones even though this didn't happen to everyone and was obviously an issue with the phone. For me rooting and flashing any ROM that wasn't stock took care of the issue on both phones permanently. Luckily we haven't had this issue since we upgraded to the nexus and she got the Droid razr.

Apologies, I mixed them up. The phone thinks I am near Seattle. Washington State not DC. Get confused with Washington at times, we also have a town called Washington about 10 miles away

Interesting. I don't mind flashing ROMs, have done so before many times on my N1, SGS2 and others. I was going to keep this phone stock so I could have a good all rounder without any weird glitches but I have so far found many weird glitches, so what is the point in staying stock I guess...
That happened on my n7 I was in sweetwater and it said I was in Finland, it was just the WiFi network I was on

New Google Now Feature?

I saw this pop up on Google Now. I've never seen it before and haven't heard anything about it. I guess it's keeping track of how far you walk kind of like a pedometer. Anyone else seeing this?
Same here. Popped up today. Could not find more info.

Great find! What's interesting is that Google has been tracking how much you walk since late September. Did you by any chance just get your device/factory reset it then?
Featured it in a post here
Lets hope we get some more details about it soon.
It appears to use latitude to track your location history.

I had Latitude on for a little while... but I dunno, something just seemed a bit creepy about it so I disabled it a couple months ago. I am not seeing this pop up.

So you guys turn the gps on all time and let it track you?
Doesn't it drain battery?
I think it just works if you have enabled location history, without keeping GPS on.

Yes all of the att bloatware. I removed some with root Explorer as well.
Did you just disable them or removed them completely? I'm wondering if there might have been something crucial that was removed. Wish we had a way to return to stock.

Try returning your phone to stock as much as possible by undoing what you did. Even do a factory reset and use the phone without changing anything.

i have 4 full bars of lte where i live. my htc one got maybe 1 or 2 bars. lg radios are kick ass.
k an update i ended up returning my phone and getting the Samsung s4. reason being i found out the lg dose not have a very good radio for rural areas. i found that it only has like two freq. for 3g and 2 for 2g. maybe with a rooted phone you can change out the radio from another phone or something. But an un-rooted phone it sucks. I really liked the phone too because nice big screeen and every thing.
Oh and the s4 blew the lg out of the water as far as signal and everything. I had an htc inspire before and had to mod my antenna in order to make phone calls from my basement. i was able to do the same with the s4 with out doing any thing too it.

I haven't narrowed it down to an exact interval of time but I've seen this a number of times as well. I half wondered if it was because of the WiFi tethering changes I made as it was not happening prior to that change. It's only been the last few days...
