Go to settings and the date and time and uncheck the automatic time zone and date then set them to where they need to be then recheck the auto boxes should be fine after that

Already try it and didn't work out.

I got it working now Thank you very much!

After you got it working, did you reboot and is it still fixed? Because im having a similar problem BUT i think its Root Call Blocker that messes it up after every reboot.

I have the same problem

After reboot I have to do it all over again.

No matter what is done, time zones keep getting screwed on reboot. I think the problem is that the checkbox "get timezone from blah" is not getting stored in the database (or wherever it should be stored), just the session.
I'll look into this, and report back. No promises...

Thanks. Maybe we shouldn't reboot !

The value in the db is okay. Something is modifying this on boot. If you watch closely, the phone boots and time is okay. And then the timezone reverts to zero and so does the time.
I'll keep investigating... Happy Father's Day.

HELP!
Hi there,
I am from PR experiencing the same issue with timezone since upgrade to ICS 4.0.3.
Where can I obtain the Titanium Backup?
What apps do I have to kill in order to avoid modifying the time\date after restart?
I am really happy to see your post with a resolution to this lame issue.

I don't understand why my timezone is -400 on this phone when it's really -500 everywhere else...does anyone have an answer for that?i am eastern timezone

Hi, I have somewhat a similar issue as everyone else on this thread. If I use the Automatic TimeZone, it resets the Time Zone to +00:00. I have tried what ejcortes says, but I still get the same issue. All this started once ICS was updated at the store. Any clues?

I had the same issue since the update of ICS. Tmobile have a new update for ICS and that fix it. Check out the support site in Tmobile site for the update.

Has anyone found a fix for their screen staying on?

I know its been reported with jelly bean that the screen is unable to turn off normally and you have to push the power button to turn it off. Currently the only fix I know of is a reboot. Anyone with any other tips??
Mine works fine, did you flash any mods or some kind of lock screen app?

Yes, I'm on Wicked Sensations v1.2 right now. But i've read that a few people have been having this issue with JB. I just started using XDA so I can't post on the OP yet so thats why I posted here. Was just hoping for some feedback and opinions. I have flashed a few mods on it, but none seem to be the problem...i dont think. haha
Settings > display > screen timeout..
Is it set to 10 minutes? Cause that would do it

I thought that may be been the culprit but the setting was off

I'm having the same problem
I am not rooted and running stock jelly bean (ota version that I installed early because I was too impatient for them to push it to my phone). I have noticed my screen randomly staying on, too. It's very annoying because sometimes I don't notice until my battery is dead. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but I'd love a permanent fix if anyone has any additional ideas! Thanks! I've tried all the obvious settings, but can't figure it out. Is there an app that can help me figure out what the culprit might be?
(And can I just say, an edit to a post ought not fall under the "wait five minute" rule for new posters. Just my two cents .)

Use an app called Stay Awake. Works great for me.

Any ideas why my clock reverts to G.M.T.?

I'm running "Darkside eVolution" and almost every time my phone reboots, or restarts from shutdown, and sometimes just randomly, my notification bar clock will have reset itself from Pacific Time, to Greenwich Mean Time. And depending on the time of day, (or night) the date gets whacked too.
Its weird because the settings are still checked the way they should be. Maybe someone knows a WY to fix this? I would sure be a happy S.O.B. if there is a way.
Thanks in advance.

Mine has given me that same message since I got the phone on release day. Called AT&T today but all they told me was call back if you haven't received it within a month. I had to show them that the update was even available. If someone has a fix or work around I'd love to know too.

New features? What other features besides the multiwindow? The only other thing I've noticed is that I can change the color of the ink effect on the lock screen. Honestly you aren't missing much unless there's something else I'm not noticing in this update.
Push your date to Jan 1 2013 and check for the update again....it will work.

Toggle settings can be customized, unless that's specific to cleanrom.

No, setting the date ahead only helps if the phone wasn't letting you check for updates, in which case you get the the "You may check again in xx hours" message.
The OP is instead getting the "Update interrupted" message, which you only get if the phone did check for an update, but none was available. In that case, setting the date ahead won't make any difference.

Dates in the 70's

Is it just me? After rooting and cwming my phone my system default time is always in the 1970's so it messes up the cwm back ups and things. If you have your phone on airplane mode and reboot it won't grab the time from the network so that how you can check. I only noticed it when I brought in cwm. I've tried different versions of cwm never gotten it fixed though. Oh I'm always aosp, Rom/kernel makes no difference
Can anybody confirm this? Or share any fixes?

Hey look, for a while now I have been using the script and app here.
It's called oNandroid.
- perform backups without rebooting.
- manage stored backups and the dates are correct.
- If you ever need to restore, reboot to CWM.
- It's super convenient and works perfect for me.
Problem solved...and a bag of chips!
(lots of options. Can be used with the GUI or with any script app)
Enjoy
I read something koush posted in Google+ a while back. It has to do with the way the chip set is programmed it doesn't communicate the way it's supposed to to update the date stored on the chip. I guess if you turn on airplane mode and then reboot it will default to the same date. If you pay attention every time you boot the phone it polls the server for date and time.

I figured it was something funky more or less hardware related. Are you saying there's not much hope it can be easily updated?
I can totally live with it, it's really not a big deal.
Besides sometimes it's fun to send people text messages with a 1970's date stamped on it.

Sometimes my phone has gotten wonky on time usually as a result of battery swaps. happened even prior to my rooting.
All i needed to do was toggle off/on the Auto time set feature and it resets as it should.
All most over slept one morning because I for got to check the time after a battery swap prior to going to bed. Phone is my main alarm clock.
Just go to settings then under system go to date and time and then set the time yourself.

Samsung has introduced a qualcomm time service that might be responsible for weird time behavior. I know on my phone it can be off by up to two minutes, so what I did was disable this from running. If you're rooted, you can either disable it in titanium/application settings/adb OR just remove the application from /system/app/TimeService.apk
