i noticed today after my alarm failed to go off and there for making my wife late for work that the time is wrong on my evo.the weather/clock widget displays the correct time but the clock in the top right corner is 11-12 hrs off! if i click the clock and goto current city it shows im in Singapore! im pretty sure im sitting in charlotte, NC. i have turned the gps off and back on and did the same for the automatic switch under date & time. if i reboot the phone it temporarily fixes it but it switches back to wrong city. the widget shows the correct city. any ideas?
Are you rooted?

well i attempted to root using unrevoked but it failed as im using a brand new phone with a unsupported hboot
Had the same problem, turned off the airave.after the time change it stopped working.if not turn off auto update time on phone.
it's could be a problem with your local cell tower, happened to me when I had my Hero, my phone though it was in Seoul, South Korea, when it really was in San Juan. Puerto Rico... problem solved itself a couple of days later

Exact same issue. Just got my Evo yesterday and attempted to root... and no dice. Started acting strange after that. It insists that I'm in Kaisertal.
I assure you, I am most certainly not in Kaisertal.
i did a factory reset shortly after creating this thread yesterday and all seemed great until this morning. it was telling me i was in some country i have never heard of again and almost making me late for work. i turned the auto update off and the location seems correct now. Kinda stupid i have to do this in order for the correct COUNTRY to be selected.
Well, first, I would stop using your Evo as you and your wife's alarm clock if it's making you both late for work! Lol that's no good!
Next, how old is it? Are you within the exchange period?

I had the same issue the day after my EVO upgraded with the OTA update. Happened 2-3x that day.
It "appeared" to fix itself as (knock on wood) it has not happened since.

Could having "Allow Mock Locations" checked be causing it?

nope, just checked and it wasnt checked
I knew I shouldn't have said anything. It happened again today. It jumped to 6 hours ahead of what it really was, but it did display the correct city that I was in.
And, for the first time, it rebooted on it's own today too.
WTH is going on with my EVO since the update?

i ended up just turning off autosync time and setting it manually. seems to work fine now, im hesitant to turn it back on though, i got a feeling it will do the same thing as before
mine has been doing this for two days... I spoke with Sprint and they have no answers except to uncheck automatic setting..
Mine now immediately tells me I am on Eastern European Time vice Eastern Standard Time...
This sucks...
Call up Sprint and Google. The issue is with the cellular tower ID. Also, turn on WiFi, GPS, and Google Maps for a while each day to let it get the location.
Happened again to me today, so I turned off the option to sync it with the network and just manually set it.
It is a cell tower issue... Nothing is wrong with your phones. Relax... Sprint will get it fixed soon enough... In the meantime.... Use a real alarm clock.
I have the same problem. Location was set to Minsk in the time zone of Eastern Europe. I am actually located in Southern NJ near Philadelphia. Turning off auto sync fixes the time but the location stays with regard to the sense weather app for a while. Why would multiple sprint towers in different areas all start reporting that they are in Eastern Europe? Never had the problem before the latest ota...

Russian hackers are attacking Sprint's and the FCC's networks, changing the GPS coordinates of where cell towers are registered to.
When I set my Date & Time to Automatic from the network provider, it seems to jump ahead by 10 mins every now and again.
If I uncheck the the Automatic option and the recheck it, the time corrects itself but will them jump by 10 mins after a while.
I have only noticed this since upgrading to 2.3.3.
I am on the Orange network and have an unbranded handset.
Has anyone else noticed this issue? I'm not sure if it is network or 2.3.3 related so would appreciate any info from
It will fix itself eventually. I fixed it by having the wifi on for a while. Turning it off, waiting and then turning it back on again. Seems like a local server issue so just wait it out and keep it connected to wifi for a while and see what happens.

I will give it a try. I usually have my wifi on all the time when i am in the house. I'll monitor it over the next few days and see how it goes.
I have had the same problem since the gingerbread update on my Vodafone Desire HD. I have Wi-fi on all day at home and work and only thing that corrects the time is turning the automatic setting off and on again. Definitely a bug in there somewhere.

That's good to know. Looks like it may not be a network issue then.
Do you have an unbranded handset?
Same here in Australia, but only started to happen last night. I can trigger it by going to the weather app and manually updating the weather. Updating again restores the time to normal.
I have sent a email off to HTC about the issue. Lets see what they say about it.
They seem to be quite active on Facebook these days so I think I'll leave a comment on their page also.
Hopefully will get a reply soon to say it's a bug or that they are investigating it. With past experience in contacting their customer service dept, I'm not holding my breath.
OK people it looks like it's a known issue and HTC are currently working on it. They sent me the following reply on Facebook :
Hi scotia_rfc, it's not an issue caused by the Gingerbread update, we've seen that some handsets are showing the time 10 minutes ahead. We would like to reassure you that we are currently working to rectify this and will have an update for you shortly. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may be causing.

I haven't had this issue. My phone alarm is what gets me up for work, so that would be a big problem.
I have had the same issue since updating to 2.3.3
Definitely seems like it is update related to me - I have a couple of phones synced to an Exchange server so I would have noticed before the update if the clocks were out of sync by 10 minutes as the alarms and reminders would have been going off at different times on the two phones, but since I updated yesterday they go off at different times. If you turn off the automatic update, correct the time and re-enable automatic update then it will sometimes roll on an extra 10 minutes within a few minutes. Seems to roll on more rapidly when moving about so perhaps related to cellular location updates?
Phones are HTC Incredible S (unbranded, s710e from Taiwan), Nokia E5 (not my choice - work phone!)
This may be just a little problem waiting for a fix. I only noticed today that it shows me weird time, but it was automatically updated after a few minutes.

Same here and I'm on o2-UK. I have also found by having WiFi on it corrects itself but surely there is a proper fix ?

If your rooted I'd recommend ClockSync. It works wonders for me. Keeps my time synced with 0.uk.pool.npt.org . You can use any timeserver local to you using http://www.pool.ntp.org/ . Be sure to turn off Automatic in "Time & Date".
Same problem here: Vodafone RO, unbranded DHD on stock 2.3. Strange thing though is that I've only noticed it after rooting my phone a couple of days ago. I don't remember having this issue before rooting.
I found this today! Thought I was going to be late but turned out I was on time but my time was over 20 min ahead of it's self!!!
Un-checking and then checking the automatic time update sorted it out
Global NTP servers are out of sync, so HTC cannot fix that. It will get fixed in no time.

Same, but worse
I have the same issue, so deactivate the automatic update.
But since I upgraded to 2.3.3, I loose both Wifi and phone networks (3G/edge/simple phone) if the device has not been used for about 2 hours. I must switch off "Data" and "Wifi", and switch on again.
Has anyone the same problem ?

Hm. Then why does unticking and reticking the automatic sync fix this problem? I mean, it always gets the time right when doing this, doesn't it mean the servers are fine?
I think i had this problem before i updated.
NOw it asks if i want to automatically update time everytime i reboot
some people say drop data problem on Galaxy Nexus, it is related to radio/baseband issue, a lot of people recommend the following components
Radio/Baseband：
cwm-radio-i9250-xxla2 (latest radio from Google)
Kernel：
franco.Kernel-r158 (best kernel on market)
ROM：
aokp_maguro_build-35 (latest aokp rom)
Just go back to 4.0.2

I have the above combination and it's worse. The radios in my device are going nuts.
How can it be so bad?

Was at the Verizon store today and there floor model had no drop issues. Tried mine right next to it and it started to randomly drop. They are sending me a new one and are saying it will be here tomorrow hopefully I don't have the issue after the new one. The tech has a nexus and said he has no issues with his.

i had the same problem, it would drop data even though it showed i had strong signal until i set the min cpu to 700mhz. after i did that i never had any data drop problems
hope that helps
Came here to ask about this. Was wondering why it keeps happening. Was working fine when I was on stock 4.0.4 but since flashing aokp it happens all the time.

I had these issues with aokp and Franco kernel m3. Switched to revolution hd and James Bond kernel. Haven't had a single drop since.

I'm completely stock IMM76I, rooted and I sometimes get data drops.. this happens more frequently when I haven't rebooted my phone for several days. Sometimes the signal letter (H) disappears completely until I turn airplane mode on/off. Other times I see H but there is no data, only a reboot fixes it.
I'm using Tasker to auto-reboot the phone every day at 5AM, but this is gettig really annoying. I wasn't having any issues prior to that IMM76I OTA.

Noticed this was happening only when I was commuting on the highway, my phone loses data connectivity (albeit still showing 'H') and never gets it back until I reboot.
I'll try the set 700MHZ method and report back. But will increasing the min CPU from 350 to 700 hurt battery life a lot?

I'm really hopping they fix this in the next update, it totally ruins the experience of using the phone. You don't know what you'll get half the time.

Based on my exp, you don't lose much battery life. I accidentally left the CPU at minimum 691 MHz and got similar battery life with 307 MHz as my minimum.

If you don't have PRIMELA03* bootloader and I9250XXLA02 radio on ICS 4.0.4 you are going to have these issues. Google even said so!!! ref. http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html dont blame google or samsung this phone is rock solid when used properly

I just noticed I'm on the 4.0.1 bootloader. I'll flash the 4.0.4 one when I get home to see if I can finally get rid of this issue.
I tried flashing radios and RILs and it really hasn't helped...
I had similar issues though mine were mostly when leaving a wifi area my phone would not grab my cell data until I toggled airplane mode on then back off. Later I found out about GetRIL and discovered that most ROMs (due to being based on 4.0.4) have the XXLA02 RIL (Radio Interface Layer) while I was running the UGLC1 radio. GetRIL checks for you and allows you to flash the proper RIL (if rooted with busybox). I flashed the matching UGLC1 RIL and havent had a drop since

u say always the same response to everywhere...but its wrong (PRIMEKL03 doesn't exists..did u noticed?)
the suggested bootloader is the PRIMELA03..that page have just a typo (i asked to jbq and he confirmed the typo, he will update in future that page)
and EVERYONE have the correct PRIMELA03 bootloader
the signal issue is related to some bugs in the 4.0.4 roms
it happens randomly for some people in some network conditions..is like the phone is not able to get the data network...no way to solve this until a next update from google
the people that said "i solved by changing radio/rom/etc", just didnt test long enough to get the same problem again
if u (and of course lot of other people) don't have any network problem, then u are lucky living in a place where the network and ur operator are perfect...end of story
i'm not pessimistic, this phone is perfect, but will be really perfect when they will fix this...i had other android phones before this, and none had this problems...i know everything about radios, apn, networks..but there is nothing i can do to make it working fine ALWAYS..sometimes the mobile network works, sometime there is no way, even after a reboot, only moving temporarly to a different area solve the problem sometimes, even if signal was full bar

As per my previous post I didnt change my Radio but rather matched my Radio to my RIL (Radio Interface Layer). My phone hasnt dropped data in the longest time since I've owned it and shows no signs of ever dropping it (unless of course I lose signal ).

This question has been asked way too many times. I say the same response because it helps people solve this problem. The bootloader and radio configuration needs to be correct at least as a starting point and first step in trouble shooting. you assume everyone has the correct bootloader and radio, now that is just presumptuous. I'm so happy that you know "everything" about radios bootloaders and apns that is righteous! your post was very helpful, a great help thanks so much.

This is actually not true. I was on 4.0.4 but had the 4.0.1 bootloader somehow.
I haven't had a single data drop since flashing the new bootloader with XXLA02. The real test will be tomorrow, when I take my phone into work (big metal building). If I get no data drops at all tomorrow, problem fixed.
Hi All.
My phone loses connectivity to the internet once every day or so and I finally figured out that the date and time are being reset somehow. The time is several hours off, and the date resets to 1968 or 69. Something crazy. Once I tell it to not sync automatically and set the date and time manually, i regain connectivity to the internet and things are good for a while, but it seems to always happen again.
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy SIII with ATT. I have rooted it and am using the latest 10.1 Cyanogen mod nightly build and am keeping fairly up to date with them although the problem has been there even with the Stable version of 10.0.
Any ideas? The phone is less than 2 weeks old, so it would be nice to know if i got a lemon before I can't take it back anymore.
Thanks!

Hey,
I'm having the same issue. I am with Bell, using AOKP.
Did you ever get this solved? Does anyone know anything about dealing with this? My phone won't get any signal unless I do the same idea (no signal at boot -> turn off auto date/time -> reboot, set manually, get signal, switch to auto
I've noticed that there is no automatic time zone option with the current version of 4.3. As a result, when you travel to a different time zone the system clock remains the time zone in which it was set. This appears to be an oversight and causes a problem if automatic time option is on.
I guess no one travels with their n7 to other time zones to realize the problem.
I just figured it was since it was WiFi only it wouldn't automatically update... Though I would think it could use location services to update it. Was on east coast for a couple days last week, on WiFi but it never changed. Use my phone as the alarm so want a huge deal to me.
I can confirm the problem, it's not really convenient
