Is there any code to set the time on boot up - or to prevent the date going back to something like may 2006 each time i swap sims.
It even screws up the recent calls list - as suddenly the true most recent calls were "last year".
My watch can set itself 5 times a day from radio signals and sunlight - so surely a wizard can have a wee look on the net for the time?

I have been having this problem for awhile and thought it would change based on different ROM and radios, but it doesn't.
Strangely I don't remember this happening right when I got the phone, but then again, I might not have noticed, or it might have started after I first reflashed (to the official 8525 update 2.15)
If I leave the phone in the default Auto band select mode, with any ROM and radio (although I never tried going back to the initial shipped one) I get almost every call dropped if I have a 3G signal. It also happens with data. I will be in a call and suddenly the sound both ways will cut out, I look at the phone and the 3G has changed to G. The call won't "end" until I press the end key, but there is no sound either way. The same thing will happen with data like if say I am streaming music. The icon will turn from 3G to G and then eventually reconnect.
If I set it on GSM only, this never (well almost, no dropped calls, but the icon will randomly flash to G now and then... maybe happened like twice) happens and no calls or data connections are dropped.
When I was in Africa I used an Areeba SIM and while the signal was only G (E in Accra, the capital of Ghana) most of the time, I never once had a dropped call.
My phone is in great condition, with a plastic case and what not, and has only been like, really lightly dropped (like fallen out of my pocket when changing or something, maybe a few inches) a couple times, but nothing remotely like bad.
I've noticed that if I set it to WCDMA only, I get only a few dropped calls and data and only if I lose service. Which led me to believe the problem was with switching from 3G to E/G.
I looked around on here and saw that a few other people had dropped calls as well, but can't help but wonder if this is a physical hardware problem or a network problem or a problem with the radio version.
What's weird is that I noticed it happens even in strong 3G areas (I'm in New Jersey) like Long Branch and New York City.
Any ideas?
This is a well documented problem. As you have discovered the solution is to use an application like Danielhererro's Bandswitch application (see commmgrpro) to force it to one band or another. The Hermes is set to constantly swap to strongest band - it does not do this well at all. Even within one room for example the signal can vary from one band being strongest to another. This is not a fault peculiar to your phone!!.

Since three weeks my alarm function doesn´t work right. My Triny should ring at 6:25pm but does it one hour later. Watch this:
What is going on here?

Check your Clock&Alarms Settings. Perhaps you have switched to the Visiting-Time?
or changed some regional code setting?
Yes, I switched to the visitors time, because I live for a half year in Australia. Nevertheless this has worked for one month now and then suddenly occurred problems. When I activate the visitors time, then the alarm should also ring according to this time?!
As you can see in the picture, he really rings at 7:25 and informs me with the screen "6:25 alarm".
I forgot the worst issue: Sometimes the alarm doesn´t appear at all, even though I configured all settings well!
The clock on my wizard keeps resetting to Feb 2006, but not when its low on power.
It just seems to do it randomly and I have no idea why.
Its more of a pain than you would imagine, as if it happens and I miss calls, the calls are added to a fairly random list of calls all showing as Feb 2006 and based on the time the call came after the clock reset, so if there are a few calls, and it has reset a few times, they are entirely all mixed up, and included with previous calls that fell into the same category.
Any ideas, please?!?!
I'm wondering if the battery is making a solid connection. Does it do this completely randomly, even when the phone is on? For example, can you be browsing the web on with the clock set to the correct date, and when you close IE it's February 2006?
If it only does this when the phone is off (soft-reset kind of off, I mean), then I'd look into how solid a connection the battery is making inside the case. Perhaps try wedging something (paper, something non-conductive ) inside the battery case to ensure a proper connection is being made.
If it's doing this randomly and even when the phone is on and active, however, I'm afraid I'm of little help.
go to HTC web site and download a patch that fixes that bub.
if you disconnect the battery from your wizard, he will start with is factory made date
Thanks guys.
It can happen even when the phone is charging - and also always happens if i swap sims.
It also does happen if the battery is removed - which I need to do to restart it sometimes if it crashes. My first phone in 1997 would restart at the right time if you swapped the battery, so to think I have firmware that needs patched to do this eleven years later is freaky.
Have you a link to the patch, and can it be downloaded directly to the phone?

Install this to your device. It might solve your problem.
It happened virtually the second day I had my HD - I looked at the clock and the time shown was one hour and some minutes off. I did not pay any attention at that time. Since then, I have been synchronising it with my PC, so I guess it was updating its clock automatically. This until today... I did not sync and about midday, I noticed again that the clock was off by more than an hour. Mind you I have thicked the option of it syncing the time from the operator.
Any thoughts? This is really annoying since I rely solely on HD for alarms... especially in the morning.
Thanks in advance
off time...
It happened to me too, twice even. But not on the same
day but days apart. What I discovered was if you use
3G, then the trouble starts. In my place, 3G is unreliable,
and the signal strength goes in and out, and sometimes,
no signal. If no signal, then no time sync with operator.
I switched to GSM and everything is ok again.
Anybody here having problems with late time under 3G??
Interesting observation regarding the 3G connection to time. I usually have it on GSM for battery reasons, but sometimes I switch it to 3G. However, today I believe I had it constantly on GSM... and it did happen. The strangest thing is that it goes off not by minutes but more than one hour (at least in my case). Anybody else with a similar observation?
time inaccurate
Hmmm, I don't have the problem when on GSM at all.
However, I also noticed that if you pullout your phone
from your pocket/bag using the touch screen area instead
of the sides, you automatically activate the time configuration screen area. Maybe this is the cause. Try
observing on how often you grab your phone via the screen
instead of the sides, especially if you are in a hurry or
unaware of it.
I have the same problem with clock. The phohe changes time itself, happened three times to me. Does anyone has the solution to this problem?
I have this issue when I am out of GSM coverage (which sometimes happens when I have the phone with me in the bedroom at night, Orange coverage poor here).
Somewhat annoying to find the clock 30 mins late
I've got some serious issues with my Nexus 4, I've found posts with similar problems but not exactly what I have. I'm at a loss what to do next so any advice would be much appreciated.
I bought a N4 around March this year, direct from Google, and connected it to TPG Mobile here in Australia which uses the Optus network.
It was fine until about the end of May or beginning of June where it started losing signal regularly. First thing I noticed is it would start dropping calls and displaying "No network available", the triangular status bar at the top would go blank (completely black, not grey) for about 30 seconds, then it would return to normal signal and I could make calls again. However it would do this every few minutes, whether I was on a call or not, and each time it would last roughly 30 seconds and then return to normal.
Around the same time I started to receive SMS on either a delay, or they'd arrive on-time, but then keep sending multiple times for about the next hour.
I rang Google, they got me to go through recovery mode, then it worked fine, for about 24 hours, before it started again. They sent me a new device, which did the same thing within hours of activation, so I requested a 3rd device. At the same time I thought it might be the sim card, so I got a new one of those too.
My 3rd device and new sim card worked perfectly for about 3 days then the same problem started. Factory resets etc seem to fix the problem for either minutes or hours, but never permanently.
Then last week I noticed further weird symptoms, I started getting the usual sms to say someone had called and left a voicemail, however my phone never showed any sign of a call (visual, audio or missed call in the call log). I confirmed with several people who tried calling me and they confirmed the phone rang on their end before going to VM. I tried it myself from a landline and it randomly rings or doesn't ring on my end, however I also noticed when I hung up on the landline without answering my Nexus 4, it continued to ring indefinitely, ie. it hadn't registered the caller hung up.
My provider assures me there isn't an issue in my area, my wife uses the same provider (with an iphone) and has not had these issues. I can't swap sim cards with her though as she has a full-size sim. I tried another sim with my phone for a few hours and it worked fine, however my phone with my sim will sometimes go a whole day without issues so it wasn't long enough to truly test it.
I've deleted all apps that might somehow affect it and the hasn't helped either.
Basically I'd like to know is this likely to be a phone issue, and I pursue the issue with Google, or some sort of network/sim issue and I pursue it with my provider?
