I had the same problem, I went to France the past 2 days and every now and then the time on my phone changed, even when the option to auto sync time is set to false. I Live in Belgium so France is still the same GMT +1.

Try upgrading to the newest stock ROM. I saw you still run 1.07.x, but there is already a version 1.36.x.

It's not the ROM. Mine has been doing it ever since we went to daylight saving in the UK. Jumping forward an hour every day or so.

tryied to upgrade but i got the error 294 invalid vender
anyway i opened a case with HTC
but i thing my problem is due to daylight saving
but not so sure because at the same time i was in Greece wich is also diferent time zone

Does anyone know if a hard reset fixes the problem?

Maybe, but also check the values of:
HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Clock\HomeDST
and
HKLM\\Software\Microsoft\Clock\NetworkTimeSync

Is that the same as enabling/disabling the automatic time in the phone options?
BTW what value should be in those entries? Thanks

Try to set both of them to "0", soft reset, set the correct time and time zone through settings and check if the problem still exists.

Doesn't work. As soon as I activate the automatic time, it increases 1 hour

The automatic hour must be deactivated.

This is the process to de-activate auto time update.
Go to:
Settings> Menu> All Settings> Personal> Phone> (search for) GSM/UMTS Services> Time Synchronization (second last option in list)> get settings. Un-check "automatic change time zone..."> Done
now the time will not update automatically.

That's in post #6.

I knew that, that's how I solved it long time ago, but what I'm trying to do is to make the automatic time work again, since I find it quite useful

Useful of what?

When traveling for example. Thanks for the tip anyway

i followed the instructions from NitroNitrous old thread where you disable the updates.
(very well hidden settings).
Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".
thanks NitroNitrous
I have aslo an open case with HTC as soon i will get update i willl pass over
One other guess is that the provider has incorect setting. could be that the case ?

I thought about that, since it happened when they changed the time for the daylight saving thing, but it's hard to believe that many providers in different parts of the world have made the same mistake

nah! it's clearly a bug, something like network is sending the correct hour but the phone is applying by always adding daylight time saving again...

That's why there are two choices for time zone, under "Clock & Alarms".

Setting the correct time?

I can't seem to get my cingular 8125 to get the correct time when I choose the time zone. It is an hour behind when I select central time and when I change it manually it sets itself back an hour a day or two later. It use to work fine when I was still on the east cost. Is there anyway I can set the time permantly? It is really annoying since I use it as my alarm clock. Thanks
For different areas, change the time zone and not the time.

also check to see if you have selected summer time too!!
Sounds like maybe you have a 2.24 ROM? (kinda hard to tel!) If so, remove the checkmark from Network Time in the Phone settings.
yeah I have the 2.24a rom and I can't find the network time checkbox in the phone options. Also I did change the time zone, time zone is an hour off
Anybody? is there a quick fix or do I have to flash to another rom? Thanks.

I've been meaning to ask this question as well. I just haven't gotten around to it. I'll be watching for an answer.
do u use a spare battery? cuz i do
bump
please help.
it never used to do this.
i used to change my batteries all the time, and it never screws up the time. but now it is. whats going on?
answer..
maybe this is the problem.. go to settings --> in personal: click on phone... go to the time zone tab and make sure the automatic change time zone and clock tab is not check.. that should work hopefully
Maybe you got a problem with your internal battery..when you search more in this forum, there are testimonials about that specially when you remove the battery out of you device then put it back on.. and that also happens to me..my solution?never remove the battery
But sometimes, there are instances that this occurs when you sync your phone to PC thru ActiveSync and you got the "Sync PC time to Phone" option enabled AND you have different Regional Settings on your device and on your PC, you need to uncheck that option at ActiveSync..please check.

Clock adds 1 hour after soft reset

After the recent time change, my clock is ****ed up. Every time I restart the phone, it adds 1 hour. So, if it's 13:00 and I restart the phone 4 times, it says 17:00. It only happens when the phone service is activated. Ideas?
I have similar problem. The phone adds an hour or two randomly, and resets it self to correct time randomly.
Using the latest offical ROM from HTC.
The timestamps on SMS will also get the incorrect time if the time is wrong.
Is it possible to turn off any automatic time adjustments?

Yes, check this out. I did it and now the time is right, so I guess is something wrong with my service provider
I don't find the menus described in the linked page.
I have the same problem.
Any solutions?
Thnx

Well they're slightly different because of the HTC Sense and the Windows version, but in the Mini the steps are:
Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".
awesome, thank you. i started to freak out
No prob, but I consider this a temporal solution, since I'm interested in having automatic time when I travel
I can report my clock worked fine after your tip.
Thanks

Same Issue HD2
I have the same issue on a HD2 (with Dutty Fam v5 ROM). I'm in the CET timezone (Amsterdam) with DST (occurred last weekend).
It even occurs when I turned off the Network Identity and Time Zone(NITZ). After a soft-reset an hour is added just after Sense is loaded completely.
I can get the right time back by:
1. changing the timezone
2. go back to a city in my own timezone
3. go back to my location
I turned of Sense and resstarted the phone again. Now it doesn't add an hour, so I think it has to be something in HTC Sense location service.
I switch back on the Network Identity and Time Zone(NITZ), and it directly an hour is added.
Now I'm confused.... So my provider (Vodafone NL) is also an Issue.

Thanks it's working now.

Wow that must be a weird bug in some HTC Phones then... I think we should contact HTC and inform them about it or something
FWIW, I don't use sense and I have the time shift problem too. Just unchecked the "Time Synchronization" setting... we'll see...
Me too, I've unchecked the "time syncronization" and since now it's working fine.
tkx it works 4 me too...
All htc mini users - use this workaround for clock problem

Thanks a bunch Nitro.
I just hard-reseted my HD Mini and the problem is still there So no automatic time change anymore
Could it be a Vodafone NL thing ?
I live in Denmark, has a HTC HD Mini, and did never before have problems with wrong adjustment of time.
Nore here in Denmark, England - and also Holland before summer.
Last week I was in Holland again, where the clock went craisy
It just keep adding 1,2,3 and 4 hours to my time. Without any reset or any thing else.
Removed the aut. time adjustment, as described above, whereafter the time was correct for the remaing time in Holland.
When I returned to Denmark, I activated the aut. timezone adjustment again.
After one day, the phone did a one hour adjustement.
A week after, the time is still correct.
ONLY in holland the timezone adjustment went craisy ?

You can get correct automatic time change by: settings tab => Data services => Time synchronisation.
Not sure of the english menu name in french it's: services de données => synchronisation de l'heure.
Sorry for my english,

Does it work using 3G? Because I have no fixed plan with my provider so I'd have to pay for the connection

Time changing to wrong time

Hi all,
Just a quick feeler
I know a few people that have reported the phone time keeps changing to be several hours out on its own, most if not all are connected to orange network here in the UK,
Is any one else seeing this strange behaviour?
Boyise
this is because of googles services i believe, use bsb tweaks to turn off auto sync time

I have the problem, and I too am on Orange UK, however with my sim card in an old phone the time updates correctly.
Hello. Same issue here, also on Orange. Auto time zone turned off, seems to have sorted it so far....
I am having the same problem. I am with T-Mobile UK but using roaming to share Orange network.
How do you turn off auto time zone? I don't have BSB tweaks installed.
I'm having the same issue.
The clock randomly changes itself sometimes by one, two or even eight hours. I have tried disabling everything I can find - such as HTC location service and internet time sync... I am in the UK on 3 Mobile.
May get in contact with HTC, but they're probably going to blame our custom ROMs.
EDIT: You should check out the other thread "Winter time change" - loads of people have this issue. It's been reported to HTC and a fix is due. The current workaround is:

I've been pulling my hair out all day, trying to fix this 'randomly changing hour' problem. I think I might have found a solution:
Go to Phone/Menu/Options/Menu/Network Selection/GSM-UMTS Services/Time Synchronisation/ and set it to unchecked.
My time has not changed since.
Good luck...

'Settings' -> 'Menu' -> 'All Settings' -> 'Personal' -> 'Phone' -> 'GSM/UMTS Services' -> 'Time Synchronization'. The select 'Get Settings'. 'Untick the Automatic change time zone and clock'.
Thanks hopefully that fixes it.
thanks for the info.
Weird that its suddenly not functioning normal anymore. hope this wil fix it..

Wrong automatic time zone

Since my s7 edge was updated to android nougat, the time zone is wrong.
I'm in Argentina with Telecom Personal operator, I've already called them but they don't seem to understand.
When my phone is restarted I get three hours ahead of my time zone (Buenos Aires is -3 GTM). If I make a call, the hour will automatically correct itself, but I don't want to be forced to call someone everyone I wanna restart my phone only to have the right time, its nonsense!
I'm fixing it by setting the time manually but it's not the ideal. I really can't believe this issue!
Any ideas?

My girlfriend's S7 edge had the same issue. Finally figured it out, hopefully this helps you. Go to settings -> date and time -> select time zone, then make sure it is set to your time zone. For some reason when hers updated the other day it changed the time zone.

Yes I did that, but does it stays the same when restarting? On automatic?
Because the issue is when you restart on automatic. For me it changes to 0 GTM all over again
I suggest you take a look at your csc. When updating to nougat, the csc maybe using the wrong operator and it is over riding your sim card which shows and connects to the correct time zone.

Yes, after setting the time zone, setting back to auto and rebooting it stays the correct time.
