every now and then, like every 2 days my clock goes back an hour, even when its synced, anyone know whats going on? i have the correct gmt setting just dont know why its doing that.
I assume you are sync'ing the clock with your PC when you sync? Might be worth checking the PC clock at the same time (when the clock is wrong) and see if that is also wrong, it could be a PC clock issue rather than a PPC one.
Is also worth checking that you have the same regional local set on both the pocket pc and your PC. I found that despite setting my XDA to GMT the regional local was still the US rather than UK.
Ensure you've got daylight saving enabled as well.
Some weather apps etc sync the time, so might not be set correctly to DLS time either.

thanks for all your input, i checked through all those and everything seems to be right, hasnt happened since i posted this problem last night. hopefully it wont happen again, but its just odd that it happens sometimes, and what bothers me is its off from the pc time.
My Clock keeps switching the time back 3 hours on me...Randomly. And when I reboot the phone. Its very frustrating..Any help?
did you set your region correctly?and under ALARM setting make sure you select "HOME"..sound silly but it happened to me once lol
You can also select it to run on internet time. Just go to setting/dataservices/internet time sync. This should help out I think.
mine did this when I enabled the internet time.. when I disabled, it worked as it should.
As I write this, my Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Apple IPod Touch and other WiFi connected devices in my house are all showing 1145
My nexus 10 is showing 1140.
All these devices have "automatic date time" in Settings and are connected to the same WiFi network.
I have also set the time manually but it will still lose time over a few hours.
This isn't a big issue, just an annoyance really. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas for a solution?

I can confirm that I'm having the same issue, it was off by over 10 minutes using the time servers after the first night and right now is slow by around 8 after setting it manually yesterday morning. No idea as to a solution yet.
My Nexus 10 32gb is keeping perfect time.
I have the 32gb Nexus 10. I installed the OTA, I'm currently on JOP40C.

I have the same problem. It is now 16:52 in Germany, but my Nexus shows 16:47. I wonder what could cause this strange behaviour
10 minutes behind. 32gb USB in usa
I dont have this problem. maybe in date & Time settings, tick "automatic data&time" will solve it?
Same problem here, ticking "automatic data&time" on and off does not solve it. In fact setting the correct time manually and ticking automatic back on "corrects" the time to the wrong time instantly.
A reboot helps most of the time, but sooner or later it jumps back to a wrong time (usually 3-10 minutes off).
My Nexus 7 on 4.2 does not show this bug.
Could be a wonky timeserver (unlikely?) or a bug that only manifests on the N10. Set the time manually for now.

This is strange. I got my nexus on friday and never had to set up the time manually. The time is correct al the time. Will keep watching this.
Submitted a bug report, please star and comment so Google will fix this quickly:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39951&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
I threw my info up there. I called Google and they're sending me a replacement.
Added: It seems that when you reboot it forces a time sync. That sync is OK, but the hardware is keeping time slower than it should I found most of the time it was 5 minutes per hour off, but sometimes it's fine.
Every time I rebooted with a Wi-Fi connection it was OK, but slowly drifted.
The Google rep I spoke with confirmed that I had done a factory reset and then did a replacement.
I am having the same problem with all of my Android devices, but not that badly. However, time starts to drift around 10-30 seconds over time.
I tend to blame Android for this behaviour, because it synchronizes time not often enough, and depending on the accuracy og the integrated clock, it starts to drift. Does anyone know how often Android actually sets the correct time? And why does it not always use the GPS clock as a reference, if GPS is available?
The worst thing about it is that you cannot use NTP servers to automatically set the time without rooting a device. I have an app installed called clock sync, which measures time and gives a hint if it differes by a user defined threshold from the current time, but if yu want to make that app sync your clock, you have to root your device
Time does not drift on my device. I have set it to manual ~12 hours ago and it's accurate within 1 second.
The automatic time&date update via network makes it jump to the incorrect time, so this is not a matter of precision but clearly a different kind of (software) bug.
I just checked mine again...still locked in on the correct time...Automatic settings.
My Nexus is updated, unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery (CWM) and rooted. I got the tablet Friday night, played with it for a while after setting it up but never checked the time to see if it was off.
I unlocked/flashed/rooted it Saturday and then saw this post on time drift/errors. Since Saturday the tablet has been on and time has been correct.
Maybe the system is trying to compensate the lack of december, as it would reach january too early
http://www.androidcentral.com/santa-s-going-be-mad-google-forgot-about-december
As Valynor said, automatic time&date update via network making it jump to the incorrect time makes it seem like a software problem.
There is a free app in the market called ClockSync, works great. Personally I'm having no time issues with mine though.
clocksync requires root to actually sync so it works for some but not everyone. I'd personally rather not be forced to use the app for something the tablet should be doing anyway.
The time bug is even weirder:
-went to bed with time set to manual, Nexus 10 was running for about 12 hours, time was accurate within the second
-9 hours later: switched N10 on (from standby), time was 2 minutes off
-rebooted (with automatic time&date still set to OFF!): time is correct again (1 second off) after the reboot
Conclusion: something is messing with the display of the system time, alas the internal clock seems to keep the correct time nevertheless.
Great news! Your replacement order on Google Play has shipped. Track the status of your package UPS #********************9. Note that it may take 24 hours for your tracking number to return any information.

Good for you, but I don't think it's likely that the whole time bug thing is a hardware issue.
Hi,
I checked the web on this issue and have found it being reported on other sites but I can't seem to find the resolution, if there is one....
I received my Nexus 4 last Friday. Been digging it ever since. I came from the SG2 Skyrocket on att. I realized how much I miss the pure Android experience on a phone without the carrier's bloatware and manufacturer software.
however during the Super Bowl, my buddies and I discovered a weird bug on the phone. Upon waking up from a "long" hibernation, my time/clock is off by 20-30 minutes. Once I reboot the phone, the time is corrected. However, it's kinda weird waking up in the morning, my bedside clocks displays the correct time but when i wake up my phone, the time/clock is incorrect.
Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know the resolution??
Much thanks..........
It happened to me once or twice before on my N4 stock/rooted. What is your setup under Settings>Date and Time ? Sometimes when you have Automatic date & time and Automatic time zone enabled and you are out of mobile network service, the time doesn't get updated until your phone mobile connection is restored. In my opinion, this behavior smells like a bug. Post a screen shot of that settings page if you could....

Hi Hash,
Thanks for the feedback. I went into the settings, as you directed, and see that both Automatic date & time (use network provided time) and Automatic time zone (use network provided time zone ) are both checked.
I will try and take a picture tomorrow morning for, again, it was weird looking at my cell phone which says 5:35am when my bedside clock showed 6:00am.

My Issue with Pictures
All,
To document what is happening to my phone, I am attaching pictures to this post. The early morning picture post, I had my Wifi turned on. After the pictures were taken, I turned off WiFi an let it go int hibernation until I woke up at 6am. As you'll see in the second picture, my time/clock was way off.
I am using Beautiful Widgets for the clock but can't see that causing my issues.
Any thoughts? Hate to return the phone for I'm really loving it but don't want the phone if I can't depend on the time!
Thanks!

Have you tried the stock clock to see if Beautiful widgets is the issue. Try that first. Next thing I would try is to leave WiFi on during sleep and see if the issue is fixed. I would expect to have some lag after a wakeup for the clock to update but no more than 15 seconds. Good luck.

Thanks Grubbster -- I have to admit and I'm somewhat embarrassed in doing so, I couldn't figure out how to use the stock clock on my home screen and when I couldn't figure it, I thought "hey, I purchased Beautiful Widgets...I'll just add that clock to my screen....".
FYI -- I have always left my wifi on during the night and into hibernation. Last night I had the brain child thinking maybe it's the Wifi that is causing my delays for when I first noticed the time issue on Sunday, it was while I had my Wifi on....so I thought I'd turn it off to see if the time would be correct......freaking weird....

The stock clock is a widget. Just go into your widgets, long press the clock, and drag it to your home screen. Also, does the clock in the status bar show the correct time when waking up?
Check your beautiful widget app settings to see if there is anything related to updating system settings. Maybe a frequency (10 min, 15 min, etc.) that needs to be changed.

Ok. Thanks -- duh -- there it is. I'll try this for a day to see if this will resolve the issue.
This has happened to me once, on Faux's kernel. It was my first time ever undervolting my device, and I undervolted by -100 mV (fast binned chip). It did it twice, and both during deep sleep. But the time corrected itself once I go into Settings > Date & Time and unchecking-and-rechecking the Auto Time setting.
Do you use a task killer?

No. No task killer....though I have to admit....I was discussing my issue with a fellow phone geek. He believes my 2 options are: if it's an internal hardware issue, I'll need to get a new phone if it loses connection to the antenna which connects to my att network for the time/clock. Or if it's a software issue, then maybe a flash can resolve it.
I'm also going to contact Google later today and see what my return options are if, by tomorrow, I'm still experiencing this..
Thanks...
Hello
I have my G2 for 3 days now, and I keep having the same weird problem every morning when I turn it on: the clock "looses" one day, and either advances or loses a few minutes.
Yesterday I checked as the hour went past 00h and the date changed to day 19, thursday ('I'm on GMT 00). The phone and computer had the same time.
I left my phone off during the night, and today when I turned it on I found it at 10.00 o'clock (8 minutes in advance of my computer). It also switched back to the 18th, wednesday. The weather/time app still detects it was last updated on the 19th.
I have automatic date-time-timezone switched off. If I turn it on, it will sync with the Internet and correct the hour, but that does not fix the problem.
Any ideas on what's happening? Any suggestions?
I'm on Android 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.0
Software D80210b-EUR-XX
Yesterday (after midnight) I switched the phone off for more than 10 minutes, switched back on: all ok
Restarted the phone: was ok - up till 3 am the date/time was correct.
Turn it off, woke up this morning, turned it on: 5 minutes delayed, date went back to the 19th.
It seems what is happening is not really a lost of time. Today as I turned the phone on, it was showing 10:24, 20th (yesterday). This was over half an hour ahead of correct time. This happened after I had the phone off for 3 hours, so it's not a delay that increases as proportional to the time the phone is off. It must have something to do with some date/time on the settings, that override actual date/time.
I think this is like a "return to last settings", in this case, I believe this was the date/time set when I turned the phone on yesterday morning.
I already went by all apps I think could be related, but I can find no relevant option to prevent this.
That is indeed strange, maybe someone else around here can help you with that.
I don't think many people turn their phones off during the night.
Hi i think this is the same for all g2, my phone does the same thing once you turn it off the device is literally off. I am sure if you check the battery time it will show only from the time you rebooted it and not from last full charge. At the beginning i reported this issue but didn't get any reply but with further investigation i reached to the conclusion it wasn't an issue with device.
Any way regarding date time issue, you can simply make sure its automatically synchronized with network that way no matter whether its on or off it will be correct.

its probably cmos battery if phone has one, try warrantee
Thank you for your input
I've done a few more tests. I've flashed a different firmware, but it still does the same. This originally came with 10B-SEA, and I flashed it to 10B-EUR (UK open). Now it's back to SEA.
I've contacted LG about this, and they told me it's under analysis.
The phone will not loose date and time if it's powered off for one hour. After two hours it will happen and it will go back to the last time the phone was powered on and the clock was set.
I've been keeping it synced with the network time, and that way it works fine, but that's not a permanent fix. Yesterday I unchecked the automatic time, left it powered off for two hours, and it went back to monday.
I've read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580974, and it seems to be related.
Same problem with date and time
I do have the same problem. My phone model is D802 (international variant). But as far as I remember, this issue did not start from the day one. I purchased the phone some 2 months back. It was fine on the JB. It remained fine even after the KitKat update. But one day, my phone did show some weird problems. Serious lag coupled with overheating and battery drain. I did a factory reset because the phone was hardly usable at that point. After the reset, lag + overheat and battery issue was gone, but I remember that after that incident, it started this weird date/time sync issue. There is something which I wish to highlight by the attached screenshot. There is always a broken curve of battery usage whenever the date/time reverts which happens whenever you keep the phone switched off for a few hours. I am not a technical person, but this might be related to the battery.
Anyone have any luck with this? The main problem that this is causing is that when emails, texts, messages come in whilst the clock is incorrect (before it updates), these items get put out of sync with when they did actually arrive.
I contacted LG and they said...
If you have both options ticked, I would advise you to try and perform a hard factory reset. Before doing the reset, please ensure that you back up all of your files as all data will be lost during the reset. The details of the reset are as follows:
Turn the phone off
Press and hold the power key and the volume down key together
Release the power key only when the LG logo appears and immediately press and hold it again
Release both keys when the hard factory screen shows up
Select yes (use the power key to select yes)
Select yes again
This will then take you through the set up of the phone, and the issue should be resolved. I hope this helps you.
I haven't yet tried this, as from what I've read elsewhere, this wont fix it, plus it is a bit of a hassle to copy everything off and then reset, then et everything back on the way it was and all apps, etc.
Hi,
I've the same problem.
Can you tell me if Hard factory reset or LG support had resolved this issue?
I'm currently using ClockSync app that sync time every 3h and at boot.
The clock seems not to be very accurate : 1.139s of local offset in 2h...
I've tested the Clock_offset_fix. I'll update this post when I'll be sure that this solution is ok for me or not...

This is not an issue per say. It's just that the device is built this way..... So as far as I know there is no fix to this. Except you can have accurate date and time if you have a sim card in the device and auto date&tme option is ticked in settings. You see the device doesn't have a pc like cmos rom to store basic info like date and time. So when u turn off the device that info isn't maintained and becomes corrupted after some time but it is corrected when synchronized with the cell network provider at boot.

Same problem for me, date and time are wrong for some seconds after boot.
Than it switch correctly to the current date and time.
Make sure you have setting > date and time > automatic sync for all options...
On my phone it start wrong than it correct itself if internet is enabled.
The problem ia when mobile data is OFF. :'(

Yes, I have automatic sync on, but the problem is when I can't access internet. What if I install Cyanogenmod?
