Hi there.
My Hermes is running WM6 (Shamanix Grass Rom) and for some strange reason whenever I set the time to GMT+10 (Sydney) it will change it back to GMT +10(Vladivostok) after a few hours or a few days. This is annoying during Daylight savings times as my phone can be out of time by an hour.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I don't really want to Hard Reset it because setting up my 3G Services is a massive pain.
Thanks,
maybe you can try settings->personal->phone->time zone
and disable auto time zone and clock
Ok, Tried that. I'll see how it goes in the next few days
Recently I have noticed that my clock on my home screen stops completely and i have to constantly set it to the right time.
Anyone else with same problem or know how i can fix the problem?
First stop, hard reset. Make sure it's software at fault. Then reload all your programs/tweaks bit by bit and note when the problem occurs. This should tell you what caused it.
I have hard reseted before this problem. Before I do it again I want to know if there is another way.
I have noticed that it is a 3G problem. When I switch the phone band from Auto (3G) to GSM, the clock fixes it self and updates the clock correctly. When I switch the band back to auto, clock is fine again but gradually loses time and stops again. So I kow it is when I am on the 3G band I have this problem.
Any advice or clues why?

how much time does it lose? does syncing with the internet fix it?
I had a time sync problem to do with daylight savings which was fixed with a registry edit.
it loses about 20 minutes to 30 minutes. I never had this problem before. how do I sync it with the internet?
Has anyone found a solution to this. I have exact same problem but it only occurs like once a week I usually lost 5 to 10 minutes and that trick changing Band from auto to GSM and back works for me too.
Is it possible that is operator incident
Same problem here.
I am also experiencing the same problems.
I also noticed this a few days ago. I just switched off and back on and the clock corrected itself.
I've had this problem for some time too; my clock used to lose some 10-12 hours at once, but I've seemed to solve it after I did the following:
Updated S2U2 to latest version, and poked in it's configuration.
Turned off the Automatic Timezone/Clock Correction:
- Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Timezones.
If this doesn't help, you can use SKTSync in the meantime, to help you correct the clock when it's faulty again. Just run the program, and it will sync the clock to a timeserver.
Since a few days my Touch's clock time is about 3 minutes ahead of real time. It does not accept the time synchronized with activesync and when I use synchrotime the wrong time is back after a couple of minutes.
Any idea what could cause this disturbing behaviour?

When sync'ing with pc, make sure you have allowed for syncronizing date & time
When pc is connected to HD, open Activesync > Tools > Options > Settings > and ensure 'Syncronize pocket pc date & time upon connecting' is ticked
Thank you very much for trying to help me.
Time synchro in activesync is activated.
Perhaps this helps to explain my problem:
When I update my time using Synchrotime over the internet connected via wlan the query shows a time difference of 179.00 seconds. When adjusting to the correct time the wrong one is back after a couple of minutes without doing nothing at all on my touch. The time difference stays between 150 und 179 seconds so the time is not running too slow.
Hmmmm. Haunted black stone! Some one is updating you time in the background.. may be your phone service provider
Go to Settings>Phone>Time Zones> Uncheck - Automatic Change Time zone and clock. See if that helps.
Great! Deactivating the synchro via phone solved the problem.

hi there I followed your instructions and it did fix my time clock but when i get text msgs the once i get they come with 3 hours ahead, but if i leave it with time zones my time is out 3 hours. all these after applying one click root on a HTC INSPIRE , sorry i couldn't find thread similar for inspire.
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.
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
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.
Hi, I have the same problem. is there any way to solve this problem? I have stock lolipop.

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?

Hi I've had the phone for about 3 months now and it's only in the last week that I noticed my screen timeout is not sticking. I set it to 1 minute but it always reverts back to 15 seconds. I enabled /disabled smart stay and in secure lock settings I set it to lock automatically when the screen is off instead of giving it the default 5 seconds.
Anyone has similar issues or suggestions please?
I'm having the same issue! Been looking online for over a month for solutions and have come up empty. It seems as though it isn't on Samsung's radar yet for it to be resolved with an Android update because the recent one didn't address the issue

I had this same issue and it was driving me nuts. However, I found a workaround that seems to be working. Change your screen time out to something else, like 2 minutes and press back until you're out of the settings. Then go back in and change it to 1 minute. For whatever reason, this fixed it for me
