Hi I have a rooted nexus 4 and starting yesterday and continuing on to today my time has been wrong. When I check it's either ahead or behind by anywhere from 10 min to a few hours. I used ClockSync a few times to fix it, but within 30 min my time is wrong again. My date & time settings are set to automatic aswell as my time zone. Any ideas on what I should do? Should I contact my service provider (WIND Mobile)?
EDIT: I called WIND and they had no answers, just told me to take my phone somewhere to get fixed. I can just set clocksync to automatically fix my time, but I would rather not have the extra process running in the background. Anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated lol
EDIT 2: I factory reset my phone and it still hasn't fixed my time problem. Can anyone help?

For some funny reason, my phone is ok on all accounts except for 1 feature: The clock tends to go from pm to am all of a sudden, for no reason. e.g. if the current time is 10 pm, suddenly it may become 10 am, and I have to reset it. This goes on several times a day. I spoke to HTC customer service, we went through all our settings, and they could not find out why.
Can someone please help me out ?
hi again, can anybody please help ?
could the clock on your pc be wrong? long shot, but maybe its synching a dfferent time or time zone or something......
Hi folks!
Few weeks ago, my HD started to NOT to show actual time on homescreen.
For example, as I'm writing this, it's 19:23 and my HD shows 19:05.
I didn't figure it out why it does that...
When I soft reset it, that helps, but after 12 hours (or so) it starts to do it again...
I did search for the solution, but without success...

That's exactly the same problem happen with my HD. Even I already flashed my ROM.
Anybody can help.....?
@ksunarko - do you get this straight after the flash? Or after you've set the phone up, installed the apps you want etc?
It could be an app you both have installed which is causing a problem... I've not heard of the issue from others though.
Although, recently my phone has twice shown the time as 00:00 on the wm6.5 lock screen, Manila is OK though. Soft-booting sorts it out each time. It's been alright for a couple of days though.
Problem report
Lately I'm having this problem too. Mine stays two hours behind. 2 hours that make the diference for my time zone. So I've synced my location and that did the trick. It changed my time zone back in the clock settings and corrected the actual time. But still this is a problem, because if this happens over night and you have set a wake up alarm in the morning for a important meeting you ain't gonna make it...
I recon there is a registry setting that defines your default timezone, so if you change that to your time zone should do the trick... I think .
Also,
I'm not sure if it's related but, since this started happening I'm having signal issues sometimes I can't make myself clear to the other person when talking. It's always braking up so I have to ask if he/she understood.
Also I was keeping it only on the gsm band to save some battery... and I figured it could be operator related or that something's gone wrong with GSM signal thingamagig so i've changed that to auto band (3g+GSM).
Should I worry, is my HD a gonner should I sell it, get a newer model...
What do you think abuot it?
Hey all, the clocks have gone back an hour today to gmt. However my nexus one with cm6.1 is still showing the bst time. I have automatic time selected in settings, so it's supposed to be taking it from the network. I don't want to have to go to manual time selection if possible.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
I'm on O2 and it changed over without any problems.
Not sure if its a phone setting or it comes from the network but either way it worked
Orange here and time changed automatically
Fixed itself
Hmm... After selecting and selecting the automatic time option a few times, it seems to have fixed itself.
I wish out had done it automatically - my alarm went off an hour early!
You can use ClockSync to avoid such problems in the future http://www.appbrain.com/app/clocksync/ru.org.amip.ClockSync
I know that most phones sync without such apps, but I'm a bit OCD about exact time, so I sync my phone daily with atomic clock
I have a nexus 10 and a Nexus 7. Both running the latest Android (4.2.2.). Both connected to the same network (in my hotel so I have no access to any routers). Both getting the system time "from the network".
My Nexus 7 is displaying the correct time. My Nexus 10 is displaying a time which is 7 minutes slow. If I correct it manually (untick "get time from network" and correct it myself) it displays the correct time. If I then tick "get time from network", it immediately goes 7 minutes slow.
So, where is it picking the time up from? I want to compare the 10 and 7 to see why they are different. Unless someone knows the answer?
Update. I took it to work this morning and the nexus 10's time had drifted by about 15 minutes (slow). When I then set it to get the time from the network, it went back another 7 minutes.
I have no idea what is going on here - but I would like to run some commands to find out. Anyone got any suggestions?
I have used ES Explorer to look in /etc/init.d to see if there is a startup file - nothing. I've also looked in /system/bin and I cannot find a ntpd file.
Any clues appreciated
Alan
Update - after I brought it into work and it seemed to lose 10 minutes, when I switch from manually setting time to network time, it now goes back 16 minutes, not 7 (so I guess it lost 9 minutes, not 10).
There is something really weird going on here.
Alan
last update.
I had an application on there called "mini network monitor". I uninstalled that, rebooted my tablet and network time seems to be working OK now.
It may just be coincidence, but it's working, so I am not messing around.
Alan
I wonder as well about how the tab gets its time info. I live in California, but was in Arizona over the weekend and it didn't switch time, but my phones corrected themselves.
If my tablet sleeps for hours on end (overnight) it will lose EXACTLY 10 minutes. I can't explain it. I just use the clock sync app

Someone pointed me here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39951 where this issue has been know about for a while.
Is there any chance that someone who really understands how Android works could have a look inside and see what is going on?
Alan
I've noticed this too. It always happens when I wake it up after its been sleeping overnight, and it's always 10 minutes slow. A reboot fixes it immediately for me though.

Getting a replacement didn't help anything. My new one does the exact same thing.

I posted a partial "fix" in comment #111 in the bug report.
Make sure to comment and star the report so it gets Googles attention.
I use clocksync from the market. It works well. I notice the clock quickly loses its accuracy.

I can't believe it has been 5 months now and they still haven't fixed this yet.
Time zone?

Did you have it set to automatically update the time zone?
Strange,...
my n10 was from the second batch Google store had available and the clock issue has never manifested itself at all. Switched over to daylight savings time this morning perfectly! However, I've never remained stock with any update any longer than it took for me to flash a custom package of ROM, kernel, and gapps....

Automatic date/time is checked in date/time settings. It sprung forward with the time change. Now that we're on the same time as AZ I will have to wait until I travel further east later in the year to assess.
Hey just recently got my Nexus 4 and realized that my clock is not right. I am on T-mobile and my phone is about 20 minutes ahead of the real time when I have it set to automatic date and time. I have tried setting it manually but over time it still becomes faster than normal.
I set it manually on Saturday and am currently 25 minutes ahead of time.
Anyone else had this problem? Wondering if it is with the phone or T-mobile.
