I disabled the GPS services, and that seemed to keep the time correct for a longer period of time, but it did eventually reset itself to the incorrect time. I have tried every combination of settings for "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone," but none of those setting being on or off seem to prevent this issue from happening.Īt one point, while researching this issue, I recall reading that Android primarly uses GPS sattelites to synchronize its time.

Sometime it will go several days without doing it, and other times it will do it multiple times in one day. I manually changed the time, and ever since, it seems to want to go back to that incorrect time, 5 hour early.Īs of yet, I cannot tie the time change to any specific time or to any action I am taking. In fact, this is what the phone displayed when it was first activated in late June. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy Centura from Straight Talk, connecting through Verizon towers.įor whatever reason, the clock on my phone is occasionally being set to a time exactly 5 hour earlier than the correct time for my time zone (currently eastern daylight time). I have been searching for a couple weeks and have not found anythign else that really addresses the problem I am having.

I, like a significant number of others am having some issues with the clock/time on my android phone. Hello all, and thank you in advance for your help.
