Default Time Changing?

Ok so the other day my phone randomly changed times. it said it was 530pm when it was actually 600pm, so I reset the phone and everything was good. So I thought it was just a hickup in the phone but today it does it again. I wake up at 540pm and my phone says its 130am, WTF!!!! and its not only mine my wifes did the same thing today too.

Anyone else have this problem, or know what it could be?

Are you guys both on Sprint? Same phone? Is it set to auto update? If it is, I bet it's a hiccup with their system. If not, not sure what to tell you.

might be an unrelated issue to you, but last week my phone changed my time by a few hours, so when i clicked on the clock widget it was saying my location was set to beunos aires(sp) when im in the eastern U.S. lol.. i reset the phone a few times and it kept saying it for a while, i manually changed it to eastern, not even sure if its set to do it based on location anymore.. it was weird, i turned on gps to see if maybe that would set it back and yet it didnt lol

lasted for a day or so i believe, but after the manual change i dont think it mattered.. o well, had me baffled

I frequently get a location of Washington, when I am in Iowa. I actually have seen the time be off even though my location was correct. This was for an hour or two only though, which leads me to believe Sprint mucked somthing up on their end.

This has happened to me 3 times in the last month. Haven't figured out why and a reboot always fixes it. Figure it's some bug from the update.

Since the update my phone has lost its mind. I no longer expect it to know what time or place it is in. Tried EVERYTHING and it still does it.
More than likely going to root and get that update off my phone. I hope Sprint is happy with themselves. They took a great phone and trashed it with their "Slimeware" update. Really sad.

The earths polarity is changing. Or. Some of the GPS sats are having issues. No way this could be a Sprint Issue. LOL.

I have had this issue occur on a number of sprint phones over the past several years. Its typically a tower issue.


Toggle gps on off on. Turn off auto in clock settings. Toggle gps again. Turn auto settings back on. Leave gps on. That usually fixes it. I have found people turn off gps to save battery. When they do that the phone tries pulling location and time from the network.
