Help Change time in LG motion

On most Cdma phones like the Motion letting user changing the time or date is not permitted and useless.

CDMA requires that every component of the system, including all the handsets, have a very precise knowledge of exactly what absolute time it is. This is necessary in order to synchronize the long code, one of the modulating chip-patterns used to make spread spectrum work. The long code cycles only once every six weeks (41.4 days) and if the phone's long code is out of sync, it won't work with the network.
Most CDMA phones don't let you manually set the time of day, mostly because doing so would be pretty useless. The phone would override your time each and every time it acquired a cell, anyway.
