Help My phone displays the wrong time?

Any chance you are using a widget for your clock? If it force kills from a task manager that can cause it to lock up a few minutes behind (basically it doesn't start up right all the time without updating) and it won't fix itself until the 'update or refresh' happens.

Just happened once to me and it drove me nuts, but now I just have Task Manager ignore it.

My clock has the same problem. It drives me crazy. Samsung Galaxy S is what I have. I've tried every configuration for the how the time is set. It always 'leaks' time. It slowly but surely gets more and more behind. Over the course of a week it'll be a close to 30 minutes behind. SOOO frustrating.

I'll try just taking the battery out and putting it back in. I can't say I'm overly confident, it's going to work.
