I've got a stock (rooted) Nexus S 4G and for the last week, the clock will randomly fall behind an hour. Sometimes rebooting the device resets it back to the correct time, sometimes it doesn't.
It wasn't that big of an issue until recently where it would do it, I would fix it before going to bed, then it would revert back to the wrong time while I was asleep, causing my alarm to go off an hour later than it was supposed to.
Suggestions? I can provide any more information that is needed, just ask.
Uncheck use network for date and time. Manually set the time.

Thanks, I've been doing this, however is there a way to fix it so that it uses network time and doesn't do this, or am I just stuck using manual for the time being?
Do you live anywhere near a different time zone. You may be jumping from your time to a tower on a different time zone. Also may want to check with your carrier it might be a problem on their network. Do you happen to have an airave that has been known to cause problems at times.

Anyone else having this? The time on my phone is reading incorrect by about 10 mins. I am using the stock clock widget and under settings it is set to use network determined time or somethingike that.
Any ideas?

Try selecting your city and country, i it desnt work you should probably just do a factory reset.
or just set the time manually...why HR just for that ffs?
I'm using ClockSync from the Play Store.

I have got the same problem. Over the day the time gets an offset of around 3 seconds. After I had it on the charger over night (and ONLY if it was on the charger) the time of the phone is over 10 minutes behind the real time. I already disabled using the network time etc. but nothing helped. I don't think that this is a hardware failure.
I've got the same problem. Last night even my manually set time changed. Really strange.

same problem here - seems to be related to charging over night, going to test.
any apps that have recently been updated that have permission to change time?
have tried rolling back google movies, will see if that helps.
also i would be interested to know if everyone is o2 (i am) - might be a problem with one of the o2 bloatware apps?
what seems to have sorted mine (for the time being) is just restarting the phone, very odd but seems ok at the moment

Network time also gives me an instant offset of ~10 min
I will try the manual setting, and see how that goes.
Might give a try at ClockSync, mentioned above.
Same problem here. I can adjust the clock, but whether I use the network time or not, after a few hours to a few days it's lagging behind by about 10 minutes. It's quite annoying.

Thanks, I'll try that.
Automatic sync with that app needs root, I don't plan on rooting just yet - will probably make use of the warranty replacement because of the arc oxidation issue. Maybe the clock will work in the replacement.
no progress for me here, what an annoying bug.
reboot sets the time correct again but that's no fix!
following these steps it looks to me like a network time issue:
1. wake up with the clock 12mins slow
2. go into time settings and untick network time
3. set the correct time
4. retick network time and the clock jumps back to being wrong again
would really appreciate if anyone's got a clue on a fix
I've contacted HTC, they escalated it, I'll will forward their answer once I get it.

this is really strange - been staying at my girlfriends for a couple of weeks and not had this problem. so unless it a location problem (10mins walk), the only difference is ive been using a different charger overnight (htc vs kindle)
determined to figure this out
HTC told me that the update should help. For my part, it works now, although already before the update.

doing the ota update now, was holding off but might as well try it.
hope it fixes
hi guys, any luck on the time issue? by girlfriend's phone is experiencing the same issue of being 10 minutes off

I would try factory reset then take it back if it keeps doing it . One of the good things about a non removable battery is its suppose to help with random reboots. I've never had one so it might be something wrong with your phone.

I'd be sending it back. I'm on my second handset due to the chipping MAO issue. My first one must have rebooted about 3 times in the course of 5 days. My current one hasn't done it yet. Sounds like a fault somewhere.

Just had one reboot few mins ago, had the phone for more than two weeks, never experienced this before.
Only difference was I had installed Battery app with shows a number of remaining battery on top left corner on notification bar. Uninstalled it right away. Not sure if this app caused the reboot will report back.

My one-s did this a lot from new. Seems to have settled a bit - desperate to find out if it's a hardware issue or not as I need to return it in next day or 2 if so. Seems to be happening to too many people to be hardware unless something is majorly botched!
Is wifi on?
My router was acting up and my phone would reboot every time I tried to connect to it. Factory reset did nothing.
I reset the router and updated the firmware and all is good. It was a Dlink 614+ or something like that.
Yes, wifi on. My router is a 'draytek', a new model and up to date though. My desire running CM had no issues with it.
I have noted however that there appear to be other wifi issues with the oneS. It doesn't always disconnect from wifi even after leaving the building, eating up the power and leaving you with no data connection. I've had to put the wifi widget on the home screen to turn off and back on again to get it functional. It's a pain. Still pondering about returning this.
I have a stock HOS, and Yes I get an RR a few times a week, not 10 per day. This weekend it just went to a power off state for no reason, pressing and holding the button the first time just gave a short green line flash across the middle of the screen and it failed to boot, releasing and holding the power button a second time did boot the phone again.
I also have the same Wifi problems described by others, but worse it can not find my router (2wire 2700hgv) when the SSID is not broadcast and my neighbours SSID is! This is my only HTC or Android device with this problem.
HTC One S in the UK, stock everything, no root
I also encountered regular reboots (approximately hourly) during my first week of use. My theory is that in my case this may be related to the radio issue reported in other threads - that of the connection jumping rapidly between different connection modes.
Since WCDMA coverage in my area is terrible anyway, I switched the radio to "GSM only" under Mobile network settings > Network mode. In addition to fixing the connectivity issues I was experiencing, my device has not reset once in the weeks since.
Not ideal, but since I'm on wifi nearly all of the time, the slower speeds aren't an issue for me. I am hopeful that when HTC roll out a firmware fix for the radio, it may also put an end to the frequent resets I experienced using the "GSM / WCDMA auto" mode.
4 days old and no reboots
rooted--no custom roms yet
i too have the battery % icon and will see if i get any reboots now
any of you guys have the "tampered" in bootloader that shouldn't be there and getting the reboots
I've had two random reboots. The first while using chrome, the other one right after it had booted after the first reboot then I updated to latest firmware, and I haven't had any since that. Maybe that's what the update does ?

I also had random reboots but took it back and got a brand new unit. Its rooted and running custom ROM. So far no reboot issues. Though when my first unit was rebooting it was after an app froze up and I back out of it. From testing other units it appears to be a RAM issue. Sense uses to much memory. Seems the restart occurs after dropping below 165 mb available RAM.

Take your phone back to to T-Mobile and have them replace it. I had the same problem with the one I bought my wife. It also had a problem with WiFi calling and they replaced it on the spot.

I have noticed that if I am streaming music with wifi and go to 4G, it tends to reboot. Either its plugged in to my car stereo and I drive away from work, or I have a set of bluetooth headphones paired with the device. In both cases, beats audio was turned on. But. I am used to random reboots with HTC phones.

I concur. The only time I've experienced any issues with phonus interruptus is when I turn on the Gps while using the Sport Tracker application. For some reason it reboots right after starting.

Just return it. New phones shouldn't do that. Sounds like some apps are looping for resources. Had this phone for 2 days using WiFi and hotspot my lap and Xbox 360 to watch hulu without a hiccup.

This has been brought up in another thread, but I felt it deserved it's own.
My (stock) HOX is consistently unable to keep the correct time. Over night last night it lost 30 minutes. This is pretty typical. Between 5 and 7 am this morning it lost 10 minutes.
Anybody have any ideas as to how fix this?
It does not seem to matter whether I have the time set to Auto or Manual. In fact yesterday, with the correct time set manually, the time would jump off by about half an hour when I set it to Auto.
I did not notice this problem for the first few days I had the phone. Also, I did a hard reset a few days ago and the problem went away for at least 48 hrs.
The clock always loses time, never gains.
Time fluctuations seem to happen suddenly and in large chunks. I downloaded an app called ClockSync, which informed me that my clock was 468 seconds off at 6:36 am. The app is set to check every hour, so the time must have been correct at 5:36.
I am stumped by this. Any suggestions for further diagnosis (or a fix!) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would also like to know this answer. I noticed the other day it was off by 10 minutes. I was almost late to work.

this happened to me the first 2 days i owned the phone, i upgraded to 1.82 and hasnt happened since
Overnight my phone ends up a few minutes off.. but I haven't tried the 1.82 RUU update yet - sort of leary to flash things without a different recovery.

Sounds like it is your local tower. Auto means read time information (local time as well as time zone) from cell tower.
AT&T has a lot of time related problems with its 2G GSM towers (those need time to be set by AT&T). Its 3G/4G towers don't have this problem because WCDMA requires those towers have their own GPS chip onboard, IIRC.
Similar issue...

...in Essex County NJ. But after several changes from AUTO to MANUAL and back and forth the problem seems to have disappeared. No issues for the past week.
Never had a problem with the system time, are you using an older SIM perhaps?

How "older" can it be? Its a MicroSIM!
I don't see how this problem could be SIM related.
Noticed it this morning here. A reboot got it back up to the correct time.. Cue Steve Miller.. time keeps on slipppin...

I don't think so. I am well covered by 4G. Also I've been on manual pretty much exclusively. Its been better lately though. Just losing a few seconds here and there.

I've noticed it in two separate areas, about 140 miles apart. When away from home, it was only off about 30 minutes. Both areas I have good 3G/4G coverage.
Yesterday, while at my office, the phone lost 3 hours and my morning alarm went off while I was sitting at my desk.
This morning, it jumped ahead 6 hours and my weather widget said I was in Paris.
I'm on a stock AT&T HTC One X, and I'm thinking about returning it.
1.83 ROM seems to solve the problem
As an earlier poster noted -- upgrading to 1.82 ROM seems to resolve the problem.
I'm using a very helpful app called ClockSync (you've got to love an app with a "Blame Google" button).
Using the 1.77 ROM, ClockSync was correcting an 45 seconds per day. With the 1.83 it's about 7 seconds per day. Using manual time exclusively.
Cheers,

I have the same problem. I went to manual time from network time and it fixes the problem.
Have had my S3 for a little over a week. Every single day it freezes and I have to pull the battery. No rhyme or reason, it just locks up. I notice it when I leave a wifi area, use 4g lte for a while driving then join another network, let's say in the office. Give it a couple minutes after joining wifi and it will lock up. I'm on Verizon. I thought it might have something to do with wfioffloading so I installed anycut and have disabled that. Which I like by the way, very cool prog.
Has anyone experienced this and if so diagnosed the problem? I cant do anything with the phone. I need to pull the battery.
Anything at this point would help. Frustrated.
Totally stock rom

Stock rom as I noted in the post. Not rooted. Totally stock. Now it might be an app thats causing this. Just dont know how to diagnose this. Any log files I can have a look at?
Here is a bit more information. When switching from wi-fi to celluar coverage or vice versa is when this happens the most. Happened twice today when turning on wi-fi after walking in from outside. This happens at work mostly but has happened other places as well. Had to pull battery twice already today.
One day my Nexus 5 just started to act weird when it came to signal. Signal would drop every few seconds to no bars and then would come back. I seem to be getting less signal everywhere. My phone seems to rarely connect to data now when the screen is off and even when on it takes a while and sometimes I even have to put it in airplane mode and then back out to get it to work! Texts never come in at the right time, they take up to 10 minutes longer. My texts will fail to send at times until I reboot or go in and out of airplane mode. Calls won't dial sometimes and I have to give it a few attempts even when I'm in a good signal area. What is the problem?
Are you on the stock firmware or have you flashed another rom? I would go back to stock and see if the problem is still there. If it is then you may have a hardware issue.
