Just recently purchased a Shield K1, and the first thing I did was update to 7.0, everything is working great except for the time function. I travel alot for work, between time zones, and whenever I go from Eastern to Central time zone, the time on the tablet does not update automatically. I have the date and time settings set to Auto Update, and my time zone is set to Eastern time zone. I've tried restarting the tablet and also tried connecting to different networks, but the time won't update. Any help would be appreciated!

i recently flashed my mda and now the time zone is set to saskatchewan every few hour. I will change it to central us and it goes back in a couple hours again. I think when i initially set up the phone i may have accidently selected that one but i did a reset on it and selected central us and it still poped back to saskatchewan. any idea why? thanks

My MDA keeps doing the exact same thing. It's driving me crazy!!
Go into Settings/Phone and click on the Time Zones page. Make sure "Automatic change time zone and clock" is not checked. When it is checked, the device will get time & timezone info from the cellular network -- the timezone info is often wrong.
So yesterday my phone kept setting itself to Central time, a full two hours behind my time. I would set it back manually, and within 30 seconds of my re-checking the box to allow the network to set the time, it would roll back by two hours.
After spending most of the day wondering why this only started now (after having the Magic for over a week), I realised that I had turned on wireless Location the previous evening.
Sure enough, once I turned it back off, my time zone corrected itself. Anyone have any idea why the Location service would cause this kind of behaviour? Are individual cell towers sending bogus time information independently of the whole network?
I'm running the Rogers version of the 1.4 Hero ROM.

Since earlier this week (Tuesday or so) my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S Captivate has started to believe it's in the Pacific time zone instead of the Mountain time zone. I live in Edmonton, AB. I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.3 and I've rooted the phone using the reboot loop kernel method as shown on a thread here.
If I turn off automatic time I can select Mountain time manually to get the right time displayed on my device. I figured it was some sort of DST related thing but it's not - the phone still selects Pacific and is still an hour behind the correct time even though DST has now ended.
I've noticed the phone doesn't pop up "auto update of time and date" on top of everything when it's connecting to the network (say, turning flight mode off) like it did on Froyo (2.2) so I wonder if that's related. The really weird part is it flashes Mountain time for a second then goes back to Pacific while coming out of airplane mode.
Ideas, anyone? This is really frustrating. I'd rather not have to maintain the clock on my phone for no particular reason.
nice to see a fellow edmontonian here, but i would think your first bet would be to call rogers and see if there is anything up on their end. as the auto-update of time is "network provided". and i had not been having that issue when i was on that crappy rogers gingerbread.
It seems I have an issue with my phone and I would like to know if it's only me or if there are others or there.
Every time I reboot my phone, my phone's clock reset. And not only the time, but the date changes to January 1970. I tested this on various roms, stock-based and aosp-based with same results.
I noticed that as soon as I have some sort of internet connection, it retrieves the current date and time and updates itself. But, if I put my phone on airplane mode and then reboot, then it stays with the incorrect date and time.
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but my time zone, when retrieved from Verizon's network, is Pacific, when I'm in mountain time. I have to manually change the time zone, but even after changing it, my clock keeps the mountain time. So, I also have to fix the time manually.
Please guys, let me know it it's just me or of this is a known issue on our phone. Thanks.

Same issue here...
I can't help you with your issue but I do seem to have the exact same problem. My phone has been doing this since I got it in July. Were you able to resolve the problem? I just started a thread about it in the AT&T S3 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063156&referrerid=4789157
It's one of those issues that is easy to just ignore since its not often that you need to reboot with out an internet connection but I'm worried that this might cause other issues, especially with files being modified during the boot process before the clock can be set.
Either way, it would be nice to get it resolved while I'm still under warranty!
I have never tried a reboot in airplane mode buy my nandroid backups always have a 1970 date stamp on them

I have seen my phone start up with the time/date way off, then seconds later it sync's and corrects itself. No reason that I can put my finger on, just every now and then..Mostly with custom roms..
I have an unlock Samsung Galaxy Relay with Android 4.0.4.
With the options of keeping date and time zone synchronized with the network, I was getting the wrong time (GMT 00:00 insted of my actual GMT -03:00). So I decide to disable the automatic syncrhonization and set the time zone fixed.
But every time I power off my phone an restart it, this settings are automatically reset (date and time zone syncrhonized with the network activated) and my time wrong once again.
Is there any way to fix this?
By the way, I don't have in the stock rom any option to synchronize with an NTP time server .
I have the same issue on my Xperia Arc S but with my data setting set to "2G only". It always comes back to "WCDMA (prefered)/2G" when I restart the phone, since the update to ICS 4.0.4.
So unless that is coincidence, I think it's a problem of Android 4.0.4.
