[Q] Date and Time Issue - HTC Rezound

Hello all. I just purchased the Rezound yesterday and am coming from the Thunderbolt. I have been very impressed so far, but I have noticed a small issue. I live in Arizona and have noticed that my phone keeps reverting to Pacific time. I know that it is picking up my location right where I live. If I reboot the phone, it comes up with the right time, but after a couple of hours, it reverts back to Pacific time (1 hour earlier that Arizona time). I know that I can set the time manually, but I like having the setting for getting the time automatically from the network because it updates when I travel. I did not have this issue with the Thunderbolt. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks.

Mine does the same thing. I notice when I run speed test that it pulls from servers in commuting distance from Chicago. People who live there go by central time even though Indiana is eastern. This might be the reason. I live 30 minutes from the line, and 2 hours from Chicago.

Thanks for the response. That is interesting. I hadn't even thought about something like that causing it. I did just run speed test to see and it did not change the time for me. I will keep an eye on it though, to see if that is the cause.
Edit: I just went in and looked at my history for Speedtest and found that my most recent test went to somewhere else in Arizona, but the one I did this morning went to Washington State...I guess this is what is causing it. Thanks so much for the catch. I guess I need to be careful running Speedtest from now on.

I too live in Arizona and had that issue the past few days. I had my Dinc before this and it was doing the same thing over last weekend.

No no, didn't mean Speed Test is doing it, I mean the servers your phone is routing through when connecting to the towers are pulling/pushing from another time zone. Whatever DNS server the phone is connecting to get it's time update on 4G is pulling from the West for both of us. When I am on 3G I don't have this issue, that is why I believe this is the reason. I have my time set manually because of it, I noticed it in the Verizon store when the rep was puzzled when I asked him what time it was, lol.

Maybe an HTC issue then? My buddy lives down the road from me has a Bionic, I will ask him if he has this issue on 4G.

I got ya...sorry I misunderstood. I guess I just don't understand why it works ok for a while, then changes. Once it changes, I have not seen it change back. It almost screwed me this morning because the time went back an hour overnight so my alarm did not go off when it should have. Thankfully, my Wife was already up. I did not have these issues with the Thunderbolt and it runs on 4G. My Rezound has also only been on 4G or Wifi when the issue comes up.

We switched from daylight savings time here in Chicago and Indiana doesn't use it from memory so that could be a problem. Maybe that is the same issue in Arizona. I'd look into that.

No, Indiana joined the bandwagon (thanks liberals) about 5 years ago. But, The Commuter Area, Gary/Michigan City/Valpo/Merrillville/East Chicago, basically everything West of Saint Joe County and the end of South Bend is Central Time, the rest of the state is Eastern.

+1 I have to set my phone to not use network time. I'm in Elkhart.

Haha, I was born there. My last name (Lemacks) look familiar? My dad owned Lemacks Construction on Lincolnway across from the railyard for 25 years.
Anyways, your phone does the same thing in Elkhart? When you run Speed Test what server does it say is hosting it? I am surprised you aren't pulling KZoo or Ft. Wayne.
