Every now and then my time zone will automatically change to Eastern. I'm in Central. Any idea?

I'd bet anything that you live close to the "border" of the two timezones and the network is having a hard time establishing which one you are in at any given time.
Mine does that if I have 4g on. If i turn 3g only on it goes back to the right time.

the only location issues i've been having is when i'm on a web browser(doesn't matter which one), and browsing news/shopping, it'll say i'm in some random location from different states(all over the US)
actually, come to think of it, sometimes when i load up the weather app it'll start up on a screen for another random city(all over the US also). it won't go back to my actual location until i close the app & re-open it.. and sometimes i'll have to do that several times before it goes to my city.
this happens with location/gps turned on or off.
Ironic, I just posted this thread lol.

I work and live in different time zones, I noticed the atrix doesnt update the time unless I turn off the wireless and then re-enable it. Is this supposed to be normal?
settings -> Date and time
is automatic checked? how often are you on wifi, and how often on mobile data? I'm not sure it gets a constant check when on wifi.

The time is technically correct except for it is an hour less than it should be. It is set to automatic, im on wifi 20% of the day the rest mobile data. If I turn on airplane mode then turn it back off the correct time is displayed. I think they may have a bug
I travel for business quite and go between time-zones. I also find same issue happening with my new Atrix phone. If I turn the airplane mode on and off several times, time correct based on time zone I am in. Automatic date and time setting checked on.
Hi Everyone,
Atrix did not adjust automatically the time fthis morning. Is anybody else experiencing this issue?
In date and time the 'automatic' settings is checked.
I had to reboot for the time to be automatically updated.
Thank you.
Alarm went off an hour earlier than all the manually set clocks.
No glitch here. In Indiana on an eastern time zone.
I travel for work and the Atrix has worked fine for me in different time zones. My captivate failed to auto-switch one time though - so i think it has something to do with tower signals more then phone.
I reported this at launch, Im in indiana and live in CST but work in EST. This phone has not correctly changed timezones once, and didnt even update to the correct time for daylight savings time yesterday. The only way i've found to fix is either turn on/ turn off airplane mode or cycle power.
I don't want to be too critical but many Smart Actions I found here or other Razr forums tend to be very restrictive on your use.
Com'on, you bought an expensive fancy phone which uses the fastest 4G LTE network, you paid some premium on those joy. It is never a Verizon LTE Razr if you turn 4G off.
So my bottom line is :
1.I want to be able to surf web/watch youtube/check email on 4G or wifi network when I want to (as opposed to wait for 5 seconds because it was off when screen was off)
And
2. I want to have reasonable battery life.
After some testing, Smart Actions that work on my Razr is
1. At Home: when it detect my wifi, it will switch there.
2. In call: When there is incoming call, turn off Data Connection and Screen turn to 0% brightness. (This is CDMA network, so you can't surf and use data at the same time anyway. Or do you really do a lot of such things? If so, please ignore this)
This #2 will help if you have constant phone conversation of about 30 mins daily. You won't want to burn unnecessary juicy while you are only talking.
3. At work where no wifi is available (for security reasons), I turn it off. I sit in office most of the time of the day, so you won't want wifi keep scanning and eating juice. I used TImeFrame to identify this, not geo location because wifi will need to be turned off.
4. In the night, using the night saver sample, I turned off cell data and background sync.
5. Low battery saver: surprisingly, in this action I only turned it to 0% screen brightness. Why? Just imagine you are using it as GPS or some important task on the road, you dont want to lose the GPS/Data if the battery dropped below a threshhold?
6. Most helpful action:
No Action At Work.
If you are working in office most of the time, your cellphone is quietly sitting on your desk mainly. So if you specify
1. at work
2. movement detection found nothing moving
then disable background sync. it will save the juice and when you turn on the screen to check email, the 4G is always there.
The whole idea , is not to disable data connection whenever you turn off screen. Many times you will have background downloads and sometimes when you turn on the screen, the phone takes some time to restore the data connection. which makes you staring at your phone can wait for a while. quite unfortunate if you have an Iphone user sitting beside you immediately pull the data out, right? =)
Personal settings, hopefully it helps you. It will easily give you 12 hours of usage. and for my charge now: 10 hours later it is at 80%, of course it has 6 hours of night standby.
Let's discuss more TESTED smart actions here? =)
note: if your phone is in your pocket a lot during a working day, don't use motion detection and you know why...
You can use voice and data simultaneously when on 4g. Just fyi.

Yup, it's definitely useful too.
Example: talking to friend on phone about hanging out, go to home screen open Google maps to check when the next bus comes, while still talking to friend

"Movement Detection"
Is there such an option? Been looking for it, can't find it.

Copy that, update req Glad moto is updating though, it could be a uber powerful app.

Dear Gary/Forum users
I have another problem that I forgot to mention before. My system clock seems to continually lose time. My time zone is correctly set to eastern, and it is set to use network provided time. After sleeping my tablet, it loses track of time, and to correct this I need to manually set the time to the correct time, then reapply the use network time option.
Right now my time in the asus quick settings says its 5:07 (the time I slept it) the system tray says 7:37 (the time I woke it) and the actual time is 7:44 (lost 7 minutes since woken).
under advanced wifi settings I have it set to turn wifi off when the screen turns off.
This happens while docked, and undocked.
my FW version is 9.4.2.14
Thank you
Cody
Try clocksync in android market, helped me be on time again

I haven't noticed anyone talking about it lately. Has everyone just accepted it or is there a fix that I've missed? Mine still does it at my house.
Once or twice a week I notice my wifi and Bluetooth both drop off at the same time. They come back in a bit so it's really not a big deal for me.

Yes WiFi and 3g disconnects.
I'm still getting them pretty often actually.
Often here also. To often imo
Sent from my EVO LTE
Cool thanks for replying guys. It happens so often at my house that it really makes it difficult to get much done. I would just use 3G, but lord have mercy is it slow. I'm assuming HTC will fix it in a software update, right? Right? Right? lol
It use to happen to me all the time until I changed the frequency band settings from "Auto" to "2.4GHz only"
Edit: it doesn't drop if I set it to "5GHz only" also
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Yeah i've tried that trick but it still disconnects like crazy. The weird part for me is that it only happens at my house with my router. So maybe it's disagreeing with my router for some reason. But I've had 4 different phones, a laptop, and my wife's iPhone all connect to the home WiFi with no problems and no disconnects.
Hmmm, hadn't thought about the frequency setting; I'll try that and let you know if it works for me. Might be one of those "your mileage may vary tricks"
Possible Fix
I was also having issues with WiFi disconnecting. (Not often) My main issue is that I wouldnt receive notifications from apps while on WiFi and screen was off for more that 45mins putting the phone into "sleep" mode (GTalk, Gmail, Facebook, etc) unless I turned on the screen. I installed this app from the Play Store "Hidden Settings" Dev. Derek R Reynolds which puts a "Power Saver Settings" app in the app drawer. It gives you access to a hidden menu that you can't normally get to. While in the App I unchecked "Put Data Connection to sleep" and that has resloved my issues. I haven't seen the WiFi get disconnected and I am receiving my notifications like normal. I have only had this solution for 1 day so I will report back if there are any other changes.
My Phone not Rooted.
I do not take credit for this possible solution. All creadit goes to the Dev's that figured this out. I simply read about it on another thread..
Someone started a thread a while back on this, but I wanted to start my own hoping that this issue may get a little more attention, and keep a detailed thread for future use. I love this phone, but this is the one significant issue that I have.
I spend most of my day and evening on wifi since I have it available at work and home. I've noticed since day one that I wasn't getting my notifications on time specifically in Gtalk, and still exists to this day after the latest 2.13 OTA update. When I hear my phone get a notification, I will check it, and the notification has a timestamp in the notification drop down, so I know I got it just then, but then in gtalk the timestamp on my message is several minutes earlier. I have seen it as much as 45 minutes late. It is very noticeable whenever I turn on the screen that instantly I get a notification. The issue exists with all push notifications. Gmail notifications will arrive late as well as exchange notifications. I've seen reports about it happening with WhatsApp messenger. It has been theorized on other forums that the wifi radio goes too deep into sleep for the notification to wake the phone up.
My wifi policy is set to stay on always. I've tried factory resetting. I know that the wifi stays connected while it is sleeping and is not disconnecting. I've tried multiple wireless networks. I've tried 2.4ghz vs 5ghz. It has nothing to do with smart sync disabling data as this is happening during the day and not between the hours of 12am and 7am.
I have done a lot of searching on Google about this issue, and I've determined that it is an issue with the entire line of HTC One series phones. People have reported this issue on the One X (International and ATT), the One S, Incredible 4g, and of course many other reports on the Evo LTE.
I have compiled many of these reports in a thread I opened on HTCs support forum site here: http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/222/p/15183/62995.aspx#62995
Please feel free to test this yourself. Connect to wifi, turn your screen off, send yourself a gtalk message from a separate account. If it comes in on time, wait about a minute and try again. If it doesn't come in, wait as long as you can stand or just turn the screen on, and see your notification come in. I tested this on a friend's Evo LTE who insisted he wasn't having the issue, and I was able to duplicate this. It seems that most people must not use wifi as much as I do, and maybe just haven't noticed.
Current solutions / workarounds:
Turn on Best Wifi Performance in the advanced wifi settings - kills battery
The best solution that someone found on another forum was to use an app called REGPON Wifi KeepAlive. It is an app that puts a partial wakelock on the phone in order to keep it from going into deep sleep. Check both boxes included in the app. The first starts the process, and the second will turn it off when wifi is disconnected. This doesn't have a huge effect on battery as I thought it would since it is putting a wakelock on the phone. I actually get very good battery life still, and can last through the day with heavy usage. It's nowhere near the significant drain that you get with the Best Wifi Performance option.
What if you set wifi to sleep when the screen goes off?

That could be considered a workaround, and I have tried it, but wifi doesn't go to sleep until after several minutes after you turn the screen off when you use that setting. Then of course mobile data kicks in and notifications come in on time.
