Why does it keep asking my time zone? I select the time zone i want then hit OK and half a day later it asks again. Getting to be annoying.

Good question. Happened to me too.
via HTC EVO 4G LTE.
This happened to me twice the first day, and zero times since then.

Happens to me too. I just thought it was from the weather widget that im using? Are you guys also running the HTC 2x1 weather widget?
same here, but only seems to happen when you lose cell signal for a few moments, the phone freaks out and goes WHERE ARE YOU?
gotta be a network issue
This happens to me when I go from Wifi to 3/4G. I guess like others have said, it that brief moment it loses all connectivity and doesn't know what to do. But yeah, it's annoying.
Seems to happen when you lose service or go into roaming. The Evo 4g had issues with the time when it when into roaming as well, text message times would get all jacked up
I agree it happens when you loose connection its very annoying cause My house is borderline. Downstairs so I use sprints airave. they give you this for free but than ill go upstairs where it doesn't use that connection cause it has enough bars but every time I go p or down the stairs it freaks and asks me
Go to settings> date and time and uncheck automatic time zone. No more messages.

Just sitting here at work, and I noticed my battery was unusually low for my usage today... when I noticed that my 3G icon was missing. I thought that was weird, because less than an hour ago, I had it for sure. I was getting email updates for work on a regular basis.
When I checked my quick settings, my mobile network just kept saying "Turning On," and would sometimes flash between that and 'ON' but never actually brought up a 3G, (or any data icon for that matter.) Texts are still getting through, but are about 2-3 minutes behind Google Voice popups on my laptop.
Has anyone else seen this before? I have rebooted, and tried Airplane mode, and disabling/renabling all the radios individually, and nothing has worked... Guess I should yank the battery now. Really bizarre. I usually get pretty good 3G service over here.
If it continues, exchange it.

Mine did the exact same thing this afternoon in Lubbock Tx. I rebooted, turned off and on and data always showed turning on but never connected. For some reason I ended up in the Sprint Zone and it then connected. It went into spring zone as I tried to connect to *2.
Don't have a good explanation of why it started working but try going to the spring zone and check data on.
The same exact thing happened to me too on my 3d today.

Did you do the "speedup 3D" trick that was posted where you removed the proxies after typing in your MSL password? If so, undo it, because that's your problem.
I haven't messed with any settings. I pondered it, but I haven't received my MSL code yet.
I did just find out that my coworker lost his 3G on his Epic. I think this is a Sprint issue, and not any of the devices... Scary though.
Austin, TX here.
im experiencing the same issue right now here in north austin, tx. im getting basic phone services but no network (market/FB/web/etc.)
and no I did not use the speed up internet fix.

well seeing how there are 3 texas people here experiencing this issue it might just be issue with sprint
Maybe they are upgrading the equipment of the "node".
I will be calling sprint on break in 10 minutes to find out
Well I just came back from BestBuy and picked up the 3D here in Michigan. Everyone in mobile just about had Sprint and no one could connect to 3g. My Evo 4g had a very limited connection. As soon as I got the 3D, it couldn't update the weather. So it is definitely something going on with Sprint right now and not your phone.
Just came back for me... Ben White / I-35 area. That was weird.
Are you sure your power saver settings aren't disabling your data connection due to your phone being below the % you set it at?
I don't think it's a 3d problem. I've had trouble connecting to 3g here and there with my og evo about 2 weeks before the 3d came out. I seriously think sprint has some serious network problems.
Man what is going on with Sprint? It's been happening a bit today as well.
I installed golflogix and it gave me an error message and forced closed the program and also put the 3d into airport mode.
However, golflogix will work on 4g.
There seems to be some problems with the sprint network or the 3d.
I had this same issue over the weekend. Rebooting the phone never worked so I did a factory reset and havent had the problem since. but it does make me a little apprehensive.
Perhaps the network is experiencing outages as they roll out an upgrade to their data network to proactively detect unauthorized tethering activity so that when HTC imminently unlocks the Evo 3D, they can charge backdoor tetherers appropriately.

Well I woke up this morning and had a few texts and I replied well my replies were coming 2 hrs before the original msg was recieved and it showed up before the recieved one. Then it sent me 2 hrs back in Pacific time which I live in Iowa and my phone says im in Seattle. The weather lockscreen, maps, weatherbug widget all say Im in Seattle. Then I did a factory reset it took me to my right location for about a hr then right back to Seattle. So I took it to a local store and they swapped me out for a brand new one. Everything was fine until I downloaded the HTC update and now Im back in Seattle again, time is 2 hrs behind to obviously, and now I cant get the phone icon for the lockscreen its not even in the list. And it was working before I did that update but afterwards nope, and as far as I knew that update was to fix the phone icon problem like the 3rd day it was out. This is my 3rd phone and pretty tired of the problems. I love the phone but with these problems idk. Anybody have any ideas?

Hey man. I understand your frustrations. Sometimes the little quirks and bugs that come during the early life / launch time of a device can be irritating. I wouldn't say that the location problem is actually with the phone, but rather with Sprint's network. I've had that happen on my Evo 4g, my roomate has had it happen on his Shift, and my girl has also had it happen to her Evo. I really don't think it's specific to the phone, hence the reason you had it happen on the previous and current phone. I never took any OTA updates, so never had the phone icon problem. From what I remember reading back when the phone launched, a factory reset was supposed to take care of it.
In the meantime, I would go to menu>settings>date & time, then uncheck 'automatic'. Then manually enter the date, time zone, and set the time. Leave it like that for a day or so, and then set it back to automatic. That's what I've done each time I had the problem in the past, and that always took care of it. I'm not sure what causes it, but it's not phone specific.
I would just stick it out and try your best to deal with the minor things for now. We are very close to getting S-off, at which time the devs of xda can iron out the quirky bugs that HTC left in the stock ROM. Also, HTC is usually pretty good with releasing OTA updates for bug fixes. Once we have full root with recovery, all we'll have to do is wait for a dev to go through the OTA and package it up in a safe to flash zip, and not worry about losing root while staying up to date. Keep your 3d man.
Thanks, ya I did the profile update then restart, when it started back up my weather lockscreen had the right location but weatherbug, maps, were still Seattle. I hit the power button then woke it right back up and the lockscreen says I'm right back in Seattle. Within a min it switched on me. It just seems weird to me my 2nd one I had it for like 3 weeks and no problems till this morning then the brand new replacement does the same thing within 3 hrs. Maybe I will just factory reset again then DON'T install the firmware update

If I have wireless location on with wifi, my location will almost always be way wrong too. It would be nice if there was a setting that would prevent it from using wifi to determine location. If i'm connected to my home wifi connection and I turn on wireless location, it'll put me in San Diego (1500 miles from where I live), and my time will go back 2 hours. If I turn wifi off, it will put me within a mile or two of where I live.

I keep getting this same notification like every hour or so. Anyone getting the same or have any ideas for a fix.

I got the same notice this morning, I set my time zone to CST. My clock went back an hour. I went into date and time in settings and turned off automatic date and time. Problem solved.
Looks like you're not connected to the internet.... The clock complains if it's not connected to network time.

I have been getting this too. Probably 4 times since I activated it. Probably has to do with 3g connectivity. Now the 3g at my house where I have seen this problem has always been terrible but not to the point of losing connection. Hmmmm.

I only turned off automatic time zone. I'll let you know if that fixed it, or if I need to turn off the auto time too. My decision was based upon the fact that the alert kept asking me to pick my time zone, so I thought maybe that was the only issue.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I haven't had an issue yet today, I don't know if it fixed itself or what.

I think the issue is that maybe network timezone is new and/or sprint isn't broadcasting it. So when it goes to get network time zone it bugs out. So best fix is to turn off auto timezone

I'm still getting this error from receiving the phone day one from my sprint pre-order.... very annoying. I get it on 3g and wifi.
Yes!! And even worse, they don't properly have Central US time zone. Mislabeled as Central America. I tried it once and it did goof up my time. Still getting it a couple times a day.
I had issues with this on the OG as well, but only when I actually went into another timezone. Text messages would show four hours in the future, that continues on the eLte
Mine would tell me it couldn't setbthr time zone a couple times per day, but seems to have stopped on its own. I did update profile a couple of times, not sure if that had anything to do with it or not.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Turn off automatic time zone. Solved the problem for me, entirely.
I'm in the Central Time Zone and have also seen this on occasion, both on 3G and on WiFi. Typically I just clear the notification. Once I disabled and re-enabled the automatic time zone and that cleared the notice as well.
It's more of an annoyance than anything. Doesn't seem to affect anything that I've noticed.
I run into this issue every time I travel. I'd guess to say it seems to happen after the phone has been on a non sprint tower, then reconnects back to sprint.
One of the many bugs that need to be worked out. If you have time/patience, contact HTC/sprint (in that order) and document the issue.
i am having the same issue as well
My clock is set to automatic on both time and time zone but randomly I will lose time and it prompts me pick a time zone. Sometimes my clock up on the notification bar is different from widget. Weird right?

I had that happen Saturday a couple times, however I am not sure it isn't a network problem because my EVO 3d did the same thing ever since I arrived here in the Illinois side of St. Louis.
happened to me, i just switched my time zone manually since im not much of a traveler and no more popups...
Releasing this phone must have put a huge strain on sprint and Google. Several things, including OP problem, I see here have happened to me.

I was just about to make a post about this same issue. I've been having this problem since I got my phone five days ago.... It keeps asking me to select a time zone and that it couldn't sync the time.
Same thing here
Sent from my eVOLTe
i just ignore it now, it goes away for a bit, then pops back up... don't really care too much as long as the home screen is displaying the correct time, which it does even when I ignore the warnings
It only happened to me when I connected to WiFi where I work. As soon as it changed data network from 3G to WiFi, BAM, I got the time zone pop up. But when I turned off WiFi, it cleared itself right up.
The phones are set by default to use network date and time. It gets the time zone info from the mobile network. But when connected to WiFi, it will try to ascertain the date/time from the WiFi network.
If it cannot receive the data from WiFi, it prompts me for my time zone.
Funny thing is, it only happens at work. Any other WiFi, like home or coffee shops, etc no problems.

Hello,
My problem is that when I am using GPS navigation on my phone, whether on Waze app, or google maps.
For example real time could be 1:00pm, and while driving the gps screen would turn to night mode and the time on my phone would be some time at night.
I took some screen shots today, I uploaded them to my google drive because I dont know how to shrink them to post them here.
first one is using Waze app
, real true time on phone is 8:50AM, if you look at the arrival time on the bottom it says 4:09PM in 20 minutes.
Second one is using google maps, true time is 2:24pm, but the screen is on night mode.
These screen shots were taken before the time on the phone also changed to some time at night.
I hope my links work.
Could this be because of an issue with the GPS?
Anyone else experienced this?
I have seen numerous examples of the time being wrong in my g3. In each case, it is set to network-sourced time zone and time. The time zone will display correctly, but the time will be in the future by several hours.
When this happens, I normally disable network time, set the time manually.
Both mine and my wife's g3 have been doing this daily for the last week in the greater-Seattle area. Toggling airplane mode fixes it temporarily. Very annoying but will have to turn off the network time I guess.

I'm in Seattle, too. Maybe it's a local problem?
Seattle user here too. I live in Lake Stevens and its usually fine until I pass lake Washington. Once in Seattle proper I'm pretty much screwed with bad time till I clear the area and bounce the radio. Very frustrating as it jacks up my SMS message order.
Sounds like we should give em a ring to see what's up. The next question is whether its happening to all devices.

This might help you guys, I'm in LA and both my friend's and my G3 works fine when using GPS. Nothing weird to report, seems like a problem with the Seattle towers. Keep us updated.
Yeah it happened twice to me, the first time I noticed I was going downtown from the north, and I noticed that it happened when I passed around the UW area. The second time I used GPS this time I was going north from the south and it got messed up when I was driving by Boeing field.
That was last week, today I tried it again and it was all good, but this time I am running the jasmine ROM, this is weird.
Time on this phone messed up. As I switch time zones it freaks out and I have to bounce the radios.
Seattle here as well: This has been driving me insane and even caused my alarm to not go off. LG said I needed to ship it back to them because it may be a hardware issue, leaving me phone-less for 2 weeks.
Not only does it screw up my time, but whenever I set time to manual, it does not save that setting and eventually switching back to network time.
Does anyone have a solution?!
Seattle!
Commuting from Burien to Downtown Seattle here. My husband and I have been experiencing time zone change daily for weeks since we got the phones. Mine jumps ahead exactly 7 hours when I go to work, resets itself eventually or I reset it manually, then 7 hours again when I come home. I can't rely on my phone as a clock/alarm/scheduler anymore which is one of the main things most people use their phones for! My SMS texts are also getting mixed up because the time stamp changes and the messages show up out of order. The really annoying thing is that even when I reset it manually and uncheck the automatic detection settings it just undoes my choices and rechecks the boxes. This is not something that is just a minor annoyance, this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. This is the first thread I've found with anyone describing exactly my problem and it makes a strong case for it being Seattle specific. How can we move forward with this information?
I'm having the same problem in Indianapolis. My gf has had the problem for a month or so, but mine was fine. I updated to the new firmware, and I suddenly started having the same problem. Mine is rooted, hers is not. It does seem to be tower specific because as I drove around town this morning, my time changed 4 times.
With any luck, I may have gotten VZW's attention via twitter. If others could tweet to @VZWSupport it might help confirm the problem.
