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 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.

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.

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
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.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
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.

At least it's good to know what is causing the issue. It is driving me crazy!
This is new. My phone shows full signal bars, but data does not work (no LTE displayed in the status bar). When I look at the settings it says "Disconnected" right below Mobile data. If I turn it off and on, it will say "Turning On..." then "Disconnected".
The weird part is that I know I get LTE signal right here (at my desk at work). I've been using the phone here all week. It was working fine, then it switched to disconnected. The first time I turned the data off/on, it connected, showed LTE, and sent an email I had tried to send. Now it refuses to connect at all.
I rebooted the phone, and it first connected to LTE, and now has full bars of 3G.
Anyone else notice something similar happen?
EDIT: Looks like it's Verizon possibly doing some tower work in NYC.
its possible you have a toasted sim card. not very common but i have seen it happen before on my gnex and a few others. Good luck
Another possibility is that Verizon in your area is fixing things.
If you are in Manhattan, a couple of us experienced unstable data connection these few days.
If such data disconnection happens cross the country , then it is a device's issue, which I suspect not.

Same thing keeps happening to me. It's frustrating because it will spool up LTE with full bars, not transmit any data and then disconnect completely from data. Will have to restart my phone which normally gets me back to working 3G until it happens again in an hour or so and have to repeat the process. Toggling the data connection on and off doesn't help. Verizon replaced my SIM card but it hasn't helped anything. Hoping it's just a temporary NYC issue.

Not surprising given some of the photos I've seen of their infrastructure after Sandy. Good to hear I'm not the only one.
This could be a different problem, but today I completely lost all mobile signal, both data and voice. It looked like I was in the subway (with no data icon and a little x next to the bars) . I waited for a couple of hours to see if the signal comes back, but it did not. A reboot fixed the issue.
I would not think much of this typically, but my wife has complained about exactly the same thing. Said she had to reboot the phone on two occasions already to get the signal back. WiFi worked fine though.
Could be a bug with the DNA.

are you in NYC metro? If yes, yes, I had one of such issue today too. but it did not last hours. It lasted 1 minute or so.
I think folks having data problem near NYC may chill for now. I hope it will not persist throughout the trial window of 14 days...
I am in NYC, let's hope it's a VZW issue.

My wife was having issues with mobile signal until eventually the phone could not find the sim card. She took it out and put it back in. Problem solved.
I am quite impressed with her. Coming from an iPhone, which she called as stable and boring as a microwave, she is now rocking a themed launcher, all sorts of widgets, power Toggles, settings profiles, and messing with the sim card!

I had that issue with the Galaxy S2.
Simple and fast solution: walk into a local carrier store and pop in a new one. It's free, and surely saves time without having to stress over troubleshooting it
Hi Everyone,
I got the same issue. I did a quick search on xda for this issue and saw this thread on this topic.
I opted to get the HTC One X+ instead of the DNA.
The first week I got the phone (from UK) everything worked fine and now I can't get the data connection to work.
I am currently on Vodafone.
The funny thing is, I take the same SIM card put it into my HTC One X which I got here in Australia and it works fine. No problems, always get a data connection.
However since the new HTC One X+ worked fine for the last few weeks and now it doesn't, I don't think it has anything to do with the networks.
Now since DNA is having this same issue, I am wondering if it has to do with Jelly Bean or the Sense upgrade using the HTC One +(plus).
Very frustrating. Any further thoughts about this bloody frustrating issue ?

As stated, the same SIM card when put into my HTC One X works fine. I get a data connection right away?
Update. Got it working again. Network connections are a bit sensitive.
Will monitor this issue over the next week.
So it is not necessarily the SIM Card.
---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------
UPDATE !
I still have this frustrating problem. With my galaxy note 10.1 I have 75% connection on GSM and a network connection. With HTC One X+ 20% connection on GSM and NO network connection.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Any suggestions anyone?
I have the same issue and I live in California. I think it's definitely a Droid DNA issue, not the Verizon network. I lose all mobile data, not just LTE. It happens probably a few times a day and even when I'm in the middle of a phone call. I'll have to restart my phone to get it working, but I've even had a couple of times where even a restart didn't work and I had to shut the phone off completely multiple times. This issue is rather frustrating!

It might not be a VZW problem but just incase go to a Vzw store and ask them if there are any down towers on the area if there aren't ask them for a warranty cpo replacement DNA. Hope this helps.
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.

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.
