Flip Clock vs Network Clock

wysiwyg · 10-11-2009, 03:29 PM

I live in St Peter MN. The "Flip Clock" is one hour ahead than the network clock in upper right corner. When I drive 10 miles south to Mankato MN both clocks show the correct time.

Could the "Flip Clock" think I'm in St Petersburg FL???? Why would the clocks go out of sync???

I've had issues with the double clock found in the travel scene. It gives the correct time for "home" but the second clock, which is home as well, is 5 hours fast.

Try Restarting your Phone, this will make it recheck the time and hopefully send it to the flip clock

That does not work.

In settings Date & Time - Set Time Zone

Central Time is listed as GMT -5.00

Central Times is actually GMT -6.00

So, there is a software/firmware error in this phone that needs to be looked at and fixed.

Its all to do with international date and time lines.

Its not a software problem. We have it in Gb. ''British summer time'' and ''Gmt'' If you alter central time by 1 hour. Then set your time accordingly. It should work perfectly well.

If not, turn Automatic on or off?

I don't think so. When I set the phone to Eastern -4:00GMT I get the correct time on my phone in the top right and my "flip clock" has the correct time. but when I switch to the dual travel clock my "home" city time is right but my current city is 4 hours ahead. I'm not 4 hours away from my home city - there's got to be a software flaw causing this.

I changed to "Central America" in the Time Zone and corrected the "Network Clock" the Flip clock displayed 2 hours ahead. There is programming code errors in the clock widget/feature. All Time Zones are incorrect in the clock settings on the phone.

I have had contact with HTC thru twitter about this ... they said they hadn't heard anything ... but I pointed them to this thread and two in the Sprint forum about this clock issue. I think it is either programming or all of Sprint's towers are broadcasting different time signals - if that is even possible.

I'm in contact with HTC since last Saturday with a Ryan. They are investigating this issue.

All of the widget clocks are giving me the same issue (I live in MN).
