LUMIA 800 - Clock running slow!

Hi there,
I have a bizarre problem with my Lumia 800 running on Optus - the clock runs slow! I have had to set the clock multiple times since I got it, and within about a week of setting it each time the clock is several minutes behind time. **bleep** about a fortnight of setting it the time reads over 10 minutes behind where it should be. I've noticed that unlike on a lot of other phones, there is no 'sync time automatically' or similar feature on the Lumia 800.
**bleep** a quick Google search, the only other mention I found similar to this problem was on another Nokia thread, of people on 3 UK complaining that their clock was actually running too fast:
/t5/Nokia-with-Windows-Phone/On-board-clock-waaay-fast-Lumia-800/td-p/1334499
Unfortunately there didn't seem to be a solution to their problem
For the record my phone was purchased through Optus, and I haven't made any modifications to it whatsoever. I have updated it with the latest firmware, however the problem has persisted since I first got the phone.
Can anyone please help me?

Hi all, sorry for the delay getting back to you - for the record, I'll second the above replies and say that there's definitely no option to set time automatically on my Lumia 800..
Strangely enough, my issue resolved itself after a few months and I have no idea what fixed it!
On perhaps an unrelated note, for a period of about a month or two, my phone would routinely notify me about a new software update that was available. I connected my phone to the computer and updated the software, only for it to tell me a few days later that another update was available. After a couple of weeks of this, I looked into the update version and found it was the same update every time. Once again, this makes no sense to me whatsoever.
I have to say that I was really excited when I bought the Lumia 800, thinking that Microsoft (and Nokia) would bend over backwards to support the few customers that made the switch from iPhones etc. to such a fledgling platform, but I've since found that after-sales support has been pretty poor (evidenced in part by the lack of official response to this thread). I'm also really disappointed that Microsoft have essentially ditched their most loyal customers by upgrading to Windows Phone 8 without support for 7.5 users. Instead we've been waiting in the dark for the 7.8 update that still hasn't come out yet..
Apologies for the rant, thanks to the above users for trying to help me out - hope your phone issues resolve themselves also!

Clock runs slow - Lumia 800

I have a bizarre problem with my Lumia 800 - the clock runs slow! I have had to set the clock multiple times since I got it (3 months ago), and within about a week of setting it each time the clock is several minutes behind time.
I've noticed that unlike on a lot of other phones, there is no 'sync time automatically'.
For the record my phone was purchased through Virgin (Optus network), and I haven't made any modifications to it whatsoever. I have updated it with the latest firmware, however the problem has persisted since I first got the phone.

@DarkX
You don't say whether your Lumia 800 is network branded or not and if provider does not support "network time" this feature may be absent.
There are also problems in the way the phone gets the time which is probably using NITZ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NITZ) so device may easily be 3 - 4 minutes off satellite time.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Clock running slow on iPod touch

Hello all, I am experiencing an issue with my iPod touch's clock running slow. I believe I have a 2nd generation and am running OS 4. I checked to see if my PC's clock is slower but it is not. Does anyone have any ideas?

How slow? Many users have reported hours or days ahead or behind on iOS4. I have read on other posts that doing a full restore fixes the problem. Here is how:
To do a full restore:
- Start iTunes and plug in your device.
- Under Devices, click on your device.
- On the Summary page there are two buttons: 'Check for Update' and 'Restore'.
- Click Restore.
- The system will back up your device, then reset it to factory specs, then restore from the backup. This takes QUITE a while, depending on how much stuff you have on there.
Doing this seems to have solved the problem for me. I haven't had it randomly change the time in the 6 days since I posted my message.

Time indicator (clock) runs slow and getting slower

I have had problems with the clock for quite some time. First, when I travel, if the computer is shut down and only on battery for quite along time, when I restart the computer, the clock needs to be reset before the system will boot.
This past week the clock has started to run slow. And it's getting slower.
Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks,

Sounds like it's time for a new CMOS battery. Search around online for one that works for your model laptop.

Clock running slow on iPad

The clock on my iPad is running about 12 minutes slow yet clocks running in apps are at the correct time. Any ideas?

Clock runs slow, but BIOS shows right time.

This is a bit of a strange problem. My clock keeps running slow. I tried ntp, and just couldn't seem to get it working, so then I switched to openntp, and the logs show it adjusting my clock. My hardware clock keeps correct time, so I know it's not a battery issue. It seemed to be working fine for two days, at one point, then all of a sudden started running slow again. I've never had this problem before, but I recently switched to 64bit arch, so I thought that might have something to do with it, but that doesn't really make any sense. Any ideas?

Here's a quick update. In addition to my messed up clock, I also noticed that CD audio play in double time. So, I figured that it was the double time bug (although my clock was running slow, and not fast :S), so I added no_timer_check to menu.lst. That fixed my CD audio problem, but my clock is still running slow!
If no one has any idea how to fix this, is there at least somewhere else I can look?

Clock running slow...sometimes by 4 hours

This is a new issue I noticed since yesterday....clock was slow by 4 hours...adjusted it manually and today it was slow by 30 minutes. Any ideas on how to keep it synched to an external site like you can on an PC? Thanks

This is not an uncommon problem and has been discussed here before. I suggest you search the iPad forum, using the search function on the right, for:
time AND (loosing OR slow)

Clock running slow

I built a machine for my father recently. It is a KM4M-L board with 256 DDR SDRAM ruing Wn 98 second edition. The clock is always slow and the mouse is sticking on occasion. I recently changed his hard drive from a 13 gig running at ATA 33 to a 30 gig running ATA 100 and although it helped some there is still a problem. DOes anyone have any advice? Do I need to upgrade his machine to WinXP Pro. Thanks in advance.
Rob

yes, which clock do you mean? CPU clock or the system time clock? i had an issue with my mobo when i first got it and i thought the battery was going dead too. the issue was that my bios and win clock would not keep time properly and if i turned off computer for a while, it would seem as tho i was turning it on for 1st time. well, i was going to get a new battery, but then decided to check the jumper, just in case it was set to clear. i didnt think this would be the issue tho since the comp shouldnt boot if the jumper is in clear. looking at my mobo, msi completely forgot to put a jumper in the board in the 1st place! took a jumper from a old pos i had laying around, put in in 1&2, and everything has worked fine since.

Why is clock running slow?

Why is clock on phone losing about 3-4 minutes a day?

Sounds like it isn't syncing correctly with either your network time or network time zone settings.

STRANGE!!! Windows Xp clock running fast....

Hi guys. Youve helped me in the past so I hope you can help me again!
My MSI system has been running solid as a rock for about 1and1/2years now. Very happy with it. untill now..
It all started after I installed a bluetooth dongle (or so i though). I suddently realised that my xp clock was running fast about 10seconds every minute. I though this is weird so did the obvious things... restarted comp checked bios which was running fine. It is only when I get into windows that it starts to run fast. I uninstalled the bluetooth software thinking it was the culprit but obvoisuly wasnt. I then decided it was about time that i reformatted again anyway so reformatted and sure enough it fixed the problem, proving to me that it is a software problem not a hardware. Then, after about 4 months of my new reformatted system being up and running it suddenly has started doing it again. I havent even installed the bluetooth software or anything that is obviouslty the problem. I dont know if this has anything to do with it but my firewire card has also stopped working for somereason. I replaced it with a new one and that doesnt work either!
Any ideas anyone, ive searched the whole forum and internet and it doesnt seem like a common problem!
Many thanks
Jon.

Hello hurndall:
I see you are running XP/SP2 with all patches. Besides that, are you running any third party software that monitors communication? Looking at this from the paranoid perspective, have you run a spyware/malware sweep of your system?
The Windows Time service that you stopped is used to synchronize time across a network and does not directly control your RTC. Unless systems on your network are using it there will be no effect, so you can probably leave it stopped.
Regarding your fast clock problem, I have had this type of problem on PC platforms that were using the RTC interrupt to start background tasks such as data logging or other hardware. The hardware RTC clock uses IRQ 8; old MS-DOS software would modify the code associated with this interrupt to give pseudo-real time operation to specific processes. As I recall there is/was a timer that pinged this IRQ at 13.8 ms intervals and so kept the clock going. Although the usual symptom in these cases was a clock running SLOW, not fast, it is possible to have a clock run fast due to a bug in the added software.
You can do a rudimentary check on your system by starting Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager - View - Resources By Connection - IRQ
Look at IRQ 8 - it should only be associated with the RTC function.
This is probably not going to get you anywhere but it is something that should be checked anyway.
Looking at your problem from the other direction, it seems that your system has issues with communication devices - Bluetooth, FireWire and now Remote Login. I'm not sure how you are communicating with your system remotely (network - i.e., ethernet or dial-up, i.e., modem), but you might want to reinstall/update the drivers associated with your Ethernet or Modem hardware. Since the problem seems to go away on a reinstall, which refreshes all these drivers, you might want to try this. It's a lot simpler than a reinstall.
The Remote Login Service installs and/or starts a number of services that depend on the svchost.exe module. It seems unlikely that there is a problem there but you might want to make sure that svchost.exe is truly the SP2 version or whatever is the most recent. I don't know if any patches since SP2 have modified it. You could look at another XP system can check the properties of svchost.exe.
My system reports
File Version 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Product Version 5.1.2600.2180
for svchost.exe
Sorry I can't give you any more specific help.
Good luck,
ss

5800 xpress music.Clock is running slow.

The Time in my 5800 xpress music changes aautomatically.Its running slow.I had corrected the time 2 weeks back and now its 10 mins slow. Automatic Time update option is turned OFF.Pleaase help me...

It's a well-known bug in the 5800. In fact a cursory search on these forums will probably return many hits.
Google for a piece of software called FreeTimeBox. You can set it to sync your clock using NTP protocol whenever you switch the phone on.

Lumia 800 crash problems after running Network Set...

Hi!
Long post coming up but if somebody at Nokia reads and makes sense of it and a fix comes about then it'll have been worth it.
Phone: Nokia Lumia 800 (sim free)
Firmware: 11500
Location: UK and Ireland
Since I got my Lumia 800 (November) I've been traveling between UK and Ireland a lot.
The phone works fine in the UK but in Ireland, when I put in my three.ie sim the phone keeps crashing during network related operations such as coming out of flight mode or reading/replying to a text message.
It's not a dodgy sim because this is the third one (I get a new payg sim each month) and this problem has occurred throughout.
At first I noticed that I could not configure the phone where MMS and internet data worked at the same time. If I added the 3internet APN then data worked but MMS didn't. If I deleted the APN then MMS worked but data didn't.
Another problem with this phone in Ireland was that it kept crashing whenever I took it out of flight mode. Again, this did not happen in the UK with my UK (Three network) sim.
As this has been happening from the first days that I got the phone I've been looking for a solution/workaround the whole time and I remember one of the first bits of information I found was somebody suggesting that the phone worked fine with the first sim inserted (which in my case was the UK sim). That stuck with me and when the Network Setup app (from Nokia) appeared I thought "ah! this makes sense, now I should be able to switch sims".
Unfortunately the app did not fix the problem of not having a unified network configuration for data and MMS.
This week I bit the bullet and reset the phone with the Ireland sim inserted. O...M...G...!!! Internet data AND MMS now work (in Ireland) and I have not gone anywhere near the APN configuration.
I used the phone for an hour surfing, checking emails, sending texts and MMSs, all was good.
Then I thought about the Network Setup app and wondered what it would do, so I ran it. The very next incoming text message crashed the phone! Then I rebooted and found that internet data did not work.
Next I repeated this process. Reset phone with three.ie sim inserted, checked that internet data and MMS worked (they did), ran Network Setup, internet data no longer worked, opened an incoming text...it didn't crash.
So, not a reproducible problem
Next test: flight-mode toggling. This one IS reproducible.
Location: Ireland
Sim: three.ie
Fully reset phone.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
After running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=12
Fully reset phone again.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
After running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=11
Fully reset phone again.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
So now I'm not going to run Network Setup, I'll head back to the UK on Friday and see if my phone continues to work properly with my UK sim.
Hope this helps somebody
Matt
[Edit]
Oh poop!!
Phone just crashed when coming out of flight mode and I have not run Network Setup.
MMS and internet data are working though so I'll just not use flight mode at night...or on planes

> Try moving closer to a window, or even going fully outside
Oh it's sooo tempting to click "Accept as solution"
But yes, one day, one day soon, I will go outside.

Lumia 800 doesn't keep time

I've had this problem for ever now, and none of the updates have fixed this issue, and I'm not the only one with this problem.
The clock of my Lumia 800 runs too fast, in a week or two, it will be 3-4 minutes ahead of time, and in a month it's already 5 minutes, this is just unacceptable. The difference gain slows down with time so to keep it within a minute I need to set the time very often (weekly).
I've tried using manual time, and automatic, both of which don't help the problem, and it seems the automatic time option doesn't even work since no matter what time you set, when you switch it to automatic, it doesn't do anything.
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed by the support this phone has gotten since it's release, especially with the firmware updates.

Hi masterpeura,
Thanks for your post.
If your Lumia does not retain the correct time when on network time I would suggest you have the Lumia checked by a Nokia Care Point or Repair Centre.
From personal experience I can say when linked to Network time my Lumia keeps accurate and correct time on my own network (GiffGaff/O2) and when abroad (US, T-Mobile). It will adjust between time zones within a minute of switching on or coming out of flight mode. Obviously there may be a reason why your phone is not doing so for which it will have to be checked by a repair centre.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

Does installing many applications in Lumia 800 (Wi...

I have installed many applications and games in my Lumia 800 (windows 7.5), but I am worried whether installing many applications in a windows phone will ultimately slows down my mobile?

Actually I heard that microsoft designed the Windows Mobile OS in such a way that there will be no any background application running while running a particular application. So I don't understand how the mobile device will perform slow in case of a large no of aplications installed in it, because the RAM memory space will not be occupied by additional applications because of no background process.
Could you please shed some light on this technical thing if I am wrong?

Nokia Lumia 800 - Micro Stuttering / Lag in OS and...

Hi everyone,
I just thought i'd bring an issue up that i've been experiencing recently.
I have a Nokia Lumia 800 (locked to Telstra - Australia)
I'm experiencing very minor, completely random slow downs or lag sometimes when just flicking through the phone OS and also at times when watching video (either recorded on the phones own camera or Youtube etc).
The most repeatable way for me to demonstrate the problem is watching a video i have recorded using the phones inbuilt camera, when playing the video back (on the phone) the video randomly lags, usually for about the first 60 seconds and then plays smoothly. It is definately not a reception or buffering issue, as in most streaming cases, the phone is well buffered.
I have also experienced slowdowns when typing an SMS, where the key presses are very slow to show up on the screen and also when launching even OS built in apps like the People Hub or Contacts.
I'm running the latest firmware 12070 (in Australia) and have tried hard resetting my phone, disabling all background agents etc with no luck.
I previously had a 1st gen HTC Mozart which experienced no slowdowns and played back all manner of video with no lag whatsoever.
There has been some discussions on XDA here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26164497&posted=1#post26164497
Has anyone else experienced any of these symptoms?

I too have this sms lag on my lumia 800. i had this issue on both formwares : 12070 and 12072. I really fed up the no of bugs in this phone.
please guys post the following bug as well. following bug is present in 5 of my frnd's lumia 800 as well. XDA please make sure this new issue reaches NOKIA. So that they can do something about.
Even i have got this latest 12072 update but still dr is one more bug guess u have not noticed it. Can u please check and clarify with the following bug description.
1." Connect you nokia handsfree or any headphones to your lumia 800 and make a call and notice that u cannot adjust the volume. Volume remains high (max) always even if you reduce the volume to zero."
2."Connect your hands free or any head set to your lumia 800 play music and reduce the volume to 15 or less now make a call again you cannot adjust the volume of the call. now cut the call and now your music starts playing in max volume which you will not be able to reduce. Until you remove your hands free or headset and reinsert it.
