My clock is slow!

I have the 5C with Verizon, just recently my clock start to run slow. Yesterday and this morning it was 30 minutes slow. After the first time I had restarted my phone. It happened again this morning. Please help!

Go to Settings > General > Date and Time. Is the 'Set Automatically' turned on or off? Are you assigned to the correct Time Zone?

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!

Java Thread.. System Clock gets slower..

Hello All!
I have never came accross such problem in my last 4 years of java development but right now its sucking my brain like any thing..
Let me clerify what my application is doing.
A node which is basically thread is executed and as it performs its job it is stopped by breaking the while loop like logic and then a method isRunnable() is called to calculate the time to run the thread again on the basis of pre-defined schedule (e.g. after 1 minute). so what i was doing in this method i was calling wait (sheduledMinutes*60*1000).
There are multiple nodes which can be run in parallel. Problem occured when some nodes started immediately or after a time much shorter than the value defined in wait() method.
So as an alternative way i decided to not rely on wait() and wrote my own implementaion i.e. i call wait(1000) in isRunnable() and the check if the current system time is less then the scheduled time. But it didn't work either.
The problem revealed when i printed the valued of current time taken by the system and the scheduled one. The System clock gives the current time which is less than the actual System time shown on windows clock. I dont know why but it seems like as my threads continue to run the system clock gets slower or something and returns an old time. Hence nodes start immediately.
Any solution to this problem would be highly appreciable.
Regards,

Well yeah u r right. I figured it out that it was just my threads running slowly. But the threads ran immediately there was another reason for that. My threads were waiting for the sheduled minutes to run again. In the mean while if i presed the stop button to stop the thread i was just setting the stop variable value to true. Which was basically the check in the while loop in run method. U can notice the thread still sleeping due to the call to wait method. And then if again mean while i press start button i called System.gc(). and then pass the current thread to new Thread like Threa t = new Thread(node); t.start();
Now u can c another thread has been created but the last one was not collected by the garbage collector as it was still waiting and doing something ofcourse not dead. So now when new thread stops these was a possiblity of last thread ( one in waiting state) to run according to schedule and it make the current thread run immediately.
I hope u can understand how difficult it was for me to figure this thing out :)
But after 3/4 hours hair tearing i got the bug and then when i was stopping a thread i infact broke the waiting loop as well. Now the thread was dead and collected by garbage collector before new thread could start :)
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh sometimes programmign really sucks.
Have fun. and thanx for ur concern..
Regards

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.

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

Why is my new ipod Touch 5 with iOS 7.1 clock is slow by almost 3 minutes?

Why is my new ipod Touch 5 with iOS 7.1 clock is slow by almost 3 minutes?

Radiation, global warming maybe... Really don't know, the time should update when you connect to the internet. You could also try resetting and see if it corrects. Are you sure the clock your comparing with is set to the correct time? Good luck, Cheers.

The core clock is slow or no core clock connected for this ILA or the ILA core may not meet timing.

[Labtools 27-1395] Unable to arm ILA 'hw_ila_1'. The core clock is slow or no core clock connected for this ILA or the ILA core may not meet timing.
I have seen related forums but cant get any help. My timing is completely fine. I tried all JTAG frequencies from 1.5MHZ to `12 MHZ. My clk for ILA core runs at 100 MHZ.
If i remove one IP , then the ILA core works. THE BD is attached. If i remove the right most IP(HLS_croppin) it works. I really cant understand. There is nothign worng with the timin in either case.

There are four possible reasons for this problem:
- The trigger condition is never met;
- The trigger clock (clock mapped to the ILA Core) is stopped;
- A known issue exists with the Storage Qualification feature;
- BUFG is not being used on JTAG CLK (for the ICON).
The trigger condition is never met
Check the message at the bottom of the ChipScope Analyzer window. If it is similar to "Waiting for trigger, Sample buffer has 0 samples(0%)," proceed as follows:
1. Go to "Trigger Setup" and "Trigger Immediate." If ChipScope Analyzer starts the acquisition and shows the samples (the waveform appears), your design is fine; the clock is running, but your trigger condition never occurs.
2. In the "Trigger Setup windows, ensure that you have set the condition correctly if you are sure that this event (the trigger condition) happens in your design.
The trigger clock is stopped
If the message at the bottom of the window is similar to "Waiting for Core to be armed, slow or stopped clock," the trigger condition is not the problem -- the ILA Core does not have a valid clock and is not able to start the acquisition. To fix this, ensure that you have mapped a valid clock (in ChipScope Inserter or ChipScope Generator). If you are not sure if the clock mapped to the ILA Core is running, try to connect your system clock instead (or a clock that you are sure is running).
BUFG is not used on ICON's JTAG clock
If the JTAG clock does not use a BUFG, the "Waiting for upload" message can appear.
In some instances, slowing down the cable speed might provide a suitable work-around.

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)

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?
T43p that ran out of warranty two months ago.
Thanks,

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

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

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.

Timer with slow system clock

I have a timer that performs scheduled events at a fixed rate. If the system clock is slow, is it possible that the associated TimerTask will stop running? Is there anything else that may be unexpectedly halting the execution of the TimerTask? Thanks.

I have a server clock that I'd like to emulate on the client, by only obtaining the server time a few times per hour after initialization and relying on a client TimerTask to keep pace. Sometimes, a client's clock is slow due to a bad battery, etc. Occasionally, a client reports that their clock has either frozen or fallen off the pace by several seconds, even with a sound system clock. The code looks as follows:
private final TimerTask heartbeatTask = new TimerTask() {
        public void run() {
            synchronized (heartbeatListeners) {
                for (Iterator it = heartbeatListeners.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
                    HeartbeatListener listener = (HeartbeatListener) it.next();
                    try {
                        listener.tick();
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
            synchronized (serverTimeLock) {
                serverTime += 1000;
public init(...) {
     heartbeatTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(heartbeatTask, 0, 1000);
}

HT1430 Why is my clock 13 minutes slow on my iPod touch if I have it set to set the time automatically? I have ios7.1.

My clock is slow by 13 minutes.

Internet does work right?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
