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.

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 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

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,
Jack

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?

Why does Lion run slower than Snow Leopard?

I recently loaded Lion on my older MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core Duo, with 4 GB 677 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. and it runs slower and the it seems to be hotter and consume more battery power. Are the configuration option that can reduce the power drain?

You may have some mildly-incompatible third-party software, or you may be doing tasks that demand a lot of RAM and 4 GB is no longer enough on a system that has double the memory requirements of SL. Or could be something else entirely. Take a look at Understanding upgrade nightmares* for more information and some potential solutions.

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)

Why PB application run slower in Windows 7 than XP?

Hi there,
Why PB application in windows 7 64-bit slower than in XP? Is something that I need to change in OS level or PB?
The PB version 12.x
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
thx!

Hi Patrick;
I would have to say in general that in all my W7 versus XP testing that PB runs about 15-20% slower on W7 than XP.
Now, this can be counteracted by stepping up the memory and CPU power on your W7 machine.
However, newer W7 machines speeds can be severely degraded by low RAM configuration and in particular poor printer drivers. The latter is what determines the DataWindow speed as the DWO utilizes the current printer driver to visualize the DW primary buffer. So a poor performing print driver can not only slow your application down but make the DW Painter in the IDE very slow to open

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 iTunes running slow

I'm using iTunes 10.7 (avoiding iTunes 11 because you can't have multiple playlists open at the same time with it) on my MacBook Pro. I have a large library on an external Thunderbolt drive. I'm finding iTunes running annoyingly slow quite. I've eliminated all but one or two smart playlists, but have more a couple of hundred regular playlists. Looking for suggestions on how to speed up iTunes.

No it's not your computer. The newest version of itunes is basically unusable. It will freeze, not only the program itself, but it will slow your whole computer to a crawl, or more usually, to a completely frozen state. I've done some time checks:
After clicking on a song, it took over 40 seconds before the song actually played.
After sliding the volume slider to the left to descrease volume, it took over 90 seconds for the change to actually be implemented.
I haven't listend to music for months on my computer because of this stupid memory hog of a program. Never had a problem until some of the more recent updates.
Apparently itunes philosophy is "If it ain't broke, break it."

Why query is running slow....?morning evrything is fine...

but now what happened...

Hi neeraja,
As said above ,you Can check in RSRTand OLAPCACHE.In RSRt,You can also check whether the query is hitting the right aggregates or not to pull the data.
Apart from this, you can also Check with BW statistics and check where the problem lies
<b>And another important T-code is St03n.</b> .here you can analyse why the query is taking more time than required to execute.
As far as problem is concerned,if it is a server issue,please contact your Basis Consultant and also verify the Rfc connection.

Why is Firefox running slow with version 17?

Hello there I was wondering whether you could please assist me with an issue with version 17.
I have recently updated to firefox 17 and i regret to advise that its running really really slow. I notice several other users have had similar issues as I noticed in the support forums.
I am running Trend Micro Virus software if that means anything to the performance of firefox.
I love using firefox and really would like to get this issue fixed if you can point me in the right direction.

I have the same experience when I updated Firefox to a new version but kept an very old version Adblock Plus, which still appeared to work properly. After update ABP to the new version, my Firefox doesn't stuck any more.
Try to run Firefox without any addon loaded. If FF runs smoothly alone, then there must be some problem with your addons.

Why is Safari running slow on my MBP?

It just recently started to slow down. A few hours ago, I experienced it so I just turned off my MBP to, hopefully fix it, but Safari is still going slow. Yesterday, it was running fine and I was loading up pages fast. Now, when I ever I go to a new page or click a link, it pauses and the address bar above loads to about 3cm and the spinning color wheel spins for about 5 seconds until the new page loads. It does it for every thing I go to. Trying to ask this question probably took a minute to get to when it should only be a few seconds. I've tried Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and it is fine. When I enter a web address or click a link, in a few seconds, the new page shows. I really don't want to move to a new internet source because all my bookmarks and saves is on Safari. Is there a way to fix this?

Since Safari freezes before you can troubleshoot, boot in Safe Mode then try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plug-ins.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
