Time doesn't tick on the phone. Why does the time on my phone get lost?

There are several reasons for this “temporal anomaly” to appear in the tablet. And believe me, if the time is lost, it’s unlikely that the tablet has forgotten how to count.

List of main reasons why this happens and solutions

1. You turn off the tablet at night, for example, to save battery. A very common reason, and the only way to get the time to work correctly is to stop turning off the tablet without a good reason. This is not a laptop or a TV.
2. If your tablet is equipped with a 3G module and a SIM card is inserted into it, remember where you bought the SIM card. Perhaps you bought a card in another region, where there is a different time zone. And if you have a checkmark in your settings “Network date and time”, this means that the tablet is set to the time specified by the operator settings in the region where the SIM card was purchased. The solution is to uncheck this box and set the time manually.

1. “Bad” firmware. If you have dabbled with flashing your tablet, it is quite possible that the firmware you installed contains some kind of bug. Solution - flash with official software.
2. The problem may be the device itself. They say that with Chinese tablets, swirling over time is a fairly common occurrence. The ClockSync application will help in the fight against this disease (requires ROOT rights to work). This program will allow you to set up automatic time synchronization via the Internet, the main thing is in the date and time settings, uncheck the “Network time zone” item, and set the correct time zone that corresponds to your region.

At a certain time of his absence in phone Various settings are reset, including time. In some models, the same situation is observed when removing the memory card. Sometimes the contact of the battery with the phone weakens, for example, this can happen when it falls. In this case, there is also a high probability that the time settings will go wrong. Another option is an old battery that quickly loses its charge. Replacing it will help solve the problem. Another possible reason for resetting to phone time is an incorrect time zone setting. To change it, open the phone menu, then the “Settings” section and select the appropriate item. Please note that one of the reasons may also be the legislative abolition of the transition to winter in Russia. time since autumn 2011.

Another solution may be to update the firmware of your mobile device. If you use a program to synchronize your phone and computer, the reason may lie in the enabled time synchronization option. To disable it, run the program, open its settings, find the corresponding item and uncheck it, then save the changes. Some phone models also synchronize time when connected to the Internet. Disable this option in your phone settings.

The exact time is displayed on the computer using a special chip, which is powered by the mains when the computer is turned on and by a small battery when it is turned off. The reasons for errors in the displayed time are usually the same for each computer.

Hardware problems

The primary reason that the wrong time is displayed when you turn on the computer and boot the system is that the battery in the case is depleted, which makes the computer unable to maintain the correct time after it is turned off. The battery needs to be replaced. To do this, turn off the computer from the network and disconnect the power cable from the system unit. Unscrew the screws that hold the side cover of the device and pull out the cover itself. Find the battery and, bending the fastener, remove it. Place a new battery in the case. Usually a 3V battery is sufficient.

Make sure your computer's power supply is powerful enough. In some cases, due to the incorrect selection of this element, the computer may malfunction, causing it to display the wrong time.

If, even after replacing the battery, the time is still set incorrectly, contact a technician: the problem may be an outdated motherboard that has failed or conflicts with newer equipment.

Problems with the operating system

Make sure you have set the time zone correctly. Typically, these settings are entered during system installation, but you can also set them later by double-left-clicking on the clock in the lower right corner of the screen and going to the “Time Zone” tab. Remember that if you set the wrong time zone, the system will automatically set the time corresponding to it.

Viruses may be the cause of incorrect time setting by the system. Check your computer's hard drive and removable media with an antivirus program and remove any malicious objects found.

Please note whether time synchronization with Internet services is enabled in the time settings. It is advisable to set the Microsoft website as the time source. In this case, it will become accurate and will be automatically adjusted every time you connect to the Internet.

Check if any software is messing up the time. Some programs have their own time settings and, after installation, configure the system to suit their needs, ignoring the settings set by the user. It is advisable not to install suspicious applications downloaded from suspicious Internet sources on your computer.

For many users, a mobile phone has become an excellent replacement for a wristwatch. With its help you can always determine the current time. For this reason, for many of them, periodically resetting time settings is a serious problem.
