LG Optimus F3 displaying incorrect time.

[zargontapel]

Hi all, I just got a new F3 from Virgin Mobile, and everything works great, except the phone's time is four hours ahead of my time zone. I've tried everything to fix, restart, remove battery, check the manual, even called their customer service. Does anyone know any way to manually change the system time? Thanks so much in advance.

Go to Settings/Date & Time. Do you see an option for Automatic time zone? Make sure it's checked. Otherwise, you should be able to manually select your time zone on that page.

No dice, the only options in Date/Time are "User 24-hour format" and "Select date format" i.e. dd/mm/yyyy. No context menu, either.

Strange--it should be there, according to the manual (http://www.virginmobileusa.com/resources/phones/prepaid/manual/lgoptimusf3.pdf)

You've activated the phone already, yes?

Yes, it's activated. The manual is wrong, even customer service didn't know what to do. I've been making phone calls and texting all day, so it is activated, correct?

Not sure what else to try, besides asking for a replacement. Sorry, and good luck!

Ok, thanks so much for trying.
