So I'm sitting here at Google IO, at 2:40 p.m., when the alarm decides to go off. I'd set the alarm for 6:40 a.m., and now the phone is telling me it's 6:40 a.m., and, of course, the alarm goes off. WTF?

Anybody else seen this?

This happend to my old EVO 4G. And ever since it, the EVO always kept the wrong time until the day I sold it. I dreaded the moment I would hear this happening to the TB.

I was really ticked at my EVO when it woke me up at 3:30 AM.

Obviously, there is a nasty bug somewhere deep in sense.

and manually updating the time didn't fix it? or turning auto update off then back on

You mean me or phil? No, for me, it didn't. Well, it temporarily set the correct time back for a couple hours or days but then the issue would come back. In fact, a reset didn't fix it either. I was thinking it was a Sprint network issue. But it lasted months, so, that was out.

why didn't you get a warranty replacement? thats a defect not a feature.

Not really sure. I guess I didn't care because I knew I wasn't keeping it....
Besides, Phil is having the same issue on a different HTC device on a different network...... seems like a sense bug to me.
