Re: time zone server error

Welcome to Android Central! Which device? So are you saying that when you turn on Automatic Date & Time, it's an hour off? Is there an Automatic Time Zone setting as well? Is there a Daylight Savings Time setting?

Re: time zone server error

The automatic time setting is the time at the cellphone tower your phone is connected to. You could have one of two problems:

1) The tower has the wrong time. (Even carriers sometimes mess things up.)

2) You live near the edge of a timezone, and the tower you're connected to is on the other side of the line, so the time is correct for where the tower is.
