i'm not real sure what is happening with my phone but all of a sudden it switches to eastern timezone and its not central time zone i tried to change it back to central and turn back on automaticall updates wouldn't work have to reboot my phone in order for it to correct the time and timezone

i'm hoping this isn't going to be an issue i don't know due to update few days ago or need another slim card or what i'm hoping when its 10 pm it will stay like that not sure what to do god i hope i don't have to get another reburshed phone meh

well i talk to a friend yesterday on facebook her timezone was screwing up she also reboot phone her mother timezone was messing up since weds night as mine i did call tech they saying that got a tower saying 2 timezones central and eastern phone stay on center then change to eastern he saying that it will never going to stay on central time saying to turn off automatically date and time manual turn eastern back to centeral go from there another friend told me on channel 5 news at 6 there was a special on verizon phones timezone mess up since tues

i still think there's a bug and i will be going to verizon today and asked them why phone cannot stay on central time half the day without going into eastern time see some way to fixed situation because if you guys recall when i had regular phone last week it did stay on centeral time at least i now know its affecting other phones not mine my friend had galaxy s5 phone btw nor not a slim card or due to update software recently meh

There's a bug, but it's in the tower, not your carrier or your phone. They have to fix their tower.

verizon about noon today it change to 1 very frustrating i still can't figure out onto why when i manual change eastern to centeral turn off automatic update and turn back on centeral it changes back to eastern

had to reboot phone i really don't want to turn off automatc date and time just because a tower is showing 2 different time zones instead of 1

well it just change to 3:19 to 4:19 ugh

apprently it hasn't been corrected i thought it was a glitch when i download an app early sat morning in playstore around 1 am and time switch i reboot ok well as soon as i left the house time switch to eastern was getting into the car travel down to franklin tennessee<-time change back to central and remain centeral going on interstate to the towns like lebanon tenn mt juliet right into nashville to franklin and on way back home it also stay in central but alas as soon as i got to the house at 11:49 it changed straight to 12:49 never changed back

i just don't understand what's the matter my friend phone who lives in same city has a samsung galaxy s5 and mother has some motorla phone who went to verizon friday got their timezone fixed

me on the other hand experience changing timezones since weds night and yes i will be going to verizon 1 day this week to get this situated i just don't understand my little city is centeral time why when i got on interstate yesterday afternoon going to franklin tenn and coming back timezone stay centeral but home it goes straight to eastern there's has to be something in area where i live at making timezone not stay centeral need to be fixed
