Time four hours ahead

[silverfang77]

My MediSafe app alerted me to missed meds, which aren't due to be taken for four hours. When I checked the time, it was four hours ahead. I went into the settings and disabled network time and it started displaying the correct time again. I've re-enabled network time and its correct again.

What could cause that to happen?

Network-related time is solely handled by your carrier/network. Maybe a glitch on their end?

 

[silverfang77]

I guess. Something to keep an eye on.

Who's your provider.

 

[silverfang77]

VZW.

It must have been a glitch on their servers. Maybe they were hacked.

 

[silverfang77]

Maybe or something wrong with the tower.

I would try toggling automatic date and time in your settings and doing a restart and battery pull. This happened to me on Sunday when I got my Galaxy S8 Plus. Mine was an hour ahead. As soon as I toggled and restarted, it fixed the problem.

I'll do that if it happens again. Thanks.

Update: Did time reset and battery pull. However, it happened again the next day. I've been keeping track and it happens at the same intersection each day, leading me to believe it's a faulty tower. Is there a way to report a faulty tower to VZW?

Yeah just contact customer service. They can put in a ticket to engineers to let them know so they can take a look.

I've had that happen to me a few times, but only a few that were spread out.
