thoengthaied Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I can usually rely on the time displayed on my smartphone but recently the time has been displaying 3 minutes late. My SIM card is supplied by AIS. Can anybody explain why I might be having this problem, or is everybody having the same issue? For instance, right now my phone is displaying 10:30 but my laptop is displaying 10:33. Google (on my phone) gives 10:33 as the time in Thailand. Regards, thoengthaied.

mtls2005 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Could be the UI or Widget on your phone, assume you have it set to Automatic: Settings, System, Date & Time. What's the phone make and model? Are you using a Widget? Is this a new discrepancy? https://www.androidcentral.com/why-wont-my-phone-keep-right-time Edited February 25, 2022 by mtls2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Tom Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Only here can a phone company, taking time checks from a satellite, get the time screwed up, priceless. Actually, in terms of relative time, Thailand is at least 30 years behind the West in technological terms, so you're lucky its only 3 minutes. I jest, its probably a phone issue.

I don't know if I'm using a widget or not! I'm not tech savvy. I first noticed this discrepancy about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Have a look in settings and Date and time, i use AIS and my time is correct vs Google Edited February 25, 2022 by scubascuba3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoengthaied Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 When I first posted I turned off "use network provided time". I have just turned it on again and hey presto the time has re adjusted to display correctly. So all seems good again. Thanks for your help, mtls2005 and Doctor Tom. Till next time!

NanLaew Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 My computer on 3BB, one mobile on DTAC and the other mobile with a UK SIM roaming on AIS all show exactly the same time. I feel I am being cheated here. Who should I complain to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just checked and the deviation is less than a second (as good as visual compare allows to see). Phone lags behind a fraction. I compared with this site: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/thailand/bangkok To be sure I use a GPS test tool on the phone and this website is exact to the what visual compare can verify. (GPS Test by ChartCross Limited, quite feature rich) Edited February 25, 2022 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Maybe my phone shows exact time because I do the unthinkable: switch it off every night. What a privilege 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
