WTF? now solved

Last edited Wed Jan 1, 2020, 04:17 PM - Edit history (1)

my cell phone is 2 minutes faster than two others in the house and my computer!

edit: solved but still no idea why it happened in the first place

Why is my phone showing the wrong time?

Tap “Settings” and select the option to manage your “Time and Date” settings. Enable automatic updating of your cell phone's time. ... Wait 30 seconds and restart your phone. The phone automatically updates the time according to your location when it restarts.

If I remember, there was no adjustment on those old Tracfones - the time displayed was from the network and was always off a bit.

slower than my computer clock that I use for a standard. The blue numeral clock is set remotely after I
choose the time zone. All my other clocks are within a minute of the computer time and I can set the
time on them myself. It's a blow to my OCD/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but I've learned to live with it. Added to that is our rusty trusty microwave with a clock that's always fast but then I don't use it for telling thyme. My cell phone is same as my computer time.

No matter what time my clocks may show they all tell me tRUMP has to go!
