I have my phone (HTC Hero) configured to automatically get the current time from the mobile network. However everytime I turn it off and switch it back on, it still prompts me to set the time. I guess this is due to the fact that my provider doesn't provide the phone with the current time (even though I thought this was supported by Vodafone here in the Netherlands).
Since Android phones are usually always on-line AND are GPS enabled, I wondered why the phone shouldn't try to get the time from other sources instead of prompting the user. If the mobile carrier doesn't provide the time, it could try to get it from the GPS signals, with the added benefit that it could also automatically determine the current time zone. If GPS fails, it could try to sync with a NTP server over the internet. Is this possible? Could this be included in a future update to the Android OS, or the functionality possibly added with an application? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
