Hi, Hadmut, GPS consumes a lot battery power and only works at outdoor. Regular user would not always keep GPS on to sync the time. I think this is why android uses the mobile network instead of GPS to sync the time. Besides, if you can't get accurate time from your mobile network, you'd better check whether your network providers time synchronization first.
