Odd you should have this problem as I had exactly the same. In my case it was a slow DHCP server. Around 7 seconds in the phones tries to time sync. If the phone hasn't got an IP address then this time sync fails but it doesn't retry. I emailed Grandstream about it but got nowhere. I changed my DHCP server from Windows to Linux and now DHCP is much faster and time sync is working.

That has solved some other problems I've had as well. I just got a 2000 which does exactly this (our first for evaluation.. which is somewhat disappointing thus far). I could see in a packet sniffer a weird cycle of DHCP requests like it got an IP but kept retrying? A power cycle doesn't solve the problem (it's had many, and dozens of software resets). A reset with the MAC input doesn't work either for me. The phone was at an older FW when I got it (ending in .9, I think) and then updated to to the latest stable (.12 I think off the top of my head). Btw- the firmware update was a pain. HTTP updates were hitting the server (Apache) with 'bad request' results. I needed to set up my own tfpt server to make it work. Off lan updates weren't working, either, in any case. The phone will register and work when it has a static address assigned, but not when set for DHCP. In all cases, the clock is always wrong. I can see with a packet sniffer that the NTP request is sent and received, but with no effect on the phone display. Was there a resolution to this issue? The GXP-2000 seems to be a very popular phone, so I can't imagine others on the list not experiencing this? Or is this part of a batch with unresolvable problems that I need to send back to the seller? Thanks!
