Yeah I'm with you about taking advantage of the phone's GPS signal to get a
good clock, and I thought that this is what this time-server thing does.
What does it do if not that?
It's weird that nothing does it yet. Any takers?

The one I saw was just an Android port of the standard NTP server, which

One possible explanation may be that due to the very hard time cellphones
have to get and maintain GPS locks (which is the reason we have
technologies like AGPS) makes it impractical

Doesn't make sense to me:
1. The NTP server only needs the time signal, not the location (which
requires 4 satellites to be accurate), so even a signal from a single
satellite should be sufficient.
2. getting a signal lock is mostly a matter of having an up to date
satellite position almanac and
Hi All,
There are applications to update the time by GPS - e.g. Smart Time Sync
It needs root access. It does sync periodically (at most twice an hour).
Such an application together with NTP server application (there are a few)
makes a stratum 1 time server.
Ehud.

+1 for Smart Time Sync + ntp server.
Now the perfectionist in me would still like to combine what it does with
an NTP daemon reference clock :)
