Curious. Civil time is based on UTC, not GPS. Shouldn't the "smart"
phones account for the difference from GPS time? We have the technology.
BTW, my Verizon CDMA "dumb" phone is currently only 1 second ahead, NOT
16 secs.

May not be redundant for time nuts! I have an NTP client on my Android and

So that makes it, what, 21 seconds off? It should be 19 seconds ahead of
UTC, since Sprint has a CDMA network, which works on GPS time.
It's likely you have multiple processes trying to pull the clock in
different directions. Left alone, Android devices sync to network time,
which is GPS, not UTC, in many cases. It's a bug, IMHO, but that's the way
it is.

Interesting... I have two different phones (Mot. 'Droid, and Samsung
Galaxy Nexus) which each use a different source for time, in spite of
the fact that they are on the same carrier. The 'Droid uses UTC, the
Nexus uses GPS (yes, they are (now) 16 seconds apart).
