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.

The problem is, Google doesn't have a clue. The issue was first reported to them almost 3 years ago - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5485

BTW, my Verizon CDMA "dumb" phone is currently only 1 second ahead, NOT
16 secs.

It likely has a fixed correction built into firmware, and was in sync with UTC prior to the recent leap second.
