OK, a little more experimenting. Setting the time behind a few minutes works as expected. Setting the time ahead a few minutes will not update the time automatically.
** Description changed: Upon another crash which caused my phone to set the time back to 1970, I selected the update automatically option and nothing happened, the time remained in 1970. I then set the time manually, but deliberately set it several minutes ahead before setting it back to automatically, so I could test if it would set the time later on. After several weeks, the time is still several minutes ahead, so clearly hasn't been updated. - Update: The sync occurs when connecting to WiFi, but because I use WiFi - so infrequently, I have gone several months without it syncing, thinking - that this was broken. + Seems this works correctly when the time is behind the current time, but + fails to do anything when the time is ahead. + + To reproduce: + - Set time manually a few minutes behind. + - Select automatic time and observe that the time is corrected. + - Set time manually a few minutes ahead. + - Select automatic time and observe that the time is not corrected. ** Summary changed: - Automatically update time does not work on mobile network + Automatically update time does not work if time is manually set ahead of the real time -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1459643 Title: Automatically update time does not work if time is manually set ahead of the real time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1459643/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
