Thread: auto time update

bsnl mobile doesn't support auto time update. what could I do?

I don't think that any cell phone provider is providing auto time update service in India.

Auto time update can be obtained by connecting to GPRS.
Just keep the Auto update on and connect to your default service providers homepage and the time will be updated, then you can disconnect.

It is working on Airtel. I know that very well.

all CDMA providers support this facility. I fact most CDMA handsets don't have any internal time/date option.

Really?

I have used iDEA, BPL and Airtel in Pune (all GSM). None of them had auto time-update facility. So I assumed that Indian mobile telephony providers did not provide this feature.

I don't know how but it did happen to me once. Those days I had Nokia 1108 and two sim cards. I happened to go to delhi and had to change my sim as there was not enough balance left in the one that I was using. (Once you remove battery from Nokia 1108, it's time gets reset.) So when I switched to my another sim, my cell flashed a message like "time updated", and my handset's clock was set to correct date and time. Mind you that it was not 12.00.

It never happened again with me.
Don't know what was that!!

Direct update i too dont know but if you connect to GPRS sure 100% it will update (if you have kept that option on)

It is the handset feature and operator matter

hmmmm?? how can you say this....




note; auto time update is given by every service provider(except the aircel- which shows 02:30 am everytime i change the sim)

to do this go to time settings, and click confirm time change.. this will ask you if you wanna change the time..

and for this service (which is not a service actually) you dont need the gprs..

yes in my Father's reliance it updates after some seconds.

i got auto time update on my phone. I got an airtel prepaid plan.

Sure Airtel provides autotime update and Aircel too

Aircel is too fast and it updates time when u switched on. try it.

All cell phone providers support auto time update in India. It depends on the specific tower you are connected to at that time. So of the towers may not be configured properly (In your case) for current local time. Try going to a different place (out of this particular tower) and see if it updates time automatically..
