Android :: Internal Clock Off By 15 Seconds / Solve That?

This is weird and hopefully only a Moto Droid or local tower problem.

There is a difference of 15 seconds between my Droid's idea of time and UTC/GMT. This supposedly can't happen as cellular communications rely on 10ms accuracy and the Droid internal clock is set by cell towers.

I'm looking for some other Moto Droid developers to take a look and report if there is any time offset in their area. I've written a test app and posted source and apk at http://a9k.net/#droid . There is a screen shot there. It's very basic - show internal time (both System.currentTimeMillis() and Calendar.getInstance()) and show web page at www.time.gov.

Another simple test is to compare the phone's time to a computer that is synchronized to a net time server. You'll need to check seconds or watch for a whole minute. The minutes will not be equal from 45-59 seconds UTC.

The repercussions of an error in setting the internal clock could be extensive. Then again maybe Verizon towers here are whacko in MT?
