How to set the right time on your Android device
If this is your first time seeing a broken time on your Android device, maybe you just need to change it manually this time. To change the time on your Android 10 device, go to:
- Settings
- System
- Preferred Time
Once you enter Date and Time, you can set the time manually, but you will need to turn off the Use time option provided by the network. After that, the options for adjusting the time and date will light up.
The network-provided option rarely shows the wrong time, but in this case a simple toggle could fix it.
If your Android device is running on Android 9, you can manually set the time by going to:
- Settings
- General management
- Date and time
- Disable automatic date and time
- Manually set date and time
When Time Zone is the cause of the problem
If you are an Android user who travels a lot, then you have definitely encountered the time zone issue. But, by directly changing the time zone, you should be good to go. To change the time zone, go to:
-
- Settings
- System (scroll all the way down)
- Date and time
- Disable network-provided time zone
- Select time zone
