Fortunately, modern mobile phones can not only accurately display data, but also use other tools associated with it. an alarm clock, timer, stopwatch and so on. Below we will analyze how to set the correct date and time on the Samsung phone. And also describe the steps that we need for this.
What you need to know about setting the date and time on Samsung?
As you know, most operating systems (including the Android OS installed on Samsung devices) use the so-called “to obtain data on the date and timetime servers“. These are special servers (or individual components on other servers) designed to accurately display data. They draw their information from the data of atomic clocks and other reliable sources, the results of which, subsequently, we use.
In the case of most Samsung phones, they receive date and time information from mobile operators. The latter uses the “time servers” mentioned by us to obtain relevant information, and then transmit it to their subscribers.
In this case, there are situations in which the operator loses stable synchronization with the servers. This is fraught with a violation of the accuracy of the time zone display on Samsung phones of subscribers of such an operator. In this case, it will be necessary to refuse to set the automatic time on our phones, and use the settings entered manually.
