Help ...is your clock speeding up?

all phones are setup by default to automatically get the time from the network... unless you mess with it. the battery in his phone might be bad.... the battery on the motherboard.

Not sure if you're joking, but phones don't have batteries on their motherboards.
Here is the teardown for our identical twin the evo 3d, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151638

No battery.

I'm going with network time not set to update.
 
There has to be something providing temporary power when you remove the battery, otherwise your settings go out the window. In the past most cmos and nvram used batteries but the failure rate was problematic. Now that most devices use so little power in standby they can get by with a small storage capacitor to accomplish this much more reliably.
