Help Sprint EVO 4G updates clock/location to another Country

[beestea]

All, for the 5th or 6th time since having my EVO I woke up this AM to find out the clock and location had updated to a different Country. I am in Washington DC, and today my phone was giving me the weather and time for Tokyo Japan. This is a pretty major issue since I have alarms, etc that didn't go off when I expected them to. Each time this has happened the location is half way across the world.

As for my phone settings, I leave GPS on (slight signal inside my house I think), I leave Wi-Fi off almost all of the time, under Settings -> Date and Time I have Automatic (use network provided values), and under Settings -> Location I have Use wireless networks, use GPS Satellites checked. Under Settings -> Location -> Location setting I have it turned ON.

So my first question is, does anyone else run into this problem? My second question is do you guys think its a CDMA time update bug from the Sprint Network, or is it a Android problem with GPS locating?

And finally, are there any known fixes?

It used to happen to me all the time when I was on the stock rom. The only workaround is to remove the widget, then re add that. but like you have experienced, that wont fully solve the problem, as it will just come right back. I just stopped using that widget (even though I love the look of it) and started using Simi Clock.

You know, it might be a nice feature if they prompted you before allowing it to automatically change timezones... that would pretty much make me happy.
