Tab clock slow

[JohnB47]

I've just listened to the BBC radio 'pips', here in the uk, signifying 4pm, yet my tabs clock shows 3.57 pm. Why is it slow, what controls it and is there a way I can get it to be more accurate?

Thanks.

Try Settings -> Date and Time -> use internet time (or similar in English)

I've just looked but under Settings/Date and Time it gives four options. Set date, Set time, Select Time zone, Use 24 hour format and Select Date format. I've looked in each of these and cannot find any option to use internet time. All are manual settings.

Mine is a GT-N8010 running 4.1.2 software.

Am I looking in the correct place?

Edit. That feature is missing from WiFi only tablets. But does it correct it and sync automatically when connect to wifi?

No it doesn't. I wouldn't mind if it did. My tab is left on standby all the time and receives automatic app updates regularly while in that state but the clock is always inaccurate. Still currently 3 minutes slow.

Seems odd to me.

Yeah this is annoying. Especially if i'm at work and i look at my tablet for the time not my PC.
