Android Question

Guest
Hi - I have a clock and Sense clock widget variation by 4 hours! I live in the UK.

It happened when I upgraded to Android 5.1 on my Lenovo P70 yesterday.

The timezone, if selected "automatically" gets the android time correct but the Sense Clock widget puts me 4 hours ahead. Oops.

I have Auto time zone set and it seems to think I am in Dubai!! (actually the phone came originally from Dubai but not sure if this is relevant. The clock and widget have been fine until yesterday.

If I unselect Auto Time zone and change Dubai to London then although it lets me select London, when I exit that screen it reverts back to Dubai!
It seems like the time zone is hard coded and can't be changed.

If I got back to the start and manually enter the time - the sense widget is correct but the phone thinks it's 4 hours later!

New news: I just discovered the google calendar app is using the wrong time too - all appointments showing 4 hours later than they should. Wish I had not "upgraded" now ;-)

Any suggestions?
thanks
Mike
