I now have two android phones, a Tracfone Samsung Galaxy Centura and a Verizon prepaid Moto G, and I like both phones, but they both have the same problem: the clock will sometimes be 5 hours off from my local time.
I can go into the settings of each phone and get back to the right time with a few seconds of effort, but aside from that minor inconvenience, it makes both of them unreliable as alarm clocks.
If the time can shift back and forth 5 hours for some unknown reason, I cannot rely on either one to wake me up in the morning on time. So, unfortunately, I still have to use an old fashioned clock that I plug into the wall outlet to wake me up in the morning at the right time.
There are seemingly an endless number of alarm clock apps on Google Play, but so far out of all the ones I have tried, they all rely on my cell phone to figure out the exact time. If my cell phone is off by 5 hours, so are these apps. They're no better than the factory installed alarm clock feature of my cell phone.
Does anyone know of an app for androids that will actually NOT rely on my cell phone to tell time? One that can either be set manually by me and then tell time that way, or one that can get time information from an atomic clock independently of my cell phone?
If no such thing exists, I sure hope someone will write a program like that. If I knew how to write one, I sure would.
