It may do fine, but that doesn't mean that the designer of the clock programmed it that way. As there are location services in the system, and network time (notice: telephone network, not internet) is not always accurate, if I were the programmer I would also ask the system for the current location. > So, um, er ... can't the clock get the time and time zone from the > so-called "network-provided" time and time zone? Yes, so what? That it can does not mean it does. As I said, if I were programming for Android I would use anything I have available that I like. I know that I'm not breaking any privacy, so do it. Telephone network time is known to be problematic, anyway. -- Cheers, Carlos.
