Clock auto-sync
by Garr Patronas 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Lately, my phone clock resets to the CURRENT time, even after a MANUAL change - say 15minutes ahead. Anyone else experiencing this? Before the "china-phone-lockdown", the clock retained the manually set time - ahead or behind, and never changed. After the china-phone-lockdown, the clock syncs every so often - I've found it happens after about 3 minutes AFTER a MANUAL setting. NO, my phone does NOT have an AUTO-SYNC feature (yes, it's THAT old, the manufacturer doesn't even exist anymore). Those who know much, much more, is this a feature that can be implemented by the network - OTA maybe?

That a good business idea you can sell it to the schools very impressive. All school are to be fitted with fire extegushers that can also be added. ---------- David Nyamboki Technical Consultant. 0726570919. ------Original message------ From: Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu(a)gmail.com> To: "Skunkworks forum" <skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke> Date: Monday, October 15, 2012 9:30:27 AM GMT+0300 Subject: [Skunkworks] <OT>smoke detectors Good people, Can someone in the know tell me why it is *impossible* for the Ministry of education to mandate all dormitories to have smoke detectors? My reasoning is that it will take just one incident for my sibling in school to die from smoke/fire, just one, and they are gone forever. Plus these damn detectors aint that expensive, $45<http://www.consumersearch.com/smoke-detectors>for one which uses both photoeletric and ionization technology. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks(a)lists.my.co.ke ------------ List info, subscribe/unsubscribe http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
