Android phone didn't update time

Hi

I have an phone running Android 2.1 I set my alarm for 7am at 2330 last night and it told me that it would go off in 8.5hours giving me the impression that the time would update.

Alarm went off, clock says 6am, sky says 6am, laptop says 6am but phone says 7am.

Tried to update it but had to untick the box for automatic use network provided values, when I ticked it again it went back to the wrong time. Just switched phone off and back on and the time is now correct.

Any reason for this?

    what phone is it? Just saying Android doesn't help much... Switching off and on again would force a refreshed connection to your provider's network and pick up the correct time from them. As a side note, my Galaxy S2 (on 2.3.5) updated by itself just fine.

    not really relevant to the thread though, is it?
    I mean I could say my PC and car updated
    neither run android
    Unless you are hoping to go down the fanboy route in which case you are simply making a fool of yourself,
    and should really be getting on with your homework.
