Changing the date in devices with the Android operating system. Standard setting method
The question of how to change the date in Android is usually quickly resolved through the settings, but sometimes it is not possible to set the correct time the first time: the value is constantly getting lost or incorrectly displayed on the tablet or phone.
It does not matter which version of Android and with which shell is installed on the tablet or phone, you can set the date and time using one algorithm.
- Open the main Android menu. Go to "Settings".
- Go to the "Date and Time" section.
- Pay attention to the auto-tuning parameters. If the date and time is determined over the network, but you see incorrect values, connect to the Internet, deactivate the auto-tuning option by selecting “Disable”, and then enable it again.
If, after the update, the time is still displayed incorrectly, disable auto-tuning by unchecking the use of network data, and set the values \u200b\u200bmanually. The corresponding items will become available for making changes immediately after deactivating automatic configuration.
To set the date and time, open the items of the same name one by one. Move the digits up and down to change the set value and then press “Done” to save. 
The time zone is configured in the same way. You can enable its detection over the network or change it manually. You can also customize how the date and time are displayed on your tablet or phone. Time can be displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour format, and date in different order of day, month, and year.
Why does the time go astray?
Usually, the time on Android is automatically configured after installing the SIM card and turning on the device. But why does it periodically go astray on a tablet or phone when the system has enough tools to constantly check and maintain the correct value? The phone does not have a CMOS battery which is responsible for keeping the correct date and time on the computer. Therefore, there can be two reasons:
- Using auto-tuning.
- The difference between the operator's time zone and the time zone on a tablet or phone.
How to disable automatic date and time detection over the network on Android is described above. But if after carrying out these manipulations the time still gets lost, try applying the following algorithm:
- Turn off the device, remove the SIM card.
- Turn on the device, go to settings. Open the "Date and Time" section, turn off automatic time zone detection.
- Set the correct time zone, apply the changes.
- Turn off the phone, insert the SIM card.
If this failed to change anything, and the screen still displays incorrect values, try. The procedure will be the same, only after removing the SIM, you must first reset the settings, and only then manually set the time zone.
