Is there a way to set a smartphone to sync time with the network? I just gor a Q on sprint and the directions posted do not work (I assume they are for ppc).
Thanks in advance

Why not automatic time adjustment?????????

If computers are so, so, so advanced, then why can't they adjust time off of the internet or cellular networks?!?!?!?!!!!???

And if computers are so advanced why do they become DISABLED over what the time and date is, big deal about what time/date is.

If computers can't function w/o the correct time/date then that's just pathetic!!!!
