Found a flaky NTP server. Swapping it out.

Thank you Jannie.

Please let us know once done so we can test?

Nice one. Thanks Jannie

Nips should get a finder's fee

 

[Ockie]

My personal thanks to Nips. Without this thread I would never have figured out what the hell was going on with GPS.

What I wonder is if anyone else tried to report it to VC customer care and was brushed off/call not escalated?

I noticed the time thing last week but was like "year well reporting it a helpdesk would be pointless"...

 

[PhireSide]

Network time still wrong over here (PE is a bit behind so I will forgive it that) but I manually set it and got quite close to what time.is is reporting

Phone and internet match now...

Phone and internet match now...

Let me test

 

[Ockie]

Nope...not for me. Soon i switch to automatic in my phones settings it does this. 3 minutes fast again

 

[Nips]

Admittedly I never tried Vodacom support on this one.Didn't want the frustration of them trying to talk me through time settings on android.

 

[Nips]

Mine still 3 mins fast, but I guess it may take some time for network devices to request ntp update s

My wife's Vodacom p8 lite is running 3 minutes behind ntp time. This is a bigger problem I think.

Automatic time is still out by 2 minutes for me

Agreed, adding reps

Same here

 

[supersunbird]

Mine is out again.

 

[Ockie]

Mine is out again.

Jannie .... what is taking so long? Jy gaan maak dat Chris laat ry!

:crylaugh:

 

[sicelo.m]

incidentally, mine, even though network time is enabled, suddenly does not get any time update. not even the 2 or 3 minute problem most are struggling with :erm:

 

[JohnDoe]

Still out. 3rd day now!
