    time display not changing

    hello! q is my first "smartphone" and I'm still trying to figure it out. I travel alot for my work and every phone I have had automatically resets the time to whatever time zone i'm in when I turn it on after landing. The Q doesn't I have to go into the settings to change the time zone, Is this a glitch in my phone or is that the Q does not do the change automatically???

    You are correct, the Q does not auto-update the time like just about any other phone. I have yet to find a solution but I have honestly not looked very hard. I guess I could call Sprint Support, lol. Welcome to the Q party!

    You mean for the Daylight Savings Update right? Or is there a patch to make the phone get the current time from the nearest cell tower like any other phone? Thanks,

    It is what it is...

    I'm on the road in a different time zone every week, and noticed this as well. Remember that everytime you swap time zones, you swap calendar appointment settings, etc. That would seem to me to be the basic explanation behind not auto-updating like, say, my old Sanyo 2100.

    I decided to just continue to wear my watch.
