Time auto update does not work

Selected auto update for time and date on my Samsung sgh-x427. Time still
gets off.

Is this something that cingular does not provide?

Sounds like you did exactly what you needed to do - the phone only
auto-syncs it's clock during system registration - or so I've been told.

I can confirm that Cingular does provide the feature. I have a v551 and
recently travelled to a different time zone and back. Phone changed time
in both directions. I did turn it off on the plane though, so I don't know
if that's what did it or if some phones just don't "talk" to Cingular very
well. Have you tried cycling the power?

I don't think the Samsung X427 has that feature. I know the X426 does not.

Either the network in your are isn't configured to provide time updates,
or the time is set wrong on the network in your area.
