Automatic time on Nexus 5X says it's 2017 already, one day ahead This morning I woke up to my phone, a Nexus 5X, telling me that it was already 2017, by saying the date was 1 January 2017. The time was/is still correct to the second, but it is only one day ahead.

My girlfriend had the same issue on her Nexus 5 this morning. Is there more people with the same problem? Can this be fixed or should it be reported?

EDIT: The problem was automatically resolved when I tried a day later
I was just reading this article:

http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/set-your-android-atomic-time-for-perfectly-synced-clock-0170500/

It suggests your phone is using the NITZ service to sync time, which relies on good carrier service.

The article says that if this service is bad, it might take your phone out of properly synced time.

You can try installing the suggested app.

Without root, you won't be able to sync automatically, but you can sync manually every week or so.
