Lately I'm noticing the displayed time being sooner later than what seems correct -- and it seems to get worse over time.
Installed ClockSync (root required) and am hoping for an improvement.
Has anyone else had similar problems?

Not me. I think my phone synchs it's time with a reference supplied via the phone network. Under Settings - Date & Time, there's an option 'Automatic' which I have ticked.

My watch syncs by radio and is always correct :up:. My phones sync with their networks and are always correct :up:. My W7 computer syncs daily with the windows internet timeserver and is 8 minutes fast (& this doesn't change even if I do a manual update or change the timeserver :down: :down: :down:).
Tuxman:
I recently found TinyShark, free Grooveshark for Android. You don't even need a Grooveshark account. Very, very great. :-*
