Available Options and What They Do:

  • Set time automatically:
    • When enabled, your phone sets the date and time using your network provider.
    • When disabled, you’ll need to manually set the time.
    • 🔍 Disabling this can be useful if your phone displays the wrong time, but make sure to update it manually or risk inaccurate clocks.
  • Set time zone automatically:
    • Uses your network to automatically detect and set your time zone.
    • 🔍 Turning this off allows manual selection, which is helpful in regions where automatic detection is unreliable.
  • Use location:
    • This option helps the phone determine your time zone more accurately by using your GPS location.
    • 🔍 Disabling it may cause delays or errors in updating time zones when you travel.
  • Time format:
    • Tap to choose between 12-hour, 24-hour, or Auto (based on region settings).
    • 🔍 Auto adapts to local norms, while 24-hour format is preferred for clarity in professional settings.
  • Second clock:
    • Allows you to display the time for a second region.
    • Tap it to set a Region and Time zone for the second clock.
    • 🔍 Useful for people who regularly coordinate across different time zones, like remote workers or international travelers.

Keeping your HyperOS phone’s date and time settings correctly configured ensures your apps, alarms, and services function smoothly—especially when traveling or switching time zones. Adjust these options as needed for better control and convenience.
