PLEASE TURN OFF THE AUTOMATIC-AUTOMATIC DATE AND TIME "FEATURE"!

[WeeTarDad]

Before any of you mods, AI chat bots, or community members respond, yes, I do know how to disable "Automatic date and time", so please don't post instructions on how to do that.

What I'm looking for is a way to stop my stupid phone from AUTOMATICALLY (on its own accord, as in, without my input, and frankly, against my wishes) enabling "Automatic date and time" every time I have to restart my phone!

I guess I should say that I'm on an A24+ and my old Samsung didn't have this problem.

So please, once again, DO NOT post instructions on how to enable "Automatic date and time" (in case that wasn't made clear enough).

Thank you, and I love you too.

If you go in to settings....... Date and time......


Maybe some of us like the automatic date and time

Anyone have instructions on how to turn it on?

HAHAHA! You got me good! Touché!

But yes, I do know how to turn on automatic date and time:

You have to go on to your computer and delete SYSTEM 32. Then you have to boil your phone for 10 minutes.

After which, place your phone in the microwave for 3 hours.

That should work.

And you asked me how to do it 🤣

It's in settings, go to Date and time and you can turn off auto update time from there.....hope this helps 👍🏻

Voyager, I appreciate the input, but I am looking for a way to permanently disable Automatic Date and Time until I, myself, without my phone turning it on against my will, choose to enable it, because disabling Automatic Date and Time doesn't truly disable it, as my phone will Auto-Enable it against my will.

I am looking for a way to keep my phone from turning ON Automatic Date and Time anytime my phone restarts.

COME ON, SAMSUNG, IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T FIXED THE ISSUE!

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE FIX THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It is strange that the automatic date and time feature is being switched back on following a restart. It could be network related, as some network features require your device to be in time with their time, and your network provides the time and date. It could also be a bug in the software. Best thing to do would be to submit an error report with your logs attached, so our Research and Development team can analyse this behaviour in greater detail. 

To submit an error report, take a screenshot of the setting before and after a restart (brief press of the Volume Down and Side keys together to screenshot) > Long press on Samsung Members > Error reports > Write a full description of the behaviour and that this report was requested > Use the paperclip icon to upload your screenshots > Down at the bottom, select Attach System Log Data > Send > Keep the screen awake and stay on that page until the logs have compiled for sending.
