TAI Clock and Converter

Not UTC but Andoid clock (often different) As most Android phones like HTC EVO 4G, 3D, Motorola Photon and the like have a device clock that's 15 seconds fast (Android bug 5485), what the application shows is your device time as "UTC", when it's often GPS. Note that Samsung Android phones do not have the issue, as the firmware compensates for the bug.

UTC Time

Truly UTC and works with Android 2.3 1) As of July 2011 most ntp applications did not work under Android 2.3 2) Lots of time applications like Sideral Clock or TAI Clock present wrongly UTC when actually displaying Android system time that's GPS-disciplined in most phones (Android bug 5485). Since most Android phones are 15 seconds fast as a result, this application is a must.

Sidereal Clock

Issue with UTC I am using an HTC EVO 3D and it appears that Sidereal so-called UTC Coord Universal is actually derived from my Android system clock, that is 15 seconds fast, due to Android bug 5485. Basically no Android application should claim UTC discipline unless fetching UTC from a reliable source, such as an NTP server, equating the delay as well.

SNTP Client

Still requires root when so much malware has Android root access! Also dvc clock stalled in Gingerbread on evo 4G (gps-based, still). No ntp fetch.
