Selected auto update for time and date on my Samsung sgh-x427. Time still
gets off.

Is this something that cingular does not provide?

Not sure if it is phone or network specific, but my Motorola V220
seems to keep accurate time, except for when day light savings
time occurred. I had to cycle power on it to make the time
change. (I know, I probably could have done it manually, but
want things automated.)

Sounds like you did exactly what you needed to do - the phone only
auto-syncs it's clock during system registration - or so I've been told.

I can confirm that Cingular does provide the feature. I have a v551 and
recently travelled to a different time zone and back. Phone changed time
in both directions. I did turn it off on the plane though, so I don't know
if that's what did it or if some phones just don't "talk" to Cingular very
well. Have you tried cycling the power?

I don't think the Samsung X427 has that feature. I know the X426 does not.

Either the network in your are isn't configured to provide time updates,
or the time is set wrong on the network in your area.
