Please read:
Thank you for using ClockSync! Stay tuned for more updates.
1.2.6
- support for Android 6 Marshmallow (if you get incorrect time after sync, remove 'date' applet from BusyBox)
- fixed old icon for some resolutions
1.2.5
- an option to ignore setCurrentTimeMillis system call result for compatibility with some devices (please check FAQ
for details)
- new high resolution icon
1.2.4
- 1.2.4.1: quick fix for not using custom NTP server from settings, pool.ntp.org was always used
- History and Stats dialog now also shows the exact date/time of last synchronization attempt
- average drift calculation will not count synchronizations performed in less than 20 minutes interval for better
accuracy
- improved average drift calculation algorithm, it's recommended that you reset the stats to get the best results
- added more diagnostics for problems with setting time (failed chmod and setCurrentTimeMillis() are recognized and
reported)
- Yahoo PlaceFinder works again (switched to YQL API)
- theme and dialog fixes for Android 4.0+
- ACCESS_SUPERUSER permission added for compatibility with the new Superuser/SuperSU versions
- redesigned FAQ so that answer is collapsed until you tap on the question
- added FAQ entry about network problems (can't get NTP offset error)
- more reliable communication with the ClockSync TimeZone DB add-on
- fixed NTP details display when custom port was used for the server
- GeoNames works again (via ClockSync predefined account, an option to specify your own account may appear later)
1.2.3
-
AskGeo demanded to stop using their service. I've added Yahoo! PlaceFinder instead, but it doesn't provide zone
offset. In case you were using offset from the web service, you need to verify that your system time zone has the
same offset or enable "Use database offset" option, otherwise you may get incorrect time. I'm very sorry for this
change, but I can't pay $2000 for their library and host it on my servers (check http://bit.ly/clocksync-plus for
details)
1.2.2
- fix for encoding bug in Russian translation
1.2.1
- AskGeo.com service is asking me to reduce traffic or they will block ClockSync, please consider switching to
GeoNames.org if you are using time zone from geo location detection feature
- possibility to use offset from offline database when using time zone detection
- cache time zone provider results for 12 hours (can be disabled or tuned in settings)
- zone cache is reset when longitude/latitude changes significantly
- menu didn't work on hdpi HC devices
- 30 seconds timeout option
1.2.0
- fixed disabling beep assist
- documentation views didn't work on Android versions less than 2.0
- FAQ didn't display on ICS (4.0+) devices
1.1.9
- fixed language change in the app when system language changes
1.1.8
- translation updates
- code cleanup and minor bugfixes
1.1.7
-
changed the way how time zone override works: instead of setting time zone in GMT[+|-]hh[[:]mm] format that only
Java can understand, now time zone is set to Etc/GMT[+|-][h] to be compatible with all native and Java apps that
use
android.text.format.Time to work with time. For time zones with nonzero minutes that can't be
mapped to POSIX Etc zone some apps will continue to display time incorrectly, it's recommended that you don't use
ClockSync to override such zones if you need maximum compatibility
1.1.6
- ClockSync Google+ page: http://bit.ly/clocksync-plus
- support for offline time zone database (installed from Market, based on the latest Olson tz database)
- automatic switching between daylight saving time and standard time when using tz database
- provider offset option now changes system time zone to GMT+provider offset instead of internal time adjustment
- override system time zone option now sets time zone to GMT+specified offset instead of GMT+00:00 and internal
time adjustment
- fixed last synchronization time didn't persist in rootless mode
1.1.5
- rootless mode rewritten, uses new transparent overlay updated every second (requires new permission)
- precise sync in rootless mode for devices that reset seconds on set (most Samsung phones and tablets)
- Greenwich Time Signal to assist in manual sync if device resets seconds
- separate notification offset thresholds for root and rootless modes
- separate settings group for rootless mode
- fixed time zone display in NTP Details dialog for devices with updated zoneinfo
- fixed potential stack overflow when changing NTP server
1.1.4
- AskGeo.com is added as a new geo location to time zone service, GeoNames.org can be enabled back in Settings
- option to use provider time zone offset (for AskGeo only at the moment)
- option to override system time zone with UTC and use custom offset in hours
- shortcut to install/run TimeZone Fixer app (updates system time zone files)
- option to keep screen always on when ClockSync is open
- NTP server port can be specified in the server string after colon: pool.ntp.org:123, useful for custom ports if
the default one is blocked by your ISP
- new notification icon for Gingerbread and later (by Jocelyn Mallon)
- fixed black background didn't persist on Honeycomb
- better themes management for phones and tablets
- fixed statistics update threshold (20min) not working with negative offset values
- fixed fade removed from offset even if update failed
1.1.3
- smart automatic sync: no sync when network disabled, sync with interval when network available, also sync if
missed because of disabled network as soon as connection becomes available
- time zone detection fixed (geonames API usage limit was exceeded)
- detect time zone updates and display changes instantly
- cosmetic changes to themes and dialogs to look better on Honeycomb tablets (still work in progress)
1.1.2
- No root? Enjoy clock off time notification with configurable threshold
- No root? Set time manually with the help of ClockSync to achieve best possible accuracy (see FAQ)
- time zone adjustment option will work without root (even if it's not possible to set time)
- History & Stats dialog quick access by long tap on date/last sync value
- stats threshold is set to 20 minutes, if offset is greater, stats will not update
- About and FAQ are now separated to standalone views
- Restore permission option had no effect when enabled
1.1.1
- High precision option for perfect automatic synchronization (see FAQ)
- long tapping on offset/system time performs manual high precision update/synchronization (takes ~5s)
- Strict interval option for more predictable sync when using longer intervals (see FAQ)
- higher time display precision, atomic/system clocks update independently
- statistics: total corrected time, average drift per day, sync count
- moving to SD disabled as it will break automatic synchronization
- modified Market features so that Location/GPS is not required
- use 12 instead of 00 for noon/midnight 12-hour clock
