How do I fix my Sailfish OS time setting?
Hey there,
For the entire time I have been running Sailfish OS, I've had a problem with the time/date setting. When I go into Settings > System Settings > Time and Date and set the time or the date, after confirming the date or time I set, the date or time goes back to the previous (And wrong) time/date. For example, the date that is always shown is April 25, 2015, but when I set it to November 27, 2015 and confirm the change, the date goes back to April 25, 2015. If I enable automatic time configuration, the wrong time zone, wrong time, and wrong date are selected, and I can't change them. This is a problem for me, because I can't sign into my Jolla account on my phone due to SSL problems as a result of the wrong time being set, which means no apps and no updates. If anyone can help, please answer. Thanks so much!
Update: When I execute the command
timedatectl status
This is the output:

Just a guess-work: maybe the clock of your mobile operator is disturbed?
