SNTP Client

SNTP Client is a Simple Network Time Protocol client which polls internet time servers to get the most up to date time. Internet time servers use a variety of sources for setting their clocks, such as atomic clocks, GPS, and other internet time servers. SNTP Client implements the NTP protocol as defined by RFC 1305.

NOTE: If your offset is 15 seconds, your phone is set to GPS time. GPS time began on January 6th, 1980 at midnight UTC. Unlike UTC, GPS does not insert leap-seconds. There have been 15 leap-seconds since GPS time began, so UTC now lags GPS time by 15 seconds.
