ODK Date and Time Question Types

Hi,

I have a date and a time question. When these questions are first encountered on the tablet, the date that is set is the date shown on the tablet and the time that is set is the time shown on the tablet. However, for one of my tablets, the date and time that these questions are set to are very different than what is showing up on the tablet.

For instance, if I were to access these questions today the date question should automatically be set to 5/18/2017 and the time should be set to 12:27 because that is what it says on my tablet. But for some reason, the date and time is coming up as 4/25/2017 and 3:25 in ODK. Do you know if this is caused by the ODK Collect app or is it because of the tablet?

Thank you,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Very interesting. It's unlikely this is a Collect bug, but just to be sure...

  1. What versions of ODK Collect, Android OS, and device (make/model)
    are you using on both tablets?
  2. On the "bad" tablet, does the Android menu date/time match the
    date/time in the Clock app?
  3. What about if you use this Giant Clock app:

  4. Does this behavior stay the same if you reboot the "bad" tablet?
