Set the time and date on Android

Usually, your android's date and time are set automatically. If that doesn't work, you can change the time and date manually.

To change your android's date and time:

1. First open the Settings app via the homescreen. Alternatively, from Android 4.X, swipe down from the top of the menu bar. Then tap the small gear in the top right to open the settings.
2. Scroll down to the "Date and time" entry. As of Android 4.X, first tap on the "Options" tab and then on "Date and time".
3. In order to be able to set the date and time manually, first remove the checkmark behind "Obtain date and time automatically".
4. Now you can select the desired date under "Set date" and the appropriate time under "Set time". Confirm the changes with "OK".

A Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 was used for this practical tip. We show you here how you can change the font size and font on Android.
