Time Change

I have a 4S with Sprint and seem to be having a problem with the time. For no reason at all it will just jump the time 5 hours ahead. All emails, phone call logs, voicemails show the time change also. Usually it will clear up with a restart, but not always. My phone is up to date, and I try to close all apps constantly. Anyone else have this issue, or ideas on how to fix this problems?

Thanks,

Tony

Go to Settings>> General>> Date & Time - if 'Set Automatically' is set to "ON" - it's likely Sprint has a piece of malfunctioning equipment feeding the cell site you're using bad time info. You can turn the auto-set to off... then set your phone manually... or, live with it... instead of fully rebooting the phone, just turn airplane mode on the off - that will have your phone 'renegotiate' with the cellular network, and hopefully get the right time.
