Did indeed receive the Android 2.8.5.1416 update last week.
Just tried it. Also with the 2.8.5.1416 version, the time zone settings change after connecting via wifi.
What are the NTP settings on the router?
- Advanced
- Administration
- NTP Settings
I cannot remember anyone reporting this behaviour before.

I searched forums but there was indeed little to be found about it ...
My NTP settings:
These are the settings when I have connected to the router via WiFi with the Nighthawk app and log in to the router again:
When time is resynchronized, or after reboot, it has been adjusted to wrong time zone:
Even if I use an preferred NTP server (pool.ntp.org) the same thing happens.
