Is that expected?

No, for sure.

@keneda anything i can do?

[Keneda]

@hugehead
Did you try to set clock manually as a workaround ?
I'm afraid that's the only idea i'll have to submit, i'm far from being a coder.

@hugehead it would seem your clock battery is dead, and your clock looses charge when the device is not powered. In other words, it seems like a hardware issue.

@arubislander
I though about that but clock battery is usefull only when you remove the device battery, like on a PC motherboard when unplugged from wall power, no ?

[arubislander]

@keneda As I understand it, the clock battery comes into play whenever the device is not switched on.

Maybe it's different from PC / game station on smartphone then.

I am pretty sure it is!

But what bugs me is that his phone should always sync the time via his carrier/provider even without Data Enabled because that's what phones do for many years now as far as I know ?!

Well, in this one case the phone acts exactly like a desktop computer...

Phones don't have room for a CMOS battery, and a quick look on OnePlus forums came up with a known time reset issue on the One model, is it a new issue since UB? does it happen if the phone is connected to a power source while it is restarting?

Hadn't thought about that, but that makes a lot of sense. Yet another area where phones differ from laptop/desktops.
