Device setup · network time

Keep your device on automatic network time.

Phones and tablets normally use a protected network-provided time source. Desktop operating systems may also let you choose the WW.CX public server directly.

WW.CX public time server
ntp.ww.cx
NTP · UDP 123NTS-KE · TCP 4460IPv4

Custom-server configuration is available on supported computers, but not through the normal settings on most stock mobile devices.

iPhone · Pixel · Android

Enable automatic time and time-zone detection.

Stock iOS and Android settings do not normally expose a supported field for a custom NTP hostname. The reliable choice is the operating system’s automatic network-time setting.

  1. Connect to the Internet.
  2. Open Settings → General → Date & Time.
  3. Turn on Set Automatically.

Custom NTP on mobile

Stock iPhone, Pixel, and most Android interfaces do not normally let users enter ntp.ww.cx as the system source. Clock apps may compare time but generally cannot replace the protected system clock. Managed or custom systems require administrator- or vendor-specific procedures.
