My friend and I purchased the same phone A73 5G from different store. We are both experiencing the same problem. The date&time is resetting if we switch off or drained the battery of the phone. Anyone else having the same problem?
That's weird. Even if you drain the battery it should have stored power to run the clock in the background (if I'm not mistaken) - is your date and time set to automatic detection?
Yup. Normally it should be like that but with our phone, even with 100% battery it will still reset the date&time if we switch it off. It will auto update eventually after detection of network. But in areas with no network signal, we need to change it every time.
Sorry to hear that about your and your friend's experience with your Samsung Galaxy A73 5G having issues with clock date & time keep resetting every time it was switched off or having battery drained. With that, we apologize for the inconvenience it caused both of you.

If you’re having trouble connecting to a network or if you simply prefer setting the time yourself, you can change the date and time manually. When you select a time zone that uses Daylight Savings (such as EST, PST, etc.), your device will automatically change the time on the appropriate date, so you don't have to worry.
Navigate to and openSettings. TapGeneral management, and then tapDate and time. Make sure theswitchesnext to Automatic date and time and Automatic time zone are turned off. When the automatic setting is disabled, options for manually changing the time will appear.
You can change the following settings:
Select time zone:Choose the appropriate region and time zone based on your location. Even though it’s set to manual, your phone will still automatically change during Daylight Savings Times, based on the zone you picked.
Set date:Select a date from the calendar, and then tapDone.
Set time:Change the time by swiping or typing, and then tapDone.

my phone was purchased with android 12 pre-installed. I already noticed the problem after few days of using the phone. I already tried to reset but still the same. I tried to update to android 13, still the same. Tried to reset, still the same. Tried to update all apps, still the same. And then tried to reset, but still the problem remains up to now. The date&time still reset even with auto update feature is ON or OFF.
