Note 8 TIme wrong after Android 9 update

I updated to Android 9 yesterday and ever since the time has been wrong. It has been displaying in GMT instead of the correct timezone for my GPS location. It is temporarily fixed if I toggle the automatic tome zone option, but returns to GMT shortly thereafter. This has been a huge pain because all of my calls/emails/etc are receiving timestamps that make no sense. Any help or acknowledgement of the problem would be appreciated.

Yes, same problem.  Very annoying.  Sometimes if I restart it fixes itself, sometimes it does not.  Very annoying.  I hope they figure this one out soon.

pfautley, I know how important it is for your device to display the correct time. Have you restarted your device since this started? Have you heard similar situations happening with this phone model? Are you toggling the Automatic Date and Time on or off?   EricaG_VZW

It's worrying to see that the incorrect time appears on your device after the latest software update, and we will be glad to assist you especially because you're only able to momentarily fix this problem when you restart your device. Please tell us, is your device set for Automatic Date and Time? If the answer is yes, please disable this option for a few seconds and enable it once again. Also, the following link will guide you through the process of manually adjusting the time on your device. http://spr.ly/6607EdKUW

I had my time settings set to Automatic Date and time. I restarted my phone and have seen the same results.

I appreciate your time and patience as I know how inconvenient it is to have to re-enter all of the information we store on our phones these days. I know that it is best to avoid having to set things back up but the next step to take would be a Reset of All Settings as found via https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-214295/

The time issue with Pie has been reported to Google by several android users, hopefully they will find a swift resolution:

Do you know that this will solve the problem? Im not going to go through a major hassle again unless this is likely to solve the problem.
