+1 for this. Annoying.

I use Clocksync.  A rooted phone can be automatically kept up to date. A
non-rooted phone requires manual intervention but the clocksync app
makes this pretty straightforward, however it can only keep you to
within 30 seconds of correct (as you can only set to the minute).

My Android clock runs fast to the tune of about a minute per week, so
I'm regularly using Clocksync to sort things out.  It's imperfect but
workable.

Mark.
