- Thanks for your feedback, SudoGhost. My contribution was essentially to alert users or potential users of the device clock issue, yet it seems to me that including a link to verify UTC or publicize the section of Android source code that's causing the issue for the sake of Wikipedia verifiability might not be necessary. If you think so, I'll put a link to NIST widget and then will also see if Oracle can publicize that portion of code in their docket against Google, so that no one thinks I made up the source code. I am sure they'll be delighted as they suffered so much from a leap-second bug causing Oracle Real Application Clusters to crash on January 1 2009. Thanks --User:Cquarksnow
Actually I added the Android bug number 5485 that I also forwarded to the Open Handset Alliance on 10 November 2010, as I did not see any progress. At this point it's no longer in Google Android bug repository. So many times I have gone to Wikipedia when other public repositories don't have the information anymore. If I were Jimmy Wales that's how I would motivate contributors ; I am retired but contribute more to Wikimedia Foundation than archive.org despite knowing that Wikipedia occasionally removes politically-oriented content under pressure from ephemeral government agents. Anything legitimate will eventually come back with proper credentialing.
The link Android bug 5485 is still valid as of 08 February 2021 yet developers have not explained what happened and how it could be that that section of code was initially reviewed and approved to go live.
