Do I also need to fix the date separately?

Both settings live in the same Date & time menu and share the network sync toggle, so disabling Use network-provided time lets you edit date and time together without one resetting the other.

Will disabling network time also affect my time zone?

No, the time zone is controlled by a separate option in the same Date & time menu, so you can keep automatic time zone detection on while setting the clock manually.

What happens if I turn network time back on later?

MIUI immediately resyncs the clock with your carrier or Wi-Fi source again, so any manual value you entered gets replaced the next time the toggle is active.

Can a wrong manual time cause app or notification problems?

Yes, apps relying on accurate timestamps, like messaging, banking, or calendar apps, can show incorrect delivery times or scheduling errors if the clock is off, so re-enable Use network-provided time once the correct time is confirmed.

Xiaomi: Set the Time Manually

If the clock on your Xiaomi phone keeps jumping back to the wrong hour right after you edit it, the Use network-provided time toggle is still active in the background. Xiaomi phones pull the time straight from your mobile network or Wi-Fi connection, so any manual change gets overwritten within seconds. That sync option has to be switched off first before a custom time will actually stick.

Set the Time Manually auf Xiaomi

On Xiaomi phones running MIUI, the clock is normally pulled straight from the mobile network or the connected Wi-Fi, the same way the date gets synced. If that source reports the wrong offset, or you are in an area with unreliable signal, the displayed time drifts and any manual edit gets reverted almost immediately.

To fix this, switch off the automatic sync option before you enter your own time.

Menu path

Settings ➔ Additional settings ➔ Date & time ➔ disable Use network-provided time ➔ Time ➔ set the time and tap OK.

Once network time is disabled, MIUI stops overwriting your input and the clock stays exactly where you set it until you flip the toggle back on. This helps when traveling through a different time zone for a short period, testing time-dependent app behavior, or when your carrier delivers an incorrect timestamp.

If the date is also wrong, adjust it in the same Date & time menu, since both fields depend on the same network toggle. Turning the toggle back on hands control back to the network and restores automatic corrections.

The Use network-provided time toggle is still switched on, so MIUI keeps pulling the current time from your mobile network or Wi-Fi and overwrites any manual entry within seconds.
