Since my s7 edge was updated to android nougat, the time zone is wrong.
I'm in Argentina with Telecom Personal operator, I've already called them but they don't seem to understand.
When my phone is restarted I get three hours ahead of my time zone (Buenos Aires is -3 GTM). If I make a call, the hour will automatically correct itself, but I don't want to be forced to call someone everyone I wanna restart my phone only to have the right time, its nonsense!

I'm fixing it by setting the time manually but it's not the ideal. I really can't believe this issue!

Any ideas?

My girlfriend's S7 edge had the same issue. Finally figured it out, hopefully this helps you. Go to settings -> date and time -> select time zone, then make sure it is set to your time zone. For some reason when hers updated the other day it changed the time zone.

Yes I did that, but does it stays the same when restarting? On automatic?
Because the issue is when you restart on automatic. For me it changes to 0 GTM all over again

Yes, after setting the time zone, setting back to auto and rebooting it stays the correct time.
