Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the report. Start by tracing the Android sync path that emits the shown ticksDelta and determine whether the differing values are expected Android clock behavior or a Kronos defect; done means a reproducible diagnosis and a clearly documented fix or explanation.

Description

Hey, I started using Kronos a few days ago. May I have few questions regarding time sync/drifting on android?

The time seems to be complately unstable, almost each sync process ends with different diff

2020-05-01 01:49:16.804 6818-6928/Application$onCr: [kronos][sync] success sync ticksDelta[-118] responseTimeMs[222]
2020-05-01 01:50:16.934 6818-6928/Application$onCr: [kronos][sync] success sync ticksDelta[-151] responseTimeMs[129]
2020-05-01 01:50:16.994 6818-6928/Application$onCr: [kronos][sync] success sync ticksDelta[-128] responseTimeMs[56]

The calls are a minute apart from each other but the responses say that the device clock drifted 20milliseconds

Is it standard behavior of Android or am I doing something wrong?
