How do I set the date and time on the phone?

[pinerokc]

I've been trying it using sudo. Seems to set the date and time for the session, but then even if I use

Code:

hwclock --systohc

it just reverts to putting me somewhere up in Kamchatka on a Kazakhstan timezone. Or something.

After I manually set the time from a terminal command line:
sudo date '2020-03-03 20:17'

I changed the time zone to mine by replacing the symlink for /etc/localtime to change it from
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam to my time zone, EST:
sudo rm /etc/localtime
sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST /etc/localtime

That survived a reboot.
