We believe the user is actually a few minutes off from the exact pinpoint of 
the Karachi city, so this is expected.

We had a look at Islamic finder with the given coordinates and we came very 
close (note that the user is using Hanafi Asr calculation method):

http://www.islamicfinder.org/prayerDetail.php?latitude=25.2889&longitude=69.2432
&timezone=5&pmethod=3&fajrTwilight1=10&ishaTwilight=10&fajrTwilight2=10&ishaInte
rval=30&HanfiShafi=2&dhuhrInterval=1&maghribInterval=1&id=62985&daylight=0&praye
rCustomize=1&city=karachi&state=05&state_name=Sindh&zipcode=&country=pakistan&da
y=14&month=03&year=2014&athan=&aversion=&lang=

Thus this is not an issue, the user should rather just adjust the timings 
manually by pressing-and-holding on one of the events and choosing "Edit" from 
the menu.

Note that by default, this is the prayer times for Karachi, and this uses 
Latitude: 24.8667   Longitude: 67.0500 with a standard (not hanafi) Asr 
calculation method, so this would explain the discrepancy in case the schedule 
the user was basing it on was using these GPS coordinates instead:
