so just swiched to wm6 and the driver for the time change does not work so everytime i change the time and reconnect to my computer it changes a hr back.
Same thing was happening to me, so I changed my region setting on the phone to Indiana (eastern) instead of Eastern and its now working fine.

try to chg. both zones to Your time.
both zones as in visiting and home or both zone as in home and the zone on the pc? The pc and Wizard both had Eastern when this problem started.

at some point I had the same problem, so I just disabled the option to syncronize the time and date with the PC (you can do this in the ActiveSync settings). and yes, having both times (home time zone and visiting time zone) set the same helps too. I remember my PDA not being able to keep the time after a soft-reset with home time zone different from visiting time zone, but I think that was in a WM5 AKU 3.3 ROM

After searching for hours trying to get this damn thing to update automatically, i decided to look into using SKSchema to emulate key presses. The problem I have is that my device is locked and powered off when not in use so I have emulated turning the phone on, unlocking the screen, holding down the stylus on the spb weather today pluging, clicking refresh all then re locking the phone after it has updated. The good news is it works although a very long winded way of going about it. I have it set to do these tasks at 5am so i dont notice it. If anyone is interested in the SKSchema scripts i can let you know.

or you can just change it in the settings...

It doesnt work as it doesn't auto connect to the Internet. I have never been able to get it to work.
Interesting idea… though surely it would be easier to use skschema to establish a data connection just before spb weather is due to auto-update?
Only question I have is, if you choose "every day", how do you set the time when it's supposed to update?

That was my first thought but could never get it to work as I never knew when it was updating. The data connection would go live perfectly with SKSchema but I would never know the time to do it. The other thing is I use bandswitch which closes idle connections after 60 seconds so if the update was late starting, the connection would have been terminated by that time.
Although a very long winded way of doing it, my method works flawlesly and i have updated weather every morning for when i wake up
Everytime I connect my baby to my pc, it makes my time and date on my phone all out of whack. It'll be 08h43 when I connect it and then all of a sudden the time is changed to like 14h43.
How do I solve this little annoyance?
Thanks
check the settings on active sync software and settings on the phone. it may be using your PC as a time server and doing a sync. also, remove the automatic time zone settings from your 'baby'
Change your GMT in your phone. For me it's GMT+1 Paris, Madrid (I live in holland )
You can find these settings in menu>settings>clock & alarm>date and time>Time zone.
Then it should sync correctly with your location
Good luck!
Thanks guys. Let me give it a shot and see what happens.
My GMT was set and my PC clock is set to the right time but let me check my sync settings.
My poor baby....she cries everytime I connect her because she doesn't know who she is.
Very sad.
I tried all the stuff and it didn't work.
My wittle heart is sore.
Is there a way to syncronise the time on my HTC HD7. I notice it regularly loses a couple of minutes each day.

In Settings, Date & Time, make sure you've got "Set Automatically" switched on.
This should keep your phone's clock in sync with Internet Time servers.
If it doesn't work, then there's either a bug, or the time servers can't be contacted for some reason.
But AFAIK there is no other way to sync the time.
Thanks for the response. It is already set that way. perhaps an app will appear in due course.

I very much doubt it! For a start, as I understand it, apps can read the system time on the phone but they do not have the privilege to change it.
I may be wrong on that, but then you've got the fact that WP7 already does time synchronization, even if it doesn't seem to be working for you at the moment.
Looks like I shall just have to correct it manually periodically.
Still like the phone and wp 7 even with a few foibles.
Maybe a Microsoft update can fix it.. does Microsoft even know that their clock is faulty and needs manually fixing?
I don't have such a switch in date and time...
there is just a switch to make the time show 12 or 24 hour...
a selection field for time zone, selection field for time, selection field for date
No automatic update switch.
I have a HTC mozart, and I also noticed a slight delay (if I don't connect to the computer, but if I connect to computer then it seems OK...). BTW shouldn't work this automatic update also through Wlan?!?
For some reason my time is off by 3-5 minutes when I have Automatic date&time set to use network-provided time.
Where does it get the time from and is it possible to change it?

Assuming you are on WiFi it gets the time from your router (the DHCP server).
Should be able to go to your router's admin program or webpage and change it there.

google probably has a ntp server that it uses by default since it doesnt connect to a cell network...
i have mine on auto but i do not have this same problem... seems to display the correct time regardless of what network i am connected to...
Hello everybody,
since I am not allowed to post in the official thread for ARHD until i have at least 10 post, i will do it here.
I flashed ARHD 6.51 a while ago and noticed, that my clock is couple of minutes late. So I decided to sync it with the internet. Nothing happened. I rebooted my device and the clock was showing the correct time - at least for a while. After a few hours, the clock was late again. So I set it to the right time manually. I guess you know what happens next... its late again.
So i superwiped my phone and flashed the latest version of ARHD v. 6.6.2.
At first the clock showed the correct time, but after a few hours it was late AGAIN!
I booted into the recovery and noticed that the time in the recovery was correct. I reseted my phone to factory defaults and still no change.
Does anyone of you know how to fix this?
Greetings,
elyts
Happened to me once while I was on college..
I turned of automatic clock sync and set it manually... When I got home (after 7-8 hours), I turned it on again and it was showing correct time.. Dunno what happened but now its ok for me... It was on older version of ARHD... 6.x.x
try downloading ClockSync from Google Play Store, that syncs your clock really accurately using the internet and you can get it to sync automatically bit of a botch but might do it

Wow damn. If I could use all of today's thanks on this one post, I would. I had already accepted that my time would lose sync every couple of days, but ClockSync seems to be doing the trick after unchecking the HTC time sync. Thanks!

No problem could you do me a massive favour and vote for me in this competition I'm in? See my signature! Thanks
I already downloaded ClockSync. But that is only a way to bypass this problem and not to solve it. I want to know why the clock is always late. Espacially when WiFi is on. This is a 400 € phone. It should at least be able to show me the correct time.

Hi,
I have the feeling that it is not the phone's fault, hear me out. Your phone does not keep the time, it reads it from your phone provider or wifi if it is connected. My guess is that your phone is reading the wrong time from some of those sources.
And by the way before continuing I would go to Greenwich and check the correct time!

I bookmarked a similar page to check the correct time. So you think my phone doesn't have an internal clock server or something that provides the time if its set manually? I have to correct my last statement. The time is late only when WiFi is enabled.

Of course, the phone has an internal clock, but it rather not use it, while there is internet connection. So setting up your time manually will only work until the phone syncs with the sources from your service provider/internet.
If you want to keep your own "manual" time my guess is you would have to disable a few sync options on your phone, one of them being Settings/Date&time/Automatic date&time.

Automatic date&time is disabled... Everything i know is that if WiFi is enabled the clock will be late after a few hours. I disabled every possible option that could have something to do with wrong sync or something. And the lower my battery gets, the faster my clock gets slow.. Could it have something to do with WiFi and or battery?
Anybody there?
