Hey guys,
MS Has released a DST Update again for some reason. not sure why the first update they releases was not enough.
but here is the link. from MS Site Download link
I have not tried it yet but will do so soon.
From Microsoft:
"This release updates time zone registry data for New Zealand and Western Australia in addition to US, Canada, and Mexico DST related issues in 2007."
Can anybody see if WM6 roms that we have already cover this or not ?

PS: this is not my site
This appears to be a new patch (so is newer than the one that was built into WM6). Appears to be due (mainly) to changes in DST for New Zealand:

Do you think we need it then for US users ?
Well, the writeup from MS says it fixes some US settings or somesuch. Probably would be a good idea for everyone to install, but no idea what it changes (yet). Maybe they fixed the issue where DST in the US shows your timezone as being one zone back (instead of your real Timezone). But then, I understood that was an issue with the way the Cell operators did things.

Does anyone know or heard if there are any plans to release a Blackberry client for the new Windows Mobile 2005 devices?
Yes, the client is being tested by various operators such as O2 and T-Mobile. If and when the operators decide that it will be or remain a viable business solution, they might release it in the next rom upgrade.
Remember however that operators might just decide to drop BB Connect in favour of Exchange push, that also shoul be available shortly.
To reassure you, I *did* see a working demo copy on a Universal type device. I also am in eager anticipation.
M$ states that the DST fix for the USA is built into WM6, as the last paragraph here states. So I thought it was odd that a client with an Exchange 2003 server with one user with a custom WM6 Hermes 8525 and another user with a brand new 8925 Tilt with latest Official AT&T WM6 ROM complained of odd calendar issues. Both had All Day appointments changing to multiday appointments starting and ending at 1:00 AM. Then I tested creating a Holy Thursday and Good Friday All Day Calendar event using my Hermes and my Exchange server, same thing. Holy Thursday on the PDA changed to Wednesday and Good Friday changed to Thursday (not good!) Of course all my servers are up to date, as are the workstations. Installed the WM6 DST and corrected the appointments on my workstation, changed the time zone from EST to another timezone and back to EST per Billy Bob Gate's instructions and now all is fine.
Curious on other folks findings concerning this...
( I posted this originally on the Hermes WM6 Forum and though it'd be better here, sorry for the cross post )\
Determined my problems due to automatically getting time zone from Cingular (which I kind of suspected) If I turn that off and manually change it to something different than my EST, save, then change back to EST all is well.
If I don't, all my All Day events are one day earlier, freaking Cingular! I remember last year with my Wizard that it would show Indiana instead of Eastern and assummed that it was fixed as it has indicated Eastern for quite a while now..
Oh well, false alarm, kinda sorta .
Hi,
I've got an O2 XDA Orbit 2 with Copilot7 installed version 7.0.6.139, yesterday i recieved an Copilot 2008 email which stated
A CoPilot Live 7 software update is now available, incorporating a number of improvements and fixes to reported issues including.
Improved performance
New and improved guidance voices; Luke, Emily, James, Emma
New demo mode (with playback controls)
The update should be downloaded automatically through CoPilot Central (you must first register and login).
Just wondered if anyone has had this update come up if so what version number.
Thanks
i applied the update and my version number is the same as yours...
Thanks for the reply, was just wondering if there was an even newer update as I updated to ths version a while ago...........anything for performance improvements
short answer: No. maybe i'll be surprised at some point in the future.
Maybe wrong place, wrong question, sorry for this. don't know where to ask this q.
from june 19, 2009. my country (Bangladesh, +6 GMT) apply DST time and increase time to 1 hour. I have found all other operating system update for this new DST changes but unable to find any for windows mobile. this is very importent cause lots of user like me use windows mobile to sync mail, calender and task.
So is there any patch release from Microsoft or any other provider? Or
is it possible to do it manually by hacking the registry?
Pls HELP.
Hi,
I live in bangladesh as well and am looking for the same patch, i doubt one exists but im sure someone can come up with a small .cab that fixes this. I think it would be better if this was moved to the hacking & development section because a DST app/hack needs to be made.
I've searched for an official microsoft update...but had no luck so far.
EDIT: this might help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387
We can fix it on Windows XP or Vista with the fix here:
http://www.dotcomunderground.com/blogs/2009/06/20/bangladesh-dst-fix-for-windows-xp-and-vista/
But any luck on Windows Mobile?
This resource might help someone willing to work on it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387/
Its a Windows XP/Vista based resource though. But might help if you know how to port it to WinMo.
EDIT: I HAVENT TRIED THIS YET!
The manual way to change your DST settings, the official Microsoft method from here.
an additional note...dont use the link in step 4...its an old 2008 DST update
try doing it using the outlook DST edit method
I apologize for not being able to post in the appropriate thread, but I am following these instructions for adding not-officially-supported languages for the Nokia Lumia 900 device that I purchased with AT&T.
I have succesfully flashed my desired languages (Finnish and Norwegian) to be included with the already included English and Spanish languages. I didn't update the core OS, and left it at 7.10.8112.7.
However, as expected, there are some "bugs". Really I have only noticed two.
Nokia Scout tells me when I open it (translated): "Scout isn't available in this land or in this region". This may be app-related and I frankly don't think I care too much about Scout since I don't know what it is.
My second problem is more bug related and problematic to me. The "nokia blue" theme does not appear in the list of themes for the windows phone. Thus, when switching to one of the two new languages, the theme gets defaulted to purple, but apps with live tiles think it should use green. Manually selecting a theme fixes the problem, but I really would like nokia blue.
Is this possbly related to outdated language files? If so, how can I download the latest language files?
Hi,
I got your email and I'll answer here so others can see too. The problem with Local Scout is that it's not available in Finland. Be sure to set only Display Language to Finnish and leave others as US. That way those apps *should* work. (Also needs US Live ID) The second problem is that accent colors are language based, so you cannot fix it. It will only work on languages that the Lumia 900 came with.

I noticed the Lumia 900 is started preorders today in Finland.
Is it possible I can flash the nordic ROM or something once someone gets it?

That might be possible, but since the European version of the Lumia 900 has different hardware so you might loose 4G and maybe 3G too.
