10.0.0811 WWE
ROM Date 8/11/06
Hi- Need some guidance here as my WM6 Wizard isn't cooperating with the new daylight savings time. I've been sync'ing with my work PC which has the necessary MS patches for both the OS and Exchange. All calendar meeting meetings, etc. are fine in desktop Outlook edition; however, when I sync with my WM6 device the meetings between now and April 11 (ONLY ON THE PDA) seem to be off one hour and the time is behind (by one hour-again only on the PDA). I was under the impression that WM6 didn't require any MS daylight mobile patches, etc. and that this wouldn't be a problem. What I have tried:
1) Applied the MS mobile patch but WM6 won't install it (it's not meant for WM6 but I thought I would try anyways)
2) deleting partnerships/re-establishing partnerships - no effect
3) removing Active 5.2 completely and reinstalled. Also creating new partnership- still no go.
4) Tried multiple times to sync directly with Exchange and/or Windows PC but no difference
5) Manually setting the time on the WM6 to current but after syncing it reverts to one hour behind
6) extensive searching but no help to be found. All web articles are related to WM5 and below.
So I come to this group as I have no other options to pursue. The last drastic step is a hard reset which I don't feel like doing but will if required.

Never mind. Changing the zone from Pacific to Mountain back to Pacific + manually resetting the time seems to have resolved the issue. It will probably break again on 4/11
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:
http://bink.nu/news/daylight-saving-pain-on-way-says-microsoft-new-zealand.aspx
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.
As many others I've had the error message 86000107 during ActiveSync synchronization. In my case the cause was the multiple change of ringtones on the PPC using 'VIP PIM Ringtone' (used version, see signature). Think, the cause was not using the tool but having changed >100 contacts at once.
Solution in ActiveSync on PC:
Uncheck 'contacts' in synchronization options. Take care: This will delete your contacts on PPC and your individual assignments of ringtones to contacts, too!
Confirm Deletion.
Synchronize without having 'contacts' checked. Now everything could work fine.
Check the option 'contacts' again.
Synchronize having 'contacts' checked.
Now try assigning individual ringtones again. But check synchronization after each assignment. Perhaps you find out more (ringtone not proper? ...).
llok like it is Active sync 4.5 with Wm6.1 device
Look look like if many changes happend between two sync then Active sync 4.5 with wm6.1 produce error.

Sorry to double post the same thing but
I don’t think its to do with the amount of data changed to be synced ,I have desk top cradle at home and in the office and I stand the phone in the cradles to charge and even if I have not changed any data the issue still happens ??
But if I un check JUST THE CONTACTS let the device sync it is ok if I then check contacts its ok again ,that is until it see the other pc this happen when no data has been changed on pc1 pc1 or ppc
Actually, it is the amount of information, but it isn't just ringtones. If you have more than 100 of anything, it will cause this error. 100 contacts, 100 appointments, 100 tasks, 100 notes, anything. Since I have far more than 100 (1300 contacts, 397 appointments in the next 2 weeks), I get the error every time I switch from one computer to another. There is a solution, but nobody is as yet releasing it. Microsoft has acknowledged it is a WM 6.1 problem, and they have supposedly released a patch, AKU 1.2. But either it has not actually been released, or all the providers are currently evaluating it and won't admit it.
I wrote HTC earlier today inquiring about the AKU 1.2 patch, and got the response that my provider would have to release it for them to provide it on their site. My provider is US Cellular. I called tec support, the original rep had no idea what I was talking about, but he transferred me to the tec support specifically for smartphones, and talked with a rep. She also didn't know about the problem, but searched their knowledge base. She first tried to give me the "solution" many have tried (removing the relationship, etc.), then she found the AKU 1.2 patch I had told her was the real solution, and acknowledged this was the real answer. Unfortunately, she says that Microsoft has not yet released the patch. My complaint was noted, but she said there was nothing to do until Microsoft released the patch. My response was that they needed to call Microsoft and complain, just I was doing with US Cellular.
I suggest that everyone needs to start calling your provider and asking when the patch will be made available. We need to light some fires. If I'm the only unhappy customer, that's too bad. If they start getting lots of unhappy customers, perhaps they will become a little more motivated. I seem to have been the first unhappy person to have called US Cellular.
To cut down the time you have to stay on hold, if you are a US Cellular customer, here's the direct # for the tec center that deals with smartphones: 888-996-5499
BTW, one suggestion the rep had was to reinstall WM6.1. "It won't hurt anything". I installed 6.1 it at the beginning of the week, and just got everything the way I liked it, including installing TouchFlo 2D. Even with backing stuff up, this isn't the solution I'm looking for. Has anyone else tried this? Does anyone want to? Can anyone see a reason why installing it a second time would make it work, when Microsoft has acknowledged they have a problem?
... i faced the same problem... founding finally the best solution - promissed.
Just use Pocket Mirror Prof. for Calendar, Tasks and Contacts. Notes u can still use with AS.
It will sync 100% without probs, much faster and seeing what is left.
(contacts about 4500, 3500 calendar entries in 30 min.)
Cheers

So your solution is to buy a $50 program, instead of MS fixing their problem? This sounds like the spam another thread warning noobs was talking about.
MS have fixed the problem in later AKU releases - it's down to the vendor to implement the fix on within their ROM's...
The HTC Diamond has been fixed, the Pro will be fixed, the HD will not have the problem, etc. etc.
Grey handsets are the Dual, Cruise, TyTN 2 and x7510 - this all use AKU1.2 so shall be affected the the '107' problem.
If your handset is branded, you will need to petition them in order for the fix to be released.

First of all, I agree on that "MS needs to to fix that".
By the way, I talked to MS and I talked to SE, both linked to each others.
In differrent forums, the topic is hot without any proofen tested "YES it works".
For this reason, I open to pay an amount for a working solution.... and meanwhile, where other people are trying to fix and to fix and to fix.... I go riding my snowboard, knowing everything works
How is that....
error message
The '100' contacts error message cropped up on my touch pro today - Im back in xda land after my mini-s died when water entered my jacket pocket on my motorbike! The xda finally came back to life....but its backlight didnt.... ah well. I played with a google G1 for three weeks before crawling back to winmo...fancy that. Android is so much easier to use than windows mobile...shame about the hardware.... but soon..... soon...
Anyway im just about to reinstall the 690 contacts on my pro - Im only posting because I happen to notice I have 90 entries in my calendar! ooo close one!
Time goes by without a working solution.
Any help yet?
Hi everyone,
I am new to forum, hopefully I am doing everything right. I searched the forum and didn't find the anyone adressing this issue already.
I bought a new HTC HD2, currently I live in Germany and calendar synchronisation is functioning perfectly with my Winodows 7 System. As the GMT Times are the same on my HTC HD2 and Windows 7.
Problem: Originally I am from Georgia (Country) and live in capital Tbilisi, I went on Christmas holidays at home, and once I synchronised the data, it messed everything up. I reserached a bit and found out what is wrong.
Here goes: Tbilisi Time Zone is set on windows Mobile 6.5 at GMT +3 and on Windows 7 GMT +4. Microsoft has updated the right timezone of Windows 7, but forgot to update Windows Mobile. (Note: There are no daylight saving changes in Georgia, Tbilisi has the same time whole Year, so these updates are not a issue) Is there any update available to change the +3 to +4 because its really frustrating not to be able to use one of the most important features of pocket PC.
Thanks in Advance,
Best regards,
Chris
Hi and welcome to the forums!
It's good that you searched before posting and that you posted in the correct section. Many beginners can learn from you!
I don't know if I understand you right but are you trying to get your phone time to GMT 4+?
If so, you can do that pretty easily.
Go to the settings tab of manila, press menu and go to all settings.
On the system tab, go to 'Clocks & alarms' . There you can change the GMT.
Hope this helps, just say it if you meant something else.

Hi ElCondor,
Thanks for the feedback, however, that is not what I meant. I already tried that, the problem is that If I need to change the Timezone to +4 I can't choose my home town "Tbilisi", I have to change it to let's say Baku, Azerbaijan.
That would be Okay even for a perfectionist type of person like I am, but Azerbaijan is following the DST changes and in march it will switch back to +5 whereas Tbilisi will remain on +4, which will once again mess up my calendar because on my Laptop of Windows 7 Tbilisi will remain on +4.
Georgia is not involved in the DST system, we have the same time 365 days a Year, that's why I can't use instead of Tbilisi some other city which has +4 cause they all are follwoging DST.
To be more clear I am looking for a patch of any type of update which will change my HTC HD2 GMT exclusively for Tbilisi from +3 to +4.
Thanks once again!
Best Regards,
Chris
Hmm that's a hard one... I've done a quick search but couldn't find anything.
I think you'll have to live with it and changing the time back then, which results in a messed up calendar.
I'm afraid I can't help you, and I don't think there's anyone on the forum who can.
Regards,
EC
(I posted on PPC Geeks as well, no one has been able to solve it there yet.)
I made a few tasks w/reminders, and on the notification pop-ups, the one with no due date said:
"Started: 01/01/4501
Due: 01/01/4501"
and the one due today said:
"Starts: 01/01/4501
Due: 01/26/2010"
The tasks themselves are working fine, however these odd dates have me worried, I hope it's not a fudging in my registry or something? Also, I do have the Sprint 2016 bug fix installed, and I am on stock Sprint TP2. Really appreciate any help!
