Am I alone in that my Orbit 2 didnt update to British Summer Time (GMT +1) but yet my Orbit did. Have I set something wrong
Any idea's
Thanks
Just checked mine and it's showing 21:19, so it seems to have gone back an hour rather than forwards.
I noticed this as well, but after a reset (soft boot) it did update correctly.
Just for the record mine worked fine. I woke up on Sunday to a little message box telling me it had changed the time automatically.
using bepes german (premium) 0.66 rom too, but it didnt change by default...
that was what i expected it to be, but it didnt adjust automatically... does it sync via gsm or gprs? maybe i didnt start a gprs-connection before i adjusted it manually!?
well, hopefully im not the only one... but as there is the option to switch automatically through time zone (settings - timezone), i guess it can adjust the clock using a gsm-signal from provider!?
on the other hand im more than satisfied with bepes roms, so i dont care about adjusting the clock manually. and sooner or later its autumn again...
At least Im not the only one then! lol If only smart phones were actually smart
Another question is why then after it didnt update did it not adjust the clock after I connected the phone to the computer by USB over active sync??
Man I love Windows Mobile
Not only did mine not update for DST, my alarms and schedules now run an hour later too, resco backup used to back my device up to the sd card at 2:30 am, this now happens at 3:30, and my alarm goes off an hour later.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? The times show up the same. But the schedule seems to have slipped by +1hr.

Now we've put our clocks ahead in the UK (who forgot?) I see that my computer did this for me automatically. Why can't my xda iis do this?
Plus now all the times on my worldmate are wrong. My mate is Oz is only 7 hours ahead but worldmate says 8. There must be a BST setting that I've missed??
My IIi done it for me automatically :twisted:
Hmm mine didn't, at least not at the 2am cutover...
my jam done mine automatically you sure you guys havent got it set to US in the calendar options and language settings?
My Qtek 9090 did !
My XDA2I did, and so did my XDA2. Possibly as a rresult of the last firmware upgrade. I don't remember it happening before.
My Qtek 9090 did correct the time automatically and issued a textbox informing me about it.
BUT: Now all items in my calendar are shifted one hour!!! I can't believe such a stupid bug!
I checked and confirmed that my time settings are on the same time zone, both laptop and Qtek 9090. Even doing a new sync did not solve this and at the end I had to correct the reoccuring events manually!
This is really a lame bug. Has this happend to anyone else, or have I done something really stupid?
Cheers,
vma
No such problem for me allthough I do recall it happening on my XDA2. Can't think of any settings that would effect it (other than maybe Clock which I have set as GMT London.)
Clock GMT / BST
XDA 1 ... adjusted to BST time ...clock changes BACK (by itself or maybe on sync?). If the GMT setting is changed, changes ALL calendar appointments! ... but changing the GMT setting back again resets all appointments.
Crap but I've come to expect that.
Anyone know how to fix the time to prevent reverting to GMT?
Cheers
John

Do you have your phone set to update in your time zone? It is one of the following registry keys to make the actual page appear under phone settings if you don't already have it:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"ShowTimeZonesPage"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"NITZEnable"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"ShowNITZPage"=dword:1
Someone else can tell you which one of those it is (I think it is only one of those keys, for instance, I think all I did was change "ShowTimeZonePage" to 1. Someone with a larger brain than me can correct me though.
You can also user advanced config to configure this.

Do you have it set in Phone?
Menu -> Options -> Time Zones ?
Everytime (since we sprung forward) I sync my phone, my phone clock goes ahead and hour and I need to manually change it back.
Ideas?

Active sync has an option to sync the hour with the one on your pc. Check the pc time to see if it differs. Being an option you can disable it.

Thanks but, unselecting sync time/date stops it from changing the time, but it doesn't solve the issue.
Both my phone and my PC are set to the same time and the same time zone. I suspect it is a DST issue, but am not sure how to fix it...
any outcome?
i have the same problem with my softbank x01ht but in the opposite direction.
i have to change the time one hour forward after i have done an activesync.
that is, time on my pc is 8.00 and the time on my softbank is 7.00
how do we solve this ?
Have you applied this Daylight savings time update.
Update for Windows Mobile (KB949168)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...92-3142-4473-B435-B514E4B360A5&displaylang=en
This fixed it for me, I'm in Melbourne.
it worked !
good to see another fellow melbourne user on the site.
thanks for that. it worked !
Good find!
Thanks mate!
Thanks, it fixed my XDA II with WM 6.1 too. Also in Melbourne.
Cheers!

I tried to install the above CAB file to my XDA II but it gives me a message
"WMDST2008-1.CAB is not a valid Windows CE Setup file"
Any suggestions?
What about Brisbane, QLD, Aus
Hi there,
I installed the update, but I am still having the problem. It seems to be applying daylight saving time to Brisbane. Any ideas?
I've bee having this problem as well since installing Window Mobile 6.1 (RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship). I'v tried KB949168 as well but with no luck.
Is there a set of timezone files/registry entries/table somewhere I can manually edit ?
OK, it looks like you need to add the following registry entry to handle Brisbane
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Timezones\260, TZI,
0x00000001,a8,fd,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,c4,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
After I did this I reapplied the timezone (changed to sydney then back to brisbane) and reset the time. Seems to all be good now.
Spoke too soon. Half an hour later and it reverted back to daylight savings time
How to stop autosync update of TP clock?
Hi all,
Great resource here. well done
I have been lurking around here for a few weeks and used many of the tweaks/edits which I thank you all for making available. Many hours of tweaking fun to be had..
My issue is small but increasingly annoying, when I sync my HTC Touch Pro to winxp netbook (eeepc901) somehow it adjusts the clock on the TP forward only one hour. (was like this out of the box before anything else I did to it)
I can change the time back after it has synchronised initially and then re-sync from the desktop and it wont replicate it again.
However, when i change the time back and unplug/un cradle then reconnect/sync again it will adjust +1 hrs again.
It doesn't do this on a straight USB data connection.
So I am thinking sync program issue right?
My eeepc and TP both have the same time zones set to Brisbane +10 and my bios is showing the same time. I have disabled the winXP time autoupdate service thinking that might have something to do with it in services.msc to no avail. On the TP I have tried both the settings for timezone update etc.
i have had a poke around in both active sync 4.5 and any TP settings/programs that I can think of with no effect. This has been the only real issue I have had so far, other than that after a few days getting use to this device I am very happy with it
Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks
Bump!
patiently waiting
Are there settings in either active sync or on the pc or the phone where i can manage the clock update?
I noticed on the phone sync settings i have to uncheck "advanced radio button" to make it detectable on the deksktop.
yeah, it is something annoying with brisbane timezone. there are a few threads here with it. if you search trhough my post, you may find an answer

Ah that be the state gov' not allowing DST right..they say it will make the curtains fade and the cows come in too early for milking, aye but! lol j/k
It seems to only happen on the netbook (xphome sp3) on Sydlney, Tokyo, or even NY time zones, I tried +8 +9 +11 etc zones instead of +10.
I did notice on technet (I think) there was a bunch of timezone updates for windows for some countries recently but no mention of anything for Aus EST at all.. However, on the desktop pc (vista) i cant replicate the issue at all.
Anyway, i will search your posts and thanks so much for the reply, was getting a bit lonely here for a while
Okay, searched and read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436366
I looked around for a thread that had a compiled list of descovered glitches and stuff for the TP2 and didn't find one, so here we go. If you notice any issues with your TP2 post em, and maybe we can offer solutions, or at least get an idea if it is a specific device issue, or perhaps something wrong with the ROM, etc.
As mentioned in another thread, I have noticed a sms messaging glitch, where if you are in conversation mode and you recieve multiple texts before exiting, you have to exit and enter the conversation 1 time for each text recieved.
Also, I have noticed on multiple occations that the sometimes when my TP2 goes to sleep mode, it will not wake up unless I take out the battery. Those are the two main things.
I have a friend with a Touch Pro, and I also had one before I got the TP2, and I have noticed that both of these issues are on both devices. The touch pro only experianced them after the ROM update HTC released for it.
BTW, I have Sprint CDMA service. I don't know if Verizon users are experiancing the same issues.
I have considering flashing a custom rom to fix these issues if they are ROM specific, but idk if they are.
So, any other issues that anyone wants to share?
To tell the truth, I am not sure what is wrong. It may be a batch issue (a group of phones that all have the same problem). I have the Sprint TP2 and don't have the freezing issue.
I have noticed the issue with the text messages, but I believe that it has something to do with the new integrated Texting tab in the TF3D Contact/Address Book. There is a program on this Forum Called "Safe Inbox Extender" ( at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265 ). If you download it and install it, it enables the "Mark all as Read" function in the Text Messages. Has been a God send.
As far as the other issue, I would suggest that, after a back up of important things of course, that you do a hard reset. See if that fixes the problem. Also, If you have a bunch of 3rd party apps, you might want to install them one at a time, with a little time in between, and see if they are causing the problem. I've fallen into the runt of I know what programs I like and have them stored on my storage card. Just because all my phones have been WinMo, doesn't mean they will all be compatible.
Just some thoughts.
I'll try that program, thanks. As far as the sleep issue, idk if a hard reset would work or not. I accidentally reset it a few days ago when I tried to restore my data profile because my internet wasn't working and it went to the prgramming menu instead and wiped the whole phone. So I guess I'll wait and see if it does the sleep mode thing again. If not then I guess the hard reset did work.
I don't know if Verizon users are experiencing the same issues.

I can confirm that Verizon TP2 has same issues...Back it up and Hard Reset! Fixed the problem on my girlfriends and my buddys TP2...Neither issues have occurred since.
I''ve noticed when my phone is on sleep mode for more than 15-20 minutes it won't turn on immediately if i try to use the slider. i usually have to open and close the slider to get the screen to turn on. I've tried a soft reset but that hasn't fixed the problem. I've also had a few programs crash on me already. Any suggestions? Thanks
im on uscellular havent had any of those problems.the main issue i got with the tp2.is the memory usage i do soft reset its between 46-56 pct used. do nething on it like internet or play a game it sits around 80 pct used till i use cleanram or soft reset again.if any1 knows a way to lower the usage plz post it. ty
I have a us cellular tp2 and the only problems i am experiencing is that yeah the memory isnt the greatest but mostly the clock, i set the time zone for us central time and at least 2 to 3 times a day the clock will reset itself to eastern us time its a real pain in the a**. not sure how to fix it as of yet, any other uscc customers having this same problem?

Hey! I had this problem too, but I figured out how to fix it.. Here's what I had to do..
I had to set my time to a local city [Click on World Clock ----> Add City ----> Local timezone city ---> Set My Location, and change your time to the proper one, then set your clock as the other city you made just a minute ago. While the new city is selected, delete it from the list [Menu ---> remove cities] and select your personal location again.
This timme, click on menu ----> Local time settings, and make sure that it says your timezone [Default on USCC for some reason is Central Timezone - Their headquarters]
I have a TP2 from US cellular. It has winmo 6.5 on it. It keeps show i have 1 txt msg. But i don't have any. I installed this cab but i don't see the mark all as read function anywhere.
yeah i also have the tp2 with us cellular and live in central time, but it always goes to eastern time. i called the tech team for uscc and they said that they have never heard of that issue before, but they said that they submitted a ticket for a fix so hopefully they do soon cause its very annoying
my tp2 doesn't have the sleep or time or txt problem, but it does soft RESET itself randomly for no apparent reason, happens 1-3 times a day, reallly annoying......
Hello,
I am having strange issues with Motorola ES400 with WM 6.5.3. Sometimes the internal alarm clock starts an hour earlier. Then, when I go to the alarm settings and re-activate the current alarm, it starts again at the correct time. The system is in English, the timezone is GMT+1, Sync to current timezone is selected, regional settings is to Czech.
I tried to set time zone to GMT+0 but after sync with PC it changes back to GMT+1, which is logical, but this shall not be the reason, I guess.
Any suggestions or experience?
i am also having this issue .please help
today it happeden again and I thing it has some relation to the fact that the phone was on the charger during the night. I'm gonna test this.
Hi Guys
I have this issue too, I work for a Moto reseller but even we haven't had much response. I wil definitely share what I get here though as I have some calls logged in now.
Please also get back to the thread with anything you find. This is really frustarting.
Can I ask what SIM cards you're both using and which country you're in?
