Time keeps shifting randomly - Touch Cruise General

On the original ROM and the udK Diamond R6 I have the same problem: the clock of my Cruise/Polaris shifts about 2 times a day from the current time to a total different time.
For instance: around 21:46, the phone switches tot 1:18. The time difference is also always different, so it doesn't look like a timezone issue. The timezone is always correct by the way.
It looks like the shifting usually occurs in the evening/night, I haven't noticed a change in time before 6pm.
I can't find what's causing this, but it's annoying, I missed a few wake up alarms this way!!
The programs I've installed (on both the original and the R6):
- Spb Traveler
- Spb Time
- Live Messenger
- Opera Browser
- TomTom 7
- Spb mobile shell (R6 only)
Does someone recognize these issues, and know how to solve it?

turn off auto update for the clock.

where can I find this?

Turn off Automatic change timezone and clock
you should go to Settings-->personal-->phone
Under phone you have Time Zone Tab, Just uncheck the "Automatic change timezone and clock" and press ok that should take care of the problem.

auto change to vibrate for meeting

Hi Guys,
Using WM6, when I have a meeting scheduled, my Imate JAMin changes to vibrate mode for the duration of the meeting.
Is there a way I can disable this functionality?
I'm running SPBDiary (dunno if its that software, or base WM6 doing it, but I can't find an option in either to stop it).
Thanks for the help!
Further to this, using the HTC Today plugin, I have the "Normal" sound profile loaded, not the "Automatic" one. I would have assumed that the "Automatic" on would automatically change, but that the "Normal" one should not?
Yes, I am experiencing the same issue with the HTC 6-Tab Today plugin. I usually have my profile set to "Normal" but after awhile it switchesw randomly to "Vibrate" and assume that I am in a meeting. 90% of the time I am in an appointment. However, when I manually click back to "Normal" it would always switch back. The other 10% of the time I am not in an appointment and it would switch on its own. When I uninstall the Today plugin, it's fine. Problem is I like the Today plugin and would like "Normal" use of the phone and NOT have automatic switching, especially when I did not select "Auto." Is there a fix or a registry hack??

[UPDATED 2008-10-09]Request for testing band switching of CommMgrPro in Raphael

Hi.
I am solving the issues of CommMgrPro with Raphael. The most important were.
1) CMP didnt change the band correctly (2G <-> Auto <-> 3G)
2) CMP didnt set correctly the speaker volume.
Any help to see if those issues are gone in this version will be wellcome with free licenses
Version V2.2(2008-09-12)
1) There are towers on each country with same cell id. So now the primary key for Cell Mode will be CellID + LAC. CMP will convert your database so make a backup before and will fill the lac information each time it finds a cell with lac equals 0
2) Compatibility with HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro (Fixed Band manager, speaker manager, GPS manager and some GUI changes).
3) New option to repair the database.
4) New page for connections option (In connections/menu/options)
5) Option to disable/enable connections on roaming
6) Option to CMP startup delayed on page Options 3.
7) Option to Show/Hide the main window after start CMP.
8) Clicking on the higher part of the battery bar opens the battery page
9) Clicking on the lower part of the battery bar opens the battery page
10) Hide button is raplaced by calendar button.
11) New Today tab. This dialog lets you see the next events that will happen in the place, including calendar events, "Always on" schedules and other events (time limits, etc)
I´m on it!
I´m curious to see how much battery economy this will bring when switching off 3G? I´ll post my findings. What do you mean by speaker volume (in call?).
thanks
Belive me, it really save your battery if you swith off 3G mode. My battery lifetime increase from 8 to 26h.

Hi Daniel,
I'm expecting my Touch Pro on Friday, I'll report as soon as I can.
Manni
So far so good on the band...
I´ve tried all day switching between 2G and 3G and it seem to work seamlessly, which comes as a huge plus for me to save on battery when 3G is not needed.
One thing I don´t get.. the HIDE button. CMP is hidden but how to unhide it without having to press the icon to launch it again.
Update: Yes it asks for the PIN but naturally it has to since it´s reestablishing a connection to the Celular provider.
Regarding band switching - it works sometimes because sometimes CM just reset himself (generate errors)
Another thing is that if I'm switching from 3g to 2g is asking me for PIN
When I'm doing it mannualy (GSM to WCMDA switching) system never ask for it.

Hi
In the options page you can set the pin code. In this way CMP will enter automatically the pin when switches the band....

Well, I usually assign a hw button to CommMgrPro. Raphael has few buttons so I assigned long press phone button to CMP. CMP installs a Today plugin and a tray icon to manupulate CMP directly from today screen or bring it to front but you cannot see them with touchflo 3d. Sorry for not saying it before, you can set pic code in options dialog so cmp will enter pin code automatically....

No, system volume. You can control ring tone and ring volume as a action associated to enter/exit in a profile/place (using cell ID)
It was short and 5min test - I'll check everything once again tomorrow and let you know.
Regards
B.
For those who want to check the 3g effect on the battery live. There is a tab on CMP that shows graphically the battery evolution in different scales of time and if you touch two points it tells you the speed, for example, 6 units per hour. Ok, let your device during some hours in 3g and check the drain speed. Do the same test using 2g. As you will see battery live lasts double (or more) using 2g...
Great Commmanager Replacement
Testing for about 15 mins now and so far no problems.
Although the ON/OFF switching for phone with the "no time limit" function is not very responsive. I had to click another icon before i could switch it on again.
Great work on the battery graphs very useful
I will report tomorrow after some intesive usage.

hehe I see to tested it deeply. Turn on phone with time limit was disabled one month ago because the people requested in this way. Anyway I will remove the time limit dialog to avoid confussion....
CommManager replacement is only a little feature. The main one is let CMP (CommMgrPro) to set the state of the device (phone, band, BT, WIFI, speaker, connections, beam, messaging, brightness, ring tone, today theme, call forward, open and close programs, etc) depending on your current location by cell id (home, work, cinema, etc) and weekday/hour. In this way the state of the device will be different on your work&monday&10:00 than on home&sunday&13:00, isnt it?
Dani
Hi
I ve uploaded a new beta (b6). It warns if you want to change the band but you didnt set the pin code on options and a few more things. If you look at the screenshots on first post you will see there is a screen dedicated to the current (different than the battery page)with two lines, one for instant current drain and other for average. In this way is easy to check the current (in mA) needed for your device under different circunstances (wifi, band, gps, etc) and the temperature of the battery (important for the people like me having problems with device not charging if running gps/tomtom in a warm day).
ps: Talking about gps and temperature, finally I bought and A/C mount system so the battery's temperature is always low and no problem charging....
Hi Daniel,
So I received my Touch Pro today, and the first program I installed was CMP
Couple of issues:
- I installed without deactivating Touch Flo 3D, so I got an error message when the program first launched (I guess it couldn't launch the today plugin).
- If I deactivate the Touch Flo 3D, the icons in the plugin are stil QVGA. Same thing if you change the icons of the location (which makes it difficult to select the right one, as they are not for the software where the seem to be on the screen, if you see what I mean)
- Same thing for the fonts on mostpages / menus. Most of them are very small (hard coded for QVGA I guess) which makes them much harder to reads than on a QVGA device. The location line, or the function icons at the bottom of the main screen, are normal size. Everything else is small (for example, "there is a newer version").
- When Touch Flo 3D is activated, there is no directaccess to CMP (lower right globe icon), but I guess that's normal.
Otherwise, everything seems to work fine. I guess most of this is VGA related rather than Touch Pro related, but here you go, I'm coming from CMP on a Tytn II...
Edit: forgot to specify that the speaker setting and the band switching seems to work fine.
Hi
Thank you very much for your comments and help. Fortunately most of those issues are related with the sizzo vga skin so can be changed modifying the file skin.xml. Modify and enhance the vga skizzo skin is one of the pending things to do. Please follow reporting anything you see
Hi Daniel,
Done a bit more testing today, and I found out that there are two connections in CMP (T-mobile PicMessage and T-Mobile Internet), while I have only one connection setup by default (T-mobile).
They are both enabled, none of them is always on, and only the PicMessage is connected.
Is this normal? I'm quite sure I had only one on my Vario III. Which one do I need to get my push email? If I want to get my exchange email as it arrives, do I need to switch one of these to always on? (by the way, my exchange server is setup properly, and it works thanks to MrVanx...).
Hi Manni
CMP shows all the connectios,even hidden connection. Probably in the connections wizard your operator set up the second connection for other pourposes like mms,wap,etc.
If you re using direct push(like me) you dont need to mark any connection as "always on" because activesync will keep the connection alive....

Thanks a lot for the clarification!
I've tested both b5 and b6 versions on orygial HTC rom.
Discovered that :
1. Cannot clear history of battery usage in CURRENT tab - on BATTERY tab this feature works fine
2. Cannot verify database integristy - error message appear
3. Switching between G2 and G3 works smooth - tested VERY intensivly for last 3-4 days.
Small hints
1. there are two graphs on main screen - on the left is graph for battery and on the right for available field. Is nice of you if you can just create the link between battery graph on main screen and CURRENT/BATTERY tab on settings. This is common problem that Touch Pro battery has very short lifetime and I'm very interested in checking which action is draining my battery more than normal - graph is perfect place for this.
5. Last suggestion for booting TP and application starting process. Everytime when I'm performing soft reset or just starting device, I'm waiting to put my PIN as fast as possible to get my TP online, but THEN CommManPro LOGO is showing and grrrrrrrrrrrrrr I'm must wait next 5sek to tap my PIN.
You know, this is not a problem if you are using your phone for private, and there is no more than 3-4 calls from you sister/girlfriend/mother/lover by day, but I'm using my TP for buisness (and testing everything in the same time) manner so time when I'm available is critical - one missed call (because of 5sek delay) and couple of bucks less in my pocket
If it possible for you to just pospone CommManPro to starting just after TF3D it's nice!

When changing time zones, prevent appointments from shifting.

So,
When I go to set my clock for a different time zone (not using the automatic setting in phone settings, that has been disabled) for a time change, it seems all my appointment times shift with the time zone change. This makes no sense to me, and has been with me since wm 6 then 6.1 and now 6.5.
Does anyone have a solution to this (which doesn't involve keeping the time zone the same in clocks and alarms)
Thanks!

Verizon Touch Pro 2 Calendar

I have had a TP2 for about two weeks and have a problem I can't find a fix for.
I travel across time zones frequently. When the TP2 clock updates to the new time zone all the times in the calendar change.
The only workaround I have found is to set the home and visiting times to EDT and disabling the clock auto updating, but this makes the time shown on home page wrong whenever it is not in my home time zone.
Does anybody know a way to fix this?
Thanks
Don't they just update to the time zone you are in and then return back to "normal" when you return to your home timezone? I'm not totally sure I understand your question with this, as this is something that I personally like
If this is what your issue is I'll fiddle with it and see if I can find a fix.
The problem I have is I when I stay in the other time zones all the calendar times are off.
Example: If I am in Denver, Mountain time zone, and I want to enter a flight next week from Seattle to Indianapolis do I add 1 hour to the Seattle departure time and subtract 1 hour from the Indianapolis arrival time, or is it the other way around? Too confusing and too many ways to mess up.
I want to put sync my Outlook calendar with the TP2 calendar. When I travel the times on Outlook do not change when the time on my laptop changes, but all the times on the TP2 change.
Thanks
I set the proper time zone when creating the calendar appointment in outlook on my laptop (I think its under options). Then I'm always on the right time. On the phone, I have to "fool it" by temporarily setting the clock to that alternate time zone before creating the new appointment, but with the world clock its pretty quick.
I don't want the times in the calendar to ever change. I want them to stay the same no matter what time zone the phone is in.
If I disable the clock updating the calendar times will not change, but now I have a phone with the displayed time wrong except when I am in my home time zone.
Does anybody use a TP2 when they travel?
There should be a way to make this calendar not change when crossing time zones.
I don't have a solution for this, but I suspect that when you change time zones, there is nothing that will keep all of the appointments from changing.
I don't know this to be a fact with 6.1, but I suspect that like in other operating systems, the dates are stored in UTC time. When they are displayed on the screen, they are adjusted, on the fly, for the proper time zone. If this is true for 6.1, then it's all or nothing.
I'm on an Exchange Server, so I can enter appointments anywhere and they sync to the phone. When I travel, I DO NOT change the TZ on my laptop and enter the calendar appointments on it, not the phone. This may not work for you, but it's a thought.

Automatically set vibration from 8am-5pm?

Hello,
I am searching for a way to automatically set vibration from 8am to 5pm (during work).
Like the sense option to automatically set to vibrate during appointment but without having to set an appointment for work everyday, it would look to confusing.
Do you have any ideas?

There's an app called Mute4 that will set your phone to vibrate for up to 3 h; maybe you could ask the developer to increase the mute time to 9 h, or have it adjustable. Otherwise, you can definitely do it with SK Schema.
I used to have a program on my old blueangel that used to allow me to change ring tones etc according to which cell tower i was in, I think it also had a time based scheduler)
Give me a couple of days and I will try to find it.
The downside was that it sucked the battery (back in the wm2003 days)
