DST is over, but clock didn't change back? [SOLVED] - General Questions and Answers

Daylight Savings got over today but my WM6.1 phone didn't turn the clock back. Is this a bug or a feature?
Edit: Solved. Check this page for the DST hotfix.

Hi,
Check in phone/menu/options/time zones, is the "automatic change time zone and clock" box checked?
On your rom it might be somewhere else tho..

I just have Phone/Security/Services/Network under Phone>Menu>Options

there is a micosoft download (hotfix) i think for mobile devices for new dst times, google that and see if that works.

^ Awesome, thanks! I didn't know Microsoft's website had hotfixes for WinMo too!
I wonder what other updates there might be there..
Anyways, here's the page for those who might need it:

Windows keeps asking for password

My version of wm6 keeps asking me for a passord, there is not one set under "lock" and battery status is not set to lock the device,
other progs i have installed are
sky ceedit,xda sim mamager, xda bluetooth manager, gpsdash,wm5 storage, wm5 new menu, resco explorer,real one player,psxpshut,.net cf,lvm secondclock,htc power managment, phonealarm,gps gate,ht custom, magicall,kaspersky AV, wmp today
anyideas please i must be missing a setting somewhere
i have the same problem and still have no answer!!
yeah, mine too.
Instead of starting a new thread, ask this question in the existing ROM thread.
This is not specific to any rom tho. it sonething to do with the s/ware installed if posting saying "Me too", "same problem" why not list what s/ware is installed so we can maybe decide what is causing the problem, if everybody has got the same program installed we would know
Has Anybody found whats causing this yet?
It's not a bug - it's a WM6 feature for enhanced security. If you don't like it tough - perhaps it will change.
So Must i set a password. because i have no password set and the only way to get around it is to soft reset the device.
Surly there is a reg tweek to turn off this "security" seting.
because it not even at a set interval it is on a random time.
I take it theres still no fix for this!!! Sorry to keep posting but running a very stable "XDA Mobile6" wm6 rom i can't be doing with having to keep s/reseting my device
offtopic:
@Garymeg: I saw you had GPSDash running on WM6. Which version is that? Did you install the .net CF? If yes, which version??
My WM6 setup keeps crashing/freezing/softresetting whenever I install GPSDash2 or the .NET CF, but it was the most used app on my S100 before...
thanks for any thoughts on this. Sorry, no idea on your lock issue...

Can´t update my weather data anymore?

Hey... Two days ago my weather update stopped working? - I´m normally using WLAN, but have also tryid GPRS. I have tryid to remove the city and choose it again and so on. I have soft-reset my unit a couple of times also??
I´m using the normal weather plugin who came with my Touch Cruise and it has been workin great (uptil now)
Any ideas??
(I have offcourse seached the forum before askin, but could find anything helpful)
/ MicTh
yeah same for me but little different; i CAN update the weather data with HTC Home Weather Screen, but when i try to update the weather while im in SPB Mobile Shell 2, then it does not work.
It does not update with Wifi, 3G, HSDPA or even with Active Sync and broadband connection.
Any solutions?
Well, I had a different problem, but maybe it will help you gentlemen. I wanted to be able to add local cities to the list in the HTC Home weather app. But the "included" verision doesn't seem to allow such edits. In fact, I couldn't even replace the file I needed to edit with the "device" version loaded. So I went to "Remove Programs" and removed HTC Home. I then downloaded and installed another version suggested by another forum member...

When I first installed it, I didn't get the letters down the right size of my contacts to quickly go between last names. But within a day or a soft reset, they seemed to come back and everything works great. Now I have my home city, work city, parents city, both sisters cities, and a few more I threw in for fun.
Short of an iPhone like app where we could setup cities and then just flip pages between them, it works awesome. And maybe this app will work better for you. Good luck!!!

That sites seems to be down and I'm having the same problem with weather updates. Any chance you have a copy and could upload somewhere for all of us...?
Thanks,
Rick
Doh!! I found it, and yes, the weather is now updating.
Glad you got it fixed. I'm having the "outage" type problem here myself. Once I've looked online so I know what to wear today, maybe a soft-reset is all it needed.
And I definately want to add a few more cities, because the one I've chosen for today isn't in my current list.
Thanx
Thanx for suggestions
Before i installed another update i wantet to try one more time, and now it´s working again?? - maybe the server was down or something..
Best regards Michael

My Opera has gone QVGA? Help please!

I'm using the stock ROM on T-Mobile UK. For some reason Opera has now started double-pixeling like PIE does with images when zoomed in on the page (ie when u double-tap the screen). It's making all my images look blocky and web pages all naff looking. Even the form items (radio buttons and checkboxes etc) are all QVGA-ed.
Please help!
LLOYDY
OK, I've even just upgraded to the latest version using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643
And it's still pixel doubling. any ideas?
LLOYDY
Screenshot?
What's the best (and lightest) screencap app to use do u think?
LLOYDY
SpbScreenshot
Thanks.
Here are some pics of what I mean:
1. Usual PIE double-pixelling (tho my old universal had a VGA compatible PIE so why doesn't the TP?!)
2. Google page all squarified
3. Zoomed in on a form element (radio button all pixelated)
4. BBC News after a zoomed in double-tap - images are all pixelated and not clear as they used to be!)
Hope this helps. This is drivin' me nutz. Is there a registry setting somewhere to tell Opera to display VGA images?
Thanks for all help in advance.
LLOYDY
Okay. Maybe it's something in it's settings. Do the following:
1. Find the Opera thread in the Dev & Hacking section and download latest cab.
2. Uninstall Opera. If that isn't possible, download the upgrade version from the thread.
Now do one of the following:
1)If you uninstalled, soft reset and install Opera
2)Soft reset and respond back with ss and results
OR
1)Upgrade if you can't uninstall
2)Soft reset and respond back with ss and results
Cheers for the ideas but I've already tried them. I just upgraded to build 2392 (from the link in my second post) which is running fine. However, it did not fix this issue.
Any other ideas?

Ah. I'm sorry for not reading. What apps do you have installed that could potentially affect the orientation or settings of any app installed on your phone?
Thee only setting I've really changed recently is the "GPRS auto attach" setting in Adv Config to enabled. Other than that I can't think of anything else. In the past I have installed the G-sensor app but uninstalled it as I had no use for it. But it's been working fine since then.
Perhaps Windows Live Search was the last app I installed whr I cannot be sure if it affected opera or not. U think maybe try uninstalling it?
LLOYDY
OK. Uninstalled it, reset, and nothing. Opera is still QVGA. WTF is going on?!
I could revert back to a backup but Id like to solve this problem incase it happens again. Anyone kno of any settings to tweak and where they are (there must be more than the useless standard ones)?
LLOYDY
OK - just hard reset and it seems Opera was like this from the very start. It just pixel doubles anyway when zoomed in. Bit rubbish really...
LLOYDY
I was actually thinking that lol. But you said you never had that problem before so I didn't think too much about it. I just think you zoomed in too much.

Weather update down..?

Has anyone been able to update there weather today? Seems to be down.
try this mate :
;Weather Server Override
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Weather.ServerURLOverride"="http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"
Will this work if I have the weather data base program on? Had to use this cause my city is not in the original. I know the weather database updater uses a different site to update the weather. Dont know how this will affect it or not.
Mine seems to be working okay
It came back up... Was down for me most of the night.
yup it was down but now its back, thank god, cuz its suppose to snow in NYC but i wanted to know when exactly

[Q] Touch Flow 3d Weather on Today Page won't update to correct city

Can somebody please tell me how to get the Today Page Weather to update? When I moved to different cities it used to update the weather for the city I was in. Now it is stuck on St Louis. It is set to update every 15 minutes. It doesn't seem to be getting location information.
Have a tilt2 with ROM version 2.10.502.4
OS version 5.2.21887
Manila version 2.5.20133329.2
Thank you for your help!
Just as additional information, The Touch Flow 3d Weather page updates correctly and has a little GPS sign by the correct local city, but that city doesn't transfer to the Today page.
I also forgot to mention that this is happening on the Today Page with HTC Sense selected as the today page.
I'm hoping one of you geniouses out there will know what is wrong here. Please!
Thanks again.
