May be a # 1 contender for the dumbest question of all time, but I can't find how to set the date and time. All the options are grayout except for 24-hour format or select date format. The option to sync with the cdma network time and automatic time zone are pre-selected but the time zone is wrong. Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance

Seams like the question isn't that dumb after all. 116 views and no one reply, I just call sprint customer service and they can do anything either. They told me to bring the phone to the store.
The only way I can get those options to enable is being in airplane mode. Though, once you turn the radios back on they tick themselves and you're back to square one.

@KitsunePaws thanks, I don't know why the network sync isn't working but at least this was a help.

A few weeks ago, I installed WM6.1 on my Tilt, using vL26_3.53.502.0_WM6.1_PRO_V1 (not sure who created it).
My issue is that now, even though I have set it to display dates in US format, it is still showing them in UK format.
Also, I cannot seem to get it to display 12 hour time, instead of 24 hour time.
Anyone know if there is a fix for this?
Thanks,
Steve

In the future, please ask in the appropriate thread. This is not a ROM development issue, it's an issue with a specfic ROM.
For starters try looking in
HKLM\nls\overrides
in the regsitry.

Searching a bit will help next time, but:
Check under >Settings >System >Regional Settings> and make sure the region is right, and then under Time you should have Time style look like h:mm:ss. If you have HH, that will skrew it up.
Check under >Settings >System >Clock and Alarms> and make sure your home settings are correct too.
Check them both, make sure they're right, and then soft reset, pushing the power button until it asks if you want to turn the phone off.
You need to go into regional settings to make the change in both date and time. Remember for the time to scroll up to find the time ending in tt. Do a soft reset after changing the settings.
BTW - this has been address a bunch of times already.
In my house I have really bad reception. Some apps sometimes try to use my data connection to download updates. The problem is, if I don't have any reception at that time, a window pops up telling me it cannot connect.
How can I turn that off? I went through settings and notifications and couldn't find anything. I went through Schapp's Advanced Config and couldn't find it either. There must be a way to disable notification that the phone couldn't connect for data... so how do I do it?
deactivate data connection in comm manager. I use phonealarm which does it every night and have no more "cannot connect"-messages anymore.
Thanks for the reply... but that's not exactly what I'm looking to do.
I work from home so I'm home most of the day. I use my phone quite a bit to for certain tasks. I need the phone to be able to try and connect whenever it wants... I just don't want to be notified if it can not connect.

I haven't found a way to do this. However, I've written a program to handle those popups while using TomTom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458342), but there's no reason why you couldn't have something like that running all the time. It wouldn't stop the popups, but it would auto-close them for you within a short period of time.
Do you want me to write that for you?
Cheers,
Steve.
Thanks for the reply Steve and for offering to create an app for me.
But I don't think it would really solve my biggest issue... which is having the popup show every few minutes while I'm actually using the phone. It's faster for me to just click on the dismiss button.
So it doesn't look like there's a way to disable this "feature." You'd think there'd be a registry value to edit or something.
But thank you again for offering to help.

Yes, you would have thought there would be an option for this. A program to auto close the dialog could make it so that it literally just flicks up, and then disappears, but I agree it's not terribly satisfactory.
Cheers,

What you need is to turn off Auto Connecting, but you have to do manual using some registry edit software:
Change DWORD Value from "1" to "0" in:
HKCU\Software\HTC\ConnectionSetup\EnableAUTODetect

There's no ConnectionSetup under the HTC folder.
Not sure if the title is right but i was wondering is there any type of software or tweaks or even settings that will disconnect the internet over a certain period of time or in activity on it? I only use the internet on the phone to check facebook and to update the weather. I sometimes browse the internet when im on a train etc... but thats not very often.
I have a 500meg limit per month and im scared for example it updates the weather and i forget to turn the internet off manually over a certain period of time say a few days etc... i will go over my limit.
There's a spot in Advanced Config that does this; but it's not on the main page - I believe you have to go into something like options-advanced options.
I've got mine set to 2 minutes inactive.

ok i assume you mean this "Menu" > "More settings" > "Connections" then change the "Disconnect after: xx Minutes"
Does this mean if there is no activity it will disconnect or does it mean it will disconnect after xx minutes no matter what your doing browsing etc...
it will shut off connection after certain period of inactivity

All my calanders are out by an hour due to the UK time zone being incorrect in the Samsung settings (see screen grabs).
You would think picking the next best time zone "Azoras GMT +0.00" would solve the problem but that just pushes my time back an hour, needing a manuel setting to correct , a temp solution me thinks until the clocks change.
The strange thing is that as you can see from the Samsung "S Planner calander " app screenshot Samsung has a "(GMT+0.00) Etc/GMT" time zone option in that app settings so why not in the default "date & time" tablet settings?
I've searched Google but it seems I'm alone on this issue. Any thoughts appreciated & I hoping it not another app causing this?
Thanks

Hi optical10,
may be it's because of DST?
As you can see Amsterdam, Berlin have +2, where it should be GMT +1, but because of DST it's +2
Greetz,
ceehh.

I see, it changes throughout the year unlike my settings on my Windows mobile phone, That's what was confusing me.. Guess I'll stick to London and Dublin, Thanks
It's what is known as "British Summer Time" or BST. In the UK the clocks are moved forward one hour from GMT in the Spring and then revert back in the Autumn (Fall).
Hey guys - searched, didn't find anything.
I'm spending some time overseas for work. I have my phone with me because I use it for a lot of things besides "phone," and anyway I have "wifi calling" when necessary.
But wifi calling doesn't adjust the time, so the clock is way off right now. I cannot figure out how to adjust it, and therefore using the phone as an alarm clock is a challenge. I'm using a countdown timer to wake me up instead...
Is it POSSIBLE to manually set the time? I dug through all the settings and couldn't locate it anywhere.
Thanks in advance!
It seems you are on stock (or hopefully rooted Gingerbread ROM), since you have wifi calling.
It has been a while for me since I ran a gingerbread rom, but if memory serves me right
there should be an option in Settings to adjust date and time. Just un-tick the box that
says something like automatic time update, thus activating the greyed options which allow
you to change the time zone..
If that didn't work, and your phone is rooted, download the free app called ClockSync
which updates your clock. (similar to windows time update server).
Yeah, rolling Valhalla Black. Would love to put ICS but I travel a lot and need the wifi calling.
Like I said, haven't been able to find "date and time settings," but failing anything else I'll look for the app you mention. THX

Well, apparently I am a moron. I went back into the phone and BAM... "date and time settings."
Problem solved. Thanks for the help.
