Help i need it to be GMT -5 Eastern my calendar is not correct! I switched to the 2.3 ROM and this started happening any way to tweak a default so it won't switch??
Allow a fellow newbie who asked the same question to help.
There is a problem, not with the ROM but with towers. GO to settings\Phone and in the Time Zone Tab, deselect auto change. Remember that if you travel you will have to change the clock manually.
Hopefully a fix will come out for this as some point, either from Cingular or one of the great guys here.
Enable Time Zone Tab
And if you don't have the Time Zone tab (it's under settings->phone) you can run this cab from the T-Mobile ROM to enable it. You can also edit the registry, but for those that don't want to play with the registry this is a bit easier.
Hope it helps.
darn... i should have found this!
Thanks to all the feedback, feeling stupid now..

Don't feel stupid. That one caught most of us on this release! Being in South FLA when it switched to Indiana really threw my Calendar coming from my Exchange 2003 into a snit.
My father used to tell me that there were no stupid questions ... unless you kept asking them ...

Thanks
I have a same problem, everytime I do soft reset, my time changes to GMT -4.caracas :twisted: ...glad I found this post and would like to thanks everyone for solving the problem. 8)
I had this same problem on the AKU2.3 ROM and just switched it off as well. Mine was switching me to Saskatchwan or something like that, and it was an hour off. Anyway, I'm almost certain I had network time updating on with the 2.17 ROM but it always read the correct location. Wonder why the new ROM is dorked up...

My guess is the registry hack enabled something basic while this newer ROM implemented something more. 2.17 seemed to work just fine. I roamed in good test cases and it worked without a single problem (I'm based in Atlanta but took the phone to Toronto, Seattle, Anchorage, and San Jose while on 2.17). I felt like Johnny Cash last month! http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/johnnycash/ivebeeneverywhere.html
As soon as 2.24 booted, it was screwy and made me wonder if I picked the wrong time zone during set-up.
Maybe the new ROM can't figure out where it is because it's so freakin fast! I'll take the speed over time zone automation any day but it was nice while it lasted.
Yeah i definitely love the speed and will deal with the time zone. But I know in the old 1.08 the time zone setting worked fine, so I am saying that it is the ROM and not the towers and stuff that people are saying. But I absolutely love the new ROM.

hi this is understandable but my phone changes date to 3 days forward and dont know what is heppening please help
thanx
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong...this is a MINOR annoyance compared to the speed and stability. Definitely worth the trade off. The few times I'll travel, I'll just switch it manually!
still no timezone settings
I have a stock phone... I installed this cab and nothing happened...
I however tried downloading this first from my phone and it was a php file...
same size so i think it was actually the download but named php.. so i changed it and installed it ... nothing new... soft reset... nothing new...
so i just downloaded it from my laptop and installed the cab onto the mda and ran it... nothing new... soft reset... nothing new...
im checking settings / personal / phone
its just not there
upgraded rom and now I have that tab... however...
if my network is picking up a time later than what I have and that is the network time then what time do my nights and weekends free night time minutes start then ?
just a thought?
is it my time or the time the time it thinks it is in Indiana?

This is a very sad thing!
I have my Tilt (thankfully got the defective one replaced!) and I set it up to sync with my exchange 2007 server which should be push e-mail. In fact I know it is....
On the AT&T stock rom, it stays connected 24/7, never goes offline which is what it's supposed to do.
I get home, flash on the HTC ROM. Set up the partnership with my server, and I look, an hour later it's offline, showing last synchronized 45 minutes ago. I hit sync, it syncs, stays online for maybe ten minutes, then the same thing.
I've tried every cooked ROM too, same deal.
When I do manually sync, it doesnt try to connect to the network, it's already connected. I was wondering if the network settings may need to be tweaked...?
I've already tried adding an exclusive in task manager for activesync.
I'm using a Tilt and on AT&T.
I'm really going to be upset if Im locked to the AT&T rom just because the other ROMS dont handle active sync properly...and I can't beleive that the stock HTC rom has a problem like this...so I'm wondering if the network wizard may not be entering all of the proper settings...
Oh, and as a side note, this is my second Tilt, the first was defective, it it exhibited the exact same behavior. AT&T ROM stays connected properly, non-stock ROM disconnects....
Any advise? I dont want to be stuck with AT&T!
I'm wondering if it's you. it works fine for thousands of other people, and for you, 2 phones it's been "broke"
I had my phone disconnectng from active sync. It didnt bother me in the least because I'm not updating my phone but maybe once a day, i really dont care if it disconnects every 15 minutes. After I found out it was my USB hub, it's worked perfectly ever since. And I never once blamed the phone.
Hey now...no need for any snippy tones there...
I was asking for help here, not looking to be blamed as the source....
Exchange 2007 is supposed to remain totally connected 24/7....and it isnt. And Ive been able to recreate the problem on two separate devices....
So just looking to see if anyone else had had the same.....

You must admit - this statement boggles the mind. You expect AT&T to replace a device because it only works right on their network with the software they shipped on it? Umm, that's their whole EXCUSE for shipping custom ROMs and you're busily proving them right....
It's obviously too late to ask you not to return a hacked device as "defective" and f$ck it all up for the rest of us, but please don't do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your actual question would probably better be phrased as "Anyone on AT&T managing to keep ActiveSync continuously connected to Exchange 2007 with non-AT&T ROM?"
Not at all...I actually had a boat of other problems with my first Tilt..I did not in any way return it because of this problem...
Im not daft...I would never go back to AT&T and ask them to replace something because I monkeyed with it and broke it...
My scroll wheel stopped working along with my GPS....which is why I returned it...after restoring the AT&T ROM back onto it.
So...I will just drop this since it seems as if nobody actually can listen to my problem and offer up solutions,but would rather take potshots at their impressions of my behavior.

No offense, but if you write more clearly you will be misunderstood less.
the first was defective, it it exhibited the exact same behavior doesn't read many other ways than "I returned the last one for this problem".
i gave you a suggestion to start looking at. AT&T and us posters arent out to get you. trust me.
this may sound kind of obvious, but did you check your sync schedule in ActiveSync? Make sure it is set to as items arrive.
I have my activesync working fine with Exchange 2003 on AT&T's network.
Only other thing I can think is if you have KaiserTweak set to disconnnect GPRS automatically after X amount of time.
I have the same problem with mt Tilt. If I use the ATT ROM it works fine but if I move to one of the HTC ROMS I get that problem with Activesync disconnecting from the Exchange server.
I had the same issue on my 8500 with some of the cooked ROMs. On that device the ATT ROM and vp3G's ROMS worked fine (except for one of his; the hybrid I think).
For now I'm just sticking to the ATT ROM and pray vp3G gets a Tilt so he can start making ROMs for our device.
If you don't want all the ATT bloat installed then hard reset and then just hit the soft reset button when it pops up saying it going to customize the device in 3 seconds.
me + kaiser + htc rom + exchange 2007 + at&t network = working just fine

Psy....
THANK YOU!
At least Im not nutso...
I am using the clear AT&T ROM which actually runs very well...its just the customizer in me that needs to make things better even if they arent broken!
Everybody else...sorry if we got off on the wrong foot with this thread...
Start fresh?
I wanted to throw an update out there....
My desire to figure this out got the best of me, so Ive been pretty much just flashing and experimenting for the last few days, and I think I may have actually figured this out....
It looks like it IS something to do with the network wizard. I pulled out a cingular settings cab from my hermes days. Flashed on the HTC rom, cancelled the network wizard, install it, and my AS has been connected for hours and hours. Did the same with one of the new cooked ROMs, same thing. So it looks like something just isnt quite right with the network wizard when it puts in the AT&T settings....

Nice work! What I've done to track this kind of thing is to use DotFred's TaskManager and export the *entire* registry before and after, then use a "diff" type utility to compare the two. Some obvious timestamps, etc, always change but it's usually pretty apparent where the change(s) were.
Might be interesting to do that between your working config and the wizard's config and see if there's just one or two settings different....

I wonder what all there is in the cab file? I haven't tested it on my Tilt but on the 8525 if I canceled the customization and inputed the network settings myself it didn't stay connected.
Where do I get a copy of this cab file so I can look at it?
I'm attaching the cab for the settings....been working like a champ for over a day now, so Im going to call this issue resolved in my book....
rsoloman,
Sounds like a plan...there definitely has to be something different between the AT&T settings both in the cab and included in the AT&T ROM versus what comes with the network wizard......
Sounds like a scooby doo mystery to me!

Well, personally I'm happy on the AT&T ROM, so it will take someone else running the .reg file extractions. I'll be happy to help analyze the two, but right now it won't be me extracting them
Richard
For the record I'm using a tilt flashed to HTC ROM on at&t without any AS problems running Exchange Push.
I always manually input the at&t settings though.
Mine actually worked fine both the stock AT&T rom and the HTC rom. I just started having this problem with duty's touchflo tilt rom. The cab posted here did not make any change for me. Any other suggestions?
ActiveSync BOOSTER
Is there a way to boost up speed of Sync
Is there a any software or Cab file for it ?
Also want to know after we sync Phone
It keeps repeating to sync, is there a way to stop it ?

Just wondering if anyone is having the same problem with telenav, or if there is a fix to it. Ive looked around the forum with search and cant seem to find anything but telenav not being compatible with custom roms.
Im using Dutty's latest rom with my Tilt and i recently just added telenav to my phone, when i bring it up, it connects fine and gets to the screen where you select "drive to" and "maps". When i try to determine my own location to record it, i hit go and it basically brings up the connecting box where it goes from 0 to 100% but it doesnt move at all for me after a few mins anywhere i go..also i cant do any routes for the same reason..it seems like its just not making a good connection when im outside. I checked my connection settings, proxy is not on..set up for medianet on both connections as i read from another persons suggestion, but still no go..
assisted gps is also turned off..i can do quik gps and everything else just fine but it hangs when trying to download the route...ive re-installed the program also but no go still.
anyone have any ideas to what might be causing this?
if this problem has been resolved, ive looked and looked in the forums but maybe my eyes are blind lol.
thanks for any help.
I'm running Dutty's latest 6.1 dated April 9 and Telenav and have no issue. Runs flawless.
ok
What are your connections settings, are you on medianet?

gprs setting
is your gprs setting set to chap authentication, i havnt touched this but mines set to chap, but this is auto configured when setting up the network with att?
still not working..
Yah my telenav is still hanging up at getting gps when trying to find route and my location...installed gpsgate and changed the radio to 1.58.16.27 not sure what else to try..
Can't remember, but do you download telenav through Pocket IE after you flash the custom rom?
I can't remember if it auto-decides what download you get based on your PIE useragent, or if you select the product for downloading... but if it's based on UserAgent you may run into issues...
Cellular video, for example, does not work if the UserAgent is not the Tilt
yah
i downloaded the cab through a txt message i received from att. i selected att and then my phone and it auto installed from there.
only thing i havnt tried is changing my rom but i dont see how that would help..im using dutty's apr 1st release.

First, did you Hard reset after rom flash at the "Tap here to alighn" screen? Second, did you install Telenav prior to any cooked rom flash? The reason I ask this if you got the file from AT$T while you were using a stock rom then that is fine, but if you got while you were using a cooked rom, it is probably a bad file. The reason is that most cooked roms have the PIE User agent set to TYTN II not HTC-8900 (AT$T Tilt) which could cause a corrupt download if you indeed have a Tilt. I suggest uninstall, power down, power back up and try the file I attached. I have installed it with every rom I have tried, literally dozens and never had an issue. When I say power down, power back up, dont do a soft reset. Use the power button.
yah i always do the hard reset after flashing. i dl'd it with dutty's apr 1st rom..i selected the file based off carrier and phone model. I will try your cab after work..im hoping it will fix it haha thanks man. Once i get home i will let you know how it went

well for some reason still it seems to be taking its time when looking for a route somewhere..it gets to 10% after 2 mins and 30% after 6 mins..it was working fast as hell yesterday and i dont think it should be taking that long right?
i started up gpsgate b4 i ran telenav, its saying it has gps data coming in but no position..
im clueless..lol

Just a question but do you have assisted Gps enabled? If so, disable it. If that doesnt fix it, maybe try GPSTest?
I've tried my gps in a load of places and the closest i've got my location to is 1500 m.....
I've done it alongside my friends N95 and he pretty much instantly got our location spot on with his google maps app, but my diamond couldnt get it.... left it for about 5 minutes before giving up!
Any help would be ace
Did you load the Almanach Data before?
e.g. Did you ever started QuickGPS before?
Have you clicked on the menu tab in google maps and clicked on the use gps button.
I havn't started quickGPS before, but yes, i did tick the use GPS button. It said searching for satelites in a small blue box at the top of the screen and then that disappeared.
I've never got a fixed location off of it letalone trying it at home, work, town, everywhere
Try the quick gps application first,it will help by getting the latest satelite information.
What version rom are you using.
Errrm, bit of a noob to the whole winmo scene, diamond is my first and i ony got that about a week ago....
How do you find out the rom version?
Also, another seperate question... is it worth updating ROM? I've been to the other forum and heard names like Bepe and stuff, but it doesnt mean anything...
boch501 said:

Click to expand...

Start > Settings > System tab > Device Information. Your ROM version is in there. If you have 1.35 or 1.37, then YES it is definitely worth updating. Whether you use a stock ROM or a cooked rom (like Bepe) is up to you.
I'm following this thread because I've had similar problems with GPS, even though I've already followed every advice I found when searching. It's not a high priority for me though. Anyway, I've played with both the Windows and Google GPS settings, every combination thereof, and everything else I can think of, but no real luck. At ONE point it was working, but then I flashed another ROM and never got it going again.
i got a ROM: 1.37.405.1
Radio 1.00.25.03
which means????
I had it working using the same ROM/radio versions as yours, AND I JUST GOT IT WORKING AGAIN! I know I tried this unsuccessfully since flashing 1.93, but this time it worked...
Leave the Windows GPS settings at default. In Google Maps GPS settings, set it manually to COM4 and 19200. Go outside, and tap Use GPS. It will say "initializing" for a while (give it time), and get a fix. After the first time it's slightly faster, but still seems pretty damn slow.
thanks, will try those settings tomorrow when it's slightly less cold, dark and rainy outside

Hey all, I realize this is my 1st post, I've been without my PC for quite sometime.
I recently got a Diamond for both myself and wife, we have both flashed to the NEW sprint 2.00 ROM and we're both suffering from this DST bug.
We're both set back to Mountain Time after we start the phone. We've tried to set the correct time zone, then press the update time button and it resets it back to mountain which appears to be default now for some reason. I've installed Advanced Configuration Manager 3.3 and I've set everything back to "Default" restarted, soft reset, removed my battey, banged my against the sharp corner of my desk and nothing.
I did however get a new PRL update to 60651, I dun think that would affect it but who knows? anyone? Please help , for the amount of money we paid the auto time update feature should work.
I'm with Sprint, in Orange Ca.
HTC Diamond with the 'new' leaked Sprint 2.00 ROM
Thanks for this forum, since being a Diamond owner, I've found this forum to be priceless.

Its not a bug but some features that you activated or is activated by default after your flashing. To resolve your issue, go to phone settings>time zones> and uncheck "Automatic change time zone and clock". This should allow you to save your timezone.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, I've had to do that, Ultimately this isn't something I want to continue doing.
Simply put, This is an expensive phone. Everything should work properly.
I'm trying to edit the registry and make sure all the settings for GMT_OFFSET are correct. Trouble is I have two Diamonds that are incorrect.
What's even more confusing is why in God's green Earth would the phone default to Mountain Time after a sync or a restart?

You do this once and it is set, at least mine. This setting is conserved even after sync and restart.
One hypothesis that I have, is that when you set it for automatic time zone retrieval, the phone requests the time zone setting from your operator and if the latter has wrong time zone, your phone just use this information. I think that the time zone error is not with the phone but the operator diffusing wrong information.
This happens to me only when we had the DST change, the phone keeps going to the old time that is 1 hour earlier.
Just try this:
enabled "Automatic change time zone and clock", your time will be wrong as before even if you try to set manually your timezone and clock. Now turn on flight mode to disable your phone function and set manually good timezone and clock. It stay correct and doesn't revert back to the problem you were having. This demonstrates that the "Automatic change time zone and clock" settings is retrieve from your operator and maybe DST has not been taken in consideration by them.
Yes I've tried that. When you say operator do you mean my carrier?
Its Sprint in your case. I think its your carrier though here we call it operator
So it seems that nothing can be done. 400
dollar phone that can't keep time. Thanks for the help anyway guys
I'm seriously the only person to have been affected by this? I've hard reset just now and I'm right back to mountain time zone. I click synchronize time/update and...sigh
Is everyone with a Diamond just ok with leaving the button unchecked? A 50 dollar metropcs phone can keep time correctly, what gives?
I've had my operator take me out of the system , reprovision me, tried all the outdated (not for my OS or version but did it anyway) DST update patches from microsoft.
Could it be the ROM "Leaked Sprint 2.00?"
try installing this cab...its a daylight savings cab issued by Microsoft...it may fix it.

Hello.
This is my first post here although I've been lurking for quite some time now. So far I've found the forum very helpful. Thanks
Anyway, I've recently emailed HTC support about some problems I've had with my appointments being an hour off after I sync it with my PC. They've emailed me this patch to install on my phone, and so far it's worked swimmingly. I'm sharing it here just in case any of you have been having the same issues as well.
Hi there,
Sorry if this a retarded question, I can't find anyone else that's asked.
Basically my unbranded Touch Pro 2 has in the data connection settings the default selections of UK and then TMobile.
What i need to know is, on these cooked ROMs will that setting still be there? If not where do i get the settings to reenable my data.
I'm going to do the HardSPL and flash thing tonight for first time. I'm a little aprehensiveso just wanna make sure I don't install some flashy ROM but lose my 3G browsing.
Thanks to whoever can set my mind at rest.
I have an unbranded tp2 on tmobile uk from expansys, connection settings with custom roms bring up tmobile uk. It did when i was flashing Kaiser roms.
Having trouble at the mo with mms on the current rom I've flashed but gonna do a bit of searching tonight to sort that.
(need to update my sig from kaiser to tp2)
cool, good to know someone else with sam setup. mine is from mobilephonesdirect.
I don't send a lot of mms, but what is the known issue?
Also were there any complications for you or a smooth install and Hardspl flash?
cheers
I think maybe we should take this to pm to keep the forum uncluttered? check your inbox.
@dazkeirle
My unbranded TP2's on T-Mobile and from MobilePhonesDirect too!
OK I was all up for flashing last night (HardSPL) but lost my bottle when i came to something which was not mentioned.
When i first started tot run the program, with my phone in an activsync connection everything was normal.
Then when i click Automatic flash, then ok on the next screen (before the screen with the picture of the TP2 on it) my TP2 goes into a kind of dead mode, black screen no lights.
Now i think this is normal from what I've read, but the weird thing is my computer indicates here that the USB is dropped and activsync disconnects, however some other drivers are then installed and the phone is sort of still connected (although that isnt indicated anywhere).
I was nervous as activsync was not there so hit cancel, did a soft reset on phone and all was still normal (preflashed state).
Please can somebody confirm that activsync only is there at the start and that the activsync will disconnect after you hit ok, it's not explicitly defined in the tutorial and I'm nervous of bricking handset.
Thanks
