The time zone keeps changing. I using the 2.3 ROM. I keep resetting it and it resets itself. My Today screen shows appointments off by an hour (I am in the Eastern time zone) but when you select the appointment the calendar shows the correct time. Madding.
What is going on that allows the time zone to revert to Indiana?
It's the new feature of Auto-timezone setting. Just uncheck it. It always default to Indiana after reboot. If your time zone keep changing, it's likely one of the cell tower near you has incorrect time zone setting.
Do a search on automatic time zone update.
Cingular doesn't know how to set the time zone properly on its towers.
It's a known issue.
If you had searched you would have found the answer because it's been answered about 1000X times already. It's a known issue that some towers broadcast the wrong time zone.
Go to start > settings > phone > time zones tab and disable the "auto update time zone & date" function.
Your device will sync with your PC's clock at next sync anyway.
Thank you very much including the scolding. I've spent alot of time scouring this forum and others and never saw that was an issue. Thanks again.

Hello....just downloaded xelencin 2.24 ROM couple of days ago and ran into a problem with my calendar. All my appointments seemed to have shifted one hour earlier!! :x I've already enabled my time zones in the settings menu...what else is there to do?
disable the auto time zone ... it'll will solve the one hour problem ... but I had other calendar problems with this ROM, see page 3,4 on this thread:

Well documented problem (especially with Cingular) where the network towers are reporting the wrong timezone.
DIsable Network Time Sync and then change the timezone to your correct TZ.
Thanx a bunch!!! Once I disabled the time zones..and went back into setting my clock back at the right time...NO MORE PROBLEMS with my calendar and appointments
How do you disable the auto Network timezone?
How do you disable the auto Network timezone?
settings: phone: time zone
uncheck the box
I'm on T-Mobile in Colorado and it keeps changing me to AZ time zone when I have the box checked. Maybe I'll call Tmo and complain...it would be nice if they fixed it.
sorry for the double post
I am in Denver CO in the US also, I just unchecked the box and reset my phone the timezone stayed WOOT thanks guys.
I am running the stock AT&T Tilt, without any of the bloatware (having hit soft reset and aborting the installation of the extra CABS).
While I didn't think we needed to run the Microsoft DST fix, I found that phone is not reporting the correct time vis-a-vis OggSync, as I try to sync with my google calendar.
When I applied the DST fix, and then did the additional steps - go into Clock, set to a DIFFERENT time zone, close out of Clock, say OK to knowing that it will change appt times, etc. Returning to today screen. Giving the system a moment to adjust to new time zone. Go back into Clock, set to CORRECT time zone, close out of Clock, say OK to knowing that it will change appt times, etc. Returning to today screen, and letting system readjust to correct time. Then, DST is set and OggSync reports that the DST registry setting is correct.
Here is the problem: Each time I soft re-set, it loses the DST registry setting reading. I have to go back to the Clock and do the hocus-pocus changing of time zones to get it to read correctly.
I can't be the only one having this problem, can I? Can anyone suggest what I may be missing? Is there something that ATT added in one of the CABS that fixes this that I may be missing?
Please, if you can, wise gurus....HELP!!!
You might try turning off the Automatic Time Zone detection, which is under Settings > Phone > Time Zone. See if that fixes it.
According to MS, WM6 doesn't need the DST patch. Both my phones, 8525 & Tilt changed times without the patch.

You might need to install the DST patch on your PC, not your Tilt.
On this link you will find the patch for your PC:

Thanks all for the replies.
I am not using a PC, so this isn't coming from that area.
My Tilt IS reporting the correct time and made the adjustment at 2 am on last Sunday.
The issue is that when OggSync (which is used to sync with Google Calendar) READS the registry settings for the time zone, they aren't there (or something like that, I think). The same issue happens when using SyncMyCal, another way of syncing with Google Calendar.
Is ANYONE syncing successfully directly with Google Calendar and has solved this problem? Or anyone else discovering issues?
It is weird. The phone is fine (time zone wise), but now its not just a soft reset. It seems that each time I open OggSync, I have to go through the little change-timezone-dance.
Any other thoughts?

Thank you very much for this tip! I never would have thought to look there for the problem I was experiencing, but UNCHECKING the Automatic Time Zone detection as you suggested solved the problem for me. I was this close <holds fingers pretty close together> to hard-resetting my PDA to attempt to combat the issue, and your suggestion saved me!
Thanks again.
Google calendar seems to have the wrong time zone for my events.
I searched this forum for "time zone" and didn't see anything relevant.
I am located in Boston. I just double-checked my settings on the google maps website and confirmed that my time zone is set to Eastern Time (GMT-5).
On my G1, I went into the date/time settings and confirmed that it is on automatic. Presumably the towers in the Boston area know that they're in the Eastern time zone.
However, when I go to the calendar app on the phone and bring up an event, it has the right "time" (that is, if I set it for 7-8pm Eastern on the website, it shows up as 7-8 on the phone, not shifted) -- but it says the time zone is "America/Detroit" (which would be central time or GMT-6.
So what the heck is going on here? How can I fix it?
Thanks
EDIT: I just discovered that if I uncheck automatic and manually choose "Eastern" it shows up as GMT-4, not GMT-5. Wait a minute, now I see what is going on. The time change was last weekend. Is it REALLY possible that Google's servers don't know that Eastern is now GMT-4 since we "sprang forward" last week? It's been a while since the daylight saving date changed.
I hope for google's sake that they know about the time change... It could be a bug, my phone hasn't had any problems, I'm from ny. I think if u have it set to automatic time that shuld be updated by ur provider n not google,
thanks!

Hi!
Thanks for posting! I had this same problem over here in Portugal. After mannually setting the timezone it's fine again.
Kudos!
min says America/Detroit also... i wish it didn't... but it doesn't bother me i guess.
My device time gets changed every time I connect it to my PC with Internet connection.My Local Time is (Tehran, Iran time = +3.30) and we have Summer Time Daylight saving change On March 21st and set back to normal Time on September 22nd.
Please help me to Disable its automatic time changing.
The reason this is happening is probably because your device and the computers think they are in different locations on the map, so the time changes every time you sync. I had the same problem. My comp's regional setting was to Thai and my device's was set to India. Once I set the computers location right it was fine.
Thank you
I was facing same problem. Laptop was on US time zone and I mobile in india . Resolved. Thanks
I'm in the mountain time zone and always had my phone automatically get the correct time from my provider but this morning I noticed it had not rolled the time back for DST. In the date and time settings if I select automatic it changes my time zone to central for some reason.
I've tried uninstalling the weather and clock widget I have. I've also restarted the phone multiple times and what's interesting is when it first boots up it shows the correct time until it gets a signal and updates the time from my provider to central time. I've also tried turning on location via wifi and GPS does lock me to the correct location.
Running stock 2.1 with root and OCLF on Bell i-9000m (unlocked and using on Telus). My other phones all show the correct time.
